27) 1: And you didn’t drink your milk today? 2: But I didn’t want to. 3: You have to drink it, in order to make your skin sleek and shiny! 4: You need to grow up into a beautiful young woman! 5: But I don’t care if I’m beautiful or not. 6: What?! Look at your mother’s face! 7: I’ve had these blemishes on my face ever since I was born. No one ever talked to me… so I had to live my entire life hiding from people. 8: I was never able to get married… But I still wanted a child, no matter what, so my only choice was to have you with some stranger I didn’t even know… 9: Stop it, mother! I don’t care about that! 10: No! You’re all I have to live for! I’m so excited to see you grow up! 11: It’s alright! I know exactly how you feel! I know I’ll be able to make you happy, mother!
28) 1: I’ll grow up fine without you having to worry. I don’t really care if I become beautiful or not, though. 2: I’d rather exercise a lot and be really healthy! 3: Ahhh! 4: Wh-what’s wrong, mother?! 5: Wh-where did that cut on your face come from?! 6: Oh, this? I smacked into Ryouko’s hand when I was playing volleyball. 7: What?! Ryouko cut your face?! 8: Um… But you don’t need to worry. It’s no big deal.

55) 1: J-just what kind of research is the doctor on the second floor doing? What kind of relationship do they have? I heard that he’s been her doctor ever since she was a child… 2: He’s been on the second floor ever since I was a baby, and rarely ever comes out. 3: Ahh!! 4: Blood!!

Just as long as you’re in good health… 5: Now, get up. We need to prepare for the celebration. 6: Huh? Celebration? 7: What celebration… 8: It’s still really early in the morning… 9: A celebration for me. 10: For you? 11: Yes. So I want you to celebrate for me as well.
60) 1: Up until now, I was a bad mother. I got angry at the slightest thing, 2: and I even beat your friend Ryouko… But now I don’t have to do things like that anymore. I’m going to become a truly gentle person. 3: The doctor’s experiments were a success. Sfx: creak
61) 1: He’ll be here soon. 2: What?! 3: The doctor too?! 4: I don’t want to see him! He scares me! 5: What did you just say?! 6: But he’s always worked so hard for me. 7: What’s taking him so long? Let me call the second floor. 8: Oh, here he comes! Look. Sfx: klak x4 9: I’m going to school!

64) 1: Sakura said she was afraid of you and went off running to school. 2: They’re talking. 3: I know. I’m going to go up into the room on the second floor and find out the truth once and for all. Sfx: creak
65) 1: Here’s the room. Sfx: creak Sfx: creaaaaaaaak
66) Sfx: creaaaaaak x2 Sfx: creak

73) 1: Uuuuuu!!
74) 1: Ahhh!!
75) 1: Wh-what… 2: Wh-what… 3: i-is this?! 4: It’s just my size!
76) 1: C-could this be mine… 2: Then that one must be…
80) 1: Hello… 2: Doctor… About what we spoke of… 3: I don’t think I can wait until the day we agreed on. It seems like Sakura’s already big enough, so we should transplant my brain into hers at once!!
81) 1: Then Sakura’s beautiful face and body will be all mine! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this?! This is why I worked so hard to raise her without ever letting her get injured…
82) 1: That’s the reason I gave birth to her in the first place!! 2: It’s also why I was able to retain my sanity for so long!! Are you listening to me, doctor?!
83) 1: Hello?! 2: This is why… 3: I gave birth… 4: to Sakura!! Sfx: clang
89) 1: Hmph!! 2: Ahh!! 3: Everything I said just now was the truth, Sakura! That’s why I gave birth to you! 4: And now I’ve run out of patience!!
90) 1: Gyaaaaahhh!! 2: Ho ho ho! 3: Ho ho ho!! Sfx: ho ho ho
91) 1-4: Uuuuu!
92) 1: Gyaaaahh!! 2: Sakura, it looks like you have a fever. 3: That’s what you get for going up to the second floor without permission.
93) 1: You cannot get sick! Soon, we’ll give you some anesthesia, and you’ll fall asleep, and it’ll all be over. 2: You just need to keep sleeping. I’ll let you eat lots of delicious food, you know. 3: I called the school and said you were sick today. 4: And look! I’ve almost finished the clothes you’ll wear during the brain surgery. 5: Mother!! 6: You’ve gone crazy, haven’t you?!
94) 1: Ho ho ho! Absolutely not!! 2: It may be an extraordinary situation, but I assure you that I haven’t gone the slightest bit crazy. 3: This has been my plan from the very beginning, 4: after talking to my doctor. 5: This is why I gave birth to you. 6: Sakura… 7: Sorry, but you don’t get to have your own life. 8: Understand? 9-10: Mother!!
95) 1: I don’t want you to run away, so I tied you up. Is it too tight? 2: I wouldn’t want this cloth to leave any marks on your hands. 3: Now, time to measure you one more time. 4: La la la! 5: It’s always so much fun to measure how tall you are. I always measured you wondering how much longer I’d have to wait. 6: The biggest problem was always the size of your head. 7: After all, we’re going to put my brain in there!
96) Sfx: Uwaaaahhh 1: But you’ve finally gotten big enough, so we no longer have anything to worry about. 2: Whenever I bought you hats, I’d always try them on myself later to see how big your head had gotten… 3: But I’m sick of all the charades. It feels so much better now that I’ve told you everything. 4: Did you see the picture of that beautiful woman on the second floor? That’s a picture of me when I was young! 5: That story I told about me always having this scar on my face was a lie! It was all a lie! I told you nothing but lies and put on an act for your entire life! But no more! I’m tired of all that! 6: I was more beautiful than anyone! Everyone in Japan admired me! I was a beautiful star!
97) 1: But now that things are the way they are, I can’t trust you anymore. I’ll go grab it and show it to you. 2: La la la! 3: La la! 4: Motherrrr! 5: Waahhh! 6: Someone, help!! 7: Ahhh!! Sfx: chomp
101) 1: I knew you would try to escape, Sakura! 2: So I stood here outside and waited for you! 3: Now, let’s go back inside.
102) Sfx: slam 1: Sakura… Look at this picture. You can immediately tell who it is, can’t you?
103) 1: Yes. 2: That’s right… This is Wakakusa Izumi, the star who’s still famous these days. 3: This is your mother.
104) 1: You can see the resemblance, can’t you? 2: Look! 3: Motherrr!! Stop it!! 4: You don’t believe me, do you? 5: Uuuuu!!
105) 1: Maybe you really do think I’ve gone crazy! I can understand it, though, seeing as how I’ve become so fat and ugly!! Sfx: crack Sfx: stomp 2: Kyaaahh! 3: But soon, I’ll be able to put this all in the past. 4: Then I’ll be able to start my entire life over again!
106) 1: In your body… 2: Kyaaahh!! 3: It’s no use crying. No one outside will be able to hear you. I made sure to investigate everything when I bought this house. 4: Now, go back and lay in bed. Sfx: creak 5: My sweet, precious Sakura… 6: I’ll tie you more gently this time. 7: That should do it.
107) 1: It won’t be good for your body if you scream too much, so I’ll inject you with the anesthesia the doctor gave me. 2: No! Don’t!! 3: It’ll only hurt for a second, Sakura. Sfx: pssht 4: Mother!! 5: Aaahhhh!! 6: This will relax you in no time.
108) 1: Aaahhh!! 2: Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! 3: La la la! 4: La la la laaaa!
110) 1: Farewell. 2: We were together for a long time… 3: But it’s almost time for us to part. 4: Then, I’ll become a beautiful young girl and restart my life. I’m never going to work as an actress again!! All I want is to be a normal girl.
111) 1: I’m going to marry a loyal man and life out my life as a happy woman! Sfx: ding dong 2: Someone’s here.
112) 1: Do you have business here too? 2: Huh? 3: Yes. My friend Sakura lives here! 4: She’s sick and wasn’t able to come to school today, so I came to visit her! 5: Umm… Why are you here? 6: I have some business with her mother. Sfx: creak
113) 1: I came here to talk about your inheritance. 2: What? But I told you to come tomorrow. 3: Oh well. Please come inside. 4: Oh and Ryouko? You came to visit Sakura, I presume? 5: Unfortunately, she’s asleep right now. 6: Oh, it’s OK… I just want to see her face for a moment. Please let me see her. 7: OK. Come this way, you two.
114) 1: Sakura’s in here. 2: Sakura…
115) 1: Please don’t speak to her. 2: Would you mind doing the inheritance paperwork in here? I don’t want to leave Sakura’s side. 3: Now, I’d like you to take everything that’s in my name and put it in Sakura’s name. 4: What? Everything? 5: Yes. It’ll all be hers eventually, so I just figured I’d get it over with now. 6: Besides, I’ll be traveling overseas soon, which means Sakura will be left here all by herself. 7: Overseas?
116) 1: Yes. My only dream has always been to travel overseas. 2: I don’t want to live in Japan anymore. If you look at my face, you should be able to figure out why. I’ve already convinced Sakura that this is the best decision as well. 3: And I’ve already got my passport! 4: Sakura’s homeroom teacher will take care of her in my absence. 5: I see. In that case, I’ll start working on the paperwork at once. 6: Sakura opened her eyes.
117) 1: Huh?! 2: What? 3: What did you say?
118) 1: What?! 2: Is something wrong?
119) 1: Sakura’s trying to say something. 2: What? 3: Her fever must be causing her pain.
120) 1: I’ll have to give her another injection. 2: Ryouko, can you stand back for a moment? 3: OK. 4: I don’t want to give you too many injections, because it’ll end up leaving marks on your body… 5: But I suppose I have no choice. Sfx: pssht
121) 1: She fell asleep. 2: I think I’ll get going now. 3: Oh, really? Thank you so much for coming to visit her. I’m sure she fell asleep so quickly because seeing your face put her at ease. 4: Sakura won’t be returning to school until she gets better, but please tell everyone not to worry. I’m sure she’ll be back in good health in no time.
122) 1: Please keep being a good friend to her when that time comes. 2: O-OK… 3: Now, if you’ll excuse me. 4: The way she said that, it almost sounded like she was the one who’d be coming back to school… 5: And it really seemed like Sakura’s lips were saying ‘help’…
123) 1: But she probably only said that because of her fever.
124) Sfx: klak x4
125) 1: That’s the sound of the doctor walking around on the second floor. Sfx: klak 2: He’s finally agreed to do the surgery! 3: Now, eat up. You haven’t eaten anything for the past three days. 4: Ohh!! And look how emaciated your beautiful face has become!! 5: Y-you poor thing!! You poor thing!! My sweet, poor Sakura!!
126) 1: Try to eat just a little. 2: Uuu!! 3: Aaahhh!! 4: Uuuuu!! Sfx: gulp 5: St-stop iiiiit! 6: No, I won’t. I’m going to make you eat no matter what it takes. 7: Otherwise you won’t be able to withstand the surgery. It’s going to begin tonight.
127) 1: Gehhhhh!! 2: Why do you want to put your brain inside me?! 3: What’ll happen after you do?! 4: There’s no point in you thinking about something like that. You don’t need to know anything. 5: If only you hadn’t been so curious, you wouldn’t have had to become so emaciated. 6: But if you really insist on knowing, then I suppose I could explain everything to you, if it’ll put you at ease.
128) 1: You won’t change a bit. You’ll keep your beautiful face, and keep on going to school with your beautiful body… 2: We just won’t need my body anymore, so it’ll be thrown away. 3: After the doctor puts my brain in your head, that is! 4: We’ll throw away your brain too.
129) 1: You won’t be able to see or hear anything anymore, but your body will live on just as it is. 2: So you don’t need to worry about anything. 3: Nooooooo!! 4: You’re mine! This is the whole reason I gave birth to you! 5: No!! 6: You don’t need to worry. The doctor’s very good at surgery.
130) 1: Now, go to sleep! 2: No! I’m not sleepy! Stop it! 3: Someone! 4: I don’t believe it. No matter how many sleeping agents I inject into you, nothing works. 5: I wanted to change you into your surgery clothes while you were asleep. 6: Come on, it’s time to change. 7: I’ll change too, right after you. 8: Someooone!! 9: I’m going to untie you now, so please stay still. We wouldn’t want to damage your precious body, now would we?
131) 1: Aaaahhh!! 2: There’s no use in running. 3: You haven’t eaten a thing, and your bonds have probably made parts of your body go numb. 4: Aahhh!! 5: Enough.
132) 1: Gyaahhh!! 2: Now change your clothes. 3: Your body is going to get all bloody, so you need to take everything off. 4: Someone!! 5: Help me!! 6: Wear it. 7: Good. Now let’s go to the second floor…
145) 1: Help me!! Someone help me!! 2: Please help me!! 3: If she catches me, she’ll do brain surgery on me!! 4: Help me!! 5: Please stop that girl!! 6: Gyaahh!! 7: Ahhh!!

156) 1: I’m never going to let you go! 2: No matter how much you fight me! 3: I think I just heard something outside.

165) 1: Looks like you’re both awake now. 2: These needles will be inserted into your pressure points in order to numb your bodies. That way you won’t feel any pain during the surgery. This is the method I use. 3: Please start with me. I won’t be able to just lay here and watch you stick needles into Sakura’s body. 4: It may hurt a little bit, but soon you won’t be able to feel anything. And even if you start to bleed, don’t worry. It’ll stop in no time. Sfx: stab Sfx: slide

181) 1: Things are proceeding excellently!! Sfx: splat 2: Now I need to pull out the mother’s brain and put it into her daughter’s head… 3: I need to be quick! I’m running out of time!!
182) 1: Severing the nerves is the hardest part… 2: Making sure they all get properly reconnected is the key to success. 3: If I mess up here, all my work will have been for naught!
183) 1: Isn’t anyone home? I haven’t seen anyone come out of there for a week…
185) 1: You’re awake! 2: The surgery was a success. 3: But you shouldn’t move just yet. Go back to sleep. 4: The next time you awaken, everything should be all better. 5: Uuuu

198) 1: Ahh!! Sfx: mrrrowr 2: You were watching me?! Sfx: clunk 3: Gyaaah! 4: It… It died! 5: E-even if it’s an animal, I won’t have any mercy on anyone who sees evidence of what happened! 6: I’m not going to let anyone get in my way! 7: I’m going to live a normal life, and that’s that! Sfx: creak
199) 1: Now I’ve memorized all of Sakura’s peculiarities. 2: How she talks… Sfx: click 3: You know Yamada, from our class? 4: Information about her school, her friends’ names, I’ve been studying it all for quite some time now… 5: But what I’m worried about are other people’s memories and things that Sakura did that I don’t know about. 6: I need to be especially careful around Ryouko. 7: Those two may have made secrets or promises that I don’t know about.
200) 1: That should do it. 2: Now I can finally go to school. Sfx: creak
201) 1: No one’s noticed. 2: Yes, of course they haven’t. 3: Huh?! 4: That’s Sakura. 5: She must have gotten over her cold. 6: I’m going to surprise her. 7: Ahh!!
202) 1: Something’s wrong. 2: The way she walks, and the way she looks from behind… It’s different… 3: But if she’s really the Sakura I know, then she’ll stop at that flower store. Sign: Flowers 4: That’s strange… She didn’t even glance at it. 5: I guess I just need to look at her face. 6: That’s it. 7: I’ll catch up to her and get her to turn around.
203) 1: I knew it was you, Sakura! 2: Ryouko. 3: I guess you got over your cold, huh? You were absent from school for so long! 4: I was worried, so I walked by your house every day and looked inside on my way to school! 5: Every day?! 6: Yeah. I just kept wondering how you were doing… 7: I’m so glad you got better. It looks like you lost a little weight, though.
204) 1: When I was looking at you from behind, you seemed like a different person. 2: It must have been because of your cold. 3: Now, let’s go to school! Everyone’s going to be so happy to see you. 4: Wait, Ryouko. 5: I still can’t run. 6: My fever hasn’t gone completely down yet. 7: So, I may do some weird stuff once in a while, but don’t worry about it, OK? 8: Sure. It won’t bother me. 9: But you know, Sakura, the way you’re talking sounds just like your mother. 10: There’s the school.
205) 1: Huh? Sakura? 2: That isn’t your shoebox. 3: It’s over here. 4: Oh no! 5: You’re right. I guess my mind must have gotten all jumbled up over my break. 6: Sakuraaa! 7: Waahh! 8: You’re all better!
206) 1: Hey, settle down! She isn’t completely over her cold yet. 2: Don’t tell me you forgot where your seat is too? 3: I’m going to go say hello to our teacher. 4: Can you put my bag by my desk for me, Ryouko? 5: Sure thing. 6: Sakura, want me to come with you? 7: No, I’ll be fine.

208) 1: How is your mother, Sakura? 2: Huh? 3: Oh… She went to Europe. 4: To Europe?! 5: Yes. She gave me a letter for you.
209) Letter: to Mr. Tanigawa Page: Dear Mr. Tanigawa, I hope you’re doing well. Thank you so much for 1: She told me to take good care of you. 2: When did she write this? 3: Last night. 4: So she left this morning? Why did she leave you here all alone? 5: She’s always wanted to go to a place where she wouldn’t have to worry about her ugly appearance. 6: Really? Do you think your mother’s ugly, Sakura? 7: You mean you don’t think she is?
210) 1: But she had such a big scar on her face! 2: And she was fat and all wrinkly!! 3: She looked way older than she actually was!! 4: I’m sure the only reason you can say something like that, 5: Mr. Tanigawa, is because it has nothing to do with you!! 6: No matter how young she was, if a woman who looked like that said she wanted to marry you, Mr. Tanigawa, you’d say no! Wouldn’t you?! 7: Wouldn’t you?! 8: Wahhh!!
211) 1: Sakura!! 2: Uuuu!! 3: Wh-what’s wrong? Stop crying. 4: Want to come to my house on Sunday? 5: What?! 6: Let’s have a party to celebrate how you’ve gotten all better. 7: A party?! 8: O-okay… 9: Now, back to the classroom you go.

I didn’t think it’d make you so angry. Everyone just told me to do it… 6: I’m sorry. 7: Your seat is here. 8: What?!
215) 1: I’ll get out of it for you. 2: Oh my! 3: Tee hee. 4: It looks like I must have gone senile while I was out! 5: I need to hurry up and get back to normal. Sfx: hahaha x3 6: Tee hee.
216) Sfx: uuuu 1: Now everyone, let’s begin our studies. 2: Now that Sakura’s back, and we’re all together again, I’m going to make you study even harder than ever before. 3: I know, let’s have Sakura answer first. 4: What was the theme of the fourth chapter of our sociology textbook? 5: It’s something you’ve learned already, so you’re not allowed to look at your textbook. 6: O-OK… 7: I’m sure you remember what the theme is, Sakura. 8: Uuuu!
217) 1: Uuuu! 2: Uuuuuu! 3: Ahh! 4: Wh-what’s wrong?! 5: A-are you OK?! 6: My head… 7: Th-this isn’t good! 8: It’ll go away as long as I stay still Sfx: Uuuuu 9: Go and take a rest, then.

I-I don’t think I’m going to answer that. Sfx: cough x2

Piko only likes you, Sakura. 11: OK. 12: Here’s the cleaning stuff. 13: I’ll be right back, then…
226) 1: I’ll go too. 2: Wait, Ryouko. 3: Hey, don’t you think Sakura has been acting a little different? 4: What? 5: I don’t think she’s the least bit different. 6: Yes she is! I can’t put my finger on it, but something’s weird about her! 7: It’s like she isn’t Sakura anymore. 8: I’m going to follow her and spy on her. 9: Stop! 10: You can’t do that!
230) 1: A-are you OK? 2: I’m fine… 3: I’ll be fine walking home on my own. 4: But… 5: I’ll be fine.
231) 1: Sakura. 2: It’s me. 3: What’s going on? We passed each other in the hall this morning but you acted like you didn’t even know me. 4: I wanted to call out to you, but some of the other guys from my class were there, so they would have made fun of me for sure. 5: I don’t mind myself, but I knew you probably wouldn’t like it, so…
232) 1: I was so worried when I heard you got sick… 2: B-but your mother doesn’t even know about me, does she? 3: S-so I thought maybe… m-maybe you didn’t like me anymore… 4: What… Sfx: ho ho ho ho 5: Ho ho ho ho ho!!

234) Sfx: thud 1: I want adult love, not some child’s games!! 2: I’m going to make Mr. Tanigawa mine, no matter what it takes. He’s always been my ideal man!! 3: He’s single, so I’m sure it’ll be simple to make him mine. 4: Feeling his warm chest made me so happy! 5: And I’m going to serve him from the bottom of my heart and become a good wife. I know I can!
235) 1: He told me to come to his house on Sunday, but I can’t wait that long. 2: I’ll try going there tonight. Sfx: creak Sfx: slam 3: We’ll eat the seaweed rice rolls he loves… Sfx: screech
236) Sfx: slam 1: Stop up there. 2: That’s his house. 3: I’m sure he’s reading a book or something all by himself. 4: The window’s open…

A party? 10: Would you mind going to your parents’ house that day? 11: What?! 12: Why?
240) 1: All my students think I’m single. 2: Oh my! I don’t believe you!! 3: What do you intend to do about Mitsugu and I, then? 4: I know! You can just tell them the truth at the party! 5: N-no way!! 6: I-I can’t tell them now!! 7: Just imagine what sort of rumors they’d spread if I told them that!! 8: Y-you have no idea how rude the girls in my class are! 9: Please, Kazuyo.
241) 1: I guess we have no choice, Mitsugu. 2: He wants us to get out… 3: Fine. I’ll go visit my parents. 4: I haven’t been back in a while, and I’m sure my parents want to see Mitsugu’s face. 5: Phew! 6: Tee hee. Judging from what I’ve heard, it seems like you have a lot of unique students. 7: I suppose I could prepare some food for the party before I go. 8: That’ll be a great help.
242) Sfx: hahahaha Sfx: hahahahahaha
243) Sfx: ding dong x2 1: Sakura! Sfx: creak 2: Good morning. 3: I heard Mr. Tanigawa’s having a party at his house on Sunday. 4: He invited me, Nakajima, Hanagata, and Shima! 5: When I told my mom about you, she told me to invite you to come over our house. 6: It’s OK, Ryouko. You don’t need to be so considerate.
244) 1: But… 2: Yesterday Shima seemed really down in the dumps. What happened? 3: Nothing. 4: Now, I want you all to do your best to study hard today. 5: Be sure to take notes on what I’m about to read. 6: Ahem. The enactment of the Japanese constitution… 7: So as soon as a girl turns 16, she is allowed to marry… 8: Tee hee… Sfx: flinch
245) 1: Tee hee.! You know what that means! 2: Gulp 3: Wh-what are you laughing like that for, Nakajima?! 4: I have a question, Mr. Tanigawa! 5: How old are you?! 6: What are you shouting out a question like that for, you idiot?! 7: Because according to the Japanese constitution, you can’t get married for 7 more years, can you? 8: What?! 9: Wh-why… 10: Pfft! Just how dense are you? 11: Because I won’t be 16 for 7 more years! 12: Wh-what?!
246) Sfx: hahaha Sfx: wahaha Sfx: hahaha Sfx: uuuu 1: Wahh!! 2: Sakura, I’m on cleaning duty today, so you can go on ahead of me. I think I might be a while. 3: OK. 4: Hey, Ryouko! Ryouko! 5: Something’s definitely up with Sakura… 6: Remember when we were taking notes today? 7: I took a look at her handwriting… 8: It’s different from the real Sakura’s handwriting. It seemed like the way an adult would write. Something’s definitely wrong here!
247) 1: She must have just practiced writing while she was at home. 2: No way. She must be hiding some secret from us. 3: Something must have happened to her while she was sick. 4: And I’m going to find out what it is. 5: You can’t!
248) Sign: Sunday 1: Everyone will be here to pick me up soon. 2: It’s completely rotten. 3: No matter how tough someone may be, if they drink this… Sfx: ding dong 4: They’re here…

251) 1: I’ll carry the pudding, vegetables, and salad. 2: Then I’ll carry the soup. 3: Congratulations on recovering from your illness, Sakura. 4: Now, let’s make a toast with our soup!!
252) 1: Cheers!! 2: Cheers! 3: Mr. Tanigawa, I never thought you’d be able to make such delicious soup. 4: Now I really need to work harder so I can become your wife as fast as possible… At this rate I won’t have anything to do!
254) 1: Now, let’s eat! Sfx: gulp x3 2: Ooh, this is good! 3: Aren’t you going to drink any, Sakura?
255) 1: I will. Sfx: gulp 2: Mm, this is so good. 3: It’s got a unique taste to it, though. 4: Hey, Nakajima, you’ve hardly drunk any of yours! 5: But you were the first one to say ‘Let’s eat,’ and you even told Sakura to drink some. 6: Heh heh… 7: I’m more focused on the cake. 8: If I drink all this soup, I won’t be able to eat as much cake as my stomach can hold.
256) 1: Hey, I don’t want a wife who’s that stubborn about food! 2: Oh my… 3: Wait, Mr. Tanigawa, you mean you really… 4: ARE planning to make me your wife?! 5: I knew it… 6: Hey, hey, what are you getting all red for? That’s not what I meant. You’re such a weirdo, Nakajima… Sfx: wahahaha Sfx: hahaha Sfx: hahahahaha
257) Sfx: hahahaha 1: Hey, Sakura, why are you the only one who isn’t laughing? 2: What? 3: Oh, no reason. I was just thinking about something silly. 4: Silly? Like what? 5: Nothing. 6: Saying that’ll only make us more curious. 7: Right, girls? 8: Yeah, yeah! 9: Go on and tell us already. 10: OK then.
258) 1: Maybe the truth is 2: that Mr. Tanigawa already has a wife? 3: What?! 4: If he does, Nakajima, you’ll never be able to marry him. 5: What are you talking about?! 6: Tee hee. It’s just my imagination. I said ‘maybe,’ didn’t I? 7: What if he really has a wife and child, but he told them to go somewhere while we have our party today? 8: Sakura! How rude! 9: There’s no way that could be true, right Mr. Tanigawa? 10: Y-yeah… 11: See! Did you hear that? 12: I-I know! Let’s put a record on. 13: Good idea! 14: squeal, squeal Sfx: badadum badada 15: Hahaha!
