The face of pale, blooming flowers...
...is left behind as the seasons pass by.
The rain stops, and there are clouds in the sky.
And there is a gentle, blue breeze.
On the sides of the two...
...walking from today to tomorrow...
...there are memories that sway without change.
Forever, forever blooming yet never withering.
The racing of this heart will never cease.
More than anyone, more than anyone, I have looked at you.
Without bounds, this feeling... forever.
Oh, I took quite a few shots.
Oh, yeah.
This is the cat I mentioned.
It appeared everywhere...
...from the university quad all the way to rooftop naps.
That cat must have liked you tremendously, Kaoru-sama.
It just wanted food.
When I say, "I have nothing"...
...it goes away with a "you're so cheap" look on its face.
Oh, you're so daring, Kaoru!
Ta-dah!
It's obvious you're drunk and clinging on to me.
So you really don't remember.
W-Was I, really?
Oh, it was a total mess after this!
A professor caught us after this and scolded us.
Oh, I see.
You look like you are having fun.
- You think so? - Yes.
A lot of fun.
Huh?
Can this be...
That's right!
That's Mitsurugi-ya's taiyaki pastry!
No one ever knows where that mythical taiyaki shop will appear.
Tina, you've eaten it once, right?
Yeah!
The elusive moving taiyaki shop, Mitsurugi-ya!
Crispy outside with red bean paste all the way to the tail!
It was totally wonderful!
Is it that good?
I want to eat it once.
- Don't you, Aoi-chan? - Yes.
I am sorry to interrupt your fun...
- Kaoru-dono. - Y-Yes?
I thought you were not allowed inside this house after 10?
Miyabi-san is really strict.
Kaoru-sama!
Aoi-chan.
What's wrong?
Um, Kaoru-sama...
If you do not mind, may I have that photo from earlier?
The one from earlier...
Um...
- This one? - Yes, this one.
Kaoru-sama, I would like to hear your stories again.
Oh, college stories?
Yes. I love hearing your stories, Kaoru-sama.
Sure, if you would like to.
Episode 10 Place of Learning
Hey, Tina, aren't you ready yet?
Oh, wait, wait!
Tina-san, do you have your lunch?
Yeah! Even if I forget my textbooks, I wouldn't forget this!
- Then... - We're on our way!
Yes, do take care.
Well, I have to do my best, too!
Taeko-san is rather large...
I am not even close.
I wonder if Kaoru-sama likes big-breasted women...
Uzume, no!
Oh, yes.
I will clean Kaoru-sama's room today, as well.
Excuse me.
First, I need to fold the futon.
Kaoru-sama's futon is so relaxing...
It might be because it smells like him...
The Kaoru-sama that I do not know...
Kaoru-sama's university...
I would like to go there once.
Oh, no! I need to clean!
Aoi-sama, you were here?
Oh, Miyabi-san.
Are you done with work?
Yes, most of it.
Before that, Aoi-sama...
It's almost the usual time.
Yes, it is.
Come, let us go, Aoi-sama.
Yes.
Why?
Why can't we, Miyuki?
We can't!
Because...
You and I...
...are brother and sister, tied by blood!
W-What?
But...
But still, I...
I love you!
Naoki-san!
Miyuki!
I still cannot forgive that woman's indecisiveness!
Is that so?
I think I can understand how she feels.
We can't miss the next episode!
True.
Oh, no.
I'll be going to the Tokyo branch board meeting.
I'll be back by evening, so I trust you with the house until then.
Yes, do take care.
What should we have for dinner tonight?
We've finally found it!
Legendary taiyaki shop!
The legendary taiyaki shop, Mitsurugi-ya!
We're now behind Umegaoka's 3rd district's Kenageya Supermarket.
Why did you think of starting a moving taiyaki shop?
Kenageya? The one nearby?
I'm working all by myself, so I can't deal with long lines.
Maintaining the quality of what's known as a culinary masterpiece!
I'd like people in various cities to eat it, too.
This is the one Tina-san mentioned.
Crispy outside with red bean paste all the way to the tail!
It was totally wonderful!
Will you be working here today?
No, I'm going to move in about an hour.
Aoi-san's lunch is delicious as usual!
It's a masterpiece!
You again?
What?
You want something?
If it's an animal's feelings, leave it to me!
I see. This is your territory.
Move so you can enjoy the sun?
Damn you!
Give back that fried chicken!
You were totally off...
It looks like it was just hungry.
Mitsurugi-ya
Taiyaki
Thanks.
Yes, thank you very much.
Oh, yes.
Eat it soon.
They're great cold too, but I'd like you to have them warm.
S-Sure.
Mitsurugi-ya
While they are warm...
Next stop, Meiritsu University Front Gate.
Please press the buzzer if you wish to exit.
Kaoru-sama is here...
Meiritsu University
I wonder if it is all right to go in?
Want to see a movie after lecture?
Sure! Let's go!
- Which one? - Let me think...
Um...
Here.
You dropped this.
Oh, thank you.
Not at all.
There's a girl like her in our university?
Dunno.
Let me peek in for a little bit.
Ai Yori Aoshi
Photography Club
If I had known this, I would've cleaned up earlier!
Anything'll do as long as it's usable in this case.
I'm back!
Chief, Vice-chief.
We bought all the materials for the photo fair.
Oh, leave it around there somewhere.
Whatcha doing?
It's gotta be a kimono for Japanese!
Traditional clothes are Japan's heart!
Traditional clothes?
You haven't heard...
...about the traditional Japanese beauty walking around campus?
Traditional Japanese beauty?
An elegant, innocent, beautiful woman on campus for a movie.
Here it is!
Great job, Sato! Let's go!
Yeah!
Aoi-chan's lunch was delicious.
I wonder what she's doing right now?
I wonder what to do when I see Kaoru-sama?
Will he be surprised?
But I might be a bother, coming so suddenly...
You're not a student here, are you?
Is that kimono for a film?
Um...
Are you a model or something?
What's your name?
Tell us, tell us!
- Come on! - Come on!
- Filming today? - Tell us.
- Or a photo shoot? - Where are they?
I am sorry!
A traditional Japanese beauty...
It can't possibly be Aoi-san, can it?
Impossible!
What would she be doing here?
- Aoi-san! - Miss Landlord!
I was surprised.
I really should go back now.
I wonder where the exit is.
- Kaoru! - Senpai!
Wake up!
Senpai!
Tina...
Taeko-chan...
Kaoru, Miss Landlord is here on campus!
Oh, I see...
What?
Another dead end...
Kaoru-sama...
This isn't it.
I wonder where Aoi-san went?
No sign after looking this hard.
Maybe she went home?
But why did Aoi-chan come here?
Maybe she had an urgent errand?
I hope she isn't lost somewhere out there...
You both have afternoon lectures, right?
Kaoru, what are you gonna do?
I'll go look a little more.
Let us know if you find her!
What other places would she most likely know?
You look like you are having fun.
Kaoru-sama...
Aoi-chan!
K-Kaoru-sama?
I'm glad.
You were here, after all!
What's wrong? Why are you hiding there?
I apologize.
I apologize for coming out here on my own.
You're always welcome here.
I am not a bother?
That couldn't be.
I'm actually happy you're here.
Kaoru-sama!
Oh, that reminds me!
I bought taiyaki earlier today.
Taiyaki?
The person who sold it to me said to eat it warm...
That's why you came here.
I wanted to eat it together with you.
However, he only had one left.
Here, Kaoru-sama.
I'll take this end.
Delicious.
Eating taiyaki while standing outside makes my heart race.
Can it be this is your first time?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want to go out somewhere now?
I'm done with today's lectures.
Really?
We'll go wherever you want to go, Aoi-chan.
Where I want to go?
Where would you like? A movie? Shopping?
Then I would like to accept the offer...
I'd like a tour of your university.
Here?
Yes!
This is my classroom, and I always sit over there.
Is that so.
This is where I always eat your lunches, Aoi-chan.
Here?
When I eat at home, I will remember this spot.
You again.
Is this cat the one?
Yeah, the stray that appears everywhere.
So cute!
The traditional Japanese beauty in kimono was you!
What's this about?
Um...
Aoi-chan, was this really fun?
Yes, it was very fun.
Today truly was a great day.
I wanted to see your university for once, Kaoru-sama.
The more I hear everyone's fun university stories...
Aoi-chan...
I see.
That's why...
Today, I saw many sides of you I never knew before.
It was so wonderful seeing you at your university.
I have fallen even more in love with you.
Aoi-chan...
I'll tell you many more stories from now on.
What I've seen...
Done...
Heard...
Lots of things.
I'll tell you them.
Yes, please tell me many stories.
Kaoru!
Aoi-san!
- Tina. - Taeko-san.
You ran into Aoi-san.
Kaoru, you have to contact us!
We were worried!
Sorry, sorry.
I am sorry that I made you worry.
I'm starving now.
I will start dinner when I get back.
I have not gone shopping yet today.
I am sorry.
What?
Y-You're kidding!
Then how about we all eat out together for once?
Miyabi-san will be late, right?
Yes.
All right, that's settled!
Tae, what do you want?
How about sushi?
Sushi?
Turntable sushi.
What is turntable sushi?
It's where the sushi spins around!
The sushi spins?
Not only sushi, but pudding and all sorta things!
What is the weakest thing in this world?
Even so, it exists to protect the two.
Because there's as much of it as there are stars above.
I wanted to hear it from your voice.
So tell me it's love.
Tell me that it really is love.
Even if the two are like unknown flowers...
To fall in love...
To become very strong...
Because I want you to feel the same thing...
...a small, fragile love.
