"Where?" "!" "Where?" "!" "Hey, is that girl Rei's girlfriend?" "But, I was pretty sure Rei's girlfriend was..." "Hey, it's Ran Kotobuki!" "Hey, did you hear?" "Ran Kotobuki stole Otohata away from his old girlfriend!" "Did you hear?" "Ran's new boyfriend is none other than Rei Otohata!" "Misgivings of the Heart Stirring " " Cold Spring Breeze" "Man, I guess that's what you call by the skin of your teeth." "Well, I'm just glad all three of us advanced to second year together." "Huh?" "What's wrong?" "You're not a second year student, Ran." "You're a third year student." "Huh?" "What're you guys talking about?" "We're saying that you belong over there." "Huh?" "Sis, you better get in the classroom quick, or the teacher's gonna get here, datchu." "S-Sayo, what're you doing here?" "!" "Why am I here?" "Your finals results were hopelessly bad, so instead of making you repeat a year, they sent you back to junior high, datchu." "What?" "!" "Oh, yeah, since we're in the same grade now," "I'm gonna stop calling you "Sis"." "Come on, Ran, let's go to our classroom, datchu." "W-Wait!" "Hey, Sayo!" "Hey!" "You gotta be kidding me!" "I'm going back to sleep." "Ran!" "Come on!" "Today's the last day of exams!" "If you're late, you'll waste ALL the work you've put into this!" "The suspect is still holed up in her blanket datchu," "Assistant Inspector Yamazaki!" "Right." "In that case, we have no choice but to use that tactic," "Detective Kotobuki!" "Y-You don't mean, that tactic?" "Yes!" "Miyu's super, SUPER lethal technique!" "(Fried Chicken Boy)" "The fried chicken wakeup!" "Fried chicken!" "Fried chicken!" "Fried chicken!" "Fried chicken!" "I have secured the suspect!" "Assistant Inspector Yamazaki, good work datchu!" "Yay!" "Man, I can't read hard kanji like this!" "Let's see..." "The 2nd Movement to Protect the Constitution was in 1924." "The General Election Law was 1925." "What're you doing?" "That's so not you, Kotobuki." "Oh, Sugihara!" "I shall explain!" "(And her friend)" "She is Sugihara of Year 1, Class 1!" "(And her friend)" "She is a sly gal, who once tried to use a GL guy to draw Ran into a trap." "(And her friend)" "Of course, it goes without saying that her sinister plot was uncovered..." "(And her friend) ...and Ran beat the crap out of her!" "(And her friend)" "Quit wasting your time." "What?" "!" "I'm saying you should be more clever about it." "For example..." "The cell phone!" "So?" "What about a cell phone?" "This cell phone has a digital camera." "You take snapshots of the textbook with this to look at during the test." "If you're gonna use your brains anyway, use it for this sort of thing." "What?" "!" "Get real, Sugihara!" "(And her friend)" "You idiot!" "Where's the point in becoming a second year student using such cheap tactics?" "!" "You guys gonna abandon your pride as gals?" "!" "You just keep yakking!" "I can't wait to see what results you get on the exams." "Get the hell outta here, Sugihara!" "(And her friend)" "Sheesh!" "(Year 1, Class 2)" "This is a super piece of cake!" "Ooh, I know that one, too." "This one's easy, too!" "Man, studying for exams sure does come in handy!" "Hey!" "Keep it quiet!" "Man, you get hungry when you use your brain." "Huh?" "Satsuki, where's Aya?" "I think Naka Teach was here for her earlier." "Naka Teach was?" "Excuse me." "You fools!" "Did you two think you wouldn't get caught cheating?" "!" "Pardon me." "I'm sorry." "Aww..." "Hey, there she is." "What the?" "The class size is limited, so..." "Well, I figured in your case, there's no need to wait for your test results." "I see..." "If you're not in the college preparatory class, it'll be tougher for you to apply to colleges." "I believe one can study well enough in any class." "Aya, I've been looking for you." "Ran..." "Hey, Kotobuki, talk to her, too." "Huh?" "Hoshino's saying she's not going to join the college preparatory class." "I see..." "I don't see anything wrong with that." "It's what Aya's decided, after all." "Ran!" "I can't force you to do this, but I don't want you to turn a blind eye to the future just because you don't want to be separated from your classmates." "The present is more important to me than an uncertain future." "Please excuse me." "Oh, Hoshino..." "What a waste." "Hoshino's got the potential to get into a top school." "I guess you've got it tough, too." "I don't want to hear that from you." "So, what did you want?" "Oh, right." "Aya!" "Hey, wait up!" "Are you really sure?" "Being treated to a drink by you seems..." "I'm sure, I'm sure." "If I'd flunked, my allowance would've gone down to zero, but you saved me from that, Aya." "You don't know that you're safe yet." "Hey, what's this, Miyu?" "You trying to say my test results are gonna be bad anyway?" "That's not it!" "But I mean, the results aren't even out and you're so confident." "Did things go that well?" "You bet they did!" "You guys are in for a shocker!" "Believe it or not, for today's test I answered every question!" "Is that a revolutionary thing for you?" "What?" "But it's amazing!" "It's amazing, right?" "Don't you think it's amazing?" "Errr..." "Ran?" "Miyu, Aya... thanks." "What?" "I told you, it's still too early." "Nope, I'll say it now." "If my effort wasn't good enough, it can't be helped." "I was able to do that much." "So..." "No matter what the results are..." "Thank you very much." "The sky's so blue..." "I was always looking down when I was studying, after all." "It's a sight to see." "We..." "Hmm?" "We'll remain friends forever, right?" "You bet!" "We'll always be super friends, no matter what happens!" "Yup, yup!" "We'll be super friends, even if we end up in different grades!" "Why you!" "Is this the mouth that said those things?" "!" "S-Sorr...!" "Forgive me!" "Yeah, I can't just stay at Ran's place forever, so..." "I see." "Then, do you want me to help you look for an apartment?" "I'll be fine." "Yamato's coming with me." "Yo." "Sorry for making you wait." "Oh, Yamato!" "Later." "Okay." "I envy her." "Otohata, you like Ran, don't you?" "Why are you asking me something like that?" "Don't hide it." "It hurts more if you hide it." "I don't want to feel all torn inside." "I'd rather you just came out and said it." "Yeah, I like her." "Hey!" "C-Can I help you?" "Don't give me that!" "We need to talk." "What's going on with you and Rei?" "What?" "Don't tell me Kotobuki stole him from you!" "Why?" "A friend told us about a photo of Rei and Kotobuki together in a magazine." "What?" "Hold on." "We'll show it to you." "Hey." "Come on, show it to her." "I forgot it at the family restaurant we were just at." "What?" "!" "What're you gonna do about it?" "!" "I haven't read it yet!" "Why didn't you just say, "Don't forget it?" "!"" "Don't snap back at her!" "Um!" "Huh?" "What?" "!" "What... magazine is it?" "GalPara." "It's "Gals Paradise"." "At any rate, anyone who steals her friend's boyfriend is a disgrace to gals!" "If you wanna give Kotobuki a thrashing, we'll help you out!" "Yeah, that's right!" "So there you have it." "Later!" "Hey, Aya." "Ran..." "What's wrong, Aya-ppe?" "You look down." "Could it be you're on the verge of flunking out?" "Moron." "She's not you." "Sorry." "I was just spaced out, that's all." "Say, how did exams go for you?" "Totally awesome!" "For real?" "!" "You're mean!" "You're gonna leave your boyfriend behind and advance to the next grade?" "!" "That's so cold!" "What kind of messed up nonsense is that?" "!" "It's your own responsibility if you flunk!" "Ouch!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch..." "That hurt." "I can't recover from that." "Oh, sorry about that." "Was that a little too harsh?" "If you feel bad, gimme an apology kiss." "Kiss me, ple-ple-please!" "What're you doing, you dumb monkey?" "!" "Ook!" "You hit me for real, Ran-pyon!" "What those girls said must be some kind of mistake, right?" "I see, so you still haven't found an apartment." "Yeah." "If it's a safe area, the rent is expensive." "And if it's a cheap place, it's somewhere scary for a girl to live alone." "It'll be okay." "Don't worry." "I'm sure you'll find one." "I know." "You gotta be strong, Bro." "I don't need you to tell me that!" "Well, I'm gonna get going soon." "My next day off is the day after tomorrow." "I'm sorry for making you walk all over the place today." "Don't worry about it." "That's not for you to say!" "Yamato, really, thank you for today!" "I really gotta do something about it soon." "An apartment, huh?" "Just one more subject." "Math." "It's the final hurdle!" "Mr. Nakanishi, it's distracting to have you lurking behind me." "Oh, p-pardon me." "Here you are." "This is Ran Kotobuki's exam." "W-W-W-W-Wha...!" "I didn't think she would, but it's just as I feared!" "(Set to Fail)" "Mr. Nakanishi, it's upside down." "Upside down." "What?" "Alright!" "I'm advancing to the next grade!" "Yay!" "Kotobuki, your teacher is enormously touched!" "It's a miracle!" "It's truly a miracle!" "Our love must have gotten through!" "Love always prevails!" "How true that is!" "Yes, yes, yes!" "Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness!" "I am so glad!" "So glad!" "I had faith!" "A party just for advancing to the next grade?" "How extravagant." "Ran's just so fired up about it." "More importantly, Miyu, have you found an apartment?" "I haven't yet." "They won't take a high school student seriously and Yamato's busy with work." "I know a great place." "What?" "Really?" "!" "Yup." "Thank you very much." "GalPara." "It's "Gals Paradise"." "Hey, Aya-ppe!" "(This week's find hyper gals!" "Yukie Nanamiya)" "Aya-ppe." "What're you reading so intently?" "N-Nothing." "Oh?" "What's this?" "Let me see it, too." "Oh, it's just the letters page." "Ready, set..." "(Reserved)" "Ran, congratulations for advancing to the next grade!" "Wow, thanks!" "You're making me blush." "Ran, congratulations for advancing to the next grade." "Advancing a grade is nothing if you study like a normal person." "Well, it's definitely not something worth all this fuss." "Yup, yup." "What was that?" "!" "Yuya, Ran's being mean to me!" "Hey, Mami-rin, don't switch personalities on me!" "That reminds me, Tatsukichi, what about you advancing a grade?" "Huh?" "Ran, is Tatsukichi upset about something?" "No idea." "He's been like that all day." "He wouldn't say anything, even when I asked him." "Is it possible he knows he's going to repeat a year?" "No, his results aren't supposed to be in yet." "Hey, things don't look quite right over there, either." "Huh?" "Hey, hey, listen up, everyone." "Miyu's found a place to live!" "What?" "Really?" "!" "Where is it?" "!" "Is it close by?" "It's not even a question of how close it is, since it's..." "Here?" "Yup!" "Miss Towa says she'll let me use the empty room here!" "Wow!" "That's great, Miyu!" "Not only that, but with the promise of working here until I graduate, she says I can live here for free!" "Wow, that's incredible!" "That's so big of Towa-rin!" "Talk about super lucky!" "That's so big of Towa-rin!" "Aya." "What's wrong?" "Did something happen?" "Hey, Otohata." "You've been focused on studying for exams lately, so you've been neglecting Aya, haven't you?" "Go over there and talk to her for a bit." "I wouldn't mind doing that, but she might not like it so much." "Does that mean you really are the reason Aya's depressed?" "What is it, Tatsukichi?" "Ran, come here for a sec." "Hey..." "Wait, what's this about, Tatsukichi?" "Hey, what're you doing?" "!" "Ran." "I'm confused." "About what?" "!" "About your feelings..." "I don't know if you care about me just as much as I care about you!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "!" "Are you saying you can't trust me?" "!" "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Then prove it to me by acting like it!" "Acting like it?" "!" "I'm asking you to act more like we're boyfriend and girlfriend!" "This is who I am!" "Aren't you with me because you fell in love with that?" "!" "If you don't like it, why don't you go find a nicer girlfriend somewhere else?" "!" "Ran, that's going a bit too far!" "I make a point of saying what's on my mind!" "Come on, apologize to Tatsukichi." "Hah!" "I did nothing wrong, so I'm not apologizing!" "I see, so that's how you see things..." "In that case, I've got some ideas of my own, too." "Hah!" "Ideas?" "There's a girl in Machida who cares only about me." "You don't mean..." "Ran, I won't be able to see you for a while." "I'm going to her now." "Goodbye." "Come on, Ran, you have to stop him!" "Wasn't that a declaration of unfaithfulness?" "!" "Hah!" "It doesn't bother me!" "She's welcome to him!" "To hell with that stupid monkey Tatsukichi!" "Ow ow ow..." "Don't build a pillar in a spot like this, damn it!" "Oh, you're so stubborn..." "Well, thanks for having us!" "Good night!" "Later, Kotobuki!" "Thanks for coming, Mami-rin." "Later!" "Well, Miyu's gonna clean up the cafe before going home." "Right." "Later." "Thanks for everything." "Hey, Otohata!" "Where do you think you're going without your girlfriend?" "You, too, Aya." "What're you doing absentmindedly seeing him off?" "What?" "Man, today's special menu was seriously good, huh?" "Towa-rin's got a twisted personality, but her skills as a cook are undeniable." "Um, are you Miss Hoshino?" "We're your underclassmen." "We're going to be attending Hounan High School next year." "We look forward to seeing you there!" "I see, so you guys'll be one year below us." "Excellent." "Oh, could it be that you're Miss Kotobuki and Mr. Otohata of Meisho Number One?" "Yeah, that's right." "So, the rumor that Mr. Otohata and Miss Kotobuki are dating is true!" "You dummies, what're you saying?" "Rei-pyon is Aya's boyfriend." "What?" "But..." "Right?" "Come on, Aya, don't be shy." "It's the truth, so don't hesitate and tell it to 'em." "Come on, Rei-pyon, you tell 'em, too." "Tell them what?" ""I'm Aya's boyfriend," of course." "That's so stupid." "Why do I have to say something like that here?" "Wow, so Miss Hoshino is your girlfriend?" "Miss Hoshino, that's incredible!" "Is it true?" "They're asking if it's true." "So how about it?" ""So how about it"?" "!" "Talk about being rude!" "Stop it already, Ran!" "Aya?" "Is it so fun for you to embarrass me?" "!" "Just leave me alone!" "Hey, Aya!" "What's going on here?" "Beats me." "Maybe it's because you took things too far." "What?" "That doesn't make any sense." "Damn it!"
