Volume 1 Chapter 1
Mobile : [Alice, do you have someone whom you like?]...
Alice : ... [Of course I do!]
Alice : But... [I'm afraid I don't have the courage to confess to him...]
Alice : I'm so sleepy...It's morning now...what time is it?
Alice : Sis, Wake up --!
Mayura : You're very noisy!
Alice : Sis, it's past 7 o'clock!
Mayura : Umm...
Alice : Morning practice for the Archery Club will be starting in 30 minutes time!
Mayura : It's past 7 o'clock?
Mayura : Baka Alice, didn't I ask you to wake me up at 6:30a.m.?
Alice : But, I was burning midnight oil doing my homework...
Mayura : You must have been sending messages to your friend!
Alice : (Feeling guilty)
Mayura : I see, Mum, Alice is too engrossed with the mobile phone trend!
Mum : Mayura, why are you dressed like this?
Mayura : It's alright, anyway I'll be taking a shower! I'm not eating breakfast today!
Alice : (Geez, when was the last time you got out of bed by yourself!)
Mum : Gosh, Mayura's always so energetic, it's as if she doesn't have any worries
Alice : (That's right!)
Dad : Hmmm... ...
Alice : Um, Dad...
Alice : Can we talk... That thing, it's not possible again?
Dad : What thing?
Mum : Dear, it's about Alice wanting to own a pet!
Dad : Oh...
Dad : That thing, you'd better give up hope! Your sister is sensitive to animals, it's better not to keep them! Understand?
Mayura : [Running around in circles while trying to get ready for school]
Mayura : I'm off to school!
Mum : Okay, take care!
Alice : (Sis even put on makeup before going off!)
Alice : Mum, take a look at Sis!
Mum : Alice, you had better change and eat your breakfast!
Alice : [Everyone at home dotes on Sis.]
Alice : (All those talk about the youngest child being doted more on, all lies.)
Alice : (I spent so much time looking for a rabbit at the pet shop. All because of Sis...)
Alice : (Happened to noticed a commontion by the traffic road)
Passerby a : Hmm?
Passerby B : That is...
Alice : A little bunny! (Kawaii!)
Alice : (Huh, it's looking towards this direction.)
Alice : (!!)
Voice : (Don't get rid of it.)
Voice : (Baka! That's only an animal.)
Voice : (If only there was somebody to save it.)
Voice : (It's glowing... Must be the morning light.)
Voice : (Where's the owner?)
Voice : (Spare a thought for others.)
Voice : (If I don't save it, it'll die.)
Voice : (It's just a bunny, there's nothing I can do.)
Voice : (But it looks so pitiful...)
Voice : (To hell with it.)
Voice : (At such a place, it'll be terrible if it rushed off the road.)
Voice : (Pretend I didn't see, didn't see.)
Alice : (Huh...This is everybody's thoughts!)
Voice : (A barrier.)
Voice : (To hell with it.)
Alice : (NO!)
Alice : (No way, no way ---)
Alice : It's coming...
Alice : (So warm...)
Alice : (Smells nice...)
Kyou : Just in the nick of time...
Alice : Wakamiya-senpai?
Alice : You don't seem to be hurt!
Passerby : What was that light...
Passerby : People are driving so dangerously nowadays...
Passerby : What is it? Are you okay?
Kyou : Are you able to stand up? Seno.
Alice : Hai... ...
Alice : (This must be a joke!)
Alice : Senpai, I'm really grateful!
Alice : This is great, luckily little bunny wasn't hurt.
Kyou : You still rushed out when the traffic light turned red, and I wondered what had happened.
Kyou : What are you gonna do with this bunny?
Alice : Before I can find its owner, I would like to bring it home.
Alice : (This is great, so great, this is the first time I talked face-to-face with senpai!)
Kyou : Anyway, there were so many people, but only Seno rushed forward to save it.
Alice : I guess so, that's because I heard everyone talking sarcastically...
Kyou : At the traffic light junction? But nobody was talking!
Alice : Uh?
Alice : (That's strange, I heard it so clearly...)
Bunny : [The bunny bit Alice on her chin]
Alice : Ah...You're hungry? Sumimasen, I'd like to buy some carrots...
Alice : Senpai, I'm okay, you can go to school first!
Kyou : It's alright, I still have time.
Alice : (YES!)
Alice : (Senpai,)
Alice : There's a practice for the Archery Club this morning, right?
Kyou : No, not today.
Alice : Ah! Sis is so silly, she got the wrong time!
Alice : She must be alone in the training hall...
Kyou : Maybe! [Smiling]
Alice : (Senpai?)
Shopowner : Thank you, see you...
Alice : (!!) [The bunny ran off with a carrot in its mouth...]
Alice : Little bunny!
Alice : Wait...wait a second!
Kyou : ......
Shopowner : ......
Kyou : In that case... [Trying to sneak off as well...]
Shopowner : PAY UP!
Kyou : Seno?
Alice : It's gone... Little bunny...
Kyou : ......
Alice : ? (Alice noticed something lying on the pavement)
Alice : It's a bracelet...
Alice : (The gem on this bracelet looks just like the bunny's eyes.)
Alice : (Although I only owned for a split second, but why do I feel that I'll meet the bunny again...)
Alice : I got to talk to Wakamiya-senpai for the first time...
Kyou : [Flashback]Don't be too upset, Seno.
Alice : (The first time I saw "Wakamiya Kyou" senpai, was a month ago...)
Alice : (Because I was newly enrolled in the school, I went to observe Sis at the Archery Club, so smart looking!)
Alice : (From then on, I went to look for Sis in the name of observing the Archery Club,)
Alice : (That's why everyone knew me, and called me "Mayura Seno's little sister".)
Alice : (To see him, I tried everything...but yet can't join the Archery Club.)
Alice : Ouch!
Girl A : Sumimasen, Seno.
Girl B : Could you throw the shuttlecock back to us?
Alice : Ohishi.
Alice : (I don't like this person, she's proud and arrogant, I can't have good feelings towards here.)
Alice : Hai, here you go!
Oishi : Thanks!
Alice : Ah!
Girl : Did we hit it in the wrong direction? Sumimasen!
Oishi : I didn't hit it properly!
Alice : Ha... It's alright...
Girl : Is this okay?
Oishi : What does it matter? That silly face of hers doesn't say any angry words!
Oishi : Besides, she came to school with Wakamiya senpai!
Girl : What! Makes me feel sick...
Alice : Uh, Ohishi-san, could you please don't hit it off-course, okay...
Kyou : Hey, first year students, stop this bullying!
Girl : Wakamiya...senpai...
Mayura : Alice!
Alice : Sis.
Mayura : You're still here!
Mayura : 'Coz someone said it wasn't on purpose and yet still use this trick, so I came over for a look!
Mayura : Let me tell you, fooling around isn't allowed in groups!
Alice : (Okay, stop fighting!)
Mayura : If there's anything you want to talk, tell it to me.
Oishi : What's that!
Girl : Let's go.
Alice : (Because of my quiet character, I don't really get angry easily...)
Mayura : Hold on a second, Kyou! Is your left hand swollen?
Mayura : See, it's so red! You must have injured youself. Go to the First Aid room...
Kyou : It's nothing serious.
Alice : Injured... Could it be this morning...
Kyou : [Puts a finger to his lips to keep it a secret]
Alice : [Oops! Alice gasped.]
Mayura : This morning?
Kyou : It's nothing! Let's go, Mayura who remembered the wrong time and practice alone.
Mayura : Don't mention that thing again!
Mayura : Alice, you can go home first!
Passerby : Look, those two...
Passerby : "Mayura" called him "Kyou", they have such a wonderful relationship.
Passerby : Are they in the same class?
Passerby : Seno-san was chosen as the "School Flower" in last year's school festival.
Student : Ah, Mayura is gonna become Kyou's sooner or later.
Student : Ah, it's "Mayura's little sister".
Student : That little sister... she's nothing at all.
Alice : (I'm already used to it.)
Alice : (I'm forever known as "Mayura Seno's little sister"...)
Alice : (Although thanks to that little bunny, I had a chance to talk to senpai... ...)
Alice : What a beautiful gemstone...
Alice : (If only this bracelet can grant wishes.)
Mayura : Look, Alice.
Mayura : Aha, you're playing with your mobile phone again!
Alice : No I did not!
Mayura : Never mind, come and take a look at this!
Mayura : It's Kyou's birthday, which one do you think would be better?
Alice : Senpai's... birthday...?
Mayura : Mm, it's tomorrow! That's why I'm so vexed...
Alice : (I didn't even know...)
Mayura : Although a watch would be nice, but this is good too... ...
Mayura : Which one do you think Kyou would like?
Alice : Sis...
Alice : Do you like senpai?
Mayura : [Mayura smiled beautifully when Alice asked her this question]
Alice : (Sis, she looks so kawaii. She looks just like a flower in bloom when she smiles...)
Alice : I.. If it's me, I'll choose this.
Mayura : This! This is it! Alright! I'll choose this.
Alice : (There's no way I can compare myself to Sis.)
Kyou : Seno!
Alice : Huh?
Kyou : Could you come over for a minute?
Alice : Is there anything you want?
Kyou : It's nothing actually, that bunny yesterday, I did try looking for it at night, but there's no news.
Alice : I would like you to say it a little bit more simple... I'll try and work hard at idioms...
Kyou : I'll search more thoroughly, this is the best translation, what do you think?
Alice : Ah?
Kyou : While on my way home last night.. I keep searching until midnight, but I had to give up. It doesn't seem to be in this vicinity anymore.
Alice : MIDNIGHT!?
Alice : Wh... Why...
Kyou : That's because you look so down in the dumps. I hope to make you happy by looking for that bunny!
Kyou : I'll find it for sure, cheer up... that's it.
Alice : (Senpai... You're too gentle.)
Alice : (Why? I... ...)
Alice : Please wait a second!
Alice : Um... I...
Alice : (What's wrong? I just want to say my feelings out.)
Kyou : Hmm?
Alice : I like senpai.
Alice : Sen... senpai...
Alice : (Say "I like you"! Quick!)
Alice : I... ...
Mayura : Kyou!
Mayura : You're here!
Mayura : Eh? Alice is here too?
Mayura : What's wrong?
Alice : Sis... ...
Alice : Then... ...
Alice : Then... Wakamiya senpai...
Alice : Wishing you a Happy Birthday.
Kyou : Ah... thanks.
Alice : I have to get going.
Alice : [softly]Sis, Ganbatte.
Alice : Liar.
Mayura : Kyou... Happy 17th Birthday.
Mayura : Please accept this.
Alice : (I'm such a liar.)
Mayura : And, I also felt that...
Mayura : Kyou, I like you...
Alice : (Coward.)
Alice : ("Like"... ...A sentence with these two words, I don't even have the courage to tell him.)
Alice : (It's so near, if only I have courage.)
Alice : (I need courage...)
Voice : Baka...
Voice : You already... have the courage.
Alice : Huh?
Voice : You should know how to use "courage".
Alice : Ah!
Girl : That's right... I knew you'd come to me.
Girl : This is great, I've found you finally!
Alice : (What's... this?)
