Run, hurry up!
Tooru-chan is waiting for you.
Okay.
Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything?
I'm fine.
Be careful!
Yeah. I'm off.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Good morning, Run-chan.

oshaberi ga hajimaru
お喋りがはじまる
And our idle chatter begins.
On Rainy Days, Take A Bath
Yeah? Really?
Huh? I did text you yesterday after dinner...
What? Really?
I didn't get any texts from you.
Run-chan.
Your socks.
I forgot to put the other one on!
How embarrassing.
I might as well go barefoot.
R-R-R-R-
R-Run-chan?
P-P-P-P-
What about your panties?
Even if it's me, how did I not notice?!
How did I not notice?!
Don't kneel down! It'll be visible from the front!
Was it because I was sleepy? For such a petty reason?
Don't worry. Everybody forgets things.
Is this really happening?
Usually not their panties, though.
Tooru. Just then...
Just then, you thought, "but not their panties," right?!
Run-chan! Don't run!
Again, huh? You sure have it tough, Tooru.
I'm sorry, Tooru.
You know, I'm just not a morning person.
When I'm sleepy, I tend to space out.
You think that's the problem?
She's already wearing them.
Yeah, you know...
I just thought, maybe...
That's right! Run!
What's up?
You know the notes from yesterday's afternoon classes...
May I copy them?
Oh! Now that you mention it, didn't you leave early yesterday?
Sure you can. There you go.
Thanks a lot. You're a life saver.
What language is this?
Japanese, obviously!
I got drowsy during class.
So it's not just the mornings!
Is it a bit messy?
N-Not at all!
Thanks.
Ask me if you can't read something.
Thanks!
Hey, Yuuko-chan.
Let me have a look afterwards!
I don't mind. Once you're done, pass it on to Run.
Got it.
There.
Hey.
Nagi, are you nearsighted?
How bad is your vision?
It's 20/20. These glasses are fake.
Why are you wearing fake glasses?
Because if I don't wear these...
...I see things I'd be better off not seeing.
You're... not talking about...
Right now, Yuuko, behind you...
Well, I'm only kidding.
Nooooooo!
Like I said, I'm joking.
You are really fun to tease!
Actually, I am nearsighted.
Cut it out! I can't deal with scary stuff.
You got me as well.
You're a good actress, Nagi-chan.
You should be in the theatre club!
I am in it.
I'm playing a ghost, though.
You're funny...
...or not.
This summer, I have received two or three letters from you.
In them, you wrote, "I want to gather a considerable amount of knowledge in Tokyo."
Ah, I want to go to the toilet.
"Best regards."
Erm, teacher?
What is it?
Erm...
Oh no!
"I want to go to the toilet," would be way too embarrassing to say!
My head hurts.
Yuuko, that's your stomach.
No, I mean...
Teacher, excuse me!
As I'd like to go to the toilet, may I take Yuuko-chan to the infirmary on the way there?
Sure, go ahead.
Run?
Let's go, Yuuko-chan.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Run. You saved me there.
Never mind. I had to go as well.
You're also going to the toilet?
No, actually...
Infirmary.
Run!
Hey, Run, what's wrong with you?
Do you feel ill?
I don't know why, but I feel nauseous.
Maybe I caught something.
I feel sick.
Do we go to the toilet? Or the infirmary?
No, toilet... toilet... to... to...
Oh yeah.
Tooru!
Yuuko-chan. That's not gonna...
Infirmary
Run, hey!
Run, pull yourself together!
Yuuko, are you there?
Tooru! Run suddenly fainted!
And the nurse has the day off. What are we going to do?!
Calm down. How about asking another teacher?
Be quiet, you two.
She'll be fine.
She was just deprived of sleep.
It's raining.
I haven't got an umbrella.
Neither do I.
It was sunny this morning.
It's just a light shower.
Can we make it if we run?
Wait, Tooru. Watch for a second.
I discovered this recently.
I attract the rain.
You don't have to stay there. Come back already!
Yay, now I'm wet.
You sure go overboard.
Who's that?
He's staring at us.
And Run-chan is in such a state right now...
Run-chan.
Let's go over there.
Great.
I'm glad I work at this school.
Hand in the training camp consent form to your teacher or to Yamada.
Run-chan, we have to dry you off quickly.
There, I'm done!
Tooru, wear this!
Ta-da!
Now you don't need an umbrella!
Isn't this bad at my age?
I'd expect this from an elementary schooler.
Hm. Yeah, you're right.
Dressing alike is a little...
Then one of us can-
That's not my point.
What is this?
What?
Should we go in?
Hey! Nagi-chan! Yuuko-chan!
Stay away from me!
Good grief. I was wondering what you were up to.
Run, you're completely soaked!
My house is nearby. Should we go dry your clothes?
Really? Thanks!
But it's still...
Wow.
Do you think there's somebody here who attracts the rain?
So, what are we going to do?
It's a real downpour, but we could just run through it!
It won't be as scary if all of us get drenched!
If it's just to Nagi's house...
This sucks.
I don't want to get soaked, so I'm calling a taxi.
How unusual for a high schooler!
Do you think it'll stop if we wait?
Unlikely.
Like I said, let's get a tax-
There!
Nagi-chan's place is this way, right?
Hey!
Wait, I'm coming too!
You moron, wait up!
There, there!
Wait, don't leave me behind!
People usually get the blues whenever it rains, but they are so cheerful.
This is youth!
It's falling. It's falling!

I'm home.
Excuse me.
Get in already.
I want to take a bath right now.
Huh? My brother is home.
You have a brother, Nagi?
Onii-chan, I have friends over right now, so don't use the bathroom!
Nagi-chan, do you call your brother "Aniki" or "Onii-chan"?
I call him "Aniki"!
So here we are.
Only two people can fit in the bath at the same time.
We're going to split into two groups.
Ready, go.
Rock, paper...
Well, I'll go first with Run then.
Have fun!
Let's get changed then.
There we go.
Now that I think about it, I've never talked to Tooru alone.
What should I do?
Isn't there anything to say to break the silence? Anything?
Yuuko?
Y-Yes!
Let's put something on.
There's a bunch of DVDs.
You're right.
"The True Story of a Scary Urban Legend" or silence,
which would you prefer?
A true dilemma!
All right, put your clothes there.
Sure, right here?
Well then, let's jump in already.
Woah, who are you?
I'm Run, you know.
Yeah, I do know that.
However, bangs sure can change how a person looks.
Who are you?
I'm tired of getting that reaction.
Ah, this feels great.
It's really refreshing.
But we have to get out soon...
You're right. We have to let Tooru and Yuuko-chan in, too.
There's only the two of them in my room now.
You think they'll be all right?
Sure they will.
They get along great.
Yeah, I guess they do...
This is bad! This is bad! And it's not getting any better!
I know! If I close my eyes, it's not scary anymore.
Now I want to scream...
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
You can now go and take a...
Hey Yuuko, the bath is free.
Yuuko-chan!
Yuuko-chan?
Yuuko-chan!
Yuuko-chan?
Yuuko-chan!
This is bad! Yuuko-chan!
What happened here?
Phew, that was really scary.
Finally we're having a bath, right, Tooru?
Let's jump in then.
Hey...
Tooru, do you ever get scared when you have to close your eyes as you wash your hair?
When I was little, I couldn't stand shampoo at all.
Shampoo got into my eyes!
What was that for, Tooru?
Where's the shower head?
My eyes, my eyes!
Hey, Yuuko! You're being too noisy!
Stop it already!
Geez...
I thought I was a goner.
My senses are going numb.
Run, look, I can see an oasis.
Nagi, Run!
What are you up to?
Yuuko. How was the water temperature?
More importantly...
More importantly, turn off the heater.
I thought we could dry our clothes.
Delicious.
I feel rejuvenated.
Don't make me worry like that.
They're pretty dry.
I wonder if the rain will stop soon?
Doesn't seem like it yet.
It sure is raining hard.
On rainy days, my hair kinda falls flat.
Mine puffs up, and I can't keep it together at all.
Maybe we have different hair types.
Yuuko-chan, let me touch your hair!
Sure thing.
Woah. Yuuko-chan, your hair is beautiful!
Tooru.
You have no split ends at all, right?
You wanna play?
Of course not!
These clothes are cute, aren't they?
Don't move! I'm doing something important here.
Sure.
What's up with this?
Don't move!
Ah, I lost!
You're going to continue playing?
I'm going to beat Nagi's records.
That's nice of you.
Your nails are quite pretty, Yuuko.
Not at all.
Are you doing something to them?
Nothing in particular.
Well, in that case...
Ta-da!
This feels nice, but it's kinda awkward...
T-Tooru, what are you...
Don't move!
Keep still!
Geez...
What am I supposed to do?
houkago yotei mo nan mo nai shi
We have no plans after school,
It doesn't look like it's stopped yet.

because it's raining.
It sure is raining hard.
Personally, I like the sound of the rain.
uchi ni shuugou
We gathered at my house,
Yeah?
kimi wa fudan kara sunao ja nai keredo
As usual, you weren't being honest.
Ah, I think I know what you mean.
I know, right?
Nagi-chan, close your eyes and listen too!
kyou wa kitto wakaru hazu
Today will definitely be understood.
Well, no. I don't...

I just want to see your smile.

I want to laugh with you.
Well, you're right. It's not bad.
But somehow, it sounds like a grill.
I'm getting hungry already.
Run-chan.
It's mine.
Again?
See you then. Be careful on your way home.
Sure thing, thanks for the umbrellas.
See you tomorrow!
Thanks for having us over.
See you.
Hey, that umbrella is really cute.
You're right.
It's still pouring.
When's the next train coming?
Onii-chan, you can use the bathroom now.
Ten minutes later
I told you to be careful, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
