Student A: Isn't that Mayura Seno?
Student B: Is it? Wasn't she missing for quite some time?
Student A: Whatever, is she really back?
Student B: She looks fine!

Girl #1: Rumours has it that she met with an accident, looks like it's not true!
Girl #2: She must be fooling around with a guy outside?

[Mayura turned around and stared at the two girls]

Girl #1: Wh... What?
Girl #2: Was... was she like that before?
Alice: .....

[Flashback] Mayura: "I will never give up Kyou to you."
Alice: .....
Mayura: So it doesn't matter what you think. Forget about him!

Alice: I... I will confess my feelings to Senpai!
Alice: Sorry, but I've decided! I won't fool myself anymore!
Alice: Even if it's a one-sided affair, I will still continue to like Senpai!

Mayura: Hmph. You can try.
Mayura: It seems like we are both destined to be enemies.
Mayura: Huff! If that's the case, I won't give in.
Dad: My stomach...
Dad: I'm hungry... Too hungry so I woke up...
Alice & Mayura: ...

[End of Flashback]

Alice: (Enemy... Sis is different from the Sis I used to know!)
Alice: (During the time she left home, was her heart totally absorbed by darkness?)

Frei: Mm! Eating fruit jam in the morning, it's definitely right!
Frei: Kyou, are you awake?
Frei: [Took a calligraphy brush to tickle Kyou's nose]
Kyou: [slapping away the calligraphy brush] What are you trying to do?
Frei: Ah... So you're awake.
Kyou: This is my mantra for today.
Frei: Do you set mantra everyday to live?

Kyou: I've already set my mind and heart to it...
Frei: Ohh, is that so?
Frei: This is great, you've finally agreed!
Kyou: Huh?
Frei: Since you've already agreed, Alice won't have a reason to refuse!
Kyou: Huh?
Frei: I'm really a genius! This morning I've already sent a letter to notify the Lotsan Priesthood in Northern Europe of this good news!
Kyou: What? Huh? Where? What's the matter?
Frei: I'm saying, I've notify them, that you and Alice have promised to become the new Lotis Master!
Kyou: [gave Frei a punch on the face]
Woman: Kyou! You'll be late if you don't get going
Kyou: Listen to me!! Write back and tell them to ignore the first letter!
Kyou: As long as it's within a few days, you can still return the goods!
Frei: You think you're buying something?

Kyou: Anyway, we'll talk about this later.
Kyou: Because today is the most important day of my life!
Woman: Eh? Is he going for a full body check up?
Frei: (Is it about the break up?)
Girl A: Really. I really got a shock when you went missing, Mayura!
Boy A: But all this time, you really can't remember anything? Memory loss?
Girl B: It's good you're back safe and sound!

Boy B: Hey, Kyou! Your girlfriend's here! You should be happy!
Kyou: Ah, mm.
Kyou: (Seems like no matter what I tell her, she'll be hurt...)
Kyou: (No, I have experience in rejecting girls before...)

[Flashback]

Girl: Kyou, you're really good looking! Be my boyfriend! Good features, really good looking, absolutely gorgeous!
Kyou: Ah? Ah... [After a few compliments, he just accepted]

A few months later...

Girl: Wakamiya you're an idiot! Why couldn't you hold my hand! I hate you! I want to break up with you!
Kyou: Ah? Ah...

[End of Flashback]

Kyou: (Seems like I was never into a real relationship!)
Boy B: You seemed to have a chage of character lately.
Mayura: Kyou.
Mayura: I'm going back to the archery club today. We can go home together again.
Kyou: Ah. [didn't know how to answer]

Kyou: Until then, I have something important to tell you.
Mayura: Is it.
Mayura: I understand.
Kyou: (Sorry, Mayura!!)
Kyou: (Sincerity, sincerity, sincerity!) [taking out his calligraphy set]
Teacher: Wakamiya, it's Maths class now!

Alice: (What is Kyou Senpai doing now...)
Alice: (Sis and Kyou is in the same class, I can't possibly look for him there.)
Girl: Seno, you seem to be sweeping the same spot for twenty minutes...
Alice: (Then... Senpai and I will definitely...)
Alice: (No way!)
Alice: (No, I can't back out like this.)
Alice: (Didn't I made up my mind, to at least tell him my feelings?)

Alice: (Alice, you must be confident this time!)

[Meanwhile at the Archery club]

Teacher: Alright, that's it for today!
Students: Thank you sensei!
Alice: ("Courage", "courage", "courage"...)
Student A: I'm totally famished!
Student B: Let's go to McDonald's!
Girl A: Eh? Alice?
Alice: Ah It must have been tough on you. [bows to seniors]
Girl A: Ah! Are you waiting for your sister?
Girl A: I think you'd better go home, seems like she hasn't seen her boyfriend for ages, they're catching up right now!

Alice: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ HA HA
Nyozeka: Don't back down, don't back down!
Mayura: Kyou, sorry to keep you waiting!!
Kyou: (Sincerity, sincerity, sincerity...)
Mayura: Eh? Why haven't you changed? I thought we were going out for tea.
Kyou: No, let's talk here.
Mayura: Is that so? Alright. After some time, my skills have gone from bad to worse!
Kyou: Sorry!

Kyou: I can't carry on this relationship with you anymore!
Kyou: Let's break up!
Mayura: Kyou...?

Mayura: Why did you say this all of a sudden...
Kyou: I know I don't deserve your forgiveness even if I apologise to you...
Kyou: I know I am really letting you down, but...
Mayura: You don't like me anymore?
Kyou: That's not the case.
Kyou: I've only treated you like a friend!
Mayura: Like? Or dislike?
Kyou: Although I don't dislike, but it's different from being in love.
Mayura: If that's the case, it's okay then.
Mayura: I like you, and I don't want to break up with you.

Mayura: After some time, this feeling will evolved to love.
Alice: Are they done yet? Should I go in?
Kyou: I think... That's probably... impossible. Because I...
Mayura: You like somebody else?
Kyou: .....
Mayura: Oh.. I seee. Mm...
Mayura: I totally understand.

Mayura: {NIRU} (CEASE)
Alice: Wh.. What!? I was rebounded...
Nyozeka: This is...
Nyozeka: "Maram word"!?

Mayura: Kyou...
Mayura: Sorry, I understand.
Mayura: This is all Alice's fault.

Mayura: It's alright, Kyou will always...
Mayura: Belong to me alone.
Alice: No, I can't open it!
Alice: Senpai! Sis!
Nyozeka: Alice, use the "Lotis"! Now's the time for you to understand "Release"!
Nyozeka: It's alright! Concentrate and repeat it!
Alice: .....!!

Alice: {BUIMUKU} (RELEASE)
Nyozeka: It's open!
Alice: Sis...
Alice: Sen... senpai...!?

Alice: Sis, what did you do to Senpai?
Mayura: I just gave him my word that's all.
Mayura: Are you here to confess? Try it if you have the heart to!
Mayura: If you want him to disappear, go ahead!
Alice: (Eh?)
Mayura: Or you should ask that rabbit of yours!
Mayura: Ah ha ha ha ha...
Alice: Sis...?
Nyozeka: Alice! Look at this!

Alice: (A black word!)
Alice: It disappear! What was that?
Nyozeka: That's "MUDORE" (Curse)... it's disppearing into his body!
Nyozeka: A user of "Maram", can write words onto someone else physically.
Nyozeka: Furthermore a high class Mara word like "MUDORE" (Curse), is used specifically on a targeted person.
Nyozeka: This word is "HATE"!
Nyozeka: This is the Lotis opposite of "LOVE", and that means...
Nyozeka: Other than the curser, if he accepts "words" of love from soneone else... this curse will take effect immediately...

Alice: Eh...?
Nyozeka: Alice! If a Lotis user like you confess to Kyou, the "flames of hate" will burn inside Kyou's body.
Nyzoeka: Until... death.
Alice: You're lying.
Alice: But! I've mustered up courage to confess to Senpai!
Nyozeka: Alice, no! You can't do that! I didn't expect Mayura to use such a tactic!

Alice: (Wh... why...)
Kyou: Eh?
Kyou: Seno! Nyozeka's here too!
Alice: .....
Kyou: Eh, where's Mayura?
Kyou: What happened, I was still talking a while ago.
Kyou: How did I faint?
Alice: (Actually, I've been hoping for this moment.)
Kyou: I mentioned about the break up to her. Can she accept it?
Alice: From a long time ago, I... I...

Alice: (Hoping for the day I can confessed to Senpai...)
Alice: (Hoping Senpai will accept my feelings for him...)
Kyou: Seno...
Alice: [with tears in her eyes] (One day...)
Kyou: ---!!

Kyou: Seno!
Kyou: What's wrong with you? Did you come to me for something?
Alice: No... Nothing...
Alice: (I can't say it anymore?)
Kyou: It's impossible you don't have anything to say to me.
Alice: (I can't confess my feelings anymore?)
Kyou: Listen to me, I... finally realised.
Alice: (How can I accept this? What should I do.. What should I exactly do.)
Alice: (I liked him so much, yet I can't tell him about my feelings?)

Kyou: Seno!

[Alice turned around, Kyou saw her crying]

[Kyou kissed Alice on the mouth]

Alice: (Eh...?)
