7. Yutaka and I first met Rikako
two years ago.Copy !req
8. It was the summer
of ourjunior year.Copy !req
9. Yutaka called me at work.Copy !req
10. Hurry up kid!
More dishes! Keep 'em coming!Copy !req
11. OK!Copy !req
12. Taku, telephone!Copy !req
13. Coming.Copy !req
14. Hello.Copy !req
15. - Taku?
- Hey, Yutaka.Copy !req
16. Come to school
as soon as you finish today.Copy !req
17. I'll be here waiting for you.Copy !req
18. OK.Copy !req
19. Sorry, I have to leave
early today.Copy !req
20. Now wait a minute!Copy !req
21. See you tomorrow!Copy !req
22. You can't rely on kids!Copy !req
23. See you!Copy !req
24. Yutaka!Copy !req
25. You got here fast.Copy !req
26. You told me to!Copy !req
27. Take a look.Copy !req
28. Who is it? I can't see.Copy !req
29. Just transferred to my class.Copy !req
30. Her name's Rikako Muto.Copy !req
31. - From next semester?
- Yeah.Copy !req
32. A mid-year transfer?
That's unusual.Copy !req
33. She moved here
from Tokyo, that's why.Copy !req
34. I just showed her
around the school.Copy !req
35. That's right,
you're on the student council.Copy !req
36. You really like her, huh?Copy !req
37. Anyone would,
she's really good looking.Copy !req
38. Really?Copy !req
39. I can't tell, and we can't just
walk down and look.Copy !req
40. If you want, we can go down...Copy !req
41. and say we have a question.Copy !req
42. Nah, let's not go that far.Copy !req
43. The teachers know
I'm working this summer...Copy !req
44. and not taking classes.Copy !req
45. Still mad about
the junior high school trip?Copy !req
46. I don't like the way
they just cancelled it...Copy !req
47. and tried to buy us off
with Hawaii in high school.Copy !req
48. Do they think we're stupid?Copy !req
49. Everyone's excited about Hawaii.
I think it was a good move.Copy !req
50. A relaxing trip will help us
cram for college entrance exams.Copy !req
51. Hawaii's expensive.
I need to make some money.Copy !req
52. Just remember to keep up
with your studies.Copy !req
53. Don't fall behind.Copy !req
54. Sure.Copy !req
55. By the way, was there something
you wanted to talk about?Copy !req
56. Not really.
I just felt like seeing you.Copy !req
57. I'll get my bike.
Wait by the gate.Copy !req
58. All through junior high school
and high school...Copy !req
59. Yutaka and I
were never in the same class.Copy !req
60. Even so, I always felt
he was a close friend.Copy !req
61. It all started in our lastyear
of junior high school...Copy !req
62. when the school trip to Kyoto was
suddenly cancelled.Copy !req
63. "We regret to announce that this
year's junior high school trip..."Copy !req
64. "... has been cancelled."Copy !req
65. "In the future, junior high and
high school trips will be combined."Copy !req
66. "Lastyear, our college
placement results..."Copy !req
67. "... were lower than the
prefectural high schools'."Copy !req
68. "Our school's proud traditions
and your obligations to your parents..."Copy !req
69. "... make this completely unacceptable."Copy !req
70. "To restore our school's honor..."Copy !req
71. "... the high school seniors
must redouble their efforts."Copy !req
72. "You must set an example
for ourjunior high school seniors."Copy !req
73. Let's go see Miss Sayama.
Come on, Taku!Copy !req
74. The whole thing was so stupid...Copy !req
75. that we decided to complain
to our homeroom teacher.Copy !req
76. We all think this is unfair.Copy !req
77. Canceling the trip
won't help our grades.Copy !req
78. The school owes us
a detailed explanation.Copy !req
79. Come back when you're
in the top 100!Copy !req
80. But I'm at 89 already!Copy !req
81. Don't pressure Miss Sayama
just because she's a woman!Copy !req
82. We thought that was the end
of the matter.Copy !req
83. But a week later,
at the morning assembly -Copy !req
84. Your parents have also approved
the trip cancellation.Copy !req
85. If you're still not satisfied,
we'll explain the decision.Copy !req
86. Raise your hand
if you're still not satisfied.Copy !req
87. He's got guts.Copy !req
88. It was Yutaka Matsuno.Copy !req
89. OK.Copy !req
90. We'll explain the decision for students
who raised their hands.Copy !req
91. Go to the art room
after school. Dismissed!Copy !req
92. Meeting postponed.Copy !req
93. Write your opinions
on the paper provided.Copy !req
94. 3rd Year, Class 3 Taku MorisakiCopy !req
95. The trip cancellation
makes no sense.Copy !req
96. It's only to make the teachers
and parents feel better.Copy !req
97. I ran into Yamao
and the others just now.Copy !req
98. They're sorry for not coming.Copy !req
99. Don't hold it against them.Copy !req
100. Those jerks...Copy !req
101. 3rd Year, Class 4 Yutaka MatsunoCopy !req
102. I can't agree with this
unreasonable decision.Copy !req
103. Even 10, 20 years after I graduate...Copy !req
104. I'll still think
the school was wrong.Copy !req
105. Wow!Copy !req
106. You're already thinking
20 years into the future.Copy !req
107. After that, I always thought
of Yutaka...Copy !req
108. a bit differently
from my other friends.Copy !req
109. This is my friend Taku Morisaki.Copy !req
110. This is Rikako Muto.
She's transferring to my class.Copy !req
111. See you, then!Copy !req
112. See you next semester.Copy !req
113. What, you made your move already?Copy !req
114. Huh? No, she asked me
where the bookstore was.Copy !req
115. She needs to buy her textbooks.Copy !req
116. Obiyamachi MallCopy !req
117. The cook where I work is
this former gang member.Copy !req
118. Sometimes his old habits
come out, like...Copy !req
119. the way he squats
when he smokes.Copy !req
120. What?Copy !req
121. Do you think there's something
behind her transfer?Copy !req
122. Ah, so that's it!Copy !req
123. That's the real reason
Yutaka wanted to see me.Copy !req
124. Maybe her dad got transferred
or something like that.Copy !req
125. See you!Copy !req
126. It really irritated me
when I realized...Copy !req
127. that Yutaka was
interested in Rikako.Copy !req
128. Better forget it!
Girls only care about looks.Copy !req
129. I thought she'd never see
his real value.Copy !req
130. When the new term started...Copy !req
131. Rikako was a bit of a sensation
with us simple country boys.Copy !req
132. Hey Taku,
get a look at the girls!Copy !req
133. Ariga, right?Copy !req
134. I know, they're big.Copy !req
135. No! The far court!Copy !req
136. She's really cool.Copy !req
137. She just beat
the tennis club captain!Copy !req
138. She's really something!Copy !req
139. She plays like a pro!Copy !req
140. Tokyo kids can really hit the ball!Copy !req
141. - She stands out.
- Nice legs too!Copy !req
142. Bet that type's hard to handle.Copy !req
143. Rikako really stands out, huh?Copy !req
144. I don't know why you'd say that.Copy !req
145. Hey, Yutaka!Copy !req
146. Sorry.Copy !req
147. Rikako's out of place in class.Copy !req
148. I think it's because
she stands out too much.Copy !req
149. Out of place, huh?Copy !req
150. Yeah... in lots of ways.Copy !req
151. Rikako MutoCopy !req
152. She really stands out, huh?Copy !req
153. She's already 12th in our year!Copy !req
154. Sports and study -
She's a super woman!Copy !req
155. - Let's see Taku, you're...
- Number 92.Copy !req
156. You were a better student
in junior high.Copy !req
157. What an attitude!Copy !req
158. She's so stuck up!Copy !req
159. That's enough!
Stop gossiping.Copy !req
160. Time for class!Copy !req
161. What's wrong?
Got a crush on Rikako?Copy !req
162. No, but she doesn't seem
very happy.Copy !req
163. Oh, come off it.
She's 12th. 12th!Copy !req
164. I hear you have a new transfer?Copy !req
165. Yeah. Why?Copy !req
166. I hear her grades are excellent.Copy !req
167. Tokyo students really are top notch.Copy !req
168. How did you hear?Copy !req
169. They were talking about it in town.Copy !req
170. Rikako's family
is related to the Mutos...Copy !req
171. of Muto Fruit Packing.Copy !req
172. Her mother moved back
for family reasons.Copy !req
173. She brought
the two children with her.Copy !req
174. Maybe her parents got divorced.Copy !req
175. Is her father still in Tokyo?Copy !req
176. I wonder.Copy !req
177. I'm full.Copy !req
178. Atsushi, mind your table manners!Copy !req
179. Poor Rikako.
With her grades...Copy !req
180. she'll just go back
to Tokyo for college.Copy !req
181. Kids sure get jerked around.Copy !req
182. Now don't talk like that!Copy !req
183. A mother needs
her children with her!Copy !req
184. You don't need
to get upset about it.Copy !req
185. Relocating is a tough decision!Copy !req
186. She can't leave them
behind just for school!Copy !req
187. It's natural for her
to want them with her!Copy !req
188. Speaking from experience, huh?Copy !req
189. Now you be nice to Rikako!Copy !req
190. She must be having
a hard time adjusting.Copy !req
191. Sure, sure.Copy !req
192. Taku!Copy !req
193. Taku! Telephone!Copy !req
194. OK!Copy !req
195. Hello? Hey, Yutaka.
What's going on?Copy !req
196. Well...Copy !req
197. What?Copy !req
198. It's not really that important.Copy !req
199. I visited Rikako today!Copy !req
200. Where? At her house?Copy !req
201. She was out sick.
I heard she lives alone.Copy !req
202. I was worried.Copy !req
203. She lives alone? Her mother's
house isn't that far from school.Copy !req
204. And you went
to see her? Alone?Copy !req
205. Yeah. And... she was
alone in bed!Copy !req
206. She was in bed. So?Copy !req
207. Nothing. That's it.Copy !req
208. That's all.Copy !req
209. So you like that kind ofgirl,
do you, Yutaka?Copy !req
210. The year ended,
and March came...Copy !req
211. and with it,
the long-awaited school trip.Copy !req
212. Taku!Copy !req
213. You're not going to the beach?Copy !req
214. Today's our last day!Copy !req
215. I've had an upset stomach
all morning.Copy !req
216. Too bad! See you, then!Copy !req
217. So long.Copy !req
218. And it was here that
all the trouble started.Copy !req
219. Taku!Copy !req
220. Could you lend me some money?Copy !req
221. Money?Copy !req
222. What happened?
Did you run out?Copy !req
223. Well... not exactly.Copy !req
224. I lost all the money
I had with me!Copy !req
225. That's awful!Copy !req
226. Did you tell the teacher?Copy !req
227. With traveler's checks,
you can get your money back.Copy !req
228. I'll get in trouble.Copy !req
229. Don't be silly!
You've got to report it!Copy !req
230. I'm sorry. Your Kochi dialect
reminds me of samurai movies.Copy !req
231. Want to sit down?Copy !req
232. Let me tell you what happened.Copy !req
233. I mostly brought cash.
Travelers checks are a pain, right? So...Copy !req
234. Cash? You mean dollars?Copy !req
235. Right, about $400 in cash.Copy !req
236. I must have left it somewhere.Copy !req
237. That much? We were supposed to bring
less than ¥20,000 in cash!Copy !req
238. The rest was supposed
to be traveler's checks.Copy !req
239. Nobody really does that!Copy !req
240. You sound like
one of the teachers!Copy !req
241. Are you a goody-goody?Copy !req
242. Too bad.
I heard you were different.Copy !req
243. Your Tokyo dialect
sounds so harsh!Copy !req
244. Why? I'm not angry!Copy !req
245. And I'm not a samurai!Copy !req
246. You're mean, Taku.Copy !req
247. Nobody ever called me harsh.Copy !req
248. Is that how I sound?Copy !req
249. Yeah. Everyone thinks so.Copy !req
250. But they're afraid you'll say
they sound like samurai.Copy !req
251. OK, I'm sorry.Copy !req
252. I didn't mean
to make fun of you.Copy !req
253. You hear dialects in dramas, right?Copy !req
254. I thought dialects were all gone.Copy !req
255. But Kochi people really talk that way.
I was shocked.Copy !req
256. Still, I never told anyone
I felt that way, 'til today.Copy !req
257. Better not to.Copy !req
258. At first I couldn't
understand a word.Copy !req
259. I kept asking people
to say things twice.Copy !req
260. Maybe that's why nobody likes me.Copy !req
261. Who doesn't like you?Copy !req
262. Everybody, boys especially.
Nobody talks to me.Copy !req
263. Well, except Yutaka, the class
representative. He's nice.Copy !req
264. Yeah, Yutaka's a good guy.Copy !req
265. Did he tell you about me?Copy !req
266. Yes. I saw you working
at the restaurant...Copy !req
267. during the winter vacation.Copy !req
268. Yutaka was with me.
He said you work really hard.Copy !req
269. Then he told me a lot about you.Copy !req
270. Like your protest
over the cancelled school trip.Copy !req
271. He told you about that?Copy !req
272. You must have a lot of
money from your job, right?Copy !req
273. OK, how much?Copy !req
274. What can you spare?Copy !req
275. I brought about ¥60,000 and $400.Copy !req
276. I haven't spent much.
How about $300?Copy !req
277. Really? Then could you
lend me the ¥60,000?Copy !req
278. Wait here.Copy !req
279. Sixty thousand yen!Copy !req
280. Much obliged, Mr. Morisaki!Copy !req
281. Should I give it
to you right here?Copy !req
282. You're pretty cautious.
OK, sit down right there.Copy !req
283. Put it in this handkerchief
and hand it to me.Copy !req
284. Feels like we're doing
something illegal.Copy !req
285. I probably can't pay
you back right away.Copy !req
286. I'm expecting some money, though.Copy !req
287. Pay me back anytime.Copy !req
288. Please don't tell anyone about this.Copy !req
289. Sure, but why?Copy !req
290. Mama would yell at me.Copy !req
291. "Mama..."Copy !req
292. What's her story?Copy !req
293. Hey!Copy !req
294. I'm surprised she knew
so much about me!Copy !req
295. So you guys are friends.
Dating, huh?Copy !req
296. That wasn't a date.Copy !req
297. I ran into her over vacation.Copy !req
298. I asked her to a movie -
And she said yes.Copy !req
299. I was surprised.Copy !req
300. I couldn't think
of a thing to say.Copy !req
301. We passed your restaurant,
so I started talking about you.Copy !req
302. It really helped.Copy !req
303. Maybe, but I just got
hit up for a loan.Copy !req
304. Rikako asked you for a loan?Copy !req
305. Yeah. I walked by,
and she said she lost her money.Copy !req
306. Maybe she remembered
I made money over the break.Copy !req
307. So she lost all her money?
Poor thing!Copy !req
308. - Want to walk around town?
- Sure.Copy !req
309. Wait a sec, I'll leave my stuff.Copy !req
310. Cool, isn't it?Copy !req
311. I said not to tell!
You already told Yutaka!Copy !req
312. Huh? What did he say?Copy !req
313. He offered to lend me money!Copy !req
314. See?
Isn't he a good guy?Copy !req
315. I borrowed ¥20,000...
but really, keep this a secret!Copy !req
316. You're awfully chatty for a boy!Copy !req
317. What was that?
How did her parents raise her?Copy !req
318. The next day we returned to Kochi...Copy !req
319. and I bought some candid shots
of Rikako from a friend.Copy !req
320. I felt like getting even.Copy !req
321. And I thought that was it
for my bad feelings.Copy !req
322. But next term,
we ended up in the same class.Copy !req
323. Yumi, lunch!Copy !req
324. Rikako finally made a friend -Copy !req
325. - a quiet girl in the same class.
Her name was Yumi Kohama.Copy !req
326. That was nice for her...Copy !req
327. but the May holidays came, and
I still didn't have my money.Copy !req
328. I thought she'd forgotten it.Copy !req
329. Taku, telephone!
It's Yumi Kohama.Copy !req
330. Is that you Yumi?Copy !req
331. Where are you calling from?Copy !req
332. You're the only person
I could think of to call!Copy !req
333. What's wrong?Copy !req
334. We were going to Osaka
for two nights...Copy !req
335. for a concert.Copy !req
336. Now we're at the airport,
and Rikako says she's going to Tokyo!Copy !req
337. That was her plan all along!Copy !req
338. She doesn't know I'm calling you.Copy !req
339. Unbelievable!Copy !req
340. She says there's no difference
where we go.Copy !req
341. Rikako even bought
two tickets to Tokyo.Copy !req
342. I don't want to lie
to my mother!Copy !req
343. Look, calm down!
You don't have to go!Copy !req
344. Just leave and let Rikako
go by herself.Copy !req
345. I can't! Her mother let her go
because I'm with her!Copy !req
346. She really wants me to go.
What should I do?Copy !req
347. What should you do...?Copy !req
348. Wait a minute!
Why are you asking me?Copy !req
349. She told me you lent her
the money for the tickets.Copy !req
350. You're her friend.
Can't you convince her?Copy !req
351. Please come to the airport.
Our flight is at 11:30.Copy !req
352. We've got 90 minutes.Copy !req
353. I really need you to come!Copy !req
354. That money again!Copy !req
355. So she didn't really
lose her money. It was a lie!Copy !req
356. It was just part of her plan
for this trip!Copy !req
357. What a jerk!Copy !req
358. Kochi AirportCopy !req
359. Taku!Copy !req
360. You came!Copy !req
361. Where is she?Copy !req
362. In the rest room.Copy !req
363. Says she's not feeling well.Copy !req
364. I wish she'd get worse.
Then we wouldn't have to go!Copy !req
365. Anyway, she's way out of line!Copy !req
366. You're her friend.
You should tell her off!Copy !req
367. She really wants to see her father.
I feel sorry for her.Copy !req
368. Her father?Copy !req
369. What are you doing here?
Did Yumi call you?Copy !req
370. Rikako, let's not lie
about this trip!Copy !req
371. Let's tell your mother.Copy !req
372. She'd never let me go!Copy !req
373. I've been planning
this for so long.Copy !req
374. Wait a minute.
OK, how about this.Copy !req
375. Yumi, call home.
Say you feel sick and can't go.Copy !req
376. But...Copy !req
377. And Rikako's going by herself...Copy !req
378. because it would be a shame
to waste both tickets.Copy !req
379. Your parents
will worry only about you.Copy !req
380. They won't think about Rikako.Copy !req
381. You're right!
My mom doesn't know Rikako's mom.Copy !req
382. She won't say anything.Copy !req
383. OK, fine.Copy !req
384. I'll call her!Copy !req
385. Yumi's from a strict family.Copy !req
386. She's not going to run
off to Tokyo just like that.Copy !req
387. So, you're not feeling well?Copy !req
388. My period just started.
Sometimes it's really bad.Copy !req
389. It must be tough.Copy !req
390. Boys don't know what it's like.Copy !req
391. Do you really have to go?Copy !req
392. I'll get your money from Papa.
Don't worry, I'll pay you.Copy !req
393. If you're worried about going alone,
shall I go with you?Copy !req
394. Really?
Would you really do that?Copy !req
395. Hey, listen.Copy !req
396. Your father knows
you're coming, right?Copy !req
397. Is he meeting you?Copy !req
398. No, I doubt it.Copy !req
399. Could he find a place
for me to stay?Copy !req
400. Sure, I'll ask him.Copy !req
401. When I see Papa,
I'm going to tell him.Copy !req
402. I want to move back to Tokyo
and live with him.Copy !req
403. "We are now on our final approach
to Haneda Airport."Copy !req
404. As I followed Rikako
around Tokyo, I thought -Copy !req
405. "She's done it to me again."Copy !req
406. But I couldn't just let her go
to Tokyo by herself.Copy !req
407. The cherry trees around here
are really nice.Copy !req
408. This is the old part of town.Copy !req
409. My grandparents used to live here.
This was all farm land.Copy !req
410. They built apartments,
and we got the nicest one.Copy !req
411. It was big, even for four of us.
I bet Papa's lonely.Copy !req
412. He'll be glad to see you.Copy !req
413. It's good to be back.Copy !req
414. Who is it?Copy !req
415. Isn't this the Mutos?Copy !req
416. Yes, that's right.Copy !req
417. Umm... is Papa home?Copy !req
418. Is that Rikako? I'll come down,
wait in the lobby!Copy !req
419. What a surprise!
I didn't know you were coming.Copy !req
420. Are you alone?Copy !req
421. My boyfriend, from Kochi.Copy !req
422. It's the May holidays.
We came to visit.Copy !req
423. Oh really?
Thanks for looking after Rikako.Copy !req
424. Shall we go for coffee?Copy !req
425. I want to see my old room!
How's it look?Copy !req
426. OK, let's go up.Copy !req
427. I'm sorry... could you wait
here for a little while?Copy !req
428. Sure.Copy !req
429. Taku, thanks
for putting up with Rikako.Copy !req
430. I hear you don't have a place to stay?
I made a reservation.Copy !req
431. And Rikako owes you money.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
432. I really felt sorry for her -
From the bottom of my heart.Copy !req
433. Guide to West ShinjukuCopy !req
434. Hi, Mom?Copy !req
435. Taku? It's almost dinner time.
Come home.Copy !req
436. Look, I can't make it tonight.Copy !req
437. OK, we'll go ahead.
Don't be too late.Copy !req
438. I'm in Tokyo.Copy !req
439. Tokyo? How did you get there?Copy !req
440. I took a plane
straight to Tokyo.Copy !req
441. What?Copy !req
442. I'm escorting someone.Copy !req
443. Escorting? Who?Copy !req
444. I'll be home in two days.Copy !req
445. What's going on?Copy !req
446. Hello? Hello?Copy !req
447. I'll explain later! Goodbye!Copy !req
448. Taku! Wait!Copy !req
449. Rikako!Copy !req
450. What happened?Copy !req
451. I'm staying here tonight.
Papa's paying, so I can if I want.Copy !req
452. Hey...Copy !req
453. The whole thing was starting
to feel like a bad soap opera.Copy !req
454. Want some beer, Rikako?Copy !req
455. No? We drink it sometimes
when no one's around.Copy !req
456. Make me a whiskey and Coke.Copy !req
457. I tried them at a friend's house.Copy !req
458. Papa's going on a trip with his
lady friend.Copy !req
459. Well, it is the May holidays.Copy !req
460. My room was completely changed!Copy !req
461. The wallpaper's dark green!Copy !req
462. I hate green!Copy !req
463. You're right.
Green's no good!Copy !req
464. All the pots are fancy enamelware.
It's so stupid.Copy !req
465. Nobody uses enamelware anymore!Copy !req
466. Listen, Taku.Copy !req
467. When my parents were fighting,
I thought Mama was wrong.Copy !req
468. She wouldn't give in,
so Papa didn't either.Copy !req
469. It ended in a bad divorce.Copy !req
470. My brother and I had to move
and leave all our friends.Copy !req
471. I was on Papa's side.Copy !req
472. But he wasn't on my side.Copy !req
473. On your side? Wait...Copy !req
474. My life is so sad.Copy !req
475. Things must be tough,
but you should help your mother.Copy !req
476. You shouldn't be living by yourself.Copy !req
477. I didn't want to impose
on Mama's family.Copy !req
478. I wasn't mad at her.Copy !req
479. Well, that's different.Copy !req
480. It's none of your business.Copy !req
481. "Good evening."Copy !req
482. "How are you spending
the May holidays?"Copy !req
483. Ouch!Copy !req
484. She's having a tough time?
What about me?Copy !req
485. Taku!Copy !req
486. Get up!Copy !req
487. It's about time.
I was waiting to use the bathroom.Copy !req
488. I had to go downstairs!Copy !req
489. Sorry...Copy !req
490. Could you leave for a while?Copy !req
491. I'm meeting someone.
I need to dress.Copy !req
492. Your father?Copy !req
493. A high school friend.
I called this morning.Copy !req
494. We're meeting downstairs.Copy !req
495. That's great.Copy !req
496. I need to shower and change.
Hurry up and leave.Copy !req
497. I think this was when I decided
to attend college in Tokyo.Copy !req
498. Seeing Rikako bounce back
made me feel at ease here somehow.Copy !req
499. Good timing. My friend just called.
We're meeting in the lobby.Copy !req
500. - Oh, really?
- See you, then!Copy !req
501. What about the key?
Are you going out?Copy !req
502. No, I'll take a nap.Copy !req
503. Really? Sorry!Copy !req
504. Don't worry.
Enjoy yourself.Copy !req
505. Hello?Copy !req
506. Taku, could you come
down to the coffee shop?Copy !req
507. What happened?
Forget your wallet?Copy !req
508. Just come down!
You're rescuing me.Copy !req
509. So, what is it this time?Copy !req
510. Taku, over here!Copy !req
511. This is Taku Morisaki.Copy !req
512. He was worried about me,
so he came along.Copy !req
513. Taku, this is Okada,
my former classmate.Copy !req
514. Hi.Copy !req
515. Rikako, a boyfriend already?
What a shock!Copy !req
516. Look who's talking.
As soon as I left...Copy !req
517. you got together with Ryoko.Copy !req
518. I feel kind of betrayed!Copy !req
519. But you're prettier.
Ryoko says so too.Copy !req
520. She says she can't compete.Copy !req
521. Listen, Taku.Copy !req
522. Wouldn't you be shocked?
I date Okada for a year...Copy !req
523. and two months after I leave,
he's dating a friend of mine!Copy !req
524. Happens all the time.Copy !req
525. Nothing surprises him, either.Copy !req
526. I called Ryoko. Are you free?Copy !req
527. Why don't we all see a movie?
Like a double date.Copy !req
528. I'd like to, but...Copy !req
529. Papa's treating me to
lunch this afternoon.Copy !req
530. Too bad. If we'd known you were
coming, we could've made plans.Copy !req
531. But your mother's not very fair.Copy !req
532. She could've left you in Tokyo.
You're going to college here anyway.Copy !req
533. She had to drag her children
off to the country.Copy !req
534. What are you talking about?
She's not a child!Copy !req
535. What's wrong, Taku?Copy !req
536. You're a bore, that's what!
You and this guy both!Copy !req
537. He must be jealous of me.
Sorry about that.Copy !req
538. I was disappointed.Copy !req
539. In Kochi, Rikako seemed so strong, but
she gets to Tokyo and all she does...Copy !req
540. is put on a big show and
fawn over a stupid guy.Copy !req
541. Rikako?Copy !req
542. Okada says to tell you
he's not mad.Copy !req
543. That guy's really dumb.Copy !req
544. When we were dating I thought
he was kind and thoughtful.Copy !req
545. I called you because
I wanted to show off.Copy !req
546. Afterwards I just felt stupid.Copy !req
547. We're really bores - he and I both.Copy !req
548. Well, I can see you'd be shocked
about his new girlfriend.Copy !req
549. You don't get it, Taku.Copy !req
550. I was shocked because
he wasn't like I remembered.Copy !req
551. All he talked about was himself.Copy !req
552. He didn't even ask about Kochi.
But that's his real personality.Copy !req
553. I just never noticed.Copy !req
554. I'll stay at my aunt's tonight.Copy !req
555. We shouldn't stay
in the same room anyway.Copy !req
556. Let's meet at the airport tomorrow.Copy !req
557. Our Tokyo trip
wasn't much fun, was it?Copy !req
558. In halfan hour,
Rikako seemed to have grown up.Copy !req
559. Yumi, what's this?Copy !req
560. Do you want one?Copy !req
561. After the holidays,
Rikako ignored me...Copy !req
562. just as ifnothing had happened.Copy !req
563. As usual, her only friend
was Yumi Kohama.Copy !req
564. Don't get me wrong.
I'm not worried about you...Copy !req
565. but you're going to end up
without any friends.Copy !req
566. Try to be a little more...Copy !req
567. Leave me alone!Copy !req
568. How were your finals?Copy !req
569. Awful. I'm going to cram school
in Osaka this summer.Copy !req
570. Training camp, huh?Copy !req
571. It'll be a nice change.Copy !req
572. Listen...Copy !req
573. Don't be upset, but...Copy !req
574. did you and Rikako
take a trip during vacation?Copy !req
575. Yeah, we did.
How did you know?Copy !req
576. How do you think?
The rumor's all over school.Copy !req
577. Haven't you heard?Copy !req
578. No, I haven't.Copy !req
579. That's just like you.Copy !req
580. Nobody wants to joke about it
to your face.Copy !req
581. People are whispering.Copy !req
582. Listen, I don't know
what people are saying.Copy !req
583. Rikako just went
to see her father.Copy !req
584. Yeah, I heard.Copy !req
585. From who?
Did Yumi tell you?Copy !req
586. Yumi? Why her?
I heard it straight from Rikako.Copy !req
587. I ran into her at the library
and asked her.Copy !req
588. What, that story again?Copy !req
589. Yes, I stayed with Taku
in a Tokyo hotel!Copy !req
590. What's that got to do with you?Copy !req
591. I'm...Copy !req
592. I'm in love with you.Copy !req
593. Look...Copy !req
594. I hate Kochi, and boys
who speak Kochi dialect!Copy !req
595. Don't say that to me!
It makes me sick!Copy !req
596. "Sick", huh?Copy !req
597. Yeah. It was kind of tough.Copy !req
598. Is that what did your grades in?Copy !req
599. I'll get back on track
over summer.Copy !req
600. Now she's gone too far!Copy !req
601. Taku!Copy !req
602. Red or white?Copy !req
603. Red!Copy !req
604. We need to talk.
Come with me.Copy !req
605. What?Copy !req
606. What's the problem?Copy !req
607. Don't talk to me in school!
People will notice.Copy !req
608. You told Yutaka
we stayed in a hotel in Tokyo?Copy !req
609. So what?Copy !req
610. It was all your idea!
But people are pointing at me!Copy !req
611. Why, you...!Copy !req
612. I'm suffering thanks to you.
You're the worst, you really are.Copy !req
613. You're such a loyal friend!
Satisfied?Copy !req
614. That trip to Tokyo...Copy !req
615. really was a total disaster
for both of us.Copy !req
616. And so autumn came.Copy !req
617. Rikako was as isolated as ever.Copy !req
618. But her grades
just got better and better.Copy !req
619. Then, during the last event of
senior year - the school fair...Copy !req
620. Sanuki udon noodles!Copy !req
621. She didn't come today either!Copy !req
622. Probably won't come
to the dance performance.Copy !req
623. She missed all the rehearsals.Copy !req
624. Probably thinks it's stupid!Copy !req
625. She cuts group events to raise
her grades! Can you believe it?Copy !req
626. Let's tell her off!Copy !req
627. How about tomorrow?Copy !req
628. Excuse me...Copy !req
629. Welcome!Copy !req
630. "Announcement from
the Organizing Committee."Copy !req
631. "Today's final program
is Dance Paradise."Copy !req
632. "Classes finished with clean-up
should assemble in the courtyard."Copy !req
633. "I repeat. Classes finished
with clean-up should assemble..."Copy !req
634. Is that all?
I'm in a hurry!Copy !req
635. What? What did you say?Copy !req
636. In a hurry? Don't you care
about class harmony?Copy !req
637. Class harmony?
You sound like some stupid politician!Copy !req
638. You're wrapped up in yourself.
What about the rest of the world?Copy !req
639. What kind of world is it where people
can't think of themselves?Copy !req
640. Does the world care about me?
I'll take care of myself!Copy !req
641. You pretend you're not interested in boys,
but I see you flirting!Copy !req
642. Making eyes at Yanagida!Copy !req
643. Yanagida?Copy !req
644. Who? I don't even know who he is!Copy !req
645. Bring him here!
I'll tell him I hate him!Copy !req
646. Stop it!Copy !req
647. You'll just hurt your school record.Copy !req
648. No point crying
because of someone like this.Copy !req
649. We won't forget this!Copy !req
650. I think I expected
too much from you.Copy !req
651. Taku! How long
have you been there?Copy !req
652. I'm just throwing this out.
I heard voices.Copy !req
653. Good for you.
You stood up to all those girls.Copy !req
654. Even made one of them cry.Copy !req
655. It was really impressive.Copy !req
656. You idiot! You're the worst!Copy !req
657. Hey!Copy !req
658. Rikako just ran by.
I think she was crying.Copy !req
659. Oh, she just got scolded
by the girls in our class.Copy !req
660. She cut all the activities.Copy !req
661. But she really stood up to them.
They couldn't touch her.Copy !req
662. That Rikako, she's tough.
It was really something.Copy !req
663. You didn't stop them?Copy !req
664. They'd have just told me
to butt out. They're fed up.Copy !req
665. She can be a real pain.Copy !req
666. You idiot!Copy !req
667. I figured Yutaka and I would
be back to normal the next day.Copy !req
668. At least, that's what I thought.Copy !req
669. But we graduated
without speaking again.Copy !req
670. Rikako enrolled at Kochi University,
Yutaka went to Kyoto...Copy !req
671. and I went
to college in Tokyo.Copy !req
672. "We have just landed at KochiAirport."Copy !req
673. Hey, Taku!Copy !req
674. Yutaka!Copy !req
675. Thanks for picking me up.Copy !req
676. Sure. I got my license
last month.Copy !req
677. I'm impressed you found the time
to take lessons.Copy !req
678. Took me a month
to get used to Tokyo.Copy !req
679. Another month for college,
and another for my job.Copy !req
680. Before I knew it, summer came.Copy !req
681. Tokyo and Kyoto are really different.Copy !req
682. Kyoto's almost like Kochi.
I settled in right away.Copy !req
683. But Kochi's nice.
It's not crowded.Copy !req
684. And everything you need
is right at hand.Copy !req
685. Tokyo's got everything, but
it takes an hour to get anywhere.Copy !req
686. Even Katsura Beach is
only an hour from here.Copy !req
687. Jingu Stadium's an hour,
with train transfers.Copy !req
688. An hour from Kyoto...Copy !req
689. you can get to Osaka or Nara.Copy !req
690. Gosh, sounds like Kyoto's better.Copy !req
691. Want to come in?Copy !req
692. I'll pass for today.
Your family must be waiting.Copy !req
693. See you at the reunion?Copy !req
694. I always wanted to apologize.
Sorry I punched you.Copy !req
695. Ah, so that explains
the free ride from the airport!Copy !req
696. I'll call you.Copy !req
697. Want to take a walk?Copy !req
698. It's been a while.Copy !req
699. I was angry that time...Copy !req
700. because I knew you were
holding back on my account.Copy !req
701. I hadn't noticed 'til then...Copy !req
702. that you really liked Rikako.Copy !req
703. Yutaka and I spent an hour
there - then we went home.Copy !req
704. Private PartyCopy !req
705. You're living in Osaka?
I'm close - Kobe!Copy !req
706. Have a drink!Copy !req
707. Thank you.Copy !req
708. It's ridiculous!
I can't even resign from a club...Copy !req
709. unless the alumni approve.Copy !req
710. So, I went
to Disneyland with him.Copy !req
711. We missed the last train.Copy !req
712. What happened?Copy !req
713. I thought I was joining a ski club,
not a religious group!Copy !req
714. They keep telephoning me.
It's driving me nuts!Copy !req
715. Better watch the drinking, Yamao.Copy !req
716. She's late...Copy !req
717. Late? Who?Copy !req
718. She's late...Copy !req
719. Scoot over more!Copy !req
720. What's happening?Copy !req
721. Yamamoto just confessed.Copy !req
722. He always liked Nishimura!Copy !req
723. Good for him.Copy !req
724. We've got a new couple!Copy !req
725. Time for me to confess too!Copy !req
726. I've always had a thing
for Yumi Kohama!Copy !req
727. Well done, Yamao.
That's the spirit.Copy !req
728. What did Yumi say?Copy !req
729. She's not here yet!Copy !req
730. From the start, she was always
in that flashy Rikako's shadow.Copy !req
731. While you were mooning over Rikako,
I had my eye on Yumi.Copy !req
732. What's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
733. Come on, now.
Shall we go to men's room?Copy !req
734. Hey, Yamao! Are you OK?Copy !req
735. Maybe Rikako's not coming after all.Copy !req
736. Rikako said she regrets
the things she said to you.Copy !req
737. Well, he's passed out.Copy !req
738. You're really looking good, Shimizu.Copy !req
739. Thanks.Copy !req
740. Of course, Rikako was always pretty,
but she's even prettier now.Copy !req
741. Shimizu told me she saw Rikako.Copy !req
742. Rikako's not here!Copy !req
743. I ran into her yesterday,
in the department store.Copy !req
744. I told her about the reunion...Copy !req
745. but she's probably flown home.Copy !req
746. Flown?Copy !req
747. Rikako went back to Tokyo?Copy !req
748. Yeah. I'd always thought
she was in Kochi U.Copy !req
749. She got into Kochi U
to please her mother.Copy !req
750. But she secretly
tested for a Tokyo school too.Copy !req
751. When you met her,
were you, like...Copy !req
752. "Wow, it's great to see you."
and stuff like that?Copy !req
753. How'd you know?Copy !req
754. Well, I knew
you never liked her!Copy !req
755. You're right, I never did.
I really hated her.Copy !req
756. But seeing her again
made me feel nostalgic.Copy !req
757. It's kind of like changing seats.Copy !req
758. When you're little and have to sit
next to someone you hate...Copy !req
759. you don't even
want to go to school.Copy !req
760. The problem is,
your world is too small.Copy !req
761. If you have something other than
school, like piano lessons...Copy !req
762. people you dislike
aren't a problem.Copy !req
763. Let's see. That means...Copy !req
764. you realize your world
was too small then?Copy !req
765. And that's why
you went after Rikako?Copy !req
766. We both had the same problem.Copy !req
767. Rikako said her world
was really small, too.Copy !req
768. Yumi!Copy !req
769. Hey, Yumi!Copy !req
770. Yumi?Copy !req
771. Huh?Copy !req
772. Yu... Yumi...?Copy !req
773. Yumi!Copy !req
774. Come on, Yamao!Copy !req
775. Take it easy!Copy !req
776. Yumi!Copy !req
777. Hey! Come on!Copy !req
778. Yoo-hoo!Copy !req
779. What? You saw Rikako too?Copy !req
780. Yes. I wish Rikako had come.Copy !req
781. It felt like she was there.Copy !req
782. Me too.Copy !req
783. That reminds me...Copy !req
784. she said there's someone
in Tokyo she wants to see.Copy !req
785. But she didn't say who.Copy !req
786. It's someone who likes
to sleep in bathtubs!Copy !req
787. I'd forgotten
just how pretty it was.Copy !req
788. The castle!Copy !req
789. I always thought
lighting up Kochi Castle...Copy !req
790. was a waste of electricity.Copy !req
791. But with Rikako next to me,
it would have been beautiful.Copy !req
792. There were so many things
I wanted to talk to her about.Copy !req
793. I wanted us to see the castle
together, like this.Copy !req
794. Taku! Could you
lend me some money?Copy !req
795. You sound like
one of the teachers!Copy !req
796. Are you a goody-goody?Copy !req
797. I heard you were different.Copy !req
798. I said not to tell!
You already told Yutaka!Copy !req
799. You're awfully chatty for a boy!Copy !req
800. My periodjust started.
Sometimes it's really bad.Copy !req
801. When I see Papa,
I'm going to tell him.Copy !req
802. I want to move back to Tokyo
and live with him.Copy !req
803. I'm staying here tonight.
Papa's paying, so I can if I want.Copy !req
804. My room was completely changed!
The wallpaper's dark green!Copy !req
805. I was on Papa's side.
But he wasn't on my side.Copy !req
806. My life is so sad.
We're bores - he and I both.Copy !req
807. Our Tokyo trip
wasn't much fun, was it?Copy !req
808. You're such a loyal friend!
Satisfied?Copy !req
809. You idiot! You're the worst!Copy !req
810. There's someone in Tokyo
I want to see.Copy !req
811. It's a guy who
likes to sleep in the bathtubs!Copy !req
812. And that's when I knew -Copy !req
813. I'd always been crazy about her.Copy !req
