"You really hate me right?" "I don't like you." "There's no mistake, Hidaka is interested in Onozawa." "In 10 years time, I will no longer be in this world right?" "Watch out!" "The fact that you saved me, means that you didn't want me to die right?" "I love you ..." "I loved you ..." "So, I don't want to hate you anymore." "In 10 years time, the thought that we will hate each other ..." "Just what will I become in the future?" "Sorry for asking you out on your day off work." "I don't have a date today anyway," "I saw the emoticon you used while I was on the train," "And I also wanted to see your boyfriend." "Don't be surprised!" "He's ..." "Ah, I know," "He looks like that guy before right?" "But he's a lot better than him though." "Well, I don't believe it though," "That unrealistic story about him travelling through time." "If it was really true, isn't your boyfriend detestable?" "Actually, pitiful?" "Coming back in time on purpose just to ask you to do something like that," "That's what I think too." "Rika!" "Sorry, you had to wait for me." "No, it's ok." "This is Hiroshi-san." "And this is Ami, a colleague of mine from work." "Hello, pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet you." "They don't look similar at all!" "Eh?" "He's young, and he looks cool," "I definitely don't see that pitiful guy in him," "Ahh, Ami!" "Let's go!" " Ah, I'm so looking forward to it!" " Ah, let's go." "Over there." "Oy!" "Oy!" "Oy!" "Ah!" "Hello!" "This is Ami." "How is it?" "Ah, it's all fine." "Hello!" "Hello." "This is the space elevator." "This is?" "Eh, it seems a bit small." "Ah, well right now," "Firstly, it'll climb up into the sky," "Our goal is to make one that can reach geosynchronous orbit." "And if we advance on that idea," "It'll be able to carry people." "There's a lot of different types aren't there?" "The design of the space elevator hasn't been decided yet," "So all the entrants have designed their own ideal type." "And from now, they'll all climb up that long cable attached to that balloon." "Eh?" "It's going to climb up this?" "If you imagine," "On the far side of this cable," "The huge expanse of space stretches out." "Eh ..." "Hey." "We're you really talking about him back then?" "Shh!" "Don't worry about that and imagine!" "I just might see it!" "Right!" "Don't tell me, you're love birds?" "I think we should start now!" "Ami-chan!" "Come on, it's already started!" "Ah .." "Hurry up!" "Without further ado ..." "Start!" "Look!" "Eh?" "That?" "Yea." "That's awesome!" "It's climbing up, wow." "Woah, it's so high." "It's almost at the goal." "Do your best!" "It's touched it!" "It's reached the goal!" "Congratulations!" "This is really tasty!" "Thanks a lot!" "All this is really tasty!" "That's good, you're all happy with it." "That's right," "I brought these today," "My recommended books." "Chandler and Hamada-sensei's "Eyes of the Future"?" "Yes." "My favourite books." "If you have some time, have a read." "Eh?" "Thanks." "Maruyama!" "Can we have a look at the climber?" "Ah, ok!" "Sorry," "Ah, it's alright, go ahead." "Leave some karage for me." "Moriyama, you come too." "Eh, leave this for me too." "Ah, sorry for waiting!" "Sorry for interrupting you while you were eating." "Where to?" "Over there." "Ami ..." "Did he just suddenly get really cute?" "Not really." "Hey how does he get money from this kind of stuff?" "It's volunteer work." "There's other people who are interested in this, and there seems to be a lot of volunteers." "Eh ..." "They're adults yet they have and it takes money and time," "The fact that they work so hard at this," " It's admirable isn't it?" " Wouldn't you have an uncertain future?" "Eh?" "Don't tell me you just said that you'd have an uncertain future?" "Don't tell me you said it was admirable?" "Yea." "I think it's admirable." "It's not a problem about things like money," "But, if you get married, money is important." "I haven't thought about marriage yet," "And if it's about a decent salary, we already have one." "Certainly, you are planning on working until retirement age." "Of course!" "Because I want to be an editor forever like Hisako." "I definitely want to get married and stop working by the time I'm 30." "Your friend still hasn't married in 10 years time." "Ami... give it your best ..." "Hmm?" "Wait" "Wait a minute." "Hmm?" "Ah!" "What's up?" "Eh?" "What are you doing here?" "Oh!" "What, it's just you." "What are you doing?" "Please leave, Hiroshi is here!" "At this time," "I'll fix a student's broken climber and then return to the lab." "But, if anyone that knows you sees you ..." "Then I'd leave." "I just missed working on the space elevator." "I only just wanted to take a look again." "I see ..." "Right now," "Munich Technical University's one seems to be the fastest." "Ah, if only we had a lighter and better motor." "If only we had taken into account the twist in the cable" "Don't tell me the result!" "Because I'm looking forward to it!" "You're not bored?" "No ..." "It's fun." "Ah, but ..." "Ami might beg to differ." "I see ..." "Well, I give up." "Today," "I'll do as you say." "Umm ..." "Ah ..." "When are you going back?" "Exactly, 13 days time." "Well, on Tuesday afternoon," "Will you let me ask you about the future?" "Why we turned out bad in 10 years time." "I want to properly talk to you about it." "Ok." "I got it." "I wonder who that guy is ..." "I don't know why but," "I'm in a daze." "I might be space-time sickness." "Space-time sickness?" "Yes." "You came from 10 years in the future on August 22nd at 8am," "To the present day 8am and," "From the 21st till now, it's been a few days hasn't it?" "To account for that time," "That unnatural effect impacts on your body and," "You may end up with some bad conditions." "I see ..." "By the day, Hayato said something about your younger counterpart meeting a young girl." "You seem to be in very high spirits." "That's right isn't it?" "At this time, more than half my mind should be on the space elevator." "Well, let's see if I'm right." "What your brain is thinking of right now." "What I'm thinking of right now?" "Yes." "Right now, you're in love with her." "Am I right?" "I think you already know but," "I ..." "I came back in time to prevent us from ever meeting." "But that strategy failed." "So I had no option but to directly ask you." "I've also met the professor, and if you do as I say," "I planned to leave right after all that." "I've met with you countless times," "I never had the intention of having nice chats with you." "It's not really fun anyway." "I didn't come here to have a fun chat with you." "I have work after all." "What's bad in the future," "I just want to hear the reason why." "2 years after we married," "Because I was being transferred," "You stopped working." "Eh?" "I stopped working?" "I got hired by a research company in Detroit." "And with that, we both left Japan." "Because we went to America," "I developed new high-tech materials, and succeeded as a researcher." "For your sake, we returned back to Japan," "And we even bought a grand apartment." "We were getting money," "Compared to when we just married, we were very well off." "But ..." "I'm back!" "It's been a long time, how about we go out for a meal?" "I have to go to a research meeting at Munich from tomorrow," "The commentating job has been confirmed." "Ah!" "This, your favourite Oyamaken cheesecake." "That's nice isn't it?" "You're slowly gaining." "And I'm slowly sinking." "Sinking?" "Are you in a bad mood again?" "I ..." "I'm working hard for your sake." "Don't say stuff like, "I'm doing this for your sake"!" "That's right," "A successful and great husband," "And a great wife that supports him." "Everyone in the world thinks like that right?" "But, this life ..." "I never once even hoped for this kind of life!" "It's fun for you isn't it?" "Everyone says your great, women love you!" " It's become a dream!" " Why?" "But what am I?" "I'm just someone who's associated to you!" "I said stop it!" "This life ..." "I never once even hoped for this kind of life!" "Cut it out Rika!" "I have a dream!" "If only I didn't marry you!" "Because of your success," "I've sacrificed my dream!" "That ..." "It seems like we are very well off in the future." "I mean, right now, no matter how angry I am now, I don't throw cheesecakes or break things." "Because it's wasteful if I do." "I changed you." "If I became rich," "I thought you'd be happy." "Umm ..." "I have something I want to ask you ..." "Children?" "It's a pity," "I see ..." "In a few years time," "You won't even let me touch you." "In the past, I also thought," "I'd marry you," "And that we'd grow old together," "And that we'd love each other forever." "Even if others failed," "I thought to myself that definitely won't." "But that didn't work out." "Hating each other ..." "Will definitely happen." "I see." "You know, I," "Easily being happy," "Somehow, I don't believe that." "From as far back as I can remember I was always hit by my dad." "My mother left with some weird man," "That's why," "Guys I've met have run away from me or cheated on me." "Somewhere, I thought it was unavoidable." "But ..." "I don't want to give up on this love." "I'll definitely be happy with Hiroshi." "I believe that." "So that's why I" "Stop looking at me with such a cute face!" "Eh?" "Why can't you understand?" "If you say it like that." "I've come back all the way here," "Just what exactly should I do?" "That's ..." "If you're like that then," "I'll leave a letter to myself." "A letter?" "Yes!" "A letter!" "In that letter, I'll write about how good young women are." "In the future," "I'll be rich," "I'll be popular," "Tons of young women will flock to me." "So, when I'm around 30, if I do hit her." ""Be a noble single man"" "I'll write in that letter and pass it on to him." "What's with that?" "If I do that, when I go back into the future," "When I open the door to my house, a young and cute wife will be waiting for me." "Someone like you." "A wife who's nice and won't criticise me." "You ..." "Don't tell me you came back to marry a young woman?" "It's not me, it's you!" "Eh?" "No ..." "It's nothing." "Today's discussion is yet another failure." "Wait a minute!" "I'm sorry." "Recently, my condition hasn't been too well." "I'll have to excuse myself." "You," "In the past," "About me." "You said I looked like the grandma in the cafeteria right?" "Ah, yea I did." "Ah ..." "Wait" "Special of the day." " Ah, stop it." " Exactly like her." "In other words, our relationship is," "Even if we realise that we're not related," "It's one where we can talk honestly right?" "Eh?" "You realised?" "I'm sorry." "I've made some squid." "Ah, professor!" "Thanks a lot." "Ah ..." "It smells great!" "Rika ..." "Spoke with some guy we don't know." "Eh?" "On the day of the contest." "They looked like they had a really fun chat." "They even agreed to meet another time." "Ah, but," "He definitely seems much older than me." "He might be her older brother though ..." "Rika only has a little brother." "He didn't seem like a little brother ..." "He wore a coat," "He somehow seemed like a strange guy." "Who was that guy?" "Well, well, well, it's not something you need to worry about." "These days, it's perfectly normal for a girl to have one or two male friends right?" "That might be true but ..." "The two of them were laughing," "There just seemed to be this weird feeling." "Hayato." "Just how much would you know about him?" "Eh?" "Ah!" "It's alright!" "Ah, I'm definitely not worried about it, so ..." "And also, I trust Rika a lot." "Ah!" "Let's drink!" "Hey, let's toast!" "Let's toast." "Hayato, I'm sorry!" "Cheers!" "Forgot to open it." "Ittadakimasu!" "I'm sorry for making you worry." "Eh?" "You're worrying about the call about the Akutayama Prize right?" "If I was nominated, I should have gotten a call today or tomorrow, but," "It should be me." "Even though I was told by my boss to arrive by 9, I'm sorry for being late." "Ah, don't worry about that." "Ah!" "What should I do in return?" "Anything's fine." "After all, today is your success party." "That's right." "We need to think of the binding for the book soon." "Until we consult about it, I've bought all your books up until now." "Even though it's so heavy, you brought all this along with you?" "I always have them with me whenever I'm meeting you." "Onozawa." "I'm really happy that you're the editor in charge of me." "These 3 books were written because of you." "Hidaka..." "Yes?" "If ..." "What would you do if you had to give something important up for someone you love?" "Ah, sorry for suddenly asking you such a weird question." "You're a romance professional so," "Suddenly," "Just out the blue, I thought I'd ask." "Love is sacrificed." "Eh?" "No matter how important of a thing you throw away," "You'll see the pitiful side." "Just how much can you give up for your partner." "That's ..." "Love's true form." "That's what I think." "Is that right?" "I see ..." "Ah, but why did you suddenly ask?" "Ah ..." "Nothing ..." "I just thought how I would answer that if my boyfriend asked." "Boyfriend?" "Ah!" "We didn't have an argument or anything like that." "We've never argued." "He's a really kind person." "Kind?" "Yes." "Boyfriend?" "Yes!" "But, it's weird isn't it?" "That I'm worried about something which won't eventuate." "You can't sacrifice it." "Eh?" "Sacrificing something for love," "It's a stupid thing to do." "The idea of you giving up something for your partner," "It's glorified in young girls manga but," "Self-sacrifice is, in the end," "Just self dissatisfaction." "Ah ..." "I see ..." "A sacrifice for love?" "I used to be a bassist in a punk band." "Punk?" "Yes, one from the UK." "But earning a living from music is hard." "Around that time was when I first met Azusa." "We married, and now I work for her." "Ah I see ..." "But, I never even thought once that I was sacrificing something." "This kind of lifestyle is fun." "Dad!" "Ah!" "Sorry, it's time for afternoon tea isn't it?" "You know," "Mum said that she doesn't want to see Onozawa." "Sorry?" "I see." "Sorry, I guess we'll have to leave it there today." "Ok!" "A sacrifice for love?" "Sacrifices and compromises are important." "But you know," "There are things that you can't compromise." "For example," "How you want to use your money, or how you plan to raise children." "The way you fold your laundry as well." "You know him, he folds the cuff of his shirt up." "I really hate that poor looking folding method." "But you know, when I fold them, he refolds them all." "Ah, thank you." "For me," "I definitely won't sacrifice anything." "I read a book called "The Happy Prince" in primary school," "I thought that it was impossible." "But, that," "That's Oscar Wilde's masterpiece." "People who cry reading that book are really ..." "I mean, he has everything in the world he should be happy!" "Definitely impossible!" "You know that story," "Being a prince is great but, the swallow's devotion is so passionate," "Come to think of it, Yuuta!" "Who is she?" "Mariko, my girlfriend." "Although you can see it already," "She's a "S Character"" "Now that you mention it, weren't you going back to her place." "It seems like the power's out at her place," "So, I thought about living together for a while." "Thanks!" "Yuuta!" "W" " Wait." "This is my place though." "It hurts!" "Well, they've made up so I'll just let it slide." "The two of them laughing together." "It somehow felt like it was weird." "I'm so happy!" "Mariko didn't cheat with Kenji." "Is that right?" "It's more important than anything else." "And, how about you?" "Is the investigation ok?" "It's a pity but, I don't have anything to say about the results." "It's futile and I'm just letting time pass." "Are you serious?" "Sounds like my high school life." "I'll contact you again later, maybe tomorrow." "I don't have much time now." "See you." "What a great voice." "Not really." "It's not my effort." "Really?" "Onozawa seems to really be in a bind." "And that's my effort's results." "So that she'd regret and start worrying," "I even said things I didn't want to say." "I want her to keep doing her best at work." "She can train up juniors, and I think she'll become an even better editor." "So, if what you say is really true," "Then I think it would be better to break up." "Stop it ..." "Don't look at me with those threatening eyes." "I guess that's right." "I'll find some way to do it." "Hello." "What, it's just you mum?" "I'm waiting for a very important call at the moment." "Leave that for tonight." "I'm hanging up." "I'm sorry about that." "Ah, don't worry." "It seems like your mum is worried too." "Sorry," "We've had 6 calls since we've been here and 4 of those have been from my mum." "And, it's a private number too." "[Private Number]" "Hello!" "Mum?" "I get it" "Eh?" "Yes." "I'm Hidaka." "Hidaka Kouji." "Yes." "Thank you." "Yes." "Please excuse me." "Onozawa ..." "Was that from Akutayama?" "Yes ... ah," "I've been nominated." "Congratulations." " We did it!" " We did it!" "But you know, "A Moment's Love, Eternal Love" was nominated before but it was rejected after." "But the fact that you got nominated two times itself is great!" "I need to contact the office as well." "Hidaka's "Bokuame" has been nominated!" "We'll need to print off more copies!" "I'll leave the paper cover replacement to you!" "Understood!" "You've sold so well again!" "Welcome!" "Hidaka's newest book," "Nominated for the Akutayama Prize." "It's been a long time." "I'm glad that I got to meet you again." "Today's cookies were a new kind weren't they?" "I want you to hear me out on one thing." "Yes?" "About your stalker from the future." "How will money be in 10 years time?" "Money?" "Like the bills and coins." "Well, if you know small details like that," "When it comes to writing, your imagination will widen." "Ah ..." "Ok." "Well, this." "Please excuse me." "This ..." "The plot for my new work." "In reality," "I didn't want to write about you." "But," "I did get the idea from you." "Well ..." "From that stalker from the future?" "I thought I might ask you for any more weird ideas." "Thank you very much ..." "Don't make such a weird voice." "If it even seems boring for bit, I'll stop writing." "I'll have a look as soon as possible." "I'm looking forward to it." "I did it!" "Thank you very much!" "Happy birthday!" "Sorry for being late." "Don't worry about it." "Thank you." "I'm really sorry!" "I was so into work that I didn't notice the time." "Ah, I see." "It's perfectly fine." "But," "Are you ok?" "Yes, I'm fine!" "Here you go." "Happy birthday!" "Ah ..." "Thanks." "I bought that in a rush, so it's nothing ..." "Is it ok if I open it?" "Ah ..." "Socks." "It'll be my favourite." "Until there's holes in it." "Ah, and," "I thought I'd make something at your place the next time we have a break." "Maybe we'll make a cake, and make a wonderful meal too." "Well ..." "Is it ok if we go to your apartment now?" "Eh?" "Even if there's something that would be bad if someone saw it." "Ah, it's a bit untidy." "Like books and manuscripts are all over the place." "That's alright, I don't mind." "Actually ..." "That, and" "Thanks." "Let's go." "I'm sorry." "Yo!" "This is my little brother, his girlfriend and ..." "The band members." "Ah, Mu-chan, Satoshi, and" "Yuuta!" "He can't remember them all like that." "Understood." "Ah, I'm back." "Kenji's back so," "Cheers!" "Sorry, I was living alone about a month ago." "No ..." "This is interesting!" "This is a nice cone shape." "It's a beautiful isosceles triangle." "You also have a nice hole don't you?" "Eh?" "Ah ..." "Ah, this!" "I wanted new socks," "So a hole opened up." "Eh?" "Have we met before?" "Eh?" "No ..." "I don't think we have." "That's right!" "I remembered the wrong person." "So, maybe I'll make some other stuff?" "My sister's cooking is really nice!" "Really?" "[Hidaka]" "Ah, I've already decided on dinner tonight." "Yes, I'm sorry." "Yes." "Have a good evening." "Excuse me." "Hiroshi-san." "Ah ..." "I think I'll call it tonight." "Your room looks like it's bursting at the seems as well." "Ah, sorry, even I didn't think there'd be that many people." "Who was it from?" "Ah ..." "It's a call from work." "The authors call whenever they want so," "We can't be away from our phones." "I see." "Ah." "I'll walk you to the station." "I'll just get my slippers." "Ah, it's fine." "I'm a guy so it's fine." "I'll be worried about you coming back safely." "It's perfectly fine though ..." "Well, Sunday," "I'll see you at your place." "Ok." "I'm looking forward to it." "Six." "Seven." "Eight." "Nine." "Doubt." "Did I say something bad?" "But now I can read that manuscript again!" "Eleven." "Twelve." "Thirteen." "Strange." "[I'm waiting at South Juukan Bridge." " From the man from the future.]" "When did he put this ...?" "Ok, one!" "Hurry up, two." "So it was you." "What do you want at a time like this?" "You're feeling sick again?" "Periodically," "I get these symptoms." "If it's like this," "I might have to go back earlier than planned." "Thanks." "How about canned coffee?" "It's fine." "That coffee is too sweet." "That's right," "Is it alright if I have some money?" "Are you really in that much trouble?" "Ah, not that," "I just want to have a look," "Coins in the future." "Ah." "Ah!" "Wow!" "It's a 1,000 yen coin!" "Hey, is it ok if I have this?" "Yea." "Don't show anyone else." "Ok." "Ah ..." "But, I might tell Hamada-sensei that there are 1,000 yen coins." "Her new work is about the future and it sounds really interesting." "I've already read that book." "Really?" "Nine years ago." "I got it as a present from you." "Eh ... isn't that nice." "I envy you." "I wonder what kind of book it is?" "I also want to read it already." "Ah ..." "Ah!" "Don't tell me!" "Because I'm looking forward to it." "Are you alright?" "Ah, I'm not that well." "But, I don't want to go back either." "There's no deeper meaning." "Ah, it's not that meaning." "Just that ..." "Tonight ..." "It's so rare that the stars are so nice tonight." "Really?" "It seems usual, you can't really see any." "If you imagine," "On the far side of this sky," "The huge expanse of space lies beyond." "If you imagine," "Above this cable," "The huge expanse of space lies beyond." "That's right ..." "These memories ..." "Will they really all disappear?" "When you go back to the future?" "Most likely they will." "I see." "It's a bit sad isn't it?" "Hey," "Ah!" "Are you alright?" "Are you ok?" "Hey!" "Hey are you alright?" "Hey ..." "Wait, wait a minute!" "Rika!" "Hiroshi ..." "Who were you talking with?" "Just who exactly were you with?" "!" "I'm sorry ..." "I ..." "Rika!" "To be continued" "As according to your wishes we've broken up." "So rest easy and go back to the future." "If I win the Akutayama Prize," "Please go out with me." "It's my victory!" "Stop hiding and get out!" "Maruyama, you can change the future as much as you want." "Subtitles by kaheiyeh."
