Original subtitles

I’m… starving…

Hey, you! You!

What’s going on?

Ah, Kotori, well…

Oh my! We must get her to someplace warm soon, or she’ll die of a cold!

Asakura-kun, prepare a change of clothes for her!

Yeah!

And, get some spare underwear, for me.

Underwear?

Translation by Shinsen-Subs

During countless nights,

ikusen no yoru ni

幾千の夜に

each time I would think about you,

anata wo omoeba

あなたを想えば

I’d feel sad the road our loves tread on

kono koi no yukue

この恋の行方

would only miss each other

surechigai setsunai

すれ違い切ない

As I raise my eyes to the window,

furiyamanai ame

降り止まない雨

and see the unstopping rain,

mado kara miagete

窓から見上げて

the tears overflow in my heart as well.

watashi no kokoro ni mo namida afureta

私の心にも涙あふれた

But in the gaps between the clouds dancing in the sky

sora wo nagareru kumo no sukima ni

空を流れる雲の隙間に

light gently shines on me, as if the sky were smiling at me

hikari sashite sotto hohoemu you ni

光差して、そっと微笑むように

On that tree-lined pathway we both walked down

futari de aruita namikimichi

二人で歩いた並木道

in the cherry-blossom-colored season,

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

feelings of joy and merriness came together.

hashaida fuzakeatta omoi kasaneta

はしゃいだ、ふざけ合った 想い重ねた

The rain has now stopped falling on that tree-lined pathway

ameagari aruku namikimichi

雨上がり歩く並木道

and the season is colored by cherry blossoms.

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

We now walk and climb the stairs

kaidan nobotteku

階段上ってく

believing in our goal, our love…

ai no GOAL wo shinjiteyuku

愛のゴールを 信じてゆく

A map that can’t be read

Damn.

Okay. This, and that…

And now, the underwear.

Nemu…

There.

Nyaaa.

By the way…

Er…

My name is Kotori Shirakawa. Nice to meet you.

Ah. I’m Jun’ichi Asakura. And, what’s your name?

Aisia.

Aisia?

Thanks for the meal…

Then, Aisia, can you tell us a little more about you?

Aisia-chan, why were you outside this late in the rain?

Aisia?

Aisia-chan?

Thanks for everything. You really helped me out.

But, Asakura-kun. This girl…

I guess she was really tired,

I’ll ask her tomorrow when she wakes up.

Asakura-senpai… Asakura-senpai… has turned into a girl!

Eeh… So that’s what happened?

She collapsed on you without saying anything…

For God’s sake. There’s no way in hell I’d turn into a girl, is there?

Yeah, I guess.

I couldn’t let her down like that so I let her sleep here, but…

Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Is this…

A map of Hatsunejima?

Something’s marked there, on that spot…

Erm… You are looking for this place?

But I can’t quite make out what this is…

Looks like words written in English.

It’s been rainsoaked, so I can’t read it well.

That doesn’t look like English!

So what are you going to do, Asakura-senpai?

What I am, well…

It’s not everyday that Asakura comes late to school…

And it hasn’t happened too often, lately…

Perhaps something has happened to Asakura-sama…

Good morning! 2nd year 1st class Miharu Amakase, reporting the news!

Are you ready to go?

Well, for the time being, let’s go to some places that might look like this one…

If you remember something that could help, on the way. Please tell me.

Well, it’s not that I mind, but aren’t you feeling hot wearing that?

I’m fine.

Butcher Shop

I really can’t tell, with just that.

I see…

Really sorry.

No, thanks a lot.

Looks like we won’t be getting any clues, right?

Of my, if it isn’t Asakura-kun?

Oh, Moe-senpai! It’s been a while!

Yes, it has. I wonder how long.

Oh my! And who might that cute person beside you be?

Well, this is, there’s quite a long story to this…

Oh my, are you on a date? How nice for you.

N-N-No, it’s not like that!

Moe-senpai, are you running an errand?

Oh, yes. I must help with the domestic chores.

I must prepare the meal for lunch.

When you say “meal”… You must be talking about “nabe” again?

Of course! Today, to make it simple, I thought it would be a good idea to make a “Jouya Nabe”.

Oh, by the way, Moe-senpai. By chance, do you know where the place on this map would be?

Well, about the Jouya Nabe…

We have nabe every single night, but you don’t get enough of this particular one.

It just takes a lot of seaweed, pork meat, and any other ingredients that will mix well together.

I just became sooo addicted to it…

And, to make sure the seaweed is correctly impregnated by the soup,

…you have to cut it beforehand.

Thanks a lot. Let’s go, Aisia.

And, to bring out the taste of the other ingredients…

Really…

Even though she’s graduated, no matter what happens, she’s the only one that wouldn’t change.

How about going to the West of the island, next?

What’s wrong?

Damn! Of all the places to come, I had to come to the one place where I must not go!

There are lots of people.

Well, it is a school, after all.

Actually, I could have asked the others to help and got this done quicker.

The others?

Suginami, Kudo, and Mako, Nanako… Well, my friends.

You must also have a lot, right?

Friends…

Kazami Academy

Well, for the time being, let’s go. It’d be really bad if someone found us.

And what exactly, would be bad?

Kazami Academy

Kazami Academy

Kazami Academy

Kazami Academy

Koyomi-sensei!

Well, officially, I’m not a teacher here anymore.

Asakura! What are you doing out here at this time?!

Koyomi-sensei too… What are you doing here?

I thought you became a housewife and dedicated yourself to raising your children!

I only came to lookup something.

And, I’d like to ask that question to you.

I hope you’re not going to tell me you’re back to your old sluggish self,

as you’re very much in my sister’s debt!

Why, of course not.

I’m really grateful to Kotori!

Then, why!

Why, you! You’re not only skipping school, but you’re also into–?!

Oooh, so that’s your child, sensei?

Just as I had heard, he’s so cute!

Really?

Oh my, I’m even popular as a mother in the neighborhood!

Asakura… kun?

Oh? Asakura skipped school today?

Well, so it seems…

Looks like he’s caught a cold.

He didn’t tell you he’d skip school, Kotori?

Well, Asakura-senpai’s…

It can’t be,

could it be that it’s not a cold, but a disease so serious he can’t tell Shirakawa?

Err… No. It’s nothing that serious.

He was so lively, that… Err, I mean.

Do not fool us! Tell us clearly what happened!

So that WAS Asakura-kun, back there.

If you really want to get well, then AT LEAST come to school and eat my bento, damn it!

Shall I eat it in his place, then?

Well, that is, if you prepare the stomach-ache medicine and write me an excuse letter.

Like hell I will!

It won’t mean anything if you don’t hit me.

She’s dead.

Oh, Saitama-san! Are you okay? Hold on!

Well, I have something to do, so.

Well, well… We walked around for the whole morning, and didn’t find a single clue…

Didn’t you find out anything by yourself, Aisia?

Once upon a time, there was an island, that was famed for its cherry trees that wouldn’t wither.

Well, it’s not that old of a tale, it was the case two years ago.

And back then, the cherry trees here would always be in full bloom.

But…

Now, all of Hatsunejima’s cherry trees have become normal cherry trees.

Really?

So that was it? Did you come to Hatsunejima to see the cherry trees?

You should have come a little sooner, well, that’s a shame.

Oh, I see. It’s way past noon.

Since I knew it would end like this, I should have prepared something.

Okay.

Look carefully.

Here.

That’s just a little trick.

My late grandmother taught me it.

Your grandmother?

I hope you’ll like it, it’s Japanese candy.

What about you?

I’ll be fine. There, eat it.

So?

It’s too sweet…

But it’s really good.

Is that so?

But since it uses my body’s calories, if I do it even once, I’ll starve even more.

Ah, I can’t take anymore.

And it smells like there’s a yakisoba bread or something close by, when there shouldn’t.

You really have a good nose.

I came.

Oh, that’s!

So, Asakura-kun, you really were helping Aisia-chan.

Yeah. But unexpectedly, it’s not that easy at all.

And, you came just at the right moment when we were in trouble,

with a yakisoba bread just how I like it…

Just like an angel.

I knew it would turn out like this.

How about I help you too from now on?

But what about classes?

I decided to study on my own in the outdoors. In other words, to skip classes.

Are you okay with doing this?

I decided to do it, so… I’m counting on you, Aisia-chan!

Yes, thank you.

Okay, now we’ve replenished our fighting spirit, let’s get to it once more!

Yes!

And now, the sun’s setting.

That’s something you must take your time with.

Guess so.

Asakura-kun, your shoe.

I guess this one is a goner.

But we’re not making any progress, because we can’t read Aisia-chan’s map.

If only we could understand what was written here.

Oh. Looks like a language from Northern Europe.

Oh?

Probably from Sweden or Finland.

Ah?! Suginami-kun?!

Why the hell are you here?!

Why, of course.

Amakase was so obviously acting suspiciously.

And when Shirakawa heard that you had skipped class, she went after you.

By dissecting this situation, it becomes obvious that you’re not skipping because of some illness!

Well, that is…

And that’s where, as I was checking all the places where you would be likely to come,

I found the both of you.

But, then, why did you both skip classes together? And, unexpectedly enough,

tagging along with that young beauty who seems to have come right from a painting.

Of course, if the others back at school were to learn about this, they would make quite a racket.

Don’t stare at her like that!

Suginami-kun, if you know that much, can’t you read what’s written here?

Quite unfortunately, even I have not yet mastered Northern European languages.

And that’s all?

But, there’s no mystery I can’t solve!

Asakura, you’re being fooled by a language you have never seen before,

and forgetting one important truth!

An important truth?

As I said, this sentence is written in a Northern European language, but just look carefully.

Look at what is written near the mark on the memo.

By reading the roman letters, we might make out a noun out of it.

Oh, I see! If that was someone’s name, we might get a clue!

How could I have not noticed this?

Since it’s rainsoaked, you can’t read it well…

Y.

O.

S.

Is it an L, next?

The last ones must be N and O.

Yoshi–

Yoshino.

HUH?! Don’t tell me!

The place you were looking for was Sakura’s house?!

No way… We walked around all day, and as we finally reach our goal, we find out it was…

Just the next house.

This is what you call, literally, not being able to see the forest because of the trees.

Since you knew that was the name you were looking for, why didn’t you tell me first?

You didn’t ask me.

She’s quite spontaneous.

That means… You know Sakura?

Sakura?

The person I want to see is Grandma Yoshino.

Grandma?

This is…

Aisia, er… Sorry to say this, but the person you want to see is not here.

Huh?

The Yoshino family are relatives of my mother.

So, the “Grandma” here is also my grandmother.

Jun’ichi’s…

Here.

That’s just a little trick.

My late grandmother taught me it.

Jun’ichi’s…

Well, instead of reaching your goal, it’s more like you’re back to square one.

So, Asakura-kun.

Yeah, no matter what the reason is, Aisia-chan came to see my grandmother.

Then, for me to take care of her is quite normal.

Are you okay with that, Shirakawa?

Yes. Asakura-kun is so “safe” that it’s nearly a problem.

Oh.

Well, for the time being, until we know more about it,

don’t you go spreading weird gossip, Suginami.

The school’s newspaper club has no interest in things such as gossip. Don’t worry.

Like hell I can! You’re carrying a notebook!

For tonight’s dinner, we’ll have curry.

Well, for now, come on in.

I’ll ask you what your relationship with my grandmother was, later.

What’s wrong?

Take this.

You’ve helped me today, so…

For me? A present?

Eh, what could it be? Can I open it?

Wow, new sneakers?!

But, what should I do with…

Aisia, where did you get these from?

Wait a sec, then… You’re…

Yes. Nice to meet you, master.

Yes. Nice to meet you, master.

The gentle sun feels like a bubble floating and falling

yawaraka na hi ga toki ni maichiru utakata no you

柔らかな陽が 時に舞い散る 泡沫のよう

You were there in the future that bloomed that day in my heart

boku no kokoro ni ano hi saita mirai kimi ga iru

僕の心に あの日咲いた未来 君がいる…。

The day we passed by each other, we sang out our combined feelings

surechigau tabi ni hi kasaneta omoi wo

すれ違うたびに 重ねた想いを

to the sky, in this poem dedicated to the dawn

sora ni kanadeyou akatsuki no kono uta wo

空に奏でよう 暁のこの詩を

Ah, this path goes on forever,

aa owarinaki kono michi wo

終わりなき この道を

and we will never doubt it or stray from it

mayoinagara mo tokineru koto wa nai

迷いながらも 途切れる事のない

We’ll embrace that love

ai wo dakishimete

愛を 抱きしめて

The cherry blossoms are falling gently, carried by the wind…

sakura kaze kara koborete shizuku

桜風からこぼれた雫

and I want to watch them forever… together with you.

nee zutto issho ni mitsumeteitai

ねぇずっと一緒に 見つめていたい

Under the same roof

Oh, Asakura, hello. Hey, do you recognize me?

Hey, don’t go saying “What now?” like that!

Uh? Well, can I come to your place right now?

No? How come?

Why can’t I com–

Uh? Didn’t I hear a girl’s voice behind you?

Oh, Asakura! Don’t tell me you…

HEY! Don’t go hanging up on me like that!

Hey, Asakura, hey!
