--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) It's about closing time, I had to run all the way here.
(Kouno) Since I heard that Kyouko also made a bank account here.
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Kyouko-chan said she wants to save some money woking part time before graduation. Isn't she great
You also, Kouno-kun?
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) Well, I'm like that, too.

(Kouno) So you're called "Saho"?
(Saho) Eh?
(on the nameplate) Saho Emoto
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) My first name?
(Saho) Ah, you're right.
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) It's a wonderful name.
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Ehe~ You're the first one saying that~~
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) I'm sorry, sorry. So you want to open an account.

--------------------------------------------
(Saho) That's
what he told me. Mommy got so flustered.
(Masafumi) I see.
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Kouno-kun seems like a good kid.
(Masafumi) ...
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) I heard that Kouno-kun's father is the president of Kouno Foods.
Maybe that's why he seems reliable.

--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) So
the manager told me that I can wokr full time once I graduate from highschool. How about that?
(Masafumi) Is it a soba place? I think that's fine.
--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) What's with that half-assed answer?
コ―ン カ―ン コ―ン Bing-bong

--------------------------------------------
(Masafumi) ... Going full time
may be better for you.
--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) Well, I'll think about that!
--------------------------------------------
(Masafumi) Deciding your carrer sooner would be better for you.
(Miyoshi) You're right. But...
--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) I really want to leave home as soon as possible.
--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) If I could choose anything, I would get a job providing a dorm, paying well, and being comfy and enjoyable.
But I know that's a pipe dream.

--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) Well...
(Kouno) I went to your classroom. But you weren't there. You didn't answer my call or message...
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) I was worried about you.
(Miyoshi) I'm sorry...
I didn't check the phone...
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) Perhaps, you two ate lunch together?
(Miyoshi) Ah... This is...
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) What the heck~~ you could invite me~~~!
--------------------------------------------
(Miyoshi) Kouno-kun... I thought that you wanted to eat lunch with your friends...
(Kouno) I don't care about those guys.
You didn't have to worry about them.

(Masafumi) Bye.
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) Ah

(Kouno) Yesterday, I met your mother.
(Masafumi) Well, she told me.
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) Emoto, I'm jealous of you. I want a mother like her, too.
(Masafumi) That's...
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) How come she is a divorcee with a son? She doesn't look like that.
(Kouno) She must be popular, right?

(Kouno) Believe or not, I always have a thing for older women?
(Kouno) I think that I can go out with her.
Can I confess to her?
--------------------------------------------
(Masafumi) Eh...
Wha...
--------------------------------------------
(Masafumi) ... You can go ahead and confess to her.
(Kouno) Are you for real.
Eh~ Can I really confess to her.

(Kouno) If I go out with her, I'll keep Kyouko as a sidechick.
Isn't that neat...
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) I was just teasing you. Got ya~~~~!!
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno) It was a joke, just a joke!
Don't take it personally.
(Kouno) Even though I really like older women.
I told you I was joking! Just laugh it off, Emoto.
--------------------------------------------
(Masafumi) HAHA...

(Kouno) No, I don't.
--------------------------------------------
(Kouno's friend) I also want a kind and cute girlfriend like Miyoshi-san.
(Kouno's friend) That's impossible for you.
(Kouno) She's not that great. And sometimes She nags me.

(Kouno) I'm going to toilet.

(Kouno's friend) Haha, that's awful.

(Saho) Do you often come here?
--------------------------------------------
(Watanabe) I've been here just twice or three times. I'm sorry for not bring you somewhere fancy.
(Saho) Don't mention it! I prefer places like this.
--------------------------------------------
(Watanabe) Then, it's fine...
Ah, how is Masafumi-kun doing.
(Saho) He is doing well
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Masafumi isn't a child anymore.
--------------------------------------------
(Watanabe) What kinds of things make you feel that way?
(Saho) Well, we no longer go out together.

(Watanabe) If someone see me going out with my mom, that will be embarrassing. I understand him.
(Saho) Eh~~ I see~~~ He would feel embarrassed.
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Recently, he don't even see me in the eyes.
(Watanabe) That's the way it is.
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) Masafumi wants to go to the university.
We may only be able to live together for about a year.
--------------------------------------------
(Watanabe) Wouldn't you feel lonely once he leave home?
--------------------------------------------
(Saho) That would be loney.
How about Watanabe-san?
(Watanabe) I have my parents and also there's my cat~~
