[Aozora Gakuin University] [Training Room 2]
My reason for climbing?
Right. What drives you to aim for the top.
Right. [Two Years Ago]
We joined the club because it looked like fun. [Two Years Ago]
But our hands hurt,
so we were wondering what motivates you.
So quitting isn't an option?
We want to treasure the opportunity, we don't want to quit because it's too hard.
- Right? - That's true.
Shindo, what's your reason for climbing? Please tell us.
For me...
I want to see... The starry sky, probably.
The starry sky?
It's not something to laugh at!
No, the starry sky part is...
We are in a building. You won't see it here.
It's okay. Just imagine it.
I didn't think Shindo is a romantic man.
I knew I would regret telling you that.
But...
I've also wanted to look at the sky from a high place.
We are somewhat alike.
Yes.
I'm happy seeing her smile.
I want to make her smile more because she has a cute smile.
At that time, I already...
had fallen in love with her.

♫ A gentle breeze blows through after a long time ♫
♫ Opening the album hidden deep in my heart with you ♫
♫ Still nostalgic and imprinted on my mind... your smile ♫
♫ When the two shadows overlap, the time stopped ♫
♫ Please stay in my life ♫
♫ I won't forget the day I met you ♫
♫ I want to embrace the present and the past as we continue walking ♫
♫ Even time after time, ♫
♫ I know it won't fade away ♫
♫ Finally found you, my beautiful blue star ♫
♫ Let me stay in your heart ♫

♫ Let me stay in your heart ♫
♫ You are my blue star ♫ [Hoping to Give You a Big Hug Tonight]
Your project has been accepted?
Ah, yes. [Episode 5]
That's amazing. [Episode 5]
- Congratulations, Arata. - Oh, thank you.
What kind of project is it?
I want to rebuilt the town to make it look like a town from animation.
- Rebuilt? - Yes.
I'll invite an animation creator to design the whole town,
we rebuilt the town according to its design,
so the town would be shown in a scene of animation.
It sounds like a large-scale project.
Right? By the time the animation will be aired,
the town exists in real life just like popping out of the screen.
It's a theme park where people can actually live.
I have to rely on the CEO to handle the budget and difficult tasks.
- Arata, that's a great idea. I love it. - You think so?
Yes. You did well considering your ability.
Me. I want to help you with the project.
You?
I want to support you who are working hard.
Oh, thanks. I'm counting on you, Saeki.
Let's make this project successful.
Yeah!
- Yeah. - Yeah.
At first, I'll take photos of areas that could be a potential candidate.
- Why don't ask Shu to help you? - Eh?
Since he's a professional photographer,
his pictures would be more convincing.
I agree. What a great idea.
Shu's photos would be more refined for sure.
Let's say, he sees a beauty that ordinary people wouldn't.
When I saw him during the photo session at the studio,
I reaffirm that he is an amazing photographer.
Shu sees the things that we can't see.
I think Shuji is busy.
It's fine. We have nothing to lose, so let's ask him.
Okay. I'll give him a call now.
What's up?
Sorry to call you so late. It's Shindo.
No problem.
I was wondering if you can take photos of my new project.
Oh, I see.
My schedule is tight with work lately.
Is it? I thought you're busy.
After talking to Saeki, we decided to ask you anyway.
Okay. I'll do it.
What? You don't have to if you're busy.
Since it's your request, I'll manage the time somehow.
Thank you so much.
He agreed to help us.
Yay!
- Great, isn't it? - Good for you.
Cheers. Yay!
We'll definitely make the project succeed.
- I'm so happy. - Me too.
Let's eat. What should I eat first?
Is this correct?
- I insert this right here. - Yes, that's correct.
Saeki, after finishing this document,
we can start working on my project tomorrow.
That's great.
What's wrong?
I deleted all.
What?
I deleted everything.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about the past. We can start over again.
Arata, I think I'm dragging you down.
That's not true. You're a great help.
Arata.
I won't cry anymore.
I'll do my best to support you.
I don't want you to think of me as an unreliable friend.
Okay. What do I do now?
- Where do I start? - From the begging.
I haven't finished my work yet. I might have to work all night.
What?
I'll be home with a first train.
Good luck. Are you working alone?
Are you okay?
I'm okay because I'm with Arata.
That's why I'm worried.
Saeki?
Am I just a friend?
Yoshino, are you still awake?
Welcome back.
I had to finish my report.
So you were walking till now?
I was.
Arata was kind enough to take me home.
So I suggested having breakfast together.
Is Arata here?
It's troublesome. I haven't prepared anything.
It's fine, he went home already.
So don't worry.
Riko, you're ignorant.
What do you mean?
How could you do such a thing?
Why are you upset?
I'm not upset.
I just get irritated sometimes.
Yoshino...
I'm sorry. I spoke too harshly.
It's alright.
Arata...
Damn it.
Yoshino.
Were you watching me?
I was.
So embarrassing.
That's not true.
I think every girl would fall for you when absorbed in climbing.
But you don't mean that.
I do mean it.
It's meaningless to climb if I fall in the end.
Did something happen between you and Riko?
Huh?
Why do you ask?
You like her, don't you?
What? How... Since when have you known?
You're easy to read.
Seriously?
I've known that for a long time.
It's my first time loving someone so deeply.
What?
It doesn't mean that I didn't love my ex-girlfriends.
She is right in front of me but seems unreachable.
Not only that, her first love showed up suddenly.
So I'm scared.
Arata.
I know I should confess her to end the torture.
But I hate to ruin the friendship with her.
If you don't take an action, it won't change anything.
Because she doesn't know how you feel.
Sometimes, I wish there was a color indicator to let people know our feelings.
Arata, you look great when you climbing up earnestly.
Even if you fall, you can start climbing again.
We may not able to see it,
but the more you climb, the more colors you're able to see.
You called me a romantic guy.
But you're not too bad yourself.
I'm considerate enough to go down to your level.
I think you're cool when you smile.
Trust me on this. You know I'm right.
Yoshino, thanks.
Your toughness saved me on many occasions.
I'm glad to have a good friend like you.
Okay. I'll give it a try.
For the best I can.
Good.
Are you Shuji Ichihara?
Oh, yes. Who are you?
I'm a friend of Riko Saeki.
Ah... hi.
Let me ask you frankly.
Shuji, what do you think of Riko?
She told me in high school, you're her first love.
And she couldn't forget you.
After reuniting with you, she couldn't stop talking about you.
That's how much she loves you.
I'm sorry, but I just wanted you to know your feelings.
I'm sorry to barge in sudden.
Shuji, what do you think of this?
Try from a different angle. For example, capturing an overhead view.
Good point.
Here, I brought you guys a snack.
Thanks.
I found a perfect snack.
Here.
Taiyaki? (fish shaped waffle with fillings)
This is yours, Shu.
Thanks.
Sure.
You've always liked eating Taiyaki, haven't you?
Yup.
What's this?
Hmm? It's a custard cream. Super delicious.
A red bean filling is a standard for Taiyaki.
Lately, you're into the custard filling, aren't you?
I am.
A custard filling is a standard for Taiyaki, isn't it?
I've been forced to eat this after every bouldering practice.
I thought you love eating Taiyaki.
Because that's the only thing you offered.
My gosh. I didn't know.
You don't take photos?
Me?
I don't want to bother you two.
Do you want to try it?
Eh? Can I?
Yeah.
Then...
Thanks.
- I'll hold that for you. - Thanks.
- First... the bird. - A bird?
- Take a photo of that bird. - Oh, that bird? Where is it?
It's odd. It's out of focus.
I got it.
How am I supposed to...?
Shuji, thanks for your help today.
Not at all. Ask me anytime.
Crap. I was supposed to meet the CEO in Shinjuku.
Shinjuku?
It's close to here.
I'll return the equipment for you.
Would you? Thanks.
Shuji, sorry.
What a busy guy.
He is.
After cleaning that up, do you want to eat with me?
What?
Which one should I order?
I bet you'd like the omelet on rice.
How did you guess?
You haven't changed.
I'm matured a little.
Excuse me?
I'll have a cheese omelet on rice.
How about you, Shu?
Let's see. I'll have this one.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Did you call yourself matured because you added cheese?
Right. I think cheese is the first step to adulthood.
What a joke.
Why?
What did you order, Shu?
As usual.
I know. You ordered an omelet on rice, didn't you?
Because of you, I started to like an omelet on rice.
I'm sorry for making you clean up after me.
I made it on time.
I'm glad to hear that. We are doing fine.
I'm eating dinner with Shu right now.

- Good. - Is it?
Is that good?
[Preview] Are you going somewhere, Shu?
I've been wanting to capture a different condition of the sky.
He's leaving Japan in six months.
I rather be close to a person I love.
If something bad happens to you...
Shu!
