My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 (2023) s01e12 Episode Script

I Like You

1
Hey!
You there! The Paladin
with the roughed-up equipment!
Would you like me to fix your things?
If you're a newbie, I'll give you a deal.
I'm Princess Ruri!
Nice to meet you, Ms. Paladin!
There's something I want to tell you.
Do you have time?
ORIGINAL STORY BY MASHIRO
Where are we?!
Don't spook me like that!
I thought you were about to ask me out.
Oh, sorry! Did I give off that vibe?
That's the only vibe you gave off.
I said I'm sorry
And?
What did you want to tell me?
Well, you see
TEN MINUTES LATER
Akane means to say she's in love!
Oh, that's a surprise!
Congratulations!
Shall I guess who it is?
Don't say it.
I'm quite moved, you know.
When I first met you,
you were wandering around
the game world looking jaded.
Thinking back,
you were probably still in turmoil
from your breakup.
But you've recovered, huh?
Well done.
Even so, she's still fretting over
the reason her boyfriend dumped her!
Huh? What's that about?
That's looking backwards!
Um
It might sound that way,
but I just want to know
if I have any bad qualities to fix.
From my perspective,
I'm looking to the future.
That's why I
It's just
When I saw your face, Eita
I wanted to talk to Princess Ruri!
The ones who picked me up when I was down
were Momo and Princess Ruri.
When I realized I was in love,
I wanted to tell you both.
Sure.
The one you like
is someone I've known for a long time.
He's a good guy.
Everyone concentrates on his looks,
but his kindness is pretty rare too.
I guess you know that.
But it's true.
He's a block head,
but he's got a big heart.
Just be your true self.
In fact, too direct
is probably just right.
Give it your best shot!
If he rejects you, Momo and I are here.
He's right, Akane!
A woman must be bold!
Act first, ask questions later!
In fact, you should go
and tell him right now!
Yeah! She's right!
I understand.
I'll go all or nothing!
Hope it's all and not nothing.
I'll do my best to make it all!
Thanks! I adore you both!
I hope it's all, not nothing.
Well, who can really say.
Let me reintroduce myself.
I'm Momoko Maeda.
And I'm Eita Sasaki.
I'm a 20-year old college student
and I want to get married.
OH YEAH?
Do you have a girlfriend?
When did I start falling for him?
Even looking back, I can't remember.
MOVE FORWARD
TOKYO WALK
It's just that
seeing him finally smile
makes me happy.
IT'S CROWDED
Pretending not to notice,
or telling myself he's just a friend
Hiding my feelings like that
was probably pointless.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Calm down!
Are you okay?
I'm fine now.
Yeah?
Huh?
Y-Yo!
Hi.
Um
Do you need something?
-Actually, there's something
-Oh, hello there!
-That I really want to tell you.
-Time for your walk, already?
-Um
-What'd you say?
Is it time for your walk, already?
-Um
-Oh, hello!
-Say, today
-Today?
Today, I wanted to
-It's a warm day, isn't it?
-Indeed!
-I wish every day could be this warm!
-Um
It really is warm
-Akane
-Yes?!
-Forgive me, I have to go to cram school.
-At the station.
-You do?
-I saw your granddaughter, Emi!
Since it's a Saturday,
I thought you would be free.
-I'm happy to listen though.
-Did you hear me? Emi!
Can we talk on the way to the station?
-She's your granddaughter, right?
-Oh, yes!
Actually, couldn't we have
talked over the phone?
You fool.
He has his own routine.
What was I thinking?
Sorry, I'll come back another
I hear Emi is in the band now!
Yes, but it will rain later.
I just need to change.
Please wait here.
R-Right
Sorry to bother you when you're busy!
He startled me
It seems like your cold is better.
Yeah! Thanks to you.
Oh yeah. I wanted to make it up
Turn the other way!
-Sorry, I'm ready.
-Right!
So, what's up?
Oh, sorry. I've been thinking
of where to start.
I DIDN'T PLAN TO DO THIS OUT HERE
No time to spare.
I have to tell him now.
It's what I came here to do.
But then
There's no need to force it out
in the middle of town
when we're short on time.
Do it another day
When we have more time
Akane!
The light is red.
S-Sorry
Are you okay?
You seem really spaced out.
It's no good. My attention span
Sorry.
Being together
is only going to cause him trouble
if all I can do is buy time.
Do it another day.
Um maybe today isn't the best
Green light.
Just like this
Without saying a thing
I could let him spoil me
with his kindness.
But hiding my feelings
just doesn't seem fair.
Well, this is the station.
You didn't get a chance to talk.
I'm sorry.
I was too worried about being late.
No, I was acting weird.
You really were.
IGNORING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS CRAZY
Well then, next time
Is it important?
Maybe, after class
Though it will be late
If you don't mind, I'll call you.
If you really want to talk today
Are you sure? Won't you be tired?
Not too tired to listen.
Though I'm not
the best conversation partner.
SHORT RESPONSE MACHINE
That'd be great!
I'll be going, then.
Have a good day!
Study hard!
BYE-BYE!
Bad weather, suddenly
It was sunny just a moment ago.
That'll be all for today.
Please do the follow-up exercises
in your textbooks.
Rain, huh?
What are we going to do, Yamada?
It's pouring.
I have a folding umbrella.
My hero!
Walk with me, will you?
Fine.
You okay, Ms. President?
I don't have an umbrella.
I'm planning to run home.
Isn't that a little extreme?
I have no choice.
The rights to Yamada's umbrella
go to you.
Fine, right Yamada?
Either one of you is okay with me.
That wouldn't be fair.
The two of you should go.
I can't leave a lady in distress.
Plus, it's a chance to go home with him.
Don't let it slip away!
Thanks but no thanks.
You'll only make him suspicious.
If you don't make him a little suspicious,
things will go nowhere.
Especially in your case.
CRAM SCHOOL
I guess they can't reach a decision.
Maybe I'll give them the umbrella
and run home myself.
I WANNA GO HOME
Yamada-kun!
Um
On second thought,
can I walk with you to the station?
So anyway, I tried that new game.
It was a beta, so there were
still a lot of bugs,
but it seems pretty fun.
Hurry up!
Give me a second!
You're too slow, Saki!
I can't run in these shoes!
Seriously?
Is she someone you know?
Huh?
You were staring at that girl
who was running.
I wasn't.
Tsubaki,
please use the umbrella on your own.
Huh, why?
There's no sense
in you getting wet. Go ahead.
But what about you?
I'm going to run.
-But
-I'm almost at my station.
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
Yamada-kun, wait!
Wait!
Excuse me
My glasses
I can't see.
There's a crack.
Are you okay?
I like you.
Huh?
I like you.
I'm sorry for being a bother.
But please
Just for today
Let me be in your thoughts.
Just for today
I WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK TODAY.
LET'S DO IT WHEN WE HAVE TIME. SORRY.
That was some rain yesterday.
I was asleep, but the noise woke me up.
And then I couldn't get back to sleep
Runa, you've lost focus, haven't you?
Yup! I sure have!
I'm sure you're tired,
so I bought some donuts.
-Both of you, help yourselves!
-Yay!
Yamada, I know you have your own exams.
Thanks for this.
Runa won't accept
any teacher other than you.
She must really like you!
Seeing you two like this,
I can't help but think
you look good together.
Right, big brother?
Now now, Mom.
Your ambitions are naked!
-What do you mean?
-Beats me.
All I said was that
they look good together.
-Right. That's all.
-Any idea what they're talking about?
Who knows?
It must be some sort of joke.
By the way, Akito yesterday
A girl confessed to you, didn't they?
HUH?
I CAN'T SOLVE THIS ONE.
How did you know?
I know everything.
So Akane really told him.
She sure is something.
And? What was your answer?
-It's none of your business.
-Of course it is.
Wait, is it?
I'm thinking about it.
Oh, is it like that?
I thought you might be interested.
-You get along well.
-I guess
You're always so indecisive.
THINKING TOO LONG WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD
You better give her
a straight answer soon.
The worst thing you can do
is play with another person's feelings.
I'm not playing!
-Uh oh, Eita. You've made him mad again.
-What?!
I'm sorry, Akito! Don't be angry!
-Here, have these donuts!
-Those are mine!
The number you are calling
is unavailable
FRIED CHICKEN FESTIVAL
Huh?
Akane! Akane!
Look outside!
Hey, Yamada!
What brings you here?
It's not so often
that you come to our store.
Shouldn't you be working?
I switched to outside duty.
Were you perhaps looking for me?
Just kidding!
Yeah.
I called you just now,
but it didn't connect.
Oh sorry about that.
My phone was at 3% when I left home.
That's fine.
If I happened to see you,
I wanted to apologize for yesterday.
That's
I'm not upset.
It wasn't that important.
Actually, I talked to Momo
about it yesterday.
I feel much better now.
But more important than that
You seem kind of down today.
What's the matter?
Do I?
I feel perfectly normal.
You're completely different!
Your voice is a monotone
Well, it always is
But you're not saying much
Well, you never do, but
The usual Yamada is like this.
But today, you're like this.
I DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE
EVEN SO, SHE'S SHARP
These days
I've been busy. Maybe I'm tired.
Or something like that.
Tired from exam studying?
It must be tough.
He's in a different league from me.
I see
That reminds me! The other day,
I upgraded my equipment in FOS.
I wanted to show off to you,
but you never log in these days.
I got myself a good sword.
What kind is it?
What kind
you ask?
Like the weapon's rank or type.
OR WHETHER IT'S EVEN REAL
Well
Give me your hand.
-Is that a permanent marker?
-Give me your hand.
Bosses leave behind
good plunder, don't they?
I finally understand now
why you always hunt them.
Well, the chances are still pretty low.
Right, and that's why,
when they drop something nice,
it makes you jump for joy.
I don't know what's wrong,
but cheer up!
Return to your usual unflappable self.
I'LL DRAW MY CHARACTER TOO
WHAT DO MY CLOTHES LOOK LIKE AGAIN?
That's how I seem to you?
I only keep quiet,
because I'm scared
of saying the wrong thing.
I can't read people's feelings deeply,
and I don't understand jokes
a lot of the time.
I think that
just makes me dull.
Well, in my case
The way you sometimes make shrewd comments
is uh
something I like.
Or when we're all together,
even if you're quiet,
you watch out for everyone.
I know you try to help
when people are in need.
Because you helped me a lot.
There's nothing dull about that.
I told you before, didn't I?
You can believe me.
I mean it!
Okay?
I sigh
when I wake up in the morning.
At some point, it became a habit.
Isn't love
Yukari,
are you going out at this time of night?
Just for a bit.
I made a promise to a friend.
Come home right away, okay?
Isn't it supposed to be
more fun than this?
