Yae : Kazeno-kun.
Kazeno: Ah, Yae-san. What's the matter ?
Yae : Um, that's all of a sudden, but if you're free tomorrow, let's go to the Central Park... together...
- Yes, with pleasure / - Sorry, I'm...
Yae : ...I'm glad.
Kazeno : Then, let's meet at Central Park's entrance ?
Yae : Yes... I'll wait for you.
Kazeno : Hooray, can't wait for it !
Kazeno : Well then, let's wait for Yae-san at Central Park.
Kazeno : Have I kept you waiting, Yae-san ?
Yae : No, no... I'm sorry to have forcefully invited you today. As there's something I absolutely want to tell you...
Kazeno : Something you want to tell me ?
Yae : ...
Kazeno : (Yae-san ?)
Yae : The cherry blossoms... How beautiful...
Kazeno : I agree. (Yae-san... She said she has something to tell me... I wonder what is it ?)
Yae : Ah...
Kazeno : Yae-san ?
Yae : This cherry tree... Its flowers don't blossom...
Kazeno : Indeed...
Yae : Just like me...
Kazeno : That's not true ! Why are you saying...
Yae : Because, I... You know, in truth, I've repeated a class.
Kazeno : Yae-san...
Yae : In 1st year, I attended to another school. I was playing Volley-ball earnestly. But...
Kazeno : (So that's why she was furtively looking inside the Volley-ball club...)
Yae : One day, the Club's budget box disappeared from the Club's room... Everyone knew it, they were hushering : "it's so-and-so-Sempai who did it".
But, were the culprit exposed, the club would have been closed, and I didn't want that.
Kazeno : Don't tell me...
Yae : Yes. I told it was I who did it... With this, I thought everything would go fine...
I thought it wouldn't matter if I was suspended from school. As long as I can play volley-ball it would be okay ! But... but...
Yae : After my suspension expired, the people I was playing volley-ball with all abandoned me...
Kazeno : Yae-san...
Yae : That's why... That's why, I'm like this cherry tree. Unable to bloom... Just a bothersome being...
- That's not true ! / - ... ...
Kazeno : That's not true ! After all, that tree is blooming. It's just blooming a little later than the others.
Yae : But... Even if it's blooming...
Kazeno : It's fine if it's blooming late. Even if it were to hurry and bloom, if it doesn't produce a nice color and smell, it would mean nothing.
Yae : ... ...
Kazeno : Yae-san, it's fine if you bloom at your pace.
Yae : ...Thank you. My decision is made. ...I'll enter the Volley-ball Club !
Kazeno : Good.
Yae : Thank you for today. At last, I've...
Kazeno : The real battle begins now, Yae-san.
Yae : Yes, you're right.
Kazeno : Well then, shall we go home ? I'll take you back home.
Yae : Yes.
Kazeno : Ah, Yae-san. Welcome to the Volley-ball Club !
Yae : Y, yes. Thank you.
Kazeno : As I thought, you really look good in the Volley-ball Club's uniform.
Yae : Is, is that so ?
Kazeno : Really. Be a bit more confident in yourself, okay ?
Yae : Okay. ...If it's you who's asking me this.
Kazeno : Eh ?
Yae : No no, nothing !
Kazeno : (Still, she looks really good.)
