I grew up in the small world of the countryside, and the idea of having a relationship with a cute girl just seemed out of the question. -2 But I was fine with that. -3 I buried it in my heart so that no one would notice. Before I got carried away with myself I stopped it cold. -4 I’d just live out a normal life in the country. That would be the most appropriate life for me. -5 But… -6 But since Rurika-chan showed up right in front of me. I… -7 Chirp Chirp —65 -1 Today I’m going to hang out with Rurika-chan (with Sunamori-san too). It took me three hours yesterday to decide what to wear. Hey, is my outfit ok? What about my hair? You look the same to me. -2 So today… please let me have fun! And then, at the end of the day… sfx- Th-thump ###repeat -3 I think I’ll tell Rukika-chan how I feel… -4 Yo. Hn? Where’s Rurika? -5 Ah… Um, she’s not here yet. hw- G-good morning… -6 Sooorry! Been waiting long? -7 sfx- Blinding! sfx- Beam —66 -2 I get that everyone around is gonna stare at Rurika-chan… hw- I’ll get our passes hw- ‘Kay That’s kinda usual when we’re outside of school. -3 I thought I’d done pretty well when I looked in the mirror at home, but compared to everyone else around, I’m… The big city’s on a different level… sfx- Wah -4 Komugi-chaaan! Let’s go! Hurry it up! -5 Hah -6 Right. Today, all day… I’m gonna have as much fun as I can! —67 -1 Since we’re here for the Easter event, let’s get our bunny on! hw- This one! hw- M’yeah. I’ll go with this. Wow, You look great! -2 Um Uh Glance Glance hw- Which one…? -3 Want me to pick on for you? -4 Maybe this one? It’s this year’s limited edition. I-I see… I think it’d look good with your outfit. Mm… Cute! —68 -1 This is all just like a dream! sfx- Kyaa Kyaaa sfx- Whoooosh -2 Ririka-chan, do you like these rides? They’re scary, but I love them Welcome to the Bunny-tan Roller Coaster -4 Rurika, we just see the whites of your eyes. So not pretty. But, it happens Ahaha You’re right! I look so funny! hw- Crackin’ me up -5 Getting to see new expressions one by one… It makes me happy to see them. -6 And it makes me desire even more. I want to know her better. I want to be closer to her. —69 -1 But Rurika-chan’s just too cute. She’s one of a kind. -2 That was so fun! There’s no way I can keep up. -3 Yeah! -4 The closer I get… The more I get to know her… The more unobtainable she feels. -5 So close yet so far. I’ve never been in a relationship before. But I have these feelings. And the truth is I’m in love with Rurika-chan. -6 I thought it’d be enough to just love her secretly… But… I realized that it’s just not that simple. —70 -1 So, um… next let’s go to Bunny-tan’s area, there’s a mascot photo op… -2 Huh? Did you already plan out the day? That’s right. Since it’s Komugi-chan’s first time, I want her to experience it to the fullest. I put a lot of work into making the perfect plan! -3 Watching insider videos to capture the best routes. Ferreting out all the limited edition goods and foods. Sifting through the homepage and social media for info. sfx- Hmm Hmm sfx- I see… -4 Hmm? Normally you’re totally the type to just got with the flow. You usually hate that kinda crap. -6 Yeah, come to think of it, normally I leave all that up to you, Miriko. I’m a NPC there to ensure people are happy. —71 -1 Komugi-chan, we’re gonna be busy having so much fun today! -2 Y… -3 Yeah! -4 It’s not just how she looks… But Rurika-chan’s such a sweetie on the inside too! -5 I’m getting a little hungry. Want to grab something? The kids at school have no clue. —72 -1 But… I know. -2 And because I know… —73 -1 Ah, We have a little time before the parade. Mmn… I’ll go get the special Bunny-tan drinks for us. How you you two go get the special Bunny-tan burgers? -2 We’ll meet up at the area entrance. Laters! -4 I guess I need to say something… Ah, um… So you went to the same junior high as Rurika-chan? -5 Wh-what was she like back then? I guess she was cute and stuck out even then? -6 Not really. She’s not much different than she is now. For better or worse, always the center of attention. Boys love her. Girls hate her. —74 -1 Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Even if we went to the same junior high, we wouldn’t have been friends. -2 Rurika-chan’s kind of in her own world. She blows my mind since there wasn’t anyone like her out in the country. -3 Dude… You love her, right? —75 -1 Th-thump -2 Huh? Ah… W-well, she’s just so darn cute, and… I’m just happy watching from the sidelines, so… -4 I’m just a mob who’s here to keep things moving. -5 But “love”…? I-I’m not sure… -6 But I’m not gonna watch my Fave get hurt, either. So, which is it? -7 Why doesn’t she have any confidence? Why does she look so troubled? I’m getting a bad feeling about this. -8 It’d be fine for her to just go and say that she loves her, right? I can’t imagine she can may Rurika happy like this… —76 -1 But, um… Rurika-chan… and me? We don’t really suit each other. -2 I just want to quietly be by her side. I think it’d be impossible for me to go out with her. I mean, I already know that… -3 And it’s not like I want to stay in Tokyo forever… I’m planning to go back to the country, so… -4 After having fun all day today… At the end… I plan to tell her that… —77 -1 Wha? -2 Huh? -3 That this is the memory of a lifetime for me… and that it was really fun… -4 I-it was only a short time, but… I’ll say “Thank you for treating my so nicely”. -5 Whaaaaaaaa?! —78 -1 Nnn… But “love”…? I’m just happy I could get to know the cute girl I’m infatuated with. So it’s not like it’s special or anything. It’s not more special than anyone else… -3 Is it really like that? -4 Nnngh -5 I got them! -6 What wrong? Nuthin. —79 -1 I’m happy I could get them. sfx- Whew I heard they sell out sometimes… We had them when we came last year, so I wanted Komugi-chan to try them too. -3 This seem so half-baked. I thought things seemed off before, but… I… I don’t want to see Rurika cry. -4 Here. Th-thank you! —80 -1 sfx- Click ###repeat Ahaha, you’re taking so many photos! How many have you taken? hw- You’re so serious! -2 Hey, Miriko, take one of the two of us. S… Sure… -3 Komugi-chan! sfx- Huh? Hey, look at the camera. -4 This’ll be a good memory. Yes. Going to school in Tokyo. Having my first love be an unbelievably cute girl. A memory of my first love. —81 -1 Bunny, Bunny-tan Bunny, Bunny-tan sfx- Kya Kya sxf- Wooo! Wooo! sfx- Bunny-tan -2 sfx- Kya sfx- Yay sfx- Bunny-tan! Wow! Amazing! sfx- Woo! sfx- Kya -3 You know… I love the parade the best. Y-yeah! The floats are amazing! -4 Kya Wow Kya Bunny-tan! -5 Next, we’ll hit the 2pm show… So the rides that have short lines are… sfx- Mmm hw- Should we hit that…? -6 Normally you’re obsessed with the parade, and you’re checking your schedule? —82 -1 Bunny-tan’s looking this way and waving! Ahaha Total fangirl I-it’s amazing! I can believe we can see it this close! -2 ‘Cause Rurika researched the best place to watch it from. This parade’s so popular, it’s not just coincidence. sfx- Pissed sfx- Grit -3 Whoo! Sooo fun! -4 I sent my younger sister some photos, and she’s all “So jelly! Unfair!” Be sure get her a souvenir. I totally recommend this out of the way shop over here. —83 -1 I think it’d be impossible for me to go out with her. -4 Ah, Miriko-chan… Thank’s so much for coming along today. -5 Huh? Nyeah. I-I’m just glad you’re having fun. -6 But what do you want outta this? Suwa, do you want to go out with that kid? You love her? Is that what… —84 -1 I’d love for that to happen. -2 At least, I think so? -3 On the way home, I plan to tell her that. -4 Whaaaaaa?
