Pg 33: Kazuki: She cries, and then she asks "why? why?". That's all she ever does. Kazuki: If that's all she ever does, then nothing will ever come out of it.

Kazuki: If she has something she wants to say to me, she should say it to my face Kazuki: (She doesn't know anything) Kazuki: She's stupid being scared about stuff she knows nothing about--- Kazuki: She's just looking for me because it's her responsibility to watch over me, isn't she?

END OF CHAPTER 17
Pg 174: Kazuki: Haruyama wasn't able to run away from anything anymore because of his injured leg Kazuki: He can't run away from anything--- Kazuki: and he can't run to anything either---
Pg 175: Guy: You're Haruyama Hiroshi, correct? //The race between the gas station employees using bikes//
Pg 176: Man: Once you have made a full recovery, cooperate with us and make sure to hand yourself in to the police. Your parents are acting as your guarantors If you try something, your parents will be the ones to be in trouble.... Haruyama: I got it--- Man: We just finished discussing with the police And we and your parents asked for their cooperation for as long as you have the will to attend rehabilitation For now, don't think about what'll happen later on put all your efforts in trying to regain movement in your left hand and leg... I know you've probably heard this time and time again, but it is very crucial for you to keep hope alive---- Haruyama: Am I unlucky or what? Kazuki: ...Yeah, you are. //thud// //squeeze//
Pg 177: Kazuki: But... Kazuki: you're alive.... Kazuki: you're alive... Kazuki: (Even now) Kazuki: (I still can't believe) Kazuki: (the things that've happened since his accident) Haruyama: ...Shithead Kazuki: (I know that this is going to be one of the hardest challenges for him yet) Kazuki: Monkey! Haruyama: What! You're treating an injured person like that? Kazuki: Monkey! Monkey! Yay~! Haruyama: ...Kazuki--- Kazuki: Hmm? Haruyama: Ya fuckin'... ugly bitch! Kazuki: (When he gets released from this hospital, he'll check-in to a rehab center right away and--) [SL: Sorry] Guy: Then it's a sure thing he's gonna end up in juvie, ain't it? //noise noise// Guy #2: Yeah, and his 4FOUR's like a total mess Guy #3: I heard he's using a wheelchair. That guy. In a wheelchair. Can ya believe it? //noise noise// Guy #4: Is he gonna be a fuckin' cripple for the rest of his life? Guy #5: Dunno, probably? [SL: Yeah, this loser right here, was like riding his bike cryin' Niagara Falls his nose was runnin' like crazy--- and yeah, since it was fuckin' cold his tears were like freezing--- And he was like cryin' "Wahhhh! Haruyama~" SHUT UP! //sob//]
Pg 178: //noise// Guy: Yeah, but in our world, ya know? People dying ain't like that fuckin' rare Guy: But since there weren't that kinda stuff goin' on lately in NIGHTS.... [SL: But Haruyama was like---- "Am I fuckin' unlucky or what? Hahaha" and he's laughin' it off
And what's with his head anyway? He's like fuckin' bald now Haha yeah] Guy: I heard though, that years back, it happened alot Guy: They'd like, gather together at the guy's funeral, ya know? Yeah, and I thought like, so that's how they do it //gya----gya----/ Guy: Since I'm not too bright, ya know? I didn' care much about anyone else I joined 'cause I wanted to look cool ridin' my bike [SL: Bleh, Ri-chan, I feel sick.... What! again?!] Guy: But when I watch Guy: a guy I know Guy: go through what he did, and still make it out alive, and be able to talk and shit, ya know?

All the top guns came out--- and they were pissed out of their minds, you wouldn't believe it--- Guys: No really?
Pg 179: Shigeru: Huh? Guy: We knew they were gonna be like that. That's why we didn' show up Guy #2: Ehhh no fair! //Right ya guys? Yeahhhh// [SL: They were sayin' stuff like how the eight guys got arrested last time because we weren't takin' our riding seriously and they were saying stuff too like how it was our fault Haruyama ended up like that--- and they were like, they're gonna take his place and whip us into shape, and shit] Shigeru: They didn't even show up that night--- //Oh, could ya give me a glass? Thanks// //There there// Shigeru: They're taking advantage of the fact Haru-san's in the hospital now---- Geez, I practically coughed up blood, ya know! //sob sob// Shigeru: Oh yeah Shigeru: And they were saying how they were gonna decide the next leader of NIGHTS before the police force Haru-san to sign some form to break up NIGHTS Guy: What the fuck...Haruyama should be the one to decide, he's the leader--- Guy #2: So...if he ended up dying, they would've held a funeral for him Guy #2: but if he survives...that's what they do? [SL: If ya skipped outta this though, aren't they gonna be really pissed? They're not gonna know Yeah, but they mentioned your guys' names---sayin' how you weren't there Whoaaaa~] Narrator: Someone said how NIGHTS was too easy on its members
Pg 180: Kazuki: (I made it so I never asked him about what kind of stuff was going on in the gang, so I'm not too sure) but Haruyama's friends often came to his side with cuts and bruises all over them) Kazuki: (When I see a group of guys from the main branch by his side, I become scared) Kazuki: (that he might disappear off somewhere again) Eri: Kazuki, you're going to that all girls high school, right? Kazuki: Yeah Kazuki: Yeah Girl: Oh, really? Eri: She was saying how, while senpai's hospitalized and all, she wanted to do something too, ya know? Eri: She just barely made the marks to get accepted //yeah, so that's how it is// Girl: But she can probably get into that school even if she didn't study [SL: Girl: But are YOU gonna be okay? You're gonna go to some hair stylist school, right? Eri: That's exactly why I'm getting you guys to teach me...] Kazuki: Why? Kazuki: Why can't I visit you Kazuki: while you're in the rehab center? You're going to be there for a while, aren't you? Haruyama: I don't want you to see me while I'm doin' it Haruyama: That's all.

Happy graduation!") //kyaaa---kyaa---// [letter reads: To Kazuki-chan That's great news that you've decided what school to go to! Yukko] //ahahahaha// [blackboard reads: GRADUATION] Eri: When I think back, I don't know how to describe it, but Tooru-san and Hiroko-san were like, you know, kinda sad in a way?
Pg 184: Eri: I really looked up to them back then though. //hahahahaa// Kazuki: Yeah Kazuki: I wonder...what they're doing now Eri: They probably don't know what happened to Haruyama-senpai, do they? Kazuki: ...probably not Eri: No one can really tell...what might happen to 'em in the future, don't you think? Kazuki: Yeah...you're right... //ahahaha// Kazuki: But Kazuki: if he told me to wait for him Kazuki: that's about all I can do Eri: Yeah. Eri: Good luck, Kazuki Eri: Good luck. Kazuki: You too. Sorry I made you worry so much Eri: Hahaha, stop it! You're embarrassing me! Kazuki: But it's trueee //Senpaiiii! Can I please take a photo of you?!//
Pg 185: Teacher: I could never figure out what she was looking at... Teacher: her eyes were like fierceness and weakness combined... Teacher: she was a tough one, no doubt... //slurp// //kyaaa---kyaa---// Teacher: I can only pray Teacher: that the things those eyes will see in the future... will be the things that'll make her stronger... Kazuki: ("Good luck, Kazuki Good luck") Kazuki: (-----April Haruyama checked-in to a rehabilitation center in the city he can't come back for at least three months---)

Guy #3: Yah! Kazuki: (I write to him everyday but I haven't received a single reply)
Pg 187: Kazuki: (I don't even know if he's reading any of the letters I've sent him..) Kazuki: (I think...that because of his personality...inside, he's probably a mess right now... and he's probably really frustrated...) Kazuki: (But there's nothing I can do....) Guy: He got into this huge fight with the guy working at the center Guy: Well, if ya can call it a fight. It was more like him whinin' Kazuki: So...what happened? Richard: The guy working there was like "Yeah, yeah", ya know? Didn't really take him seriously Richard: He put too much pressure on himself Richard: and he like passed out Guy: Yeah, things aren't going the way he wants them to, ya know? So yeah, I can understand why he'd snap Guy: There were all these young guys and they'd all been in an accident or another, it scared the shit outta me Guy: His injury ain't that bad compared to some other guys', but still---
Pg 188: Richard: If I was him, I woulda gone crazy just being in there, ya know? Kazuki: ...Yeah Richard: He's really Richard: strong Kazuki: Yeah Kazuki: Yeah Kazuki: (Please help him) Guy: Oh yeah, I saw the letter you wrote to him beside his bed Guy: the letter was open Kazuki: (once more) //clank clank// //Good morning!

Pg 190: Kazuki: (Back then...I couldn't see anything) Kazuki: (Even when I hurt another person, or when I hurt myself, I didn't care, I thought everything was just so cool) //byeee byeee!// //ahahaha// Kazuki: (Even when I did bad stuff, I blamed it on someone else) Kazuki: (But the things you do always end up coming back to you) Kazuki: (Even if you suffer because of it, you can't complain to anyone but yourself) Kazuki: (I don't ever want to regret anything) Kazuki: (but if I knew what I know now) Kazuki: (and I could go back) Kazuki: (if I could go back once more)

Mom: I lived life up until now not knowing anything about what was going on inside her mind Mom: Even if a child's father isn't alive Mom: if he and the child's mother loved each other from the bottom of their hearts, Mom: then that child might have naturally learned the importance of being loved, and of loving another person

Pg 4: //vrooommm// Kazuki: (There was a small article in the newspaper a week ago, that mentioned how the leaders from five gangs were rounded up and arrested.) //vrooom vrooomm// //clank// Kazuki: (I don't know if Tooru-san was able to get away, or if he was arrested.)
Pg 5: [on the far left reads: HOT ROAD] //slide// Kazuki: (Ever since that day, Haruyama hasn't said much...) //clank clank// Kazuki: (he's spends his time being by himself...) //clank clank// Guy: Yoo---! Check out the chick buying Oden! [Oden=boiled egg, radish, konnyaku, etc. are stewed in this soy-sauce like broth] She's pretty hot! [the label reads "Rocket Fireworks"]
Pg 6: //thud// //bubble bubble bubble// //clank clank clank// Haruyama: Could we get more eggs? Kazuki: Are you going to be able to eat them? Haruyama: Yeah, it's okay as long as it's boiled. //bubble bubble// Haruyama: Could ya put 6 in? Woman: What? Kazuki: HAH?

Haruyama: Hiroko--- we bought some fireworks--- Kazuki: (Hiroko-san lost more weight recently. It's really hard to watch her like this.) Kazuki: (They didn't talk about Tooru-san at all. I can kind of understand why he's worried about her, more so than ever.)
Pg 10: Kazuki: (Haruyama cut the inside of his mouth because of the fight he got into last time. Because of it, he can't eat much.) [SL: Haruyama: Haha, I don't know where it's gonna go] [SL: Haruyama: What if it goes into someone else's house? Haha] Kazuki: (I don't know the things that happened in the past) Kazuki: (between them and Tooru-san.) Hiroko: Haha. Haruyama: Call already. Hiroko: To home? Haruyama: Yah. Hiroko: Why don't you?

Kazuki: ("Something important"...?) Teacher: If you make an effort, then--- Kazuki: (It's probably... got something to do with that guy finally getting divorced, and wanting to remarry...)
Pg 24: Kazuki: (For that to happen, she needs my answer.) Teacher: You're a smart girl, so if you think about it even a little bit, you should understand.

Oh yeah, everyone's been wanting to talk to you--- Eri: but they're a bit scared of you. Eri: I told them that they were morons for being scared! //fight-o! fight-o!// Eri: The truth is... these past two months... it felt like you were drifting further and further away from me...and I hated it Eri: Ever since you became the girlfriend of the head of the gang...

Guy: Yeah. Girl: That's so sad! //noise noise// Guy: And we dunno when Bakutou's gonna make their move. //hey heyyy!// //hahaha// Guy #2: The guys at the main headquarters are all saying that they won't let Haruyama do whatever he wants. Guy: I wouldn't mind giving him a chance Guy: if he's serious about becoming the head~
Pg 29: Guy: but ya know how he is. Guy #2: Yeah, I can't keep up with 'im. I wanna stay alive, ya know. //haha, ya think?// Guy: He really likes fighting--- Guy: When he stayed over at my house, he heard this guy saying there was a fight going on outside, and he ran outside with shampoo still in his hair. Guy: But it turned out to be some elementary brats' fight //HAHAHAHA// Guy: Ha... Guy #2: That group.... Guy: I heard they beat the hell out of the guys at first, and only let in those that can keep up. Guy #2: That's probably why there's only 15 of 'em. Guy: Is he....

Kazuki: I wouldn't cry, and I--- Kazuki: always end up crying....//wheeze// Guy: He's always saying shit, but in the end he always has a girl with him. I think it's because he's lonely.
Pg 33: Guy: If he doesn't have a girl, he really only has us and his bike. Guy: I said some stupid stuff to you before... Guy: but I think...you're not "the girl who won't cry".... Guy: this time, he's chosen someone who'll stay by his side no matter what. That's what I think. Guy: But ya know, he always gets mad at me for being too full of excuses--- Guy: Everyone probably feels Guy: the same as you though. //We're looking like the morons---- Yeah, and he's the retard---// Guy: Since a long time ago, he's done shit no one else would ever think of doing. Even when he thinks it's dangerous he just goes out and does it. Seeing him do that kind of stuff makes me fuckin' pissed, but jealous at the same time.

If they're trash talking about us, I'm not gonna stand there and do nothin'. //vrooommm// Haruyama: So there's nothing you can do to stop me, ya hear? //tap// Guy: What're you embarrassed for?
Pg 36: Guy: You might think it's annoying for me to say this again, but...don't make Kazuki worry too much. //vrooom// Haruyama: No sweat. Haruyama: I'm planning on breaking up with her anyway.

Guy: Hey, is it just me or did you get more cuts since last time? Haruyama: Haha, I just started to like the bandages--- //hahahaha// Richard: Let me guess, you went to the main headquarters to give your greetings and they did that to you? Haruyama: Retar-- Kazuki: Eh? Richard: Ah!
Pg 80: Haruyama: Why are you always the one to spill the beans? Richard: Sorry---! Guy: You don't know? The "I'll get NIGHTS" incident? Eri: But wasn't the main headquarters really mad about senpai? Guy: Haha, they're not anymore. They've kinda given up, I guess you could say? //shut up!// Guy: He went to the headquarters and said to the six guys in charge "I'm going to take care of NIGHTS" Guy: And they're all just like laughing Guy: they told him "Fuck this, do what you want". Guy: 'Looks like they're gonna be riding on their own now. Kazuki: (He's done all this without me knowing anything...) //To put it in other words though, they cut ties with 'im, right? Geezzz! Well I guess there's nothing we can do about it//
Pg 81: Guy: Yeah, but that group's got a lot of people who're gonna quit anyway, right? Kazuki: ("Don't try to stick your head in where it doesn't belong") Guy #2: Yeah, they were saying how there's no point in staying if Tooru-san's not here Guy: That means that the numbers are gonna drop, right? Guy: When's the first meeting gonna be? Haruyama: It's still gonna go ahead as planned. Kazuki: (Haruyama's drifting further and further away) Guy: Anything you wanna say to them before then? Haruyama: "If you wanna come, come. If you don't, then don't" //Haha, whoaaa! Pretty gutsy words there, my man! What if they really didn't come? Haha! Haha, yeah it'll be fuckin' hilarious if only you guys showed up// Guy: Ah, I spot with my little eye...cops. Guy: Shit, they're heading our way. //slam//

Cop: Is this the only bike you got? Whose is it? Huh? Where's your helmet? Is this it? Cop: How'd the others get here? Guy: By foot Cop: Don't lie. What's with those bandages? Haruyama: I accidentally fell Cop: [SL: What?!] You gotta be more careful! //thump thump// Cop: Are you guys going to the gang meetings 'round here? Guys: Noooo Cop: There's gonna be a big one around summer, isn't there? Guys: We don't know Cop: Show us what you have in your pockets Guys: Whattt!

Mother: I don't know who she's eating with, or who she's with, Mother: or what she's doing right now. //Go around from the back!// //Whattt! From where?// //thump thump// Guy: Right now, Kazuki-chan might be see frightening things as Guy: a thrilling fun time...
Pg 87: Guy: Because there are so many things she doesn't understand, Guy: like the difference between right and wrong, and the true meaning of life and death Guy: she might be thinking that just doing fun things means everything Guy: But I think, Kazuki-chan... Guy: and others, even those not in a gang, go through something like this at least once in their lives. Guy: For the adults, it's very scary, and it's true if they make one wrong step, it might end very badly, but Guy: in all their lives, Guy: the opportunity to run towards something without caring for anything else Guy: might be in just that one moment.
Pg 88: Kazuki: ("You think being in a motorcycle gang makes you some hot shit?!") //vroommm// Kazuki: I... Kazuki: wouldn't know... //thump thump// Kazuki: (I like the tail lamp of the bike riding in front of me) //vrooommm// //vroooommm// //siren// Mother: But Mother: she's... finally 15.

If he isn't listening anyway, might as well not repeat hat I said...) //ha// Kazuki: Nothing Haruyama: Hey, I heard your birthday's tomorrow? Haruyama: Eri was saying so. Kazuki: (Oh, so he knew already.) Haruyama: Wanna go to Yamashita park and eat some takoyaki? Kazuki: Takoyaki? Haruyama: Okay, I'll buy you some yakisoba. Haruyama: My birthday's November 1st. Don't forget, al'right? Kazuki: 111? Haha. Kazuki: (We ate yakisoba that had 15 candles stuck in it) Haruyama: Just leave me be, haha

Everyone felt like he abandoned them.) Kazuki: (That's the kind of face everyone was making.) Kazuki: (It was the first time I thought of Tooru-san as a bad person.)
Pg 94: Haruyama: Hey...what time is it? Kazuki: I don't know. Kazuki: I guess it's around midnight? Haruyama: Oh.... Haruyama: I have somewhere Haruyama: I gotta get to. Haruyama: Take the taxi to get back to Tooru's place //vrooommm// Kazuki: Eh... Kazuki: but... //vrooommm// Haruyama: Don't tell anyone. Haruyama: He got caught Haruyama: around 3 days ago

Pg 100: Kazuki: (Someone later said how Tooru-san was let go due to a lack of evidence. I have a feeling that those two will never come back here) //vrooommmm// Haruyama: Guess there's no way to get around this---

Girl: I just couldn't stand it anymore, and I bolted. Girl: I heard I'm not the only one who did that though. Girl: Most of 'em didn't break up with him because they didn't like him anymore, so I heard there are still some girls who can't forget about him.. //vrooommmm// [SL: Haruyama: Shut the hell up!] Girl: And you know how he has that nice side to him right? Towards girls anyway. Girl: That gives even more of a reason for the girls to have a tough time getting over him //vrooommm// Girl: Haha, I guess I'm being too chatterbox?

See ya. //click// Eri: Geez...another no. //splash// Kazuki: ...sorry. Eri: Haha, don't worry about it. I don't mind doing this for you //ring ring// //splash// //click// Eri: Ah, senpai?

Pg 102: [SL: Eri: I have a big favor to ask~] //splash// //splash// Kazuki: ("I don't want to have to look at your face anymore!") //splash// Eri: Kazuki! We're in luck! She said you could come! Let's go! Eri: ...? Are you thinking about Haruyama-senpai? //splash// Eri: It's weird--- I did tell him what's going on between you and your mom~ Kazuki: Yeah...just forget about it. Kazuki: This has Kazuki: nothing to do with him.
Pg 103: Kazuki: (The words Richard-san said to me, are still ringing in my ears) //vrooommm vroommmm// //vrooommmmm// Eri: She's my senpai from when I was still living in Yokohama. She's a year older than us. Girl: "Kazuki"? Girl: I'm "Sayuri". Haha, I know what you're probably thinking. The name doesn't fit the face, right? But my name's Sayuri all the same Sayuri: My old man's out on some business trip somewhere, and he won't be back for about a month. Sayuri: Yeah well anyway, just treat my house like your own. Kazuki: (Sayuri-san's house... was right by Yokohama bay in this huge multi-complex apartment...) //thud thud thud// Girl: Hey! Come on! Don't make so much noise!! Girl: HEY! Sayuri: I have to repeat a year. //thud thud// //KYAAA--!//
Pg 104: Sayuri: So from April, I'm gonna have to take grade 9 all over again. //thud thud// //ROARRRR!// //Quiet down!!// //clank clank// Kazuki: (That night) Sayuri: I don't even want to go to school, you know? Kazuki: (I had to eat a hamburger filled to the brim with bread crumbs) Sayuri: But they made a big deal out of it, and like-- Mother: Well what did you expect? //clank// //ROARRRR// //blows// Mother: You grew up in such a nice environment. How did you end up like this? Sayuri: Shut up, old hag! Girl: Nooooo!!!! Onii-chan's bullying me! Boy: Hey! //slap slap// Mother: How many times do I have to tell you?! //slap// //WAAHHHHH!// //thump thump thump thump// //thud thud// //HAHAHAHAHA!// Sayuri: Get out of my fucking way!

Pg 105: //crunch crunch// //AHAHAHHAHA// Sayuri: Oh yeah, I heard Haruyama-senpai helped you last time when you were in a pinch Kazuki: Ah...yes. //Geezer! Geezer!// Sayuri: Loosen up, you don't have to be polite with me! I kinda envy you. Well, I guess it's a no-brainer he helped you since you're his girl, but did you know? He was pretty popular with the girls back in Yokohama. Sayuri: Everyone kept calling him an moron, but yeah~ Kazuki: (When someone talks about Haruyama I don't know why, but I feel all warm inside) Sayuri: I like guys like him too--- he's really...a man's man, I guess that's the way to put it. Ya know? //ROARRRRR!// Sayuri: And the big guns upstairs seem to like him too, even though he does whatever he wants. [SL: Sayuri: It's pretty funny] //Nooo! Nooo!// //Come on, hand it over!// //thud thud thud// Sayuri: There's even rumours going around that Richard followed him to Shounan even though he used to live here in Yokohama too //KYAAa--!// Sayuri: But, my boyfriend doesn't like him that much. I don't really know why. //AHAHAHAH!// //THUD// Sayuri: When I heard he's actually working down at Shounan, Sayuri: I was surprised... //KYAAA--!// //THUD THUD// //KYAAA--!// Sayuri: Shut up! We can't talk with you being so fuckin' loud!
Pg 106: //vrooommm vroommm// Kazuki: (The rest of the world, was on "Spring Vacation"--- the nights at Shounan were overcrowded with cars...) Kazuki: (Sayuri's boyfriend was ranked the same as Haruyama in the NIGHTS, but he already had his own car, and he took us out to Shounan lots of times.) //honk honk// //vrooommm// Guy: Jesus, watch it! These guys don't even have their driver's licenses! Sayuri: Haha, who are you to say? Guy: I'm different, I know what I'm doing--- //Ah, Kazuki! What's up?// Kazuki: (I feel warm inside, whenever I come out here.) //vrooom vroommmmmm// Sayuri: Ah, Kazuki---your boyfriend showed up!
Pg 107: //vrooom vrooommmm// //vrooommmm// //honk honk!// //AHAHAHA// Kazuki: (He has that look in his eyes, like he's ready to die at any time.)

Guy: Do you wanna get run over?! //HONK HONK// Guy #2: He's been acting pretty fuckin' happy lately, don't ya think? Girl: You think? Why? Guy #2: How the hell should I know? But he's had this fuckin' huge grin plastered on his face.
Pg 110: //screech// Guy: What's with that pipe? Haruyama: I ripped it from the front of that truck just now. //hahaha// Richard: You serious? //noise noise// Guy: Can you believe this guy? //vrooommm// Guy: Shit, that's crazy! Haruyama: So, you're still alive? [SL: Guy: Huh? Oh, Kazuki--!] [SL: Guy: Hey, it's Kazuki~~ Did she go back home already? Yo?] Girl: What? That's it? He doesn't even ask where you're living now? Kazuki: (I won't ever cry in front of you.) //noise noise// //AHAHAHA// Guy: Y..ou....little brattt!!!!
Pg 111: //crash// //teeters// Haruyama: You---- Haruyama: old geezer!! //Whoaaaa~ Cut it out, Haruyama Just let it go! whistle whistle FIGHT FIGHT! whistle whistle// //thump thump thump thump// Guy: You don't see guys like that too often. Guy #2: I've gone at it with him before. Guy: Seriously? //vrooomm vroommm// Guy #2: He ended up knocking my teeth out--- Sayuri: Hahaha! Is that why you hate him? Guy #3: Yeah, yeah! And he was pissed! Guy #2: But he's not a bad guy.
Pg 112: Sayuri: Haha, that doesn't make any sense Guy #2: I guess he's one of those people you just watch from the distance, ya know? If you get too close to him, that's when you get into deep shit. Ya know that guy who always hangs out with him? He's always having to clean up after his shit. Sayuri: Oh, you mean Richard-san? Guy #2: Yeah well, I guess there's no point in being too uptight about stuff like that~ Guy #2: right...? Guy #2: What the fuck you starin' at? You cross eyed or somethin'? Guy #4: Ha! Guy #4: I was just surprised you "NIGHTS" people were still alive. Guy #2: What the fuck's your problem? Guy #4: The guys from "Bakutou" were saying how you guys were a shitty gang. Guy #2: Who the hell's "Bakutou"?! Guy #3: Hey, I've heard of them! They're that gang who's been getting into all sorts of fights at Shinjuku! Guy #4: If you keep acting like you own this fuckin' place you're gonna get your asses kicked. Pass that message on to Tamami---
Pg 113: Guy #2: Who the fuck do you think you are!! //kyaa!// //slam// //honk honk!// //slam slam// Guy: You little fucker! Girl: Kazuki, get down! //HONK// //VROOMMMMM VROOMMMMMM// Guy #4: You 'tards! Don't think you're gonna get away with this! Guy #2: Shit!

Pg 114: //vroommm// Koike: There's no way, we could tell him. [SL: Koike: Shit] Koike: "Bakutou"...huh? Sayuri: Wow, you really don't know anything do you? //rustle rustle// Sayuri: Tooru-san is the leader, but he's the top of the top, ya know? Sayuri: The "NIGHTS" main headquarters is in Yokohama, so he has the guys in charge of Chiba and Kyuushuu coming down there to report to him. //clank clank// Kazuki: ...Oh. Sayuri: You know the Shounan quarters? The guys there are pretty young compared to the rest, and there isn't really anyone you could call the leader of that place, so you guys don't have that much power but unlike the main headquarters, you get to ride, so it made sense Haruyama-senpai went there. //hurry up already!// Kazuki: You can't...ride at the main headquarters? //clank clank// Sayuri: Yah, because they're a pretty huge, so they'd attract attention, ya know? Sayuri: And Tooru-san's too well-known. There's rumours going around that he won't last that much longer.
Pg 115: Sayuri: So I heard he can't go around doing crazy stuff. Kazuki: Really... Sayuri: But the guys at Shounan and the main headquarters are gonna get together next time, right? Koike: Oh, yeah. On the 20th. Koike: Guys who couldn't come last time are gonna show up so it should be pretty big. //haha// Sayuri: There ya go! //yawns// Koike: FINALLY, you're done! //rustle// Koike: You look pretty cool with makeup on. Sayuri: Yeah, I totally agree Kazuki: (The things about me that changed since I left home...) Kazuki: Tooru-san... Kazuki: must really be an amazing person... //hahaha// Sayuri: Yep, no doubt about that! Kazuki: (I learned to have fun in lots of ways...) Koike: Haruyama's the only one who hasn't gotten the shit kicked out of him Koike: for calling Tooru-san by just his first name. Kazuki: (And the way my eyes look...)

Pg 120: Sayuri: What's with that outfit? Eri: Give me a break, we ALL have to wear this! Kazuki: (It was April, and Eri and the others began 9th grade.) Girl: Hey, is that...Miyaichi-san? Girl #2: Is it just me or has she changed..? Eri: Kazuki! You haven't showed up once since we started school again, so lots of people are talking about you! Eri: Even the people in younger grades--! Sayuri: Haha, way to go Kazuki! Sayuri: Eri, you're coming on the 20th, right? Eri: Of course! Sayuri: We're gonna bring the house down, hahaha~ Sayuri: Yeah well, I guess we'll get going. See ya there. [SL: Sayuri: Bye!] //vroommmm// Kazuki: Eri...

Pg 124: //kyaaa! kyaaa!// //what are you two doing?!// //hey! You're going to catch a cold!// //slap// Sayuri: Haha. //wahhhhhh!// Sayuri: Ha. //wahhhh// Sayuri: You get what I'm saying? Kazuki: (It'd be a lie to say I understood 100%... but at that time... my chest felt as if it was being crushed) Sayuri: Don't worry. The others know that you're Tooru-san's favorite, so no matter where you go, they're gonna take good care of you. Sayuri: Oh yeah, what do you wanna wear tomorrow--?

I heard that from Koike too--- //ahaha// Guy: If you leave her like that, she's gonna get even worse //vroommm// //haha, cut it out Kazuki!// Guy: It's because you're still hanging out with that other girl of yours instead of paying attention to her. Haruyama: Whaa--? Oh, you mean Mihoko? Guy: Yeah. Who else could it be? Haruyama: I broke up with her already. Guy: Really?
Pg 133: Guy: Then you should've told her that //haha// Richard: But the reason why you're being that cold towards Kazuki is because of what happened between you and Mihoko, rght? Guy: What, seriously? Richard: You don't have to be so cold to her. Richard: But..she seems like the type to never cry. //yayyyyy! vroommmm// Guy #2: Yeah, I get what you mean. She seems kinda tough Haruyama: Don't talk about her like you know her. Richard: What? Am I wrong? Richard: I thought that's how you saw her... so I told Kazuki. Guy: What'd you say?

Hiroko: I always had bruises all over my body, and when you went into juvie, they did a search where they stripped you naked. Hiroko: And the other girls in the gang did stuff like putting sponge in my food...you know, to make fun of the new girl

Kazuki: (There's something going on that I'm not aware of.) //ring ring// //thump thump thump// Sayuri: Hey, Kazuki? Sayuri: Whew! I was thinking what I was gonna do if Hiroko-san picked up! Kazuki: What? Sayuri: It's me, Sayuri--- Kazuki: Ah-- Sayuri: I still can't believe it--- Sayuri: you're the girlfriend of the next leader of "NIGHTS"--- //rustle rustle//
Pg 153: [no text]
Pg 154: //vroomm// guys: Haru----yama----kunnn! Guy: If you're looking for Haruyama, he's off fooling around in the back Guy #2: Wha! Guys: Haruyama----! //splash splash// [SL: Am I~a girl~] Haruyama: Huh? Haruyama: 'Sup?
Pg 155: //vroom// Haruyama: So..what? Guy: What we're trying to say is, if you go and give your greetings to all of 'em senpai, that'll get them off your back //vroomm// Guy #2: Yeah, yeah! And say stuff like "I'll do my best"! //heh// Haruyama: What~ Why the hell do I have to go around doing stuff like that? Guy: Well--- Haruyama: Who cares who the next leader is? Haruyama: Everyone's just riding, minding their own business anyway--- Haruyama: The newer guys don't even know what Tooru looks like. Guy: Yeah, that's true, but still--- you're not gonna be able to convince the higher ups with that kinda attitude--[SL: Get what I'm tryin' to say ?] Richard: You're not gonna be able to be the leader of "NIGHTS" the way you are now--- Haruyama: Tooru already said he's giving me the 400FOUR, so what else is there to do? Haruyama: Once I get it, I'll let you guys ride with me Guy: Really---! Guy #2: Yeah, and since there's gonna be that group meeting thing for "NIGHTS"... [SL: Guy #3: Oh yeah~]
Pg 156: Richard: Yoooo~~ [SL: Right-o! POW!] Haruyama: What? Richard: Do you really know what you're getting yourself into? Richard: If you make the guys at the main headquarters snap for real... Richard: Maybe you don't care what happens to you, Richard: but you should think about the people around you. Richard: The guys at the Shounan quarters might get some backlash too--- Richard: And you never know, Kazuki might... Richard: She's still 14... Haruyama: Are you tryin' to say that I haven't given it some thought? Richard: What..?
Pg 157: Haruyama: Who the fuck are you to say?! //slam// Guy: Geez... Guy #2: You got him mad... Richard: What's with him! I was just worried about him, and he--- //calm down// Guy #2: Forget him, let's talk about the gang get-together--- Richard: DAMNIT! Guy: If you guys fight, you're gonna lose anyway Richard: GRRRR Guy: Everything'll probably smooth itself out Guy #2: Yeah, to him this probably isn't that big of a deal //thump thump// Sayuri: Yeah, that's why the guys at the main headquarters, and my boyfriend--- those that are around the same age as him are pretty cool with it Sayuri: they're more like getting a laugh out of it Sayuri: but the higher ups, you know... Sayuri: they're saying that they can't have someone his age be the leader...
Pg 158: Sayuri: Yeah, because like you know how they've been getting some probs with the gang down at Shinjuku... Sayuri: I heard the guys at Yokohama are having a really tough time because of it--- Sayuri: I phoned because I was just worried about you--- //thump thump// //splash splash// //gulp/ //step step step// //knock knock// //tense// //step step step step//
Pg 159: //step step// //click// Haruyama: ah--- Haruyama: Did someone come by? Kazuki: (I can't believe it) Kazuki: Oh...there's been a lot of phone calls for Hiroko-san. //clank// Haruyama: No, I meant while you were here alone Kazuki: No Haruyama: Oh really...
Pg 160: Kazuki: Are you really...going to take over "NIGHTS"? //chirp chirp// Haruyama: Yeah Haruyama: Pretty impressive, huh? Kazuki: (How can he be laughing at a time like this?) Haruyama: Are you scared? Kazuki: What? Haruyama: If you're scared, you can stop being my girlfriend. //splash splash// //clank// Kazuki: What...are you...saying?
Pg 161: Haruyama: I'm being serious here. //thump thump// Haruyama: What do you wanna do? Kazuki: Haruyama... Kazuki: Aren't you scared? Haruyama: Me? Why would I be? Kazuki: Then I'm not scared either. //haha// Haruyama: You're weird, you know that? Haruyama: If I--- was a girl, I wouldn't want a guy like me.
Pg 162: Haruyama: I'm stupid, I snap easily, Haruyama: I get into a lot of fights, Haruyama: I won't say anything about my face though. [SL: Kazuki: Haha, idiot!] Haruyama: I like my bike more than I do eatin', and I'm not rolling in dough, //splash splash// Haruyama: and I Haruyama: make girls cry Haruyama: over stupid things. Kazuki: I... Kazuki: won't cry. Kazuki: I'll never cry over someone like you. Haruyama: Okay. That's the spirit! Keep that up! //tap// //splash splash//
Pg 163: //chhirp chirp// //thud// Haruyama: C'mon, let me do you! //ahahhahaha// Kazuki: (The truth is, I'm so scared I don't even know what to do.) Haruyama: Let's go out. Haruyama: Oh--- Haruyama: and you..should start going to school again. Haruyama: And, Haruyama: you should phone back home once in a while. Kazuki: (What got into him... Why is he so nice all of a sudden?) Kazuki: (Him saying that might actually convince me to go to school, and phone my mom.) [SL: Kazuki: What're you writing? Haruyama: A message for Hiroko~ Haruyama: Hey! Don't look! I'm writing a love letter~~ Kazuki: What?!?]
Pg 164: [letter reads:
To Hiroko: I've kidnapped Kazuki. If you wanna get her back, have some dinner ready and wei [crosses out "wei"] wait for us. Haruyama] //vroommm// Kazuki: (Shounan Bay during the Golden Week, was packed, it was almost like a festival) //vroommm// //hahahaha// //slap slap slap// //ahahahhaa// //vroommm// Kazuki: (I wonder how many people here know about what's going on in "NIGHTS" right now) Guy: Thanks for earlier, Haruyama. Guy: Hey, you guys seem to be getting along pretty well--- Kazuki: (Haruyama didn't seem to know about "Bakutou" so I didn't say anything) Kazuki: (...I'm scared)
Pg 166: Richard: Eh... ah---- Richard: Just go over there. Haruyama: What~ Guy: Hey Haruyama, wanna ride? Haruyama: Yeah, sure. Richard: Er...how can I help you? Guy #2: The "Bakutou" guys from Shinjuku are gonna come and crush us Richard: What?! Guy #2: Haven't you heard of them? Richard: Well...I've heard the name a couple of times... Guy #2: We can't find Tooru-san anywhere, and the past higher-ups are saying to ignore 'em. Guy #2: Watch over that idiot to make sure he doesn't try anything. [sign on Haruyama's back reads "that idiot"]
Pg 167: //ahahhaa// //vrooom vroomm// Guy: HAHAHAHA //vrooommmm// //vroom// [SL: Guy: What! Seriously?!] //whisper whisper// Richard: Hey, Kazuki! //ahahaha// Richard: Do you think Haruyama knows about "Bakutou"? Kazuki: No, I don't think he does. Guy: Yeah! If he did, there's no way he'd be fooling around like that Richard: Hey, how'd you find out anyway, Kazuki? //vrooom vroommm// Kazuki: I heard from someone... that they were calling the "NIGHTS" a shitty gang Guy: WHATTT! //SHHHHH!!!// //whisper whisper// Guy: Fuck, you gotta be kidding me! Guy #2: Why the fuck aren't we fighting 'em head on? Guy #3: What are they like? Guy: They got about 15 guys Guy #2: 15?! Guy: Yeah, and they're all on bikes. Guy: But I heard they're really fucked up, they're going around getting into fights with anyone. Guy #4: If they heard about a fight going on somewhere, they head straight for it. Guy #2: Whoa! Guy: So what? We can take 'em on! Richard: Yeah, but do we really have to? It'd be a waste of time Richard: Let's just ride in peace, ya know?
Pg 168: Guy: Things are just really messed up right now, so if we get into shit with them, it'll probably keep on for a long time //vrooommm// Guy: I doubt I'd be able to hold him back Guy #2: I'll probably just skip the whole thing //ahahaha// //vrooommm// Haruyama: What were you guys talking about earlier? //clank clank// //step step// /vrooommmm// //vrooommm// Kazuki: What? Haruyama: Is there something you guys're keepin' from me? Kazuki: No---! [SL: Kazuki: Ah! What's that?] Haruyama: So what? You guys're just forming your own little group without me? //clank clank// //step step// Kazuki: No, we aren't--- Haruyama: If you don't tell me, I'm not gonna give you a ride home Kazuki: Well, I can just take the train home! Haruyama: You little--- ah---! //clank clank//
Pg 169: //step step// Kazuki: Ahahahaha Haruyama: Then--- Haruyama: I'm not gonna let you go home unless you tell me! Haruyama: Haha! You're gonna get Hiroko pissed~ //snap// //step step// //kick// Haruyama: AHHH! Haruyama: What the fuck did you do that for--- Kazuki: Kyaa! Kazuki: NOO!

Kazuki: ...Ah
Pg 171: //thud// //chuckles// Kazuki: Tooru-sa.... Haruyama: You go find my other shoe. Haruyama: Come on, get to it! Or what, you too ugly for the job? Kazuki: Whattt!!! Haruyama: Hahaha Haruyama: Tooru //leans// Haruyama: Give me the 400FOUR already Haruyama: Come on, hand it over.

Pg 173: Haruyama: Did...something happen? Tooru: What? Not really... Haruyama: Go home to Hiroko sometime. [SL: Tooru: haha] Tooru: And who gave you the right to order me around like that? Haruyama: Haha, no one really //vrooom vroom// Kazuki: (I'm so scared I can't stand it) //vroom vroomm// //ring ring//

Guy: I've heard quite a lot about "NIGHTS" from your rivals //vrooommm// Guy: I heard you're having a huge get together, but before that happens, we're going to crush you. Remember that. //hahahaha! //whistles//

Kazuki: (My mom doesn't know anything.) Kazuki: (She doesn't know what I'm going through.) Kazuki: (Not one bit) //vrooom vroom// Kazuki: I'll.. Kazuki: give her a call...
Pg 180: Haruyama: Come here for a sec Richard: Why---? Haruyama: Why didn't you say anything? Richard: Because I knew it'd do you no good Haruyama: Why would you say that? Guy: The guys from the main head quarters are saying to ignore 'em, so what else can we do? Haruyama: I'm gonna do it //THUMP// [SL: Guy: I knew it!] Guy #2: We know how you feel, but do you know anything about 'em? //vroom vroom// //HAHAHA// Guy: They're not just getting into groups to hang around and ride //hahahaha// //vroommmmmmmm vroommm// Guy: They only have 15 people and they're tryin' to take "NIGHTS" on, so they've got a lot of guts Haruyama: 15?! //vroommm// Guy: Yeah, that's how many are in that gang
Pg 181: Guy: And there's lots of gangs saying they'll help us out if they try to start somethin' Haruyama: O--kay--- Guy #2: Yeah! So for numbers, we got it down, no prob. Haruyama: Yeah, but it's more fun this way--- Haruyama: Let's take 'em on //thump// Guy: Don't look at us like that--- The guys at Yokohama are holding back too--- Who's fault do you think it is anyway? It's because there's that whole thing with you---
Haruyama: It's because you guys're like that they're fucking around with us like this Haruyama: Fuck, they probably think we're just a bunch of fuckin' pussies--- Haruyama: I'm gonna fuckin' kill 'em. //thump thump// Eri: Hey, what's going on? //vroom vroommm// Guy: Hey, Haruyama--- Guy: We should just hold off Guy #2: It's not like some mickey fight, ya know? [sign reads "Shinjuku Bakutou"] Richard: Even though they only have 15 guys--- they went around making a name of themselves--- by sticking their heads into any fights they could get their hands on.
Pg 182: Richard: They have nothing to fear Haruyama: Who the fuck cares? Let's just do it, got it? //thump// Richard: There's actually some guys in "NIGHTS" who're going to school, and working--- Richard: If we make a wrong move, we might all 'end up in juvie. Is that what you want? Guy: We're thinking about our lives here. That's a lot more than could be said of you. Haruyama: If you're scared, just say so. Guy: What'd you just say---?! Haruyama: But isn't that what it comes down to? Haruyama: If you're gonna be shakin' in your pants the whole time, why the fuck'd you join "NIGHTS" in the first place?

Title: Hot Road Volume: 1 (of 4) Mangaka: Tsumugi Taku Translated by: Oceansportrait Proofread by: Mars Translation Completed: July 7, 2007
Narrator: The blue road of sunrise. The red tail lamp. The passing glance of a thin figure, fading off into the distance. Just once more, I wish I could meet with those people from back then.
Pg 2: Narrator: (Just once more...) HOT ROAD Tsumugi Taku
Pg 3: Miyaichi: (Today is my mom's birthday) //rattle rattle clank// Woman: You thieves!!
Pg 4: Girl: Wahhhh! Girl: Uuu.... Woman: Stealing other people's things puts you on the same level as burglars! //bang// Woman #2: Yes, that's right. It's for shoplifting. //noise noise// //ring ring// [SL: Woman: Yes, this is the police---] Woman: You had some nerve! Going out and stealing all these goods! Woman: What makes you think you can steal other people's things?! Miyaichi: (Shut up...) Woman: What are you going to do about this?! Girl: Wahhhh---! Woman: ...Yes, they're in Grade 8. Their last names are Miyaichi and Nozawa.... yes, of course. They're students from your middle school. Woman: Yes, I understand. Please come here as soon as you can. Woman: Teenagers these days... Woman: Your teacher will be arriving here shortly. //wahhh//
Pg 5: Woman: We've contacted your parents as well. [SL: Girl: No!] Woman: You don't have the right to say "no"! You're the one who committed the crime! //uuuuuu...// Woman: Crying will do you no good! //thump// Woman: You... Woman: You've been acting pretty high-and-mighty since we brought you in--- //ring ring// //wahhh// //noise noise// Miyaichi: (Today is my mom's birthday.)
Pg 6: Yukko's Mother: Oh no, Yukko-chan! Yukko: Kyaaa---! Mom! [SL: Woman #3: Kaoru!] Miyaichi: (Old hag.) Teacher: I'm extremely sorry for taking so long to get here... Woman: Are you her teacher? Teacher: Ah, yes! Yukko's Mother: Um...are you sure there isn't some kind of mistake? My daughter isn't the type to do something like this! Woman: These days, even the quiet ones go around committing crimes like this. Yukko's Mother: Oh! Teacher: I'm very sorry, but I haven't been able to get in touch with Miyaichi Kazuki's mother because she is away at work... Woman: It’s fine, as long as you make sure to discuss with her directly about the seriousness of this crime. Yukko's Mom: I knew it---It's because you're hanging around the wrong people! Since Kazuki-chan's mom is a single mother, she probably doesn't have the time to take care of her daughter well! Yukko: Mom! That's horrible! It's not Kazuki-chan's fault! Yukko's Mom: B-But...I'm so sad, that I... Yukko: Get a grip, mom! Teacher: I'll make sure to discuss this with Miyaichi's mother... Woman: All right. This time around, we will let your school handle this. Miyaichi: (I...)
Pg 7: Teacher: Thank you very much. Miyaichi: (I only wanted that pig-character pen...) Woman: Please make sure this never happens again. Teacher: Yes... Teacher: Let's go, Miyaichi-san... Miyaichi: (So...it was 300 Yen...) //clank// Teacher: You don't have to take what Nozawa-san's mother said seriously. Teacher: It's not like your mother leaves you alone because she wants to. Teacher: She's been going at it alone for twelve years, ever since your father passed away when you were 2.
Pg 8: Miyaichi: My mom's....not alone. She's had a lover since a long time ago. A rich one. //noise noise// Teacher: Ah... Ah... Ah... Teacher: Oh...really? Teacher: Ah! Teacher: Do you know this song, Miyaichi-san? Teacher: It's Brahm's "Serenade". Have you heard it before? Miyaichi: (I like her because...) (I find it funny how she's always trying her hardest.) Teacher: Oh, I almost forgot. Lately, you've been skipping Chorus Club, haven't you? Miyaichi: (It's not that I'm making fun of everyone at the Chorus Club because of the way they open their mouths...)
Pg 9: Miyaichi: (It's just...watching them...) Teacher: Why don't you give the club another try? Let's all sing together again! Teacher: Then...you won't feel lonely. Miyaichi: Teacher, //gulp// Miyaichi: Are you taking stomach medicine again? Teacher: Eh..? Yup.... //hahahahaha// Teacher: Miyaichi...san? Teacher: Cut your bangs.
Pg 11: Miyaichi: (She's in a good mood today) Mom: Today's dinner...is fried shrimp. Two minutes...in the microwave, okay? Miyaichi: (Even though she's 35....this person...is always moody...) Miyaichi: Poo... Miyaichi: (always the princess...) Mom: Haha... Miyaichi: (and is always selfish...) Mom: You're such a gross child... Miyaichi: (When she meets with her lover, she always listens to this song)
Pg 12: Miyaichi: (Today is my mom's birthday) Miyaichi: Mom? Miyaichi: (I'll give this... To you as a present...) Miyaichi: Today, Miyaichi: I got caught for shoplifting. Miyaichi: Didn't anyone call you? Mom: .... ...I don't know...
Pg 13: Mom: I was working somewhere else today. Miyaichi: Yukko-chan's mom was saying what a terrible mother you are, for not coming to pick up your kid at a time like this. Miyaichi: (Isn't she going to say anything?) Miyaichi: Bye. See you tomorrow. //clank// Miyaichi: (Creep.)
Pg 14: //slam// Miyaichi: (Ah, I said something weird.) (I didn't shoplift because I wanted my mom to come pick me up, like in those TV dramas.) Miyaichi: (Shit---) Miyaichi: (Eri said, that it doesn't matter whether you have parents or not. That has nothing to do with a child's downfall) [SL: Miyaichi: Damnit] //rumble rumble// Miyaichi: (Today in the staff room, the teachers became nervous after watching news involving middle schoolers) //bounce bounce// //rumble rumble// Yukko: Hey, Kazuki-chan? Did your mom get pissed at you?
Pg 15: Miyaichi: No. She didn't say anything. Miyaichi: I didn't even talk to her this morning. [SL: Yukko: Really!? You're so lucky!] Miyaichi: Me? Lucky? Yeah right. Miyaichi: It creeps me out. Miyaichi: What about you? Yukko: It was a nightmare! All they did was yell! And I even lied that it was my first time stealing stuff! //hahaha// //bounce bounce// //swish// Miyaichi: Ah... Eri: Were you in the principle's room earlier? //thump// Miyaichi: (Eri came here from Yokohama three months ago...) Miyaichi: Yup.
Pg 16: Eri: That's so lame---- Eri: Well, it's not like I knew why you were in there anyway. Miyaichi: (She hasn't fit in well here because she has a bit of a rebellious streak to her.) Miyaichi: (I heard she still hasn't made any friends.) Eri: Kazuki--- Eri: Let's go out Eri: sometime--- Eri: There's someone I want you to meet. Eri: Her name's Hiroko-san, and she's a senpai I had back in Yokohama. [SL: senpai=upper classman] Eri: She's so cool!
Pg 17: Eri: And her boyfriend is so unbelievably cool---! Eri: Next time, I might get a chance to meet him! Miyaichi: (If only she didn't act so tough, she'd be popular with the guys.) Miyaichi: Yup, sure. //rumble// [SL: Eri: AHAHAHAHA! Eri: What was that?!] Miyaichi: I'm just hungry... Miyaichi: I haven't eaten anything since yesterday...
Pg 18: Yukko: She's wearing that red training suit again. Yukko: Hey, Kazuki-chan. Yukko: Why do you talk to Eri? Miyaichi: What? Yukko: Eri. She's supposed to be wearing navy blue for PE. //rumble rumble// Yukko: Have you heard? Yukko: There are rumours going around that while she was at her last school, she had an abortion!
Pg 19: Yukko: I was really surprised when I first heard about that! Yukko: But then again, she does seem to be the kind to do stuff like that. Yukko: And everyone's saying how all the teachers have given up on her already. Yukko: And her hair! It's a perm, isn't it? Yukko: And her socks are so bright coloured! I never wear socks like that unless I'm at home! //noise noise noise// Yukko: You can probably imagine what kind of person Eri's "senpai" is---
Pg 20: Yukko: she might be doing drugs, you never know. Yukko: Do you get what I'm trying to get at? You shouldn't meet with her senpai. Yukko: And you shouldn't hang around Yukko: with Eri anymore. Yukko: Come on, are you listening to me? I'm saying this for your..sake...
Pg 21: Miyaichi: Shut the hell up. //push// Yukko: Kyaaa--! //clank smash thud// Miyaichi: IDIOT! [SL: Yukko: Who are you saying that to?!]
Pg 22: Yukko: Geez! You snap so easily! //slam// Guy: Hey, did you see that?! We should start calling her "Sukeban Deka"! Yukko: Kazuki-chan----are you going to become an outlaw?! [SL: Yukko: Oh, yeah. Yukko: Maybe she's mad because she's hungry?] Miyaichi: (Retards.) Miyaichi: (So you're saying that what you're doing is so much better than what everyone else is doing?) Miyaichi: Eri---- Miyaichi: Eri--- Miyaichi: Eri---
Pg 24: [SL: Miyaichi: Lalala] Miyaichi: (At my house, there are no pictures of my dad.) //click// Miyaichi: (It's because, he's someone my mom was forced to marry.) Miyaichi: (The lover, who she's known since high school, has a wife.) [SL: And all at once! Nyaa--! Nyaaa--!] Miyaichi: (He's going through divorce proceedings right now, or so I heard.)
Pg 25: [SL: Miyaichi: AHAHAHA!] Miyaichi: (This apartment...) Miyaichi: (is probably rented with that person's money...) (That is what this 14 year old girl believes...) [SL: Miyaichi: Ahahaha...//chuckles// //giggles//] Miyaichi: Ahahahahaha--- //Gyaaa---! Gyaaa--!//
pg 26: //AHAHAHAHA// Miyaichi: Damnit... Miyaichi: Shit, it won't break.

Pg 28: //click// Eri: Hello? It's me, Eri. Miyaichi: Ah--- Eri: I know this is out of the blue, but can you come and meet me right now? I found out that I'll be able to meet Hiroko-san today! And we might even be able to meet Tooru-san too...so please? Come with? //clank clank clank// Eri: Hiroko-san's--- Eri: 17 right now, but she's so scary that a person like me wouldn't have been able to talk to her, but since she was my older sister's friend--- Miyaichi: Really...? Miyaichi: (My heart's beating really fast...)
Pg 29: Eri: Ahh! There she is! Miyaichi: (This is the town at night that I've never seen...) (and she's a person who I've never met...) Eri: Ah, Hiroko-san! This is the girl I talked to you about over the phone! She's the closest friend I have at my new school! Miyaichi: Ah... Good...evening... Hiroko: Nice to meet you. Miyaichi: (My heart's beating really fast...) Hiroko: Okay, then I guess we'll get going. Eri: Yay! Are we going to where Tooru-san is? Hiroko: Yup.
Pg 30: Miyaichi: ("Hiroko-san" really did seem like an amazing person...) [sign reads "Taxi Pick-Up"] Hiroko: If some creeps there try to talk to you, Hiroko: never say you're 14. Hiroko: Make sure to say you're 16, okay? Miyaichi: (Maybe, just maybe... we might be on our way being taken to a scary place...) Hiroko: And one more thing. Hiroko: Never leave my side. //thump thump thump// Miyaichi: (But) [SL: Eri: Roger---!] Miyaichi: (today, I feel like I can put my faith in Eri and this person named Hiroko-san...) Hiroko: Is he here?
Pg 31: Eri: Hahaha---did you see that just now?! Everyone's greeting Hiroko-san! Eri: It's so cool! Miyaichi: (Guys I've never met before... Girls I've never met before...) Hiroko: Any luck? Girl: No, sorry. No one's seen him today. Eri: Eh? Tooru-san's not here? Hiroko: Yeah, looks like it. Eri: Awww! And I thought I'd FINALLY be able to meet him today---
Pg 32: Hiroko: Mister, mind going to Shounan? Eri: What?! We're going back already? Hiroko: No. Girl: Hey, Hiroko, I'm going to hang around here for a bit. Sorry. [SL: Hiroko: Don't worry about it] Eri: I'm really sorry, to make you have to take us around like this Hiroko: It's not like I had anything better to do. Anyway, we're going to where Haruyama works. Eri: Eh?! Haruyama-senpai?! Haruyama-senpai's at Shounan right now? Hiroko: Yeah, since a while back. Eri: Kazuki----Kazuki---this is awesome! We get to see Haruyama-senpai!
Pg 33: Eri: He's really really REALLY cool--- //hahaha// Miyaichi: What are you saying, Eri? //giggles// Eri: Eh? Eri: But he is! Everyone really IS cool! Eri: C-Cut it out Kazuki, don't laugh---- Eri: R-Right, Hiroko-san?! Hiroko: Oh, Haruyama? Yeah, he's a pretty interesting character. Eri: He's still...16, right? Hiroko: Yeah, he's a year younger than me. Eri: He's Tooru-san's favorite, right?!
pg 34: Hiroko: It's probably because they're so alike. Eri: Yeah, that's why everyone's says Eri: if you get Haruyama-senpai mad, you'd be in big trouble. Miyaichi: (Really...so that must mean Tooru-san really is an incredible person...) Miyaichi: (Ah...Shounan...) Miyaichi: It's my first time seeing it like this... Eri: No way--! But you live right near here! Miyaichi: Yeah, it's because I've never gone out so late at night Miyaichi: in all my 14 years.
Pg 35: Girl: Ah, mister. Here's fine. Miyaichi: Oh, the money... Girl: You dork, forget about it. [SL: Miyaichi: Eh?] Miyaichi: (It's strange...) [SL: Eri: Thank you very much!] Hiroko: Yeah. Let's go. //slam// Miyaichi: (Even though it's right near my house...) Miyaichi: (This feels strange...)
Pg 36: Eri: Ah---there he is! Haruyama: Not like that! Haruyama: Where the hell are you looking?! //vroom vroom// //swerve swerve// Haruyama: All you have to do is back up here! Haruyama: Can't you even do something as simple as that?! Hiroko: Haha, looks like he's still working. Just wait here. Eri: Hehe! I told you he's scary when he gets mad, right? Miyaichi: Yeah. Eri: Looks like they finally figured it out!
Pg 37: Miyaichi: (He's a guy I've never met) Haruyama: Which way are you leaving? Girl: Eh? Oh, the left. //vrooom// Haruyama: Thank you very much! //vrooom// Girl: Hey...that guy just now... Girl: what a weirdo---
Pg 38: Miyaichi: (He's the kind of guy you couldn't find at my school) Haruyama: Eri-chan----! Come here! Eri: Hehehe! He just called me Eri-chan! Eri: Let's go! Miyaichi: I'm okay. Eri: Eh? Miyaichi: He only called you out. Eri: Come on, what are you--- Miyaichi: Really. I'm fine here. Miyaichi: I'll stay. Miyaichi: (I'm no good with guys.) Eri: Are you sure?! I'm going! Miyaichi: Go. Eri: Okay, then I'll be back in a sec! Miyaichi: (It's because there isn't a man in my family.) Eri: Good evening! Haruyama: How's your sister doing? Eri: She's doing great! Haruyama: Ah, Hiroko. You can go ahead inside.
Pg 39: Eri: You called her "Hiroko"! [SL: Kyaaa-! Kya--!] [SL: Hiroko: Hey mister!] Haruyama: Who's that? Haruyama: She's pretty cute. Let me talk to her. Eri: Eh----! Kazuki's soo lucky! //hahaha// Hiroko: There's no use being jealous--- Hiroko: he has a girlfriend already. //vroom// Haruyama: What are you looking at?
Pg 40: //vroom// Haruyama: How old are you? //vrooom// Miyaichi: Fourt... een.... Haruyama: Oh really?
Pg 41: Haruyama: What's your name? //vroom// Haruyama: What? Are you mute or something? //snap// Miyaichi: (What's the use in telling you my name? Id--iot!)
Pg 42: Miyaichi: (Go back already) Haruyama: Things aren't going well Haruyama: at your house, are they? Miyaichi: What the hell's your problem?! That's none of your damn business! Haruyama: Oh really---
Pg 47: //vroom vroom vroom// Eri: Hi, it's me Eri! Eri: What happened back there?! Eri: Haruyama-senpai said it was the first time a girl ever hit him!
Pg 48: Eri: Hiroko-san laughed saying Eri: you'd be someone Tooru-san would like! Eri: Hey, she said she'd definitely introduce us to him next time! Eri: Oh, and I think I forgot to tell to this, Eri: but Tooru-san's---
Pg 49: Eri: the head of a motorcycle gang. Miyaichi: (No one asked why I'd shoplifted.)
