mune ni idaku kimi he no kotoba
胸に抱くキミへの言葉
These words I hold for you in my heart,
itsuka tsutaetai na
いつか伝えたいな
Someday I want to say them to you.
koboreru binetsu takanaru kodou
零れる微熱高鳴る鼓動
My fever was on the rise,
hajimari wa wakaranai kedo
始まりは分からないけど
I didn't understand where it began,
ichido kidzuita kesenai omoi
一度気付いた消せない想い
but when I realised my inerasable thoughts
uso ni wa mou dekinai kara
嘘にはもう出来ないから
I couldn't lie any more.
deaeta no ga arifureta guuzen da toshitemo
出会えたのがありふれた偶然だとしても
Even if it's a coincidence that we met,
tokubetsu na imi wo kanjiteru
特別な意味を感じてる
I can feel something special.
kimi no soba ni irareru koto wo
キミのそばに居られることを
To be able to stay by your side,
itsumo kami-sama ni kansha desu
いつも神様に感謝です
I'm forever grateful to God.
mayoi no nai kimi no yokogao
迷いのないキミの横顔
At your unfaltering face,
zutto nagamete itai
ずっと眺めていたい
I want to gaze forever.
kimi to futari sugosu jikan ga
キミと二人過ごす時間が
Passing time together with you
yuruginai chikara wo kureru yo
揺るぎない力をくれるよ
gives me a steady power
fui ni ukabu kimi he no kotoba
ふいに浮かぶキミへの言葉
Suddenly, these words for you came to mind,
itsuka tsutaetai na
いつか伝えたいな
Someday I want to say them to you.
It's a little burnt, but it should taste all right.
I think.
I didn't know it was this difficult.
This really made me realise how much I relied on her.
How's Kaede?
She's not feeling well yet.
It'll be fine.
Eat it before it gets cold.
No thanks.
I'll eat later with Kaede.
Oh?
Right.
Sorry, Rin.
It's okay.
Kaede.
Kaede, do you want to go with us?
Everyone's worried about you.
Well, I'm off then.

Good morning, Rin-kun.
Good morning, Rin-sama.
Kae-chan's still not feeling well?
No, not yet.
Is she really feeling that bad?
Hey, Rin-kun, did something happen to her?
Could you give her a little more time?
I'll tell you someday.
I'm sorry if that worries you.
No, if you say so...
But if there's anything we can do, please tell us.
Thank you, both of you.
On rare occasions, people or things have been randomly transferred from one realm to another.
Do you hate me now?!
That's not it.
If I have faults, I'll fix them.
I'll learn more about what kinds of food you like and get much, much better!
So, please don't say you're moving out!
That's not it.
Is it because of Asa-senpai, then?
If so, I'm really-
That's not it.
All I want is to take care of you,
to cook for you,
to do laundry for you...
Be honest.
Is that really what you want?
We've lived together for so long.
I can tell, you know.
I know how you feel, too.
It's my joy to serve you!
Only you!
Kaede...
That's why.
That's why I'm leaving.
No, that's why I have to leave.
I don't understand!
Please don't leave.
Please don't leave me, Rin-kun.
And what's important here is the effect of the time paradox,
but at this point, there is no...
You look lonely.
Asa-senpai.
Eat this if you want.
Eating only bread and noodles won't keep you going.
Thank you.
Is Kaede still feeling sick?
Well, yes.
This is really good!
Good job, Asa-senpai.
Thank you.
And what's the truth?
The truth?
Well, it's strange that Kaede won't see Sia-chan and Nerine-chan.
Is it my fault?
No, it's my fault.
I wasn't being fair to her.
There were some things I left unclear until now.
I've always taken up all of Kaede's time.
Rin-chan.
I finally realised that wasn't healthy.
And that's why I decided to move out.
I don't regret it.
Nothing has changed about me since then.
I can only speak harshly towards her,
even though I know it will only sadden her.
Again, I will...
But this is the only way.
Rin-chan...
Komorebi Avenue
A part time job should give me seventy thousand... no, sixty thousand...
This is going to be tough.
Rin-kun?
What are you doing in front of a realtor's?
Oh, it's just...
An apartment?
Oh, come on, Rin-kun!
You're making us think you're going to move.
Rin-kun?
Rin-sama?
There's something I want to tell you two.
Kaede.
Kaede, I'm coming in.
Kaede?
Are you serious, Rin-kun?
Why?
I really think I have to.
You're not tired of living with Kae-chan, are you?
Of course not.
Living with her has been a blessing.
Then you don't have to move out, do you?
Living alone is hard.
Cooking, laundry, and things like that are really a lot of work.
Kaede's been doing all of those by herself.
All for me.
And only for me.
Rin-kun, it's morning.
Rin-kun, here's your lunch.
Here, Rin-kun, take this digestive.
Because it's about Rin-kun.
I took everything for granted.
Both Kaede and I thought this was how we would be the happiest.
But somehow, we were deceiving ourselves.
Both Kaede and I were still stuck in the past.
We've been standing still all this time.
It's my joy to take care of you.
Kaede has been channelling her guilt towards me.
She believes that she did something terrible to me, and she's been trying to atone for it.
And I was afraid that she might lose her will to live like before.
If it was her joy to serve me, then I told myself that it was fine.
But it's you two who made me realise that I was wrong.
What's important is to walk forward towards new ground.
That's what you two taught me.
Rin-kun.
It's important for both Kaede and me to take that new step.
You two taught me that.
Rin-sama.
That's why I'm moving out,
so I can find where I'm the happiest, like you two did.
Good luck, Rin-kun!
We'll be cheering for you, too.
Well,
I was just reminded of the how harsh reality can be, at the realtor's.
Living alone isn't easy.
You'll be just fine, Rin-kun.
Would it be too pushy?
Besides, what am I going to say to Kaede when I see her?
No!
Maybe I shouldn't go...
Is this a gift for someone?
No, it's not...
Um, it's for someone who's sick.
Rin!
Primula...
Why are you here?
What's up?
Did something happen at home?
Kaede's gone!
What?!
I wish...
...you were dead!
Rin-kun...
Kaede...
Asa-senpai...
Looks like it'll rain.
I thought I'd pay you a visit.
You'll catch a cold if you stay out in the rain.
Do you know why I've been absent from school?
I heard from Rin-chan,
although I sort of knew anyway.
I see.
Then, you heard he's planning to move out?
Yeah.
I wasn't good enough.
Kaede...
That's obvious.
I was so cruel to him.
But still I took care of him, served him, and worked only for him...
That was my way to atone.
But I realised all I wanted was to be with him.
I said I was trying to atone, but all I really wanted was to stay with him.
I wasn't being honest.
Honestly,
I wanted to take care of him because I loved him.
I kept taking care of him,
because I loved him.
I wasn't being honest to him.
I hid the real reason I was staying with him...
I think Rin-chan knew...
I can't forgive myself.
So...
It's only natural that Rin-kun chose you and not me.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Kaede.
It's okay.
Rin-kun made the choice by himself.
Besides, I had already decided that I will keep loving Rin-kun no matter what,
but I will never be loved by him.
Kaede...
Rin-kun will be happy with you, won't he?
Actually, I'll be the one who will be happy because I'll be with him.
So you really do love him...
It surprised me, too.
Good.
He was suffering all this time just because of me.
So, please make him happy.
Kaede...
But, if I can be selfish about one thing,
I want to watch him...
All I want is to watch him from afar.
So please let me keep loving him.
Forever.
Kaede!
I'm so sorry.
I'm... so sorry.
I'm so selfish!
I knew both your feelings.
But...
No, I'm the one being selfish.
I knew how you felt from the moment I first met you.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Kaede!
Kaede?
Kaede!
Rin-kun.
Thank goodness.
I was looking for you.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing letting yourself get so wet?
I was talking with Asa-senpai.
I asked her to take care of you,
since I can't take care of you any more.
Kaede...
Kaede, I'm in love...
Please don't say it!
Please don't remind me!
I already know, but I don't want to hear it from you.
No.
I have to...
I have to tell you,
and make it clear once and for all.
I love Asa-senpai.
I asked myself,
who do I need the most right now?
Who do I want to be the closest to?
And who do I love the most?
It wasn't me, then?
You're very important to me, too.
We've lived together for so long.
You've been with me this whole time.
More than anyone else, you were always watching me.
How could I hate the person who I spent more time with than anyone else?
I still love you, but just not in that way.
Please don't love me.
Please... don't love me.
Please... don't...
Please...
Kaede.
...don't...
I'm sorry, Kaede.
Please don't...
But I still...
I still love you!
Rin-kun!
I'm home.
Welcome home, Kaede.
Rimu-chan!
Why are you...
Oh, that's because...
Kaede, you're soaked.
I'll go get a towel.
I thought you might be cold when you got home, so I made stew.
I was only trying to do what you do.
Anyway, I think it'll warm you up.
Rimu-chan...
I see...
I didn't know so much went on between you and Kaede.
I shouldn't have asked you about it so casually.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I was just desperate to keep her alive.
That's so like you.
I go with my instincts.
I know how she feels.
I couldn't really believe that she hated you.
When she joined the cooking club in junior high, I asked her why she was joining.
"I want to get better at cooking to repay him for his kindness."
"I hurt him by making a false accusation."
"But I'm who I am today because of him."
I knew she was referring to you, Rin-chan.
But I didn't know what happened between you two, and I really wanted to know.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
I wanted you to know, too.
You did?
Why?
Well, I think it's for the same reason you wanted to hear it.
Oh, your face is turning red.
It's nothing.
Anyway, why did you come to my house and ask me to go for a walk?
Did you need to talk to me?
Yes.
I told Kaede about you.
I hadn't told her directly before.
And it's not just her. I've never told you either.
Asa-senpai,
as a man, I swear, I love you more than anybody else.
Please go out with me.
Asa-senpai?
About your story earlier...
How Kaede hated you and how you suffered so much...
Wasn't it hard?
I'd be lying if I said no.
But I only wanted to protect Kaede.
No matter how badly she treated you?
The only good thing about me is that I'm tolerant.
You're strong.
That's not true.
You are, just like she is.
She is?
She sacrificed herself.
She endured being treated and spoken to harshly,
and yet she kept protecting her only child.
So, are you going to protect me?
Just like the person I admire the most in this world?
I will, no matter what.
You were pretty cool just now.
It made me feel a little fuzzy inside.
So, this is my answer to your question.
