Ren-chan, you've changed recently.
You think so?
Yeah. You've become more expressive.
Did you get yourself a boyfriend?
Boy...friend?
I'm really glad that you're all right.
I-I-I-I don't! I don't have a boyfriend...
Didn't you just think of someone?
- I didn't! - Really?
But, when you're in love, everyday will be so fun, right?
Well... I'm not sure myself.
There is no cure for love.
Yes.
Excuse me.
[Interrelationship of Identical Twins' Memories]

Ren and Riko.
Love, huh?

[In the World Which is Neither White nor Black, Panda Laughs]
[A burning FLAME of love inside Ren] [A swirling FLAME of doubts in the selection of sports representatives]
She secured her overall title in the previous World Championship.
- I'm back! - A top athlete both in her accomplishment as well as popularity.
She's a tenacious climber who has a never-give-up spirit.
She's invincible at the moment.
- What happened? - Ren!
Speed climbing athlete, Miyazawa Sanae, will be holding a press conference.
Her muscle strength is no joke.
Miyazawa Sanae?
Just what is she going to announce?
Miyazawa Sanae... Miyazawa Sanae...
- It seems that Miyazawa-senshu has arrived. - She showed up!
Did she get injured?
She broke her leg so badly.
Thank you for coming here despite your busy schedules.
In the World Speed Climbing Championship that will be held in Japan next month,
Miyazawa Sanae will not participate.
Ah! It's Sanae-chan!
What? Ren, do you know her?
Yes, in junior high.
We went to the same school.
101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110…
- Amazing! We've come this far. - Amazing!
You're so cool, Ren-chan! You were friends with Miyaza Sanae?
Ah, No! We weren't that close.
I think you would most likely defend the title, and the expectations from fans and staff were also very high.
The reason for your withdrawal, is it because of the leg injury?
The rope...
The rope suddenly broke...
Someone...
tried to kill me!
That's the only thing I could think of!
- What's wrong, Sanae? - I was almost killed by someone!
Such a strong rope can't be broken so easily.
Sanae!
Please, let me talk to you one more time.
Why are you here, Coach Isogai?
Sanae, please...
- You cut the rope, didn't you? - It wasn't me!
- Please... - Was it because I fired you?
- You're wrong! - Get lost! I hate you!
Wow, this has turned into such a terrible thing.
Wow, the situation has become incredibly complicated.
Well, I could tell right away.
It's a guy problem.
That Sanae girl must've had a special relationship with the guy who just rushed in!
Here it is! A woman's instinct!
Yoshie-san's hunches are always correct.
You mean they were dating?
Owh, that's awful.
Pancakes!
Ah, it's nothing. Excuse me...
[Please pay immediately. Last month's contract cost hasn't been paid, so please kindly check the following link before 11pm]
It's a guy, right?
Ren, you can't pull the wool over my eyes.
You got yourself a boyfriend, didn't you?
Um... it's not like that...
We're not dating or anything right now...
A cool guy like him wouldn't like someone like me.
Maybe, he's just a handsome guy who enjoys watching me being fat slowly...
by buying me pancakes or something like that.
But, you like him, don't you?
Yes...
What is he like? What's his name?
It's Morishima Naoki-san...
What a nice name...
When will you confess to him?
I could never do that...
He's so popular. He must have a girlfriend.
I'm sure he doesn't have any feelings for someone like me...
Ren, if you only think about the worst-case scenario,
you will never be happy.
It's okay.
Being the only person who experiences happiness, I don't want that.
Do you feel uneasy because of Riko-chan?
Ren!
Please don't hold back! You also deserve happiness!
You can like someone!
I'm sure Riko-chan would agree with me.
Just gather up your courage,
and try to tell that guy everything about you.
- What? - Yeah.
But, if he turns out to be a narrow-minded jerk who can't accept your past...
even after he listens to your story,
you can just dump him first!
There might have been another power added from the outside.
Morishima Naoki...
She's super cute, just like a model. Her hair also looks so smooth.
Anyway, she's the substitute for Miyazawa Sanae.
- Is she? - Yeah.
Her ex-coach might be the one who cut the rope.
Isn't that mean?
Miyazawa Sanae has so many fans...
But still, Kitazato is so cute.
Let's just support her, Akari-chan!
- Here you go again! - Look, it's like a model contest with Colina.
Oh, there's an interview.
If Kitazato Akari is her opponent, then she could crush her easily.
Right, Naoki?
I'm not interested.
- Really? - Yeah.
But she's pretty...
- Look, isn't she really pretty? - She is...
[Sajima Azusa]
[I just got out of work. How are you, Naoki?] [Can we meet up tonight? Please contact me]
Did you know?
Some of the stars you see right now...
are actually dead.
Just like some stars that are connected to form a constellation,
people also...
become meaningful creatures by being connected to each other.
Don't you think so?
This is our next project.
Unless someone intentionally cut it,
such a strong rope couldn't be broken just like that!
Is this accident caused by equipment failure or is it carefully planned by someone?
There are various speculations going around.
Is there...
any gray area hidden in this case?
Please investigate it.
Then, you should also be able to see the truth.
All right, Mr. No Compliance.
[Athlete Miyazawa Sanae is injured] [Was the accident a trap caused by jealousy?]
This finally became a hot topic.
Isn't the audience more interested in Miyazawa Sanae's injuries than the competition itself?
The man who came in the middle of the conference is Isogai Makoto.
He was suddenly dismissed from his position as Miyazawa's coach three days ago.
He's a famous coach who raised many famous players, right?
Yes. But his method was too strict, it often created a problem.
It would be interesting if the cause of his dismissal was power harassment.
Even at the conference, Miyazawa Sanae looked so scared...
It's quite possible.
Isogai sought revenge after getting fired,
by cutting off Miyazawa Sanae's rope?
Other than Isogai's revenge theory,
people speculate that Miyazawa Sanae was actually overwhelmed.
It is said that the association only wanted the players they liked to represent the country.
Various rumors are spreading around, it's being debated online now.
Shall we dig deeper?
Well, we can do that, but we have no evidence at all.
Even if we contact the selection committee, they won't tell us anything.
Don't worry. Just leave it to me.
Miyazawa Sanae is hospitalized.
Coach Isogai hasn't gone out of his house.
What are you trying to do?
I have interesting information about Miyazawa Sanae.
I'll go to Kitazato Akari's public practice session first. Wanna come?
Ah, today, I can't.
Why? You have a date?
One more question, and I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
Here comes the topic! If you say so, I have nothing to say.
Don't mind the reporters, just do what you usually do.
Okay.
Colina is here!
It's really unfortunate that that incident happened to Miyazawa-senshu.
Let's do our best!
Looking forward!
Spying on us?
We just came to give our support.
Please don't make such a scary face.
Everyone, it's really unfortunate that that accident occurred.
But, we're here to support Kitazato-senshu...
Shikano-san...
I'm really sorry!
Today's public practice session will be canceled.
- What? - You can't do that!
We have waited here for so long.
Hey!
It's Miss Panda!
- What are you doing?! - Ready, go!
Don't mess around!
Hey!
- What's my time? - It's 7,99 seconds.
That's disappointing~
Wow, it's really high!
If you fall from such a height, you'll be badly hurt.
Hey! Kitazato Akari-san.
It's you, right?
The one who cut Miyazawa Sanae's rope.
What are you talking about? Get out of here right now!
Where are the security guards?
Because...
if Miyazawa Sanae gets injured, the one who will get the most benefit is you.
After she was injured,
you became the player who represents Japan.
Why would I do such a thing?!
Then, let me see if you really are the fastest.
Miyazawa Sanae's best record is 7,12 seconds.
Can you beat it?
What's the matter? Are you afraid of losing?
Are you afraid?
Akari.
I'll be fine.
6,03 seconds!
Kitazato-senshu, please give us a few words.
Huh? Miss Panda is gone!
Miss Panda!
Come in.
Um... excuse me.
Um...
I...I am Kawada Ren.
Kawada?
Ren-chan?
From the junior high?
I'm glad... you still remember me.
How many years has it been? Did you come to visit me?
Yeah.
I saw you on TV, Sanae-chan.
I happened to be near the hospital, so I decided to come.
Um...
It's nothing special...
Please accept these.
I'm not joking when I said, "Nothing special."
Huh? Where's the other one?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Ren-chan, were you this funny?
Am I funny?
Well, I played with Riko-chan a lot, so I knew her well.
But, I didn't really talk to you much.
Do you still play Go?
Yeah. You can say that.
You were really amazing. People even called you a genius girl.
Right now, I'm not that good...
If Riko-chan was still alive, she would have become an adult like you.
Yeah.
Ah, sorry.
Your friend?
- Shall I come back later? - Don't. I'm about to leave now.
- Don't mind me. - Why? You can take your time.
I can't. The longer I stay here, the longer it will take for the injury to heal.
Rather, it may get worse.
Excuse me.
I forgot my scarf!
See you.
Your friend is funny.
Coach Shikano.
If Riko-chan was still alive, she would have become an adult like you.
Mama...
Riko...
Please donate! We request your cooperation.
[Sajima Azusa]
Morishima-san?
Kawada-san.
Mo-Morishima-san!
You're too close!
Sorry... I'm late.
Ah! Sanae-chan's autograph...
You forgot to ask her?
I'm sorry...
What did I come there for...
It's okay. Sorry for asking too much. Don't worry.
I'm sorry...
Wh-wh-what's the matter?
You look so pale. Did something happen?
Nothing! Thank you for your concern.
If something is troubling you, you can always talk to me.
Even if I look like this, I'll become a psychiatrist in the future.
May I?
But... Morishima-san...
"Morishima-san" sounds too formal, can you stop calling me that?
Call me Naoki.
Na...Na-Na-Na-Na-Naoki?!
You don't want to?
I do... I will call you that.
I'm going to call you by that name.
Well... then...
You can call me...
Re...
Re-Re-Re-Ren!
Please.
Okay, Ren.
Ren?!
Well, you told me to call you Ren.
I... I did... Sorry.
Um, but... now that we call each other by our first names,
somehow, it feels like...
Do you feel uneasy because of Riko-chan?
Just gather up your courage,
and try to tell that guy everything about you.
Um...
I...I'll get straight to the point...
I want to tell you something.
If you're okay with me, you can talk it out.
Recently...
My old memories...
have been flashing on my head.
What memories?
Past traumas and flashbacks...
are the things that can be overcome...
by putting them into words.
Ten years ago...
I went camping...
with my mother and my twin sister, Riko.
At the time…
the bungalow we were staying at was set on fire by someone.
We tried to escape as soon as possible, but the pillar fell down in front of us.
And then...
I got too scared...
I abandoned Riko.
Why didn't I go to help Rico at that time?
Why was I the only one...
I've regretted it ever since.
Thanks to Kadota-sensei's treatment,
I've calmed myself down a little bit.
But, recently...
It's... It's bothersome, isn't it?
Suddenly talking about such a heavy topic.
I'm sorry.
I'm just like you.
Huh?
I lost my father...
whom I really loved.
This panda will always protect you.
The body found was identified as Morishima Tetsuya-san.
The pain and suffering we experienced in the past,
we can never forget them no matter how much time has passed.
That's why we have to remove the cause.
Rest assured.
Because we're the same, Ren.
Shall we go eat some pancakes?
Yes.
Excuse me, can you please tell us about your relationship with Miyazawa-senshu?
I'm sorry for keeping our relationship a secret.
She'd been suffering from power harassment by Coach Isogai for some time...
- Okay, back to studio! - While supporting her, we developed a romantic relationship.
Alright!
Aside from discovering that these two are in love,
we also found out that Coach Shikano has just replaced Coach Isogai...
as the head coach of the Japanese national team.
Showing this material at this timing...
Your method is still as vulgar as ever, Kamishiro-san.
Right?
Some people are attacking Miyazawa Sanae.
Some other are supporting the couple.
Everyone's reaction is different.
Right?
She's injured because she's going out with her coach.
They have no correlation! By your logic, all athletes will not be able to fall in love.
Namiki-san, don't wander around, calm down!
Shut up! Just watch the TV!
- You need to calm down! - Good afternoon!
- Welcome! - Oh, Kaede-chan!
- Please play Go with me. - Come on.
Let's continue our previous game. Let's sit down.
Let's play.
- I won't go easy on you. - Me neither.
Let's decide who's the best between us.
She seems to have fitted in well.
Yes, it looks like she would get along well with our Ren.
They just love Go.
Huh! Miss Panda!
- Panda Channel! - Panda-sama!
[Scheduled to broadcast tonight] [Let's make things as clear as black and white]
Ah! I can't wait for tonight!
- She seems to like Miss Panda more than Go. - Yeah.
Eh, what will she do?
PANDA!
Panda Channel!
Does everyone make things as clear as black and white?
This is Panda~!
It's open...
I came here today to defeat the bad guy...
who's been playing innocent!
I found a wolf wearing a sheep's clothing!
Akari!
Hey!
You should try to experience the same thing as Miyazawa Sanae.
Don't!
[End of broadcast] [See you]
It's messed up!
On what basis did Miss Panda come to the conclusion that Kitazato Akari is the culprit?
How would I know that?
The viewers are upset.
There are many negative reactions about Miss Panda's action this time.
Netizens may be able to reveal the identity of Miss Panda.
It's starting again!
Oh, over here...
Good morning~!
I came here because one of the person who have become the most talked about topics right now,
is staying at this hotel.
Why is she carefreely...
I want to get in right away.
Is she going to pull a prank on someone asleep?
It doesn't seem to be the right room. Next.
Let's go to the next room.
It doesn't seem to be the right room either.
Let's go to the next room.
This corridor...
I think I recognize it.
Kamishiro-san?
I'm going to open it.
It opens!
I heard someone talking.
I didn't expect Miss Panda to hurt her.
Thank you, Miss Panda!
I had injured Miyazawa Sanae, so please keep your promise.
Of course.
You will be given 100 million yen and become the next head coach...
of the Slovenia national team.
Coach Shikano!
What's that supposed to mean?
- What's with you? - Please tell me.
The one who injured Miyazawa Sanae, is it you?
Hey, what are you recording?
Don't record me!
It's ended?
Would you like to know when you got exposed?
When Miss Panda came to provoke Kitazato-senshu.
That's when I found out.
The time displayed back then was fake.
That's the trap I'd set for you.
A trap?
The athlete beat her personal record.
As a coach you should have been pleased.
But you clearly looked so upset.
Mirkovic-san... you're no different.
At that time, you gave Shikano-san a quick look.
Your eyes were speaking.
"This isn't what I want."
But then, something unexpected happened.
Miss Panda cut off Kitazato-senshu's rope.
I did!
I cut it off thoroughly.
But, that was also a trap to keep you off guard.
Kitazato-senshu is also our accomplice.
Do you have anything to say?
We will listen to it.
After that, we'll beat the shit out of you.
Miyazawa Sanae was too naive.
She fell for me right away.
She listened to me well.
"Would you like to aim for a gold medal together?"
She fired Isogai immediately after hearing my whisper.
Mirko is beautiful and also strong.
What the heck?
So scary! There's a hag!
A hag? How dare you!
Panda Chop!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Keeper-san!
You know, pandas have to keep eating bamboo every single day in order to survive.
Bamboo has less nutrients and is hard to digest.
It's a very tough life.
The same goes for athletes.
I think they also have to endure severe training every day and feel the pain and difficulties.
They do their best in order to survive.
As someone who watches their struggles every day,
you could injure your athlete just like that, huh?
Pandas love to act alone,
so we never sacrifice a friend in order to save ourselves!
Wait.. wait a minute!
If you can keep silent about this,
I'll give you half the reward!
So, please let it slide.
This guy is as black as ink.
It's beyond help.
I didn't want to help him to begin with.
Damn it!
Alright!
So heavy!
What a rude thing to say to a girl!
It's over, Keeper-san.
Yeah. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Panda.
Oh no! There's someone there!
Over here.
Hey, wait! Miss Panda!
Like hell I would~!
Mom... Get me out of here!
Mom...
Get me out of here!
Are you okay?
Huh?
What's wrong with me?
We should run away!
Keeper-san.
Wait for me!
Damn it!
[Making Things in the Sport Climbing World as Clear as Black and White]
Just like insects moving toward lights,
gray humans with malicious intentions...
always gather around those who emit lights.
You really...
did well this time.
To reveal humans hidden in the gray areas,
I will do anything!
He's become more and more like you...
Is that so?
Then you will go back to Coach Isogai?
Yeah.
He faced so much trouble because of me.
And also, for those whom I've troubled a lot,
I will definitely win the next world championship.
I'll cheer you on.
Ren-chan, you haven't given up either, have you?
On becoming the best Go player in Japan.
What?
When we were in junior high, Riko-chan used to say that.
She said you would be the best in Japan.
Riko did?
Yeah.
I think Riko-chan would definitely cheer for you.
[ "Success" Talisman]
Damn it!
I was only one step closer to them!
Just wait and see, Azusa.
Next time, I'll catch Miss Panda and find out who she is!
Azusa-chan, are you listening?
Azusa-chan!
Ah, right.
Sorry.
Azusa, I think the soundboard for tomorrow's recording is up, let's go check it out.
Okay. Let's go.
Hey!
[Morishima Naoki]
- Please continue. - But...
- What's going on? - Please explain!
Yes!
Come in!
Excuse me.
Morishima.
What brings you here?
Kadota-sensei.
There's something I want to ask you.
Kawada Ren...
is not Ren, is she?
