Cast:

March, 2012
"I feel like I have gone off my game," Mucardia says.
"You seem to be playing well to me."
Mucardia is playing a practice tennis match against Kurusu Shuuhei.
"I don't mean tennis. I only have one girlfriend right now."
"The problem here is that you think that's a problem! Most people never date more than one person at a time."
"I know that, Shuuhei. Don't be such an Orange."
Shuuhei ignores the insult. "Perhaps for you, your current girlfriend is the one."
"There was never meant to be 'the one' for me. I have always been too beautiful and charming to be bound by such a concept. And yet, when I am with Michiko, I do not even think of other women! It is unnatural!"
"So, you call her Michiko... No pet name? Not Darling or Princess, but her actual name?"
"What of it?"
"Can you actually name any of your ex-girlfriends, Kyousuke? Did you ever bother to learn there names?"
"A few of them. What does this have to do with my affliction?"
"It's not a disease, you manchild! It's called maturity! You're finally learning to fall in love like a real man!"
Shuuhei smashes the ball over the net, but Mucardia hesitates and misses the return.
"Love, huh?"
