"W-W-What in the world is..." "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "O-Otohata, what's happened to you?" "!" "Otohata!" "You're irritating." "I've got work, so..." "H-Hey, Otohata, wait!" "Otohata, wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "WAIT!" "He even told me I'm irritating in my dream." "Romantic Forecast Unclear " " Otohata then Katase?" "!" "Aya, today's acce-shopping day." "You're coming, right?" "(Acce-shopping = Go shopping for accessories)" "Sorry, today's not so good." "I'm falling behind in my studies for cram school." "I see." "Don't you think you've been working yourself too hard, lately?" "No, I don't think so." "Later, Miyu." "Oh, okay." "Is Aya still stressing about Otohata?" "Probably." "I'm kind of worried." "Well, I guess we'll look for a good time and talk to her." "Yeah..." "Miss Kotobuki." "Who're you?" "I'm Hiromi Ryuzaki, the captain of the tennis team." "What's the tennis club want with me?" "Please, Miss Kotobuki, take my place in next Sunday's match!" "Huh?" "You've got tremendous reflexes!" "I'm sure you'll be able to win against her!" "Her?" "Honda of the Ikebukuro Girls' Academy!" "Ikebukuro Girls' Academy..." "Who's that?" "I'm the captain of the prestigious Hounan High School's tennis team, and I couldn't win a single set against her in the summer tournament." "She's a formidable opponent!" "Please!" "I want you to get revenge!" "Why do I gotta get revenge for you?" "That's zero-mean." "(Zero-Mean = Meaningless)" "Of course, I would've wanted revenge for myself if I could." "And I did hard training for that." "But with this foot..." "What happened?" "This morning, during practice..." "But in that case, why don't you pick a substitute from the team?" "Unfortunately, even our top players can't possibly play on her level." "Miss Kotobuki, you're the only one who could truly replace me!" "Please!" "On our honor as the prestigious Hounan High School tennis club, we just can't lose two tournaments in a row!" "I understand the situation, but I've got a lot going on and I'm busy, too." "Sorry, but go find someone else." "Miss Kotobuki..." "Alright, if you win, you can eat all the takoyaki you want!" "What?" "!" "For real?" "!" "(Reference Books)" "(Math I)" "Miss Hoshino." "Katase." "What a coincidence." "What's wrong?" "You were sighing." "The national mock exam results were released today..." "If my results keep dropping at this rate," "I couldn't possibly hope to get into a Big Six school." "I don't know what my parents will say." "Maybe you're panicking because you don't have anyone to study with." "You always study alone, right?" "Yeah." "You want me to tell you how to get out of a slump?" "What?" "The key is to start by solving the problem right in front of you." "I'll help you." "Help me?" "Let's go study together right now." "Miss Hoshino, I think on the math quiz next week, this area will be the focus." "What do you think?" "What's wrong?" "What?" "No, it's nothing." "Could it be you have other worries besides studying?" "What?" "Is it about that boyfriend of yours?" "I'm sorry." "And you've gone to all this trouble to study with me..." "I don't mind, but you seem troubled, so..." "I'm all right." "Don't mind me." "Thank you for today." "Oh, no, thank you." "I'll call you later." "Bye." "Goodbye." "Hello." "Did you talk with Miss Hoshino?" "Huh?" "Because she said she wanted to talk to you." "You're the guy who was with Aya at the culture fest..." "Oh, pardon." "I'm Katase." "Miss Hoshino's been coming to me for advice concerning you." "She was saying she wants to break up with you, so I advised her against it, saying she shouldn't grow reckless." "Why don't you be nicer to her?" "Or do you plan to break up with her?" "Seriously, how do you feel about her?" "Did Aya put you up to this?" "No." "I just couldn't let things lie, seeing her troubled like that." "If she really wants to talk to me," "I'm sure she'll come talk to me herself." "Just ignore her." "Well..." "Sorry to have disturbed you." "Brother!" "Over here!" "Oh?" "Isn't Aya here?" "She said she has to study again today." "What about Ototchi?" "Rei's got work." "Man, and here I thought this would be a chance for them to see each other." "Hey, here's Ran-pyon!" "What?" "!" "Ran!" "Good luck, Ran!" "Good luck, Ran-pyon!" "Yeah, just leave it to me!" "But why did Ran end up pinch hitting for the tennis club?" "She just got hooked on the promise of all the takoyaki she could eat." "I see, so that's it." "(Kazuki Katase)" "Yes, this is Hoshino." "Okay, got it." "I'll be waiting." "Oh, Otohata!" "What do you want?" "You stopped me only to say nothing?" "What's the big idea?" "That guy Katase came to see me." "What?" "Why would Katase..." "I don't really care, but if you've got something to say, why don't you say it to my face?" "Why don't you say anything?" "I'm sorry." "If there's nothing you want to talk about, I'm going." "What's wrong, Miss Hoshino?" "Did something happen?" "I'm sorry." "I guess what I did was meddlesome." "That's not true..." "You seemed troubled, so I was hoping it might help a little, but..." "No, it's not like it's your fault." "This might sound harsh to you, but maybe he's not suited for you, after all." "Even when I talked to him about you, he acted like he didn't care." "He was at work and maybe he was busy, but what guy tells people to ignore his own girlfriend?" "Is that what Otohata said?" "That you should ignore me?" "Takoyaki serve!" "Game and set!" "Match won by Kotobuki!" "Alright!" "Easy win!" "You're really something, Ran!" "Piece of cake!" "The ball looks like takoyaki to me." "Next up, it's finally the last match, with the Ikebukuro girl." "Want another one?" "You sure are thoughtful, Second Place!" "That reminds me, Second Place." "Where's Mami-rin?" "She's got something going on today, so we're meeting up in the evening." "Thanks to that, I get to hang out with Ran for once!" "Okay, Ran." "Good luck with this match, too." "I hope you win!" "Win this one, too!" "Okay, Ran." "Good luck with this match, too." "I hope you win!" "Good luck with this match, too." "W-What's Kotobuki doing here?" "And Yuya's here, too?" "!" "W-What is the matter, Miss Honda?" "Oh, nothing at all." "My eyes met with Miss Honda's eyes!" "What a brilliant smile!" "My heart is pounding!" "If Kotobuki sees me like this..." "What the hell?" "I had no idea you went to such a rich girl school!" "The Bukuro gal's a debutante!" "Miss Honda, what is a "gal"?" "What is she talking about?" "Miss Honda!" "Damn it, what's a stupid gal like her doing playing tennis?" "!" "And now, announcing the final matchup!" "Anyway, I gotta make sure they don't find out." "And now, announcing the final matchup!" "Miss Honda from the lkebukuro Girls' Academy..." "versus Miss Kotobuki of Hounan High School!" "W-What?" "!" "G-Good luck to us both." "I wish us both luck." "Is that really the formidable opponent who beat Miss Ryuzaki?" "She looks like a bank robber." "It's mysterious." "What could have gotten into Miss Honda?" "She must have some deep thoughts behind this." "Once in a while, she does things no ordinary person would think of, like wear strange extensions." "Kotobuki, I never thought we'd have such an encounter." "This is perfect." "I'll show you that the true number one gal is me!" "Takoyaki!" "Lethal High Jump Takoyaki Smash!" "Nailed it." "Damn you, Kotobuki!" "Woohoo!" "It's majorly yummy!" "(Takoyaki Place)" "Thank you, Miss Kotobuki!" "Keep eating all you want!" "Damn it, it pisses me off!" "If I hadn't been in disguise, there's no way I would've lost!" "If you are so vexed now, you could very well have competed undisguised." "I had no choice." "Being mocked by Kotobuki wouldn't be a big deal, but Yuya's the one person I don't want finding out that I'm the daughter of the Honda combine yet." "But in time..." "I know." "I know, but..." "Man, I feel sluggish." "Oh, Ran." "I know it was her treat, but I can't believe you ate 200 pieces of takoyaki." "Say, Aya, is your studying going well?" "Yup." "That's great and all, but it's bad for you if you don't have fun once in a while." "You wanna go karaoke today, since it's been a while?" "Sorry, I already have plans for today." "Miss Hoshino." "Sorry, I'll be right back." "Morning." "Morning." "Is that the guy that helped prep the culture fest?" "Yeah." "I saw him with Aya during the camp fire, too." "What?" "!" "For real?" "Yeah." "As best friends, we can't just overlook this!" "Oh, they're looking at a reference book together." "What're you doing?" "Do you know the guy next to Aya?" "Huh?" "Oh, the GL guy from Class 3." "What?" "A GL guy?" "!" "Lemme see, too!" "Rie, you idiot!" "Don't push!" "H-Heavy..." "Oh, it's Katase!" "When'd Aya snag him?" "!" "Hey, I said don't push!" "Ow ow ow ow..." "A-Are you all right?" "What are you doing?" "Y-Yo, Aya, we were sorta wondering who the guy next to you is." "Oh, let me introduce you." "This is Katase from Class 3." "Hello." "He's helping me catch up on my studies." "Woohoo!" "Could that mean that you're getting him to do your homework, too?" "!" "Oh, Ran, stop it." "Katase is seriously helping me with my studies." "Okay, okay, so sorry." "Wow, a new boyfriend for Aya-ppe, huh?" "I don't see anything wrong with that." "Right?" "Right?" "And it looks like she's starting to cheer up thanks to this Katase guy." "I wonder if it's really okay this way..." "I mean, Aya and Otohata haven't conclusively broken up." "Watching Aya," "I get the feeling she's only trying to avoid the issue of Otohata." "Well, Aya does get swept along pretty easily." "And that Katase guy definitely has a thing for Aya." "Oh, Ototchi sighted!" "Hey, Ototchi!" "Huh." "So, she's found a boyfriend?" "You're fine with that?" "!" "If that's what she wants to do, I don't see anything wrong with it." "What?" "!" "I can't just let you get away with saying that!" "And this way, I won't be constrained." "Hey, what do you mean by being constrained?" "I don't think Aya's ever constrained you in any way." "She's always tried not to be a burden on you and she's even held back stuff she wanted to say." "I know." "That's why it's a burden." "Well, I've got work." "Man, I don't get him." "Ototchi really is the lone wolf type." "I say Aya really would be better off breaking up with Ototchi." "Shall we wrap things up for today?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Were you thinking about him?" "I want to see him." "I want to talk to him properly one more time." "(Rei Otohata)" "I'll go buy something to drink." "(Rei Otohata)" "(No Missed Calls)" "Otohata..." "Katase..." "Why?" "Did Miss Hoshino come by?" "No." "I see." "She suddenly disappeared, so I thought she might have come here." "Aren't you worried?" "She's not a kid." "What's that supposed to mean?" "!" "You should treat Miss Hoshino with more consideration!" "Can't you tell how much she cares about you?" "!" "What's the deal with you?" "Nevermind me!" "I'm talking about you and Miss Hoshino!" "I'm me and Aya's Aya." "Can't you tell that it's that kind of attitude that's hurting her?" "!" "That's enough!" "Miss Hoshino..." "Katase, that's enough." "Miss Hoshino..." "I'm sorry." "I'm being meddlesome again..." "Oh, Miss Hoshino!" "Wait, Miss Hoshino!" "Please, leave me alone." "No!" "I've always watched you." "Intellectual and ladylike..." "You've always been my ideal girl." "So, I couldn't leave you alone when I saw you being so down." "I'm sorry..." "If I hadn't done those uncalled for things..." "I..." "I did it for your sake..." "I wouldn't hurt you and I'd always be near you." "Won't you go out with me?" "Katase..." "Katase!" "I'm sorry, did you wait?" "It sorta looks like Aya's gotten over it." "I just hope that smile's the real thing." "No prob, no prob." "There's no point in us worrying about it any more." "If that's what Aya's decided for herself, then I think it's fine." "Yeah..." "I hate it, you're always laughing Daikirai anata itsumo waratte ite" "And so strong and cute and popular Tsuyokute kawaikute ninki-mono de" "I hate it, I'm so dull and slow Daikirai watashi guzu de noroma de" "And no one needs me..."
