This is the moment when one of the endless possible realities actually becomes reality.
It happened when I came across Muroto-senpai wearing a swimsuit.
Muroto-senpai...
You're so skilled.
Muroto-senpai!
Maeda-kun?
Are you staying after school for your club activities?
Yes.
I want to take some good photos for the photography exhibition.
You can take some, but don't use them for anything weird.
I-I wouldn't...
Sensei, I'll go get a swimming board.
Don't worry about it. Since you'll be teaching me, I'll go get it.
You'll get lost, won't you, Sensei?
Maeda-kun, don't say anything unnecessary.
Y-Yes, ma'am...
Sensei, you're learning how to swim?
Yes!
Since I'd like to get a license to teach elementary school,
I need to be able to swim fifty metres.
So you asked Muroto-senpai to...
There's more to it than just teaching me!
In exchange, I'm helping her study.
A mutual relationship, huh?
Exactly!
I want to reduce her responsibilities, even if it's just one thing.
She quit the swimming club due to her dedication to her job as the student council president.
It's the least I can do.

「撮って!」なんて無防備だね
How reckless of me, asking you things like “Take one of me!”

I'll make sure to capture your dazzling smile.
Staring at your true appearance
It just started raining!
I wonder if my camera's okay.
Geez, what's with the rain?!
Muroto-senpai?
Maeda-kun?
You got caught in the rain, too?
Yes.
We won't be able to go home if this keeps up.
I wish it'd stop already.
What are you photographing for?!
Honestly, I can never let my guard down around you.
Attendance violation.
I got it!
Letting you take pictures should be enough, right?!
Could I get you to strike a pose?
P-Pose?
Here?
What'll happen if somebody sees us?
I got it!
Now take them already!
Oh, nice.
Really nice!
Now lower your legs.
L-Like this?
Is this good?
How's this?
What about this?
Good!
That's really good!
It's scary, since I'm not used to being photographed.
Well done, Maeda.
Truly excellent.
Cornering the naggy Muroto-senpai really felt good!
Oh, I've got to hurry.
Muroto-senpai?
It really was you.
Maeda-kun...
Classes have already started.
I don't care about classes.
H-Huh?
Did something happen?
Aren't you going to take my photo?
The student council president is skipping class on the rooftop.
Wouldn't it be the ideal blackmail material?
Don't say that...
What happened?
This isn't like you at all.
Leave me alone!
Senpai, come with me!
Let's go!
H-Hey!
Maeda-kun!
What?
Why did you bring me here?
Senpai, you don't know how to properly skip class.
Huh?
When you're feeling down, a place like that won't help you feel better.
The nerve...
Well, what should I do?
From now on, we're not going to come late,
we're going to leave early!
Huh?
E-Eh?!
What was that?
Use me as a step!
Quickly!
Wait a second, I can't do that...
If you skip class together with me,
I will delete the attendance violation photos.
Why would you do that?
Why?
Why would I?
I don't like it when you're not yourself.
I can't leave you alone!
Come, Senpai!
Stand on me!
Come on!
Maeda-kun...
W-What are they doing?
H-Huh?
Hey, that's not enough.
Let's follow them.
O-Okay.
To think that I, the student council president, would skip classes at an arcade.
It's too late to worry about that.
Now that we're here, we'll just have to have fun.
Even if you say that...
Photographing me again without asking?!
Hey, Muroto-senpai, peace sign!
So you're planning to blackmail me using new photos instead of the ones you're deleting?
I won't do that!
I'm taking the photo!
Eating crepes while others are studying is the best!
Indeed.
Hey, about the thing you said a while back... "like me".
Yeah?
How do people see me?
How?
As the strict student council president, a child prodigy...
A prodigy, huh?
When I was in elementary school, my grades weren't that good.
I loved swimming,
and hated studying more than anything.
But if that's the case, then why?
Since I have to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor,
I can't hate studying any more.
I went to who knows how many cram schools.
Even on my days off, I had to study from dawn to dusk.
And then, when I graduated from elementary school,
I finally was the best.
I was happy.
But I only pretend to be smart.
But your grades are good, aren't they?
You'd be surprised if you saw my results from the national mock exam a while back.
Don't say that.
It was just a mock exam.
There's still a lot of time until the real thing.
I'm already at my limit.
I even quit swimming to study more,
but it seems it's impossible for me to be the student council president or a doctor.
There's nothing I can do.
Senpai...
Hey, you...
Yes?
You really are the young lady from back then!
Oh, oh yeah!
Um, did something happen?
You don't know?
She saved someone's life!
Muroto-senpai did?
That's right!
It happened on a Monday morning last month.
An elderly man had collapsed on this street,
but we couldn't find an emergency hospital that would take him in.
That's when she stepped forward.
She made arrangements to take him to her hospital,
and she even accompanied him all the way there.
If it wasn't for her, I don't know what would have happened to that elderly man.
A Monday morning?
Come to think of it, that also happened on a Monday morning.
Was it...
Thank you very much!
Everyone was impressed by what this young lady did.
You're too kind.
I'm...
I'm not the kind of person everyone thinks.
Senpai...
I-Is that so?
But everyone is grateful.
Keep that in mind.
Yes.
I'm...
President?!
Let it be.
It would be undignified to barge into their world.
Maeda is the only one who can photograph the real Muroto.
We continued skipping classes even after that.
Maeda-kun!
Thanks for today.
I feel better, thanks to you.
I enjoyed skipping classes with you too.
This was the first and last time!
It was a precious experience.
Hey, Maeda-kun.
You don't need to delete the photos.
I thought I'd stand against myself a little.
The me that loves swimming,
the me that wants to become a doctor,
the me who commits attendance violation...
They're all different parts of myself.
Today, I decided I'd try to face them.
So keep all the photos.
Well then, I'll see you at school!
That was when I realised it.
That whatever was keeping us apart...
...had disappeared.
Muroto-senpai!
I invited her on a date.
What was I thinking?!
Was I...
Maeda-kun!
It's been a while since my last time here, so I'm looking forward to it!
There's still some time before the dolphin show.
Let's walk around while we're waiting.
They look great when they're swimming, don't they?
Yes.
But there are other things I'd rather photograph.
Like what?
Your swimming, Senpai.
Eh?!
It's a shame.
If I'd met you before you quit swimming,
I would've been able to take more photos of you diving.
I-I don't mind letting you photograph me whenever I'm diving.
Wow, really?!
When?!
When, you ask...
The dolphin show will begin soon.
To the people who wish to view the show,
It's about to begin, let's go!
please line up in front of the gate.
Dolphins saved me once.
Dolphins?!
Not from drowning or anything like that.
When I felt down and nothing helped me feel better,
my dad would take me to a dolphin show.
It would really impress me.
And eventually the depression would disappear.
I started diving because I thought I wanted to swim like them.
Why didn't you say anything?
That you were late because you had saved someone.
If you had done that, it wouldn't have been an attendance violation.
It happened when you committed the attendance violation, right?
Yes, that's right.
I wonder why.
I could've just said it.
The setting sun is pretty, isn't it?
Yeah.
Senpai, when I first met you,
I thought that you were a really strict person.
But after I understood your heart,
I began...
I was happy when we skipped classes together.
I don't mind if you find out about the real me.
Senpai...
I finally figured it out.
I'll never become thoroughly diligent and flawless.
So I think I will try to face it.
I've come to this because of your encouragement.
Muroto-senpai, I love you.
From now on, I'll pursue my own dreams.
Becoming a doctor has been my dream, since I was little.
I will do my best to get into the university I want with top scores!
That's the spirit, Senpai!
Hey, Maeda-kun,
will you continue to encourage me?
Even though I'm not perfect?
Yes!
Thanks.
I thought you'd definitely say that.
In that case...
Hug me.
You'll encourage me, right?
When I was a child, dolphins did the job,
but I'm not a child any more.
I-Is it okay?
I'm asking you to do it.
I-In that case...
Muroto-senpai, I love you!
I really love you!
Thank you.
I...
I love you too.
I want to be with you, even when you graduate!
Then, take me out again,
like you did back then.
Yeah.
Hey, kiss me.
Please, gently...
Close your eyes.
Don't worry.
Your dream will surely come true.
Maeda-kun...

Photo opportunity!
No splash!
That was really good.
I just wanted to tell you that I rejoined the swimming club.
I wouldn't pass up photographing your true appearance.
Geez!
I'm so happy that Muroto-senpai came back!
That's right!
We can't lose to her either!
Let's practise!
Yeah, let's go!
Maeda!
Delicious scenes just keep throwing themselves at him!
I'll show you the boob flash sniper's abilities!

Thank you very much.
Whenever I remember it, my heart skips a beat.
They're all precious, precious memories.
Today, I'm finally graduating.
Maeda-kun, you are the only one who knows the real me,
and you always smile at me.
I love you.
Come see me soon.
