p 38	voice		Kyosuke!
	Dad		Yesterday at school you used your powers, didn't you?
	Kyosuke		<gulp>
	Dad		It was a good thing to put out the classmate's
			cigarette, but
	Dad		If you mess up we'll be making the movers rich again.
	narration	Use powers -> Someone finds oout -> We move for the
			8th time.
	Kyosuke		I know...
	narration	Who's the one who told on me?
p 39	Kyosuke		Manami, were you the one who told dad about yesterday?
	Manami		[shakes her head]
	Kyosuke		...then...
	Kurumi		<munch>
	Kurumi		[shakes her head]
	Dad		Kurumi, you shouldn't tell lies.
	Kyosuke		You snitch!
	Kurumi		You lied, dad!  You said you wouldn't tell!
	voice		Kurumi!
	voice		Kyosuke, you're the oldest so...
	voice		That's not fair, dad!
	Manami		Hey everybody, we'll be late for school!
p 40	Kyosuke		Shoot!  I'm really late!  We have too much of a racket
			going on in the morning.
	narration	Why is she taking her time?  She's going to be late.
p 41	narration	A... Ayukawa!
	narration	I don't want to get slapped again, so I'm not talking
			to her.
	Madoka		It's all right.
	Kyosuke		What?
p 42	Madoka		If it's the teacher, he won't come yet.
	Madoka		[something]
	Madoka		I always walk this hallway at this time.
	Kyosuke		Is that so?
	Madoka		See?
	narration	Ayukawa... she's cute.  I see.  She wasn't in a good
			mood yesterday.
p 43	narration	I'm glad I moved to this town.
	Kyosuke		<smile>
p 44	Kyosuke		<smile>
	Komatsu		What are you doing, Kasuga?
	Kyosuke		I'm imitating Miyao Sosumu.  [?]
	Komatsu		Are you all right?
	narration	What happened?  Was that smile an illusion?
			What do you think we should do about this?
p 45	sign		Boys Locker Room
	boy		What are we going to do today?
	voice		Make 4 teams and play basketball.
	boy		Hey!  The girls have PE too!
p 46	Kyosuke		Komatsu, what are you scribbling?
	Komatsu		Yuuko's legs are fat ... 50 points.
			Maumi's pretty grammar[?] ... 75 points.
			[to Kyosuke] This is a secret notebook.
	Komatsu		The girls in our class aren't bad at all.
	Komatsu		That's Sukimoto from the Gymnastics Club.  She's good.
	Komatsu		She's sexy.  85 points!
	boys		<applause>
	voice		Next!  Ayukawa!
p 47	Kyosuke		<gulp>
	Komatsu		Let's see if our team is on.
	Kyosuke		What about Ayukawa's points?
	Komatsu		I don't score delinquents.  Let's go, it's our game.
	girl		You were great, Sukimoto-san.
	Sukimoto	That was nothing.
p 48	[Madoka shows her gymnastic prowess]
p 49	Kyosuke		I'm impressed!  She's too good to be kept a delinquent!
	teacher		That was very good.  Next.
	voice		<applause>
	Kyosuke		<applause>
	Kyosuke		Ah...
	voice		<whistle>  Play!
p 50	Komatsu		Let's see how well Kasuga plays!
	Kyosuke		Ok, let's do it!
	Komatsu		Allright!
	narration	Even though... [player steals ball from Kyosuke]
	narration	I said... [Kyosuke misses a catch]
	narration	that.  [player trips Kyosuke]
	narration	I'm always using my powers, so I'm out of shape.
			I can't even touch the ball.  This is embarrasing!
p 51	narration	How lame!
	teacher		Last minute!
	Komatsu		Kasuga!
	Komatsu		Go!  If you make it, well do an upset!  <grin>
	Kyosuke		Who?  What?  Where's the goal?
	Kyosuke		Looks far...
p 52	Kyosuke		peek
	narration	Ayukawa is watching!
	Kyosuke		Whew!
	narration	It'll look good on me if I win.  Should I use...
	narration	...my power?
	narration	Will someone see I used my powers?  No, anyone can put
			a ball in the basket.  Nobody will know.
p 53	narration	But wait.
	narration	Thinking about it...
	narration	It's natural the ball should go in the basket.
	narration	It's shameful to think I have to use my powers to make
			this shot.
	Kyosuke		The goal!
	narration	I've made up my mind!
	Kyosuke		[something]
p 54	boy		It was close, though.
	Komatsu		Shh!
	Kyosuke		Sorry... we lost because of me.
	Kyosuke		It's my fault.  If there's anything I can do for you
			guys just tell me.
	boy		Don't be so gloomy.
	boy		Don't worry about it.
	Kyosuke		Thanks.
	boy		We'll get you if we have something for you to do.
			<laughter>
	Kyosuke		I shouldn't have said that.
p 55	narration	I should have used my powers.
	boy		I thought he was going to make it.
	boy		Kasuga...
	boy		...is not that good in sports.
	Hikaru		Hehe.
	Hikaru		Ok.  I'm going to smoke in the back of the gym today.
	Hikaru		Huh?
p 56	Hikaru		That's the guy who got slapped by Madoka-san yesterday.
			What is he doing here?  It doesn't look good.
	narration	What kind of look did Ayukawa have when I missed the
			shot?  I was too shy to look.
	narration	If I had used my powers like this...
	Kyosuke		...it would have been easy!
	narration	W-what?  He made a shot from this side of the court!
	narration	He's...
	narration	...COOL!
