Teacher: You're expelled from school.
Youta: What.
--that call was from my homeroom teacher.
What!! The principal said he would overlook it this
time!!
Teacher: The president of the PTA didn't forgive it.
As a matter of fact, you hit the son of the
president of the PTA.
Youta: Eh?
The son of the PTA's president!? .is Sorayama!?
I see. that provocative attitude, like he was
planning to strike, had this behind it.
Teacher: Anyway, come to school tomorrow, I think the
principal will tell you directly.
<169>
Sound: Ju ju. Goo.
Ai: This is the last time to take care of him. I exist
only to "Send him Ale".
Until I understand without a doubt, I should be
apart from Youta.
But. Actually. this much. about him. but.
Ha!!
Sound: Su.
Gu.
Ai: If I think I like him even a little bit, am I going
to disappear.
<170>
Youta: Expelled, huh. Very difficult. But I have Ai-chan.
Having Ai-chan is more important than
being expelled from school.
I won't tell her about being expelled from school
yet. We'll just enjoy today!!
<172>
Youta: Don't go. anywhere. anymore.
Ai: Hey, let's kiss!
Youta: Eh?
Sound: Goku.
Ba.
Youta: Oh, yeah, I have to wash the clothes!!
Ah, I'm busy, I'm busy!!
Ai: Stingy, Youta!!
<173>
Youta: .Expelled from school, huh.
Sound: Ban.
<174>
Ai: Before he comes back, I'll put my stuff together.
and leave here.
<175>
Sound: Wiiiii.
Ai: Hi, how are you? My other half.
Sound: Byuuu.
Gagaga.
Ai: This idiot!!
Don't play the tape with a broken VCR!!
I thought I was going to die!!
Be sure not to touch the VCR!!
If you turn the power off, I'm going to disappear!
<176>
Ai: .It was fun. at that time. I didn't know the emotion
of "like."
Even if this, "I send you Ale," is rewound, I can't
go back to that time.
This isn't, "I comfort you,".
If it's so painful, I should turn the power off.
I'm a wimp.
<177>
Youta: Someday in future, I believe I can share my dreams
to the people of the world!!
What?
Oh, that. I couldn't finish by the deadline.
Why. Because I was looking for you.
Ai: Stupid.
To leave him. I'm leaving for him. I don't want to.
<178>
Youta: Sorayama's dad is a more open-minded person than I
thought.
Mr. Sorayama: Actually, the one who told the homeroom teacher to
expel you was my wife. I want to settle
this amicably, since this is a fight among kids,
but.
Principal: Well, but, we can't just close our eyes, because
it's already spread to the PTA. We could give
you a suspension for two weeks.
Kaminari: Moteuchi! Don't get happy too quick!! You already
have a week of non-excused absences!
And if you're suspended now, you'll miss the final
text, that means.
Youta: .repeating a grade, huh.
<179>
Youta: It doesn't matter to me right now.
If Ai-chan is with me. and I can create a picture
book.
<180>
Youta: Ai-chan.
Ai-chan!!
<181>
Sound: Za.
Gacha.
Ai: This room's bright. if the blinds are opened.
Youta: What's wrong with you.
<182>
Ai: I was going to leave this house. today.
Youta: Eh?
Ai: But I couldn't do it, it was too hard to leave you.
too hard.
Youta: Why!? You don't have to leave! Stay here forever.
Ai: Uh-um, I can't, because.
It's my destiny! I have to 'send ale' to your love.
I shouldn't like you!!
<183>
Ai: A Video Girl shouldn't be like a person.
.But.
Sound: Ga.
Ai: Shall we kiss.
<184>
Sound: Su.
<185>
Ai: U.
Sound: Ba ba ba.
Youta: Wh-what's wrong?!
Sound: Dosa.
Youta: H-hey! I can see through your hand!!
Ai: .if I like someone, I'll disappear. haa haa haa.
Right now, in my mind, I thought, "I like you very
much."
Strong. so.
Youta: Whah! What can I do for you.
Ai: I was going to disappear. I can't stop. this
feeling.
I can't. leave you.
<186>
Ai: I like you. Youta. I like you very much.
Sound: Su.
Youta: Wait! Don't rush!! Okay, how about this!! I like
you!
So send ale to us that our love can succeed.
For yourself, send ale! Okay! Okay!
Ai: Fu. Idiot.
Sound: Su.
Ai: I. found your. good part. again.
Sound: Syuooooo.
<187>
Youta: Ai!!
