Student :  Ah, look! Come over and have a look!
Student :  Wakamiya and Seno...
Student :  I guess this is it... Ha...Ah...
Alice :  (Ever since that day, Sis and Senpai, have been happily dating...)
Alice :  [Keying into her mobile phone]

Kyou :  Seno!
Alice :  Why didn't you been coming to the Archery Club for a visit lately?
Mayura :  Alice... ...
Alice :  No... Um... I don't have any appetite now...
Kyou :  I don't think that has nothing to do with it?
Alice :  I'm in a hurry, I had better get going.
Kyou :  I kept having the feeling that she's trying to avoid me lately.
Kyou :  Mayura, is Seno like this at home?
Mayura :  Not really...

Kyou :  ---?
Alice :  (No way... I feel hurt just seeing him. But... My feelings towards Senpai...)
Nyozeka :  You messed it up yourself.
Nyozeka :  You actually like... salad. [munch munch]
Nyozeka :  Confess your feelings to him properly! [munch munch] Delicious.
Alice :  How could you talk and eat at the same time? What are you doing?
Alice :  But, there's nothing I can do. Because Sis and Kyou senpai do have feelings for each other!

Nyozeka :  Are you going to have regrets just because of this? [transform!]
Nyozeka :  Looks like I have to watch over you all the time!
Nyozeka :  You are the "Lotis Master" whom I discovered. So you have to get used to using "words" in your everyday conversation.
Alice :  That again? I'm not that something master...
Nyozeka :  [looking around in Alice's room]
Nyozeka :  Okay, this is good too.
Alice :  ?

Nyozeka :  [transformed into plushie]
Alice :  [spurts out water from her mouth]
Nyozeka :  From tomorrow onwards, I'll follow you around outside in this form!
Alice :  [squeezed plushie in her hand] No, there's no need.
Nyozeka :  [gave Alice a kick to the head] There's no need to be shy!
Alice :  Don't joke about it. You are coming to school with me, or coming to the toilet with me?
Nyozeka :  What did you say? I wanted you to be a real "Lotis Master" as soon as possible...
Door :  KNOCK! KNOCK!

Mayura :  Alice, can I talk to you for a moment?
Alice :  Sis!
Mayura :  What happened... Are you having an internal fight?
Mayura :  Rab...Rabbit's fur...itchy. [Allergic to animals]
Alice :  Ah! Hold on, I'll put it back into it's cage!
Mayura :  Um... I hope to see him all the time... Go on a date regularly, be with him always.

Alice :  Of course, you're a couple!
Mayura :  [eyeing Alice attentively but seemed to be thinking of something else]
Mayura :  By the way, I wanted to talk to you... ...
Mayura :  Do you know that in the Archery Club... there's a first year student called Matsujou?
Alice :  ...Matsu...
Mayura :  Do you want to go on a date with him?
Alice :  (Huh?)
Mayura :  He's quite popular with girls, what do you think? About him, you must be a bit happy!
Alice :  Huhh!? What about it...

Mayura :  I'll introduce you guys tomorrow, then you start thinking of him as a boyfriend. I'm off.
Alice :  Hold on... There's some problem...
Nyozeka :  ...
Alice :  No way... (Sis...!?)
Matsujou :  I'm Matsujou Tatsuya.
Alice :  How... How do you do...
Mayura :  Shouldn't be a problem.

Matsujou :  Back at the Archery Club, I felt that you were very kawaii, shall we go on a date?
Alice :  (It's not like this, when did he ever saw me? I've never looked at anyone else beside senpai)
Alice :  (What shall I do, what shall I do, what shall I do...)
Nyozeka :  [peeping out from Alice's pocket] (Have some "courage", Alice! You have to use the correct word this time...)
Kyou :  Hey... What's up with you guys? [happened to walked by]
Matsujou :  Ah! Good morning Wakamiya senpai.
Kyou :  Seno...
Alice :  (Kyou senpai.)
Mayura :  Kyou would introduce him to Alice...

Alice :  I... Agreed... ... [holding tight onto Matsujou's hand]
Alice :  to go on a date... with Matsujou!
Kyou :  [Looks very surprised]
Matsujou :  Really!? I've succeeded!
Alice :  Bu... But, can we start from being friends...
Mayura :  [Looks somewhat confused over what Alice said]
Nyozeka :  Oh! [gave Alice a little kick in her pocket]
Alice :  (Right... In this way, I'll be able to forget... ...)

Alice :  (All about Kyou senpai--)
Kyou :  What happened to those two in the end?
Kyou :  Seno and Matsujou doesn't seems to be on a date...
Mayura :  You're bringing this up again!
Kyou :  I'm a person with a slow reaction?
Mayura :  Mmm. [Of course you are]
Kyou :  You want me to call it quits?
Mayura :  But this is the truth! Isn't it!

Mayura :  You are so concerned of Alice... this is strange.
Kyou :  My reaction is really slow [self-analysis]
Mayura :  Are you listening to me?
Kyou :  I'm listening. But Matsujou he... seems like a frivolous person.
Mayura :  Instead of talking about this, why not talk about us?
Mayura :  Because we are "on a date".

Mayura :  We meet in the group, going shopping during holidays, chatting...
Mayura :  Isn't it strange that we are only doing this? It's still the same before dating...
Kyou :  Mayura doesn't worry about Seno? Seno told me about you.
[Flashback] Alice :  Because Sis was so worried...
[Flashback] Alice :  Sis summed up her courage to tell you she "like" you... Please consider carefully.
Kyou :  Because of that, I've decided to go on a date with you.
Kyou :  I'm an only child, to someone who doesn't understand all this... I felt that she was right.
Mayura :  [Mayura looks shocked and doens't believe what Kyou said about Alice]

Alice :  (This isn't possible... Just throwing away the photo like that...)
Mobile :  RING RING
Alice :  [had a shock and quickly tried to hide Kyou's photo away]
Alice :  It's from Matsujou...
Nyozeka :  "I'm very happy today, see you at the group tomorrow."
Alice :  (It was happy... Chatting and window shopping on the way home, although that was nothing.)
[Flashback] Matsujou :  Can we hold hands?
[Flashback] Alice :  No...
Alice :  It was that bad after all...
Nyozeka :  I'm surprised, can you not use expressions that cannot be described with words?

Alice :  That's what I'm lousy at...
Alice :  (I don't want to get hurt, and I don't want to be disliked... With this attitude from the beginning.)
Alice :  Look I'm different from the Lotis Master you said.
Alice :  After that incident, this bracelet never glowed again...
Nyozeka :  Not because you don't want to, but because it isn't "time".
Nyozeka :  When the time comes, you can't be this slow-reacting, Alice.
Alice :  (That's...true. Sis is working hard "looking for a boyfriend" for me...)

Student :  Alice!
Alice :  Ah... Sis went home already...
Student :  Group activities had just ended. The rest of the students left here are clearing up the place.
Alice :  (I secretly looked at the Archery Club, it's been a long time since I set foot in here...)
Alice :  (The Archery hall which I used to go to, how Kyou senpai stand attention and take aim... ...)
Alice :  [shaking her head profusely]
Matsujou :  ......

Matsujou :  There's no one else! [placed a hand on Alice's shoulder]
Alice :  Ah, it's you... Matsujou...
Matsujou :  [whistling a tune]
Alice :  Uh, what...
Nyozeka :  Hmm!

Alice :  Stop!
Matsujou :  It's alright, I only want... We're supposed to be dating!
Alice :  It hurts...
Matsujou :  Just a kiss!
Alice :  Stop...
Kyou :  Hey!

Kyou :  Who else is in here... ...
Kyou :  ......!!
Alice :  Senpai...

Alice :  Senpai... [Trembling and crying to Kyou]
Kyou :  What did you do?
Matsujou :  Ah... It's nothing... I was just fooling with her!
Kyou :  Fooling around?

Kyou :  [suddenly grabbed on to Matsujou's T-shirt and threatened fiercely]
Kyou :  Then you shouldn't need to resort to violence?

Kyou :  Using that strength to grab a girl's hand, is that what a man should do?
Kyou :  Apologise to her now!
Alice :  [shocked that Kyou would have such a reaction]
Mayura :  Kyou!?
Mayura :  Hold on, Kyou, what are you doing, stop now!
Mayura :  Somebody help!

Mayura :  KYOU!!
Kyou :  [let loose of Matsujou's T-shirt]
Kyou :  Seno, it's alright now, there's no need to be afraid...
Alice :  Mm... ...[crying profusely]

Mayura :  [looking very worried]
Alice :  (Sis never said a word from just now...)
Alice :  Sis...
Mayura :  I've known him for over a year.

Mayura :  Kyou, this is my first time seeing him so worked-up...
Mayura :  If you dislike him, isn't it better to refuse him in the first place?
Alice :  Huh...
Mayura :  About Matsujou, if you don't have that kind of feelings, let him know your intentions.
Alice :  [looking perplexed at what Myura had said]
Mayura :  Because you are always so wthdrawn... to make it more understanding, you're not direct.
Nyozeka :  Going to cry soon...

Alice :  That incident... Because that's...
Mayura :  You're hurting your friends because of your actions... do you know that?
Alice :  That's... Sis...
Mayura :  You made Kyou so angry, what he did just now...
Alice :  (What's that? What!? My feelings. The feelings I hold on to. You don't understand.)
Mayura :  It must be because you're his "girlfriend's" sister...

Alice :  This kind of Sis, I hate...
Alice :  Disappear!
Nyozeka :  ALICE!

Alice :  [a sudden gust of wind(?) blew from the door behind Alice and Mayura just disappeared]
Alice :  Sis... Sis...?
Door :  creak... creak...
Alice :  Sis... ...?
