Matsui: Please. Go out with me.
Uwa. She looks troubled!
Nobuko: Well. I.
Sound: Bu.
<143>
Sound: Kuru.
Matsui: Haha. Please, don't think about it! Bye!
Nobuko: Did you hear that? Hey, Senpai! There's a guy who
told me that he likes me. If you think I'm
so easy. I don't know what may happen to me.
Hey, Senpai.
<144>
Matsui: I think it's hopeless from the first. I'll push and
push and push!!
Sound: Katsu.
<145>
Youta: I was shocked. I didn't think she would slap me. I
couldn't have even gone after her.
I can't catch Nobuko-chan either. What am I doing.
I guess, the actions I took that morning were
extremely bad.
I'm getting such a powerful return from it.
<146>
Youta: Good. She looks okay now. But. That man with the
coat certainly said, ".Erase Ai,". I
can't be careless.
Oops. My seat is next to hers. This is an awkward
situation.
But this is not the time to be nervous. I have to
tell her about the man with the coat soon.
<147>
Youta: We-well. Ai-chan.
Sound: Piku.
Ban.
Ai: Do you want to read this?
Youta: .This isn't good. But, I don't have to rush because
I have the opportunity to talk to her any
time during class.
Ai & Nobuko: Um.
<148>
Sound: Piri piri piri piri.
Piri piri piri piri.
Doki doki doki doki doki.
Youta: The air between those two seems piri piri*. I can
see now what happened between them
while I went to buy the towel. The two of them
weren't there when I returned.
* Piri piri is an expression of a tense air around
people.
Sound: Do do do do do do do.
Youta: Both of them are stubborn, so. They might fight to
grapple, or.
Coldly ignore each other and pass by.
<149>
Ai & Nobuko: G'morning!
Sound: Niko.
Youta: I felt so chilled. At a glance, it looked like
nothing happened, but those fake smile were
scarier than grappling or ignoring each other. I
think I saw the terrible part of women.
<150>
Youta: If I think well. I shouldn't be telling Ai anything.
If she lost her memory. She must be spending her
life not knowing she's a Video Girl.
Then, she wouldn't know a Video Girl has a short
life.
Even if I told her everything. It's just like I were
to tell her she has cancer.
She would be shocked.
Rolex: Is Ai's memory back to normal? .To Erase Ai.
Sound: Chira.
Youta: Even though. He came to erase Ai before her life
span.
<151>
Youta: On the other hand, she has a short life. Why were
you born as a Video Girl.
You don't have to talk to me. I'll stand by you and
protect you from him.
Originally it was because my VCR broke, so I have
the responsibility for this.
Sign: [Senpai's Stupid]
<152>
Matsui: I like gym class.
Because I can spend an hour with Nizaki-san at the
same place called ground.
Sound: Guru.
Ai: What do you want! You're always tagging along like
shit after a goldfish!!
Youta: Aha. Finally, you talk to me.
Matsui: He is chasing after another girl while he's going
out with Nizaki-san.
<153>
Ai: I hate you hanging around me.
Youta: Why. Why did you call me that time?
Ai: Because.
Sound: Za.
Youta: Anyway.
<154>
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Ai: What.do you mean.
<155>
Youta: Um!?
No-Nobuko-chan.
Sound: Da.
Matsui: Nizaki-san!!
You're a horrible guy.
<156>
Ai: Look what you've done! She misunderstood this!!
Youta: Yeah.
That's right, Nobuko-chan, Ai-chan forgot that in
the past I spent time with her and we used
to love each other. And, me too. "A heap of time" is
on Nobuko-chan's side. You don't
have to worry at all.
I'll explain it well to Nobuko-chan later. You hate
to be misunderstood too, but, please
don't worry.
It's not a matter of liking or disliking you. I
just.
Ai: Just what?
<157>
Ai: Just. Stand by me. You mean.
Anything.
You don't know anything, and don't talk so cruel!!
<158>
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Nobuko: He even kissed me.
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Nobuko: He even touched my skin.
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Nobuko: Even though.
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Nobuko: Even though.
Youta: I'll stand by you all the time.
Matsui: Are you okay?
<159>
Sound: So.
Nobuko: I think it's uncalled for to be nice to me now.
Matsui: That guy! Break up with him.
Nobuko: But. I like him so. I like him so very much.
Matsui: But._I won't give up.
Nobuko: This person is similar to me. That dumb part.
