[Carrying the Shadow on the Back]
Kyoko:
[Rain Bauch!]
I'm in trouble. Should've left earlier...
Kozue:
Uh... Please.
Kyoko:
Uh... Nanao-san?
Kozue:
Yes!
Kyoko:
Sorry for your trouble. You saved me.
Kozue:
It's all right. I was just killing time anyway.
Kyoko:
What to say... Topic, topic of conversation...
Kozue:
Is Godai-san at school?
Kyoko:
Y..yes. I think he should be back by evening.
Kozue:
Oh, is he always home that early?
Kyoko:
Let me see...
Monday and Wednesday he's home by evening.
Tuesday and Friday around 8 o'clock.
Thursday he's tutoring, so around 10. And Saturday varies...
Kozue:
Wow... Why do you know that much?
Kyoko:
Well... I'm the manager, so...
Kozue:
Is that the way it is?..
Kyoko:
It is.
Kozue:
Do you know that much about the other tenants?
Kyoko:
Yeah, I do.
Kozue:
Then you know the other tenants' schedules that well?
Kyoko:
Sure, of course. Well, not really...
(How is she supposed to grasp the weekly schedule of Yotsuya?... DS)
Kozue:
Wow, Kanrinin-san! You're really amazing.
Girl 1:
Sensei, goodbye!
Girl 2:
Bye!
Teacher:
Go straight home.
Girls:
Yes!
Girl 1:
Let's go! Let's go!
Kozue:

Kyoko:
Hey, Souichiro-san! What are you doing?!
Souichiro:
baw?
Kyoko:
I'm sorry. He really made a mess of your skirt.
Kozue:
It's OK.
Kyoko:
Please drop by. If it becomes stain, it's really hard to get it off.
Kozue:
Oh. That's all right... It's nothing really...
Souichiro:
baw.. splash!!!!..................awchooo!!
Kyoko:
Sorry about this. Please use my skirt until yours dries.
Kozue:
Sure. Wow... The waist is so tight.
Kyoko:
I'll make you some tea.
Kozue:
Please, don't worry about it.
Kyoko:
Here you are.
Kozue:
Oh... Thank you.
Kyoko:
Topic, topic...
Kozue:
Kanrinin-san.
Kyoko:
Huh?
Kozue:
What do you think of Godai-san?
Kyoko:
Eh...? What do you mean? "What?"
Kozue:
I mean you're with him all the time, right? What kind of man is he?
Kyoko:
Well, I really can't say in words...
Kozue:
I wonder if he's going out with other girls?
Kyoko:
It seems you're the only one.
Kozue:
Really?!
Kyoko:
Yes....
Kozue:
I was in Tokeizaka 2nd Junior High...
Kyoko:
Huh? She changes topics so quickly.
Kozue:
He really looks like my first love.
Kyoko:
Oh? Your first love?
Kozue:
Though it was one-sided love...
Kyoko:
Eh? Was he an interesting man?
Kozue:
He was a great man...
Kyoko:
Didn't she just say he looked like Godai-san?
Kozue:
He was so manly and great.
Kyoko:
How does that supposed to resemble Godai-san....?
Kozue:
He was always the slowest to eat the school lunch...
Kyoko:
Huh? What on earth...?
Kozue:
Your boyfriend is handsome, isn't he?
Kyoko:
Huh?
Kozue:
That man you were with when we met for the first time.
Kyoko:
Oh, Mitaka-san? He's just a friend.
Kozue:
You're kidding.
Kyoko:
No... Really.
Kozue:
You don't have a boyfriend?
Kyoko:
.... I'm...
Souichiro:
awchoo!
Kozue:
Y..You're a widow?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked something unnecessary...
Kyoko:
That's alright. But... that reminds me...
He was also my first love, to...
yawn.. !
[Otonashi-sensei is there]
Kyoko:
I'll see you later! I have something to do.
Girl 1:
Err... What is it?
Kyoko:
giggle! "Bye bye."
Girl 1:
Kyoko! She's so blind when it comes to Otonashi-sensei.
Girl 2:
Otonashi-sensei again?
Girl 1:
Yap, she said she's going to share her umbrella with him.
Girl 2:
.... What's so good about him? He's a middle-aged man.
Girl 1:
Really...
Kyoko:
.....Otonashi-Sensei!
Souichiro:
Oh? Why don't you get under my umbrella?
Kyoko:
Yes! Thank you...
Souichiro:
You're in class number 3, right?
Kyoko:
Yes, I'm Kyoko Chigusa.
Souichiro:
Chigusa-kun...
Kyoko:
Yes?
Souichiro:
You should have this over your head. You'll catch cold.
Kyoko:
Yaw!
Kozue:
You sure did some interesting things, didn't you?
Kyoko:
I thought it was a marvelous idea at the time.
Kozue:
A school teacher...
Kyoko:
No, he was just part-time teacher.
Kozue:
I envy you... You could marry your first love... Right!
Kyoko:
Yes?
Kozue:
Can I see your high-school days album?
Kyoko:
Eh...? Album...? Sure, I've gotten curious about myself.
Kozue:
Until Godai-san comes back.
Kyoko:
Eh? Sure, wait till he's back.
Godai:
hmm........... Better wait until the rain get lighter...
Kozue:
Well then, I better get going. It's getting late....
Kyoko:
I wonder what's holding him up. He's usually back by now.
Kozue:
Thank you for showing me the album!
Kyoko:
Come again.
Kozue:
I will. Good bye!
Kyoko:
Bye. Sigh...
Kyoko:
Guess I was really young then... The costume contest..
Oh, Souichiro-san...
[Paper]
Kyoko Chigusa + Otonashi-sensei
Right on, Mrs. Otonashi!
Godai:
I'm home!
Kyoko:
Godai-san, where were you?
Godai:
Huh?
Kyoko:
Kozue-san was here till a while ago.
Godai:
What?! She was?! Here?!
Kyoko:
Yes... You should call her. She waited a long time...
Godai:
But... Why..? Err... W...we aren't like that...
I uh... It's a misunderstanding...
We aren't like that at all...
Kyoko:
What're you talking about?
Godai:
It's OK. I don't have to call her. We aren't like that.
Kyoko:
Wait, Godai-san! Darn it... What's he thinking...?
Ichinose:
Kanrinin-san.
Kyoko:
Oh, Ichinose-san.
Ichinose:
Come inside.
Kyoko:
What is it?
Godai:
Hello, Kozue-chan? It's me, Godai.
I heard you came over. What is it?
Yeah, yeah. I see... Then let's meet tomorrow.
School? I'll skip it. It's OK...
Ichinose:
So says he. Aren't you jealous?
Kyoko:
Of who?
Godai:
Then goodbye.
Kyoko:
So stupid...
Godai:
I'm leaving!
Kyoko:
Godai-san, wait!
Godai:
Yes? Here.
Kyoko:
Would you give this back to Kozue-san?
Godai:
Eh?
Kyoko:
It had stopped raining by the time she left, so she forgot it.
Godai:
But I have to go to school...
Kyoko:
Weren't you planning to skip school and meet Kozue-san, right?
Godai:
How did you know?
Kyoko:
I'm the janitor (manager) of this place...
Godai:
But we aren't like that...
Kyoko:
Don't be hesitant, or Kozue-san will be disappointed in you.
Godai:
Huh?
Kyoko:
If you act like that, you'll ruin her memories of her first love.
Godai:
What's that?
Kyoko:
Oh! Should I be telling him this?
Godai:
What's that? The memory of her first love?
Kyoko:
Wel.. er.. It seems you look alot like Kozue-san's first love.
Godai:
What? I'm not her first love....?
Kyoko:
He was supposedly a really great man.
Godai:
Eh?
Kyoko:
She said he was a really great man!
So why don't you straighten up for Kozue-san's sake?
Godai:
Oh...
Godai:
Straighten up for Kozue-san's sake?
As if she doesn't know how I feel...
No, she knows... What's going on...?
She was jealous until a little while ago.
Kozue:
Eh? You heard about my first love?
Godai:
Yeah.
Kozue:
I'm sorry. Aren't you mad?
Godai:
Why?
Kozue:
Don't you hate being overshadowed by the memories of some other man?
Godai:
Hahaha. Not really. Though it bugs me a bit... But I wish you'd just see me the way I am.
Kozue:
Oh sure I do.
You know, Kanrinin-san is so romantic... She told me about her husband yesterday.
Godai:
Like what?
Kozue:
Memories of rainy days. He was her first love. She's so wholehearted...
Godai:
I can't believe that elegant Kyoko-san did that. She's so reserved...
Kozue:
She loved him so much...
Godai:
!
Kozue:
I really envy her that she got married with someone she loved that much.
Godai:
But, he's dead...
Kozue:
That's true... Godai-san, please don't die.
Godai:
Eh?
Kozue:
Don't die. Please.
Godai:
Hahhahaha... What're you talking about...?
Godai:
I can't hurt her, or I couldn't bear this....
Souichiro-san is still around...
Kyoko-san is a fool bound by a ghost.
Damn it... Why can't she look at me?
Kyoko:
Godai-san. Why don't you get under my umbrella?
Godai:
No!! It's OK... I'd like to walk by myself.
Kyoko:
No you can't! What if you catch cold...
Godai:
Please, just leave me alone!
Kyoko:
... What's he mad about?....
Godai:
Shit! As if she doesn't know how I feel... She does!
But, someday... someday... for sure.. ?
[splash!]
Kyoko:
? Oh dear...
Godai:
I'm sorry. On second thought... Ouchoo!!
Kyoko:
See! You caught cold.
Trailer:
Time sure flies. It's already the second Christmas since I came to Ikkoku-kan.
Godai-san, it's only a thought but...
