----------------------------------------
When they were young, Kenji traded Hiromi the lamune bottle that he had just bought for her blue fish hairpin. He took a drink of it before giving it to her, and so the two shared an indirect kiss. To this day, Hiromi has kept and treasured this bottle. But now it’s time to move away, and Kenji and company show up to help out. While carrying a table, Hatano accidentally bumps into Hiromi, causing the special lamune bottle that she had in her arms to go flying out the window and break on the ground below. Hatano apologizes, but Hiromi claims that it wasn’t anything important. That night, the group has a farewell party at the Konoe family restaurant.

Afterwards, Suzuka takes Hiromi to her room, gives her a going away present, and asks for Hiromi to write. Kenji calls Suzuka downstairs, so Hiromi uses the opportunity to go into Kenji’s room. She looks around and spots Nanami through the window in the house next door. Hiromi feels a bit sad, but says to herself that it doesn’t matter since she’s moving away.

The next day, Nanami wakes up to motorcycle noises next door - it appears that Kenji has finally fixed the bike. He and Nanami go to the train station and arrive just in time to catch Hiromi before she boards the train. Kenji gives her another bottle of lamune, and the three say their goodbyes. Sakura tells Kenji and Nanami that they are the best couple, but that they shouldn’t keep feeling that it’ll be always ok like this. As the train pulls away, Nanami holds Kenji’s hand and then hugs his arm.

So can I assume they are now a couple? Sakura was cute when she was a kid. :)

Sakura should've taken the initiative back then if she wanted MC, she's too late at present because of Nanami already taken the chance.

Too bad, there was no indirect kiss joke! So Sakura did not play with Kenji and Nanami when they were young?
