Kazuya Kinoshita
She showed up at noon, so two hours?
Kazuya Kinoshita
Add to that the train fare to Shimoda…
Kazuya Kinoshita
Twenty-five thousand yen! That’s a lot!
Kazuya Kinoshita
This always burns a hole in my wallet.
Kazuya Kinoshita
But given all I put her through even twice that wouldn't make up for it.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Damn that Kibe…
Kazuya Kinoshita
Who punches a guy before getting the full story?
Kazuya Kinoshita
Just how undeserving does he think I am of Mizuhara?!
Kazuya Kinoshita
I know, I know.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Well, I did show her off to him a lot.
Kazuya Kinoshita
You reap what you sow, I guess.
Kazuya Kinoshita
You’re so stupid, Kibe.
Kazuya Kinoshita
You should know there’s no way Mizuhara would go out with me for real.
Kazuya Kinoshita
You just don’t get it man.
kun
Can I drop the formalities?
Chizuru Ichinose
Y-Yes, go ahead.
Kazuya Kinoshita
What? Kibe and Mizuhara?!
Kazuya Kinoshita
What are they doing by themselves?
Kazuya Kinoshita
And things seem kinda awkward!
Kazuya Kinoshita
Wait, is he asking her out?
Kazuya Kinoshita
Yeah, no.
kun
Are you and Kazuya really breaking up?
Chizuru Ichinose
W-We are.
kun
Oh,
kun
I’ve known him since we were kids.
kun
I’ve watched him his entire life, including what a flop he is with the ladies.
kun
Well, I almost gave up on him when he got rejected three times in one month, though.
kun
By the same girl, no less.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Why bring that up?!
kun
So I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when he showed up with a cutie like you.
kun
He’s trash, isn’t he?
kun
He’s a wish-washy moron who always needs others to clean up his messes, but he still believes everything will work out for him.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Hey! Tell him he’s wrong!
kun
But sometimes, I think it’s a real talent to be so stupidly optimistic.
kun
Once, in grade school, our class was growing morning glories over the summer.
kun
But I knocked over his planter by accident.
kun
I couldn't tell where the seeds had flown off to.
kun
I just grabbed the dirt laying around and put it back.
kun
Amazingly, his sprouted first.
kun
It was clearly just a weed, but he was adamant that it was a morning glory.
kun
The teacher tried to stop him, but he showed up first every morning to water it.
kun
And he even kept a journal for it.
kun
What a moron, right?
Chizuru Ichinose
Absolutely.
kun
I felt bad about the whole thing, and decided to apologise to him once summer break ended.
kun
But then…
kun
What do you think happened?
kun
The plant blossomed.
kun
Into a flower prettier than anyone else’s.
kun
It was a rare flower called “Hibiscus t-something-num.”
kun
It won him the gold medal in our research project.
kun
He was sad because it wasn't a morning glory, but I was mad jealous of that flower.
kun
It never would've bloomed if he’d given up and stopped watering the plant.
kun
Reality’s always out to grind us down.
kun
The rent’s through the roof, the neighbourhood strays always poop by your front door, the manga you love goes out with a whimper, and stuff.
kun
But you know what?
kun
When you let reality win and stop dreaming, you die inside.
kun
When you stoop up for Kazu-chin at the pub, I thought he’d finally found someone who noticed his positives.
kun
I don't know what happened between the two of you…
kun
But if you’ve just grown sick of him being a dumbass, could you give him another chance?
kun
If her ever pisses you off, I’ll beat him up for you.
kun
He’s not a bad guy, honestly.
kun
In the end, I know he’ll make sure you don’t regret it.
kun
Oh, here. I bought these at the convenience store.
kun
I figured you two needed some alone time.
Chizuru Ichinose
Oh, I couldn’t possibly accept them!
kun
Don't worry about it. Let me do this for you.
kun
My best bud landed the best girl, but I’d done nothing to congratulate you two.
kun
Kazuya?
Chizuru Ichinose
He’s running?!
Kazuya Kinoshita
Hey, I’m sorry…
Kazuya Kinoshita
I’m sorry I hit earlier!
kun
Shut it, you dolt.
kun
Well, I’ll leave you two to it.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Hey, wai-
Kazuya Kinoshita
A-Awkward!
Chizuru Ichinose
This one’s yours.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Right…
Kazuya Kinoshita
Mizuhara, uh…
Kazuya Kinoshita
I’ll go.
Chizuru Ichinose
I can’t say no after that speech he gave.
Chizuru Ichinose
If it’s just us on the ferry, we won’t have to worry about putting on an act.
Kazuya Kinoshita
A-Are you sure? What about your friends?
Chizuru Ichinose
I’ve been gone two hours now.
Chizuru Ichinose
At this point, all I can do is call them and say I left because I felt sick.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Oh… Sorry again.
Chizuru Ichinose
But this really is the last time.
Chizuru Ichinose
Kibe-san doesn't know our situation, so he’ll accept it if you tell him we talked it out and decided to break up.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Y-Yeah, you're right.
Chizuru Ichinose
It’s the last time. After this, we’re done.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Y-You okay?
Kazuya Kinoshita
Are you actually sick?
Chizuru Ichinose
I’m fine. It’ll go away after a night’s rest.
Chizuru Ichinose
I’m more than happy doing this to hep get your story straight.
Chizuru Ichinose
I don't want this whole thing hanging over future jobs.
Kazuya Kinoshita
Sorry… I didn’t expect it to turn into such a big deal.
Chizuru Ichinose
Like I said, you did nothing wrong.
Chizuru Ichinose
You can’t get over your ex, right?
Chizuru Ichinose
Then go get her back will all you’ve got.
Chizuru Ichinose
If there’s something you want, you have to go all out to claim it for yourself.
