In her shoe locker, Chihiro finds a note,
‘Invitation for you to become [our] manager. Waiting for your reply♡ 2nd
year K.Y.’ Speechless Chihiro looks aghast over the note. Rino asks her
if it is a love letter. Chihiro lamely says that she doesn’t think that
it is. She wonders out loud what manager refers to. Rino says that
since it is a second year student who wrote it, maybe it is about urging
her to join. She asks if Chihiro knows what club is it. Chihiro says
that the crucial point wasn’t mentioned. Rino says that applications for
clubs have already started so is she prepared to go to that club.
Wearing her shoes, Chihiro says that right now, there is no particular
club that she wants to join. She asks Rino if she wants to apply
together to a same club and what club would she want to join. Rino says
there is one. She asks Chihiro’s opinion on what does she think of
becoming a manager for the kendo club. She tells Chihiro that she thinks
that isn’t not bad because during junior high, they’ve already done it
so they ought to be used to it. Chihiro lamely says kendo. This prompts
Rino to ask if she isn’t interested. Chihiro says not really, but how
should she say it.. Rino sheepishly apologizes for if she isn’t
interested then forget about it. She tells Chihiro that she is only
thinking of it for a bit that is why she casually said it. Chihiro
quickly tells her that it isn’t like that, for she fundamentally likes
kendo so how is it possible that she isn’t interested but rather than no
interest.. Thinking that during junior high, her biggest reason to
become the kendo club’s manager is because Nanjou is there but now..
Chihiro gloomily asks if that guy is there. Rino is puzzled. Chihiro
starts rambling that it is impossible for that guy not to be there for
Murasakinoue Academy is famous for kendo and since he took the entrance
exam with Kirigaya, that means that guy would definitely join the kendo
club. Rino asks if that person is.. Chihiro exclaims, yes, it’s Hinase.
Rino let out a surprise that Chihiro freezes for Hinase is standing
right behind him. Hinase glances at the letter and mutters that it’s
great that she’s popular. Flustered Chihiro glances at Hinase as he
leaves. Kirigaya greets Rino then Chihiro before leaving. Surprised
Chihiro greets him back. Rino becomes gloomy for Kirigaya called only
Chihiro by her first name. [<- maybe there is a typo for Kirigaya
greeted Chihiro by her surname in the Chinese scans. ^^;] While the
teacher is teaching, Chihiro is sitting beside Hinase. She thinks that
the mood has always been awkward since that exchange seat thing.
“Actually.. actually, it also doesn’t matter at all.. There’s nothing to
be distressed about. Fundamentally wanted to exchange seats..” There is
a scene of the teacher telling them that they cannot change seats on
their own. Then, Chihiro and Hinase coincidentally look at each other.
Chihiro looks away which irritates Hinase. Then, Hinase pouts.
After class, the teacher apologizes to Kirigaya and Chihiro for
delaying their way home but there are a lot of materials[/papers] to be
distributed tomorrow so he would ask their help as class officers to
divide it according to the number of people ahead of time. Chihiro is
fine with it but Kirigaya tells him that it is the first day of the
kendo club so if it is possible, he doesn’t want to be late for it. The
teacher says is that so, and it is really no good to be late when it
just started so, he can go. Kirigaya apologizes when he obviously signed
up to be class president. Chihiro tells him that it is okay for she can
do it by herself. Rino volunteers to help for anyway, she is free while
waiting for Chihiro. The teacher says is that so, then he’ll leave it
to her. Kirigaya asks Rino if that is okay. Rino says yes, and
gambatte[/good luck] to his club activity. Kirigaya thanks her for the
help and as thanks, he’ll treat her to eat something. Embarrassed
Kirigaya says that there’s no need since this is just small thing. He
asks her if she isn’t joining the club for wasn’t she a manager of a
kendo club during junior high so he thought that she will also continue
to assume that post.. Rino tells him that at that time, she only joined
kendo club to accompany Chihiro and she hasn’t decided yet which club to
join in high school. Kirigaya says really. He glances at Chihiro and
says is that so. Chihiro looks surprised by that. Chihiro wonders what
was that just now, and could it be that Kirigaya is.. Smiling Kirigaya
asks if Rino felt that it is a waste and it is good if she continues on
being a manager. Rino says is that so. They were interrupted by Hinase
who tells Kirigaya that if he doesn’t leave soon, he’ll be late.
Kirigaya apologizes and says that he’ll be going ahead. Rino tells him
to take care. Chihiro quietly glances at smiling Rino who is waving
goodbye. She is surprised when Hinase tells Kirigaya that he’ll walk him
halfway. Kirigaya says okay. Chihiro thinks that for him to say
half-way, didn’t Hinase join the club. “What.. I thought that he will
definitely join the kendo club. Ah.. Could it be because of his injury
during the junior high competition? Is it quite serious that he already
couldn’t practice anymore? But, he can run so perhaps merely because he
doesn’t want to continue.. *pouts* There’s..there’s really nothing bad
about it. Anyway, things about Hinase has nothing to do with me.”
Soon, the two girls finish compiling the papers together. After
counting 36 of the the ones they’ve done, Rino says that it is finished
and all are stapled. Chihiro thanks her and says that they can now give
it to the teacher and go home afterwards. Rino looks at the clock and it
is around 4:13pm. Rino asks Chihiro if they can conveniently pass by
the kendo club to check on it. Chihiro realizes something. She somewhat
smiles and says okay. Embarrassed Rino asks what it is, it isn’t like
she has any other meaning to it, and she is only a bit curious. While
saying ‘okay, okay’, Chihiro laughs and pushes Rino. Chihiro thinks that
it is okay because after all, Hinase isn’t there so it is impossible to
bump into each other. While Chihiro and Rino are walking at the
hallway, a guy tells his friend, ‘that girl is..’ At the kendo club’s
dojo, Chihiro says that it is huge. Rino agrees. She says that this is
the high school’s kendo dojo and it seems the junior high’s kendo dojo
is a bit further ahead. Chihiro says that is amazing and Yuuto shouldn’t
be here. Then, they notice a lot of girls looking inside that they
wonder what’s up. Inside, Kirigaya is busy practicing with the others.
The girls are fangirling about Kirigaya being handsome and they are also
cheering for him. Chihiro says that is amazing. Rino comments that
Kirigaya already has fans. Chihiro asks if Rino wants to get a closer
look. Rino just smiles and says that there’s no need, this is enough.
Chihiro asks if it is okay. Rino just says that it is enough that she
could see. While Chihiro doesn’t seem convinced, Rino says that it seems
that that is Yuu-chan. Yuuto is walking by. After practice, Kirigaya
looks out the window and sees the girls talking with Yuuto. Yuuto asks
the girls what’s up and it seems that the two of them are quite idle so
if they don’t have any business, then they should quickly go home. Rino
asks if he is on a break. Chihiro asks if he is goofing off. Yuuto
angrily retorts that he isn’t goofing around. Kirigaya is a bit
speechless surprised over it. Rino asks if she can go and watch him
practice. Embarrassed Yuuto exclaims for her not to go. Then, Chihiro
notices Hinase standing at the side. She thinks that he still didn’t go
home. “Is he watching the kendo dojo?” Then, Chihiro looks surprised.
The scene changes to the class again wherein the teacher caps the
lesson for the day. He informs his students that there are lawless
elements happening lately so be careful on the way home so don’t stroll
around anywhere. The students say yes. Hinase suddenly stands up and
says that it is finally over. He asks Kirigaya that today he doesn’t
have club activity. Chihiro glances at Hinase. Rino approaches Chihiro
and asks her what’s up, doesn’t she want to go yet. Chihiro stands up
and says ah yes. To Rino’s surprise, Kirigaya asks Rino about going home
together today. The others are surprised. Rino asks, “Me?” Kirigaya
smiles and says, “Yes.” Rino glances at Chihiro and says, “Ah.. but.. if
that is so.. what if everyone goes home all together? *The other three
look surprised and Rino happily clings on to Chihiro* Anyway, everyone
is going to ride on the same train station. How about it?” Flustered
Chihiro can only call out Rino’s name. Chihiro becomes nervous and
thinks that this isn’t good for [Dark] Kirigaya looks quite scary.
Hinase scratches his head and says that he had made an appointment with
someone so he is going ahead. “See you tomorrow!” As Hinase goes out of
the classroom, flustered Chihiro wonders if it is because she is there.
Chihiro says that today, she also has a place where she wants to go.
While smiling, she apologizes for she is going ahead. After Chihiro
left, Rino apologizes to Kirigaya and asks isn’t it better if Chihiro is
here so she’ll call her right away.. Kirigaya holds her arm and says,
“Why? I want to go home with you, Sakuragi.” Walking towards the school
gate, Chihiro sighs and wonders she is bothered about Hinase and doesn’t
this seem like.. She becomes flustered. Chihiro thinks that it isn’t
good that she just come out right now and if she walks with her normal
walk, she would be able to catch up with Hinase. She decides to walk
slower. Then, she is surprised to see a guy by the gate, glancing inside
the school. She passes by and feels that the guy is looking at her. She
wonders what’s up for it seems that guy is always staring at her. “Even
if he’s wearing the same uniform, it isn’t someone whom I know.” She
glances back and the guy creepily smiles back at her. Chihiro looks
aghast for that is really scary. She starts running and hopes that guy
didn’t chase after her. To her surprise, she sees Hinase walking up
ahead. “No way.. I’ve catch up with Hinase..” Blurb: “Next, what will
happen as the two are on their way home together!?”
