‎GRADE 2 CLASS 2

‎So, we've decided on
‎Aladdin and the Magic Lamp‎.

‎PLAY
‎ALADDIN, MOMOTARO, OPERA, ALICE

‎-Yay!
‎-Wow!

‎All right, who wants to be in the cast?

‎GRADE 2 CLASS 2
‎CLASS REPRESENTATIVES

‎EXCITED

‎Right here!

‎Glance.

‎Glancing… Glance.

‎WHOA

‎No, no, no!

‎Tch…

‎BECKON

‎Swish.

‎OH…
‎WHOA…

‎Aw, I love you.

‎No, not like that, though.

‎Can we finish without working
‎over summer break?

‎Okay, let's work out
everyone's schedules.

‎Love how proactive they all are.

‎HOMEROOM TEACHER

‎This distance between Hikawa and me…

‎Seems like we get closer,
‎then drift apart…

‎Am I just imagining it?

‎Might as well go all out on the backdrop.

‎WAVE WAVE

‎LOOKS AWAY

‎If I…

‎just gave up completely,

‎then nothing would happen

‎and no one would get hurt.

‎But I can't help wanting
‎to close this distance.

‎Is that just selfish of me?

‎NINE MOMOKA - CAN'T WAIT
‎FOR THE CONCERT TOMORROW!

‎Can't wait for the concert tomorrow!

‎EPISODE 16
‎STOP AND GO

‎Okay.

‎Amamiya--

‎Nice to meet you.

‎I'm Aoyagi.

‎Who'd you think he was?

‎We're on the soccer team together.

‎They said they were going
‎to the band concert, so I tagged along.

‎Nice to meet you.

‎The venue's that way.

‎Thank you very much!

‎MEITEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND

‎-Maru!
‎-What? Where did Amamiya and Hino go?

‎Oh, Yota said he'd watch from the back
‎since he's tall.

‎Amamiya went that way too.

‎Oh, then I'll go too.

‎Yeah!

‎What?

‎Are you okay?

‎LOCAL LINES [EAST EXIT GATES]
‎SUBWAY [WEST EXIT GATES]

‎Well, we're headed that way.

‎Amamiya.

‎What's wrong?

‎No. Never mind.

‎See you.

‎SUBWAY

‎Why don't you either lead her on
‎or push her away?

‎Of course I know how Kuriki feels.

‎But,
‎I can't return her feelings right now.

‎But still…

‎I just don't see why it's wrong

‎not to push someone away.

‎Oh, man!

‎BREADSTICKS

‎Oh, you're awake.

‎Wait, you're eating something.

‎Feeling down?

‎Want some bread too?

‎Wait, Koyun brought this?

‎Here.

‎Thanks.

‎MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

‎SO PEACEFUL…

‎Wait, what's going on here?

‎GRIN

‎THUD

‎WHOA

‎SPRING UP

‎What? That just now…

‎What was that? That was so cute.

‎I told you!

‎BONK BONK BONK

‎I'm fine being friends.

‎All the more reason if you're friends.

‎You should be able to

‎talk normally when you're together.

‎I'd started wondering
‎how I should act around him.

‎But I realized we're friends,

‎and things are just the same as before.

‎I feel a lot clearer now.

‎You do?

‎Wanna go back to class?

‎If you drop that weird face.

‎HUP HUP

‎SNAP

‎GRIN

‎HEH

‎What's with that face?

‎GRIN

‎HEH - HEH

‎Later.

‎What was that?

‎I thought she'd been avoiding me lately.

‎Wait…

‎I'll get the wrong idea.

‎No, no, no. That's not it.

‎I'm not going to resent her
‎for not feeling the same.

‎These feelings are one-sided.

‎They're mine and mine alone.

‎WICKED WIZARD - AMAMIYA

‎I'm the villain?

‎So…

‎It'd suit you.

‎Hey…

‎What's that supposed to mean?

‎LOOKS AWAY

‎Wow…

‎She looks so happy.

‎So, just a little longer…

‎Koyun.

‎Hey.

‎Let me see how you really feel.

‎Wanna go somewhere over summer break?

‎If I don't have a chance,
‎I'll back off for good.

‎Well…

‎Yeah.

‎Sure.

‎That sounds good.

‎We should all go somewhere again.

‎Yeah.

‎We'll figure out a day.

‎All of us.

‎Yeah.

‎Later.

‎That was close. Too close.

‎I almost got the wrong idea again.

‎For a second,
‎I thought he meant just the two of us.

‎No.

‎I can't get my hopes up.

‎I don't want to get my hopes up,
‎get excited, then end up disappointed.

‎Get over it. Move on.

‎Oh, Koyun.

‎Momoka.

‎Oh, I went to a concert
‎with Amamiya the other day.

‎TWITCH

‎When the crowd suddenly rushed in,
‎he helped me out.

‎He was so cool.

‎It totally made my heart skip a beat.

‎I see.

‎I'm thinking of asking him
‎to hang out again over summer break.

‎What do you think?

‎Why would she choose me
‎to talk about this?

‎In the first place, why did she suddenly
‎start getting close to me?

‎What's in it for her?

‎A buffer?

‎A go-between?

‎She's my friend. So I love her.

‎To Amamiya, I'm not
really anyone special.

‎But, the same goes for her.

‎I have no right to decide that for him.

‎I should just leave it alone.

‎If I keep getting involved,

‎I'll just face the part of me
‎I hate again.

‎What a pain.

‎Well, I'm going the other way, so…

‎See you.

‎How can she be so positive
‎and just go for it like that?

‎I don't care.

‎I don't, I don't.

‎My heart isn't that pure.

‎"You'll only get hurt,
‎so you should give up."

‎But I won't tell her that.

‎Momoka, is it true you're dating him?

‎Why? You knew
‎I loved him first, didn't you?

‎So what? Does liking him first
‎make you better?

‎He's the one who came on strong.

‎Don't go after someone else's guy!

‎If you hadn't come along,
‎we'd still be into each other.

‎Way too calculating and two-faced.

‎Shut up.

‎I don't care.

‎I was up-front
‎about my feelings this time.

‎So don't blame me later.

‎Even if she hates me,
‎I'm not pure-hearted anyway.

‎I won't apologize for it.

‎Not even for a second.

‎About what I told you
‎at the sports festival,

‎please forget I ever said that.

‎What? Why?

‎Because I want us
‎to stay friends after all.

‎I want to get rid of these feelings.

‎These feelings?

‎I don't have the courage
‎to end things properly like you did, Yota.

‎No, mine just got found out,
‎so I had to put an end to it.

‎I never planned to do anything
‎about it either,

‎so I get how you feel, Koyun.

‎Thanks.

‎It is what it is.

‎Oh, right.

‎Amamiya and I talked about all of us
‎hanging out again this summer break.

‎PREPARING
‎FOR THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL

‎Are you…

‎Well…

‎Are you okay with that?

‎Oh, yeah. I'm fine.

‎I'm the one who got it off my chest,
‎so I feel better.

‎I think Miki's probably the one
‎having a harder time.

‎Like what you said before…

‎WHAT? - I LOVE YOU
‎DIFFERENT TYPE

‎…love comes in all shapes and sizes.

‎LIKE - LOVE
‎DIFFERENT SIZE

‎Being on the receiving end is hard.

‎I bet.

‎MEITEN HIGH SCHOOL

‎So then he goes all the way
‎behind the school just to get some water.

‎Seriously?

‎"Can you meet me now?"

‎NINE MOMOKA
‎CAN YOU MEET ME NOW?

‎What's wrong?

‎Sorry for asking you
out here so suddenly.

‎I thought I'd wait for a better time
‎when it was convenient for you.

‎But I felt like that moment
‎would never come if I just kept waiting.

‎I couldn't wait any longer.

‎I love you, Amamiya.

‎Would you

‎be my boyfriend?

‎Sorry.

‎It means a lot to me, but…

‎SUMMER BREAK

‎Tsukiko.

‎We got some props that looked useful.

‎Thank you.

‎I'll leave these here.

‎Thank you too, Yota.

‎Sorry for making you help.

‎Well, I'm the carpet, so no lines for me.

‎Genie! Turn me into
‎the world's greatest wizard!

‎EEK…

‎Oh, the genie's being threatened.

‎Oh, good! Great!

‎CAST PRACTICING

‎The villain's really leveling up.

‎STARE

‎Hey!

‎The carpet has to join in now.

‎Okay, villain. Get sucked into the lamp.

‎LAMP [TEMPORARY]

‎And Aladdin and the princess
‎end up together. Happy ending!

‎Yota, what's with that pose?

‎I'm picturing how I'll look
‎in the carpet costume.

‎That'd be intimidating!

‎Maybe I should at least clap.

‎Wait.
‎Miki, did you change your hair color?

‎You only just noticed?

‎Sorry.

‎Well, I can pull off
‎pretty much any color.

‎Anything looks good on you, Miki.

‎Yeah!

‎I was just kidding though…

‎Amamiya.

‎You really went all in.

‎I mean…

‎it's hard to watch someone
‎act all embarrassed.

‎Good luck.

‎How are the sets coming along?

‎Tsukiko's sketching them out now.

‎Oh, hi.

‎Other than that,
‎we're still collecting materials.

‎I see.

‎Somehow, Amamiya and Koyuki
‎seem totally normal now.

‎So natural it's almost unnatural…

‎At the sports festival, they were
‎both awkward in the opposite way.

‎These two…

‎Did something happen?

‎Yeah. I'm okay.

‎I can talk to him normally now.

‎I think the way things are now
‎is just right.

‎I've always run away
‎from getting close to people.

‎But slowly, my world
‎feels like it's opening up.

‎Now I enjoy this class

‎and school too.

‎So the way things are now
‎feels comfortable,

‎just right.

‎Yeah, that's it.

‎I'm sure that's it.

‎Okay, that's enough for today.

‎-Nice work!
‎-Well done!

‎Oh, Koyun.

‎Hello.

‎Momoka, what's up?

‎Where did Minato go?

‎"Minato"?

‎We were supposed to go home together.

‎What?

‎What…

‎Minato didn't tell you?

‎We're dating.

‎What?

‎Would you

‎be my boyfriend?

‎Sorry.

‎It means a lot to me, but…

‎Because you love someone else,
‎you can't go out with me?

‎I can tell just by watching you

‎that there's someone you love.

‎You say my feelings
‎mean a lot to you, but…

‎I know you don't see me that way at all.

‎I know all that.

‎Does the girl you love

‎feel the same way about you?

‎Even if you love someone else,

‎I can't give up.

‎You really hit me where it hurts.

‎Doesn't it hurt?

‎You think it doesn't?

‎Then why not choose me?

‎You know,

‎I'm not as good a guy as you think I am.

‎I've dated people
‎just because they asked me to.

‎And I hurt a lot of people.

‎I don't think I should do that anymore.

‎So that's why you can't be my boyfriend?

‎Yeah.

‎You say

‎you're not a good person,

‎that you've hurt your ex-girlfriends.

‎But none of that

‎has anything to do with me, does it?

‎What?

‎I'm not even part of that equation.

‎What you don't like about me,
‎how you feel about me…

‎Anything you actually think
‎or feel about me,

‎none of that even comes into it,

‎because you don't see me at all.

‎That's just too sad.

‎I'm not even at the starting line.

‎I don't want to give up

‎on these feelings yet.

‎I love you.

‎Please give me a chance.

‎Don't cry, Kuriki.

‎Let's give it a try.

‎What?

‎-You mean it?
‎-Yeah.

‎Wow… Yay!

‎-"Yay"?
‎-Wow, no way!

‎Amamiya,
‎you actually carry a handkerchief, huh?

‎Handy at times like this, right?

‎Wow, that's so cheesy.

‎So, we're together now.

‎The two of us.

‎Honestly, I never thought I'd say that
‎in such a clumsy, desperate way.

‎But I'm the one dating him now.

‎Since when?

‎A little before summer break started.

‎Part of me does wonder
‎if Minato's hiding that we're dating.

‎Every time I saw her,
‎I couldn't stop feeling uneasy.

‎But once she wasn't an obstacle,

‎I couldn't care less

‎about her now.

‎Well, Koyun, I'm going to go find Minato.

‎Bye.

‎MEITEN HIGH SCHOOL

‎What?

‎Isn't that Minato and Kuriki?

‎Hey, quiet!

‎Wait, are those two dating?

‎Looks like it.

‎Koyun,
‎sorry we left you to clean up alone.

‎Sorry.

‎Koyun?
