Not knowing what time it is.

And also Not even knowing where I am.
It's a famous place in the neighborhood for being delicious.
Do you like peaches? I don't too much.
Why?! Sorry.
Well then, have this.
Here you go.
Because I don't have any where else to go I'm in my house.
But I, the invisible person, who can't be seen by anyone am the same as not being there no matter where I go.
Ah! You're her sister, right? Chika's Do you have a cold? Sorry for bothering you.
I didn't hear that she had a sister.
.
We're going to be in the same class for the next three years.
Keito, sorry but.
.
Could you be a little more careful about Chika? She tried so hard on her exams, and finally got into her school of choice.
And also, she's finally made friends, right? When friends are here, if you could just be careful not to come down in your pajamas like that When are her friends leaving? Huh? It's better if I'm not around, right? I'll be outside until then.
I stopped going to school in my fourth year of elementary school.
Since then, the world has always existed apart from me.
It seems like there people cry, laugh, and get mad, but that has nothing to do with me.
Aoyama! I said Aoyama.
You sure haven't changed at all.
Always spacing out.
You don't remember me? I Hawasawa Taiyou.
Year 4 Class 1.
I can perfectly remember anything that has to do with the past.
So you remember? That's because my time has stopped.
Well then, do you remember that my house is.
.
a little left of the slope behind that house? Could it be that you came here to see me? No way! I wasthis is the closest park from my house.
What're you gettin' all anxious for? The part of you that couldn't take a joke sure hasn't changed.
Hey! Where're you going? S-shopping.
What're you going to buy? TV magazines and stuff.
They should have them at that convenient store.
I'll come with you.
Huh?! Mori Yousuke started going out with Yamaguchi?! WowI had no idea Harasawa Taiyou, a classmate from my fourth year in elementary.
Since long ago he's been an overbearing person.
That self-paced style never changed no matter what happened.
- Hey, Aoyama! Even after that incident happened, and I gradually stopped going to school.
Even after that incident happened, and I gradually stopped going to school.
You forgot some things! Are you still in that house? I haven't met you in a while, huh? I wonder how many years By the way, you're at that park sometimes, right? I do catch sight of you once in a while.
But for some reason it's hard to call out.
.
or something.
.
What are you up to right know? High school or I got into Teihoku Academy by a recommendation.
They're famous for soccer.
Now I feel like Serie A isn't just a dream anymore.
I have a game soon.
You should come and watch.
Yeah? But man, all these TV magazines are so similar I can't decide I wonder which I should go with [Her debut was in "Sunny".
She went from being a prodigy child star to an actress.
.]
What's wrong? Hey! Hey! Leave me alone.
You're really just looking down on me for being a shut-in.
Serie A or whatever.
Are you an idiot? There's no way that dream could come true.
Aoyama Oh, that's great right there! Well then let's change the set.
Change please! Alright! Good work.
Great job.
This went on sale today.
Ah, it's Sunny! Nako-san, you're so cute! Hey, Sunny had a double cast, right? There was one more person with you.
Who was it again? I don't know I forgot who it was.
I heard that Chika's friends came over? That's right.
They were great girls.
They dressed nicely and were polite.
I don't know anymore Chika, who hated studying, tried her hardest and got to a good place.
Keito I was thinking why couldn't she be normal? You were always saying "try your hardest.
" Putting way too much pressure on that child.
Are you saying it's all my fault? I thought I should do everything to make sure she did well.
Even you became proud and started cheering for her, right? You didn't do anything.
Just stood back and made comments.
So, it's only my fault she became like that? It can't be helped! I don't know what to do either! That's why I'm saying you need to take some responsibility! Stop it, you two! Stop it already.
Fighting about that person is That person won't become any more than that, so you should just leave her alone.
Fretting about that person is a seriously pointless.
- Man I'm hungry - I'm so hungry! - What should we eat today? - Today? Parfait, parfait, parfait! Parfait?! That sounds great! I'm used to wasting my time by myself.
Until my sister's friends go home, I'll stay here.
Why can't you even do this kind of problem?! You won't be able to go to to a good school like this, will you?! Don't cry! I'm scolding you because I think you have the power in you! Really, you're not a child that would lose to that Yuki-chan and Masato-kun! That's why if you don't try harder Hey, you understand, right?! Alisa! You understand? You lost at that last audition because you didn't remember your lines properly.
If you put effort into it you could be a child that could become number one.
You understand, right? Yesmother.

The 9 people in the room came from how many rooms? How many people couldn't get in? Umm Is it time? It's fine, Aoyama, go on ahead.
Please excuse me for leaving early.
It must be great being a performer.
Getting to be exempt from cleaning everyday.
Yeah, really! How lucky!~ Alright, be quiet! I'm Sonoda Nako.
Happy to be here.
I'll try my hardest.
Thank you.
Alright, Sunny, stand over there.

little goat Keito, hurry up! "Let's try the both of them.
" Double cast or whatever Plus it's with that amateur girl.
Just you is enough, right? You can't lose to that kind of child, Keito.
But What? Nakois my friend, so You're a special person! You received a special talent from God.
So can't you just deal with things like not having any friends or being lonely a little? If you do that, then in the end you'll be able to laugh at all the people who envy you.
Keito, you'd better not lose! Absolutely.
You'd better not lose, Alisa! Don't say such naive things like you have no time to play with your friends! For the sake of winning in the end, what are you going to do if you don't try hard now?! Anyway, don't ever get those kind of grades again, okay? Do you understand? Where's your answer?! Alisa! Your grades aren't going to go up by crying! Are you listening?! Hey! Alisa! What are you doing?! It slipped out of my hands.
Sorry.
Wait! Hey, someone! Someone! Hey! You over there! I'm not someone from the restaurant or anything so just relax and stop.
Please stop.
Hey, stop.
Hey.
Do you have time right now? Well, sometime I see you at that family restaurant.
You're in high school, right? Or maybe I should say, you're at the age to be going to high school.
I don't think you go, though.
Well I'm not really asking what's with that.
Somehow, wasting time seems painful for you.
At any rate, isn't there a more fun way to spend you time? You want me to go out with out? Huh? No, no, no, no.
I refuse.
Uh, that's.
.
That's not what I meant.
Right, well I can't help that you misunderstand me when I out like this, though.
I get hassled by the cops a lot also.
Well, to go back to the previous topic.
You don't want to go to school? The school is really close by.
Well I call it a school, but it's not a normal school Right, you can come if you want, and if you don't, you don't have to.
It is that kind of lenient school.
I'm the principle over there.
The headmaster.
You shouldn't judge by appearances! Well if that's the case, would you mind coming Will you come with me? To the s-school.
It's called El Liston.
It's Italian.
Do you want to no what it means? No, not really.
No, not really? Well then, I'll ask in reverse.
What's your goal in life? You don't have one, right? Of course you don't.
You're not old enough yet.
What should people without a life goal or purpose do? Take a walk.
Until you find a goal, leisurely take a walk, mess around, and have fun.
El Liston means a walking path.
Understand? Well, I think my entire life is on a walking path.
Go up.
A lecture for taking university exams.
University exams? You don't know what entrance exams are? A free school like ours, everyone is Wait, do you not know what a free school is either? To put it simply, kids that were bullied or had various things happen that make it so they can't go to school come here.
There are older and younger kids gathered together, so it's like a small country school.
This is a room where you can relax.
It's also called the faculty room.
It's usually free to use whenever you want.
Ah, I'll go get some tea now.
Ah, I'm going to go home soon Ah, I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Thanks.
That boy is.
.
Suzuki Gouta.
He has dysphemia.
Dysphemia? He can't speak very well.
Therefore, he won't say anything except what is absolutely necessary.
He thinks he'll be bullied if he talks.
Here you go.
Oh, w-well that's fine.
He love dancing, you see.
So, everyday he's practicing.
Kouichi here, is on the computer all day.
Almost like he doesn't care about anything else.
Well, there are some here that properly go to lectures and study, you know.
Well, to each his own.
If they want to come, they can.
If they want to leave, they can.
Those are our rules, I guess.
It may be bothersome if you are asked how this is different from being shut in your house, but.
.
But, you know It's not bad to have somewhere else besides your house to seclude yourself in, right? It may be bothersome if you are asked how this is different from being shut in your house, but It's not bad to have somewhere else besides your house to seclude yourself in, right? Ah, I've heard of that! Well then, let's go.
Aoyama! Don't look down on me.
I am definitely going to get to Serie A! So, you do your best too.
Right? Hey Taiyou! Huh? What're you doing? Let's go! Later! That day, with the push of Taiyou's words, I once more went back to the free school called El Liston.
Hey! By any chance are you free right now? Just a second is fine, so please! I got to a part where I need another person! Alright, could you hold these two parts and stretch it out? While your doing that I'll work on it.
Okay.
H-hey, hold it! Ah, sorry.
Did you make those pictures yourself too? Yeah.
They're really pretty.
Really? Yeah This is the first time I've ever seen something like this.
I'm going to do the border completely in organza, then I'll the embroider the skirt here.
Hand embroidery would be best here, huh? Hey, I can make up my mind between these two.
Which do you think is better? This one I guess.
Right? I was also thinking of doing this one.
Alright, I'll go with this! By any chance is the one you're wearing right now handmade too? This? That's right.
That's amazing.
When did you drop out? I did in my first year of high school.
I got sick of wearing the same lame clothes everyday.
When I came just one time wearing this kind of outfit, I was teased by everyone and laughed at by my friends, so I quit.
But you know, When I don't wear this type of outfit, I feel like I'm not myself, you know? Hey, Do I talk too much? Am I boring you, perhaps? No.
Momiji! If your done with your work, then let us use the place.
We all want to use it together.
I'm not done yet.
Wait.
Who? Oh yeah! I haven't heard your name yet.
I'm Noda Momiji.
Momiji is fine.
What's your name? I'm.
I'm sure I've seen your face somewhere before.
For some reason I get the feel I've seen this person somewhere before.
Aoyama Keito, right? Aoyama Keito, The lead star of Sunny Days.
The prodigy child star who lost her voice.
Am I wrong? It's an obligation of a performer, right? Shaking hands.
That was the only thing I didn't want him to say.
"Sunny" I didn't want to have my finger pricked.
I'm not lonely anymore from today on! Friends are great, aren't they! Friends are wonderful, aren't they! Let's be friends forever! Everyone, do you know where tomorrow will be born? It will be born from hope! What's wrong, Nako? The director said, "Keito is so wonderful, but your not there yet.
" And that there isn't any point in having a double cast.
I'm hopeless.
It's almost the opening day! That's not true, Nako.
Let's do our best.
Let's do our best together.
The afternoon showing for Sunny Days will begin momentarily.
Please take your seats.
Nako collapsed during makeup! Huh?! Don't joke around, it's going to start soon! How about letting Keito do it? Alright then, the noon and evening performances will be done by Keito.
Please wait! Nako! I can do it.
Then Keito, keep a close eye on her.
If Nako collapses, then quickly jump in there.
Yes.
Nako, everything is going to be alright.
Stand up! Get up! Get up! Take a step towards tomorrow! - Yay, yay, yay! Take a step towards tomorrow! Never give up! Don't lose! - Don't lose! Never give up! Don't lose! Nako sure is amazing.
Yeah.
She's similar to Keito, but she has a feeling that Keito doesn't - Shh! Yeah.
She's similar to Keito, but she has a feeling that Keito doesn't Let's be friends forever! Everyone, do you know where tomorrow will be born? It will be born from hope! Nako, that was great! It was wonderful, Nako-chan! You're already a splendid actress! Congratulations! It's the curtain call.
Well then, Ready to go? Yes! Make sure to smile! Nako, congratulations! You were really great! Do you want my gratitude? I'm not giving it to you.
None at all.
You don't even have a single friend.
What a disgusting person.
Since that day I lost my words.
On the opening day of Sunny Days, for the fifteen minutes from when the curtain was raised until it closed I couldn't see, hear, or speak.
That day I fell into darkness and am still standing there.
To be continued.
