Oop, ya didn’t get hurt, didja? … Oh, Lil’ Miss Transfer Student?
Sorry. Totally bumped in you outta nowhere.
You’re pretty small, so I didn’t see ya. I’m not sayin’ you’re a runt, though.
Ahh, but, guess it can’t be helped if people take it that way when I put it like that…
I’m not really good at communicatin’ stuff to other people.
My kid sister says I can’t express myself well, and there’s tons of times people get the wrong idea and pick fights.
The way I look doesn’t do me any favors either, huh. I know I’m scary-lookin’.
… You don’t think that? You’re too kind, Lil’ Miss. But you don’t need to fuss over me.
Even when I was back in middle school, people have always misunderstood me by the way I looked.
Tryin’ to convince people differently didn’t pan out there, and I was thrown in the position of boss before I knew it.
Guys who smoked were a dime a dozen there.
There weren’t any guys like the ones here in Yumenosaki Academy, and even if there were, they definitely wouldn’t have made it outta that middle school alive.
Ahh, my bad. Talk like this has gotta be borin’ the hell outta ya.
Lil’ Miss, y’sure you’re not hurt? If it hurts anywhere, I’ll take ya to the infirmary.
You’re okay? There’s times when you can get real stubborn, Lil’ Miss. ‘Course I’m gonna worry.
But, well… Puttin’ faith in your buddies is important. If ya say you’re alright, I won't take you to the infirmary.
Mnn, well, see ya Lil’ Miss. ‘Til next time… Ahh, wait a sec.
— I’m not gonna force ya to go to the infirmary, ‘kay? Gimme your arm.
Ahh… That’s what I figured. The sleeve on your uniform’s frayed, Lil’ Miss.
I’ll patch it up as an apology for bumpin’ into ya. Don’t worry. It’s gonna take five minutes tops if it’s only frayed this much.
… Alrighty, all done. Try it on for me, Lil’ Miss.
Ohh, not bad, huh? Ahh, no need to thank me. Like I just said— I’m just apologizin’ for bumpin’ into ya.
… You’re such an honest person. But, I don’t like it when you’re serious like that.
If you were at my middle school, maybe things woulda been a little different.
Here too— ever since ya came, it looks like things have been changin’ for the better lil’-by-lil’.
I got high hopes for ya too, Lil’ Miss. Well, if there’s anythin’ that’s troublin’ ya, lemme know.
I can’t help ya out in the open or anything, but I’ll help out as far as I’m able.
