(Ch. 5) It's Not Here?

Hiro: Oh my,
	have you caught a cold, Hide-chan?

 - Page 80 -

Hideo: What are you supposed to be, a crappy manga artist?

 - Page 81 -

Waitress: Welcome.

Shuji: Have you been waiting?

Hikari: Not really.
	Not that I would have minded if you didn't show up.

Shuji: Then let's go.

Hikari: Go?  Where?

Shuji: The place where we'll meet my friend.

Hikari: It's not here?

 - Page 82 -

Shuji: He's never been here before.
	I had to pick out a place that's easy to spot.

Hikari: Hmmm.

Shuji: What are you doing?

Hikari: Nuthin'.

(Note: The sign reads "Safety First" in full, but the part that means "safe" has fallen off onto the ground.)

 - Page 84 -

Hikari: Hold on a minute.
	THIS is the place we're going to meet him?

Shuji: You can see those three smokestacks from anywhere.

Hikari: But still,
	you didn't have to pick a dirty, deserted factory...

Shuji: I didn't know.
	This place was still in business,
	five years ago.

 - Page 85 -

Shuji: Wanna come here and sit down?

Hikari: I'm fine.

Shuji: I'm so jealous.
	Of Hide-chan.
	A baseball star in his first year of high school.
	Surrounded by fans and reporters, basking in the spotlight.
	And to top it off, he even has a pretty girlfriend like you.
	Life just isn't fair,
	is it?

 - Page 86 -

Hikari: If he's got double of all the things you're jealous of,
	then he's got double the toil and effort, too!

Shuji: I was lucky.
	That I was friends with him as a kid.
	Now that celebrity will do whatever I ask him to.
	Buy me food,
	lend me money.
	And he even let me have his girlfriend, today...
	He's such a nice guy, isn't he?

 - Page 87 -

Shuji: Maybe he's just doing it because of my dead brother.

Hikari: Get any closer, and I'll scream.

Shuji: Is another cockroach going to attack me?

Hikari: Yes.
	But this cockroach is a little bigger than most.

 - Page 88 -

Nametag: Cocky

 - Page 89 -

Hideo: Are you into that stuff?

Hiro: Shut up!  It was half hidden, I thought it was a penguin.

Hideo: Oh yeah, I get those confused all the time.
	Like yesterday, I was in the kitchen, and
	what the hell are you doing here?!

Hiro: What about you, weren't you watching Hikari?!

Hideo: Wha...

Both: I thought YOU were going to watch out for her!

(Note: There goes the other half of "safety".)

 - Page 91 -

Hikari: AAA,

Shuji: He's here.

Hikari: ...aah.

Sign: Do not touch
	DANGEROUS
	High-voltage

Hideo: Hey...
	No problem.
	People have always gotten the wrong idea about him.
	But he's really...
