I can't go out with you anymore.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I have always thought that he was like my little brother.

When he got a girlfriend, I rooted for him and gave him advice.

But...

I didn't think it'd be so tough

to see him together with Yuumi-chan.

I thought of you seriously.

But...

But, I just can't get Kouichi out of my head!

I'm sorry, Kai-kun.

Sorry!

Mao-neechan hasn't come back yet?

Weren't you with her?

She said she had something to do, so she left first.

I'm not sure, then.

She didn't bring an umbrella, either.

I hope she doesn't get soaked because of the rain.

How is Mao-neechan?

She has a pretty bad fever.

I see.

Well, of course she'd catch a cold if she was like that.

You're completely soaked, Mao-chan!

You had something to do, wasn't it a date?

Where were you walking, to become like that?

Forget it and bring some towels, Kouichi.

Sorry, there weren't any places where I could take shelter.

Summer is going to end after tomorrow.

It went by so fast.

We have to go to school the day after tomorrow.

School, huh?

I don't feel like going.

I wish we could have a longer vacation.

I didn't get to play at all because of the Udon Association and the Movie Club's filming.

Hey, let's go play somewhere, onii-chan!

Like where?

Like the amusement park?

No way, why do I have to go there with my sister at this age?

Come on, let's go!

Ah, it's the phone.

Hello?

Oh, Sakino, what is it?

Sakino!

You're really a heaven-sent help.

Like you're God, Buddha, or Asuka-sama.

What's with that?

Don't worry about it.

So, what did you want?

Just wait a bit.

Ah, she's here!

Futami-san...

I'm glad you came, Futami-san.

What's the meaning of this?

I thought it'd be better if you two had a talk.

I think it's weird to kiss because of an experiment.

But I also feel bad that it ended because of me.

I'll let you two talk alone now.

Ah, Sakino!

Can we talk for a bit?

Sure.

It's been a while.

Yeah.

How was your summer?

Nothing special.

I see.

Um...

The swings, huh?

When I was young, I used to play a lot on the swings with Kouichi and Mao-neechan.

Come.

Come?

Where to?

Have a seat.

Here.

Thanks.

That was intense...

What is it?

I was just thinking that it's been a while since I drank your coffee.

Hey, Futami-san.

What?

Why did you want to end it?

It's fine if you don't want to talk about it.

Why do people love?

Why do people fall in love with other people?

I started the experiment because I wanted to know why.

Why do people fall in love with other people?

I don't think anyone knows why they fall in love.

They just kind of realize that they're in love.

You too?

Me?

Is it?

I-I guess.

I see.

What about you?

In that case, why do people's feelings change?

That's...

That's because they've found someone else they like.

Or they thought their feelings were wrong.

If so, they should have stayed alone right from the start.

But didn't you say that it wasn't bad to be with everyone?

In the end, people are alone.

Futami-san...

That's why...

The experiments are over.

Mao-neechan has a cold?!

Yeah.

Sanada called me earlier about it.

It's all because you worked her hard.

How rude.

Well, it's true that I might have pushed her with such an urgent request.

Did you come here to say that?

No.

Sorry for the wait, here's your chilled udon!

Thank you.

You changed it, didn't you?

The dashi.

Has Mao-neechan gotten a bit better?

Yeah, her fever has gone down a bit since the morning.

She should be better if she rests for the day.

So she still has a fever.

Yeah.

She's gotten much better.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing, Hoshino-san?

It's because I asked her to take on the role.

So I figured she's caught a cold because she was tired from it.

No.

It's not your fault.

But...

Thanks for worrying.

But I'm sure she's fine now.

I see, then take care.

Yeah.

Mao-neechan?

How are you feeling?

I guess I should replace it.

Auntie...

Ready...

Start!

I've really fallen in love with you!

Won't you become my husband?

Sanada-san.

Sanada-san!

Cut!

What are you doing, spacing out like that?

Sorry.

I was thinking about something.

All right then, let's try once more!

We'll start where you left off.

Sorry!

Let me take a small break.

Hey, hey, what's with the sudden break?

I'm sorry.

No, you don't need to apologize.

Let's take a break, then.

I've prepared some tea over there.

Tea!

It's snack time!

Snacks! Snacks! Snacks! Udon!

It'd be bad if I woke her up.

I'm glad you have an appetite now.

Oh, that book.

That's Kouichi's, isn't it?

You still held on to it after all.

That slide earlier was great!

You should be serious like that all the time.

I'll do so from now on, then.

I decided that I'd do my best in soccer and forget all of it.

Forget what?

Futami-san told me bluntly that the experiments are over.

Sorry.

I didn't want you to meet just so that could happen.

What are you saying?

I'm glad that I was able to talk to Futami-san.

It's all thanks to you.

So, thank you.

But...

Come on, don't be so gloomy, okay?

I'll treat you to something as thanks,

and then this discussion will be over.

Okay.

I wonder what I should have you get me, then?

Make it someplace cheap, since I haven't gotten my allowance yet, okay?

I didn't hear you.

Are you going to work now?

Yeah.

Ah...

Did something happen with Mao-neechan?

On that rainy day, Mao-neechan...

Came back all soaked.

We broke up.

Broke up?

Why?

I've got work now.

Mao-neechan.

I'm coming in.

I met Kai-san today.

Is it true that you two broke up?

Why?

It doesn't have anything to do with you.

That's true, but...

Just leave me alone.

I can't leave you alone!

Not after hearing you two broke up.

Tell me if there's anything I can do for you.

I'll do anything.

Why are you like that?

Why are you always so kind?

It bothers me, so don't be so kind!

Why, you say?

I always want you to be happy.

So, if you ever want to talk to Kai-san again,

I'll go ask Kai-san

Stop it!

But you still like him, don't you, Mao-neechan?

So, you...

The one I like is you, Kouichi!

Get out.

I've always been chasing her from behind since I was young.

Mao-neechan was kind, strong, and brilliant.

And this very Mao-neechan likes me.

What should I do?
