Part 1

Pg. 7

Yoshiki: The high paying jobs are either a guardman or a tutor...

Yoshiki: Hm? What's wrong, Kasumi?

Pg. 8

Kasumi: ...Are you sure...it's okay that you don't go to T University?

Kasumi: You were planning on going there to begin with.

Kasumi: You can study your favorite archeaology...

Yoshiki: Fine, then I'll go to T University.

Kasumi: What!? You're really going to go!?

Yoshiki: Just kidding.

Kasumi's thoughts: Hey...

Pg. 9

Kasumi's thoughts: Wouldn't it be great if we could live in this little box together forever?

//kon kon// [knock knock]

//dokin// [thump]

Pg. 10

Kasumi's thoughts: Is it possibly...

Yoshiki: I'll get it.

Kasumi's thoughts: Kyoko-san again?

//gachya// [opens door]

Yoshiki: Oh...Miss Landlord...

Landlord: Here are the papers for the midway termination of your yearly contract. ?????

Landlord: It can be until you move next month.

Pg. 11

Lanlord: I was told all of a sudden and I didn't like it at first, but I lost to Suzumura-san's pushiness.

Kasumi: Termination of the apartment...!? Mom!? I can't believe she did this!

Yoshiki: ...This was a smart move by Mom.

Yoshiki: When I signed the contract, I was still underage, so I forgot that I wrote down Mom's name as my guardian.

Yoshiki: She has the right to terminate the contract.

Pg. 12

Yoshiki: ...Kasumi?

Kasumi's thoughts: This is awful. This is so unfair.

//rurururu// [ring ring]

Kasumi: ...No, don't answer that.

Pg. 13

//gachya// [Yoshiki answers phone]

Kasumi's mom: Hello?

Kasumi's mom: This is your mother...

Pg. 14

Hostess: Welcome.

Kasumi's mom: You guys were together after all...

Pg. 15

Yoshiki: What do you want, calling me here? Don't worry, I'll be out of the apartment by next month.

Kyoko's dad: I called you in today, Yoshiki-kun.

Yoshiki: Ojisan...Kyoko.

Kyoko's dad: Hello Kasumi-san. I've came with a great offer for your little brother today.

Yoshiki: Ojisan, I have declined to transfer to T University...

Kyoko's dad: Instead of going there as a student, what do you think about working there as my assistant?

Pg. 16

Kyoko's dad: This is a great chance for you to study archeaology and work at the same time.

Kyoko's dad: Of course, the university acknowledges this as well.

Kyoko's dad: You're going to be my son and Kyoko would really like you to do this as well.

//dokin dokin// [thump thump]

Kasumi's mom: And as a favor from Asada-san, you can live in the university's dorm too.

Kasumi's mom: So, Kasumi, you should come back with me.

Pg. 17

Kasumi: Excuse me...I'm going to use the restroom.

Kasumi's thoughts: This is unfair.

Kasumi's thoughts: They're all offers that Yoshiki can't refuse.

Kasumi's thoughts: An assisstant at T University!? Please don't go... He said he wouldn't go to T University!

Pg. 18

Kasumi's thoughts: We were so happy just a moment ago.

Kasumi's thoughts: Why does everyone try to shatter it? Why?

Kasumi: NOOOO!

Kasumi's thoughts: Why do you have to step into our lives?

Pg. 19

Kyoko: Are you done acting like a tragic heroin?

Pg. 20

Kasumi: You're cruel...

Kyoko: Who's cruel?

Kyoko: You're the one who took Yoshiki from me and you're here crying.

Kyoko: How easy.

Kyoko: As long as you cry like this, Yoshiki will do anything for you. You don't even realize that he's giving up everything in his life one by one.

Kasumi: Because Yoshiki...

Kyoko: Even today!

Kyoko: His future in archeaology...His credit and money...what a waste.

Pg. 21

Kyoko: I would really...

Kyoko: Do anything for him...

Kyoko: But...he has this baggage...

Kasumi: Kyoko-san...

Kyoko:  He'll probably decline the offer as an assistant too! For you! Because of you!

Pg. 22

Kyoko: How will you understand!? You, the one who just cries and gets spoiled!

Kyoko: DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND HOW USELESS YOU ARE!?

Pg. 23

Yoshiki: Kasumi!

Yoshiki: Let's go.

Kasumi: What? What about the offer as an assistant...?

Pg. 24

Yoshiki:  I declined.

Kyoko's words: "How..."

Kyoko: Tomorrow, there's going to be my father's book publication anniversary at the N hotel.

Kyoko: You better come to that, Yoshiki!

Pg. 25

Kyoko's words: "How useless you are..."

Pg. 26

Kasumi: N...Yoshi...I can't breathe...

//keho// [cough]

Yoshiki: What did Kyoko tell you?

Pg. 27

Kyoko's words: "This baggage"

Kasumi: Oh, nothing.

Kasumi: I told her, "Yoshiki isn't going to T University!" and then she told me, "What!?".

Kasumi's thoughts: Hey, truthfully...

Kasumi's thoughts: Aren't you regretting it just a little?

Yoshiki: Girls are so scary.

Pg. 28

Kasumi's thoughts: Can I give something back for having Yoshiki in my arms?

Kasumi's thoughts: Is it okay that I'm here?

Pg. 29

Kyoko's dad: Yoshiki-kun!

Yoshiki: Ojisan, I'm sorry about yesterday...

Kyoko's dad:  Oh, no.

Pg. 30

Kyoko's dad: Thank you for taking the position.

Yoshiki: What...?

Kasumi: My little brother...

Pg. 31

Kasumi: Please take good care of him.

Yoshiki: Kasumi...!?

Kyoko's dad: Okay, Yoshiki-kun, let's go over there.

Kyoko's dad: I'll introduce you and Kyoko together to the press.

Yoshiki:  Why did you do that...!?

Kyoko's dad: Let' sgo.

Yoshiki: Kasumi!

Pg. 32

Man: Today, we are celebrating the anniversary of your publication and this is your 10th literary work, but

Man: You have something else exciting to announce, right?

Kyoko's dad: Sorry that I'm the who's announcing this, but my dear daughter has just married.

Kyoko's dad: And my new son, Yoshiki-kun, is going to be my assistant.

Pg. 33

Kyoko's dad: And someday, I would like to do successful research together with my son.

Woman: They look so good together.

Woman 2: Look, she looks so happy.

Press: Excuse me, could we take your picture?

Press: Get a little closer.

Pg. 34

Kasumi's thoughts:  ...I want to go to that place...

Kasumi's thoughts: I want to go.

Kasumi's thoughts: I want to go.

Kasumi's thoughts: I want to go.

Pg. 35

Kasumi's thoughts: If only I could shout out that he's mine...

Kyoko: This is a great place to do this, so I'm going to introduce everyone.

Kyoko: My husband's sister...

Kyoko: Kasumi Suzumura-san.

Pg. 36

Kyoko:  Please introduce yourself over here, sister.

Kasumi's thoughts: It'll be alright.

Kasumi's thoughts: This is nothing.

Kasumi: Um...

Pg. 37

Kasumi: ...I'm...Yoshiki's sister...

Kasumi's thoughts: I told myself that this is for Yoshiki.

Pg. 38

Kasumi: ...Actually...

Kasumi: In the beginning...

Kasumi: My brother declined to take this offer.

Kasumi: But...

Kasumi: Us siblings that got seperated after our parents divorced...

Pg. 39

Kasumi: We met again in the ruins of Rome.

Kasumi: Because he was studying archeaology, I was able to meet him.

Kasumi's thoughts: Do you remember?

Kasumi's thoughts: At that miraclulous place, our love began.

Pg. 40

Kasumi's thoughts: I can't give you anything, but...

Kasumi: That's why I didn't want him to give it up...

Kasumi's thoughts: I can hold it in...

Pg. 41

Kyoko: Th...thank you, sister.

Press: You're more like the younger sister than an older sister.

Press: I'm about to cry for your brother.

Press: Are you troubling your little brother because you can't seperate from him?

Press: Maybe that's why Yoshiki-kun hasn't been saying anything?

Kasumi's thoughts: This is all I can handle.

Kasumi: Um...I'm going to excuse myself now.

Pg. 44

Yoshiki: That's right.

Yoshiki: We get along so well to the point where Kyoko gets jealous.

Yoshiki: Truthfully...

Yoshiki: I didn't care about my future or my credit.

Pg. 45

Yoshiki: If she would've forgave me...

Yoshiki:  I'm the one who is troubling her and can't let go of her...

Yoshiki:  I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but...

Pg. 46

Yoshiki: I don't know who I married when it comes to this.

Pg. 47

Kasumi's thoughts: Yoshiki's...

Pg. 48

Kasumi's thoughts: Hand that grabbed me was so hot that...

Kasumi's thoughts: Even the promise of the future and the bright honor....

Kasumi's thoughts: I felt like he was saying I was the most important to him...

~Part 2~

Pg. 49

//zaaaa// [water running]

Yoshiki's words: "I don't know who I married"

Pg. 50

Kasumi: Mom...!

Kasumi's mom: Let's go home together, Kasumi.

Kasumi's mom: You don't feel bad for Kyoko-san and her family!?

Kasumi's mom: Saying such things with all those people...!

//dokun dokun// [thump thump]

Kasumi's mom: But if he's going to be Asada-san's assistant, he's going to be living at the T University dorms.

Kasumi: Mom, you're hurting me...!

Kasumi's mom: There's no place for you!

Kasumi's thoughts: Yoshiki!

Kasumi: Let go!

Pg. 51

Yoshiki: What are you doing!?

//pashi// [slap]

Pg. 53

Kasumi's mom: Why....?

Pg. 54

Kasumi's mom: What did I do wrong? Why were you born!?

Kasumi's mom: Did you come into this world to torture me!?

Pg. 55

Kasumi's mom: Why...!?

Kasumi's thoughts: I'm sorry, Mom.

Pg. 56

Kasumi's thoughts:  Please forget about us.

Yoshiki: Ojisan just told me this, but...

Yoshiki: He already wants me to leave to Shizuoka tomorrow for an excavation.

Yoshiki: I might be gone for 3 weeks at the most.

Kasumi: You're going to be gone for that long...?

Kasumi's thoughts: I wonder if it's true...

Kasumi's mom's words: "If he's going to be Asada-san's assistant, he's going to live in the T University dorms"

Pg. 58

Yoshiki: When I get back, get ready to move

Yoshiki: And find an apartment for us. A cheap place.

Kasumi: Yoshiki....what about the dorms...?

Yoshiki: I'm not going. I can't live away from you.

Pg. 59

Yoshiki: We don't have many things to begin with since we both decided to run away.

Kasumi:  Yeah.

Yoshiki: You can fit into a bag, so it can be a smaller apartment than this.

Kasumi: Even though I tremble?

Yoshiki: You can just make me your bad.

Kasumi: ...A bed that probably won't let me go to sleep.

Pg. 60

Kasumi: Hello, Yoshiki?

Kasumi: How is it over there? Are you always out on excavations?

Yoshiki: Yeah, everyday is boring.

Kasumi: Kyoko-san...isn't there, is she?

Yoshiki: Don't worry.

Pg. 61

Kasumi: Hey, do you think you'll be able to come back by the 24th? It's your birthday.

Yoshiki: Hmmm...I don't think I can.

Yoshiki:  When I get back, we can have a party along with the celebration of our move.

Kasumi: Whaaat? But it's your special 20th birthday!

Pg. 62

Kasumi: You're just afraid!

Pg. 68

Kasumi: If it were me...!

Ren: Ha...

Pg. 69

Ren: That's right. I'm a coward.

Pg. 71

Kasumi's thoughts: That's what...

Kasumi's thoughts: We want to ask.

Kasumi: Stop it...

Pg. 72

Kasumi's thoughts: We just love each other.

Kasumi's thoughts: We're the only ones that are wrong?

Kasumi: ...However dirty it is...

Kasumi: You took good care of me, so I wasn't sad.

Kasumi: That's why I wanted to take good care of you too...

Pg. 79

Kasumi: I wanted to be the first one to tell you happy birthday.

Kasumi: I wanted to see your last day being 19 and

Kasumi: I was in front of your hotel when I saw you come out...so I followed you.

Kasumi: Let's countdown together.

Pg. 80

Kasumi: How many more minutes?

Yoshiki: 5 minutes...about 4 minutes and 30 seconds, I guess. 22...20...

Kasumi:  You know what, Yoshiki?

Kasumi:  I think I was lonely.

Yoshiki: Sorry I've been gone for so long.

Yoshiki: I'm the one who should've gone home...

Kasumi: No, I'm not talking about this time. Of course, I'm lonely that you're not there right now too.

Yoshiki: ...Be stronger and bigger.

Pg. 85

Yoshiki: So I could protect you from everything and anything.

Kasumi's thoughts: Why?

Kasumi's thoughts: But...

Pg. 86

Kasumi's thoughts: Just today....
