"As one encounter led to a double romance three beating hearts played gentle melodies." "I, Kasuga Kyosuke, 15 years old am living the best years of my youth!" "That's the accelerator screamin', as the tires are squealing' takin' you along, a girl I hardly knew, in my speeding' coupe." "You slammed the door, evadin' the shadows that followed sayin' "Take me anywhere, Just go!"" "An encounter is like a highway junction..." "I've fallen in love with you - that I realized by the time the seaport was in sight..." ""Take me to Summer Side"" "Sayin' that you desire tenderness over a caress..." ""Night of Summer Side"" "...the way you avoided me, using' that naive look, wasn't so innocent." ""Take me to Summer Side"" "Sayin' that you desire a caress over loneliness..." ""Night of Summer Side"" "...the way you looked into my eyes as you turned back wasn't so innocent." "Study Abroad in America." "Good-bye, Madoka!" "Ayukawa's sister got married." "But, at that moment I had a feeling that something awful was about to happen." "It's because I learned that Ayukawa's parents are internationally-famous violinists." ""Chicago Philharmonic..." "World-Renowned Violinists..." "Ayukawas' Daughter marries"" ""First Daughter's marriage a turning point." "Will Ayukawas Seek Permanent Residency in America?"" "What?" "!" "No way..." "Madoka..." "Is that for real, Master?" "!" "Is Madoka going to America for good?" "!" "Yeah..." "Said she's made up her mind, and wants to go with her parents." "Actually, she was here yesterday to tell me about it." "N..." "No way..." "Madoka..." "And, well... she wanted to keep it a secret from you guys." "Darling, I don't want her to go!" "I don't want her to!" "I don't want Madoka to go!" "It's so like her... to not want to be seen being sentimental." "Oh!" "She said she'd come say good-bye to you guys before she flies out." "N..." "No way..." "But, then, I think that'd be cruel to you guys." "Besides, at the very least, we'll want to give her a farewell party." "A..." "And, so..." "Master w... when is Ayukawa...?" "Next Sunday..." ""93... 94... 95..."" "That's only three days from now!" ""96... 97... 98..." ""99... 100!"" ""No way!" "There should only be 99 steps!"" ""But, I counted them right. "" ""99, I said!"" ""100!"" ""Okay, then let's make it... 99 1/2 steps!"" ""Okay, we'll pretend we don't know 'til the day before she leaves..." ""...meanwhile we'll set up the farewell party."" "No way!" "I won't..." "I won't I won't let it happen!" "Madoka... once we move, we'll be able to be together all the time." "I'll even be able to stop by at your school every so often, huh?" "I wonder if the schools there have such a thing as "Parents Visitation Day?"" "Madoka..." "I'm sorry we left you alone for so long." "Morning!" "Morning!" "Morning!" "Frankly..." "I couldn't sleep at all!" "Yuusaku!" "Look at you!" "What happened?" "Er..." "Well, y'know..." ""What?" "!" "What did you just say about Madoka?" "!"" ""Who the heck is this bozo?" "!"" ""Dude, you know Madoka?" "!"" ""Yeah!"" ""Ha!" "We were just saying how nice it would be if Madoka..." ""...that bitchy tease, loosens up a little in America!"" ""Then, we could have so much fun with her when she gets back!"" ""You bastard!" "What do you think you're doin'?" "!"" ""You bastards..." "I won't let you get away with this!"" "I see..." "Yuusaku..." "I'm sure Hikaru will be heartbroken." "Yo!" "That doesn't mean that you can get friendly with her, got that!" "What?" "!" "A Farewell Party for Ayukawa?" "!" "Oh, sorry!" "I've got something I have to do on Saturday." "Could you possibly help out somehow?" "The more the merrier, you know." "But, you know, we don't exactly hang out with Ayukawa much, so..." "R..." "Right, Hatta?" "Let me see..." "When "X" is a real number, this inequality is..." "H..." "Hey!" "Like, what's this?" "!" "NOW you're studying?" "!" "Why, you!" "You little...!" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Good morning!" "Good morning." "Ayukawa..." "She wasn't her usual..." "Yes... she wasn't her usual "stuck-up, maybe a bit shy and reserved" self." "Even I could see that today she was a little different." "Er..." "In this expression, the place where you're most likely to go wrong is the direction of the inequality sign so you'd better review what we went over last time." "That day, Ayukawa didn't even try to look at me once." "And, I too thought that..." "I too thought that..." "Ayukawa..." "Kasuga..." "W..." "Would you wait a minute, Hikaru?" "!" "I brought my own lunch!" "Well, it's not like it's gonna kill you!" "I used all my know-how to make it!" "I want you to enjoy it!" "Okay!" "Fine..." "Stop pulling me like that!" "Ta-da!" "Are you all ready?" "Garcons?" "Mademoiselles?" "Oui!" "Oui!" "Please, Miss Madoka!" "Wh..." "What's with all this?" "Well!" "I made it all by myself!" "Yoo-hoo!" "And, so, everyday from now on we'll be having an "All-U- Can-Eat" buffet right here!" "E..." "Everyday?" "!" "Right!" "Tomorrow, and the next day... and the day after that..." "And, then..." "And, then..." "Well, you get the idea." "There's no telling how long this whimsy of Hikaru's will last, but..." "Kurumi and I have promised to help out!" "And, we're gonna make the other girls in our classroom help out too!" "Er..." "Er... my mama was saying that you'll get tired of western food if that's all you're having, so she said she'd make some stewed daikon radishes for you." "Oh, gawd!" "Yuusaku, you silly thing!" "Okay, then! "For what we are about to receive!"" "It sure is good, huh, Hikaru?" "Well, duh!" "Duh!" "Oh!" "N..." "Nothing..." "We've gotta eat..." "That's right!" "Gotta eat..." "Everyone, together like this, eating." "Even tomorrow and the day after that..." "and the day after that." "Everybody... with Ayukawa... we've got to have lunch together!" ""I understand, Madoka."" ""But... you sure it's going to be all right?"" ""What do you mean?"" ""About Kasuga, that is."" ""Hard as it might be to believe, even I had a few love affairs before I got married."" ""So, I..."" ""Master!"" ""Huh?"" ""Please..."" ""I've... made up my mind."" "And, Saturday came but Ayukawa didn't come to school." "What?" "!" "Ayukawa wasn't there?" "!" "I'm afraid so..." "We went to pick her up, but..." "Mrs. A said she'd just vanished, without doing any packing." "Not packed yet?" "But isn't that why she skipped school today, to pack?" "!" "Right?" "Er..." "Oh!" "No!" "Hatta!" "Oh, man!" "If I may!" "Eat this!" "Want me to put you in the hospital?" "Should we all go out and try to find her?" "But... where might she be?" "No doubt about it!" "It's all because of those bozos!" ""Those bozos?" "!"" "O..." "Oh..." "You mean those delinquents who were badmouthing Ayukawa?" "What?" "You mean, maybe they wanted to get even?" "!" "We're gonna go look for her, Yuusaku!" "Sure!" "Sempai, you too!" "What?" "!" "Maybe it's just like what Yuusaku said..." "But, what if... what if Ayukawa feels..." "What if she feels about..." "as much as I do..." "No..." "It doesn't have to be as much, but..." "What if she feels the same... about about me...?" ""The Kasuga Family:" "Takashi, Kyosuke, Manami  Kurumi."" "You're late..." "I'm just not that honest and I'm too selfish." "Good luck..." "Good-bye... 95... 96... 97... 98... 99... 100!" "Ayukawa!" "Looks like you miscounted again." "I knew you'd be here." "You really like this town?" "Maybe something's wrong with you, Kasuga!" "This is just an average town, no different than any other." "Compared to here, America is..." "Well, there's New York..." "Los Angeles..." "Hollywood and Beverly Hills." "All kinds of people, and lots of great things are waiting for me, y'know!" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Oh, yeah, I forgot!" "In order to make it possible, I've got to study English a lot more!" "I..." "I..." "Ever since I came to this town I've felt that this is where I wanted to be the most." "Yeah, that's right..." "Ever since the day I counted the steps!" "Ever since that moment this town became the best place for me!" "Seems when it comes to grown-up stuff... we're just not that strong." "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Oh, c'mon, Kasuga!" "Did you really think that I'd be going to America for good?" "!" "From the start, I never intended to move there!" "What?" "!" "That's right..." "I was just trying to trick everyone!" "N..." "No way!" "They're gone..." "Did Ayukawa... really never intend to go to America...?" "At any rate..." "Ayukawa's decision to stay was for real." "I dream of casting a spell that captures your heart and makes you crazy about me." "Love is deja vu; an unfamiliar memory." "I feel our lips pressing together." "Love me... tenderly..." "Golden Summer Mirage..." "Someday..." "Someday..." "Please let my body feel your lips on that morning I'll be called your lover." "Someday, someday..." "I'll be waiting for that moment." "All the guys went nuts when Hikaru came dressed up like a real grown-up!" "Having said that..." "I think I'm falling for her too." "Well, er... maybe I'll ask her to go to a concert or something." "Next time: "Everyone is Looking!" "Hikaru's Super Transformation."" "I... might get captivated!"
