Koheiji: Sorry, bro...it really looks like they're going to get back together. // What an asshole, huh? Pretending he'd let you have his girl...

Hironari: ( It really doesn't look like they're going to get back together... )

Hiroyuki: ( I can't really tell him that... // He's all like "How can I get Chiaki-chan!?" Yeah...forget that.)

Ryuutarou: Move.

People: H... // Hey...

Koheiji: Hey, Haruka-chan!

Haruka: Ah?

Koheiji: Don't you have somewhere to be? // I just saw you over there...you really want to be with him, don't you?

Haruka: Uh...

Koheiji: It's cool, it's cool! // We're just friends of Asakawa-kun and Maeda-kun, so we wanted to pass some things on.

Haruka: Pass some things on?

Koheiji: Asakawa-kun told me to tell you "Ya think I love ya, Haruka? Get real. I hate women like ya." So, yeah...

Haruka: !

Haruka: That's...what do ya...

Koheiji: Yeah, he was pretty direct about it.

Mooks: ....

Koheiji: It looks like Maeda-kun hasn't really forgotten you at all. // Tomorrow's a Sunday, and the last day of his school trip, so he's going to be at Portopia Land. // He's inviting you.

(T/N: An old amusement park in Kobe.)
