00:00Our Hotaru's all grown up. You went and got yourself a boyfriend. Way to go, girl.
00:12Congratulations. I'm super stoked for you. Seriously.
00:18The only reason someone like me was able to fall in love is because I got such wonderful advice from the two of you.
00:25So, thank you.
00:26So, what are you two going to do over spring break? You got any fun dates planned?
00:35I don't see a point since we'll see each other at work.
00:41Yeah, Hananoi actually got a job working at the same place I do.
00:48Hey, Hotaru. I wanted to ask you something.
00:51I'd like to spend more time with you if you're up for it. I totally understand if you're not, though.
01:07I... I wasn't sure about it at first, but he promised that he would keep things professional when we're on shift.
01:12Well, as long as you're okay with it. Just remember to not get cozy at work.
01:18Wait, hang on. Can someone like him even work a customer service gig? He has like zero interest in strangers.
01:25He's got zero interest in strangers, huh?
01:37I guess I knew that already.
01:40But then again, there haven't been any problems up till now.
01:44And everyone here is super nice.
01:46So everything should be fine, right?
01:48Um, Hananoi!
01:50Huh?
01:50Can I pretty please take a picture of you?
01:53No way.
01:56Yeah, everyone's super nice.
01:59Hey, Hotaru. Morning.
02:02Oh, morning.
02:05Gosh, I'm not used to this.
02:09That covers it for now.
02:12Alright, let's have another great day.
02:14We'll all do our best.
02:18Hananoi, come with me.
02:20And that's how you do it.
02:23You get all that?
02:25Yes.
02:26The register's your priority.
02:28It's not likely you'll get to everything.
02:30So just come to the floor when you can.
02:32Right.
02:33Hmm.
02:35I may be wrong.
02:36Hmm.
02:37But you're Hinase's boyfriend, right?
02:40Yes, that's correct.
02:42Hmm.
02:42Alright, well, keep things professional when you two are on shift.
02:46You got it?
02:47Just remember, you both are here to work, not flirt.
02:50I give thanks to this world and to Hotaru.
03:00I still can't get over the fact that you two get to work together.
03:04I'm jealous.
03:06If only I could have been so lucky at your age.
03:09Even Yao is popular with the ladies.
03:11Oh, come on.
03:12Would you quit acting as if I get all the girls I want?
03:15Truth be told, I haven't had much luck in that area.
03:18I gotta say, though, I have a heck of a lot more respect for people who look out for their friends.
03:22Even if they've never been in love.
03:24You know?
03:24The manager wants these magazines bundled.
03:32Do you mind?
03:33I'm on it.
03:36Hey!
03:37Hananui!
03:41Oh.
03:42That's right.
03:43I was worried about how things would be between him and Yao.
03:49But it seems like everything's fine.
03:54Oh.
03:58Nice work.
04:03Well, looks like you finally decided to drop the act.
04:07So, hey.
04:08I know I made a pretty bad impression when you and I first met.
04:12But I promise Hotako and I are just friends.
04:14Since you and I are co-workers now, what do you say we try to get along, yeah?
04:19That's enough.
04:20Knock it off with all that Hotako stuff.
04:22I don't know much about your past.
04:24But from my perspective, you don't seem to be friends anymore.
04:31Stay away from Hotaru, you got it?
04:37Yikes.
04:38I don't think he likes me much.
04:44Hananui!
04:45Thanks for waiting.
04:46Good job today.
04:48You ready to go?
04:48How are you getting along with Manager Kuroi?
04:56Hmm...
04:56As long as I'm with you, I'll be just fine.
05:00There must be friction of some kind.
05:03Manager Kuroi can be pretty strict.
05:06Maybe I can smooth things over.
05:08I'll keep an eye on the situation.
05:11By the way, Hananui?
05:13You want to go to a cafe or something?
05:14Mm-hmm.
05:17Okay, so...
05:18Now that we're officially dating, we should discuss our policies going forward.
05:24Our what?
05:25The other day, you talked about how we already have what's important to us.
05:30So I was wondering if you could elaborate on that.
05:33And tell me all the things you wouldn't want me to do in our relationship.
05:38While I may not be able to honor everything you say,
05:41I still want to talk about it.
05:43It's important we're on the same page about what we don't want.
05:46I can't say I've thought about it.
05:50What about you?
05:52Oh, me?
05:53I don't know.
05:55Uh...
05:55Well...
05:57Maybe...
05:59Let me think about it.
06:02Things I don't want you to do.
06:04Uh...
06:05I don't want you to leave me behind, I guess.
06:10Huh?
06:12Yeah.
06:13Just don't leave me behind.
06:16Okay, time to restock some shelves.
06:24Huh?
06:26It's done.
06:31Hello, how can I help?
06:33Oh?
06:34What on earth is all this?
06:37Yeah.
06:38We got a massive order of dictionaries for new elementary school students.
06:42They have to be delivered soon.
06:44I guess I'll stay after closing and get all of them wrapped up.
06:48We'd like to help out, too!
06:50We can just plunk away at it during business hours.
06:53Thanks, you two.
06:56That would be really helpful.
06:58Then it's settled!
07:00Okie doke!
07:01You two can show off your awesome rapping skills!
07:03Right!
07:04You're kidding me.
07:18The three of you managed all of this?
07:20You know you can count on us.
07:22We're the experts of quick rapping jobs.
07:25Plus, it was four of us.
07:27Hana know he helped, too.
07:29Hana...
07:30He already knows how we wrap books, but he just started here.
07:35He said he watched how other people did it, and practiced the method that we use at home.
07:40You see, uh, that's just the kind of person Hana know he is.
07:44He's an amazing student.
07:45Hmm.
07:46Great work today.
07:52Call it a night.
07:54Sure.
07:58Goodness.
07:59I'm impressed.
08:00You're just a part-timer, so why put in so much effort?
08:06I don't really care what you or the others think of me, but I want to do my best so I don't make Hinesay look bad.
08:13What's that mean?
08:14I get the impression you don't like me very much.
08:18Huh?
08:19Why would you say...
08:21Oh.
08:22Just remember, you both are here to work, not flirt.
08:28Uh...
08:28Yeah, sorry.
08:30My bad.
08:30That wasn't cool.
08:31Forgive me.
08:33The thing is...
08:35I mean...
08:37Supervising someone who was a regular customer is a bit awkward for me.
08:41I guess I wasn't really sure how I was supposed to treat you, you know what I mean?
08:45Because, well...
08:46You used to shop here all the time, right?
08:50You'd always buy the books I displayed.
08:52It's hard to forget something like that.
08:54But give me some time.
08:56Today really wore me out.
09:00But hey, manager Kuroe got me some cocoa as a thank you.
09:04Yeah, he actually gave me a coffee.
09:06I got it in my head he was scary.
09:08But he's actually nice, huh?
09:10Oh, are you still having some trouble getting along with him?
09:17No.
09:18But...
09:19Mr. Kuroe recognized me from when I used to come into the shop before I started working there.
09:26So it's...
09:28Embarrassing.
09:29Is he blushing?
09:34He is!
09:35He's all red!
09:37Working together is going a lot better than I thought it would.
09:41Regardless of why he wanted to.
09:43It can't be a bad thing for Hananui to be open to new experiences.
09:49Something wrong?
09:50Oh, the bus is here.
09:59Well, good night, Hananui.
10:00See you later.
10:04Please stay with me.
10:06A little longer.
10:17I'm really happy I get to spend more time with you at work and all.
10:20But we can't be close like this unless you and I are alone.
10:24Yeah, I guess you're right.
10:38Um, Hananui?
10:42I figured that if we do this more often, you'll get used to it.
10:47I don't know if I'll ever get used to doing this.
10:51Oh, Theru.
10:52Ever since you told me you liked me, I felt so light.
10:56Like I'm floating.
10:57Yeah, me too.
10:59I feel like I've been walking on air.
11:01Someday, when you and I finally share our first kiss, I hope you'll be just as excited as I will be.
11:14So whenever your heart is prepared and you want to, give me a signal and I'll be ready for you.
11:21Does that sound okay?
11:22I can't even begin to imagine it yet.
11:28But if we keep doing things at our own pace, it'll be fine, right?
11:33Huh?
11:37Keiko invited you over to his house?
11:39Are you gonna go?
11:40I am, but this is my first time.
11:43And...
11:43Keiko said...
11:45His family has a gigantic golden retriever and I'm freaking out!
11:49Whoa...
11:51And that's why I wanted to talk to you.
11:55Since you have a dog, I was wondering if you had some insight.
11:58Like maybe some tricks to befriending them more easily?
12:01Tricks, huh?
12:02Oh!
12:05Why don't you bring her over?
12:07Where did that come from?
12:09Oh, come on.
12:10Wouldn't it help for her to actually spend time with a dog?
12:13You can come over too, Hananowi.
12:17I'll ask my friend if she's okay with it.
12:19She might be scared.
12:22Keiko, there's no dog yet.
12:25Just leave me behind!
12:27You must go on without me, Yotaru!
12:29Okay.
12:30Please come inside when you're ready, alright?
12:32Sorry to drag you along, Hananowi.
12:37Are you okay with this?
12:39Seeing as it's Yao's place and all.
12:41Yeah, it's fine.
12:43More importantly, are you going to be alright being at his place?
12:46I'm just wondering,
12:48because it seemed like you were trying to avoid him.
12:50Huh?
12:51Really?
12:52Really?
12:53What'd I do to give you that impression?
12:57Um, I didn't mean to,
12:59but with Yao,
13:01we've just...
13:02known each other for a long time,
13:04so things are sort of awkward is all.
13:07Today's an extra special opportunity, though.
13:10If it means that I can help Keiko out,
13:12I'll do whatever it takes.
13:15Thanks for having us over!
13:17We're coming in!
13:19Oh, is that Hotaru?
13:25Okay, maybe it's just the name,
13:27but doesn't she look a little bit like you?
13:30Wah!
13:30Oh, you're right!
13:32You two have the exact same eyebrows!
13:34Come to think of it, Yao,
13:37weren't the two of you in the same class in elementary school?
13:40Yep, in the sixth grade.
13:42I met her in the second year of junior high.
13:45I bet Hotako...
13:46I mean, what was Hinase like back then?
13:49Huh?
13:49What'd he call me?
13:52I guess she was a little quieter back then.
13:54Like she had her guard up, you know?
13:56Huh?
13:56Oh, yeah!
13:57I was pretty surprised when I heard you had guy friends.
14:00Like Yao.
14:00Kyo, please come on!
14:02That's ancient history now!
14:04She was pretty darn quiet in elementary school as well.
14:07And you know,
14:08Hinase was so pure,
14:09if anyone was ever in trouble,
14:10she'd always try to help them.
14:12You were such a sweetheart!
14:13Sounds like her girl's always been like that, huh?
14:16You two are acting like I'm something special.
14:20Oh!
14:20I know!
14:21I've still got her old yearbook!
14:22Here, I thought we came over here to play with your dog.
14:25Oh, yeah, you're right.
14:28Sorry about that.
14:31Hotaru,
14:31these people are my friends,
14:33so be nice, kay?
14:35Hey, dear!
14:36Come here, puppy!
14:38Woof!
14:38Woof!
14:39Woof!
14:40Try not to startle her.
14:43You've got to be gentle.
14:46It's alright.
14:47I can try before you, Kyo.
14:50Kay.
15:00See, Kyo?
15:02It's totally safe.
15:03It's hotaru, it's hotaru, it's hotaru, it's hotaru, it's hotaru!
15:12Who, me?
15:13Oh?
15:15Ah!
15:20Ah!
15:23Oh, I guess this is fine.
15:26You see?
15:27Hey, Hananoi,
15:28why don't you come pet little Hotaru as well?
15:32Nah, I'm good.
15:32Come on!
15:35You've got a friend to make.
15:38Uh...
15:39There, there.
15:49That's a good girl.
15:51Hotaru.
15:55I feel like this is something I shouldn't be witnessing.
15:58Uh-huh!
16:01Wow.
16:05Hey, I think I'm starting to get used to this.
16:08Oh, really?
16:09I'm glad to hear it.
16:10And it's all thanks to Yael.
16:13Mm-hmm.
16:16I gotta thank you, too.
16:17All this trouble for a friend.
16:25Hinase is a really good person, huh?
16:29Hinase?
16:30Huh?
16:31You're the one who told me not to call her Hotako, weren't you?
16:34Now that I think about it,
16:36she asked me to do the same thing before, too.
16:39She's really nice, but she can't stand me.
16:42I wonder what I could have done to make her hate me.
16:45You know anything?
16:48No, I don't.
16:49All right.
16:51You want to know something super weird?
16:53I feel as if I've heard the name Hananoe somewhere before.
16:56There a chance you and I have met elsewhere?
17:06Nah.
17:10I'm so glad.
17:12It seemed like Kyo was able to start getting over her fear.
17:15You seem happy.
17:17Yeah.
17:18Kyo was thrilled, and if she's happy, so am I.
17:21I've got to find a way to thank Yao for all his help today.
17:24I'm a little bit jealous.
17:26Huh?
17:27Well, today, you went the extra mile to help Asami overcome her fears, so...
17:32She must be happy.
17:34It really wasn't that big of a deal.
17:36Oh, no?
17:37I don't think that many people would go so far out of their way to help a friend with their problems.
17:43Oh.
17:44Uh.
17:45Kyo has always been the one to help me out, so it's only fair I should do the same now.
17:50You heard what she said at Yao's.
17:52I was a pretty gloomy kid back when we were in middle school.
17:56After everything that happened in elementary school, I was terrified to make new friends.
18:02Honestly, I tried really hard to keep to myself.
18:05But that was when...
18:09Kyo came into my life.
18:11I was actually pretty scared.
18:15Kyo was so open about her passion for love, it was intimidating if I'm honest.
18:19But for some reason...
18:24I had so much fun when we were together.
18:28After a while, even though I didn't understand it, the way Kyo described it started to make the idea of falling head over heels in love with someone sound truly wonderful.
18:40Without her, I might have never realized that I wanted to see what it was like to fall in love with somebody for real.
18:52And also, I've never been very good at the whole girl talk thing, so it makes me really happy to know I can help her out like this.
19:03And I want to thank you too for all your help today, Hananui.
19:05Sure.
19:10So, the person who was there for Hotaru when she needed someone was Asami.
19:17No way.
19:18I can't compete.
19:22Then there was Hotaru.
19:23She was such a cutie patootie.
19:26I mean the dog, of course.
19:28Everyone was going on about Hotaru today.
19:31It started to feel kind of weird.
19:33Like when Hananui was...
19:37Um...
19:38Ignore me!
19:43There, there.
19:45You will always be my one and only goodest girl, Hotaru.
19:51That isn't what I meant at all!
19:55You're blushing.
20:03It's been forever since I've seen her smile like that.
20:11She looks so happy.
20:19Wait.
20:20It can't be.
20:21I can't stand it.
20:31Why didn't I help?
20:33Back then.
20:33You know what I meant at all.
20:52There, there.
20:56There, there's a new baby.
