Ai: It's about time to be hungry, isn't it. I'll fix
dinner for you. I bought some stuff.
Youta: Well...Ai-chan.
Ai: What? Eh!? You don't want to eat my food!?
Youta: It's...not like that.
<127>
Ai: Then wait quietly! I'll fix some delicious food.
Sound: Kura.
Sound: Doki doki.
Youta: Ai-chan!!
Sound: Ba.
Ai: Oh yeah.
Ai: I forgot to buy carrots. Would you go buy some!
Ai: I haven't cooked for a long time.
<128>
Youta: I think she's trying to change the subject... I did
something selfish, even if it's too late, I want to
tell her my honest feelings... That's...what I
learned from Natsumi-chan's last... She can react
however she wants after I tell her...
Youta: But... I don't want to make it that I can't see
another person. I don't want the person living
yesterday to suddenly disappear!! If she can become
human by making love with a person... If I can help
her...
Youta: I don't want Ai-chan to disappear!!
<129>
Ai: Gee... He has girlish tastes... I can't help it...
He...
Ai: He. Why... That time... Just because it had been
such a long time...
Ai: I just want to make some good memories, and I don't
want Moemi-chan to be sad.
I didn't come here for that...
Ai: Youta must not be able to make Moemi-chan sad
either... If I can make love with Youta, I can be
human, but it's impossible. He takes such an action
without thinking, and if I take it seriously, in the
end, he won't be able to make Moemi-chan sad.
So... I have to have a strong mind...
<130>
Youta: I was surprised. You've become a much better cook.
Ai: Really. You said something that made me happy.
Ai: When I used to live with the old man, I cooked every
day, so I guess I just got polished.
Sound: Kata.
Ai: Wh-What.
<131>
Youta: ...Had rice on you face, like a kid.
Sound: Po.
Ai: He did something that embarrassed me... I can't let
him do something lovers would do.
We can't go over the line!
Sound: Ga.
Sound: Gugugu.
Ai: It's my rice. I won't let you eat it!!
Sound: Gugugu.
Sound: Guwa.
Sound: Paku.
<132>
Youta: Fufufufu.
Sound: Moga moga.
Ai: Dammit. I'm getting upset somehow.
Sound: Muka muka muka.
Sound: Ga.
Sound: Bicha. Bya.
Ai: Ke ke ke ke ke.
Sound: Shu.
Sound: Byu.
Sound: Ban ban.
Youta: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
Ai: It's not nice. Gee.
<133>
Sound: Tyurururu.
Ai: Telephone. Phone!
Youta: Hi. Hi hi hi.
Sound: Tyurururu tyurururu.
Youta: Yes yes yes.
Sound: Gacha.
Youta: Hello!
Moemi: ...What's up? you sound happy today.
Youta: Oh... Moemi-chan...
<134>
Youta: It's because I have a guest now...
Moemi: Oh.
Moemi: Is it Ai-chan?
Sound: Doki.
Youta: No...
Sound: Doki doki doki doki.
Youta: Ku... Why did I lie... Didn't I want to make things
clear...
<135>
Moemi: ...hey...Can I come over now?
Youta: Eh... But... The guest is still here, so...
Sound: Zu zu zu.
<136>
Moemi: ...I want to see you... Just seeing your face is
fine, so... Is it okay?
Youta: ...Sorry. I have a guest today, so... I'll call you
tomorrow... Sorry... Bye.
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Sound: Gacha.
Ai: You sounded so cold... poor Moemi-chan...
Youta: A-Ai-chan! I...!!
Ai: Now, I'll go home.
<137>
Youta: Go home!? Are you going to live here from today?
Ai: Of course not. I told you before, but you have
Moemi-chan, so I can't live with you.
Ai: But, I'll help you with your picture book. So, I'll
come here every day, so tell me ahead of time when
you have a date with Moemi-chan. I don't want to
come here for nothing.
Youta: The picture book...
Youta: If I tell her I lost the job, she'll say she doesn't
have a reason to come her... But...
I just swore to be honest to myself... Like this...
okay, like this...
Youta: Dammit!!...
Youta: Ai-chan... About the picture book...
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Youta: The job...was canceled...
<138>
Ai: Even if it's not that job, we can still draw, right.
It's okay! Let's do it!! I made a promise with
Natsumi-chan to make some nice memories. Let me help
you.
Youta: Then! Let's talk about the picture book! You don't
have to rush home, right!?
Please!
Ai: I guess so...
<139>
Moemi: He said it wasn't Ai-chan, but... I wonder who's
visiting...
Moemi: Who could make him so bright? That person can make
him feel better, and...I can't?
That means...that...
M's Mom: Moemi... We have something to tell you. Come here.
Moemi: What? What talk.
M's Dad: Well, sit down first.
M"s Dad: Actually...
<140>
M's Dad: Your dad... I've been relocated overseas.
Moemi: Eh?
M"s Dad: ...It seems like It'll be a long time...
M"s Mom: The company offers a place to live, so...
M's Dad: I don't want to live apart from you, so...
<141>
Moemi: No... No!!
Moemi: No! I don't want to go overseas!! I'll stay in
Japan!! I can live by myself, so it's okay.
Moemi: Haa haa haa.
Moemi: I don't want to leave Moteuchi-kun! I don't want to
be lonely anymore!!
<143>
Ai: I told you, you don't have to see me off. People
would think we're lovers!
Youta: Is that wrong? To be thought of like that.
Youta: Hah! It's not your style to be embarrassed.
Ai: Mu.
Ai: Oh yeah! So you aren't embarrassed about even this!!
Sound: Ba.
Youta: Wa... Sto...p...
<143>
Ai: See, everyone's looking at us.
Youta: A...Ai-chan!
