00:00I'm Shota, a very much ordinary salary man.
00:05I like anime and games, generally it's called a geek.
00:09However I used to be an outgoing kid, like play outside a lot.
00:14I have a childhood friend from zero age whose name is Sana.
00:17We were living in a neighbor, and our mothers were good friends.
00:20So we went to each other's houses and played until we graduated from elementary.
00:25Then we became junior high school students.
00:27Hey, you're a childhood friend with Sana, aren't you?
00:32She looks mature, doesn't she?
00:35She looks cute, doesn't she?
00:39I don't feel anything, because we were together since I was born.
00:43Yikes!
00:44Stop it!
00:45Ah!
00:46Sorry!
00:47Oh man, I envy you.
00:50Has that happened kinda this trouble?
00:52It's never happened like that.
00:55I suppose that's happened only within the manga world.
00:59Some guys started making fun of our relationship.
01:03After she became a junior high school student, Sana suddenly had a more mature body.
01:08She was pretty for all to see, and had a good personality, so she was pretty popular.
01:14I agree that she is pretty, but it's too late for me to like her.
01:17I joined the culture club.
01:19On the other hand, Sana joined the sports club, since we were together less and less,
01:24but on holidays, we often studied together.
01:27Hey, Shota, you're good at math, aren't you?
01:32Please teach me about this question.
01:35Sure.
01:36I studied so hard, because I was happy to be the guy who Sana relies on me.
01:41I guess it's the beginning of looking at Sana as one lady from this time.
01:46Then I asked her to go out with me when I was in second grade of junior high school.
01:50I like you, Sana.
01:51Please be my girlfriend.
01:52I'm sorry.
01:53I have feelings for someone else.
01:59She rejected me.
02:00I was pretty depressed, and cried all night.
02:04After I cried the whole night, I figured out one conclusion.
02:08I would instead choose to be just her friend, as long as I could stay by her side.
02:14From the following day, I pretended to be there was nothing happened between us.
02:18Sana, good morning!
02:20Ah, good morning!
02:23If you have some questions about studying, please feel free to come to me.
02:27Ah, yes.
02:28Thank you.
02:30I treated her as much as I could pretend I was fine.
02:33But honestly, my heart ached.
02:37After then, we entered the same high school, but I had trouble with my friends and stopped
02:41going to school.
02:42Shota...
02:43My mom asked you to come here, didn't you?
02:47Please leave me alone!
02:49No, I came here because I had a promise to Kana to play the video game.
02:53Why don't you join us, Shota?
02:57My younger sister Kana seemed very attached to Sana.
03:02Sana came to my house, but not to say something to me, and she always stayed with me.
03:07I was happy about that.
03:09Sana's feelings struck me, and after a while, I started going to school again.
03:14I rejoined the cultural club and made some friends.
03:18My high school life was full of twists and turns, but I could go on to university.
03:24At that time, we drifted apart due to different universities.
03:28But once we came back to our parents' house, we had sometimes drunk out.
03:32Hey, Shota!
03:33You get a girlfriend, don't you?
03:36My mom told you that again, didn't she?
03:38Well, yeah.
03:39She is pretty.
03:41We talked to each other, updated on what was going on, and we just kept in touch.
03:47The times passed away.
03:49I am 26 years old, and today is Sana's wedding.
03:53I was surprised when I saw the invitation card.
03:56I thought you and Sana would stick together.
04:00Sana is already like one of my family.
04:02Of course, we are still good friends.
04:04Other classmates told me similar things what he said to me.
04:09Sana seems feeling happy.
04:10That's good to know.
04:12I felt like I was seeing a family member off to get married.
04:16The next year, I got married too.
04:19After Sana left her hometown, we got more and more estranged from each other.
04:24Three years later, when I was 30 years old and I was processing divorce because of personality
04:30mismatched, and also my wife was cheating on me.
04:35I've been suffering mentally, felt like the rock bottom of my life at that time.
04:41I've felt really low.
04:43It was hard for me to be alone, so I went back to my parents' house, close to my workplace.
04:49Then one day…
04:50Hi, are you keeping in touch with Sana lately?
04:54I haven't contacted her for a while, but why?
04:58Sana also seems got a divorce.
05:01Really?
05:02It's…
05:03I heard Sana was having a tough time with that.
05:08What do you mean?
05:09I hurried over to Sana's house.
05:12Sana, how are you doing?
05:18It seems that she doesn't get a response at all.
05:20I heard that Sana got a divorce because she fell apart due to Sana's husband's moral
05:25harassment and domestic violence.
05:28Did Sana talk to you about something?
05:30No.
05:32I'm going to come back to see her again.
05:34Sana, who has a cheerful personality, is afraid of people and is confined to her room.
05:41I came by Sana's house every day on my way going back to my house from work, but it was
05:46just I talking to her one-sidedly about nothing special.
05:50It's like the opposite where we are, compared to our old time, isn't it?
05:54You know, I had something tough time when we were high school students.
06:02It hasn't changed that Sana didn't respond to me at all, but I came here to talk with
06:06her every day.
06:08I couldn't let her alone.
06:10Then, one month later…
06:13Hey, Shota.
06:16Um, what's that?
06:18She finally talked to me!
06:21Why do you care about me?
06:24I guess it's because you are my family, who has been growing up together since we were
06:28born.
06:30Am I Shota's family?
06:33You're one of my precious family.
06:36I've always been your family, and I love spending time with you.
06:41Shota…
06:44Can I come in?
06:46Uh…
06:49Sana!
06:51She was far from the happy appearance of the wedding.
06:55Sana!
06:57She was crying for a long time, like a little child.
07:02Since that day, she started to talk to me little by little.
07:06Hey, I saw a commercial for the new sweets at the convenience store.
07:11Why don't we buy it tomorrow?
07:14Well, then I'll have to avoid working overtime tomorrow.
07:18She gradually regained her energy and started going outside with me.
07:23And as I saw her get better and better, I began to feel I want to protect her.
07:28I want to be with you all the time.
07:31You know, this is the second time I've asked for you.
07:34Can you go out with me?
07:36Yes, I have the same feeling about you.
07:40I'm happy to hear that.
07:43We've come a long way to get here, but we finally are together.
07:47And in the year I turned 33, I got remarried to Sana.
07:52We didn't hold a wedding ceremony, just had a dinner party for the two families at my house.
07:58You're going to be my stepsister! I'm so happy! Thank you, Shota!
08:03She was so happy that I thought my sister was going to take my wife.
08:08Even now, Sana and my sister Kana are like real sisters.
08:12After a while, it holds a junior high school reunion, so I told everyone about us on that day.
08:19We're finally married!
08:21We've come a long way, though.
08:23I knew that you guys got together after all.
08:27Happy for you guys!
08:29We were teased by a lot of our classmates, but I was glad to see that Sana seemed happy and smiling.
08:36We live in an apartment because we are too embarrassed to spend our newly married life at our parents' house.
08:43I am pretty happy, but I've got a new problem.
08:47What do you want to eat for dinner?
08:49Well, I want to eat Sana!
08:52My wife is too cute!
08:55When we were alone together, I saw good things about Sana that I hadn't noticed before,
09:01and that's too much attractive for me so that my heart couldn't take it.
09:06When I talked to my friends about it, they laughed at me and said I am just in love with her.
09:11But this is not a laughing matter! It's serious!
09:16Hey, please answer more seriously!
09:19How about pork cutlets?
09:22And the nibble will be Sana, alright?
09:26I can't stop it because I love her!
09:30I wanted to do everything in my power to protect her smile,
09:34so that I would never make her cry again.
