"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." "Kurumi, I'll Teach You How To Date." "What're you doing?" "!" "Putting away winter clothes!" "I should've done it a bit sooner, 'cuz summer is coming soon!" "Hmm..." "Summer is coming, eh..." "What happened?" "!" "Wh..." "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "Why, you..." "Kurumi!" "'Cuz!" "'Cuz!" "I wanted to repaint the patterns in the room!" "Kurumi!" "You were using the Power just now, weren't you!" "'Cuz!" "'Cuz!" "I thought it'd finish the job quicker!" "Guess I goofed, huh?" "What a troublemaker you are!" "Put everything back where it was!" "Uh-huh." "I..." "Idiot!" "Don't use the Power!" "H..." "Hey!" "Put me down!" "In the end, the room was left unchanged..." "No-no!" "'Cause outdoors is full of cars!" "I'm pooped!" "Kurumi had used up all her Power." "But, who could know how that would affect what happened next?" "No one could even imagine that it could happen." "Say, what wallpaper do you want?" "The Arabesque-patterned one." ""The Arabesque-patterned one?" "!"" "Maybe you need some rest, Kurumi." "I wonder if I do..." "I'm sorry." "Okay?" "Oh!" "This is gorgeous!" "This one's nice too!" "Yeah!" "Hey!" "Let's get this one!" "Hmm..." "Will it match your room?" "Will you please make up your minds, like right now!" "With girls, this is something you just have to put up with!" "Wh..." "What the hell do you want?" "!" "Say, Madoka?" "How about something like this?" "Hmm..." "Nice, but..." "I dunno..." "Not me?" "Well, you'll feel miserable wearing it if you aren't full-chested." "Oh, no..." "Gee, you're mean!" "Say..." "What do you think about this one?" "On second thought..." "Maybe not." "Darling!" "Oh..." "Hi!" "Sh..." "Shopping together?" "Yes!" "Oh, what great timing!" "Why don't we have Kasuga-sempai help us pick out the best, eh?" "Huh...?" "Sure..." "Oh!" "Darling, if you don't mind!" "Pl..." "Please let me help you too!" "Oniichan!" "Oniichan, where are you?" "!" "Come over here, quick!" "Say what?" "!" "Kurumi was taken away by some stranger?" "!" "It's true..." "She disappeared while I was talking to a clerk about wallpaper and when I looked around for her, I asked people, and they said that a man wearing sunglasses took her away." "A man wearing sunglasses?" "!" "We'd better go look for her right away!" "It'll be awful if she gets attacked or something!" "Well..." "I'm not too worried about that." "The truth is that I'm afraid of the reverse...!" "We've gotta find her, before it's too late..." "Y'know, Kurumi used up all her Power this morning!" "Oh!" "I forgot about that!" "Oh, no!" "Kasuga... we'll go with you and help you out!" "Yeah!" "I'll help too!" "I..." "I'm gonna help too!" ""Oniisan!"" "Was Kurumi... abducted?" "!" "It's..." "It's not definite yet..." "Hey, where did you ooze out from?" "!" "So... the man who took Kurumi away..." "What was he like?" "One of the girls who saw him said..." "He looked like a sex-maniac, wore sunglasses had big lips, and a face full of acne!" "That's GODAWFUL!" "Manami, let's go look for her!" "You go with Kurumi!" "Okay!" "Well, then..." "Huh?" "Hey, you cheater!" "How can I go with Kurumi?" "!" "Are you okay?" "There he is!" "There he is!" "H..." "Hey you!" "Wh..." "Where did you hide Kurumi?" "!" "Say what?" "!" "Who the hell are you?" "D..." "Don't act innocent!" "A guy who perfectly fits your description kidnapped my little sister!" "What?" "!" "Are you accusing me of somethin' I didn't do?" "!" "You got some nerve, guy!" "Sabu, stop it!" "What?" "!" "Miss Ayukawa..." "Er... er..." "I didn't realize..." "Is he a friend of yours?" "Please, I apologize!" "I didn't know he was a friend of yours, Ayukawa." "I am really sorry!" "I mean, your friend blurted out some crazy things, so..." "I really... know nothing about this gentleman's sister." "Yo!" "Guys!" "Anyone know anybody who tried to mess with a "Kurumi?"" "What?" "I have no idea, man..." "I wouldn't know..." "Do you know?" "I don't know of anyone..." "I don't know either..." "I haven't a clue..." ""I don't know" ain't no help!" "Get with it!" "Go check it out!" "Sabu..." "You don't have to do this." "Oh, it's perfectly all right!" "Anyway, those guys have nothing better to do, so..." "Sabu..." "Ayukawa never ceases to amaze me!" "Isn't this great?" "They're all willing to help!" "Huh?" "O..." "Oh!" "By "never ceasing to amaze me," I didn't just mean that she's someone very important or that she's always one step ahead but, you see..." "But, at any rate..." "I had absolutely no idea where Kurumi might be." "So I'm just following Ayukawa and Hikaru around looking for her." "As her big brother, I'm ashamed that I can't do better." "I'm sure that we'll find Kurumi." "Ayukawa..." "I got a lead that a girl fitting Kurumi's description was seen at a Cherry Street crepe shop with a man wearing sunglasses." "Cherry Street?" "!" "Wait..." "Huh?" "I'm sure that we'll be getting more reports from all over." "It'd be better if you remain here a little longer, Kasuga." "Hikaru, you go and check out Cherry Street." "Sure!" "Oh!" "It's dangerous going there alone!" "So I'll go with you!" "Hikaru!" "I feel awful imposing on everyone." "When we're in trouble, we count on each other." "That Kurumi..." "As soon as she's found, I'll have words with her!" "I envy that..." "Envy what?" "Oh, no..." "It's nothing." "Ayukawa!" "Bad news!" "What?" "The Sunglasses Guy and a girl fitting Kurumi's description were seen together at the "Lovers' Forest" near Shinmachi Ave.!" "The "Lovers' Forest?" "!"" "Yeah..." "I'm told that they were walking right by it." "Sabu, take care of everyone, okay?" "Y..." "Yes..." "Er..." "What's the "Lovers' Forest?"" "Go there and you'll figure it out!" "Thanks..." "That way!" "Right here!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Where are you?" "!" "When he said "Lovers' Forest..."" "...I guess this is the kind of a place that he meant." "It's supposed to be just another normal park but somehow it ended up like this." "Now it's kind of embarrassing..." "to come in here." "What can I do for you?" "I don't think this is the kind of place kids like you ought to come to." "A girl like the one you're looking for didn't come in here." "So, why don't you leave at once." "But, sir, the park is so big..." "What if..." "Listen!" "We do a check at the entrance." "I'm telling you, she didn't come in here." "Or, maybe... you made up this "looking for my little sister" story when really, you just wanted to come in here on a date?" "What?" "!" "You're wrong!" "Let's go!" "Ayukawa was embarrassed, and when I saw people staring I really wanted to have a word or two with them, but the truth is that... seeing Ayukawa embarrassed was rather charming." ""Lesson 1:" "In the Coffee Shop"" ""To invite a girl to go into a coffee-shop with you..." ""...you should lead her by either holding her hand casually, or..." ""...placing your hand around her waist."" ""Rather than sitting across a table from each other..." ""...the counter is more intimate and permits occasional bodily contact."" ""Thus she will feel more comfortable, and she'll be more receptive to you."" "All right!" "I'll do that this time!" ""Also, when she becomes tipsy, after a round of drinks..." "'Well?" "Wanna go someplace a little nicer?" "'" ""Say something to that effect in order to make her go with you." "'No...?" "' "Even if she refuses and says that, you should repeatedly say..." "'C'mon, let's go...', as assuming control of the situation works best."" "Young man!" "What's the meaning of this?" "!" "Oh!" "It's just... er..." "I don't want my merchandise played around with!" "I..." "I'm sorry, sir!" "Ah!" "Sorry about having made you wait!" "Oh!" "This is so good!" "What the...!" "W..." "Will you get your cat off the chair?" "!" "I guess it won't work like it did in the video..." "Say..." "Wanna have some more drinks?" "I want something more to eat!" "Wh..." "Oh..." "O..." "Okay..." "Hey!" "We need to add an order over here!" "Over here!" "Lemmesee now..." "Pizza-Toast, a Cutlet-Sandwich then... a Mimosa Salad, Pineapple Juice and then, lemmesee... a large Corn Soup for Jingoro!" "I haven't seen a girl like that." "I see." "Thank you very much." "What the hell do you want?" "I am looking for a kidnapper who's wearing sunglasses." "Beat it!" "How could you... at a time like this...?" "Are you all right?" "I..." "I'm dying..." "Say..." "Do you really think that Kurumi might be somewhere around here?" "My gut feelings are... usually right on target!" "No doubt about it!" "I'm sure that she's somewhere in this park." "I wonder..." "Definitely!" "To be riding on a boat alone with a girl..." "There's nothing more fun than this!" "Though... somehow we seem to be going to a more remote area." "Huh?" "!" "Hey..." "Shouldn't we go look someplace that has more people?" "Oh, no!" "If there aren't many people, it's more dangerous, you see!" "That's the reason why we must look for them around here!" "That was good!" "Did I eat or what?" "!" "Oh, boy, am I stuffed!" "That was a treat, huh?" "'S..." "Scuse me..." "Huh?" "500 for the video rental spaghetti, iced-milk, pizza-toast, cutlet-sandwich and..." "What are you doing?" "O..." "Oh!" "Nothing!" "Say, why don't we get outta here and go someplace a little nicer?" "A nicer place?" "I..." "I mean, a fun place!" "Yippee!" "Let's go!" "Huh?" "Really?" "!" "Yup!" "Let's go then!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Somehow things just don't go the way they do in the video!" "Still, things are looking up, it seems!" "Ayukawa!" "It doesn't look good!" "We can't find anyone who's seen a girl fitting Kurumi's description!" "I see..." "That Kurumi..." "Where could she be?" "!" "I just hope... that she wasn't taken away in a car or something!" "What?" "!" "We'll go look for her some more!" "But, I feel bad about bothering you guys so much." "We ain't doin' it for you!" "We're... doing it for Ayukawa." "You see, once... a long time ago, Ayukawa..." "Sabu!" "Excuse me." "I'll go look for her." "He's a nice guy..." "They're all..." "Huh?" "...my friends." "Come on now." "We'd better go look for her as well." "Oh!" "Beau-ti-ful!" "Sheesh!" "After all the trouble I went through, we end up here!" ""Girls are defenseless when in a pleasant mood. "" ""They're most vulnerable at sunset... "" "All right!" "That's it!" "It sure is quiet." "This sunset... it's as if it's blessing both of us." "What the...?" "K..." "Kurumi?" "Ushiko... wherefore art thou, Ushiko?" "Umao... wherefore art thou, Umao?" "'Scuze us!" "Jingoro!" "Jingoro!" "This way!" "Jingoro!" "Don't you see, that kind of a thing is meant to be done, not seen!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "She couldn't... possibly have been..." "What am I to do?" "!" "Looks like we'll have to go to the Police." "Yeah..." "Jingoro!" "Weren't you with Kurumi?" "!" "Where is Kurumi?" "!" "She must be around here somewhere." "Kurumi..." "I hope you're all right..." "Jingoro..." "Jingoro..." "Jingoro?" "Where are you?" "Kurumi..." "Huh?" "Let's perform a love scene together!" "What would you say?" "Jingoro..." "That's Kurumi's voice!" "Kurumi!" "It came from over there..." "Oh!" "Did you just hear Kurumi scream?" "Huh?" "Hmm..." "If we stay here, she might happen by." "Let me see now..." "Why don't you..." "Hey, the culprit's dropping in..." "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Kurumi!" "Are you hurt?" "!" "No...pe!" "Just when it was getting good!" "How dare you!" "You're mine!" "I..." "I didn't mean any harm!" "Wh..." "Why it's..." "B..." "Bro!" "Sheesh..." "Kurumi's kidnapper was Komatsu's big brother?" "!" "We were stunned by this strange twist of fate, it seemed so moronic!" "But, regardless..." "What WERE you thinking, going off with a guy?" "Sorry!" "But, it's a little odd..." "What is?" "Kurumi used up all her Power this morning so she shouldn't have been able to use it, I thought." "Oh!" "Now that you mention it, you're right." "After he treated me to lots of food, I was all charged up again!" "Oh, I'm jealous!" "Lucky you!" "So, what did you get to eat?" "!" "Lemmesee, cutlet-sandwich, and all kinds of stuff!" "Lucky you!" "Everything turned out okay." "Never before had my feelings towards Ayukawa been..." "What?" "!" "Hikaru's at the hospital?" "!" "Apparently, Yuusaku got hurt." "Anyway, she wants you to go there." "Okay." "I'll go right over." ""Nakayama General Hospital"" "Here." "Say "Ah!"" "One more." "Say "Ah!"" "It had been a long, busy day, full of all sorts of events." "Darling!"

"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." "The "Energized-All-Day Girl" Hikaru suddenly collapsed at school!" "It happened just like in a dream that I had this morning." "What if everything happens just like in the rest of the dream?" "!"
