: Sempai!!  Today is your turn!
: ..
: Oh? You're that happy?
: Well... er
: Hot as usual, eh?
: "I felt embarrassing that she handed me that all of a sudden.."  
(misuse of props!)
: Write that on diary!
: Will you two knock  it off?!
: Sempai and I are in the middle of pure platonic affair, so don't disturb us!!
: Hikaru-chan.....
: Then, I'll be waiting for your love filled diary!  Bye-P!
(I couldn't make out the line..  I'll have to check on LD)

: Ayukawa..
: Exchange diary?
: Yeah..
: Hot as usual, eh?
: not really...  It was strong request by Hikaru-chan that we started..

: What is it, Yuhsaku?
: About that exchange diary you're doing with Kasuga...
: Non, non.  Exchange diary of love!
: So, about that.. I was wondering if I can join in, and make it as a group diary
(Well, Asa?)
: What're you talking about?!  Why don't you keep yourself busy with picture diary?!
(Picture diary: typical elementary summer holiday homework.  Look at Maison Ikkoku episode 12 for example.)
: Hikaru-chan!!!

: Let's see..
: "Today, I took bath with my Kumagorou-chan, the doll.  Kumagorou-chan  doesn't complain about getting wet.  He's cute isn't he, sempai?"
: So what about it?..  "I think Kumagorou-chan is great..  When I am taking the bath, please let me use him, too."

: Oh new menu?
: Yeah, master asked me, so come to my place tomorrow, and try them.
: Your place?
: And get some opinions and pick which ones to use.
: Alright! Lucky!
: Ayukawa's home cooking..
: Yeah, for the return to the food, let Madoka-san read our exchange diary of love!  Good idea, right?  
: That's er...
: She'll be moved by our love!
: So, Hikaru-chan..
"achoo!"
: Cold?
: Yes, but I'll be more than fine tomorrow!
: More than fine, eh?...   I wish if Hikaru-chan's cold would get worse and doesn't come..  Then....

: I won't have to let her read this diary either..  I hope she'd have a fever and be in bed...  Don't you think so, Jingoro?

: Did you hear him?
: Yeah..  He's going a bit too far!
: Damn brother.. He's puffed up.. he'll pay for it..

: Air fell so heavy..  Morning!  ?
: Kasuga, you're late!
: Something happened, Komatsu?
: Don't joke around!
: Today's Hikaru-chan's funeral, remember?
: Hikaru-chan's?!  Come on, stop joking around.
: Baka! Do you think we'd say that as a joke?
: !!
: She passes away peacefully as if she's falling asleep.  
: It was so sudden..  She was that healthy..
: Wait a sec!
: She just went with the cold!
: Cold?!...  Hikaru-chan....  No way!!
: We'll be late for the funeral, if we don't get going..

: This many people?...  
: Schools and companies are all closed for the national funeral...
: Na.. national funeral?.. you gotta be kidding..
: That's insult to Hikaru-chan.
: Hikaru-chan deserve this..
: .......

: What happened to Hikaru-onechan?
: She left for a world far away..
: And she won't come back...
: Old man...
: Kyousuke, hang onto yourself, OK?..
: Yeah.....

: !!
: God is merciless isn't he?..  How can he take away life of innocent Hikaru-chan like an angel.....
: Master....   Hikaru-chan.. you really are dead, aren't you?..  A..Ayukawa!  er..
: Don't..
: ?!
: I don't wanna talk to anybody right now.....
: Ayukawa's tear hit me so hard.....

: Yuhsaku...

: To represent her friends, the words of farewell from Kyousuke Kasuga-kun whom the deceased was specially close to.
: ?!  Me?!
: Kasuga!  Do it well.
: Yeah.. 

: Hikaru-chan..  every time I remember your shiny smile.... Hikaru-chan.......  No.. I can't!  I can't give speech like this!
: Damn it Kasuga!  Don't cry!!  Give the words to send her off for Hikaru-chan's sake!!  Get up!
: Yuhsaku....
: Don't cry..  Crying won't make Hikaru-chan happy!  DON'T CRY!!

: Then please say the last good bye..
: Hikaru-chan.. take Kumagorou with you....

CM!

: Hikaru-chan was the only one who laughed with our dopy boring jokes..
: Our youth hood is over...
: With Hikaru-chan..  We made up our mind to study hard!
: For the sake of Hikaru-chan who can't study even if she wants to..
: Or else, she'll be laughing at us!
: Let's go look for "juku"!   Farewell, our youth hood!

: To America?!
: Yeah, tomorrow first thing.
: But why?
: 'Cause.. This town is filled too much with Hikaru's memory..  besides, there's no point in staying in Japan without Hikaru..
: But!
: Kasuga-kun, thanks for being nice to Hikaru...  
: Ayukawa.. What about us?
: That's over.
: .............
: It's probably because Hikaru was around that I loved you...
: Ayukawa..
: Madoka!! Sorry to keep you waiting!!
: Hikaru cut off relations with those punks for your sake..  but.. but  
: Ayukawa!!  
: I'll do as much as I want to.,  Good bye, Kasuga-kun!
: Ayukawa....

: ? Old man, what're you doing?!
: Kyousuke, I'm quitting photographer.
: Why? 
: Because Hikaru-chan died..  
: Old man!
: Why should I push shutters anymore?!
: Oniechan..
: !! Kurumi, Manami..  You two!!
: We decided to enter Buddhist nunhood..
: Hikaru-chan died to proved that beauty is short lived, so no way of knowing when we'll die, right?  
: We'll spend the rest of our life praying for Hikaru-chan's spirit.

: M..master!  Abcb is.. Why?!
: Now that everybody is going away, I thought I might as well close the place
: But you don't have to demolish!
: Naah.  It's better to clean all up this way. 
: It was fun watching you guys making noise, but not anymore I guess..
: Yuhsaku!
: I probably won't cry anymore..  I used up all the tears I could shed..  I'll go pilgrimage..  That's for Hikaru-chan's best sake..
: Everybody is falling apart...

: So that was it..  You were the one who made us all feel up.  And I..  Time like this is when I wish innocent Hikaru-chan is around

: Hi!!  Sorry to keep you waiting!!  ?  Why are you all depressed as if the world has ended?
: A good girl named Hikaru-chan passed away all of a sudden..
: We're all humans so there's a time when we all die!  Come on everybody, cheer up!  Don't worry about it!  Happy future is waiting for all of you!!
: y..yeah.
: Brighten up!!
: She sure is Hikaru-chan..  She doesn't even worry that she's dead!
: "Today, I took bath with my Kumagorou-chan, the doll.  Kumagorou-chan  doesn't complain about getting wet." so innocent....  I'm sorry!  I shouldn't have thought that your cold'd get worse!  I can't imagine a world without Hikaru-chan!!  I'll use any way, even "power" to revive Hikaru-chan!!  I've got "power" for this kind of occasion!!   Hikaru-chan, revive!!     Sure..  I can go back to the time when Hikaru-chan is still alive!      Why can't I?!!   

: Hikaru-chan.. I couldn't do anything for you.. Who are you?!
: That is not important.  You wish to make the girl come back to life?
(Sounds familiar?..)
: Can you?!
: sort of..
: Please!  Make her  come back!!  I'll do anything!!  I'll chew peanuts with my eyes!!  Please!  Make Hikaru-chan come back to her life!
: Alright, then I'll test your will.  Dig a tunnel through that rock before the sixth day of her death.  Then, she'll come back to life..

: Hikaru-chan...  Hikaru-chan..
Uu
(By the way, why did they pop up in the dream, too?..)

: Darling..  darling!!
: I can't live without you!!  Hikaru-chan!  shiny.. Ouch!  
: So how was the nightmare full course?
: ?.. nightmare?.. !!  
: How was my acting?
: Grandpa?.. how can you do that to me!!
: You hoped Hikaru-chan wouldn't be around, didn't you
: We thought you went too much, so we asked grandpa.
: You give up?
: Hikaru-chan..
(Rule #1 for putting on somebody: Don't let them have time to doubt, eh?)


: Where's Hikaru-chan?!  I can't find her anywhere!!
: What's all this rush about?  
: No..er..
: Hikaru was talking to Yuh-kun a while ago..
: !!
: She was talking about her making up her mind to say good bye..  She looked really serious....  They said they'll go perform ceremony for good bye..
: Have to stop her!!
: Kasuga-kun!!  You don't want to say her to split up with her, do you?!
: y..yeah!!!

: I've been waiting for this moment for all these years!  Honesty pays at the end!!
: I actually didn't want to say it..
: Just say it out loud.
: I finally made up my mind to say good bye to my girlhood days.   I have so much trouble making up my mind, but..
: Girlhood days?...   I thought it was about Kasuga..
: WHAT?!  Yuhsaku, just let put them in the river!  Good bye!  My girlhood days!!
: Hikaru-chan!
: Oh you came to say good bye too?!

: To your Kumagorou, the doll?
: But sempai, you said in the exchange diary that I'm little childish!
: That's OK!  That's what I like about you!
: Oh really! Yippy!!  Yuhsaku, go get Kumagorou-chan.
: ?!
: You put them in the river
: But..  
: Hurry!
: Alright, you want me to go, then I'll go!!!
: Hikaru-chan's smile is the best after all..    But I feel like being with Hikaru-chan all day.


end....
