His and Her circumstances>ACT 11.0

The first semester was just about to come to an end.

“At the End of the First Semester”

Finals are over and sports competitions finished.
Summer vacation is on its way.
School athletes are looking forward to practicing their sports and whole school was buzzing with anticipation of summer break.

Good morning!
Good morning!

Until yesterday, Miyazawa had a lot of problems, but now, she has friends and she’s doing well with her classmates.

Oh, Arima. Good morning.
Good morning.

How cute. What’s a matter?

Shibahime pisses me off.
What she is trying is to get back at me?
A lot happene in the first semester.
I met Miyazawa.
We showed our hidden selves.
And we decided to became our real selves.
She took this square model student xxxxx completely, revealing the real me that I didn’t even know existed, and told me she loved me.
I was so happy that I’d met her.
I was so happy I could share all my high school moments with her.

It’s so hot these days.
The first semester is almost over.

Yeah.
When l think back, there sure were a lot of things that happened.
I was just thinking about the same exact things.

What if the second semester is this same?

I don’t wanna even think about it.

Oh, it's summer vacation already.

Are you going anywhere during summer break?

Nope. Maybe go to my grandfather's, but that's about it.
We aren’t that reach, so…
Oh, but I'm gonna hang out with the girls.
Movies, pool...

With your new friends?

That's right!
I'm finally making my debut with the girls!
Go to festivals, karaoke, you know?
I've never done stuff like that.
I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
Maybe I'll debut as a punk girl, too.
I can bleach my hair and something.
What about you?
You’re doing anything fun?

No. I'm busy this summer, so I don't think so.
Ah, Miyazawa...

Hmm?

There's something I haven't told you.

What is it?

There’s a kendo tournament in August.
I’m supposed to be in that, so I’m gonna have to do a lot of training.
So, I won’t be able to see you for a while.
We're going to the Nationals.
So, we'll be at a training camp all of July.
I wanted to tell you sooner, but l didn't know anything definite until recently...
And you were having a lot of other problems, so...
I’m sorry.

Oh, I see.
Sports teams have stuff like that, don’t they?
Come to think of it.
Oh, but it's great that you're going to the Nationals.
I had no idea you’re that good.
I only wish you’d told me earlier
Congratulations.
Oh, maybe I'll go watch the tournament. Where will it be?

It's in Kyoto...

Then I won’t quite be able to go, but I’ll be cheering for you.
Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do well.
I see. It's summer vacation...
It'll be strange not being able to meet at school every day.
I wonder why I never thought about that.

It's been taken for granted that we'll be near each other.
Ever since we started high school, we've noticed each other.
Ever since we met, we've hardly been apart for two days.
We influenced each other and we became our real selves.
Our relationship is based on something deep xxxx attraction.
The two of us learn just how special the other is.
The first semester ends.
Summer vacation begins.
Are you done with that?

Almost.

I'll call you.
I'll be done with everything by the 7th of August.
Then we can see each other.
We planned to go out, remember?

I'm getting depressed just because we won't see each other for a while.
I gotta learn to be okay with this.
I mean it’s not forever.

Believe me, I know. I feel the same.
For the first time since we met, we'll be spending time apart.
Hey, Miyazawa.
There's something I’d like to do before we leave each other.

What is it?

It’s just I wanna hold you close
Don’t worry. I won’t do anything.
But we’ve never done it properly yet...
If we can’t see each other for a while, then I want to know how the person I love feels in my arms.

Somehow, I feel relieved.
Yeah. Somehow, I feel relaxed.
It feels so good.
The shape of the person I love.
His weight.
His warmth.
It feels like my whole body is with happiness.
I don’t need anything else.
I never knew there was such serenity.
Oh, it’s terrible.
If I knew it’s gonna be this good, we could've done this a lot earlier.
What a waste.

Yeah, but I was embarrassed before.
Well. we’ll have a plenty of time later.

Yeah. Good luck at the Nationals.
Beat up those juniors and seniors and win the tournament!

Looks like the first summer is here.

Arima!
I heard you're going to the Nationals.
A thousand paper cranes.
I can't go but take these and think of me, okay?

Did you make all those by yourself?

That's right! I'll xxxxx!
I'll make sure xxxx boys go after you lovely Miyazawa!

I get the feeling that you're the evil one but thank you.

You're so mean!
Be careful, now.
You’re sure you wanna talk to me like that?
Miyazawa and I'm going to the pool, right?

What?! Miyazawa!
Have you lost you mind?!
You’re actually get go to the pool with a pervert like him?!

But my sisters are coming, too.
He's just a guy who's tagging along.

Oh really? You think so?
Come on!
I’m gonna show Miyazawa my gorgeous body I keep under my shirt.
Under the mid-summer sun...
This blinding, sparkling, smooth-as-porcelain gorgeous body of mine.

Quit it, Asaba!
Stop xxxxx xxxxxxx.

Well, you just go right ahead and practice your silly kendo.
Getting covered in sweat in your protective gear.
Go and live your smelly, hot youth.
But we’re gonna play.

Ahh, what is xxxxx.
I’ll be lonely without her, but I hope to be a better man when I come back.
Miyazawa might even love me more for it.




Hey, here she comes!
Hey, Yukinon!

Hey! Did you wait long?

Nope. We just got here.
I'm glad. I'd picked up my friend before coming here.
Remember, l told you there was someone l wanted to invite along?
This is Miss Maho lsawa.

Hello.

This is the girl who turned the whole class against Yukinon
What d'you show up here for?!

Hey, hey, it’s okay.
You don’t have to worry about that.
We already made peace.

What?! I don't trust that nasty girl at all!

Why did l have to come here?
This is so stupid.

Not at all.
Don’t you see this is our chance?
Neither of us have had real friends past, so if we have to start over, why don’t we do it together?

Whatever you say, I really couldn't care less about it, but I guess I owe you something , so I'll keep you company today.

Friendship!
Summer vacation has begun.
The ups and downs of the first semester have ended, and it looks like I can relax for once.
Unfortunately, Arima has practice for the Nationals, so it looks like we won’t be seeing each other for a long time.

I’ m really gonna miss you.

I’ve got some new friends, so I’m doing all right now.
Arima is working so hard too, so I plan to spend quality time in my own way.
Miss Sena. Miss Sawada. Hello!

Hi, you can call us Rika and Aya.

These two seem the most normal, you know?

Shibahime’s late.

Cigarettes are bad! Cigarettes are bad! Cigarettes are bad! Cigarettes are bad!

Okay if you say so.
I’m really sorry.

I’m so glad. We couldn’t get Aya to stop smoking.
I’m really happy that she’s finally got a friend who is as strong as you are.

Normal girls like her are usually harder to deal with than crazies.

Tsubasa is so late.
Where is she?
She’s xxx of recently.
Well, I guess I just have to wait.

Sorry I’m late.

So…So…So…So cute!
Let me take you shopping later, please.
I want to dress you in all sorts of outfits.
You would be the most adorable thing ever.
Well, now that all of us are here, let’s go out and have some fun!

We live down in the deepest dark xxx
Watch your back because we’re monster people.
We’re always hiding from people all around.
Xxxxxx we’ll be never found.
I want to become a human soon!
We xxx creepy xxxx name.
Bemu! Bera! Bero!
We’re the monster creeps.

Tsubasa, you like Totoro, right?
Yeah, definitely!
That’s what I thought.
I just saw a huge Totoro doll walking that way.
What?! A big Totoro?!
Yeah.
It was the biggest one I’ve ever seen.
Wanna see it?
Wanna see it!
Then you’d better harry or you’ll lose sight of it.
Off we go!
What are you two doing?
Shh, hey she noticed.
That’s so mean!
This is friendship…

Sorry for the wait.
Mr. Bear Surprise Giant Parfait. Enjoy.
Sorry about that, Tsubasa.
Eat all you want.
Here. Say ”Ahh.”
You can have some of my cake, too.
Have my tea. And my coffee.
Wow, Tsubasa’s lost it!
Stop it! Stop it! You xxxx out of here
I’m starting to understand the relationship of these four.

All of you are from the same middle school, right?
That’s right. Hatadai Middle School.
I went to South Shirakawa.
Horikawa Middle School.
How did you guys meet?
Well, actually, Tsubasa and I have been friends since we were in kindergarten.
Rika and I lived next door to each other and xxxx.
Tsubasa was really shy of people she didn’t know, even back then.
Hey, you know you’re pretty cute there.
Wanna play with clay with me?
And so, thanks to her being stuck to me like glue, I couldn’t get any other girls to come over and play with me.
My social life in school was completely ruined.
But xxxxx popular now.
Tsubaki, you’ve always been xxx young and beautiful girls.
Hmm… Sounds like someone…
You know, I feel very lucky to meet a cute girl like you in school, Yukinon.
Let’s be friends from now on. Okay?
Oh, you over there. You’re quiet but definitely xxxx.
So, I don’t mind adding you to our group of friends.
That’s it! She’s exactly like him!
That guy I know so well!
Come to me my dear, merry.
No mistake about it.
And two of us, we’ve been together since we were babies, so we kind of take it for granted now.
Oh, cute!
When I tried to escape from kindergarten, Rika kept me company.
And Rika was the only one who got caught and scolded.
I’d trash my room and get scolded by my mom, and still I wouldn’t clean up, so Rika cleaned up for me because she couldn’t just leave it.
And then I’d complain about the way she organized my books.
I’d make Rika go to movies so I wouldn’t be alone, but when she asked me to go.
I don’t like movies like that.
And I wouldn’t go with her.
You see, I feed off Rika and rake in the benefits.
That it xxxx.
It’s how our relationship works.
Rika’s laughing, but doesn’t it bother her?
Sometimes I wonder though.
I made xxxxx but I do know how I write well.
I’d wxx with all xxx award xxx writing contests.
I was pretty full of myself.
And just then…
You’re so great, Aya!
You get so many awards, you’re amazing!
Thnak you. I’m so lucky to have a talented friend like you!
She’s honestly congratulating me.
How can she after all the terrible things I’ve done?
Is she a saint?
If I were her, I hate me.
I’d be so jealous.
That’s how bad I am!
I’m xxxx.
What’s wrong, Aya?
Please stop it!
Huh? What is it?
I’m not the kind of person you should congratulate!
Every time you congratulate me, my bad qualities stand out even more!
I’m the worst person in the world!
I see. Aya is Gokuu and Rika is Sanzo Houshi.
So in middle school, me and Aya recoginsed each other’s badness and deciede to team up.
I see.
But it’s true. Aya really is a great writer and she was selected for the Junior Novels’ New Talent Award, and now she’s writing books.
What?! Novels?! As in those books?! Books sold at bookstores?!
You’re really a novelist?
Yup.
Amazing. Ah, wow.
A novelist. A real novelist is sitting with us.
Not really.
They only put in a short piece once in a while.
They call it professional, but you know lots of people do it.
No, it’s very impressive as a high school student.
That’s right, Aya. You’re so talented. You’re gonna succeed.
I’m proud of you.
Ah, stop it please! You’re killing me with your kindness!
You don’t have to write for them during this summer break, do you?
Nope. Now I’m going to try a novel.
Besides, it’s not like I’m the only special one.
Tsubaki’s already become a starter in the volleyball team.
And Rika’s always been good at art in class.
She makes intrancate beautiful things.
Who knows what’ll happen in future?
Everyone’s nurturing their talents.
That’s cool. You’re all lucky to have things you’re good at.
I’ve never thought even doing things like that.
You’re amazing.
All I can really do is schoolwork.
What are you complaining about?
If you can do schoolwork that well…


Well, shall we call it quits for today?
What is it, Tsubasa?
Don’t wanna go home yet?
You wanna play a little longer.
Whoa! Hey, you better watch out before her, Yukinon.
It may look like Tsabasa just like you a lot.
When she clamps onto you like that, it’s all over.
She’ll be stuck to you forever!
To be honest, it’s a real pain!
Umm, we don’t really wanna have to deal with her spoiled attitudes, so we’re going home.
You two take it easy.
We’ll call you later.
All right already. I’ll stay for a bit.

Tsubasa’s completely attached to Yukinon.
Kind of weird. She’s usually so shy.
She’s having a really hard time lately.
I hope that hanging out with Yukinon will help forget about staffs.
Her father might get remarried, right?
Yeah, she’s got a father complex.
She’s daddy’s little girl.
And then she missed at start of school because she was in the hospital.
And when she comes back Arima’s got a girlfriend.
What lack of luck.
Sounds like she’s cursed or something.
Hey guys, I was wondering.
Why did Tsubasa decide to stay with Yukinon?
Well, probably it’s because she doesn’t like going home.
It must be awkward.
But she’ve got to go home eventually, right?
Xxxx she wouldn’t do anything weird, right?
Yukinon!

Schoolwork isn’t the only thing that matters.
Everyone else is talented at something.
I feel awful.
I don’t know xxxx do anything.
While I was cramming for exams like crazy, everyone else was discovering their special talents.
I never even thought of things like that.
Somehow, I feel like I got left behind.
Feeling discouraged, Yukino?
Well, I guess all of this have shown me how little I really have.
I need to find my special things.
You’re going to look for that, starting now.
You’ve realized that grades aren’t the only thing to measure a person.
The most important thing to remember is that it’s never too late to start.
Besides, you aren’t alone now.
I wanna start changing, too.
If we have to start from square one, it’s better with company, right?
Friendship! I have friends.
My loneliness fades away.
I am no longer alone.

Wow, what a huge bag.
What’re you going to do with that, Tsubasa?
I’m running away!
It used to be that Daddy and I lived along.
But now this woman keeps coming over.
She tries to get on my good side by pretending to be my mother, and that really pisses me off.
Daddy says he wants to marry that woman.
He’s never even talked about remarrying before.
It seems that he’s serious.
This is all kind of heavy.
I’ve never seen her talk this much.
Daddy’s a clueless rich boy who can’t xxx so that woman wormed her way in!
It sounds disgusting! I’ll never xxxx house!
And that woman’s already got a son my age by a previous marriage!
She’s such a little xxx.
Normal people don’t act like that.
That’s why I’m running away from home.
If I disappear, Daddy has got to wake up and see what he is doing.
This is a war to get Daddy back from xxxx woman!
But, where are you gonna run away to?
Your place.
What?! You know xxxx friend, Yukino?
I don’t wanna! I’m going home!
It’s friendship! It’s friendship!
I don’t want to! I am going home!
So what? It’s friendship!


A synopsis of what’s to come!
Sis has been dragged into the problems of another household.
And every one’s argue.
Oh, where have the warm families gone?!
