Okay.

I'm gonna...

ask Isla out on a date!

Morning!

I want to ask you something. Got a second?

Huh...

Did you wash all this yourself?

It's really no big deal.

A-Are you okay? Can I help?

I'm fine. What did you want to talk about?

Oh, right.

About our next day off. See...

I'll take care of my own stuff, okay?

Tsukasa, this is my job.

But we've always just sent them to the cleaners!

But now I'm into laundry!

That's fine and all, but I can't let you wash my underwear, too!

Underwear...?

I-I don't mind...

But I do mind!

I'll just take care of my own stuff myself!

I appreciate the thought!

I forgot to ask her.

I'm thinking of...

asking Isla out on a date!

H-Hold on!

#07 How to Ask Her Out

Don't jump the gun, Tsukasa.

Yeah. The other day, when you tried to take her to the amusement park,

she totally shot you down, remember?

Maybe you shouldn't reopen those old wounds.

Really, it's very important to give her space.

If you try to get too close too quickly, she could end up hating you instead.

Are you speaking from experience?

These days, when I talk to my daughter, she just glowers at me.

Well, let's set aside the boss's problems for now.

What? Come on, listen to my story!

Good for you, Tsukasa! I'm on your side, okay?

Yasutaka...

Hey, Constance. Give Tsukasa some pointers on asking a girl out.

Right, let's see...

As long as you're forthright and honest,

I'm sure that Isla will understand your feelings.

Okay!

I wish you'd let me put in my two cents.

Hey! Are you cleaning off my desk?

It was somewhat cluttered.

You know, I feel kind of bad for making you do that.

It's all right. This is also what partners do.

By the way, about our next day off... Huh?

The papers I left here... where'd you put them?

I threw them away.

But I was still using them.

No, it's fine! It's fine! All I have to do is start over!

R-Really!

Everything is fine!

I guess I'll ask her out later.

Okay, that's it for today!

It went a lot better than we expected, huh?

Listen, Isla.

I have something important to say.

I, too, have something important to say.

W-What is it?

I think...

I'm lost.

I don't know...

How to get home.

What should we do?

Should've turned on your navigation system.

I wanted to look good.

So I didn't.

Using a navigation system won't really make you look bad.

You still haven't asked her out?

Yeah...

Geez, what happened to all the bluster we saw this morning?

You shouldn't force a pushover like Tsukasa into something.

No, momentum's key! In fact, it's better to be a little forceful!

If you don't go for it now, when will you?

The day you have today...

It only comes once.

Y-You really think so—

Damn straight!

All right, now go for the kill!

What?

I think I'll try another day...

Not happening. It's got to be today.

Off you go! Go! Go!

Isla...

Is something wrong?

You seem kind of down.

Today...

I caused you a lot of trouble.

Don't worry about it, okay?

Actually...

You've been acting kind of different today.

Doing laundry, clearing my desk, and all.

Because I wanted to be useful.

I wanted to be useful to you.

Isla...

Listen.

On our next day off,

if you don't mind,

why don't we go somewhere together?

What kind of job would that be?

I don't mean for work.

I mean personal time.

I-In other words, l-l-let's go on a d-date! I mean, please go out with me!

If I do...

Will that make me useful to you?

It's not about whether you're useful or not.

But if you say yes, it'll make me really happy!

I guess not, huh?

All right.

Yeah, I knew it. Of course you wou—

Huh?

I'll go.

It's personal, you know. Are you sure?

Then it's settled!

Looks like I won the bet.

You're buying me lunch tomorrow, got that?

Damn.

Thanks!

Hey, Tsukasa.

Come here a second.

Kazuki! Please don't be so rough!

I hear you're going on a date?

Y-Yes.

Well, don't get too carried away.

I've left Isla in your care,

but that doesn't mean you can slack off at work, okay?

I-I understand!

Then we're good.

Kazuki's absolutely right.

I'm still just a rookie.

I've got to pull my weight!

I'm digging in!

I'm heading out for my rounds!

H-Hey, is that all you're having for lunch? Are you sure you're eating right?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Okay, see you later!

That guy's been really gung-ho lately. I wonder if he's really okay?

If it bothers you, why not make lunch for him? You're a good cook.

Wh-Why should I have to...?

Well, I guess since all Tsukasa's thinking about right now is that date,

you probably wouldn't get any compliments out of him.

Huh?

Whoa, whoa!

What do you mean, date? What's up with that? I mean, a date with who?

With Isla.

I-Is that right? No wonder he's been in such a good mood.

Does it bother you?

Of course it doesn't! Humph, what a moron I was for worrying!

So it does bother you!

Shut up!

So this date...

Where are you going?

Well, you see... Tsukasa said he wanted me to decide.

Wow, leaving all the decision-making to the girl?

That guy's really irresponsible!

So where do you want to go, Islacchi?

I don't know.

I figured.

Hmm, I guess in this kind of situation, maybe a movie or the aquarium?

Whoa! Pretty safe choices for you, huh, Eru?

What kind of person do you think I am, Zack-cchi?

You really wanna know?

No thanks, I'll pass.

Anyway, it's their first date, so I don't see anything wrong with playing it safe.

Michirucchi, where would you go?

Let's see...

The beach...

I guess?

Ah...

Beaches aren't officially open yet.

I know that!

And that's why a beach would be pretty much deserted now.

They can enjoy quality time together.

Oh, that's a great idea!

Roaming the shore, with a big white dog...

Right! Right!

Squealing and laughing at the water's edge...

Uh-huh!

And then, as they watch the sun sink below the horizon,

they whisper their love to each other.

"I love you."

"Today, I don't want to let you go home."

Today, I don't want to let you go home.

"Don't ever let go of me, ever!"

Don't ever let go of me, ever!

And then they'll hold each other...

You romantic girl!

Look, that came out wrong!

Islacchi, it's not a bad idea to keep all that in mind.

Michiru is romantic.

Don't go putting ideas in her head!

You don't have to just do what we say.

Anyway, are you sure there's nowhere you want to go?

Somewhere I want to go...

Oh, right.

What are you planning to wear?

This.

But you know that won't do! What about your own clothes? Don't you have any?

I have this.

It's all shredded...

Oh, then why not let me add some more frills to it?

You'll add a bunch of your own bizarre touches, so no.

Never mind. I'll fix it.

Michiru... are you sure?

Well, it is your first date. You have to go in style!

First date...

The amusement park.

For where to go tomorrow.

How about the amusement park?

The amusement park...

Are you sure?

I can't think of anywhere else.

And also, because...

I turned you down that day.

I've felt bad about that...

Ever since.

So this time,

I want to go with you.

All right.

Then it's settled!

Kazuki took me to the amusement park again. I really enjoyed it. She'd didn't show it on her face, but I think she did too.

She couldn't think of anywhere else, huh?

It's already so hot in the morning...

No, wait, is it cold?

Tsukasa. Are you awake?

Yeah, good morning!

This looks weird, doesn't it?

I think...

It looks great!

Where should we go first?

Isla?

This way.

It's...

Still here.

So...

This bench is your favorite spot?

That's what your diary said.

You used to come here a lot when you were partners with Kazuki, right?

I'd sit here until the sun went down, looking at the smiles on all the different people.

I could forget all my worries, and I'd start to feel warm inside.

Kazuki was with you the whole time, too?

She was always asleep next to me.

I see. When was the last time you were here?

Three years ago. That was when she told me we couldn't be partners anymore.

Because I'd caused so much trouble for her.

And because of that, you stopped coming?

Well, that's not the only reason.

When I come here,

happy things and sad things...

All kinds of feelings flood through me.

Isla...

What else about this amusement park do you like?

The roller coasters? The Ferris wheel?

I don't know. I've never been on them.

Not even once?

Then want to try it all out today?

There are all kinds of fun things to do here.

It would be a waste to never know what they're like.

Come on, let's go!

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.

Maybe I'm just being egotistical.

But Isla...

I want her to enjoy

every moment as much as she can.

Tsukasa!

I used to look out over the park from there.

It's so tiny.

That's also where you and I met for the first time, right?

It seems so hard to believe.

At the time...

I never dreamed that one day...

I'd ride the Ferris Wheel with you.

I'm glad.

She's having a good time.

I'm so glad.

Tsukasa?

E-Error!

This is inappropriate...

I...

What should I...?

Tsukasa?

Tsukasa!

Huh...?

Tsukasa.

Are you awake?

What happened?

Don't you remember?

We were on the Ferris wheel, and you collapsed.

Did I? I don't remember a thing.

Sorry I caused you so much trouble.

Don't give it another thought.

I think it must be fatigue.

We'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

Stay in bed.

I'll get some water.

Tsukasa, is it true that you passed out during your date?

You'd better not cause any trouble for Isla.

Geez! This is why you can't trust an amateur!

I made you some rice gruel, so eat it and get yourself some rest.

I-t's not like I'm doing this for you or anything!

If you miss work, I'll have to pick up the slack, you know?

And that's just not acceptable.

That's all.

Got it?

All right!

Let's go with that!

But he...

He might already be asleep.

And he has Isla there.

It might seem like I'm butting in or something.

That would be awful.

Forget it.

Pretty pathetic, huh?

You know, I'm always collapsing when something important happens.

The reason I didn't get into college is

that I got appendicitis on the day of the test.

But thanks to that, I got to join the Terminal Service,

and I got to meet you, Isla.

When you look at it that way, I guess breaking down isn't all that bad, huh?

I want you to always smile.

I made you worry, didn't I?

Sorry.

Tsukasa?

My...

My lifespan is...

Only have about a month left.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Because...

I didn't tell you till now.

Isla.

Until the very end,

I want to be your partner.

Is that...

Okay with you?

Did you have a good time today?

Would you...

Go with me again some time?

Hey, I think I feel a lot a better after a night's sleep.

I don't need to go to the hospital.

Huh? Isla? What's wrong?

After staying up with you all night...

I think...

My batteries are...

...running out.

Hang in there!
