1
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:12,340
It was all pointless.

2
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:15,230
It's not pointless!

3
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:17,620
I know you don't really want to quit!

4
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:20,470
What about you?

5
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:25,100
You gave up your dreams to write manga 
and ended up an office worker.

6
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:17,430
Hmm...

7
00:02:18,010 --> 00:02:22,290
The character writing's 
still a little weak.

8
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:30,960
Hello?

9
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,700
How are you doing, Mi-chan?

10
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:35,430
Oh, it's just you, Dad.

11
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:37,670
What do you mean, "Oh"?

12
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:39,620
You're making your dad sad!

13
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:41,050
Sorry, sorry.

14
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:43,340
I was just working, so...

15
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:45,120
But it's so late.

16
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,060
Are you overdoing it?

17
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:49,190
Are you eating decent meals?

18
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:51,930
I'm sure editing is no easy job.

19
00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:55,890
Especially with scary superiors or 
manga writers who are hard to work with—

20
00:02:58,380 --> 00:02:59,910
You're choking!

21
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:02,150
Calm down, and slow your words a bit.

22
00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:08,330
Man, I've been coughing a lot lately.

23
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:11,540
Maybe I'm getting old.

24
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Yes, yes.

25
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,390
So? Why did you call me?

26
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:18,140
Well, I don't really have 
a reason or anything...

27
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:20,170
Oh, that's right.

28
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:21,530
Have you heard, Mi-chan?

29
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:23,550
Heard what?

30
00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:25,110
About Kizuki-kun.

31
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,830
What about him?

32
00:03:29,170 --> 00:03:32,170
I heard from his mom that...

33
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,620
He quit his job.

34
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:35,640
What?

35
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,930
From: Mitsuman Swimming School

36
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,930
Subject: Inquiring about an interview.

37
00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:49,560
{\an8}Koigahama City
Happe Park (Kugenuma Exercise Park)

38
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:54,570
Thanks so much for scheduling 
this appointment, Nishino-san.

39
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:58,700
Your work can be more convincing 
when you go out and do some research!

40
00:03:58,970 --> 00:03:59,970
Yeah!

41
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,810
Thank you for this opportunity.

42
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:07,540
I'll show you around.

43
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:10,990
This place hasn't changed...

44
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,770
Have you known 
about this place for a while?

45
00:04:14,770 --> 00:04:17,810
This is the place my childhood 
friend used to swim.

46
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:19,220
Is that so?

47
00:04:20,170 --> 00:04:23,040
I heard from his mom that...

48
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:29,500
Right this way.

49
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,480
Whoa.

50
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,720
What a big pool.

51
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:44,220
The athlete you'll be 
interviewing is over there.

52
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:46,180
Thank you very much.

53
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Why?

54
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:16,330
Mizuho?

55
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,100
Yes, something like that.

56
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:31,130
This is great research material.

57
00:06:31,130 --> 00:06:33,260
I'm glad to hear that.

58
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:38,140
Hazawa-san?

59
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:40,440
Oh, I'm sorry.

60
00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:42,500
But you know...

61
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:47,630
I took a long hiatus from swimming, 
so my information could be a bit outdated.

62
00:06:47,630 --> 00:06:49,530
Is that so?

63
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120
It's because of my shoulder injury.

64
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,490
Because of that, I had to completely 
step away from swimming at one point.

65
00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:02,130
In desperation, I ended up pushing away 
the people who supported me.

66
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,530
But I've made the decision 
to stop running away.

67
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:16,000
And now I'm back.

68
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,400
I even quit my job.

69
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:19,370
Kizuki...

70
00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:21,230
He did that so he could 
go back to swimming.

71
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:26,800
That's a very serious commitment.

72
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,940
Did you have any doubts?

73
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,240
I did.

74
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,800
I know it's a reckless challenge.

75
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,250
But...

76
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:38,250
I want...

77
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,700
A specific person to see me again.

78
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:51,190
Well, his shoulder isn't 
in tiptop shape just yet!

79
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:53,010
I'll heal. I guarantee it.

80
00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:57,490
Don't slow down!

81
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,020
So cool!

82
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,400
Kizuki really shines when he's swimming.

83
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:16,950
You're regaining your strength.

84
00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:23,690
Thank you for everything today.

85
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:25,970
I was able to get some great references.

86
00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:27,070
Don't mention it.

87
00:08:27,070 --> 00:08:28,950
As long as it can help 
create something amazing.

88
00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:33,940
Thanks to Hazawa-san, I think I have 
a solid idea for the main character.

89
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:35,730
I'm glad to hear that.

90
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:39,760
Is... Is something wrong?

91
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:43,910
Is Hazawa-san that childhood 
friend you mentioned earlier?

92
00:08:43,910 --> 00:08:45,010
The one who swam.

93
00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:46,160
What?!

94
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:49,130
I was right!

95
00:08:49,130 --> 00:08:51,550
Are you a psychic, Kawaguchi-san?!

96
00:08:51,550 --> 00:08:54,450
So you didn't know that 
he's been swimming again.

97
00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:55,960
Yes...

98
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,330
He should have told me.

99
00:09:02,380 --> 00:09:05,520
So he's your adolescence.

100
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,340
What?!

101
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,570
That's not...

102
00:09:09,850 --> 00:09:10,840
Mizuho!

103
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:12,840
Kizuki?

104
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,840
I wanted to see you.

105
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,780
What?

106
00:09:19,630 --> 00:09:20,710
Nishino-san.

107
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:27,820
Right now, I... have all
 these ideas in my head!

108
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:29,480
I'm going home to work on a draft!

109
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,350
Oh, uh, all right.

110
00:09:32,350 --> 00:09:34,690
I'll be heading out first!

111
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,910
Sorry, Mizuho!

112
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:40,840
What?

113
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,940
I kept running away 
for the past three years.

114
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:45,340
And I selfishly hurt you.

115
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,970
I'm really sorry!

116
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,340
It surprised me, you know?

117
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:52,720
Because I didn't think I'd see you here.

118
00:09:53,540 --> 00:09:55,260
Are you still mad?

119
00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:58,450
I'm mad. At myself.

120
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:03,240
I didn't try to understand you at all.

121
00:10:03,870 --> 00:10:07,800
I can't believe I told you "Don't give up" 
when you were suffering so much.

122
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,530
All I could say was "Are you okay?" 
and kept cornering you.

123
00:10:11,530 --> 00:10:12,650
You're wrong!

124
00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:19,900
Because you encouraged me back then, 
I was able to come back again.

125
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:21,610
Kizuki...

126
00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:23,420
Mizuho. I...

127
00:10:23,420 --> 00:10:25,620
I'm going to aim to be 
a swimming athlete once more.

128
00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:30,270
I don't know if I can ever
achieve my peak condition again.

129
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:33,870
But I want to take back the things I lost.

130
00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:36,450
Both swimming and you, Mizuho.

131
00:10:36,450 --> 00:10:37,710
Kizuki...

132
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:43,620
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

133
00:10:51,850 --> 00:10:54,680
I'm going to take a stand once more!

134
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,030
I'm going to take
a stand once more!

135
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:59,580
I can see that the interview 
was useful, but...

136
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:02,410
Why?!

137
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,140
Senpai. You're being so loud.

138
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:09,640
Oh, sorry.

139
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,800
It's been bugging me so much 
that I lost my composure.

140
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,390
Then how about you help me out 
a bit for a change of pace?

141
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:17,610
What?

142
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:19,460
Here, take a look.

143
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:21,050
Let me see.

144
00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:23,150
Wait, is this...?

145
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,840
I'm stuck on what to do next.

146
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,560
The two characters are about to confess.

147
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,230
Let's go out.

148
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:33,730
Shin...

149
00:11:33,730 --> 00:11:35,240
But Shin, you...

150
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,490
Let me see if I still like you, Mizuho.

151
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,150
I want to take back the things I lost.

152
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:50,830
Both swimming and you, Mizuho.

153
00:11:50,830 --> 00:11:52,020
Kizuki...

154
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:57,940
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

155
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:04,300
I need to think these things through, too.

156
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:08,480
Is something still bugging you?

157
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:14,830
Hey, Sakura.

158
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,570
Yes?

159
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:18,730
What would you do in this case?

160
00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:19,620
What if...

161
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:20,770
Nishino-san!

162
00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:23,850
You have a visitor 
waiting over at reception.

163
00:12:24,730 --> 00:12:26,750
Oh, thank you.

164
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,780
But I don't think 
I have any appointments.

165
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,420
Hmm...

166
00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:33,310
They said their name is Kashiwagi-san.

167
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:35,090
What?! Kashiwagi?

168
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:37,910
Yeah. Apparently, he's quite a looker.

169
00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:39,150
He's hot?!

170
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:41,810
What's your relationship with this guy?

171
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:50,880
Ah! Mizuho!

172
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,780
Kai! What are you doing here?

173
00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:55,830
I came to see you, Mizuho.

174
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:56,730
So?

175
00:12:56,730 --> 00:13:00,250
Wanna quit your job and marry me?

176
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:02,070
What a handsome high schooler.

177
00:13:02,070 --> 00:13:04,460
Marriage? How cute!

178
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:06,650
Why's it always Nishino-senpai!

179
00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:08,500
No way I'm doing that, idiot.

180
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:11,620
Kai as a

181
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:11,620
kid

182
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:11,620
Shin's younger brother

183
00:13:09,050 --> 00:13:11,620
Just marry me already 
and come live with us!

184
00:13:13,570 --> 00:13:16,880
You're so childish on the inside 
after all this time.

185
00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:20,720
Hey, are there manga artists here?

186
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,510
There are not!

187
00:13:21,790 --> 00:13:22,500
Wait.

188
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,470
What about school, Kai?

189
00:13:24,890 --> 00:13:26,550
About that...

190
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,760
I'm visiting colleges for 
their open houses today.

191
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,360
So, here.

192
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,190
Take this to my workaholic brother.

193
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,410
What? To Shin? Why?

194
00:13:41,410 --> 00:13:43,990
He's out sick with a cold right now.

195
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,200
So Mom made me bring all those things.

196
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:49,440
But I'm busy applying to schools
and it'd be bad for me to catch a cold.

197
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,510
Which is why I'm leaving it to you!

198
00:13:51,510 --> 00:13:53,270
W-Wait, Kai!

199
00:13:53,270 --> 00:13:55,430
You can't just dump this on me.

200
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:56,430
Why?

201
00:13:59,780 --> 00:14:01,270
Why would it bother you?

202
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,530
Because...

203
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:07,110
Did something happen 
between you and Shin?

204
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,220
N-Nothing like that...

205
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:11,710
Huh...

206
00:14:11,710 --> 00:14:13,920
If this is something that 
makes you drag on like this,

207
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,730
you should just choose me already!

208
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,190
Ugh...

209
00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:20,870
If nothing's up, then 
you can pass it on to him.

210
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:22,410
Then I'm leaving it to you!

211
00:14:22,410 --> 00:14:23,740
Hey!

212
00:14:54,140 --> 00:15:00,900
{\an8}Nishino

213
00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:58,580
Mizuho!

214
00:14:58,580 --> 00:14:59,750
Oh. Shin!

215
00:14:59,750 --> 00:15:00,900
Perfect timing.

216
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,900
Let's reschedule today's plans 
for another day.

217
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:04,780
What?

218
00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:07,610
Kizuki had an asthma attack.

219
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,980
Relay that to the others, okay?

220
00:15:10,780 --> 00:15:12,970
I'm going to check on Kizuki!

221
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:15,390
Ah...

222
00:15:21,370 --> 00:15:24,800
Mizuho... What am I to you?

223
00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:32,070
What is it?

224
00:15:32,070 --> 00:15:33,280
So loud...

225
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:35,590
Mizuho?

226
00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:46,280
What's wrong?

227
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:49,450
Did you fight with Kizuki?

228
00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:51,450
Shin...

229
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,890
Congrats on making it 
into To-Ou University!

230
00:15:59,210 --> 00:16:01,540
I'm so happy for you!

231
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:04,210
Oh, yeah. Thanks.

232
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:11,690
Shin-chan!

233
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:13,250
I'm so happy for you!

234
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:14,950
Congrats! I believed in you!

235
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:14,950
You're amazing! You studious nerd!

236
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:16,470
Thanks, everyone.

237
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:19,980
You've worked so hard for this.

238
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,980
Congrats!

239
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,980
Everyone Got Accepted Into College!

240
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,980
(Airu got into technical school)

241
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,480
Oh. I fell asleep.

242
00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:55,720
There's never going to be a day 
when Mizuho needs me.

243
00:16:59,010 --> 00:17:02,100
Thank you to all the 
athletes and individuals

244
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:06,600
involved in today's swimming competition.

245
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,880
The competition 
has ended successfully and...

246
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:23,570
Those two look happy.

247
00:17:23,570 --> 00:17:25,130
Shin-chan...

248
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,130

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

 Kuroda

249
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,660
Even if I don't do my best...

250
00:17:38,890 --> 00:17:41,110
Mizuho would be happy.

251
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:43,950
But...

252
00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:46,700
During the fireworks festival... 
Kizuki showed up.

253
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:47,400
What?

254
00:17:53,630 --> 00:17:55,780
He said he came to see me.

255
00:17:55,780 --> 00:18:00,020
Even though Kizuki and I 
ended things a long time ago.

256
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:06,020
Mizuho just won't let me give up.

257
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:18,710
Mizuho?

258
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:22,320
Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?

259
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,390
You came.

260
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,120
Yeah.

261
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,990
You still have a fever, Shin. 
Are you okay?

262
00:18:30,990 --> 00:18:33,130
I just took some medicine.

263
00:18:33,130 --> 00:18:35,320
It should kick in soon.

264
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:38,490
In that case, you should keep sleeping.

265
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:39,830
Okay.

266
00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:41,290
Um...

267
00:18:41,290 --> 00:18:45,040
I put some stuff from Kai in your fridge.

268
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,080
I'll head out now...

269
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,300
Don't leave.

270
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,970
I've been jealous this whole time.

271
00:18:52,270 --> 00:18:56,930
Whenever Kizuki was sick, 
he was able to keep you to himself.

272
00:18:56,930 --> 00:18:57,930
Shin...

273
00:19:09,410 --> 00:19:14,570
Hey. Have you been keeping 
in touch with Kizuki?

274
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:19,490
I'm going to make you fall 
for me again. I swear it.

275
00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:24,000
Yeah.

276
00:19:26,420 --> 00:19:28,190
I won't forgive him.

277
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:34,260
I won't forgive him for hurting you.

278
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760
{\an7}To: Shin
 Kai gave me some
side dishes from your mom.
They're in the fridge for you.
Get well soon.
From: Mizuho

279
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,980
Shin?!

280
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:47,270
I'm not letting you go anywhere, Mizuho.

281
00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:49,240
Mizuho...

282
00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:53,330
Stay by my side.

283
00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:55,030
What's up with you, Shin?!

284
00:19:55,030 --> 00:19:57,390
This isn't like you at all!

285
00:19:57,390 --> 00:19:58,360
Huh?

286
00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:15,210
Shin?

287
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:18,310
He still has a fever.

288
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:21,790
Mizuho...

289
00:21:59,970 --> 00:22:01,320
Nishino-san?

290
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:06,660
Kuroda-sensei...

291
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,050
Oh. Thank you for the other day.

292
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,670
Ah. This is...

293
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:21,980
I brought some things from 
Shin's mom. That's all!

294
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:30,300
So, um...

295
00:22:31,310 --> 00:22:33,130
I-I'll take my leave now!

296
00:22:41,630 --> 00:22:43,090
Please wait.

297
00:22:46,050 --> 00:22:48,110
Can I ask you something?

298
00:22:48,850 --> 00:22:50,660
Nishino-san...

299
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:52,970
What does Kashiwagi...

300
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,550
What does Kashiwagi mean to you exactly?

301
00:22:57,130 --> 00:22:58,130
What?

302
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:06,930
Shin's... my childhood friend.

303
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:11,440
It's not fair.

304
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,110
Huh?

305
00:23:12,110 --> 00:23:14,100
That's not fair!

306
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:16,440
Don't you realize it?

307
00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:19,950
That Kashiwagi doesn't see you that way?

308
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:26,260
Holding onto those feelings for so long...

309
00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:28,050
It's really painful.

310
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,030
I can't keep seeing Kashiwagi like this.

311
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:35,200
I-I...

312
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,460
I'm sorry.

313
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:38,610
I'm just being jealous.

314
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,710
Please forget about this.

315
00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:14,950
{\an9}# 22 Something I've Been Meaning to Say
