Um...
Could we become a couple?
Then?
What happened?
There was dead silence between us,
and she left.
And she said we can still meet some other time.
Meet? But it's the opposite.
When I understood that we won't be doing it, it feels like it it was taken back from me!
So?
Even if she said that,
I was kind of expecting that she wanted to stay longer.
But...
This is the final stretch till the exams, huh?
Let's do our best till the exams.
Yeah.
It was no exaggeration the uneasiness I felt then.
What happened in my room was something like a dream,
turned out to be really like a dream.
Even though I felt I had to confirm if we're going out,
the words just didn't come out.
I'm fine here.
Okay.
Bye.
Hurry!
I have to hurry or she'll just go, that's what I thought.
Yoshizuki!
Be sure
to call me.
Fool! That's it?!
There's no reason to think it's over, you idiot!
Yoshizuki came here,
you embraced, and said to turn off the lights, right?!
It was okay! The signal was okay!
No, but, Iori...
Do you think she would have done it with anyone?
You really like Yoshizuki but do you think she have done it if she didn't like you?
Of course she also likes me.
Right?!
Doing it with the girl you like is perfectly normal!
Why can't you accept your love?!
So how about that phone call?
She hasn't called.
What?
Then what about
your lovey dovey New Year's temple visit?
We didn't go.
For the past month, I've neither seen her nor heard from her.
Whoa...
Then call her!
Of course you can call her!
I did!
I went to get one of these so that she can call me whenever and then called her.
But I can't reach her.
But I left a message in her machine.
So it means, it's no use?
Be honest...
What do you think?
It's over.
You've been dumped.
I knew it!!!
Figures...
So it's over.
That's it?
Did Itsuki gave up on you for the sake of that weak devotion?
Huh?
Don't just wallow up on self pity and call her!
Then you can know for sure!
Yes? Hello?
Ah...
Hello. Seto?
It's Yoshizuki.
Hi. It's been awhile.
I'm currently at a cafe near Eifuku-Nishi station.
What?
~ Are we just walkin', sunny day? We take a detour again ~
~ There are always big sunflowers as we walk on a rocky road ~
~ I invited you to the other side of the distant hill ~
~ I threw away the bag and started running. Even though we are ~
~ exaggerating about this thing called love, ~
~ we spent the same seasons together ~
~ Although we feel the hands of the clock ~
~ would not turn back, we were still laughing ~
~ Those yesterdays blown away by the wind ~

[ Episode 9 - The world's biggest fool ]
So how's your studying going?
What?
Ah.
Okay, I guess...
I see.
Did you go anywhere for New Year's?
I was studying.
Of course.
Iori...
Why do you talk so heavily?
By the way, which university are you trying for?
Takashiki University.
Same university as you.
Huh?
So that we would be together.
I don't know if I'll pass or not though.
I'm sorry.
It would be best
if we don't see each other anymore.
What?!
Sorry.
I have to meet someone else today.
Bye.
So you're just going to let her go?!
This will be the end!
I can still make it!
I still can!
No...
All that time we didn't see each other,
Iori has prepared for the worst.
It's over...
Seto.
No.
The number you are calling
is either out of coverage area,
or is currently turned off.
I might have thought somewhere within me
that it would work out as long as we see each other.
So now...
I don't have a choice but to give up?
You're so mean for not coming to school at all!
I was keeping quiet since I thought you were busy studying, but you're just out taking a stroll!
Hey!
I won't let you get away!
Alright!
Don't say that! I'm asking what do you think about it.
But that means you're dumped. Now you're all mine!
How does that work?!
But why did she say that you should stop seeing each other?
What did you do?
I don't know.
Anyway, cheer up, Ichitaka.
I know! Let's karaoke! You can sing to cheer yourself up!
Thank you. But I'm not in the mood.
It's really over, huh?
She really made it clear we should stop seeing each other.
I also like it when you look sad.
What are you doing?! Look around!
That's okay with me.
If I can help you forget Iori.
Ah.
Listen.
Could you let go of my arm?
What? After such a hot kiss, how can you say that?
We're practically a couple, right?
How can we be a couple?! You're wrong!
How mean! Then you were just playing with my feelings!
N-No... I mean...
Ichitaka, do you hate me?
N-No, I don't hate you but...
Then it's okay!
Since I like you,
and you don't hate me, then let's be a couple!
If it's so bad that I try and date you, then it's okay to break up.
But I'm going to try hard
not to let that happen.
Well...
I know! Let's go to a hotel!
What?!
Since just kissing is not enough,
why don't we see how far we can go?
H-How far we can go?
I was just kidding, you know.
What?
I'll take off now.
I don't want to disrupt your studying.
Let's have a proper date next time.
Just why am I resisting?
That cute girl
is saying that she really likes me.
But...
Her kiss was really nice...
What?!
Since just kissing is not enough.
Let's see how far
we can go.
Iori?
No! Iori is here!
It's alright.
Since she's not looking at you.
Right, Iori?
That's right. I...
thought of it many times and I think Seto is not for me.
See?
Besides...
Huh? What?
You actually want me, right?
Huh?
So it's only a dream.
I've completely annoyed at you.
What happened with Yoshizuki?
Well...
I still can't properly talk to her.
That's weird!
How can you spend the days making that uncertain face and be fine with it?
And besides, what you just said,
dreams are manifestations of your subconscious.
Since things didn't go well with Yoshizuki,
you think you might have been better with Izumi?
Who were you planning to confess to?
To you.
I thought...
It was one-sided...
I thought what we felt were mutual once...
I really don't understand
what Iori feels...
Iori...
What do you
think of me right now?
[ I pray that I get in successfully at Takashiki University ]
Ichitaka?
What are you doing here?
What?
I'm gonna ask for prayers.
They don't sell charms at this shrine! Let's go.
What?
Let's go on a date. I have a place I want to go.
No, w-wait.
Geez! Just forget it and let's just go!
Wait! Let me hang this!
[ I pray Ichitaka success - Izumi ]
Oh well. [ I pray Ichitaka success - Izumi ]
To think I was secretly doing this. [ I pray Ichitaka success - Izumi ]
I wanted to be the girl who watched from the shadows and supported the one she loves.
But don't worry. I won't stop just because you found out.
I'll still keep hanging prayer charms like this everyday.
All this...
For me...
Hey,
let's have a date.
We're lucky they have it.
Ah, yeah.
This is for the best.
Hey, I'm hungry.
Ah...
Okay, okay.
What do you want to eat?
Here.
Thank you.
What?
It's good.
I've been
dumped anyway.
Okay.
Let's spend the afternoon back at my place.
Your place?!
No. I don't want to impose.
It's not a problem.
I've prepared my place that you can come whenever.
Prepared?
Come to my place.
Let's be...
...together.
Since it's over
between me and Iori.
Who is this?
Hello?
Hey, Seto!
Just what're you thinking?!
Huh?
Morisaki?
Don't you pity Iori?
Huh?!
I don't know what happened in the Christmas Eve,
but she confessed to you, right?!
You've really got the nerve
to dump Iori!
Wait! Hold on!
Who said that?
Iori said it!
She said you dumped her.
No way.
It's true!
She was crying on the phone, jerk!
You and Teratani
should just die!
Sorry, Morisaki.
I'm gonna hang up.
What?
Izumi, sorry.
I have somewhere I need to go.
Iori?
Sorry.
I'm really sorry!
Hello?
It's Seto.
You see...
I want to see you and talk to you right now.
Where are you?
She's not here.
Seto?
Sorry.
I was talking to someone who is inviting me into acting.
I didn't thought you'd come here so quick.
Yeah.
You see...
My, oh my.
Your boyfriend seems plain, Iori.
Ms Furukawa! I thought you already left.
I was wondering what kind of person your boyfriend is.
I told you, he's not my boyfriend.
Yoshizuki.
Who is she?
Ah...
I'm sorry.
I'm Furukawa from Isai Production.
What?
You girlfriend
is a golden egg.
Don't do anything to hurt her.
Bye then, Iori. See you tomorrow.
Okay.
Is she from a talent production company?
Yeah.
You will join them?
Yeah...
I'm gonna enter an acting training school.
And...
What do you want to talk about?
Ah, that's right.
Let's see...
You see...
I heard from Morisaki.
Jeez, that darn Yuka.
I told her not to...
You misunderstood.
I didn't dump you.
In fact,
I thought you dumped me.
I was just...
Thinking even now...
I was hoping you could still be my girlfriend.
I mean...
Please be my girlfriend!
I was actually
regretting it.
I wondered why I was being too harsh.
To think I want you to be my boyfriend too.
I wondered why I didn't give my response then.
I thought that
if we became boyfriend and girlfriend,
I would always want to be with you.
It would have been bad before the entrance exams.
When I heard that you were also aiming to go to Takashiki University to be with me,
even though I want to be with you,
I just assumed thoughtlessly that we can't be together.
When I thought about it later,
I just more or less refused you outright.
I thought that you would have hated me.
When I thought that...
I got scared.
So I couldn't call.
I guess, I'm...
a fool.
I'm the fool.
I never imagined it.
Iori was going through all this.
I'm
the world's biggest fool
and the world's
happiest man.
I see.
So you've given up on Takashiki University.
Yeah.
I'm sorry for giving you the wrong idea.
No, don't be. It can't be helped.
I think it would be better for you to go to acting school.
Thank you.
Have you heard of Isai Kaminagi?
I have a feeling I have.
He's a famous stage director.
I've always looked up to him.
Five years ago, he founded a school.
Actually, I've been wanting to enter there.
So it means it's a fruit of a five year old love.
But I have a three year old love too, right?
What?
So does that mean we had feelings for each other for three years?
What?!
You too?!
No way! It didn't look that way.
I was convinced that you hated me.
Right back at you! If you had given me stronger signals, I would have known!
The same goes for you!
Right!
From now on, I'm going to perfectly clear my feelings!
Yoshizuki!
Y-Yes?!
We are, you know...
...a couple, right?
So?
That's why, well...
We should...
We should be walking arm in arm!
No.
What?
Why not?
Just kidding.
Whoa!
I'm happy.
I'm so damn happy!
Ichitaka! Good morning!
'Morning.
You weren't able to come to my place last time, but when can you come?
I've been thinking if it's okay today.
Ah, you see, Izumi. I've been thinking if it's okay today.
Ah, you see, Izumi.
I have to tell the truth
especially to Izumi.
There's something I have to tell you no matter what.
Ah.
I have to go or I'll be late.
Wait!
It's important!
Seto.
Long time no see.
Of course not.
The reason I came to see you
is I have to give you a warning.
What is it?
It's simple.
Can you promise that
you would never
tell anyone you're actually
dating Iori?
What?
This is
the rule in our industry.
If people find out, it'll be a burden with Iori.
You don't want that, right?
I pray that you'll be wise about this.
Bye then.
Sorry.
I wasn't able to go to school today.
I suddenly got a job.
No, no.
Don't worry about me and do your best.
I would be able to go to school next Tuesday.
Okay.
Good night.
Time passed where
Iori didn't come to school.
Time just passed without us talking
what Ms Furukawa told me.
You can start.
The number you are calling
is either out of coverage area
or is currently turned off.
You see...
This might be
the last time I would be able to go to school.
What?
I got a job for a stage play.
Oh.
It's Mr Isai's stage play, right?
Heard you got an important role.
That's good to hear.
How did you know?
Ms Furukawa told me about it.
You really are seriously doing it.
But I think
you don't have to go to an acting training school anymore.
That's what Mr Isai also said to me.
He said he'll personally teach me.
Wow! That's really amazing!
You probably are so honored
that someone you admire said that.
Let's go.
Seto!
Did Ms Furukawa also said that
we should keep it a secret we're dating?
Are you alright with that, Seto?
Are you fine with making it a secret?
Of course, that's really important.
Also...
We wouldn't be seeing much of each other more.
It seems like you're sacrificing for my sake?
I think it would be better if you
rethink about it.
What're you talking about?
It's for your dream of a lifetime to come true, right?
I'll make sacrifices countless times for it.
When we finally understand each other then this happens...
Just what is this anxiousness?
It feels like Iori
is drifting further and further away...
Fluff fluff~
Fuwa~ Fuwa~
Fuwarin~
Body refreshing water.
Fuwarin.
Fuwarin~
What?
It's amazing that she even appeared in a commercial!
Yeah!
She's a celebrity!
Fluff fluff~
Fuwa~ Fuwa~ Fuwarin~
You're doing it wrong!
You're making fun of her!
Did you see? Did you see?
It was really amazing!
You're really doing it wrong! Do it one more time.
Hey, hey. It was really made in high quality, huh?
It's really special.
I'm really doing it properly.
Fuwarin~
Fluff~ Fluff~
Fuwarin~
I should arrange the Fuwarin part.
Try doing it again.
I'll do it this time.
Fluff~ Fluff~
Fuwa~ Fuwa~
Ichitaka!
Ah.
Hey!
Wait for me, Ichitaka!
What?
Huh?
He really ran fast! Geez!
Thanks. You saved me.
Why is Izumi still following you?
Why? I told you.
I can't tell that I'm dating Iori.
I wonder.
Wouldn't you feel better if you just lay it out to her?
Don't be ridiculous!
Whatever.
How far have you gone with Yoshizuki?
Does it matter?
I haven't really gone any further.
Hey, hey, hey.
You've been going out for a year with someone you like, you know.
You have to move forward!
Leave me alone!
I go with my own pace!
Wait.
There's something I want to show you.
Here.
What about it?
Listen.
She only appeared only in one commercial and there's this much talk already.
It's decided she'll appear in a big stage, right?
There would be loads of fans and
Yoshizuki's surrounding environment will bewilderingly change.
If that happens,
instead of being your girlfriend,
she'll be everyone's "Iori Yoshizuki".
That's why if you're not solidly tied to her heart and body right now,
there's a 99% chance you'll lose her.
She'll go to a distant place.
Everyone's "Iori Yoshizuki".
You're not actually doing it.
Dammit! Why is Yoshizuki not here?!
This might be the chance where our romance would start!
Idiot!
You have no chance with her.
Huh?! You'll never know!
I can tell!
She might be in love with some actor or an idol this time around.
I'll never lose to an actor or an idol!
Of course you'll lose!
I won't!
Of course, you'll lose!
Wanna bet?!
Huh?!
Iori...
Why aren't you here?
To think it's the final day in high school.
Which reminds me...
This is where we...
This place sure takes me back.
Seto!
Just as I thought you're here.
I had a feeling you're up here.
So I came straight up.
Yoshizuki.
Is it okay with your work?
Ah.
I went anyway even though it's rash.
Because I wanted to graduate with you no matter what.
This will also be the final day where we will see each other in school.
I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Thank you for always thinking of me for the past three years.
Likewise.
I know.
I'll do the graduation rites to you.
Okay!
I present this graduation certificate
to Ms Iori Yoshizuki of Year 3 Class C,
certifying you have completed the high school curriculum of Wanda High School.
From Ichitaka Seto.
Here.
Instead of being everyone's "Iori Yoshizuki",
you're my girlfriend!
Thank you very much.
Sure.
Are you seriously in love with her?
You're a fool. You're way over your head.
Shut up, jerk!
Besides, you've got no chance with her.
Actually, she's already...
What's with Yoshizuki?
Ow...
Sorry, we're late.
Long time no see!
Why are you two together?!
No. We just ran into each other awhile ago, right?
Yeah.
Then, then, let's go out and eat together!
Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Hey guys! Take care!
Be sure to stop by sometime!
Ah, Mr Hanazono. I need to pick up my graduation certificate.
Oh, Yoshizuki! You came!
Okay, let's go to the teacher's room.
Bye!
Yeah.
Be sure to be good citizens!
Koshinae...
Today must be hard for him.
Ah! Oh no!
I have to protect Yoshizuki from weird fans!
You're talking about yourself.
It would be better to not invite him on the trip.
But Seto!
It must be hard keeping it a secret that you two are dating, huh?
Yeah...
Ah!
I knew it!
It's a secret, okay?!
Iori's agency asked us not to tell anyone.
You two are finally together.
You've wasted three years, you know!
Idiots!
Many things happened.
I made a lot of memories here.
Thank you.
Farewell.
And then...
A brand new beginning!
What should I do?
Let's learn together this spring!
I passed!
We're going together!
Alright!
I passed!
I passed.
Thank you very much.
Why don't you check again?
There!
I passed!
Huh?
I failed.
~ What is it that connects us? ~
~ I have to make sure ~
~ I wonder what you long for ~
~ I still don't know ~
~ Because you still don’t know just how much ~
~ I loved you when I said those words ~
~ It's already a deep and affectionate love ~
~ And not a cheap kind of love ~
~ Because I still have to grow this seed ~
~ I want you to be a part of me ~
~ Like I want to be a part of you ~
~ I would like to be closer to you than anyone else ~

Because I believe in you, Seto.
We'll decide the pairs in the rooms!
One lucky pair will spend one night with the 200 thousand yen royal suite!
Hello!
Alone together intimate in a hotel room
would be strange if nothing happened!
You're disgusting!
When Iori appeared in the commercial, you're all "Yoshizuki! Yoshizuki!".
Wait in the bed.
Geez! I don't know what will happen, okay?!
I'll keep it a secret with Iori.
I finally caught you!
You won't fall in love with her?
This is really the entrance to a new dimension!
