1. "There you are, Maki-kun."
2. "Hey..."
3. "I believe you forgot that yesterday."
4. "Ooh!"
5. "Thanks, Koito-san."
6. "So I left it in the Student Council room, huh?"
1. "What were you up to yesterday?"
2. "Um..."
3. "Up to?"
4. "You and Nanami-senpai stayed behind, right?"
5. "I was just wondering what you were working on."
6. "Oh!"
7. "Well..."
8. "I thought I'd get some homework done for Information class."
9. "And maybe pick up some inside intel on the midterm while I was at it."
10. "Oh, good idea!"
11. "I'd like to hear that too."
1. That... spooked me. Play it cool, play it cool.
2. "Oh, there's the bell."
3. "I'd better get back."
4. "Thanks again. See you after school."
2. "And some snacks!"
3. "..."
4. "Now now, no need to be like that! Have some tea!"
5. "You're more stubborn than I expected."
6. "I figured you'd be easy to crack."
7. "Ehhh?"
8. "Sorry, but you're not going to wine-and-dine away my opposition to the play!"
9. "And I can feed myself!"
1. "You two really don't mind?"
2. "I don't like being in front of people!"
3. "It'll be fun once you've started!"
4. "It could just be a tiny role."
5. "I don't have any particular issue with it."
6. "Same for you, right, Touko?"
7. "What does she think she's saying?"
8. "But of course!"
9. "Go ahead and put me in the starring role if you like."
1. "Why do you want to do a play so badly?"
2. Maybe she's just gotten used to playing a part.
3. Just like at the endorsement speech. She pretended to be perfectly fine...
4. while nervousness was tearing her up inside.
5. This time it's a play?
6. "Do I need more reason than that?"
7. "This is the only Culture Festival I'll get to run as President."
8. "Wouldn't you want to try something fun too?"
1. "So c'mon, let's do it!"
2. "NO!"
3. "Earth to Maki!"
4. "Maki!"
1. "I was grinning?"
2. "You sure were."
3. "Not that I blame you."
4. "Oh!"
5. "Yes?"
6. "What are you grinning about over there?"
7. "Um? Yeah..."
8. "Not bad scenery in the Student Council room with those two hotties here."
1. "Then what's your type?"
2. "Well, to be honest..."
3. "Did I just hear my name?"
4. "Or maybe you prefer someone more outside-of-the-box like Koito-san?"
5. "Hold on, Doujima, it's not like that..."
6. "Do you go more for Nanami?"
7. "Or Saeki?"
8. "Uh..."
9. "I don't really have a type."
1. "Oh, allow me."
2. "One of you two, help me bring these papers to the reference room."
3. "Hey."
4. "What!?"
5. "You're against the play as well, Maki-kun?"
7. I still can't believe all Touko's persuasion had no effect on her.
8. "I'm not as dead set against it as Koito-san."
9. "But having two freshmen members opposed... the level of enthusiasm isn't quite what we'd hoped."
10. "It's not official student council work, so I can't force you to."
11. "I see."
12. "If I can get away with not doing it... I'd prefer that."
1. "Nanami-senpai seems quite taken with Koito-san."
2. "Oh, does it look that way?"
3. "...Perhaps you're a bit resentful that you didn't give the endorsement speech?"
4. "They never knew each other beforehand, did they?"
5. "Indeed not. I wonder just why she's so taken."
6. "Indeed."
7. "Koito-san's a good person."
8. "And she really worked hard on the endorsement speech."
1. "..."
2. "Well, doubtless she's just riding high on having a protégé of sorts."
3. "I'm sure it'll calm down soon enough."
5. "These files go to the faculty room, don't they?"
6. "If you would, thank you."
7. "Excuse us"
8. "I need to make a copy"
9. "Oh!"
10. "Maki-kun, are you headed to the faculty room?"
11. "We can go together."
1. "At least the Student Council Room's got a nice atmosphere."
2. "Going back and forth to the school building is a plain hassle."
3. "But they might have already brought some of the other clubs in on it. Like the art club."
4. "Yeah."
5. "Say, Maki-kun. Let's join forces and derail this play idea."
6. "You're that opposed?"
7. "Derail it?"
8. "So you think they're all in?"
9. "It seems they've been planning this for a while."
10. "Dang it..."
1. "You know her well."
2. "Once Nanami-senpai says she's doing something, there's no dissuading her."
3. "Huh?"
4. "No..."
5. "But I've only known her a month."
6. "I mean, sure, we get along."
7. "Hmmm?"
1. "Are you going out with Nanami-senpai, Koito-san?"
1. "..."
2. "Nanami-san and a freshman girl?"
3. "She always claimed she wasn't interested in dating..."
4. "I saw you yesterday."
5. "She let her girlfriend do her endorsement speech?"
6. "But wait, so Touko's like that?"
7. "I'm sorry."
8. "Isn't that favoritism?"
9. He saw us.
10. He knows.
11. "I never imagined she was the sort to do a thing like that."
12. He...
13. could tell everyone.
1. "Maki-kun."
2. "it's all right. This doesn't mean I'm going to..."
3. "Koito-san,"
4. "..."
1. "..."
2. "Please don't tell Nanami-senpai."
3. "Don't tell her you saw us."
4. "Senpai's... very busy. She's got a lot of things on her plate."
5. "If you say so, then I won't."
6. "But why?"
7. "Please."
8. "I don't want anything... unnecessary causing her to panic."
1. "That's the first thing you're concerned about?"
2. "You're fascinating."
3. "...?"
4. The loves of other people... are truly fascinating.
1. After all, girls love to talk about love.
2. I never considered it a chore.
3. But for whatever reason, I've often found girls confiding in me.
4. Perhaps it was growing up with three sisters, two older and one younger.
5. I was watching a succession of love stories unfold before me.
1. "While you've... been listening to me all this time so kindly..."
2. "Maki-kun."
3. "Maki-kun, I actually fell for..."
4. I don't need that.
5. I just want to sit in my seat and watch the play.
6. What a let down.
7. What is she talking about?
8. How could a character on stage fall in love with someone in the audience?
1. "Especially this new play that I've found."
2. It's a secret production only I know about.
3. to cherish it. From my special, reserved seating.
4. to protect it.
5. I want to be the very closest spectator. To watch it.
6. "I won't tell anybody anything."
7. "Please don't worry."
8. "I won't tell Senpai anything."
1. "Okay. I trust you."
2. "You did come to me about it first, after all."
3. "I promise."
4. "C'mon, the gig is up!"
5. "But I'm not going out with her, all right?"
6. "Try to be more careful from now on."
7. "Yeah."
8. "No seriously, I'm not."
9. "I'm surprised, though."
10. "It kind of seemed like the affection was one-sided coming from Nanami-senpai."
1. "What?"
2. "You think of her before you even think of yourself."
3. "Goes to show..."
4. "But you really love her back, don't you?"
1. "Love her?"
2. "No, I..."
3. "just how special she is to you!"
4. "Ah ha ha!"
5. "Never thought I'd see you embarrassed, Koito-san."
6. "But..."
7. "It wasn't..."
8. "I mean..."
