Original subtitles

I...

I'm not good-natured!

Huh?

Even with you, Kotoha,

I wasn't trying to save you.

Back then,

I kept chanting in my heart,

over and over,

'This isn't about saving someone.'

I...

had already fallen in love with

Furuhashi Kotoha

from the very beginning.

"Call Me by No Name"

(Chapter 4: Evidence of doing good deeds)

Huh?

No way.

What to do?

This is bad.

Hurry up and help him.

Someone…

Please, help...

Excuse me.

You've been involved in

volunteer work before, haven't you?

Have you always had

a strong desire to help others?

That's not it.

What were you feeling at the time of the accident?

My body just moved without any thought.

- Please tell us. - I wasn't thinking about anything.

(She has always been committed to saving lives, driven by a will stronger than fear)

(On May 23, at around 8 p.m.,)

(Ms. Yotsugi Megumi helped)

(a male driver around Eichi University)

(Hes quick response was one of the factors that saved the man's life)

(Part of the public praised her as a "virtuous person" or a "guardian angel)

So you're taking a leave of absence?

Mm.

Just until things settle down.

That's probably for the best.

You take on too much, Megumi.

Back then…

I couldn't help but think

it was all fake.

What was?

Everything.

I'll wait for you to come back.

Meguchi!

I didn't know you could

make a face like that.

What are you talking about?

Just grab my hand already!

You see,

I have something I want to say.

What?

- Does it have to be now? - Yeah, now.

Back then...

I...

Back when I first met you, Kotoha,

I was hopeless, disillusioned

with people and myself.

I swore I'd never

save anyone again, even if it killed me.

I'm not a good person.

I'm...

Just a selfish, narrow-minded person.

I hated myself

and wanted to disappear.

But...

That night,

you found me.

You took my hand.

And after

meeting you, Kotoha,

I started to like myself just a little.

I stopped caring about

how others see me,

and it's all because of you.

What am I even saying?

Sorry

for ruining the date

with this weird nonsense.

You can laugh if you want.

I'm not going to laugh.

I'm not going to laugh.

Because I...

like that about Meguchi.

I will never...

laugh at you.

Definitely a fever.

Meguchi, the porridge's ready.

Think you can eat?

I'll eat.

Here you go. Enjoy.

Thanks.

Bon appétit.

Ah,

Meguchi, ahhh.

Kotoha.

Did you get fevers as a kid?

Yeah, all the time back then.

My mom would worry herself sick

every time I had a fever,

she would take care of me day and night.

I see.

My mom was the worst.

She'd make way better

porridge than this.

Packed with eggs and salmon,

full of nutrients.

The worst?

Sounds like the best mom ever.

She was a terrible woman.

She gave me that kind of name...

Like being a witch who casted a curse.

A curse?

Meguchi, you need more water, right?

Ah...

Yeah. Thanks.

My name is a curse

that can never be lifted.

A fate I can never escape.

Is your name really that bad?

I think it's terrible,

but

maybe it depends on the context.

Well...

The characters look pretty, I guess.

Where's your mom now?

She's dead.

Bad witches are meant to burn,

aren't they?

Kotoha...

Come on, eat.

Your porridge's getting cold.

Here.

Weren't we supposed to work

on the report together?

Sorry!

There's something I need to look into.

Hey.

Hmm?

Words that look good in letters

but can have a bad meaning

depending on the context?

Can you think of any?

Huh?

Umm...

Maybe something like

"hanauri" (flower seller)?

Or, on a related note,

The words "sale" and "spring" combined

to form "prostitution"

should be similar.

I see.

So, kanji that are harmless on their own

but take on a bad meaning

when combined...

Umm...

Hmm.

Still working on that quiz from before?

(Combined words with bad meaning)

Think you'll get the answer? (Combined words with bad meaning)

(Combined words with bad meaning)

Mm.

I feel like I'm getting closer.

But...

I'm sure even if I win,

I'm not sure the current me

would happy about it.

But...

I can't just stay

like this forever, either.

I have no idea what the right answer is.

Well,

one thing I can say is that

there's no such thing as

a right or wrong answer in love.

Giving advice like a love expert again.

That means everything depends

on your determination.

Megumi-chan.

This is your life.

That's deep.

Ah!

Hey!

Wait there.

What?

Let me ask you,

what kind of relationship did

you have with Furuhashi Kotoha?

Huh?

Nothing, really.

My turn just came up, that's all.

Your turn?

You know that Kotoha sleeps

with many people, right?

Well...

She doesn't just sleep

with anyone, though.

She's super particular about it.

What do you mean?

She never sleeps with the same person twice.

Once she's done, it's over.

Goodbye, see you never.

It's like she's on some

kind of quota or something.

Then...

So, the other day,

it was just your turn?

I...

I couldn't stand it.

I...

I liked Kotoha.

That's why, that night, before

I went to her place, I confessed.

- And... - Koto...

when she rejected you, you got angry

and dumped her by the garbage pile.

- I told you, that was an argument... - Enough.

Thanks. I'll take my leave.

Hey!

Why did you suddenly ask about that?

It's none of your business.

Don't tell me,

you're into Kotoha too?

I'm dating Kotoha.

Huh...

'Dating, ' huh...

What? Got a problem with that?

No.

Mm...

That's good.

I'm not prejudiced or anything.

But,

that kind of thing

can't last forever, right?

Huh?

Well...

there are limits to what women

can do together in the future.

When the time comes,

I could teach Kotoho

what 'real love' is.

Huh?

At the very least, I think

someone who left the girl

he claims to love by a garbage pile

has no idea what 'real love' is!

Meguchi!

Kotoha.

What are you doing here?

Where's your umbrella?

I saw you heading toward

the science building earlier…

So I came here.

Rain...

You don't like it either, do you?

Huh?

I don't like it.

And thunder is even worse.

Really?

That's surprising.

I mean it.

It's childish, right?

But I still find it scary.

That's why...

just having someone nearby

makes me feel a little safer.

Kotoha.

I...

Might have fallen in love with Kotoha...

For real.

I...

I know it's sudden, and I know

it might be overwhelming.

And there's still that whole contest thing.

But I just wanted to say it, properly.

Meguchi.

Kotoha...

You...

Could you sleep with me?

Huh?

Do you want to hold me,

or be held by me,

at all?

You can't, can you?

It's not the same as kissing, right?

- That is... - Hey, Meguchi.

If you don't figure out my name soon,

you'll start losing

your mind bit by bit.

(Next episode)

I'm prepared.

Thank you for liking me.

Why are you here?

You're going to hug me?

I don't hate being treated

like this by Kotoha.
