Stop crying already, Usami.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault! Now our dream of eating ice cream together is--

SUZUME CANDY SHOP

We're literally eating it.

It's pointless unless we buy it using Tsuka-chan's money!

If only my last pitch was a decent one...

That walk-off home run was pretty incredible.

Way to kick me when I'm down!

Cheer up! Have some takoyaki on the house.

For real?!

Lightning-fast mood change...

Alrighty, I'm gonna start training now for next year.

Gotta take down Class 2!

We don't even know if it'll be baseball next year.

What? Okay, then I'll train in all sports!

- What? - Why not?!

- Guys. - Yeah?

Do you have some time after this?

THE FRAGRANT FLOWER BLOOMS WITH DIGNITY

Allow me to introduce you.

From Kikyo Girls'...

I'm Kaoruko Waguri.

I'm Hoshina.

And from Chidori...

I'm Usami.

I'm Yorita.

I'm Natsusawa.

Apologies for having you come all this way on such short notice.

No, it's no problem at all.

We got off school early because we had our sports comp today.

Oh, is that so?

How did the competition go?

How did it go? We were runners-up!

That must be gut-wrenching.

It was a super tight match.

Wow, he's already comfortable around them.

Hey, did they choose this place far away from school because...

So they wouldn't get caught, probably.

So about why we asked you to come today.

Thank you very much for your help yesterday.

Thank you very much.

No need for thanks!

Glad you're okay!

And...

we'd like you all to enjoy these, if you wish.

What? All of these?

A token of our gratitude.

Thank you so very much.

No, we should be thanking you for this.

Yo...

"Yo"?

You're all so kind.

Geez.

Thanks.

Can we eat these now?

Yes, help yourself.

You're really something else.

Um...

- Hmm? - Huh?

Before, at the library...

I loathed you all at first sight without even knowing you,

just for being Chidori students,

and said terrible things about you.

I was... truly awful.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Hey, my bad,

but I don't remember what you said that day.

What?

What?

What's your deal?!

It was, like, a month ago!

Does your memory go back that far?!

Of course, I remember. It was a pretty big fight.

Seriously?

Well...

As you can tell, it totally didn't bother me.

I'm always getting dissed, so...

I'm sorry too.

I said some terrible things to you too.

So I'm sorry.

It's really okay.

- Saku admitted his feelings... - Got a problem with that?

- You're all grown-up now. - Say, Subaru?

Your gift!

- Are you blushing, little Saku? - Can it.

Guess you do have a cute side.

Excuse me.

I've also brought something to apologize and to show my appreciation.

Here, if you like.

Get a load of these fancy-looking cookies!

I've seen them on TV before!

The cookies are so popular here that they're always sold out!

You sure know a lot, Rintaro.

My mom likes these kinds of things.

Thanks, Ms. Hoshina and Ms. Waguri!

Thanks!

The pleasure is ours.

Guys, let's have a snack party!

You two should join us.

Can we really?

I'm fine.

C'mon, have some with us.

But...

I'm a Kikyo student, so...

Huh?

We don't care about that stuff.

We know your school doesn't like us.

That's the only reason we try to avoid you.

We're not trying to give you a bad time, or anything.

Rintaro told us all about you guys.

How you're decent people who've been treating him well.

Cut that out.

It's gotta be the truth if it's coming from Rintaro.

Enough with all the "But I'm a Kikyo student,"

and apology stuff.

Let's all get along now.

Thank you...

POTERIKO

What was all that hatred that I had for Chidori all this time?

Kaoruko was right.

You don't know anything unless you see it for yourself.

I ate so much!

I never thought the day we'd get along and eat snacks with Kikyo would ever come.

Yeah.

Oh, Ms. Hoshina!

Do you have a sec?

Huh?

Go on, Subaru.

Right.

Where did you buy those cookies?

What's the point of finding out?

I'll make Tsuka-chan buy from there for next year's sports comp.

As if he would. Sorry, Ms. Hoshina.

Looks like Subaru's going to fit in. I'm so glad.

And I'm glad you managed to talk to your friends too, Rintaro.

Yeah. Thanks.

- Ms. Waguri? - Yes?

I want to find a way to thank you for helping me study.

Can I do anything for you?

I've racked my brains and came up with nothing.

No pressure though.

I want to go out somewhere with you.

THE FRAGRANT FLOWER BLOOMS WITH DIGNITY

Can we?

Who knew that you were such a genuine guy, Rintaro?

Vouching for them and telling us to trust you.

Didn't take you for someone so straightforward.

I feel like you've changed.

That moment Usami said that to me...

why was it that what popped into my head was...

UMEMIYA

Man, I'm so nervous I could die.

KAORUKO WAGURI I'M ALMOST THERE!

Studying was why we met up for the study session before.

But today's different. It's a...

I'm totally looking forward to our date today.

- Da-- - Me too.

Nope, no way! We're just going to hang out somewhere!

Quit creating things outta nothing!

I'm taking Ms. Waguri out to thank her.

My top priority is to make sure she has a good time.

Rintaro?

Ms. Waguri?

Looks like we were on the same train.

Guess so.

Rintaro.

Thank you for granting my request.

I've been super excited about today.

You have?

Okay, let's go!

To the aquarium!

They're so pretty.

Yeah.

I haven't been here in so long, so everything feels new.

I last went when I was a middle-schooler.

I haven't been since I went with my family in elementary school.

Really? That's a pretty long time ago.

I remember ignoring all the small fish because I wanted to see the big ones.

I get that. Sharks and stuff are cool.

Yeah, they are.

By the way, what was it you wanted to see the most?

The dolphin show, was it?

Yeah! It was featured on TV.

They've changed the performance for a limited time only.

I thought it'd be nice to seize the chance and watch it with you.

It starts at three, so it'd be great if we could see all the exhibits by then.

Oh, but we gotta eat lunch,

and there are rides I want to go on too.

There's also the sea lion mini show...

Do we have enough time?!

We'll be fine.

There's plenty of time.

But aren't there places you want to go?

I'm totally fine.

Let's do everything you want to do today.

Okay!

- Let's eat. - Let's eat.

Whoa, this is tasty!

It's so good!

Look, there are clownfish in here!

You're right! Wow.

They're adorable.

Ms. Waguri?

Once again, I want to thank you for helping me study,

dealing with the guys,

and everything you've done.

Sure.

How did the sports competition go?

It was a blast.

Rintaro.

We've got a bit of time before the dolphin show,

so tell me about the fun you had.

I'd love to hear it.

Okay.

Should we get going?

Sounds good. I can't wait for the dolphin show!

Actually, could I stop by the bathroom before that?

Sure. I'll wait for you.

Sorry, I'll be right back.

My treasure.

I'm actually having a good time,

but I gotta say, Ms. Waguri's super cute today!

How many times has that thought crossed my mind today?

Wait, is Ms. Waguri having fun?

She's been smiling, so I guess so?

What is all of this?

The dolphin show's about to start.

Thanks for waiting.

Oh, Rintaro.

Who's the kid?

She's lost.

She seemed anxious, so I approached her.

Yeah?

Do you mind if we look for her parents?

I don't, but didn't you want to see the dolphin show?

I don't mind. I can't leave her knowing she's lost.

Hey, do you know where you got split up?

There was a shark.

Oh, I know where that is.

It'll be okay.

I'm gonna find your mom and dad.

Thanks!

That's right.

This is the kind of person Ms. Waguri is.

What's your name?

Mika.

Mika-chan? My name's Kaoruko.

And this person here is--

She's scared of me...

I'm Rintaro. Nice to meet you.

Rin-chan.

Rin-chan?

Okay, I'm going to go look for Mika's parents.

Wait, on your own?

If we all go to look for her parents, we might end up missing each other.

I see.

Could you wait here with Rin-chan, Mika-chan?

Okay.

Rin-chan...

Please look after her, Rintaro.

Got it.

Okay, I'll be back!

I guess we should sit down.

- I'm sorry. - Huh?

Sorry for causing you trouble.

It's no trouble at all. Totally okay.

But...

I interrupted your date with Kaoruko-chan.

Date?

I mean, you two are lovers, right?

Love?! No, it's not like that...

Really?

But going on a date sounds nice.

In one ear and out the other...

I wanna go on a date with Daiki too.

Daiki?

Yeah! He's in Class Plum, like me.

I've got a crush on him.

He's amazing.

He's the fastest kid in kindergarten!

And he's great at iron bar flips!

And he eats a bunch at lunch!

Does he?

You must really like Daiki.

Yeah, he's the best!

When I see Daiki smile,

it makes me happy.

Yeah?

Hold up. Am I...

Mika-chan! Rintaro!

- I found them! - Mika!

Mommy! Daddy!

Gosh.

I told you not to go off on your own like that.

I'm sorry.

Thank goodness.

I found them while I was calling out for them on my search.

Thank you very much.

I apologize for the trouble we have caused.

Not at all, I'm glad you were reunited.

And we also had fun chatting with Mika-chan ourselves.

Thanks, Rin-chan and Kaoruko-chan.

- You're welcome. - You're welcome.

Okay, let's go.

Wait just a second.

Rin-chan, let me tell you something.

I think you and Kaoruko-chan make a perfect couple.

What?!

That's all.

Bye-bye, Rin-chan.

Bye-bye to you too, Kaoruko-chan.

Bye-bye.

Don't get lost again now.

I won't!

I'm so glad.

What a relief.

The dolphin show's over now, so let's head home.

If you're still okay for time,

it looks like there's a night show too.

What do you say?

Really?! I'd love to go!

The performance will be starting shortly!

Get ready for this full-body experience dolphin show

featuring projection mapping throughout the arena,

and curtains of water using cutting-edge effects!

We hope you enjoy it!

Awesome.

It's way more intense than what I saw on TV.

I'm glad we managed to see it.

Yeah!

Thank you, Rintaro.

I wasn't expecting any sort of thanks.

I was just happy to be of help to you.

That's why I'm so glad that it's led to this outing today.

Thanks a bunch for today.

I had so much fun.

Sure.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think

that I would feel this way about someone.

When I see Daiki smile,

it makes me happy.

It's all so clear to me.

These feelings that are vividly leaping out,

I can't ignore them anymore.

No.

EPISODE 8: THE MEANING OF THESE FEELINGS

I can't.
