Ryo: "When the battle ended, we returned to the peaceful life. Seiji went back to Sendai, Shuu to Yokohama, Touma to Oosaka, and Shin to Yamaguchi. Everyone went back to his home town. Nasty looked lonely when she gave us the send-off. She said that she really liked watching us being together. As for me, I am glad that we don't need to fight anymore, but to tell the truth, I feel bored after we separated. It's also because that Dad has gone to another photograph-trip even when his only son finally came back safely. Well, it's OK for me since Dad really likes his job...But, I wonder what the others are doing right now."

(sound of practicing Kendo)
Seiji:"(sighed) Really, My heart seem to be purified after I wipe a bamboo-sword. It gives another effect that is different from the battle in the past. Sword, is such a good thing."

(sound of thunder)
Touma:"There is so much dust here. Oh, Isn't this the 'Utsubomonogatari' (Literally, "the story of a moray", name of a Japanese Classic)? Great! When was this dated? About the 10th century, I believe. I feel so excited! Nasti's storage house is such a treasure box to me. Aah, this is 'Genjiemaki'(Literally, "the picture roll of Genji", the picture version of Genji-monogatari (the story of Genji), the famous Japanese Classic)".

(Noise in restaurant)
Shuu:"Thank you for waiting! Stir-fry of Shanhai crab with oyster sauce, and Hisui shoumai ('Hisui' - Jade, this is a name of food which is in the color green, 'shoumai' - a food which is similar to dumpling)! Well, you want to place another order? Of course! everything here is delicious! Two sausage? Right away! MOTHER!! THE PITCHER HERE HAS RAN OUT OF WATER, PLEASE REFILL IT!! AND I'M GOING TO STAY OVER IN MY FRIEND'S HOUSE AT YAMANASHI PROVINCE THIS WEEKEND, AND I WANT TO BORROW THE WOK HERE!!....ALSO, CAN I HAVE THIS CAN OF EAR SHELLS?"

Shin:"It's quiet. It's really like a dream that I can return to such a peaceful life. Now I can take my time to study...By the way, I wonder if the others really study hard?"
(telephone rings)
Shin:"Yes, moshi moshi ('moshi moshi = hello in Japanese)'"
Seiji:"Moshi moshi. Is this the house of Mouri? My name is Date. Is Mr. Shin at home?"(very formal)
Shin:"I'm the only person who lives in this apartment. I told you last time that you don't need to speak so stupidly formal everytime you call, Seiji!! By the way, aren't you coming to Tokyo? You plan to go to a university that is in Tokyo, don't you?"
Seiji:"I have Dojo here(Sendai). I want to stay here while practicing my sword. And just why did you move to Tokyo?"
Shin:"If I have to go to a college, I want to go to a good one. And fortunately I found a good apartment here as well."
Seiji:"I would like to use your place for our next gathering."
Shin:"That'd be all right. You can come visiting anytime. I would like to have a gathering with everyone in Holidays. And,I remembered that Shuu talked about that he is into Karaoke very much recently."
Seiji:"We will have Karaoke, for our next gathering?"
Shin:"Sounds nice. I'll prepare some new discs [of songs] for it from now on."
Seiji:"Then...Shin, take care of your own health since you are living alone by yourself."
Shin:"You too, take care."
Seiji:"Then, good bye."
Shin:"See you."
(telephone rings again)
Shin:"...By the way, tomorrow is Sunday. I have a bad feeling..."
(pick up the phone)
Shin:"Yes, This is Mouri."
Touma:"Oh, Shin! It's me, me! I'm in Nasti's place right now, and again, I am late for the last Shinkansen (Shinkansen='bullet train') [to go back]. I'm going over to your place right now. Can I stay over there?"
Shin:"(...I'm troubled by Seiji's over-courtesy, but this is...!)
Touma! You were searching the Classics at Nasti's house again, weren't you?"
Touma:"Right! And I fall into my usual pattern that I was too absorbed in it to remember the time to go back! You are not telling me to stay in Nasti's place when she lives alone by herself, aren't you? So..."
Shin:"Don't you plan all this from the beginning so that you stay 'till this hour?"
Touma:"Don't be so rigid! Then, yoroshiku!"
(hang up the phone)
Shin:"A genius acts like THIS way so that...Nasty must feel troubled as well that Touma comes every weekend without notifying. Why doesn't Touma move to Tokyo since even in Oosaka, he lives virtually by himself anyway?"
