"Good morning." "good morning." "Good." "what are you doing?" "I think I found a shortcut to school." "I might be able to get to school in record time." "don't you?" "I'm going now!" "What kind of shortcut is that?" "!" "You're pretty good." "Hanazono Hikari-san." "Who are you?" "I'm..." "A Takishima maniac?" "No." "Takishima Group?" "My name is Ogata Aoi." "Takishima?" "I think he'll be here soon." "Really?" "it must be hard coming all the way from London just because Takishima's grandfather wanted you to observe him." "The president's orders are absolute." "myself." "Because you're a maniac?" "No." "I hold him in high regard." "I don't really understand." "Kei-sama and I share a deep bond." "I would do anything for Kei-sama." "I feel that is my obligation to him." "I like how you think!" "I'll do anything to help!" "I'll be counting on you." "I have to record how much Takishima enjoys school life... right?" "Correct." "That's easy then." "Takishima always looks very happy at school." "Really?" "Yep!" "I'll be sure to record those moments!" "commencing operation." "I'm counting on you." "Takishima-sama!" "Good morning!" "Beautiful day to you!" "Look at how popular Takishima is." "He's loved by everyone." "Seems that way." "Good morning." "good morning." "Hanazono-san!" "Good morning!" "Beautiful day to you!" "What's that?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "This?" "I thought that it wouldn't stand out." "but it really bothers me." "you know?" "Do you know of it?" "No." "I've never seen it before." "I thought it was pretty popular..." "I don't think it's popular though." "What did you say?" "did you just laugh?" "I'm going to laugh now." "this world is huge." "right?" "you've always had strange tastes anyway." "there would be no end to it." "I guess that's right..." "I managed to trick him somehow." "It doesn't feel like you tricked him to me." "Don't sweat the small stuff!" "this is where the S.A. normally spends their time." "I see." "It's a pretty splendid greenhouse." "isn't it?" "Hikari." "Akira." "I just finished preparing the tea." "I wanted to try making some new confectioneries today." "I made some donuts." "they look delicious!" "Don't they?" "what's that?" "What a strange looking doll." "Really?" "I thought it was pretty cute." "Don't laugh!" "she brought her kids too." "There's one here as well." "he's gotten quite attached to you." "do something about this." "Morning folks." "Welcome to Yamamoto Megumi's recital." "there now." "Don't be so scared." "Megumi's singing isn't so bad if you listen from afar." "Jun and I jointly developed this volume control machine!" "Couldn't you have made it look better?" "I didn't know you were good at science..." "I'm not." "But I'm fifth in the school;" "Jun is third." "I just thought that it'd work out somehow." "Tadashi!" "Stop it!" "You're embarrassing me." "Megumi-san." "Be my guest." "What the hell just...?" "There's no success before failure!" "I thought your voice sounded better than usual today." "Takishima?" "Yeah." "we usually eat out here." "I see." "Aoi-san?" "that's okay." "Please show me a little more." "I see." "This morning's donuts were a bit of a failure." "now it's time for today's real main course:" "Toudou Akira's special variety sandwiches!" "Bon appétit!" "It's really delicious!" "Hikari." "don't just stuff yourself." "Tell me what you think." "sorry." "The stuff you make is really delicious." "I just get completely absorbed in eating it." "okay?" "Since I'm curious... it's good." "Your heart hasn't changed!" "A rare explosion!" "I was faster." "I was faster." "Takishima!" "I don't mind." "eh?" "Yes!" "This is actually my specialty." "Miss Rank Two." "What did you say?" "The sandwich is mine." "So that's what it looks like?" "All right!" "Jigsaw puzzles are a piece of cake if you collect the edges first." "you're amazing." "All right!" "The very last piece..." "Takishima." "What are you doing?" "I'm just claiming my prize after winning." "What the...?" "!" "I don't believe this..." "Aoi-san." "right?" "that's plenty." "Really?" "Thank goodness." "I now fully understand what kind of school life Kei-sama leads." "I will have Kei-sama transfered to a school in London." "What are you saying?" "right?" "I can." "I'm following the president's instructions." "I've been instructed to transfer Kei-sama to a school in London if I found Hakusen Academy High School unfit for him." "What about Takishima's wishes?" "His wishes have nothing to do with it." "There's only one option when answering the president: "Yes"." "What the hell is that?" "Quit joking around!" "Takishima will not transfer!" "Why not?" "That's because..." "Because Takishima and I are rivals!" "The difference in status between you and Kei-sama is too great." "Status?" "What are you talking about?" "Status has nothing to do with competition." "What's needed is a fighting spirit and hard work!" "Very well then." "Will you accompany me for a while?" "Why?" "Have you become frightened of me?" "I have not!" "Huh?" "Wasn't that Hikari and...?" "Yes?" "You perverted animal!" "is this Akira?" "I'm hanging up." "Wait!" "What do you want?" "Don't act like you don't know!" "Men like you...!" "I don't quite follow." "didn't you?" "!" "I did not." "But the person driving her was Ogata Aoi!" "Aoi is in Japan?" "You didn't know?" "I'm hanging up." "Wait!" "Is there something here?" "what's here?" "Welcome." "How may I help you today?" "but can you please tell me the name of your company's director?" "Yes." "The director is Takishima Kei." "What?" "The president left the administration of this company to Kei-sama." "The director is Takishima Kei." "Yes." "It's Takishima Kei." "The performance of the three companies have tripled ever since Kei-sama took over the administration." "Kei-sama will be the person to carry the Takishima Group into the future." "Do you understand now?" "isn't he?" "!" "He attends school and manages the companies at the same time." "I have to start something too!" "It wouldn't be fun if there was a handicap." "I'm going to face it head-on and maybe find a job." "If he's not here then is he at the villa?" "Where is this place?" "My villa." "it's pretty splendid." "Over here please." "Is there something there?" "I'd like you to see Kei-sama's status." "Takishima's?" "What for?" "So that you'd understand the meaning of status." "status doesn't matter." "Oh man..." "I think there's an accident up ahead." "It looks like it'll take a while to get past it." "It's normally quite empty though." "What a spacious room." "Then..." "This is a photo of Kei-sama at age six when he won the World Arithmetic Championships." "Ah." "But why is he wearing a turban?" "Because it was held in India that year." "I see." "Takishima does have that playful side to him." "Yes." "He said that he might as well do it since he was in India this time and all." "But that's not what I wanted to talk about." "Really?" "Sorry." "This is the World Memory Olympics." "this was held in China?" "This is the Debate World Cup." "right?" "Domino World Competition." "huh?" "Handstand Decathlon Champion Competition." "right?" "That's not my point." "Am I wrong?" "Kei-sama possessed world-class talent." "That's great." "I have to work hard as well." "Why Kei-sama?" "Why are you so fixated on competing with Kei-sama?" "What is he to you?" "Well..." "Takishima is..." "That's right." "He's an important friend from the S.A." "And a rival whom I want to beat at all costs." "correct?" "what about you?" "I'm counting on you." "What was that?" "!" "That's enough." "Please go home." "I'll take you home." "you're dropping the idea of making him transfer?" "What are you saying?" "I will have Kei transferred." "Why?" "Isn't Takishima enjoying life at Hakusen Academy?" "didn't you?" "Kei-sama should not be attending such a worthless place!" "Do you still not understand?" "I'm telling you that the level of the S.A. and the school is far too low for Kei-sama." "How can you say "low"?" "How can you classify people as "high" or "low"?" "Don't call my precious friends "low"!" "please prove it to me." "Prove?" "Can you land a single blow on me?" "then it'd mean that you have no right to compete with Kei-sama." "You won't be able to call yourself his rival." "Is that all you're made of?" "Not even a scratch." "It's pointless to continue." "Shut up!" "You live in a different world from Kei-sama." "ability and strength too." "You're no match for him." "please stay away from him." "What's this?" "What is this?" "I stand no chance." "I can't even break free." "What is this?" "No." "I don't want to lose to someone other than you now." "Takishima!" "Chasing something you can't match will only result in heartbreak." "Who?" "!" "Who?" "!" "Who's causing Hikari heartbreak?" "!" "Takishima!" "Then..." "Takishima..." "What is it?" "right?" "I don't know what Aoi told you but I'll be at Hakusen Academy until graduation." "Thank goodness." "It's weird." "my chest gets heavy and I feel helpless." "I see." "It sounds as if you love me." "Romantically." "What's with that face?" "Like that could be true!" "Don't underestimate your rival!" "Who would fall in love with you?" "!" "Idiot!" "What is this hazy feeling?" "Oui!" "It's the celeb Tadashi!" "Wearing sunglasses doesn't make you any different from normal"?" "Non!" "Non!" "Non!" "You mustn't judge everything by outward appearances!" "Bonjour." "Je t'aime. (gibberish French)" "Celeb!" "See you next week!"
