Youta: Haa.
At last, she didn't come home, Ai. What's she doing.
Well. anyway. I didn't lock the door, so she can
come in anytime.
Boy: Did you do it!
Boy: Of course!
Sound: Piku.
<130>
Boy: Because there were only two of us, it's unusual if I
didn't do it.
Boy: I think so too.
Boy: Gee, you're lucky. Then how was it!? Hey!
Youta: They're saying 'do it' or 'don't do it'. that means.
that?
If it's unnatural not to do anything, the two of
them.
Then, am I weird?
Um.
Sound: Piku.
Youta: .Ai and Sorayama .were being together alone.
Could it be.
It could!
<131>
Youta: No! No! From the beginning, she was alone at the tea
shop, and she left a message on the
answering machine.
Wait! She might go to Sorayama's house after that.
Well. but. Um.
Dammit!! Nothing happens even though I worry!!
Divert, divert.
Moemi-chan!
Why do I have to hide from her.
<132>
Moemi: Ah!!
Youta: What's wrong!?
Moemi: Moteuchi-kun.
<133>
Youta: What's this! It's very cruel.
Moemi: I've gotten used to it.
Sound: Beri.
Youta: You've gotten used to it. Does that mean it happens
all the time?
Moemi: I can't help it, Niimai-kun is popular. There's
competition all around me. We're trying to hide
it, but .but they find out.
Youta: What does Takashi say about this?
Moemi: Nothing. I've never told him.
<134>
Takashi: You're getting along.
Youta: Takashi!
Sound: Pon pon.
Youta: By the way! Hey you!!
Moemi: I don't want him to worry.
<135>
Youta: Moemi-chan.
You're hiding the fact that you're having a hard
time. You must really think about Takashi.
Moemi: But. Why does he say that.
Youta: Eh.
Moemi: .like, "You're getting along well," I was just
talking to you.
Youta: Isn't it jealousy? He was jealous.
Moemi: Do you think so? He didn't look like it. His eyes
looked happier.
<136>
Kaminari: Moteuchi!
Youta: Oops, the student guidelines, Kaminari.
Kaminari: Seems like you're coming to school seriously lately,
hunh?
There are bad products like you, so I can't relax,
got it?
You're already on the hit list. You'd better not do
anything wrong.
Moemi: Don't worry, don't worry.
<137>
Youta: Moemi-chan's having a hard time because of Takashi.
That's why she looked lonely last night. .I should
say something to Takashi.
Moemi: I don't want him to worry.
Youta: .may I shouldn't do anything extreme.
But.
<138>
Youta: Sorayama is coming to school now.
Sign: [After School]
Sound: Ki--n ko--n.
Youta: Takashi! Where is he!! There he is!
<140>
Moemi: Can we go home together once in awhile?
Youta: What do you want!?
<141>
Sorayama: Oh well.
I have some good news for you.
Youta: Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Sorayama: I was with Ai-chan all day and all night.
<142>
Sorayama: Ah, I feel so tired because I didn't get any sleep.
So I was planning to miss class, but I really wanted
to tell you this, so I came. Well, listen to
me.
Can you guess? I was alone with Ai-chan.
Ai-chan was great, as opposed to her looks.
Sound: Nitaa.
<143>
Sound: Ga.
Youta: What are you trying to say!!
Sorayama: Fu. I like big breasts, but I also like Ai-chan's
small breasts as well.
Youta: You. What did you. do to. Ai-chan.
Sorayama: Don't you understand? Both her mind and body are
mine.
Don't get close to her.
<144>
Sound: Don.
Kaminari: Moteuchi!!
Youta: Haa haa haa.
<145>
Moemi: Well, can I hold your arm?
Takashi: Eh?
Moemi: Uh-- Um. nothing.
Don't you want to eat your burger?
Takashi: Yeah.
<146>
Moemi: .there is .no progress.
Takashi: Progress?
Moemi: We're going out, right.
Takashi: Eh? .I guess so.
Moemi: We've never been just the two of us, either.
Can I ask you something?
Takashi: What?
Moemi: Niimai-kun. Do you like me?
