Lesson 157 Don’t forget about our promise, OK?
入試当日の朝です。日課のジョギングから翔が戻ってきてリビングにやってきます。
Don’t forget about our promise, OK?
Sho: I’m home.
Yoko: Good morning, Sho.
Naoki: Morning, Sho. Are you ready?
Sho: I guess I am. I did all I could. I just have to believe in myself now. Grandma, I’ll pass this exam! Don’t forget about our promise, OK?
Yoko: Don’t worry, I won’t. Hurry up and change clothes. You’ll catch a cold.
Sho: OK!
Yoko: Sho, I made plenty of the special soup, so take some with you for lunch. If you get too nervous to eat, you can still have the soup.
Sho: Thanks, Grandma!
Naoki: Yoko, what did Sho mean by “our promise”?
Yoko: A promise to see Mari’s art exhibition.
Naoki: Great, count me in! I’ll take time off from work.
僕たちの約束を忘れないでね、きっとだよ？
