Ai: Wow, it looks kinkier than being naked!!
It's a bum, and a bum! Wow, they're raised so high!!
It's taken off!! And Taken off!!
<168>
Ai: Everyone looks so dynamic, just like a living adult
magazine. Don't you think everyone's more bold than
the people at the pool?
But, I can understand how they feel if I look at
this huge sea.
Youta: Ai-chan is so excited. So, it was good that we came
to the sea.
Ai: Well, I don't want to be left behind. I'll get naked
too!!
Sound: Gui.
Youta: Stop that!!
<169>
Moemi: Wa.
Youta: Moemi-chan.
At last. Moemi-chan is cute.
Now, more than Moemi-chan, who is so cute and I
liked so much, I like Nobuko-chan.
It's not logical to fall in love.
I. came here to forget about Nobuko-chan.
<170>
Ai: Hey! Moemi!! Let's be naked together!!
Moemi: Kya.
Sound: Gui.
Youta: Are you stupid!!
Oh yeah, what about Takashi? Where is he?
Sound: Karu.
Moemi: .Said he's stay in the room. I've never known such a
person!
Youta: Troublesome.
<171>
Youta: I'll go get him.
Ai: Ah.
Sound: Za.
Ai: Wait a minute, Youta!!
Youta: Um?
Ai: You came here to enjoy yourself, right? Be careful.
Sound: Gyu.
Ai: That's all.
Youta: Ah.
I see. So she saw me when I became depressed that
time. She did such a thing.
Sound: Gui.
Youta: Ooops. I feel like I was tricked.
<172>
Takashi: You're being impatient. I came with you, so it's
enough, right.
Youta: It's not enough. Moemi-chan was sulking.
Takashi: Why would she be sulking, she's the one who left me.
Youta: But, she still likes you.
Moemi: Kya--.
Ai: Go Moemi!!
Sound: Za za zaa.
<173>
Takashi: I think you can't forget about her. You. About the
girl, Nobuko.
Youta: What? Why do you suddenly bring that up. Right now,
we're talking about you.
Takashi: You were so in love with her. But you're persuading
me about her without any hesitation.
Doesn't that mean there is a girl you like as much
or more than Moemi?
Or, even though you say you can forget about Nobuko,
then maybe there's someone you like without knowing
about it.
<174>
Youta: It was a shock to me. Takashi's words, "there's
someone you like without knowing about it.," rather
than, "Can't forget about Nobuko-chan,". Who could
it be?. So. Is it
Ai-chan?
Nobuko: Good.
See, it looks clean.
Matsui: Isn't the hair cropped unevenly?
<175>
Nobuko: Just a little bit. Uneven? Hehe.
Matsui: Oh no, would you take the responsibility.
Seriously, I want you to take responsibility.
Nobuko: Okay. Okay, what do you want me to do?
<176>
Matsui: Take responsibility for being nice to me. I can't
forget about you anymore.
Nobuko: Matsui-kun.
Sorry. Matsui-kun. But, I can't forget about Senpai
like this. Like this.
<177>
Ai: The sea is fun. And the hot spring feels good. I
love this trip.
I wonder if something happened to Youta. Since he
seemed down after he went to talk to Takashi.
<178>
Moemi: Just for us.
Ai: All reserved for us! Come here quickly!
Sound: Chapo.
Ai: I envy your big breasts.
Moemi: Don't. Please don't look so closely, Ai-chan.
<179>
Ai: Has Takashi ever touched those breasts?
Moemi: Of course not. Nothing is going on between us.
Ai: Well, well. Something is written on your face, "I
like Takashi-kun."
Moemi: It isn't!
Sound: Pui.
Ai: Wow, it's written here, too.
Oh-- It's written in such a complicated place, too.
Sound: Basha basha.
Moemi: Kya. Don't touch there!!
Gee, you're kinky!
Ai: You can't pretend since it's written in so many
places!
<180>
Moemi: .It sounds very pitiful, but you're right. It's hard
to forget if I start to really like.
Ai: .Got to really like, huh.
Then Youta might no be able to forget about
Nobuko-chan, as well.
Moemi: What? You look like it wouldn't be good for you if
he couldn't forget about her.
Ai: What are you saying. It's a big misunderstanding! Oh
no!!
Of course not. I wouldn't think it'd be bad for me,
I already made up my mind to be his sister. No--.
Gee.
<181>
Youta: I can't give up Nobuko-chan. I wonder if I should
push and push and try to be able to go out with
here. No. She would say she wouldn't go out with me
no matter what. Then, maybe I should try to forget
about her.
Shit. I don't know what I should do.
Ai: Yo.
Youta: Should I call her. I might get some answer if I
heard her voice.
<182>
N's Family: She said she was going to meet someone at five, and
left. Do you want me to tell her to call you back?
Youta: Ah. No. I'll call her back, so. yes. Thank you.
Who's she going to meet. Is it Matsui.
Sound: Gacha.
Youta: That's right, I'll listen to my answering machine.
Something might be from Nobuko-chan.
Sound: Pi po.
Machine: Pi--. Sixteen messages.
Youta: !. So many.
Machine: Pi--. I'll call you back later.
Pi--. This is Nobuko. Good night.
Pi--. Are you out somewhere?.
Pi--. I'll call you back around noon.
Pi--. Gacha.
Pi--. I'll be home around eight, so please call me.
Pi--. I wanted to meet you and tell you, but. I take
back what I said about, "I'll do my best to start
hating you."
Youta: Eh. No kidding.
Sound: Doki doki doki doki doki doki doki.
<183>
Machine: Pi-- Good morning, Senpai. I'll be home today, so
give me a call.
Pi-- Gacha.
Pi-- .I'll call you later.
Pi-- Are you ignoring me.?
Pi-- I hate you!!
Pi-- .Stupid.
Pi-- Call me, Senpai.
Pi-- Please, I want to talk to you.
Youta: What should I do. What can I do. I want to get a
hold of Nobuko-chan right now! What should I do,
what should I do!? If this happens, I should have
stayed at home.
Sound: Ota ota.
Machine: Pi-- .I don't know my feelings now. Anyway, I want to
see you.
I'll wait for you at the boat port at Inogashira
Park at five o'clock.
Gacha.
Pi-- pi-- pi-- pi--.
Sound: Ba.
Youta: Oh. No.
<184>
Youta: Ai-chan! It's me! Me! Open up!
Sound: Kon kon.
Moemi: Oh, just a minute.
Ai: What do you want? Moemi-chan is changing now, so you
can't come in.
Youta: I'll go home first, so I thought I'd tell you that.
Ai: Eh!? Why!!
Youta: Nobuko-chan is waiting for me! There was a message
that she is waiting for me at Inogoshira Park at
five!
Ai: Five o'clock. It's past six. It'll take more than
two hours from here to Tokyo. It's impossible now.
Youta: But!! I can't just stay here, anyway, I'll go!
<185>
Ai: Youta! It's impossible now, don't go!! Youta.
Youta: You're acting weird. You're like a different person.
Like always, give me your support.
Bye, enjoy everyone!
Moemi: Wa-Wait, Moteuchi-kun!
Ai: Am I not able to control my feelings, without
knowing it.
