1. "Could..." 2. "you be my girlfriend?"

1. "..." 2. "What do you say?" 3. "Why did you get a medium size fries?" 4. "You have to keep on your diet both day and night." 5. "Um..." 6. "I thought you were on a diet." 7. "Eeeeh." 8. "But I get hungry at night." 9. "...miyashita-san"

1. "Besides that," 2. "Shiori-chan," 3. "Please say something or I will..." 4. "I mean," 5. "People are going to hear us." 6. "Right?" 7. "Can we," 8. "Change places then?" 9. "..." 10. "Well..."

1. "My ex-girlfriend was older than me;" 2. "She took me here a few times." 3. "Well," 4. "I got dumped, actually." 5. "We only lasted for 3 months, though." 6. "I was quite shocked to hear that." 7. "Soon after we broke up, I heard that she went back to her ex-girlfriend."

1. "Listen shiori-chan," 2. "I told you before," 3. "..." 4. "Sorry, I'm talking about such a silly thing like this," 5. "And wasting my precious time with you..." 6. "So, you're not just turning me down because I'm a girl, right?" 7. "So I can't be in a relationship with you." 8. "I'm going out with someone already,"

1. "Girlfriend?" 2. "..." 3. "You feel bad for your girl- friend?" 4. "Like I told you," 5. "I am going out with someone..." 6. "That's not my intention at all." 7. "I don't mean to take you away from your girlfriend," 8. "You don't want to betray her, right?" 9. "That's nothing to worry about."

1. "I mean... Um..." 2. "And you won't tell anyone." 3. "There's no way she could find out." 4. "What do you mean by girlfriend?" 5. "I won't tell anyone," 6. "Please don't be so surprised." 7. "Now that I know for sure," 8. "I'm happy."

1. "Miyashita-san, you and I are the same." 2. "And somehow you know..." 3. "There are times... When something clicks..." 4. "I'm so happy," 5. "When you touched my breasts...." 6. "That you really are..." 7. "It crossed my mind..."

1. Right now... Also 2. Since then... 3. I'm all wet, 4. That's all I've been thinking about lately. 5. And kiss her... 6. I want to hold miyashita-san

1. "Being your secret lover." 2. "I wouldn't even mind," 3. "I love you, miyashita-san." 4. "I am sure I can make you feel you really good." 5. "Shiori," 6. "I think you're misunderstanding me."

1. "I'm telling you the truth." 2. "My boyfriend, he's 4 years older than me," 3. "He's only working part-time." 4. "He's having a hard time with his job search," 5. "If you don't believe me, I'll bring a picture of us together next time..." 6. "..." 7. "You haven't seen anything on my phone, have you?" 8. "Shiori-chan..." 9. "Are you saying that I peeked at your phone while you weren't around?"

1. "I would never never never do such a thing," 2. "..." 3. "That kind of thing..." 4. "I didn't mean it that way at all..." 5. "I'm so sorry." 6. "You're right," 7. "I'm sorry," 8. "Not even," 9. "I said," 10. "Such a silly thing." 11. "To save my life." 12. "..." 13. "I'm truly sorry," 14. "I'm sorry shiori-chan"

1. "...but," 2. "..." 3. "It's fine," 4. "I got a bit too emotional." 5. "I see." 6. "And loads of loving texts from her." 7. "Is full of your girlfriend's photos" 8. "I guess your mobile phone" 9. "Your girlfriend." 10. "I envy her,"

1. "Shiori-chan," 2. "..." 3. "But, you don't know me at all," 4. "You say you love me," 5. "I think you need" 6. "To calm down a bit," 7. "Okay?" 8. "We only met two days ago." 9. "Do you?"

1. "But I..." 2. "Is it no good," 3. "Already fell in love with you." 4. "If it's only two days?" 5. "Hey," 6. "Miyashita-san," 7. "Certainly you've had something like this before?" 8. "Miyashita-san." 9. "I really like you."

1. "We should..." 2. "Get back to the office soon." 3. "Ah, I'll pay for this." 4. "I need to report to murakoshi-san about the photo shoot." 5. "I thought you were going straight home?" 6. "Eh..." 7. "Don't worry, I'll put it on the company account." 8. "I'm sorry to rush you." 9. "Today..."

1. "Of course," 2. "You'll get in touch with me," 3. "I'll have your next schedule soon." 4. "Right?" 5. "Thank you for your hard work today." 6. "Shiori-chan,"

1. I can get reimbursed for this. 2. There's no way 3. that you're going to be my manager! 4. I'm so happy

1. I thought the way I touched her was completely normal. 2. That person- she's not just a friend, is she? 3. "Ah, yes!" 4. who believes that no one is noticing? 5. Is it just me, 6. "It is really miyashita-san, good evening." 7. "Miyashita-san?"

1. "Good evening," 2. "You took me by surprise." 3. "What a coincidence!" 4. "Are you on your way back from work?" 5. "Yes," 6. "And you?" 7. "I was off today," 8. "So I just strolled around book shops and cd stores and so on." 9. "Oh!" 10. "Thanks for coming to the restaurant the other day." 11. "No," 12. "Sorry to visit out of the blue."

1. "She's here for a visit." 2. "Ah, she's from my home town." 3. "The girl who was with you, is she your friend?" 4. "I told her that my friend's friend works at a lovely italian restaurant," 5. "And she said she wanted to go there, so..." 6. "I'm a little hurt..." 7. "Friend's friend, huh...?" 8. "It was really delicious." 9. "She said," 10. "...?" 11. "..." 12. "I'd thought that we were already friends." 13. "!"

1. "Friends!" 2. "I... I'm sorry," 3. "I thought it would be rude," 4. "We are friends." 5. "If I said that you were my friend." 6. All trains will be temporarily held. 7. We are waiting momentarily for signal clearance. 8. "No..." 9. "It feels like I forced you to say that..." 10. Attention, passengers.

1. Further information on rail service delays will be announced as needed. 2. "I wonder how long it'll take." 3. "How unlucky..." 4. "..." 5. "Miyashita-san," 6. "You're working tomorrow as well, right?" 7. "Um," 8. "I have an idea."

1. "Oh!" 2. "Aren't you drinking a little too fast?" 3. "Is your job too tough?" 4. "Eh?" 5. "I should watch myself." 6. "You're right,"

1. "I just wondered if that explains why you're drinking like that." 2. "Ah, not that I was staring at you," 3. "It's just that you looked so exhausted when I saw you on the train." 4. "Um..." 5. "I'm always like that though." 6. "Well, miyashita-san..." 7. "Your career is demanding." 8. "No, it's not that at all." 9. "For now, I just want to put everything I've got into the job in front of me."

1. "When I went back home last week, I found that 'pom' we were talking about last time." 2. "Yeah, it's true." 3. "Career?" 4. "Even when you were 15," 5. "You were working so hard." 6. "Ooooh, god~" 7. "How embar- rassing~" 8. "No, it's great!" 9. "It's so embarrassing." 10. "..."

1. "I suddenly remembered." 2. "And then, miyashita-san" 3. "Oh please..." 4. "And um, please don't show it to mari-san and them." 5. "Even now I think...." 6. "For real," 7. "Right~" 8. "Reading it back then," 9. "I thought you were the cutest of the group." 10. "I think you look even more beautiful..." 11. "Um... Actually,"

1. "That guy we met today..." 2. "I mean...." 3. "I don't know how to put it..." 4. "You're really sparkling right now, it's wonderful." 5. "Osawa-san was it?" 6. so troublesome... 7. Ahhh... it's... 8. "We're friends." 9. Then it crossed my mind that

1. I know it's only for a short time, but 2. My life and miyashita-san's life in the past, 3. Crossed over a little. 4. I was also thinking, I wouldn't ever want to share it with mari-kun. 5. It made me happy, 6. And I kind of treasure that... 7. "That's so true." 8. "Haha! An animal!" 9. "Mari-san's a bit like an animal..." 10. "So he might sniff it out."

1. "Miyashita-san...." 2. "Do you happen to like mari-kun?" 3. "I don't have that kind of feeling towards him at all." 4. "No," 5. "My very first" 6. "Male friend." 7. "Um..." 8. "Do you have someone..." 9. "But mari-san is"

1. I would get all defensive in front of them. 2. But mari-san is so warm and he's not two-faced or anything. 3. To tell you the truth, 4. I've always been scared of men. 5. I feel he has such a big personality. 6. Looking at osawa-san, 7. I thought to myself 8. That I could really see why they say birds of a feather flock together. 9. Definitely genuine. 10. Mari-kun is...

1. I was so happy. 2. And so he became friends with me. 3. Osawa-san didn't treat me differently just because I used to be an 'idol' 4. From now on. 5. I really feel like I want to make more friends with people like that 6. I made a mistake 7. "Oh, it's empty," 8. "Would you like another drink too osawa-san?" 9. "That sounds great." 10. "Yeah."

1. It's so much easier and more natural that way. 2. I should have said that I liked Mari. 3. But wait, why do I need to lie? 4. And I don't feel too hesitant in lying if it's about Mari-san.

1. "Miyashita-san!" 2. Why... 3. "Mi-ya-shi-ta-san!" 4. "Miyashita-san, wake up!" 5. "Seriously, you're gonna miss the last train." 6. "Please wake up~" 7. "The last train-" 8. "You're working tomorrow, right!?"

1. What should I do...
