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