mune ni idaku kimi he no kotoba
胸に抱くキミへの言葉
These words I hold for you in my heart,
itsuka tsutaetai na
いつか伝えたいな
Someday I want to say them to you.
koboreru binetsu takanaru kodou
零れる微熱高鳴る鼓動
My fever was on the rise,
hajimari wa wakaranai kedo
始まりは分からないけど
I didn't understand where it began,
ichido kidzuita kesenai omoi
一度気付いた消せない想い
but when I realised my inerasable thoughts
uso ni wa mou dekinai kara
嘘にはもう出来ないから
I couldn't lie any more.
deaeta no ga arifureta guuzen da toshitemo
出会えたのがありふれた偶然だとしても
Even if it's a coincidence that we met,
tokubetsu na imi wo kanjiteru
特別な意味を感じてる
I can feel something special.
kimi no soba ni irareru koto wo
キミのそばに居られることを
To be able to stay by your side,
itsumo kami-sama ni kansha desu
いつも神様に感謝です
I'm forever grateful to God.
mayoi no nai kimi no yokogao
迷いのないキミの横顔
At your unfaltering face,
zutto nagamete itai
ずっと眺めていたい
I want to gaze forever.
kimi to futari sugosu jikan ga
キミと二人過ごす時間が
Passing time together with you
yuruginai chikara wo kureru yo
揺るぎない力をくれるよ
gives me a steady power
fui ni ukabu kimi he no kotoba
ふいに浮かぶキミへの言葉
Suddenly, these words for you came to mind,
itsuka tsutaetai na
いつか伝えたいな
Someday I want to say them to you.
It's another great day today.
The Love Scramble
Good morning, Mum.
Good morning, A-chan.
Can you see if this soup tastes good?
I'll trust your judgement.
But I'm asking you because I don't trust mine.
Please?
Okay, okay.
It needs a bit more work.
I knew it.
Can you do it, A-chan?
Fine.
That should do it.
Let me try it!
Delicious!
Good job, A-chan.
You won't gain anything by flattering your daughter.
I wasn't flattering you.
With your cooking skills, you're ready to become a bride any day.
I don't have a potential husband yet.
Really?
Didn't you bring home a present yesterday?
Who was it from?
Oh, I know!
It was from Ricchan, wasn't it?
No, it wasn't!
Rin-chan would never give me anything!
I don't really think that's true.
It'll be summer vacation soon.
Yeah, it will.
Do you have any plans this summer, AsA-chan?
No, not really.
What about you, Kareha?
I'm thinking about getting a job.
A job?
Yes.
I'm thinking about working as a waitress at a café.
You know, at that place called Flora in front of the train station.
You mean the place known for its uniforms with the really short skirts?
Yes.
I decided to work there because of their cute uniform.
Really?
Would you like to work there with me, AsA-chan?
I think I'll pass.
Cute things like that don't really fit me.
That's not true.
I just can't!
If Rin-chan saw me there...
"Asa-senpai, what happened?"
That's exactly what he'd ask me.
Why did you bring up Rin-san?
No reason, really.
Oh, you mean...
Oh, my, my!
Hey, Kareha, don't start having weird delusions.
He has nothing to do with this!
Oh, my, AsA-chan.
Oh, my, my!
Good morning, Asa-san.
Good morning.
It's another beautiful day today, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I really surprised you, didn't I?
Oh, not really.
That's good.
See you later, then.
So that's him.
Yeah.
Oh man...
What are you going to do about it, AsA-chan?
Good morning.
Good morning, Shigure-san.
Good morning.
You're the centre of everyone's attention today, AsA-chan.
It's really not that big of a deal.
But it's Takizawa-san we're talking about.
I don't know him very well.
He's the captain of the soccer team and very athletic.
So he's very popular with a lot of girls.
I thought Midoriba-kun from Rin-chan's class was more popular.
I think Takizawa-san is liked a bit more, since he's genuine.
Besides, he's also known as being hard to seduce.
Really...
And a man like that confessed his love to you.
It really is a big deal.
It doesn't make me all that happy, though.
I've no intention of dating him.
But you accepted his present, right?
Well, that's because I didn't have a reason to refuse.
A reason?
Isn't whether you like him or not enough of a reason?
I don't really like or dislike him.
That's not good.
I made a mistake.
Asa-san,
our classes have a joint PE this afternoon.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh yeah, that's true...
I'll score a goal for you, Asa-san.
Um...
See you later.
It's really hard to tell him anything when he's that straightforward, isn't it?
But I think men are at their best when they're almost pushy...
Oh, my, my.
Oh man.
Rin-chan.
Good timing!
Asa-senpai, can you give me a brief comment about when Takizawa-san confessed his love to you?
Please?
Well, um...
So you know about it too, Rin-chan?
Well, yes.
The whole school is talking about it.
Oh, that's kind of embarrassing.
So, how do you feel about it?
Mayumi-chan...
How?
Romantic relationships don't really suit me very well.
Right, Rin-chan?
That's not really true.
There are boys coming out and admitting they've been fans of you all along.
Oh man...
What do you think, Rin-san?
Well...
I always thought of you much like I would any of my male friends.
But this incident has really made me think that you might be popular among guys, after all.
I think you have the potential to be a great girlfriend.
Oh, my, my!
Oh, that's really flattering coming from you!
Ouch...
Oh, no.
Kareha, let's get going.
See you later, Rin-chan!
That was new.
What was?
Rin-san said that you have great potential.
Wasn't it the first time he's said anything like that.
Was it?
It was.
Maybe... it could be...
What's your point?
The fact that Rin-san started seeing you as a girl means...
That's impossible.
Rin-chan and I are friends of unsavoury ties.
That's all.
Really?
Yup.
I really think Rin-san and you are a good match.
Something happens, and as a result, the two friends become closer...
Oh, my, my!
Stop having those weird delusions and finish changing.
Takkun, that's cool!
Next, Shigure Asa.
Yes.
AsA-chan!
Did that hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I'm sorry I made you all worry.
That really shocked us.
Kaede was close to tears.
Well, that's because...
...we heard that Asa-senpai was seriously injured, so...
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
It's just a small sprain.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
No, the cold pad should be good enough.
AsA-chan, you shouldn't walk yet.
Um, Kareha-senpai, you're good with healing magic, right?
Can't you heal Asa-senpai's ankle?
Well...
It's okay.
It'll get well soon even without magic.
But you can't go home like that.
It's okay.
Rin-chan will walk me home.
I will?
Asa-san!
I'm sorry, homeroom took forever to end.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll walk you home.
No thanks.
I already asked Rin-chan.
Rin-chan's been to my house several times before,
and my mum already knows him.
I see.
Was that really okay?
Was what okay?
About Takizawa-senpai.
It seemed as if I got in between you two.
You don't have to worry about it.
Also, you were acting a little strange this morning and during lunch, too.
That's because I was a bit embarrassed by all the rumours floating around.
I'm sorry if that worried you.
Takizawa-senpai...
He seemed to be concerned about you.
Yeah, he's a good person.
I feel bad about not giving him a reply.
You haven't replied yet?
I couldn't...
Maybe that's why I didn't want him to walk me home.
On the other hand, I have no reason not to ask you.
That really helped me.
What am I to you, anyway?
What do you think?
An evil, younger brother.
A friend of unsavoury ties.
A "childhood friend" from the minute we met.
You can pick any of those.
Those are so unsexy.
Oh, you want one with sex appeal?
Is this better, then?
That's exactly why I called them unsexy.
True enough!
Shigure
Ama-san won't be back until later tonight?
Nope.
So stay around a bit and relax.
You say that, but...
Are you not happy being with just me?
Oh, I'm very happy.
Then, I'll go change.
Will you be okay with your leg and all?
Well, could you help me change?
Go change now.
Oh, that's so boring.
You can peep, but tell me beforehand if you're going to.
I am a healthy boy, after all.
I really will come if you say I can.
I guarantee you will hear my cute scream if you do.
Seriously...
She looks pretty powerful, but she's actually rather cute.
If she'd show that side more, she wouldn't have any problem getting a boyfriend or two...
He's a sincere person.
Why wouldn't Asa-senpai say "okay" to him?
Where is Rin?
He walked Asa-senpai home.
He went to Asa's house?
Yes.
A young man and a woman, alone by themselves...
Ri-Rimu-chan, where did you hear such a line!?
On the TV.
On the Lunchtime Ladies Show.
You shouldn't watch those kind of shows.
Besides, Rin-kun will be fine with Asa-senpai.
Really?
They won't do anything. I guarantee it.
You guarantee it...
She's sure taking her time.
I'll go to the bathroom in the meantime.
I've been coming here since junior high,
so I know this house like my own.
Um...
Rin-chan...
Did you forget to lock the door?
No.
It's broken right now.
I was going to go get the parts this weekend to fix it...
I see.
Yup.
Excuse me, then.
Same here.
Let's forget about that.
It was purely an accident.
Right.
By the way, it's been a while since the last time you came.
It has.
I used to come here a lot during junior high,
but I haven't been here a lot since we started high school.
Mum misses you too.
Kaede used to come here almost every day, to get cooking lessons from you.
Oh yeah.
That's true.
That's the reason we met.
Do you remember?
Well, somewhat.
It was back when I was in the junior high cooking club that you came to visit me the first time.
I thought you were going to join too, at first.
But...
I'm just her escort, so...
...please look after Kaede.
It was a real shock.
Kaede can push herself too hard if we let her.
I envied her.
Envied?
Yup.
You didn't join the cooking club, but you always waited for Kaede.
You remember that?
I envied Kaede.
Even though you were only waiting for her, I could tell that you cared deeply for Kaede.
I'd never realised men like that existed...
And Kaede was also trying to improve her cooking purely for your sake, Rin-chan.
The two of you seemed to be a really good match.
I didn't have anyone like that, so...
So I thought, "I wish I had such a man."
I'm sure you'll find one.
You think so?
I'm sure of it.
Takizawa-senpai was very concerned about you.
Takizawa-kun, huh?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I'd feel worse if you were worried about things like that.
Then, can I ask about him?
Well, how should I say it...
Something about him just isn't right...
You mean, he's not your type?
That's not it.
This is what Kareha said, but...
Isn't whether you like him or not enough of a reason?
But for me, it's not about liking or disliking.
Besides, do you think I look like a maiden in love?
That's a tough question.
That's mean!
You're supposed to say "yes, you do," even if you don't mean it!
Sorry.
You are right, though.
Rather than having the excitement of a romance,
I just want to enjoy my high school life with my friends.
I want to have silly times with everyone for just a little longer.
I know that's not all that I should be doing, but...
I know how you feel.
You do?
I knew you would.
We do have unsavoury ties.
But I could allow myself to fall in love with you, Rin-chan.
Asa-senpai?
Ouch!
I don't want to go against SiA-chan, Nerine-chan or Kaede, though.
What are you trying to do to me?
Sorry, sorry.
Let me go get you some tea.
Ouch!
Rin-chan...
A-chan, I'm home.
I'm home.
Oh, Ricchan, you're here?
Hello.
Long time no see, Ricchan.
Oh, A-chan, what happened to your leg?
Oh, I hurt it during PE class.
Oh no!
Where's the medicine!?
I knew it!
You were teasing me again!?
What do you think?
Was that really okay?
Yeah.
I just can't think about love yet.
Or maybe you have someone else in mind?
It's not like that.
I just want to keep my current situation a little longer.
But...
...maybe there is one boy I just can't leave alone...

Rin, I can't sleep.
You should count sheep.
Okay.
One sheep.
Two sheep.
Three...
What are you doing?
Some might go for a walk or jump over a fence...
...or get sold?
Huh?
Next time on Shuffle: Episode Eight, The Panties Date!
The Panties Date
You shouldn't sell them.
Then, should I eat them?
