"As I tried to kiss you, as if to avoid me with your T-Shirt on, you dove into the shining sea..." "The white flower petals on your soaking skirt..." "Spread open upon the surface of the blue water." "Tell me why, when you winked..." "Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me" " You're unpredictable..." "'Tell me you love me, Tell me that you need me..." "Tell Me, Tell Me, ...my Angel of the Summer..." "'Tell me, lover, Tell me that you need me..." "Oh Baby, Tell Me, Tell Me - I know that you're in love..." "'Tell me you love me, Tell me that you need me..." "Tell Me, Tell Me - but you're a mystery." "Th..." "That was..." "Who thinks it should be Kasuga?" "Aye!" "We've decided to go with Kasuga!" "Fine!" "Fine!" "I'll show ya, I'll get the first place prize!" "No, not yet!" "That stubborn fool!" "Kyosuke and Madoka in a Big Fight - A Three-Legged Race of Love." "Hikaru... aren't you done yet?" "Kyosuke and Madoka in a Big Fight - A Three-Legged Race of Love." "Not yet!" "Kyosuke and Madoka in a Big Fight - A Three-Legged Race of Love." "Just a few more minutes, okay?" "I'll take off my skirt and then..." "Oh!" "My bra's gotten unhooked!" "Would you please hurry up!" "Darling!" "Whoa!" "Well, well?" "!" "How do I look?" "!" "You look great..." "Yeah!" "All right!" "I'll take this one!" "Er..." "Hikaru..." "Dammit!" "That bastard Kasuga!" "Mister!" "That's not edible, sir!" "Yuusaku!" "Does this look like a hamburger to you?" "!" "That bastard!" "Mister!" "Darling, what's wrong?" "Goddammit!" "That Kasuga bastard!" "Oh, Darling!" "Look where he's hiding!" "You called?" "!" "'S... 'Scuse me, sir..." "Darling..." "Yuusaku?" "There was a good reason why Hikaru was shopping here." "The 23rd Koryo School Marathon Competition." "It's supposed to shake the summerbreak blues out of all of us." ""23rd Koryo School Marathon." "Boys:" "Leadoff:" "Miura, 2nd:" "Kanda, etc."" "Er... the question is who should be anchorman and anchorwoman..." "We'd like to decide who will get to be our sacrificial lambs." "Does anyone have a suggestion as to who to choose?" "Anyone?" "The marathon will be a relay, in which the homerooms compete against each other." "The anchors must run an extra 3km." "Here!" "Er..." "Komatsu." "Yes, I recommend Hatta!" "The way he MOVES when he's buying a Cutlet-Sandwich... it's just inhuman!" "Yeah!" "Agreed!" "You idiot!" "Here!" "Hatta." "It's got to be Komatsu, no matter what!" "The way he pursues girls no matter how much he gets dumped... that spunk that, I believe, is what we need in an anchorman!" "Komatsu is the man!" "Hatta!" "Here!" "Here!" "Here!" "Komatsu." "Yes, the way he bites into a sandwich..." "it looks just like the lgangaa!" ""lgangaa": a made-up giant robot." "Hooray!" "I believe that kind of thinking is..." "Ikangaa." ""lkan": not good (Oosaka dialect)." "Pun on lgangaa." "Sir!" "After such a pitiful pun, I believe Hatta's got to be our choice!" "In short, this was how we decided who got to be humiliated." "Here!" "I recommend Kasuga!" "He's fast at getting involved with girls, so I bet he can run fast too!" "Say what?" "!" "I mean, it seems like you're doing all right with Hikaru..." "And, remember what happened at the mountains, over the summer?" "Th..." "That was..." "Good idea!" "Yeah!" "Who thinks it should be Kasuga?" "What?" "!" "Then it's agreed." "We've decided to go with Kasuga." "Er... now, for the anchorwoman..." "What?" "!" "Me and you, Kasuga?" "!" "There you have it." "What the..." "Aren't you gonna be in it?" "!" "I don't know..." "Oh, c'mon!" "Let's!" "Why?" "'Cause!" "It's a school event!" "Goody-Goody!" "That's not what I mean!" "Why do you want me to run, then?" "I'm saying that together, you and I..." "What?" "W..." "Well, because they'll get the wrong idea about you if you skip this one too." "Y'know..." "It's for your own good." "It makes no difference to me..." "Besides, I don't care what people think." "You're wrong!" "What am I gonna tell Komatsu and the guys?" "It's got nothing to do with me!" "Of course it does!" "If we both get the first place prizes, then everyone's gonna be..." "Do it yourself then." "Fine!" "Fine!" "I'll show ya, I'll get the first place prize!" "Nincompoop!" "Goody-Goody Two Shoes!" "Hmphf!" ""Madoka, try to run it by me again!"" ""Try running it by me again, I'm tellin' ya!"" ""What's the big deal, goody-goody two shoes?" "!"" ""Looks like I gotta beat the crap outta you to make you understand."" ""You obstinate bitch!"" ""Oh, Master Kyosuke!" "It was I who erred!" "Please forgive me!"" ""Please forgive me!"" "No!" "It's unforgivable!" "What's unforgivable?" "B..." "Bye!" "That hardhead!" "The way things are now, I've got to come in first, no matter what!" ""Mountain."" ""River."" "Well, Kasuga?" "You aren't being followed by anybody, are you?" "!" "What?" "Right, don't worry about a thing!" "Let me give you the scoop on the method by which you'll be running "fast," without any hard training at all!" "This is a top secret!" "Trust us!" "Does such a thing exist?" "!" "Absolutely!" "I wish I could've told Seko or the Sou Brothers about it too, man!" "In preparation for tomorrow:" "FIRST, we must study the course!" "Up to this point, there'll be girls who'll be watching us and there are stops at which girls will be handing out water so obviously, you've gotta strut your stuff and run." "Understand?" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "This way!" "Oh!" "And then... this is the important part!" "Raise up the collar like this..." "Be sure to hide your face." "Go up this passage here and rejoin the crowd before anybody notices!" "Well?" "Well?" "You'll pass a good 100 runners easily!" "I can't believe that I'm the anchorman because of these morons!" "Gosh..." "Gee, I had no idea you were sneaking in here on your way home!" "Gosh, no, that's not what we're doing." "Gee, what a coincidence!" "We had no idea at all!" "Right, Hatta?" "Indeed, we really had no idea." "Okay, here comes the strawberry." "Say "Ah!"" "Okay, here's some creme for you." "Good?" "Happy Happy!" "Okay!" "How's that?" "Let's eat up!" "Okay, more on the way." "Say "Ah."" "Free Anko..." "Psych!" "Just kidding." ""Anko:" Sweet bean paste." "Oh!" "You dimwits!" "Brothah Dearest..." "Yippee!" "Yo, Anchorman!" "Worst comes to worst, I've got to use the Power, or else..." "Seems that a lot of people will be around here though." "I just need to sneak into this bathroom!" "Let's see now..." "Sempai!" "What are you doing?" "Er..." "I was just thinking how clean the bathroom is." "That's the Ladies' Room!" "What?" "!" "Er, ahem..." "I was preparing for the marathon, you see..." "Oh!" "You're training for it?" "W..." "Well..." "Nobody else is doing anything special." "Why are you so serious about it?" "Huh?" "E..." "Er, well..." ""lf anything, perhaps I'm doing it for a certain someone..."" "Yeah, right!" "S..." "So that's how it was after all..." "I..." "I..." "In all honesty, those were the words I've longed to hear." "Yippee!" "Darling!" "You're the best!" "W..." "W..." "Wait a sec, Hikaru!" "Oh, gosh!" "What?" "Kasuga is in training?" "!" "Yes." "It's incredible!" "He's so driven, enough to get him to the Seoul Olympics!" "Oh..." "Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna be making him special "High-Energy lunches..."" "...in the hopes that Sempai can claim that first place prize!" "Say Madoka... the music stopped playing." "Good morning." "You're going straight to the Seoul Olympics, or so I hear." "That's right!" "Unlike a certain hardhead I know." "A hardhead?" "!" "Who're you to call me a hardhead?" "!" "You and your ego!" "Why don't you try to get the Gold Medal while you're at it!" "Yes, I'll do that, thank you!" "That was the front door!" ""By the time he learned to crawl, he was in intensive training..."" "C'mon!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "It's not that I wanted to train but I wanted to get the first place prize so that I could get back at Ayukawa!" "Or at least, that was my plan." "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "C'mon!" "Fight!" "Hikaru, I'm in the running to be an anchorman!" "How uncool!" "You have to get BEGGED to be one, like Sempai was!" ""Darling is, you see..."" ""Darling, you see, said he's running for my sake!"" ""Yippee!" "Lucky!" "Lucky!"" "Hikaru!" "I, too..." "What...?" "...am thinking about running for the sake of someone." "Oh, really?" "!" "That person's name is written with three characters..." "It begins with "Hi-" and ends in "-ru."" "Oh gee, I wonder who that is!" "Never mind that, you're interfering with Sempai's training!" "Go away!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Oh, by the way, Yuusaku..." "There's no way you can run fast with those bowlegs of yours!" "Oww Oww Oww..." "Hey!" "Hold still!" "But..." "Man, that's cold!" "What the heck is it?" "!" "It's a cold patch!" "If you aren't careful, you won't be able to compete." "Well, there you go!" "O... oww..." "You sure are dedicated!" "Have you become a diehard sports maniac?" "Why don't you get some exercise yourselves?" "!" "I got these, y'know!" "Here." "It's easy if you wear a pair of these." "No!" "No!" "I can't use them?" "Of course not!" "Well, worst case, I can use the Power and run 3 km in 2 or 3 seconds!" "Are you nuts?" "!" "We'd have to change schools again!" "That's right, Kurumi!" "Hey!" "You kids had better not be using the Power at school!" "But of course, daddy-o..." "Kurumi!" "Huh?" "At any rate..." "I've got to use the Power this time, or else..." "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Sempai, wanna take a break for a while?" "No, not yet!" "That's my man!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "That stubborn fool!" "There are a lot of people around there, so near the supermarket is out." "Looks like I've got to teleport from that bathroom." "And, then..." "Kasuga... er..." "Lemmesee... is that phone booth the only place I could...?" "I know I was acting really stubborn before, but..." "I'm..." "What I mean is..." "Oh, thanks for the cola." "Say, Hikaru..." "Wh..." "What the?" "!" "Ayukawa?" "!" "Excuse me for being Ayukawa!" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "W..." "Wait a sec!" "What brings you here?" "How dare you!" "What's his problem?" "!" "Really!" "Wait!" "What's with this?" "!" "Taking a cold shower, Sempai?" "Look, you!" "The fact is... things have gotten very screwy between Ayukawa and me." "And THAT is something that I can't use the Power to fix." "But I've got to get myself out of this horrendous situation!" "Oooh, I wanna get myself out of this..." "Ushiko, wherefore art thou, Ushiko?" "Umao, wherefore art thou, Umao?" "'Scuse me!" "Aoki." "Here." "Okamoto." "Here." "Ozaki." "Here." "Kasuga." "Is Kasuga absent today?" "Sir!" "Apparently Kasuga's caught a cold, so he'll be absent." "I wonder if he's all right, I mean, the marathon is tomorrow!" "Hey... maybe he deliberately caught a cold by turning up the A.C.!" "I wonder... if it's because of what I did...?" "Poor Sempai..." "He was training so hard too." "It was so wonderful to see him run so well." "Do you know why he became so serious about it?" "Huh...?" "It's because of what?" "...he's doing it for the sake of somebody!" "Oh, gosh!" "I'll go visit him after school!" ""Look..." "If we both get the first place prizes, then everyone's gonna be..."" "For somebody's sake..." "At any rate... it was such an embarrassing way of catching a cold." "My Power is half gone now..." "I'm gonna come in last for sure!" "Damn it, this sucks!" "Maybe I should just bag it totally." "I bet Ayukawa would mock me..." "Who is it?" "!" "Be quiet, will ya?" "!" "I'll unlock the door!" "Is that Kurumi?" "Or Manami?" "What the heck do you want?" "!" "A..." "Ayukawa!" "Can I come in?" "No!" "No!" "Absolutely not!" "Wh..." "Who would?" "!" "Who would let you in?" "!" "Looks like I'm okay now..." "Oh." "I'm glad." "I'm really glad..." "I'm sorry for being obstinate about..." "Don't be..." "What's wrong?" "Huh?" "Oh!" "Er..." "Kasuga..." "Huh?" "If you're alone... tomorrow isn't a sure thing, is it?" "You mean..." "You know, looks like my cold is gone!" "Let's "goal in" together, okay?" "!" "The truth is..." "I was hoping that you'd ask me that way in the beginning." "All went well at the Koryo School Marathon until the late afternoon, except for some disqualifications." "I guess we're busted, huh?" "Yeah..." "As expected, our class was running so slowly we were the last of the worst." "By the time it was our turn to run the sun had already headed west." "Er..." "What's taking them so long?" "Hikaru..." "let's go home!" "As if in a three-legged race..." "it somehow felt like it felt like I could go on forever..." "together with Ayukawa." "Broken Heart is in Flames. "It began in the summer..."" "Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, Fire Love. "It burnt up in the fall..."" "Broken Heart is in Flames. "It's withering in the winter..."" "Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love..." "On that last night we went out for a drive, I left my go-out voice behind." "As we watched the horizon, I said good-bye." "Like seasons, hit songs come and go..." "As you get used to one, you're tired of it..." "That's what's written on your profile." "You were waiting for the lucky star in your room I was too late to notice it in that one phone call that day." "Broken Heart is in Flames. "It began in the summer..."" "Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, Fire Love. "It burnt up in the fall..."" "Broken Heart is in Flames. "It's withering in the winter..."" "Flare, Flare, Flare like the Sun, Fire Love..." "Erase the memory of you from me... "Stop, Stop, Stop."" "This kid... is my cousin, Kazuya." "I can't say it out loud, but..." "you see... he's telepathic!" "He does things like hugging Ayukawa, or flipping her skirt up..." "He does one thing after another..." "the things I think about!" "Next time: "Introducing Kazuya!" "Be Very Careful around the 'Panic Kid.'"" "I... must not think bad thoughts!"
