Behind this Queen-like smile lies a hidden identity.
In reality, Kamon Hiro remorselessly hates people.
After 25 years she got reunited with the only love in her life, Himura Chouji.
However, the guy who'd dumped her was gay.
On top of that he asked her to help him fool his mother who has only 6 months to live.
Thus she ended up acting out a perfect...wait, no, a fake couple with him.
Or so she thought...
Until she learned about his mother's feigned illness but couldn't tell him.
Meanwhile, a subtle change occurred in the relationship between Hiro and Chouji.
Your friend...
Didn't she really fall in love with her gay fake husband?
Ah...
Sorry. I couldn't make breakfast.
I have a terrible hangover.
It's all right.
I'm sorry for always having you make it.
Are you angry at me or something?
You're not looking at me at all.
I just want to concentrate on my book.
Hey, Hiro.
Did I say something weird yesterday?
I don't remember anything.
Nothing much, really.
You said that you've confessed to Tamotsu-kun.
I can remember now.
Hey, hey, by the way...
Somehow I have incredible pains all over my body.
- Do you know anything? - What?
Stop clinging on to me!!
Ouch!
There must be internal bleeding. Come on, look at this, isn't it terrible?
This here... right here. There's a bruise mark, right?
If you don't hurry, you'll be late for work.
Hey, hey... Hiro.
- You know, I have a little favor... - I refuse.
I haven't said anything yet.
I know it's about Tamotsu-kun without you telling me.
Don't say it like that.
Please find out what Tamotsu-kun thinks about yesterday.
Why don't you do it yourself?
It's the seed that you sowed.
I'm too afraid. I can't do that!
Under the influence of alcohol I said that I like him. And Tamotsu-kun quickly pulled away.
S..Sorry. I just remembered I got some urgent business to do.
I...I'm leaving.
Ah. Wait, Tamotsu-kun!
Please, Hiro.
Please tell him I didn't mean anything weird. That I just like him as a cute junior.
First of all, I have you as my wife.
But I'm not your real wife.
You say that again?!
Like this, I won't be able to look him into the eyes when we meet.
Hey, please. I'm begging you!
I'll be going.
You... You scared me!
Mother?
Mother! Wa... Wait... What are you doing as such a place?
- Are you okay? - Ah... I'm sorry.
Before I knew it, I'd fallen asleep.
"Fallen asleep"? What are you saying? Why didn't you come inside?
Or maybe you don't feel well? Are you okay? Should I get you to the hospital?
I'm okay.
After I got here, I couldn't bring myself to come inside.
You see, I'm still shocked about the fact that Hiro-san isn't pregnant.
Geez, you're still mad about that.
Hiro didn't have any ill intention.
Ah. It's okay. You just stay here.
- I need to talk with Hiro-san. - What? Wait... Wait.
Wait a minute. Wait... What is this about?
What?!
Hiro-san.
Yes.
I'm sorry about the last time. I've reflected on it.
I was a bit immature.
Yes?
There are good lies and bad lies.
I've thought it over and
I've lied about having cancer and you've helped me keeping it secret from Chouji. Right, Hiro-san?
You even lied about being pregnant to get him to marry you.
When I thought about your feelings, I somehow felt a pain in my chest.
Is that so?
But you know, Hiro-san. Don't give up.
"Don't give up" on what?
On having baby of course. Typo: "Having a baby"
You're gonna be all right. Hiro-san.
Jaguar Yokota-san gave birth when she was 45.
Rimi, Jaguar, Yokota: famous female wrestler.
Well, Mother...
Ouch!
Chouji. Don't just stay out here.
Quickly bring my bags inside!
These are memoirs of women who gave birth at an advanced age.
And this medical book covers how to get pregnant easily.
Mother. In our case...
Well... It's indeed impossible.
I wasn't that vigorous when I was young either.
I know you would say that so I bought something to boost your vigor.
Yams from Ise, Chinese soft-shell turtle soup.
Stamina drinks.
Supplements for strength.
Come on, give me a break, Mother.
Don't worry. It's a given that your baby will be cute.
Hiro-san too. Don't be shy. You need to be proactive.
I also bought you seductive lingerie to get him in the mood.
Here.
Go for it on your ovulation day with this, okay?
I'm telling you, we don't fulfill the prerequisites for such actions.

(How to get your hubby in the mood)
Kamon-san. There's a call for you.
Yes.
It's from your husband.
Good for you. Always so lovey-dovey.
No, not at all.
That's not good. Oda-san.
Yes?
Always calling her "Kamon-san".
Since she's married we should call her "Himura-san" now.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Director, you can still call me "Kamon" just like before...
I've given up on a second marriage.
Yes?
Anyway, my late wife was the only woman who understood the merits of a man like me.
Well... Director.
Already in elementary school, the teachers never called on me when I knew the answers.
Instead I would be called on whenever I didn't know the answers, you know?
I'm someone with that kind of luck.
I don't get your analogy at all, old man.
(Himura)
Hello, you asked for me?
I'm Kamo... Himura.
Hello. It's me.
That sounds nice! How you said "I'm Himura". Like we're a real couple.
When I'm at work, can you message me on mobile instead of calling?
Ah, yeah. My bad. My bad.
But quite often you don't reply.
- I can't stand that. - So, what do you want?
We got interrupted because my mother came,
but about Tamotsu-kun...
Our conversation about that was over already though.
Please don't be so cold.
I can't focus on work when I imagine that I can't see him again.
I'm at work so I'm hanging up now.
Wait, wait... I got it. I got it.
Can you at least send Tamotsu-kun a message?
Oh? Hello? Hiro? Hiro?
She really hung up!
Vice Principal, what do you like about your wife that you married her?
Well... About that...
Of course, it's... you know, love... I love her.
Why are you being so formal? Hara-sensei.
Could it be you have someone you like?
That's right. But he got married.
Is that so?
Then, that person doesn't know about your feelings?
What a lunkhead!
Not being able to tell the person you love your true feelings...
is really painful.
I want to return these.
Sure.
Good afternoon.
All the books you recommended were so interesting. I finished reading them in no time.
- If you've got more recommendations, please let me know. - Okay.
And...
Also...
Yes?
Ah, no... It's nothing. Please excuse me.
Is it maybe about my hus...
Is it about my husband?
How did you know?
Yesterday he said something to you that caused a misunderstanding.
He was regretting it deeply.
Misunderstanding...?
What he meant was that...
He only likes you as a cute junior.
Of course, right! I got a shock!
I'm sorry if he's caused you trouble.
But, let me just tell you this...
While we were talking, Chouji-san touched me all over.
What was that about?
It's his habit.
Be it men or women, he acts like they're close friends right away.
And when he invited me to go on a trip with him, just the 2 of us?
I think that he just casually invited you as a friend.
Of course, right?!
If he liked men he wouldn't have married you, Hiro-san.
Please keep being his friend from now on, too.
Of course! After hearing what you said, I'm relieved.
Ah... Please apologize to your husband for me.
That "I'm sorry for misunderstanding".
I'm back.
Welcome home.
What's wrong with you?
I wanted to message Tamotsu-kun, but when I thought about what to write,
I got an headache somehow.
Seems like my throat is swollen, too. Maybe I've caught a cold?
Is that so?
Hey! Wait, wait... Comfort me, will you?!
Hey, your best friend is not feeling well.
After I got off the phone with you,
Tamotsu-kun came to the library.
Oh, I see.
What?! Wait... What?!
Hey, hey, hey. Hiro, Hiro. Wait...!
Hey, hey. Wait, wait... And then? And then?
After I told him what you wanted me to say...
He said that "I'm sorry for misunderstanding".
Great! Thank you, Hiro! Thank you, Hiro!
Can I hug you?! Though I'm already hugging you!
You're really the best. You're really so kind.
From now on, when you want to hug me, will you wait until I say you can?
Okay. Okay. Don't be so stiff.
We're best friends!
All right! As my apology,
I will cook all your favorite dishes today.
Right, right...
- I just thought of a great idea! - I'm going to get changed.
No, no, wait, wait... What... wait, come here, come here.
Sit down, sit down. I haven't said anything yet, have I?
I don't want anything to do with your sudden ideas.
I don't want to get dragged into troubles.
You won't. This time, you know...
I want to do something to warm his heart towards me, to get in contact with him.
I want to invite Tamotsu-kun to our home.
Like doing a dinner party.
Dinner party?!
Well, you see, I still don't have the courage to meet him alone.
And with you here, Tamotsu-kun will be more at ease.
Besides, you see, if he eats my home cooking,
he may come to like me!
It'll just result in good things!
- There's no benefits for me... - Why, why...?
You'll get to eat to your heart's content. Ah, right. Hiro. Why don't you invite somone?
Like a friend... Ah, Yuu-chan's mother?
Well, she went to our reception. You are friends with her, right?
That's right.
Great! Then, I'll invite Yuu-chan's mother.
Hiro, you'll invite Tamotsu-kun. I'm counting on you!
I feel nothing but bad premonitions.
"Jean-Christophe" by Romain Rolland
Hey, Hiro.
Tamotsu-kun will really come, right?
I told you many times that he has accepted our invitation.
Well, I got that.
But I can't calm down until I see his face.
He came~!
Hey, hey, Hiro. Answer the door please. Please!
- Welcome. - Good evening.
- Welcome. - Pardon our intrusion.
Come in. Come in.
Yuu. What should you say?
Thank you very much for inviting us.
Well done! Yuu-chan, would you like some juice?
- Yeah. - Give me a second.
I baked some cookies. If you don't mind...
Thank you very much.
Regarding what I consulted you about a few days ago...
About your friend with the fake marriage with a gay?
You know... I don't know how to say it...
Well...
Don't worry. I won't talk about it.
-Thank you very much. -What? What? What are you talking about?
No, it's nothing.
What kind of person is the other guest?
Ah... What should I say...
Well, you know, he's a cute junior of Hiro's.
Or you could say a disciple. Right?
Well, yes.
Ah, Hiro. Can you answer the door?
I'm late. I'm sorry for being here in such a state.
Wait... Why are you all wet?
On my way here, an old man was troubled because his dog fell into the river.
I couldn't turn a blind eye.
I was confused because I was already especially dressed up for your party, but...
- You should hurry up and take a shower. - Ah, ah... right, right, right!
Tamotsu-kun! I put a change of clothes and towels here for you.
Thank you very much.
What are you doing?
No. Nothing.
This should be washed, right?
These look delicious!
Right, right? Eat a lot, okay?
Okay! Let's have a toast! Hey, Hiro. Say something.
Why me?
Well! Everyone came here today because of you!
I don't get what you're saying.
Everyone here is your fan.
This is like the 1st meeting of your fanclub. Right, Tamotsu-kun?
- Yes. - Yes.
Well then... what should I say...
- To everyone's health and great happiness... - Wait, wait, wait a minute!
Don't say something so formal.
Can't you say something that fits this occasion?
Right, Tamotsu-kun?
Ah, well...
Then how about I expose your true intentions?
It looks good on you. You have such a great body.
- You can wear it home. - Is that okay? Thank you.
Well then... Let's have a toast on Tamotsu-kun's favorite words.
What are your favorite words?
"World peace" and "Free large serving of rice".
Sound great!
When we are full there will be no dispute.
Let's eat a lot and become good friends today.
To "World peace" and "Free large serving of rice", cheers!
Cheers.
Today is so much fun!
Yuu-chan and Tamotsu-kun, eat a lot, okay?!
- I will. - Do you dislike anything?
- No. - Chicken, okay?
- Yes. Yuu-chan, give me a second, okay?
- Do you like meat? - Yeah.
Give me a second. I'll give some to Tamotsu-kun first.
- Is fried chicken okay? - Yes, please.
Yuu-chan, give me a second.
Drink the orange juice, it's delicious. That orange juice is delicious too.
Ahh, can this be over already?
I'm sorry.
When she's full, she'll fall asleep right away.
Same for me. I feel happy when I eat something delicious.
Then, then! Hey, hey! Will you stay over too, Tamotsu-kun?
Ah, no, well...
Like, do you want to drink until morning?
Right, Hiro?
Let's not push it, we have to go to work, too.
I know that! I just want to say that today is so much fun.
Ah, well then, let's have another toast!
- I've said so many times... Isn't it okay?!
Since we're in the mood. Hey, Hiro too. Take your seat.
Okay! Next is... Mizumori-san.
How about a toast to her favorite words?
That sounds good. I want to hear it too.
Mizumori-san, what are your favorite words?
They're from a book I read at Hiro-san's library.
They're from Dr. Hawking.
My 3 favorite quotes that I like to tell the children.
What did that Dr. say?
The first one is "Remember to look up at the stars instead of down at your feet".
Second is "Never give up on your work".
Third is...
"If you are lucky enough to find love,"
"remember it is rare and don't throw it away."
They sound good.
Next time, I'll read his biography.
Tamotsu-kun. Have you found your love?
Ah... Not yet.
I think I've already found mine.
Is that Yuu-chan's father?
I've broken up with him. because he physically abused me.
Then, you're with someone else now?
These two already knew about this, but
I can only love women.
So that's how it is.
- Does Yuu-chan... - She knows. And she gives me her support.
That's incredible.
I've been wanting to ask you this...
Mizumori-san, how can you be so bold about that?
You see... Just by saying you're lesbian,
you get all sorts of misunderstandings from the other parents.
It's nothing compare to what I've suffered from my former husband.
What I care for the most now is for Yuu not to worry about her surroundings.
So that she can develop her personality.
I will protect her.
I won't lie to her no matter what she asks.
I want to be a mother that she can rely on.
Somehow, I'm so envious of you... If only I could live like you...
What do you think, Vice Principal?
If you're hiding something...
Talking about it will make you feel easier.
Ah... no. Not me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
You're in a different position than me. You can't say it out that easy.
No, no... It's not like that...
Tamotsu-kun. What do you think?
About people like me.
Ah... Sorry.
I haven't thought much about that until now.
But I think you're free to love anyone.
Then, can you go out with someone who's gay?
I'm not sure about that.
It's impossible for me after all. I can't imagine it.
You're right! Right, right... Me too!
Imagine? Imagine, right?!
Imagine...
Hiro-san. You're oddly quiet today.
Listening to the three of you talk,
I don't know what to say, but I'm learning a lot.
Hiro-san. How can you always calmly put on a quiet smile like that?
-I'm not that kind of person... - That's right. Right, right!
She has a pretty bad personality. And she's a misanthropist.
- She curses people in her heart. - No way... unbelievable.
Yeah... When she was younger, she was more frank and outspoken.
She was a great woman.
Right? Hiro.
If it's okay with you, can you tell me?
About the time when you two met.
You were classmates in university, right?
You know, the first time I saw Hiro on campus,
She was just dazzling. And to me it seemed like
she was walking in slow motion like in a movie.
That time, I had a lot of worries.
I thought...
"She's what I've been waiting for."
"If it's her, she will understand me."
How about you, Hiro-san?
I thought "What a cheerful and noisy person".
Then, why did you go out with Chouji-san?
While...
I got always dragged around by him,
Somehow, I thought...
"If I'm with him, maybe I can finally see some blue in my sky."
When I was with him,
I wouldn't feel ashamed no matter what kind of silly things we did.
You reminded me!
Like how mad the conductor got when we suddenly started dancing on the train.
And that time at the museum when we pretended to be a piece of art,
we were thrown out and banned from entering again.
You had so much fun.
Doing things like that...
became the norm when I was with him.
I thought that it'd be great if I could always stay together with him.
How did you become intimate with each other?
What?
How can you just ask them like this?
I'm really curious about the day you got intimate for the first time.
It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.
For the first time, we had a huge fight.
Why was that?
Because Hiro wouldn't tell me her birthday.
I snapped and she burst into tears.
It was the first time I saw her like that. And I asked her the reason...
When Hiro was 3, her parents died in a fire.
And that...
happened on her birthday.
So your parents' death anniversary is on the same date as your birthday.
That's why, until then...
I didn't like to celebrate my birthday.
Because of that, he got mad.
"Your birthday is the day you feel grateful to your parents for giving birth to you", he said.
"Meeting you, brought me so much happiness."
"So don't ever say you don't like your birthday again."
That's wonderful. Chouji-san.
No, not at all...
Then, why did you break up?
What? Ah... about that...
Did you get dumped, Chouji-san?
No...
I dumped Hiro.
What? What was the reason?
About that...
It's because, I...
- Wait... Who's that? This late... - I'll get it.
Hiro-chan! I'm sorry for coming here this late!
- What is it? Yae-chan. - Ah, yeah...
We were in the vicinity so I thought I'd drop by to check out your lovey-dovey new home.
Ah, hello! Please come in.
But looks like you have guests...
We should leave.
Don't say it like that! If you don't mind we have leftovers.
That's right. Yae-chan.
We're good. We just ate. Come you two, let's go.
- I'm hungry. - Me too.
What are you saying?!
They're always hungry again right away.
See you, Hiro-chan!
Bye, Chouji-san. Sorry to have disturbed you.
- Thanks for coming by. - Sure. Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Hey... shouldn't you chase after them?
Are you really all right? Yae-chan.
I'm fine. Huh?
Well... did something happen?
Nothing. Nothing!
Ah, right! Look, look. These are cute, right?
My husband bought them for me.
Bye! Give my regards to your husband.
Come on. Let's go. What are you two doing...
I feel like eating something good. What would be good?
That was fun, right, Hiro?
Let's invite them for another dinner party again soon.
I've told you many times...
When you get out of the bathtub, will you close the cover?
Sorry. Sorry.
I thought about today's great conversation and somehow forgot to close it.
And you're the only one who didn't put back his chair.
It's because I thought I would sit there later.
I mean, are you mad about something?
It was a good chance. Shouldn't you have confessed about it?
That you're gay.
If I confess, our fake marriage will be exposed.
Then, have you given up on telling Tamotsu-kun your true feelings?
It's not like that...
But Tamotsu-kun said that he wouldn't go out with a man.
Maybe, my feelings will always be one-sided.
Hara-sensei said that the other day too.
Not being able to tell the one we love about our feelings is so painful.
You're too ignorant about women's hearts, you lunkhead!
Hey, a 4 character word that begins with "ho".
It means to wander around aimlessly. What could it be?
Isn't it "ho-u-ko-u"?
I see. So it's "houkou".
I'm really sorry...
But other people will read it too. Doing that would be...
Back in the day, when my late husband was having an affair,
I also took my 2 children and wandered around in the Ueno district.
It was hard then.
Hello?
Aunt. It's me, Hiro.
- What's your business? - Well...
Did something happen to Yae-chan?
Why do you ask?
Last night, she dropped by with her children.
Coincidentally, we had guests so she went home.
What an idiot.
I told her to be honest with me if she's not doing well with her husband.
But she just sobbed and cried.
So I told her to shape up and turned her away.
Has she contacted you since?
No.
How about Ten-chan?
He moved out.
Why have they become such pathetic adults?
Maybe it's my mistake in the first place because I married their father.
Are you regretting...
that you married him?
You too, nothing good will come from dragging it out with that Chouji.
I can tell.
He definitely can't make a woman happy.
I give up. I give up. I'm in no position to worry about others.
Hello.
Sorry, Hiro-chan. Are you working?
Ten-chan. Where are you?
Sorry. I don't want to tell you.
Don't say that.
You also haven't contacted your mother, right?
What are you doing now?
Sorry. I'm reading a book at the library.
What?
If you're here, just say so.
Sorry. Do you have time now?
I'll leave after we're done talking.
It's okay. Hey, do you know about Yae-chan?
Her husband left home quite a while ago already.
He requested a divorce.
How did you know about that?
I went to talk with her husband some time ago.
It all started when he told her he wants to quit his job and start farming in the countryside.
Yaeko of course strongly opposed to that.
Her husband is a pretty good guy.
So she tried to dissuade him.
But seems like he snapped in the end.
He told her that he can't be at ease around her anymore.
"The more you act cheerful, the more everything feels like a lie."
What did Yae-chan say then?
"I don't mind that, please stay with me." She said, clinging to him in tears.
Seems her husband retorted: "Then it's just like a fake marriage".
I see.
Oh... Okay.
That's all I have to tell you. I'll be leaving now.
As always, you love your family as a first-born son. Right, Ten-chan?
No such thing...
What about finding a job etc?
I keep doing magic without giving up.
Right now, I challenge myself with ventriloquism.
Ah, truth is...
There's one more matter.
Well... Can I use this?
Okay.
Good afternoon. "Good afternoon".
You have something to say to Hiro-chan?
"Yeah. That's right."
You really suck at this... Your mouth is open!
What is it?
"Yeah. Truth is, I..."
"I loved Hiro-chan."
"Ever since I was little, I've always loved her."
"But since we're cousins..."
"Hiro-chan and I were not meant for each other."
"So, I couldn't tell her."
"But I feel like..."
"I have to properly tell her..."
"my feelings for her at last."
What are you saying?
Why would you say it now?
Ah, Hiro-chan, you know, really...
Don't mind what I just said. Bye.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you.
Hiro-san, too, why don't you follow his example?
The story about your friend who had fake marriage...
Is about you, right?
As I thought, you have fallen for Chouji-san, right?
You want to go back to the day that you became one with him 25 years ago, right?
It was the best night of my life...
If so, why don't you tell him honestly?
But, he...
It doesn't matter that he's gay.
What's wrong with telling the one you love that you love him?
- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks for your hard work.
"Come to this place! I need you!!!!!"
What is this about?
It' Himura... I can't pick up the phone...
What are you doing? Yae-chan.
Ah... Nothing. Really.
I'm here to meet my husband.
I'm thinking of going home together with him.
I heard everything from Ten-chan.
Why don't you stop behaving like a stalker?
And what about your children?
For their sake, I can't get divorced.
Thanks for your hard work!
I was in the vicinity and wondered if we should go home together...
If you want to do farming that much, I will support you!
Ouch! Ouch...
Wait for me.
You could just make a kitchen garden on the terrace, too!
Please...
Please come home.
Let's go home, Yae-chan.
Ouch...
Leave me alone!!
Of all things, why do you have to see me like this...
Really! Stop following me.
I really hate you, Hiro-chan.
When we were little, "She's Kamon Hiro's cousin, and yet..."
They would always talk behind my back. Do you understand my feelings?
I wanted to become like you, Hiro-chan.
I desperately drank the milk I hated, but I didn't get taller at all.
I tried my utmost best to study but I always fell asleep right away.
I did my best in PE just like you...
But my body wouldn't move at all. Do you understand my feelings?
That's why I made up my mind.
That I would defeat you in other things.
Since one couldn't say I'm beautiful, I decided to be a woman who would be called cute.
In high school, when I got interested in someone, I would pretend to not understand an easy problem.
And say cutesy things like "You're great. Please help me with my studies again"
I'd win them over right off the bat.
When I said "I'm troubled by a stalker, please send me home",
I could get them to come into my room at once.
If I don't do that, a woman like me can't find happiness.
Hiro-chan. It's your fault that everything turned out like this.
People don't live to find happiness.
We each live to carry out our own fate.
What?
It's a passage from "Jean-Christophe" by Romain Rolland.
I really don't know what you're talking about.
You know that I'm not good at reading books, right?
Just like that, you've been making fun of me since long ago.
I've always been envious of you, Yae-chan.
What's that?
Yae-chan. No matter how spoiled you were or whatever bad things you did,
deep inside, you knew that you would be forgiven.
It was like you hit the people around you with a love-me-beam.
Telling them "Love me. Love me more."
That's...
It's something I absolutely can't do.
I couldn't help being jealous of you.
When your mother read books to you before bed,
I was quietly listening at the door.
You didn't know, right?
You know, I'm not as happy as you think I am.
And I have no idea how to become happy in the future.
To tell the truth...
It's a lie that I'm pregnant.
What?
It's no use to have a happiness contest with me.
Yae-chan.
Yeah! Forward! Forward!
Come in.
Stop that, stop that...!
Here I go.
- Okay! - Ah!
Wait, wait...!
It's been a while since I heard this.
They're laughing so much.
Truth is, Chouji-san called me.
"If you're troubled with something, I can always take care of the kids."
- Forward! Forward! -I'm beat! I'm beat!
Break! Break! Let me take a break!
I surrender. I surrender. I'm beat.
Ah, Look, look. You mother is back.
I'm sorry you two.
As an apology, will we eat something good?
Come on. What are you going say?
You guys are great, answering with your stomachs!
What's wrong, Mother?
I'm sorry.
Mother, don't cry!
I'm sorry.
Okay! Ai-chan and Makoto-kun...
From now on, you have to protect your mother, okay?
But if you really get into troubles,
you can always come here, okay?
I probably love him after all...
Did Yaeko-san and the kids get home safely?
Yes.
I see.
Hiro. You haven't eaten right? Should I make something?
What's wrong? Did something happen?
- A lot happened today. - What do you mean by "a lot"?
Ten-chan and Yuu-chan's mother both came to the library.
Did they say anything weird?
Ten-chan...
He told me that he's always loved me.
He said that...
He wanted to properly convey his feelings.
I was wondering about that from the start.
That took him a lot of courage.
And Yuu-chan's mother...
She said that even if you know that that person will not accept you,
what's wrong with telling the one you love that you love them?
I see...
That's why Yuu-chan's mother confessed to you.
That's why...
I think I will follow their example.
What?
I...
That night, 25 years ago,
I felt for the first time that I wasn't alone.
I...
I thought that as long as if I have you, I wouldn't feel lonely again.
- I... - I will do that too.
- What? - I will do that too.
I will properly tell him that I love him.
Thanks to you, I've finally made up my mind.
I will confess to Tamotsu-kun now.
I will frankly tell him that I'm gay.
Ah, really.
I'll tell him my honest feelings. It can't be helped if I'll be rejected.
As my best friend, please wish me luck. Hiro.
Ah, right.
I'll probably be late.
Make sure to lock up before going to bed.
Thank you, Hiro.
This is the worst night of my life...
I fell in love with you.
Next episode:
You'll regret it if you don't convey your feelings properly.
To imagine you'd marry a gay...
Please hug me.
I think we'll separate soon.
