Hello! It’s Chiaki Morisawa, the ever burning passionate heart! Nice to meet you!

Eh, I scared you? Don’t worry! I’m not some kind of monster!

More like your strong, reliable, and respectable classmate! All the kouhai think I’m a good guy!

Probably, I think! That’s what I believe! As long as you believe, bonds will form in our hearts!

Anyway, isn’t this Akehoshi’s classroom?

Yeah, Subaru Akehoshi! From the Basketball Club! And I’m the captain of the Basketball Club!

You get it now, right? You get who I am now!

Yesyesyes that’s a good kid. Hug…!

Oh right you’re a girl!

Then I can’t just hug you whenever, hahaha. I just have this habit of hugging people.

My bad, I’m really sorry if I scared you! But, I believe!

If you approach others with all you’ve got, it’ll resolve any misunderstanding - and bonds will be forged!

So that guy Akehoshi goes to class and eats lunch right here……

I feel it, I can truly feel him! His lingering scent and aura, I can feel all of him!

Haha, now Akehoshi and I have become one…..

What the, why are you looking at me like I’m a pervert? Is this another misunderstanding?

Relax! I’m not a pervert!

As I was saying!

Actually, that guy forgot something in the gym, so I came to return it!

So, I put it on his desk. Say hi to him for me too, alright?

Yep, that settles it!

It is nostalgic here, though. The second year classroom…

Chiaki

The early days of stretching past your greatest limits, burning to the brim with innocent passion! My youth!

Another difficult sentence… just imagine him suddenly speaking in an overly dramatic way (and he continues doing this) to sound older than he is

</aside>

Do you hear me, second-year me? I’ve already become such an amazing guy!

I’ve become a reliable senior who’s especially good at **returning the lost items his juniors leave behind!

The words here are a bit more nuanced than senpai and kouhai because it emphasizes a brotherhood relationship which I find hard to translate to English in a natural way, or sounds too much like he’s a gang boss lol

</aside>

Hahaha! This isn’t the time to get hyped. I shouldn’t stay here too long. I will now take my leave!

Well then, let’s see me off with some fanfare!

We must part ways now, girl I don’t even know the name of! For us to meet here was fate! Please remember! Remember me!
