Heisuke Toudou: "Maaan, it's boiling today… And this kendo hall's like a sauna… Phew... I just wanna dunk my head in the water. I miss the pool already..."
Isami Kondou: "Hahaha, you look properly exhausted, Toudou-kun."
Heisuke Toudou: "Oh, Kondou-sensei!"
Isami Kondou: "I heard from Toshi. It seems that everyone went to the pool the other day. Enjoying one's youth is a wonderful thing. How was it? Did you have fun?"
Heisuke Toudou: "Yeah! Everyone had a blast, and we played a cool game, and it was awesome! It would've been great if you’d come, too!"
Isami Kondou: "The thing is, I don't have much free time. But do invite me if the opportunity arises again. Ahh, speaking of which, I also heard you were with Yukimura-kun at the time. It seems that she feels much more accustomed to our school, since hanging out with everyone at the pool. I'm very pleased. I'm sure it's because of you that she's been able to fit in so well, Toudou-kun."
Heisuke Toudou: "Heheh, that makes me happy to hear. But whether I'm here or not, Chizuru's a good person. It's more like she's handling things great by herself."
Isami Kondou: "No, don’t sell yourself short. She's only here in the first place because of you, right? The fact that you're childhood friends has a lot of influence on you both. I'm blessed to have Toshi as one, so I know."
Heisuke Toudou: "You think so...?"
Isami Kondou: "Uh-huh. I know so! It'll be some time before you face any major hurdles in life… But a childhood friend is someone important that you should protect from here on out."
Heisuke Toudou: "I get you now! ...Well, I say that, but I still got loads of 'hurdles'...or should I say 'rivals' to beat... Haah..."
