Hey, you guys, don't get physical!
Hey, boys, break it up!
When D=0, it will have a real solution.
When D equals zero,\Nthere's one real solution.
And finally, when D is negative...
And finally, when D is negative…
What lies beyond the curtains...
The school building next to ours.
of the school building next to ours...
Beyond those curtains.
is a world I'll probably\Nnever come in contact with.
It's a world\NI'll never have anything to do with.
Listen properly...
THE FRAGRANT FLOWER BLOOMS WITH DIGNITY
You're the ones who bumped into us.
Listen, man.
Huh? What?\NAre you saying it's our fault?
You're the ones who bumped into me.
We've been saying that this whole time.
Huh? What?\NYou're saying we're the bad guys here?
We even moved half a step back.
That's what I keep telling you.\NI even stepped out of the way.
- You see, at that time...\N- Yeah, yeah.
So then, you know what?
Ah...
Seriously, just drop it already.
You guys are being seriously persistent.
-Pretty sure you did it on purpose--\N-Hey.
I mean, you bumped into us on purpo—
-Huh?\N-Those are Chidori uniforms, aren't they?
Hey.
You know a tall, blond guy?\NOur junior had a run-in with him.
Huh?
Figured we'd give him our regards.
That uniform means... You guys are from Chidori, right?
Saku, by "blond," do you think they mean…
Do you know a tall guy with blond hair?
Oh, you're talking about Rintaro?
Our junior is in his debt.
He's not here right now…
We just wanted to say hi.
Huh? What's your deal?
Saku-kun, blond hair... could it be...
Oh, you mean Rintaro?
Ah...
If so, he should be...
Ah.
Ah...
Huh? What is it?
Did these guys do something?
Did these guys do something?
If that's the case...
If so, I--
Whoa!
Classic Rintaro. You always come through.
Yea~ As amazing as always, Rintaro.
Would you guys quit bothering people?
You guys, stop bothering other people.
You better get your eyes checked!\NWe were the victims here!
Huhhhhhh?
-If anything, this is on you!\N-Me?
Get your damn eyes checked!\NWe were the victims!
They said their junior\Nhad a run-in with you.
All because of you!
What the heck did you do?
Me?
Come on, Usami, take it easy.
They said their junior was in your debt or something.
Let's get going, or we'll be late.
What did you do now?
Now, now, Usami, calm down.
Let's hurry, we'll be late.
Hey!
Hey!
Oh... It was probably that.
Right, I think I know what that was about.
I heard voices arguing near my place last night.
I heard people arguing\Noutside my house last night.
Something about cheating\Nand it being a misunderstanding.
Going on about cheating\Nand it being a misunderstanding.
Pathetic.
Lame.
So, I had no choice but to go see...
So I figured\NI should go see what was going on.
You're the worst!
You're the worst!
The guy got slapped, and I felt bad leaving him there,
The guy got slapped,\Nand I felt kinda bad leaving him there.
so I called out to him.
So I went up and talked to him.
And then...
But then…
You okay?
You good?
Then he toppled over and ran.
GASP
Not gonna lie, I feel bad for the guy.
He ran off, tripping over himself.
Running into Rintaro at night's a nightmare.
Not gonna lie, I kinda feel for the guy.
You have a powerful presence.
Running into you at night\Nwould freak me out too.
Probably thought he was gonna get killed..
You can be pretty intimidating.
Kill...
He must've thought\Nyou were gonna kill him.
Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault.
Kill?
Just kidding. It was a misunderstanding.
Sure, sure. It's all my fault.
Ah, girls from Kikyo.
Don't be like that.\NIt was a misunderstanding, right?
It's true! After that...
-Oh, Kikyo students.\N-No way!
Oh.
I swear. I'll show you later--
Hey, you dropped this.
Hey, you dropped this.
You can just throw that away.
-You can throw it away.\N-Huh?
Huh?
I've just lost all my desire to use it.
I just decided I don't want to use it anymore.
They sure do hate us, don't they?
They really hate us, same as usual.
Guess they got flustered by my good looks.
Hmm...
Talk about a positive spin!
I bet they were just flustered \N'cause of my good looks!
Anyway, not like it matters.
So positive.
Those princesses\Nwant nothing to do with us idiots.
Well, not like it matters.
Kikyo Private Academy Girls' High School.
Those princesses don't wanna deal with morons like us.
A prestigious school\Nfor elite young ladies.
Kikyo Private Academy for Girls.
But when it comes to us,
A prestigious, traditional school for dignified noble ladies.
they don't act like ladies at all.
But towards us...
Huh?
There's not a trace of "noble lady" in them.
Chidori Public High School.
Chidori Public High School.
A school for the low class, full of morons.
A bottom-feeder school\Nwhere all the idiots end up.
Just as you can see.
As you can see.
The Kikyo girls openly despise Chidori boys..
The girls at Kikyo\Nopenly despise the boys at Chidori.
Despite our schools being next to each other,\Nwe've never even once seen their classrooms.
Even though it's just next door,
Once we all graduate, we won't have anything\Nto do with each other again.
we've never seen\Nthe inside of their classroom.
Crap...
After graduation, we won't have\Nanything to do with their kind anyway.
Hey, Rintaro.
Hey, Rintaro.
Let's go to karaoke after school!
Let's all hit up karaoke after school.
Ah, sorry, I gotta pass, today.
Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna pass today.
Eh? What? Don't tell me you have a girlfriend?
Wait, what?\NDon't tell me you've got a girlfriend!
No, I don't, idiot.
Of course not, idiot.
Alright, take your seats.
All right, take your seats.
Okay!
Yes, sir.
Rintaro, you're late! It's already 6 o'clock!
Rintaro, you're late! It's already 6!
Even if you wanna say that,
Come on, cut me some slack.\NIt's a long walk from school.
the school is quite far, so it can't be helped.
And it started pouring\Non the way back too.
Plus, it started pouring on my way back.
Anyway, you sure you want\Na scary guy like me at the counter?
Besides, are you sure about \Nhaving a delinquent like me on duty?
Don't worry.\NThere's only one customer right now.
It's fine. We've only \Ngot one customer right now,
And no one else\Nis gonna show up in this rain.
and the rain's gonna keep other folks at home.
Besides, we've got tomorrow's prep.
But still, we have to prep for tomorrow,
We're short-staffed today,\Nand you're the only one free.
we're short-staffed today, \Nand you're the only one I could ask.
All right, I'm counting on you. I'm off!
Well then, I'm counting on you. I'm off.
Fine.
Alright.
My folks run a cake shop,\Nso they drag me in to help out sometimes.
My family owns a cake shop.\NSo sometimes, they force me to help out.
Not that I've ever mentioned\Nthe family business to anyone at school.
I've never told anybody at school about it.
Right.
Hm?
She did say there was a customer.
Come to think of it,\Nshe did say there was one customer.
Huh?
Huh?
Mmm!
What? Oh, sorry. Are you okay?
Huh? Oh, s-sorry.
I'll get you some water.
Are you okay?
I'll... I'll get you some water.
Phew... Sorry about that.
Don't be. It was my fault.
What a shocker.
I had no idea a girl could eat this much...
She's so tiny. A middle schooler, maybe?
Th-thank you for the meal!
Oh!
Th-thank... you... very much.
Ah... Did I scare her off?
Oh, that was Waguri-san.
Waguri-san?
She stops by a few times every month.
We started talking and got acquianted.
A regular, huh.
But, why are you asking that...
Hmm?
She ran away when she saw me...
If she stops coming here, it'll be on me.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Why would it be your fault?
No, I should be the one apologizing.
Besides, she's not that kind of person.
What the heck?
You just blame yourself for everything.
I didn't know a girl could eat so much.
She's tiny. Is she in middle school?
Everything was delicious.
Thank you.
Please… come again.
Guess I scared her off.
Oh, her? That's Ms. Waguri.
Ms. Waguri?
She's been coming by a few times a month.
We hit it off once we got talking.
So she's a regular.
Wait, why are you even asking?
STARE
She saw me and bolted.
If she stops coming here,\Nthat's on me. Sorry.
Why would it be on you?
Ms. Waguri isn't that kind of person.
And you always blame yourself\Nfor everything.
It's a bad habit.
It's a bad habit.
And if she really stops coming after this,\N then I'll reel her back in with our cakes...
Anyway, if she really stops coming,\NI'll win her back with our cake.
I'll make her fall in love with our shop all over again.
She'll be hooked again in no time.
Hey, let's go.
Come on, let's go.
Man, I'm starving.
Man, I'm starving.
That girl...
What if I traumatized her or something?
What if she's traumatized?
I can't exactly search every middle school\Naround here just to apologize to her.
I can't just hunt down all the nearby \Nmiddle schools and apologize...
I mean, I'd look like a total creep.
Besides, that would be way too suspicious.
Hey, you okay?
Hey, what's up?
Something on your mind?
Something troubling you?\NIs it our turn to hear you out?
Need our help?
No, it's nothing.
Nah, it's nothing.
I'll go buy some lunch.\NYou guys can start without me.
I'm gonna go buy lunch.\NYou guys start without me.
Hm... okay.
Okay.
Y'know, Rintaro really does have\N a wall up between us.
Is it just me,
Wh-What is it?!
or does Rintaro always\Nkeep people at a distance?
What the heck?!
Rintaro!
Rintaro!
Waguri-san's here.
Ms. Waguri's here.
She said she wants to talk to you.
She says she wants to see you.
She's actually here.
She's actually here.
Uh... hello.
Hello.
Uhm...
Right…
About before...
About yesterday…
Uhm. Let me treat you to something!
Well…
Allow me to treat you.
Huh?
Huh?
Wait, what is this?!
THE FRAGRANT FLOWER BLOOMS WITH DIGNITY
Being treated to my own family bakery's cake by a girl younger than me?
Wait, what is this?! A younger girl\Ntreating me to cake at my family's place?
Uhm...
So…
For running away last time without a word...
Sorry for suddenly running off\Nlike that yesterday.
I'm very sorry.
Please have that cake.\NIt's my way of apologizing.
Oh...
Wait, but…
This cake is my apology, so please have it.
I can't just accept this.
Oh, no... I can't accept this...
Here.
You can have it.
What? No, it's for you!
What?! No, this is for you!
It's fine.
It's alright.
This one's really good, so please try it.
This one is delicious, so please try it.
But…
But...
-Thank you. I'll try it then.\N-Sure.
Ah...
Cake aside,
Mmm...
she really does love to eat.
Sorry, I'll have some.
Okay.
Not just cake...
This girl must love to eat.
Welcome.
Welcome.
I must have surprised you.
Sorry if I surprised you.
Hm?
Yesterday…
Yesterday...
Not many people\Neat that much on their own, do they?
You don't usually see someone eating that much by themselves, do you?
Guess not.
Yes...
Of course.
I thought so.
There were no other customers,\Nso I couldn't wait until I got home.
Since I was the only one in the shop at the time...
May I ask your name?
I just couldn't wait until I'd gotten home.
Mine is Kaoruko Waguri.
Uhm... May I know your name?
My name is Kaoruko Waguri.
I'm Rintaro Tsumugi.
I'm Rintaro Tsumugi.
I see, Rintaro-kun.
I see… Rintaro.
So you're Rintaro-kun.
Rintaro, huh?
This girl...
Why would she want to know\Nabout someone like me?
Why would she want to know\Nanything about someone like me?
Now I finally know.
I finally know it.
Finally?
Finally?
Ah!
No!
Ah, n-no, that's... that's not...
It's not like that!
Th-That's not what I meant!
I've actually seen you around here before.
W-well, the truth is, um...\NI'd seen you around before.
You help out from time to time, right?
You sometimes help at here, right?
Oh, yeah.
Ah, yes.
So that wasn't our first meeting?
What? That wasn't our first meeting?
I hadn't realized.
I had no idea.
Wait, so you didn't run off\Nbecause you were scared of me?
Huh?
What? Of course not!
So you didn't dash outta here \Nbecause you were scared of me?!
I've seen you plenty of times before.
Huh? No, of course not.
I've seen you several times here.
Then why?
Then why?
W-well, that's...
Well…
It's just that...
because…
That was the first time a boy\Never stared at me like that...
I've never had a guy\Nstare at me like that before.
It made my heart race... that's all.
I got a little flustered… that's all.
Aah...
Huh? Flustered?
Huh? Her heart raced?
By me? Why?
Because of me? Why?
Normally, people get scared\Nwhen someone like me stares at them.
The average person would get scared when they look at me, right?
It's always been that way.
Up until now, every single one has...
I don't get it!
I... I don't get her!
It's already dark out.
I-it's gotten dark outside.
Let me walk you to the station.\NIt can get dangerous.
I'll walk you to the station. It's dangerous.
What?
Huh?
Oh, you're right.
Oh, you're right.
Could I buy some cake? It won't take long!
Can I buy some cake first? I'll be quick.
Huh? S-sure, go ahead.
Huh? Sure, go ahead.
Are you sure you'll be fine?
Are you sure you'll be okay on your own?
Yes. The train station is close by.
Yes, the station's pretty close from here.
Well then.
Well then.
Ah, one more thing!
One more thing!
Before, you asked if I ran away \Nbecause I was scared of you...
You asked earlier if I ran off\Nbecause I was scared of you.
but I have never once considered \Nyou scary, Rintaro-kun.
But I've never once\Nthought of you as scary, Rintaro.
Believe me, okay?
Believe me, okay?
Thank you for the treat.
Thank you for the cake.
Rintaro, quiet down!
Rintaro, quiet down!
I seriously don't get it.
I seriously don't get it.
Rintaro-kun is so scary, right?
Isn't Rintaro scary?
He glared at me the other day.
He glared at me the other day.
I heard Rintaro-kun's family owns a cake shop.
I heard his family runs a cake shop.
With that look?
With those looks?\NIt totally doesn't fit his vibe.
That doesn't fit him.
Ever since I was a kid,
Ever since I was a kid,
I've only ever been told negative things.
all I ever received were put-downs.
It made my heart race... that's all.
I got a little flustered… that's all.
I have never once considered \Nyou scary, Rintaro-kun.
I've never once thought of you\Nas scary, Rintaro.
- Rintaro!\N- Gak!
Rintaro!
Ow... What was that fo—
-What the heck?!\N-Look at this!
This!
Isn't this Ms. Waguri's cake?
This cake is Waguri-san's, right?
Up close,\Nyou're seriously tiny, aren't you?
You look even tinier up close like this!
How adorable.
Cutie.
Please let go of me.
P-please let me go.
Huh? Don't be like that.
Huh?
Let's go have some fun.
Don't say that. Why don't \Nwe go have some fun together?
I found this lying just down that street\Nwhen I stepped out to close up shop.
When I went outside to close up shop,
You made sure Ms. Waguri\Ngot home safe, right?
I saw it lying on the street.
Where is she?
Did you make sure that she got home safely?
So, why were you hanging out\Nwith Rintaro earlier?
Where is she...
Anyway, why were you with Rintaro-kun earlier?
Are you his girlfriend?
Are you his girlfriend?
No.
No.
Yeah, there's no way!\NYou two are polar opposites, after all.
Yeah, I figured as much.
It's those guys from yesterday.
He's completely different\Nfrom someone like you.
What are they doing here?
Those are the guys from yesterday.\NWhat're they doing here?
He's famous for being terrifying, you know.
He's got a reputation\Nfor being terrifying.
Did you know? He's a delinquent.
Did you know he's a delinquent?
A delinquent?
A delinquent?
Apparently he was feared by everyone \Nin middle school, too!
Yup! Word has it he was bad news\Neven back in middle school.
Heard it from someone knew him.
I heard it from someone\Nwho actually knew him.
He's attending a school for outcasts. \NHe's even surrounded by them.
He goes to some dumb school\Nand even has a bunch of cronies.
Nothing good will come from being with him, y'know?
Nothing good will come\Nfrom being with him.
I see.
I see.
That explains why there's weird people \Nconstantly approaching me.
With all the trash they're spewing,\Nno wonder weirdos keep turning up.
Mind you, can't deny that bit about our school.
Then again, it is a dumb school,\Nso I guess I can't really complain.
Is that so?
Is that so?
That's scary.
How scary.
Right?
Right? Getting involved\Nwith him is dangerous.
Hanging out with him will put you in danger.
So come hang with us…
So, hang out with u—
How can you judge someone\Njust based on gossip?
How blindly you believe rumors
to determine what kind of person he is.
Huh?
Huh?
Have you ever talked to Rintaro-kun in person?
Have you ever actually talked to Rintaro?
Why don't you try talking to him once?
Why not give it a try?
No, I'm not gonna talk to him.
Nah, not happening.
I'm sure you'll quickly realize how wonderful he is!
I think you'd see\Nhe's actually a really nice person.
Like I care if he's wonderful or not...
Like I care if he's nice or not.
It's all right if you don't want to.
If you don't want to talk to him,\Nthat's fine.
But at the very least, if you're not even \Ngoing to try to get to know him,
At the very least, could you stop\Nbadmouthing him behind his back?
could you stop speaking \Nbadly of him behind his back...
It's highly unpleasant.
It's unpleasant.
Since you were with him,\NI figured I'd use you to get to him.
Ah well.
But I changed my mind.
I was just going to use you and get some payback on him
You…
but I've changed my mind.
What're you doing here?
Y-you...
You said you wanted to get to me, right?
Why are you here?
How did that work out?
You wanted to get back at me, right?
-Sorry!\N-Sorry!
Are you satisfied now?
Rintaro!
Ah, no...
We're very sorry!
Ri-Rintaro-kun!
You're bleeding!
You're bleeding!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault, Waguri-san.
It's not your fault, Ms. Waguri.
Rather than the actual punch,
It wasn't the punch. I just hit my head\Nagainst the shutter from the impact.
the impact of my head \Nhitting the wall is what caused this.
That's not okay either!
Either way, it's not okay!
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
If I'd known it'd upset you,\NI would've stopped the punch.
If I knew this would happen,\NI would have stopped his punch instead.
You took it on purpose?! Why?
You took that punch on purpose? Why?
As punishment… I guess.
As a punishment... I guess.
Huh?
Huh?
You told me to believe you, and yet...
You told me to believe you, and yet…
I'm sorry you got dragged into \Nthis mess because of me!
I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess.
No... Please lift your head.
Don't say that. Please lift your head.
It's not your fault, Rintaro-kun.
This wasn't your fault, Rintaro.
It is my fault.
It was my fault.
If you're not even going to try to get to know him,
At the very least, could you stop\Nbadmouthing him behind his back?
could you stop speaking \Nbadly of him behind his back...
I put such a kind person\Nthrough something so terrifying.
I got such a kind person into a terrifying mess.
It's my fault.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I just don't get it.
I cannot understand what part of you\N is supposed to be scary.
I honestly don't see\Nwhat's so scary about you.
All I see is a kind soul.
You're such a kind person.
I've haven't told you properly, have I?
I still haven't told you properly, have I?
Thank you for saving me.
Thank you for saving me.
Damn it.
Damn it.
I'm used to people thinking\Nthe worst of me because of my looks.
I'm used to people judging me\Nbecause of how I look.
I don't expect to be praised.
I never expected anyone to acknowledge me.
I'd given up on all of it...
I'd given up on that, and yet…
yet now I'm finding myself asking for more.
now I almost crave it.
Thank you very much for escorting me back.
Thank you for walking me all the way here.
Is your injury okay?
Are you sure your injury's okay?
Yes, something like this will heal in no time.
Yeah. It'll heal in no time.
Please be careful on your way home.
Be careful on your way home.
Yes, I will be.
Yes, I will.
Well then.
Well then.
Rintaro-kun!
Rintaro!
Huh?
Huh?
I'll... I'll stop by again.
I… I'll come by your shop again.
So...
So…
Let's eat some cake together next time!
next time, let's have cake together, okay?
Yes.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm heading home now.
I'm on my way home now.
I arrived here early.
I got here too early.
My eyes... I didn't get much sleep last night.
I'm exhausted. Couldn't sleep last night.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Waguri-san... I wonder when she'll stop by next?
Ms. Waguri…\NI wonder when she's gonna stop by again.
Hm?
That's unusual.\NAre they gonna open the curtain?
How unusual.
Why? What's Ms. Waguri doing there?
Are they gonna open it?
Wait, so she's not younger than me?
Hah!
Ms. Waguri…
Why... why is she there?
is a student at Kikyo?
Wait, wasn't she younger than me?
EPISODE 1\NRINTARO AND KAORUKO
Ah...
You've gotta be kidding me.
Waguri-san's... a student at Kikyo?

Are you serious?
