Youta: I was swimming. I was swimming in the middle of an
open sea.
Nobuko-chan is cheering me on, so I have to do my
best.
Nobuko: Do your best.
Sound: Chu.
Youta: Everyone else is so ahead of me, and.
I'll be eaten if I stay here so long.
<169>
Youta: Swim ahead. Swim!!
Sound: Zaba.
Youta: Haa haa haa.
Ai: Nobody's here anymore.
Youta: I thought this would finally happen.
Ai: Me too.
<170>
Youta: It was a dream. It was a very good dream.
I'll see the continuation of the dream.
I ended up with Ai-chan. What a dream. But.
I was very happy that she waited for me. I just
decided to go out with Nobuko-chan
yesterday.
I feel so down.
<171>
Youta: Do I feel gloomy going out with her?
It was just a dream. I can regain yesterday's
feelings when I see Nobuko-chan.
.If I still feel gloomy even after I see her.
Nobuko: Hey, brother! Why don't we ditch school and take off
for coffee!?
<172>
Nobuko: Just kidding! Good morning, Senpai!
Sound: Giku.
Youta: H-hi.
Sound: Doki doki doki doki.
Su.
<173>
Nobuko: We're going out, right?
Youta: Y-yes.
Nobuko: Wow.
Sound: Don.
Nobuko: I'm glad it wasn't a dream
Youta: Cu-cute.
Good! Everything is fine. I can go out with her!!
Boy: Pink!
Boy: Beige!
Youta: Um.
<174>
Ai: Bzzzzzt. Both of you are wrong!
Boy: Um--.
Youta: What are you doing?
Boy: Oh, hello, Moteuchi-san.
Youta: Quit calling me "san." You can just say my name.
What are you guys talking about, pink or beige?
Ai: Um? Oh, which color of panties I'm wearing now.
Youta: Wha.
Ai: Now what color is it!!
Youta: Um.--.
Striped, yellow and blue!
Ai: Pinpon, pinpon!
People: Wow.
Boy: It's true.
<175>
Ai: Wow, how did you do that!!
Sound: Pyun.
Youta: Well.
That's not what I'm talking about!! I told you not
to show off your panties! Or something.
Ai: As a reward for the correct answer, I'll wear your
favorite panties and let you see them
privately tomorrow. What kind do you like?
Youta: Eh? Well? Then.
Ai: I give up! I give up!
Youta: What do you mean you give up!!
Gee. The kind of game kinky people would be happy
with. So this is the real image of a
Video Girl.
<176>
Sound: Piku.
Youta: Eyes that see right through me.
Gee. What a bad girl she it.
Nobuko: You're so excited, Senpai.
Youta: Eh? Why do you say that? I don't think so.
Nobuko: Senpai, at last, about Amano-san.
Youta: Not true! How can I explain. She's like my bad
sister.
It's no lie. If I'm conscious, I can't be so
excited.
It must be because of you that I'm so excited.
Nobuko: And. So what would you like?
<177>
Youta: What?
Um. I think polka-dots.
Ai: Everyone!! I heard this guy really loves
polka-dotted panties. Let's call him Mizutama-kun*.
*Mizutama means polka-dot.
Youta: hey! Hey!
People: Mizutama-kun.
Youta: Hey! It's only because you asked a weird question.
People: Wahahaha, Mizutama-kun.
<178>
Youta: People say, "If people are physically separated,
they become mentally separated as well."
I think that's right. As i face Nobuko-chan more, my
feelings toward her become stronger.
I didn't have to worry about my dream.
Nobuko: Senpai
Youta: Nobuko-chan.
Sound: Porurururu. Poruru. Gacha.
Nobuko: Hello. Oh, Senpai!!
Youta: Were you sleeping?
Nobuko: No. But, I'm sitting on my bed. Hehehe.
Youta: Really? Me too!
<179>
Nobuko: Really!! I'm happy we're doing the same thing.
I was just thinking about calling you right now.
Youta: Oh yeah.
It's fun. My heart feels like Muzu-muzu* or
Uki-uki**.
I wonder if this is the actual feeling of having a
girl friend.
*itchy, and **excited
<180>
Ai: Byo--n.
Oh.
Kishishi.
Ready, set, go.
Nobuko: Senpai!
Ai: Um.
Sound: Piku.
Nobuko: Today. I'm wearing them.
Youta: Eh? What?
<181>
Nobuko: Your favorite, Mizutama.
I'll show them to you later.
Youta: Eh!! Wh-wha--.
Nobuko: Kyahaha. Blushing, so cute.
Boy: Amano.
What color are your panties today!?
Ai: No panties!
<182>
Sound: Poi.
<183>
Ai: So stupid. Mizutama.
Teacher: Hey, Amano! It's home room time. Where are you
going!?
Ai: I'm not wearing underwear, so I'll go buy some!!
Youta: Ai?.
Ai: Ah-- Why am I so irritated!
<184>
Youta: Hello. Oh, Nobuko-chan? What are you doing now?
Nobuko: Eh? .Well, I was waiting for your call. Just
kidding.
Youta: Don't you want to see me now?
Nobuko: Eh? We were together at school just awhile ago.
Youta: You don't want to?
Nobuko: Not at all. I'd be happy to!
Youta: Good! Then.
Each day my feelings get stronger and stronger.
<185>
Sound: Karan karan.
Ai: Ah.
Two days ago I dreamed about him. Dreamt that I was
with him.
It was very fun at the seashore with him. After that
I feel weird around here.
