Would you help me out at ABCB tomorrow?
Darling, you're acting strange today!
Big bro, you take care of the rest!
Ayukawa asked me to help out because she wanted to make these together.
D-Did you eat the chocolates?
H-Hikaru!
On usual, precious nights, I'd be riding by your side...
...as you take me in your car for a ride.
I hung up the phone, when you called to cancel the date...
...I tried to pretend that there wasn't a scent of lie.
The color of my manicure, as it dries...
...only serves to glamorize this night...
A-ha-ha... The Actress in the Mirror...
Got to be more straightforward to say it...
...but uncertainty whispers into my ear...
'Cause I love you... The Actress in the Mirror...
Each time I act, the truth leaves further...
...and further from my face. You've broken my heart.
A-ha-ha... The Actress in the Mirror...
Got to be able to cry...
...but my pride keeps revising my dialogue...
'Cause I love you... The Actress in the Mirror...
There's no turning back now that I've realized...
...the seriousness of the crime. You've broken my heart.
Kimagure Orange Road
The Taste of Love? Kyosuke's Hellish Valentine
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Can you help me out at ABCB?"
"Sure. That's fine."
"But, seeing that it'll be Valentine's Day, maybe you're busy?"
"N-No, not at all."
"Good!"
"Then, to show my appreciation for your assistance..."
"'Appreciation?"'
"Keep it 'til tomorrow."
"See ya."
I, Kasuga Kyosuke, have high hopes for Valentine's Day this year!
Say, Kurumi? Did you get the whipped cream ready?
Gosh, you're being too soft-hearted, Manami!
You've got to stop giving out "obligation chocolates!"
What's wrong with that?! As they say, "show your love to boys who need it!"
Oh! Hey! Hey, you! Kazuya!
W-Wait!
Phffft! - Hey, you! Wait, why don't you?!
Now, now! Don't run away!
Hey! Hey! Kazuya!
Big sis! - Goodness! Why can't you behave?!
Kazuya! Why, you! - Kazuya!
Kyosuke!
Kazuya! - Phffft!
You won't catch me that easily!
Will you cut that out?! Or else I'll get really angry with you!
Ow...
K-Kazuya!
Oh, gee! Gosh, Kazuya, got a cavity or something?
It's because you don't brush your teeth after eating all that candy!
Big bro, you take care of things from here!
Take care of things?! Why, you...
See? What did I tell you?
You'll come down with a fever if you don't get that yanked out right now!
D-Dad! - D... What?!
Er, well...
I-I mean... well, you see, I'm not Kazuya, I'm Kyosuke, so...
Kazuya! Listen to what my Dad tells you!
My goodness! I'll have to ask one of my friends to see you!
You're such a burden!
W-Well, like I told you, I'm...
And I've got a previous engagement with Ayukawa.
Mmm... Yuusaku, the chocolate did harden, right?
Yeah. Perfectly! So far so good!
Now, then, it's "Hikaru Time!"
Really, Hikaru, it's so typical of you to do things like this!
Like, making Valentine's Day chocolate with the recipient!
Truly, it's "homemade love," if you will!
"This is from my heart."
"Hikaru, you have feelings for me, after all."
"Yuusaku, you will accept this from me, won't you?"
"O-Of course, Hikaru."
"Th-Thank you..."
What are you doing, Yuusaku?
That's an important chocolate, one I want Darling to enjoy!
Do you know what day today is?
Nah. - Nope.
You see, it's the day when girls give certain things to boys.
Huh? - What?
You know? It's something that you eat that begins with "ch."
Yo! Kyosuke!
I'm amazed that you'd stoop this low...
...just 'cuz you aren't getting any chocolates! Only you, Kyosuke!
Really! Really!
Y-You're talking about me, huh?
C'mon, stop fooling around here!
Why don't you come with us?!
"Come with you?" Where to?
Where else?! The school! School!
School?! - Yup! Yup! Yup!
Good morning!
Oh! Good morning!
You're in awfully early today!
Ahh, a Valentine's Day "On- the-House" Special, eh?
Lemme see now...
No you don't. They're all accounted for!
Not even an "obligation chocolate" for me?
Still, maybe that's what it's all about.
What do you mean?
W-Well, what I mean is that a girl like you, Madoka,
might only give such things to someone who's really important to you.
G-Gosh... B-But, these are...
Oh!
See?
Some people get bashful when they're hiding something!
Master!
No hot chocolate today!
Oh my!
Huh? Oh, that! Well, you know that the chocolates will be...
...given out, on the house, so...
Oh, I see.
Oh, as I recall, Kasuga is supposed to be helping out today...
Oh! Er...
I don't care anymore!
Well...
My, thank you for your help.
I feel awful, imposing on your day off!
What are you talking about, Takashi?! Have you forgotten? We're friends!
You're welcome anytime, you know!
My...
Still, how many years has it been since the last time you called?
Well, I'm sorry for doing the Kramer vs. Kramer thing!
Though you seem to be in control, from what I can see.
Huh? Oh, no! It takes so much out of me that I don't know what to do!
Geez! This is so lame!
Dad's using Kazuya's cavity as an excuse...
...to look up one of his old lady-friends!
Here you go!
Doesn't this bring back memories!
Huh? Oh! Oh, the chocolate...
It sure does bring back memories from the good old days.
Still, you haven't changed a bit, Takashi!
Huh? Er, why...
You haven't changed at all either!
And, in fact, you're even more sexy now!
Oh? You never complimented me like that in the old days!
Huh? Oh, no! That wasn't exactly a compliment...
I gotta pee!
Oh! Okay! Why don't you just go?! Go!
What are you, nuts?!
Ayukawa is waiting for me, thank you very much!
Anyway, I've got to find Kazuya ASAP and switch places!
Jingoro, have you seen Kazuya? I mean, where's Kyosuke?
Tomita, the self-proclaimed "Playboy!"
He can claim he's whatever, but he's got only two chocolates!
Gee...
...after all the times we've been told not -
to give or receive chocolates in school!
That flippant Yamazaki! Why, he got three chocolate bars!
That martial-arts-maniac Sanshiro, he's got three panties!
P-Panties?
I gotta say, this is very ingenious, big... I mean, you guys.
Want a bite?
L-Listen, you!
These chocolates are not for eating!
They are meant to be placed on an altar and worshiped...
...in the hopes that we too will be blessed next year!
Hatta! - Komatsu!
Ushiko!
Umao!
Wherefore art thou, Ushiko?!
And, wherefore art thou, Umao?!
Dammit, that Kazuya. Where did he go?!
Geez! What does he think Valentine's Day is for?!
For boys like us, boys with pure, innocent hearts...
...Valentine's Day is diabolical, isn't it?!
Customs like this one ought to be immediately eliminated!
That, you see, is our duty! Right, Comrade Hatta?
Right, Comrade Komatsu! Right!
Huh? Do you understand now, Kasuga?!
I don't get it.
Yippee, Darling!
I was looking everywhere for you!
D-D... D-Darling?
Darling...
Darling, somehow, you seem strange today.
D-Did you already eat some chocolate?!
Y-Yeah.
Wh-Who did you get them from?
Hey! This ain't good!
W-We're outta here! Later! - Yeah. Le-Let's do that!
Who did you get it from, Darling?!
I worked so hard to make you a chocolate, Darling.
H-Hikaru!
Who gives a damn about...
A-Awful. Darling, this is awful.
This is awful... - Hikaru!
You bastard! She worked on it so hard, and all for you!
Kasuga Kyosuke...
Just what's he really up to?
Well, now. Work! Work!
Oh?
Kazuya...
So I couldn't get back to being the real me...
...but, I had to keep my appointment with Ayukawa.
For the time being, I was, without a doubt, a completely lost little kid.
Here.
Here you go, Kazuya.
A-Ayukawa. I mean, big sis Madoka.
Oh? What, don't you like chocolate, Kazuya?
Er, well, of course I do.
Then, why so modest?!
Oh! You lucky boy! Kazuya, you see...
...not many non-customers get to have one of those chocolates!
M-Master! - Well!
I don't care anymore!
Ayukawa asked me to help out...
...because she wanted to make these together.
Gee, why that...
Kazuya, do you know where Kasuga is?
Huh? Er, I, er...
Really, he's got some nerve!
Y-You know, I think he went out with Hikaru!
What? He's with her, then?
Uh-huh...
Hikaru...
Madoka!
Darling has... Darling has...
Madoka!
Hikaru!
Do you have any idea what he's done?!
Wait!
Here you go! All done, Kazuya!
Next, we'll do your pants!
Huh? Kazuya?
Now I've got no choice.
I've got to switch places with Kazuya or else!
O-On the other hand, it's because I'm a kid, -
I can be in a place like this!
"Who's there?"
"Why, it's you, Kazuya!"
"Come on in. Come take a shower with this big sis here!"
"W-Wh... Yikes!"
"Don't be so nervous!"
Gosh, Kazuya! So this is where you were!
Okay, now! We've got to dry your pants.
Oh my!
Right! Aha! Uh-huh!
I see!
Uh-huh-huh...
Oh, eyeew! Eyeew!
Oh, my goodness! I don't believe this!
Oh, gee!
My!
What's going on, Hikaru?
Cuz... Cuz... Cuz...
My, Hikaru! You're embarrassing Kazuya!
But it's the first time I've ever seen one!
Isn't this your first time too, Madoka? Well?!
Dummy!
I, Kasuga Kyosuke, was seen butt naked!
Is that for real, Hikaru? Now that's really awful of Kasuga!
You think so too, right? It's just too awful, even for Darling!
I think so too. He completely forgot a previous appointment we'd made.
What? M-Madoka, did you have something arranged for today?
Huh? Oh! N-No!
Nothing important, really...
Oh! B-But, you know, big sisters...
Maybe something came up with big bro Kyosuke!
Something came up?!
But, it's the once-a-year Valentine's Day, for crying out loud!
When shy damsels who can't usually say "I love you! I love you!"
Well, it's the day when they can finally confess their love!
Hikaru! Kazuya can't understand things like that yet!
Oh, that's right!
Anyway, I just can't believe that guy. He's not going to get away with this!
That's right! This time, he's managed to completely trash...
...my pure and innocent heart!
Still, please take it easy on him, okay, Madoka?
Right! She's right!
I can't! I won't forgive him, no matter what!
Big bro! Big bro!
K-Kazuya! - Huh? Oh?
Oh? Do you need to go to the bathroom, Kazuya?
Do you want me to go with you?
Wha?!
Oh, no! It's nothing, really!
Yahoo! - Huh?
Ayukawa?!
What the? - Are you here?
Kasuga!
I was told that Kazuya is with you...
Yoohoo! Darling!
Hikaru!
Oh! That's right, that's right!
Uh-huh! He won't be forgiven!
B-Bad news!
I've gotta switch back, or else!
Big bro!
K-Kazuya! O-Ow!
Oh! Big bro, you didn't get your tooth pulled out yet!
Darling...
Kasuga...
Well, it's a good thing I've found him at last!
'Cuz I've gotta take him to the dentist!
Now, wait, Kasuga. Don't you have something to tell us before you go?
That's right, Darling!
All we need is a word from you, like...
"I'm sorry about before. What happened back there, it wasn't me."
Then I can forgive you just like that!
What are you talking about?! This is all your fault, Hikaru!
I... I...
I'm sorry, Darling!
You idiot!
I, for one, won't forgive you!
Look how messed up my scarf is! Explain that!
Oh! The scarf... It's Madoka's!
Who else has the gall to do the kind of things that you do?!
Now, now, relax!
Oh, yeah! Where's my chocolates?
I haven't gotten one from you, Ayukawa, y'know!
Madoka, forgive me...
But, it's my fault that he's acting this way.
And yet this once, I won't let him get away with it!
I'm sorry, Darling!
Hikaru!
K-K-Kazuya!
Pardon me.
In that case, I'll take you up on your kind offer...
...and let Kasuga handle the rest!
Please! Please!
Apparently he REALLY wants to atone for his bad behavior!
A-Ayukawa.
Well, Master...
I'm sure your wife is waiting for you at home with some chocolates!
My! You always have the upper hand, Madoka!
Well, then, if you'll excuse me!
Looks like I didn't get any chocolate...
...for Valentine's Day again this year!
Hot chocolate?
D-Don't get the wrong idea now!
It's just that there's some hot chocolate left over...
...so that's why I'm giving it to you.
Uh-huh.
Oops, I forgot something.
Huh? Something smells good!
Oh? As I recall, there wasn't going to be any hot chocolate served today.
M-Master! Hurry up and go home!
Well then, take your time!
That means, this must've come from Ayukawa's heart.
"I just dance in the sweet memories" (Sweet memories)
At a train station on a faraway day...
...snowflakes dance on the platform,
and you came running, out of breath.
The days we had to be apart made the memory of you...
...a happy one, like seeing your photograph.
"I just dance in the sweet memories"
Each time we're hurt, we learn...
"I just dance in the sweet memories"
...what it takes to love someone.
"I just dance in the sweet memories" (He's my one and only; you never can tell)
"I just dance in the sweet memories" (Sweet memories)
"I just dance in the sweet memories!"
After Hikaru died, I realized for the first time...
...that her cheerfulness was what bonded everyone together.
I'll never say "I'd be embarrassed to exchange diaries" again,
so please, come back to life once more!
Next time: "Hikaru Passes Away; And Then There Were None."
I don't even deserve a chance for redemption!
