Mahara: Well, -------------------------------------(141)------------------------------------ Mahara: If you could say "that" more gently... (*1) I think it would be OK Don't lose that... (*2) (*1 This doesn't translate at all well - what Siva said before was "Anata no koto suki dakara..." ("Because [...] loves you"). He meant Hoyer, but the same words in a lighter tone could just as easily have meant /Siva/ loved her... :) (*2 Ambiguous, but probably re the above, "Don't lose the ability to say 'I love you' gently" ) -------------------------------------(142)------------------------------------ Siva: There was no reason for you to lose it, right? You've just forgotten Mahara: I wonder... Can I remember?

Her help is alright, that was decided already Max: Exercise caution -------------------------------------(149)------------------------------------ Max: This doesn't make me entirely comfortable... -------------------------------------(150)------------------------------------ Person: For your own sake, don't do anything stupid -------------------------------------(151)------------------------------------ Enika: Siva! Not Enika: Siva-san Siva: You're... er, Pasha: Enika's successor Pasha Please try to remember Siva: What's up with Mobard? -------------------------------------(152)------------------------------------ Pasha: Hattori-san passed the first round without difficulty Siva: Don't I deserve "Midori-san" ?

Siva: Not worth complaining by phone though, was it? -------------------------------------(162)------------------------------------ Mahara: Complaining by phone? Eh? Siva: Then... what was that? Pasha: Si... Siva-san Quickly, put your Protectors on! Siva: Don't need them... Mahara: "Don't need"... Hey! Jin: Let him do as he likes -------------------------------------(163)------------------------------------ Siva: You don't have reason to be here, do you?
