2. "I'd like you to become the next head of sales."
3. "After discussing it among ourselves,"
4. "you were elected unanimously."
5. "...Me?"
6. "You have more than enough experience for it, right?"

1. "I can pass the baton to you knowing it'd be safe in your hands,"
2. "someone passionate who the entire department can count on."
3. "It's a lot to consider,"
4. "so there's no need to answer"
5. "right away..."
6. The entire department can count on...

1. for well over a decade?
2. Count on? Me?
3. You mean that facade I've been building up
4. so why am I having second thoughts now...?
5. No, I chose to do this myself,
1. "Hiroko-senpai?"
2. "Rather, what are you still doing here, Aya-"
3. "It's fine, it's fine!"
4. "Ah!"
5. "If there's something I can help with..."
6. "You still haven't gone home yet?"
7. "...Don't tell me you were waiting for me the entire time?"
1. "There's something I wanted to see on the way back."
2. "Won't you join me?"
3. "I wanted to see it with you no matter what!"
4. "The projector comes on one last time at 20:00."
5. "Wow..."
1. "Ah, here it comes!"
2. "...Oh."
3. "Get ready for it..."
1. "Oh!"
2. "Look, Senpai! They've even got a Santa!"
3. "Huh!?"
4. "Y-Yeah, they really do!"
5. I'm seriously gonna end up falling for her!
6. Oh my Gooood...
1. "..."
2. "Take care on your way back."
3. "I will!"
4. "A-Aya..."
5. "Well then, good night!"
1. "Everyone's saying she's a shoo-in for the next department head. Even I aspire to be like her!"
2. "Staying this late will do little to improve your chances of a promotion,"
3. "so you might as well head home now."
4. She did it
5. to protect me.
1. how can I expect to do any better?
2. If not even Chinatsu-senpai could overcome it,
3. If it were to happen again...
4. It's all my fault she had to leave the company.
1. No, I can't let it.
2. "I'm just happy you were the one inviting me out, Hiroko-senpai!"
3. "Sorry for being late."
4. "It's fine!"
5. "Oh, you're here!"
6. A confession, perhaps!?
7. "So, um, what did you want to talk about?"
1. "Ayaka,"
2. "what kind of relationship were you imagining between us?"
3. "..."
4. "but I have a whole bunch of things I want to do with you!"
5. "I wouldn't call it a goal,"
6. "I-"
7. "Is there some kind of goal you had in mind when going out?"
8. "Like what?"
9. "Th-Then, a hug!"
10. "Um, going on dates!"
11. "And coming to my place!"
12. "We just had one."
13. "I've visited a couple times."
1. "Anything else?"
2. "..."
3. Next would be
4. a kiss...
5. "N-"
1. "H-"
2. "Hiro-"
3. "...!"
1. "Let's end it with that."
2. "Huh?"
3. "A kiss with me, right?"
4. "Not a bad way to finish things."
5. "I'll try to be a better boss from now on."
6. "I've been trying not to say it until now,"
7. "but I can hardly lean on someone who was a kid just a few years ago."
1. "Hiroko-senpai!"
2. "Ayaka,"
3. "please."
4. "I've compromised as best as I can,"
5. "so could you please hear me out too?"
1. "I can't fall in love with you."
2. Then...
1. "Then why?"
2. "Why were you making that expression just now?"
1. "It's that habit of drowning out her worries with work again."
2. "Hiroko was never one to take it easy, but she seems even busier now."
3. "Not that it's helping any."
4. "...I can guess what's on her mind then."
5. "Same here. She hasn't said a word,"
6. "but there's nothing else it could be."
7. "you'd think she lives to work and not the other way around."
8. "With that strong sense of responsibility,"
1. "What do you mean?"
2. "The times may have changed..."
3. "...But she's still stuck in that same stuffy old mindset, huh?"
4. "What happened to Senpai?"
1. As if
2. "What do you mean you can't fall in love with me?"
3. I'm gonna let you off with that, Hiroko-senpai!
