High school opening ceremony day.

In my class,

there's a girl who is absent because of cold.

Please take care of me.

That empty chair,

somehow looks lonely,

and so, I...

Hello?

Is your cold getting better?

Eh?

Ah, it is!

Ah, I mean... I'm all healed.

I see.

Glad to hear that.

Hearing that voice coming from the receiver,

Thank you very much.

somehow, my heart keeps pounding...

But, I'm sure this girl will be surprised once she got to see me.

Of course it's because,

I am hiding behind this paper bag.

That's what I thought, but...

Um...

Are you...

...Matsubara-kun?

Yes, I'm Matsubara.

Because you are like that, Matsubara-kun...

I fall in love with Matsubara-kun.

I want to know you better.

I want to hear your voice even more...

That's why...

This girl,

not even once, asking about the reason I'm wearing a paper bag.

She's a bit different than any others.

Koe Koi

Episode 12: The Heart's Destination

Macchan.

Yu-chan? Did you wait for me?

Something happened?

Yoshioka-san's face were all red and she stormed out earlier.

So?

What are you going to do, Macchan?

I will give her an answer in a proper way.

A proper way is...?

That's...

Without this paper bag.

If I can't show her my true self,

my answer won't matter.

You think so? - Yes.

Somehow,

you've changed, Macchan.

Is that so?

It might be true.

But, you see,

Yoshioka-san doesn't even care about that thing, right?

Maybe.

But, that's exactly why...

Macchan, go, go.

First thing first, is dealing with my own feelings.

You'll be okay. If something happens, I'm here.

Don't say that.

Surprisingly, Matsubara might confess back to you, you know?

Aki-chan!

I can't even face Matsubara-kun, now.

Um, Yoshioka-san.

Good morning.

Morning.

Where's Matsubara-kun and Yoshioka-san?

Yoshioka-san got another cold, it seems.

Matsubara-kun is taking her to the infirmary.

Okay, I got that.

Then, sensei got some announcements to make.

Um...

About what Yoshioka-san said, yesterday...

Uh... um...

The confession...

...is really heard, then?

I'm really happy,

to hear what Yoshioka-san said.

That's why, I also...

want to tell Yoshioka-san how I feel, right now.

Okay.

Yesterday,

I told Yoshioka-san a story about myself.

I wasn't telling you the story just because I need someone to hear me out.

It's because I want you to know the real me.

If I can't show the real me, and stay as a coward,

I don't deserve to be with Yoshioka-san.

That's what I thought.

I want you to know this.

Um...

Yoshioka-san is... no matter on what condition,

always listen to my voice with great care,

and that really makes me happy.

So, I...

I mean...

I...

about Yoshioka-san...

Matsubara-kun?

I... with my real self...

to Yoshioka-san...

I... with my real self...

to Yoshioka-san...

My love for you,

will not be affected by the paper bag.

That's why, take your time.

Anytime is fine.

Yoshioka-san...

But,

when the day you want to remove it comes,

if I can be by your side,

I'd be happy.

Thank you.

Will you promise me that?

Yes.

Since then, my every single day,

has become a better day.

Morning. - Good morning.

Just knowing that another morning comes by, I feel happy.

Two melon breads, please.

More than yesterday,

I have a whole new happiness, today.

Then, who wants to read the next phrase?

That moment when you feel fluffy all down to the feet,

it's my first time feeling it.

You are getting better in basketball.

Really? - Yes.

Should I, at least, cut my hair?

Why?

It's just,

when I see Yukko and the others,

I feel like I should move on,

and try to find a new love.

Something like that.

For me,

I like long hair, better.

Eh?

Matsubara-kun. - Yes?

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Having more and more happiness every day,

sometimes, I can't help but feeling scared.

When she finally saw my face, is there really,

nothing will change between us?

Will everyone really,

willing to accept me without this paper bag?

Matsubara-kun.

Do you have a minute?

Yes.

Um...

If you don't mind, I can hear you out.

Kaichou,

during the new semester,

do you remember that you said I've been hiding myself from everyone?

Yes.

I keep thinking about what Kaichou told me that day.

Matsubara-kun,

my assumption on what kind of person you are,

have been greatly changed this past whole year.

Precisely because you have a simple expression,

I can understand what you are thinking about.

It's too obvious.

Eh?

Lately, you are hesitant to break out of your shell, aren't you?

Look at your surroundings.

Don't you think everyone around you,

are willing to understand about your reason?

Makoto?

I've been looking for you.

Thank you very much.

Something happened with Paperbag-kun?

Not really.

Makoto.

You've changed.

Is that so.

Yoshioka-san...

I...

I...

Matsubara-kun!

Sorry, I made you wait.

It's fine.

I wonder what will happen if I took this off?

How will people reacts to it?

I kept thinking about it.

How will it be?

No one,

and nothing will change.

Right.

Because,

no matter what happened,

Matsubara-kun will always be Matsubara-kun.

Right.

Yoshioka-san,

I am in love with you.

Good work as Student Council President.

Good work as Vice President, as well. - Kaichou-san!

Yoshioka-san.

Congratulations on your graduation.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

No, I feel the same.

See you.

Being a nice girl up to the last moment, how sinful.

Um, Kaichou, I have one last request.

What is it? - That is...

Can I have your second button?

The second button is the one closest to the heart and is said to contain the emotions from all three years attendance at the school. Asking for it can be considered as confession (but of course our innocent Kaichou doesn't know this lol)

You want something like that?

Then,

you can have this.

Falling for a slow guy means you have a long way ahead, you know?

I know.

I see. Ah, wait! - Huh? What is it?

Let's recruit him to the student council.

If he is senpai's recommendation...

No, that's too much trouble, I don't want to.

No, excuse me. - Hey, wait.

Interested in student council?

No way.

More importantly, when will you cut your hair?

I'll let it be, for awhile. - Eh?

Well... you like long hair better, right?

Huh? Where's Matsubara?

I'll call him over.

Matsubara-kun!

Here you are.

Everyone is waiting.

Okay.

Let's go, Matsubara-kun.

The first time I hear your voice,

I... feel my heart pounding.

I want to hear your voice even more.

This pumpkin is good.

Thank goodness.

Hey, Matsubara-kun.

What is it, Yoshioka-san?

Again and again,

I want to hear your voice.
