1. Tonight, for the first time... 2. "Hm? Mariko? You're getting dressed up?" 3. "Are you going out?" 4. "I see..." 5. "Well, don't stay out too late." 6. "Yeah." 7. "I'm going now, bye!" 8. "W...wait... Mariko, you aren't going out to meet a boyfriend, are you?" 9. "Eh!?" 10. "No... I'm just going out with some friends from my class." 11. "D...dad believes in you, mariko..."

1. Today is the day I go to a mixer for the first time... 2. "Akko seems like the type who drinks a lot, though!" 3. "Ahahaha, is that so?" 4. "I start acting crazy when I drink!" 5. "I'm not going to drink today though!" 6. "Also, they're paying for everything so we can drink as much as we want!" 7. "The guys who are coming are old enough to buy alcohol." 8. "What!? I'm not like that at all!" 9. "Yeah." 10. "Is that the one-piece you got when we went shopping a few days ago?" 11. "It's true that I kind of lied to my dad..." 12. "Geez..." 13. "Mari." 14.
