"Good evening, everyone." "I'm the manager of the boarding house." "Self-appointed, though." "My cousin Sunako-chan is a shut-in who doesn't like dazzling things." "Are you going to hide whenever something like this comes up for the rest of your life?" "But, it seems like things have changed a little bit recently." "I'll go." "I'll go to the reunion." "Lady?" "This is the real me." "Love?" "I have people who understand me now." "You didn't run away." "I can't run away anymore either." "Hey..." "I want you to go somewhere with me." "What?" "Who could that be, this early?" "Trouble, trouble, trouble..." "Big trouble!" "What is it?" "She said she's Ranmaru's fiance!" "Huh?" "Miss, I'll wait for you in the car." "Thank you, Yanauchi." "Here you go." "Thank you for your concern." "W-w-what?" "A young-lady-beam?" "Dazzling..." "She looks a super proper lady, doesn't she?" "That's right." "Ranmaru's a rich kid too, isn't he?" "Huh?" "Where's Ranmaru?" "The hotel pool?" "I'd drown in my love for you." "Hey." "Ranmaru." "I said you had a guest, didn't I?" "Then, we'll have to take a nap after we go to the pool." "Hey, wait!" "Ranmaru!" "Sorry." "Would you mind waiting a little bit?" "Hey, Takenaga!" "You're Kyohei's nightly partner?" "No, it's not!" "Hurry up and go back." "She's your fiance, right?" "Our parents decided without our consent." "A political marriage, huh?" "Ranmaru is the heir to the Morii Group after all." "Why?" "Love is something sacred!" "So, forcing me into a marriage based on money..." "Okay." "What's your real reason?" "There are 3 things I look for in a woman." "1." "Sexiness. 2." "Just out to play." "3." "Won't cause trouble for me down the road." "That's the kind of woman I like." "She seems like a nice girl." "You're kidding, right?" "She's been incredibly sheltered, and has never talked to men because she's always gone to all-girls schools..." "And, she doesn't change expression." "What's your name?" "I am Kikunoi Tamao." "Oh, Tamao-chan." "It's a pretty name." "Thank you for your concern." "You don't have to speak so formally..." "Just be casual." "Thank you for your concern." "I'll let you all take it from here." "Idiot, this is the 2nd floor." "Why don't you try talking to her?" "You might get along really well." "I did." "We didn't." "When did you talk to her?" "One time 16 years ago." "16 years ago?" "That's right." "Back when that sheltered girl and I were just 5 years old..." "Honey, I think I might drown in your eyes." "Oh my, Ranmaru-sama, you shouldn't..." "Ranmaru." "This is your fiance, Tamao-chan." "Honey, do you want to see sweet dreams with me?" "Thank you for your concern." "If my pheromones don't affect her, she's not a woman." "It might be different now than when you were kids." "Besides, it's not like all women fall in love with you, right?" "Let me show you my abilities." "Excuse me?" "H-here's a refill for your tea." "Thank you for your concern." "Don't hit me with the beam!" "Sunako-chan, are you okay?" "It's been awhile, hasn't it, Honey?" "Thank you for your concern." "Ka-thud." "Your pheromones don't work on her." "Why not?" "Excuse me..." "I came to give you this from my father." "I don't want it." "Take it and leave." "This is the list of guests to be invited to the wedding." "Wedding?" "Whose?" "Ranmaru-sama's and mine." "Whose?" "As I said, mine and yours." "Congrats." "No!" "I've asked you repeatedly to break my engagement to her, haven't I?" "Hello?" "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Give it up, Ranmaru." "Okay?" "Your "play around as much as you can, but marry a lady" attitude is rude to Tamao-chan." "Right, Sunako-chan?" "H-her beam was amazing!" "I'm not telling you to marry her." "But, don't you think it's time you tried seriously dating just one girl?" "What about you, Takenaga?" "How are things with Noi-chan?" "Huh?" "Open up!" "I..." "Actually, looking at it the other way..." "How are you able to love so many people at once?" "Isn't it because he's not serious about any of them?" "Oh." "You're running away from it!" "Falling in love with someone." "Huh?" "What?" "Really?" "I wasn't able to talk about it until now, but..." "I am a man who can only love himself." "What?" "Therefore, I will never get married." ""I can only love myself"?" "Well, it's a kind of complex." "Ranmaru has a complex?" "It doesn't fit him at all..." "Everyone has something they're holding on to..." "Each of us has our own..." "Hey." "Can we go now?" "What?" "I told you, didn't I?" "I want you to go somewhere with me." "D-D-Dazzling..." "Dazzling, dazzling..." "Oh, it feels great..." "What is this place?" "This bright place..." "The Hill of Courage." "What?" "I used to come here a lot with my mom." "When I was a kid, we couldn't stay in the house too much because of me..." "Kyohei-kun, I know you're in there!" "Kyohei-kun, please!" "Make Kyohei-kun come out, Obasan!" "We'd escape from the house and often came here together." "Come with me, Kyohei." "This place is called the Hill of Courage." "It's just a name I made up for it, though." "Underneath this giant sky many people are crying and laughing." "When you think that..." "Doesn't it make you feel like you're not alone?" "Kyohei..." "The world is vast." "People in Africa, America, China..." "Everyone lives under the same sky." "Somehow, doesn't that give you courage?" "It makes me want to try to be a little more optimistic." "That's why it's "The Hill of Courage."" "We'd bring a lunch..." "Wow, looks yummy." "Itadakimasu." "...eat fried shrimp." "Then, we'd start to feel better." "Get our courage back." "But..." "At some point, we didn't have time for that anymore." "You said something to me before, you know?" "How could someone who hasn't had a complex understand you..." "Someone who has never had a complex could never understand my feelings!" "Yeah..." "I..." "I've always hated myself." "Before I left for good, my mom said some pretty rough things to me..." "And I stopped caring about anything." "Stuff like family..." "I tried not to think about it anymore." "But..." "I've decided I need to settle this." "It's thanks to you that I can feel that way now." "So I wanted to make sure I said that to you here." "He said not to tell everyone else because they'd worry." "What did he mean by "settle this"?" "The reason Kyohei left home 2 years ago was because of something to do with his mother." "Kyohei's an only child, and his father often had to leave his family behind for his job." "His mother spent most of her time alone at home taking care of the house and raising him." "It's hard not having anyone to turn to for advice." "I'm going crazy!" "Do something about the sound of the phone!" "Stop it!" "You never should've been born with that face." "Having you around..." "Having you around only makes trouble for me!" "Kyohei, I'm sorry." "I'm just so tired..." "I'm sorry." "That's so mean for his mom to say something like that..." "You know, Takeru..." "Sometimes even your heart can catch a cold." "What?" "If you get soaked in the rain, or overdo it somehow, your body will catch a cold, right?" "It's the same as that." "Kyohei's mother went through a lot of pain and sadness so her heart caught a cold." "For someone who should have loved him unconditionally to not love him because of his looks..." "He thinks that no one will ever see who he is inside." "That's Kyohei's complex." "[Takano]" "Kyohei?" "I'm home."

"I've spent the whole time thinking of you." "I hurt you..." "Said those awful things to you...." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "What are you talking about?" "I'm the one that caused you that worry, so..." "I left without saying anything, always caused you trouble..." "So, I'd also like to say..." "I'm sorry." "I just wanted to make sure I said that today." "Thank you." "Here..." "Thank you." "That's some enthusiastic nose-blowing, isn't it?" "Kyohei!" "Long time no see." "Welcome home." "You're home early." "They need me to go to Osaka right away." "I came to get my luggage." "Osaka again?" "Things must be bad." "So...you came back home." "Yeah." "They transferred me back to headquarters last fall." "Wow." "Are you going to college?" "Yeah." "Your finances?" "Are you doing all right without help from us?" "I'm getting by." "I see." "I'm glad you came." "When I get home from my trip, let's go out to eat together, the 3 of us." "Your father's shy..." "Oh, I know." "I have some delicious strawberry daifuku." "You liked those, didn't you?" "What's wrong?" "Huh?" "Oh, um..." "Nothing." "You've been wiping the table for 10 minutes now." "Did something happen?" "There's nothing wrong." " I'm home." " It's fine." "Welcome back." "You're home late." "Where were you?" "Huh?" "Well, actually..." "Now that it's come to this, I'll just destroy it!" "Huh?" "I'll make that girl hate me." "Huh?" "How?" "Just look forward to tomorrow." "What does that mean?" "I'm gonna go take a bath." "Doesn't he seem in an unusually good mood?" "Yeah." "I wonder if something happened..." "Man, what a pain..." "Um... your tea..." "Huh?" "Quit your yapping." "Leave us alone!" "I'm sorry!" "Why are you imitating me to get her to hate you?" "Well?" "You got a problem, you can leave." "It's nice to see you acting so manly." "Huh?" "She said it's nice to act like that..." "How odd." "Oh, you're so mean, deciding on a wedding in secret without talking to me!" "Is that supposed to be me?" "You're bringing out my motherly instincts." "What?" "Try to be mature about this." "Besides, it's strange ignoring a person's free will to go forward with a marriage." "People who are inheriting a family business have no such thing as free will." "Was he just imitating me?" "It doesn't seem like me." "It's dead-on." "You're always so calm, it pisses me off." "You've left me no choice." "I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but..." "Ran-chan, do you have another new girlfriend?" "I wonder..." "Doing that to her is going too far..." "I will work diligently until I am as attractive as all of you ladies." "My, what a nice girl you are." "No!" "Ranmaru lost that one." "Tamao-chan." "Tamao-chan." "Um..." "I won't say anything bad, but I think you should give this some more thought." "What?" "I don't really understand the rich and powerful, but..." "Are you okay with this?" "Letting your parents decide who you should marry." "Ranmaru can only love himself." "He's a great friend, but as a man, he's the worst..." "What's wrong?" "What did you want to talk about?" "This." "Who is that?" "This is a photo of you and Tamao-chan the day of your omiai." "Yeah, but why..." "She always carries it with her." "In reality she said she fell in love with you at first sight." "Since the day I met him 16 years ago I have adored him." "I wanted to see him just one more time..." "I couldn't suppress those feelings any longer..." "For 16 years, you have been the only person in her heart." "Uh..." "Um..." "I can't give advice about love unless I'm drinking!" "Advice?" "Sunako-chan, Yukinojo-kun asked you to lend her an ear, didn't he?" "Yes." "Come on." "Don't you be quiet too..." "This is an amazing room." "It's like living in a haunted house, isn't it?" "That's not what I meant!" "I was talking about Ranmaru-kun." "I really do understand." "I know someone like me isn't good enough for Ranmaru-sama." "What're you talking about?" "I also believe that this marriage will be impossible." "But..." "For just a little longer..." "Even if it's only an empty agreement, I want to be connected..." "Ranmaru, I think you should talk to Tamao-chan one more..." "No way." "Eh?" "If that's the way she feels, then it's even more reason not to get involved." "Didn't I tell you?" "I'm a man who can only love himself." "There is always a motive for a crime." "Huh?" "There's always a reason something happens." "There's a reason why you can't love anyone else, isn't there?" "Not really, no." "I've always been beautiful, ever since I was born." "What?" "A pretty boy anyone would turn to look at." "I was raised gently, loved by everyone..." "And I just got more popular as time went on..." "And being you, the first time you fell in love with someone was..." "Elementary school..." "No, that's not it." "Probably in middle school..." "But, since you already had a fiance, your parents would never approve." "So your father manipulated things and tore you two apart." "Are you saying..." "He's right?" "Did you promise to run away together?" "But... she never came." "Then, several days later, you saw..." "Your girl, walking around having fun with another guy." "Which means...your first love cheated on you?" "That's right." "I was a pitiful clown." "Clown..." "I realized believing in someone means you can be betrayed." "There's no such thing as true love in this world." "Well..." "I truly understand those feelings." "I'll come again." "Mine." "I understand that." "Huh?" "I can't say "I love you" that easily, you know?" "What?" "There's no guarantee that the person will always be by my side..." "He won't say that he loves me!" "Dazzling, dazzling, dazzling..." "What a heart-breaking love..." "I bought us matching t-shirts, but he won't wear his." "He won't ask me to date him!" "I am in similar circumstances." "If it's that painful the two of them should just give up on love." "Right, Hiroshi-kun?" "We're going to keep living in our dark wonderland, right?" "C'mon, let's drink tonight, Sunako-chan!" "I'm not good with alcohol..." " Thank you for your concern" " Huh?" "What's wrong?" "In the end, I..." "I can only love myself..." "I'm afraid of being betrayed..." "It's okay, it's okay, Ranmaru." "You start crying when you drink?" "Anyway, I get so nervous when I'm with the person I love I get all stiff..." ""You wearing Noh mask or something?"" "That's not true." "Let's stay cheerful." "I'm just not able to say things clearly!" "I'm so scared of breaking up, I can't start anything!" "I'm a coward!" " Noi?" " I'm gonna drink!" "My feelings are one-sided..." "I'm just a nuisance to him..." "That's not true!" "Let's drink, let's drink." "I'm just a twice-divorced man..." "Really?" "They all run away from me." "It's okay." "I'm sure you can find love again!" " They'll leave!" " No they won't!" " You have no idea what it's like." "They'll leave!" " No they won't..." " I'm telling you you're wrong." " Are you listening to me?" "Complexes win!" "I've forgotten about love!" "Eating chocolate and talking to Hiroshi-kun are a lot more fun." "Sunako-san, you're so funny..." "You really get me, don't you?" " I do!" " That's great!" "Sunako-chan, you mustn't be contrary." "I ain't contrary." "You're in love with Kyohei, aren't you, Sunako-chan?" "Huh?" "Is that true?" "It's not." "You love him, don't you?" "When Kyohei's sad, you're sad." "When he's happy, you're happy." "That's what love is." "Seriously?" "No way." "Seriously." "You're wrong." "If you run away, you stay like that forever." "Stupid complexes you can just blow them off!" "Where'd you get that authority, Kyohei?" "What is it, Kyohei?" "Did something happen?" "Actually..." "I saw my parents." "What?" "And it went okay..." "It seems like." "They had a picture of me up." "That's amazing!" "It's an amazing feeling..." "Like I'm lighter now, or something." "I'm so glad I went to see them." "It might seem arrogant to say this right now, but..." "You guys should you know... not run away, face things head on." "Like..." "Something like... "full steam ahead!"" "Right?" "Huh?" "Drink." "You can be generous sometimes too, huh?" "I haven't lived all these years just for show, you know." "Isn't that wonderful?" "But, there's still one more important thing left..." "Yukki, drink, drink." "It's okay?" "Itadakimasu." "What's with you?" "Delicious." "Want some, Kyohei?" " It's good?" "It's good." " Great." "There he goes!" "There are so many skeletons..." "You guys drank too?" "Yes." "We're going to go out to eat together soon, the 3 of us." "Me, my dad... and my mom." "But, it's really scary, when you get right down to it." "We haven't eaten dinner as a family in over 10 years." "So, I'm worried about causing trouble for them again..." "I've thought about a lot of things..." "How... how about fried shrimp?" "If you have the fried shrimp you ate at the Hill of Courage..." "I'm sorry." "That's a bad idea, isn't it?" "You..." "You're a genius." "Huh?" "Your fried shrimp are delicious." "And I'd be more relaxed here than at a restaurant." "That... wouldn't have any meaning!" "Make the fried shrimp yourself and have your mother eat them." "Oh." "You need to make sure you get all of the vein..." "Oh, be quiet." "I can do it however I want." "You will do exactly what I say in this room." "Yes, ma'am." "Is he serious?" "He can't even make rice." "Ow." "Hot, hot, hot." "Dangit." "Hot!" "Hot!" "Kyohei's working really hard, isn't he?" "It's finally tomorrow, isn't it?" "The meal." "You guys shouldn't run away either, face things head on." "Full steam ahead!" "Hot." "I'm not gonna make it in time..." "I can make the rice and miso soup..." "Be quiet!" "Don't talk to me." "This is where the battle begins..." "Is it really okay to cut things like that?" "Oh, amazing." "I can't agree to this marriage." "But..." "For right now do you want to try dating?" "Let me tell you, though, it'll be an adult relationship." "Don't cry later if..." "I understand completely." "You can speak that loudly..." "I'm sorry." "Oh... you're dating." "It's fine." "Don't worry about it." "Don't forget our date tonight." "I'll be waiting." "Are you ready, Kyohei?" "Your mom will be here any minute." "Hot!" "Are you stupid?" "You don't have anything else?" "Shut up and go away." "Looks delicious!" "Kyohei can cook..." " I even took out the guts." " The vein." "You made this, Kyohei?" "Sorry." "I didn't really have time to make anything else." "No." "This is amazing." "It looks delicious." "Oh." "Where's Dad?" "What time can he come?" "Your father said he'd be a little late." "I see." "That's right." "This is Yukinojo and Takenaga." "They're also boarders here." " Hello." " Nice to meet you." "Thank you for taking care of Kyohei." "This is just a small thing, but..." " Oh, thank you." " Thanks!" "This is the manager's niece, Nakahara Sunako." "She's like our cook." "She's not our cook!" "Sunako-san, it's nice to meet you." "L-likewise." "Hm?" "Please, take your time." "What?" "Let's eat together." "You should have privacy, since you haven't seen each other in so long." "We'll go have tea at a cafe near here." "If you'll excuse us..." "Hey." "Hey!" "What's up with them?" "Well, have a seat." "Over here, over here." "Hm?" "She's not dazzling..." "Itadakimasu." "How is it?" "Delicious." "Yes!" "What?" "Eat as much as you want." "That's a relief." "Okaasan..." "Thank you for coming today." "Would you like to eat together like this sometimes?" "Thank you, Kyohei." "I wanted to offer too, but didn't have the courage to say it." "Next time, let's eat with your father..." "The 3 of us, at home." "Okay?" "I'll be waiting." "I'll be waiting for you to come home." "Okay?" "Okay, Kyohei?" "Oh." "Hey." "You should try the miso soup." "It's really good." "She made it." "Sunako-san." "Itadakimasu." "Delicious." "Miso soup is pretty difficult." "Each family makes it differently." "You learned how to make it from your mom, then, huh?" "That's right." "Oh, the other day I went to that hill." "Eh?" "The Hill of Courage." "We went there a lot, didn't we?" "We'd take a lunch with us." "To be honest, I was really scared to go home." "But going there gave me courage." "That's why I made the fried shrimp." "Why are you talking about that?" "I finally thought I was going to forget..." "Why did you have to bring that up?" "Because that hill..." "I never wanted to remember that hill again." "Do you know how I felt when I was there?" " Itadakimasu." " Go ahead." "You don't understand anything!" "I was told I had anxiety neurosis..." "But..." "I was finally better!" "Why did you go out of your way to bring up the one thing I never wanted to think about again!" "Ma'am, your son can't use "justified self-defense" as an excuse anymore." "What are you teaching him at home?" "It's a disturbance to the neighborhood, having those girls crowded around your house all the time." "Please do something about it." "Kyohei-kun, I know you're home!" "Make Kyohei-kun come out, Obasan!" "Okaasan?" "I never should've had you!" "I knew I never should've had you!" "She's finally calmed down..." "She's sleeping right now." "Kyohei." "I think, from now on..." "I don't want you to see your mother again." "I understand." "That's fine." "I've still got my friends..." "I'm pretty comfortable here..." "I'm sorry." "Okaasan..." "Okaasan..." "Okaasan..." "I'm Mine's husband, Atsushi." "There are things you can see because you believe in them." "I'll protect Mama." "Because you tried to understand me..." "We're home." "Ranmaru, you're an animal!" "I couldn't care less." "It's the best!" "Of course he'd be happy if his dad appeared in front of him." "Good night, Papa, Mama." "Busunako, Busunako, Busunako!" "Noi-chan." "Takenaga-kun, be quiet." "Yes." "I want to erase it for her..." "My existence..." "Just leave me alone!" "Never show your face to me again!"
