Youta: Moemi-chan! Takashi!
Moemi: What have you been doing? You didn't come to school
all this time!
Even when I call you, it's always the answering
machine.
Youta: Well. Ah.
<7>
Moemi: Hey, don't you want to play with us?
Youta: Eh?
Moemi: Please, I'm so nervous being around Niimai-kun
alone, so.
Youta: I- I. now.
.I have something important that.
the fragrance of Moemi's hair, her beautiful voice.
I have something more important to do,
but my feet are frozen.!
<8>
Ai: Haa haa.
I have to take these. to Youta. quickly. Haa haa.
Sound: Gigigi.
Ai: Ha!
Kyaa.
<9>
Sound: Dosa.
Bo.
Ai: Oh no. the illustration board.
Am I going to disappear like this. without being
able to see Youta.
<10>
Youta: I've already given up Moemi-chan, but. why is my
heart racing? I didn't want to see her. I
don't want to see her yet!
Sound: Gui.
Takashi: Now we'll go see a movie.
Sound: Gon.
Youta: What am I doing. I have to find Ai-chan quickly!
What am I doing!
<11>
Takashi: Youta!
Sound: Ga.
Takashi: If you're feeling confused, take Moemi-chan away
from me.
<12>
Sound: Kon.
Youta: What is he saying? Of course it's impossible. What
is Takashi thinking!!
Ai: Youta.
Youta: Ha. Ai-chan!!
Sound: Bari bari bari bari.
Youta: It could be!!
Excuse me.
<14>
Youta: .burned illustration board. So Ai-chan must be.!
People: What? What?
.lightening on such a fine day?
In this season?
Sound: Zawa zawa.
Youta: If I didn't waste my time there.
No.
She must be somewhere else!!
<16>
Moemi: Well. 0.4 and.
Sound: Tyurururu tururu gacha.
Moemi: Ah, this is Hayakawa, and.
Ah, Niimai-kun! Thank you very much for today. The
movie was good wasn't it?
Takashi: Yeh.
Sound: Doki doki doki doki.
<17>
Moemi: Do you think. Moteuchi-kun will come to school
tomorrow?
Takashi: I don't know.
Why don't you ask him that question?
Sound: Gota.
Moemi: Yeah. that's right.
Didn't you think Moteuchi-kun was acting strange
today!?
Takashi: He has something to worry about too.
<18>
Moemi: Don't you think Moteuchi-kun is.
Takashi: Hey.
You talk about him all the time.
Then, see you at school.
Moemi: O-okay.
Sound: Gada.
<19>
Moemi: Fuu.
Sound: Gacha.
Moemi: I wonder if Moteuchi-kun will come to school
tomorrow.
Sound: Pi po pi po pi.
Tyurururu tyurururu.
Gacha.
Youta: Hello. This is Moteuchi. Right now I'm out, so
please leave a message!!
Moemi: Hello, this is Hayakawa. Well, I called you because
I was wondering if you were coming to
school tomorrow?
<20>
Moemi: Please call me when you get home.
See you.
Sound: Gacha.
Sound: Gacha.
Youta: She's nowhere. anymore. she's not.
<21>
Youta: Ai-chan.
<22>
Gokuraku: So are you saying it's recovery time?
It's still the renting period. If you take this girl
away from Youta Moteuchi now, it'd be too
much.
Rolex: There is no way. "Ai," is a sub-standard product.
She wouldn't do any good even if we did let
her stay with him.
<23>
Gokuraku: I don't think so. In fact, Youta Moteuchi is in need
of "Ai."
Rolex: .I'll decide what to do! Because I created "Ai."
