04:40.810 --> 04:45.740 Until second grade, Haru was a totally normal kid like any other. 04:46.060 --> 04:50.000 He caused trouble at times, but he was sort of a mood maker, 04:50.000 --> 04:52.190 and I think everyone generally liked him. 04:52.640 --> 04:55.780 When he debuted as an actor in third grade, 04:55.780 --> 04:57.560 he didn't get any major roles. 04:57.930 --> 05:02.950 But after he was chosen for the lead role in Child Star in fourth grade, 05:02.950 --> 05:05.510 the environment around him changed. 05:06.390 --> 05:10.920 It seemed like a wall was forming between him and everyone else. 05:10.920 --> 05:13.230 He was always very down-to-earth, 05:13.230 --> 05:17.680 so being the center of people's attention and envy must have felt gross to him. 05:18.340 --> 05:20.750 He became more and more isolated. 05:22.210 --> 05:25.370 Then in fifth grade, that accident happened. 05:25.910 --> 05:29.650 Haru was in a state where nobody's voice could reach him. 05:29.650 --> 05:34.150 When he disappeared from TV and people started saying irresponsible things, 05:34.150 --> 05:38.410 Haru was so hurt that he wasted away and isolated himself. 05:39.290 --> 05:42.830 The reason he still came to my house to eat meals so often 05:42.830 --> 05:46.870 was because his father started taking on a lot more stunt work. 05:47.490 --> 05:51.570 No matter how deep he sank, he was still the same Haru to my sisters. 05:52.470 --> 05:55.070 That's just the sort of kind person he was. 05:56.320 --> 05:58.810 The Haru who was hailed as a star, 05:58.810 --> 06:00.940 the Haru who retired and fell into depression, 06:00.940 --> 06:03.190 the Haru who keeps to himself at school, 06:03.190 --> 06:05.410 the Haru who does fun things with my sisters... 06:06.040 --> 06:08.880 I'm the only one who's seen all of them. 06:08.880 --> 06:13.020 His good sides, his bad sides, his hopes, his disappointments... 06:13.020 --> 06:14.460 I know them all. 06:15.540 --> 06:17.190 Because I'm his childhood friend. 06:17.800 --> 06:21.130 But over time, Haru stopped coming to my house as often. 06:21.950 --> 06:25.000 It was during the spring break before we started middle school 06:25.000 --> 06:28.240 that things changed drastically between Haru and me. 06:28.680 --> 06:32.690 It started when my mom went back to work. 06:32.980 --> 06:38.720 She started asking me to take care of my sisters and the house while she was at work. 06:39.190 --> 06:41.970 Why was I the one she always asked to do that? 06:41.970 --> 06:44.460 I wish I'd been born a younger sister! 06:45.030 --> 06:48.760 The first time I ran away from home, I was angry and scared. 06:49.340 --> 06:50.820 And that's when... 06:52.170 --> 06:54.600 I saw Haru heading off somewhere. 06:55.950 --> 06:57.790 This is... 06:57.790 --> 06:59.800 Do you remember that day?

Friends of the opposite sex are precious, 12:43.410 --> 12:45.850 so I'd be sad to lose one over a love confession. 12:46.160 --> 12:49.080 Besides, we're childhood friends, right? 12:49.290 --> 12:55.530 But that's not a relationship that ends when one of us confesses or gets rejected. 12:55.960 --> 13:01.090 So if we talk it out, we should be able to find even better common ground. 13:01.090 --> 13:03.000 And that's a "childhood girlfriend"? 13:03.220 --> 13:03.980 Yeah. 13:04.300 --> 13:07.310 It's a promise that even though we're not going to date now, 13:07.310 --> 13:11.230 we will later if the circumstances are right. 13:11.230 --> 13:13.260 That's not just saving someone for later? 13:13.260 --> 13:15.870 No, that has ulterior motives, 13:15.870 --> 13:18.180 and it gives the advantage to the one who's been confessed to. 13:18.650 --> 13:20.790 A childhood girlfriend is just a promise, 13:20.790 --> 13:22.330 so it keeps us equal. 13:22.330 --> 13:26.210 If I decide that I don't like this relationship, it's over. 13:26.890 --> 13:31.270 It can be ended at any time, but there's no time limit on a response, 13:31.270 --> 13:34.940 so no one has to stress out or kill all other thoughts to settle on an answer. 13:35.200 --> 13:39.200 If one of us takes an interest in someone else, the other can't fault them. 13:39.200 --> 13:41.160 But there's still a risk of being rejected. 13:41.620 --> 13:45.560 It's a relationship based on a promise that includes all that. 13:45.560 --> 13:48.010 I think I get it, but maybe not... 13:48.010 --> 13:50.130 What is it like, specifically? 13:50.360 --> 13:53.100 Well, let me see. For example... 13:57.030 --> 13:59.690 Holding hands is no problem, right? 14:00.040 --> 14:02.970 We both know we like each other, 14:02.970 --> 14:04.720 so it's actually recommended. 14:04.720 --> 14:05.700 What?! 14:06.310 --> 14:07.620 And what about dating? 14:07.620 --> 14:08.820 I think it's fine. 14:08.820 --> 14:10.480 Touching shoulders or hips? 14:10.480 --> 14:12.010 Depends on the time and place. 14:12.010 --> 14:13.540 What about foreheads and cheeks? 14:13.540 --> 14:15.710 Depends on the time, place, and type of touch. 14:16.620 --> 14:17.520 And kissing? 14:17.520 --> 14:20.040 I think that's the sign that you're ready to be a couple. 14:20.040 --> 14:21.280 And touching your chest? 14:21.280 --> 14:22.410 Scummy. 14:23.630 --> 14:25.370 Honestly, Haru... 14:25.370 --> 14:26.840 Damn it! 14:26.840 --> 14:30.480 My patience! That's a high school boy's instinct! 14:31.600 --> 14:34.300 You really are a dummy, you know that? 14:34.540 --> 14:38.460 That's something to look forward to after you start going out, isn't it? 14:40.170 --> 14:42.930 Crap! My IQ is melting away... 14:46.940 --> 14:48.810 You'd better be ready, Haru. 14:48.810 --> 14:51.980 If you kiss me or do anything pervy, we're officially a couple. 14:52.250 --> 14:55.720 I'm fine with this childhood girlfriend thing, but are you? 14:55.720 --> 14:57.190 Of course I am. 14:57.610 --> 15:01.910 It puts me in a position close to being your girlfriend without getting rejected. 15:02.700 --> 15:05.700 And if I have a chance at being your girlfriend with enough effort... 15:06.030 --> 15:08.380 It'll motivate me to try harder at all kinds of things! 15:09.570 --> 15:11.600 But you have to put effort in, too. 15:11.780 --> 15:14.510 If you don't give me enough attention, 15:14.510 --> 15:16.800 I might just go away. 15:16.800 --> 15:18.800 O-Okay... I'll try. 15:19.070 --> 15:20.440 With studying, especially. 15:20.440 --> 15:21.530 That's right. 15:21.710 --> 15:24.930 Your big sister will help you again. 15:26.610 --> 15:31.080 Also, this relationship is a secret. Okay? 15:31.710 --> 15:33.940 Y-Yeah... I got it. 15:36.260 --> 15:38.390 Logic is melting... 15:39.510 --> 15:42.680 Come on, we're going home, Haru. Walk! 15:42.680 --> 15:44.310 R-Right... 15:50.710 --> 15:53.720 \h\hP.S. Also, about the true ending of Child King... I'm looking forward to it just a tiny bit. 15:50.710 --> 15:53.720 Shion 16:02.850 --> 16:05.770 Kai Tetsuhiko 16:02.850 --> 16:05.770 New Message 16:02.850 --> 16:05.770 \h\h\h\h\hJust got your interview \h\h\h\hfootage with Shida-chan. \h\hAll that's left is the true ending. All good, right? 16:06.770 --> 16:09.730 Child King: The True Ending 16:06.770 --> 16:09.730 The Ultramarine Alliance 16:14.860 --> 16:18.440 It'll be fine. I can switch into gear without a problem. 16:23.580 --> 16:26.040 Entertainment Club 16:23.740 --> 16:26.040 Ah, I thought you'd be here. 16:26.040 --> 16:26.740 Ugh. 16:26.740 --> 16:29.960 I saw the documentary and the true ending. 16:30.260 --> 16:33.540 It made me remember how it felt when I decided I wanted to be an actor. 16:33.540 --> 16:36.260 Feel free to tell Sueharu that personally. 16:33.550 --> 16:36.260 Home Videos Playlists Channel Community About 16:33.550 --> 16:36.260 Uploaded Videos Play All 16:33.550 --> 16:36.260 \hLegendary child actor Maru-chan, now in high school, has a new... 16:33.550 --> 16:36.260 \hWhat happened to Maru-chan that day: a documentary of the true... 16:36.530 --> 16:39.470 No, we never cleared up that initial misunderstanding. 16:39.470 --> 16:41.890 I don't know how I'd even approach him. 16:41.890 --> 16:44.110 Oh, God, you sound like an actual fan. 16:44.110 --> 16:46.410 I don't feel ashamed or anything. 16:46.410 --> 16:49.570 I got to tell you instead. Did it bother you? 16:51.500 --> 16:54.230 So, my thoughts on all this. 16:54.580 --> 16:57.150 I think the top winner was you. 16:57.150 --> 17:00.700 You knew what President Shun was doing from the start. 17:00.700 --> 17:05.190 President Shun's goal was to use Maru-kun's past to damage him. 17:05.480 --> 17:09.110 So you decided to produce a documentary, 17:09.110 --> 17:11.440 so that Maru-kun could overcome his past himself. 17:11.760 --> 17:14.210 The idea of having all three girls who love Maru-kun 17:14.210 --> 17:17.920 take him to places where they have memories with him was fantastic. 17:18.280 --> 17:20.950 That was Maria-chan's idea, actually. 17:20.950 --> 17:21.890 Oh? 17:22.180 --> 17:25.020 I thought if it wasn't your idea, it must've been Shida-san's. 17:25.020 --> 17:27.740 Shida-chan doesn't contribute much on the creative end. 17:28.170 --> 17:32.510 She was a beast again as far as the romantic aspect and Sueharu went, though. 17:32.510 --> 17:34.340 Did she do something? 17:34.340 --> 17:37.310 She was in the tightest pinch she's been in since he rejected her. 17:37.920 --> 17:42.080 Kachi stayed at Sueharu's house and used her best charms on him, 17:42.080 --> 17:44.970 but Sueharu got tired of the whole battle of appeal. 17:45.230 --> 17:48.500 Not to mention, his heart was leaning toward Kachi on the Okinawa trip. 17:49.290 --> 17:53.500 Then the three of them had a meeting and made it a "Sanbou Ichiryouzon" deal. 17:53.850 --> 17:57.120 Did you notice that Kachi had the biggest disadvantage there? 17:57.120 --> 17:57.760 Huh? 17:58.040 --> 18:02.250 The only disadvantage Shida-chan and Maria-chan had was cutting back on the charms. 18:02.250 --> 18:05.710 Kachi had to live with him. That's obviously overkill. 18:05.710 --> 18:06.780 Good point. 18:06.780 --> 18:10.850 And Kachi, the one with the biggest disadvantage, was the one Shida-chan got this agreement out of. 18:10.850 --> 18:11.970 Scary. 18:12.400 --> 18:14.460 But the real game is just getting started. 18:14.460 --> 18:15.500 Meaning? 18:15.500 --> 18:20.090 After filming her part of the documentary, Shida-chan confessed to Sueharu again. 18:20.360 --> 18:24.040 And the moment she could tell he was going to reject her, she canceled it, 18:24.040 --> 18:27.160 and then she proposed a "childhood girlfriend" relationship. 18:27.160 --> 18:28.410 Childhood girlfriend? 18:28.410 --> 18:31.050 Not "more than friends, but less than lovers," 18:31.050 --> 18:34.880 but "a girlfriend who's like a childhood friend that you want to keep a hold on." 18:34.880 --> 18:39.050 She came up with that? No wonder Shirokusa-chan's struggling. 18:39.050 --> 18:43.080 Personally, I thought she hit him in just the right spot. 18:44.090 --> 18:46.230 I think feelings for another person 18:46.230 --> 18:51.520 often start with thinking that they have some kind of interest in you. 18:52.110 --> 18:55.110 If just one side has those feelings, it'll never go anywhere, 18:55.110 --> 18:58.980 so the art of telling them you like them without openly confessing it becomes crucial. 18:59.160 --> 19:02.210 People who are skilled in relationships have that going for them. 19:02.210 --> 19:04.530 Shida-chan threw the ultimate punch of a confession 19:04.530 --> 19:06.400 in the way that would hit him the hardest, 19:06.400 --> 19:08.990 then saved their relationship with the "childhood girlfriend" label as insurance, 19:08.990 --> 19:10.930 creating a way to move forward. 19:11.270 --> 19:14.280 Gotta respect her ability to come up with ideas and act on them. 19:14.280 --> 19:16.840 I'd never have the guts to suggest being a childhood boyfriend, 19:16.840 --> 19:19.010 or the strength to actually make it happen. 19:19.010 --> 19:23.020 Agreed. If I ever suggested that, I'd be killed. 19:23.650 --> 19:26.620 Anyway, I had nothing but praise for Shida-chan all along, 19:26.620 --> 19:30.850 but at the same time, I kinda thought she was just a desperate high school girl. 19:30.850 --> 19:32.030 What do you mean? 19:32.030 --> 19:35.050 Well, she confessed to him, but didn't become his girlfriend. 19:35.050 --> 19:37.460 But Sueharu is still beside her. 19:37.460 --> 19:40.850 That basically means they're back where they were before the confession festival. 19:40.850 --> 19:43.690 If she'd ditched her pride and kept apologizing, 19:43.690 --> 19:45.520 they'd probably be dating right now. 19:45.070 --> 19:47.990 The same goes for Shirokusa-chan... 19:45.520 --> 19:47.990 Pride isn't that easy to just throw away. 19:47.990 --> 19:49.090 Of course. 19:49.090 --> 19:53.540 Which is why I think she's just a desperate high school girl deep down. 19:54.250 --> 19:57.720 By the way, how do you know Shida-san confessed to him? 19:57.970 --> 19:59.640 She told me herself. 19:59.980 --> 20:04.120 She said I'd either figure it out or drag it out of Sueharu eventually anyway, 20:04.120 --> 20:06.590 so she gave me an explanation and a warning in advance. 20:06.590 --> 20:07.480 A warning? 20:07.830 --> 20:10.200 "If you tell anyone, be ready to pay for it." 20:10.200 --> 20:11.750 Wait, but you just— 20:11.750 --> 20:13.680 If it gets out, you're just as guilty as me. 20:13.880 --> 20:19.930 You mean in the sense that if you tell someone else, you can blame me? 20:19.930 --> 20:23.640 You think I would've told you if I didn't stand to gain at least that much? 20:23.640 --> 20:24.940 Oh, man... 20:26.070 --> 20:29.030 Hozumino High School 20:28.310 --> 20:32.140 By the way, did you know you have a fan club now? 20:32.140 --> 20:33.240 What? For real? 20:33.420 --> 20:35.870 It sounds like a lie, but it's true. 20:35.870 --> 20:39.560 Oh, man, what am I gonna do? I'm that popular now? 20:39.560 --> 20:41.830 I didn't even really do anything. 20:42.100 --> 20:44.450 Isn't Maru-senpai hot? 20:44.450 --> 20:46.290 I watched his dance video a hundred times! 20:46.650 --> 20:49.500 Huh... Haru has a fan club, eh? 20:49.680 --> 20:53.230 So there are some scumbags hoping to make a pass at Su-chan. 20:53.390 --> 20:56.690 It looks like they need to learn their place. 20:56.690 --> 20:57.650 I'll crush them. 20:57.650 --> 20:59.350 I'll destroy them. 20:59.350 --> 21:01.080 Let's make them regret it! 21:01.080 --> 21:01.960 Huh? 22:48.380 --> 22:50.030 Ren-kun? 22:50.030 --> 22:50.790 Nina... 22:50.790 --> 22:51.520 Ren-kun! 22:51.520 --> 22:53.310 Heya, Nina-chan! 22:53.890 --> 22:55.390 Wait...

You're awake! 22:59.030 --> 23:00.730 Thank goodness! 23:01.050 --> 23:02.280 Hina? 23:03.430 --> 23:04.590 And Mirei... 23:08.550 --> 23:11.280 You were asleep for six years, Ren-kun. 23:11.280 --> 23:12.070 I was? 23:12.850 --> 23:14.520 We all waited for you. 23:15.290 --> 23:19.490 So many times, we thought you'd never wake up again. 23:19.490 --> 23:21.450 Welcome back, Ren-kun. 23:21.450 --> 23:22.390 Thanks. 23:22.390 --> 23:24.580 It's because of you three that I could... 23:24.580 --> 23:28.470 no, that I made it back. 23:29.190 --> 23:30.760 As long as I have you three... 23:31.490 --> 23:33.150 I don't need anything else. 23:36.810 --> 23:37.880 Thank you.
