Kame: Hagk. {coff coff} captain: Kame-chan, do you have a cold? Kame: Don't call me Kame! [you're all the same] (an arrow points to the "whistle" at the captains mouth; a second arrow points to Kame saying "is hanging around as if completely natural") captain: Uwah, what a voice. [sounds really scratchy] Kame: Hmm, my throat doesn't hurt that much. It's just been kinda weird lately. Tohko: (watching them) ... Tohko: I think she must be mixed... half Japanese? Tohko: I already knew it, but she really is pretty. Tohko: She's someone who could stand on the same level as Wataru. P.161 Tohko: It's amazing that she can play basketball with him even though she's a girl... (Tohko catches Kame looking at her) Tohko: {gasp} Tohko: !! captain: (to the players) Okay, that's good! {fweeeet} Tohko: Ah, er, are you alright? Tohko: I have some candies with me... [they're honey flavored] Kame: ! Kame: (loudly) Are you a moron? (Kame takes one of the candies anyway) Kame: Hmph. (writing says "but she still eats one") Tohko: [moron... I give her candy and I'm still a moron...] Tohko: [darnit] P.162 (Kame starts messing around with Tohko's head) Kame: I bet you've had the same face since you were a little kid. Tohko: !! (Wataru appears, grabs Kame and yanks her away) Wataru: Kame, come with me! (he glances at Tohko briefly) Tohko: (looking away) {b-bump!} P.163 (Wataru and Kame have a private conversation in a huddle a short distance away) Tohko: !! Tohko: German? captain: Miura, have you done the uniform check yet? Tohko: Ah, yeah. I bundled them all together and put them in the club room. captain: Make sure not to forget them tomorrow. [the tape too] Tohko: [ah] Yeah... (she glances at Wataru and Kame) Tohko: ... It's not fair. What are they chattering about? Tohko: I don't get it at all........!! player: Manager! Tohko: {gasp} P.164 (the basketball slams into Tohko's face) Wataru: Tohko!! (her glasses fall to the ground, cracked) P.165 captain: (to Tohko) Are you alright?! captain: Somebody bring a towel over! player: Okay! captain: Miura! player: Manager! Wataru: Tohko! Wataru: (pushing through the crowd) Are you alr...?? (he freezes when he sees Tohko grabbing onto the captain's sweatshirt, as the latter kneels down to check her out) captain: How's your head? Was it hit bad? Tohko: Ug... I don't think so. P.166 (Tohko puts a hand over her injured face) Tohko: Oog, I feel dizzy...... Tohko: Huh? Why's everything so blurry...? Tohko: {gasp} My glasses...! (a couple red drops fall to the floor) player: Uwa, blood! Tohko: Eh?? player: Is her nose bleeding?! Tohko: No way! How embarrassing... (a hand pushes her head down) Tohko: !! [mnph] voice: Don't look up! Tohko: Wataru...? Wataru: Keep your head down. Press this to your nose. P.167 Tohko: I can't really see his face. Tohko: Sorry... my glasses-- Wataru: Nevermind, just sit down! Wataru: Leave it all to me! player: Uwaa, her glasses are broken. Kame: It's splintered. [be careful] (Tohko sits alone with a cloth to her nose, watching the blurred images) Tohko: ...... I'm completely useless now. Tohko: So he probably won't need me anymore. P.168 Tohko: He's probably going to be taken away by that person. Tohko: Wataru... (Tohko's eyes start to water) Tohko: I can't see Wataru's expression. P.169 Tohko: I can't see what he's feeling........ (the day of the big meet) player: This is our first meet ever, huh? player: It seems like it's come so fast. P.170 player: Don't you wish you could just watch it instead. player: Kind of. player: I'm feelin' pretty nervous too. player: Me too. (Tohko follows behind, lugging supplies and lacking glasses) Tohko: ........ Tohko: I've got a big headache from the lack of sleep and blurry vision........... (the players go inside the building) Tohko: {gasp} (she looks around frantically) Tohko: Ah, huh? Where'd everyone go?! Tohko: [where am I?!] Tohko: I-I can't see. Tohko: Umm, umm-- P.171 (someone grabs her arm) Wataru: This way. Tohko: Ah... P.172 (Wataru walks away from Tohko once they get inside the building) Tohko: He still seems to be in a bad mood... captain: (to Tohko) It must be quite a pain. Are you doing alright? Tohko: Ah, yeah. captain: How did it go at the optometrist? Tohko: Wataru helped me out a lot after what happened, but he hardly said a word... Tohko: They said it would take about a week to fix them. captain: I see, I'm really sorry. Tohko: It's not like it was your fault, captain. captain: Miura, have you ever considered getting contacts? ~Wataru: Don't switch to contacts. Tohko: Well... P.173 ~Wataru: Because when you take your glasses off, my face will be the only thing you'll be able to see. Tohko: I feel like a fool for taking those words so seriously. Tohko: Maybe, after all... captain: Oh yeah, why don't you hand out the uniforms now. We better get ready. Tohko: Ah, yeah... Tohko: !! Tohko: No way......! (she kneels down and opens up her bag) captain: Miura? P.174 captain: Miura? What's wrong? (Wataru looks back at them) Tohko: Idiot. Tohko: The uniforms... Tohko: I'm an idiot... Tohko: I forgot them...!! P.175 (filler page) P.176 Tohko: What should I do...?! captain: You forgot the uniforms...? All of them?! (Wataru watches in silence) P.177 (a couple of the club members glance back at them) player: Hey, what's up? captain: Ah, sorry, would you guys go on ahead? captain: (to Tohko) Did you leave them back at school? Tohko: Ah... Tohko: What am I going to do...?? Wataru: ...... Tohko: This was my responsibility...! (someone puts his hand on her shoulder) P.178 Tohko: Eh... Wataru: We're going back. Tohko: Ah... Tohko: I-I'll go alone... Wataru: You can't see, remember? captain: ! captain: Hey, Nishizaki?! P.179 Wataru: (to the captain) Try to stall until we get back! And hide it from the rest of the players. captain: We have 50 minutes! Make sure you come back in time! (Wataru leads Tohko out the door) Tohko: Wataru........!! (outside the building is Kame, who's ridden over on a bicycle) Wataru: Ah! P.180 Wataru: Kame! Lend me your bike! Tohko: ! Tohko: Kame-san?! She's here... Wataru: (on the bike) Tohko! Get on behind me. Tohko: Uh, ok... (she looks back at Kame's blurred form, as they ride away) P.181 (they ride along while Tohko grips Wataru's shirt) Tohko: ... I'm sorry. Wataru: If you're going to apologize, apologize to everyone. Wataru: Where has your mind been lately? Wataru: No matter what else has been going on, you shouldn't shirk your duties as manager, right? P.182 Tohko: ... Sorry. Tohko: I really am... terrible. Tohko: Everyone has been practicing so hard everyday, and I-- (she clasps her hands around Wataru's waist) Wataru: ... Did something happen between you and Kame? Tohko: {b-bump} Wataru: Ever since Kame showed up, you've been acting weird. P.183 Tohko: ... You too. Wataru: What? Tohko: ...... Tohko: You've also been acting weird ever since Kame-san showed up...... Wataru: Is it something you can't say to me? Wataru: You never told me before that you didn't want to make bentous for me... Tohko: Ah...! P.184 Wataru: You don't seem to mind giving them to other guys! Tohko: That was...! Tohko: But that was...! Wataru: Dammit...! Wataru: This isn't the time to be discussing this! P.185 (they arrive at the club room) P.186 (the bag of uniforms is sitting on top of the table) Tohko: There it is! (she picks it up) Tohko: It's alright, everything's here. Wataru: Ok, let's go bac... (he accidentally hits his foot on the base of a stand) Wataru: !! Wataru: (kneeling down) Owww. Tohko: Are you ok...? Tohko: {gasp} P.187 Tohko: His left ankle...?! Tohko: Wataru...! Tohko: I forgot about that!! Tohko: What if he can't appear in the match, after riding that bike around...!! Tohko: Does your ankle hurt?! I'm sorr...! Wataru: ... No. Wataru: That's not it...! Wataru: [uuuuu] Tohko: Huh? What?! Wataru: I stubbed my pinky toe! Tohko: Oh... P.188 Tohko: Ohh... Tohko: What the... Wataru: ...... There's really nothing wrong with my left ankle. Wataru: I injured it a long time ago practicing with Kame. Wataru: And that brat just worries too much. Wataru: (standing up) Ok, let's go back now. Tohko: ... P.189 Tohko: ... Are you going back to Germany with Kame-san.......? Wataru: ... Huh? Tohko: Ka...Kame-san said so. Tohko: I'm... an idiot. Tohko: Kame-san came to take you back, right...? P.190 Tohko: I know this isn't the time to talk about this, Wataru: What are you saying...? Tohko: Why did you want me to be manager? Tohko: I don't know much about basketball. I screw up this much...! Tohko: but-- Tohko: I'm not very helpful, right?! Tohko: But......! P.191 Wataru: Hey, wai... Tohko: And you're always irritated at me! Tohko: I have no idea what you're thinking...! (Wataru stares at her in surprise) Tohko: .......... Tohko: ... I can't see the expression on his face. Tohko: Ka..Kame-san also......... seems to suit you better. Tohko: Kame-san knows you a lot better than I do. Tohko: An... and you're close enough that you kissed...! Tohko: He must be sick of me. P.192 Wataru: Hey... Tohko: I'm so stupid. Tohko: Kame-san has been staying at your place this whole time, right? I had no idea! Tohko: I'm just embarrassing myself. Wataru: Hey! Tohko: I didn't hear anything about it! Tohko: It's always me being thrown around.......! Wataru: Hey, I said! Tohko! P.193 (he grabs her wrist) Wataru: Could it be that you're jealous? Tohko: ...Eh. (she turns bright red) Tohko: Wha... I... P.194 Tohko: Th... that's not it...! Wataru: Tohko. (she starts struggling, while he holds her by thte wrists) Wataru: Woah. Tohko: You're wrong!

Tohko: Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Tohko: I-I can't see! (she flails around, while an arrow points to her saying "monkey") Wataru: C'mon, just do it. Tohko: No! Tohko: Idiot!! Wataru: Come on. (he turns her around) Tohko: No way! Wataru: Look at me! Tohko: I told you I can't see...! P.195 (he pinches her cheek) Wataru: [hey] Open your eyes. (she opens them, and sees his face smiling right in front of her) Wataru: You see, don't you? Tohko: ... A smile close enough to surpass my bad vision. P.196 Tohko: ... It's no good. Tohko: Uh...huh.... (he kisses her) P.197 Wataru: (grinning widely) Toko-chan will always be mine forever, right? Tohko: I give up. Tohko: I'm weak against this face.

(the uniforms are handed out and the match begins) Tohko: No matter what anyone says, P.199 Tohko: even if Kame does suit Wataru better, Tohko: it doesn't matter. Tohko: It can't be helped. Tohko: After all-- P.200 player: Nishizaki! (Wataru dunks, making the final and winning point of the game) {beeep} spectator: Alright! P.201 Tohko: I love Wataru.

(Wataru and Kame stare at Tohko in surprise) P.204 (Kame's face goes blank, and Wataru makes the cutest expression while trying to hold in his laughter) Wataru: {hic hic} Wataru: ... Kame: ........ You said-- (Wataru buries his face in his towel) Kame: (bright red) You, don't tell me... Tohko: [do you want a candy?] Tohko: Huh? (Wataru can't hold it back anymore) Wataru: [BWAAHAHAHA] Wataru: Ohhh, that's a good one! Kame: Don't laugh, you bastard! Kame: (to Tohko) Where are you lookin', monkey?! I'm a MAN! P.205 (Tohko and the rest of the club members are thrown back in shock) Tohko & club: EHHHHHHH?! Kame: ! (Kame starts attacking the basketball players) Kame: You dickheads! I'll kill you all! player: B-but! You kissed Nishizaki, didn't you?? Wataru: (wiping the tears out of his eyes) This guy always does that to people he likes. Wataru: Cuz he's a little brat. [he likes manhandling] Wataru: [hehehe, ahh, my stomach hurts] Wataru: He doesn't usually kiss them though. [now that you mention it] Tohko: Then... then, what about "Erika"? Wataru: It was a petname from childhood. Because he was just like a type of pink flower called "Erika". (hmmmm, ok...) P.206 (Kame grabs one of the club members in a neck-hold) Tohko: H...huh. Tohko: So that was it...... (Wataru wraps an arm around Tohko's neck) Wataru: No wonder you've been upset. Tohko: ! Wataru: If you're jealous then say so! Wataru: ... I'll say it too. Wataru: From now on, don't let any other guys eat your bentous. Tohko: ... So-- P.207 Wataru: Promise me... Tohko: If Wataru only says these selfish things to me, Tohko: is it ok to be a little conceited...? (Tokyo? international airport) Kame: Christ. P.208 Kame: What a bunch of rude jerks! What part of me looks like a girl?? Tohko: Sorry. Tohko: The voice is like a different person. It's kind of creepy... Wataru: But you must be relieved now. Kame: ... I guess. Wataru: The injury hasn't had any effect on my basketball playing. So stop worrying about it already. Kame: It's cuz you haven't kept in touch with me though. Kame: I thought maybe you couldn't for some reason! Wataru: [ahaha, sorry ok?] Make sure you call me first, next time you come. Wataru: I'll definitely make time for you then. P.209 (Kame wraps his arms around Wataru and kisses him on the cheek) Kame: Saay, Wataru. You wouldn't mind buying me some chocolates before I go, would you? Wataru: Don't hit on me with that deep voice. [it grosses me out] Wataru: Oh well, guess it can't be helped. [geez] (Wataru walks off to go to a duty-free shop) Tohko: ... I guess I can't avoid being envious of Kame-san. Tohko: The "best friend" is a special thing. Tohko: He shares something with Wataru that I couldn't understand. (Kame grabs Tohko's cheeks) Kame: You probably can't wait for me to leave, huh?? Tohko: N-nod ad ahl. [aow] Tohko: ... But. P.210 Kame: Ahhh, how dull. Maybe I should take Wataru back with me after all. Tohko: No way. Tohko: I love Wataru. So I won't give him to you. Kame: ... So, you finally said it. [heheh] P.211 (Kame kisses Tohko lightly on the lips) Tohko: ......!! (Wataru drops the gift boxes in horror) Wataru: Aaaaghhh!! P.212 Wataru: Why you, Kamenosukee!! Kame: [gyahahahaha] Wataru: Didn't I tell you not to touch Tohko?!! Kame: (grinning) If you get too possessive people won't like you. Wataru: (snarling) Save the advice! Tohko, we're going home!! (he grabs her arm) Tohko: Wha-- P.213 (he starts to drag her away) Tohko: B...but, what about Kame-san...? Wataru: Forget 'im! (Tohko glances back at Kame) Kame: (blowing a kiss) Tata. Tohko: Wata...! Wataru: (still dragging her) Geez, you really are flaky! Tohko: Wataru. Wataru: You're always leaving yourself open! Try to pay attention a little more! P.214 Wataru: This is why I can't let you out of my sight! Man! Wataru: Why do I have to be thrown about like this! Tohko: His angry face-- Wataru: Ahh, I'm so pissed off! That bastard Kame. Tohko: the hand biting into my arm-- P.215 Tohko: Somehow I'm so happy Tohko: that I can't help laughing. (Wataru turns around and glares at her) Wataru: What the hell are you laughing about?! Don't tell me you're glad that Kame kissed you......?? Tohko: [hehe] You kissed him too. Wataru: That's different--! P.216 (Tohko pulls Wataru down by the collar of his shirt and kisses him on the cheek) (ahhh, this is so cute!!) P.217 Tohko: Even if I'm imitating his behavior, Tohko: Because you'll always be mine only forever. (Wataru wipes at his cheek with the back of his hand, with a deep blush spread across his face) Wataru: ! Tohko: it's only with eachother. P.218 Wataru: Damnit... Tohko: I won't give him to anyone. (he pulls off her glasses) Tohko: Pushy, selfish, and jealous, (their feet face eachother) Wataru: Even if you say it bothers you, I'm not letting you go... Tohko: a cute demon all for me. P.219 (Wataru holds Tohko's hand lightly by two fingers) Wataru: ... About tomorrow's bentou, put some cheese tamago-yaki in it. Tohko: You're being selfish again. Wataru: So what? It's always been my dream to have a girl I like make bentous for me. Tohko: Eh...? (The End)
