Youta: Moemi-chan's sudden visit, her unexpected push, and
mysterious mood, I lost my pace and I started to
drift...
Youta: I think I know what Moemi-chan meant by, "I won't go
home," from the experience with Nobuko-chan... Both
of us... Nothing to do... And just waiting for
night.
Youta: As I regret a little about letting Ai-chan go like
that...
Youta: We left to shop for dinner...
Youta: Moemi-chan...
<68>
Youta: I want to drop by one place, so, would you go to the
market first...
Youta: After all, I worry about Ai-chan. The park her tent
was at is just by here... It's not like I went to
see her, but it's certain that I worry about my job
the most.
Moemi: Okay, sure...
Moemi: We'll be together all night tonight, so.
Youta: ...!! Can she read my mind? She sounded a little
hurried, but just like a declaration of victory...
<69>
Youta: I don't know why Ai-chan uses Natsumi's tent, but...
Anyway, the tent can be moved any time, so... I
worry that she may move because of the afternoon...
Youta: Good... Good... It's still here...
Youta: She's not here...
Youta: Ai-chan's stuff was inside... She must live here. I
feel relieved that I can see her if i come here...
Ai: What are you doing. you shouldn't be here...!!
You're with Moemi-chan, right!
<70>
Youta: Finally, the night came, Moemi-chan seems to really
stay here... Then, we will...
It's delicious... Your food...
Moemi: Really? Thanks...
Moemi: It's warm this winter... We won't see snow like this
this year...
Youta: Eh.
...Snow.
Ai: It's the anniversary of the first date with the
dress that Youta gave me.
Youta: What am I thinking while I'm with Moemi-chan.
Sound: Gotsu.
<71>
Moemi: Do you have any special memories about snow?
Youta: Eh? not particularly...
Moemi: I...like snow... I like the view of snow on the
ground... Everything turns white...
Moemi: I feel like my mind also turns white as I look at
it... I envy people who don't have any calculations
in their mind, or any darkness at all. Like
Ai-chan...
Moemi: Would you like some tea?
<72>
Youta: Moemi-chan.
Youta: Let's not talk about...Ai-chan...
Moemi: Okay...
Youta: I can't grasp her thinking totally...
Moemi: I'll let you... If you receive an award...
Youta: So staying here means... that, right? But... even
though... I still have a question, because...
<73>
Youta: That she's not wearing a skirt... Since the day of
the storm, she stopped wearing skirts. The pants
show the wall in her mind...
Youta: These clothes show she has a strong guard up. It's
evidence that she hasn't opened up to me...
Youta: So... Even if she said she would stay here, it was
just to be together, and I'm better off thinking
there's no further meaning.
<74>
Moemi: What's wrong?
Sound: Goto.
Youta: ...Just thinking... I don't understand...
Moemi: I can't still have my courage... But, I want to be
with you...
<75>
Youta: That's what I thought... At least I knew it before I
expected something...
Youta: I see... Now I understand.
Sound: Doki doki.
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Moemi: Moteuchi-kun...
Sound: Doki doki...
Youta: Um?
<76>
Moemi: Don't laugh.
<77>
Sound: Kuru.
Sound: Pasa.
Youta: Mo-Moemi-chan...
Moemi: I want to take the barrier away from my mind... I
was going to do this as soon as I got here, but... I
didn't have enough courage...
Sound: Doki doki.
Sound: Pasa.
Moemi: Look at me, Moteuchi-kun... I'm doing my best to be
patient! I want to take away the illness from that
stormy day. Please, look at me!!
Sound: Doki doki.
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Sound: Doki doki.
<80>
Youta: A bathing suit... I feel a little relieved, but...
Little Youta is totally awake...
Sound: Doku dokun dokun dokun.
Youta: Even though it's a bathing suit... Moemi-chan is
trying so much... No matter what I have to do, I
have to hold my indecent feelings back...
Moemi: Well... I'm just stupid... You think I'm weird,
right?
Youta: N-Not at all!
Moemi: That's right...
Moemi: Hey! Why don't we take a bath together! I won't look
unnatural if I'm in water!
Youta: Eh.
<81>
Moemi: Kya- Kya- i guess it's too small for the two of us
in the bath!!
Sound: Za za-.
Youta: Then, while I wash my body, why don't you warm
yourself.
Moemi: Oh, I'll do it! Let me wash you! Let me do it!!
Sound: Zapa.
Youta: Eh.
Sound: Goshi goshi.
Moemi: your back is big... You're truly a guy.
Youta: Oh... Yeah...
Ai: See! It's nice to be washed by a girl.
Youta: Why do I remember about Ai-chan again!!
<82>
Youta: Moemi-chan?
Moemi: No! Don't look back!!
<83>
Youta: Mo-Moemi-chan.
Moemi: Don't forget. Please remember my warmth even when
you're alone... This is all...
I can do now... Sorry.
Youta: I truly think...you are a person like snow...
Moemi: I'm not, Moteuchi-kun. I don't have such a white
mind. I'm blaming you and tormenting you... I arouse
you and arouse you, then even if you ask me for it,
I'll refuse... Unless Ai-chan isn't in your
mind, I'll keep doing this. I'll keep doing it until
then... Until then...
