The first 200 lines.
Whenever this season comes...
I think about my first love.
I remember the senpai that I respect and admire.
It was a first love where I was never able to confess to him.
I turn 24 this year.
And I fell in love with senpai again.
Are you going to go out drinking with them again today?
Yes I am.
That person is so hot.
Which one?
No, no, no! This one right here!
Ayukawa Itsuki?
I heard that he was a first class architect.
He's pretty capable.
Ayukawa senpai...
Huh? You know him Kawana?
He was my senpai in high school.
Then do you wanna go out drinking with us?
This is so we can establish a good relationship with another company. It's very important.
Welcome! Welcome!
Nabe-san!
Sup!
I'm sorry I'm late!
Nice to meet you!
Kawana?
Are you for real?
You're Kawana aren't you?
It's been a while.
Yeah it has!
Huh? Do you guys know each other?
Well, she's my underclassmen from high school.
You little...wow that's awesome!
Is that right? What a surprise!
Then, should we make a toast?
Yeah!
What are you going to drink?
I'll just get the same thing.
There's all kinds of people out there after all.
When I first met senpai, I thought that he was the worst.
You can borrow up to 2 books.
Come on don't say that.
Please!
Then, let me at least have three.
These are the rules!
Excuse me.
Yes?
What was your name again?
Your name.
It's Kawana....
And your first name?
Tsugumi.
Tsugumi....
Alright, best regards!
Hey! You're causing trouble!
I'm gonna read them in one day.
That's not it!
Taking this book out is prohibited!
He was a senpai that everyone admired.
Thanks.
That's a pretty difficult book isn't it?
It's my dream to be an architect.
He was the ace of the basketball team.
I was in the art club and so I decided to draw his image.
I would draw pictures of the building and the sakura trees.
I imagined him when I was drawing.
Senpai was my first love.
How nice.
What is?
I mean, you're meeting your first love again and he's super hot.
Hey. Is Ayukawa-san free?
Come on...there's no way he is!
I mean he had hearts in his eyes!
No he didn't!
Thank you.
Hold on a second.
Alright! Is right here okay?
Thank you.
There you go!
Are you going to be okay by yourself?
I'll be fine! I didn't drink.
I want to see Sakuragoka at that time.
Is that right?
I'll be leaving first.
Good work today.
Alright, good work!
You too!
Be safe out there!
Thank you!
He was in a wheelchair?
That's right, but the actual guy isn't a hottie at all.
Isn't that right Kawana?
But dating that guy would be impossible for me though.
Well...
You don't have to say those things.
Well, I mean...
I mean...
Wouldn't the normal reaction be to not want to date him?
Come on that's enough. Get to work! Get to work!
"That's not true".
I wasn't able to say that.
Pardon me, I'm Kawana from Cranberries.
Be normal....
Senpai!
Kawana...
I'm sorry..
Is that...
It's the Sakuragaoka district development project.
We are going to participate in the design competition of the citizen exchange center.
It's amazing isn't it?
Nabe-san. I brought the color samples...
Thanks!
This was done by Ayukawa and a team of young people.
When I saw Ayukawa's intial concept I thought "This could work".
Amazing...
If this project is selected...
Then we are going to have Cranberries do the interior design.
When that happens we'll be counting on you!
Okay!
It'll be good if we can work together.
Yes.
It kinda feels weird to go out and eat with you.
It's the first time we've spoken to each other since high school isn't it?
We were wearing uniforms in those days.
That brings back the memories!
It's awesome that you are pursuing your dream senpai.
I thought that you were going to get a job as a painter.
During high school I did have one painting put in an exhibition.
I believed that my dream would come true when that happened...
But reality was harsh.
It happens.
So I thought about a job that would be similar to that one and I pursued interior design.
Interior design.
Long time no see Ayukawa-kun.
Grab the front.
Alright here we go. Ready, set...
Thanks for always doing this.
Go ahead.
Kawana.
It would be very unnatural to not bring it up.
In my 3rd year of college I got into an accident.
A car hit me while I was riding my bike.
It damaged my spinal cord.
I wasn't able to walk after that.
But I didn't want to give up my dream in becoming an architect.
And so I entered into my current job and got my qualifications.
Just like you saw before, I'm not able to get on steps and things like that.
There's a lot of those on the work site.
And there's even some contractors who don't like that I have a handicap.
That's why...
I'm glad that they let me do the Sakuragaoka project!
I definitely want it to get selected.
I'm going to cling onto this job.
Maybe that's too flashy huh?
That's true.
Kawana.
Can you call Nabe-san? The person you gave the color samples to?
Yes. I'll call him right now.
Thanks. Alright, I'll leave it to you.
Yes!
Excuse me for one second.
This is Kawana from Cranberries.
Kawana-san? I'm Watanabe.
Sorry, right now Ayukawa is...
I'm going to let him go.
Okay.
Could you wait outside please?
Sorry about that.
It's shocking.
Yes...
I heard that his spinal cord injury...
Will paralyze his sensory system.
And it seems like before he was aware of it...
His injury was getting worse and made him get a high fever.
The deadline is getting closer and I think he might be pushing himself too far.
It will be impossible for him to finish the design pass by tomorrow.
I don't think he will be able to give them the drawings.
His project might not be selected that way though.
Pardon me.
Senpai...
Pardon me.
Ayukawa-san? What are you doing?
I have to get this done.
But your fever hasn't gone down yet. Don't push yourself too much!
Please let me do it!
If I don't do this than everyone's efforts will be wasted!
But for right now, rest is what you need!
I'm glad that I was left in charge of the Sakuragaoka project.
I definitely want it to get selected.
Umm...
Please let me take care of him.
Please let him do it. I'll help him out!
I won't allow him to push himself. Please!
Even with this fever he still continued to draw.
Even if it was just a little bit...I wanted to help him out.
Please don't push yourself too much senpai!
You've done enough!
It would be better if you worked on it again later right?
There is no later.
I don't know if they will extend the deadline.
It's now or never!
