What matters is not the past, but the present.

Miina...

If you and I are related by blood, I don't want to abandon you!

I don't want to abandon a relative!

Maiku...

But we might be strangers. If we are, what would you do?

You know what I would do.

No, Maiku, this is embarrassing.

What's the problem?

But...

All right?

Yeah.

Not there!

Huh? Oh, it was just a dream.

To have such a dream, I must be...

I-I'm sorry!

I was dreaming! I don't swing that way!

Yeah, honest!

That's a...

I-I'm sorry!

Get a grip! Snap out of it!

Oh, I'm so sorry!

Shut up!

Kitto meguri awaseta

I'm sure what brought us together

tenshi no hon no kimagure da yo

was just the whim of the angels.

Sanpomichi de fuita sunakaze

A dusty wind blowing along the promenade

kokoro ga hayatteku

makes my heart race.

Setsunasa hagurakasu no ni wa nareteru no ni

I'm used to evading my loneliness,

konna toki dake namida ga tomerarenai no wa

so why is it that l can't stop the tears

naze darou?

at times like this?

Aimai na kisetsu dakara koso

It's because the season is so ambiguous

kasuka na tezawari kokoro de kanjite

that l feel these faint stirrings in my heart.

Kagirareta toki wo ikiru kara

The time in which we live is finite,

tatanda tsubasa wo ima sugu hirogete

so spread your folded wings right now.

Tatoe niji ga kowaretemo

Even if the rainbow breaks,

sora wa matte iru

the sky will be waiting.

We Might Be Strangers

One set of futon each plus daily essentials comes to 43,560 yen.

Including sales tax, the total comes to 45,738 yen.

I will have you two repay that amount by overseeing all household chores.

Decide among yourselves who will do what.

While you two are doing the chores, I'll be doing my programming work.

Any questions?

N-None...

Same here.

And I would like us to address each other on a first name basis, no honorifics.

I don't like fussing over that stuff, or when other people do it to me.

In other words, you want us to use "Karen" and "Maiku"?

Yeah. In return, I'll call you guys "Miina" and "Karen".

All right?

Oh, yes... Um...

Miina-san, Maiku-san...

Just drop the "san".

I'm sorry...

What happened to your neck?

That's...

something you shouldn't ask about.

If you say so.

All right then, I'll be working in my room, so I'll leave you to deal with the rest.

Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. Even if the phone rings, don't answer it.

Understood.

Oh, coming, coming!

I told you, don't answer it!

I know that. I'll make sure to send the data today.

Right. Goodbye.

Well, I guess I'll get to it.

How about some coffee?

Didn't I tell you to at least knock before coming in?

And you don't have to do stuff like that for me.

But since I went ahead and made some, I can leave it here, right?

S-Sure.

What sort of program is that?

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

You're so mean!

Look, Miina, let me get to work.

Why are you blushing?

N-Nothing, really...

I'm sorry I bothered you while you were working.

So, um, excuse me!

What's with her?

Hey, this is good.

That can't be... I'm... That's impossible!

By any chance, were you watching?

Pretty much.

Um, Miina-san.

It's about Maiku-san.

I-It's not what you think! This is the first time I've met a real relative.

I'm just on cloud nine because of that.

See, I've been through a lot in life, and I haven't had many nice things happen to me.

Well, it's true that I think Maiku is rather dependable,

and he's easy on the eyes, and I was surprised that he appeared in my dreams.

But it's nothing like that! Nothing like that at all, so don't...

Maiku-san may be your blood relative.

Yup, yup.

But then again, he might be a stranger.

Miina-san! If Maiku-san was a stranger, what would you do?

W-Well, um...

Your mind is set, isn't it?

I haven't decided that far!

But if we are strangers, we really have to leave this house.

I got it. We aren't having the same conversation!

About what?

Coming!

I'll get that.

What are you guys doing?

Um...

A secret meeting.

Who is it?

Senpai?

Hello, Kamishiro-kun.

The favor that I asked you was to have those club budget forms done last week, right?

So I was wondering if something was wrong...

I'm sorry, my paid job has been keeping me really busy.

Can you wait until the end of Monday?

I don't mind.

That will be a big help.

Um...

My name is Oribe Tsubaki. I'm the class ahead of Kamishiro-kun.

Are you used to life over here, Miyafuji Miina-san?

How do you know my name?

Our student body president has an amazing information network.

It's a secret as to why it's so amazing, though...

Please tell President Morino to take it easy on me.

I'll do that.

Um...

You're done with your errand, right?

Yes.

Maiku has work to do.

So, she uses your name without honorifics.

Hey, it's all right! We're relatives, after all!

Right?

Don't get so close!

There aren't any problems if you are his relative.

But there's also a possibility that you're a stranger, right?

If you're a stranger,

it might appear that you're doing nothing but imposing yourself on Kamishiro, Miyafuji-san.

T-That's not true!

You think so?

Besides, if you're done here...

Um, I brought some drinks.

Oh, you didn't need to.

But since you offered, maybe I'll take you up on it.

S-Sure. It really isn't much, but...

Did something happen to your neck?

You shouldn't ask about that.

Miina-san, your face is very scary.

It was born this way!

I-I see!

What are they doing?

Delicious!

Where is this mineral water from?

It's plain tap water.

We're poor, you know.

Thanks to you guys showing up here.

Kamishiro, that's not something you say to a potential relative.

Though they might be strangers...

U-Um, I have some snacks.

I've already eaten some of them, but would you like some?

Prech?

Yes, they're my favorite.

The little wonder!

What's this thing? It's so cute!

Yes, it certainly is.

Why are you fawning over this thing?

This is strange! It's really strange!

Kamishiro-kun! You don't know about this?

This little boy appears all the time around here.

Please don't sound so matter-of-fact about it.

It's definitely what you'd expect from a place that had a big UFO craze!

Everyone at school calls him "Marie."

Is he Marie-san?

Oh, it reacted!

This is absurd! Don't you think this is absurd?!

You think so?

It's got a life preserver!

That's all right. It's cute.

It's eating prech!

It must be an omnivore.

You know...

Oh, no! Work!

Kamishiro, don't worry about me.

Before that, we need to do something about this strange thing.

You might miss your deadline...

I know that!

Don't wave!

Dammit...

Maiku has gone back to work.

Aren't you going to go home yet?

Oh, right! I'd forgotten all about it!

When I told my mother that I was coming here to visit Kamishiro-kun,

she forced me to bring these buckwheat noodles.

I see. Thank you very much.

Then...

My mother taught me how to cook them.

She's so calculating.

Did you say something?

No, nothing.

Miina-san, we now have a free lunch!

That's true...

Man, I only have one hour left.

But is everything okay downstairs?

Now what?! Is today another bad horoscope day for me?

Hello, Kamishiro residence.

Um, are you...

Is that you standing there, Morino-san?

Oh, Kazami Sensei!

What are you doing here?

Bird watching.

That's a lie, right?

Yes, of course.

We'll gladly accept the noodles.

But I do the cooking here, so...

I was taught a very tasty way of cooking them.

Are you saying that my cooking is awful?

Are you good at cooking?

Not to brag or anything at all.

Maiku ate my cooking yesterday and the day before, and he said it was delicious!

Oh, he did?

Don't give me that look that it was not expected.

Don't be so mad. It's almost as if you were jealous.

E-Even if that was the case, what about it?

You might be his relative, right?

If you are, wouldn't that be a dangerous train of thought?

It's all right because we might be strangers.

It's not right for a stranger to be living in this house.

We might be relatives.

Which would you prefer?

Which one would you prefer?

Well, I wonder?

T-This is going nowhere. How about we split the noodles in half?

Sure, that's fine.

Can I borrow a pot?

There's only a small one.

I only need to make enough for one.

U-Um...

What is it?

Nyu?

Nyu-Nyu～

Hey, hey, listen Haruko. I can come with you, right?

I'm going to a friend's house today, so no!

Aw, why not?!

Why don't you have noodle dipping sauce?

No way!

Because we're poor.

Oh, come on. Please?

I don't want you to!

U-Um...

Who is it?

It's Karen. Can I come in?

Sure.

Good timing. Actually, I wanted...

U-Um, your Senpai-san and Miina-san are cooking in a very ominous way!

I see auras of a tiger and a lion behind them!

What are you talking about?

I'm telling you, a tiger and a lion...

There aren't any of those around here.

That's true, but...

Calm down a bit. I need to talk to you.

Sit down over there.

S-Sure. Excuse me...

Look, Karen...

You gave your foster parents the phone number to this place, didn't you?

Y-Yes.

I called my uncle yesterday from a pay phone and told him the phone number for this house.

Was that a bad thing to do?

I got a phone call.

I said, I got a call.

You mean... From my uncle?

Yeah.

He wanted to talk to me, so I answered the call.

I got the basic gist of the situation from him.

Your uncle's company is in trouble, right?

Don't you hate this recession?

Yeah, really.

But I finally understood

Why you came here in the middle of a school term, despite that you were attending an all-girls school.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

There's no need to apologize.

But...

I think... that your uncle didn't tell you everything, Karen.

This is a cheap way of putting it, but...

Your uncle seems to have gone a little too far to keep his company afloat.

He apparently sent you to this house shown in the photo...

because he might make trouble for you, too, Karen.

I had a sneaking suspicion that that's what had happened...

My uncle had always said that it was too dangerous for me to travel alone.

Because I am always in a daze, he says.

But then he suddenly let me come here...

That's why I knew.

He was leaving home and entrusting me with you, Karen.

And that he'd do everything he could.

That's what he told me.

Maiku-san... My uncle is...

You can relax. He said that he was all right.

I see.

But he said that he might not be able to call here anymore.

I can't believe it...

That, and he said he was sorry.

Uncle...

Uncle...

Is your uncle a kind man?

I know this won't sound very convincing, but it'll be all right. It'll be all right.

You can stay. It's all right for you to stay here.

But Maiku-san, you might be a stranger.

Yeah, that's true. But...

You and I have the same eye color, right?

So it's all right. It's all right for you to stay here.

I won't abandon you.

Never.

Kamishiro-kun!

Maiku!

Wha-

What are you doing?

That's what I was going to ask!

You come in without knocking, you drop food...

I mean...

Oh, I...

Nyu!

H-H-Hey!

Kamishiro-kun!

What were you up to, I wonder?

Wait, let me explain this properly!

Karen was crying.

Don't tell me you forced her to...

It's a misunderstanding! Listen to me!

Senpai! Miina!

I can't believe that you would do such a thing, Kamishiro!

I was such a fool to had the slightest bit of feelings for you!

Listen to me!

No!

You're wonderful, Kamishiro-kun.

Geez, I really was surprised about what happened this afternoon.

But when I really think about it, that sort of thing couldn't possibly happen.

O-Of course not.

That's true.

Cheer up.

Okay...

But isn't it great that you can stay here?

Yes.

Still, I guess the same goes for me.

Miina-san, Maiku-san might be a relative, right?

Probably, for one of us.

So, he might be a stranger.

Oh, is that you, Kikuchi-san? This is Kamishiro.

Um, about the data I was supposed to send today...

Can it wait until tomorrow morning?

No, I'm doing my best, but there's this one part that I'm stuck on.

I really am doing my work! I'm not goofing off!

We...

might be relatives.

But then again...

we might be strangers!

Ano hoshi wa onaji matataki de

With the same twinkling, that star

kawarazu ni watashi wo mite

unchangingly watches over me.

Taikutsu na yume wo nageki fuseta

It gently lit up the side of my face

yokogao wo sotto terashiteta

as I smothered my grief with dull dreams.

Asu ni wa chiisa na nimotsu seoi

Tomorrow, I'll become the bird that flies off

kouya wo tobitatsu tori ni naru kara

into the wilds with a small parcel on its back.

Mukai kaze no naka (kao agereba)

If I look up into the wind in my face,

mukau basho wa mada (haruka tookute)

my destination is still far in the distance.

Itsuka tadoritsuku hoshi ni nareru

I can one day become a star that'll reach there.

Matsuge ni nijinda (afuresou na)

Blurred into my eyelashes,

shizuku wo nabikase (omoi nosete)

flinging away the teardrops

kesshite owaranai tabi wo tsuzuke ni yuku yo

as I go forth to continue my never ending journey.

Miina-san, we can't be relying on Maiku-san forever.

Miina-san, we can't be relying on Maiku-san forever.

Look at this magazine for part-time job offers!

The school that Maiku goes to has an opening for a part-time job!

But they're looking for people 18 and over though!

I'll be all right!

Where does that unfounded confidence come from?

What do you mean by that?

Nothing. Never mind.
