Say 'I Love You' (好きっていいなよ。)

Welcome.

Aloha.

Tomei High School Cultural Festival, idol campus contest.

It's very lively!

Next is contestant no. 5, height, 183cm.

Interest is indoor football.

Favorite food is peperoncino.

The type of girl he likes is...

It's a secret.

Next. Please welcome Year 1, Class B, Kurosawa Yamato!

So cool!

Welcome.

Has everyone voted?

Everyone's votes will decide who will be the winner of this year's prize.

Today was really frightening.

What?

I only went because Seino said there would be a lot of cute girls.

In the end, they were all dinosaurs.

And the cutest one seemed to like you.

I'm sorry.

It's Kurosawa-kun.

It's the one who just won the contest.

So popular.

Did you swap email addresses with that girl?

No, she looked like she was hoping I'd ask, so I deliberately didn't.

You're such a jerk.

I'm not.

You really are.

What?

Sorry, sorry. I didn't see you there.

It's really interesting, right? No one has heard her speak.

Who is she?

Tachibana Mei. She's in my class.

Super gloomy, totally doesn't talk.

She's definitely not had a boyfriend before.

Is that so? I feel like she's quite impressive.

So tired...

I really don't get what's the point of morning assembly.

It's to allow you to sleep.

It's like that, huh?

If you have to cover your bottom, then don't bother shortening the skirt.

You sound like an old pervert, Kenji.

It's Tachibana.

Don't.

- Don't do that. - It's okay.

You're annoying.

Ow.

Yamato!

Annoying idiot! Go die!

Are you okay?

Tachibana, that's cruel.

It was clearly Nakanishi who did it.

What? What just happened?

That hurt.

- Did you hear? - I heard! The thing about Yamato-kun...

Yamato-kun got kicked.

He got kicked by Tachibana.

- Really? - And he really saw her undies.

Who was Yamato kicked by?

You don't know who? Class D's Tachibana Mei.

Yamato was kicked and hurt, and got to see her pants.

Zebra-print undies, round-house kick girl.

Scary.

Tachibana Mei.

Thank you for this morning.

I want to apologize to you about this morning.

Although I didn't do it, my brother (close friend) still did it.

You must be really upset. I'm sorry.

Let's be friends.

Huh?

What do you mean?

As I said...

- Tell me your phone number. - No.

You really are interesting.

Here, call me anytime.

I don't need it.

Here.

You hurt your hand back then, right?

Thank you.

But my injury can't be covered by just one plaster...

This should be enough, right?

Thanks.

Bye.

What happened, Mei-chan?

- What? - You've wiped that for a while now.

Nothing happened.

Is that so?

Well, that's good.

Welcome.

Welcome.

- French toast. - Okay.

Thank you for your patronage.

Tachibana Mei.

Mei! Why didn't you call me?

Mei!

I was waiting for your phone call.

I didn't say I would call you.

But usually, people would still call.

I don't like calling people.

But you call your friends, right?

I don't have friends.

But you have a phone.

I only have my home, my mom's, and my part-time job's.

I don't have any other numbers.

Seriously?

I don't need friends.

How is that possible?

People quickly betray others.

School is just a group of idiots who have to make someone into a target of bullying.

I don't want to be friends with those people.

Not everyone is like that.

Everyone's the same.

When there's something wrong, they'll just call others.

The person being called will just pretend not to have heard.

It's like that.

- Mei-chan did it. - I also saw it.

So pitiful.

Thank you for your hard work.

We've switched you to the AU voicemail service.

After the beep, you have 3 minutes...

Hello?

Hello, it's Tachibana.

It's you! What's up?

I'm sorry... Can you help me?

Mei, what happened? You scared me.

The man outside...

always comes to the shop where I work.

He seems to have constantly followed me today.

What? Where?

He's just standing there.

That's a stalker.

I know what to do.

Let's go.

Mei.

I love you.

Huh?

He's gone.

Mei?

You know why I did that, right?

- It's to get him to leave. - I got it, I got it.

Is it possible, Mei... That was your first kiss?

I'm sorry, I...

It's fine, don't apologize. It's fine.

- But... - I said it's fine already.

I didn't actually believe you'd come.

I never thought you'd come because of what I said.

What happened in the past?

I mean...

Was it when you needed someone, no one came?

It's okay if you don't want to say it.

In elementary school, we had a rabbit at school.

One day, with some kids, we made the rabbit eat grass from nearby.

I only watched from the side.

The next day, the rabbit died.

No one thought this would happen.

The teacher asked everyone...

if they knew anything had happened.

One of my friends said...

it was me who did it.

She said you did it?

I called out everyone's names.

Asking them why? I didn't do anything.

Please help me.

But no one helped me.

But today was different, right?

If I also need help, can I also call you?

This number...

Yes, I've got it.

Mei, come on.

I'm back.

Mei, you called me today. Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

Is that so?

Mei.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What happened, what happened?

Yamato, you're friends with her?

- Such a surprise! - Look at your fondness.

You're annoying. You're gonna be late, so get going.

- Crap, crap! Let's go, Asami-chi. - Wait for me, Kenji.

Yamato...

What is she like?

What is she listening to? She likes music?

- Karaoke? - Yeah.

Everyone's going after school. Do you want to come?

I'm not going.

Are you coming?

Hi.

Seriously? The real person? Why did you come?

Aiko has a really bad mouth, but she's not actually bad.

I thought you'd definitely like karaoke.

Because you listen to music all the time, right?

- That was English comprehension. - English comprehension?! Really?

Although you don't talk a lot, you're very interesting.

Do you like Yamato?

No, I don't.

Have you kissed Yamato? Have you had sex?

I've only kissed him before.

Only once.
