## Script

* **Namiko**: Rikka, come with us for a sec. To the vending machine.
* **Rikka**: Huh?
* **Hass**: 'Tis an interrogation!
* **Rikka**: W-whoa, wait--!
* **Namiko**: Now now, this might be something that's hard to talk about in the classroom, you know.
* **Rikka**: So... what is it?
* **Hass**: Don't "*what is it?*" us! Namiko said she saw you last night, is that right?
* **Rikka**: Oh... *that*.
* **Hass**: Right. Last night. What were you doing with Hibiki Yuuta-kun?
* **Namiko**: C'mon c'mon, I'll buy you a bottle o' MATCH, so out with it.
* **Rikka**: I can't drink carbonated stuff though... Wait, I mean, it's not like I'm hiding anything, you know?
* **Namiko**: Then hurry and spit it out! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon-c'mon-c'mon-c'mon--
* **Rikka**: Gah--! So yesterday... Hibiki-kun collapsed in front of my place, gone amnesiac, then I brought him to the hospital. That's about it.
* **Namiko and Hass**: Amnesia!?
* **Rikka**: It's not that big of a deal, really.
* **Namiko and Hass**: That's a damn big deal, dammit!
* **Namiko**: I mean, amnesia? Is that for real?
* **Hass**: Dayum, dude's in deep doo-doo...
* **Rikka**: Looks like it's true though. The amnesia stuff.
* **Namiko**: Oh, gimme a break... isn't it strange that he's collapsed in front of Rikka's house in the first place?
* **Hass**: Hear, hear. How'd this happen with just Hibiki and Rikka involved?
* **Rikka**: Uhh... It's not strange though?
* **Namiko**: Hmm... you're definitely hiding something.
* **Hass**: Like, what, you two went home together?
* **Namiko**: For real!?
* **Rikka**: None of that. For real.
* **Namiko**: Then what's going on here?
* **Rikka**: Like, he randomly turned up at my place and said some stuff... what was that about again...?
* **Namiko and Hass**: You suck at lying or what!?
* **Namiko**: And wait, you two aren't dating or anything, right?
* **Rikka**: That's not it! Really!
* **Namiko**: Mm-hm, I see.
* **Hass**: Thank goodness... As if a guy like Hibiki would make moves on Rikka-san here. That's just ridiculous.
* **Namiko**: Yeah, this is *the* Rikka-san we're talkin' about, you know.
* **Hass**: *The* Rikka-san who'd once been a hair model for a parlor in Aoyama, you know!
* **Namiko**: *The* Rikka-san who'd once bought an Aroma Diffuser from Francfranc, you know!
* **Rikka**: Hey, stop making it sound like I do those stuff all the time.
* **Namiko**: Right then, Rikka-san... What did you have for today's breakfast?
* **Rikka**: This morning? Well... fruit granola and smoothie. The green stuff.
* **Namiko and Hass**: There y'go~~
* **Rikka**: Well excuse me! My mom just bought way too much, so I had to finish them!
* **Namiko**: So you're trying to live the *Terrace House* lifestyle now, eh~~
* **Hass**: Now that's *the* Rikka-san who'd once been mistaken for a college student at Omotesando!
* **Namiko**: You might not be aware, Rikka-san, but it's like you're trying too hard to act like an adult, yeah?
* **Rikka**: What'd you mean I'm trying too hard--
* **Namiko**: Now wait... Were you *that* close friends with Hibiki?
* **Rikka**: Nope, not at all. Haven't talked with him much...
* **Namiko**: Right.
* **Rikka**: There's that time, during the ball game rally before summer...
* **Namiko**: Mm-hm.
* **Rikka**: I went back to the classroom during break time, and it was just me with Hibiki-kun there...
* **Namiko**: Mm-hm.
* **Rikka**: That's when I talked with him a for bit.
* **Namiko**: Ooh... Wait, what's that about?
* **Rikka**: I mean, other than that time, I haven't talked with Hibiki-kun much at all.
* **Namiko and Hass**: R-right...
* **Namiko**: That sounds... pretty bland.
* **Hass**: Well, that's Hibiki for ya. Ain't got much special aside from that redness of his hair.
* **Namiko**: Yup. So red.
* **Rikka**: Not like it matters how red it is...
* **Namiko**: Really, if I was a boy, I'd probably not go well with Rikka at all.
* **Hass**: Me too. A 15-year-old who eats granola and eggs benedict for breakfast is way too much for me to handle.
* **Rikka**: I don't remember saying I ate any eggs benidict though...
* **Namiko**: If I'm gonna go with someone from our class, it's gotta be... Akane, yeah?
* **Hass**: Hear, hear! Super cute, but never around the boys. If I was a boy, I'mma nab her!
* **Rikka**: Gah... I actually get where you're coming from...
* **Namiko**: Rikka-san here, on the other hand... She's like a girl who'd get along better with the working adults, yeah? That's no good...
* **Rikka**: Now you're just stereotyping!
* **Hass**: Okay then, Rikka... How much did those shoes of yours cost?
* **Rikka**: These? Let's see... 18,000 yen?
* **Hass**: Damn, this is why you're--
* **Rikka**: That's not it! My grandpa bought them for me when I got into high school!
* **Namiko**: Yeah, yeah~~
* **Hass**: Gotta have high standards, eh~~
* **Namiko**: So high~~
* **Rikka**: I can't help it when the stuff just come naturally, you know!
* **Hass**: That's our Rikka-san for ya~~
* **Rikka**: Enough already, jeez...
