Hey Granny...
Hmm?
Do you know the boy sitting at the bench over there?
Ah, you mean Mio-kun?
He used to come buy our bread
with his mother when he was young.
I'm back.
I'm hungry!
Welcome home.
Where's Suzu-chan?
Not coming, she says her overtime's not ending.
Ah, Eri! Don't...
eat that yet...
Yummy!
Umibe no Étranger
Wait up! Hurry up!
Good morning!
You're the boy who always sits here...
Shun...
Would you get some vegetables from the...
Oh, you're working?
Nope, it's okay.
This is from Granny.
Oh, thank you for everything.
Shun-chan, eat this.
Miyako Cafe
I'm back.
Oh, thanks.
Right away!
Coming!
One curry...
And... Tako rice!
I'll help!
Please.
Okay!
Excuse me. Where's the reception desk for the lodgings?
Oh, right, right...
Please sit here and wait for a moment.
Welcome!
Who ordered draft beer?
Here!
I think we can order drinks.
Coming!
Hey, you! Wait!
This is the shop's leftovers.
Ah, aren't you hungry?
Not really.
Ah!
Right, of course.
I'm sure you have dinner waiting.
Are you giving me that?
Eh?
Ah, sure.
Thank you very much.
Oh no, it's nothing.
Welcome back.
Jeez, it just started pouring out of the blue.
Good job.
Thank you.
Just now, Mio-kun came by.
He says it's thanks for the bread.
He split these from his mother's seedlings.
Oh...
Mio-kun's mother passed away apparently.
It had been always just the two of them and now he's alone.
And he's still only in high school.
I'm sure he's feeling lonely.
Mio...
What do you want for dinner?
Curry.
But we ate that yesterday and the day before.
Anything else?
Eh?
Then, this!
Is today no money day?
Nope, let's eat crab.
Really?
Yeah.
Crab!
Crabrolls...
Thank you for the food!
Crabrolls...
Yummy!
It's yummy, huh?
Yep! I want seconds!
Sure, as much as you want.
Can I sit beside you?
Thanks.
Thank you for the flowers.
Yeah...
Hey, what are you always looking at from here?
Nothing in particular.
Don't you feel lonely being always by yourself?
What?!
Huh? Sorry...
You're the one who is always looking at me!
It's creepy.
Disgusting.
Hey, don't you think Hashimoto sometimes looks like a girl?
Ah, I get you.
Maybe he's gay?
Eww, my seat is right next to his!
God, I might be done for!
Ah, you're awake.
Suzu-chan?
Oh, he's awake?
You collapsed again.
Eh, no way!
I'll take that.
Shun, did something happen?
Nope, nothing.
Suzu-chan too, thanks.
What is it?
It's just that the person that I like happens to be the same gender.
Why is that weird, I wonder...
What is that?
Work...
I heard that you write novels.
Ah, but this is not my manuscript. Just preparation...
Well, it doesn't really matter huh?
I said something mean.
I am sorry.
Huh?
Why are you apologizing?
That was because I...
It's because everyone looks at me with those sympathizing eyes.
Because I don't have a family.
Sadness and loneliness...
That's something only I will understand.
I don't want your pity when you don't even understand.
I thought you were so too...
No!
Ah, well,
I was just interested in you and wanted to try talking to you.
It's just my ulterior motives.
What's with that?
What a dumb excuse. It's like you're hitting on me.
But...
I'm glad...
Shun, what's for dinner?
Huh? Wait!
Oh my?
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!
Eri?!
There's a pretty boy here again!
What's your business here today?
Eri!
Oh, just the right timing!
Charge!
Shun...
Yeah?
So your name's Shun?
That's right. The one you write with a 'horse' character.
I'm Mio.
Should we go home?
You write it with the word to 'fruit' and 'central'.
Ohh..
We have to go home and make dinner.
Curry!
Sure!
Curry! Curry! Curry!
Shun, you...
Hmm?
You suck at fishing.
Notice: Off Day
Hang on, where's the fish?
Couldn't catch one.
Erm, Shun?
Not even one?
Shut up!
I'm going home.
Huh?! What are you saying?!
You're eating here too!
Eh?
Well then,
thank you for the food!
Thank you for the food.
Mio-kun, you're good at cooking.
Yeah, because I used to help out at home.
I see.
Here, Mio-kun.
Thank you.
This guy here doesn't improve at all.
Just look at this.
Then don't eat it.
Shun was always worried about you.
Eri! Don't say unnecessary stuff!
But it's true!
"I wonder if he eats properly at home."
I'm sorry we're so noisy.
"What about his age?"
I didn't say that! Stop it!
Do you like curry, Mio-kun?
Uh, I like...
Hmm?
How cute!
Oh you! Just shut up and eat!
Look at you, so happy.
Eri!!
Suzu! I want the fried chicken!
Sure.
Hey, are you listening?!
Not at all.
What?! And that's mine!
The potato salad is good.
That's great.
Ah, I ate too much.
You have a good appetite.
Shun?
Yeah?
I'm moving to the institution at the main island tomorrow.
Huh? Tomorrow?
Eh, how about your contact, your phone number?
I don't have a phone.
I can't do anything as a child.
Shun,
once I get there, I'll call you.
Hey, Sensei, help out a bit!
Don't call me Sensei.
Well, reality is like this.
Congratulations for being nominated
Ah?!
And you two lovebirds are living happily in the love nest.
How envious.
Excuse us for living in bliss, Dried-Tree Sensei!
Note: Since he's doesn't have a relationship he dried off, has no fruit.
Shut up! Get out right now!
Oh, the next tenant is coming soon, right?
Huh? I didn't hear anything about it.
Because Granny was saying she wants another pair of male hands to help out.
Well, whatever.
Shun?
Are you sleeping?
It's been a while.
Mio?
Shun, how have you been doing?
Eh?
The new tenant is you?
Yeah.
You're going to stay here?
Yup, I'm 20 now.
I remembered hearing from Eri-chan that I can be useful here now.
I like you, Shun.
So, Shun, fall in love with me too!
Huh?!
Shun, good for you!
Eri!
You'll never find another guy as good as him again.
Shut up!
Don't you 'ehehe' me!
Geez, what's wrong with you guys?!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
This flower...
I planted the seedlings you gave us.
It's been growing so much, just like you.
I've grown quite a lot, right?
Hey, that's a joke, right?
About liking a guy. There's nothing good about it.
That's why I spent three years thinking about it.
That's just your misunderstanding.
Maybe it is.
Then...
It doesn't matter what the reason is.
I want to be with you,
so I came back.
Shun...
Somehow,
I'm hungry...
Eh?!
Why now?!!
Oh well, let's eat something.
No, wait!
Shun!
Oh right.
Welcome back, Mio.
Because I haven't said it yet.
Yeah!
I'm back!
I'm here, Mom, Dad.
How are you today?
I'm home.
It's so cool inside.
Ah, you haven't eaten your breakfast?
How is your progress?
Ugh, nothing at all..
Oh dear...
Good luck.
Ah!
What about the thing I asked for?
Huh?
Cool pads.
Ah! I forgot!
Sorry!
It's time for my part-time, so I'll get them when I come back.
Part-time?
Yeah, I'll be back by evening.
I'll be going.
Here, please.
Okay.
Thank you for waiting.
Stewed pork and fried mixed veges.
Cutie boy, you're from one of the islands?
Cutie...?
Yes, I am.
What's your name?
I'm Chibana.
How old are you?
Twenty.
So young!
How about a girlfriend?
Oh, he turned red!
How cute!
Shun, the bath is free now.
I'm tired, so I'm going to nap a while.
Eh?
Then can I sleep by your side today?
Huh, of course not.
Why not?
You're just so frank.
You really don't think of anything at all.
Mommy!
This, you made this, Mio?
Yes! Was I helpful?
Yeah, very... helpful...
Let's eat, let's eat!
Thank you for the food!
Oh, so delicious!
Thank you, Mio!
You're welcome!
You didn't sleep?
Yeah.
Mio!
I'll be going over tonight. Do you have anything you want to eat?
Curry.
You sure like it.
And how's life living with Writer-sensei?
Well, quite normal, I guess.
Oh, you're here?
Oh my, Big-Shot Sensei.
Huh?
You, pay more attention to him.
What's with that attitude?
Faking being busy? How lame.
It's not fake.
When's the deadline for that?
Yesterday.
Eh!
I'll make it on time if I hand it in tomorrow.
Isn't that not making it on time?
Shun sure is busy.
You are too.
Huh?
Serving customers and all...
Ah, the shop? That's nothing.
Cutie boy is so popular~~
Ow! That hurts! What's with that?!
Ah, Mio.
It's freshly fried.
Try some.
I'll have one.
Geez, you're eating too much.
You ate some at home too, right?
Suzu's donuts sure are delicious.
Geez...
You sure get along well.
Yeah, right, because Suzu is so cute.
Unlike for you.
Right, Shun?
What?
Did you finish it?
Yeah...
I'm going to the main island for a bit.
Huh?
Why? Now?
I'm going to post it via airmail.
Ahh... Good job.
Then, why don't you go along, Mio?
Eh, but the shop...
It's fine. We'll cover for you, right?
Eh? Yeah, sure.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Here you go.
Great job.
Thanks.
What's that?
Huh?
Your cap.
I'm not good at meeting people's eye.
And there's a lot of people at the main island.
Huh? How so?
You talk normally to the customers, right?
That... I worked hard to be able to look at them in the eye.
Really?
You sure are a hard worker.
Yep.
Why don't you find a girlfriend while you're at it?
What a waste.
Huh?
What are you saying?!
I'm going to the airport.
What about you?
I'll go home myself.
Errr...
Do you like men?
I'm not interested in kids.
No, that's not...
It's not like that...
I confessed to a guy
and kept thinking about it
but I don't get it....
That's...
That's why I want to ask about other things...
Come anytime you like.
I can only serve you juice though.
Mio
Where are you now, Mio?
Shun, you might think I'm stupid for getting all hyped up alone
and don't think about anything but...
But even I... After separating from Shun, I thought of many things.
I like you, Shun.
But you don't feel the same.
By coming back here, was I being a nuisance?
Mio!
Where are you now?
Eh... Sakurazaka's Live House.
I'll come over, so stay there.
Hey, don't you think Hashimoto sometimes looks like a girl?
Ah, I get you.
Maybe he's gay?
God, I might be done for!
Mio...
I thought you liked me...
That's why I fell for you.
That's why I came back.
What I want is not a girlfriend!
Come.
Please.
Thank you very much.
Breakfast is from 6am to 9am at the canteen.
Look at that.
What?
Really?
Checkout is at 10am.
No way, our eyes met.
This is your room key.
Please go up via that elevator over there.
Okay.
Eh, wait a sec...
Hey, Shun.
Wait a moment!
Shun, wait-
Why did you come back?
Even though you'd be happier falling in love normally with a girl...
I just can't help thinking of that every time when I see you.
Hey, have you slept with a girl before?
Well, yes...
Me too.
Can you do it?
Somewhat.
But I've never done it with a guy before.
Eh?
Never?!
Why?!
I've never confessed and he was my friend.
If it's not going to turn out well, it was best to not say anything at all.
But I called out to you.
I feel somewhat childish.
Shun, let's have sex!
Huh?!
I haven't slept for two days.
It's fine!
It's impossible, so out of the blue.
It's okay if you put some effort into it!
Hey, Shun, wake up!
Ah, thanks for the riceballs.
Geez...
Why did you have to fall asleep?!
You idiot!
Shun...
They say preparations are ready.
Oh, you look beautiful.
Hey...
We are really going to be married.
Are you really okay with that?
Shun...
Today, let's have sex-
No.
Eh?!
You're noisy.
Shun, you don't want to do it?
I want to.
I like you, Shun.
I like you too.
Hurry up and go to your part-time.
Say it one more time.
Not saying.
Why not? Shun...
Hurry up and go.
I'll go so...
Shun.
Long time no see.
Who's that?
Childhood friend.
You mean fiancee, right?
Ex-fiancee.
How did you know this place?
What did you come here for anyway?
Isn't that obvious?
I've come to bring you back.
I'm home.
Oh, welcome home.
I'm Sakurako. Please excuse me for earlier.
I'm Chibana.
Nice to meet you.
You're Shun's friend?
Ah, yeah...
That's not it.
I've told you earlier,
he's my lover.
Oh, it's my manuscript.
Yeah.
I wonder how it is.
Hashimoto
What's with that?
What's what?
Is boyfriend a better word?
No!
Not that!
What's that about the fiancee?
I broke that off a long time ago and cut ties with my family then too.
Oh, I see.
What's wrong?
My family told me to come back and show my face.
It's easy for them to say.
I'm going to take a bath.
Okay.
Can I have a moment?
Okay...
Where's Shun?
Working.... Probably.
I see.
Then, it's fine with you.
Eh?
Even if you say to show you around the island,
there's nothing but mountains and the sea.
Then the mountains.
You dislike the sea?
My hometown is by the sea.
Hey...
Yes!
Have you guys done it?
Not yet?
Shun is really good.
He's careful and gentle.
Why don't you let him do it soon?
That person... He couldn't do it all this time.
Sakurako-san, did you perhaps come here to reconcile with him?
No way, of course not.
So you haven't heard anything about us.
Dad's health is declining.
Note: She addresses Shun's father as her own, as if she had really married him.
I've sent a letter. Did it not arrive?
It did.
Is it that bad that you have to come and get him in person?
He's not in immediate danger.
But at this rate, he'll never go home.
Why did you agree to marry Shun?
Because Shun said it's okay.
Even if you know that he's unable to fall in love with a girl?
You do know about it, right?
You guys, quit skipping practice.
We're not skipping!
Geez, fine, 5 minutes break.
Hey, don't you think he's even more tired than us?
Yeah.
Hand it over properly.
Are you not going to confess?
Of course not.
It might turn out okay this time.
Definitely not.
There's nothing definite.
If you don't tell them, nothing will happen.
You're so spineless.
You wouldn't...
...understand.
You can do your writing anywhere, right?
Just come home for once.
Not going.
Erm, I've sliced some watermelon.
I have no intentions of going back now.
What's with you anyway,
coming all the way here to drag me back?
Don't stick your nose into someone else's family problem.
It doesn't concern you any longer now.
Shun, that's-!
I didn't think...
...you were that stupid.
Wait! Sakurako-san!
Shun, hurry up and go after her!
If you're here...
Why do I have to go back?
Me?
Yeah!
Aren't you just using me as an excuse?
That's not-!
Shun!
Once he's dead, you'll never be able to see him again.
I'm fine.
I'm fine, so go back and see him.
I, too...
What is it?
Running away and leaving your bride behind,
plus saying that you like men!
What the heck are you saying at this time?!
Dear!
That's not it, right, Shun?
Say it's not true!
I didn't think you were that stupid.
Go back and see him.
I'm fine.
It's fine.
Ah, damn it!
Okay, you two, look over here.
Come on, both of you, smile.
What a face.
Isn't it fine? Aren't they cute?
Aunty, I got some amazake.
Oh, good for you.
Shun was with you too, isn't that nice?
Uncle, Aunty, I'm going to be Shun's bride.
Oh, really?
Good for you, Shun.
It's true!
We promised, right, Shun?
Yeah...
If it's Sakurako, it's fine.
Sakurako-san!
You can't go to such a place alone at night!
It's dangerous.
Let's go back.
Let me send you back.
Why don't you stop him?
Then Shun will stay here forever.
Why? Why don't you say what you want and be selfish?
But that... You're the same as well, Sakurako-san.
I did say what I want!
Even if he doesn't love me,
I want to stay by his side.
I told him...
Someday, if Shun falls in love with someone else...
If the one next to him isn't me,
I'm still fine with it.
Because the one to decide is Shun.
You are able to say that because he needs you!
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
What do you understand?
I understand!
That's because Shun is just as important to me as he is to you!
That's why...
I'm sorry...
Why aren't you...
...a more awful person.
When I was young, my mother used to tell me that if I was alone, I'd be kidnapped.
By the sea?
Yeah, by the other side.
But my mother passed away.
Losing a family is a sad thing.
That's why I don't want Shun to feel that.
I want him to go back.
Mio!
Yes!
Mommy!
Yes!
Carry me!
Okay!
Mommy, you smell nice.
I love you!
Mio!
Why won't you answer your phone?
I was worried!
Oh, I didn't bring it with me.
I left it in my room.
There's no point of having a phone then, you idiot!
And so?
Where's Sakurako?
I sent her back to her lodgings.
Where's she staying?
She said not to come today.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you're super tired after everything.
Huh? Not really?
Yeah, you're right. You're the worst for saying such a thing to a girl.
You have to be nice to girls.
Even more so if you're an adult.
Just kidding.
Did I scare you?
I am really sorry.
It's fine.
Hey...
I'm done with you.
Sakurako...
Goodbye. May you find happiness.
I'm just an outsider so I'll be excusing myself.
Well, well, let's leave it at that, Sakurako-san.
Come back once. Your father...
I know. I've read the letter.
I see.
Hey, Shun.
Kiss me.
Huh?! Wha-!
I'll give up with that!
It's fine, right?!
You've never done it before.
Shun is really good.
He's careful and gentle.
Sakurako, my...
N-NOT YOU!!!!
I'm sorry!
Even if Shun's fine with it, I'm not!
See you again, Sakurako-san!
I'll never come back...
to such a place....
Ahhh.... What a storm.
Geez...
Time to go home and sleep.
Hey...
Ouch! Why...
Why didn't you say no right away?!
If I wasn't there to interfere, you would've just done it, right?!
Huh? What?
I don't care anymore! You idiot!
Hey, Mio.
Shut up!
What about dinner?
Don't need it!
Granny, Mio says he'll eat later.
Oh my, did you fight?
Then eat it together with him later.
Yeah.
Mio.
I'm coming in.
Mio.
Hey... Are you still angry?
Why are you...
...such a crybaby?
No. Stop it.
I said no.
I have you right here...
Of course I'll say no to such a request.
Wait!
What?
I'll take off my clothes! I want to!
Hey, do you really want to do it?
Of course! Why?
Because...
Isn't it disgusting?
Of course not!
What are you saying now?
You, take off your clothes too!
Mio, can you put it in?
No way! I can't last that long!
You've just came.
It's fine if you put on two condoms.
No, I can't! You can do it.
I want you to put it in me!
That's why I took a bath...
And did other stuff....
Other stuff?
It's fine, so!
I understand...
I'm putting my finger in.
Ah!
Did you loosen yourself?
Tell me about that properly!
I'll do it next time!
It's fine so put it in....
I'm putting it in...
How are you feeling?
Not too well....
One day,
with the person I fall in love with...
Of course...
What should I do?
It's fine.
If I'm able to hold them...
Although that's something that will never come true, or so I thought...
Are you okay?
You want some?
No thanks.
I'm good.
How about some tempura?
You can have them.
You sure?
Lucky~~
I did nothing at all.
Huh? But you did, all kinds of things.
Not that, you idiot!
I love you more than you think.
Me too, I want to do something for you.
You gave me this.
That's not what I'm saying.
I've already gotten it.
I like girls.
Even so, I fell in love with Shun.
It's not weird falling in love with a guy.
Hey, Mio.
Yeah?
I'll go back.
Yeah.
You've cleared out quite a bit.
Yeah, little by little.
I'm sorry it's so sudden.
It's fine, go be a good son to your parents.
Tell me if you need anything.
Alright, thanks.
Mio, what are you doing?
What are you looking at?
It's disgusting.
Just kidding!
Hey, is Hokkaido really cold?
Make sure you don't catch a cold.
I'll write you letters.
Oh, but we have phones now.
Are you alright?
Mio, do you want to come along with me?
Or would you wait here alone? Just like I did...
That's not it...
Mio!
Come with me!
Let's go together, Mio!
I'll go.
I want to be with you.
I don't want to be alone.
Don't cry...
I'm not crying!
Hey, Shun...
Let's go into the ocean!
Come on!
Wait, wait a sec!
Mio!
Uwahh, it's cold!
Yeah it is!
Shun...
Thanks!
I'm so happy!
I don't really get it, but I'm glad!
Well then, I'll be going.
Take care, Mom, Dad.
Caught it!
We've gotta be going soon.
Here you go.
Well then, let's go.
Huh?
It's nothing.
Shun! Mio!
The ferry is departing!
Okay!
Mio!
Yeah!
Ah, I'm head over heels for you!
ああ僕は君にゾッコンだ！
I've already locked onto you!
もう僕は君にロックオンだ！
運命なんだろう 前の恋とは違うぜ
It must be fate, it's different from my previous loves
Although I feel like I say that every time
毎回言ってる気もしなくもないけど
I put my soul into each and every approach!
アプローチも一球一球入魂だ！
ああでもどの球種をとってもノーコンだ！
Ah, but every throw seems to be uncontrollable!
でもあきらめちゃうほど簡単じゃないんだね
But it's not easy to just give up
ろくなことにならない気しかしないけど
Although I know it won't turn out well
I wonder what talent is that? That fair skin and
とんだ才能そうなその白い肌や
ぱっちりした目とその澄んだ声
Those wide eyes and that pure voice
何よりもその出で立ちが
And above all, that dressed up look
That's your speciality, right?
あなたの専売特許でしょう
Ah, it would be pleasure if you would please marry me!
ああできれば是非ともあなたと結婚だ！
But you shrank by how I said it!
だがしかし出かけた言葉は引っ込んだ！
I wonder what in the world this is
こりゃいったい何だろう
I don't know how to phrase my words
言葉選びに困るぜ
なぜベストな言葉が浮かばないんだろう
I can't think of the best way to put it
当落線上ギリギリのセンスや
With the sense of on barely the passing line
いまだかつてない文字の使用例
I used a phrase that hasn't been used before
What's more is where my eyes land
何よりも目の付けどころが
あなた以外らしからぬところでしょう
It is a place definitely unbefitting of you
用もないのに2階の廊下を歩き
Although I have no business there, I walked along the 2nd floor corridor
君が視界に入ったら
When you entered my sight
That's really a huge lucky find!
それはえらいでっかいめっけもんだね！
貸したマフラーに染みついた君の香り
The muffler I borrowed was filled with your scent
When you disappeared from my sight
君が視界から消えたら
ちょいとだけ巻いて嗅いでなんて
I wrapped it around myself and smelled it
I wanted to do it
したかったけれど
But I didn't do it
しなかったけれど
It's hard to describe
筆舌に尽くしがたいほど
Can't express all of my feelings
あらわしきれないこの感情も
It's hard to say it out loud
滑舌に尽くしがたいけど
What I want to express is this 'me'
あらわしてみたいのがこの僕です
I cry, cry, cry and got tired of crying
泣いて泣いて泣いて泣き疲れても
落ち着くことないこの感情も
But this unsettling emotion
あなたがいないと味わえない
If you're not here, I can't taste anything
Ah, I'm head over heels for you!
ああ僕は君にゾッコンだ！
I've already locked onto you!
もう僕は君にロックオンだ！
