Pick up the pace. Let's go.
Let's break. Good session, everyone.
Um, what is it? What's that song?
Come on, your time's almost up.
Uh… Oh, I know.
-Okay, what is it? -"Tomorrow."
Oh….
Hey, you sound like my phone.
What is it, then?
Only ten days left. Go, go, go!
Go harder.
Nakaji! Nakaji!
-Man, wow. -All right. Let's go.
Want a drink? Hey, Seiichi, here.
Make sure you check on breakouts and back-checks in your line.
-You should have more. -Huh?
Carbs and protein, you need to balance them.
Ah, okay. Okay.
Weren't you going to take Arata's spot as a starter?
That's right. That's what I'm doing.
Ah. I'm looking forward to that.
He's not threatened by me at all, is he?
Hey, Arata. You're gonna come this time for sure, right?
To the mixer?
Uh…
You can't do this to us. Come on.
Bro, I'm begging.
-Please, you have to come. -Mm.
-Bro, there'll be pageant girls there. -That's right.
I even heard that cheerleader's coming.
-It'll be so fun. -She's super cute.
-Oh yeah, she is. -Ryu, you come too.
-I never said I was going. -Why not? Come, bro.
That's a foul!
Arata-san. Hey, Arata.
Hey, what are you doing?
-So, why are you making that face? -What face?
-Hey, this is me, Ryu. -Hi, hi.
-Having any romantic issues? -No.
Get off me!
Ryu! I'm coming.
Ryu! Arata!
Arata, your legs okay?
-No problem. -Okay.
-Someone's in love with you again? -Oh sure.
Hey, popular guy.
SEIO 3 AODAI 3
-There's someone interested in you. -Who's that?
Me.
Huh?
Shoot!
I have feelings.
Feelings for you.
SEIO 4 AODAI 3
Yeah!
No, I can do it.
Just let me do it.
It's too late.
I bought the tickets. I'll pay for them myself…
SEIICHI: WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE REPLY. NO ONE BLAMES YOU.
You said you were just friends.
Did you lie to your own dad? Wait, Lukas.
I knew this would happen. That's why I had to lie.
No, I'm not making a boxing outfit.
Stop this.
What will everyone think? It's bad for the family if my son is gay.
-We can't even go to church. -You always only think about yourself.
-We're leaving. Get in the car. -You're my dad.
If I can't be with him, there's no point in living.
-God will not forgive you. -If God won't allow it…
-Hey, Ryu. -…I'll destroy it all.
-Watch your mouth. -I got us both a ticket. So, come.
What is it?
I'm going to a boxing match.
Sure. I'll go with you, I guess.
So why boxing?
There's a competition at school,
and I'd like to win it.
The idea I'd like to go with is
gorgeous fists.
-Fists. -And beauty.
And beauty.
But, tell me, is this okay?
-Is what okay? -The ice hockey.
You're missing all your practice and stuff.
I've played since I was a kid.
I need a refresh every now and then.
This is a refresh?
You look like you're lazing around.
Lazing around overseas, refreshing.
You're gonna get so chubby,
especially your arms.
Chubby, huh?
-Hey, cheers. -Cheers.
Yeah.
-Johan. -Okay. Have a nice evening.
No.
It's just that if you focus on the story,
it will inevitably bring in money.
Yeah, that's true. Stories definitely bring in money.
You're here.
Was the hotel to your liking, then?
Yeah.
Here you go.
It's an advance payment.
Ah… I trust you.
Do your job well.
Yes, sir.
All human beings commit sins.
My theme is salvation from sin,
which… which may sound a bit presumptuous, but, uh…
In other words, it's about… liberation.
-Right. -I think that your theme, it's a bit odd.
-Um, do you know… -I'm gonna get a drink, okay?
-Uh, can you… -Oh, sure.
-So… -What?
Based on his taste in fashion, he's not exactly your boyfriend type, is he?
I told you, he's just a childhood friend.
-Are you sure about it? -I'm sure.
Here.
Um… Layla just said
you should check out her work sometime, Ryu.
Check it out?
Check it out, Ryu. Take a good look.
Layla makes sculptures using human sin as her theme.
Look.
Everything starts from looking. This is the church where the art pieces will be.
So, she's going to display her work at the church near my place.
Wanna check it out before a boxing match sometime?
Hm. Sounds great.
-About what we were talking about earlier… -Mm-hmm.
I once heard that cherry blossoms--
At the time,
I couldn't say anything.
I couldn't move.
Learning
about how I really felt
scared me.
Arata-san.
Hey, Arata.
Hey. What are you doing? You're being silly.
-So, why are you making that face? -What face?
-Hey, this is me, Ryu. -Hi, hi.
Having any romantic issues?
Oh, that party.
-You going? -Hmm…
I'm not so good with stuff like that.
What about you?
Mmm, not likely.
Mmm?
Oh…
-Ah, someone's in love with you again? -Oh sure.
-Ah. Oh, popular guy. -What is this? Quit it, will ya?
-You know… -Mm-hmm?
-There's someone interested in you. -Who?
Me.
What?
Like I said…
I have feelings…
for you.
Are you shocked?
Sorry to dump this on you before a match.
It's okay.
I don't… need an answer or anything.
I'm okay with…
just having you know how I feel, that's all.
I feel like…
that's enough to change my world.
Well,
good night, then.
Yeah.
You know…
there's someone interested in you.
Who?
Me.
I…
…cast aside…
…his feelings.
I'm…
a bad person.
Being liked…
Being liked scared me.
I'm sorry.
Damn it! Why is it always me?
Wait.
Hey, stop!
Wait!
I see.
I'm sorry.
Your feelings…
and your life,
I ruined all of it.
Hey!
Arata,
I'm sorry.
Ryu!
Oh, Ryu.
Oh, thank goodness.
Was I…
…saved by someone?
Mm-hmm.
They say
you were found unconscious next to another man who was
here next to you, but he must have slipped out.
I see.
So, how are you feeling?
Same as ever.
Yeah? What are you doing?
Nothing really.
You're reading manga again, aren't you?
You should mind your own business.
You really do love that stuff, don't you?
Is that bad?
How's Berlin treating you?
It's okay.
You got a sec?
Um…
Sorry I've kept quiet till now.
You would have been worried, I know.
Mm-mm.
To be honest, I…
fled…
Japan.
Eh?
Here.
Can I watch?
I have feelings…
for you.
What?
Are you shocked?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Moshi moshi?
Um… sorry.
Are… are you alone right now?
Mm-hmm. Seiichi's in the bath.
Uh…
Um, what's the deal with Arata?
What?
Oh. Uh, well…
You were walking with him by the riverside earlier, right?
So?
Uh, well I… I…
I was wondering if he… said anything.
-What? -Uh, no, no, I…
I just mean, I, uh…
I just had that kind of vibe, you know.
I… I had a feeling maybe he was into that sort of thing.
So it's just…
Are you gonna start dating?
No, of course not.
Wait. I… I'm not trying to be rude or say it in a bad way.
I just wanted to say it's okay with me.
Well, it's…
You know, it's…
So you're not into that sort of thing, right?
Well, I'm sorry. I… I'm not trying to be weird.
Really.
Sorry, I'll let you go.
No. I…
I totally didn't realize.
I'm really sorry.
Inviting you to a mixer and stuff, that was so insensitive.
Hey, come on.
You were totally using him as an excuse to invite girls.
Oh yeah, so true.
Obviously, we're totally, you know, fine with that sort of stuff.
-Totally. -It's okay. He's chick bait.
Good morning.
Well, I better be going.
See you.
Um… I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to tell everyone.
I just thought we should accept Arata for who he is.
Accept him?
What are you saying?
So this is referring to the cerebrum.
And it was believed that humans first accept information…
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THAT TO HAPPEN
This is called behaviorism.
Meanwhile, Tolman claimed that individuals have different reactions
to the same stimulus
when placing an organism between the stimulus and response.
This is called neobehaviorism.
With this new theory,
different individual responses from the same information…
Ryu.
A word.
I just heard…
Arata,
uh,
jumped.
What?
He's in hospital.
Uh… I don't know the details yet.
But we were in the changing rooms with him this whole time, right?
Yeah.
I mean, from his point of view,
the men's room must be the same as, uh…
It's like if we went into the women's changing room.
-Yeah, exactly. So crazy. -Isn't that crazy?
-Maybe I'll try going in. -No, you'll get caught.
The person you have called is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I'm sorry.
I am.
-Arata. -Hey, Ryu.
Where are you right now? The game's about to start.
Ryu.
Hey.
Can you hear me?
I'M OFF TO SCHOOL. EAT IT WHEN YOU GET HUNGRY. -SU
Hello, this is the Berlin Police calling.
He's Korean, but not from this country.
It seems he tried to save you.
He's presently a suspect, but he doesn't appear to have any motive.
You mentioned that there were two people, and they were arguing.
We're having trouble because he won't tell us anything
about the other person who was allegedly there.
Um…
-Excuse me. -What?
Uh, my name is Ryu Narutaki.
Uh, you helped me
at the church.
Are you… Japanese?
Yes.
Uh… I am.
I can speak English too.
Oh, that's good.
I wanna thank you for saving me.
Oh.
Um…
Don't mention it.
Ciao.
Hey, wait.
Just… just… wait. Please.
The confessional
at the church…
Um, you were on the other side, weren't you?
That's none of your business, is it? Hmm?
Well, that's true, but I just…
What do you want from me?
Uh, want?
-Mm. -Uh, uh, uh… I don't really know.
Hmm.
Your sins, they don't… concern me at all.
Besides, I think you're not even Christian.
Huh?
Yeah, the…
Where you were sitting, it's where the priest sits.
Oh, I see.
It's not your business.
Do you get it? Hm?
Hey. Did I… do something to offend you?
You didn't do anything.
Neither did I.
So I don't need your thanks.
We're just two people who crossed paths in the city
and won't ever meet again, right?
Have a nice life.
What a pathetic guy.
-I'm back. -Welcome back.
-Sorry I didn't eat this. -Hmm?
Oh, it really doesn't matter.
Where did you go off to?
Hey! You really don't have to eat it.
You won't have any room for dinner.
It's okay. I eat like a horse.
I went to the police.
I met the guy who saved me.
Oh yeah? What's he like?
Hmm…
I'm not really sure.
But he's totally different to me.
Hmm, yeah.
-Hmm. -Mmm.
Mm, I'll help.
Okay.
Thank you. In that case,
maybe I could have you peel these.
Thank you.
Uh, so, tomorrow at the boxing match we're watching, we'll go…
…"Aah!"
You know? "Aah!"
Aah! Like that?
That's it.
You know, when I was in high school
and we went to see that big ice hockey match,
you crashed straight into the other team, like kaboom!
And when I saw you do that, I went, "Aah!" Just like that.
It's hard to describe,
but it kind of gave me courage to see my skinny friend
take on all those massive opponents.
Ryu.
Excuse me.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for the WBG match semi-main event.
Let's welcome the boxers to the ring.
Fighting out of the blue corner,
Hwang Johan!
Whoo!
Hwang Johan!
Huh?
-Hm? What? -Oh, nothing.
…red corner, Felix Ackermann!
The moment I stepped into the ring,
I tried not to look at the audience.
Because I had a feeling that everything was about to begin,
the fun things, the pain, and the suffering too.
Okay.
Don't get caught up in his temper.
Stay true to your style. Got it?
I'm ready.
Give it up for K-Fist, Hwang Johan!
Hwang Johan.
It is on this day that our story begins. ng too.
