Yuki: Since I woke up a bit early today, I'll try going to class by a different route than usual.
Yuki: Huh? Arata-san?
Yuki: What is he doing kneeling in that corner?
Yuki: Wait, there's a sandbox under the eaves. But why...
Yuki: A~ra~ta-san.
Arata: Morning, Ace-kun.
Yuki: Good morning. What are you doing? With a scoop and plastic bag...
Yuki: Are you taking sand?
Arata: Wrong. I'm cleaning.
Yuki: You're cleaning a sandbox?
Arata: It's not a sandbox. This is the litter box.
Yuki: Litter box?
Arata: Right, of all the school cats.
Yuki: I see, so there's a litter box here.
Yuki: But, why are you cleaning it, Arata-san?
Yuki: This sort of chore seems like it would be handed around to the student council.
Arata: Well, it's because Arata made this litter box here.
Yuki: You did?
Arata: That's right. The one over there is Maro's litter box.
Yuki: So there's one for Maro too.
Yuki: But why did you make a litter box?
Yuki: I understand Maro's, but...
Arata: Mm. I guess because there's a lot of cats.
Yuki: Huh...
Arata: When I first got here, I was surprised there were a lot of cats.
Arata: At first I wondered whose pets they were, but it seemed they weren't.
Yuki: That's right. It seems Kuya-san also feeds the cats.
Yuki: Do you feed them too?
Arata: I don't. There's a lot of people who feed them.
Yuki: Well, I think they have enough food.
Arata: Yeah, that's no worry.
Arata: Well, they're fine with food, but I wondered what they did about the bathroom.
Arata: When I looked around, everyone used that clump of bushes as the bathroom.
Arata: And then I thought, why don't I try making one where people can't see it?
Yuki: And so you made it.
Arata: Yeah.
Arata: And then all the cats started using it.
Arata: Every day after morning practice and stuff, I take a little time and clean it.
Yuki: That's a good idea. I'm sure the cats are happy to have a clean litter box.
Arata: Yeah. Although maybe nobody minds that there's some slightly stinky bushes.
Arata: I minded that a bit.
Yuki: You like cleanliness, don't you?
Arata: Mm. There's that too, but I just felt like it.
Arata: A long time ago, a stray cat family settled down near my house.
Arata: And at first everyone gave them food and was affectionate to them.
Arata: But soon the number of cats increased, and they started to do their business all around there.
Arata: Everyone chased them away, saying it's dirty, it's annoying.
Yuki: Oh no...
Arata: I thought I didn't want that to happen to the school cats here.
Arata: But it was possible.
Arata: So, I wanted to do what I could so that wouldn't happen.
Yuki: I see. That's important.
Arata: First of all, giving them food up until now, it's like saying 'you can stay here.'
Arata: So I think it's cruel to later suddenly take away their home.
Yuki: Right...
Arata: That's why I do it.
Arata: It's not something that someone asked of me. It's just for my own satisfaction.
Yuki: I see...

Arata: Oh, but...
Yuki: What is it?
Arata: If Arata wasn't here anymore.
Arata: Can I ask you to do it for me then?
Yuki: Of course!
Arata: Thank you.
Arata: Then, one piece of advice.
Yuki: Is there something I need to know?
Arata: Yeah. If you do it in your uniform, you should have a change of shirt, maybe.
Arata: Since the cuffs of those uniforms get dirty easily.
Yuki: It's because they're so big, these sleeves.
Arata: Right, right.
Arata: Oh. When Arata gets dirty, he changes into a clean jacket.
Yuki: Not a uniform?
Arata: Jacket.
Yuki: I see...
(Yuki: Now that he's mentioned it, I haven't seen Arata-san in a uniform.)
(Yuki: I kind of want to see, maybe.)
Wakasama: Meow.
Arata: Wakasama, welcome back.
Wakasama: Meow.
Yuki: Wakasama.
(Yuki: So this cat is the leader of the school cats that Arata-san mentioned before.)
Yuki: Arata-san is cleaning your litter box.
Wakasama: Meow.
Arata: He knows, he says.
Arata: Come on, Ace-kun, let's go.
Yuki: Huh?
Arata: Come on, Wakasama, I've fixed it all up so go ahead, go ahead.
Wakasama: Meow.
Arata: Come on, come on, let's go, let's go, so we don't get in his way.
Yuki: Right.
Yuki: Wakasama, take your time.

(courtyard)
Arata: Oh my my my my. It's already so late.
Arata: I have to throw this away, so I'm going.
Yuki: Right. I'm going to class too.
Arata: Yeah, see you later.

Yuki: This flyer is nice, isn't it? Me and Kuya-san and Takato-san worked really hard last night making it.
Tomo: Right, right.

Yuki: This flyer is nice, isn't it? Sonoda-san and I made them yesterday.
Tomo: Together... These were mostly made by Sonoda-san, weren't they?
Yuki: Ahaha. You could tell?

Yuki: I made this flyer yesterday.
Tomo: Hmm, how should I put this... I recognize your effort.
Yuki: What's that supposed to mean?
