These days, no matter what I'm doing Saikin boku wa nani o suru koto ni mo
His face keeps popping up Aitsu no kao ga dete kuru
Twenty-four hours is chock-full oftime Niijyuu-yoijikan to iu gisshiri no ijikan mo
But he's tied it all up Aitsu ga shimete shimatta
Now, I'm gonna start working Saa shigoto o haijimeyou
But he always gets in my way Dakedo aitsu ga ijama o shite shimau
I'm a really, really, really, really hard worker Bari bari bari bari no shigoto ningen desu
No matter what I'm doing, Nani o suru no mo aitsu no koto
I can't help but think about him... kangaete shimatte boku ga
...and my mind is filled with him aitsu de ippai ni naru
I ijust can't do anything now... Tonikaku ima wa aitsu ga ite kurenai
...unless he's there for me to boku wa nani mo dekinai
He's always there inside... Aitsu ga boku no naka ni
...me, me, me, me, me, me, me iru iru iru iru iru iru iru
Super Friends
I just had to get 'em. These ID tags.
All three of us have matching ones.
Wearing this, I feel like I'll have you guys with me wherever I go.
You've been busy with your relationship lately,
so we haven't seen much ofyou, after all.
Relationship? Katase and I aren't like that yet...
Aya, are you maybe pretending to be alright?
What?
Ifyou ran away because it's too painful or something,
Miyu doesn't think that's good.
I want you to become lovey-dovey with the person you really like.
Don't worry.
I don't think I'm pretending.
No prob, no prob.
If it's what Aya's decided, then it's okay.
As long as you're happy, we're happy, too.
Thank you.

Heart ¦ Aching > Otohata's Words
Good old Shibuya!
Hachi! Long time no see! There, there!
I'd take Shibuya's Hachi over Bukuro's Ikefukurou any day!
Hey, it's Second Place!
"Second Place"?!
What a beautiful and nostalgic ring it has!
Brother!
Long time no see!
Second Place, treat me to something!
Sure thing, Ran! What do you wanna eat?!
Ma-
-mi-
-ri-
-n!
Hey, those're...
...new boots!
Great, aren't they? Yuya bought them for me.
You're rich, so don't make him buy things foryou!
Having your boyfriend buy it foryou is the good part.
Well, your boyfriend's eternally poor, so I guess it ain't happening.
Ouch!
Hey, brother, that really hurt.
You go work a little, too!
Mami-rin said if I bought her presents,
I could visit Shibuya from time to time, so I worked my butt off!
Just so I could see Ran.
Second Place, I had no idea you loved Shibuya that much.
You make me cry.
N-No, that's not it. I want to see you...
Shibuya time is over!
What?! AIready?! You said I could stay here all day today!
I've changed my mind.
Starting now, I've decided it's lovey-dovey time with Mami-rin!
N-No way...
Ran!
Hey, Second Place! At least treat me to something before going!
Brother, adios amigo! Hey, Second Place! At least treat me to something before going!
Brother, adios amigo!
Oh, Aya!
You're late! It's way past the time we were supposed to meet up.
Sorry, I kind of have to cancel today.
What?
There's an exhibition that ends today...
...and Katase says he really wants to see it with me...
Miss Hoshino, let's go.
Oh, sorry!
Bye.
It's not like Aya to ditch us at the last minute.
Well, it just goes to show how lovey they are, right?
I hope that's the case...
Municipal ShibuyaArtMuseum
Municipal Shibuya ArtMuseum What did you think?
W-Well...
Modern Asian ArtExhibit
I actually don't know much about art...
Modern Asian ArtExhibit
It doesn't really matter if you don't know.
What's great...
...is seeing the real thing in places like this.
I see.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just thinking that Ran and the others would get bored right away.
I know!
Why don't we go hang out somewhere with Ran and the others next time?
What's wrong?
Sure, when there's time.
Okay.
What's that?
Oh, this?
It's a matching piece with Ran and Miyu.
I think it's better not to wear such flashy things too much.
What?
You have a clean image,
so there's some sense of incongruity there.
You think so?
I can't get used to school at night,
no matter how many times I've been on night-watch duty.
What?!
Wha?!
It's here!
Oh, I'm getting off!
The doors are closing. Please be careful.
I'm getting off! I'm getting off! The doors are closing. Please be careful.
Please stay behind the yellow Iine.
Otohata...
You'll miss your stop if you're spaced out.
T-Thank you.
Long time no see.
Could it be that you've heard some things from Ran and the others?
Yeah, vaguely.
If it's what you've decided, that's fine.
What?
Okay.
Later.
Miss Hoshino.
Morning.
Morning, Katase.
"Give a colloquial translation for the following underlined part."
"...compassion for others..."?
One-two smash!
Bring it on!
The match is 5 to 2 right now! Kotobuki is leading!
"P-Punctuate this textwith return marks."
"The nation shattered, mountains and river...."
Miracle Shot!
Stop!

You're right. We're sorry. You're right. We're sorry.
No, well, you don't have to all apologize together.
Ouch.
What's this? A paper plane?
Kotobuki,
This is a top secret mission.
You are to come to the Student Counseling Room...
...without being detected by anyone. Nakanishi.
It's probably to lecture you on something, right?
Naka Teach is such a cute old guy.
Using a paper plane...
I sort of feel like 007.
Short on sleep?
A little.
Katase, I haven't asked what Ran and the others have planned yet,
but how about we all go to karaoke on the way home?
What? But...
Finals are coming up, so we can't just play all the time, right?
Let's study together today.
What?
Okay?
S-Sure.
Naka Teach, you here?!
Were you seen by anyone?
I-I don't think so.
Then, I will get to the subject at hand.
Kotobuki, do you believe in ghosts?
Huh?! Huh? What's this about?
One showed up...
A ghost...
Pfff (^o^) Pfff! That's so stupid! Are you serious, Naka Teach?!
I really saw it! I've got night-watch duty again tonight!
Come make the rounds with me!
That's the top secret mission? This is stupid.
Kotobuki, I'm begging you!
No way. I'm watching the "Shibuyan" special tonight.
Is that so?
Ifyou got a photo ofthe ghost, it'll be a huge scoop.
Huge Scoop Weird Ghost! And on top ofthat, if it got used on a paranormal TV show,
I'll bet you'd get a ton of reward money!
What?!
Will you do it? Or won't you?
Reward Will you do it? Or won't you?
Reward
Leave it to me! You got it!
I think this area will probably be covered in the final.
Since the mid-to-late Edo Era tends to be the focus.
Say, Katase, I heard Ran's starting a job in Shibuya Center today.
How about we go see how she's doing after this?
Sorry, I've got plans.
I see...
Sparkly eyes!
Contact lenses!
Say, aren't these lines pretty embarrassing to say?
Can't be helped. It's all for the boots.
Just work and don't complain.
Famous Brands Contact Lenses Store on Koen-mae Street
Sparkly eyes!
Contact lenses!
They're 30% off right now!
Say, Ran, Aya's always with Katase lately, isn't she?
So it means they're still in lovey-dovey mode, right?
I hear Katase's the son of a rich family...
I'd hate it if Aya becomes harder to approach, too.
Hey, Miyu, what're you saying?
Our solidarity's tougher than a rock!
No prob, no prob! There's nothing to worry about!
Yeah, you're right. Sorry for being so silly.
The bond we share isn't so fragile, is it?
Other than that,
just remember the major dates around here and you should be all set.
Thank you.
I absolutely can't afford to mess up this final,
so you've been a great help.
Well, I just hope my predictions are right.
I'm sure it'll be fine. This is your prediction...
...and you always get over 90 points.
So, I guess you're still wearing that...
I still think it's better ifyou don'twearthings like that.
But this matches what Ran and Miyu have, so...
You know, you've changed.
What?
When you first came to the school,
you weren't the type of girl to wear accessories.
K-Katase...
Maybe it'd be better ifyou didn't hang out with that crowd.
"That crowd"? You mean Ran and the others?
Yeah.
It's their fault that you've changed.
You wear flashier outfits and put on accessories...
Ifyou're with them, people will thinkyou're stupid, too.
You're worthy of more intellectual-
That's awful!
I neverthoughtyou were the kind of person to saythings like that!
You're the one who doesn't understand!
We're a lot like one another.
You want the approval ofyour parents and the school too, right?!
You always want to be in a position to be praised, right?!
If so, you have to eliminate the things that get in your way!
No! If so, you have to eliminate the things that get in your way!
No!
Miss Hoshino!
How I dress and who I associate with are up to me to decide!
You don't have the right to decide how I should feel, too!
Miss Hoshino!
Don'tyou know how to be your own person?
Can'tyou find your own answers?
Otohata...
Ifit's what you've decided, that's fine.
I...
Sparkly eyes! Contact lenses!
Please take a look!
Mami-rin's visual acuity is 2.0!
Therefore, I don't need contact lenses!
Bitch! You came to show off your boots again, didn't you?!
It must be rough working in the winter, since it's so cold.
Though, my feet are nice and toasty.
Just you watch! I'll get my boots in no time, too!
Well, just make sure spring doesn't come first.
What?!
Yes? This is Kotobuki!
Aya? Hello?
Hello? Do you have full reception?!
Aya, are you crying? Hey, what's wrong?
I won't know ifyou just keep crying!
Did something happen?!
Where are you right now? Hey!
Miyu!
Right.
We'll find Aya-ppe!
Yeah, let's hit all the places she might go to.
Sorry, Mami-rin.
Take care of this!
What the heck is this?!
Sorry, Mami-rin!
Hey, come on! It's not my problem ifyou get fired!
I looked in all the shops Aya-ppe might go to,
but she's not in any ofthem!
I'll go hit the area around her cram school.
I don't see her in front of the train station, either.
Aya, where are you?
Aya!
Ran...
After all this time, I finally understand what Otohata meant.
I went along with whatever Katase said...
...and I came really close to losing what was precious to me.
Otohata's been saying all those things for my sake...
Why didn't I notice that before?
I've realized that I really do like Otohata in the end.
But I can't take things back now, can I?
Aya...
That's so like you, Aya.
You worry too much about things like love and the future...
But that's what makes you Aya.
So what's wrong with that?
As long as you really are your own person, just like Otohata said.
Ran...
Yeah, maybe I still have a chance.
I'll do my best!
Ooh, you gonna go for it again?
Gag! There're better guys out there than Ototchi!
Well, I guess it can't be helped.
Then let's have you get right to it and take on Ototchi!
What?! Wait! I'm not emotionally ready yet!
Oh, shoot!
Ran, what's wrong?
I forgot about photographing the ghost...
That damn Kotobuki.
She's incredibly late as always!
Hurry up and get here!
Wha?!
It's a ghost!
I swear! Scaring me like that...
Sorry, sorry.
Now, where's that ghost?!
I'll capture it on film and get the reward!
This girl really isn't afraid of anything.
The only thing she's afraid of is being penniless.
AIright! I'll get the reward!
The ghost ran off!
Ow ow ow ow, m-m-m-my back...
That ghost's got legs!
It's not a ghost! It's a thief! After him, Kotobuki!
What?
I'll treat you to a super large beef bowl!
For real?!
AIright! Damn thief, hold it right there!
Hey, you!
Ifyou don't stop, you're gonna hurt for it!
Lethal Platform Kick!
Y-You're...
K-Katase...
Miss Hoshino, why are you...
Oh, this is...
This disk...
What's going on?
I guess I've finally been caught...
Staying constantly in the top of your class is quite hard, really.
Unless you do something like this...
I wonder what Father will say...
Don't tell me you've been stealing test questions from the computers...
That's right.
What is the meaning ofthis?
An excellent student like you shouldn't have to do this...
That's exactly why.
I have to live up to that.
I have to keep up pretenses so I don't betray my parents' expectations.
That's why...
You're practically like a puppet.
There's nothing of who you are in any of that.
Did you actually feel alive living like that?
That was when I met Miss Hoshino.
I got the sense that she was like me,
so I thought we could understand each other.
But I was wrong.
Because unlike me, Miss Hoshino was her own person.
Aya, are you crying?
I could really understand how Katase felt,
so it just made me feel very sad.
If I hadn't met the two ofyou, I probably would have also...
So I realized I'm really Iucky to have such precious friends by my side.
Of course, we're here!
There's an intense bond between us!
We'll always be super friends.
Yeah. Thank you so much for today.
Yes? This is Hoshino.
Oh, it's me. I heard you ran into some trouble?
Otohata...
Otohata!
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, I-I'm okay.
I can't stop crying... Talk to him for me...
Yeah, okay, okay.
Hello! It's Ran-pyon.
I guess you're hyper even at night.
Decide for yourself, huh?
I guess even some of the things you say are right once in a while.
Moron. I'm just always coolheaded, unlike you.
What?! The one who calls people morons is the moron!
What are you, a kid? What?! The one who calls people morons is the moron!
What are you, a kid?
A kid?! How dare you call me a kid?!
I'm hanging up. A kid?! How dare you call me a kid?!
Did Aya sound like she's alright?
Well, with Kotobuki there, I'm sure she'll be alright.
Nevermind that... Why'd I end up getting dragged into this?
I guess it's just that Ran-pyon power exploding.
I see.
What?! What was that "I see" about?!
Could it be that you're crushing on Ran-pyon?!
What?!
Well, I'm going back to work.
What's it mean that he didn't answer?!
Brother, explain it to me!
D-Don't ask me! Brother, explain it to me!
D-Don't ask me!
Machida Black Sixth Sense! It bugs me! It bugs me!
Hey, let go! Come on, calm down! Machida Black Sixth Sense! It bugs me! It bugs me!
Afterthat, with Mr. Nakanishi handling things considerately,
the incident was never publicized...
...and Katase transferred to a school overseas.
It was two weeks later that I received an airmail letter from Katase.
He wrote that studying abroad was the first decision he made...
...that was not in Iine with his parents' expectations...
...and also that he envied the fact that I had friends Iike Ran and the others.
Mami-rin!
I did awesome work after that and got my boots!
Wow, good for you.
I worked with Yuya after that too, and look...
Oh, a new handbag!
That's so super nice!
Well, you'll just have to work hard with the monkey again.
Oh, Tatsukichi...
What are you doing?
What's up with him?
He's been doing that every so often lately.
Even when I ask him why, he won't say anything.
Hey, Tatsukichi, how long are you gonna sulk up there for?!
Hurry up and get down here!
Ook...
I hate it, you're always laughing Daikirai anata itsumo waratte ite
And so strong and cute and popular Tsuyokute kawaikute ninki-mono de
I hate it, I'm so dull and slow Daikirai watashi guzu de noroma de

To be honest, I want to try talking to you Hontou wa hanashi-kakete-mitakute

And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone Hitori kata furuwasete naite ita yo

Next Super GALS! Couples are lovey-dovey. It's Christmas Eve.
Next Super GALS! Miyu wants to make a hand-knitted sweater to convey her love to Bro.
Aya wants to tell Otohata how she feels at the Palm Tree party.
But suddenly there's a picture of me with Otohata!
Tatsukichi's feeling the pain and in huge shock!
Just when you think he's leaving for Machida,
the town of Shibuya's thrust into a monkey commotion!
The enemy runs and scratches!
Catching the monkey on the run, I'll get the reward money!
