Narration: “I have decided. As a childhood
friend, I will cheer Natsuki on his romance.” There is a scene of
Natsuki bringing Aki to the finish line. At Honey’s, the whole place is
closed [/fully booked] for Koharu and friends. While Koharu drinks her
juice, Konoha exclaims that she is stupid for why did she act like a
matchmaker between Natsuki and Aki. “And by the way, we didn’t know
anything!! Natsuki-kun unexpectedly likes Saionji-chan something.
*hitting the table* What’s up with thaaat.” Sumire asks Koharu if she’s
the only one who knew. Koharu says yes. Konoha exclaims why Koharu
didn’t tell them. Just when Koharu is about to explain, Konoha tearfully
asks why would she bear such a painful thing all by herself. Hugging
Koharu, Konoha apologizes for she didn’t notice that Koharu is in pain.
“I’m sorry for making you perplexed all by yourself.. *Koharu is moved
to tears.* It’s because I’m self-satisfied over getting a boyfriend and
yet I’m actually stupid to death~~” The two friends hug each other in
comfort as Sumire pats Koharu’s head. Koharu says, “It isn’t like that.
Seeing you [Konoha] so happy that I’m also happy. (Even if I’m always
perplexed for a long time but this is my true feelings.) It’s the same
with that thing with Nacchan. *smiles* If only Nacchan is happy, I’m
also happy. (This is the form of my love.)” While watering the plants,
Tomo tells Conan [dog] to move away or he’ll get wet, and how about he
goes to Koharu. Conan seems to be hesitant because it is a mood that he
can’t just intrude. Then, Tomo notices blushing Natsuki. Tomo says that
he’s home. Just when Natsuki is saying he’s home, Tomo splashes his face
with the water from the hose. Drenched wet, Natsuki exclaims what’s he
doing. Tomo tells him to be a bit embarrassed after being so
enthusiastic in the sports festival. This made Natsuki blush and
sweatdrop. He tells Tomo to forget about that, and give him some snack.
As Conan goes to Natsuki, Tomo hits Natsuki and tells him that the store
is booked for today. “Don’t be smug[/elated] just because you have a
girl.” Natsuki is puzzled and mutters that he isn’t smug.
And, regarding Natsuki and Aki, they had become the talk of the
school. The students are shock about those two. A couple of girls had
their eyes on Natsuki. A couple of guys wanted to go steady with Aki and
they are envious of Natsuki. By the balcony, Souji tells Natsuki that
it is amazing for he and Aki are publicly known to be a pair. Natsuki
says that it isn’t so. Souji says that in a way, he ought to be excited
that he can be closer with the girl he likes. Natsuki exclaims who knows
if it is ‘in a way’ and it isn’t like they are a pair of lovers.
Flashback: During the sports festival, Aki asked if they can be friends
first and Natsuki agreed. End flashback. Natsuki says that for them to
be friends, honestly, he doesn’t know what to do next. “Even if I’m been
pushed by Koharu to confess..but I didn’t immediately thought of
becoming something-something with Saionji-chan.” Souji says that he
obviously likes her. Natsuki exclaims that even if he likes, it is very
complex, okay. “By the way, about love-whatever, it is my first. Liking
whatever, and not yet the [right] time [/opportunity] so I’m not sure
what I should do- or say-” Smiling Souji pats Natsuki’s back and tells
him, “Gambatte. And also, treat your cute childhood friend well.” In 1-1
class, serious Konoha tells Koharu to put aside that not cute childhood
friend of hers to the side. Holding Koharu’s hands, Konoha exclaims for
her to develop a new love. Koharu exclaims in surprise. Smiling Konoha
says that her boyfriend told her that he’ll introduce his friend to her
so she’s inviting Koharu to go on a goukon [/group date]. Koharu
immediately runs away. Sumire says that she escaped and about goukon,
Koharu won’t do at all. Pouting Konoha says then about her, the two of
them go on their goukon debut. Sumire looks at smiling Konoha. To
Sumire’s surprise, Kotarou [the timid friend of Natsuki] shouts no.
Konoha asks what’s up with him. While walking around the school, Koharu
wonders about a new love and if she can start a new love while she likes
Natsuki this way. “Love..Is it okay for me to move to the next stage
while having this kind of feelings now..” On cue, a wind blows strongly
at her. After it passed, Koharu hears some piano music. She notices that
it is coming from that old music building. Going in front of the
building, Koharu thinks that it is such a moving music. “I was obviously
told that this place is not currently used.. who could be playing. Ah,
the door is open.” Koharu politely says, “I’ll be intruding.”
Walking inside, Koharu thinks that it is a beautiful place and it is
such a waste that it is no longer used. Then, she is happy for she has
found the door where the music is coming from. She stands at the door,
pauses and sits down by the door. She thinks that it doesn’t matter who
is playing because it is also not good to disturb that person. “Such a
gentle music. *closes eyes* How baffling. My jittery feelings seem to
have calm down a bit. Snore ZZZ.. *wakes up* Ha. *stands up and blushes*
No way, I’ve unexpectedly fallen asleep. And not only that, I’ve
carelessly snored.. The piano had stopped, could it be that I was
heard!?” After a pause, Koharu calls out, “About..about that.. your
piano playing, it is really great! Even if I’m a bit depressed but after
listening to it, I’ve cheered up! Ah, can I still come back and listen
to you play the piano?” The person inside the room presses the middle
SOL piano key, ‘teng’. Koharu wonders if that is the reply. Perking up,
Koharu thinks that it is a lively piano music that seems to have
uplifted her mood. “That’s right, being depressed is of no use. The one
who decide on this is I, myself.” Later on, in the classroom, a girl
bids Koharu goodbye. Holding a broom, Koharu happily greets goodbye back
to the girl. She thinks that today is sale day so she must hurry and go
to the supermarket. She is surprised when Konoha grabs her from behind
and happily says that they are going, going to buy clothes for the date.
Later on, Natsuki asks where Koharu is when today is obviously sale
day. His classmates tell him that she went with Konoha and others. They
also tell him that the girls were noisily talking about date-something.
Natsuki says, “Ha? Date!?” Soon, the girls bought some clothes from
Repipi Armario. Koharu says that store is really cute. Konoha agrees
with her. Sumire says that the accessories are also very cute. Konoha
goes fufu for now, the outfit for the date is foolproof. Koharu just
sweatdrops and timidly says that she hasn’t gone to a goukon before.
Slapping Koharu’s back hard, Konoha exclaims that is why she’s going.
“So-called unrequited love is a form of romantic love that is quite free
[/unattached]. A new love is the same. It’s fine if it starts or not.
Even if you still like Natsuki-kun, you can also start moving forward. I
hope that I can make you, Koharu-chan, to go and enjoy romance.”
That night, Koharu wears the outfit that they’ve bought and shows it
to Koharu on the video phone [through the internet] with a laptop
computer. Koharu tells her that it looks cute. Koharu asks if it is
true. Koharu exclaims that it is true, and tomorrow, how about she let
her hair down. “And also put some light make-up on♪” Koharu writes it on
her notebook – Hair down and light make-up. Tilting her head upwards,
Koharu says that she is really nervous about this date-something. She is
surprised to see Natsuki looking down on her. He asks what is that
date. Koharu immediately sits up straight and calls out his name. Konoha
says that he came out, the smug prince. Natsuki asks who the smug
prince is. Koharu couldn’t answer back when Natsuki asks again what is
that date about. Konoha says that a date is a date. Koharu tries to tell
Konoha that is enough but Konoha tells Natsuki that tomorrow, her
boyfriend’s companion will date with Koharu. Just when Natsuki is saying
‘what’, Konoha continues to say, “Natsuki-kun, don’t make any
irresponsible remarks. You already have Saionji-chan. So don’t object to
Koharu-chan’s..” Natsuki immediately closes the flip of the laptop
computer. Natsuki looks at Koharu who sheepishly tells him that it is a
friend of Konoha’s lover who, after seeing her picture, seems to have
taken a fancy on her. Natsuki frowns and tells her that skirt is too
short. Koharu says is that so. They were interrupted by Natsuki’s father
calling out from the balcony. Holding the wireless phone, his father
says that Natsuki has a phone call from Saionji-chan. Natsuki says that
he’ll quickly go over. While embarrassed Natsuki takes the phone from
his father, Koharu smiles and thinks that Natsuki and Aki would
communicate on the phone. “He looks quite happy, that’s really great,
Nacchan.” Koharu exclaims okay, she’ll also go on a goukon. She looks
for an envelope from her bag. From the envelope, she takes out a ticket
to a certain AQUA theme park. Meanwhile, Aki tells Natsuki that she got
tickets to AQUA theme park so she is asking if he would want to..
Natsuki exclaims that there’s no need to ask, of course, he’ll go.
“Okay, let’s meet at 10am.” Narration: “Tomorrow, a date at AQUA theme
park!”
