Where are your good parents? Rika: They went shopping at the department store--- Nakata: What, you were left behind? Rika: Nah, I refused, I said I wanted to play with Tora-chan. Nakata: Phunn. With Tora-chan, huh.... Hey, wait a minute. Page 186 Nakata: Don't decide this by yourself. I have many things to--- Rika: What many things? Nakata: n? Rika: Once you finish the laundry, you don't have anything to do, you over-30, no girlfriend, unamrried teacher. Nakata: Rika-cha, you're a girl. Be a litte more careful with the words you use.

Page 189 Rika: In return... Nakata: I got it, a stuffed panda toy, right? Rika: I-chan will be a big one. Miyuki: Huh, sensei. Nakata: Yo. You remember her, right? This is Rika-cha, from my apartment complex. Rika: Hello. Miyuki: Ah, hello. Nakata: Well, it's OK that I was asked by her parents to take care of her. I don't know how to be a companion to a girl like this one. Page 190 Nakata: ---and, I think it might be troublesome, but...Rika-chan said that she wanted to see you. Miyuki: Me? Nakata: Right. Rika: Yeah. Nakata: Well, Rika-chan is an only child. Since she met you last time, she said many times that she wanted a big sister like you. Right. Rika: Yeah. Miyuki: Phunnnn. Ah, do you want cake? Rika: Yeah. Page 191 Nakata: Is your brother not home today? Miyuki: No, he left a litte while ago. Rika: To the library. Miyuki: What should we play? Nakata: Ah. It's OK,...don't worry. That area is suitable. yeah Miyuki: But. Nakata: Rika-chan, go take a look over there. Page 192 Nakata: It's a dream for us who live in an apartment. A vast garden, a beautiful lawn. How about if you play in the garden? Miyuki: Then, let's play badminton. Nakata: Ah, that's OK. Rika-chan is a weakling. Rika: Wha-at. Nakata: For sports---right!! Rika: Yeah. Nakata: She likes to bask in the sun. Right!! Rika: I'm eating cake. Nakata: What a slow child. She must hate pandas. Page 193 Miyuki: Is it OK? All alone... Nakata: It's OK, it's OK. That's her hobby. Well, it's such fine weather. Miyuki: Aren't you going to eat the cake. Nakata: huh? Well, I haven't eaten anything since this morning, but, if it's sweet, no thanks. But I am hungry, I haven't eaten anything since this morning. Miyuki: ---Darn. And I just cleaned up the kitchen. Page 195 Nakata: Ah, that was delicious. Your cooking is delicious, Wakamatsu. Miyuki: It was just sir-fried left overs. Nakata: Eh, that? Really? Miyuki: Usually, you eat a lot of awful things, right. Page 196 Miyuki: That's why you should get a wife. Nakata: When should I do that? Miyuki: You decide that by yourself. Nakata: Maybe..around May of next year... and then there is the location... Miyuki: So you two, you and your companion, should decide that. Nakata: One. Two. Where should we go? Page 197 Miyuki: If you're going to say that all of the time, you won't get any proposals for marriage. Until Onii-chan gets married, I will not leave this house. Nakata: It's alright, whenever you leave. Because a new Miyuki will come to this house soon. Oh, yeah. When Miyuki Kashima comes to this house, she'll become Miyuki Wakamatsu. And therefore, Miyuki Wakamatsu will be Miyuki Nakata--- Miyuki: I told you I won't, didn't I. Page 198 Rika: Rika Nakata. just kidding I got thirsty. Do you have any cold drinks? Miyuki: How about cola? Rika: Yeah!! Basking in the sun, basking in the sun. Nakata: Wakamatsu, please!! Become my wife!! Page 199 Nakata: Please!! Miyuki: Stop it. It's shameful for a teacher to bow his head to a student. Nakata: I don't care, even if it's shameful. I am serious! Miyuki: Compose yourself. You and I are 20 years apart--- Nakata: Love doesn't care about age differences. I can't compose myself, it's love. Please! I'll absolutely make you happy! I won't be unfaithful! I'll won't smoke! I'll drink less! I will do whatever you request! I won't tell the police! Please help me!! Miyuki: What am I, a kidnapper? Page 200 Nakata: Please!! Marry meee!! Stay over there. Rika: No. Nakata: I am now talking about something very important, so don't bother me. Page 201 Rika: No. Nakata: Listen to this. Don't you care about the panda toy? Miyuki: You are the kidnapper, aren't you. Rika: Let's go back, Tora-chan. Nakata: Be quiet! The panda toy--- Rika: I don't need that!! Nakata: eh? Rika: Let me go! I won't let you marry her!! Nakata: H-, hey!! Miyuki: Kyaa!! Rika: Tora-chan is mine!! Nakata: eh? Page 202 Rika: I will become Tora-chan's wife!! Page 203 Nakata: Just like Miyuki when she was little. That means, in ten years... muh-fuh in ten years..... hah.... Page 204 Rika: Wow, you're cool, Ma-kun. Ma-kun: I'm having a game now, do you want to come watch!? Rika: Yeah. When you grow up, you'll be a professional baseball player, right. Ma-kun: * I'll work hard. Rika: When I grow up, I'll be pretty. Since I'll be your wife. Ma-kun: Hah hah, OK, OK.
