           Ai:   I see... It's nothing... Indeed... Memory or anything
                 doesn't matter so much...
                 I thought I would be attacked more by sadness, but
                 as I try to be happy, so, somehow, I'm doing okay...
           Ai:   I feel rather happier that I didn't disappear when I
                 lost my memory...
           Ai:   Oh... I see. Thinking that way reasons that I'm
                 okay...
           Ai:   But... If I think about where Youta is and what he's
                 doing, I feel hurt, so I'll try not to think about
                 him...
 
 <69>
         Girl:   Ai!! Let's play Uno!!
           Ai:   Okay!!
        Youta:   ...So with timidity... I'm beaten...
        Youta:   Just because we didn't date yesterday...  Would
                 things be so confused if...we had a date every
                 Saturday since we started going out. Just one
                 missing seems to make a crack between us.
 
 <70>
        Youta:   ...Ah...
        Moemi:   ...If you're not going to talk...
        Moemi:   I have something to do, so...
 
 <71>
        Youta:   She's angry after all...
        Youta:   Then... Maybe I should have stopped when she said,
                 "No..."
        Youta:   But, somewhere I read that a girl's, "No," doesn't
                 mean it...
        Youta:   No! No! I'm worrying about manuals again!!
        Youta:   Ah... Girls are difficult... I don't know what
                 Moemi-chan is thinking...
        Youta:   I don't want to worry about manuals, but... I wish
                 there were a textbook for love somewhere...
 
 <72>
           Ai:   What's wrong?
        Youta:   Eh? Nothing in particular... Nothing.
           Ai:   I doubt it...
           Ai:   Something happen with Moemi-chan?
                 Che... I'm expecting something strange...
        Youta:   No, no! Because I just now promised to go on a date
                 after school, so it's not like that...
 
 <73>
        Sound:   Zaki.
           Ai:   Oh...
                 Ah... It's just talking. I feel hurt just hearing
                 that they are doing well.
           Ai:   I haven't asked...
        Youta:   It's not like that.
                 It is... I didn't promise to go on a date...
 
 <74>
        Youta:   What should I do about Moemi-chan... Should I leave
                 her alone. I have to persuade Ai-chan on the
                 illustration, so...
        Sound:   Chira.
        Youta:   Ah... She's sleeping well.
 
 <75>
        Youta:   Please.
           Ai:   I can't. It was just an accident.
        Youta:   It wasn't!
        Youta:   You have the talent to color! You're better than I
                 am! Please help me, the dead line is close, too.
           Ai:   I helped you for one date, yesterday. It's boring to
                 me. I don't want to do it.
        Youta:   It'll be interesting if you keep working. So,
                 let's!?
 
 <76>
        Youta:   If you try, you can! Right.
        Sound:   Suta suta.
        Youta:   Let's do it together!!
        Sound:   Kuru.
           Ai:   I'd do it even if you didn't tell me!
        Youta:   Eh?
           Ai:   But, it's kind of embarrassing if we do it together,
                 but if you want to no matter what, then let's!!
        Sound:   Dohi.
           Ai:   Bye.
        Sound:   Kii.
        Youta:   Ah, wait!!
        Youta:   Don't fool with me. Let's talk it over.
           Ai:   What do you want. Are you trying to make me wet
                 here!?
        Youta:   Then... Anyway, think it over. Okay.
 
 <77>
           Ai:   It's impossible after all... I'm thinking about
                 leaving your house.
        Youta:   Eh.
           Ai:   Because if I were there, it's harder for Moemi-chan
                 to come, and an inconvenience.
                 Don't you think so?
           Ai:   It's your dream, so it's better you do it by
                 yourself...
        Sound:   Batan.
 
 <78>
           Ai:   It's all lies!! It's fun to color, and I want to
                 help if it's possible.
                 But! Then Moemi-chan wouldn't feel good, and I know
                 it will be painful if I'm with him...
           Ai:   So... Maybe i should leave his house... I don't want
                 to do it... Shit...
           Ai:   Ku! No, no!! I have to think how lucky it was that I
                 didn't disappear!
                 But... I haven't come to any conclusions...
 
 <79>
        Youta:   I'm being avoided by Moemi-chan, and Ai-chan told me
                 she was leaving the house... What's wrong with me.
        Youta:   Is everyone going to leave me... If the relationship
                 between Moemi-chan and I were to break naturally...
                 Could I get her back...
        Youta:   When my picture book is finished, I want her to be
                 the first to proud of me...
        Youta:   Ai-chan...
        Youta:   It has to be you after all... My coloring doesn't
                 work...
 
 <80>
        Sound:   Goso goso.
        Sound:   Pusa.
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Goso goso.
        Sound:   Posu.
 
 <81>
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki.
        Moemi:   Kyaa.
          Guy:   Hehe.
        Sound:   Gu.
        Sound:   Guwa.
 
 <82>
        Youta:   It's just a meaningless day...without anything. It's
                 already the sixth hour... Ai-chan still hasn't told
                 me OK and I haven't even seen her face...
      Teacher:   Hey, Hayakawa. Aren't you cold like that? You always
                 wear long sleeves and pants.
        Moemi:   Ah... I forgot them.
          Boy:   Hya hya. I didn't expect to see short pants this
                 season!!
          Boy:   Outstanding!
        Sound:   Za za za za.
 
 <83>
      Teacher:   Hey... Where is Hayakawa?
         Girl:   Eh. She's gone since the gym class let out, right.
         Girl:   That's right.
        Moemi:   I can't...bear it...anymore...
 
 <84>
        Sound:   Buwa.
        Youta:   Moemi-chan!?
        Youta:   Mo-Moemi-chan!?
        Moemi:   I'm sorry!! But, I can't...after all...
           Ai:   Youta... If you don't have a date with Moemi-chan,
                 then let's go home...
 
 <85>
        Youta:   Moemi-chan was fighting her shock from the day of
                 the storm... She said she felt bad and couldn't see
                 me... Somehow, Moemi-chan always looks fragile, and
                 scared... I started to like you more.
        Youta:   Anyway, I think I can concentrate on the
                 illustration now... If Ai-chan helps me now, then I
                 won't have anything to wo...
           Ai:   Hi.
           Ai:   What are you doing. Change your clothes and let's
                 start, now!!
     Narrator:   Youta's cleaning up after everything seems okay...
                 Youta didn't know this came from Ai's complicated
                 feelings of pain and jealousy. Ai's feelings of
                 liking Youta can't hold back her guilt...
