Episode 5
The Two Left Alone at Night
June 12th Absences Amamiya Manami
Until Manabi-chan gets out of the hospital,
it'll be just me and Mei-chan working at the Student Council.
Student Council Office
Organize these, please.
Umm, I'm doing... all of these?
Nothing...
S e i o h H i g h
That reminds me...
I've never actually spoken with Mei-chan one-on-one before.
I'll have a nice conversation with her...
...and eat dinner with her on the way home...
Here I go!
I'll be going.
Ah... there's no way I can pull it off...
It's like, without Manabi-chan, there's just nothing we can talk about.
Am I thinking about this too much?
Hey, Mikan.
Sorry, I have a softball prefectural tournament tomorrow.
I don't really have time for this.
But she's your friend, right?
Just bring up some random topic.
Random, as in?
Like, TV shows you saw the night before.
Mei-chan doesn't seem like she watches TV.
Then, CDs you've listened to recently.
She seems like the type that likes classical music,
and I don't know those.
Then she'll probably make fun of me.
If you need a helper, get Momo! Momo!
I've tried that.
You know Mei's that kind of a person.
All it takes, really, is for you to approach her.
But!
She just joined the Student Council,
so she's feeling more insecure than you.
Just be nice to her.
But!!!
Nee-chan, time for dinner.
I'm hanging up!
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
Gosh, that girl with no confidence.
Let's go, dinner time.
Mikan...
Etoh Mei
Hello?
Current Call Length
1min 12sec
SEE YOU TOMORROW
Eh?
I'm sorry, but I have some personal business, so I can't come today.
Ah, ah, I see.
Bye.
Are you guys closed now?
Did you ask her what her hobbies are, yet?
What do you guys talk about?
Did Etoh-san really make the CG for the School Fair?
Ah, I want to know, too!
U-Umm...
It was really great!
Honestly, isn't it tiring to be alone with her?
Of course...
Of course?
...not.
Student Council Office
...she's feeling more insecure than you.
Just be nice to her.
I want to be treated nice, too.
Sorry.
Ah, it's okay.
Mail...
Oh yeah!
I may...
I may not be able to say it with my mouth,
but through mail, if there's something we can talk about,
I'll be able to get close to her!
I'll be able to become friends with her!
I need to make the approach towards her!

M-Mei-chan...

Letter Set
Umm, what a coincidence.
Yeah.
Do you come here often?
Never.
I see!
Ahahaha...
Hahahaha!
Letter Set
Approach her, approach her!
Are you...
Are you going to write a letter?
Y-Yeah.
To whom?
Notebook
U-Umm...
Letter Set
To Manabi-chan...
I see.
Same here.
Letter Set
Notebooks
Bye.
To Mei-chan
Mikan!
It's morning!
Wake up!
I don't want to go...
Gosh, you'll be late.
Mom, today, I...
Oh, yes, yes.
There's a letter for you.
A letter?
It's not postmarked, so I think it was put directly in our box.
Here.
Today's breakfast is toast, okay?
You don't have much time, either.
I'll be going!
Wait, Mikan?!
After consulting Uehara-san over the phone,
she advised me to write a letter instead.
So, I am writing a letter to you.
I am not really good at speaking with people.
But, it is not that I do not want any friends either.
Although I'm not sure how to write this...
Ah, Mikan!
Why didn't you answer your phone last night...
Although I am not sure how to write this,
Inamori-san, you are nice and cheerful,
and I think it would be great if I could talk to you about various things.
Let's do our best in the Student Council, okay?
To Inamori-san

Amamiya Manami
A group of people are worried about the repercussions this has on the School Fair.
There's nothing to worry about.
Preparations for the School Fair have barely begun.
So, your absence has no effect?
There's still Mei-chan and Mikan-chan working at the Student Council,
so it'll be okay.
Probably.
By the way, Momo-chan...
Yes?
Where did you get that suit?
On the internet.
A theme?
Yeah.
During the previous General Assembly,
it became clear to me that you guys want to create a School Fair-like atmosphere.
But, without a more concrete plan as to what you're aiming for...
...or how the students are supposed to act...
If you don't give us guidelines,
it'll undoubtedly end up like last year,
where no one had a clue as to what was going on.
I see...
Ah, how about "exciting and wonderful"?
No... something a bit more...
In other words, something that can make the administration give approval to.
There are some faculties that are very worried about the School Fair being run by the students.
Right?
Really?
Seioh is a school that has a long history and places heavy emphasis on traditions.
It wouldn't be too surprising if there are teachers who are not pleased with how Amamiya-san is doing things.
That's so mean!
Shimojii, you traitor!
Unforgivable!
I think Shimojima-sensei is serving as a bridge for us.
That's why he wants us to come up with a theme that the naysayers can acknowledge.
R-Really, Shimojii?
Well, anyway.
Regardless of the situation,
I think you need a theme no matter what.
It would serve as a guide for you guys, as well.
I don't think it's a bad idea to think about it seriously at this point in time, okay?
Indeed.
Taking into account when Amamiya-san leaves the hospital,
well, if you have a week's time...
Yes, if we have that long to think about this...
Umm, Shimojii.
Can the two of us take care of this?
Uh, what?
Before...
Before Manabi-chan comes back, can't the two of us come up with the theme?
Gosh, Sensei's so irresponsible.
Saying that he wants to hear what kind of theme the two of us can come up with...
All of you speak before you think.
I don't.
I really wanted the two of us to think about the theme.
You and me, Mei-chan.
That's exactly what you call 'speaking before you think.'
Let's do our best, okay?
Mei-chan!
Yeah.
Making Friends Makes Sense
What the hell...

I ♥ Billy
Billy!
Rendez-vous Date
With who?
Hope
Love
and
Peace
Nothing good's coming to mind.
They're all okay for themes...
But why isn't anything good coming to mind?
Probably because...
...they're all nice but vague...
...and not exciting and dramatic...
That's right.
Oh yeah!
Come on! Come on!
We won't be able to win the tournament like that!
Final three laps!
Give it all you've-
So?
S-Something's coming ou-
Okay, then we're going for another lap!
Seioh!
Fight-O! Fight-O!
Let's do this our own way.
Fight-O! Fight-O!
Seioh!
A-Agreed.
Fight-O! Fight-O!
I swallowed it...
Fight-O! Fight-O!
Good that you didn't throw up something disgusting.
Fight-O! Fight-
Manabi-chan leaves hospital!

My Theory
Keep your language in the same style, avoid abstract expression and ambiguous words
Today's the deadline!
We're going to get into trouble, aren't we?
Don't worry, don't worry.
Oh, well.
Damn, I'm hungry.
You've burnt it too much!
I'm making it crispy on purpose!
Thanks for the meal!
I'm full, I'm full.
Hey.
You sure you don't need to call home?
Your family won't get worried?
Yeah.
Mei-chan.
You can see the stars better like this.
Good morning!
Student Council Office
Good morning!
Amamiya Manami has checked out of the hospital!
I asked everyone and they told me you guys are-
Oh my.
They're sleeping.
Huh?
Manabi-chan?
Umm, that document's-
This...
This is the best!
Don't hug me!!!
Just like how I became friends with Mei-chan,
From Friends to Buddies
and now I'm buddies with her,
I hope that through the School Fair...
...we can become buddies with more people.
From Friends to Buddies
With that thought...
Geez...
So sleepy.
We're still at the very beginning of things.
