00:00Did I buy too much?
00:02My name is Takuto Yoshida, a first-year high school student.
00:06It's become a routine for me to buy ingredients for dinner on my way home.
00:11Hmm?
00:12Is that person over there by any chance...
00:15It's her after all!
00:17Anna Suzuki.
00:19Although we're in the same class, I honestly don't have a good impression of her.
00:23With her flashy appearance and numerous bad rumors, she's what you'd call a punk.
00:29As someone who already finds interacting with people troublesome, I prefer to avoid individuals like her.
00:35Um, excuse me!
00:37Who are you?
00:39I'm Takuto from the same class.
00:41Uh, did my sister do something?
00:44Psh, not really. Just be more careful next time.
00:48Ah, yes! Thank you very much!
00:51Was there something going on?
00:53Yeah, you see...
00:56According to my sister, Anna apparently helped her when she seemed about to fall on the pedestrian bridge.
01:03She noticed her twisted ankle and supported her all the way home.
01:07She kept asking if I was okay until we got home.
01:10She was so cool!
01:12This is quite different from the rumors I've heard.
01:15Maybe she isn't a bad person after all.
01:18I can't just leave it like this after my sister was helped.
01:22I need to do something.
01:25Hey, can I talk to you for a moment?
01:27Huh? What is it? Yamato?
01:31It's Takuto! Here, these are cookies. Please take them if you'd like.
01:36I don't really have to take them.
01:39They're from my sister. It's a thank you for helping her yesterday.
01:44Also, thank you from me for assisting my sister.
01:47I see. If that's the case, I'll take them. Thanks.
01:53What's with that surprised expression?
01:56N-nothing.
01:58I was surprised. She smiles like this.
02:01I didn't know because she always looks displeased with furrowed brows.
02:06Well, I probably won't have to get involved any further.
02:10However, a few hours later...
02:13Big brother! Bring Anna home next time!
02:17Why would I do that?
02:19I don't want to talk to Anna again.
02:22It's not fair that you're the only one spending time with her.
02:26Uh, even if you say that...
02:29This is the first time I've talked to her, though.
02:32Come on, please! My kindest brother!
02:37Ugh. I'm weak against this kind of request.
02:41Plus, it's troublesome if I ruin the mood.
02:44F-fine.
02:46Really?
02:47But don't expect anything, okay? Give me about a month.
02:51Thinking that it would be a good idea to get to know the person,
02:55I decided to investigate Anna for a while.
02:58Three weeks had passed before I realized one thing.
03:01She is actually a very kind person.
03:04For example...
03:06You know, I was supposed to carry the equipment to the chemistry prep room the other day,
03:11but by the time I noticed, she had already done it.
03:14Isn't that amazing?
03:16It was her who carried it.
03:18The senior who always provokes me? Seems quieter lately.
03:23That's because Anna caught the seniors and scolded them harshly the other day.
03:29Wait, Anna is an incredibly nice person!
03:32Casually helping anyone in need? She's too kind!
03:36I thought I was the type who didn't want to deal with people, but it seems I was wrong.
03:41I'm completely different from her, yet I've been misunderstanding her all this time.
03:46How pathetic.
03:48Wait, hold on.
03:50Have I been thinking about her all this time?
03:53That smile from that time won't leave my mind.
03:56Could this be... love?
03:59No, it can't be!
04:01However, once I became aware of it, my thoughts couldn't be stopped.
04:05Even without intentionally investigating, I found myself unconsciously following Anna with my eyes.
04:11One day, something happened.
04:14She looks cool today as usual.
04:17Actually, I should properly become friends with her and invite her home.
04:21Otherwise, my sister will be annoying.
04:24Whoa!
04:26Watch where you're standing!
04:28Ah, sorry.
04:30Ah, this might be broken.
04:32Hey, pay me compensation!
04:34Eh, I didn't bump into you that hard.
04:38Shut up! Just give me the money!
04:40Humans are troublesome after all.
04:44Hey, you broke a bone just from a little bump.
04:48Seems like you're quite fragile.
04:50Huh? What's it to you?
04:53Anna!
04:54Besides, from where I'm standing, it looked like you bumped into this guy from behind.
04:59Tch, too much trouble.
05:02Next time, it won't be for free.
05:05I can't believe she would help me.
05:08Hey, are you okay?
05:10This is the moment!
05:12Anna!
05:13Huh?
05:14I-I like you!
05:16What?
05:17Would you be my girlfriend?
05:19Are you out of your mind?
05:21No, I'm serious.
05:23I see. That's your plan after being helped, right?
05:27Huh?
05:28Are you trying to make me your bodyguard?
05:31No, it's not like that.
05:33That's impossible.
05:35First of all, I have no intention of dating a guy weaker than me.
05:39Sorry, but try elsewhere.
05:42Ah, she left.
05:44She won't date weak guys, huh?
05:46Certainly, I am weak right now.
05:49I don't help people like she does.
05:51Without any significant reason, I just avoid people because it's troublesome.
05:57I need to become stronger.
05:59I'll strengthen my heart so that I can stand next to her.
06:02I won't turn a blind eye anymore.
06:04So, I'll definitely confess again someday.
06:08After that, I actively started interacting with people.
06:11If I saw someone in trouble, I would offer help.
06:14Of course, I also began talking more with classmates than before.
06:19One day, I made it just in time.
06:22I thought I'd be too late.
06:24Huh?
06:25That senior guy from the other day when Anna helped me...
06:29Hey, just come with us.
06:31Skip class and hang out with us.
06:34Didn't I say I'm not going?
06:36Ugh, you're so persistent.
06:39Alright.
06:40What's going on here?
06:42Huh?
06:43You've got nothing to do with this.
06:45Stay out of it.
06:46You were with that girl the other day, weren't you?
06:49Homeroom is about to start soon, so we should go.
06:52Let's get moving.
06:54Hold on a sec.
06:56What?
06:57You guys, shouldn't you get back to the classroom?
07:00It hurts.
07:02Hey, let's go already.
07:05Remember this.
07:07Come on, our homeroom is starting.
07:09Yeah, thanks.
07:13I wonder where Anna went.
07:15She left the classroom before the first period started and hasn't come back.
07:21Anna...
07:22Huh?
07:23What happened to your cheek?
07:25It's swollen.
07:26It's none of your business.
07:28Let's go to the infirmary.
07:30Hey, wait!
07:32Since the teacher isn't here, let's cool it down for a while with this ice pack.
07:36Getting injured in a fight is nothing new.
07:39I'm used to this.
07:40This injury on your cheek isn't from an ordinary fight, is it?
07:44Why do you care?
07:46I know you can't just ignore someone in trouble.
07:49What?
07:50I'm sure that injury on your cheek happened when you were helping someone, right?
07:54Why would you know that?
07:57Even the teacher and my parents see me injured.
08:00They tell me not to fight.
08:02Because I've always been watching you.
08:05Huh?
08:06Always?
08:07Did you forget?
08:08I like you, Anna.
08:10Well, that's...
08:12When you like someone, you watch them all the time.
08:15Isn't that what love is about?
08:17Huh?
08:18So, I know that you're a kind person.
08:21Whatever.
08:23Hmm...
08:24Did I make her angry?
08:26But I need to convey my feelings properly.
08:29Um, Anna...
08:31What?
08:32I like you because of your kind heart.
08:34But please take care of yourself more, okay?
08:37Huh?
08:39You're a weirdo.
08:42After that, we returned to the classroom.
08:45However, something unexpected happened there.
08:48Lunch break is almost over.
08:50Finally found you.
08:52What's happening all of a sudden?
08:55We couldn't catch you at the right time since this morning.
08:58So we wanted to properly thank you.
09:00So, we thought of taking you out.
09:03Huh?
09:05Hey, how about going out together?
09:07Let's have a date.
09:09How about with me?
09:11I'll take you to a fun place.
09:13That's...
09:15Please.
09:16If we don't properly thank you, we won't be satisfied.
09:19We've been troubled by those seniors for a while.
09:22So we really appreciate it.
09:24Oh, no.
09:26Thank you.
09:27What should I do?
09:29Um, I have a favor to ask.
09:32Leave it to us.
09:34We'll do anything.
09:36Just tell us.
09:37Then, after school today...
09:40That guy...
09:43Next day.
09:44Yeah, yeah.
09:45You look great.
09:46Cutting your hair suits you.
09:48You look cool.
09:50Definitely.
09:51Seeing your eyes makes you look cooler.
09:54It was a good idea to cut your hair.
09:56It suits you.
09:57Is that so?
09:59Thanks.
10:00Yesterday, I asked the two girls to help me change my image.
10:04I thought that gaining confidence would also strengthen my heart.
10:08If I knew you'd look this cool,
10:11I would have confessed to you sooner.
10:13Right?
10:16Hey, I might like him.
10:19You two are taking this joke too far.
10:22Hey, you.
10:23Anna.
10:24Oh, well.
10:26It seems hopeless seeing her like this.
10:30No chance for us.
10:32Uh, Anna, what's going on?
10:36What are you grinning about?
10:38Huh?
10:39You seem popular.
10:41Enjoying your conversation so much.
10:43Um, why are you mad?
10:46Huh?
10:47I'm not mad or anything.
10:49What's going on?
10:51She seems really upset, doesn't she?
10:53If you're going to act like that, I have my own plans.
10:57Get ready from tomorrow onwards.
10:59Huh?
11:00With that, she left after dropping those words.
11:04The next day.
11:05What was that yesterday?
11:07I have no idea.
11:09What are you daydreaming about?
11:11Snap out of it.
11:13Uh, Anna.
11:15You won't last a day like that.
11:17Too close.
11:19The distance is weird.
11:21Uh, um, it feels different from usual.
11:24Whatever.
11:26It's always been like this, hasn't it?
11:29No, it's a lie.
11:32Come on, let's go to school already.
11:34What's happening?
11:36Her behavior continued to be strange.
11:39For instance, during lunch break one day.
11:42Hey, where are you going?
11:44I forgot my lunch, so I'm going to buy bread at the shop.
11:48I thought so.
11:50Here.
11:51Uh, what is this?
11:53Eat it.
11:54I made it as a thank you for treating me in the infirmary the other day.
11:58A homemade lunch from Anna?
12:00I'm so happy.
12:02But why is she treating me so well since the other day?
12:05Could it be that she likes me?
12:07No, that's impossible.
12:09She rejected me.
12:11After some time.
12:13I'm so happy to meet Anna again.
12:15I've been waiting for this.
12:17Sorry for being late.
12:19I'm sorry for being late too.
12:21The cookies were delicious.
12:23Really?
12:25Yeah.
12:26By the way, I made this as a return gift.
12:29Thank you.
12:31Then let's have tea together since I'm preparing it.
12:34She looks so happy.
12:36What's up?
12:37Are you jealous?
12:39No, it's just...
12:41Don't worry.
12:42I've got your share too.
12:45Having spent such mysterious and dreamlike days,
12:48one day, I was summoned behind the school building by that infamous senior.
12:53What's the matter bringing me to a place like this?
12:56I don't like your attitude.
12:58You were talking to a girl the other day, disturbing us.
13:02Well, that's because...
13:05Come to think of it, that blonde girl sticking with you lately also gets in our way.
13:10Yeah, she's annoying.
13:12The other day, we were about to get some money from a wimp and she comes.
13:17Should have roughed her up a bit more.
13:22Could it be that her cheek was swollen at that time because of you guys?
13:28What's the problem?
13:31I will never forgive you for what you did.
13:34Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?
13:37In the first place, it's her fault for getting in our way, playing the hero and all, that violent girl.
13:44Enough already!
13:45Huh?
13:47She is a kind person who can't abandon someone in need.
13:50Don't call her kindness useless.
13:53Even when she throws a punch, it's to protect someone, not to harm like you guys.
13:59Tch. Annoying.
14:01Let's shut you up first, you cheeky brat!
14:05Here we go, guys!
14:07You insulted Anna's kindness and hurt her. I won't show mercy!
14:14Why did we lose to someone like him?
14:17I did say I won't show mercy.
14:20Takuto!
14:21Anna! What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?
14:25The girls in the class were talking about seeing you being taken away. Are you hurt?
14:30Not at all.
14:34I'm relieved you're safe.
14:36Anna, I'm glad you came running. I thought you hated me, so...
14:41I-I don't hate you or anything!
14:44Uh, but...
14:46Yeah, that's right.
14:50At first I had a really bad attitude and I'm sorry.
14:54I think I was tough because you reminded me of myself when I was in elementary school.
14:59You know, when I was little, I was bad at talking to people and always studied.
15:05I would decline invitations to play from classmates and spend all my break time alone.
15:11Then, I started getting teased by the boys in the class.
15:16But what I hated the most was not being able to fight back.
15:19I really hated myself for being like that.
15:23But you know, at that time, I happened to see an anime where a punk protected someone in a weak position.
15:30Watching that, I thought I wanted to become a strong presence that could protect someone too.
15:36So, I'm not really the strong person you guys think I am.
15:42I'm a weak person who's not even worth being liked.
15:45That's not true!
15:47Anna, you're not weak.
15:49You understand others' pain and act decisively for someone's sake.
15:53You're a strong and kind person.
15:55And to make sure that you don't get hurt, I'll protect you from now on.
16:01Takuto, thank you.
16:04But I didn't know you were so strong.
16:07Well, you know, kinda.
16:10My family runs a karate dojo, but until I met you, my heart was weak.
16:15I used to find it troublesome to get involved, and I never helped people in need.
16:20But after meeting you, seeing your willingness to lend a hand, I felt the need to change.
16:25I guess I've been useful to you too.
16:29Oh, by the way, why did you start talking to me all of a sudden?
16:33Well, that's...
16:37It's because you seemed friendly with the girls in the class.
16:43Even though you said you liked me.
16:45But I...
16:47Certainly I rejected you.
16:49It felt like looking at my past self, and I didn't like it.
16:52But you've changed, haven't you?
16:56Besides, I realized that you were looking at me straight.
17:00I couldn't forget your kindness, genuinely caring about me.
17:06Does that mean...
17:08I like you too.
17:11A few days later.
17:13The seniors I defeated behind the school building seemed to have been behaving quietly without bothering other students.
17:20As for us, we spend most of our time together.
17:23By the way, Anna, you...
17:28Why are you angry?
17:30You are still calling me just Anna.
17:34What do you mean?
17:36We're a couple. It's obvious.
17:39Yeah, you're right, my baby Anna.
