Welcome back. You're late today, aren't you-?

Kotori...? What's the matter?

Anyway, you'll catch a cold if you stay like this. Hurry up and get changed.

Looks awful...

Good morning.

Good morning, onee-chan...

Want some tea?

Alright, here you go.

Delicious...

I added some honey in there for the taste.

You loved that ever since you were little.

I always made that for you when you caught a cold, right?

Thank you, onee-chan...

I'm sorry about yesterday...

Everyone has troubled times when they are young...

Oh, that doesn't mean that I am no longer young though.

Just take a day off today.

But...

You got yourself all wet yesterday, so let's say you've caught a fever. How's that?

A teacher wouldn't allow that to happen, but right now I am standing ground as your sister.

Onee-chan...

Yo!

What's the matter, Asakura?

You look depressed.

Oh what, it's just Mako.

What's with that "oh, what"?

What happened afterwards?

Since you didn't come home, we just couldn't wait too long and went home.

How's Shirakawa-san?

Well, just something...

Just... something...?

That's suspicious! Did you had a fight with Shirakawa-senpai?

She'll dump you if you do that.

You couldn't have...

A day off?

Yup... I heard she caught a cold.

You didn't know?

Yes, Shirakawa residence.

Hello?

It's me...

Err, right now I am in my pajamas...

It's fine, I am heading back soon.

Is your cold getting better?

Y- yup...

I'm already fine though...

I see...

That's good to hear.

Sorry about yesterday...

I just have to say that.

I'll see you at school tomorrow, bye.

Good morning, Kotori.

Good morning...

Is your cold gone already?

Y- yup...

Hey, Kotori, let's hang out together after school.

I've found a place that makes good sweets.

You should spend some time with us girls too.

C- Chiwassu...

That main guy in the drama this morning looked so cool!

Oh... I wish I saw that...

We took a quiz just last period...

Eh, really?

What's with that?!

Well... It's just...

So is it really because of what happened last Sunday?

It was already weird back then...

And you were so close, Asakura...

Let's go ask Shirakawa-senpai.

Nah, it's fine.

But...

Do you know the reason?

But, Kotori didn't do anything wrong.

If there's a reason, then it's my fault.

Ever since that day, Kotori has been helping me.

I really do owe her a lot.

I am fine with just that.

Asakura...

Asakura-senpai...

Please enjoy yourselves.

This sure does remind me of back when we were in middle school!

We used to hang out together after school like this a lot.

We'd eat just a piece of cake and spend a few hours.

Yup, we sure didn't change much.

Kotori, this is pretty good too, why don't you try some?

Try some of mine too. I think you'll like it.

I'm sorry, I made you two worry...

Why are you apologizing?

But...

There's no need to thank us.

We have been childhood friends since we were kids, right?

That's right. Tell us whenever you're troubled by something.

We'll help you all we can.

Thank you...

Is he eating properly?

Although I love him...

Although I want to be by his side...

But I... couldn't accept it...

Why must Asakura-kun clean up Nemu-san's room?

I know the reason... but...

Something's wrong...

But...

I just don't know what that is...

Am I... selfish?

Yo, Asakura!

Mako?

It's unhealthy to eat just that.

Come to the rooftop.

Today's nabe is Sankai-nabe!

And what is Sankai-nabe?

It's a nabe that uses ingredients such as vegetables and mushrooms found in the mountain,

and seafood such as fish and seashells.

Here, Asakura.

Here, your chopsticks.

Alright, eat on!

Hey, Asakura.

Just what are you and Shirakawa Kotori doing?

Suginami, you didn't need to say it right now!

Saying it at the right time, that's how friends are supposed to be, right?

But...

Given that you two love each other, it's just too weird, too confusing.

Something like this harms your mind.

Does Asakura-senpai hate Shirakawa-senpai?

N- No way!

Then, the problem's not Asakura.

I think you two fit each other well.

I feel jealous, but I gotta admit it.

You feel jealous, hmm?

O- onee-chan!

Shirakawa Kotori has always been there to help you.

I think that's a very hard thing to do if she doesn't like you.

So it's gotta be that, right?

It's because you wanted to clean up Nemu's room.

Cleaning up Asakura-imouto's room, that's another unusual thing.

What's unusual?

You haven't even thought about cleaning up her room the year before that, right?

Why would you suddenly want to bother with that room?

That's because...

Or, are you thinking it's weird for you to not clean up her room this whole time?

What do you mean?

Hmph, that is something that you need to think about on your own.

What are you doing?

Onee-chan, why...?

I saw a lonely child when I wanted to go home.

You're not going home?

Then, I can't go home too.

Okay, I'll keep you company.

Why...

Why did it turn out like this?

We like each other, but we can't pass our feelings to each other...

Does that ever happen?

If you really do like him, then you must be able to.

But, I...

When you have always been in love

there are times that you can't understand some things.

Why you like him, for example.

Then why do you like Asakura?

Damn that Suginami, he just can't keep his mouth shut for one second.

What are you doing, onii-chan?

S- Sakura?!

Since when have you been here?

Why are you cleaning up Nemu-chan's room?

Why...? It's just...

Don't you think it's mean to clean it up just like that?

But, I can't just always leave it like that, and... not putting it to an end.

Put an end to what?

Urgh, well...

Why must you put it to an end?

How do I put it... it's just confusing now...

What do you want to make clear?

I want to pay more attention to the people around me.

But...

As long as the time here doesn't move forward...

I can't make another step.

Can you forget Nemu-chan then, if you clean this room up?

No way in hell!

Then what's the point in cleaning up?

Is making you forget about Nemu-chan what Shirakawa-san wants?

Did she ever say that to you, Onii-chan?

Does Shirakawa-san wish for that?

She would never think that way!

Kotori would...

So you got it.

What an idiot I am...

Yup, an idiot.

You're also indecisive, and hate trouble.

You carry the griefs and troubles of others all by yourself.

You can't just stand and watch what happens to others.

You always care about others.

Can't hold yourself from saying that, can you?

But, that's the Onii-chan that I know.

The Onii-chan that we like.

But, I guess it's not just us that feel like that.

If you really do like him, then you must be able to understand each other.

This is where I first met Asakura-kun...

Then why do you like Asakura?

Because Asakura-kun honestly shows me what he thinks.

I am scared of the others' eyesight, their thoughts...

But instead he told me to not mind them.

After he knew that I could read other people's minds, he wasn't scared.

He still treats me nicely as usual.

What are you doing?!

Well, there were some sakura petals on your head.

Actually. I just wanted to mess with your hair.

Isn't that sexual harassment?

Err, it's nothing...

Asakura-kun is someone who accepted me entirely.

It's alright now.

We can start over from here again, definitely.

When I close my heart and think back upon it

The cherry blossom floated against my trembling lips

Since the day I first met you

I've gotten to know the light

The pain of our love changed into what ties us together

Starting from here, we will start singing our song of future

I have always looked upon you

So I know everything

If there's ever a time you wish to cry

I will embrace you tightly

I can never forget that unwithering face

Spread your wings and fly towards the sky of love

I have interleaved my wishes into my songs

The wish that we will never separate

Why is it

that my love became so gentle and calm

I promise right now

That I shall always love you

I remembered... a lot of things...

Important things...

Things that I shouldn't forget.

I'm sorry, Kotori...

A lot of things sure have happened.

A lot have happened indeed.

I first met you here...

We came here together a lot of times after that...

Yup.

Thank you...

Thank you very much...

Kotori.

I love you.

Yup.

Well, I'm that kind of person.

I'll need your help a lot from now on.

Asakura-kun.

I love you!

Kotori.

Is everyone waiting for us?

Well, we haven't been together for a long time.

Everyone will be there to witness it, right?

Nemu-san...

Kotori.

A future with cherry blossoms blooming love and dreams

The sky has never been so blue, right? Then you started to smile

Your careless word seems to connect our hearts

With your shoes on, on the other side of the door that you opened

The scenery overlapping with you has gotten me excited

A future with cherry blossoms blooming love and dreams

Not being able to hold my growing excitement

Let us both together feel the seasons passing

The irreplaceable moments and the encounter create a story

Putting my wish upon the fluttering cherry blossoms

Let us walk on

as the flowers bloom

Choosing between the many paths and walking on

Even on the day you depart, I will be smiling to see you leave

A future with cherry blossoms blooming love and dreams

Not being able to hold my growing excitement

Let us both together feel the seasons passing

The irreplaceable moments and the encounter create a story

Putting my wish upon the fluttering cherry blossoms

Let us walk on

as the flowers bloom
