How fascinating.

Up until recently when I met him again after ten years,

never would I imagine a night like this...

would come.

Sorry, I fell asleep.

It's okay. I fell asleep, too.

How long have I slept?

Well, around two hours...

I think.

Is that so?

Kamijo...

Yes?

How far can you see without your glasses?

I can see clearly when it's this close.

I-I'm hungry.

You're not being very romantic here.

What?

You put a lot of effort making these, though.

Waka.

Can I call you by your first name?

Sure, if that's what you prefer.

It's just a name, so I don't mind.

I feel content.

You're exaggerating.

I feel happier if you call me by my first name.

Well, maybe in time to come?

[Blinded Kiss]

In time to come?

Yeah, in time to come.

When will that be?

Someday.

[Episode 4]

Excuse me.

Is Ms. Kashiwagi in?

Yes.

It's regarding the library event.

Kashiwagi.

The assistant to the university professor is here.

It's regarding the workshop Touched By the Classics.

I got it.

He's hot.

I get it. Thank you.

But...

he's a different type of guy from your boyfriend.

Why do you say that?

He...

seems like the type who envelops you with his warmth.

A guy who's additive-free.

Additive-free?

Excuse me.

What's she talking about?

Please excuse me.

Gaku?

It's really you, Kashiwagi.

Why are you here?

Well, I'm the professor's assistant.

When I read the documents, I was surprised to know that you're the one in charge.

Long time no see.

It's been a while.

What a weird feeling.

It's been ten years, huh?

Brings us back to the time when we were library committee members.

- I really enjoyed myself. - Yes.

It's been a long time.

I enjoyed myself, too.

Thanks for coming to the meeting today.

Thank you, too. I'll furnish the professor the details of our meeting.

Okay.

It's reassuring to be working with a former classmate.

Kashiwagi...

are you free this evening?

Shall we go for a drink?

In that case,

let's invite Kamijo, too.

Kamijo, as in...

Shinobu Kamijo?

Yes.

Why Kamijo, out of the blue?

Well, for various reasons.

Things are complicated.

A share house?

We both happened to be looking for a place to rent,

and Kamijo suggested this idea.

Because he's lived overseas before and is used to it?

And then,

Kamijo, he...

Here's your cassis orange

and gin tonic.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Shall we have a toast first before Kamijo arrives?

Sure.

All right, here's to our training workshop.

Let's do our best.

Cheers.

What?

I mean...

You haven't changed.

You can say the same for yourself, too.

Well...

You've become prettier than before—

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You scared me.

Did I come at bad timing?

No, not really.

It's been a while, Kamijo.

Yeah.

Ever since high school, right?

Say, Kashiwagi... you recognized me the moment you saw me.

Of course. I knew it the moment I saw you.

Oh, really?

Your face hasn't changed at all.

Seriously?

Well, I'm kind of happy to hear that.

Waka.

Do you want to eat the last one?

What are you doing? Have you drunk too much?

I'm not drunk.

Am I wrong to do that when we're dating?

Are you two dating?

It's about time to go.

Time for what?

Isn't it time for your book-reading?

Sorry about it.

It's nice to meet you again. Here...

This is mine and Waka's share.

Let's go.

Jeez...

Sorry, see you soon.

Hey...

Why did you do that on purpose, in front of Gaku?

- It's embarrassing. - Why did you call Gaku by his first name?

Yet you've never called me by my first name.

That's because there were two Suzuki's in our class,

so everyone called them by their first names.

It's not as if I...

I didn't like it precisely because it's you.

When we reunited again,

you didn't recognize me at all.

But, for Gaku...

Could it be that he's...

Why are you grinning like that?

It's nothing.

What is it?

- Hey... - It's nothing.

- Tell me. - Why are you following me?

Hey, come on.

- I asked you why you were grinning. - Hey, stop that!

- I wasn't grinning. - Yes, you were.

- Shut up. - Why were you grinning?

Jeez!

Waka...

Wake up.

Wake up.

Did you read your books till late at night again?

The training workshop...

is nearing, so I was doing research.

Wake up.

I'm awake.

Huh?

Wait.

Then, let's do it.

Huh?

I'm kidding.

Wait! Do you want to?

I don't.

I made coffee.

I'll get going first.

See you tonight.

Well, I'd have been in trouble if we really did it,

since I have many tasks this month.

On top of my daily work, I have meetings with Gaku,

preparations for the workshop, and researching on the classics.

I'm swamped with work every day.

That's why, by the time I reach home...

Gosh, I'm so tired!

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

I've just finished cooking it.

Wow, it looks so delicious.

Thank you.

Do you think I can make this, too?

You can cook it even better than me.

Okay.

Let me wash the dishes.

No. Just go rest in your room.

But...

Save your energy for later.

What are you saying? You fool...

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's continue from where we left off this morning.

In the end, I ended up dozing off this day.

Also, the next day...

Waka, dinner is ready—

And the day after as well...

I actually...

want to attack you right now.

Morning.

Oh, sorry that you had to dry the dishes.

It's all right.

You've to go to work early today, right?

Yeah.

Oh, right. Are you able to come home earlier tonight?

Probably around the usual time.

Tidying up won't take that long.

And Gaku said he'd help me out, too.

I said his name again.

Is that so?

Wow, he's chill about it.

I thought he looked adorable the other time.

By the way, Gaku said

the three of us should drink together again.

I just recalled that he said that.

Waka.

Yes?

Waka...

when can you call me by my first name?

In time to come.

When is in time to come?

If you don't call me by my first name,

- I'll do it with you right here. - I got it.

I got it already!

No use giving me that cute look.

Hurry...

say my name.

Cut it out!

You're making a big deal of out it.

It's just a name.

It's nothing serious, whether it's your last or first name.

You're right.

It's merely a name, after all.

I have to go.

See you.

Shinobu.

I can't do it!

Kashiwagi, [The Forest Library]

regarding the materials to be distributed to the participants...

Kashiwagi?

What is it?

What's wrong? You were spacing out.

W-Well...

it's nothing.

- Everything's okay? - Yes.

- Time to admit the participants soon. - Got it.

- I'll go help the professor. - Okay.

Counting on you.

♪ How lonely it would be ♪ (A verse from the Manyoshu, the oldest collection of poetry during the Nara period)

♪ if I were the only one who possesses ♪

♪ an unrequited love ♪

♪ for someone who holds no regard for me ♪

Bravo!

That was amazing.

Let's have Suzuki interpret this song.

Sure.

I have a one-sided love towards you,

but you are indifferent and bear no feelings toward me.

I cannot help but feel desperate and heartbroken.

That's the meaning of this song.

That is right.

This is a song by Otomo no Yakamochi. (Name of a Classical Japanese poet during the Nara period)

Regarding the part about unrequited love,

speaking of which, I had also fallen in love before.

Really?

Well, it was a lady at the neighborhood's bento shop.

Ah...

One day, I made up my mind to confess...

Could it be...

that I made him feel lonely?

You're making a big deal out of it.

It's just a name.

It's nothing serious, whether it's your first or last name.

I'm such a cruel woman.

He even took pains to cook for me.

It was me who made a big deal out of it.

It turned out well, didn't it?

- It was perfect. - Yeah, perfect.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much for coming today.

Thanks, thanks.

We look forward to working with you again.

- Absolutely. - Thank you.

Well then, goodbye.

- Sure. - Thank you for the hard work.

See you.

Good work, Gaku.

Same to you.

Watch it!

Are you all right?

Sorry, I tripped.

Thanks, Gaku.

Shinobu!

Don't look.

It's a big deal.

Kamijo...

A big deal?

What did he mean?

I'm sorry.

You must be angry...

because I've never called you by your first name.

That wasn't what I was angry about.

Huh?

Showing such a cute face like that,

and of all people,

in front of Gaku, to boot.

I thought you were angry about the name thing.

I'm not angry.

When we talked about Gaku this morning,

you thought I'd sulk.

So I wanted to tease you.

I'm sorry.

More importantly,

you went back to the old way of addressing me.

Say my name one more time.

I left my bag at my workplace.

I'll go get it later.

Waka.

Please.

Shino... bu.

Say that again.

Shinobu.

Again.

Shinobu.

I won't let you sleep tonight.

I've been holding back...

for countless days already.
