MIDORI DAYS

The beat of my heart.

A wish that fills even a sigh.

A feeling of warmth just from gazing at you.

Looking for mistakes in a cowardly love.

That awkward kindness of yours.

The flitting droplets I want to keep for myself.

Believing only in these overflowing feelings like it's all rushing past.

Someday I want to be special to you. Catch me with all your heart.

My heart dances in different colors as its melody resounds the way to you.

Hold tight to these beloved days...

Wow!

Look, Seiji. It's such nice weather today.

Quiet down.

At least let me sleep in on a Sunday.

But it would be a waste not to air out the futon.

Ah... I'm sorry.

Well, it's boring at home anyway. Let's go wander some.

What?

I'm happy to be going out with you on such a nice day off.

The way things are, you can't help but be "with me."

Even so, I'm happy.

Fine fine, have it your way.

Save me, Big Bro!

Huh?

Big Bro, take me and run!

Wh-what the!

Days 6 Shiori's Big Love Love Strategy

We were going out as a family, but it looks like Shiori doesn't care to.

Well, they're still newlyweds.

I wanted them to spend their day off alone, just the two of them.

That's why...

Shiori... so that's what it was.

Sawamura! Please, look after Shiori.

Huh?

Oh Dad, "Please look after my daughter forever."

That's not what he told me!

Say, Shiori.

Let's go together. I've been looking forward...

Don't bother with me. Just get going.

Why's this happening?

My dad told you to look after me!

Geez, I guess I have to.

But my time alone with Seiji...

Quit pouting.

So then, another boy from my class confessed to me.

That's the sixth one now. I could care less about kids my own age.

Oh really. That's such a shame.

I'd be your girlfriend anytime though.

Thanks, that's duly noted.

You're treating me like a child again!

Forget that. Your family was all ready to go out together...

So are you sure about this?

It doesn't matter.

I get kind of tired of watching that lady try so hard...

That lady?

I mean, no matter how hard the person my dad remarried tries...

...my mom in heaven is my only mom.

Hey, let's go play.

Yeah, yeah.

Quit clinging. It makes it hard to walk.

Oh come on, I'm scared of getting lost in this crowd.

Besides, it's okay because it's a date.

D-Date?

Quit pouting.

Thank you very much.

Huh?

Sawamura?

Big Bro.

That girl from the other day...

I-l-I-ls Sawamura on a date with a little girl!?

No way...

But...

Well?

Aren't I much better than those women past twenty?

It was worth dating you since the time you were a kid.

What if that happens?

Ah, stupid idiot, there's no way that's the case...

C'mon, let's take some together!

Yeah, sure.

Couples' pictures! And look how she clings to him...

I'd better start getting in gear!

Tsumo!

Pure nine lantern set, triple quadruple limit...96,000 points.

Hey Big Bro, let's do this next.

You've got guts challenging me to a fighting game.

Let's give it a go!

I won't lose!

Let's see...

I'm going to win!

Fight!

Winner! Nyan Nyan! Yay!

Winner! Nyan Nyan! Yay! I'm the best in the world!

I'm the best in the world!

Yay!

All right!

Wh-what!

I never lose at fighting games...

Uh?

What's wrong?

N-Nothin'! What's wrong?

Wait a second.

Hey, you okay?

I'm sorry. I don't know which button is which...

That's true...

Right, I'll call the shots, so hit the buttons I tell you to.

All right! I'll try.

Are you ready yet?

Yeah! This time I won't go easy on you!

Now! The A button!

Right! Now! The A button!

Hold A down and hit C!

Right!

Start a combo! Keep mashing all the buttons like that!

Not yet!

A! A!D!B! C!

Dammit!

Get up! Stand up, Arashi!

You're mine. Take this!

I... I'm toast!

Wha?

He's so tough!

Winner, Arashi!

Yeah!

Big Bro, you're awesome...

Huh?

Hey! What're you doing to my boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

Hey, dating a grade schooler's...

Are you a dumbass?

Oh I get it, you're watching a neighborhood girl.

You really had me worried.

And what are you doing hanging around alone?

Every now and then I think I should drop by the house.

You only come home when you feel like it.

What did you say?

No, nothin'. I'm going to the bathroom.

Darn, that was such a good chance, too...

I bet you've got the hots for Seiji. Even if you hide it I can tell.

You're mad because you can't be alone with him, right?

You want him to notice you, don't you? Get lost!

What's it to you?

I'd be willing to help you if you like...

What I'm saying is, let big sister O-Rin be your special coach...

...because she knows all the ins and outs about Seiji.

MIDORI DAYS

MIDORI DAYS

Thanks for watching Shiori. No big deal...

No need to worry!

I kept an eye on him so he wouldn't do anything bad to her.

Don't talk weird like that!

Shiori.

Yes ma'am!

Got it?

Yes! I hope it works out, coach!

Right.

Coach? What's that about?

It's a secret!

Sis, what've you been telling her?

Not much.

Let's go home now, Shiori.

Shiori.

Let's just go already.

The uses of the conjunction "as" are numerous...

...and it can easily seem to be complex.

For example, in #1...

Ayase?

I know how sweet his sleeping face looks...

But you don't have to stare at him so much.

What?

Sa-Sawamura...

Ah!

Hey, Sawamura...

Sawamura?

Oww..

Are you okay?

Yeah...

I'm sorry about what happened...

Just drop it. I'm sorry about what happened...

I'm hom e!

Welcome back.

What the!

What the hell are you doing?

I wanted you to help me with homework...

Homework?

W-well, I guess I can handle looking at grade school homework...

First step, greeting him like a young wife...check!

The enchanting Rin-produced Big Love Love Strategy!

The fun has only just begun!

So, I don't understand this part...

What do you think of my glasses look?

Now I'll have his heart in my clutches...

Do you have poor vision?

I'll go get my pencil box.

It didn't work, coach. He doesn't respond at all.

Well, I had figured he was the type who'd go for girls with glasses...

All right! On to the next plan! Go on, Shiori!

Yes, coach!

Sorry I took so long, Big Bro.

What do you think of my sailor uniform look?

That's my sister's school uniform! She'd kill you if she saw you in it!

Oh no, scary! I'd better take it off quick!

There's still hope!

Hey!

You're gonna catch cold in that. Here, put this on.

Hmm...

I didn't think he'd be this tough...

But there's no time to be depressed, Shiori!

Now we'll just have to go for broke!

Sorry for the wait!

I want you to help me study, master. Meow!

Acho! You teach me study now!

Come! I command you to instruct me!

That's enough of that!

If you aren't serious, just go on home!

Seiji...

What?

Could this possibly be your sister's doing?

I dunno.

You lie!

Who else but you would make a kid do stupid things like that?

The girl was depressed.

Huh?

She wasn't sure she was attractive as a woman...

Attractive? She's still a kid.

Even if she's a child, she's still a girl.

You can't go hurting her delicate feelings.

I don't wanna hear that from you.

The bath's ready! I know!

What a bitch of a sister...

But she's unexpectedly considerate.

She's worried about Shiori...

That's just dumb and naive!

She's an ogre who likes ensnaring people.

If you open your heart to her you'll be toyed with until the day you die.

What're you makin' this kid do?

Chance rendezvous in the bathroom of course.

Playing with people's feelings...

This joke's gone too far!

It's unforgivable!

Bring it on, son. Just don't regret it once you're dead.

Stop it! Please.

Both of you stop fighting!

Your sister was trying to help me out.

I mean, I really like you a lot.

But you don't take me seriously because I'm a child.

That's why...

Shiori...

Am I no good?

Is a little girl like me not good enough?

That's not it, Shiori.

He likes them even smaller.

Look.

H-hello.

Shiori!

Are you okay, Shiori?

My my, he'll never get a girlfriend as long as he's that uptight.

But, that's one of his good qualities.

Ogre! Demon! Cow!

That's why it was just a dream!

You slipped and fell in the bathroom, and passed out!

Maybe you're right after all...

Here look, my hand's been injured and bandaged up forever.

So that's why you had a weird dream about a girl being there.

Just a dream.

Ah well, I sure wish I could be your right hand...

Then we'd be able to be together all the time...

Ah! It's already past eight!

Shiori, go on home. I'll walk you there.

I won't go!

Ah?

Coming!

Shiori!

Thank goodness.

It was so late...I was worried.

I'm sorry this caused trouble for you...

No, it's okay.

I made your favorite hamburger steak tonight.

Let's go home and eat together.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to go home!

H-hey.

I'll live in this house with him! Isn't that right, Big Bro?

Stupid! What're you talking about?

Why...

Don't try to be my mother. No matter how hard you try...

...I only have one mom!

Shiori...

You want to live happily with Dad. It'd be easier if I weren't around, right?

You could never be my mom anyway!

Why...

Why don't you understand...

I just want things to go well with you...

Even you should see it by now.

Your mom seriously does think of you.

Go on, go.

Don't be stubborn, be honest.

I'm pretty sure your mom in heaven would say so too.

I'm not being stubborn!

I was worried that you'd be lonely if I went back home.

Oh yeah? And why would I be lonely?

Fine, see if I care!

Let's go home, Mom.

Shiori...

I feel hungry. That steak sounds good.

Look, Shiori. The stars look beautiful tonight.

They sure do...

Big Bro, listen to this.

For good luck, so you don't get lonely .

Stupid, get going already! For good luck, so you don't get lonely .

Bye-bye!

It looks like they'll get along fine.

Yeah...

Be honest...eh?

That was really touching.

She didn't look like she'd go if I didn't say something like that.

Today's the day...

Here goes!

Huh? Ayase?

Sorry, I was in a hurry.

Oh, right. I guess you'll do this time.

Huh?

I have two movie tickets...no, um...

The girl who was going with me suddenly couldn't go...

Wouldn't it be a waste to just throw one away?

What's your point?

You know! I thought maybe you'd like to...you know...

Let's see...

S-Seiji, this means...

Oh! I wanted to see this!

Well, it's not like you have to...

I'll go, you bet I'll go!

R-Really? Then we'll meet in front of Hoshikawa Station at 1:00 tomorrow.

Sure!

1 did it!

Ayase and Seiji watching a movie together...

Seiji still doesn't seem to have noticed.

But that was an invitation to a date.

What should I do...

So before I knew it I was thinking about you.

It seemed terribly embarrassing and terribly unpleasant...

...because I'm afraid of conveying my feelings.

Even if it's in my head, my heart can't do a thing.

When I see you, as always I try to talk so that you won't figure me out.

My composure gone and in pain, I wind up lying to you.

But...

A little more, a little more... If I get a little closer to your heart...

A little more, a little more... ...So that this moment won't disappear.

God, please grant me courage.

A first date with Ayase!

She's planing this and that, filled with determination and desire!

Midori Days, Days 7: First Date.

Seiji...I'm so anxious.
