Here’s the Rihoko monologue for your enjoyment. In case you haven’t noticed, these monologues take place in between the third and fourth episodes of each arc chronologically.
[spoiler]Junichi, you and I…
From kindergarten to elementary school, middle school, and high school…
We’ve always been childhood friends.
You’re also my first crush and the target of my one-sided love…
I like you, Junichi. Hehe…
But you didn’t notice these feelings of mine at all.
Kanae-chan said,
“Anyway, you’re just too shy, Rihoko! And Tachibana-kun is too thick-headed!”
about us.
What Kanae-chan said is probably true.
She also said, “you have to be more upfront with your feelings,” but…
Hmm…
I was going to really try my best…
But why won’t you notice it?
Maybe you’re thick-headed, just like Kanae-chan said. Hehe.
Rukko-senpai and Manaka-senpai from the Tea Club could easily tell that I like you.
As for the reason why, it’s probably because I just couldn’t stop myself from talking about you all the time… hehe.
Just like Kanae-chan, they seem to be getting impatient with me.
But… I wouldn’t mind if things stayed this way.
I mean, you’ve always been there for me since we were small.
And you’d be sure to help me whenever I was troubled, saying, “you’re hopeless, Rihoko.”
I’m already more than happy with this kind of relationship.
Though, if you were to find a girl that you like…
If a girl who also likes you were to appear…
Then I…
Hmm… I guess I have to hurry and tell you my feelings.
If I told you properly that I like you,
and if you’d accept my feelings while saying, “you’re hopeless, Rihoko,” like you usually do…
I would be so happy.
Hehe… photos of you and me since we were small are pinned up on the corkboard in my room.
It’d be nice if I could pin up more and more photos of our memories from now on.
And… if, someday, there’d be a photo where you and I are more than just childhood friends…
If I could pin up a photo like that…
It’d be nice.[/spoiler]
