Shiki: | I see~… So then what? Won’t you give me the full story? |
Producer: | I might as well. I suppose I kind of have to tell you now, don’t I? |
Shiki: | Seems so. You and I are a producer and her Aichuu, after all. Hiding things isn’t good for fostering a trusting relationship between the two of us, now is it? |
Producer: | …You sure can talk, can’t you? |
Shiki: | That’s only because I’m interested in you, Sensei. |
Producer: | I wonder. |
Shiki: | Come now, don’t be so nasty. Tell me who you were thinking about. |
Producer: | …Just like you thought, I was just thinking a bit about a man that I met a while ago. |
Producer: | (Even though I mean him, I’m not technically saying anything untrue…) |
Shiki: | Hmm… So you really were thinking about a man. |
Shiki: | And here I thought you were someone who put her work before boys, Sensei. |
Producer: | Don’t you think you’re making too much of this? |
Shiki: | Hey, Sensei. What kind of guy is he? A better man than me? |
Producer: | And just why do I have to tell you that…? |
Shiki: | I mean, you’re my producer, aren’t you? |
Shiki: | [ | ] I’ll get jealous if you talk about men other than me, you know. I’m listening…
Producer: | It seems you really to want to hog things for yourself. But you realize that you and I don’t have a relationship like the kind you’re talking about, right? |
Shiki: | My, you only ever say such cold things. You haven’t changed at all from when we first met. |
Producer: | ..... |
Shiki: | Say, Sensei. Do you remember the day we first met? |
Shiki: | We ran into each other once before we met at school. |
Producer: | …As if I’d be able to forget. It was quite a baffling meeting. |
Shiki: | So you do remember me? |
Producer: | That’s what I was recalling just now. |
Shiki: | …Really? |
Producer: | I don’t know what reason I’d have to lie about it. Although it might have been better if I’d just told you I was thinking about some other guy. |
Shiki: | No need to tell such terrible lies. Hey, what exactly do you remember about me? Tell me everything. |
