Kotoko, look at that girl.
Wh-who is that beauty?
Obviously, she's targeting for Irie.Kotoko, you're in big trouble, now.
Kin-chan? - I work at the restaurant at night.
During lunch, I'm working here at this cafeteria.And also, I have to protect Kotoko from that evil guy.
You should go join the same club with Irie. Then you can be with him,
even if you're not in the same department as him.
I've heard that you're living in the same house with him.
But why don't you know anything about him?
Let's return back to our own way of living.Just the two of us.
My father said he found a nice place for us to live.
So, you going to move out?
If we do... would you miss us?
It looks like I can finally go back to live in my old way.
I disagree!
I don't want Kotoko-chan to leave!
My darling, calm down.
But, Honey...
Thank you, Mrs. Irie.But I've decided already.
Ai-chan,
you don't have to feel any guilt.We really want you to stay.
You even pay us your living every month.
We understand your kindness and have stayed for too long now.
I'm doing this for Kotoko, so she'll be able to give up on Naoki.
No way.
I will try to convince Naoki...But Mrs. Irie.
This is the matter between them.
It's not that I easily accept any girl
who comes to our house.
I really love Kotoko-chan's cheerfulness...
her spirit...
and also her,
charming ways.
Kotoko will be very happy to hear you talk about her,
that way.
I'm sorry.

Big Brother.Kotoko is going to move out!
Yes!
She caused us a lot of troubles.
Now she won't spread her germ anymore.
I'm so happy!That stupid Kotoko's going to leave!
Ta-da! What do you think?
I've always wanted to have a girl.
I've always wished to have this type room for my girl.
It's been almost a year since we live with the Irie family.
Finally my father and I,
decided to leave Irie's house.
Bye bye.
We'll see you soon, Kotoko-chan.
You always treated me as If I'm your own daughter, Mr. Irie...
Mama..
and Mrs. Irie.- Papa.
And today,
I said good-bye to Irie-kun.
Everything will end now.
Kotoko, let's go.
That's it.
I'm joking.
The previous resident,
just moved out to their new house.
So we going to wait for a bit to move in.
This is going to be our short-term apartment.
So why didn't we stay with the Irie's until that family completely moved out?
You can't go through with it like that.
If we stayed any longer, it would be harder to leave.
So It's better to move out earlier.
Just only for a bit over one week.
A house without Irie-kun.
Starting today, my life will begin without Irie-kun.

You moved out from Irie's house!?
Yes.
It's a short-term house until we can move to the new house.
I would thought you will stay in that house forever.
Me too.
But since you moved out, you're going to lose the connection between you and Irie.
Jinko, zip your lip!
I'm fine with losing it.
I...
already gave up on Irie-kun.
No way!!
You never give up even if he's being cold to you.- I told you to zip it!
Now, I'm not my old self that I was anymore.
I'm not going to go after Irie-kun anymore.
I won't go to that science engineering department campus too.
What in the world has happened to you?
What my dad said was right,
that I still haven't realized it yet.
But I've seen you two for a long time now...
Naoki seems to have no feeling for you.
So I guess this plan won't work.
He made me reconsider a lot of things.
Kotoko.
So starting from now, I'm going to forget about everything about Irie-kun.
I will enjoy my new school life and...
find a nice boyfriend.
Well, here you go.[Happy Birthday, Kotoko]
What's this?
- Kin-chan you only make it for Kotoko? It's not fair.- She's right.
This is Kin-chan's special dish.
Kotoko is now reborn.
So speaking of it, today is...
Kotoko's new birthday.
Birthday!?
Yeah.
Okay!
Happy birthday to you!
Thank you, Kin-chan.
I will help you forget everything about Irie.
Cheer up, okay?
Happy birthday, Kotoko
It has already came out.
I'm home.
Let's mix it. Then place it into the eggs! and boom!
And then put it into the bread crumb. And Wham!
Hey? What happened?
Where is Mom?
Well, she's kind of depressed.
She said that she has no appetite and doesn't want to do anything.
She is stressed out. So I thought we should do our share of the household chores.
Our share . . .
I haven't seen her acting like that for a long time.
Okay, let's move on, Yuki.
I'm home.
Welcome home!
I've been making your favorite dish, lasagna!
Oh, it's that stupid Kotoko!
Hey, Yuki! Kotoko-chan, how was your school?
Cheers!
Let's have dinner.Have a seat!
Welcome home.
No.
I already decided...
to forget everything about Irie-kun.
And I won't think of going back to the Irie's house.
Hey, Big Brother...What's wrong with mom?
I hope that she's not become like that because that Stupid Kotoko left!
Yuki, don't you have your own room?
Since you have it back, now you shouldn't stay here every time.
I know that, but it's already my habit
to come to your room every night.
Good night, then.
By the way...
If you already gave up on Irie,
don't go there anymore.
I just feel like it.
Alright!Ace!
- Ninety-five.- Ninety-five.
- Ninety-six.Ninety-six!
- Ninety-seven.- Ninety-seven.
Ninety-eight.
Ninety-nine.
What? Keep push.
One hundred.
You guys did well!
Among those members who quit...
you still try hard for this training.
I'm so proud of you all.
I'll reward you guys.
Finally, I'm going to allow . . .
you to be on the court today.
Really? Do you mean it?
Yes.
Yes!
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go, let's go.
Let's go, let's go!
Being what? 'On the court?'I'm just here to collect the balls.
Who was that?
So you still haven't give up yet.
If I were you,I wouldn't be able to bear it until now.
Muscle training and collecting balls everyday.
Irie-kun's not even coming today.
I didn't do this for Irie-kun.
Really?
Why am I here to collect these balls?
Excuse me, you're stepping on a ball.
If you are a tennis player...
Are you still here to collect balls?
Irie-kun. What are you doing here?
Because I'm in this tennis club.
But you never come to practice.
Am I not allowed to practice or something?
Irie-kun? Come over here! Let's practice together.
Okay, end of practicing now.
Next, work on your volley and stroke.
Yes.Let's get to work.
Wake up!!
I already decided that I'm going to forgetabout him.
He still has no idea about my feeling.
I'm trying so hard to forget about you.
Oh, Irie!
Now that you came to practice.
Did you come here to...
compete with me?
Is that right?
It's fine with me.
But I don't want you to be embarrass again.
Are you sure about that?We don't have to do it.
If you could offer to say it that way...
Could you accept any conditions that I give you and compete with me?
Sure, I can.
Well, then we will have to play doubles.
I will be paired with Matsumoto Yuko.And you...
will be paired with Aihara Kotoko.
What? Me?
Stop joking around.
Sudo must have got no pride.
Does he have to go that far to beat Irie?
What is your complaint?Matsumoto is a freshman.
Aihara is also a freshman.It's a fair combinations.
What's is being 'fair' about this?
This have already show the unfair.
If you could win in doubles with that kind of person, you will win the world champion.
Irie-kun, you don't have to gothat far.
He's right.
You said you would accept any conditions that I give up.
Matsumoto,
Aihara,
Get on the court.
I feel bad for you. I never lose on the games.
Sorry about that.
It's impossible, right?
It can't be, It's impossible.
What do you think about this, Irie?
Are you going to start the game?Or are you going to run away?
As a man, that will be so pitiful.Isn't it, Yuko?
You don't need to hit the ball.
What?
Are we going to do this?
There is no choice.We can't go back now.
Anyway, all you have to do is stand still.
But don't ever get in my way, you got it?
'Don't ever get in my way.'
For some reason
ever since high school
I feel I'm being told what to do by Irie-kun.
Service break!
15 - love!
Game!
owie . . .
ow . . .
Don't get in the way . . . don't get in the waydon't get in the way . . .
Let's move with purpose!
Don't get in the way . . .
Look out!!-Yeow!!
Here it comes!
TAKE THIS!
Step aside, I'll get it!
Oh?!
Huh??
Game over. The winner couple is...
Sudo, Matsumoto.
Game standing, 6-2.
Too bad, too bad, Irie!
However, you guys make a good team, huh!What say you?
Shall we have another go here next week?
Sure thing.
Wha~at?! Once more??
Are you giving up?
This old fart doesn't want to risk getting embarrassed.
Okay!
Alright, next week at the same time, we'll have a similar match. YEAH!
Oh, that's right . . . AIHARA - - -
Understood, understood.
No way!!
Wha~at?! You played doubles with Irie?!
Ah, yeah . . .
You don't even know how to practice tennis and yet . . .
Are you alright, Kotoko??
You even made a vow to forget Irie!!
How can you possibly forget him when you're going to see his face every day?!
Absurd! Unthinkable! Hopeless!!
Honestly?
I haven't any confidence.
Of course. You two have kissed.
But, it is great chance for you.
By doing something together, Irie might have a change of heart.
I don't think so.
There is no way that I can win against those people.
Not only that...
Irie-kun and I have done many things together.
He helped me with studying for the finals in high school.
And homework during the summer vacation.
But Irie-kun's feelings have never changed.
Right.
Irie has always been a heartless guy.
It look
like's it's going to be pretty tough week. Kotoko.
But, I can't run away from Irie-kun the rest of my life.
I will try my best to play tennis
and I'll prove that I can forget about Irie-kun.
Right!
Good job, guys!
Come on!
Let's go, let's go!
You're late.
I'm sorry.The class was extended and...
I don't need to hear excuses.
Let's start training.
Wait a minute, Irie!
Aihara never passed the performance test, then
I can't allow her to practice playing tennis. She has to collect balls.
But we only have one week.
The rules are the rules.
Aihara, why are you standing doing nothing?
- Please collect the balls!- Yes.
Sudo-senpai is acting so immature.
He doesn't want
to lose the match against Irie.
I'm sorry, Irie-kun.
Let's go!
six, seven, eight...
Wow, nine...
What are you doing?
Don't close your eyes.
Don't look at the ground when you pick up the balls.
Open your eyes and look at the balls.
Move your body toward where the ball is coming from.
Understood?
Yes.
Open my eyes.
Look at the balls.
Open my eyes.
Look at the balls.
Do your best!!
YEAH!!
Good work!
Hurry and clean up.
You are going to training now.
I'm exhausted.
Like you said, I was looking at the balls and got hit by them many times.
We don't have a choice since you can't train during the club hours.
Now swing your racket one hundred times.
It's raining.
Keep in mind that we will practice in the morning
starting tomorrow.
It's raining.
Faster.
Bring your shoulder forward.
Return to the position quickly.
It's a rainy season.
Rain is not stopping!
Shut Up!
Don't talk!
Okay. Once more.
I'm home.
Hey Kotoko.
We've received fresh Rockfish, today.
I made stewed fish that you like.
Would you like some?
Huh?
Subtitles brought to you by Mischievous Kisser Team @Viki
You've gained a little weight lately.You should go on the diet.
Eat some low fat food.
Low fat, huh?
Kin-chan.
What happened to Kotoko today?
You don't know yet, Kin-chan?
Kotoko is going through difficult times.
What? Difficult times?
Good morning.
Kin-chan.
I heard.
You've been training tennis in the morning and at night.
At times like this,
you have to eat.
Otherwise you will not have energy.
Thank you.
Here.
Thank you for the food. (Itadakimasu)
I'll have this.
It tastes good.
Doesn't it?
Subtitles brought to you by Mischievous Kisser Team @Viki
Hey!
The reason why you're working so hard to be good at tennis is,
because you want to be close to Irie?
You...
cannot forget that guy, can you?
He told me not to get in his way.
Kin-chan, you told me once,
about my new birthday.
In order to become new person,
I have to be independent and not to bother Irie-kun.
I'll be bluffing,
if I say I can forget Irie-kun, right now.
Well, who knows if I'll be able to forget or not, huh.
OK.
You're on journey to get over Irie.
It might take some time to forget him,
however, you have my support.
Kin-chan.
On the other hand,
I'm not giving you up.
You know, I'm persistent.
Prepare yourself.
Thank you, Kin-chan.
Why don't you have some?
Here we go.
Again!
Watch your form.
Here.
Keep your eyes on the balls.
That's good. Once more.
Here.
Lights out.
Well, we have no choice,
let's practice your swing.
Imagine, this is a ball. And press forward.
That's good! Keep that image in your head.
Lift your elbow up.
One.-One.
Two- Two!
Hey, You have to pretend there is a ball there.
OK. I'm sorry!
Throw the ball higher.
Alright, go!
Swing your racket faster.
Again.
Run!- OK!
Run! - Yes.
Ready?- Yes.
You're too slow!
When you go back to the spot, you need to use the side step.
Yes!
Ready?
Go back!
Run!
Ah!
Watch the ball!
Run!
Side step back to the center.
Get up!
Get ready!
Okay.
Too slow!
Excuse me...
Oh...
Excuse me!
Do you know which way to the facility for literature department?
Literature Department is that way.
Thank you!
Mrs. Irie!!
Ma'am!!
Mrs. Irie!!
Oh my! Junko-chan, Satomi-chan.
I haven't seen you two in a while.
Why are you dressed like that?
That's because I don't want Naoki to find out I'm here.
So, I've disguised myself.
I think you're attracting more attention.
We recognized you right away.
Kotoko and you're pretty similar in that sense.
Kotoko-chan.
I haven't seen her for awhile,
So, I missed her so much.
We thought that Kotoko and Irie-kun
might get along well.
I mean, they've kissed once.-Hey, zip your lip! Zip it!!
Kiss?
You mean, KISS?
Yes. It's KISS.
They've kissed? Really?
YAHOOOOOOOOOO!
Wait, Mrs. Irie! Didn't you come to see Kotoko?
She's at Tennis court.
Never mind that!
I don't need to see her at school.
Because I've decided to bring Kotoko-chan back to my house.
What?!
She's trying so hard...
to forget Irie-kun.
There's no reason for her to forget Naoki.
Because, they've kissed already!
I don't care what Naoki says.
I'll definitely bring Kotoko back.
One,
Two,
Again.
Life your shoulder up. Toss one once more.
One,
You've crossed the line. Try again.
One,
Two,
Where are you aiming?Once more.
One, two . . .
Keep your eyes on the ball.
One, Two,
It's in! Yes, I did it!
The ball was in. Irie-kun. I did it.
I was able to do it for the first time.
Yeah!!!
I am sorry!
You know, even little kid'll be able to serve within a day.
I know, right?
Must be great that your life is full of 'try one more time'.
Huh??
Sometimes I'm just envious.
Once more.
Yes.
I'm leaving, Dad.
Okay, have a good day!!
Oh! Kotoko!! Wait a moment!-Ok, ok!
Yes?-Um . . .
Ah,
today, we're moving into the new house.
Oh, yeah, we were, weren't we.
Don't make a mistake and come here. It's the new house, get it?
Don't worry! Besides, didn't we go to see it together?-Yep.
Okay, I'm off!
OK, be safe.
Wonder if it'll really be okay?
Heave ho . . . something like that.
Kin-chan.
Hey! Kotoko . . .
are you alright?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Kotoko, you've really tried your best till today, haven't you?
You have Tennis match
after school, right?
Yup.
I made these to wish you'd win.
Katsu-sandwich. (Katsu=Breaded fried chicken or pork, also means "win")
Katsu-sandwich!
Kin-chan. Thank you so much!
How can you be so relaxed?
Even eating katsu sandwiches?
This is for good luck.
If those superstitions actually worked,no one would lose the game.
Hey,
do you know how much troubleyou are causing Irie-kun?
I'm putting in all my effort toavoid giving him troubles.
And the effort you are putting inis already a trouble.
In the last game andtoday's game...
Irie-kun is the one whogets humiliated.
And he is wasting his timebecause of your training.
You are giving the manyou love so much trouble...
How can you not feel bad about it?
Smooth.
We'll serve!!
Listen. Don't let a whole week ofyour effort go to waste.
Make sure to open your eyes andfollow the direction of the ball.
Got it?
Yes.
You are not alone.
I'm with you.So don't be scared.
Sudo, Matsumoto team. Serve.
Damn, she is hitting every single ball.Even my super fast balls . . . that beginner!
But she can't hit it back to this side.
They will succumb to us for sure.
This is a matter of my pride.
Forget about Irie. It's Aihara.
Just focus on Aihara.
Yes.
Open your eyes.Look at the ball.
Move your body toward wherethe ball is coming from.
I'm not scared of lookingat the ball anymore.
Plus compared to Irie-kun's serves...
Sudo-san's and Matsumoto-san'sare much slower.
That's why...
Alright, Aihara...
Take this.
- Kotoko.- Yes!
I can see it.
That serve was in!
Wasn't that Matsumoto's error?
Aihara, that was terrific!
You did it.
It got away.
It's the first . . . the first ball to get away.
It's the first since I came our from my mother's womb.
Ouch!
OUCH!!
Did you sprain your foot?
Hoo boy, you're really hopeless.
Is it here?-YEOUCH!!
This is bad, alright.
Sudo-san, our side will default.
Wha - wha - what?!
You're okay with defaulting??
Please take my racket.
Um, I'm sorry that it was my fault that we lost.
I'm not so low as to think like that.
Oh?!
If I would say 'I like you' more and more
would you get angry?
Are we still not at your house?
Hm, that's odd.
When we came to look it over, it was close to the train station.
Probably, it was just a little bit farther.
You said that before, too!
That's why I suggested we should take a taxi.
But that's wasteful.
Either way something would come of it.
You're right.
You know what, Irie-kun?
At the time of the tennis challenge when I hit Sudo-san's serve . . .
you called out my name, didn't you?
I wonder . . .
Your calling it out was a first, right?
I really don't remember it.
I was so engrossed with the game.
Oh! There it is!!
My new home!!
It's my home.
I'll leave you in your father's care.
Hey, wait a second!
Um, I think Dad is still at home,
would you want to have a cup of tea?
Look, Dad
would be very happy to see you I think.
- And I would like to...- Understood, I understood already.
So let me go.
Sorry.
Yes.
Oh, Dad!
Your grandpa?
I don't know him.
Uhm, who are you?
That's rude.
And who are you?
I am from this house.
This is my house.
That can't be.
But I think I'm correct here.
I was here once.
Anyways, this is my residence.
Huh?
What?
What are you saying?
You already kissed.
Kissed?!
Please date the older brother.
That's your mission.
You are going to secretly monitor Irie's date?!
We should start working together, and help each other out. What do you think?
Handsome!
I don't want Kotoko to see
a disgusting thing!
Wouldn't we make a really good couple?
Probably.
You don't hate me?
It's my weak point, but I don't hate you.
