Do you hate me so much!? Mai: It's not hate. It's just that if you'll disappear, then I can be friendly. <104> Clerk: Here. Nobuko: Thanks. Natsumi: So. What kind of girl was your ex-girlfriend? Was she cute? Youta: It doesn't matter, right. <105> Sound: Ga ga. Girl: I'm sorry, sorry. Did you wait!? Nobuko: Oh! You're late!! <106> Girl: Sorry, sorry. Nobuko: Tomoko will be upset if we're late. Girl: Anyway, I wonder how much longer she'll have a birthday party*? * In Japan, birthday parties are considered to be childish when they're planned by the birthday person. Nobuko: I don't know. Tomoko: Even if I get old and even if I marry, I will have a birthday party! Nobuko: That's what she said, so maybe until she dies? Girl: She shouldn't gather up her girlfriends, she should get a boyfriend and have it with him. Nobuko: Yeah. Girl: Ah. Sorry. Nobuko: No. It's okay. <107> Nobuko: .The place Senpai chose Amano-san over me. Nobuko: I still haven't forgotten him. It's so painful, painful. I might tend to him if I see him now. Even though I decided to separate, the separation is decided. <108> Ai: .Demon! Mai: My playing time is limited as well, so I'd like to finish my destiny around today. I'll erase you! Ai: Eh? What? Playing time!? Is there such a thing!? Sound: Ka. <109> Sound: Don. Sound: Go go go go go. Mai: You got away from it. I'm proud of you. I thought you would have lost energy since your arm disappeared. You're surprisingly strong. Ai: I thank you for telling me many shocking things. I didn't know there was such a thing as playing time. If I think well, we're Video Girls, so there are ends to our tapes. Ai: But, since I know it now, it makes me want not want to disappear here! I'll be alive as long as my playing time!! Sound: Bu. <109> Sound: Byu. Ai: An. Sound: Kaysu. Sound: Gasha. <111> Ai: Goho goho. Gu. Sound: Su--. Sound: Hyu. Sound: Su--. Sound: Hyu. Sound: Pashi. Mai: What would you prefer, to fight here, or run away? <112> Sound: Garan garan. Sound: Gu. Sound: Da. Sound: Da da. Sound: Ta ta ta. Ai: Haa haa haa. Ai: Haa haa haa haa. <113> Ai: Haa haa. Ai: Haa haa. Mai: You're breathing heavy. Sound: Za. Sound: Byu. Mai: Oh. <114> Sound: Ga. Gu. Ai: U. Sound: Do. Mai: Not any more. You should give up and disappear. Youta-kun doesn't need you anymore, right? Then there's no meaning to play. Ai: You don't understand feelings, I just want to be with someone I like. Ai: That! Sound: Byu. Bushi. Suton. <115> Ai: She's making fun of me! .Intentionally dodging so low!! Sound: Suku. Sound: Gatsu. <116> Ai: I'll die.!! Youta! Youta!! Youta: N-Now. Ai-chan's scream. Natsumi: Eh? Natsumi: I didn't hear anything. Youta: Yes. I certainly heard "I'll die.!" Sound: Da. Natsumi: Hey! Where are you going? <117> Ai: Ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ai: Ah. Sound: Dofu. Sound: Hyu. <118> Sound: Baan. Sound: Dosa. Ai: U. Gu. Gugugu. Ai: Um. It really hurts. But, I'm saved by a clothes pole. And, she made one mistake, now I can run away. Anyway, I have to run away. Like this, I'd be perfectly killed. Ai: Hey! You failed. Even you can't jump this high! A Video Girl isn't Superman!! Mai: .Fu, that's right. <119> Ai: Bye! If we can, I'll see you again! Ai: How long am I going to hold onto this pipe. I don't need it now. Ai: Wh-what? Sound: Gugugu. Ai: It doesn't leave!? Mai: Hah. It won't leave you because I put my magnetism into it before I gave it to you. Look closely. My magnetism is all around your hand! Ai: Wh!? U. Mai: Like magnets attract each other!! Therefore, unless you can get rid of the pipe, no matter how far apart we are, my magnetism will hit you 100%!! Sound: Ba. <120> Ai: U. Sound: Kui. Ai: Kya. Sound: Buwa. Mai: This time, you won't just lose an arm. Ai: Gyaa!! Sound: Ba. <121> Youta: Uu!! A-Again! The bad expectation is getting stronger. Where are you, Ai-chan! I feel she's somewhere around here, but. Where:!? Nobuko: Oh. Oops. I was asked to buy snacks. Girl: It's okay. We can worry after we get there. Nobuko: It's okay. You go ahead, I'll go buy them. Girl: Okay, sure. Nobuko: Ah. Youta: No-Nobuko-chan.
