"That's quite a good idea." "Oh, Mr. Vice Principal." "The main events during our culture fest are plain every year and it definitely lacks excitement." "That's no good!" "You gotta go flashy for the culture fest!" "Hey!" "Don't you address the vice principal so casually!" "Just leave it to me, Ran Kotobuki the festival girl, and it'll be all good!" "Mr. Nakanishi, what do you make of this?" "It..." "It's true that if it's for something like that," "I believe Kotobuki would be well suited." "Very well!" "I will designate Ran Kotobuki to be the executive committee president for the culture fest!" "What?" "!" "Make it as exciting as you can, okay?" "Leave it to me!" "You got it!" "Alright!"

"Otohata hasn't contacted me at all since then." "I think I really might've been dumped!" "Dumped?" "You're the one who yelled at him and told him that he didn't need to date you." "If he has any feelings for me, he could at least call me." "The fact he hasn't followed-up at all means he wants to break up with me, right?" "But you know, Ototchi's not the type to follow-up on things." "You said it." "He's got that retarded," ""do not pursue those who leave" thing going." "You'll have to see him to find out what he's really thinking." "I'll wrangle him into coming to the culture fest somehow, so..." "Ran..." "It'll be easier for you to see him if you have the culture fest excuse." "Right..." "Man, you need so much looking after..." "Ook!" "Alright!" "Let's all sing a happy song together and get fired up!" "Yeah!" "Thank you, you guys." "Fall is almost over..." "And then it'll be winter..." "I feel cold in my heart."

"You come with Mami-rin, too, okay?" "S-Sure..." "Otohata, you come, too!" "I'll go if I feel like it." "Hey!" "Don't give me that "if you feel like it" crap!" "Hey, Otohata, if you can't even make a girl happy, you're a failure as a man." "All you do is make Aya cry every day and you call yourself her boyfriend?" "!" "I'm a selfish kind of guy." "I'm pretty sure I told her so from the start." "What?" "!" "Later." "Damn it!" "You son of a bitch!" "You'll pay for it if you don't come!" "Now, now, Ran, calm down." "You bastard!" "Damn it." "Ran Kotobuki..." "How dare she see through my grand scheme!" "Next time I see her, I'm going to beat the living crappity-crap out of her!" "She's here!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!"

"No, but if we ask them, I'm sure they'll help." "Hey, Aya!" "Aya's really pumped up about this." "Help, huh?" "I'm busy with club activities and stuff, so..." "I've got work, too." "I'm not interested in that sort of thing." "I see." "I plan to help her out." "Oh, Katase." "I think you'd have fun, if you'd give it a chance." "I'll join in, so won't you guys help out, too?" "When the class rep puts it that way..." "Sure!" "Okay, it's settled." "So, anyone with free time gets to help out, okay?" "What?" "Are you serious?" "No complaining." "Thank you." "You've been a great help." "Don't misunderstand." "What?" "I helped out because it was you, Miss Hoshino." "Later." "Because... it was me?" "Please come see us!" "Hounan High School Culture Fest!"

"You're so super shy!" "Hey, isn't that Asou, the Super High School Student?" "Is that his girlfriend?" "It looks more like some kind of punishment." "Don't interfere with Mami and Yuya's lovey-dovey date!" "It's tomorrow, if I remember right..." "What are you looking at?" "N-N-Nothing!" "Hello, Mami-rin." "Hey, Kotobuki." "What's up?"

"It's all thanks to you getting people together that we made it in time." "No, it's because being busy keeps my mind off things." "This was a good opportunity, so I tried getting a fresh perspective on myself away from Otohata." "But my mind always kept going back to Otohata, so it made me realize all over again that I really do like him." "I totally understand how you feel." "Miyu's mind is always on Yamato, too." "Aya, you make sure you really let Otohata know how you feel." "I will." "Alright!" "That's the spirit!" "Aya, I'm rooting for you!" "Wow, look at the turnout!"

"Yup!" "We're not gonna lose!" "By the way, have you seen Ototchi?" "No, I haven't..." "This sucks." "Looks like it really would be better if Aya broke up with Otohata." "It's delicious!" "It's the coffee beans from your place that makes it good." "Oh, please!" "Miyu, you flatterer!" "So she waits in vain... (No New Calls)" "Aya." "Aya!" "Take this to Table 3 for me?" "O-Okay." "I'm sorry!" "Aya, are you okay?" "!" "I'm sorry." "We should hurry up and treat that cut." "Aya..." "Are you okay?" "I'll take you to the nurse's office." "I'm hungry." "Man, it's taking forever."

"Would she actually be happy to win as a bakappuru?" "Ran's got a weakness for anything involving "winning", after all." "I'm glad the cut wasn't serious." "Yes." "If you feel comfortable, you can talk to me." "What?" "You'll at least feel a little better if you talk about it." "Or am I not trustworthy enough?" "I'm on the brink of heartbreak." "I'm supposed to have arrived at a decision within myself, but I'm wavering." "Every day, I'm always distracted." "I did horribly on the mock exam the other day."

"I mean, love is supposed to bring out the best in each other, right?" "I'm sorry." "That was going a little too far." "No, I understand." "But you know I can't forget about him." "In the end, I still..." "Otohata!" "So you came, after all!" "Yo." "You know, I..." "Kotobuki told me you were crying every day, so I came to see, but you're smiling." "She's such a busybody."
