Haruka: Kunimi-kun,
	that button's about to fall off your uniform.

Hiro: Oh,
	you're right.

Haruka: Here, take that off.
	I'll fix it up.

Sign: Senkawa Private Senior High School

Hiro: Yeah,
	thanks.

Hiro: Hey you,
	don't come onto school grounds to play around.

Kids: Ah, a baseball player.
	What a dork.

Hiro: Hey you.

Sign: Baseball

Haruka: What are you doing?

 - Page 152 -

Haruka: Here.

Hiro: Ah,
	thanks.
	What happened to your finger?

Haruka: Oh,
	I poked it with the needle...

Hiro: What a klutz.

Haruka: (hehe)

Noda: Hiro.

Hiro: Yo.

 - Page 153 -

Hiro: Klutz, indeed.
	She even forgot to tie the string.

Nakagawa: Did your button fall off, Kunimi-kun?

Hiro: Indeed,
	Nakagawa from the handcrafting club.

Nakagawa: All done.

Hiro: Ooh.
	Yes!  Excellent!

Nakagawa: Leave it to me.
	I've been a starting player on the handcrafting club since my first year.
	Best button-fixer ever.
	Gahahaha.

Hiro: Thanks.

Kagawa: Hey you!

Kagawa: What happened to this racket?!

Ohtake: It was just lying there.

Kagawa: I meant, how was it broken?!

Ohtake: I found it like that.

Kagawa: Don't lie!
	Are you saying my racket just fell over and broke itself while I was washing my face?!

Ohtake: I don't know.

 - Page 156 -

Kagawa: What's with that face?!

Ohtake: Don't ask me, I was born with it.

Kagawa: You broke it, didn't you?!

Ohtake: No, I didn't.

Kagawa: That racket was expensive.
	You'd better pay for it.
	Got that?!

Ohtake: No, I won't.

Kagawa: Ah,
	hey!
	Come to the faculty room, right now!

Ohtake: I didn't do it.
	Leave me alone.

Kagawa: Don't play dumb!
	I know you broke it!

Haruka: Did you see him?!

 - Page 157 -

Haruka: Did you see him break that racket?

Kagawa: Well,
	no, I didn't...

Haruka: Then don't treat him like he's guilty!
	He says he didn't do it!

Ohtake: I didn't do it.

Kagawa: You expect me to believe someone like this?

Haruka: What do you mean by that?!
	Ohtake Fumio is a bright young first-year member of the Senkawa baseball team, headed for the Koshien!

Ohtake: (yep)

 - Page 158 -

Haruka: He's been to every single practice.
	And he might not be very good,
	but he works very hard all day long.
	He looks scary,
	but he does what he needs to.
	So stop blaming him when you don't have any proof!

Kagawa: Didn't anyone see this guy break my racket?!

 - Page 159 -

Haruka: Okay, Ohtake-kun.
	Get changed and ready for practice.

Ohtake: Right away.

Kagawa: Hey, wait!

Haruka: Excuse us!

Hand: (no)

Sign: Baseball Team

Shima: Good thing we have such a nice manager.

Ohtake: Kagawa, the tennis team's advisor.
	Nothing more than a show-off who only cares about what the girls think of him.

 - Page 160 -

Shima: Just don't act like a kid caught doing something wrong.

Ohtake: Did you see me break that racket?

Shima: Haha.
	"So stop blaming him when you don't have any proof,"
	she says.
	Just behave for a while!

Ohtake: Got it.

 - Page 161 -

Kagawa: I knew it, nobody else would have broken that racket!
	Nobody could pass by and touch that racket
	and still escape my anal-retentive attention,
	even while I was washing my face!
	Nobody else even walked by...

 - Page 162 -

Kid: Yeah,
	this is the one.

Gramma: So where's this
	tanish rocket my grandson broke?

Hiro: Ugh.

Nakagawa: Hello, Kunimi-kun.

Hiro: Yo,
	handcrafting Nakagawa.

Nakagawa: What?

Hiro: Um.
	Oh, nothing...
	Koga.
	Could you sew this button on for me?
