Do you like someone new?
There's a person that I'm falling for.
Are you going out with him?
I stayed overnight at his house.
Is this the end?
Sae...
Sae!
Is something wrong?
What happened?
This is busted, it doesn't even get reception.
Go get it fixed.
May I?
Yes.
Why do you two throw cell phones at each other?
If they're cell phones, you should call each other with them.
Sae-chan, you can text message, right?
That's right.
Why did you throw it at her from across the street?
I didn't throw it at her.
It was dangerously close to hitting me!
So?
What did you want to say so badly about that you threw a cell phone?
Yeah, what did you want to tell her?
Yeah, yeah what did you want to tell her?
You know,
he's about to get dumped.
You got dumped?!
Why?
Why do you guys all know sign language?
I don't know, I suppose they studied it.
When did you get dumped?
Ah that's wrong, remember how Sae did this?
Not "got dumped," but "about to get dumped."
"About to get dumped."
You know, I'd prefer that you stop this.
Repeatedly talking about getting dumped.
Thanks.
Who would've thought that we'd have to jump the horse after we're 20?
I heard some people couldn't graduate because they dropped their gym credits.
Hey,
Do you think if Kai-kun got dumped, he would come to you?
I don't want to see Kai sad.
That's why I don't want him to get dumped.
Really?
So it's not really a feeling of love,
it's more like friendship.
Is that so?
Not only that, I won't fall in love anymore.
Am I not in your life?
It feels like we're growing apart, I'm a little scared.
There... right, left...
Are you all right?
Yes.
There you go... Okay, shall we turn around?
Oh, I'm sorry!
Are you okay, sir?
I'm okay.
Here's the information about professional schools you asked for.
Thank you so much.
After graduating from college,
you'll finally be able an exam to become a certified occupational therapist.
Yes.
To become an occupational therapist, as you've probably come to see... Ouch!
As you've probably come to see from your part-time job, it's a very difficult job.
You have to help with rehabilitate those who are ill or injured.
Yes, I understand that, but I feel that I can put my studies in social psychology to work there.
I think the patients need more psychological care.
That's true.
At the hospital that you're working at, there's a vacancy available every two years.
That'll be exactly the year that you take that exam.
However, it's too early to celebrate.
It's a pretty narrow process,
but I'll do whatever is within my power to help you.
I'll try my best.
How is it?
Delicious!
I'm glad!
I made too much rice yesterday.
Hey, the guys in the Orange Society seem
to be gradually picking up sign language.
Sign language?
That's right, everyone understands what you're saying.
They're even talk to each other in sign language.
Is it pity?
Pity?
Volunteering?
That doesn't really fit their personalities.
Everyone likes you, Sae.
Sae, you're everyone's princess.
Yeah right.
No.
Even from way back, you were always the princess.
Everyone wants to talk to you.
That's why they're all learning sign language.
I don't want everyone
I don't need to be the princess.
I just want one person.
Someone who will
love me and only think of me.
Someone who will die with me, when I die.
Someone who will cry with me, when I'm sad.
Someone who will laugh and cry
half a second before me.
I want someone who can cheer me up.
That's 100 times more difficult than becoming a princess.
Yeah...
Oh, sorry.
Your boyfriend?
No!
I don't even have one.
Hello?
Yes! Yes! I understand!
Thank you so much!
Yes!
Goodbye.
What?
What is it?
The other day,
I had a final interview with Queen Travel Company.
I passed it!
I did it! I did it!
So that's why...
To celebrate Akane's finding a job,
I was thinking the Orange Society should go camping together!
Oh yeah,
why don't we celebrate for those that have found work?
That would be Akane-chan and me... Akane-chan and me.
No matter how many times we count, it's Akane-chan and me.
However, Kai is also stepping towards a new direction in life.
Oh yeah, I guess we can count that as something to celebrate.
What do you mean, "I guess?" It is something to celebrate.
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
Let's go camping.
I agree!
All right, we are all going camping together!
Did you write a card for us?
Also, what's your department?
Huh?
"I don't have most of my hearing.
That's why I can't speak either. Are there any openings for employment?"
Wow, you have it rough.
Can I sit here?
Alright! Time to eat!
You're eating at this hour?
Until now, I was working and didn't have time to eat.
Working hard, I see.
What are you looking at?
"Application for Employment."
What, so sudden?
After Akane found a job,
I started worrying about myself.
"Application for Employment, HANDICAPPED."
I was just thinking to myself, "I count as handicapped."
Was there anything good?
There are a lot of office jobs.
You're not going to play the piano?
Because last time you wrote in the notebook, you started playing the piano.
It's a hobby.
Music is my hobby.
Anyway, how about your girlfriend
did you work things out with Maho?
I'm trying hard.
Although it's just me.
I'm trying to win her back somehow.
Trying to become a person good enough for her.
So that's why you've been trying so hard lately.
"Since it's you, Kai you can do it!"
What's up with you today, you're being too nice.
"Once in a while."
It really is once in a while...
No, It's nothing.
I'm home!
I shouldn't bother her.
Maho
Kai-kun.
I was about to go to your place.
To my house?
Because you didn't answer your phone.
I just happened to be nearby.
I lied, I just wanted to see you.
Can I sit?
Oh, I'm meeting someone.
Someone is coming.
What time?
One o'clock.
It's okay, I'll make it short.
I have to go to school soon anyway.
Welcome.
May I have some coffee?
Yes.
I thought things over after that.
Oh yeah, did you happen to call me?
My phone was broken.
I haven't.
I see.
Oh well.
I just thought that I should tell you what I'm thinking.
Because If I keep my thoughts in, I will just make you feel unstable.
Look at this.
I'm going to do three years of study,
and take this exam to get certified.
Then if possible I want to become an occupational therapist.
At the hospital where I'm working part-time.
That's one of the reasons I'm working there right now.
Then, I'll finally have a career.
When that happens,
I want to marry you Maho.
Until now, I thought it was wrong to just make my own plans and suck other people into it.
However, it's not like I'm sucking you in, since you have your own life too.
We can both work on our own careers, together.
What's wrong?
Because...
Kai-kun, I...
If it's about last time, I'll forget about it.
I was just confused before, I'm not a child so I understand.
Sorry, were you waiting?
Oh, who is this?
Kai Yuuki.
Oh, it's you...
How cute.
I...
If you excuse me.
Wait...
Wait!
Wait a second!
What?
I was thinking of calling you.
I knew I had to explain things to you properly.
Then explain it to me now, it's not a long story, is it?
Is that guy whose house you stayed at last time?
But, nothing happened I just slept there.
And?
But...
I like him now.
Kai-kun I...
can't see you as I used to anymore.
I understand.
These things happen because of both sides.
It's not just one person's fault.
Kai-kun...
you're hurting me.
This...
isn't a handshake.
I hope you'll be happy.
They're cold, I'll order some more.
Excuse me!
Can I assume that you've come to me now?
As potential locations, we have Karuizawa, and Saiko.
Wow, you can see Mt. Fuji from Saiko!
You need to listen!
Ouch.
Hey, are we going by car?
Yeah, we can use my car...
Or Kai, do you want to rent a car?
Kai?
Oh, sorry.
I'm going to step out for a smoke.
I finished reading this.
Akane-chan, look at this one...
I'm sorry.
I can't hear, so I thought you were laughing.
I was laughing at first but,
then I started crying.
Oh, that manga "Vagabond"?
Did Takezo finally die?
That's not it, I got dumped.
What? Got dumped by who?
It's okay, you already saw me.
I'm sorry,
I saw you.
Are you going?
Do you want me to stay?
I guess it doesn't matter either way.
What's that mean?
I'll go buy something warm to drink.
I tried hard too.
Because she was older, I tried my best to be an adult.
Did you understand what I just said?
"I don't know, but I got the gist of it."
I don't understand your words,
but I understand your feelings.
I'm so uncool, crying in front of a girl.
It's okay.
We're both uncool, the two of us...
Am I...
cute?
Are you bragging?
No,
Maho's new boyfriend looked at me and called me cute.
You're not cute.
You're cool.
Didn't you just say that we're both uncool?
Oh well, you can't hear me anyway.
Can you hear us?
I can catch the rhythm from your movements,
and I can slightly hear high pitch tones.
What?
She can catch the rhythm from our movements, and she can kind of hear high pitch tones.
Sing with them.
You might be sorry, I sing pretty well.
You guys are too loud!
Man, where are we? Which way am I supposed to go?
It's all good.
Okay! Applause!
You're dangerous!
Okay! Applause for Sae!
Here can you carry this too?
The next one's heavy.
What's in it?
It's full of beer.
Here you go, princess.
Wow, the water's cold!
Here, can you wash this?
Everyone, gather round!
I'm taking it!
Don't take it!
Cheese!
Ah! We have to set everything up first! No drinking until later!
Can you carry this?!
Hey, you two! Don't be off playing like that!
Let's eat!
Hey! I was warming that up, so don't eat it!
It's so good!
It's hot!
Yum!
Cheers!
So did you practice for that?
Shanghai Honey?
We wanted to sing it for Sae-chan in sign language.
Wow, things are going well, huh? You two practiced together, didn't you?
Yeah, we're getting along pretty naturally.
However, at this rate, I'm going to lose the chance to tell her my feelings.
Huh?
Before I know it, I feel like I'm going to get put into the "nice guy" category.
Actually, I think I've already put myself into that category.
Once you're in there, you can't get out.
"You're a nice guy, but..." I've heard those words so many times.
"You're a nice guy, but..."
Hey, why do you think girls never want to date nice guys?
Well, I think once you're past 35, and looking for an arranged marriage it might happen.
"He's a nice guy so I guess I wouldn't mind marrying him."
My debut will be when I'm 35...
Rock, paper, scissors!
One more time!
Shohei's it!
1... 2... 3...
4... 5... 6...
7... 8... 9...
10!
Can't he see your skirt?
Can I go over there?
All right, but wait a minute.
It's convenient at times like this.
Sign language.
I found you, Akane-chan.
I'll come for you soon, Akane-chan.
Is this for me?
It's been a long time
since I've done anything like this.
These kind of times that become memories of youth.
It's difficult to hang out with me
because I can't hear.
But now, I'm having so much fun.
Is this for me?
Are you making memories for me?
Is it pity?
No.
I'm having fun too.
To tell the truth,
it's been a long time for me as well.
Chance!
That's it Kai!
Come back, Kai!
No!
Kai-kun!
Keep going!
Run!
Yes, I did it!
You know, I'm kind of a romantic.
I like fairy tales and stuff, I love stories.
To tell the truth, I even wrote one once.
Only one of you can translate.
However, of course I didn't have the talent for it.
I gave up right away.
And?
In the end, you decided to continue your families wedding business.
And you know, I thought,
even if I don't have the talent, I should just try to create my own story within my life.
It's okay,
It's fine, I've heard this before anyway.
Working like a normal person, and helping someone even a little bit.
To make just enough to support a family.
I would have a cute wife and kids.
It may be the kind of scene you'd see anywhere,
but as long as I give my all until the end,
as long as I can live protecting and loving my family until the end,
that in itself, I think, would become my own story that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
I mean, it's not the kind of legend that will make thousands of people turn their ears,
nor is it the kind of story that will be passed on through generations.
However, that's the one and only story like itself.
This is my dream...
Although it's a boring dream.
It's not boring.
Keita-kun...
You're such a good person.
You're a really, really nice guy.
I knew that in the end, the words that follow were going to be "nice guy," but...
No, it's nothing!
Can I have a second one?
Oh my god!
Idiot!!!
You're horrible!
Oh sorry, there was a gnat.
Who cares about the gnat?! Man...
What were you writing?
Who could that be?
What is it?
Ghosts?
No!
Do you have any insect repellent?
There's a bug like a mosquito in our cabin.
Oh, it's a gnat.
What's going on?
Oh, I'm gonna go get some insect repellent.
All right.
Where is your bicycle?
I thought I left it here.
What?
Sae-chan went to buy something with Kai.
That's not it.
What?
You know how these cabins don't have bathrooms?
They're by the intersection-
I know, but over there, there are some scary-looking guys hanging around.
I can't go by myself.
That's not what I mean.
Don't you want someone to come with you?
Yes, but...
Kai-kun isn't here, right? Then maybe I can ask Keita-kun...
Okay then...
Hey, Keita!
Keita?
Wait until later I'm at an important part!
He seems kind of busy, It's okay if it's me isn't it?
We came here after washing the vegetables, right?
It's not here either.
Wait...
It's dark so I couldn't see your sign language.
What is it?
You piss me off.
Oh well, we can just walk there.
No, we can't. That's not the problem.
That bicycle was expensive.
Cant you cooperate and help me find it?!
I understand but,
what are you getting mad at me for?
Who knows?
I'm back.
You're slow, number 2?
It wasn't!
Wait a second.
Let's go home another way.
They're looking for trouble.
Oh yeah!
When we went boating and fishing, I left it here.
I forgot about that.
It was fun being able to take a walk around the whole campground.
Oh, I remember these!
I used to use these when I was in high school!
I like the feeling when these locks click and unlock.
What's the code?
6... 2... 1...
Huh? What's the last number?
Take a guess.
Sure, but what do I get if I guess right?
Let's bet something.
What will you do?
If you guess right,
we will start dating.
Well?
You mean as lovers?
All right.
Then give me a hint.
2, 4, 6, 8... It's an even number.
Now take a guess.
That's why I said we should hold hands.
But I knew you had some other weird motives.
You're too self-conscious.
Here!
Help me...
Huh, who are you talking to?
God...
You're really something.
Here.
Are you all right?
6... 2... 1...
The last number is...
4.
Try it.
Wrong,
it was 8.
You have to let me ride behind you.
What you must be heavy.
Let's go.
"Hint: an even number."
The chance that we would date was one in five.
I thought that it was pretty good,
but if I had said at the time,
"Hint: the number that comes after seven,"
we would've been able to go out.
However, I wasn't smart enough to think of that at the spur of the moment,
nor shrewed enough, nor cute enough...
It's done! Finally done! My love letter!
I just need to give it to her.
Akane-chan, LOVE!
Kai? Shohei?
Huh?
Where did those two go?
Actually, it hurts.
My right foot hurts after all.
Right here...
Dangerously, we...
Oh, it's a hill!
Not being able to control the handles very well,
Scary scary scary!
We continued to move forward while laughing, frolicking, and being slightly afraid.
not knowing where we were headed.
I hope it reaches you
Todoite kureru to ii na
届いてくれるといいな
In a place you don't know, I'm playing a tune of my feelings for you.
君の分かんないところで 僕も今奏でてるよ
Kimi no wakannai tokoro de boku mo ima kanadete iru yo
They are like a flower that withered before it could sprout.

二つ重ねて鳴らすハーモハーモニー
Put these two notes together and they make a harmony.
I repeat "Thank you" and "I'm sorry" over and over again.

「ありがとう」と「ごめんね」を繰り返して僕ら
人恋しさを積み木みたいに乗せてゆく

Our longing like building blocks we stack them up.

A small faint light burns in our hearts.

We should treasure that which we vowed.

That is what I'm thinking.
