This person, what sort of person is she? This person – who saw what I could not, Kou during his middle school years
Page 2-3
Clearly nothing has begun yet. But it still never stops growing, this expectant sort of feeling.
Page 4
Kou: Narumi, Just sit there then.
Narumi: Thanks.
Futaba (thinking): Narumi …So that’s her name…
Text: Piercing pain
Page 5
Kou: Narumi, did you want something?
Narumi: Oh… A milk tea.
Kou: Okay.
Guy: Hey, is Narumi-chan Mabuchi-kun’s girlfriend?
Narumi: Ah… no, no!
Guy: Ah… so it’s like that… Then… are you like an ex-girlfriend…?
Narumi: Ahaha!
Page 6
Narumi: It’s not like that either.
Guy: Okay.
Narumi: We were in the same grade together in middle school at Nagasaki. I just recently moved over here too…
Guy: Oh, so it’s like that.
Futaba (thinking): She seems like a really sincere person.
Futaba (thinking): I feel as if I can stop worrying a little…
Kou (thinking): After I put the tea in the hot water, how long should I wait?
Page 7
Kominato: Is this right? If you do nothing but spoil that child, nothing good will come of it.
Kou: …I know that.
Guy: You came alone today? Why? You didn’t bring some friends? (Female friends)
Narumi: Yes. I just moved here, so I haven’t gotten around to making friends yet… (Very sorry, I didn’t bring any female friends with me.)
Guy: Ah… ah, is that so.
Page 8
Kou: It won’t be a problem. If it’s Narumi, then she should get used to her new school pretty quickly. She’s very good at making friends, right?
Page 9
Narumi: Yes.
Guy: Good luck, Narumi-chan.
Kou: Ah, by the way, “Narumi” is her surname. (I’ll let you know first.)
Guy: What? I thought that was your first name. (Wahaha)
Narumi: Yes, my name is Narumi Yui.
Futaba (thinking): So “Narumi” was her surname… It seems like their relationship isn’t what I was worried it would be.
Page 10
Futaba (thinking): I feel as if I’ve wronged her by being so cautious. I feel a little guilty, really.
Shuuko: I say, Mabuchi. Even if it’s your friend, you need to receive your guests properly, more like a maid.
Kou: Oh…kay.
Shuuko: (A little cuter.)
Kou: (Yes. <3)
Yuuri: Hello, you’re Mabuchi-kun’s friend, right.
Narumi: Excuse me, I didn’t order this.
Futaba: (In order to lessen her guilt) It’s a special gift, for Kou’s friend.
Page 11
Narumi: “Kou” …?
Futaba: ?
Narumi: You two must be very close, right?
Futaba: Ah, I was classmates with him for a semester during middle school…
Kou: You see, I changed my name afterwards.
Narumi: Ah, so it’s like that!
Page 12
Kou: Speaking of which, Narumi your surname right now is…
Futaba (thinking): ? Her surname right now?
Narumi: Ah… It’s still Narumi.
Page 13
Narumi: It’s all a bit sudden, and there are still so many things.
Kou: Is that so. I was like that too, at that time.
Futaba (thinking): Ah, so are Narumi-san’s parents also divorced? She really is in the same situation as Kou.
Futaba (thinking): I feel as if…
Page 14
Futaba (thinking): I feel as if… How should I put it? I feel as if…
Futaba (thinking): But I myself don’t reallt know what sort of feeling this is.
Futaba: Ah, Kikuchi-kun. Welcome home, master.
Touma: I… I’m back… (Is that what I’m supposed to say? I don’t know.) Yoshioka-san is very handsome. (Hahaha.)
Page 15
Narumi: So, does it look good?
Kou: No, it’s very plain.
Narumi: Ah, how rude ---! You should be saying that it looks good in a situation like this.
Futaba: It seems like she’s a friend from middle school. Kou lived in Nagasaki for a while, so that’s when they met.
Touma: Oh…
Touma (thinking): Why can’t she be his girlfriend? What a pity.
Futaba: Then, please wait a while…
Page 16
Touma (looks)
Narumi: I’ll come back soon. When do you take a break?
Touma (thinking): I feel as if that fellow is quite the smooth operator, always seeking favor everywhere, like a playboy kind of? I don’t like it at all.
Futaba: Sorry for the wait.
Touma: Yoshioka-san.
Page 17
Touma: Today, after all this, our band will perform…
Futaba: Eh? Kikuchi-kun is in a band?
Touma: It’s just a temporary thing for the cultural festival. (But we’ve practiced a lot for it.)
Futaba: What does Kikuchi-kun play?
Touma: Bass, and I sing a little bit too. (So) Yoshioka-san, will you come see it?
Futaba: When does it start?
Touma’s friend: Ah, please come. (Definitely.)
Page 18
Touma: 2:30.
Futaba: Ah, that’s just when I get a break.
Touma: So it’s OK then?
Futaba: Umm…
Futaba (thinking): Kou will definitely go hang out with Narumi-san…
Futaba: Got it! Starts at 2:30!
Touma: That’s right, and it’s at the gym.
Narumi: Hey--- Hey--- What’s this?
Kou: Isn’t it pretty good?
Narumi: …
Page 19
Shuuko (thinking): It really was pretty heavy after all.
Page 20
Kominato: Give it to me, I’ll take it. Just help me carry this. You should get one of the guys to help you with stuff like this.
Shuuko (thinking): He’s wearing that and still thinking of himself as a guy?
Shuuko: Everyone looks pretty busy, and I had some spare time… Thanks, I understand.
Page 21
Kominato: Tanaka (sensei) told me to come help you.
Shuuko: Tanaka-sensei?!
Shuuko (thinking): That was loud.
Shuuko: Umm… Eh, my throat was a bit scratchy.
Kominato: No… Anyway, I know.
Shuuko: ? You know what?
Page 22
Kominato: I was saying, I know whom the person that I like likes.
Shuuko: Huh…
Shuuko (thinking): It can’t be that he realized it…!? And this is the first time he used the word “like” too… The first time…
Page 23
Shuuko: I think Kominato-kun is a good person…
Kominato: Hey, wait a second! That wasn’t a confession just now.
Shuuko: !?
Kominato: I’m not ready right now, so I don’t want to do it in a hurry and then have to face the finality of it all. So that wasn’t a confession just now.
Page 24
Kominato: That’s why from now on I will display a better side to you. Just wait a little longer for me please.
Shuuko (thinking): A confession preview. (That’s pretty new.)
Shuuko: Kominato-kun is quite crafty.
Page 25
Kominato: But I’m also not a bad guy. Well then, I’ll be going first!
Shuuko (thinking): He’s changed, that person.
Page 26
Tanaka: Ah, you’re just in time Kominato… Murao is carrying something really heavy down there. You should go help her.
Kominato: Why do you want me to go? Is this right? Aren’t we rivals?
Page 27
Tanaka: Rivals? Aren’t rivals supposed to be on the same level as each other? Looking at our circumstances, there’s no way I would ever lose to you.
Kominato: You… You… My skin is more elastic than yours, ojisan!
Tanaka: Skin… more elastic…!!

Kou: Eh? Weren’t you going to go advertising? Where’s the sign?
Kominato: Kou. I am going to try harder. Will you also try harder?!
Kou: ? Thanks for the encouragement?
Futaba: Goodbye, Kikuchi-kun.
Page 29
Touma’s friend: Touma?
Touma: It’s at 2:30. I’ll be waiting for you.
Kominato: I won’t lose. I definitely… won’t lose to someone like that…
Page 30
Yuuri: There’s still quite some time until it’s 2:30. Should we go walk around somewhere?
Shuuko: Let’s go find something to eat.
Yuuri: I heard that there are a lot of people who confess during the night festival…
Futaba: Confess…
Yuuri: It seems like everyone’s moods are influenced by the festival’s atmosphere.
Page 31
Shuuko: About that, I don’t want you to worry, but delicate girls like Narumi-san are hard to deal with…
Futaba: …I feel as if I can understand that, just a little.
Page 32
Narumi: Are you looking for someone? (You’ve been looking around all night.)
Kou: No, it’s nothing… There’s a place I want to go.
Page 33
Sign: Gymnasium
Futaba: Ah, great. We’re on time.
Yuuri: There are a lot of people here…
Futaba: This really feels like a cultural festival. How wonderful.
Page 34
Touma: Yoshioka-san.
Futaba: Huh?
Touma: Ah, crap. My microphone is on.
Page 35
Futaba: Yahoo…
People: Ahahahaha… Nice going, Kikuchi---
Narumi: Ah.
Page 36
Narumi: Wait a second, Kou-chan.
Futaba: Kou?
Narumi: I said, Kou-chan…
Kou: Ah, sorry.
Futaba: Huh… “Kou-chan” ?
Text: Blinks
Page 37
Futaba (thinking): She called him… “Kou-chan” …
Page 38
Futaba (thinking): It’s really loud…
Yuuri: It’s pretty good. It feels like he’s a completely different person.
Page 39
Futaba (thinking): I feel as if I really don’t want to see… (her speaking in Kou’s ear.)
Yuuri: Don’t you think Kikuchi-kun is staring at Futaba a lot---?
Text Bubbles: Reaaaally--- I don’t think so--- Who knows---?
Page 40
Futaba (thinking): How does Narumi-san see Kou? How did she see him in middle school? And now?
Shuuko: Delicate girls like Narumi-san are hard to deal with…
Narumi: Ah… It’s still Narumi.
Kou: Right now, I can understand what she’s going through better than anyone.
Futaba (thinking): And from now on?
Page 41
Futaba (thinking): Before things change like that, I need to act. This is such a tricky matter.
Yuuri: I heard that there are a lot of people who confess during the night festival…
Futaba (thinking): Confess. Night festival.
Page 42
Futaba (thinking): The night festival?! But that’s today?! That’s too fast!! But the festival’s atmosphere can help me!! I should do it. But even so, it’s still unlikely… But this is a really important moment!!
Kou: Strange… Is she not feeling well?
Page 43
Kou: Hey…
Futaba: Hm?!
Page 44
Ah?

Ah?
