I’m freezing!
Gimme more of that sleeping bag!
It’s my sleeping bag you know!
Besides, you all should’ve planned ahead if you wanted to camp out.
It’s not even 9 o’clock yet, do we have to sleep now?
We’ll just get hungry again if we stay up.
Plus our “dinner” only consisted of candy anyways.
I can’t sleep if I’m hungry.
Oh, for the love of… quit your whining!
Zaitsu, you sure get pissy when you’re hungry, don’t you?
Enough! All of you just shut up!
I wonder if Kusuda-kun and the guys got away?
From that pack of dogs?
What are you talking about, Chikura-chan?
Those weren’t dogs, they were wolves!
Huh? Wolves? Aren’t they extinct?
Hold on, why are we talking about that?
We should be wondering whether or not those guys are okay.
We don’t have to worry about that. They have Zaitsu-kun with them.
Honestly, I hope they are all right.
W-What?
Kei-chan, I envy you and your big breasts.
Wow, they are big!
Hey!
What’s with you, and Ayumi!
Come on, let us have a good look!
Guys, this is no time for that!
Behave yourselves!
Aaaah!
Our precious food supply!
It’s been all devoured!
We had 18 left last night when we ate!
Who? Who the hell ate it all?
Why are you so damn quiet about this, Kusuda?
Then that means you’re the culprit!
That’s right.
I ate some. But…
I only ate two.
That means one of you made off with the other sixteen!
I didn’t eat sixteen! I only ate five or six…
Then that means Sogabe ate the other ten.
It’s not that big of a difference.
That’s horseshit!
I only ate two goddamn bars! You fucking ate ten…
Well, they were my candy to begin with anyways.
That’s not the point! At least save us some damn crumbs…
Getting pissed off only makes you hungry.
Would you like to have some candy, Big Brother?
No.
Why the hell is he with us?
Very well, why don’t I massage your shoulders?
Riding the train this long must make your shoulders stiff.
Big Brother!
I don’t care what you do to me, I’m not letting you have Ayumi!
I loved your sister from the very beginning!
I love her a thousand, no a million times more than…!
Arihara…
Huh?
You keep yelling out “Ayumi, Ayumi!” all the time…
And your point?
Can you think seriously about Yamamoto-san for once?
Why bring up Yamamoto-san just now?
Bessho… are you…?
Where would Zaitsu-kun and the guys head off to?
If they keep going along here…
The ocean!
Alright, let’s search everywhere along this area’s coastline!
Yeah!
Let’s go!
Ah, I’m finally full!
A man can’t survive on an empty stomach.
Survive?
We didn’t come all this way just to do that.
What are we gonna do? We only have $1.50 left.
I think we should just go back home.
You’ve already made up your mind, haven’t you?
Huh?
You want to recover from how your next-door Onee-san rejected you, right?
So you’re really going to strut back home, are you?
Well…
I still ain’t going back.
I’m not returning either.
I’m not…
I’m not… going back like this either.
I want to give up on her, to forget all about her.
But I haven’t forgotten a single thing.
I know exactly how you feel.
I haven’t forgotten Chikura-san one bit.
Sogabe-kun… do you like Chikura-san?
Chikura-san’s smile… her smile is so radiant! I’m just not worthy of it!
I’m simply not good enough for her. I am never going back!
And me, Saki-nee only has eyes for worthless toolbags that can never understand her.
I know damn well that I’m the one that can make her happy!
I want to make Chikura-san happy too!
I’ll definitely become a better man than him!
I am… utterly pathetic! I wanna be a cool guy!
What about you, Kusuda?!
Yell it out, Kusuda!
I don’t have to.
You’re out of sorts because you had another fight with Enomoto-san, right?
Kusuda-kun, you were rejected by Enomoto-san?
Sh… shut up! She didn’t reject me or nothing!
Then why are you making this roadtrip?
Yeah! What’s your reason for this trip?
I just want more confidence in myself.
Confidence?
And with that…
And with that?
In my mind, emptied of everything else, the first thing that popped up was…
…the reason why I wanted confidence in myself.
Seriously… I’m sorry.
Goddammit!
Hey, Kusuda-kun!
Wait for us!
I love youuu!
Enomotoooo!
I love youuu! Chikura-saaan!
I love youuu! Saki-neee!
Oooh! Is that true, Kusuda-kun?!
I’m so shocked!
Aren’t you, Kei-chan?
Just now… is it true?
Hey!
Wait!
Koyoi, hold that for me!
Do that for me too, please!
Gawd, why me?!
Gah? Chikura-chan too?!
Wait! Zaitsu-kun!
They’re coming after us!
Keep running! If they catch us, our roadtrip’s finished!
You alright, Sogabe?!
All… all this time… riding my bike… totally bushed… the sand… makes running very-
Sogabe!
Sogabe-kun!
I can’t run any further!
I don’t want to end the trip for you guys!
Jackass! Get up!
Hurry!
Sogabe!
Sorry!
Sogabe-kun, are you alright?
You’re all covered with sand.
Chikura-san.
I…
I love you, Chikura-san.
Sogabe-kun…
I apologize. For forcing that on you.
Um… I…
I know everything.
Even now, you are still in love with Renjou-senpai, right?
Compared to him, I’m the worse when it comes to looks, intelligence.
And I can’t even paint a stick figure.
But, one of these days, I’m going to overtake him, just watch.
You’re wrong, Sogabe-kun.
Huh?
You have other special qualities that Renjou-senpai doesn’t have.
They are what you were trying to look for here, right?
I mean, you may not be Renjou-senpai.
But you are Sogabe-kun after all.
Chikura-san.
I am also going to strive to be better. So let’s do it together, okay?
Sogabe-kun.
Okay.
I wonder if they’re actually here.
Whenever their heads are messed up, or if they’re worried about something,
for some reason people always want to see the sea.
Doesn’t that only apply to hoods?
Did you say something?
Uh… no!
Jeez, Zaitsu-kun!
Why are you running!
That voice!
Ayumi! So you’re here?!
Mamoru!
Wait, Zaitsu-kun! The way you’re running now…
…means you’re still in love with Yamamoto-san?
Ayumi!
There she is!
Ay-
You can’t help but feel that way!
Ayumi?
Even if you run, your love isn’t going to go away.
I’m not running away.
Then… why?
Why run away from home?
I want to pick myself up.
Have you?
Hmm, I wonder.
But, since I yelled everything out, I feel refreshed.
A-Arihara-san…
Thank God… that I get to see you smiling again… that you’re okay.
Thank you. For coming all this way for me.
It’s nothing.
Dammit!
Where the hell are you running to?! Stay put!
Kusuda!
What the hell?
Uwaah! Lemme go!
My legs are longer than yours, so I can easily run and catch you if I try!
Oh… sorry!
You don’t need to apologize. It’s true, isn’t it?
Say, why did you go off on a trip?
I don’t have to answer that.
I have the right to ask, don’t I?
It’s because of my short legs and fugly-ass face.
Huh?
A girl like you ain’t gonna get where I’m coming from for the life of her.
You’re so beautiful, you can get with any good-looking guy you want.
I know a lot of cool things about you!
Whenever the class is in a bad mood, you crack jokes to break the ice.
And you always put your friends above anything else.
You act like a goof-off, but you’re actually a super-dependable guy.
Like when you were cheering with me during the sports festival.
I…
I… also love you, Kusuda-kun.
Don’t lie to me! I know for a fact that said you hate my guts!
That back then was a lie! What I’m saying now is the truth!
That’s bull! This is what I am! I’m shorter than you, my looks-
And what of it? If you’re good on the inside, then looks doesn’t matter!
But you kept harping on how guys only equal their looks.
What the hell? Just now you went into the ocean and screamed out how much you loved me!
Aaugh! Shudduuup!
We’ve just found out our true feelings! Why are you running away!
Big Brother! You came all this way to search for me!
I’m so emotional now!
Mamoru! Thank you for staying alive!
Don’t make me worry like that again.
Huh?
That’s it? Usually he’d give me a crushing bear hug or say stuff that’s completely sick.
Let’s go home.
Yeah.
Hmm-hmm!
Hey look. It’s so beautiful!
It is!
Pretty!
I’m glad we went on this trip.
Me too!
Me three!
It’s just about time for me to move on from my sister.
Arihara…
She said they finally found those guys.
I see.
Thank goodness.
Seriously, why would they try to escape from their reality?
I don’t think it’s just an escape.
Huh?
How to put it… I guess they also wanted to accomplish something. Boy do I understand.
I’d do the exact same thing if I hit hard times.
Dobashi-san?!
If that ever happens to you… I don’t care where you go, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.
D-D-Do-Do…
Dobashi-san…
Huh? To love or be loved?
I heard Zaitsu-kun scream out another girl’s name, not mine, back at the ocean.
I think my feelings may never ever be returned.
But on the other hand, the one who says he loves me is his older brother.
Ayumi…
Boys do not equal their looks.
So what if Zaitsu-kun’s brother is hideous and scary.
If you look past that you’ll see someone who acts with the purest of hearts!
You’ve come a long way, Enomoto.
Hmm?
Doba-chan, what do you think?
Just being told “I love you”…
gives you joy… makes you tingle… and makes you feel awkward.
But it feels so good…
That’s so true! I get it! I get it! The joy, the awkwardness!
Whenever you’re undecided…
…use this!
Zaitsu-kun… his brother…
Zaitsu-kun… his soulless brother…
Zaitsu-kun or his pretend brother…
I’m not really sure about these things…
But say it’s not returned, there still must be some meaning to your love.
Chikura-chan, you’re so grown up.
What to do is not the point, loving a guy is good in itself.
One can attain much with a love that bears no fruit.
Chikura-chan said the same thing.
Chikura-san said something complex…
What about you, Kusuda-kun?
I assume he’s just like me - a guy with nothing to lose at all.
A guy like that has to have a lot of guts to give you that letter.
Say, Sogabe didja get a haircut?
’Sup.
A-Arihara?!
Why are you here?
I wanna know.
Eh?
Everything about you. Thoroughly.
Y-You’re joking!
You don’t even feel a thing for me!
Just hold on!
L-Let me go!
No way.
What’s the meaning of this?
Is it wrong for me to wanna know?
Huh?
Arihara-san?
I’m sorry for being late with my reply.
It’s true, Zaitsu-kun I…
Zaitsu Mamoru-kun, I love you!
Arihara-san… right here and now?
Misao-san, you’re not just a scary guy. I know that now.
However, I still want to go after him a little longer…
…my precious first love.
All of us are in love.
It hasn’t all been smooth sailing.
Mistakes may have been made.
But the love we felt when we first met our sweethearts…
Is certainly the most cherished thing.
And those feelings, one by one…
…will carry us into our futures.
Ayumi-chan, which Zaitsu-kun did you pick?
Not telling!
Guys equal their insides! Their insides!
Coming from you, it sounds like a bad joke.
Are you in love right now?
