Original subtitles

Popcorn sales are slow today. It's pretty chill.

Niimi-san.

I wish every day was like this.

Ah, I'll take over. You go take a break.

Thanks. I'll go take my break then.

Oh, right.

What is it?

Your friend is here.

Huh?

Chiharu.

What are you doing here?

You could've at least said hi.

Sorry, sorry.

I was shopping and thought I'd drop by to see if you were here.

You looked busy, so I didn't call out to you.

Here. I bought a different style from the one I gave you.

Because I wanted one for myself too.

"The Jet-Black Hawk" is pretty good, though.

By the way, do you want to catch a movie before you go?

Since you're here, consider it my birthday present to you.

Thanks. But I want to watch a movie with you.

And as for my birthday, I want to save the celebration for the weekend.

I see.

Well, good luck with work.

Yeah, see you this weekend.

- See ya. - Yeah.

What? Did he leave?

He said he was just dropping by.

Oh, to see you, Toda-kun?

Well... I'm not sure if I should say yes or no.

Anyway, no. I mean, it's not like that.

Or rather... I don't really know myself.

I'm going to take my break now.

(Chiharu's Birthday)

Since then, we've both been busy with college and work, so we haven't really been able to see each other.

There should be some progress next time, right?

Next time for what?

Ah, sorry.

It's nothing, really.

Why are you so flustered?

- No, I'm not flustered. - What's wrong with you?

Is something bothering you?

No, nothing's bothering me.

Come on. You obviously have something on your mind.

You even tripped just now.

No, no, it's just...

It's okay, tell me about it.

Can I?

Yeah, I am older than you, after all.

Saito-san is definitely reliable, but...

Well, as a person...

That look on your face is basically a roundabout way of saying I'm unreliable.

That's not what I meant.

- Let me help. - Trust...

- I'll take that. - Trust...

Trust...

I do trust you. I really do.

Really? Then what is it?

"My Summer Of You" (Episode 9)

- That was pretty fast. - Surprisingly fast.

Sorry for the wait. Here are your lemon sours.

Thank you.

Now that we're all set, happy birthday.

Cheers.

How is it?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Right? It goes down smooth.

Yeah.

Ah, let me have a sip of yours too.

Huh? They're the exact same drink.

Are you drunk already?

No, I'm not.

I just made a mistake.

Besides, I figure I have a super high tolerance for alcohol.

You're totally jinxing yourself right now.

I am not.

So, how does it feel to be twenty?

It doesn't feel like anything's changed.

Ah.

I'm glad I caught up to you.

Oh, right.

My time as the older one was way too short.

Well then.

Before Chiharu gets drunk.

Here, your birthday present.

Whoa, really?

Thanks. Can I open it?

Of course.

Huh?

Seriously? I'm so happy right now.

I thought we could use them together at your place.

I'll make you coffee with this next time.

Yeah.

By the way, this sour really does go down smooth.

Are you sure you should be drinking it that fast?

It's fine.

It basically tastes like juice.

This one is Wataru's, and this one is mine?

Excuse me. Could I get another lemon sour, please?

Sure, coming right up.

Huh? You finished it already?

Well, it's pretty good.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Wataru, we're almost there. Hang in there.

Hmm? We're at your place already?

Yeah.

I'm unlocking the door now.

Let me help.

No need.

I'm going to stay up all night watching movies until morning.

Okay, okay.

I got it, I got it.

Seriously.

Anyway, where were we?

We should've just drank at home.

Hmm?

Nothing, never mind.

You were talking about Niimi-san.

Right, right, right.

Niimi-san.

I told him about how we went on that pilgrimage together.

And he said he wanted to go check it out too.

Niimi-san is a grad student and really smart.

He's super easy to talk to.

You guys sure are close.

What's with that?

Just spit it out if you have something to say.

No, it's nothing.

What is it?

Just say it...

Wataru, wait.

Hey.

I wasn't finished talking.

That's what you get for looking at me like that.

By the way, your face is burning up.

That's because I'm drunk...

Hmm?

Hey, I am not drunk.

But...

Your hands are so cool. They feel really nice.

Wataru, drink some water.

I'll go get some.

Wait, Wataru.

Hey.

You wanted to kiss me just now, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

Liar.

It's really frustrating when you tease me and then just stop halfway.

No kissing today.

Why not?

No reason.

You literally said you wanted to kiss me before.

Because I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back.

Huh?

It's just a kiss. You don't have to hold back.

I'm growing up too, you know.

Yeah, but...

There's no way it would end with just a kiss.

Hmm?

I don't want you getting drunk and forgetting everything the next day.

Plus, there's another problem before that.

What problem?

Wataru, you're sleepy, aren't you?

No, I'm not...

It's your birthday today.

I'm not going to sleep yet.

You don't have to force yourself.

Here.

Are you going to sleep here?

Yeah...

I just suddenly realized.

I...

I think I really like your scent.

It makes me feel so safe...

That's not fair.

Chiharu?

(Wataru: I have some things to take care of at the university this morning, so I'm heading

out for a bit. I'll be back after noon. If you want to head home first, you can use this key.)

Wow, that guy has plans today.

Huh, what time is it?

It's already eleven...

How long did I sleep?

Huh?

Where did I fall asleep yesterday?

It makes me feel so safe...

Ah, stop, stop, stop.

Let's not think about that right now.

I'll just watch a movie and wait for him to get back.

Huh, where's the remote?

Where is it?

Hmm?

Oh, here it is.

(Exchange Program Participant Briefing)

Wow...

The requirements are higher than I thought.

You'll definitely be fine.

No, if it were just an English test, maybe.

But in our department, they even review our portfolios.

I need to start working on it early.

Hold on, sorry. Wataru just texted me.

Sorry, I fell asleep again.

I have something to do later, so I'll head out now.

What did he say?

Nothing much. He stayed over at my place last night and was talking about that.

I see.

By the way, Chiharu.

What are your plans for summer vacation?

Summer vacation?

I haven't decided yet. Why?

Oh, nothing.

Let's talk about it next time.

I have an appointment later.

Okay.

See you next time.

See you.

(I'm sorry you came all the way here to see me.)

I didn't do anything stupid after getting drunk, did I?

Hmm?

You're awake?

You can go back to sleep.

I'm going to clean up a bit.

Hey, where are you going?

Nowhere, just going to clean up.

Come on, I'll help too.

No need.

Just keep sleeping.

I won't let you have your way.

Why not?

Listen to me.

Stay right here.

Got it.

I'll stay here.

(I slept all the way until morning.)

- Wataru, I missed you so much. - You're being too cheesy.

Wait, didn't we just see each other recently?

Idiot.

I missed you so much I was going crazy.

Coming on too strong will just make people hate you.

What about Hiraoka?

- Is he busy with his club? - It's alright.

I heard you're pretty busy with your part-time job at the movie theater too.

Yeah.

But it's pretty fun.

Oh, there's a guy with glasses named Niimi-san. He's super easy to talk to.

Maybe I just get along really well with guys who wear glasses.

Oh.

What?

A rival has appeared.

I won't give up the title of Wataru's favorite glasses guy to anyone else.

Who are you even competing with?

Closing in, closing in. What do you mean, favorite glasses guy?

Isn't there a best glasses award?

For that guy? No?

If you're going to bring something like that up, get your facts straight first.

Stop dipping it.

- It's fine. - It's so annoying.

- Okay, sorry. - Alright, time to study.

I didn't expect to still be prepping for exams with you guys even after getting into college.

Even though we're all in different majors.

It's really a huge help.

It's easy to get distracted when studying alone.

What's that? Wataru, you're so dirty.

That's just your own dirty mind, Guchi.

Wataru, ever since this guy started working part-time...

Hmm? Part-time job?

This guy started working at a restaurant.

Seems like things are going pretty well with a senior coworker there.

Hiraoka, I told you not to jump ahead on your own.

It's just a little bit.

We just get along well, that's all.

Tell me, tell me!

What kind of person are they?

Just leave me out of this.

What about you, Wataru? Are you working part-time over the summer too?

Yeah.

Aren't you going on a trip or something?

Didn't you go on that trip with Saeki back in high school?

It was a pilgrimage, right?

Ah...

I don't know.

He seems really busy with work and school.

Oh, you can go with me instead.

Didn't we even have a sleepover back in middle school?

I told you to stop competing.

Huh?

You're always trying to compete over everything.

I'm not competing.

(Saeki sent a message.)

(Do you want to go see a movie later?)

Did I get here too early?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Yes? - Could you tell me where the subway is?

Uh, the subway station?

Ah, yes.

Uh, go down those stairs over there.

Head towards the station's West Exit...

Uh...

Station.

Hmm...

Hmm... West...

I'm trying to find the subway,

but I'm lost.

Even with the map.

I can help.

Huh? Chiharu?

Really?

Go down those stairs and walk straight.

The subway is there.

OK.

Thank you for your help.

You are welcome.

Bye.

Hmm? What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

It's just my first time hearing you speak English. I think it's really impressive.

It's nothing, really.

I just know a little bit because I used to live there.

You call that a little bit?

Yeah.

If I want to use it for work, I'll need to learn a lot more.

- Let's go. - Yeah.

(Exchange Student Program Information Session)

That was more interesting than I expected.

The subtitles for the jokes were translated perfectly to fit Japanese culture.

I learned a lot.

Yeah.

Wataru?

Huh?

Nothing, nothing. The subtitles, right?

You're right.

After all, you're going to be a translator.

Wataru.

I'm sorry.

Actually, I've been looking for a chance to tell you this in person.

Tell me what?

You know,

my favorite thing about Director Zaizen's films is the dialogue.

There are so many seemingly casual lines that really touch your heart.

Because of that, I started getting interested in English dialogue too.

Translating within constraints is actually really fascinating.

I hope that one day, I can take words that will become someone's treasure

and convey them through translation.

Just like what you once said to me.

"If you don't like it, you can just say you don't like it."

"What are your true feelings?"

Huh?

No, no, no. I don't remember saying anything that profound.

I usually just blurt things out reflexively.

I knew you'd say that.

It's fine.

As long as I understand, that's enough.

Am I...

going to hold him back?

[He's looking at search results for "Translator for Movies"]

After hearing him say that...

how could I possibly ask him if he's going to study abroad again?

The more I know him, the more I realize what an incredible catch he is.

So what is it that I want to do?

What about you, Toda-kun?

Do you want to go into filming too?

Huh?

Don't you like movies?

What's wrong?

Hey.

Um...

For summer vacation, the pilgrimage for "Blueprint"...

Do you want to go together?

(Next Episode) Because if I take my eyes off you for a second, you'll wander off somewhere else.

Don't they say people show their true colors when they're drunk?

I just haven't been able to bring myself to ask Wataru out.

I have something I want to tell you.

Me too.

We're outside, you know.

It's just a dream anyway.
