Iori...
is in my room.
My own room feels like another world.
Even though I knew that it was wrong...
I couldn't help but have dirty thoughts.
Seto?
What's wrong?
I'm a fan of this fan.
But I managed to survive that obstacle.
It's a fan.
This is...
my first time in a boy's room.
I was really nervous.
But you making that joke really helped me to relax.
You must be so experienced.
What are you talking about?
You had a girlfriend back in elementary school, right?
Teratani told me.
You were lovey dovey.
Do you still love her?
Not really.
-You're blushing! -Not really. Not really.
I'm glad.
We are finally talking like normal.
What?
Can I use the bathroom?
It is next to the stairs.
She is glad to be able to talk me.
So that's what she thinks of me.
Oops! Excuse me!
Who was that?
"I"s"
Icchan?
Long time no see.
Icchan?
You didn't forget your old girlfriend, did you?
Itsuki?
Yes.
I don't like you like that.
Please stop that.
It's creepy.
-He's such a creep. -Let's go.
That is too cruel.
Icchan.
You're a man. Don't act like that.
If you really like her...
throw your whole heart to her.
Itsuki.
Itsuki?
Why are you here?
We'll talk later.
-I need to use the bathroom. -Wait!
Wait! What?
What?
What is it?
Icchan?
It's cold.
No good. It's locked.
It is really cold out her.
But...
she really has filled out.
I need to go.
What am I thinking about at a time like this?
So cold!
Put this on. You can't go around like that.
That's nice of you.
You've grown up a bit.
-You are talking loud. -What?
Why are you whispering?
I see.
It's a girl, right?
What is wrong with you?
I really need to use the bathroom.
Why are you in Japan anyway?
You moved to America.
That is a rude way to put it.
Am I not allowed back in Japan?
What are you saying?
It's been four years.
Shouldn't you be...
asking me how I was or telling me you missed me?
Listen.
This is a very important moment.
Do you remember your advice?
If you like someone, you need to throw your whole heart into it.
I am doing that now.
I figured it was a girl.
Ridiculous. All you did was grow a few inches.
You haven't changed at all.
If you like her, tell her that clearly.
Everyone has different ways.
My process is different from...
Sorry.
I heard voices out here.
Seto. I'll go home now.
How much did she hear?
She might have heard...
that I like her.
Isn't that okay?
Why can't she hear that?
I told you.
If she knows, she might hate me.
I can't take that.
Coward.
Nothing will happen if you don't show some courage.
At least show her to the station.
Go!
-But what should I say? -Just go!
I didn't know where to go.
I wanted to ask you.
Right.
Okay.
How much did she hear?
You should have just told me.
What?
If you were with your girlfriend, I wouldn't have bothered you.
-What? -But...
it isn't right to ignore our meeting...
-to hang out with your girlfriend. -No.
Wait a minute.
She isn't my girlfriend.
Who is she?
There goes our emotional reunion.
Ichitaka is a dummy!
She is from elementary school, right?
Well.
I knew that was still going on.
It's none of your business.
Sorry.
Darn.
I reverted to my jerk act.
Calm down. Just think.
But...
why does she even care about Itsuki?
Is she jealous?
Iori...
likes me.
Seto.
This is far enough. Thank you.
What?
What are you going to do? Iori is going.
Seto.
She is waiting for you to tell her how you feel.
If you like someone, you should tell them clearly.
She said that, didn't she?
You need to do things the right way.
Goodbye.
Delicious! This is the best!
I'm so glad. You know, Itsuki.
You are free...
-to stay here as long as you want. -Really?
Ichitaka. You don't need to worry about finding a wife.
Why do we need to get married?
What? You promised me that we would get married.
That is why I came back.
We were elementary school children.
How awful.
I thought about you every day for four years.
Itsuki.
Just kidding.
Of course that's not true.
-Right? -Of course. Think clearly.
-I know, right? -What is going on in his head?
Idiot.
I don't even want to marry her.
Shut up!
Hey!
What are you doing this late?
So you were still awake.
What is with the noise?
What happened here?
In America...
I studied special effects.
Itsuki made this?
Surprise!
Is it my face?
You are really good.
You are amazing, Itsuki!
That was the first time you complimented me.
I will treasure this forever.
I see.
I helped her discover her talent.
The man who lived next to us...
was a professional model maker.
He really influenced my work.
I got most of them from him.
So it wasn't me.
What is this?
I thought you made these.
I have some that I made.
Take a look.
Look!
Amazing.
But she'll get spoiled if I compliment her.
What sort of girl...
makes such a grotesque mask?
That is rude to say.
Compliment me a little.
After our long reunion, you act like I am in your way.
You act like you don't want me to live here.
What should I do?
You are too cruel.
You do everything yourself.
You left without telling me and came back without telling me.
You might act like you want me to compliment you...
but you forgot, didn't you?
You forgot the head you made of me out of clay.
You said that you would treasure it.
If you still have it, show me.
No way. You took that seriously?
You said it before.
We were elementary school children.
See? We are the same.
Dummy.
Wow.
Your old elementary school girlfriend reappears.
What is Itsuki like?
Cute? Sexy?
-Ready and willing? -You're an idiot.
She is just a childhood friend.
This is the worst.
Iori completely misunderstood the situation.
But...
just because she said that doesn't mean she doesn't like you.
You often say the opposite of your feelings too, right?
No way.
It didn't look like that.
You really are an idiot.
Yoshizuki is in the acting club.
Goodbye!
First things first...
I need to explain the situation.
Iori Yoshizuki. You can see how many there are of us.
Will you approve our Iori Fan Club?
-I don't know. -Please don't say that. Please.
-Please. -Please.
Seto!
Let's go!
What? What's happening?
This is the first time I have touched Iori's skin.
It is so soft.
I am getting dizzy.
I'm sorry I ran out all of a sudden.
It's okay.
That is amazing.
You have a fan club.
I don't want one.
Okay.
I need to naturally explain what happened.
But they...
might have thought...
we were a couple.
-I don't want that. -You don't need to act that upset.
Your girlfriend will hate me.
Listen.
Itsuki? Why is she here?
-Let's go. -Ichitaka!
-Still practicing Helping Hands? -Teratani.
I've been showing this girl around the school.
-Icchan! -What?
-What are you doing? -I was bored. I came to hang out.
Sorry about yesterday.
This is going to be even harder to explain.
What can I do?
-You live at Seto's house? -That's right.
I am like a member of the family.
What should I choose?
Isn't Itsuki really hot?
I really want to do her.
What? What are you saying all of a sudden?
Okay.
I'll solve your little Itsuki problem.
You and I can both live happily ever after.
Really?
Watch closely.
This is a high level pickup technique.
Itsuki! I like you!
Let's go on a date!
-What? -Let's go.
Is that your high level pickup technique?
Wait.
Is that really okay, Seto?
Wait. Wait. What is with you?
To best honest, Yoshizuki...
it seems like you misunderstood the situation.
We are just childhood friends.
Right, Itsuki?
-That's right. -Right?
That is what Icchan thinks.
What? What did you say?
What does that mean?
What do I mean?
I like you.
What are you talking about?
Quit with the joking.
Are you an idiot?
What is the point of that lie?
What's the problem?
Why are you so angry?
I'm joking. Joking.
It didn't sound like a joke.
-Of course I'm just joking. -Don't hit me.
Second year Class C students Ichitaka Seto...
and Iori Yoshizuki...
please come immediately to the communications room.
Hear that?
We don't have the time to listen to your jokes.
-Let's go. -But...
Why does she need to make those stupid jokes?
-Was it really a joke? -Of course.
She enjoys teasing me.
I see.
You don't understand her at all.
You've got it wrong.
You two are close enough to get into fights.
But...
I was a little surprised.
You spoke pretty harshly to her.
I was worried that you might have hurt her feelings.
But since it was you, it seems she is fine.
Let's go. Mr Hiromi will get mad.
Right.
Would anyone have been hurt by what I said?
I need to apologise to her later.
Pervert!
What was that?
She seems to be doing well.
Right.
Listen.
There is a party at school tomorrow.
Do you want to come?
There is free food.
Is that alright?
Yes. Everyone will be out of uniform. No one will know.
Are you trying to get on my good side?
I guess.
I got you.
I love parties. I'll dress up really nice.
-It is at ten. Don't oversleep. -Got it!
She's late.
It's two.
Hello mother. Is Itsuki there?
Don't you know?
Itsuki isn't here.
I am on the other line. I need to go.
Wait.
That's it?
She's gone?
What does that mean?
Good luck.
Sorry for the wait.
Here she is!
Do I really need to wear this?
It's fine. It's tradition.
-Come on. -Sorry, sorry.
No good. Itsuki isn't here.
I see.
She'll come before your performance.
Right.
"Welcome party for first year students"
Hey, hey!
Are you nervous?
No.
I guess you have bigger things to be nervous about.
Not really.
I guess this is the end of Team I"s.
I sort of...
feel sad about that.
That's right.
This is the last time...
I will be alone with Iori like this.
We need to have a great performance.
Next...
is the Helping Hands performance...
of Year 2 Class C.
Okay. Let's go.
Iori's scent.
Iori's warmth.
We will never...
be this close again.
You did great. That was the best.
You were the only one who laughed.
Right. Let's have a little celebration.
-I'll treat you to sushi. -What? Really?
That's great! I want to go!
Sushi. Sushi.
You two need to eat sushi in the same way.
I like you.
-The spinning one. -Spinning one?
What are you doing? Come on.
Sorry.
I need to go home.
What am I doing? Idiot.
I'm tossing aside my precious time with Iori.
Why?
"Icchan, goodbye. Itsuki"
It's my fault.
I hurt her feelings.
Itsuki.
What?
You.
What is this?
Joke. Joke.
Let's see.
Did you panic when you thought that I was gone?
-So cute. -What?
What is that?
-Of course not. -I moved over there.
Right. Come help me!
What is with you?
Hurry up.
Fine.
What is with you?
I have two rooms.
It is really clean.
I don't care.
My thoughts swell up and grow.
Chests swell up and grow.
The rainy season is cruel to virgins.
We can only bathe in our frustrated desires.
Summer arrives.
It's hot.
Yes.
Well? What do you want?
Right. I am going to buy an air conditioner.
I want you to carry it.
What? Why me? I don't want to.
What? Why?
-Carry the air conditioner. -No.
-It's hot. -Please.
-Please! -No!
-You have to! -No!
Sorry!
You didn't win. Too bad.
-Next person. -I really want that Izu trip.
-Good luck. -That's impossible.
We have a winner!
Two tickets to an all expenses paid trip to Izu!
-Thank you! -Congratulations!
-I did it, Icchan. -No way.
This is going to be so much fun.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
You need to use these by the day after tomorrow.
Those were just tickets someone didn't want.
I can't wait to go.
Do you remember?
In elementary school, we went to the sea together.
We will be able to relive that.
I never said I was going.
The one thing that has changed...
is that we are now all grown up.
The pleasures of adulthood might be waiting at night.
Adulthood?
I am not going. Go with someone else.
Someone else?
I don't know anyone here except you.
Ichitaka!
Itsuki!
-Hey. -Hey.
-What are you doing here? -I was heading toward your place.
I wanted the four of us to plan a summer vacation.
Four?
-Hello. -Hello.
Listen.
I only have two or three free days after the day after tomorrow.
You aren't doing anything, Ichitaka.
How about you, Itsuki?
The day after tomorrow?
Sorry.
She just won vacation tickets.
It is the same day. Too bad.
-Where are you going? -Izu.
Seriously?
This is perfect.
You should go with him, Iori. I am really busy.
What?
-Me and Seto? -Yes.
-Here. -Darn.
It can't be helped.
You should go, Yoshizuki.
-Come here. -What?
What are you thinking?
Icchan.
This isn't my time, is it?
She is going to say no.
Seto.
We rarely have this chance. Shall we go?
What?
No way!
It was true.
Iori.
I love you.
Welcome.
This is your room.
What?
The futon?
Enjoy your stay.
It is like she is telling us...
to do it.
Iori looks uncomfortable.
What should I do?
This is no good.
What?
Well.
This is fine as is.
I'll go take a shower.
Shower?
Seriously?
Is this seriously happening?
Is this one of my usual fantasies? Am I dreaming?
No. This is reality.
This is bad. This is really bad.
Wait.
Just think calmly.
Actually...
I am really lucky!
But...
I never expected to get this far without telling her my feelings.
Do girls think...
the same way as boys?
This was too easy.
Seto.
I am sorry...
to keep you waiting.
Alright!
-Mission accomplished! -Mission accomplished!
What is happening?
-We did it! -The truth is...
that my relative runs this lodge.
It is a miracle.
Sorry.
-Yay! -Yay!
So I was dreaming.
It was a nightmare.
I'm going in!
Itsuki is so cute.
Are you still mad at me?
We are in paradise!
It is bad luck to look like that here.
I was a little relieved.
This is easier than us being alone.
Okay.
I'll give you a sign tonight.
We won't have this chance again.
We need to tell them how we feel and seal the deal.
What?
Itsuki!
Ridiculous.
Seto.
-Yoshizuki. -I am going in.
I don't...
need Teratani's push anymore.
Even if I have no guarantees.
Iori.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Ring. Ring.
The crossing gate lifted.
The white woman...
slowly...
slowly approached them.
And then...
she passed them.
Were you the ones who killed me?
-That was great. -The end.
Any others?
Let's test our courage.
There is a famous haunted spot near here.
That sounds great. Let's go.
-Icchan, come on. -Let's go, Ichitaka.
Are you an idiot?
I'll pass. Pass.
What is that?
Let's leave the cowards here, Itsuki.
Coward!
I guess I'll go.
Will you come with me?
Yes.
Sorry.
I really don't like these things.
Can I stay close to you?
Yes.
When we walk back...
I hope I have my arm around her.
What was that?
There were no ghosts.
This wasn't scary at all.
Sorry.
This actually isn't haunted.
Will he tell her how he feels?
I wanted Ichitaka and I to be alone with you girls.
Itsuki.
Yes?
I like you.
I really like you. Please go out with me.
I lied to my parents.
I told them that I was going with all female friends.
My parents really worry.
I had to say that.
But I don't regret that.
This is unexpected.
I actually feel calm.
Actually...
my head is blank.
In these moments...
there is no way to prepare yourself.
I am really glad that I came here.
Yoshizuki.
Please listen to me calmly.
I have always...
liked you.
