Wow! It really feels like Kyoto!
Look! It's the five-storey pagoda! See that?!
Well, duh.
Wow! It's just like the photo!
What'd you expect?
This was rebuilt by Tokugawa Iemitsu-san.
He's a historical figure, so don't call him like you know him very well.
We're on a school trip, but Taka-chan seems more edgy than usual.
Well...
She tends to get even more on edge when she's nervous. She's nervous now because...
This is just like the photo he sent me.
The photo?
What a dork. Just look at that peace sign.
It's the real thing.
Yeah, and you'll see the real Shiwazaki-kun tomorrow.
Ready? Here goes.
Ready!
School Trip!
Suzaku Inn
Welcome, Students From Shiomi Junior High
Here.
Thanks.
It's hot, so cool it before you eat it.
Okay.
What's with that?
I can't stand it.
What a dork.
Why does he need to cool it down?
He's a guy. He should just eat it!
Hot!
If we were in the same class, we could sit together all the time.
Hiroshi-kun and I are in different classes.
We'll be going our separate ways for free time tomorrow.
Yuu-chan! Let's go!
Oh, the baths are huge! I love it!
Me too.
Relics of the Ancient Capital
Nara
I think we should go to the Toudai Temple.
I want to see to the five-storey padoga at Horyuu.
Yo!
Whatcha doin'?
We're planning our trip to Nara.
Where are you guys going tomorrow?
We're gonna stay in Kyoto tomorrow.
Is there something special you want to see?
Oh? Well...
Hey, hey, wanna play cards in our room?
Sure, sounds good. I brought some Hanafuda cards.
Great! Let's go!
I'll see you guys there.
Taka-chan!
Listen. Don't you dare tell Naganuma-kun that I'm going to see Shibazaki-kun tomorrow.
O-Okay.
Later!
In the first place, this Kyoto trip is for our cultural education...
Look who's talking.
They're so noisy.
What's wrong?
Well... It's such a good opportunity for us,
but we're in different classes, so I was worried that we wouldn't be able to spend much time together.
Yeah.
But we're in the same school, so we could come to Kyoto together.
What are you saying?
I'll get you some souvenirs from Nara.
Yeah.
How about some deer crackers?
What? I don't want that.
Then what about deer droppings?
I'd rather have the crackers.
Suzaku Inn
Room for Shiomi Junior High Students
Listen! Dinner is at 6 o'clock, so come back by then.
Behave yourselves, you are students from Shiomi Junior High.
Don't do anything to make us look bad. Got it?
These pickles are great!
That's Kyoto for you!
Aren't you going to have breakfast?
Well... I just don't feel hungry.
Don't you feel well?
No. When I think about seeing Shibazaki-kun, I...
Taka-chan...
What should I say?
"Long time no see."
"How've you been?"
Then what?
Well, um...
Good question.
Tell him what you've been doing, I guess.
That's too stiff.
Oh, geez, I'm screwed!
We were separated soon after we met.
We don't know each other like you know Hiroshi-kun.
We've written a few letters and chatted on the phone, but that's about it.
What if we disappoint each other when we meet up like that after a long time?
Don't be silly! You'll be fine!
I should cheer her up.
I've gotta do something.
We're meeting Shibazaki-kun at one o'clock, right?
Yeah.
Where shall we go until then?
Welcome, Students From Shiomi Junior High School
Wanna head to Nishijin distinct and see the Kitano shrine?
Sounds good.
Is that OK with you, Taka-chan?
Oh? Huh?
Heading out?
Ah, yeah.
Take care, OK?
C'mon! Let's go!
Later!
Oh, I wish Hiroshi-kun could come with us.
Now you'll get into Sakuragaoka High, no problem!
Yeah.
I'll get a good luck charm.
Sure.
We came all the way to Kyoto.
It's too late now!
Let's go!
She made boiled tofu for him last night!
I really wanna see the Sanzenin Temple!
I'd rather go to the Movie Town.
They came all the way out here...
Fine! I'll go by myself!
Fine with me!
They've been together all this time, but they still get into fights.
Should I... give up on meeting Shibazaki-kun?
What?!
Why don't the three of us go sightseeing all day today?
We can't do that!
But...
Shibazaki-kun's looking forward to this.
I agree.
It's already 12:30.
We should go.
What do you want to do, Taka-chan?
I'll go.

Shibazaki-kun should be here by now.
Yeah.
Okay. You ready?
Yeah.
Wait!

Huh?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
C'mon. Let's go.
Yeah.

Maybe I should have put on some lipstick.
Oh, Taka-chan!
Here. Use this!
Thanks.
I-I'm getting nervous too.
Welcome!
Takahata-san!
Shibazaki-kun!
Hi, Kawai-san. Long time no see.
You're as energetic as ever, Shibazaki-kun.
You look well.
Well, duh.
Please, have a seat.
Okay?
Oh, Shibazaki-kun.
This is Kitano-san.
Nice to meet you.
We're in the same class now. She goes to cram school with Taka-chan and me.
Wow! You go to cram school!
I mentioned it in the letter.
Ah, sorry. I guess I forgot.
Welcome! May I take your order?
So, what would you like?
This restaurant has a popular green tea set with Japanese cakes.
I'll try that!
Me too!
What about you, Taka-chan?
I don't like green tea.
Oh, okay.
I'll have black tea, please.
Right away, ma'am.
Oh, Shibazaki-kun, you've grown taller.
Yeah. Just 3 centimeters, though.
Taka-chan grew her hair out.
Didn't you notice that it was a bit shorter before?
Really?
This isn't working. I need to get them fired up.
Oh, um...why don't you talk about what you've been doing lately.
Well, we've got our school trip next week.
Where are you going?
Kyushu, near Nagasaki.
Wow, that sounds great!
We're having a karaoke contest in the evening, and we're all fired up about it.
I'm gonna sing till I drop!
You like karaoke, Shibazaki?
Yeah.
I had no idea.
Anything else?
Well...I was hospitalized with appendicitis the other day.
What?! Why didn't you tell me?
Well, um...I didn't think it was a big deal.
Oh, okay...
Oh...no, I didn't mean to...
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Oh, well, shall we go somewhere after eating this?
There are all sorts of places around here.
Yeah.
Let's do that! OK, Taka-chan?
I feel like their go-between.
Oh dear.
What should I do?
Japanese Sweets
Tea House Temari
Thanks for coming!
Would you like to see Tetsugaku Road?
It's not far from here.
Oh, Shibazaki-yan!
Oh, hi!
What are you doing here?
Well, my friends came to visit.
I thought I'd show them around for a bit.
Really? You're such a lady-killer!
Shibazaki-kun's talking with a Kyoto dialect.
They came here for their school trip.
I see. So, where are you going to take them now?
I thought, maybe around Tetsugaku road...
Mate, that sounds good.
Tetsugaku Road
Somehow, this feels like a good walking track, right, Taka-chan?
Did you know that this was named after the philosopher Nishida Ikutaro walked on the trail.
The cherry blossoms around here are really pretty in April.
Our class came to see them the other day.
Next time, I want to come during the cherry blossom season and see them as well.
Would you like to see anything else, Takahata-san?
You came all the way to Kyoto, so I'll take you anywhere.
Not really.
I know!
Let's take a picture! Okay?
Let's take a picture with just Shibazaki-kun and Taka-chan!
Hey, let's take it here! This'd make a great background!
Let's do it later.
C'mon, Taka-chan!
Smile!
I said we can take it later!
Whoa! No way!
What a coincidence!
Oh? Shibazaki-kun!
It's really him!
What? For real?
Are you going out with Taka-chan?
Awesome!
It's a long distance relationship!
That's so cool!
Well...
We're not-
You did what you had to do!
I envy you!
Like I said, we're not going out!
Oh, well, we'll get something from that shop.
See you later.
Hey, maybe we should leave them alone.
Good idea.
Ow ow ow ow ow!
Yuu-chan!
What's wrong?
I've got a terrible stomachache.
Are you all right?
I guess I ate too much.
Yuu-chan, shouldn't you go back to the inn and rest?
Yeah.
I'll take you back.
Oh, we wouldn't want to impose on you.
But...
I'll take her back. We'll be fine.
Later.

I hope things are going well between them.
That would be ideal.
Long distance relationships must be tough.
Absence made her heart grow fonder, but when she's with him, she don't know what to say.
Taka-chan's stubborn, too.
Yeah.
Kawai-san!
I thought you had a stomachache!
Well, it's all better now.
Where's Taka-chan?
Before I realized it, she was gone.
What!?
Taka-chan!
Yuu-chan.
Thank goodness.
Yuu-chan, weren't you sick?
Well, um...
Mind your own business!
Sorry.
Don't be rude!
They were trying to help us.
What are you saying?
The old Shiwazaki wouldn't say something like that!
You've... changed.
When we were apart, you grew 3 centimeters.
Even though you said you missed Shiomi Junior High...
You're completely used to Kyoto.
You seem to be getting along with your classmates.
They said that dinner starts at 6 o clock.
I see. I should be going.
Yeah.
Thank you very much for today.
Goodbye.
Taka-chan, are you OK with this? You finally got to see him.
Are you OK with things as they are?
I always thought it was tough for you because you were so far apart,
but I thought it was great that you two treasured the time you had when you were apart.
Very few people have the opportunity to go on a date during the school trip.
So...
Taka-chan!
Shibazaki!
There's something I want to see!
I want to see your junior high!
I want to see your school!
Kyokasho no sumikko ni Keshiwasureta rakugaki
The graffiti you forgot to erase in the corner of your textbook.
Gomen ne. Sono hito koto ga ienaikute
Sorry, I say that word.
Afureru omoi. Tsutaerarenakute
Flowing feelings. You can't say that word.
Naiteshimatta no hi wa wasurenai kara
I'll never forget the time when I cried.
Namida ga yuuki ni kawaru toki
The time when tears become a sign of courage
Mizu iro no sora mo kawatte iku
the aqua-colored sky also will change.
Tooku hanarete itemo. Kimi wo suki to
Even if we are far away, I will love you.
Sunao ni nareru
I will be honest with myself.
Namida ga yuuki ni kawaru toki
The time when tears become a sign of courage.
Samishii omoi ga kiete iku
The sad feelings will disappear.
Atarashii kaze ga fuku yo
A new breeze will blow,
Kokoro no dokoka de
somewhere in your heart.
Namida ga yuuki ni kawaru toki
The time when tears become a sign of courage
Setsunai omoi ga kiete iku
The feelings I have withheld have faded.
Choppiri otona ni nareta
I could become a bit like an adult.
Sonna ki ga suru yo.
That's how I feel.
Taka-chan.
For Taka-chan, this picture will be more precious than any other picture we took during this trip.
Shibazaki.
We'll meet again, right?
Of course we will.
You broke your curfew!
Where were you!?
Uh...
Well...
We found a great place where tourists don't go!
