What should I do? How should I explain this? Tsujiai, Yuta & Nina: .... ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:Dunno. Ayu: DON'T RUN AWAY SO EASILY! Kaji: Morning! What's wrong? Everyone's here. Ayu: Kaji-kun!! Yuta: Nuttin' Nina: Later! Kaji: What's wrong with them? Ayu: They left for us! ---------------------------------- Kaji: They didn't have to... Kaji: What happened with the guy from yesterday? Ayu: He immediately asked! Ayu: U-Uhm...the truth is, Nina's family affairs are deeply involved. Kaji: Sakura's? Ayu: Yeah, Nina's family is...complicated. I was just talking to them about it. Kaji: Why with Tsujiai? Ayu: The other day, Tsujiai found out about it. I heard the story from Nina. Yuta knew about it for a while since they're childhood friends. ---------------------------------- Kaji: If I heard those problems, it'd be bad right? Ayu: Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not really a good story anyway. ANYWAY! We'll probably not be seeing that guy for a 2nd time. It's fine! Don't worry, okay? Kaji I totally don't get it, but I know there's problems. Kaji: If Sakura wants to be stronger, feel free to tell her. ---------------------------------- Kaji: With Tateishi, it went well. Because of that guy. Ayu: Yeah, I'll tell her for you. (I'm sorry Kaji-kun.) Ayu: (But besides this, I was only keeping Nina's secret.) (Because I don't want to burden you with Nina's secret.) (I'm sorry. Just let me keep this to myself...) ---------------------------------- Yuta: (Since I've been here, nothing good has happened.) (Nina's still the same and Ayu has a boyfriend now.) (It's hard to use my magic and it's boring.) Girl: Kirishima-kun. ---------------------------------- Sayaka: I'm Nakamura Sayaka from the 4th class. Do you have a minute? Yuta: ...sure. ---------------------------------- Yuta: Nina! Ayu! Ayu: Whaat, Yuta? Nina: There's no running in the halls... Yuta: I have a girlfriend! Nina & Ayu: WHA? Yuta: Just suddenly she confessed. That really cute girl, Sayaka-chan from the 4th class. Ayu: Sayaka? Nakamura Sayaka? NO WAY! ---------------------------------- Nina: Do you know her? Ayu: Yeah, I've never talked to her, but she's famous. She's petite, fair skinned, a really pretty girl. she gives off a distant atmosphere. She's doesn't have any close friends, and doesn't have a boyfriend. They call her the Ice Doll of Shuuei Intermediate. Yuta: WHAT? Nina: Why did that pretty girl's wolf ... Yuta: SHADDUP! Of course she was captive to my charms. My looks, my smarts, my power, doesn't matter which one, are all first class. ---------------------------------- Nina: ... Yuta: I'm joking! Take a joke! (Until now Nina: But it's amazing that a pretty girl like that confessed to you. Yuta: ..yeah. ---------------------------------- Ayu: (Is this good? He likes Nina afterall...) Ah! (Nakamura Sayaka!) ---------------------------------- Sayaka:*SMILE* Ayu: Ah! Ah...Nakamura-san! You just started dating Kirishima kun (Yuta)... Sayaka: Yeah... Ayu: Although I hear that it's good, but why him? ---------------------------------- Sayaka: Since I transfered, I kinda grew to like Kirishima-kun. I guess it was love at first sight. Also, I won't be able to see him during summer vacation so I confessed. And he said "ok!" Ayu: ... She's cute... Sayaka: Tateishi-san and Sakura-san are good friends with him right? Ayu: Ah, yeah. Nina and Kirishima-kun have been childhood friends. ---------------------------------- Sayaka: From now on, let's be friends too. Ayu: Yeah, of course! (What the. She was such an nice girl to talk to. Some people just think that she's too beautiful to approach I think...) Ayu: Yuta got such a nice girlfriend, I'm happy. It'll go well. ---------------------------------- Sayaka: *Mysterious glare* ---------------------------------- Kaji: WHAT?! Nakamura-san and Kirishima?! Whaaaat. I'm shocked. In the Baseball Club, she's rejected so many guys... Ayu: Really? Well, that's because she's pretty. Kaji: Our captain confessed and that wasn't good enough. Anyrate, she's an "Ice Doll." But I've talked to her before, and it was a normal and good girl. Ayu: Yeah. Kaji: But Kirishima is pretty good...to take out that Nakamura-san. She's a Hard to Get Beauty. Ayu: Are you jealous? Kaji: Just a bit. ---------------------------------- Ayu: ... Kaji: You're making a face! I'm kidding! Ayu: Ugh, you were messing with me. Kaji: Are you and your family travelling this summer? Ayu: Naaah. We don't have any plans. I've got club practice anyway... Kaji: Yeah me too. ---------------------------------- Kaji: Between club activities, let's go out! {Translator's note: "asobou" is "lets play," I know but it sounds weird...so I changed it.} Ayu: Sure! ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:If I take the key, then no one can come here. Nina: You borrow the key a lot from the teachers, huh. Tsujiai:Nah. I just took it from the Faculty room. Nina: ... Tsujiai:Can you really do it? Instant Moment majic. Nina: Yeah I've done it before in class. I can do it with an incantation and without ChocoBalls. It's pretty easy. Nina: Do you have a place you want to go to? Tsujiai:Hmm yeah. Today's hot and a cool place would be nice. Like Hishochi Mountain? ---------------------------------- Nina: Okay! A mountain! Put your hand on my shoulder... Let's GO! *Chanting* *PA!* *BYUOOOOO* ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:SAKURA!!! Move to a cool place... Nina: We'll soon return... *CHANTING* Nina: iiittssssnooottttwwwoooorkkking. {Translator's note: Nina's shivering and i can't figure out her dialogue...so I'll take a stab at it.} Tsujiai:TRY! ---------------------------------- *CHANTING* *PA* *Water evaporating* Nina&Tsujai: .... Tsujiai: I thought I was going die. Nina: .... ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:Are you all right? Sakura? Nina: I'm so sorry....I failed again. I'm such a loser. ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:It's nothing serious. Don't worry about it. Because you're such a "loser" is why you're studying abroad here. You've shown me lots of stuff that I think is interesting. I think it's fine that you're a "loser." {Translator's note: "henachoko" means "pip squeak" but when I first looked up the word, I thought she meant "loser" in modern terms, but then Tsujiai says being a "loser" is cool...and the word takes on another connotation. So I thought I'd just add that it's not "loser" as in pathetic, but just a person who can't get anything.} ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:You'll improve. Good luck at your own pace. ---------------------------------- Nina: (Tsujiai-kun is nice, huh.) (I messed up the magic and he's the first who didn't get mad at me.) ---------------------------------- Girl1: Nina! Lately you've been pretty close to Tsujiai, right. Girl2: Didn't the 2 of you go to the roof top yesterday? Nina: WHAT?! Girl1: He took the key and there's rumours of you two. Girl1: Could it be that you guys are going out? Nina: Wrong! You're wrong!!! Girl1: Really? Nina: REALLY! ---------------------------------- Girl1: Oh that's why. I get it. Satomi was worried because she's a fan of Tsujiai. Girl2: I'm sorry! Tsujiai:Sakura! ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:I thought of a question...in the Magic Kingdom... Nina: Tsujiai-kun... It'd be better if you didn't come to me. Just ask Yuta about magic. Tsujiai:... Why? Nina: We're not dating and it seems like there's rumours of us going around. Isn't that bad? I don't want to cause any misunderstandings. Tsujiai:I don't really give about that, but... ---------------------------------- Tsujiai:If you don't want misunderstandings...you want to go out for real? ---------------------------------- Nina: WHAT?! ---------------------------------- tsuzuku! Ooooh! What kind of a confession is that??? Hmm ...I guess Kaji and Nina were never meant to be. =(
