I will keep my jealousy radar active forever! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『さがる（下がる）よ！『ハルカ部長の「お熱（デレ度）」が下がらないように、毎日一生全力で僕の愛の燃料を注ぎ続けます！』って…っ！お熱が下がらない！バカ！/// 私があんたに年中無休でデレてるとでも言いたいの？！…でも、下がらないようにあんたの大きな手で私の小さな手をギューッと握って温め続けなさい！』. On the other hand, 下げる (さげる (sageru)) maps to "to hang; to lower; to turn down (volume); to step back; to clear (plates)" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to physically lowering objects, turning down volumes, lowering prices, stepping back, or clearing plates.
