Tohru: I see…

Sensei: Ah…Yuu-kun! How is Takashi?

Tohru: Huh…?

Sensei: Ah… / I shouldn’t call him “Takashi” / You talk about him so much, it feels like I know him too!

Tohru: Do I… // really talk about Takashi that much?

Sensei: Hm… // I guess you do?

Tohru: That’s right… // He’s important to me.

Sensei: You’ve / got to take // care of Takashi-kun… / I’m sure that’ll become necessary in your life…

9.

Sensei: Namie-san doesn’t have that… // That’s why she’s tied to the past… // I’m sorry… / That was insensitive of me.

Tohru: No…

Nurse: Sensei! / Something terrible happened!

Sensei: Calm down! What’s wrong?

Nurse: Namie-san…

Sensei: Yuu-kun! // I’m sorry, Yuu-kun. We’ll call the police for now.

Aya: Well, that can’t be helped. It is Tohru, so he must have a good reason... // Hey…it can’t be… // It’s not Takashi, is it?!

18.

Aya: Takashi’s in bed with mumps or something…? / Did Tohru…leave me behind… / so he could look after Takashi? // That’s all too likely!

Makoto: Calm down…

Aya: Don’t tell me to calm down! I jokingly told Tohru that I’d change my designated host to Takashi… / What do you think he said?! // If that’s what you want, I’ll arrange it! // Even though I’m trying my best to make Tohru No.1!

Tohru: I appreciate your feelings. / I don’t have any intention of competing with Takashi though.
