Nothing less of my Keita! Having such a big picture in the paper!

When you didn't even let a out a scream after getting hit by such a horrible dead ball. ---Yeah... She's a bad girl. // Stuck up and selfish... She can't even honestly say thanks when she feels grateful... ----Right, right! // I knew you would see it different than the other boys! // I just don't get it why that stupid girl's so popular! Haha... // Calling her stupid is going too far, isn't it? You think?
Page 26
I'm sure she had some beauty operation. // Her cuteness isn't normal. // ---Or actually, if you look closely she's pretty ugly. Okay, // let's go, Hirayama. Yes. The finals----
