Erika... you're cold. Please just come over here already.

E-Excuse me.

Erika... I'm always thankful for you.

Although I leave Kuromorimine's most important responsibilities up to you, I've rarely concerned myself with your well-being, and for that I'm sorry.

But I trust you more than anyone else in Kuromorimine.

I want you to become Miho's core support even after I retire.

Erika?

*PANT* *PANT*

...you look rather tired, huh?

It was another hard day out there today.

You should get a good night's rest.

Hey look, it's the Nishizumi-style aces.

They all have such relaxed faces.

With just those three we'll have an easy victory this year as well.

They really are dependable, huh?
