Sound: Mi--n mi--n.
Narrator: The finals are over, the tests have been returned,
and Summer Vacation is waiting for tomorrow to
begin.
The students were relieved, but all the teacher,
including one Grade-10 Class-B homeroom teacher,
were troubled by one incident.
One of the students from Class-B left his house and
has been missing from the first day of finals until
now. That student is.
<47>
Matsui: U. U.
Narrator: First, it was during finals, so no one went near the
Audio-Video room.
<48>
Rolex: Silly. Going without food and drink for a week, huh.
So, like I thought, if the Gokuraku video is given
to a person unworthy of using Gokuraku, he's lost
his logic and gone crazy.
Nothing good would come out of this.
The Video Girl would be almost destroyed.
Sound: Kotsu kotsu kotsu.
Rolex: She wasted too much time. I should rewind it to the
beginning and make her playing time a little bit
longer.
Sound: Wiiiii.
Rolex: From now on, it's her real duty.
<49>
Sound: Pi.
Gyuiiiiiiiii.
Voooooooo.
Rolex: If it finishes rewinding, Mai will disappear, so I
have to be careful.
It takes about twenty minutes to rewind a week.
Sound: Goooooooo.
<50>
Youta: Nobuko-chan.
Nobuko-chan.
Nobuko: Oh, Senpai.
<51>
Youta: Without any embarrassment or worrying, it's a very
nice environment. The period when we didn't speak
seems like it never existed. Maybe it was because we
were forced not to talk even though it was a pain
for us, so our separated time made our feelings
deeper.
Nobuko: Hey, Senpai, let's go to the sea! And the pool, too!
Youta: Sure.
Nobuko: Let's meet every day during summer vacation!
Youta: I felt like we would stay like this. Never breaking
up.
<52>
Sound: Gyurururururu. Pi.
Wiiiiiii.
Mai: I have to cheer him up.
Rolex: No. Now you have a new job. You, come with me.
<53>
Matsui: W.water.
Rolex: You were delirious. Forget everything about this
week.
Take this pill.
Matsui: Gyaaaaa!!
Rolex: Was it too strong for a weak body?
<54>
Teacher: Hey, girls, would you do me a favor.
Go to the Audio-Video room and bring me a film
canister.
Girl: Sure.
Sound: Zu.
Ai: You guys are always showing off.
<55>
Ai: Nothing would make it hotter today, but you're
making it worse.
Sound: Don.
Zui.
Zu zu zu zu zu zu zu zu.
Doki doki doki doki doki.
Ai: Hehehe.
Don't make your girlfriend cry.
Nobuko: Amano-san.
Ai: I don't mind being your sister. He might break up
with his girlfriend, but if it's his sister, I can
stay with him all the time. I wouldn't mind that.
<56>
Nobuko: I feel that now is the best time for us.
Youta: We'll have a much better time from now on.
Sound: Gui.
Nobuko: Se-Senpai.
Sound: Gata.
Youta: Let's do a continuation from the other day. I'll
kiss you.
Nobuko: Eh?
<57>
Nobuko: Sure.
Youta: I thought we were over.
.I can be with Nobuko-chan like this again.
I want to look after this girl, who will still come
to me, such a wimpy guy.
<58>
Youta: We'll start from this kiss again.
<59>
People: It's a suicide!!
Sound: Giku.
People: Matsui from Class-B tried to kill himself!!
People: Are you serious!?
People: It's in the Audio-Video room!! Hurry!!
Sound: Da da da da da da da da da da.
Nobuko: Matsui-kun did what!?
Youta: The guy named Matsui was alive, even though he was
unconscious. I've seen him before. He must be the
guy who was after Nobuko-chan. She went to the
hospital with him, because she thinks her rejection
caused it.
So, how is he?
Nobuko: Still unconscious. For now, I came home today, but.
I'm thinking to go the hospital again tomorrow. It
happened because of me.
Youta: But. We don't know that.
Nobuko: But, we can't say I didn't cause it for sure.
Anyway, I can't just leave him alone.
<60>
Nobuko: I'm thinking about going to the hospital until he
comes back from his coma. Is it okay?
Youta: Yeah. Sure, it happened, so.
Nobuko: Maybe I won't be able to see you these two or three
days. Sorry.
Youta: It's not your fault. It's this time, so, Don't
worry.
<61>
Youta: It's been four or five days since summer vacation
started. I haven't seen Nobuko-chan at all. She goes
to the hospital every day. The only thing she talks
about, on the phone too, is Matsui.
Sound: Tyururururu.
Youta: Hello.
Nobuko: Senpai!!
Youta: Happy voice, something good must have happened.
Nobuko: Well, Matsui-kun.
Youta: What about him?
Nobuko: He regained consciousness!
<62>
Youta: Then you don't have to go there anymore, right.
Nobuko: But. He went unconscious again, but. It seems like
he can't talk well, and is afraid of something. He
holds my hand and doesn't let go. His mother said,
"He seems to rely on you," and asked me to come see
him as much as possible.
Youta: What about the sea? The pool?
<63>
Nobuko: I can go there. I don't have to come here every day,
so.
Youta: Then how about on the fifth, August fifth?
Nobuko: The fifth. Oh. I promised to come see him. How about
the next day?
Youta: I already have plans.
Nobuko: .seem to conflict.
<64>
Youta: I became very scared. I froze and couldn't talk. The
word seemed to indicate the bad environment that had
just appeared between us.
<65>
Ai: .To be his sister. Because I'm not a normal person,
so I can't want any more than that.
That's what I decided, but. Starting this morning, I
feel pained to think about the two of them.
Sound: Gacha.
Ai: Old man. Welcome. Y-you.
