[01:06] Blue
    Really?
[01:08] Blue
    What do you mean "bad"?
[01:09] pink
    During the summer, I'd wear sunglasses.
[01:12] wom
    No way, seriously?!
[01:14] wom
    In high school?!
[01:15] pink
    Yes. And I'd wear really long pants.

    Under your skirt?
[01:17] pink
    Get out my parasol, and then ride my bike.

[01:28] pink
    My school's rules were quite relaxed, though.
[01:31] wom
    Oh, really? Cool!
[01:33] pink
    Like you could dye your
    hair and wear earrings.
[01:35] wom
    What?!
[01:36] wom
    That really is lax!
[01:37] wom
    I'm jealous.

[01:45] wom
    I didn't expect that.
[01:46] tan
    That's how it was for me.
[01:47] tan

[02:36] blue
    Were any of you already doing this?

[02:40] txt
    Kobayashi Yuzuna-san
    3rd year student
    °at the time of filming
[02:43] Green
    but then it was really fun.

[02:49] Green
    Before I joined this school, I had
    a chance to use a pottery wheel
[02:49] txt
    Kuroda Ichiha-san
    2nd year student
    °at the time of filming

    exactly the way that I wanted to.
[03:17] all
    Right, I get that!
[03:19] tan
