(Ch. 2) Good Luck

Hanazakura: I see...
	I thought I researched everything about her,
	but I guess I was wrong.

Kine: I don't blame you, I've been busy and haven't seen her much lately.
	But that's not enough to affect our love at all.
	So sometimes I have to come out and clear up any misunderstandings like this.
	Even if the other guy stands a good two meters and upwards of 100 kilos.
	Now, stay away from Miho for good!
	Understand?!

Kine: What's your answer?!

Hanazakura: (sniff)

Thug: Wha's all this?
	Is this guy pickin' on you?

 - Page 26 -

Hanazakura: If I don't see her at least once a day,
	I just can't...

Thug: What do you say?
	We'll keep you safe for 3,000 yen.

Hanazakura: Don't bother us!
	We're having a conversation.

Thug: YEOOWWW!
	Aaahh!
	My arm is broken!

Thug: (oh dear)
	Come on now,
	you need to pay more than 3,000 yen for this.

Thug: Auuugh!

Thugs: Gyaaa!
	C'mon man,
	your acting's really terrible.
	H-hey asshole,
	what'd you do?!

Kine: Umm.

Girl: Hikari, what's this book for?

Hikari: Oh, let me have it,
	I'll return it to the library.

Horyuji: Wait up.
	There's a girl named Osanai Miho at this school.
	Send her out.

 - Page 32 -

Miho: She's here?
	Right.

Hideo: Good luck.

 - Page 33 -

Miho: Leave it to me,
	I'll act up a storm,
	pretending to be his girlfriend.

Hikari: Things seem to be getting quite complex.
	I wonder if she can fool her, though.
	That girl looked really intimidating.

Hideo: If she's purely acting, then the cover might get blown.
	...but I think
	it'll work out fine.

Haruka: At least bring your own towel.

Hiro: Thank you.
	Huh?  You leaving already?

Haruka: Yeah,
	this is my English lessons day.

Hiro: Oh,
	right.
	Good luck,
	and if I get an offer to play Major League Baseball, be my interpreter.

Haruka: Sure, if you don't mind me OK'ing everything.

Hiro: Idiot!
	Be a Japanese who can say no!

Haruka: OK.
	OK.

Miho: His favorite food is anything with "deluxe" in the name.
	His favorite celebrity is Echizen Hyota.
	His dream for the future is to be an Earth-friendly billionaire.

Horyuji: Enough!

Miho: Any mistakes?

Horyuji: You sound like you're reciting all the facts you memorized the night before a big test.
	Most girls would only remember things
	one at a time, when talking about their boyfriends.

Miho: (ahem)
	People have different ways of thinking.
	It's not my fault you're not as smart.

 - Page 39 -

Horyuji: What?

Girls: What's the matter, Horyuji-san?
	They both say they're going out.
	Yeah,
	you should just give up on him.
	I hate to say it,
	but let's face the-
	facts.

Girls: Ack!
	Gerk!

Horyuji: Let's get this straight one more time.
	Are you really Kine's girlfriend?

Miho: His favorite words,
	to be continued.
