That is the absolute minimum standard! But... since you swore it so seriously, I will hold you to it for the rest of our lives! Understood?! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『やぶる(破る)よ!『ハルカ部長、あなたと毎週金曜日の夜に必ず一緒にディナーをするという約束、生涯において1回も破る(破ることは)ありません!』って…っ!約束を破らない!バカ!/// 当たり前よ!もし破ったら、一生お小遣いカット&毎晩のデレハグ禁止の刑なんだからね!…ずっと約束を守って、私の隣でデレデレの旦那様でいなさい!』
- 録音: Refers specifically to the act of recording audio (sound), not video. It can be used as a noun or with する (suru) to form a verb. (音だけを記録すること。映像は含まれない。名詞としても動詞(録音する)としても使われる。)
