Translation by Jo

COVER:
What are you thinking?
Even though I want to ask, I can't ask.

PAGE 1
Futaba: I don't think that the fact that Narumi-san is here is something good for Kou.
Teacher: Next up is... um... Mabuchi! What's this? He's out today too. Is he sick?
Futaba: So that's why...
Futaba: For Kou, I'll...

PAGE 2
Kominato: Narumi-chi situation is... um...
Kominato: What I heard is...
Kominato: Kou's aware that Narumi-chi likes him.
Kominato: But when they met at Narumi-chi's dad's funeral...
Kominato: ... she said that she didn't feel anything towards him anymore. So Kou also said that he thinks he's okay with sticking to her. (small text: And he talked about Narumi-chi's home problems like before.)
Yuuri: When she said she didn't feel anything towards him, I didn't think much about it...

PAGE 3:
Kominato: You think she got jealous when she saw how well Yoshioka and Kou were getting along?
Yuuri: THAT'S... just... it's not that I don't understand that she doesn't have that state of mind... (small text: but...)
Shuuko: You think so...?
Shuuko: I don't think it's that.
Shuuko: Narumi-san's already a little (can't read) but...
Shuuko: Well, whatever he does, Mabuchi i
Touma: ...
Uchimiya: Hey, hey...

PAGE 4
Uchimiya: Weren't you the one who told us not to spy on other people? (small text: Toumaaa!)
Touma: It's because I can hear Yoshioka-san!
Uchimiya (thinking): It's probably a scene you can't help but check out, huh.
Futaba: Anyways...
Futaba: I feel that Kou being with Narumi-san isn't really a good thing!
Futaba: So that's why...
Futaba: I'll...

PAGE 5
Futaba: Then I'll be going on ahead!
Yuuri: Are you really going to go, Futaba-chan?
Shuuko: You don't know if you can even meet up with Narumi-san...
Futaba: But... I think that since Kou's out, today's my chance.
Futaba: See you!

PAGE 6
Uchimiya: Oh... Touma...
Uchimiya: She's here.
Touma: Yoshioka-san!
Futaba: Oh, Kikuchi-kun! Bye!
Touma: Uh...

PAGE 7
Touma: Wait!
Futaba: Huh? What is it?
Touma (thinking): Crap... I have no excuse... but just before I heard what she said on the roof...
Futaba: "That's why I'll"
Futaba: "look for Narumi-san today..."
Touma (thinking): I kind of don't want her to go...

PAGE 8
Touma: What should I do?
Touma: Um, you know...
Futaba: Yeah?
Touma: Uh...
Touma: We have band practice today... so if you want to, do you want to come watch?
Uchimiya (whispers): It's true that we have band practice, but... what are you going to do by having her watch? (T/N: sorry, I can't read the small text)
Futaba: Sorry, today I have something to do after school...
Touma: But...
Shuuko: Huh? Futaba?

PAGE 9
Shuuko: Are you still here? Weren't you in a rush?
Futaba: Oh, well, yeah, but...
Futaba: See you later, Kikuchi-kun! Until next time!
Everyone: ...

PAGE 10
Yuuri: ...
Uchimiya: Now, then, we'll be leaving too...
Yuuri: Wait a minute. I want to talk to you.
Touma: (gulps)

PAGE 11
Uchimiya (thinking): ... she meant me?! The one getting grilled is me?! (small text: Why?)
Sign: The group that's waiting
Uchimiya (thinking): I wonder if it's that she doesn't approve of Touma... or maybe she's still mad about that time we were buying food...
Yuuri: I'm sorry.

PAGE 12
Uchimiya: What?
Yuuri: It's not really that I think Kikuchi-kun is bad, but... I'm saying now I don't want him to get in Futaba-chan's way...
Yuuri: No, never mind...
Yuuri: It's not... it's not that...
Yuuri: When I personally get an emotional attachment, I'll become upset at Kikuchi-kun and keep him away.
Yuuri: So it's not because I hate Kikuchi-kun...

PAGE 13
Uchimiya (thinking): This girl couldn't have a crush on Touma...?
Yuuri: So, in other words...
Yuuri: I'm so sorry for being rude towards your close friend!
Uchimiya (thinking): Huh? I was wrong...
Yuuri: If I try thinking about it, if it were Futaba-chan or Shuu-chan... I would hate it very much if someone had that kind of (T/N: not sure since I can't read the text very well but I'm guessing "barbaric behavior") towards my own friends. So... I'm sorry...

PAGE 14
Uchimiya: That's it? Were you worried about something like that? (laughs)
Yuuri: "Something like that," you say...
Uchimiya: Well, it's 'cause you said "my personal emotional attachment"!
Uchimiya: I thought you had a crush on Touma! If that's it, I thought you were causing trouble!
Yuuri: Oh, no...
Yuuri: What I'm personally attached to... is an entirely different conversation.
Uchimiya: Hmmm...
Uchimiya (thinking): Oh.

PAGE 15
Uchimiya (thinking): I remember!!
Uchimiya (thinking): She's the girl I saw on the rooftop with Yoshioka-san from before!
Uchimiya (thinking): I'm certain that she was crying about falling in love with the same guy...
Yuuri: "My personal emotional attachment"
Uchimiya (thinking): Ah...
Uchimiya (thinking): She went after him first...
Yuuri: From now on, I won't have that attitude...
Yuuri: ... towards Kikuchi-kun... but...

PAGE 16
Yuuri: Anyways, I'll support Futaba-chan!
Uchimiya: Sure thing!
Uchimiya: And I'll be supporting Touma with all that I can!

PAGE 17
Yuuri: Shuu-chan, thanks for waiting for me!
Shuuko: Are you done talking to him already?
Yuuri: Yup!
Shuuko: Then let's go home, shall we?
Tanaka: Oh.
Tanaka: Heeeeeeey, is Yoshioka theeeeere?
Yuuri: (small text: Ah!) Mr. Tanaka!
Yuuri: Today, Futaba-chan went home already.
Yuuri: Is there something you need from her?
Tanaka: Hmmm... just a bit.
Tanaka (thinking): I just want to thank her for yesterday.

PAGE 18
Tanaka: Well, never mind. Be careful on your way home!
Shuuko: ...

PAGE 19
Futaba (thinking): Wow, my heart is beating...

PAGE 20 (incomplete)
Ninako: (small text: Did you eat already? Then I'll give you half of my meat bun!)
Futaba (thinking): What'll I do if I lose sight of her in this crowd?

PAGE 21
Futaba (thinking): I actually found her! What should I do? I'm scared! But...
Futaba: Narumi-san!

PAGE 22
Futaba: ...
Narumi: ...
Futaba (thinking): Um... how should I start this off?
Narumi: It's about Kou-chan...
Futaba: (gasps)
Narumi: ... right? ... What is it?

PAGE 23
Futaba: ...
Futaba (thinking): There's no doubt that I'm speaking for Kou.
Futaba: Um...
Futaba: I... I want you to let go of Kou.

PAGE 24 (incomplete)
Narumi: Let go, you say?
Futaba: If you're here, then Kou will go back to that time.
Futaba: Kou's still frozen in time, so...

PAGE 25
Narumi: What? No way.
Narumi: Because the only one there for me is Kou-chan.
Narumi: Yoshioka-san, you like Kou-chan too after all, don't you?
Futaba: Uh... you're talking about me... but weren't you the one... who said that you didn't think anything of Kou anymore?

PAGE 26
Narumi: I lied.
Narumi: I've always liked Kou-chan.
Narumi: But I thought that if I don't say that I don't like him anymore, Kou will definitely come talk to me.
Narumi: Now, even if the reason he's with me is because he feels sorry for me, I don't care.
Narumi: No matter what, I want Kou-chan.

PAGE 27
Narumi: If I have to take those measures for that, I'll do anything.
Futaba: But... even if you're keeping him with you because he feels sorry for you... someday you're going to suffer...
Narumi: I don't need your beautiful speech.

PAGE 28
Narumi: If you were in my place, you'd do the same thing as me, right?
Futaba: I... for sympathy...
Narumi: If you feel that way, that's all the more reason for you to give up.

PAGE 29
Narumi: (incomplete)
Futaba: ...
Narumi: Yoshioka-san, you're here right now...
Narumi: ... not because of Kou-chan or me, are you?

PAGE 30
Narumi: Because Kou-chan chose it himself...
Narumi: ... you're desperate and in so much pain that you found a reason like that... just to come pick a fight with me, right?!

PAGE 31
Narumi: About that delusion with Kou-chan being frozen in time when he's with me...
Narumi: I won't extend it!!

PAGE 32
Narumi (thinking): Whatever...
Narumi (thinking): (incomplete, T/N: I got lazy and didn't translate this, sorry)
Narumi (thinking): For me...
Narumi (thinking): ... I don't need anyone but Kou-chan...
Futaba: ...
Narumi: "You're here not because of Kou-chan or me, are you?"

PAGE 33
Futaba (thinking): She's probably... right...
Futaba: Telling Narumi-san not to be with Kou wasn't for his sake.
Futaba: I don't have any proof.
Futaba: I'm just being delusional...

PAGE 34
Futaba: I just can't make up a good reason why I should give up.

PAGE 35
Futaba (thinking): I wonder if Narumi-san told Kou about yesterday...
Kou: Yoshioka...
Futaba (thinking): (T/N: I'll have to get off in a bit so I'll be leaving stuff out that I can't translate really fast. Here she complains that she looked stupid.)
Kou: You know...
Futaba (thinking): How embarrassing! I can't even face Kou.
Futaba (thinking): (incomplete)

PAGE 36:
Kou: ...

PAGE 37
Kou: You're the one who asked me if I didn't want to talk to you and got mad. What's up with that?
Kou: What do you want me to do?

PAGE 38
Kou: If you don't want to talk to me, then I won't talk to you anymore. Just say that.
Futaba (thinking): Huh? ... Kou...
Futaba (thinking): It can't be that Narumi-san didn't tell him anything?
Futaba (thinking): But if she did...

PAGE 39
Futaba (thinking): Would Kou just think I'm being delusional too?
Futaba (thinking): Does he really think he's frozen in time?

PAGE 40
Student: Hey, hey! Just now Mr. Tanaka got called out of his room!
Student: Huh? What'd Tanaka do?
Student: I think I heard that Mr. Tanaka's dating a girl from our school!
Student: (small text: Dude, seriously? Mr. Tanaka?)
Speaker: Futaba Yoshioka from class 2-2, please come to the principal's office immediately.

PAGE 41
Futaba: What?! (small text: Me?)
Speaker: I repeat, Futaba Yoshioka from class 2-2.
Speaker: To the principal's office.

EDIT: THE HELLA TIRED NOW. WHY AM I SUCH A MACHOSISTIC. WHYYY. Anyway, thanks to the awesome people over the aoharaido tumblr, we got the chinese scans  for ch 25 (Thanks to Tham who reuploaded the pics and chy that made a translation. I don't know if I can post it here, but here goes the link: [HERE] , as most of you have already checked.


Here's a word-for-word translation for this chapter 25 ~
Sorry if there's some, uh, mistake

Futaba's thoughts: 'Being with Narumi-san... I don't think its a good thing for Kou'

Sensei: Absentees for today are... Mabuchi? He's absent today AGAIN? Huh, he caught a cold?

Futaba's thoughts: That's why I must, For Kou's sake...

---

Kominato: Information about Narumi-chan, huh... Hmm - This is what I know: It seems that Kou knew that she liked him in the past, but when they met at her father's funeral, the Narumi-chan at that time said she had already completely gave up on Kou, so he thinks it's OK if they keep this relationship they have.

Yuuri: Although it's unexpected that she said something like "completely gave up"... Narumi-san is ...

---

Kominato: Can it be that after seeing Yoshioka and Kou hit off well together, she felt reluctant?

Yuuri: How can that ... be; To be honest, it's not like I don't understand... that kind of feeling... but...

Murao: There's a possibility... Putting that aside for now, although Narumi-san gives an impression that she has the brain, Mabuchi never gets better at this kind of thing -sigh-

???: Hey, wait up

---

Uchimiya (I don't really know his name???): Didn't you tell us not to do things like eavesdropping last time? Touma ~~

Touma: That's cause I heard Yoshioka-san's voice *I keep feeling as though this kind of thing has happened before...*

Futaba: Anyway, I don't think its good for Kou to be with Narumi-san. That's why, I...

---

Sensei: Extracurricular activities end here

Student: Rise ~ Bow ~

Futuba: Then... I'll be going first.

Yuuri: Are you really going? Futaba-chan

Shuuko: Even though you're unsure if you can successfully meet up with Narumi-san...

Futaba: But I think it's a good chance since Kou isn't here today. See you

---

Uchimiya(just slap me if I'm wrong): Ah, Touma, she's over there

Touma: Yoshioka-san!

Futaba: Ah Kikuchi-kun Bye bye!

Touma: Ah

---

Touma: Wait up!

Futaba: Eh What's wrong?

Touma's thoughts: ' Crap. I did this without any proper thought. But hearing that conversation on the roof earlier

--- Futuba in his flashback: That's why I... want to look for Narumi-san to talk today ---

I don't want her to go...

---

Touma's thoughts: 'What should I do'
You know

Futaba: Yeah?

Touma: That... We have band practise today so if you're free, can you come and watch!?

The-Three's-Little-Convo [in order]: We do have band practise today, but how are we gonna do that with her around... 
Wah, it's as though he's desperate
Listen attentively, we may get some good suggestions

Futaba: Sorry, but I have something on today...

Touma: But...

???: Eh? Futaba?

---

Shuuko: You're still here? Weren't you in a rush?

Futaba: Ah Yeah, you're right

-Touma releases her hand -

Futaba: -realises- See you Kikuchi-kun I'll come watch next time!

-silence (LOL I LOVE THIS MOMENT)-

---

The boys: *nervous* The situation's a bit weird...?
-quick steps- Well then, we should get going too Right!

Yuuri: Hold on I have something I want to tell you

Touma FLINCHES (HAHAHA)

---

Uchimiya (once again, slap me if I'm wrong)'s thoughts: -- EH, me!? I'm the one getting lectured!? Why?

--- Meanwhile you see the "waiting teams" ---

Uchimiya (JUST SLAP ME)'s thoughts: Is it because she can't stand Touma's actions after all... Or is she angry about the pushing at the food queue a while back...

Yuuri: I'm sorry

-SHOCK (IKR)-

---

Uchimiya: Eh? (I know how you feel bro)

Yuuri: It's not like Kikuchi-kun is the type of person that's disliked...
I guess it's something like not wanting him to interfere with Futaba-chan's plans...
Wait, no, that's not right... It's not... It's not like that

Uchimiya: ? ? ? (lol)

Yuuri: It's just my cranky thoughts - getting angry at what Kikuchi-kun was doing and avoiding (isolating?) him on purpose
So it's not like I hate him or anything...

---

Uchimiya (I can't stand thinking the fact I keep getting the names wrong)'s thoughts: Can it be that she towards Touma's actions... ?

Yuuri: What I'm trying to say is; even though he's your important friend, my attitude towards him was really terrible! I'M REALLY SORRY (just let me emphasise you bis I'm the translator here :p /kickslapshot)

Uchimiya: Hah ? Seriously

Yuuri: Thinking about it, if it was either Shuuko-chan, Futaba-chan, me, or any one of our friends being treated like harmful germs (arrow reads "So mean") It won't feel very nice ...

---

Uchimiya: What's with that ~ You were actually worried about that kind of thing, huh? Hahaha~

Yuuri: Saying something like this, you...

Uchimiya: Well, because you said something like "My cranky thoughts"... so I was wondering if you liked Touma or something and what he's doing is affecting you - or so

Yuuri: Ah -- it's not like that. What my cranked thoughts are (I just had to use this; it sounds so cool! Its something like "What these cranky thoughts") about something else...

Uchimiya: Oh
'Ah I remember now!! This was the person earlier on the roof with Yoshioka-san! It links up with what's happening today. I think it was because they liked the same person and was crying over it'
Yuuri's words flashed on his mind: 'My cranked thoughts'
'Ah -- she's giving up?'

Yuuri: From today onwards, I won't use that kind of attitude to face Kikuchi-kun... but

---

Yuuri: Either way, I'm supporting Futaba-chan's decision

Uchimiya: I understand! Even so, I'll continue supporting Touma

-smile smile-

(What? A possible romance?)

---

Yuuri: Shuu-chan, you've waited ~

Shuuko: You're done talking?

Yuuri: Yup ~ (so happy lol)

Shuuko: Lets head back then --

Tanaka-sensei (out-of-da-blue): Ah Hey -- Did you see Yoshioka ~ ?

Yuuri: Tanaka-sensei! Futaba-chan's already off for today. Is there anything on?

Tanaka-sensei: Eh Just a little something 
'I want to thank her for yesterday'

---

Tanaka-sensei: Forget it, it's nothing. Be careful on your way back ~

(and the sweet moment... *^*)

---

Futaba is nervous~: 'Ah~~~ ... My heart is going doki-doki'

---

Futaba's still nervous: 'Just because Narumi-san's changing trains, I actually ran all the way to the station plus I have to argue (oh I'm glad you know that) I'm so nervous my heart can jump out of my mouth any moment 

--- Background with a couple ... lol looks a bit like those two from Hiyokoi ---

'What should I do if she has already passed by?' -looks left & right-
'What if I missed her in this crowd...'

---

(PANG! You see her now, Futaba!)
FX: BA-THUMP

Futaba's thoughts: 'I've really found her. What now? This is so scary, but'
(her heartbeat is really scary)
Calls out: Narumi-san!


--
Let's end Part 2 here and I'll continue part 3 tmr... just to be mean :p /kickslapshot actually I'm going to sleep! 
PS. I'm a Sadist just like Sakisaka-sensei so I'll leave cliffhangers
