Toshiki: ...Hold on... You mean...
Len: Yes, I'm saying, let's have sex!!
Hiromu: Why do you suddenly say such a thing!!
Len: No reason! I want to, so I will!
<7>
Len: You said, if you live with me, but I'm no different
from Shirakawa-san.
I do some kinky things, as well! Are you sure you'll
be okay, just living with me.
Len: From the beginning, I feel very disappointed being
played, because you were hurt by such cheap love,
you could give her up if she wasn't a virgin.
Toshiki: It's a surprise, have you ever done something kinky
before?
Len: I haven't!
Toshiki: Eh?
Len: That's why I will, now!
<8>
Len: So, would you spend a little time outside? I'm
sorry!
Hiromu: I think... She's not going to do something kinky...
She must mean, I should cool off...
Hiromu: Since I've been scolded by Len-chan, I think it was
a stupid thought... Did I start liking Shirakawa-san
half-way... I shouldn't give her up, but...
I can't tell if my feelings are clear-cut... I don't
know what to do with myself...
<9>
Toshiki: It was a powerful attack. Haha. It must be a good
lesson for him. Well, shall we watch TV?
Len: Take a shower...first.
Len: I don't want to do it with a dirty body.
Toshiki: Hah?...
<10>
Hiromu: I went to Moteuchi-san's... If I ask him for advice,
then I have to tell him everything. Then, he may
think I'm stupid, or just carelessly comfort me...
What should I do...
Should I stop this...
Sound: Gacha.
Hiromu: Good evening.
<11>
Youta: You're lucky. If you had come a little later, I
would have already left.
Youta: And, what are you up to...
Toshiki: You're going to take a shower too, right?
Len: Of course.
<12>
Sound: Waku waku.
Sound: Nita.
Toshiki: Should I peep at her.
Toshiki: Well, I know she'll ask me to turn the light off, so
I'll look now, in the bright place.
Sound: Soro soro.
Toshiki: Slowly, slowly.
Toshiki: Um?
Sound: Mish mish.
Toshiki: Ngu- ngu-!
Sound: Za-.
Toshiki: Um-! Um-!

Youta: Len-chan isn't disgusted or hasn't given up on you.
She's encouraging you, "Do your best! Don't give
up!" with kind feelings...
Youta: I have the same opinion as Len-chan.
Youta: You couldn't like girls for so many years, but now
your feelings have been moved. You shouldn't give up
so easily. Don't think your worlds are so different,
and just go out with her, right now. You are lost
somewhere, you don't know.
You cannot see further ahead, so you're scared to
walk on, right. But if you keep stopping, the view
around you won't change. Go ahead.
You'll see something different, for sure.
<14>
Youta: And, also, if you stay there or go back to some
place, your wounds will get deeper and deeper, then
you'll die. You kept stopping, so you are in
critical condition.
You can only walk forward.
Sound: Pon.
Youta: Well, this is all I can say...
Youta: Hey, it's hard for you to go home since you had an
argument with her today. Why don't you come stay
over at my house.
Hiromu: Eh... Ah.
Okay.
<15>
Len: I feel tense...
I bet Shirakawa-san felt the same way... I'm
embarrassed and scared...
A very complicated feeling...
<16>
Toshiki: I so nice, I turned the light off...
Toshiki: Well, this is one of the techniques. Making the mood
is important...
Many girls change their minds at the last minute...
Sound: Cha.
Sound: Batan.
Toshiki: Oh, she got out, she got out. As usual, I'm excited
by this moment.
Toshiki: It's her, so she must wear clothes well like, "Are
you really going to do it with that?" Well, it's
more enjoyable than being simple.
Sound: Su.
<18>
Toshiki: Oh, surprisingly, simple...
Len: Now, shall we.
Toshiki: Are you sure? It's not my style to force you. But,
anyway, I'm already into it.
Toshiki: If you worry about Hiromu, I think he's already had
a lesson.
Sound: Su.
Toshiki: Even if we don't do it, we can say we did.
<19>
Len: I don't want to have some "surface" or "deception"
with evasive feelings, he won't feel my support, and
like that, he won't be healed...
Len: Saying something without experience doesn't have
bearing...
Len: I'm fine. It doesn't sound like you. I decided, or
I'm not upset.
So, it's okay.
<20>
Toshiki: Now...
Toshiki: I'm sleepy. Let's sleep. Good night.
Len: Eh!?
Toshiki: I think that feeling is enough. Hiromu can feel it.
Toshiki: It's not because I saw her tears. Many girls wet
their eyes like that for the first time... I didn't
stop because of that...
Sound: Gari gari. Gacha.
Toshiki: I've never refused it if they came. I'm weird today.
Gee, I lost my rhythm...
<21>
Len: Thanks. I thought you might not see me.
Ayumi: Satoko told me I could trust you...
Len: Oh, your friend... I see... She said that...
Len: Well... Did you go any further with your
ex-boyfriend?
Ayumi: Eh?
Len: That's why you tried to leave Hiromu-kun, right?
<22>
Len: My heart is beating so rapid for the first time.
It's like a matter of life and death.
Until we can reach thinking about "now," we'll use a
lot of energy, right...
Len: The feelings this time are more serious than at any
other time, and it's a moment where deciding very
important things should be done alone, right. Or,
did you do it with the mood, and do you regret it
now?
Sound: Ban ban.
Len: Then, you can be proud of yourself. It's a wonderful
things that you could trust a person in your heart,
right.
Len: Hiromu-kun just doesn't know there is such a
feeling. Would you teach him...
<23>
Ayumi: Thank you, Momono-san. I won't avoid Taguchi-san
anymore...
Len: Good.
Ayumi: But... Still... I can't go out with Taguchi-san...
Len: Eh? Why?
Ayumi: I...may still...like him...
Hiromu: Take a chance!
Hiromu: I was encouraged by Moteuchi-san. With my high
spirits, I came to Shirakawa-san's school. This is,
"Not knowing is easy"
