Rise: A one-piece, of course!
Rise: Make sure you take notice when I wear it, okay?

Rise: You can't find pointy stuff like those at Junes, can you?
Rise: Hmm, does he buy them online?
Rise: Maybe he makes them...?
Suspicious guy: U-uuh...

Rise: And it's true... I'm no longer "Risette"...
Rise: I'm just an ordinary girl.
Rise: *giggle* Which is fine with me!
Rise: I never though I'd be out in public like this.
Rise: I love Inaba, Senpai...
Rise: You see the same faces everyday, rumors spread fast, and there are times when it gets on my last nerve...

Rise: Oh. Is that a reporter?
Rise: Or... a stalker?
> Rise is worried...

Rise: Uh, th-that's alright. We don't know if he's really dangerous or not.
Rise: Let's just wait and see, okay?
Rise: But... thanks for that.
> Rise no longer seems worried.
Rise: Hmm, but still... That guy... Where have I...?
Rise: No way! Inoue-san, is that you!?
Inoue:: Rise-chan!
Rise: Wh-why are you here...?
Rise: I already settled everything with the agency...!
Inoue: I'm here because... Personally, I can't accept that.
Inoue: I've watched over you this entire time as your manager...
Rise: I'm no longer a "personality"!
Rise: My private time doesn't belong to a manager anymore!

Rise: Oh... U-ummm...
Rise: That was Inoue-san. He was... my manager
Rise: I'm his dauther's age, so he treated me like one of the family...
Rise: But... he's a stranger now.
Rise: .....
Rise: Senpai, umm...
Rise: I'm sorry... Lying about marrying you and all...
>"I don't mind."
Rise: Senpai...
Rise: You're so mature.
> Rise smiled a smile of relief.
Rise: You really are a nice guy.
