I...
I kissed Tsukasa?!
What...well, what do you know?
I thought I felt something sucking my face. It was you!
I thought the suction would break my teeth!
Tsukushi! Don't tell me you actually kissed -
Stop right there! Don't say it!
Atami Night Love
My very first kiss...
I don't believe it. Your first?
You're a lucky girl, to have me for your first kiss.
You should be thankful.
But you need to work on your style...
...because that was pretty aggressive!
Stay away from me!
Are you...crying?
Hey! Wait!
I'm cursed.
I got all dressed up...
...and I tried to be something I'm not.
Cinderella for a night.
Stupid! I'm so totally stupid!
We're back!
Wow, what a stunning dress!
I bet you made their eyes pop out!
I'm going to bed.
Tsukushi...!
It was my very first kiss. I wanted it to be with someone I loved...
A kiss is no big deal...
It was just a kiss...no big deal...
Just a kiss...no big deal...
Just a kiss...
They must be shooting a film over there!
I'll bet! Check out those fabulous babes!
It's not exactly Miami Beach, is it?
Take a picture, it'll last longer! Trash!
I didn't want to come here in the first place!
The water's filthy; you can't breathe the air;...
...and the place is full of rugrats and old farts!
Mom?! Where are we going?
To sit near the Eitoku kids! Where else?
What?! No! No way!
I know why she doesn't want to see Tsukasa Domyoji!
It's because... because...
...because he forced Tsukushi to kiss him!
Shut up, Kazuya!
A...A kiss?!
Alright, Tsukushi!
My daughter's got a boyfriend!
Oh, for heaven's sake...
Just drop it, will you?!
Tsukushi!
Oh...hi.
Jeez, why am I turning beet red?!
Have you noticed you're staring at each other?
These two kissed last night. I saw 'em.
You've gotta be kidding, Sojiro!
That can't be right... Can it, Tsukasa?!
I couldn't stop her.
She came up and jumped on me!
I didn't have any choice!
I knew it! That little hick is an animal!
When nobody was looking, she stalked her prey!
What a tramp!
That's not what happened!
It was an accident!
I tripped and fell into Tsukasa! I didn't mean to kiss him!
What are you telling me for?
I don't care who you kiss.
It makes no difference to me.
Did you see the look on her face?!
That's a classic!
I'm such an idiot!
Thinking Rui Hanazawa would help me again...!
Hey! You!
Huh?
You hurt Tsukushi! Embarrassed her in front of everyone!
Now I'm gonna have to take you down!
I have to forget it ever happened...
Now, which room was Shizuka's...?
I'll just slip in and leave this...
I'm so sorry!
Oh, my gosh!... Eeek!
Everybody's doing it! When did this start happening?!
There she is... Shizu...
You're disappointed, aren't you?
About what?
That Tsukushi isn't here tonight.
Why would you care?
Because you like her, don't you?
I figured that out when you came to her rescue in the cafeteria.
I was a bit jealous...
...but your heart doesn't only belong to me, does it?
Even if that were true, does it matter?
I'd think you two made a good couple.
What's so funny Rui?
That's a low shot. Don't say it if you don't mean it.
You play with people's feelings, then smile as if it's all a game...
...and disappear when people get hurt.
Rui...that's not what I meant...
You're toying with me! Stop it!
You think I care about Tsukushi Makino? Get real.
The one I want to have in my arms is...
Rui!
Rui, what's wrong with you?! Let me go!
Look! I got another one!
Pretty cool, huh? That's ten squid to zip!
Listen, dork, this isn't over yet!
You might have more fish now, but we aren't done fishing.
More "squid", not "fish". They've got tentacles, see?
Boy, you really are dumb! Dumb as a bucket of squid!
Like I said, we're not finished! In fact...
I've got one on the line... and it's too big for you, little man!
In your face!!
Stop laughing!!
That's nothing compared to the pain you put Tsukushi through!
What do you know?!
A lot!
We've been friends since grade school.
The Tsukushi I knew was no outcast!
She's bright, and she was always popular...
...because she's so generous, and so kind!
And now look what you...you...!
Huh! Sounds like you're in love.
Well, no accounting for taste.
Sorry to disappoint you, but she loves me.
That's a lie!
I don't think so. The proof is in that kiss she gave me last night.
It's a shame I have no interest in that poor deluded girl...
...but boy, I remember those soft lips...
...as she pressed against me, pulling me close...
Liar! Tsukushi wouldn't do that!
Aaaagh! Liar! Liar!
Stupid idiot! Moron!
Hey, that hurts, you jerk!
Liar! Liar! It's a lie! It's a lie!
Aaaahh, Tsukushi!
You think I care about Tsukushi Makino? Get real.
The only one I want to have in my arms is...
I have no interest in other people...
Strange girl...
Each time I'd open the door to the staircase, my heart would race...
It was like going to see my precious treasure...
Rui Hanazawa...
Tsukushi?
What are you doing here?
Kazuya...! Nothing much. What about you?
Hi, Tsukushi.
Take look at all the squids we caught!
Squid? You caught them together?
Well, yeah...
Look at how many! They're all mine!
This guy can only catch octopuses that get away!
Quiet, you!
Wow...how many fish are there in there?
They're not fish; they're squids, you dummy!
When did you become an expert?
Shut up!
Make me!
Look at those goofballs!
At least this takes my mind off things...
Rui? What's wrong?
How can you be so calm...
...when I grabbed you and dragged you in here?
Rui...
Rui, it's all right with me. I'm happy about it.
That you would need me so badly...
After all, you are a man...
No! I don't just want your body...!
Don't be afraid. We are a man and a woman...
And this is completely natural...
Shizuka... I...
Don't talk...
Hey, everybody, up on deck!! It's squid-eatin' time!
Wha?
You gotta be kidding...
What's the deal, Tsukasa?!
Are you crazy?
Come on! Eat up! I got yer squids here!
That's right, all caught by yours truly!
That looks good. Can I have some?
I'll go get...
That's okay, I'll just have some of yours...
Where's...um...Shizuka?
Who knows? Sleeping, I guess.
It's a shame that you were... interrupted...!
What am I saying?!
Were you listening?
No! Not really! I mean, I didn't mean to!
I was passing by and I just... I just...
Ahh! My eyes!
I've got smoke from the grill in my eyes...
I'll never understand women.
They seem so strong, but they only think of themselves.
Don't hate me!
We're the emergency stairway friends!
Or is it just my imagination...
If I hated you, would I have helped you?
Here, somebody, give this to Rui.
Give it to him yourself!
Bury the hatchet already, good grief!
Rui, I really don't want to give this to you, but eat it.
Gee, that was tactful...
I never knew you could eat them like this!
They're pretty good this way.
You bet! It's 'cause I caught 'em!
What? I caught 'em!
Funny... tonight I was saved by the one I least expected!
Thank you, Tsukasa!
But I won't expect it to be this way tomorrow!
Whuh?
Summer's over! Back to school... and to bullying and torment.
But then I remember those moments on that staircase...
...where Rui Hanazawa would smile kindly at me...
It makes it all worthwhile!
