Bugs: (bzzt)(bzz)

Hiro: Uh,
	excuse me.
	Has anyone delivered a good luck charm to the Lost & Found?

Man: Oh,
	with a face on it?

Hiro: Yes, that's it!
	Whew.

Man: Here it is,
	all yours.

Hiro: Ohh,
	thank you.

Haruka: Kunimi-kuun,
	What are you doing?  The second game's already begun.

Hiro: Coming.
	Coming.

Girls: Kyaaa!
	It's Kunimi-kun from Senkawa!
	Huh?!
	Where, where?!

 - Page 117 -

Girls: Kyaa!
	Can I have an autograph?
	I want a picture together with you!

Haruka: Leave this to me, and go on ahead.

Hiro: You sure?

Haruka: A manager also has to play the villain sometimes.
	Stop!
	Stop!

Girls: Hey, wait!
	Who are you?!

Haruka: Listen to me...

Girls: Shut up!  We don't want to talk to you.
	Yeah!
	Now get out of the way!

Haruka: BE QUIET!
	Now listen to me!

Koga: What's all the commotion?
	I hear young women screaming.
	The product of poor households, no doubt.

Hiro: Hey old man,
	you should watch your tongue.
	I don't know about her home life,
	but that girl down there is popular around school,
	for her pretty face, good grades and athleticism, kindness, clutziness and determination.
	If you don't watch what you say, you'll make an enemy out of every student at Senkawa.

Koga: I know YOU are the product of a poor household.

Hiro: Bingo.

Hiro: My dad's a lazy lecher of a salaryman whose continued employment is a miracle.
	My mom is a boring, karaoke-loving housewife.

Koga: By the way, what do I look like?

Hiro: Some company president who doesn't look good in a hat.

Koga: (bingo)

Dad: Sir, sir,
	my son didn't say anything rude, did he...

Koga: Don't worry.
	He's not as bad as you.

 - Page 120 -

Dad: Well, shall we go back to the office?
	Since we're together, you won't mind if I ride in your car, I'm sure.

Noda: Hiro,
	over here.

Koga: Don't wander around too much.  You're a celebrity.

Noda: Where's Haruka-chan?

Hiro: Directing traffic.

Hiro: We play the winners of this game.

Noda: Yeah,
	just one more until the Koshien.

Hiro: Koga's good luck charms worked.

Noda: Yeah, we even managed to beat Eikyo.
	You're right,
	it was thanks to these...

 - Page 123 -

Hiro: What?

Noda: Um.

Hiro: You didn't lose it, did you?

Noda: N-no way!
	That's not funny.
	(ouch)

Hiro: Yeah, seriously.

Noda: Huh?

Hiro: Someone turned it in to the Lost & Found.

Noda: Ahhh,
	thank goodness.

 - Page 124 -

Haruka: Scuse me scuse me,
	thanks for waiting.

Hiro: Thanks.

Haruka: Sheesh,
	those girls are stubborn.

Hiro: I'm impressed.
	I didn't think you could...
	What are those autograph boards for?

Haruka: For whenever you have free time.

Hiro: Good job playing the villain.

Noda: What were you doing at the Lost & Found?

 - Page 125 -

Noda: You didn't...

Hiro: No way.
	That's not funny.

Koga: Hey you guys!
	C'mon, watch the game!

Both: Sure.

Hiro: {You've lost weight, Noda...}

Noda: (ZZZZZZ)

Hiro: (Z)

Noda: (ZZZ)

Hiro: {No...  you haven't.}

Haruka: You're awake?

Hiro: We played a game today, right?
	With Eikyo...
	And we won.
	...right?

Haruka: Don't worry.
	That part wasn't a dream.

 - Page 130 -

Haruka: We even watched the second game afterward,
	but you two fell asleep immediately.
	I bet you don't even remember it.

Hiro: So,
	who won, in the end?

Haruka: Shotoku High School.

Hiro: Shotoku...
	Which one was that?

Haruka: We recorded the game, so you can watch it later.
