"So long, good work." "Good job!" "So long." "Let's go out drinking today." "I saw you." "You and Riko-chan at that place near the training camp." "I... trust you." "I trust you." ""Natsuki"" "Yes?" "Naoki?" "It's me." "It's been awhile." ""Lover's Corner"" "I'll wait." "Until you do come to love me." "I'm really happy." "I got to see you today, too." "Shirokawa-san!" "Yes!" "Can you come in for a shift on Monday?" "We don't have enough people that day." "Monday...?" "Yes." "That'll be fine." "Really?" "Ah, thank goodness." " Then, I'll be counting on you." " Yes." "Well, whatever." "Head Coach Kawasaki 1 e-mail" "You're leaving now?" "Yeah." "I'm leaving." "It's probably... next Monday, isn't it?" "Eh?" "Truth is, I had hoped to give you this the other day at your home." "A present, for your birthday." "Ah." "My birthday?" "How did you...?" "You use the number "0824" in your e-mail address." "Ah, that's right." "But..." "If you take it, it'd be a help since it's just that much less luggage for me." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "I don't think it'll cover it while I'm over there but, when I get back, you'll be the first one I come see." "So long." "I'll be going." "Take care." "Then, you couldn't tell Kawasaki-san?" "No." "I told him honestly." "And then his parents showed up by chance and said," ""Please take care of Tomoya" to me." "Eh?" "!" "What's that development?" "Yeah." "Then, various things happened..." "And I kissed Kamiya-kun." "Eh?" "Ahh..." "Why did I have to go and do that?" "Wai..." "Wait just a minute." "Too much is going on." "My head can't follow." "Yeah." "I'm the same way." "Just recently you didn't even have a boyfriend, just friends, so why are you the one they're all concentrating their love on?" "Them?" "Ah." "But that might be so." "Even though there was nothing for me these last 2 years." "I wonder how long I'll be in this Love Mode?" "And?" "How about the guy?" "What was Kamiya-kun's reaction?" "Yeah." "Since even I was surprised at myself, I ran away right afterwards." "Eh?" "!" "You ran away?" "!" "What can I say?" "But, I'm contemplating it a lot now." "It's like I'm not able to control myself anymore." "I'm stunned." "Even so, I'm envious." "I'd love to be able to say those words someday." "Looks like, "It's impossible for me to control my Love Mode."" "It's cause I live a life that's a lump of reason." "You do?" "I do!" "I'm super careful not to get in trouble." "That's why I only go so far as dating." "But you could say it's cause I can't get myself to move myself past that point." "That's why I like older men who are good at leading..." "That's nothing but a good love story, though." "Aren't you going to open it?" "That." "Thanks." "No." "I wondered if I should send them to you, but then I thought of this." "This was good." "I enjoyed it." "Ah." "Thank you." "So long." "Say." "We..." "Could we be friends?" "That'd be impossible." "I don't think we could be friends our entire lives." "Ah." "I see." "Lonely, isn't it?" "You and him getting along okay?" "Yeah." "OK." "What could it be?" "There..." "Eh?" "Another box?" "I'm so happy to be getting Naoki's rice omelets." "I love 'em, too." "Just a little longer and it'll be the season where he can't make them any longer." "That's true." "Fall's almost here, isn't it?" "Ah, will I just be a bench warmer this Season, too?" "I'm a little depressed about the new semester, too." "The boyfriend I broke up with the other day'll be in the same class, as well." "Eh?" "Yuri-chan, you had a boyfriend?" "Ah." "That's right, Shuji-kun." "I have a little favor to ask, but it's a secret from my brother." "Of me?" "Yeah." "A friend of mine is a fan of the ARCS." "Yeah." "Just once, could you get a Go-kon together with us?" "Eh?" "!" "A Go-kon?" "!" "Shh!" "Eh?" "I'm home!" "Ah." "Welcome back!" "Excuse my disturbance." "Ala, Shuji-kun." "You've come?" "Ah, what a wonderful odor." "Ah, I'm about to call for it." "Eh!" "Thank you, I'm so happy!" "Eh?" "It's been awhile since you were here." "Yes." "Since I'm a freeloader, the girls told me," ""We're gonna spend all night talking about our love troubles, so get out."" "Love troubles?" "Ala, well..." "And?" "And, I had to stay somewhere..." "It's okay." "Eh?" "Another box." "And yet another box." "What is this?" "A Matryoshka doll?" "(Russian nested set of dolls)" "It's gotten this small." "Could it be..." "Yeah." "It's an engagement ring!" "Whaa!" "It's incredibly cute." "It looks so expensive." "Say, let me try it on just once..." "Wait..." "No, you can't touch it." "I can't accept this." "What a waste!" "Let me take a picture, a picture." "Hey!" "Stop it!" "By the way, what am I gonna do?" "I didn't think there'd be something so important like this in there." "The box was light, but the contents were heavy." "You're so beautiful." "Say cheese." "That was incredible, wasn't it?" "That game you had the other day with Kawasaki-san." "Yeah." "Back when I was in middle school," "I was always reading about Kawasaki-san from the cover of "Monthly Basketball."" "Me, too." "I thought it was so wonderful I got to play basketball with such a wonderful person." "What's more, he has a manly character and is cool." "Riko-san must be one very happy person, huh?" "By 'Riko-san,' do you mean Shirakawa-san?" "That's right." "Shirakawa Riko-san and Ebina Mai-san." "Why do you get to call her by name?" "What am I gonna do?" "What should I do?" "By the way Riko, would it be okay if I said one more surprising thing?" "Eh?" "!" "What is it?" "!" "Could it be you were invited out by Utsunomiya-san for a second date?" "Actually, he did invite me." "But, that's not the main thing." "They've broken up." "Kamiya-kun and his girlfriend." "No way..." "Huh?" "Riko-san and Mai-san?" "Ah, they spotted us." "Ah, they disappeared." "That reminds me, that's Riko-san's room." "Is that right." "Well, Riko-chan." "What are you gonna do?" "Heiwa Fansubs Presents:" ""Buzzer Beat" "Hero on the Edge"" "Episode 7: "Don't Leave Me"" "Naoki!" "It's been awhile." "Mishima-san!" "It has been awhile." " Good morning!" " Morning!" "Good morning." "Yo." "Ah." "Kawasaki-san won't be here as of today." "Please don't make it sound so lonely like that." "That's right." "Please think about girls, too, once in awhile." "Ah, that's right." "Everyone, please listen to me." "Huh?" "Um..." "Do any of you have some time tomorrow?" "I was asked to put together a Go-kon." "A Go-kon?" "We don't have time for that during the Season." "That's true..." "I wonder what I'll do?" "Ah, that's right." "I'm seeing Ebina-san tomorrow." "Eh?" "You and Mai-san?" "Eh?" "Utsu-san's seeing a woman at last?" "Ahh!" "That's wonderful, isn't it?" "It was Kawasaki-san..." "Yes." "He told me, "A person alone becomes stronger when they're with someone."" "And I thought, "He's right."" "Seriously?" "And, it's tomorrow?" "Tomorrow." "Okay, everyone!" "Please listen up!" "Whoa!" "Ehh..." "At the request of the Head Coach, starting today Mishima-san will be your Assistant Coach for a little while." "Ehh..." "Kawasaki-san left me with a big menu for you guys." "Let's do our best together again!" "Okay!" "If you would, please." "Okay!" "Let's do some running today." "Be careful about your stretches." "Well then, everyone, we're here!" "Yes." "Whaa!" "They're from that clinic the other day." "Oh." "They're here on a tour." "They're happy about it." "Player Kamiya, good luck!" "Player Moriguchi, do your best!" "Saga-san!" "Some people come every year." "Ehh..." "It'd be great if our cute fans increased, wouldn't it?" "Okay, gotta work hard." "Okay, first off let's do some square passing." "Yo!" "Well then, I'll come back during the break." "Yes." "Thank you very much." "Please take care of things." "It appears it is a free loose body of the joint." "You can see the free loose body here." "This is catching in your joint from time to time and causing you pain, isn't it?" "Well, there wouldn't be a problem removing it with an operation." "An operation..." ""I trust you."" ""I trust you."" "What was that?" "Why are you running away?" "Are you okay?" "Of course I'd catch up to you." "I'm an athlete, after all." "Ah, that's right." "Weirdo." "Ah, thanks." " Masaki!" " Hey!" "By the way, you didn't have to run off like that particularly." "Yeah." "It was because of you..." "Kawasaki-san's gone to Boston, hasn't he?" "Kawasaki-san retired as an active player, and became Head Coach during the first year I joined up." "And, whenever I felt down or lost confidence in being a pro," "Kawasaki-san was always there to encourage me." "The Season is close, so I need to focus more on basketball." "That's why..." "Let's forget about the other day." "I just always want to be friends with Shirakawa-san." "Yeah." "That's true, isn't it?" "Yeah." "I think that's true." "But..." "But it's impossible for me to be just friends with you anymore." "You say to forget about you;" "that it's okay to just be friends..." "I tried to think that way over and over but I just can't." "I..." "I guess about you, I..." "Then let's not see each other anymore." "I'm sorry." "But, I..." "I hate you." "Why then?" "Why did you chase after me like that?" "!" "Why then?" "Why were you always showing me your halfway kindnesses for?" "Fool." "I hate you." "I hate you already!" "Then what the hell am I supposed to do?" "Geez." "Kinda scary." "Say..." "Naoki?" "Are you okay?" "Can I help?" "I'm fine." "I'll call when it's ready, so wait." "Yes." "Eh?" "You aren't going to have the operation?" "Yeah." "Well, I asked around at various hospitals, but they all said it would take about 3 months for the operation." "Because of the rehab, I wouldn't be able to exercise, so I couldn't make it for the Season." "Yeah." "But, if you leave it like that, won't the pain come back?" "Well, I will have the pain." "I'll just have to leave it like it is for this Season." "Say, Naoki." "You don't have to let it irritate you right now." "Okay?" "After all, the sooner you get it fixed, the better it'll be for your future." "But, if I don't do my best this Season," "I won't have a future anymore." "I'd probably be discharged." "And I doubt I'd get offers from any other teams, either." "I realized that back when they renewed my contract." "So I have no choice but to endure it the way I am now and continue to play basketball as best I can." "Yeah." ""That's right."" ""The only thing I can do with all my might right now is basketball."" ""I hate you"" "Work." "A Teardrop Shot is a variety of lay-up shot." "Both a short player and a taller player agree beforehand to match up and with the taller one's timing, and at one tempo they arch the shot like this..." "I'm sorry." "This is all I'm talking about." "No, no!" "I have this teardrop shaped earring, so it's really an honor to hear you talking about this." "I'm sorry." "Ah..." "Ah, I know." "Um." "They call a violin player a violinist, right?" "So what do they call someone who plays the flute?" "Eh?" "Ah." "A flute player is a flutist." "So there's pianist, violinist and flutist." "I see." "So a flutist would seem to be the most delicious, wouldn't it?" "(He's mixing "flutist" with "fruits")" "Wouldn't it!" "?" "Fruits are a sweet, aren't they?" "Um..." "You know..." "I'm sorry." "I'm not really good at conversations." "No, you're wrong." "I'm the one who's bad at it." "Thinking that, I bought these earlier at my part-time job." "Here." ""Basketball Rule Book"" "These are..." "You bought all these?" "Yes." "It's better if I know as much as possible about basketball." "That way maybe our conversations would become more fun." "Lay-up, lay-up." "Lay-up." "Let's get along together!" "If you would please!" "Yeah!" "Huh?" "Then, let's introduce ourselves." "Ah, let's." "Eh, I'm Kasukabe!" "I'm the Manager of ARCS." "Nice to meet all of you!" "Yeah!" "Eh, I'm Matsuyama!" "I'm a trainer!" "Yeah!" "Eh?" "What's a trainer?" "What they call a trainer is someone who manages the player's physical condition..." "Um, I touch their bodies..." "Yes, yes." "And, I'm the player, Hatano Shuji." "Nice to meet you!" "Shuji-chan!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Shuji-chan!" "Okay!" "Then, let's have a toast!" "A toast!" "Yeah!" "Kanpai!" "What are you doing?" "Mai-san!" "?" "It's Utsunomiya-san!" "Ah..." "Long time no see." "What are you doing at a place like this?" "Ala?" "They left." "Hey, Shuji-kun." "You're only paying 10,000 a month ($100) to stay with us, so isn't this more than the social status a freeloader like you can afford?" "Well, I was asked for this as a favor." "It's okay, isn't it?" "Look, all we're having are juices." "That's true, it is okay." "But, after saying you were gonna quit cause you lacked confidence, here you are hanging around with high school girls." "That sort of escape from reality is offensive." "I'm sorry." "Who is this person, Shuji-kun?" "This person is..." "Me?" "I am an adult woman." "I can't make a living just making music, so I chase after my dream while working at a part-time job and, against the waves of society," "I'm always telling myself to try my hardest, so now I'm a 24 year old member of society." "What about it?" "24 years old?" "Same age as my older brother." "That makes her an obasan." "(middle-aged woman)" "What was that?" "!" "Now, now, now..." "Look, we're here to have fun, right?" "The day will come a few years from now when those uniforms you're in now will become cosplay for you." "No way!" "Who is this person!" "?" "She's really pissing me off!" "Hmmf!" "Ah." "Ebina-san." "Ah!" "I'm sorry." "Shall we go?" "We shouldn't bother their Go-kon." "Kasukabe-san." "Ah, yes, yes..." "I'll be counting on you not to cause a scandal for the team." "Ah, roger that." "Shuji, you either." "Ah, yes!" "Shall we go to the Game Center?" "Game Center?" "I got too angry." "Even Utsunomiya-san was shocked." "I'm home." "Welcome back." "Ala?" "Where's Shuji-kun today?" "Huh?" "I don't know anything about that kid." "Eh?" "Ah, I see." "Yeah." "More importantly, Riko." "What are you doing for your birthday?" "Since Kawasaki-san isn't here, should we throw a party here at the house?" "Eh?" "Are you sure?" "I'm happy." "Thanks." "There's one thing I need to hear." "Is it okay to invite Kamiya-kun?" "Hmm." "That's okay." "That's over already." "It's over?" "Yeah." "Totally over." "So, that's okay already." "Your Love Mode is over already?" "Yeah, it's over." "He said he doesn't want to see me again." "Besides, I hate him now already." "You hate him?" "Yeah." "Because I expressed my honest feelings to him." "And then, for him it was..." "How do I put it?" "This "I don't like you particularly, either" aura came out of him." "And then he said," ""Kawasaki-san's a good person." "We're friends."" "Don't you think that's a terrible way of running away from it?" "I do!" "I really do think that!" "Shuji-kun's much the same." "Escaping from reality by having fun with some high school girls." "High school girls?" "It's because of that he never gets any good at basketball." "Ah." "It's true that's how it might be." "A habit of sports boys..." "How do you put it?" "Lacking in aggressiveness." "Besides, how can they compare to an adult male?" "Now that's super aggressive." "That's true." "Like I thought, Kawasaki-san's the wonderful one." "Mama, what are you doing?" "Shh!" "Yuri, what are YOU doing at a time like this?" "Well..." "I was hoping to get fixed up with a boyfriend, but it was a complete failure." "Eh?" "Ah." "It's Onii-chan." "I've worried since he's been so stoic lately." "Look, he's favoring the foot with the free loose body in it." "And Natsuki-san's not around either." "Huh?" "Ala?" "Huh?" "Well..." "I think someone was looking down at him from that window over there." "Where?" "Huh?" "Was it my imagination?" "Well, let's go home now." "Buy some ice cream along the way." "Yeah." "Yes, this is the General Affairs Division." "Kawasaki-san!" "?" "Thanks for your hard work." "How are things in Boston?" "Is that right?" "It must be tough." "Ah, yes." "The Chief Director?" "Please hold on a moment." ""Hold"" "Chief Director Ashikaga." "Kawasaki-san on line 3." "Oh, thanks." "Yes, hello?" "Yeah." "Hello?" "Ah, it's me." "Let's go out today." "Ah, today's impossible for me." "I have a dinner with the Chief Director and some people from the PBA." "Couldn't we do it another time?" "Huh?" "Another time's no good for me." "Today's best." "Don't say such unreasonable things." "This is my work, after all." "I'll call again when I get home." "Ah." "Good work." "Good work." "Ah, that's right." "The font on the home page was wrong." "I redid it, but please be careful." "Ah, I did it again." "I'm sorry." "Nanami-san." "Yes?" "Could you take a look at this?" "May I?" "Ah, this." "We're still considering this..." "Hello?" "Ah, Yoyogi-san?" "Eh?" "Tonight?" "Sure." "I think it might take a little while, but will that be okay?" "Yo, Naoki!" "One, two...!" "Yoi!" "Oh!" "It's been forever!" "It has!" "Oh, Naoki." "It's been rough for you, huh?" "What is this?" "Everyone else is in a suit." "I'm the only one who's still like a student." "Naoki, is a draft okay?" "Yeah, thank you." "How nice." "I don't get to play basketball at all anymore." "Me, either." "And when I do, it feels like I've put in a month at the Club Team." "It would." "After all, you all work with proper companies now." "That's true." "You're the only one of us making a living off of basketball." "Well, but, I was totally useless during the last Season." "Really?" "Cheer yourself up, you!" "Right?" "Here, here, here." "Oh, it's here!" "Well then, after a long time, to Bunkyo!" "(Bunkyo University)" "Bunkyo!" "University." "Yeah!" "Falcons!" "Yeah!" "This Season, with this being Kawasaki's 3rd year with the ARCS, it will be different." "Yeah." "How was the last training camp?" "Ah." "I can say they were quite good during their running..." "Geez, that was pitiful." "Eh?" "This isn't for you." "You and the violin." "It's true this isn't a concert hall." "However..." "That for even an instant in front of these listeners, you'd bring no thought or soul to your playing, it made me want to cover my ears at such a horrible performance." "Aren't you ashamed as a musician to be playing that way?" "!" "Never play again." "It's pitiful for both instrument and the listeners." "I'm very sorry." "Are you okay?" "Eh?" "Yeah." "He said such terrible things to you, I got a little worried." "I was sure you'd be drunk." "Ah." "Thank you very much." "But, what that customer said wasn't wrong at all." "So I was hating myself." "What you saw was embarrassing." "Thank you very much for being worried about me." "You're a violinist, aren't you?" "Yes." "Ah... no." "It was my dream, but I don't have the talent for it at all." "No." "It's wonderful having a dream." "You give performances at a place where no one listens and, even after hearing such terrible words, you still have the courage to keep chasing after your dream." "Quite the opposite, I think you're incredible." "You do?" "Yeah." "Because I never had such a big dream like that." "Even when you can't see your future..." "I'm envious that you're able to recklessly continue following your dream." "No." "It's just being reckless." "Ah, that's right." "Could we be friends?" "Eh?" "I think there's a connection in our meeting here and, truth is, I'd like to have someone like you to talk to once." "Is that right." "Well then..." "Ah, I'm so happy!" "What is your name?" "Shirakawa." "Ah." "Let's see..." "Recently, I haven't been able to see my future at all." "For example, say I got injured and couldn't play for a year." "Then, at those times I think, what would I do?" "That's why, when I see all of you here, working for proper companies," "I have a lot of respect for you." "Really?" "The number of people in basketball is over 600,000 but those who can go pro and make a living at it is just a tiny handful." "That's right." "Your former teammates here still cheer for you at basketball." "We look at you in pride." "Seriously?" "Yeah." "Seriously." "You might have cheered him up a little too much." "Still..." "I thought this when some schoolchildren came over to cheer us on." "Almost no basketball matches or news ever appears on TV." "Yeah." "Even with all that, to have children look at players like me and even long to be like me," "I think that's an incredibly important thing." "That's why..." "I want to work harder and make my dream sport of basketball come true!" "Yo!" "Sports players, artists and performers..." "It's your job to let them see your dream." "Okay." "I'm gonna seriously do my best!" "Yo!" "Okay!" "Kanpai!" "Yeah!" "Kanpai!" "Say?" "I went too far the other day." "I'm sorry." "No, that's okay." "What you said is what my Mom in the country would have told me." "There." "It's OK." "Thank goodness." "It's at times like this when having a man around is handy." "Really?" "Ow!" "Watch it." "Don't step on my hand." "It's an important part of my stock-in-trade." "I'm sorry." "Are you okay?" "Ah!" "Ow!" "I was already hurting, geez." "Get off." "Be a little more careful about falling." "Mai-san." "Yes." "Won't I do?" "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "Mai-san." "I..." "Get off me already!" "Geez." "Huh?" "I wasn't expecting such terrific stomach muscles." "I for Mai-san, I it seems I like you." "The other day, when you were doing your 'closed stance' thing, ...your gentleness and humor..." "When I saw you then, I somehow you could say I got excited." "Wait, what's this?" "What is this?" "I'm not accustomed to this sort of situation." "Whaa!" "I'll... do my best." "Right now I might be terribly unreliable, but..." "I'm still very young, so I'll do my best to become an even better adult and good man than Utsunomiya-san." "Just a minute." "Where's my rationality?" "I'm home." "Ah!" "I'm home." "Ah!" "Riko?" "!" "Ah." "I was about to leave." "Hang on a second!" "Just a minute!" "Don't worry." "It's okay, so continue." "I wasn't expecting this to happen." "But when I looked into his eyes and saw only honesty, you could say my feelings took an open stance." "It's okay." "Don't worry." "I can stay over somewhere." "Maybe at a manga cafe." "That's no good." "Because..." "Because a woman friend is better than a man, isn't she?" "But, you can't make anything happen without a man, right?" "Riko..." "Besides, I think Shuji-kun is a much better match for you than Utsunomiya-san." "Really?" "Yeah." "So long, I'm off." "I have to spend my birthday morning alone in a manga cafe, huh?" ""Never play again."" ""It's best if we don't see each other anymore."" "Hello?" "Mom..." "Huh?" "No, it's nothing." "This is my usual voice." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Yeah." "I just turned 24." "Yeah." "Mom." "Thank you for giving birth to me." "Yeah." "Somehow it's like you always have to be sending me money from home." "I'm really sorry." "But..." "I might not be able to do the violin anymore." "Hmm." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "I'm fine." "I'm home." "Welcome back." "You're still up." "It's after midnight already." "Yeah." "Just a little longer." "Ah." "Mom." "Huh?" "I'm sorry about a lot of things." "What "lots of things"?" "Ah." "Did you forget to put something in the laundry?" "Well, there's that, too." "Sorry for worrying you about lots of things." "I haven't been very filial about thinking about things." "Don't worry about it." "Look, I plan on living a good, long time." "Right?" "Look, I'm still really very young." "The bath water's probably cooled off." "Go reheat it." "I will." ""Shirakawa-san"" ""Shirakawa-san"" "Naoki-san." "Huh?" "There's something I'd like to get your opinion on." "Ala?" "What's this?" "Utsu-san." "What is this?" "Ah, well, well, I was thinking I should expand my horizons a little." "This is flute music." "You're really serious about that girl, aren't you?" "Seriously?" "It feels that way, doesn't it?" "No." "Don't go exaggerating it too much." "Well, for now anyway." "That's enough." "Ahh!" "Yes, yes, yes, yes." "Oh, Shuji, Shuji." "Yes?" "How'd your Go-kon go?" "Ah, well, the Go-kon went pretty much as expected." "What did you want to talk about?" "Well, uh..." "Well, uh..." "Ah." "That'll be fine for some other time." "Then, I'll go out first." "Yes." "Yes." "If you would please." "Enough already, I said!" "What'll I do?" "What'll I do, what'll I do, what'll I do?" "I can't tell anyone Mai-san has the most wonderful belly button in the whole world." "Thank you very much." "Next customer, please." " Excuse me." " Yes?" "Where would your Cooking Corner be?" "I'll take you there." "This should be it." "Thank you very much." "I'll help you out." "If you would please." "That will be 1,800 yen." "Would you like a cover for it?" "No." "This will be fine." "One point is important." "Utsu-san!" "Screen!" "Moriguchi!" "Go for the rebound!" "The game, the game!" "Happy birthday to Riko-san!" "Whaa!" "Congratulations!" "Thanks." "You did it!" "Bang!" "Well, let's have a toast." "Yes." "Congrats on turning 24!" "Thanks." "Kanpai!" "Ah..." "We're already out of drinks." "I'll go buy some." "Ah, then I'll go." "Eh?" "That's okay." "I also want to buy some wine to go with the cheese." "Well, I'm worried about Mai-san being alone." "Ah, all right." "Then let's do it this way." "Huh?" "Go together." "Eh?" "We can't leave the leading lady alone like that." "It's okay, it's okay." "I'll be worried if Mai goes by herself." "And I'll worry what wine he'll select if we leave it to Shuji-kun." "And since I'm the leading lady, I want to take it easy." "Really?" "Yeah." "Well then, let's go." "Yes." "So long, we're off." "Have a nice time." " Wait, let me get my purse." " Yes." "There." "Then let's get going." "Yeah." "Where are you going?" "I have to be considerate." "At the end, I'm alone, huh?" "Hello?" "Hello." "This is Kamiya." "Happy..." "Birthday." "Hello?" "Ah, yes." "Um..." "Truth is, I thought of saying that in an e-mail." "But when I thought about it, I didn't have your address." "How did you know it's my birthday?" "Shuji told me."
