01x12 - Girls...

[bunniefuu]

I'm hungry!

Let's grab something to eat.

What do you want, Chinatsu?

Buttered potatoes!

Nice choice.

Takoyaki sounds good too.

Hold on! Look over there!

Aren't they first-years?

I wonder if they're on a date.

I wish I was wearing a yukata.

Her hair looks so cute too!

Ah, young love!

EPISODE 12
GIRLS...

She's so quiet.

I don't think she's ever been
this quiet for this long.

I'm gonna get some yakisoba!

I can come with you!

I'm so nervous.

I wanted to come alone with him at first,

but Kyo canceled at the last minute.

Just the two of us?

I'M STILL IN

Did my lipstick come off
from eating that candy apple?

How's my hair?

Is my obi on straight?

YAKISOBA


I want him to really see me.

Step right up!

I put in a lot of effort.

If possible...

If possible!
I want him to think I look cute.

But I'm worried I look weird.

I'm feeling a little self-conscious
because I've never dressed like this.

I want him to look at me,
but I also don't want him to.

How's this spot?

Watch out for pebbles.

Thanks.

We still have about 10 minutes.

Yeah.

You want something to drink?

I'm fine.

I thought everything was normal,

but something's definitely up with her.

She's being targeted.

I guess they already got her.

Want to use this?

Yeah.

Thanks.

It must itch.

You'll get your yukata dirty.

Give it to me.

It was more to the left.

Oh, crap.

This is more awkward than I thought.

She missed a few hairs.

Did you do your hair yourself?

Yeah, I did.

Why?

I didn't know you were
that good with your hands.

Are you making fun of me?

Not at all.

I'm honestly impressed.

Now it really sounds like
you're messing with me.

I missed a bit!

See, I knew you were making fun of me.

Don't twist my words.

I know it's not easy,
but you worked hard at it.

It looks cute.
I'm trying to compliment you.

Cute?

Say that again!

They just started all of a sudden.

I didn't know just calling her cute

would make her so happy.

Girls...

There will now be a 20-minute break.

I'm going to run to the bathroom.

Okay, I'll watch our stuff.

He said I was cute!

Lucky it wasn't too crowded yet.

Maybe I'll buy a drink.

I wonder if Hina wants anything.

Are you lost?

Did you lose your mom?

Oh, you fell down.

Let's get you looked at.

Everything's going to be okay.

Pain, pain, go away!

Is she lost?

Yeah.

She got separated from her mom.

I was going to take her to the main tent.

I'll come with you.

Can I come with you?

That's okay, I can do this alone.

I'm heading that way anyway.

What's your name?

Yume.

Yume!

I hate to keep Hina waiting,
but I can't just ignore this.

Hold on!

We all go together!

Okay!

Mosquitos are usually the worst,
but they did good today.

It looks cute.

Chono?

Ito.

I didn't know you were here too.

Are you alone?

Okay, obviously not.

Are you here with your team?

No, I came with Taiki.

Taiki?

Kyo was supposed to come too,
but he caught a cold.

And my other friends snubbed me,
saying they already had plans.

Then why don't we join you?

It'd be more fun in a big group.

We were standing over there watching,
and honestly, we'd love a place to sit.

What do you think?

Yume, are you thirsty?

I'm okay.

Well, we're almost there,
so let's keep going.

Okay.

Chinatsu Senpai's good with kids.

I didn't expect that.

Probably because I always see her
talking to people older than her.

Sorry.

No problem.

Whoa, she's stunning.

Are you hurt?

Karen!

Chii!

You know each other?

We were best friends and in the same class

through kindergarten and grade school.

What an incredible school!

Hello.

Hello!

And she's Haryu's girlfriend.

Did you come with Haryu?

Yeah, he's saved us seats.

That's right, he mentioned
his girlfriend was in showbiz.

By the way,

who are you?

My name is Taiki Inomata.

Haryu Senpai is always looking after me.

Are you that Taiki Inomata?

Oh, so you're him.

"That"?

What has Haryu Senpai
been saying about me?

Well...

He said you have a lot of guts.

That sounds like a lie.

Anyway, I should get going.

I can see how
she's Haryu Senpai's girlfriend.

They're a good match, aren't they?

I got to see something good!

Kengo! Kengo!

I just saw something good.

What?

I ran into Taiki Inomata and Chii!

The two of them?

I guess technically
there were three of them.

It didn't look like a date,

but Taiki Inomata seemed like a good guy.

They should just date already.

There's no way Chii wants that.

You're right.

What?

If you ever start neglecting badminton,

I'll break up with you!

Yeah, I know.

I'll do my best with both.

Good!

I feel like Chii is overthinking things.

FIREWORKS FESTIVAL
OPERATIONS

Lost?

Her mom was just here!

She went out to look for her again.

I'll go make an announcement.

I'll go look for her!

You two wait here.

Be back soon!

Let's wait inside.

RECEPTION

That lady from earlier
had a really pretty yukata.

Yeah, she did.

It was so cute with all the flowers!

Did you want to wear a yukata too?

A little bit.

But this shirt is pretty cute too, right?

It's one of my favorites.

Is it your Sunday best?

I'm surprised you know that phrase.

But my Sunday best would be my uniform.

Uniform?

It's what I wear
when I play basketball, which I love.

I know basketball!

When I'm wearing my uniform,
I just want to be the coolest.

You're living with a first-year boy?

And his family.

What's the difference?

Do you ever think of him like that?

Like as an actual guy,

as someone you could see yourself with.

Yeah.

But...

I'm looking for Yume's mother!
Are you here?

But I'm a little clumsy,

so I probably can't wear yukata.

I get that!

When I tried to put on my yukata,

it got all messed up,

so Mommy ended up doing it for me.

It's hard, right?

Hey!

Yume!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Where did you go?

Mommy!

She heard the announcement,
so I found her right away.

That's good.

Thank you so much!

How can I thank you?

Don't worry about it!

Don't lose her again, okay?

Yume!

Wait!

You can have it!

Yukata are hard, but this is easy!

Now you're stylish too!

But...

If it's not too much trouble,
please accept her gift!

Thank you!

Bye-bye!

Come on, let's go.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

How rude.

Yume gave this to me, you know.

It looks good on you.

You should wear it all the time.

Stop laughing!

I mean, you're just staring at me.

You'll have to keep it on
until you get home.

It would break Yume's heart
if she saw you without it.

Yeah, yeah,
I'll keep it on until I get home.

I mean, she made me all stylish after all.

Can I take a picture, then?

Permission denied.

"Permission"?

I bet if I told Chinatsu Senpai
that she was cute right now,

there would be a brief pause

before she gave me
an obligatory "thank you."

And this fun time would end.

It started up again.

Yeah.

We should hurry.

Nagisa's waiting for me.

You're right.

I'll see you at home.

Yeah, see you at home.

Crap! I kept Hina waiting longer
than I meant to!

Hurry up and get back here!

I need to apologize
for leaving her alone for so long.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Sorry I took so long.

You owe me one.

Dang it!

Anything happen while I was gone?

Nah, I've got good food

and pretty fireworks!

Life's good!

We should come back next year.

Yeah.

And by that, I mean just the two of us.

Welcome back, Chinatsu.

What's with that hair clip?

It's a long story.

Wait, why do you look so sad?

Where will we be next year?

How will we change

over this long year?

That's what I was thinking

as I watched the fireworks burst above us
before quickly fading into nothing.

Good morning.

Good morning, Chinatsu.

I just finished making breakfast.

Is Taiki awake?

He went running.

So energetic so early in the morning.

He said the practice session he went to
made him realize he needs more stamina.

He sounded excited.

Natsu, maybe you could've passed it
to Nagi there.

She was pretty open.

Try to stay calm when we're short on time.

Okay.

I get that nationals are coming up fast.

Try not to get too stiff and just be you.

We can all vouch for your skills.

Okay.

He won again.

We're no match for him anymore.

He is going to nationals after all.

At the college practice the other day,

Haryu Senpai did better against Hyodo
than he did in the prefectural qualifiers.

The two slots to nationals next year

will go to Yusa and Haryu.

If you'd hit like that, you might've
scored more points against Yusa.

You want some?

Kyo, can you set some shots for me?

After what Hyodo told me,

I need to pick things up!

Kyo, that's too fast.

Sorry, I need to get the shuttlecock.

Hey, Hina, could you...

Good luck.

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

That's what I'm talking about.

It's good, though.

What are you talking about?

Lunch break! Be back here by 1:20.

Okay!

I'll go open the windows upstairs.

Thanks.

Taiki?

Are you asleep?

He did go running this morning too.

So he sleeps with his jacket in his arms.

DOESN'T USE IT AS A BLANKET...

Hello?

Inomata.

There's something I meant
to ask you before.

Are you dating Chono?

Your answer...

will change the way I feel
as your housemate.

Going to the fireworks festival together

must mean that you are, right?

And Chono likes you after all.

If you are dating,
you could've just told me.

Are you going this year?

I'm going in a group.

You didn't need to lie
about going in a group.

Then I would've...

It's not nice being lied to.

What a great nap.

I felt like someone was here.

Guess I just imagined it.
