01x09 - Surprise!

[bunniefuu]

POPURI

As you know,

November 1st is coming up.

It's Tani-kun's birthday.

Tani-kun's birthday?

I had no idea!

What kind of surprise should I prepare?

I'm so worried about it.

Hey, don't just chat here.

Has Tani-kun been hinting
at anything he wants lately?

No idea.

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Have you ever gotten something
that made you really happy,

or experienced a surprise
that you still remember?

What could it be…?

Why are you asking Yamada?

The two are completely different types.

Maybe like a photo album?

That's amazing!

He's experienced…

But you know…

I know nothing about Yamada's love life,

but I feel a strong distance
between us right now.

What about you, Taira-kun?

What about you…?

In this situation,
it's not about the gift itself, right?

The thought of someone
remembering your birthday

and celebrating it with you
is what makes you happiest.

I don't really get it, though.

Stare…

You're so mature.

Yeah!

But I want to surprise him and help him
celebrate without him finding out.

You're so particular.

Because it's his first birthday
since we started dating!

I want to give Tani-kun
a surprise he'll never forget,

so he'll never want
a normal birthday again.

-Is that a curse?
-So scary.

Happy Halloween!

Thank you.



Tani-kun.

You don't have cram school
or librarian duty tomorrow, right?

Then we absolutely have
to go home together.

Yay!

It's like a birthday after-school date!

What should I do?

Feels like she's going to surprise me.

Back in my middle school class…

Hinacchi, happy birthday!

Thank you, everyone! I'm so happy!

We had a tradition where everyone
celebrated each other's birthdays.

We felt bad for anyone
who didn't get celebrated,

so everyone was treated equally.

And then it was my turn.

NOVEMBER 1ST TANI'S BIRTHDAY

Happy birthday, Tani-kun.

Happy…

Thank you.

COLD…

His reaction was so cold.

I'M REALLY GRATEFUL

I still don't know the right answer
to that question.

A REACTION THAT WOULD MAKE THEM HAPPY

WOW

This is troubling.

I'm not confident
I can properly act surprised.

Taira's reaction is funny.

So joking around feels really satisfying.

Alright!

This is the worst.

I'm exhausted.

Taira-kun, I have a question for you.

Is there anything I should
keep in mind when I react?

What do you take me for?

Tani, it's our turn!

Is he talking about Suzuki's surprise?

Rain…



It doesn't matter if it's rainy or sunny.

No one knows my birthday anyway.

Ayumi-chan, happy birthday!

Is this broadcast for me?

Oh, no! How embarrassing!

How embarrassing…

For a moment, I thought
they were surprising me.

Taira.

Your face is so red.

What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?

No, it's nothing.

That's good.

Taira, where's your umbrella?

I brought one.

But it's more hassle to use an umbrella
in this kind of drizzle.

Are all boys like this?

It's thundering…

Let's hurry and get inside.

What the hell?

I'm so unlucky today.

It's your birthday, though.

You know?

Didn't we ask each other in English class?

I just remembered.

I see.

October 10th.

My pronunciation is strangely good.
It's kind of funny.

You talk too much.

Are you looking forward
to the lunchtime broadcast?

Of course not.

I'm just kidding.

By the way, let me give you a present.

It's a sticker from the bread
I had for lunch.

What's with that disgusted face?

No, my hands are dirty. I'll get it later.

Thank you.

It's a yeti sticker.

I didn't know you carried cute things.

That's unexpected.

YOU…

I gave this to you, didn't I?

You're so loyal.

Should I stay up until midnight?

TANI GOES TO BED REALLY EARLY

What if she calls me and I don't pick up?

No, maybe I'm just imagining things again.

CALL FROM MIYU SUZUKI

Hello?

I'm glad you're awake.

Or should I say you were woken up
by the notification?

I'm still awake.

No, you sound like you're already asleep.

Sorry, I'll hang up
right after I say this.

Just a little longer.

Tani-kun, happy birthday.

I wanted to prepare
a more formal surprise,

but I decided to keep it simple
and congratulate you first.

Thank you.

Sorry to wake you up.

I'm not asleep yet.

That must be a lie.

No…

You sound sleepy.

Bye-bye. Good night.

See you tomorrow.

I love you.

Just kidding.

Love you.

SNORING - FALLS ASLEEP

Good morning, Tani-kun!

Happy birthday!

Today is Tani-kun's birthday?

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Do you want a sticker?

Thank you.

Tani, here.

Gummy.

Gummy. Thank you.

Tani.

THUNDER CHOCOLATE

Thank you.

See you. I have to work.

He's hiding his embarrassment.

That's so like Taira.

Tani, I hear it's your birthday today.

Oh, how old are you this year?

The same age as you.

Come to think of it…

POPURI

Taira's starting his shift.

You two…

You really didn't have to come,
especially on your birthday.

His birthday isn't over yet.

Do you want to buy one too?

Thank you for your patronage.

Belated happy birthday.

I didn't know your birthday
had already passed.

I feel bad that I'm the only one
who got a present.

What?

We just heard from Azu.

You don't have to be so formal.

-Belated happy birthday!
-Here you go.

Alright, let's go, Tani-kun.

To today's main event!

Am I the opening act?

Belated happy birthday!

Taira-kun,
did something good happen to you?

No… it's nothing.

Look.

A lighter and candles.

You're so well-prepared.

Oh, my…

Did I overdo it…?

Well then, let's light it.

Somehow…

Tani-kun, you're 17 now.
Let's have another great year.

Thank you.

I'm really happy.

DIDN'T FORGET TO PREPARE ONE FOR MYSELF

It's so good!

Let's swap.

Sure.

Tani-kun, here's your birthday present.

A scarf?

Looks like I gave it to you
a bit too early…

If I got you something
you'd only wear with casual clothes,

I'd have fewer chances to see it.

If you wore it, I'd be really happy!

EXTREMELY EXCITED

Suzuki-san.

Huh? This is…

We're going to kiss, right?

NERVOUS

Thank you.

I'm so happy.

It's not cold enough to wear it yet.

But it's from you, after all.

This weekend, let's go wherever you want
and do whatever you want.

What I want to do?

Because we always go where I want.

Okay, I'll think about it.

Yay! I'm looking forward to it!

KISS…

This weekend, let's go wherever you want

and do whatever you want.

What should I do?

The more seriously I think about it,
the more I feel that…

WHERE TO GO - WHAT TO DO

Honestly, anywhere is fine.

NOT KEEN ON SIGHTSEEING

Can I really say that?

No…

Do you want to go eat too?

I'll come up with the best plan
to show you around then!

I have one more willful request.

Am I being too passive?

The museum!

I think the last time I came was
for an elementary school trip.

Do you come here often?

Not often.
I remember I loved it when I was little.

I can tell.

That's one of the reasons, but…

The movies out right now aren't that good.

MOVIE: 2 HOURS 30 MINUTES
ZOO: 2 TO 3 HOURS

We've been there before.

AQUARIUM: 1 TO 2 HOURS

It feels a bit short.

MUSEUM: 3 TO 4 HOURS

This is the answer he came up with
after much deliberation.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION: WORLD OF TREASURES

Since we're here, why don't we check out
the special exhibit?

Let's go, let's go!

This special exhibit seems very popular.

I can't see anything at all.

Huh? Tani-kun, where are you?

Suzuki-san, I'm over here!



I mostly just saw the back
of people's heads.

I'm sorry.

Why?

You don't need to apologize.

We haven't seen
the permanent exhibition yet, have we?

Alright, let's keep exploring!

You can see it clearly over here.

It's so big inside.

-Do they have the one Emil keeps?
-No…

HE KEEPS A MOTH

So cute!

Its legs are so cute!

There's so much to see!

It's so dark outside.

There are so many things.

It got dark, and we still
didn't see everything.

The museum is amazing!

I'm so happy!

WHAT A RELIEF

I'm starving.

Let's grab something to eat
before we go home.

I think there's a good restaurant nearby.

Let's go there.

You did your research.

Thank you!

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It can't be helped.

I think there's another place nearby.

You really did a lot of research!

If it's ramen or something,
the turnover is pretty fast.

What should we do? Should we wait in line?

QUEUE TIME + MEAL TIME = TIME TO GO HOME

Let's go somewhere else.

It's obvious we can't afford it…

I'd love to come here when I'm older.

SUSHI

That's something we can eat quickly!

It gets so cold after sunset.

It's so warm.

I feel like none of my suggestions
today went very well.

Or rather,
have I been too dependent on her before?

I WANT TO GO THERE - THERE
HMM… - SCHEDULE

Suzuki-san, you must be tired
from all the walking.

Yeah, very!

But we walked a lot,
so the food was delicious.

It's a shame we couldn't go
to the restaurant you found.

But I think this is awesome too.

We always do what I like.

So I was hoping we could do
what you wanted today.

In the end,
I had the most fun again today.

I…

I'd rather you have fun.

Where I want to go or what I want to do…

More than the places or the plans,

I just enjoy spending time with you.

I…

I get it!

HUH?

I'm like that too!

I often talk about what I want to do
and where I want to go,

but that's because I want to go with you.

We're the same.

Huh? Aren't we?

I'm the same too.

Suzuki-san,
thank you for everything, as always.

Why are you saying that suddenly?
Oh, come on…

Is that what you think?

I wish I had planned it better.

It's fine.

But I'm glad you put in the effort.

How should I put it?

I was still in the mood to keep
your birthday bash going today,

and I ended up making you
feel uncomfortable.

Birthday ba--

IT MEANS A HUGE BIRTHDAY PARTY

No, I was just worrying for nothing.

Besides, the museum was fun.

Right?

Next time, I want to visit
the art museum nearby too.

Let's go.

-Colorful paintings make me happy.
-I'm a bit into Western art history.

I think I lack a bit
of academic curiosity…

No, I just don't have an artistic sense.

So, I'll see you at school.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm home!

Oh, you seem very happy!
