Adachis: Man,
	that was a spectacular exhibit.
	I was really moved.
	Ad*chi Mitsuru's work really is the best.
	Total agreement here.

Hiro: Let's see.
	What should we do now?

Haruka: Oh,
	why don't we wash out the bad aftertaste at the Western Gallery next door?

Hiro: It says it's under construction.

 - Page 171 -

Haruka: How about the zoo, then.

Hiro: Sheesh,
	autumn of culture, indeed.

Horyuji: Can I order this?

Kine: Why are you asking me?

 - Page 172 -

Horyuji: Cause you're buying.

Kine: In that case, no!

Horyuji: Strawberry cream fruit salad, extra fruit.

Kine: Are you listening?

Horyuji: Thank you for spending the day with me.
	This is the first time I ever asked a boy out on a date before.
	I was afraid you might turn down my offer.

Kine: Actually, I did, repeatedly,
	but that didn't stop you from-

Horyuji: I've liked you since I was in middle school, Kine-kun.

Kine: Liar!
	What kind of girl cracks the ribs of the guy she likes?!

 - Page 173 -

Horyuji: I was a child.  I didn't know how to express my feelings correctly.

Kine: So you used headbutts and indian burns instead.

Horyuji: I didn't have much else to show off.

Kine: Try to think of the effects of your showing off, first.
	Plus, you had a black belt in karate-

Horyuji: Third-degree black belt now.
	Well, shall we go?
	To the Ad*chi Mitsuru Exhibit...

Sister: Miho.

 - Page 175 -

Sister: We're going to get some drinks with these nice guys.
	You can go home on your own.

Miho: Hey,
	wait!
	You can't-

Kine: Y-yo,
	hi there, Miho!

Miho: ...Miho?

 - Page 176 -

Kine: Oh, don't get the wrong idea!
	This is just a classmate from junior high!
	I happened to run into her today... y'know?
	Don't worry, Honey, I'm definitely not cheating on you.

Miho: ...Honey?

Kine: Sorry, I promised I'd spend the entire day with her.
	As you can see, it's just like two guys hangin' out.
	I'll call you tonight.

Miho: ...hey.
	Ass.

Horyuji: Who was that?

 - Page 177 -

Kine: Oh,
	that's Osanai Miho, a 1st-year girl at Meiwa Ichi High.
	We stayed at the same hotel during this summer's Koshien,
	and that's where I met her.
	Sorry,
	she tends to get really jealous.
	Oh, it's OK,
	no need to worry.
	This is only for TODAY, after all.
	I'm sure she'll understand.
	Seeing that this is only for TODAY.
	Yup.

Hiro: Um, hey.

Haruka: What?

 - Page 180 -

Hiro: So,
	do you still want to be a flight attendant?

Haruka: Yep.
	For now.
	I started taking English lessons last month.

Hiro: Really.

Haruka: Do you know him?
	Miyoshi-kun, who transferred into Class D from America.

Hiro: ...yeah.
	I think I know him...

Haruka: Later, I found out that his dad
	is the one who teaches my English class.

 - Page 181 -

Hiro: No wonder.

Haruka: And I'm really good friends with Miyoshi-kun now.
	So he buys me dinner a lot now,
	and even takes me home if it gets late.
	Sometimes he calls me,
	but when I answer, he starts talking all in English.
	It's really hard, but it helps.

Hiro: "Oh,"
	"Time over."
	"Come back,"
	"boat station."

 - Page 182 -

Kine: Well well,
	that was a very fun day.
	So,
	bye.

Horyuji: Wait.

 - Page 183 -

Horyuji: Let me make sure one more time.
	That girl is your girlfriend?

Kine: ...yeah.

Horyuji: Got it.
	If she...
	Goodbye.

Kine: If she,
	...what?

Pamphlet: Are you sure about this?
	Ad*chi Mitsuru Exhibit

Mrs. Amamiya: Huh?  Weren't you going to go
	to that exhibit?

Hikari: My friends said it was absolutely terrible.

Mrs. Amamiya: That's what I figured.
