1. It gives me flashbacks to junior high for some reason.
2. "Good morning."
1. Although I guess junior high girls wouldn't smooch their crush the first time they met them.
2. I felt like maybe that kind of thing was enough.
3. Listening.
4. Talking.
5. Just chatting about our jobs.
6. Saying goodbye at the station.
1. "It's more fun than I expected."
2. "It's going to rain all day, I hear!"
3. "Sure looks that way!"
4. "Are you all going to be in the art festa?"
5. "Art festa?"
6. "Oh, they've been putting it on for the last few years."
7. "Yes, that."
8. "Part of the neighborhood revitalization project."
9. "Hunh."
1. "There's a mini marathon where the shops compete against each other."
2. "It's a lot of fun."
3. "It's like a school festival, but for the neighborhood association."
4. "My kids are in elementary and junior high, so we put on some fun things in the kids' area."
5. "But I'm not a great runner, so I politely declined!"
6. "You should run! I'll cheer you on!"
7. "We did a booth for the festa last year."
8. "And they did ask us about the marathon."
9. "Okay, okay. If they ask again, we'll put akari-san in."
10. "Why me?!"
1. "Have a good night!"
2. "See you tomorrow!"
3. Oh, right! I have zero food in the house.
4. I've got to get it together.
5. They redid the station, didn't they? I think there's a supermarket in there now.
10. Oooh. Lots of new shops.
11. Whoa! There's a salon, too. Rivals!
12. Oh.
13. There is!
1. "They've got a good selection."
4. I went and bought too much.
5. And on a rainy day of all the days.
1. "Whoa!"
2. "Oh, no, it's fine."
3. "Ack! Sorry!"
4. "It's that kind of day."
5. "I didn't mean to pop it open like that!!"
1. We only met the one time, after all.
2. "Uh..."
1. Wait... He's...?
2. Oh no.
3. "Gaaaaah!"
1. "Oh."
2. "Err."
3. "Yes?"
4. "H-hirayama-san?"
5. "I... I wasn't sure before if it was you or not."
6. "Yes!"
1. "I'm really sorry about the confusion."
2. "I...!"
3. "Yeah! She's the one at fault here!"
4. "I had no clue!"
5. "I mean-- sorry! Not appropriate!"
6. "Nothing..."
7. "Happened. And nothing will happen, so..."
8. "You can rest easy."
9. "R-right."
10. "Well... Welcome..."
11. "To the neighborhood."
12. "Although you probably already know that."
1. "I'm home."
2. "I'm home."
1. "Yup."
2. Nothing happened.
3. Nothing will.
4. Even after I knew she was married, I still kissed her.
5. "Sorry, hubby."
6. "I totally lied there."
1. "Right. Sorry, I forgot, too."
2. "Oh."
3. "Errm... You know the building across the street?"
4. "She..."
5. "Well."
6. "Um."
7. "Hirayama akari-san..."
8. "I guess she just moved in there."
9. "On purpose?"
1. "She didn't even know that I live here now."
2. "I didn't tell her."
3. "It's a coincidence."
4. "You can't be--"
5. "Like, so you could see each other all the time."
6. "Did you two plan it?"
7. "What?"
8. "No, I'm sorry."
9. "Sorry."
10. "No point in acting suspicious when you have nothing to hide."
11. "If you didn't know, you didn't know. And if you hadn't spoken up, it would have seemed like you were keeping it quiet."
12. "I just blurted it out."
13. "No need to tell you that."
1. "So better for us to be totally open and honest about everything."
2. "It'll all be easier for everyone that way."
3. "Oh!"
1. "Are you going to take part, hirayama-san?"
2. "Ahhh, I might be."
3. "They asked me to represent my salon in the mini marathon!"
4. "Aha ha ha!"
1. So maybe it's okay?
2. He is surprisingly nice.
3. But...
4. I can't be chatting with my crush's husband!
5. "Wait."
6. Maybe he's just biting his tongue the whole time?
7. But...
8. Wife in the morning.
9. Husband in the evening.
10. What fresh hell is this?
11. Well, I don't want him thinking I have some ulterior motive.
12. So I'll keep it friendly.
13. ""I am ayano's husband!""
14. Maybe he's, like, just keeping an eye on me.
1. "Have you always known you liked women, hirayama-san?"
2. "Eh?"
3. "Ah!"
4. "Sorry! That was a rude question."
5. "My very first love was my teacher."
6. "Don't come at me like that."
7. "I-I guess so."
8. "Oh! A woman."
1. At any rate, now I'm coming home at a different time to keep hubby from spotting me.
2. "Oh!"
3. "Good morning!"
4. "My wife had to go in early today."
5. "She did, did she?"
1. This kept happening for several days.
2. Even if I avoided him, we'd "Coincidentally" bump into each other.
3. But it's like...
4. This guy...
5. Or maybe I'm way off base here.
6. Maybe I'm just full of myself.
1. Does he like me or something?
2. Argh!
3. But this kind of thing has happened to me before.
4. If I'm totally wrong, then I'm sorry.
5. "There it is."
6. "Ah!"
7. "But did you want to have dinner sometime?"
8. "So maybe this is a weird thing of me to ask..."
