Sound: Jari.
Ai: Later! Bye bye.
<170>
Youta: Ai-chan left... We finished working on the picture
book, and I failed at the contest, so there's no
reason to stop her since I can't get a job...
Youta: I have Moemi-chan, so, of course, there's no need
for her as a Video Girl...
Youta: It's so silent inside the house, filled with lonely
air... I should have been used to being alone in
this house, the one where my dad rarely comes to...
This space that Ai-chan left is too large to
breathe...
<171>
Youta: Always, a dirty room...
She cleaned up... Stupid...
Sound: Gacha.
Youta: If we meet at the entrance, then it's useless...
Sign: [Thank you for taking care of me! See you at
school!! Ai.]
Youta: She's really...stupid...
<172>
Sound: Su.
Youta: This is...
<173>
Rolex: As I thought, it seems impossible to make love. Are
you giving up...
Ai: Are you recovering me!
Rolex: Don't be confused. I just came to tell you.
<174>
Rolex: Your playing time has a little time left. But, you
still have a chance. Do your best until the last
moment.
Ai: Eh!?
Gokuraku: Ai.
Ai: Haa haa haa.
<175>
Ai: Old man! How much longer can I be played...!?
Gokuraku: Did you hear from that man...
Gokuraku: I found out recently, but... Look at the counter on
the VCR.
Gokuraku: It takes one hour to count down from nine to zero on
the first digit. After that, repeat it 24 times, the
second digit decreases one... Therefore...
Ai: Forty-seven days...left...
<176>
Youta: Ah... I don't feel easy...somehow... Is it because I
can see Ai-chan? No, nothing will change, even if I
see her, and from the beginning, I was with her
yesterday... Then what...
Moemi: But, I feel better now. I thought you wouldn't come
to school because you would be depressed.
Moemi: Hey! Are you listening to me!?
Youta: Eh...eh?
<177>
Youta: I am... I am. About the contest, right.
Moemi: You really don't look like you're worried... But...
Moemi: At that time.
Moemi: Your face was very... A very scary face. I felt that
you were more upset about not being able to work
with Ai-chan than about the contest...
Moemi: Isn't that so?
Youta: No.
Moemi: I see... i worry too much.
<178>
Moemi: How about today?
Moemi: But, always...
Youta: Ah.
Moemi: It's okay! You're slow!!
Sound: Suru.
Youta: It's a kiss, right!?? I knew it!!
Sound: Da.
Moemi: Never! Absolutely not!
<179>
Youta: Then! I'll do it, absolutely!!
Moemi: Be-.
Moemi: Kya.
Sound: Kaki.
Youta: Watch out!
Sound: Gashi.
Sound: Puku.
Youta: Ah.
Youta: S-Sorry.
Sound: Pa.
<180>
Sound: Su.
Moemi: It's okay if it's you, Moteuchi-kun.
Moemi: If it's you, it's okay...
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Moemi: Did you notice... I'm not wearing any stockings
today?
<181>
Moemi: I think I have to fix it... Forget about the day of
the storm... When I go to sleep... I'm practicing a
lot...
Moemi: I'm your girlfriend... If I keep...that... I feel
sorry for you... So.
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Moemi: I made up my mind... If you...could get an
award...in the contest...
Moemi: If you could get the award... I would let...you...
Youta: Eh!?
Sound: Gyu.
<182>
Sound: Ba.
Moemi: Stupid! Kinky!
<183>
Youta: Ai!!
Ai: Youta...!
What, you look energetic, since this morning.
Youta: Eh? really?
Youta: I was strangely excited, I feel it's been a long
time since I've seen you.
Youta: Oh yeah, I failed in the contest, but I got an
invitation card for an award. let's go together!!
<184>
Ai: Oh, Moemi-chan can't come that day, so you're asking
me.
Youta: Eh? I haven't told Moemi-chan. you worked on the
book, so of course I should ask you, right.
Ai: It's okay. I won't go. I'm not interested. Ask
Moemi-chan.
Sound: Gara gara.
Youta: Moemi-chan didn't do anything on the book. Hey,
let's go.
Ai: Stupid! She did something, all right!! She was
patient about seeing you all that time. That's great
co-operation too! Ask Moemi-chan!!
Sound: Gura gura. Pisha.
Youta: Why is she so upset...
<185>
Ai: Me too... Actually i was excited when I thought I
could see Youta.
Ai: Are they the same...Are his feeling the same as
mine... then Youta... About me...
Sign: [46 More days until the end of Ai's playing time...]
