00:10.470 --> 00:12.340
It was all pointless.

00:13.780 --> 00:15.230
It's not pointless!

00:15.230 --> 00:17.620
I know you don't really want to quit!

00:19.070 --> 00:20.470
What about you?

00:20.790 --> 00:25.100
You gave up your dreams to write manga 
and ended up an office worker.

02:15.980 --> 02:17.430
Hmm...

02:18.010 --> 02:22.290
The character writing's 
still a little weak.

02:29.820 --> 02:30.960
Hello?

02:30.960 --> 02:32.700
<i>How are you doing, Mi-chan?</i>

02:33.310 --> 02:35.430
<i>Oh, it's just you, Dad.</i>

02:35.430 --> 02:37.670
What do you mean, "Oh"?

02:37.670 --> 02:39.620
You're making your dad sad!

02:39.620 --> 02:41.050
Sorry, sorry.

02:41.050 --> 02:43.340
I was just working, so...

02:43.340 --> 02:45.120
<i>But it's so late.</i>

02:45.120 --> 02:47.060
Are you overdoing it?

02:47.060 --> 02:49.190
Are you eating decent meals?

02:49.190 --> 02:51.930
I'm sure editing is no easy job.

02:51.930 --> 02:55.890
Especially with scary superiors or 
manga writers who are hard to work with—

02:58.380 --> 02:59.910
<i>You're choking!</i>

02:59.910 --> 03:02.150
<i>Calm down, and slow your words a bit.</i>

03:03.970 --> 03:08.330
<i>Man, I've been coughing a lot lately.</i>

03:08.910 --> 03:11.540
<i>Maybe I'm getting old.</i>

03:12.120 --> 03:13.320
Yes, yes.

03:13.320 --> 03:15.390
So? Why did you call me?

03:15.390 --> 03:18.140
<i>Well, I don't really have 
a reason or anything...</i>

03:18.490 --> 03:20.170
<i>Oh, that's right.</i>

03:20.170 --> 03:21.530
<i>Have you heard, Mi-chan?</i>

03:22.330 --> 03:23.550
<i>Heard what?</i>

03:23.550 --> 03:25.110
About Kizuki-kun.

03:26.080 --> 03:27.830
<i>What about him?</i>

03:29.170 --> 03:32.170
I heard from his mom that...

03:32.170 --> 03:34.620
<i>He quit his job.</i>

03:34.620 --> 03:35.640
What?

03:40.800 --> 03:43.930
From: Mitsuman Swimming School

03:40.800 --> 03:43.930
Subject: Inquiring about an interview.

03:47.020 --> 03:49.560
<b>Koigahama City
Happe Park (Kugenuma Exercise Park)</b>

03:50.420 --> 03:54.570
Thanks so much for scheduling 
this appointment, Nishino-san.

03:54.570 --> 03:58.700
Your work can be more convincing 
when you go out and do some research!

03:58.970 --> 03:59.970
Yeah!

04:04.200 --> 04:05.810
Thank you for this opportunity.

04:05.810 --> 04:07.540
I'll show you around.

04:09.100 --> 04:10.990
This place hasn't changed...

04:12.020 --> 04:14.770
Have you known 
about this place for a while?

04:14.770 --> 04:17.810
This is the place my childhood 
friend used to swim.

04:17.810 --> 04:19.220
Is that so?

04:20.170 --> 04:23.040
<i>I heard from his mom that...</i>

04:28.390 --> 04:29.500
Right this way.

04:33.840 --> 04:35.480
Whoa.

04:35.480 --> 04:37.720
What a big pool.

04:39.050 --> 04:44.220
The athlete you'll be 
interviewing is over there.

04:44.630 --> 04:46.180
Thank you very much.

04:49.720 --> 04:51.120
<i>Why?</i>

06:14.900 --> 06:16.330
Mizuho?

06:24.920 --> 06:28.100
Yes, something like that.

06:28.900 --> 06:31.130
This is great research material.

06:31.130 --> 06:33.260
I'm glad to hear that.

06:36.900 --> 06:38.140
Hazawa-san?

06:38.140 --> 06:40.440
Oh, I'm sorry.

06:41.490 --> 06:42.500
But you know...

06:42.500 --> 06:47.630
I took a long hiatus from swimming, 
so my information could be a bit outdated.

06:47.630 --> 06:49.530
Is that so?

06:52.320 --> 06:54.120
It's because of my shoulder injury.

06:54.120 --> 06:57.490
Because of that, I had to completely 
step away from swimming at one point.

06:57.990 --> 07:02.130
In desperation, I ended up pushing away 
the people who supported me.

07:09.900 --> 07:13.530
But I've made the decision 
to stop running away.

07:14.180 --> 07:16.000
And now I'm back.

07:16.000 --> 07:17.400
I even quit my job.

07:17.900 --> 07:19.370
<i>Kizuki...</i>

07:19.370 --> 07:21.230
<i>He did that so he could 
go back to swimming.</i>

07:23.260 --> 07:26.800
That's a very serious commitment.

07:26.800 --> 07:28.940
Did you have any doubts?

07:29.240 --> 07:30.240
I did.

07:31.120 --> 07:33.800
I know it's a reckless challenge.

07:35.250 --> 07:36.250
But...

07:36.950 --> 07:38.250
I want...

07:38.640 --> 07:40.700
A specific person to see me again.

07:48.050 --> 07:51.190
Well, his shoulder isn't 
in tiptop shape just yet!

07:51.190 --> 07:53.010
I'll heal. I guarantee it.

07:55.890 --> 07:57.490
Don't slow down!

08:02.200 --> 08:04.020
So cool!

08:04.640 --> 08:08.400
<i>Kizuki really shines when he's swimming.</i>

08:14.790 --> 08:16.950
You're regaining your strength.

08:21.290 --> 08:23.690
Thank you for everything today.

08:23.690 --> 08:25.970
I was able to get some great references.

08:25.970 --> 08:27.070
Don't mention it.

08:27.070 --> 08:28.950
As long as it can help 
create something amazing.

08:29.580 --> 08:33.940
Thanks to Hazawa-san, I think I have 
a solid idea for the main character.

08:33.940 --> 08:35.730
I'm glad to hear that.

08:37.430 --> 08:39.760
Is... Is something wrong?

08:40.310 --> 08:43.910
Is Hazawa-san that childhood 
friend you mentioned earlier?

08:43.910 --> 08:45.010
The one who swam.

08:45.010 --> 08:46.160
What?!

08:46.820 --> 08:49.130
I was right!

08:49.130 --> 08:51.550
Are you a psychic, Kawaguchi-san?!

08:51.550 --> 08:54.450
So you didn't know that 
he's been swimming again.

08:54.780 --> 08:55.960
Yes...

08:55.960 --> 08:58.330
He should have told me.

09:02.380 --> 09:05.520
So he's your adolescence.

09:05.520 --> 09:06.340
What?!

09:06.640 --> 09:08.570
That's not...

09:09.850 --> 09:10.840
Mizuho!

09:11.660 --> 09:12.840
Kizuki?

09:16.920 --> 09:17.840
I wanted to see you.

09:17.840 --> 09:18.780
What?

09:19.630 --> 09:20.710
Nishino-san.

09:23.980 --> 09:27.820
Right now, I... have all
 these ideas in my head!

09:27.820 --> 09:29.480
I'm going home to work on a draft!

09:29.480 --> 09:32.350
Oh, uh, all right.

09:32.350 --> 09:34.690
I'll be heading out first!

09:38.760 --> 09:39.910
Sorry, Mizuho!

09:39.910 --> 09:40.840
What?

09:40.840 --> 09:42.940
I kept running away 
for the past three years.

09:42.940 --> 09:45.340
And I selfishly hurt you.

09:45.680 --> 09:46.970
I'm really sorry!

09:48.520 --> 09:50.340
It surprised me, you know?

09:50.340 --> 09:52.720
Because I didn't think I'd see you here.

09:53.540 --> 09:55.260
Are you still mad?

09:55.260 --> 09:58.450
I'm mad. At myself.

09:59.500 --> 10:03.240
I didn't try to understand you at all.

10:03.870 --> 10:07.800
I can't believe I told you "Don't give up" 
when you were suffering so much.

10:07.800 --> 10:11.530
All I could say was "Are you okay?" 
and kept cornering you.

10:11.530 --> 10:12.650
You're wrong!

10:14.930 --> 10:19.900
Because you encouraged me back then, 
I was able to come back again.

10:20.500 --> 10:21.610
Kizuki...

10:21.610 --> 10:23.420
Mizuho. I...

10:23.420 --> 10:25.620
I'm going to aim to be 
a swimming athlete once more.

10:26.770 --> 10:30.270
I don't know if I can ever
achieve my peak condition again.

10:30.730 --> 10:33.870
But I want to take back the things I lost.

10:33.870 --> 10:36.450
Both swimming and you, Mizuho.

10:36.450 --> 10:37.710
Kizuki...

10:39.810 --> 10:43.620
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

10:51.850 --> 10:54.680
<i>I'm going to take a stand once more!</i>

10:52.400 --> 10:57.030
I'm going to take
a stand once more!

10:57.030 --> 10:59.580
<i>I can see that the interview 
was useful, but...</i>

11:00.780 --> 11:02.410
<i>Why?!</i>

11:05.080 --> 11:08.140
Senpai. You're being so loud.

11:08.140 --> 11:09.640
Oh, sorry.

11:09.640 --> 11:12.800
It's been bugging me so much 
that I lost my composure.

11:12.800 --> 11:16.390
Then how about you help me out 
a bit for a change of pace?

11:16.390 --> 11:17.610
What?

11:17.610 --> 11:19.460
Here, take a look.

11:19.460 --> 11:21.050
Let me see.

11:21.370 --> 11:23.150
Wait, is this...?

11:23.560 --> 11:26.840
I'm stuck on what to do next.

11:26.840 --> 11:29.560
The two characters are about to confess.

11:30.040 --> 11:32.230
Let's go out.

11:32.230 --> 11:33.730
Shin...

11:33.730 --> 11:35.240
But Shin, you...

11:35.240 --> 11:39.490
Let me see if I still like you, Mizuho.

11:45.040 --> 11:48.150
I want to take back the things I lost.

11:48.150 --> 11:50.830
Both swimming and you, Mizuho.

11:50.830 --> 11:52.020
Kizuki...

11:54.130 --> 11:57.940
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

12:02.070 --> 12:04.300
<i>I need to think these things through, too.</i>

12:05.980 --> 12:08.480
Is something still bugging you?

12:13.380 --> 12:14.830
Hey, Sakura.

12:15.360 --> 12:16.570
Yes?

12:16.570 --> 12:18.730
What would you do in this case?

12:18.730 --> 12:19.620
What if...

12:19.620 --> 12:20.770
Nishino-san!

12:21.350 --> 12:23.850
You have a visitor 
waiting over at reception.

12:24.730 --> 12:26.750
Oh, thank you.

12:27.160 --> 12:29.780
But I don't think 
I have any appointments.

12:30.080 --> 12:31.420
Hmm...

12:31.420 --> 12:33.310
They said their name is Kashiwagi-san.

12:33.310 --> 12:35.090
What?! Kashiwagi?

12:35.090 --> 12:37.910
Yeah. Apparently, he's quite a looker.

12:37.910 --> 12:39.150
He's hot?!

12:39.580 --> 12:41.810
What's your relationship with this guy?

12:49.250 --> 12:50.880
Ah! Mizuho!

12:50.880 --> 12:53.780
Kai! What are you doing here?

12:53.780 --> 12:55.830
I came to see you, Mizuho.

12:55.830 --> 12:56.730
So?

12:56.730 --> 13:00.250
Wanna quit your job and marry me?

13:00.250 --> 13:02.070
What a handsome high schooler.

13:02.070 --> 13:04.460
Marriage? How cute!

13:04.460 --> 13:06.650
Why's it always Nishino-senpai!

13:06.650 --> 13:08.500
No way I'm doing that, idiot.

13:08.620 --> 13:11.620
Kai as a

13:08.620 --> 13:11.620
kid

13:08.620 --> 13:11.620
Shin's younger brother

13:09.050 --> 13:11.620
Just marry me already 
and come live with us!

13:13.570 --> 13:16.880
You're so childish on the inside 
after all this time.

13:18.730 --> 13:20.720
Hey, are there manga artists here?

13:20.720 --> 13:21.510
There are not!

13:21.790 --> 13:22.500
Wait.

13:22.500 --> 13:24.470
What about school, Kai?

13:24.890 --> 13:26.550
About that...

13:29.040 --> 13:32.760
I'm visiting colleges for 
their open houses today.

13:32.760 --> 13:36.360
So, here.

13:36.360 --> 13:39.190
Take this to my workaholic brother.

13:39.620 --> 13:41.410
What? To Shin? Why?

13:41.410 --> 13:43.990
He's out sick with a cold right now.

13:43.990 --> 13:46.200
So Mom made me bring all those things.

13:46.470 --> 13:49.440
But I'm busy applying to schools
and it'd be bad for me to catch a cold.

13:49.920 --> 13:51.510
Which is why I'm leaving it to you!

13:51.510 --> 13:53.270
W-Wait, Kai!

13:53.270 --> 13:55.430
You can't just dump this on me.

13:55.430 --> 13:56.430
Why?

13:59.780 --> 14:01.270
Why would it bother you?

14:02.080 --> 14:03.530
Because...

14:04.610 --> 14:07.110
Did something happen 
between you and Shin?

14:08.400 --> 14:10.220
N-Nothing like that...

14:10.220 --> 14:11.710
Huh...

14:11.710 --> 14:13.920
If this is something that 
makes you drag on like this,

14:13.920 --> 14:16.730
you should just choose me already!

14:17.280 --> 14:18.190
Ugh...

14:18.730 --> 14:20.870
If nothing's up, then 
you can pass it on to him.

14:20.870 --> 14:22.410
Then I'm leaving it to you!

14:22.410 --> 14:23.740
Hey!

14:54.140 --> 15:00.900
Nishino

14:57.610 --> 14:58.580
Mizuho!

14:58.580 --> 14:59.750
Oh. Shin!

14:59.750 --> 15:00.900
Perfect timing.

15:01.600 --> 15:03.900
Let's reschedule today's plans 
for another day.

15:03.900 --> 15:04.780
What?

15:04.780 --> 15:07.610
Kizuki had an asthma attack.

15:08.320 --> 15:09.980
Relay that to the others, okay?

15:10.780 --> 15:12.970
I'm going to check on Kizuki!

15:14.380 --> 15:15.390
Ah...

15:21.370 --> 15:24.800
<i>Mizuho... What am I to you?</i>

15:31.090 --> 15:32.070
What is it?

15:32.070 --> 15:33.280
So loud...

15:34.410 --> 15:35.590
Mizuho?

15:44.970 --> 15:46.280
What's wrong?

15:47.250 --> 15:49.450
Did you fight with Kizuki?

15:50.030 --> 15:51.450
Shin...

15:51.450 --> 15:54.890
Congrats on making it 
into To-Ou University!

15:59.210 --> 16:01.540
I'm so happy for you!

16:01.950 --> 16:04.210
Oh, yeah. Thanks.

16:10.860 --> 16:11.690
Shin-chan!

16:11.690 --> 16:13.250
I'm so happy for you!

16:12.210 --> 16:14.950
Congrats! I believed in you!

16:13.250 --> 16:14.950
You're amazing! You studious nerd!

16:14.950 --> 16:16.470
Thanks, everyone.

16:17.500 --> 16:19.980
You've worked so hard for this.

16:22.480 --> 16:24.980
Congrats!

16:22.480 --> 16:24.980
<b>Everyone Got Accepted Into College!</b>

16:22.480 --> 16:24.980
(Airu got into technical school)

16:36.360 --> 16:39.480
Oh. I fell asleep.

16:49.990 --> 16:55.720
<i>There's never going to be a day 
when Mizuho needs me.</i>

16:59.010 --> 17:02.100
<i>Thank you to all the 
athletes and individuals</i>

17:02.100 --> 17:06.600
<i>involved in today's swimming competition.</i>

17:06.600 --> 17:08.880
<i>The competition 
has ended successfully and...</i>

17:20.120 --> 17:23.570
Those two look happy.

17:23.570 --> 17:25.130
Shin-chan...

17:29.300 --> 17:32.130

You'd better show up to the next lecture!
You'll lose your credits if you don't!

 Kuroda

17:34.840 --> 17:36.660
<i>Even if I don't do my best...</i>

17:38.890 --> 17:41.110
<i>Mizuho would be happy.</i>

17:42.750 --> 17:43.950
<i>But...</i>

17:43.950 --> 17:46.700
During the fireworks festival... 
Kizuki showed up.

17:46.700 --> 17:47.400
What?

17:53.630 --> 17:55.780
He said he came to see me.

17:55.780 --> 18:00.020
Even though Kizuki and I 
ended things a long time ago.

18:02.500 --> 18:06.020
<i>Mizuho just won't let me give up.</i>

18:17.350 --> 18:18.710
Mizuho?

18:19.310 --> 18:22.320
Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?

18:23.400 --> 18:25.390
You came.

18:26.080 --> 18:27.120
Yeah.

18:27.120 --> 18:30.990
You still have a fever, Shin. 
Are you okay?

18:30.990 --> 18:33.130
I just took some medicine.

18:33.130 --> 18:35.320
It should kick in soon.

18:35.750 --> 18:38.490
In that case, you should keep sleeping.

18:38.820 --> 18:39.830
Okay.

18:39.830 --> 18:41.290
Um...

18:41.290 --> 18:45.040
I put some stuff from Kai in your fridge.

18:45.040 --> 18:47.080
I'll head out now...

18:47.080 --> 18:48.300
Don't leave.

18:49.840 --> 18:51.970
I've been jealous this whole time.

18:52.270 --> 18:56.930
Whenever Kizuki was sick, 
he was able to keep you to himself.

18:56.930 --> 18:57.930
Shin...

19:09.410 --> 19:14.570
Hey. Have you been keeping 
in touch with Kizuki?

19:15.850 --> 19:19.490
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

19:22.650 --> 19:24.000
Yeah.

19:26.420 --> 19:28.190
I won't forgive him.

19:31.300 --> 19:34.260
I won't forgive him for hurting you.

19:35.760 --> 19:38.760
To: Shin
 Kai gave me some
side dishes from your mom.
They're in the fridge for you.
Get well soon.
From: Mizuho

19:41.640 --> 19:42.980
Shin?!

19:44.220 --> 19:47.270
I'm not letting you go anywhere, Mizuho.

19:47.980 --> 19:49.240
Mizuho...

19:50.860 --> 19:53.330
Stay by my side.

19:53.330 --> 19:55.030
What's up with you, Shin?!

19:55.030 --> 19:57.390
This isn't like you at all!

19:57.390 --> 19:58.360
Huh?

20:13.990 --> 20:15.210
Shin?

20:16.780 --> 20:18.310
He still has a fever.

20:18.750 --> 20:21.790
Mizuho...

21:59.970 --> 22:01.320
Nishino-san?

22:05.290 --> 22:06.660
Kuroda-sensei...

22:07.080 --> 22:10.050
Oh. Thank you for the other day.

22:14.520 --> 22:16.670
Ah. This is...

22:16.670 --> 22:21.980
I brought some things from 
Shin's mom. That's all!

22:27.980 --> 22:30.300
So, um...

22:31.310 --> 22:33.130
I-I'll take my leave now!

22:41.630 --> 22:43.090
Please wait.

22:46.050 --> 22:48.110
Can I ask you something?

22:48.850 --> 22:50.660
Nishino-san...

22:51.010 --> 22:52.970
What does Kashiwagi...

22:54.640 --> 22:56.550
What does Kashiwagi mean to you exactly?

22:57.130 --> 22:58.130
What?

23:04.350 --> 23:06.930
Shin's... my childhood friend.

23:09.750 --> 23:11.440
It's not fair.

23:11.440 --> 23:12.110
Huh?

23:12.110 --> 23:14.100
That's not fair!

23:14.100 --> 23:16.440
Don't you realize it?

23:16.950 --> 23:19.950
That Kashiwagi doesn't see you that way?

23:21.380 --> 23:26.260
Holding onto those feelings for so long...

23:26.260 --> 23:28.050
It's really painful.

23:28.760 --> 23:32.030
I can't keep seeing Kashiwagi like this.

23:33.900 --> 23:35.200
I-I...

23:35.200 --> 23:36.460
I'm sorry.

23:36.980 --> 23:38.610
I'm just being jealous.

23:50.320 --> 23:51.710
Please forget about this.

24:09.950 --> 24:14.950
