<0282>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Today, I made a recruitment poster."
<0283>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I made the Big Dango Family as cute as last year's."
<0284> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
<0285>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I posted it on the notice board during lunch."
<0286>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But when I came back for cleaning duties... somehow, the poster had fallen to the floor."
<0287>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Picking it up, I wondered what happened."
<0288>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's when people around me called out, 'Ahh, she found out'..."
<0289> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0290>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "When I wasn't around, it was torn off and passed amongst the class."
<0291>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I wonder what was wrong."
<0292>
// It's being labeled as different after having repeated two years.
<0293>
// No matter what she does, people will exploit her faults and pick on her.
<0294>
// If I was there with her... I'd comfort her on the spot...
<0295>
// And then, when classes finish, we'd probably stick the poster back up, together.
<0296>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Could it be the Big Dango Family?"
<0297> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, there's nothing wrong."
<0298> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But I think it's just something that takes time."
<0299> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's why you must endure it right now."
<0300>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'd feel bad if it was torn off again..."
<0301> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, it's important that you insist. Have you done so?"
<0302>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well, yes..."
<0303>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I asked them not to tear it off again."
<0304> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, that makes it alright. It won't be torn off again."
<0305>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I see... I believe you, so I'll stick it back up tomorrow."
<0306> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<0307>
// April 8 (Thursday)
<0308>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sorry for bothering you while you're tired... but can I tell you something?"
<0309> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, sure."
<0310>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "This morning, I put the poster back up."
<0311>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "This time it wasn't torn off."
<0312>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "From afar, I saw a new female student coming and stopping by the notice board."
<0313>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And I thought, did she notice the drama club's poster?"
<0314> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, of course she noticed."
<0315> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Or should I say, it's got an impact that makes it hard to ignore."
<0316>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll be happy if she becomes slightly interested."
<0317> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "When is the introduction seminar?"
<0318>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The following Saturday."
<0319>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's a combined event in the gym."
<0320>
// All those events were already over when Nagisa returned to school last year.
<0321>
// That's why it's a bit different than last year, when we were just doing it on our own.
<0322>
// But, for Nagisa's case, it'd be better to attend those planned events.
<0323>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I feel extremely nervous."
<0324> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "After all, last year you'd only practiced and never did the seminar."
<0325>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yeah... that's right."
<0326>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll try and remember the practice with \m{B}-kun and do my best."
<0327> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's right. Even though there's been a blank, you'll be alright."
<0328>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. When I perform, I'm thinking that \m{B}-kun is watching over me..."
<0329> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why, that sounds like as if I'm dead."
<0330>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's not it. But by then, \m{B}-kun will be busy at work."
<0331> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's true."
<0332>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But honestly..."
<0333>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I wish that... \m{B}-kun could be there by my side, watching over me."
<0334>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "So I would feel really strong inside...and be able to relax..."
<0335>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "As if I could do my best..."
<0336>
// A hint of frailness.
<0337>
// In between this, the sadness in her surged, and her eyes moistened.
<0338>
// But she did not let any tears fall.
<0339>
// After desperately holding them in...
<0340>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, this time I'll be fine by myself."
<0341>
// She said so with a smile.
