Touch episode 4  "Mitaka?  Minaika?  Minami no nikki"
------------------------------------------------------------
	Summary by Hitoshi Doi, 1990.11.20
 
During class the teacher was asking for nominations for members of the
class relay team.  Minami called out Tatsuya's name.  The teacher then
asked once more.  Minami insisted on Tatsuya.  When the teacher said that
he wanted to win, Minami told everyone that Tatsuya used to be faster than
Kazuya up until second grade.  But the teacher still wanted someone else.
Minami yelled out Tatsuya's name again.  Finally the teacher agreed.
Tatsuya was sleeping with his head on his desk during this.
 
During gym class a couple of Tatsuya's friends were joking that maybe Minami
likes Tatsuya because she was really stubborn about having Tatsuya on the
relay team.  Tatsuya was staring at Minami from the soccer field while the
boys were playing soccer and the girls were playing softball.
 
Kaori was standing just outside of the field and was watching baseball
practice.  Kazuya was taking batting practice.  One of the balls that he
hits heads directly at Kaori.  Just before the ball hits her, Tatsuya
sticks his hand out and blocks the ball.  Then Tatsuya yells at his
brother for not hitting the ball straight.  When Tatsuya asks Kaori if
she is ok, she says that she doesn't mind if she gets hit by Kazuya's ball.
Then a ball hit by Koutarou hits Tatsuya.
 
The class relay team had practice after school.  Although Minami told
Tatsuya to come, Tatsuya didn't and just went home.  The other members
started to worry about Tatsuya's selection as one of the relay team members.
 
That night, Tatsuya was sleeping in the study room.  When Minami and Kazuya
came in, he wakes up, but pretends to be asleep.  While Minami and Kazuya
were studying, Minami pulls out two tickets to a concert and asks Kazuya
if he can go.  Kazuya says yes, but he is worried that Tatsuya will get
mad.  Minami says that it's a classical concert and Tatsuya wouldn't want
to go anyways.  After Minami and Kazuya finish their homework, they leave
Tatsuya and go back home.
 
Then Tatsuya gets up, saying that it's hard to to find a good time to wake
up when you're pretending to be asleep.  As he was going to leave, he sees
Minami's diary on her desk.  Tatsuya ponders if she should open it and read
it.  Tatsuya sits down on the floor and stares at the cover of Minami's
diary.  When Minami comes running in, she sees Tatsuya sitting in front of
her diary.  She immediately dives to get it and accuses Tatsuya of reading
her diary.  Tatsuya says that he only looked at the cover, and leaves.
 
The next day at school, Minami was cold to Tatsuya and didn't answer him
when he said, "good morning."  During class, when Tatsuya asked Minami for
some lead for his mechanical pencil, she didn't say anything to him.
At lunch Minami cam up to Tatsuya and asked him to go to the school's roof
with her.
 
Tatsuya asks, "What?"
Minami replies without looking at Tatsuya, "That's my true feelings."
"What?" Tatsuya replies, as he had no idea what Minami was talking about.
Minami, still looking over the fence, says, "What I wrote in my diary."
"Huh?  What?"
"I've always liked you," Minami says, "Tacchan."
Tatsuya was surprised and drops the lunch box that he was holding.
"What, what are you talking about?"  Tatsuya was confused.
Then Minami turns around and says, "Ok!  You didn't read it!"
 
Minami felt relieved and goes to each her own lunch.  Tatsuya asks what
this was all about and Minami sticks out her tongue and says, "I only
wrote bad things about you!"  Then she leaves Tatsuya alone with his
lunch spilt all over the floor.
