Producer: | I'm really glad I could buy reference material. |
Producer: | (Oh my? I can't see Lucas-kun. I wonder where he went...?) |
Producer: | (He's over there. What is he looking at? ... Oh.) |
Producer: | You really do love the books of Tiger Kids-sensei. Are you going to buy this book too? |
Lucas: | No. I already have this book at home. I was just interested in it because I have it written in French. |
Producer: | So the story is not any different from the one you have, Lucas-kun? |
Lucas: | Well, it's the same. But it still feels different reading it in French or Japanese. |
Producer: | You mean, because the nuances of the languages are different? |
Lucas: | Maybe. But no matter the language, the warm worldview of the characters in the book stays the same. |
Lucas: | The gentle nature of the story remains unchanged. |
Lucas: | (The worldview of the author... Torahiko's worldview.) |
Producer: | Its "kind" nature, huh. That sounds just like you, Lucas-kun. |
Lucas: | Me? |
Producer: | Yes. You always have a cool facade, but deep inside you're kind and warm. |
Lucas: | (I'm the same as the story from the book--) |
Lucas: | ... That's the highest praise I could receive. Merci. |

Lucas: | Have we finished shopping already? |
Producer: | Yes. I bought a lot at the shop we just went too. There's a lot of people here today, so let's go home. |
Producer: | I'm really sorry. Lucas-kun. Isn't it difficult to walk with so many bags? |
Lucas: | It's no problem for me. It just seems like I'm going to lose sight of you. |
Lucas: | Here, take my hand. It'd be troublesome if we get separated, right? |
Producer: | Huh? |
*squeeze* | |
Producer: | T- Thank you. But we shouldn't get caught. It'll cause a misunderstanding if anyone sees. |
Lucas: | We won't get noticed. There's no need to worry about it, we'll be alright. |
Producer: | You really are kind, Lucas-kun. |
Lucas: | I'm happy to be called gentle... I just joined hands with you because I don't want to lose you. |
Producer: | Huh? Then-- |
Lucas: | That I don't want you to leave me, that I want to avoid you being taken by someone else... I might desire to monopolize you. |
Lucas: | So this is for myself. |
Producer: | (A- After having been told something so seriously, I really don't know what I should answer...) |
Lucas: | And I've been thinking for this entire time, am I just selfish and greedy? |
Lucas: | ... And even if I'm like that, do you still want to stay near me? |
