(translator notes: All honorifics like –san, -chan, and nii-san are retained because I prefer seeing the differences in how the characters address each other ^^ )

After the confrontation with 「Shadow」---

Yukari: (The fight has somehow ended, but my body feels heavy... The road at night is dark, too, if I don't watch it while walking...)

Yukari: Ah, wah...!

Andy: Mitsumine-san! That was dangerous. Are you alright?

Yukari: Yes. Thank you very much, Andy-san.

Joe: Oii, are you okay, Yukari-chan?

Terry: You must be really tired. Shall we slow down a little?

Yukari: Ah, no...! I can still do it!

Andy: But...you don't look well. Don't push yourself.

Andy: I'm sorry. I should have paid more attention to your physical condition. I'll carry you on my back until we reach the bottom.

Yukari: Oh no, I don't want to trouble you. Andy-san, you're also tired, right...?

Andy: No, you put a strain on your body because of me. Won't you at least let me return the favor?

Yukari: Andy-san...

Yukari: Then...I'll accept your kind offer.

Andy: Alright. ---Come on.

Yukari: (Ah.....Andy-san's back is warm...)

Andy: Hold on tight. Let's go.

Andy: ....Oops.

Andy: Ah, sorry. I staggered a bit. Once more...

Joe: Hey, Andy. Your face also doesn't look that good.

Terry: Joe and I can also do the piggyback ride, ya know?

Joe: Ou! If anything, we can take turns doing the piggyback?

Andy: ....No, you don't have to do that.

Andy: Thanks, Joe, Nii-san. But it's just a bit more until the bottom. I'll just rest for a bit and go. Are you alright with that, Mitsumine-san?

Yukari: Yes, I'm fine with it.

Terry: ....I see. Then, Joe and I will go ahead, 'kay?

Joe: Don't push yourself too hard!

Yukari: ....Terry-san and Joe-san really cherish you. Somehow, I'm a little envious.

Andy: That's true...But that kind of affection is occasionally embarrassing...

Andy: I do think...that I met good friends.

--------------------------------------------

STORY 2

Yukari: Then, I'll sit next to you, Andy-san.

Andy: Alright.

Yukari: ............

Andy: .............

Yukari: (It's strange... We are in this dark and quiet mountain, yet I feel relieved...)

Yukari: (Is it because I'm beside Andy-san...?)

Andy: ..............

Yukari: (Ah, Andy-san looks really sleepy...)

Yukari: ...Do you want to lie down for a bit?

Andy: Ah, no... I don't need to lie down for something like this. Also--

Andy: I get to spend time with you, so I don't want to waste it....

Andy: Once we get back to Daimon Dojo, I'll be immediately separated from you, right?

Andy: That's why...at least for now, I want to keep my eyes open and savor this happiness.

Yukari: Andy-san...

Yukari: (That's right... Once this is over, Andy-san and the others will leave.)

------------------------------------------------

[CHOICE 1]

-- Tell him that you're also lonely.

Yukari: I am...also very lonely.

Andy: Mitsumine-san....

Yukari: Whenever we enjoy ourselves, I feel like it will continue forever, but...that's not the case, right?

Andy: ...That's true.

Andy: That is why... I want to treasure every single moment. And that is also why I can't just sleep here.

Yukari: (Every moment, huh...)

[CHOICE 2]

-- Stop him.

Yukari: Can you just... not leave?

Andy: Eh...

Yukari: J-just kidding. Sorry. Please ignore that.

Andy: Mitsumine-san...

------------------------------------

Yukari: Ah...Andy-san! Please look at the sky for a bit.

Andy: Up...?

Andy: Ah, what a beautiful starry sky. I didn't even notice it...

Yukari: When you connect that star with that one over there, doesn't it look like Joe-san's hairstyle?

Andy: Haha, true, it does look like his hair.

Andy: Then...those stars look like Nii-san's cap. I feel it's similar to the shape of the cap's brim.

Yukari: It does! Ah, those stars kind of look like Andy-san's gauntlet.

Andy: My gauntlet? ....Ah, I see. When you mentioned it, I kind of see it.

Yukari: ........Andy-san. I was just thinking...

Andy: Hm? What is it?

Yukari: I... seeing Andy-san's smiling face makes me happy.

-------------------------------

STORY 3

Andy: My smiling face...?

Yukari: I know that once we get back, we'll be away from each other for a while. But...

Yukari: The memories that we collected until now will not fade away...is what I think.

Yukari: Even if you go overseas, it's not like it's impossible to meet each other...

Yukari: If we become lonely, looking at the stars like this will bring back various memories.

Andy: ...............

Yukari: I have received a lot of memories from you.

Yukari: But if I were to reminisce, I'd rather remember you smiling energetically than being tired and forcing a smile. That is why, I want you to rest and not overwork yourself. That is what I think....

Andy: Mitsumine-san....

Andy: You are...really unparalleled.

Andy: Then, can you lend me your shoulder...just for a little while.

Yukari: Sure, Andy-san.

Andy: Thank you. Your kindness has always saved me...

-------------------------------------------

[CHOICE 1]

- You're exaggerating.

Yukari: That's an exaggerating, it's not like I've done anything.

Andy: It is not an exaggeration. You have truly become my support.

[CHOICE 2]

-- I feel the same towards you.

Yukari: The feeling is mutual. Andy-san, you have saved me many times, too.

Andy: Me? I see...Then, I guess we resemble each other, huh.

-------------------------------------------

Andy: Ah, it's incredible... My heart feels peaceful when I'm with you...

Yukari: Yes, I feel the same way.

Yukari: (Ah, was that a shooting star just now?)

Yukari: Andy-san, look---

Andy: Zzz.... Zzz....

Yukari: (He's already asleep. He did push himself too hard.)

Yukari: ...You did well, Andy-san. Please take your time and rest.

---------------------------------

SPECIAL EPISODE: Moon Viewing ~Andy Bogard~

Yukari: Andy-san, the water is boiling.

Andy: Alright...can you wait a little? I haven't made this perfectly round yet.

Yukari: (Today, I'm making moon-viewing dumplings with Andy-san and we're planning to go moon viewing together but---)

Andy: Hmm.... it is quite hard to make a perfect sphere with my hands. Looking at the ones I molded a while ago, they seem crooked.

Andy: Ah, but the more time it takes, the more crooked they might become before cooking.

Yukari: (Andy-san's fastidiousness is bursting out...!)

Andy: You are quite skillfull, having made such perfect looking dumplings.

Andy: Would you let me have a good look at it?

Yukari: .......!

Yukari: (Andy-san's hand is over mine...)

Andy: ...! Ah...pardon me. The dumpling on your hand is so pretty, so I just...

Yukari: No, it's okay! Alright, I'll make another one so please watch closely, okay?

---

Yukari: Let's sit on the grass over here. ...That is a very round and beautiful moon.

Andy: Truly. It looks very similar to the dumplings.

Yukari: It's just your fixation on round things.

Andy: Once I noticed it, I can't make it round no matter what. It took longer than we expected.

Yukari: But because of that, we're able to make such pretty and round dumplings.

Andy: Right. If you look at the dumplings side-by-side with the moon, they look very similar... it's like we snatched away the moon from the sky.

Yukari: Haha. It's like two moons. But...the moon is beautiful because it is the only one in the sky.

Andy: Yeah, I know the feeling. Because it floats alone in the vast sky, it looks beautiful.

Andy: It's a common expression, but it's nice that even though you're far away, you're looking at the same moon.

Andy: Even if we spend time far away from each other, if we look up at the same moon, we'll be able to "talk" with each other.

Yukari: Yes, I feel that if I look at the moon, I'll be able to feel your presence.

Andy: Yeah. Of course...I prefer that I spend my time beside you as much as possible.

Yukari: Andy-san...

Andy: Then, shall we eat these dumplings while we look at the moon's beauty? Enjoying the moon's view while beside you, I want to relish this moment.
