Good luck!

Natsume-senpai, don't ignore me.

Ah... I thought I heard an annoying little gnat buzzing.
Ahaha. Someone's grumpy.
Middle School Student A
Wait, was that about us? That's so mean!
Middle School Student B

Will you two just give it a rest already...?
Uh-oh.
Twenty seconds.
Middle School Student B

That's how long you two just wasted.
I could've done one set of finger exercises in that time.

Maybe ordinary people like you wouldn't understand,
but time is limited. And it's precious.
but time is limited. And it's precious.
Don't make me waste it on something so pointless.
Middle School Student A
Excuse me!?
Come on, Nagi. We're losing practice time.
Middle School Student B
W-Wait, Kotohira-senpai—
Sorry. See you around.
Natsume-senpai... wait up.
You didn't have to go that far.

If you've got a problem with it, I'll ignore you next time.

Don't let a bunch of girls fawning over you go to your head.

Besides, you're just giving people more to gossip about, Natsume-senpai.

Hmph. Let them say whatever they want.
It's not like I care whether that lot likes me.
All I need is the approval of people who know what they're looking at.

Is that how it works?
That's how it works. Someone who knows what they're looking at won't suck up or make themselves small.
They've got to have a bit of nerve.

Ahaha. You're making me blush.
What...?! Don't get ahead of yourself.
You're just cheeky, that's all.

Am I, though?
I do respect you, you know.

That's exactly what I'm talking about!
You don't take me seriously at all, do you?!

Ahaha. As if.
That's what I'm sayinggg!
