In fourth grade, I couldn't even swim 25 meters in swim class.
I ran away to a neighboring town with my swimming trunks still on.
I always run away when I don't know what to do.
In other words, it's like I have escapism.
You're the type I hate most!
I'm sorry.
I never knew you hated me that much...
No... Just now, that was...
I'm really sorry.
And so, I ran away again.
Saki-nee...
Chikura-san...
Kusuda-kun.
Why are you copying us?
Let me join in.
I'm such a useless guy.
You're not useless.
I'm the useless one who still can't recover from the impact.
Me too. Even though I know I have no good points, I can't change myself.
I'm even more... How should I put this?
I'm even more...
I want to go to a faraway place.
But I guess that's impossible.
That's it!
A journey, Kusuda!
We'll go on a life-changing journey!
Let's go.
All right, let's go!
"We"?
We'll go soul searching to the ends of the Earth!
Let's go right now, Sogabe!
Wait! We still need to make all sorts of preparations.
Umm... Hey...
Let's depart tomorrow morning.
By "we"...
Way before our parents wake up!
Yeah!
Anyway, let's prepare the absolute necessities first...
Wait, listen to me-
Like food...
Wait! Does this mean I'm part of this?
Of course.
Zaitsu, if we don't go on a journey right now,
we might never be able to recover.
But what about the train and hotel money?
Are you stupid? We'll go by bike!
We'll camp at night!
Other necessities...
Oh, we need to bring some toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Two changes of underwear should be enough.
Why?
We'll wash them in the parks.
What about showers?
Huh?
Showers are necessary?
Of course!
Smash!
kokoro sawagu mezametai to
My heart cries to be awakened

Let's go to an unexpected tomorrow

Let's go, now's not the time to hesitate
Start!

On the world map I drew

Don't erase them

Keep our feelings hot with excitement
We'll meet tomorrow at 05:30 at the Yonchoume Highway crossing.
Zaitsu, you don't have to come if you don't want to.
But we're going.
In order to change ourselves!
See ya!
If you're coming, remember to lock the door.
On that night, I gave it some deep thought.
...so please don't search for me.
I called it a soul-searching journey...
But what is it exactly that I want to do?
Sogabe wants to change himself.
Zaitsu wants to recover from heartbreak.
But I...
I'm really sorry.
I just want to run away from her.
What I want is confidence.
What time is it now, Kusuda?
Uh... 5:42.
I guess Zaitsu isn't coming, after all.
Well, we should wait a little-
Sorry for being late!
I couldn't find my house keys.
Don't tell me you were going to leave me behind.
As if!
Then let's go!
So, where should we go?
You didn't think about that, Sogabe-kun?!
No one told me to pick a place!
Hey, let's go there.
East...
The direction where each day is born?
Yeah.
Sounds good.
Yeah.
All right, that's set!
Then let's have a race toward the rising sun!
It's dangerous to ride that fast! Wait for me!
Watanabe.
Here.
Watanuki.
Here.
Uwatari.
Here.
So Kusuda, Zaitsu, and Sogabe are absent today?
It's about time we take a rest.
The juice is great!
We've covered a lot of distance.
Yeah.
Aren't you guys hungry?
I left without eating breakfast.
True, I'm a bit hungry too.
Sogabe, weren't you in charge of the food?
Let me see... Here.
Anyway, let's have two each first.
Food? These are more like snacks!
But this is really good.
Not to mention they're extra-large size.
That's not all you brought, right?!
I mean, you have two backpacks with you!
That's my pillow. It's been with me for ten years.
Well, I'm a delicate person, so I can only fall asleep with my own pillow.
Pillows are more important than food in Sogabe's point of view.
Well, there's nothing we can do now.
Meeting! I'm calling an emergency meeting!
What?
Hey, how much cash did you guys bring?
I brought 300 yen.
I wonder what happened to Zaitsu-kun...
Did he catch a cold?
I wonder if he's moaning in pain right now...
It's rare to see three people absent at once.
They might have gone out to have fun.
Is that what they called cutting class?
That can't be possible.
Zaitsu-kun has been feeling down because of Yamamoto-san.
I doubt he'd cut class to go out and have fun.
You're the type I hate most!
What do you think, Kei-chan?
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
We were discussing if we should go and visit Zaitsu-kun.
Sure...
We only have 2000 yen between the three of us.
There are only 24 snacks left.
This isn't enough to survive for three days...
God, I don't want to believe this!
Sorry, man.
Don't be so upset.
It's fine.
This makes it more fun.
Yeah, right!
You guys didn't even plan this far ahead... Oh my god... My head is starting to hurt...
Seems like journeys reveal a person's true nature.
Who the heck came up with this? God!
Quit whining. Let's go!
Hey, wait up, Kusuda!
You'll be hungry again if you go so fast!
Making a house visit kinda makes me excited!
I hope Zaitsu-kun is all right.
Kei-chan, I think we should go to Kusuda's house too after all.
It's fine.
Visiting Zaitsu-kun is enough.
Oh, please, I know you're concerned.
It's not like I could do anything if I went.
Did something happen?
Not really.
Aren't we there yet?
We're almost there.
Look-
Beast-kun.
Mamoru is... Mamoru is!
What happened to Zaitsu-kun?
This...
To everyone who's worried about me:
I'm a useless piece of scum who's always feeling down.
Because of that, I keep hating myself more and more.
So that's why I'm on a journey.
Please don't look for me.
Zaitsu Mamoru.
This!
This looks like a run-away letter, but don't tell me...
It's a will?
No! Don't leave me!
Ayumi-chan!
Wait, something's written below.
Sogabe-kun and Kusuda-kun are not involved with my decision.
So please don't blame them.
Does that mean that they went together?
I'm 99.9% sure that's what it is.
Let me try calling Kusuda.
You're the type I hate most!
What's wrong, Enomoto?
Enomoto?
Let me use it, Kei-chan!
I think we went the wrong way...
There wasn't any other choice!
If we kept going the other way, we'd be on the highway!
Where the hell are we?
Give me a second, I'm checking the map.
Speaking of which, which way is east?!
Hello.
Hello, Kusuda-kun?
Yeah, who are you?
Oh yeah, that side!
Hey, did someone bring a compass?
It's me, me! Where are you guys right now?
Hey, is Zaitsu-kun with you?
It's loud!
What the hell is this?
This is a message from the section of Commerce, Industry, and Sightseeing:
The boar race is going to take place in Inoshishi Fureai Hall located next to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Boar stew will be served there, too.
Please bring your friends and family, and have fun at the event.
Hello? Are you listening, Kusuda-kun?
Got it! You're Arihara, right?
You idiot, why are you answering the call?!
Aren't you running away right now?!
He's right!
Hurry up and hang up, Kusuda-kun!
Zaitsu-kun! Zaitsu-kun!
They hung up...
Guys, we should turn off our phones.
Yeah.
Oh no, it won't go through...
It seems like they turned off their phones.
What was that thing earlier?
Something like a street broadcast?
So they're in a rural area?
Oh, could it be...
Do you know where they are, Chikura-chan?
I think I've heard that broadcast before on a trip with my family.
If I remember correctly, it's a town near the Kurakuu hot springs.
So they're over there?
Why did Mamoru go all the way there?
Kei-chan.
Let's go find them.
Hey, Kei-chan, let's bring them back.
I...
...don't think I can go.
Why?
Aren't you worried about Kusuda-kun?
Are you just going to leave him alone, Kei-chan?!
Kusuda hates me...
What are you talking about?
Don't you get along with him?
Kusuda said he hates me!
Isn't it a bother to have someone you hate go after you?
So I can't go...
Even if you're hated...
Even if you're hated, you still have something you want to tell him, right?
Do you really think it's a good choice to be hesitant like that and not tell him how you feel?
Even if you know how it'll turn out, it's still better than never telling him about it.
Even if I'm hated, the things I want to tell him...
That's right.
I still haven't told him about my feelings yet.
First, let's confirm the route to the Kurakuu hot springs and find trains that go there.
Now the question is how they're traveling.
That reminds me, Mamoru's bike was gone this morning!
They'll probably be resting at night.
If we can predict their route and get there faster than them,
that'll be enough to catch up.
Let's go home and make preparations now.
We'll meet at the train station in an hour.
We'll find those idiots!
Doba-chan, you're coming too, right?
Sorry, I'll pass...
Four-eyes?
I don't want him to worry.
All right.
Enomoto, good luck.
Beast-kun, thanks!
Beast-kun?
I'll make preparations, too.
Wild boar stew...
Just give up, there's none left.
I just asked around.
East is that way.
What's wrong? Why are you two so quiet?
What about the wild boar stew?
Sold out.
We came all the way here for the wild boar stew...
Kei-chan!
Ayumi!
You're surprisingly quick!
Well, I felt really uneasy.
Me too!
Ayumi-chan's pretty cute, isn't she?
Let's take Ayumi-chan with us next time.
Sure...
What's up?
There are other guys who want to go out with you, so go out with them.
I can't. You're the only one who gives me that feeling.
Sorry.
Huh? Mamoru ran away?
Over here!
I found a 10 yen coin!
Since you have something important to do, I'm going home.
Don't worry, I don't have to go.
Arihara, there you are!
What is it?
Have you seen my sister?
Koyoi left this note and ran away.
"I'm together with Ayumi-chan, so don't worry about me."
Ayumi is gone too?
That idiot!
There's no way we can't be worried!
Where did they go?!
Wait!
Seems like Arihara's not interested in me.
Why has it been uphill the whole time?!
Shut up! It's not like we can do anything if we can't find a spot to sleep!
Kusuda-kun, you're wasting energy by screaming like that.
Damn it...
We'll die of hunger before we can change ourselves!
Goddammit!
I told you, don't scream.
I wonder if they're at a hot spring right now.
By the way, why did you come, Koyoi-chan?
Obviously because it seemed fun!
So, where exactly were they trying to go?
Why are there wild boars?
Kusuda!
Pedal! Pedal faster!
Kusuda!
Kei-chan, stop! It's dangerous!
Wild boars are chasing them!
Kusuda!
Stop! Stop the train!
Kusuda!

My first love began after falling for Zaitsu-kun.
But it's about time I gave them a reply...
Between Zaitsu-kun and Beast-kun, the one I pick is...
