Can I use it?Copy !req
17. I'm printing right now.Copy !req

a portable word processor after all.Copy !req
19. This smoke stinks.Copy !req
20. You should have gone
to Kashirazaki, too, Shizuku.Copy !req
21. It's okay,
I can't keep up with Sis.Copy !req
22. Oh yeah, I've gotta
go to work tomorrow.Copy !req

with this composition.Copy !req
31. What? Where?Copy !req
32. Did you leave out a line, maybe?Copy !req
33. Oh, darn!
You're right!Copy !req
34. Oh, I have to borrow this again,Copy !req

38. Shizuku, books are fine,
but you should go to sleep.Copy !req
39. Okay.
Good night.Copy !req
40. I knew it.Copy !req
41. I thought
I remembered seeing this name...Copy !req
42. And here, too.Copy !req
43. Amasawa SeijiCopy !req
44. This guy's amazing.Copy !req
45. He borrowed all of
them before I did.Copy !req
46. Amasawa Seiji...Copy !req
47. What kind of
person is he?Copy !req
48. I wonder if he's cool or not?Copy !req
49. Amasawa SeijiCopy !req
50. Shizuku, will you get up?Copy !req
51. I'm going out now!Copy !req
52. Oh, geez.

59. Yeah!Copy !req
60. That's strange.Copy !req
61. Is it next
to the phone?Copy !req
62. Here it is!Copy !req
63. You're the one
who put it there.Copy !req
64. Oh, I'm gonna be late!Copy !req
65. Remember to lock up!Copy !req
66. What a ditz.Copy !req
67. Boy, are they flying low!Copy !req
68. Something great's
gonna happen today!Copy !req
69. Wow, it's hot.Copy !req
70. Yoo-hoo!
How's it goin'?Copy !req
71. C'mon, let's do it!Copy !req
72. Hey, Shizuku!Copy !req
73. Hey!
Go for it!Copy !req
74. Miss Kousaka, are you in?Copy !req
75. Oh, it's you, Tsukishima.
What's up?Copy !req
76. Can I please ask a favor?Copy !req
77. What kind?
I hope it's nothing strange.Copy !req
78. Can you open the
library, please?Copy !req
79. The library?Copy !req
80. Can't you wait until
they open normally?Copy !req
81. But I've already
read all my books.Copy !req
82. And the county
library's closed today.Copy !req
83. I've decided to read
twenty books during vacation.Copy !req
84. Twenty books?Copy !req
85. But you're supposed to be
studying for your exams.Copy !req
86. C'mon, hurry it up.Copy !req

90. Get out your reading card
and your library card.Copy !req
91. Here you go.Copy !req
92. Hey, look at this.Copy !req
93. No one's ever checked this out.Copy !req
94. This is a rare book.Copy !req
95. They don't have it
at the county library.Copy !req
96. DonatedCopy !req
97. Amasawa...Copy !req
98. Teach!Copy !req
99. Any idea what this "Amasawa"
person is like?Copy !req
100. Geez, now I messed up.Copy !req
101. Probably the donor of the book.Copy !req
102. I wouldn't know about
something that old.Copy !req
103. Try asking our
veteran teachers.Copy !req
104. Shizuku!Copy !req
105. Oh, geez!
So this is where you are!Copy !req
106. After you said you'd be
at the entrance at eleven!Copy !req
107. You made me wait in the
sun for fifteen minutes!Copy !req
108. Now I'll get
even more freckles!Copy !req
109. I... I'm sorry.Copy !req
110. Hey, hey!
Not so loud.Copy !req
111. You worry too much
about your freckles, Harada.Copy !req
112. Teach, this is a
serious problem for me!Copy !req
113. Oh, right! Right!Copy !req
114. C'mon, you two.
Out, out!Copy !req
115. That way, that way!Copy !req
116. I did what I could,
but it's not that great.Copy !req
117. Think I should have
kept it in English?Copy !req
118. Over the green hills,
white clouds drift so slow.Copy !req
119. Near to the road that goes up to the city.Copy !req
120. Inside the old room,
by the small window.Copy !req
121. The old dog waits for him
to come back soon.Copy !req
122. Country Road,
take me home, too.Copy !req
123. On this distant road,
whose end I can't see.Copy !req
124. West Virginia,
Mountain Mamma.Copy !req
125. To my home town,
I long to see.Copy !req
126. This isn't bad.Copy !req
127. It sucks!
Too conventional.Copy !req
128. You think so?Copy !req
129. I did this one, too.Copy !req
130. Concrete road, wherever you go.Copy !req
131. Forests give rise to valleys far away.Copy !req
132. Western Tokyo,Copy !req
133. on Mount Tama.Copy !req
134. My home lies on Concrete Road.Copy !req
135. What is this?Copy !req
136. So, what'd you want to talk about?Copy !req
137. You don't need any
poems translated, right?Copy !req
138. No...Copy !req
139. Shizuku, is there
anyone you like?Copy !req
140. Huh?Copy !req
141. I just wish it was a mutual attraction.Copy !req
142. It's exam time, and we could work together
and cheer each other up.Copy !req
143. So there's someone
you like, Yuuko?Copy !req
144. You already got
a love letter?Copy !req
145. Not so loud!Copy !req
146. When? How is he?
Is he cute?Copy !req
147. He's from a different class...Copy !req
148. And he's kind of cute...Copy !req
149. Why don't you go
out with him?Copy !req
150. You can stop if
you don't like him.Copy !req
151. Yeah, but...Copy !req
152. So there's someone
else you like?Copy !req
153. There's no use hiding it!Copy !req
154. C'mon!
Might as well 'fess up!Copy !req
155. Umm... it's Su... Su...Copy !req
156. TSUKISHIMA!Copy !req
157. Can you get
my bag for me?Copy !req
158. Sugimura!Copy !req
159. Yeah! That blue sports
bag over there!Copy !req
160. Aww, c'mon, Tsukishima!Copy !req
161. Just throw it here!Copy !req
162. Oh, shut up!Copy !req
163. You don't even play that well!Copy !req
164. That's mean!
I won three games as a regular!Copy !req
165. Yuuko?Copy !req
166. So Sugimura's the one
that you like, huh?Copy !req
167. What should I do?
He might have found out.Copy !req
168. I was so...Copy !req
169. Oh, don't worry.
He's too stupid to know.Copy !req
170. What'll you do about
the love letters you got?Copy !req
171. Well...Copy !req
172. I have to think
a little longer.Copy !req
173. I see.Copy !req
174. You're lucky.Copy !req
175. They don't keep telling you
to "Study, study!" at your house.Copy !req
176. It's kind of rough when
they don't do that, too.Copy !req
177. I don't know.Copy !req
178. - Oops. Oh, no!
- What's the matter?Copy !req
179. I forgot my book!Copy !req
180. I have to go back!Copy !req
181. Want a ride back?Copy !req
182. Nope!Copy !req
183. You'll be late
for your cram session!Copy !req
184. - I'll call you later.
- Sure!Copy !req
185. T... that book is...Copy !req
186. Oh. Is this yours?Copy !req
187. Here you go...
Tsukishima Shizuku.Copy !req
188. How'd you know my name?Copy !req
189. Gee, I wonder how?Copy !req
190. My library card.Copy !req
191. You know, you should drop that
"Concrete Road" thing.Copy !req
192. YOU READ IT!Copy !req
193. That jerk!
That jerk! That jerk!Copy !req
194. That jerk!
That jerk! That jerk!Copy !req
195. THAT JERK!Copy !req
196. You should drop that
Concrete Road thing...Copy !req
197. Yeah, right!Copy !req
198. I'm back!Copy !req
199. Sis, you were
due back today?Copy !req
200. I'm beat.Copy !req
201. I was lucky to find someone
driving this way and got a ride.Copy !req
202. Where's Mom?Copy !req
203. She's still at
her summer class.Copy !req
204. And Dad's at work.Copy !req
205. Shizuku, you should
clean up a little.Copy !req
206. Did you make supper yet?Copy !req
207. I was just going to...Copy !req
208. What is this?
Shizuku, this place is a mess!Copy !req
209. I'll go do it now.Copy !req
210. Didn't we decide to help Mom
because she's so busy?Copy !req
211. Put away the laundry when
you're done with the rice.Copy !req
212. And I'll make
dinner after I shower.Copy !req
213. Grandma says to come on over
when you're in high school.Copy !req
214. Doing better with your studies?Copy !req
215. If you slack off just cause
Mom and Dad don't push you...Copy !req
216. you'll really pay for it.Copy !req
217. I know!Copy !req
218. And she tried to give
me some of her soy sauce.Copy !req
219. That's so like Grandma.Copy !req
220. Shizuku, will you
get up already?Copy !req
221. And do your own vacuuming.Copy !req
222. I'm cleaning bedsheets,
so bring yours!Copy !req
223. And put out the futons!Copy !req
224. Where's Mom?Copy !req
225. She's already gone.Copy !req
226. Hurry and clean up,
then take this lunch to Dad.Copy !req
227. What?Copy !req
228. What's your problem?Copy !req
229. You're going to
the library, right?Copy !req
230. Or should I go instead?Copy !req
231. If so, then you clean the bathtub,
the toilet, and the front entrance.Copy !req
232. And start doing
some real chores.Copy !req
233. Then put away the futons,
go shopping, and make dinner.Copy !req
234. I'll be going!Copy !req
235. Shizuku!Copy !req
236. Take this to the mailbox!Copy !req
237. What?Copy !req
238. The mailbox!Copy !req
239. Don't you dare look!Copy !req
240. Don't forget to
take off the clip!Copy !req
241. Your boyfriend?Copy !req
242. Dummy.Copy !req
243. Hey, Kitty Cat.
On your own?Copy !req
244. Where are you going?Copy !req
245. Something neat outside?Copy !req
246. Hey!
Answer me, will you?Copy !req
247. I'm getting off here.
How 'bout you?Copy !req
248. See ya, Kitty Cat.Copy !req
249. Oh, a kitty!Copy !req
250. Suginomiya StationCopy !req
251. He's heading
towards the library!Copy !req
252. Darn, this would've made
such a great story.Copy !req
253. There he is!Copy !req
254. Authorized
Personnel OnlyCopy !req
255. Authorized
Personnel OnlyCopy !req
256. What a steep hill!Copy !req
257. Just how far
does this go?Copy !req
258. Kitty Cat.Copy !req
259. Kitty Cat.Copy !req
260. I wonder if he
lives around here?Copy !req
261. Where're you going, Kitty Cat?Copy !req
262. Do you live around here?Copy !req
263. I had no idea there was
a place like this up here.Copy !req
264. What a mean cat.Copy !req
265. His walks include
teasing the dog.Copy !req
266. I wonder if he's
teasing me, too?Copy !req
267. I had no idea there were
stores like this here.Copy !req
268. What a wonderful figurine.Copy !req
269. Are you the cat
I saw earlier?Copy !req
270. Oh, welcome!Copy !req
271. I, umm...Copy !req
272. No, stay right there,
stay right there.Copy !req
273. Feel free to look around.Copy !req
274. The Baron's bored, too.Copy !req
275. Is "Baron" the name
of this figurine?Copy !req
276. Yup.Copy !req
277. He's Baron Vunbert von Jiekingen.Copy !req
278. Great name,
don't you think?Copy !req
279. Oh, thanks.Copy !req
280. Thanks.
I'm fine now.Copy !req
281. Magnificent clock, isn't it?Copy !req
282. It was found in a castle.
It was very badly rusted.Copy !req
283. Take a look.Copy !req
284. How pretty.Copy !req
285. What is it?Copy !req
286. You'll find out
when it's done.Copy !req
287. It's really well made.Copy !req
288. Are those dwarves?Copy !req
289. You sure know a lot.Copy !req
290. I see, so you know about dwarves, young lady?Copy !req
291. Now take a look
at the numbers.Copy !req
292. Let's see if this works.Copy !req
293. An elf!Copy !req
294. Can you see alright?Copy !req
295. Step up here.Copy !req
296. Sure.Copy !req
297. A princess?Copy !req
298. That's right.Copy !req
299. These two fell in love?Copy !req
300. Yup, but they live
in different worlds.Copy !req
301. He's the king of the dwarves.Copy !req
302. When the clock strikes twelve,Copy !req
303. she must return past
the flock to her world.Copy !req
304. Even so, he will always appear
at that time and wait for the princess.Copy !req
305. The artisan who made this clockCopy !req
306. probably had an unrequited love.Copy !req
307. So that's why the
two seemed sort of sad.Copy !req
308. Is this clock
running fast?Copy !req
309. Uh, maybe by five minutes.Copy !req
310. Oh, no!Copy !req
311. I gotta get
to the library!Copy !req
312. Goodbye!Copy !req
313. Can I come
visit again, sir?Copy !req
314. Sure!Copy !req
315. If you're going to the library,
you should go left!Copy !req
316. I'm right above
the library!Copy !req
317. I've found a cool place!Copy !req
318. This store's like
right out of a story!Copy !req
319. This is great!Copy !req
320. Tsukishima!Copy !req
321. Tsukishima Shizuku!Copy !req
322. This is yours, right?Copy !req
323. Kinda forgetful,
aren't you?Copy !req
324. Thank you.
But how...?Copy !req
325. Gee, I wonder how?Copy !req
326. The cat!Copy !req
327. Is... is that cat yours?Copy !req
328. You sure eat a
pretty big lunch!Copy !req
329. WRONG!Copy !req
330. Concrete road, wherever you go...Copy !req
331. YOU'RE WRONG!
HEY!Copy !req
332. Oh, you're here already?Copy !req
333. What's with
the scary face?Copy !req
334. It's kinda
hard to explain.Copy !req
335. Huh?Copy !req
336. Something wonderful happened,
like finding a cave of treasures.Copy !req
337. Then one insensitive remark
made it all collapse.Copy !req
338. Sounds complicated.Copy !req
339. Here to borrow
books again today?Copy !req
340. Yeah, I still have to read
seven more books.Copy !req
341. You just never change.Copy !req
342. What about lunch?Copy !req
343. I'll just eat out.Copy !req
344. Oh, really.Copy !req
345. Well, thanks.Copy !req
346. June 16th...Copy !req
347. Amazing...Copy !req
348. That Amasawa guy's
read this book, too.Copy !req
349. What kind of person is he?Copy !req
350. No, it couldn't be you!Copy !req
351. Shizuku, hurry up!Copy !req
352. Oh, we'll be late!Copy !req
353. Umbrella.
The umbrella.Copy !req
354. A new semester,
and it just keeps raining.Copy !req
355. Stop complaining.Copy !req
356. You're studying because
you want to, right?Copy !req
357. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
358. Make sure you study well!Copy !req
359. Just leave it to me.Copy !req
360. Shizuku!Copy !req
361. Hey!Copy !req
362. Hurry up or
you'll be late.Copy !req
363. I hate all these tests.Copy !req
364. We've got so many every day.Copy !req
365. Did you answer "them?"Copy !req
366. No.Copy !req
367. He didn't write any more?Copy !req
368. No.Copy !req
369. Maybe I should
just turn him down.Copy !req
370. Maybe.Copy !req
371. Yeah, maybe that's for the best.Copy !req
372. Sugimura!Copy !req
373. You'll barely make it!Copy !req
374. I know that!Copy !req
375. Time's up!
Hand in your tests.Copy !req
376. Regular schedule this afternoon.Copy !req
377. Shizuku, let's go
see Miss Kousaka.Copy !req
378. Sure. Can we go to
the teacher's lounge first?Copy !req
379. Okay.Copy !req
380. Hey, Tsukishima.
Check this out.Copy !req
381. What is it?Copy !req
382. I was guessing,
but I aced it!Copy !req
383. Oh, such a lucky guy.Copy !req
384. I peeked during break
and saw I got a perfect score.Copy !req
385. Guess you're not just
a stupid baseball player.Copy !req
386. You know, Yuuko's
good at guessing, too.Copy !req
387. Maybe you should study together?Copy !req
388. With Harada?Copy !req
389. Sugimura, Sugimura!Copy !req
390. What's up?Copy !req
391. Did you see this?Copy !req
392. Let's go, Shizuku.Copy !req
393. Stop trying to
get us together!Copy !req
394. Was it obvious?Copy !req
395. I was never
good at guessing!Copy !req
396. Sorry!Copy !req
397. Excuse us.Copy !req
398. The donor of a book?Copy !req
399. And you think I would know?Copy !req
400. Sorry to bother
you during lunch.Copy !req
401. It's this imprint here.Copy !req
402. Let's see...Copy !req
403. Oh, that's Amasawa!Copy !req
404. I've read this, too.
Great book, isn't it?Copy !req
405. Yes, definitely.Copy !req
406. So exactly what kind of
person is this Amasawa?Copy !req
407. It was a few years ago.
He was the head of the PTA.Copy !req
408. The PTA's...Copy !req
409. Um, do you know his first name?Copy !req
410. First name?
Let's see...Copy !req
411. Mr. Kimura...Copy !req
412. remember what
Amasawa's name was?Copy !req
413. You know,
at Amasawa Hospital?Copy !req
414. Amasawa?Copy !req
415. I'm pretty sure it was Kouichi.
Amasawa Kouichi.Copy !req
416. Amasawa Kouichi...Copy !req
417. Tsukishima...Copy !req
418. one of Amasawa's children
is in the same grade as you.Copy !req
419. Didn't you know that?Copy !req
420. Wha...?Copy !req
421. I, uh...Copy !req
422. Thank you very much!Copy !req
423. Sorry to bother you.Copy !req
424. Sorry about that.Copy !req
425. Shizuku, where're
you going!Copy !req
426. What a surprise!Copy !req
427. I'm the one who
should be surprised!Copy !req
428. I think you owe me
an explanation for this.Copy !req
429. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
430. Which way are
you going, Shizuku?Copy !req
431. What nerve!Copy !req
432. Acting like he didn't even see me!Copy !req
433. Who was that, Shizuku?Copy !req
434. Where're you going?Copy !req
435. That guy's a jerk!Copy !req
436. But I won't run from him, either!Copy !req
437. Oh, how cute!Copy !req
438. I had to walk and carry
Shizuku's lunch for her!Copy !req
439. Tsukishima noticed boys, huh?Copy !req
440. Hey, Teach, I think spring
has finally arrived for Shizuku, too!Copy !req
441. I told you
that isn't it!Copy !req
442. You actually met the
Prince of Books, then, right?Copy !req
443. Is he handsome?Copy !req
444. Look, I just wondered what kind of person he is.Copy !req
445. Hey, Yuuko.Copy !req
446. You know the guy's name, right?
So tell us.Copy !req
447. Yuuko!Copy !req
448. Well, it was just
a brief mention.Copy !req
449. I think it started with
"Ma" something, or Masagi whatever?Copy !req
450. Ama...Copy !req
451. Well, Shizuku?Copy !req
452. Who knows?Copy !req
453. That's just like Tsukishima to leave
without hearing the whole story.Copy !req
454. She wants to know
but she doesn't want to know, right?Copy !req
455. The hopeful heart suffers so...
Isn't it great?Copy !req
456. Well, it's romantic, anyway.Copy !req
457. Fine, just go on
and tease me like that.Copy !req
458. And after I wrote the verses
for Country Road and all.Copy !req
459. - You finished?
- Let's see! Let's see!Copy !req
460. O Great Shizuku!
Mistress of verse!Copy !req
461. We promise to behave,
so please show us!Copy !req
462. Very well.Copy !req
463. Actually, I'm
not too confident.Copy !req
464. I'm still not too sure
what "country home" means.Copy !req
465. So I just had to go
with what I felt on that.Copy !req
466. You outdid yourself.Copy !req
467. Country road.
It'll take me...Copy !req
468. back to my home town.Copy !req
469. I can feel it now,
if I just keep to...Copy !req
470. this far-off way, country road.Copy !req
471. It's great, Shizuku.Copy !req
472. I like it.Copy !req
473. It's not too hard to sing?Copy !req
474. I think we can manage.Copy !req
475. It'd be wasted if we gave it
to the underclassmen.Copy !req
476. We should sing this at
the thank you party, too.Copy !req
477. What?
The thank you party?Copy !req
478. Impulsive, aren't you?Copy !req
479. This part's good.Copy !req
480. Living here all on my own.Copy !req
481. Owning no possessions,
I made my way out of town.Copy !req
482. I must put my loneliness away...Copy !req
483. and protect myself,
and I'll learn to be strong...Copy !req
484. All of you,
school bell's ringing.Copy !req
485. Yes, ma'am!Copy !req
486. The sky's clear!
It's clear!Copy !req
487. Shizuku!Copy !req
488. You wanna go
to the choir?Copy !req
489. We'll show them this song.Copy !req
490. It's okay, I have
to go to the library.Copy !req
491. Huh? We've got
tests tomorrow, you know.Copy !req
492. I'll study
at the library.Copy !req
493. You really like it there!Copy !req
494. See ya!Copy !req
495. Bye-bye!Copy !req
496. Harada...Copy !req
497. Listen, I'm sorry,
but can I talk to you?Copy !req
498. Uh-huh.Copy !req
499. I guess they're closed.Copy !req
500. Have the flowers
been watered?Copy !req
501. The Baron's gone!Copy !req
502. I wonder if
he was sold?Copy !req
503. World Emporium; Nishi Shiro, Prop.Copy !req
504. Atelier Chikyuu-ya
Nishi ShirouCopy !req
505. Nishi Shirou...Copy !req
506. I wonder if he's
named Nishi, too?Copy !req
507. Shizuku!Copy !req
508. Shizuku!Copy !req
509. You've got a
call from Yuuko!Copy !req
510. You'll ruin your ears, Shizuku.Copy !req
511. Yuuko?Copy !req
512. What? I can't hear you.Copy !req
513. Right. I'll be right there.Copy !req
514. Right.Copy !req
515. Okay, bye.Copy !req
516. - Where're you going?
- Not too far.Copy !req
517. What's wrong, Yuuko?Copy !req
518. Shizuku...Copy !req
519. What's wrong?Copy !req
520. What's with that look?Copy !req
521. What should I do, Shizuku?Copy !req
522. Sugimura's friend asked him
to get an answer from me.Copy !req
523. Oh, boy...Copy !req
524. Why do you have
to be the go-between?Copy !req
525. Hey!Copy !req
526. He's just kinda stupid.Copy !req
527. And besides, Sugimura probably
doesn't know how you really feel.Copy !req
528. I'll apologize to Sugimura.Copy !req
529. But I can't go to school looking like this.Copy !req
530. I'm skipping school tomorrow.Copy !req
531. The test, too?Copy !req
532. Yes.Copy !req
533. I see.Copy !req
534. Idiot.Copy !req
535. What the hell?Copy !req
536. I think I did pretty well.Copy !req
537. Shizuku, library again today?Copy !req
538. I'm going to Yuuko's
place to see her.Copy !req
539. Oh, say hi to her for us.Copy !req
540. - Okay. Bye-bye!
- Bye-bye!Copy !req
541. Tsukishima!Copy !req
542. Hold up!Copy !req
543. Look, it's about Harada...Copy !req
544. and then she
suddenly started to cry.Copy !req
545. So, did I say
something wrong or what?Copy !req
546. Sugimura...Copy !req
547. didn't Yuuko ask you
why you did that?Copy !req
548. Yeah. Like I said, my
friend on the team asked me...Copy !req
549. Wrong!Copy !req
550. She meant she really
didn't want you to do that.Copy !req
551. You understand
what that means?Copy !req
552. I don't!Copy !req
553. Spell it out for me!Copy !req
554. Geez, you really are stupid!Copy !req
555. It means Yuuko's
in love with you!Copy !req
556. Huh?Copy !req
557. But, then...Copy !req
558. Man, that's a problem.Copy !req
559. A problem...!Copy !req
560. Poor Yuuko's the one
with the problem!Copy !req
561. She stayed home
because of the shock!Copy !req
562. B... but, I...Copy !req
563. I'm in love with you!Copy !req
564. Eh?Copy !req
565. O... oh, no. You shouldn't joke
around like that!Copy !req
566. I'm not joking!Copy !req
567. I've been in love with
you for a long time!Copy !req
568. You can't!
I mean...Copy !req
569. I... well... but...Copy !req
570. Do you hate me?Copy !req
571. Are you going
out with someone?Copy !req
572. I'm not going
out with anybody...Copy !req
573. B... but...Copy !req
574. I'm sorry!Copy !req
575. Wait!Copy !req
576. Tsukishima, you have to tell me!Copy !req
577. We've always been friends,
so I do like you, Sugimura.Copy !req
578. But when you
mean in that way...Copy !req
579. I'm sorry.
I can't say this right...Copy !req
580. You mean we're just friends?Copy !req
581. Even after this?Copy !req
582. I see.Copy !req
583. Dummy!Copy !req
584. The only stupid
one was yourself!Copy !req
585. Just a minute, Tsukishima.
You got a package.Copy !req
586. Oh, thanks so much again.Copy !req
587. You're so nice,
always giving us stuff.Copy !req
588. Oh, don't worry,
we can't eat it all anyway.Copy !req
589. Oh, you're home?Copy !req
590. Shizuku?Copy !req
591. Yoo-hoo.Copy !req
592. Did you get
locked out, too?Copy !req
593. Is this house your home?Copy !req
594. Are you hungry?Copy !req
595. Well, you're
not cute, either.Copy !req
596. Just like me.Copy !req
597. Why did I have to change?Copy !req
598. I used to be such a nice
and honest kid before.Copy !req
599. Even when I'm reading a book,
I don't feel the excitement I used to.Copy !req
600. Now it's like someone whispering in my heart,Copy !req
601. saying that I can't go on like this.Copy !req
602. I'm not cute at all.Copy !req
603. Hey, it's Tsukishima.Copy !req
604. I'm surprised Moon
lets you pet him.Copy !req
605. Hey, Moon, aren't
you here to visit?Copy !req
606. Is the cat's name Moon?Copy !req
607. Yeah. Doesn't he look
like a full moon?Copy !req
608. That's why I call him Moon.Copy !req
609. You mean Moon
isn't your cat?Copy !req
610. You can't tell
cats what to do.Copy !req
611. I think he's called
"Egg" at another house.Copy !req
612. He probably has other names.Copy !req
613. So he's a stray, then.Copy !req
614. That's right!Copy !req
615. Moon commutes by
taking the train.Copy !req
616. The train?Copy !req
617. That's right.
He was riding the train by himself.Copy !req
618. I followed him
and came here.Copy !req
619. And then here's
this wonderful store.Copy !req
620. It's like a fairy
tale inside the store.Copy !req
621. I said some bad
things about him.Copy !req
622. I told him he wasn't cute,Copy !req
623. and that he was just like me.Copy !req
624. Moon is like you?
You don't look alike at all!Copy !req
625. T... that cat must
be at least half ghost.Copy !req
626. - Uh...
- And you...Copy !req
627. Is the store owner okay?Copy !req
628. I was wondering, since
the store's been closed for a while.Copy !req
629. Oh, he's just fine.Copy !req
630. This store's kind of strange;Copy !req
631. it's closed more often than not.Copy !req
632. Oh, that's good to know.Copy !req
633. I peeked through the window,
but I couldn't see the Baron.Copy !req
634. I thought he was sold.Copy !req
635. Oh, the cat figurine?Copy !req
636. Wanna see?
Come on.Copy !req
637. Close the door.Copy !req
638. It's like we're
floating up here.Copy !req
639. Are you scared of heights?Copy !req
640. No, I like high places.Copy !req
641. It's beautiful...Copy !req
642. The view is nicest
around this time.Copy !req
643. Over here.Copy !req
644. That's good.Copy !req
645. Sit over there.Copy !req
646. The clock's gone!Copy !req
647. Oh, the one that was there?Copy !req
648. It was delivered today.Copy !req
649. Come over here.Copy !req
650. Did it get sold?Copy !req
651. It was only
here for repairs.Copy !req
652. I see.
I wanted to see it again.Copy !req
653. It took three years.Copy !req
654. It was finished the day
you left your lunch here.Copy !req
655. Oh, that lunch...Copy !req
656. Yeah, I know
it wasn't yours.Copy !req
657. Now come here and take
a look at the cat's eye.Copy !req
658. Hurry up.
The light's starting to fade.Copy !req
659. "Engels Zimmer."Copy !req
660. That's German
for "Angel's Room."Copy !req
661. The artisan accidentally scratched it
when he was sewing up the clothes.Copy !req
662. It's so pretty.Copy !req
663. The Baron won't be sold.
It's Grandpa's treasure.Copy !req
664. His treasure?Copy !req
665. It seems to hold some sort
of fond memories for him.Copy !req
666. Only he won't say what.Copy !req
667. Look at it for as long as you want.
I'll be downstairs.Copy !req
668. The light switch is over there.Copy !req
669. Turn it on if you want.Copy !req
670. Strange.Copy !req
671. It's as if
I've always known you.Copy !req
672. I kept wanting to see you
every once in a while.Copy !req
673. You seem so very sad today.Copy !req
674. Oh, are you done?Copy !req
675. Yeah, thanks.Copy !req
676. Uh, are you
making a violin?Copy !req
677. Y... yeah.Copy !req
678. Can I see?Copy !req
679. Sure.Copy !req
680. It'll look like this.Copy !req
681. Did you make
this all by hand?Copy !req
682. Of course.Copy !req
683. I can't believe it!Copy !req
684. They perfected the violin's design
three hundred years ago.Copy !req
685. The quality of its sound is determined
by the skill of the maker.Copy !req
686. Did you make all those, too?Copy !req
687. 'Course not!Copy !req
688. We hold violin
making classes here.Copy !req
689. But you made one
of them, didn't you?Copy !req
690. Yeah.Copy !req
691. Which one is it?Copy !req
692. That one.Copy !req
693. Wow!
This one?Copy !req
694. It's amazing that
you could make this.Copy !req
695. It's like magic.Copy !req
696. Geez, you sure know
how to embarrass a guy.Copy !req
697. What's wrong with that?Copy !req
698. It's only what I think.Copy !req
699. Anybody can make
something like that.Copy !req
700. I'm still not very good.Copy !req
701. So, can you
play the violin?Copy !req
702. Sort of.Copy !req
703. Will you play for me?
Just a little bit?Copy !req
704. Oh, c'mon!Copy !req
705. Please! Please!Copy !req
706. Pretty please!Copy !req
707. Fine, but you have to sing!Copy !req
708. What? F... forget it!
I can't sing!Copy !req
709. That's perfect, then.Copy !req
710. Sing. I'm sure you
know this song.Copy !req
711. ? No one is with me. ?Copy !req
712. ? Going fearlessly. ?Copy !req
713. ? That's the way I live
in the dream I saw. ?Copy !req
714. ? I must put my loneliness away... ?Copy !req
715. ? and protect myself
and I'll learn to be strong... ?Copy !req
716. ? Country road, it'll take me... ?Copy !req
717. ? back to my home town. ?Copy !req
718. ? I can feel it now, if I just keep to... ?Copy !req
719. ? this far-off way, country road. ?Copy !req
720. ? It won't matter how lonely the times get. ?Copy !req
721. ? You'll never see me cry,
I'll keep my tears at bay. ?Copy !req
722. ? I know I must take heart,Copy !req
723. ? and that hurrying is all I can do. ?Copy !req
724. ? Only that way, can I forget. ?Copy !req
725. ? Country road, it may take me... ?Copy !req
726. ? back to my home town,
but even so. ?Copy !req
727. ? Steeling my heart,Copy !req
728. ? I will not go now,Copy !req
729. ? not while I'm free...
country road. ?Copy !req
730. ? Country road, come tomorrow... ?Copy !req
731. ? I'll feel just like always. ?Copy !req
732. ? I want to go home,
but I can't go home. ?Copy !req
733. ? So it's goodbye... ?Copy !req
734. ? country road. ?Copy !req
735. That was great!Copy !req
736. I'm Tsukishima Shizuku.Copy !req
737. Thank you so
much for last time.Copy !req
738. I was hoping to see
you again, young lady.Copy !req
739. These two are my
musician friends.Copy !req
740. Nice vocals.Copy !req
741. So you're the lucky girl
who was hereCopy !req
742. when the clock was finished.Copy !req
743. That's a cute friend
you have there, Seiji.Copy !req
744. Huh? Seiji?Copy !req
745. Does that mean your
name is Amasawa Seiji?Copy !req
746. Yeah.Copy !req
747. Oh, didn't I tell
you my name?Copy !req
748. No, you didn't!Copy !req
749. But the sign
outside says Nishi!Copy !req
750. That's my grandfather's name.Copy !req
751. My name's Amasawa.Copy !req
752. This is terrible!
What a shock!Copy !req
753. My world's collapsing!Copy !req
754. It's like the sky is falling!Copy !req
755. What're you
babbling about?Copy !req
756. It doesn't matter what
my name is, does it?Copy !req
757. Yes, it does!Copy !req
758. You're the one who didn't
give your full name!Copy !req
759. Well, it's your
fault for not asking!Copy !req
760. I never had a
chance to ask you!Copy !req
761. Oh,Copy !req
762. I was so sure
Amasawa Seiji was...Copy !req
763. What?Copy !req
764. I thought you'd be
a nice, quiet guy!Copy !req
765. Well, look at you!
You read too much!Copy !req
766. Yeah? Well, you
read a lot yourself!Copy !req
767. That sure was fun.
Everybody was so nice.Copy !req
768. You should visit again.
Grandpa and the others would love it.Copy !req
769. Maybe only to listen.
Singing's too tough for me.Copy !req
770. But you're really
good with the violin.Copy !req
771. Is that what
you want to do?Copy !req
772. There're tons of people
like me out there.Copy !req
773. And besides,
I want to make violins.Copy !req
774. Really?Copy !req
775. But you play it so well...Copy !req
776. There's a violin crafting
school in Cremona, Italy.Copy !req
777. I want to go there
after junior high.Copy !req
778. You're not going
to high school?Copy !req
779. My family's against it.Copy !req
780. So I'm not sure
yet what I'll do.Copy !req
781. Grandpa is the only one
supporting me on this.Copy !req
782. It's great that you already
know what you want to do.Copy !req
783. Me, I still don't know
what I want to do.Copy !req
784. I'm just living
life day by day.Copy !req
785. Well, I haven't decided
if I'll go yet.Copy !req
786. I argue with
my parents every day.Copy !req
787. Even if I can go,Copy !req
788. I won't know if I have
any talent for itCopy !req
789. without trying first.Copy !req
790. You sure you
don't need a ride?Copy !req
791. Yeah.
It's just over there.Copy !req
792. See you.Copy !req
793. Oh, Tsukishima.Copy !req
794. What is it?Copy !req
795. You know, you have
a talent for lyrics.Copy !req
796. And you sang
pretty well earlier.Copy !req
797. I like your
Concrete Road a lot, too.Copy !req
798. What? After you told
me I should drop it?Copy !req
799. Did I really say that?Copy !req
800. Yes, you did!Copy !req
801. Really?Copy !req
802. Thanks for today.Copy !req
803. Goodbye!Copy !req
804. Shizuku, turn off the lamp.
You left it on last night.Copy !req
805. Hey, Sis. When did you
decide on your career?Copy !req
806. What?Copy !req
807. Your career!Copy !req
808. So you're applying
at Sugino Miya?Copy !req
809. That's not what I said.Copy !req
810. Well, that's what you
go to college for.Copy !req
811. Good night.Copy !req
812. Good night.Copy !req
813. I can't believe Mom didn't wake me up
just because she had the day off!Copy !req
814. Good morning.Copy !req
815. Good morning.Copy !req
816. You should run faster.Copy !req
817. You can go ahead.Copy !req
818. First period, self study.
Do pages 32-33.Copy !req
819. I'm saved...Copy !req
820. Shizuku.
Shizuku.Copy !req
821. What a face!Copy !req
822. Say, you got over
it pretty fast.Copy !req
823. Were you out walking with a guy
from another class last night?Copy !req
824. What?Copy !req
825. Who's been saying that?Copy !req
826. Just a rumor.Copy !req
827. They say you looked
like a couple.Copy !req
828. That's not how it was.Copy !req
829. Harada,Copy !req
830. I should've refused
to do my friend's favor.Copy !req
831. I'm sorry.Copy !req
832. No. I should be the
one to apologize.Copy !req
833. It's okay.Copy !req
834. Hey, did you watch
Sasuke last night?Copy !req
835. It was great!
I was so moved!Copy !req
836. This formula will be on the midterm!Copy !req
837. So remember it well!Copy !req
838. What?
Oh, man!Copy !req
839. That's all!Copy !req
840. Excuse me,
is Tsukishima here?Copy !req
841. Oh, Amasawa.
What's up?Copy !req
842. Tsukishima's in
this class, right?Copy !req
843. Tsukishima?
Yeah, she's here.Copy !req
844. Hey, Tsukishima!
Someone ta see you!Copy !req
845. It's a guy!Copy !req
846. See?
There she is.Copy !req
847. Seiji!Copy !req
848. Tsukishima,
got a minute?Copy !req
849. Y... yes!Copy !req
850. Whoa! Tsukishima's
got a boyfriend!Copy !req
851. Boyfriend! Boyfriend!Copy !req
852. You're wrong!Copy !req
853. That's not it at all!Copy !req
854. Well?
What is it?Copy !req
855. I've decided
to go to Italy.Copy !req
856. Huh?Copy !req
857. Let's go this way.Copy !req
858. Where're we going?Copy !req
859. The roof!Copy !req
860. Look at that.Copy !req
861. How could you call me
with so many people around?Copy !req
862. Sorry.Copy !req
863. I just wanted you to
be the first to know.Copy !req
864. It... it's not like I care
if people get the wrong idea...Copy !req
865. My dad finally gave in.Copy !req
866. But under certain conditions.Copy !req
867. Huh? What?Copy !req
868. Grandpa's friend introduced
me to someone there...Copy !req
869. and I'll be his
apprentice for 2 months.Copy !req
870. Apprentice?Copy !req
871. He's a very strict person,Copy !req
872. and he'll see if I have the necessary talent.Copy !req
873. And he said that if I do this,
I'll know whether I can handle it.Copy !req
874. If I can't do it,
I have to go back to school.Copy !req
875. Actually, I don't really like it.Copy !req
876. It's almost like they want me to fail.Copy !req
877. But it's a chance
for me to go.Copy !req
878. When...?
When will you be leaving?Copy !req
879. I have to
get my passport.Copy !req
880. My dad and I will be talking
to the school today.Copy !req
881. So you're leaving soon.Copy !req
882. That's great!Copy !req
883. You've got your wish!Copy !req
884. Yeah.Copy !req
885. Anyway, I'll just
have to do my best.Copy !req
886. - Um...
- You...Copy !req
887. The rain's stopped.Copy !req
888. You're right.Copy !req
889. Wow, look at that!Copy !req
890. Maybe we'll see a rainbow.Copy !req
891. Yeah.Copy !req
892. I wonder what kind
of place Cremona is.Copy !req
893. Hopefully it's a nice town.Copy !req
894. Yeah.Copy !req
895. They say it's an old city.Copy !req
896. And there are lots of people there
who are violin makers.Copy !req
897. That's so great.Copy !req
898. You're already
starting to fulfill your life's ambition.Copy !req
899. I feel like such an idiot.Copy !req
900. Thinking, "Wouldn't it be great
to go to high school with Seiji?"Copy !req
901. But it's depressing to think
how far behind you I am.Copy !req
902. They're here.Copy !req
903. You know, I noticed youCopy !req
904. from the library cards
a long time ago.Copy !req
905. I bet you never noticed how many times
I passed by you at the library.Copy !req
906. I even sat right
next to you once.Copy !req
907. What?Copy !req
908. I had to read lots of booksCopy !req
909. just so my name
was on the card before yours.Copy !req
910. I...Copy !req
911. When I go to Italy,Copy !req
912. I'll sing your song
and work really hard.Copy !req
913. I... I will...Copy !req
914. Don't push, you idiot!Copy !req
915. HEY!Copy !req
916. Watch it!
Tsukishima's pissed!Copy !req
917. I'm scared!Copy !req
918. Here she comes!Copy !req
919. Here.Copy !req
920. Oh, thanks.Copy !req
921. May I be excused?Copy !req
922. Shizuku, is that all
you're going to eat?Copy !req
923. I'm supposed to meet Yuuko.Copy !req
924. If you're going
near the train station, buy some milk.Copy !req
925. What?Copy !req
926. You're the one who
drank it all, Shizuku!Copy !req
927. She's been so lazy lately.Copy !req
928. Sorry!
Were you waiting long?Copy !req
929. It's okay.Copy !req
930. I'm so confused right now.Copy !req
931. Oh, Shizuku.
Nice to see you.Copy !req
932. Good evening.Copy !req
933. Welcome home.Copy !req
934. Excuse us.Copy !req
935. I'll make some tea.
Come get it when it's ready.Copy !req
936. Okay!Copy !req
937. I've been arguing with Father,Copy !req
938. so I'm not speaking to him.Copy !req
939. Guys are so cool, though.Copy !req
940. He said that he's coming back
in two months,Copy !req
941. but if he graduates...Copy !req
942. he's going right
back for ten years.Copy !req
943. That's almost like
being apart forever!Copy !req
944. But isn't there like a bond
between the two of you?Copy !req
945. I think it's great!Copy !req
946. But he's so much
better than me.Copy !req
947. Even though we read the
same books, that's all I did.Copy !req
948. He already knows
what he wants to do.Copy !req
949. You really think so?Copy !req
950. That's right.Copy !req
951. Wasn't Kinu in his
class that first year?Copy !req
952. She said that he's kinda
hard to get along with...Copy !req
953. but he's handsome
and he's good at school.Copy !req
954. So what if he is?Copy !req
955. You don't have to
say it so bluntly.Copy !req
956. Now I'm all depressed.Copy !req
957. But why?Copy !req
958. You like him, so what's wrong?Copy !req
959. And he said he likes you, didn't he?Copy !req
960. But I just
can't believe it.Copy !req
961. Well, I don't get it.Copy !req
962. If it was me, I'd
write letters every day...Copy !req
963. and expect letters every day
to keep our spirits up.Copy !req
964. How can I tell someone who's
better than me to do his best?Copy !req
965. I don't know.Copy !req
966. Listening to you, I don't know
what you're looking for in a boyfriend.Copy !req
967. Or are you thinking that you can't
find love until you've found a career?Copy !req
968. You have your
talents too, Shizuku.Copy !req
969. Unlike me, you can
say what you feel.Copy !req
970. "There're tons of people
like me out there."Copy !req
971. Huh?Copy !req
972. That's what he said.Copy !req
973. He said that he was going
to test his ability.Copy !req
974. So I have to try too.Copy !req
975. I've decided.Copy !req
976. I'm going to write a story.Copy !req
977. I know what I want to write.Copy !req
978. If he's going to try,
then I'll try too.Copy !req
979. But midterms are almost here.Copy !req
980. No problem.Copy !req
981. Thanks, Yuuko.Copy !req
982. I feel more confident now.Copy !req
983. You're going home?Copy !req
984. Yep.Copy !req
985. Thanks, I have to go.Copy !req
986. Say hi to your mom for us.Copy !req
987. Sure.Copy !req
988. You do your best, too, Yuuko.Copy !req
989. Right.Copy !req
990. I'm sure Sugimura will
notice your good points too.Copy !req
991. Goodbye.Copy !req
992. Goodbye.Copy !req
993. Gee, that was pretty easy.Copy !req
994. I'll just have to
give it a try, too.Copy !req
995. Moon!Copy !req
996. Muta! Muta!Copy !req
997. Mom, Muta's gone again!Copy !req
998. Muta!Copy !req
999. So it's Muta, huh?Copy !req
1000. Oh, so the Baron's
your main character?Copy !req
1001. Can I use him, please?Copy !req
1002. Seiji told me that you
really treasure this figurine.Copy !req
1003. And that's why you're...?Copy !req
1004. Of course, go ahead.Copy !req
1005. But on one condition.Copy !req
1006. Yes?Copy !req
1007. I want to be the first
person to read your story.Copy !req
1008. W... well, uh...Copy !req
1009. What do you think?Copy !req
1010. Do I really have
to show it to you?Copy !req
1011. Besides, I still don't know
if I can really write.Copy !req
1012. Well, that's just
like us artisans.Copy !req
1013. You can't expect perfection
when you're just starting.Copy !req
1014. Oh yes.Copy !req
1015. I have something nice
I want you to see.Copy !req
1016. Here we go.Copy !req
1017. Take a look.Copy !req
1018. This kind of rock
is called mica-slate.Copy !req
1019. Take a look inside that crack.Copy !req
1020. Right. Like that.Copy !req
1021. It's beautiful!Copy !req
1022. That's called beryl.Copy !req
1023. It contains pieces
of raw emeralds.Copy !req
1024. Emerald...
the precious jewel?Copy !req
1025. That's right.Copy !req
1026. Both you and Seiji
are like that rock.Copy !req
1027. Like a natural,
still unpolished stone.Copy !req
1028. I happen to like things like that.Copy !req
1029. But making violins and
writing stories are different.Copy !req
1030. You have to find the raw jewel inside
and spend the time to polish and refine it.Copy !req
1031. It's time-consuming work.Copy !req
1032. Can you see the big
raw jewel inside that rock?Copy !req
1033. Yes.Copy !req
1034. The truth is that if you polish and refine it,Copy !req
1035. you'll find that it won't look very good.Copy !req
1036. The smaller ones deep
inside are more pure.Copy !req
1037. In fact, there may be even better jewelsCopy !req
1038. inside where you can't see them.Copy !req
1039. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1040. When you get old, you start rambling.
That's not good.Copy !req
1041. I'm scared to find out whether
there's anything this pretty inside myself.Copy !req
1042. But I still want to write.Copy !req
1043. If I write it, then you'll
definitely be the first to read it.Copy !req
1044. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to it.Copy !req
1045. A jewel...Copy !req
1046. Maybe a vein
of lapis lazuli...Copy !req
1047. Come!
I will be your escort!Copy !req
1048. Let us go and find
the deposit of lapis lazuli!Copy !req
1049. You have nothing to fear.Copy !req
1050. Space is distorted on
the days of the New Moon.Copy !req
1051. That which is far
will seem large.Copy !req
1052. And what is near will seem small.
But it only appears that way.Copy !req
1053. Now fly! We'll catch
an ascending wind!Copy !req
1054. We must hurry!Copy !req
1055. The planetoids are gathering!Copy !req
1056. Excellent!
We're riding the wind!Copy !req
1057. At this rate, we shall
soon pass that tower.Copy !req
1058. Are we that high up?Copy !req
1059. Hardly.Copy !req
1060. Once we're closer,
it will not seem so at all.Copy !req
1061. "Now go without fear."Copy !req
1062. "When the winds distort in the afternoon,Copy !req
1063. even the stars will be in reach!"Copy !req
1064. Huh?Copy !req
1065. It's unusual to seeCopy !req
1066. Shizuku look for something
besides storybooks.Copy !req
1067. This person's making
a violin in prison.Copy !req
1068. Seiji!Copy !req
1069. I thought you'd left already!Copy !req
1070. From what Grandpa said,
I thought you might be here.Copy !req
1071. I'm glad I found you.Copy !req
1072. I'm leaving tomorrow.Copy !req
1073. Tomorrow?Copy !req
1074. It's okay. I'll wait
here until you're done.Copy !req
1075. Sorry I can't
walk you home.Copy !req
1076. It's okay, I'm really happy
you came to see me.Copy !req
1077. I can't see you off,Copy !req
1078. but I'll wait for you to come back.Copy !req
1079. Sure.
It's only two months.Copy !req
1080. I'm sorry for
complaining all the time.Copy !req
1081. I'll be doing my best, too.Copy !req
1082. Well, I'm off, then.Copy !req
1083. Have a safe trip!Copy !req
1084. My fiancee Louise and ICopy !req
1085. are from a town
in a far-away foreign land.Copy !req
1086. And in that town,
magic is still alive.Copy !req
1087. The craftsmen
with magic in their bloodCopy !req
1088. made many things in their shops.Copy !req
1089. The one who created usCopy !req
1090. was a poor apprentice
in a figurine shop.Copy !req
1091. Nevertheless, Louise and
I were very happy.Copy !req
1092. He created us to express
his unrequited love.Copy !req
1093. However...Copy !req
1094. Shizuku.Copy !req
1095. Shizuku!Copy !req
1096. Shizuku!Copy !req
1097. What's wrong?Copy !req
1098. Tsukishima!Copy !req
1099. I... I don't know.Copy !req
1100. I wasn't listening.Copy !req
1101. Pay attention!
This is important!Copy !req
1102. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1103. Harada, you
read it instead.Copy !req
1104. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1105. What!
You were up 'til four again!Copy !req
1106. Don't worry.Copy !req
1107. I wasn't sleepy at all.Copy !req
1108. But, Shizuku, you've been
blanking out a lot lately.Copy !req
1109. Like earlier.Copy !req
1110. I was just thinking.Copy !req
1111. There's so much to write,
I don't know how to organize it.Copy !req
1112. I've lost my appetite.Copy !req
1113. Oh, you're here, Shizuku.Copy !req
1114. Look at this, you didn't
even turn on the lights.Copy !req
1115. And I wish you would've
put away the laundry.Copy !req
1116. Shizuku!Copy !req
1117. Come here for
a second, Shizuku.Copy !req
1118. Where's Shizuku?
Is she home?Copy !req
1119. Said she didn't want any.Copy !req
1120. Oh, I've been expecting you.Copy !req
1121. Sorry to trouble you.Copy !req
1122. This way, please.Copy !req
1123. Is the Career
Counseling Room open?Copy !req
1124. Yeah.Copy !req
1125. This way.Copy !req
1126. I'm back.Copy !req
1127. Welcome home.Copy !req
1128. You're back early today, Shiho.Copy !req
1129. I'm exhausted.Copy !req
1130. Want some coffee?Copy !req
1131. That sounds great.Copy !req
1132. Mother, I want to
ask you something.Copy !req
1133. What is it?Copy !req
1134. I've been thinking
of moving out.Copy !req
1135. I've already found a place.Copy !req
1136. But won't that cost a lot?Copy !req
1137. It's okay. I've saved
up some money from work.Copy !req
1138. I found a position at
the cram schoolCopy !req
1139. so it'll be okay.Copy !req
1140. I see.Copy !req
1141. I've relied on you to do
a lot of the housework, you know.Copy !req
1142. Good luck, then.Copy !req
1143. I'll tell your father.Copy !req
1144. Really?
That's great!Copy !req
1145. It'll be kinda tough until spring,Copy !req
1146. but if I graduate,
I'll be going to work, too.Copy !req
1147. When I do,
I can help you out.Copy !req
1148. Sure.
I'd appreciate it.Copy !req
1149. I'm sorry to do it
during such a bad time.Copy !req
1150. Oh, thanks.Copy !req
1151. I appreciate your
helping with my data.Copy !req
1152. Shizuku will have more room
and she'll be able to concentrate on studying.Copy !req
1153. She's been acting
strange lately.Copy !req
1154. So you think so too?Copy !req
1155. I was called to her school today.Copy !req
1156. Look at this.Copy !req
1157. What is it?Copy !req
1158. I can't believe this!Copy !req
1159. She must've gone down
a hundred places!Copy !req
1160. What is she so obsessed with,
sitting at her desk there?Copy !req
1161. Oh, good evening.Copy !req
1162. Welcome back.Copy !req
1163. Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
1164. Just what kind of high school are you
planning to attend with those scores?Copy !req
1165. Fine! I won't go
to high school then!Copy !req
1166. You're not going...?Copy !req
1167. Don't think life is
going to be that easy!Copy !req
1168. What will you do with
only a junior high education?Copy !req
1169. I'll decide for myself
what I want to do!Copy !req
1170. Don't you talk back to me!Copy !req
1171. You're refusing to face reality!Copy !req
1172. Don't you know that your rank after
second semester goes on your record?Copy !req
1173. Oh, and is studying
all that great?Copy !req
1174. Now that you're in college,
all you're doing are part-time jobs, Sis!Copy !req
1175. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do!Copy !req
1176. You're the one who's running away
from what you're supposed to do!Copy !req
1177. Can't you see that?Copy !req
1178. I'm not running away!Copy !req
1179. I just have something
more important to do!Copy !req
1180. What's this important thing?
Come on and show me!Copy !req
1181. Shiho, Shizuku,
stop arguing.Copy !req
1182. But, Father!
Shizuku won't listen to me!Copy !req
1183. Well, both of you come here.
Let me hear your reasons.Copy !req
1184. Shizuku, you should change
out of those clothes.Copy !req
1185. Hurry up.Copy !req
1186. I see.Copy !req
1187. Shizuku, is what Shiho says true?Copy !req
1188. It's not like I don't
care about my tests!Copy !req
1189. But you just said you weren't
going to attend high school.Copy !req
1190. That's because you said
I can't get into any high school!Copy !req
1191. Shiho, I want to talk to Shizuku alone.Copy !req
1192. Will you please wait outside?Copy !req
1193. Yes.Copy !req
1194. Where's your mother?Copy !req
1195. At the Tanaka's.Copy !req
1196. I'm home.Copy !req
1197. Welcome back, Mother.Copy !req
1198. Is your Father back?Copy !req
1199. Yeah.Copy !req
1200. Will you come in here, too, dear?Copy !req
1201. Shiho has been telling me about Shizuku.Copy !req
1202. Yes, dear.Copy !req
1203. All right, Shizuku.Copy !req
1204. Is what you're doing nowCopy !req
1205. more important than your studies?Copy !req
1206. Will you tell us what
it is you're doing?Copy !req
1207. I'll tell you
when it's time.Copy !req
1208. Shizuku, is this something
you have to do now?Copy !req
1209. But there's no time!Copy !req
1210. I only have three
more weeks to do it!Copy !req
1211. I've decided to test
myself during this time!Copy !req
1212. I have to do it!Copy !req
1213. Test yourself on what?Copy !req
1214. What are you testing?Copy !req
1215. We won't know if
you don't tell us.Copy !req
1216. You can't even tell your
father or your mother?Copy !req
1217. Dear.Copy !req
1218. Oh, sorry. Habit.Copy !req
1219. I've noticed that you're putting a lot
of effort into something at the library.Copy !req
1220. I can respect that.Copy !req
1221. Should we let Shizuku
do what she wants, dear?Copy !req
1222. It's not as if there's
only one way to live your life.Copy !req
1223. Well, I've had times
like this in my life, too.Copy !req
1224. All right, Shizuku.Copy !req
1225. You'll have to do as you believe.Copy !req
1226. ButCopy !req
1227. it'll be very tough
to find your own way.Copy !req
1228. If anything happens,
you'll have no one to blame.Copy !req
1229. And please be present
when we're eating dinner.Copy !req
1230. That's right.
You're part of the family too, you know.Copy !req
1231. Yes.Copy !req
1232. Go call Shiho in here.Copy !req
1233. - I'll make some tea.
- Fine.Copy !req
1234. Shizuku.Copy !req
1235. Father just said "Oh well",Copy !req
1236. but I think he really wanted you
to study more.Copy !req
1237. I know that!Copy !req
1238. I could see it written on his face!Copy !req
1239. I'm going to be moving
out this coming Sunday.Copy !req
1240. You'll have the
room to yourself.Copy !req
1241. You're moving out, Sis?Copy !req
1242. Yup.
Take care of yourself.Copy !req
1243. Hurry!Copy !req
1244. Hurry! Hurry!Copy !req
1245. Only one of them is real!Copy !req
1246. Which one?
Which one's the real one?Copy !req
1247. Hurry!Copy !req
1248. Hurry!Copy !req
1249. Hurry!Copy !req
1250. Louise, you've come for me.Copy !req
1251. I'm already
an old man.Copy !req
1252. Shizuku!Copy !req
1253. Please, come in.Copy !req
1254. Oh, I must've fallen asleep.Copy !req
1255. Please excuse me, but...Copy !req
1256. I've brought
you my manuscript.Copy !req
1257. Does that mean
you're finished?Copy !req
1258. As I promised.Copy !req
1259. Please be the first one to read this.Copy !req
1260. This is pretty long!Copy !req
1261. The Story As Told by the Baron
by Tsukishima ShizukuCopy !req
1262. Um, will you read it right now?Copy !req
1263. I'll wait however long it takes.Copy !req
1264. But, after putting so much work into this,Copy !req
1265. I wanted to take time to read it carefully.Copy !req
1266. If you don't like it,
just stop reading it!Copy !req
1267. I mean, if this
isn't a bother.Copy !req
1268. I, um...Copy !req
1269. I'm so nervous
right now.Copy !req
1270. I understand.
I'll read it right away.Copy !req
1271. Come, let's sit
by the fire.Copy !req
1272. It'll be cold today.Copy !req
1273. Now no one
will bother us.Copy !req
1274. Um, is it okay if
I wait downstairs?Copy !req
1275. Hm?Copy !req
1276. I'll be fine.
I'm not cold at all.Copy !req
1277. I don't mind, but...Copy !req
1278. So there you are.Copy !req
1279. Shizuku, I've finished reading it.Copy !req
1280. Thank you.
It was great!Copy !req
1281. That's not true!
That's not true!Copy !req
1282. Tell me the truth, please!Copy !req
1283. I couldn't even
organize the story!Copy !req
1284. The second half is all messed up!
I realize it myself!Copy !req
1285. That's true. It's a bit rough,
unpolished, and incomplete.Copy !req
1286. Just like Seiji's violins!Copy !req
1287. You've shown me the very
first jewel you've crafted.Copy !req
1288. I know you tried hard.
You did great.Copy !req
1289. There's no reason to hurry.Copy !req
1290. Take your time and polish it up.Copy !req
1291. Come on, it's cold out here.
Let's go in.Copy !req
1292. I...Copy !req
1293. I found out after
I wrote the whole thing!Copy !req
1294. Just wanting to
write isn't enough!Copy !req
1295. I need to study more!Copy !req
1296. But...Copy !req
1297. Seiji is going so
much faster than I am!Copy !req
1298. I forced myself to write it,
but I was so scared!Copy !req
1299. I was so scared!Copy !req
1300. You really like
Seiji, don't you?Copy !req
1301. How does it taste?Copy !req
1302. It tastes great.Copy !req
1303. I had ramen with Seiji, too.Copy !req
1304. The first time he made a violin.Copy !req
1305. That was a jumbo serving too.Copy !req
1306. Ah, thank you.Copy !req
1307. Well, how far
did we get before?Copy !req
1308. You were a transfer student in GermanyCopy !req
1309. and you found the Baron at a cafe.Copy !req
1310. Right, right.Copy !req
1311. It's sort of melancholy,Copy !req
1312. but I was attracted by his expression.Copy !req
1313. I pleaded with the
owner to sell him to me.Copy !req
1314. But he wouldn't do it.Copy !req
1315. He said, "This feline
Baron has a companion."Copy !req
1316. "You can't separate
two lovers like that."Copy !req
1317. The Baron is awaiting
the return of his Baroness,Copy !req
1318. who was sent out for repairs.Copy !req
1319. But that's just like my story.Copy !req
1320. That's right!
What a coincidence, huh?Copy !req
1321. It was almost the day I had to
go home,Copy !req
1322. so I thought I had to give up.Copy !req
1323. But then,
my girlfriend spoke up.Copy !req
1324. She said that when the
Baron's companion returned...Copy !req
1325. she would make sure that the
two figurines stayed together.Copy !req
1326. The proprietor finally gave in.Copy !req
1327. I only took the Baron with me
when I moved and left the other behind.Copy !req
1328. I told my girlfriend to hold onto the
figurine for meCopy !req
1329. until I came back for her.Copy !req
1330. I told her that the two
figurines would meet...Copy !req
1331. when the two
of us meet again.Copy !req
1332. But the war started
right after that.Copy !req
1333. And I couldn't keep my promise.Copy !req
1334. When I finally went back to that town,
I searched all over.Copy !req
1335. But in the end I couldn't find
either her or the Baron's love.Copy !req
1336. She was very important
to you, wasn't she?Copy !req
1337. The Baron was really
just a sad part of my past...Copy !req
1338. but you've brought him alive
in a story of hope.Copy !req
1339. Oh, that's right.Copy !req
1340. Now, hold out your hands.Copy !req
1341. I...Copy !req
1342. This stone is more
appropriate for you.Copy !req
1343. I'm giving it to you.Copy !req
1344. Please work hard and
and create your own story.Copy !req
1345. I will.Copy !req
1346. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1347. Goodbye!Copy !req
1348. I'm back.Copy !req
1349. Welcome home.Copy !req
1350. Where's Father?Copy !req
1351. Taking a bath.Copy !req
1352. What time do you
think it is right now?Copy !req
1353. I'm sorry I've worried you.Copy !req
1354. As of now, I'm going back
to being a regular student.Copy !req
1355. You don't have
to worry anymore.Copy !req
1356. So you're done
testing yourself?Copy !req
1357. For now, at least.Copy !req
1358. Have you eaten?
There's curry.Copy !req
1359. No, thanks.Copy !req
1360. Just for now, huh?Copy !req
1361. I'm coming in, Shizuku.
Go take your bath.Copy !req
1362. Sleeping like a soldier.Copy !req
1363. Well, then...Copy !req
1364. It can't be!Copy !req
1365. W... wait a minute!Copy !req
1366. It's a miracle!
I got to see you!Copy !req
1367. This isn't a dream, right?Copy !req
1368. My flight was a day early.Copy !req
1369. Get on!Copy !req
1370. Oh, wait.Copy !req
1371. You'll be cold like that.Copy !req
1372. C'mon, get on.Copy !req
1373. I'll go get my coat.Copy !req
1374. There isn't time!
Just get on.Copy !req
1375. Hold on tight now.Copy !req
1376. I really wanted
to see you, Shizuku.Copy !req
1377. I don't know how long
I thought, "Shizuku!"Copy !req
1378. And then, you really did
poke your head out!Copy !req
1379. We're really amazing!Copy !req
1380. I wanted to
see you, too.Copy !req
1381. It still feels
like a dream!Copy !req
1382. How was Cremona?Copy !req
1383. It's very different from what
I'd heard,Copy !req
1384. but I'll still do it.Copy !req
1385. Wow, it's getting really light.Copy !req
1386. Should I get off?Copy !req
1387. It's okay.Copy !req
1388. I decided...Copy !req
1389. I wanted to
take this hill...Copy !req
1390. with you on the bike!Copy !req
1391. That's not fair at all!Copy !req
1392. I don't want to be
just a piece of luggage!Copy !req
1393. I want to be
doing something, too!Copy !req
1394. All right!
Please help.Copy !req
1395. Just a little farther.Copy !req
1396. Shizuku!Copy !req
1397. Hurry and get on!Copy !req
1398. 'Kay.Copy !req
1399. We're in time!Copy !req
1400. - Need a hand?
- I'm fine.Copy !req
1401. This way.Copy !req
1402. Incredible!Copy !req
1403. The morning mist
looks almost like the ocean!Copy !req
1404. This is my own secret place.Copy !req
1405. It's almost time.Copy !req
1406. This is what
I wanted you to see.Copy !req
1407. Grandpa told me what
you've been doing.Copy !req
1408. I didn't do anything to help you.Copy !req
1409. I was only thinking of myself.Copy !req
1410. No.Copy !req
1411. I was doing
it because of you!Copy !req
1412. I'm glad I got
to challenge myself.Copy !req
1413. I learned a little
more about myself.Copy !req
1414. I'm going to study harder.Copy !req
1415. I've decided that
I'm going to high school, too.Copy !req
1416. Shizuku, listen...Copy !req
1417. I, uh... of course I don't
mean right now, but...Copy !req
1418. Will you marry me?Copy !req
1419. I know I'll become
a master violin maker!Copy !req
1420. And then, we can...Copy !req
1421. Yes.Copy !req
1422. You mean it?Copy !req
1423. I'm so glad!
I've been hoping for the same thing!Copy !req
1424. Really! Alright!Copy !req
