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?)
