        Sound:   Kara karan. 
           Ai:   What is it? .calling me here. 
        Youta:   You've been cold recently. Do you hate me? 
           Ai:   I might. Anyway, from the beginning, it wasn't 
                 'liking' or 'hating'. 
        Youta:   I see. 
        Sound:   Su. 
        Youta:   Don't come back to my house anymore. Go back to the 
                 Video World. 
 
 <68> 
        Youta:   It'll be hard, even if you stay with me more than 
                 this. 
           Ai:   Wait. 
                 It's a lie!! The truth is, I love you! I'm sorry I 
                 was cold to you!! But. 
        Rolex:   Ai. 
        Sound:   Biku. 
           Ai:   Ha. 
        Rolex:   What you said just now is out of your programming. 
                 It's against you job of putting "Moemi 
                 and Youta," together. You can never say, "like," or, 
                 "love". 
        Sound:   Dokun dokun. 
 
 <69> 
        Rolex:   You remember the conditions, right. 
           Ai:   Please. One more time. Give me the chance one more 
                 time! 
        Sound:   Syuu syuu. 
        Rolex:   Disappear, Ai! 
           Ai:   No! Youta!! 
 
 <70> 
           Ai:   Haa haa haa. 
                 .a dream. 
        Youta:   You've been cold recently. Do you hate me? 
           Ai:   If he asks me that, how should I answer? 
                 I'm scared. Everything might end then. 
 
 <71> 
           Ai:   Being cold to you is not because I hate you, Youta. 
        Youta:   Ai-chan isn't here. She didn't go anywhere without 
                 telling me. 
        Sound:   Burororo. 
                 Burororo. 
        Youta:   Yes! Yes! 
 
 <72> 
        Youta:   Hello, this is the Moteuchi residence!! 
                 Ah, Takashi.

        Youta:   Hello. 
        Moemi:   Moteuchi-kun! 
        Youta:   H-hi. 
                 --Well, Takashi suddenly had to go to his band 
                 practice, and he couldn't come. 
        Moemi:   I see. 
      Takashi:   Would you go somewhere with Moemi instead of me? 
        Youta:   -- was told, but I'd better go home. I'm finally able 
                 to give her up, and I'm with her again. 
                 Well, see you. 
        Moemi:   Ah. 
                 Moteuchi-kun, do you have time now? 
 
 <74> 
        Youta:   How did this happen? 
        Moemi:   Here. 
        Youta:   I feel so wimpy, my weak decisions. This means I 
                 still like her, deep inside of me. 
        Sound:   Toboho. 
        Youta:   She has my type of cuteness. I can't lie about that. 
                 Wait, do I like both Ai-chan and Moemi-chan? 
                 Who do I really like? 
        Moemi:   Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom. 
        Youta:   Okay. 
                 Anyway, this is the first time I'll see a movie with 
                 a girl, so I won't worry about such small 
                 things, and just enjoy it. 
 
 <75> 
        Youta:   Now I remember that I wasn't able to see the movie 
                 with Ai-chan. 
           Ai:   If we see a movie, we have to just sit there for two 
                 hours. 
                 It's a waste of time. 
        Youta:   .said that, and refused to see it! Fun*! 
                 * Fun, not the English "fun," is similar to "Hmph!"

        Sound:   Kapo. 
     Sorayama:   My parents aren't home because they're on a trip! 
                 This is my chance. 
                 I'll bring Ai-chan home and. 
                 Kiss. 
                 Today, we'll get there. 
                 Um. 
                 Oh, she's cute. 
                 A beautiful girl and a toilet. An interesting 
                 combination. 
 
 <77> 
        Youta:   What! Dating Sorayama! Why!? 
           Ai:   Leave me alone, it doesn't concern you.! 
        Youta:   Do you hate me? 
        Sound:   Piku. 
           Ai:   Just inviting me to a movie in return. 
        Youta:   In return!? For what? 
           Ai:   In return for saving me when I saw a pervert. 
        Youta:   Saving you from a pervert? 
     Sorayama:   Mo-Moteuchi!! 
                 Why is he here!? 
 
 <78> 
           Ai:   -- anyway, that's what it is. 
        Youta:   You don't want to see a movie with me, but you can 
                 see one with Sorayama. 
        Sound:   Su. 
           Ai:   He doesn't understand. Youta. It means I don't want 
                 to see a movie with someone I really 
                 like to be with. 
                 I can't say what I am feeling, so understand a 
                 little bit, stupid! 
     Sorayama:   Are they going out? Even so, it's the danger of 
                 couples. Moteuchi is no competition. 
        Moemi:   Sorry. 
                 Anything wrong? 
        Youta:   Nothing's wrong. 
 
 <79> 
        Sound:   Chira. 
     Sorayama:   Oh! What nice legs ???! I'll take her home no matter 
                 what happens!! 
                 For now, I just want to hold her hand. How should I 
                 do it. 
                 Suddenly might be bad. I'll act pure-hearted, so are 
                 there any other good ways. 
        Movie:   Yeah, the family is the best. 
        Sound:   Pin. 
 
 <80> 
        Sound:   Su. 
     Sorayama:   Both of my parents work, so I'm always alone. 
                 So i can't watch. a family drama like this. it makes 
                 me so sad. 
        Sound:   Gaba. 
     Sorayama:   Umm. 
                 Oh, she's not refusing. She must be ???! 
                 Her breasts are small. 
                 I feel so lonely. Please come. to my house tonight. 
           Ai:   What!? Well, but. 
 
 <81> 
        Youta:   What's that impostor doing to Moemi-chan! 
                 He didn't help her, but he might have touched her. 
                 Um. 
     Sorayama:   I touched a cute girl's hip! 
        Moemi:   Moteuchi-kun? 
        Youta:   Ai-chan, the pervert was Sorayama!! 
 
 <82> 
           Ai:   What are you talking about? 
        Youta:   It's true, right now! 
           Ai:   It's not like that. You don't know anything! 
        Moemi:   It's Ai-chan.! 
       People:   Be quiet!! 
           Ai:   You're disturbing people, get seated quickly! 
                 Quickly!! 
        Sound:   Gyu. 
        Youta:   About me. so much. 
 
 <83> 
        Youta:   Do you hate me so much!!Moemi:What does he mean!? 
                 Aren't they brother and sister? 
           Ai:   Why does this happen to me. It's just painful, even 
                 when we're together! I don't like this. 
                 I can't be patient anymore. 
                 Youta. 
 
 <84> 
        Sound:   Su-- 
           Ai:   Oh no, I'm going to disappear!! 
        Youta:   What do you want to say! Say it! 
           Ai:   I have to save my feelings!! I'm sorry, Youta. It's 
                 harder for me not to be able to see you 
                 forever. 
        Sound:   Gu. 
     Sorayama:   What's wrong? Did I do something bad? 
        Youta:   This impostor! 
           Ai:   Let's go, Sorayama-kun. 
        Youta:   Answer me! You like him more than you like me!! 
       People:   Shut up, stupid!! 
     Sorayama:   Ha! He's being jeered! 
           Ai:   Sorayama-kun. 
 
 <85> 
           Ai:   I'll go to your house today. 
     Sorayama:   Eh, really! But what about Moteuchi-kun? 
           Ai:   It's okay. 
     Sorayama:   I'm sorry, Moteuchi-kun. 
        Sound:   Peko. 
                 Nita. 
        Youta:   That guy!! He's planning something!!
