(Ch. 2) Is It OK, Then?

 - Page 24 -

Hideo: Hikari,
	time to go.

Hikari: Oh,
	you're right.

 - Page 25 -

Hiro: You're leaving?

Noda: Not gonna stay for the folk dance?

Hideo: With this arm?

Noda: Oh,
	you're right.

Hideo: We're going to watch a movie.
	Today's the last time we can use the tickets I got for free.

Hiro: You guys really like your movies.

Hideo: Well, unlike another certain someone I know,
	Hide-chan doesn't fall asleep in the middle if there are no naked women dancing around.

Hiro: She's talking about you, certain someone.

Noda: Shut up, certain someone.

Hikari: Anyways, you guys should be more concerned with finding partners for the folk dance.
	Unless you want to dance with another guy.

 - Page 26 -

Hiro: Thanks for minding your own business.

Hikari: Bye.

Noda: Lucky duck.
	I wonder if he gets to hold her hand in the middle of the dark movie theater.

Hiro: That would be the healthy thing to do nowadays.

Noda: That's right,
	and given how long they've been together, maybe they...

Hiro: Let's go find some cute girls.

Noda: Right.

Kine: So you ARE from Fukutomi Academy.
	I THOUGHT you seemed more refined.

Girl: Oh my gosh,
	that's not true at all.

Kine: May I ask you a question?

Girl: Sure.

Noda: What color are your panties today?

Kine: Huh?

 - Page 28 -

Noda: You're always so aggressive on the first meeting.

Kine: What's that supposed to mean?

Noda: Don't worry, he's a good guy.
	And he's honest, so you'll find out what he's like on the second question.

Kine: Yes,
	THANKS for the help.
	Sheesh!
	So, what color?

Girl: Huh?

Kine: Huh?

 - Page 29 -

Noda: How about those two on the bench?

Hiro: Hmmm,
	I'll pass.

Noda: How about her?
	With the long hair.

Hiro: She looks well-fortified.

Noda: Well,
	how about that one?

Hiro: She looks well-muscled.

 - Page 30 -

Noda: Let's split up here.
	Sticking with you doesn't look like it will result in any girls.

Hiro: Oh,
	well,
	as you wish.

Signs: Manga Club
	Photography Club
	Archaelogy Club

Sign: Cafe &
	Coffee

Girl: Welcome.

 - Page 32 -

Girl: WELCOME!

Hiro: Oh,
	coffee.

Dude: Oh, Kunimi!
	Dude, you know where Koga is?!

Kunimi: ...you mean,
	she's not here?

Dude: Dude, she's NOWHERE!
	The Miss Senkawa contest is scheduled to begin now in the gymnasium.
	Koga's one of the ten girls who got enough votes to be a contestant.
	Dude, we really need her to enter.

 - Page 33 -

PA: Koga Haruka-san, class 1-B.
	Please report to the Miss Senkawa waiting room.

Girl: Kunimi-kuun.
	This is Ono-san, my classmate from junior high.
	She says she's a big fan.

Ono: (kya)(pi)

 - Page 34 -

Ono: I love baseball.
	I often went to see your games in junior high.

Hiro: Gee, thanks.

Ono: Baseball is just great.
	No matter what anyone says.

Guy: (wanna dance?)

Girl: (I'm sorry)

Ono: It's SOOO much better than soccer manga.

Guys: (what's her problem?)
	(bitch)

Hiro: Er,
	I, uh...

Guys: Yeah, I think that girl on the roof was the hottest.
	Totally.

Ono: Isn't that right?
	Good luck next year!

Hiro: Thank you,
	Yamada-san.

Ono: It's Ono.

PA: Koga Haruka-san, class 1-B.
	Please report to the Miss Senkawa waiting room.

Hiro: BOO!

Box: (clunk)

Hiro: Don't catch a cold, Manager.

Haruka: I'm fine.
	It's pretty warm in here.

Hiro: Don't feel confident enough?

Haruka: About what?

 - Page 37 -

Hiro: Miss Senkawa.

Haruka: Ho ho ho.
	I am NEVER going to enter that contest!

Hiro: It's not that bad.  It's something for girls to take as an honor.

Haruka: You've got to be kidding!
	All those judges are jerks and pigs.
	They even judge on swimsuit forms.
	I mean, what are they THINKING?
	How can you rank girls based on how attractive they are?!
	We should have the right to appoint our OWN judges!

Hiro: Okay, okay,
	sorry.

 - Page 38 -

Haruka: Sorry for what?

Hiro: I also put in a vote,
	for you.

Haruka: You uphold your obligations.

Hiro: I guess.
	You're our manager, I have to rely on you for a lot of things.
	Are you sure you're not cold?

Haruka: I'm just fine.

Hiro: Oh.

 - Page 39 -

Hiro: Can I come back and call you when they start the folk dance?
	I don't have a partner.

Haruka: Don't be silly.
	I'm sure ANY girl out there would say OK if you asked them, Kunimi-kun.

Hiro: Is it OK, then?

Haruka: Can I stay here?

Hiro: Certainly.
	You sure you aren't cold?

Haruka: Yep.
	Not at all...

 - Page 40 -

Shuji: Can we talk for a bit?

Hiro: As long as I'm in time for the folk dance.
