[---Page 3---] (no text) [---Page 4---] /Yukino/ I wanted to get that new Ice product~ /girls/ kyaa /girls/ kyaa [---Page 5---] Tsubaki: ? Girls from other schools? Souichirou: Ah, Miyaza... Girls: IT'S HIM-- *heart* *heart* Arima-kun, you were so great at the Interhigh! Girls: We're your fans! /girls/ Kyaaa kyaa /girls/ He's so good-looking in real life--- Girls: Let's be frie-----nds! /girls/ Let's trade mailing addresses!!! /girls/ Do you have a girlfriend? /girls/ This school's the top in the prefecture!! You must be really smart!! [---Page 6---] Girls: Iya---- You're so strong /Arima/ Girls are a little pushy.. Girls: There aren't any guys in our school who could come near you in such boldness. Tsubaki: You've been surrounded since around the beginning of the second semester and the cultural festival, ne. Tsubaki: Winning championships at least twice at the Interhigh. (You got into championships 2 years ago, too) Tsubaki: You're pretty attractive, too, and they've got you on close-up in the newspapers and the kendou magazines, too. (Are? You were in the Educational TV program, too, weren't you?) [---Page 7---] Tsubaki: That was really nice, an intense win----- Announcer: Champion! Hokuei High School, 3rd year, Arima Souichirou-kun!! [---Page 8---] Tsubaki: His face on battle mode! *heart* Those piercing eyes! Aya: The blush upon his cheeks!! /Aya&Tsubaki/ My heart's beating so fast! *heart* Arima, who I met as a rival in the spring of our first year, (Well, actually, it was just me) who became my friend as we let our true selves show, who became my lover, was naturally gifted by so many talents. Now in our 3rd year, he's involved in everything in school, and there isn't anything that suited him well anymore. [---Page 9---] Yukino: Number 8 in the National Language Exam......? Souichirou: Ah, I just got lucky there. Yukino: You got 8th place by pure chance!!! Tsubaki: Yo, Mr. Smooth! Aya: Or maybe he's not quite so smooth. [---Page 10---] Yukino: You probably think I'm only second place my whole life, don't you!! /Yukino/ Dammi------t Souichirou: I, uh... don't... /arrow pointing to Yukino/ Always in second place since she became a senior Yukino: Because in this world, you're only as good as your grades!! To live fully in society, one must have the cunning and ability to outwit other people and take advantage of people's weaknesses!! NO WAY I'M LOSING TO THAT!!!! /Souichirou/ Why do I have to listen like this.. Hrm. To add to that, my boyfriend, with his personality that is without anger, without pride, without extravagance, with humility, refreshing, valuing harmony, with great care, with fairness, his gentle personality, has become so special, before I even knew it /box point to Yukino/ The short-tempered, domineering, extravagant, overconfident, narrow-minded, havoc-loving, selfish, willful, and egotistical personality. [---Page 11---] /Yukino/ The translation right here... /Boys/ It's Arima-san.. Arima-san and Miyazawa-san... He was number 8 in the National Language Exam They look so good. Yukino: What are they looking at... [---Page 12---] Boy: Ah~~~ I can't reach it. Souichirou: Here you go. Boy: A-a-a-a-a-Arima-senpai!!!!! [---Page 13---] Boy: Um, Thank you... /note/ In danger of falling off Souichirou: ? /sign/ Student Council Souichirou: Miyazawa, you called? [---Page 14---] Yukino: Huh? You were in kendo? Souichirou: I haven't even warmed up enough Souichirou: Wanna do it, too, Miyazawa? I'll teach you. /Souichirou/ It's fun- Yukino: No way, your protectors stink. Yukino: And the new student council members say they don't understand this stuff... /Yukino/ And if I don't take charge, who knows what's going to happen--- Souichirou: (Oh) this. [---Page 15---] Souichirou: I'm sorry, do I stink? Girl: No... Excuse me. (You don't stink) It's alright. Please teach me. [---Page 16---] Souichirou: I wonder if I really do scare girls... Souichirou: ..... What's with that face just now? Yukino: Nothing.... How do you say it.... Never mind. Yukino: There are some types that are just difficult to approach. Souichirou: ..... Fine, whatever, never mind. Souichirou: I've got you. [---Page 17---] The field of love is quite distant. /Yukino/ But it's not like I didn't take a step back either. Yukino (thought): Even if we've been going out for two and half years, we're still pretty embarrassed by it. /Announce/ Please enter the first compartment for Track 3. Our hands.. Souichirou: We might lose each other [note: in reference to him taking her hand] [---Page 18---] At times like this, I think, "I love hi~m" It's not his looks or personality It seems as if Arima never imagined he'd ever be loved by a girl. As if he never thought he'd be loved by anybody. [---Page 19---] Souichirou: TV? Advisor: Yeah! The bishounen edition of the evening news program "Seeking Minami-san!" The director is my kendo master's granddaughter. /label/ Advisor Advisor: She watched the Interhigh broadcast and she said she just about fell for you.. Souichirou: I.. I can't do that. Advisor: Just please let me save face.. I'm begging you!! [---Page 20---] Yukino: So are you gonna do it? Even though I know you don't like standing out.. /Yukino/ And compared to standing out.. /Tsubaki&Aya/ Uhyo! Tsubaki&Aya: TV!!! Tsubaki&Aya: I have to dress up!! We'll appear in the "Friend Introduction" part, too!!! Souichirou: No way. (Not you guys!) Yukino: Don't worry. I'm sure your mom and dad will be pleased. Yukino: I think my family will be happy, too. (what with the "Arima love" and everything) Souichirou: ...yeah. [---Page 21---] Aya: Arima's still so popular~~~~~~~ Tsubaki: Worried, Yukinon!? Yukino: You guys... [---Page 22---] /Announcer/ Not only are you good at Kendou, but your grades are at the top of your class, too! [---Page 23---] Because nothing has changed with the Arima I know, I never minded, but it seems nobody can match Arima's "greatness." Superior intelligence, A mild personality, A calm, composed look, [---Page 24---] A slender, well-proportioned body, not _bulging_ with muscles, and still growing, he already stands out from his surroundings. Yukino (thought): This is pretty lonely!! [---Page 25---] Hideaki: Hey, ladykiller Hideaki: Though TV didn't seem to do you justice [---Page 26---] Hideaki: ----You know... Lately, when I look at you Hideaki: I somehow feel saddened. Hideaki: You drive yourself up the wall and then what happens? Nobody can catch up to you now. Hideaki: And sooner or later [---Page 27---] Hideaki: Miyazawa will be all alone. I wonder if a heart that's died once can ever be restored to life. [---Page 28---] Yukino: Ah! Arima! Yukino: I've been looking for you. Were you up at the roof? Yukino: ? What's wrong? You don't look so good. Souichirou: Heh? I don't? Yukino: You're probably tired from the TV shoot, huh? (eeheehee) [---Page 29---] Souichirou: But... that wasn't the real me. Souichirou: The real me is when I'm with you. [---Page 30---] I'm not the one who's going to leave you I'm wondering if you're going to leave me or not. Anxiously checking your feelings and feeling safe is the opposite of that. [---Page 31---] In the next National Language Exam, Arima placed first, nationally. [On the first rank, with 778 points, is Souichirou Arima, Kanagawa Prefecture, headed for Tokyo University.] END ACT 60 .
