Ichika

Honami? You're by yourself?

2

Honami

Yes. Shiho said she'd be a little late.

3

Ichika

Oh, okay. Saki's on class duty today, she might be a little late too.

4

Honami

Alright. If that's the case, shall we start preparing?

5

Ichika

Yeah.

6

Ichika

By the way, Saki heard from Otori that your class threw a party the other day to celebrate winning gold. Is that true?

7

Honami

Well, sort of... All we did was bring drinks and snacks to class, but everyone was so chatty and excited.

8

Honami

It's really nice that we made some nice memories together.

9

Ichika

Yeah.

10

Ichika

You're really amazing, Honami...

11

Honami

I am...?

12

Ichika

I'm the representative for my class, but I'm not sure that I would've been able to do what you did given the situation.

13

Ichika

(And she must have been so scared that everyone might end up hating her, like what happened in junior high...)

14

Ichika

You thought seriously about everyone's opinions, faced them directly and clearly expressed your own thoughts.

15

Ichika

And then you guided your class towards a decision everyone could agree on. That's why I think you're so amazing.

16

Honami

Thank you, Ichika...

17

Honami

To be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle it either.

18

Honami

Even after I made the decision to tell the class what I thought, I couldn't sleep...

19

Honami

You should've seen how shaky my knees were when I was standing in front of everyone in class that day...

20

Ichika

Honami...

21

Honami

But I was only able to muster up enough courage because you, MEIKO and everyone else supported me.

22

Honami

Your encouragement convinced me that my classmates would really listen to me and that I could trust them.

23

Ichika

Yeah...
Again, you're really amazing.

24

Honami

Really? I think you would've handled this problem much more gracefully than I did.

25

Ichika

Huh? What makes you think that?

26

Honami

Even when I was avoiding you during junior high, you never stopped trying, remember?

27

Ichika

Oh, I mean, uh... Nothing worked out in the end...

28

Honami

But that's because I didn't have the courage to tell you what had actually happened...

29

Honami

If I had, you would've stood by my side and supported me no matter what. I'm sure of it.

30

Honami

Just like that time when I was being bullied by a group of boys.

31

Ichika

Huh?
When did that happen?

32

Honami

Don't you remember?
We were in elementary school...

33

Honami

Some boys were teasing me in the courtyard, but then you ran and stood in between us with your arms wide open and stared them down...

34

Ichika

Oh, I remember now...

35

Ichika

They left in the end because Saki ran over and shouted at them to go away. I didn't really do anything special.

36

Honami

Hehe. But ever since you were little, you had these moments where you showed so much courage.

37

Ichika

Wait... You mean there's more?

38

Honami

Yes. Much more.

39

Honami

Let's see... There was that time you let Saki use your textbook as an umbrella because it started raining all of a sudden and didn't want her to catch a cold...

40

Ichika

Oh... I do remember that.

41

Ichika

I also remember my Mom being so mad at me for ruining it like that.

42

Honami

Oh, but if you remember that,
maybe you remember that other time too!

43

Ichika

Um... What other time?

44

Honami

Hehe... You know, that time?

45

Ichika

Uhh... I need a hint!

46

Honami

Um... It was another time you did something completely unexpected, like using your textbook as an umbrella...

47

Ichika

Uh, on second thought...
I'm not sure I actually want to know now...

48

Honami

Hehe. Now you're making me want to say it instead.

49

Ichika

Oh, Honami...

50

Ichika & Honami

Hehe!
