| Tenma | Hello, Igawa? You can't make it here yet? |
| Igawa | "I deeply apologize! I've been dragged into a traffic jam, I'm afraid it would take a bit more until I arrive--!" |
| Tenma | Got it, never mind. I'll go back by foot. |
| Igawa | "I'm so very sorry..." |
| Tenma | Geez... that's why, I always tell you to consider traffic jams and leave earlier. |
| Why do I gotta go back home by foot. |
| High Schooler A | Hm? |
| High Schooler B | Oi, this is... |
| High Schooler A | For real? |
| High Schooler B | It must be him. |
| Tenma | .... |
| High Schooler A | Thought so! You, you're Sumeragi Tenma right? The celebrity! |
| Tenma | .... |
| High Schooler B | This is sick! He's the real thing. It's the first time I see a celebrity~. |
| Tenma | Ah-... thank you. |
| High Schooler A | Amazing! It's the same as the one on TV! |
| High Schooler B | What, are you having photo shooting right now or something? |
| High Schooler A | There aren't cameras here so it can't be that right. |
| More like, even though you're super famous, you walking here normally would scare anyone! |
| Tenma | .... |
| High Schooler A | Hey, say, last year there was your drama series in the summer right? |
| That drama, I watched it too yknow, the actress who played the girlfriend was super cute. |
| High Schooler B | Ah— Definitely, I like her too. |
| Tenma | .... |
| High Schooler A | Hey, you, you know her right? That girl, introduce her to us! Even just telling us her mail address will do! |
| Tenma | No, I just co-acted with her, I don't know her contact information. |
| High Schooler A | Huh? Why. If you're a celebrity you can at least ask for her contact right? |
| High Schooler B | Like, if you don't know, go ask her. |
| Tenma | No, like I told you... |
| High Schooler A | Are you putting on airs because you're famous? |
| High Schooler B | You're probably going to mixers as much as you want right? Inviting us too will be enough. |
| Tenma | .... |
| High Schooler A | Oi, you listening? |
| Tenma | .... |
| Juza | Tenma? |
| Tenma | --. |
| High Schooler A | What? |
| High Schooler B | We're talking with Tenma-kun right now. Don't get in the way. |
| Juza | Your friends... they don't look that. |
| Tenma | .... |
| Juza | ...oi, Tenma. |
| High Schooler A | Like I told you, you're getting in the way. |
| Juza | Aahh? |
| High Schooler B | Aaaahn? What's with you, you want a piece of me? |
| Juza | Bring it on. |
| Tenma | Stop it, Hyodo. |
| High Schooler A | Hyodo...? |
| High Schooler B | He has the O High uniforms and he's Hyodo, don't tell me... |
| High Schooler A | Hyodo Juza!? |
| Juza | ...what about it. |
| High Schooler A | This is bad— oi, let's go! |
| High Schooler B | Y-Yeah! |
| Juza | What's with them... |
| Tenma | .... |
| Juza | Oi, you alright? |
| Tenma | ...I-I'm not going to thank you for that! |
| Juza | Thank me? I didn't really ask you to. They just ran away on their own. |
| Tenma | ...h-hmph. |
| Juza | .... |
| Tenma | .... |
| Oi, don't follow me! |
| Juza | We go in the same direction, so it can't be helped right. |
| Tenma | .... |
| |
| Juza | "Wait!" |
| That's not it... what is it that doesn’t feel right...? |
| "Wait!" |
| Tenma | ...you've been training alone until this late huh. |
| Juza | Tenma... you need something? |
| Tenma | Nothing. I just thought I'll join you since I have nothing better to do. |
| That line from earlier, try saying it once again. |
| Juza | "Wait!" |
| Tenma | That's wrong, you should make the acting in this part smaller. |
| Juza | Smaller? |
| "Wait" |
| Tenma | You just made your voice smaller! I'm telling you to make your gestures smaller! |
| Juza | Aah, so that's what you meant. |
| "Wait!" |
| Tenma | Right. Then, the next line. |
| Juza | "It was my fault" |
| Tenma | As if there's someone who apologizes, while glaring like that! |
| Juza | I thought about showing my seriousness. |
| Tenma | In your case it becomes serious in a different meaning! You're not going to kill the other party, so put a bit more thought into it! |
| Juza | ...like this? |
| Tenma | If you want my money I'm not giving it to you! |
| Juza | I didn't say anything like that. |
| Tenma | It looks as though you were saying that. |
| Juza | Ugh... then, like this? |
| Tenma | If you want to use the toilet just go already. |
| Juza | That's not it--. |
| Tenma | If you want others to understand your apology, you should appeal with your eyes to the other party. |
| Juza | --. |
| Tenma | That's right. Now say the line. |
| Juza | "It was my fault..." |
| Tenma | Right. You became better than earlier. |
| Juza | ...why? |
| Tenma | Why what? |
| Juza | I didn't mean to change the way I said the line, but I feel like it has changed. |
| Tenma | Since your expression has changed, the line has naturally changed along with it too. It's not such a strange thing. |
| Acting isn't something done with mere words alone. If you change the execution, the verbal tone and the tone of the voice will change too. |
| Juza | ...I see. |
| Tenma | Something like that, did you realize it just now? |
| Juza | You're amazing. |
| Tenma | ...I-It's nothing, something like that is obvious. Proceed to the next line already. |
| |
| Juza | It's already this late... |
| My bad. For making you accompany me. You've been a real help. |
| Tenma | ...it's nothing. I just don’t like owing to others. |
| Juza | Owing? |
| Tenma | I'm talking about today on the way home. |
| Juza | Ah, that... you always get caught in stuff like that? |
| Tenma | Well, occasionally. But it's been a while since it was with their type. |
| Juza | Is that alright? As a celebrity, being involved in violence is bad right. After all you can't hurt your face, your selling point. |
| Tenma | I always manage to get away somehow. Today Igawa simply couldn't come to pick me up. |
| Juza | Even if you say that... |
| Ah, I know. |
| Tenma | ? |
| Juza | This, it's my phone number. From now on, when you're being picked on call me. |
| Tenma | Haah!? |
| Juza | If they run away just by me showing up, that'll make things simple right. |
| Tenma | .... |
| Juza | Hurry up with it. |
| Tenma | ...got it. |
| I registered you. It's fine now right— Juza-san. |
| Juza | Yeah. Join me on practice, again someday. |
| Tenma | ...i-it can't be helped then. I can join you when I have some free time. |
