Oh. I thought I heard someone. If it isn't Lil' Miss Transfer Student.
What're ya doin' with the lights off in a place like this? You shouldn't cut class, go do your lessons properly.
... You're not smokin', right?
Cigarettes'll screw up your health, Lil' Miss
Ahh, sorry for doubtin' ya. Doesn't smell like smoke in here, huh.
My bad. Guys who did stuff like that were dime a dozen at my middle school, so I totally got ahead of myself and assumed it of ya.
This Yumenosaki Academy place doesn't have any guys that seem like they're total rejects. They're idols, every last one of 'em.
Proper and respectable, healthy, radiant. Every last one.
Makes me kinda jealous, y'know. Even now, try as I might, I still slip into old habits.
... Lil' Miss. You don't know how to connect the AV cables, do you?
Lemme see. I’ll do it. I can work my way around an appliance.
Rely on people while you're workin' your way around this place, Lil' Miss.
Ahh, damn, how'd the wires get tangled this bad...
You're just like my kid sister, why do ya get so stubborn about doing it, when you clearly can't.
Well, there's nothin' wrong with bein' competitve.
... You don't have to cower in the corner like that, though.
Am I scary? Guess it can't be helped, but I wasn't tryin' to get weird with you.
I know how it looks, but I'm tryin' to be gentle 'n look after a junior.
Must be the scowl or somethin' that's no good. I can't get unwrinkle my brows, and I'm no good at smilin' either, so...
Alrighty, all done, Lil' Miss. It's just about ready to give out, so careful.
Ya gotta treat machines like kids, nice and gentle, with care.
By the way, what're you plannin' to watch, Lil' Miss?
... It's the AV room, what else are you gonna be doin' if it isn't watchin' something on the screen.
Hmm. Footage for the unit you're producin', huh? How admirable.
I'd think you wouldn't need to watch somethin' like that, given ya got the real thing nearby.
Hm? Well, I came to watch somethin' too, but...
I don't mind waitin' my turn, you were here first.
I bet it's suffocatin' sittin' together and watchin' a movie with a guy like me.
Honestly, you needta get way more cautious of people, Lil' Miss. I've been sayin' it over and over again, but aren't you scared of me?
I'm grateful, Lil' Miss. But, I'll have to hold back this time.
I'm here to grab some yakuza movies.
It's real tough putting up the delinquent-look like me, y'know. If I don't get into the headspace to be "like that", I'll let down my juniors and the people around me.
That's why I'm grabbing yakuza movie DVDs. So I can study up.
Young women probably aren't into stuff like yakuza movies. It might have stuff like violence and sex scenes, so it's not somethin' kids should be watchin'.
They say yakuza and idols got stuff in common, y'know. Apparently, the path of the idol is like that real chivalrous path of the yakuza.
I heard from Tetsu...-- he's a junior in my club-- it's a real tearjerker. Can't let kids or girls see me cry.
... Well, I'll just watch whatever you brought.
It's a lonely thing, watching stuff all by yourself.
My kid sister always pesters me, like, "Watch it with me!", when there's a variety show on TV or somethin'. I'm not really interested in that kinda thing, but y'know.
A man doesn't go back on his word. If I say I'll treat ya kindly, I will.
You're real strong-willled, meddlesome and damn spoiled, just like my kid sister.
