What do I do now?

But when we're together, I want to reach out to you.

Or I mean, I can't hold myself back.

I... I get it,

so just step away...

Kota.

I... still think it's too soon for that!

I've done it now.

I punched him without thinking. And...

- I can't do this! - I just left him like that and ran away.

I bet he's mad, for sure.

♫ During the day, things aren't looking up, and you're discouraged. Yeah! ♫

♫ No matter how tough things may be... You can overcome them, keep it up ♫

♫ Let's go! I'm right here within your reach ♫

♫ I'll catch you when you fall into despair ♫

♫ I'm here for you. Never leave you ♫

♫ The vast world ♫

♫ Could bewilder us from time to time ♫

♫ I hope you'd never change because you're perfect the way you are ♫

[Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!]

Anyway, [Episode 5: Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Fall in Love!]

I should apologize before he goes home. [Episode 5: Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Fall in Love!]

I mean, I want to keep being... with him...

Wait, this isn't right.

Don't forget why you're with him.

It's to get rid of your bad luck and have a happy life.

I decided to stay with him even if I have to lie.

Things need to go back to how they were before.

First, I need to find him.

- Found him! - Naoya!

- What is your next class? Let's go together. - Sure.

- What lousy timing! - Want one?

- I'll take it. - Here.

- Thanks. - Let's go then.

In that case, it's time to wait by the door.

I don't care if I look like a stalker.

He's coming.

Now is my chance.

Naoya's coming through, sorry!

Naoya, aren't you too popular?

I know, right?

I'll get him for sure during lunch.

- He's here. - What should I eat?

Naoya and you guys!

- Hey, Naoya, can we sit with you? - Can we?

- To eat? - Yeah.

We can sit together.

- Sit with us. - Please.

- It's fine as long as you two don't mind. - We don't mind.

What's up with his popularity?

Professor Kawahara's lecture in the afternoon.

He should be here, too.

[Learning Cube 5]

- I'll get him this time. - Can you come?

I'll pass.

- I'm not in the mood. - I was hoping you would come.

Come on, you have to call out to him.

All right.

What is it, Naoya?

Oh, it's nothing.

- Hey, you're scaring me. - Sorry about that.

- What were you looking at? - It was nothing.

- What was it? - Don't worry about it.

I can't...

Every time I move toward him, I get nervous.

At this rate, I can't even talk to him, let alone apologize.

Hey, it's you, Kota!

- Oh, Yashiro. - Hey.

You're naturally unlucky?

That's hard to believe.

Yeah, it was wrong of me to bring it up.

It depends on how you look at it.

You wouldn't understand my struggles.

Do you know Alexander Fleming, the microbiologist?

He discovered penicillin.

Oh, sure, I know the name.

They say mold got in a Petri dish during his experiment.

Usually, when you see mold, you'd consider it a failure

and would throw the entire dish out.

But he kept the dish and continued to observe it.

Then, he noticed that the staphylococcus

didn't grow in the moldy Petri dish.

So he accidentally discovered how mold works as a sterilizer.

That's how the penicillin we use for pneumonia and tetanus,

or what we call antibiotics, were born.

Is that so?

So what I'm trying to say

is that good luck comes to everyone in equal measure.

What's important is to notice

and make use of it when it arrives.

I wanted to give this to you.

Want one?

- I'll take it. - Here.

Naoya always does that so naturally.

But I only know this...

because Professor Kawahara made me read his book. [Psychology Lecture]

Hey, aren't you supposed to be in his class right now?

- Oh, right! - Skipping class?

Well, it happens.

I'll hang with you whenever you want to skip classes.

As your senior in the seminar, you can tell me anything. Got it?

- Wow, thanks a lot. - Tell me everything.

- All right, got it. - Really?

Hey, Kota, what's wrong?

You weren't in class earlier.

Sorry, I just felt a little ill.

Really? You feel better now?

Yes, I'm feeling much better now.

Great, stay healthy.

Thank you.

Oh, I assigned a report, so go ask your classmates.

Okay, I will.

And...

Buy this book, okay? [Psychology Lecture]

Oh, sure. Of course.

I will.

I have to buy that book, too?

If the professor is here, that means the class has ended.

I have to go apologize now.

Wow, it actually came out. Nice, Naoya.

Your luck is the real thing.

It's a coincidence.

Come on, it happens too often to be a coincidence.

Oh right! I can't finish two,

so would you like one, Senior?

Then I'll take it.

He got another extra drink.

And he's giving it away again.

- Isn't that great, Naoko? - Yeah.

Your good luck is amazing, Naoya.

He is amazing. He's nothing like me.

Maybe he's nice to others because he has the luck to spare.

- I thought you were my friend. Being with Naoya today... - Shut up.

You'd be an unlucky man, instead of being lucky.

It must be nice to have everything.

I wish I could've been like that.

Come on! We're begging you, Naoya.

You did it for us before.

Come on, please.

What's different this time?

It's because I didn't know what you two were up to.

Huh? What's happening?

- That's not true. - That's just a misunderstanding.

- We haven't done anything wrong. - We can explain everything.

Hey, what are you talking about?

Well...

We just wanted some juice, too.

Yeah, that's all.

- Naoko, can you go save us seats for our next class? - What?

Please?

Fine.

Thanks.

You're so nice.

See you soon.

Hey, Naoya.

Don't talk about it in front of her.

It's different this time.

Yeah, these tickets are really hard to get.

I can't trust you.

I'll consider if you want to use the tickets.

But if you're thinking about just reselling them,

I won't help you with that.

You're so annoying.

What a pain!

He's so obnoxious.

What's with him?

So useless.

What the hell, Naoya!

You're so cool!

Until now,

I thought he was only being nice

because he was the guy who had it all.

But I was wrong.

He doesn't just have good luck.

He has a big heart and thinks of others.

- Kota, over here. - Oh, okay.

That's great.

I got seats for a dolphin show.

He thinks about giving others joy

and works hard so that others are happy.

Then let's use ylang-ylang.

Anyone would look up to someone like that

and fall in love.

After thinking about how to face him,

it's suddenly night now.

That Naoya is totally useless.

You can be pretty awful, huh?

You said so yourself earlier.

I mean, Naoya is guaranteed to get the tickets.

- I thought we'd rake in some money. - Those guys were talking to Naoya earlier.

You wanted to get some cash to play around with Naoko, right?

You're an idiot.

He's not taking advantage of his luck, so I'm doing it for him.

I feel sorry for Naoya, getting liked by a jerk like you.

I don't really like him.

I'm only interested in his good luck.

Just think, if I bet money on some horse races...

Who's this guy?

What the hell are you doing?

Shut up, you trash!

What the hell did you say?

Shut up. Why don't you fix your attitude?

- You're full of shit. - No, you are!

- What the heck? - Hey, hold on! Stop it!

You shut up, too!

Looking at you two makes me pissed off.

It's like looking at myself in a mirror.

Stop spouting nonsense!

Come on, get up.

Hey, get up, you punk.

What happened to your truculence earlier?

Come on, fight back.

Come on.

I'm the same as these guys.

I only paid attention to Naoya's good luck and nothing else.

- Watch out! - What?

You can choose what we do.

- I used him. - Really?

I can't let my boyfriend get sick.

I took advantage of such a kind, honest guy.

The date ends once your lover gets home, right?

Of course, I want my partner to feel comfortable.

I'm the worst.

Naoya is an amazing guy.

He has everything he wants.

I'm boiling with envy.

But his good luck isn't all there is to him!

He is able to share his luck.

That's why people love him.

It's not something anyone can do.

Scum like you two who don't hold any remorse

have no right to talk about Naoya!

- Who are they? - I don't know.

- Are they fighting? - So scary.

Should we go get a professor?

Who is that?

- Do you know him? - Isn't that Kota?

- No way. - Yeah, it's him.

- Kota? - It can't be him.

I'd never have imagined...

This is crazy.

Let's go get a professor.

He found out.

O... Ouch.

Sorry.

It's fine.

So awkward. I can't look up at him.

All that's left is the band-aid.

- Kota. - Yes?

Thanks.

What?

Earlier, you got mad for my sake. Right?

So... it made me happy.

Thanks.

I have no right to hear those words from you.

Show me your wound.

Come on.

What's wrong?

You're wrong.

I... um...

was lying and taking advantage of you, too.

What?

I've always naturally had bad luck.

But when I'm by your side, all of that goes away.

I think it's because of your good luck.

Dating you was a lie, too.

- Naoya, I have something else I want to talk about. - Okay.

If I want to use this guy and his good luck,

I'll have to...

I was hoping we could stay together always.

Sure.

You misunderstood me and I took advantage of that.

I put on an act.

The only person I know on this campus is you,

so I was wondering if we could tour the place together.

Sure thing.

Really? I'm so glad.

Naoya!

The strawberry parfait is delicious.

I wanted to win that for you.

As long as you're by my side,

I'm happy.

Disappointed, right? This is the real me.

Sorry for lying to you.

We were only together for a bit, but thank you.

I had fun.

Hey, hold on a second.

I'm... really sorry.

It's over.

It's all over.

What the hell? Why am I crying?

What the hell? Why am I realizing this now?

All of those superficial faces I put on...

The happiness I felt when I was with him...

None of that matters. I just don't want to hurt him.

That's how much I loved him, and yet...

How could I realize this now?

I'm so stupid.
