Hello, Dad?
Grandma just...
Senpai is an Otokonoko
Sato Hospital
Episode 8: Wound
Grandma!
Hey Saki, don't barge in like that.
But they said you had collapsed.
Are you all right?
I just got a little woozy.
There's nothing to worry about.
Right?
That's right.
But just to make sure,
we've decided to keep her here for observation.

Saki!
Saki!!
Is everything all right?!
I heard your message!
Is everything all right?!
I'll be there tomorrow morning! Hang in there!
Are you okay?
You're bleeding.
Maybe we should disinfect that.
It's fine.
It's completely fine.
Kita-Kamakura Station
Now that a night has passed,
I feel like this was all a dream.
Ryuji, go out with me!
Does he even know what "going out" means here?
No, I really do think he doesn't know.
Huh? It means we're friends, right?
That's exactly what I like about him, but it's still...
This means I'm the only one who's even conscious and embarrassed about it.
I mean, he must have said that because he doesn't know what it means.
Ryuji, good morning.
Sure is cold today.
Yeah, morning.
See! I knew it!
He's acting like nothing's changed!
What's up?
I guess this is a bit awkward.
Flap, flap, flap.
Love.
Let's eat!
Thish is sho good!
Saki, you're so hyper today.
She's always like that.
May I have everyone's attention?
It seems a suspicious person was spotted near our school.
So everyone is to go home as soon as class is over.
That's so scary.
Maybe it's a flasher.
No after school clubs either!
It's a scary world out there.
You sound like a grandma.
She is one.
Master.
Shorty!
Master, were you having some kind of a daydream?
Staaare
Did something happen with Senpai?
Between me and Makoto?
Whatever do you mean?
Well, I wouldn't exactly say that nothing at all has happened.
Are you and Makoto-senpai going home together?
Yeah, he's changing right now.
I see.
Then I'll just get going and not get in your way!
Oh, I failed to say that I'm happy for them.
Dad said he would get here tomorrow morning.
The wound is stinging.
Dad...
No, it can't be.
It seems a suspicious person was spotted.
What should I do?
I guess I should first get dressed and then make sure the door is properly locked.
And I should contact someone just in case.
Contact someone.
Contact someone, but who?
Hey Aoi.
If something's bothering you, just tell me, okay?
Aoi LINE Audio
What's up? Is something wrong, Shorty?
M-Master...
Aoi?
I'm in trouble.
Please help me.
Are you at your house?
Yes.
Send me your address.
I'll be right there!
Master!
Thank you for coming all this way!
What the hell?
You look totally fi—
Why don't you start by drying your hair.
Yessir.
A suspicious person?
That's bad!
Might be the one they mentioned in school today.
Should we call the police?
No, it's not like I saw them that clearly...
By the way, where is your grandma?
She's in the hospital.
Oh, really?
Then this is quite serious.
But my dad is coming home tomorrow morning,
so I'll probably be fine all by myself.
I'll stay here with you tonight.
Really?
Yeah.
Yay!
Then let's play some cards!
What is this, a school trip?
Hey, so why me?
Don't you have a bunch of friends?
Well, you don't like me, right?
What?
You thought I was a nuisance for trying to get close to your beloved Makoto-senpai.
It's this one!
I don't want anyone to dislike me.
I don't want someone who thought they liked me to be disappointed
because I called them over in the middle of the night.
But I was fine because apparently I already dislike you anyway?
The hell is that?
You got it!
The rest are all mine.
Hey, Master?
What is it?
So on the chance that it ends up not working out between you and Makoto-senpai...
Hey!
It's a hypothetical,
a hypothetical!
When we're all older and you can't develop feelings for anyone else,
and I also can't develop feelings for anyone else...
Could we maybe live together?
You dummy, that future will never come.
You're going to be fine.
You're actually pretty dark, huh?
You're a jerk.
Senpai is an Otokonoko
Wh-Wh-Wh-What should we do?
Be quiet.
D-Dad!
M-My S-Saki has gone bad!
Sorry, sorry!
I jumped to conclusions there.
You said you were coming home in the morning.
I managed to catch an earlier flight.
Still, you could have just rang the bell like a normal person.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
But thank you again. Taiga-kun, was it?
Y-Yes.
I'll pay for a taxi if you want to go home.
Or you can stay and play cards until the morning!
Yay!
No, I'll go home.
Here it comes, here it comes.
It's morning.
All right, Saki!
Time for breakfast!
Yeah!
It's been a while since we've eaten together.
It wasn't so long back.
That was during summer break.
Oh right, right.
What are your plans today?
First thing will be visiting your grandmother in the hospital,
then I'll go pay my respects at Grandpa's grave.
How long are you staying this time?
I left so many things hanging, so I'll have to go back by the end of the year.
I see.
I'm sorry, Saki.
But we'll get to spend Christmas together.
Yeah!
Dad!
Mom!
I love you!
Saki-chan.
You don't like being alone with me?
Dad has to be here, too!
I see.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Saki.
Mom, wait.
Please don't go!
Mom!
You're finally up.
Have you been yawning too much?
You've got tears on your face.
You're right.
Just going to sleep a little more.
Hey.
Delicious Tea
By the way,
it seems like that suspicious person has been caught.
Oh, really?
Not far from Aoi-san's house.
I hope she's okay.
She is all alone with her grandmother.
Oh, yeah.
Her grandmother's currently in the hospital,
but her dad is back right now.
Oh, really?
Wait, maybe I wasn't supposed to say that.
I guess Aoi-san is in contact with you.
Did you say something?
No, nothing!
What is this... feeling?
Hey.
S-So, about the night of the 24th...
It's almost Christmas, huh?
Obviously, only if you're okay with it,
but would you be inclined to spend it together?
Y-Yes.
What are we doing for Christmas?
I think you already know.
Christmas Season
Smooch ♥
I wonder if Ryuji wants to do something like that with me, too...
Smooch ♥
Sato Hospital
And apparently almost every gray whale is right handed!
You've become a total whale expert now.
He mentioned that he's glad that you've gotten to like whales, too.
I see.
I think I'll get going now.
I'm going to cook dinner for Dad!
Spill
I did it!
Dad's going to be so shocked!
I'm home.
Welcome back!
It got so late.
Did you eat, Saki?
Dad, were you drinking?
I ran into a professor I'm close to and couldn't get away.
Dad, hang on.
You'll get all sore if you sleep there.
Right.
I'm sorry...
for not being a good father.
So, Ryuji...
Um...
Yeah?
Do you want us to kiss?
Bang
Wh-Wh-Wha—No!
Oh, you don't.
Are you all right?
That's not what I meant.
Just why are bringing this up first thing in the morning?
But yeah... I do.
I know you don't feel the same way I do,
so just being together with you is enough!
O-Okay.
S-So he does...
Let's go!
I'm such an idiot!
Why did I have to say that!
Ta-da!
The planetarium?
It's a special Christmas screening!
Let's go see it, Saki!
Yeah!
So Dad, it looks like your work is fun.
I don't know if it's fun,
but I'm so obsessed with it that I'll continue doing it forever,
and even to not regret dying for it.
When Grandpa died,
Grandma also said that she wished she could have taken his spot.
Well, that means Grandma was also obsessed with Grandpa!
How does everyone get so obsessed with things?
I couldn't die for this, huh?
I-I will die.
He must be getting that for his girlfriend.
It is Christmas after all!
I don't need the receipt.
I wonder if Makoto will like this.
Kita-Kamakura Station
Want to come to our house for Christmas?
Everyone will be away at my grandma's house that day,
outside will be cold,
but if you'd rather not, we can go out, of course.
Although running into someone and having them say this and that would be awkward—
That sounds good.
Then I'll get the cake and bring it over.
Is it okay if I show up at your house around six?
Yeah.
I really am the only one who is reading into this.
I mean I was aware,
Despair
or I thought I was aware!
Then I'll get the cake and bring it over.
If I had known I'd feel this way,
I wish we would have just stayed friends—
I lied! I take that back!
I said that just being with him is enough.
But is that true?
This hurts.
What's something that would make Ryuji happy?
This is so cute.
Wait, he wouldn't like this at all.
This is really cute, too!
So cute.
Oh. I haven't seen Aoi-san lately.
Aoi-san
Ahaha!
That's true!
The cultural festival was so much fun.
Please hang out with me again!
Yes.
Of course.
Good night!
Good night.
It's been a while
What should I say?
I wonder what she's doing for Christmas.
I am really so sorry!
If I don't go back right now,
I might not be able to see it for another 10 years!
So...
It's fine!
Don't worry about it!
I actually just got a Christmas invite from a friend.
Oh, that's great! Then it all works out.
You can also go to the planetarium with your friend then!
Off I go!
Dad didn't notice even once that I'm hurt...
