=== "No comment" vs. "Classified Information" ===

Kinny Riddle's Lines: 
"Just how old are you really?" 
"No comment~" 

Original Japanese Text: 
「あなたの本当の歳を教えて下さい」 
「禁則事項です」 

Properly Translated Text: 
"Please tell me your real age." 
"It's classified information~" 

For that matter, anytime Mikuru says "No comment", it's actually "classified information". I kind of picked up that this was not exactly the right line, after seeing episode 5 of the anime, so I did an OCR on the raw scans I have.

=== "I can't take it anymore!" ===

The actual line is 「やれやれ」, which is more like the "Oh boy" sort of response. If there was anything like this before, again, it needs to be fixed.

I would interpret 「やれやれ」 to be one of the following:
* "Oh great..."
* "My my..."
* "Oh, here we go..."
* "Oh man..."
* "Oh bother..."
* "Oh bugger..." (British colloquial)

Basically, I think 「やれやれ」tends to be used like a verbal sigh.

"Oh boy...", like you suggested above, fits in fine as well.

=== "Sorry, I'm on my way!" ===

The actual line is 「すまん、今起きたとこなんだ」, which is "Sorry, I just woke up just now!"

=== "Then, see you!" ===

I don't have a copy of the original text in front of me, but I'm assuming that Asahina says something to the effect of 「じゃあ、また！」or「じゃあね！」which although would translate more directly into a "Then, ... (see you; later; again; etc.) it seems that because the meaning is the same as a "See you later" that is more commonly used in English than "Then, see you!" it should be changed to something more appropriate.
