p 170	narration	Golden Week starts tomorrow.  And there is no school!
	Hikaru		Kyosuke, do you have anything planned?
	Kyosuke		It's like a special holiday.
	Hikaru		What's wrong?  You don't look so happy.
	Kyosuke		You look happy, Hikaru.
	Hikaru		Of course!  I'm going to Karuizawa with my
			family.
p 171	Kyosuke		<laughs>  My family is going to Hokkaido, but I
			decided to stay home.
	narration	[something]
	Hikaru		Would you like to go with me with Karuizawa?
	narration	I don't want to make a mistake being with Hikaru.
	Hikaru		Won't you come along?
	Kyosuke		Umm...err...
	Hikaru		Ah!
	Hikaru		Yoohoo!  Madoka!
p 172	Hikaru		What are you hurrying for?
	narration	I always think...
	narration	...I don't want Ayukawa to see me like this!
	Madoka		I've got to go.  So!
	Madoka		See you, Kasuga.
	narration	What's happened to her?  She goes home early
			these days.  I want to know what's wrong!
p 173	Kyosuke		I'm bored!  Boring...
	Kyosuke		A page of my life... what am I doing in here?
	narration	It's dad's fault
	{begin flashback}
	Dad		I'm going to Hokkaido for a week.  We'll be in Golden
			Week then, so would you like to come along?
	children	Really?  [something]
p 174	Manami		Kurumi, what are you going to wear?
	Kurumi		I heard there's penguins in Hokkaido.
	book		[something]
	Dad		I only have three tickets.  Kyosuke, you're the oldest,
			so give the ticket for your sisters.
	Kyosuke		[something]
	Kyosuke		That wasn't nice.  He let me down.
	Kyosuke		Aaaah!  I'm bored!  I should have gone with Hikaru to
			Karuizawa!
	stomach		<grumble>
	Kyosuke		I'm hungry.  I haven't eaten since morning.
	Kyosuke		I get hungry even if I'm not doing anything!
p 175	Kyosuke		"Restaurant and Pub".  Didn't see this last time.
	Kyosuke		I think I'll have lunch here.
	Kyosuke		It looks like a good restaurant.
	waitress	What will it be?
	Kyosuke		Umm... [Kyosuke recognizes the "waitress"...]
p 176	Madoka		Kasuga?!
	Kyosuke		Ayukawa...
	Kyosuke		You're working here for the holiday?
	Madoka		A person I know owns this place, so it's easy for me.
	Madoka		But don't tell the school.  We're not allowed to work.
	Madoka		Kasuga, you live around here?
	Kyosuke		Yeah.
	narration	This is why she was going home early.
p 177	Master		Ayukawa?
	Madoka		Yes.
	Madoka		Can you wait a minute?
	narration	Even though it was a coincidence... [something]
	Kyosuke		[something]
	Master		I heard that you're Ayukawa's classmate.
	Master		I needed another person to help.  I'm saved!  <laughs>
	Kyosuke		Uh, what are you talking aboue?
	Master		I heard you live around here, so you can work during
			Golden Week.  You'll get paid.
	Kyosuke		Uh?
p 178	Madoka		I'd like you to help out too, Kasuga.
	Kyosuke		I don't know if I should...
	Master		So you'll do it.  Great!
	Master		Here's your sweater, apron, and tray.
	Kyosuke		What?  Right now?
	Kyosuke		I kind of feel forced into this job.
	Madoka		Is the size ok?
	Kyosuke		Hold on.  Wait a minute.
p 179	Kyosuke		?
	Madoka		I'll leave the apron right here.  And hurry!  There's
			a lot of people.
	Kyosuke		Thanks.
	Madoka		[something]
	narration	That's how I started working here.
p 180	narration	This job is pretty hard.  But I don't hate it because
			Ayukawa is here.
	dish		<levitate>
	Madoka		?
	narration	Nobody knows that we're working here.
	narration	It's a secret even to Hikaru!
	narration	It's our secret!!
	Kyosuke		Good morning!
	Kyosuke		Thank you.
	narration	It feels like I got a little closer to Ayukawa's
			mysterious life.
p 181	narration	And before you know it, it's June 5th.  Last day of
			work!
	all		<laughter>
	Master		Thanks, Kasuga!  You were a great help.  Was it hard?
	Kyosuke		Yeah, but it was fun.
	Master		Is it because Ayukwawa was here?
	Kyosuke		Huh?
	Madoka		Master, don't you have to go home?  Isn't your wife
			waiting for you?
p 182	Master		Ok, ok.  I can't win with you, Madoka.  We'll, I'll be
			going.  Don't forget to lock the place when you leave.
	narration	But what Master said is true...
	narration	... I did this jub because Ayukawa was doing it.
	Madoka		Kasuga, all I've seen you drink is juice.
	Kyosuke		Well, I'm still in Junior High.
	Madoka		It's on the house.  Who cares about that?
	Madoka		Or are you a "goody two-shoes"?
	Kyosuke		No, I'm not!
p 183	Madoka		Of course not.
	Kyosuke		What?
	Madoka		Because you didn't go to Hikaru's date and went to
			the park with me instead.
	sound effect	<slap!>
	Madoka		I hate guys like that.
	sound effect	<slap!>
	narration	That's harsh.
	Madoka		Do you know what that's called?
	Kyosuke		What?
	Madoka		[something]
	Kyosuke		She's talking a lot tonight...
	Kyosuke		Aren't you drinking a little too much?
	Madoka		Do you really like Hikaru?
p 184	Madoka		Ah!
	Madoka		Sorry.
	Kyosuke		But...
	Madoka		Yes?
	Kyosuke		This is the first time I've seen you talk so much.
	Madoka		Is that so?
	Madoka		I feel good today.
	Kyosuke		Ayukawa... don't you have to go home?
	Madoka		Ah!
p 185	Madoka		I didn't make it for the last bus.
	Kyosuke		What will we do?
	Madoka		Isn't everyone at your house gone for a trip?
	Kyosuke		Yeah.  They'll be back tomorrow noon.
	Madoka		Will you let me stay for the night?
p 186	Kyosuke		A...Ayukawa...
	Madoka		I won't tell Hikaru.
p 187	narration	Ayukawa...
	Kyosuke		Huh?
	narration	She's asleep...
	Hikaru		Hey, Kyosuke.  Madoka!
	Kyosuke		H...Hikaru!
	narration	Uh oh!
	Hikaru		Are you done with your work?
p 188	Kyosuke		Eh?
	Kyosuke		How did you know?
	Hikaru		I heard on the phone from Madoka that you were working
			with her.
	Hikaru		She got tired and fell asleep.
	Hikaru		I'll take her home.
	Hikaru		Bye bye!  I'll see you at school!
	narration	What?  I thought the job was our secret.  What was I
			getting all excited about then?
p 189	narration	But those words she said...
	Madoka		Will you let me stay for the night?
	narration	Ayukawa... what did she mean by it?
	narration	Is it because she was drunk?
	narration	Or...?
