淳平(じゅんぺい):
「…お前(まえ)ら昼間(ひるま)っから　（カギかけるよなー）」
“You guys, in the middle of the day… (At least lock the door!)”
結心(ゆうしん):
「ち　ちかう　誤解(ごかい)だ！！（そい寝(ね)だから！！）」
“N—No! You’ve got it wrong!! (We were just lying down together!)”
ひより:
「見(み)られた… 見(み)られた…っ」
“We were seen… We were seen…!”

誤解(ごかい) implies that Junpei has incorrectly interpreted the situation.
