Haruka: ...I see now.

Ambulance: (weeoo)(weeoo)

Haruka: No wonder Kunimi-kun was in such a bad mood lately.

Miyoshi: You seem happy.

Haruka: Well, it means he was thinking all about me, even if it was a mistake.

 - Page 135 -

Miyoshi: But that's the extent of your relationship,
	isn't it.

Haruka: For now.
	I'm not in a rush.

Miyoshi: You're going to go out with me.
	It's over with him.

Haruka: This misunderstanding will be cleared up right away.

Miyoshi: Yes.
	Or, it MIGHT have been.

Miyoshi: They only open enough for ventilation.
	This is the 3rd floor, and we teach children as well.

Haruka: What are you going to do to me?

Miyoshi: Nothing.
	We're just going to spend a lot of time in here,
	for now.

Miyoshi: What's important is the fact that the two us spent all this time in this room.
	Men are creatures of imagination.
	Tonight, my parents are off on a vacation, leaving the English school closed.
	I'll be sure to let Kunimi-kun know the truth soon enough.

Haruka: And that you were lying?

Miyoshi: We'll see.
	It's up to Kunimi-kun to decide who is lying.

 - Page 138 -

Miyoshi: I've told Kunimi-kun how I feel about you.
	Men understand quite well what it means
	to spend a night together in the same room with the girl they love.
	You can explain the truth all you want,
	and even if he attempts to believe you,
	there will be a part of his imagination that refuses to accept it.
	And this will grow, depending on exactly how long you were here,
	from what time to what time.

Haruka: What is this going to earn you?

Miyoshi: You're going to go out with me.

Miyoshi: I also told Kunimi-kun that this was the first time
	I've even fallen so deeply in love.
	I know this is a dirty trick.
	But I don't want to give you to him.

Haruka: I'm sorry,
	but it's the first time I've been so deep in love, too...
	Even if Kunimi-kun decided he hated me,
	my feelings for him wouldn't change.

Miyoshi: That feeling won't last
	forever, however.

Haruka: In that case, I can't trust your feeling, either.

Miyoshi: Please!
	I swear, you won't regret it.

Haruka: Kunimi-kun told me...
	you were a pretty good guy,
	he thought...
	I know I'm easy to fool,
	but I wish you wouldn't have tricked him.

Miyoshi: Boys at our age...
	Hold both pure hearts and male desires.
	It's a desperate balance.
	If one holds back all of his very ample prudence and care,
	all that's left is desire.
	I don't have a problem with using force.

Haruka: Isn't judo about conquering force with gentleness?

Miyoshi: Judo has changed,
	as it spreads around the world.
	Don't bother.
	I can handle a man that weighs 100 kg.
	Even if Kunimi-kun himself was here, he would be powerless to stop me.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't want it to go this way...

Hiro: I love you.
	Was that pronunciation wrong?

Haruka: No.
	I understood you.

Miyoshi: Hmph.
