Do you have any idea how anxious and worried I get when you don't contact me?! ...っ, I-I mean... I was worried about the work schedule!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『あんた、私への返信（連絡）が遅すぎるわよ！連絡をくれない間、私がどれだけヤキモキして心配したか…っ、って、べ、別にあんた自身の心配じゃなくて、業務の連絡網の心配よ！バカ！』

"Every single action index in my heart is 100% related and coupled with my single-minded love for you, Haruka-san!" ...っ! Everything related! B-Baka! What is with that tightly-coupled love system architecture! But... if our destinies are strongly related and bound forever, never decouple that link! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『かんれん（関連）よ！『ハルカ部長、僕のハートのすべての行動インデックス、あなたへの一途な愛に100%関連（連動）しています！』って…っ！全てが関連！バカ！/// 何その密結合な愛のシステムアーキテクチャ！…でも、あんたと私の運命が一生強く関連して結ばれているなら、その結合、永久に外さないでよね！』
