Original subtitles

You know, when she lived away from Hatsunejima,

she continued to work hard because you were supporting her.

But, you know who should be the understanding one, don’t you?

Nemu.

Oh. You’re pretty late, aren’t you? I was waiting for you.

I wanted to talk to you no matter what.

Mr. Akishima told me a lot about the Nursing College,

and I’ve realized that I should apologize.

So–

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

Then, what do you think that Suginami said?

Unwithering feelings

“A comparison to the Curse of the Pharaoh would be more accurate than one of Pandora’s Box.”

That’s hilarious, isn’t it?

Isn’t it funny, Aisia?

Huh? Oh, yes. You’re right.

I see.

Well, er.

Oh, you’ve finished eating alone?

Why didn’t you come eat with us?

Aisia’s cooking is quite good.

Hey, since Aisia did the cooking–

Don’t mind me.

I’ll take care of myself.

Don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t intend to be a burden to you and Aisia-san.

H-Hey, Nemu!

I swear…

Is it my fault?

Is it because of what I did? Should I have not done it?

Stupid. That isn’t it. You don’t have anything to do with her being upset.

But…

It’s all right! You don’t have to worry about anything.

Let me take care of this.

Nemu.

Sorry, do you mind if we talk like this?

I’m sorry about earlier.

I didn’t consider your feelings before making weird assumptions.

I think it’s perfectly normal if you still don’t feel like forgiving me.

That’s why I’ll wait, until you feel like showing me those letters you wrote for me.

I’ll wait.

That’s what I wanted to tell you at school.

I’m sorry I couldn’t say it properly.

Nii-san.

But, Aisia has got nothing to do with this, right?

So, I hope for your understanding.

If you don’t, Aisia won’t have any place to go to anymore.

Actually, Aisia came to Hatsunejima on her own to meet Sakura’s grandmother.

You could say that she came to study Japanese culture and stuff like that.

Well, that’s the general idea.

But you see, since Grandma’s gone now,

and since Sakura’s gone too, I took it upon myself to give her a home.

Grandma.

Sakura.

Grandma.

She’s got no other place to go to. So Nemu, please try and talk to her normally.

No.

This has got nothing to do with me!

Why don’t you do as you please?

But, I can’t abandon one of Grandma’s friends like that!

I don’t care about that!

She’s not my Grandma!

Nemu.

Since she is Nii-san’s Grandma, she should have been a grandmother to me as well.

But,

I don’t know, Grandma.

What would Grandma Yoshino have done at a time like this?

What kind of magic should I use to help Jun’ichi and Nemu?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Oh, I guess I should have said “Good Morning” instead at this time of the day, shouldn’t I have?

Oh. Erm…

I see. Nemu-san came back. It’s hard to stay with them, isn’t it?

Huh?

I’m sorry. It’s just that I can see that row of cherry trees from my room.

When I see everyone going to school and how they are doing,

I understand quite a lot of things.

Things like, “Ah, something fun happened”,

or, “Something hard to bear is worrying her”,

and, “I’ve made new friends”.

Especially the people I can’t help but think about.

Eh, you are?

Those two will be all right. Don’t they both seem like they want to make up?

It’s just that their pride gets in the way.

They miss each other, and they can’t find the right time to do it.

That’s what Kotori said too.

It’s been two years. It could be that they have forgotten something important from that time.

The cherry trees that don’t wither.

If they go there, I think that they’ll remember what it is.

After all, all the mysterious things that happened in Hatsunejima

were caused by the magic of that tree.

Nemu-senpai! Let’s go play!

Hey, cut it out, Miharu!

Nemu-senpai! Yahoo!

Please! You’re going to disturb the neighbors!

But…

It’s been a while since we’ve been on a date!

I’ve been looking forward to it since last night, so much that I couldn’t sleep!

Oh.

But, is it alright if we don’t take Asakura-senpai along?

Y-You don’t need to worry about that.

Today, let’s have lots of fun together!

Yes!

So, let’s eat a Banana parfait together,

then go to the Banana Museum and go see Banana Wars Episode III!

Does it EVEN exist?!

It sure is noisy first thing in the morning.

That voice, I bet it’s Miharu.

Hey, Jun’ichi!

What’s up, Aisia?

How about we go on a picnic?

Right?

Huh?

Hey, Jun’ichi! Hurry, hurry!

This way, this way!

Hey, Aisia. Why are you in such a hurry?

Nyaa. Nyaa. Nyaa. Nyaa. Nyaa.

Okay, I get it. Just wait–

This place…

Jun’ichi! Don’t daydream, come here!

Let’s eat together!

Oh, yeah.

Here, just a little while more, Nemu-senpai!

Hang in there!

Fight!

Hey, Miharu. Why did you want to come to this place, all of a sudden?

Oh! Utamaru, where are you going?

Oh my, it’ll be a problem if he gets lost!

Let’s hurry and run after him!

Now, why you…

Miharu! Wait!

Really, Miharu. I told you not to worry about things you don’t need to worry about!

What will you do?

What do you mean, “What will you do”?

We don’t know how far they went.

All we can do is wait for them, right?

Guess so.

Have a bite to eat.

I don’t need to.

You’re hungry, aren’t you?

I’m not!

Hey, now. That’s too much!

Sorry, sorry.

Say, Nemu. Do you remember this place?

That’s low, Nii-san.

Huh?

How could I forget?

After all, this is where…

You came to pick me up when I ran away from home.

That’s when our hearts became one for the first time.

It is an important place, for you and me, and our memories.

Actually, Sakura’s grandma planted this tree.

Really?

We did as you had planned, Aisia, they’re both under that tree, but,

will things be fine like that?

I think so.

After all, magic is supposed to make people happy.

Unyaa~

If that tree has any magical power left, surely it would…

No, it will!

So, when I found you under that tree, Grandma thought it brought us together.

And that it protected you all night long.

And also, Nemu, it was Grandma who kicked some sense into me,

who made me get a grip when I didn’t know what to do, when you became part of our family.

What?

You look so much like me, after all…

You’re lazy, and don’t want to get involved.

But you know, Jun’ichi. No matter how you are usually,

as a man, once you decide to accept her, you must do whatever it takes

to help her when she needs support,

or her heart will become more fragile and easier to break than burned wood.

Can you promise me, Jun’ichi?

Yeah! I promise, Grandma!

That’s a good kid.

Then, here!

Wow!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

I didn’t know.

Grandma was quite shy. Perhaps she was the one that was embarrassed.

But, even though you didn’t know it, Grandma always watched over you.

She didn’t mention it, but you always were on her mind.

Grandma.

Grandma.

So, don’t say sad things like that anymore, okay?

Yeah.

If I remember correctly, they say that the promises made under this tree will come true for sure.

Uh?

It’s withered now, but my feelings haven’t changed since that time.

So,

I, Jun’ichi Asakura, renew my promise under this tree,

to protect Nemu Asakura, no matter what happens.

This is a promise I make to none other than to myself.

Nii-san.

But, I’ll correct one thing!

Huh?

“From now on, as my lover”! That’s all.

Let’s go back, to our home.

What are they doing right now, those two?

I don’t know.

How about we check on them?

Yeah.

Ah, that’s where you were!

Hey Aisia! Miharu! Hey!

Huh?

Jun’ichi and Nemu.

Wow! So the magic in the cherry tree is still alive.

That was a spell that makes people happy!

Yay! It worked!

Asakura-senpai! Nemu-senpai!

You sure worried us, you two!

Sorry for the trouble!

Sorry for what I did up to now, Aisia. Can you treat me to dinner, tonight?

Yeah! Leave it to me!

Nyaa~

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

I’m Joining!

Nii-san.

I’m so glad. We’re finally back to how we were.

You by my side, me by your side,

living together.

But, you’re right. There’s one thing that has changed.

It’s okay. I’ll get along fine with Aisia from now on.

Er, Aisia? What is that outfit you have on today?
