Mirai-chan... what is this all about?

I'm saying that I love you.

I'm sorry.

I keep talking as I please.

For the man that I am, I do love you.

I want you to remember that.

I'll take it...

I'll take that home with me.

My ideal type; someone who doesn't care about looks.

Someone who genuinely loves me for who I am.

No way!

Since when...

Since when had he always felt that way about me.

He's been my childhood friend and we have known each other since first grade.

It's never crossed my mind to see him as a romantic partner.

No, no, no!

Wait up! Hold your horses, Mairu.

Do you remember how much Mirai-chan has hated me ever since grade school?

Stop it!

Get going!

Mirai-chan?

Stop adding -chan after my name!

To be honest with you...

I can't like someone as ugly as you.

That's right!

Didn't he clearly tell me that he doesn't like me at all?

Of course, that's it!

What are you talking about?

I don't remember saying things that happened so long ago.

What?

I...

For the man that I am, I love you.

Mirai-chan...

Stop adding -chan after my name!

I can't like someone as ugly as you!

I love you.

I don't.

I love you.

I don't!

I do.

I don't like you at all!

Which is it?!

Good morning.

No!

MAIRUNOVICH

Listen, we need to decide about what our class will be doing for next week's school festival.

Gotta come up with ideas on what we should do.

Alright?

Alright.

By the way, Yokoyama.

I need to consult something with you later about the school festival activities.

Come to the staff room.

[T/N: MIRAI, YOU~]

I won't last too long.

I'm about to lose this heart.

To be suddenly told by him that he likes me...

My heart wouldn't be able to keep up!

Don't tell me...

Is this some kind of a punishment?

Let's settle this is a misunderstanding...

Yeah.

Are you doing a facial expression show for the festival?

You're too loud!

I'm sorry.

Since when were you there?

For a while now.

Did something happen?

What?

Why do you ask?

You're acting appalled, it's written all over your face.

Nothing less from the Love Sniper.

Not to be underestimated.

Huh? What'd you say?

Oh, nothing. It's nothing.

Everything was actually just a misunderstanding.

Well, that's got nothing to do with me.

Listen...

Can you volunteer as the Procurement-In-charge with me for our class' School Festival activity?

Procurement-in-charge?

That's right.

I want to go around and see what the other classes are doing for the festival.

I don't want to be the receptionist or take a ghost role for our class' Ghost House.

So with that said...

I don't want to carry around stuff when shopping for materials, and it'd be nice to have someone who listens to you.

Someone who wants to listen to your requests?

No matter what I say, I don't really think you'd go out of your way to help me out.

I do!

I'd like to volunteer as the Procurement-in-charge for our class activity.

I see.

Alright, I leave it to you!

He's finally back home.

Mirai-chan!

What is it?

I have a favor I want to ask. This is about Mairu...

Huh?

Mairu?

A WEEK LATER

After that, Mirai has stopped coming to me and telling me stuff.

I was right. That confession...

..was just a misunderstanding.

This is how small we were and how long we've been together...

Who could it be?

Fuwari-chan is on a business trip today.

Who is it?

I'll pass if it's the newspaper or if we need to talk in English.

It's me.

Mirai-chan? What brings you here?

Oh? I thought Fuwari told you already.

There's been spotting about a molester nearby recently.

So he told me to stay the night with you while he's still on a business trip.

Huh? What?

So you mean, you'll be staying over in this house?

That's what I said.

Really?!

Hey...

Should we turn on the TV?

No.

It's fine.

I see.

How about we watch idol DVD's---

Huh?

--- but this would bore you.

Oh, how about...

Do you want to eat?

Yeah...

I do feel a bit hungry.

I'll go and make you food right now!

You should've told me that Mirai was coming over to stay the night!

Sorry! I forgot. I would worry if I left you all alone so I had to ask him for a favor.

Why did it have to be him out of all the people?

Well, he lives next door and you used to have sleepovers when you were both in grade school.

How it was when were young is completely different now!

Huh? What do you mean?

Right now, Mirai and I are...

Hey, Mairu.

Yes?!

I'm hearing this tone.

The bath has been boiled.

The bath has been boiled.

Mirai-chan is staying here for the night.

Mirai-chan will be sleeping here tonight.

I know we used to have sleepovers back in grade school, but...

That was when I used to be scared all the time...

That's why he would come and sleep over for my sake.

Huh?

Where should he sleep?!

Where did we put the mattress for guests again? What?

If we don't have one, what should I do?

How about in Fuwari's room?

I'm sure I'll get reprimanded.

Don't tell me, in my room?!

That was a refreshing bath.

Sorry to have went first.

It's fine...

No worries...

...at sh-all.

Sh-all?

What's wrong?

Oh... There's nothing---

---fwrong.

Fwrong?

I'll sleep in the couch.

Wake me up if there's something you need.

Okay.

I can't sleep.

Of course.

He'd be sound asleep.

Mairu?

What's wrong?

Something happened?

I'm fine.

Sorry for waking you up.

I just wanted something to drink.

You can't sleep?

Yeah.

Wanna talk for a bit?

Thanks.

You can't sleep because I'm here?

Huh?

I'm making you uncomfortable.

No...

It's just...

You dummy.

I'm not gonna do anything.

Sorry.

Mairu...

I won't do anything unless the feeling's mutual.

You...

I'm sure you were panicking.

Because my attitude suddenly changed.

I must be troubling you.

I'm sorry.

Mirai-chan...

When we were in grade school, I remember you told me that you wouldn't ever like someone like me.

I thought you really hated me so much.

Oh, that...

That was because...

Everyone was teasing me about you...

I was feeling embarrassed about it...

I ended up saying it unintentionally.

To be honest...

I was already in love with you during those times.

I've stopped lying about my feelings for you.

Let's go to sleep.

I'll go and rest too.

Yeah.

Good night.

Night.

In the end...

I wasn't able to get a good night's rest.

Sorry, I just need a little more time.

Not at all!

I should be the one to say sorry.

Rushing over to your workplace.

Alright.

Please take this.

You saved me.

Thank you for the food.

So...?

What's up?

Actually...

I got a love confession from my childhood friend, Mirai.

Mirai?

Isn't he that guy who lives next door to you?

That's right.

We grew up together since grade school.

All this time, you thought of him as just your childhood friend.

Seems like it wasn't that way to him.

Exactly.

That really surprised me so much!

And now...

You're not sure what to do about it.

That's exactly it.

How about you?

How do you feel about him?

I'm not so sure myself.

I thought he really hated me all this time.

But...

I've heard him honestly tell me that he loves me countless times.

That makes you happy.

He said that he might just be troubling me.

I see.

He seems to be someone who really understands how you feel.

Yes.

How about his looks?

What can you say?

I see him as someone who's really cool.

Do you think...

He genuinely loves you?

I was already in love with you during those times.

I think so.

Do you think he's the type to cheat?

I don't want to date someone unless I'm sure she's really the one for me.

I'm sure...

...he wouldn't.

I see.

That puts me at ease.

Your destined person.

He was surprisingly just near you all this time.

Destined person for me?

"You are so close to me, I could see you clearly in the fog."

"A woman and a man's relationship lies in how close or far they are."

What?

I am grateful for the words of wisdom.

I heartwarmingly accept it.

For this one, I'll call on Kouzuki.

Try answering this.

Okay.

Y equals A to the xth power greater than 0.

That's right.

Nothing less from the school's Top 3 student.

I've never noticed it until now, but...

Mirai-chan really does excel in academics.

He's good at sports and is really versatile.

He has a nasty mouth, but...

Everyone likes him...

He's got a lot of friends too!

When I look at him as the boy that he is...

I see a part of him I've never seen before.

Could he really be the person destined for me?

Next up, the one who's in charge for the procurement of materials.

Anyone else?

Alright, it's decided that this position will be given to Matsumaru and Kinoshita.

Hey...

What's wrong, Kouzuki?

I believe we need a male representative for that role who can help carry the heavier stuff so I'd like to volunteer.

You've got a point.

Fair enough. I got it.

I'll put the three of you in charge then.

Banana juice!

Oh, they've got cute stuff at that shop.

I'll go check it out for a bit.

Wait for me at that spot right there!

Matsumaru, that rascal...

The reason she wanted this position was so she could go sightseeing on these shops!

Also... She said she didn't want to do anything during the school festivities.

Since she wanted to go check what the other classes are doing.

She's amazing when it comes to making up these plans.

She's someone you don't want to mess with.

Were you really fine with volunteering for this role?

You still do have your sports practices.

Wouldn't this be too much for those who are members of clubs?

We currently don't have an upcoming tournament to prepare for so it's fine.

Also...

I wanted to spend more time with you.

More like...

Doing this role with you makes it seem like we're on a date.

I shouldn't say the same to Matsumaru.

Date?

They didn't really have good finds.

What's this? Something wrong, Kinoshita?

Should we call it a day?

Yeah.

By the way...

We should probably end the shopping spree now.

Let's get back to school and settle the receipts before heading home.

Receipt?

Don't tell me...

You forgot to get the receipts?

I'm sorry.

Just how clumsy can you get?

I'll go collect them real quick. Please wait for me!

I can come with you. -I'll be fine!

So?

How's it going?

What do you mean?

You finally were honest about your feelings and confessed, right?

I left you two together on purpose.

You should atleast tell me things, you know?

There's no way that I, the Almighty Matsumaru Ayano, wouldn't be aware of love sprouting around me.

Hey, you're scaring me!

So?

Thank you so much!

[T/N: My stomach hurts. I feel like I'm about to vomit.]

It's been a while.

I'm sorry.

You wouldn't want to my face ever again, right?

Are you okay?

Use this.

Well then, I'll get going.

I couldn't even hold on for a bit.

It was just for a moment...

...but I feel like I'm getting pulled back in.

Mairu!

What happened?

I was in a rush and then I fell.

I'm so stupid.

Can you get up?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'll bring these stuff on my own to the classroom.

Go to the clinic for now.

I got it.

Thank you.

Hey, Mairu.

What's up?

A while ago...

I saw his back.

Did you see him?

By coincidence.

I was in a hurry to get away from him...

Then I fell.

You can't just...

...easily forget about it, huh?

I'm going.

Is there anything you need?

I'm a parttime make-up model here.

They canceled today.

Is that so?

Yes?

The parttimer makeup model is here.

I'm opening the door.

Did you see someone come up here?

I am the makeup model, Matsumaru Ayano.

No, no. Wait!

You can open your eyes now.

I'm doing your eyebrows next.

By the way...

Were you already aware that Mairu finally found her premonition of love?

I know. Don't move.

What the heck is up with her?

She's already consulted you, after all.

Don't move.

I think she and Kouzuki Mirai would be perfect for each other.

Don't move.

That's why...

A burden has finally been taken off your shoulders now.

Do you want to go to our school festival with me?

Done.

Next is lipstick.

Senpai!

I'm not going.

Why?!

Close your mouth.

Not interested.

Done.

It's complete.

You look perfect.

What's wrong?

You said you aren't interested.

It's not because you don't want to go.

It's because you aren't interested about me.

Both.

No matter how I do my best to make myself look pretty...

It won't make sense if the person I love won't even look my way!

You...

You should atleast show kindness towards women, you know?

I don't want to do something that implies something else.

Are you doing it because of yourself?

I heard she's finally coming home to Japan next week.

Toritani Momo.

Hello! -Welcome!

Fuwari.

Maehara, you're here.

No, I'm more surprised.

Do you come here often?

Yeah.

Please don't mind what I said last time.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know anything.

No worries.

It's not like I was hiding it.

Hey, Maehara.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I don't have on as of now.

As of now?

Actually, I'm divorced.

I was so cooped up with work.

I made her feel lonely all those times...

She dumped me.

I see.

How's your wife?

We have a daughter.

I do want to see her, but...

Seems like they hate me so much.

You know what they say, "You get what you deserve."

Although...

I know you're working hard for your family.

Well, that is true.

But of course...

If you don't take good care of what's important to you, and don't tell them that they are important, you'll lose it all.

I wasn't able to tell them that.

There's that, too.

But when it comes to feelings, if you don't say it out loud, it won't reach the other person.

Yeah.

People's feelings can be complicated.

It doesn't need logic.

Yes.

I've come this far already and all...

But, I can't come any closer than this.

Hey...

I'm sorry!

What you saw was all a lie.

I know you don't want to listen to what I have to say...

But that was...

I'm the one who forced him into it.

Naru had no feelings for me.

Please forgive me.

If you're looking for Naru...

I'm sure he's at that Pedestrian Bridge.

Mairu!

Why are you doing this?

I...

I'm drowning in lingering regrets.

I come up here...

Or to that karaoke place...

I visit the park, the shrine, the amusement park; I went in these places all alone!

I come to the all places that I went with you.

Even knowing that you'll never be there with me.

MIRAI

I'm going home.

Thank you for the handkerchief.

I only came here to return it to you.

Mairu!

I don't have any lingering regrets.

I'm such a liar.

I do have lingering thoughts about Naru.

But I can't imagine going out with him again.

The trauma it caused me...

If ever it were to happen again...

I will break apart.

Mirai-chan.

A cake from that local bakery.

You used to like this before.

Yeah.

I bought these to bring over to my house...

Then I remembered you like this too, so...

Here.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I wasn't able to notice that you called me.

I see.

Hey, Mairu.

Would you want to look around the school festival with me?

Okay.

Yes!

Wait up, you two!

What's the meaning of this?

What? What? What?

It's what I think it is, am I right?

Mirai, that boy...

He's been in love with you for 10 years now, huh?

During the time with that news of a molester threat...

Even when he was so tired with club practices...

He immediately said "yes" when I asked him to look after you.

I couldn't even tell Mirai that I went to see Naru.

That night when you didn't come home...

He immediately rushed out and ran so fast to look for you.

Even when Mirai put so much trust in me...

I'm the worst.

I'm being unfair.

It can't go on like this!

I hope you don't get lost, Mairu.

After all, this is all because Mirai loves you so much.

That's right.

This is love.

If this isn't love, then what is?

Love?

Yes.

It's because Mirai loves you, he's doing his best to do everything with you in mind.

He wants you to look his way.

He is showing you his kindness...

...because he loves you.

He even knows what food you like.

That's true.

Mairu!

If I went out with Mirai-chan...

I believe I will be happy with him.

He won't bother with anyone else...

I believe he only has his eyes focused on me.

I'll say this to you during the School Festival:

"Will you please go out with me?"

Please go out with me!

Mirai-chan?

I'm so happy, I can't stop grinning.

I...

I'm your boyfriend starting today.

I'm sorry.

No...

It's my fault.

I rushed it.

I'm already dating you...

We can finally hold each other's hands like right now.

This is already a miracle for me.

I'll be patient.

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Hey, you're amazing at this, Mirai-chan!

I can't!

You have a connection with your neighbor.

Carrots?

After we're done...

You need to go to your club for a meetup, right?

Yeah, I have to.

I see.

If ever you have time after that...

Would you want to go with me to tonight's festival event?

I was about to say the same thing.

"‎Yabai T-Shirts Ya San" coming through!

Wasn't I supposed to go around and look at what the others have going on?

EAT SHIT!

Are you talking about me?

You came?

I was told by someone who "did her best to look pretty" to come.

This is just for today.

That's fine with me.

Where are you taking me?

First, let's get cotton candy!

Cotton candy?

Class-1, 2nd Year, are doing a Haunted House!

A ghost appeared!

I was so scared!

I'm almost done with club activities. I'll just get my things and let's meet at the gate.

Got it.

Yeah.

I wanted to do something like this with a boyfriend.

I'm not your boyfriend, though.

Let me dream atleast for today.

Hey...

That other day...

I may have came off too strong...

When I said I liked you, I was serious about it.

I wanted to atleast properly confess to you.

I wasn't able to calculate well how it would go well.

I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry."

--- has been very well received.

I already noticed...

I'm sorry to have been so reluctant.

I had fun talking with you, I couldn't help it.

If you're having fun, then just date me already!

Just give it a shot for the meanwhile!

This is so not me!

I'm still clinging even after getting rejected! This is the worst!

I can't go out with you just for that.

It has to be someone who I want to marry...

If not, then I'm not dating anyone.

Huh? What are you saying?

You're in the 10th generation and you're talking about marriage. What era are you even living in?

Moreover...

Right now...

I don't I can even fall in love with someone.

Now?

So, you mean...

You had one in the past?

What are you doing here?

I came here looking for you.

Why?

I wanted to see you.

What are you talking about?

You are only bothering me.

I---

Didn't I tell you already that I have no lingering feelings for you?!

You're lying.

Mairu, you...

I know you still love me.

That's why that other day...

You came all the way to return my handkerchief.

It was hell.

It was hell for me all this time!

Breaking up with you...

I didn't know what to do!

The park---

The shrine, the bridge, even my birthday, I came to hate all of those!

The first person in my life who I ever loved...

...to do something like that to me...

It brought me trauma!

I'm sorry.

I will never do that ever again.

I will never make you cry again.

I want one last chance.

Please come back to me.

Hit me for real if you don't want this.

I'll stop.

Could you step away from my girlfriend?

Huh?

Mairu...

Explain to me what's happening.

I was the one who forced it on her---

I didn't ask you.

Stop talking as if you're blaming her for this---

Didn't I say I wasn't asking for your opinion?!

You really won't tell me anything?

The fact that you can't tell me must mean you really had that kind of love before.

Is it with someone who's way too young? Or maybe with someone who's way too old?

As long as you love someone...

Age or anything else wouldn't matter.

Also...

Whether you have a boyfriend, or not.

I'm sorry.

I need to go.

You're so overprotective.

I ran away...

All because I couldn't give Mirai an explanation.

I'm so wicked.

A coward.

I want to disappear.

I want to disappear.

I want to disappear.

What happened this time?

You dummy.

I ran away...

All because I couldn't give Mirai an explanation.

I'm so wicked.

A coward.

I want to disappear.

I want to disappear.

I want to disappear!

What happened this time?

You dummy.

That's heavy.

I'm sorry.

I even had you listen to this mess I'm in.

Don't rub it!

The makeup might get in your eyes.

I...

I hate my past self the most.

Acting so inferior towards Naru and saying all he gave me was trauma...

And then, I can't even refuse a kiss from him.

I projected the same trauma towards Mirai.

I can't even make up an excuse.

I just ran away from it.

I'm so sly.

True enough.

You're playing dirty.

Please don't abandon me! I beg you!

You're my "God", Master Tenyu!

If you abandon me now, I---

I really need you to stop calling me "Master."

I'm not your "Master"...

But, I'm your friend, right?

You know what?

I'll look after you until you get married.

Stop crying.

Don't rub it.

Okay.

Anyway...

You can't make up your mind between the two of them?

Either one of them...

However...

Looking at how you were when I first met you in the past, I still can't believe I'm talking about this stuff with you.

The "Mairu" in front of me now...

Finally had a taste of what love is, huh?

Come on.

Puff out your chest.

Lift up your head.

You're finally in your most beautiful days.

Yes.

If ever someone treats you badly...

You shouldn't think about what rules apply when it comes to love.

It's not about what you think is right.

It's about what you want to do.

No matter the decision, no matter what you choose...

I'll always be on your side.

We're friends, after all.

Thank you so much.

To our fellow constituents...

I am Representative Kouzuki Mirai from the "I will Never Cheat" Party.

I have devoted my whole life for Mairu.

I know I haven't been honest with my feelings until just recently...

I have said thoughtless, hurtful words without second-thinking.

I haven't been able to restrain my true feelings for her currently...

I am now honestly and sincerely taking in these emotions.

Mairu...

I love you.

I promise to devote my life to her from now on.

I need your one clean vote for the "I will Never Cheat" Party...

I am in your hands.

Good day, citizens.

I am Representative Kudo Narutaro from the "I will Never Commit a Mistake again" Party.

I was in a reciprocated relationship with Mairu before.

I had the honor to have been given the chance to date her.

However...

We came to a point where we didn't meet halfway through...

It happened that I committed an outrageous wrongdoing with another woman.

However, I only committed that out of loneliness.

That was the only sole mistake I did!

I will never- and I say again, never make the same mistake again!

Citizens, I ask of you.

Please give me your one clean vote for the "I will Never Commit a Mistake again" Party.

I ask of you!

Following after what these 2 parties have delivered...

Let's hear the thoughts of the people in the city.

Please give us a moment.

Which party would you support?

The "I will Never Cheat" or The "I will Never Commit a Mistake again" Party?

Is that me?

I believe both parties delivered great intentions and a philosophy to back up their claims.

Are you choosing both?!

Are you really choosing both?

Huh? What?

Is this your final conclusion?

Your life will be decided with only one clean vote!

I'm sure I said...

"He absolutely has to be someone who will date me because he's sure that I'm the one for him."

MAIRUNOVICH

I didn't go that day to the Art room.

I didn't open the door.

I didn't see anything.

We can just make this day as the day we first start dating each other.

Hey, Mairu.

Mairu.

Mirai-chan...

I love you.

Mairu.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Mairu.

I love you.

But...

Let's break up.

I used to hate myself so much, but...

Because of you, I've slowly started liking myself a little more.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Mairu...

I'm sorry for suddenly coming over to your house.

I did erase your contact details.

I'm sorry for forcing you that day.

I didn't know you were with somebody else already.

But even if I did know, I'd still do what I did.

I no longer have a boyfriend.

We broke up.

What?

It's just as you said.

I believe I still have feelings for you.

Really?

But...

My heart was throbbing for Mirai, too.

I realized that my feelings were fluttering between you and him.

But...

I knew that what I did and felt was wrong.

I finally realized it.

I've been agonizing all this time between which is better...

Having to choose between both...

...is proof enough that the love I had for the 2 weren't that deep.

Are you saying you won't see me again?

You came here just to tell me that.

I'm sorry.

I see!

Naru...

You're amazing.

You rejected us both.

It seems to me that you've gotten kinda tough.

You think so?

I think there's still a long way for me to go.

That's not true.

I feel like you're ahead of me in more ways than one.

That happened because I met you.

You were still holding on to this.

You can go now.

This will be hard for me.

Please be happy!

Mairu, make sure you finally get the happiness you deserve.

I want to look back at him.

But, I know I shouldn't.

This is the end of us.

I made it end.

This is now goodbye.

Love- how can it sound so sweet and sad at the same time.

"The Mairu Non-Fiction."

Today's main character is Kinoshita Mairu, 17 years old.

This brave girl had just recently overcome such a huge conclusion in her life.

Mairu, who at first glance, looks like someone who is far from saving grace and was set adrift...

The conclusion she finally came to was directly turning down both love confessions she got from 2 boys.

I finally came to a decision.

I need to find that someone who will date me if he knows I'm the one.

I won't be swayed again.

Let's hear what her friend has to say about her decision.

Oh? About Kinoshita Mairu?

Let's see...

Doesn't she seem like a bottomless idiot sometimes?

Am I wrong?

She could've just kept both guys and then choose between them which she thinks is genuine and is the right one.

That's what I would've done.

What a dry insight.

Now that I'm on my own...

I won't revert to the "Poison Mushroom" that I was before.

I do have friends who give me good advice.

I'm sure that the next love I have...

...might be the last one for me.

That's my dream for now.

Do you think her dream will take flight?

This is our story record for Kinoshita Mairu, 17 years old, who dedicated all of her youth in the name of love.

As I said, stop using me for your delusions.

Thank you for coming along with it as always.

I'm back.

Welcome home.

Thank you for having me here again.

Oh, Ayano. Welcome.

I heard you're organizing a fashion show soon.

Yeah.

This is a new attempt I'm venturing...

All of my models are highschool students. I'm thinking of broadcasting live online.

If you want, you can come! I'll give you an invitation.

Really? Thank you so much!

I've always wanted to see how things go in fashion shows.

Hey, Mairu.

After I take my bath, I need to go back to the office again.

Yeah, I got it.

Take it easy, okay?

It's alright.

Ms. Fuwari.

How did it go?

It didn't go well.

Every modeling agency I've approached doesn't have available schedules.

You made sure to keep the schedule in tact, right?

Of course!

We only have 5 days left until the show.

They really made double bookings out of all the instances. Someone's playing with us.

Tenyu-senpai.

You seem to be doing well.

Yes.

That was an extreme choice you did there.

You didn't choose between them.

I learned a lot during what happened in this chapter.

If you don't fully stand up for what you believe in...

I realized that I would only hurt the person I'm with.

You've matured.

Yes.

I won't hover from one thing to another again.

What favor did you want to ask from me?

You said you owe me to death, right?

Yes.

This is my girlfriend, Kinoshita Mairu.

I'm sure you're lying.

Is this enough?

Nevermind. I can always look for someone way cooler than you.

Hey...

We've been arguing over this a lot of times now.

I lied to her and said that I had a girlfriend.

She said she needed to meet who she was first.

We have a relationship only through business so I can't ignore her.

You saved me.

Is this really okay?

You just rejected such a beautiful girl.

It's fine. I'm not interested.

Mairu, you cook for your own lunch, right?

Oh, really?

I do.

Cooking's the only thing I'm good at.

That's amazing!

I've never made one for myself.

Wait a minute.

What's the meaning of this?

Oh? That girl...

That's Kuzu Lulu, a model.

She's so popular among highschool students.

I see, so she was a model, huh?

I thought so! You know something.

Yeah.

This other day, Tenyu-senpai asked me for a favor.

She had a few visits to the shop.

Visits? What do you mean?

If I know, this girl is also after Tenyu-senpai.

Tenyu-senpai actually turned her down, you know?

Really?

Yeah.

He said he wasn't the least interested to start a relationship.

You've got nothing to worry about.

You really know nothing about him, huh?

He's a guy, you know?

He does what to be in a relationship too.

I heard there was someone he liked in the past.

Also, I have a gut feeling that he still likes that person.

A person he liked...

What is this?

This weird sound in my heart.

Could this be...

It's the same feeling like when your father found a new wife and he's going to be taken away from you!

Right! I sometimes see this in a drama!

What is this?

I feel a bit lonely.

Why did I have to hear such an important thing about him from Ayano?

That's right!

Why doesn't Tenyu-senpai tell me anything about stuff?

No, no, no!

Mairu! Hey, Mairu!

Why would you think of such a selfish thing?!

You're the one who didn't even ask him at least once if there was someone he ever liked in the past!

You only ever had him listen to what you had to say!

That's right.

I've always been super-hyper indebted to him.

Should I just support him in his romantic affairs?

That's right.

I'll help him with every fiber of my body and soul.

These are great shots.

I heard she's finally coming home to Japan next week.

Toritani Momo.

Is this really okay?

This is such a magnificent lunch.

It's alright, don't hold back.

I owe you so much to the point that I can't give it back even if on a daily basis.

Feast on it.

This is so good.

Hey...

Is there anything that's bothering you?

If ever there is, I'm always super-hyper ready to support you!

There's none.

Are you sure?

What brought this up suddenly?

This is also my way of repaying the favors.

There's nothing in particular.

I see.

Well then, if ever something happens...

Lean on me as you please when that time comes, okay?

When it comes, I'll consult you.

Sorry.

This is Kumada.

Yes.

How do I naturally make him share his worries with me?

Now that we're on it, I don't think anyone's ever come to me and ask me when it comes to romance advice.

Huh?

I understand.

Did something happen?

Seems like the fashion show won't be held.

Why, what happened?

Someone's been disrupting the operations of major brands.

Because of that, they weren't able to get models for the event.

Fuwari-chan...

Why didn't you tell my anything?

Did you hear about it from someone?

I'm sorry.

It came from me.

I work as an assistant for Maehara Studio.

I see.

Hey, Fuwari-chan.

I'll help you with anything.

I know you gave it your all for this event.

Thank you, Mairu.

It'll be okay.

I'll do what I can on my end.

Hey, Hayama.

Yes.

I'm going to see someone who I think can model for us.

Can you put up their names on a list for me?

Understood.

When I'm in trouble, I always get help from everyone.

Is there anything I can do for Fuwari?

That's right!

That's it!

Hello?

Hello, Tenyu-senpai?

I just thought up of a good idea.

Good idea?

Yeah.

I'm thinking of scouting models on my own.

Scout?

Yes! Since this a fashion show that showcases highschool students...

It might be a good idea to get models who are actively attending classes in highschool.

Right, that makes sense.

That might work.

I'll get going and start scouting.

H-hey!

Excuse me.

Would you be interested to model?

Huh?

In three days...

We're holding a fashion show with highschool models.

We don't have enough models for the show.

Sorry, I'm not into it.

I see.

I'm sorry to have held you back.

Excuse me.

Would you be interested to model?

I'm sorry.

Sorry to hold you back.

Hey!

Would you be interested to model?

Sorry, I'm so sorry!

Hey!

Excuse me.

You two cute girls over there!

Would you atleast hear me out?

Us?

Fine with us.

Really?

We do adore FUWARI KINOSHITA's clothing.

Me too.

Thank you so much!

Let's distribute these to everyone.

Hey.

Mirai-chan...

That's...

You're looking for models?

Yeah.

We don't have enough.

When's the show?

In three days.

Seriously?

I'll hand these to the girls in my club.

I'll check with our remarkable juniors, too.

Mirai-chan...

I'll get this straight.

Even if we broke up, it won't change the fact that I'm still your childhood friend.

Why do you look like you're in worship?

I'm not a Buddha.

Also, if he knew I let you go, he might resent me.

Mirai-chan...

I'm really thankful.

Alright.

Please take this.

We're looking for models!

Please take this.

What's this? Looking for models?

No way.

We're looking for models!

Would you want to be in FUWARI KINOSHITA Collection Show?

Please take this.

We're looking for female highschool models.

Would you want to be in FUWARI KINOSHITA Collection Show?

Excuse me.

Yes?

Are all the models in this show highschool students?

That's right.

I see. That seems interesting.

Hey...

If you'd like to, would you be okay if I took photos of the show?

Photos?

Oh, sorry.

This is what I do.

My name's Toritani Momo.

Photo...

A photographer.

I see!

I'll need to ask permission from the office first.

I think they'd be happy to.

Really?! - Yes!

I have my email address in there so just send me the details there.

I got it.

I leave it to you. - Yes.

Good luck! - Thank you!

She was so pretty.

I found two more.

Thank you so much!

Master Mirai! Buddha!

I see.

Thank you so much.

It didn't go well?

Ms. Fuwari.

Now that this happened, why don't we stop looking for highschool models and just go with professional adult models?

I believe I can organize a schedule for them.

I can't do that.

I've fully decided to only have highschool students as my main models for this show.

The show's in three days, you know?

I know!

I just don't want to switch models.

If that's the case...

That means I have to change the whole concept.

I would rather cancel the show.

Cancel? No way...

No!

Mairu?

I won't let you cancel the show!

Did you hear everything we said?

I...

I love all the clothes that you make.

You've always given me the strength I need when I talk to you about my relationship affairs.

That's why, I can't allow you to cancel now!

Thank you, Mairu.

But, if we can't gather models in time...

We can't do much about it.

If you're looking for models...

I'll search for you.

I only gathered 4, so far...

But, I'm sure I'll make it in time.

I'll come up with something!

So, let's both do our best, Fuwari-chan!

Thank you, Mairu.

Alright.

Are you sure?

Thank you so much!

Please send us an email using this address.

Got it.

I'm looking forward.

I only got 5.

No!

What will worrying about it do?

Sorry, I didn't get anyone today.

What should I do...

You're distributing leaflets to people this time? What happened to you?

Ayano...

You really are just...

Why didn't you come and let me know about this?

How many did you get so far?

Only 5.

How much more do you need?

10 more.

10, huh?

As I thought...

This is going to be tough.

Don't you underestimate the personal connections that I have!

First, let's make a timeline.

On the next day, at Shibuya Club...

FUWARI KINOSHITA Fashion Show will be held.

It comes along with great news for everyone!

We're currently looking for several highschool students who can model for the show!

This is on a first-come, first serve basis.

Please contact me for those who are interested!

Ayano...

What do you mean by "first-come, first serve"?

When you tell people that something is on a "first-come, first serve" basis, the more they become enthusiastic.

That's a psychology trick I follow.

This is one of life's greatest wisdom.

Life's greatest wisdom?

The"first-come, first serve" saying also applies to love. -Matsumaru Ayano

Life's greatest wisdom.

Go, Ayano!

All that's left...

We use SNS messaging to its full capacity.

I really can't do anything myself, huh?

I wanted to be Fuwari-chan's strength...

I didn't do much at all to help.

Idiot.

You're still a 100 years too early to be imitating what I can do.

True enough.

I'm saying that we put the right man on the right job.

You should just keep doing the things that only you can do.

Things only I can do?

Hello?

Yeah.

Yes, that's right! The show is on the next day!

We're scheduled for an outfit fitting tomorrow so we need to gather everyone by tomorrow.

What do you think?

Yes!

Thank you!

Okay, I got it!

Thank you so much!

Everyone...

This was such a sudden request...

But, I'm so thankful you all gathered here today.

I love all the clothes that you make!

The feeling is mutual!

Me too!

Ms. Fuwari...

I'm so thankful to each and everyone.

Starting right now...

I will need to take everyone's size for tomorrow's show.

After that, we need you to undergo a runway walk rehearsal.

Thank you for being here with us!

We are in your care!

Isn't that Kuzu Lulu?

I was destined to become a model ever since I was born.

Oh, right. Why is she here?

She isn't in my record.

Who brought her here?

It isn't me.

Oh, I think she might be one of the girls that Mirai got.

Seriously? What if she lays her fingers on Tenyu-senpai again?!

You guys need to walk on one straight direction.

Stop for 3 seconds when you get to the edge of the stage and then strike a pose.

You need to think about what kind of pose you'll do.

Okay, 3 minutes break.

H-H-Hey, hey...

How are you?

Who are you?

I met you that other day with Tenyu-senpai...

Oh! Tenyu's girlfriend?

That's right!

We had to put up a script so she could give up on him.

I'll be honest with you...

If you lay your hands on Tenyu-senpai, the almighty Matsumaru Ayano will never go easy on you!

I actually don't have such strong feelings for him, though.

I found my prince already and his name is Mirai.

Have a good day.

Will Mirai be okay?

If it's him, I'm sure he'll be fine.

"An unstable and beautiful model and her clear autumn sky." -Matsumaru Ayano. A haiku from the heart.

No, it feels off.

This kind of style approach might work.

Yeah, that seems good.

A simple touch for the clothes.

Everyone!

I made rice balls!

Please eat these if you'd like.

Thank you so much!

Mairu...

Did you make these on your own?

Yeah.

This is all that I can do.

That's not true.

You were able to gather models for me.

That's the works of Ayano.

You 2 helped out so much. Thank you!

No way!

I'm really sorry.

The train I'm in was put to a halt due to an accident so I don't know what time I can come.

It seems to be a personal accident. I'm not sure what time I can get there.

What should we do?

I can't do it!

It can't be helped! We lack models.

Me, showing myself to everyone?

You always imagine it, didn't you? When you watch idol DVD's.

This and that are two different things!

We're the only ones who know the runway so it's up to us now.

We have no choice but to do it.

Ayano...

Aren't you actually delighted to model for this event and come out in front of people?

S-Shut up!

I told you, it can't be helped.

Mairu...

The photographer is at the lobby now.

Thank you so much.

I'm looking forward to today's event.

Likewise.

To think you'd come over!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were such a famous person.

Not at all! You don't have to call me that.

I heard you were in Paris the whole time, so when did you get back here?

I got back since a week ago.

It's been a while since I was home and I wanted to start from scratch here.

I see.

Thank you for coming over today.

We'll give everything we've got for this event.

Yes! I'm excited for today.

Fuwari...

Looking forward to today's event.

Momo!

Hey, Maehara!

It's been a while!

You know Maehara too?

Yes.

Wait, why are you here?

I heard you were doing a fashion show with only highschool students as your models.

I wanted to take photos of the event.

I see.

It's been so long, Tenyu.

It's been a while.

Oh?

You got taller.

A bit.

I see.

Looking forward to working with you today.

I am in your care.

Well, Maehara.

I need to go and get them ready.

Yeah.

Tenyu-senpai.

What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

I'm alright.

But...

You don't look well to me.

I'm really okay.

Tenyu-senpai.

Don't move.

This is the first time I saw him with that expression.

No matter how you look at him, I know he's worrying about something.

He won't talk about it with me.

Maybe because he can't rely on me.

Alright, you're done.

Thank you so much.

We're starting in a few minutes! Please take note.

Hey!

Why do you look like you've reverted to your "Poison Mushroom" state?

Today, no matter what, you are an edible mushroom!

No, you are a large edible mushroom!

I love large edible mushrooms when they're steamed in a dobin teapot.

You sound like a bigtime politician who's talking about his favorite food.

You want to make sure that Fuwari's show come out successfully, right?

I'm saying you have to heave out some confidence and strut out there!

That's right.

I only need to just think about Fuwari-chan's show!

Alright.

1 minute until showdown!

Where did all the confidence earlier go?

Hey, okay, okay, okay!

Here you go!

FUWARI KINOSHITA COLLECTION 2020

They look so amazing!

That girls looks so cool! The other one looks so cute too!

That girl is my bias.

She's so cute! -So, so cute!

Would you like to go shopping with me next time?

So cute!

FUWARI KINOSHITA COLLECTION

To everyone who's watching this show...

I hope everyone enjoyed it!

Today's event is different from the usual ones.

We are showcasing the collection through live broadcasting.

It was my vision to let everyone see these highschool students enjoy their youth to its best in its raw form.

The one who gave me that inspiration...

...is my niece.

Me?

Thank you for always being there by my side...

Mairu.

So, that's the reason Fuwari was so adamant on getting highschool girls.

To my staff who made this possible...

To my models...

To everyone who's watching this behind your screen...

Thank you so much!

From now on...

FUWARI KINOSHITA

...will keep thriving for everyone.

It's finally over!

You can actually afford to be in such a relaxed state.

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

I mean, aren't you Tenyu's girlfriend?

Oh, no! I, uhh...

Even though Tenyu's ex-girlfriend is here in the studio, you don't look worried.

If I were you, I wouldn't be able to stay calm!

Ex-girlfriend?

Oh? You didn't know?

It's the photographer, Toritani Momo.

That person... she was...
