<1756> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Let's hurry to the cafeteria!"

<1757> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Okay!"

<1758>
// This is seriously bad...!

<1759>
// The school gates are still a distance away from me.

<1760> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Tch..."

<1761>
// Going to the reference room is still much safer, huh...

<1762>
// Rattle...

<1763>
// I stoop my body by the window near the courtyard and wait for a while.

<1764>
// There doesn't seem to be a response from inside.

<1765>
// It seems the teachers aren't around for now.

<1766>
// Using the window frame as a fulcrum, I leapt myself into the reference room.

<1767> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Welcome."

<1768> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<1769>
// She meets me with a smile.

<1770> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "What's wrong?"

<1771> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nothing... just a bit surprised."

<1772> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you like some lunch again?"

<1773> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Y-Yeah..."

<1774> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then I'll make some. Today is curry pilaf."

<1775> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay..."

<1776>
// Miyazawa shrugs happily as she carries a frying pan and frozen pilaf towards the portable stove.

<1777>
// I catch my breath, taking a nearby chair and sitting down.

<1778> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You're having a hard time, right?"

<1779> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<1780> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "The teachers found you, didn't they?"

<1781> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How do you know that?"

<1782> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "One of them came here earlier, asking if any suspicious people came around."

<1783> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Suspicious people, huh."

<1784>
// Well, going around in ordinary clothes while lessons are running is kind of suspicious.

<1785> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, how did you know it was me?"

<1786> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's just a feeling I had."

<1787>
// She looks at me over her shoulder and says that while she holds the frying pan.

<1788> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm done!"

<1789>
// She turns off the portable stove.

<1790>
// She then puts a plate of pilaf which is covered with the smell of curry on the table.

<1791> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Help yourself."

<1792> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thank you."

<1793>
// I take a spoon to the dish.

<1794>
// Miyazawa takes another seat, and just like yesterday she keeps on staring at me.

<1795>
// We had a special kind of relationship.

<1796>
// Even though Miyazawa might be seeing me as her brother right now...

<1797>
// It doesn't mean that she doesn't see me as the opposite sex.

<1798> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Not supposed to be like that...)

<1799>
// I hide my embarrassment by stuffing myself with pilaf.

<1800> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is it good?"

<1801> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<1802> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm glad."

<1803> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I somehow feel bad always making you feed me."

<1804> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's okay, please don't worry about it. It's something I like to do, anyway."

<1805> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I should be thanking you somehow."

<1806> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If you feel the food tastes good, that would be the best way to thank me."

<1807> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you fine with that?"

<1808> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes. That should be enough."

<1809> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, you don't want to sleep on my lap anymore?"

<1810> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Eh?"

<1811>
// I give a smirk as I say that.

<1812> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, that's... well..."

<1813> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'd like it..."

<1814> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I feel really at ease... and it's warm..."

<1815> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That's why..."

<1816>
// I put my hand on top of the stuttering Miyazawa.

<1817> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, once I've finished my food."

<1818> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah..."

<1819> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay."

<1820>
// She nods happily, blushing.

<1821>
// It was a peaceful moment.

<1822>
// The faint aroma of curry in a room with two people.

<1823>
// No words are spoken.

<1824>
// But there was warmth.

<1825>
// It's not like both of us are in contact yet... 

<1826>
// Even then, we could feel each other's warmth.

<1827>
// But it's not enough.

<1828>
// Instead...

<1829>
// It tightens my chest more...

<1830>
// I wonder if I'm not satisfied...

<1831>
// What... I wonder what I want...?

<1832>
// Will I always be her brother's substitute...?

<1833> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... \m{B}-san?"

<1834> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<1835>
// Miyazawa was staring at me from my lap.

<1836> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You didn't sleep?"

<1837> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "No."

<1838>
// She nods, blushing.

<1839> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... I see..."

<1840> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "What are you thinking about, \m{B}-san?"

<1841> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What... you say?"

<1842>
// Miyazawa slowly raised her body and turns to look at me.

<1843> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You were blankly looking at the space."

<1844> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Are you worried about something?"

<1845> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's nothing like that at all."

<1846> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you feel at ease if you say it?"

<1847> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I wonder about that..."

<1848>
// I smile.

<1849>
// It could break me apart if I say it.

<1850>
// It might end everything if I say it through my lips.

<1851>
// It probably has something to do with the time now...

<1852>
// Her friends that gather around here must surely know about that.

<1853>
// And they should be pretty patient people.

<1854>
// Ding, dong, dang, dong...

<1855> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It seems that lunch break is over..."

<1856> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, it is."

<1857>
// Miyazawa slowly raised her body up and stands up out of the chair and made a stretch.

<1858>
// I also do the same, stretching my body to relieve myself.

<1859> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "\m{B}-san."

<1860> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"

<1861> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "About tomorrow... will you come again?"

<1862> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, if it isn't a problem..."

<1863> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If you can, by all means."

<1864> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Though I know you'll be having a hard time if the teachers see you... I still want you to come."

<1865> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...? I don't really understand why, but I'll come."

<1866> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Thank you very much."

<1867>
// She says that and puts her hand to her chest as if she's relieved.

<1868> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll make sure I won't be found out by the teachers tomorrow."

<1869> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes. But please, don't overdo things."

<1870> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<1871>
// She lowers her head and smiles at my answer.

<1872>
// The main bell rings, and I become alone in the reference room. 

<1873>
// I checked the situation a little bit so I wonder if I should leave school.

<1874>
// I grab an old magazine to kill some time and sit on a chair.

<1875>
// Rattle...

<1876> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<1877>
// The sound of the window being opened.

<1878>
// Someone's coming again, so I stare at the window for a while.

<1879>
// A familiar blonde-haired head sprung up.

<1880> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Sunohara...?"

<1881> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "... Yo..."

<1882> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You just came now? Lunch break's already over, you know."

<1883> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I came during lunch break."

<1884> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<1885> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's not like I could just barge in with that kind of atmosphere."

<1886>
// Sunohara sulks as he says that.

<1887> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... How long have you been watching us?"

<1888> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Around the time Yukine-chan was lying down her head in your lap."

<1889> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<1890>
// Seems he saw everything...

<1891> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Damn it~... though I know you're just being a substitute for her brother, I'm still jealous."

<1892> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Or rather, it's definitely worrisome if someone saw all of that."

<1893> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What do you mean?"

<1894> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I mean, you might someday turn into a wolf for going after Yukine-chan's weakness."

<1895> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What stupid words... I wouldn't be able to walk on the street from that day on if I do that."

<1896> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That's probably true."

<1897>
// If I think about Miyazawa's friends who come here to adore her, I surely won't be able to do that.

<1898>
// To be honest, letting her sleep in my lap is walking the thin red line...

<1899> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "So, what will you be doing tomorrow?"

<1900> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You were listening well, weren't you..."

<1901> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I was just watching you if you're going to pull something strange."

<1902> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm not gonna."

<1903> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The result wouldn't be like that, huh."

<1904> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, if it was me, I think I wouldn't be able to control myself."

<1905>
// He says that without any pride and shrugs his shoulders.

<1906> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Oh...? What is it that you wouldn't be able to control?"

<1907>
// A grim voice echoed in the room.

<1908> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Eh?! Eh?! Where?!"

<1909>
// I also look around in confusion.

<1910>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Here."

<1911>
// And under the table is the stern looking man making an appeareance.

<1912>
// Sunohara's face cramps up. I also take a step back.

<1913> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "S-since when were you?!"

<1914>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Ah~... man... I've been chatting with Yukine since the beginning of lunch break..."

<1915>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "A staff member suddenly came, so I ended up hiding."

<1916>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "And after that, you came."

<1917>
// He glares at me with a glitter.

<1918>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Beyond that, you made an atmosphere the same as yesterday..."

<1919>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "So I couldn't just come out... Damn it..."

<1920>
// I... I didn't notice...

<1921>
// So it means...? That while Miyazawa was sleeping on my lap, this guy is just at my feet, hiding...?

<1922>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Yukine is Yukine too... she's completely forgotten about me..."

<1923>
// He stretches and hits his hips that must be aching from squatting for a long time with his fist.

<1924>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "... Well..."

<1925>
// Letting his shoulders rest, he breathes on Sunohara... no, he glares at him.

<1926>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "What is it that you wouldn't be able to control, huh?"

<1927> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "E-Eek! T-T-That's... well..."

<1928>
// Sunohara motions his eyes at me, appealing me to save him.

<1929> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Isn't it becoming a wolf?"

<1930> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Guaah, damn you, \m{A}-!"

<1931>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Hey blondie! Come here for a bit!"

<1932> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hey wait, don't pull my clothes, they'll rip... hey, to the window?!"

<1933>
// The man drags Sunohara by the scruff and heads towards the window.

<1934>
// Several second after they disappeared from the window frame...

<1935> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uwaahh..."

<1936>
// A striking sound which is hard to put into words echoes around...

<1937>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Whew... man..."

<1938>
// After he's done, the man straddles back into the room.

<1939> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Where's Sunohara?"

<1940> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Feeling this pain means I'm alive, right...?"

<1941>
// I saw a trembling hand accompanied by a faint voice beyond the window.

<1942>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Well...?"

<1943>
// The voice of the man turning around.

<1944>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "You'll be coming tomorrow too, right?"

<1945> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... 'Too?' Speaking of that, what's the occasion tomorrow?"

<1946>
// If I think about it very well, Miyazawa told me that first.

<1947>
// He answered me with sorrowful eyes as I asked that question.

<1948>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "... You'll know if you come."

<1949>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Well, you shouldn't look like an idiot getting chased around by the staff like you were today." 

<1950> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I won't."

<1951> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides, all of you will come tomorrow too?"

<1952>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Ah? Well, yeah."

<1953>
// So it means, it's not like she invited me specially because it's me.

<1954>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "What? Why do you have that disappointed look on your face?"

<1955> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm not really disappointed."

<1956>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Perhaps, you were thinking 'it's not like I'm the only one she specially invited.'"

<1957> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Ugh..."

<1958>
// The way he's so accurate bothers me.

<1959>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "... I think you're pretty special, you know..."

<1960> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<1961>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "You're special since you were invited despite being outside the group."

<1962> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is something happening tomorrow?"

<1963>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "........."

<1964>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "... You'll know if you come..."

<1965>
// He says that as he walks towards the window.

<1966> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're heading back?"

<1967>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Hmm? Well, Yukine ain't coming back here today."

<1968>
// He puts his leg through the window, and turns my way.

<1969>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "See you tomorrow."

<1970>
// So he informs me quickly, and then leaves through the window.

<1971> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Gyaah!"

<1972>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Ah, my bad, stepped on you there."

<1973> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<1974> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow ow ow..."

<1975>
// Sunohara groans as he soaks his face in a towel.

<1976> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Seems painful."

<1977> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's freaking painful!"

<1978> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Since it made a loud sound."

<1979> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It would have been better if you saved me!"

<1980> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, I didn't really feel like doing it."

<1981> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Just do it a bit! We're friends!"

<1982> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ahahahahahaha!"

<1983> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hey, should you even be laughing at this part?!"

<1984> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's the part where I shouldn't really agree, right?"

<1985> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I'll cry..."

<1986> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Cry all you want."

<1987>
// I totally flat out refused him as I take out a magazine.

<1988>
// Sunohara starts to cry in sorrow.

<1989> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Sunohara."

<1990> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Sniff... what... I don't need your comfort now..."

<1991> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're an eyesore so why don't you go cry further in the corner." 

<1992> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You sure don't have blood or tears, do you?!"

<1993> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, take it as a joke."

<1994> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "... Was that really a joke?"

<1995> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The chance of it being a joke is less than 1%."

<1996> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Sniff... sniff... sniff, sniff..."

<1997>
// He started his sorrowful cry again.

<1998>
// I'll ignore him for now and advance our topic.

<1999> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What do you think about tomorrow?"

<2000> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Sniff... no way I'd know... sniff..."

<2001> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... I guess so..."

<2002>
// Even if I say so myself, I was stupid to ask...

<2003> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "...Sniff ...sniff, sniff... sniff, sniff..."

<2004> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... It's depressing even if you're in the corner, so could you please leave the room?"

<2005> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "This is my room!"

<2006>
// Yukine

<2007>
// The third day of suspension from school...

<2008>
// Technically, it's still house arrest up to today.

<2009>
// Thump...

<2010> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Umph."

<2011>
// I change into my school uniform and adjust my necktie.

<2012>
// This is my answer to yesterday's mistake.

<2013>
// Blend in with the people during lunch break.

<2014>
// Even if the teachers find me, it'll probably be all right.

<2015>
// I look at my watch. It's about time.

<2016>
// When I arrive during lunch break, the school is filled with energy.

<2017>
// I give an innocent look as I walk.

<2018>
// Though I'm being suspended, I think only a few people would recognize both my name and face.

<2019>
// No one should suspect me, and all thanks to the uniform I'm wearing.

<2020> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Eh? You've been cleared from suspension, \m{A}?"

<2021>
// Found out by a classmate, I remain silent as I dash away from him.

<2022>
// I guess it's better to pay a little bit of attention to my surroundings...

<2023>
// Rattle...

<2024>
// I open the door to see Miyazawa sitting down in a chair.

<2025>
// She immediately lifts her head to see me.

<2026> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah..."

<2027> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yo, I'm here."

<2028> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, thank you very much."

<2029>
// She bows her head with a smile.

<2030> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you like to have lunch?"

<2031> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yes, please."

<2032> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Do you have any requests?"

<2033> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, how about omelet rice?"

<2034> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay, understood."

<2035>
// She nods and smile then takes out the frying pan and moves toward the portable stove.

<2036> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You actually can?!"

<2037> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes. The chicken rice inside would be from the usual frozen food though." 

<2038>
// She takes out the cooler box she gets pilaf from all the time, and instead pulls out a package of chicken rice.

<2039>
// And then, two eggs.

<2040> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "When you first came here, \m{B}-san, you asked for omelet rice, and so I made preparations so I'll be able to make it if you say it again."

<2041> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It would have been better if you said so..."

<2042> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "No, the food tastes best the moment when you think you want to eat it."

<2043> \{\m{B}} ""

<2045> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You'll build up a lot of cholesterol."

<2046> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm still young, so it's okay."

<2047>
// She gives a sweet smile as she says that.

<2048>
// She skillfully makes the omelet rice.

<2049>
// It may be frozen food, but on the outside it looks homemade.

<2050>
// It has a different flavor from before, so it became a first-class lunch.

<2051> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay, I'm done."

<2052>
// She places a paper dish with omelet rice in front of me.

<2053> \{\m{B}} ""

<2054> \{Miyazawa} ""

// \{Miyazawa} "Ahaha, please, help yourself."

<2057> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<2058>
// I take a convenience store spoon in my hand and eat the steaming omelet rice.

<2059> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "\m{B}-san."

<2060> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"

<2061> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "After you're done with your meal, there's something I'd like to ask of you."

<2062> \{\m{B}} ""

<2063> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What is it? Lying on my lap?"

<2065> \{\m{B}} ""

<2066> \{Miyazawa} ""

<2067> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2068> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pouring in genki dama?"

<2069> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That's okay too."

<2070>
// Miyazawa giggles as she smiles.

<2071> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But today would be bit different."

<2072> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I don't mind doing it if it isn't embarrassing."

<2073> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "........."

<2074>

<2075> \{\m{B}} ""

<2076> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Eh, um, haha, a little."

<2077> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How bad is it compared to the genki dama?"

<2078> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's a hundred times worse, I think."

<2079> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... How is it 'a little'..."

<2080>
// Speaking of which... I wonder what she wants me to do...?

<2081> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, it should have an immediate effect."

<2082> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Well... you made omelet rice so there's no way I can refuse..."

<2083> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If you don't like it, I don't mind if you don't want to."

<2084> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll think about what to do once I hear it."

<2085>
// I say that as I eat the omelet rice.

<2086>
// I quickly finish up the last remaining pieces...

<2087>
// And then--...

<2088> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thanks for the food."

<2089> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It was nothing."

<2090>
// I finished eating.

<2096> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... Umm..."

<2097> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "........."

<2098> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... Please... hold me..."

<2099> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "?!?!"

<2100>
// I suddenly look around the room with those words.

<2101>
// I imagined all of my hair standing up all of a sudden.

<2102>
// I wonder if anyone heard that?

<2103>
// There's no one hiding under the desk just like yesterday, right?

<2104>
// There's no one outside the window, right?

<2105> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I want to do that thing from before." 

<2106> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Ah... You mean holding you?" 

<2107> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes."

<2108>
// She nods, her face blushing heavily.

<2109>
// I felt a little relieved.

<2110> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then, we'll close our eyes together, and chant 'Look Ahead, Look Ahead, Look Ahead' three times in our mind."

<2111> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What kind of effect does this have?"

<2112> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You'd become stronger for today."

<2113> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And no matter what happens, you won't lose yourself..."

<2114> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You won't get distracted and you'll be able to stand straight..."

<2115> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You'll be able to hold on."

<2116> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2117> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Can I ask you for help with this?"

<2118> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Is it all right if I hug you?"

<2119> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is it all right...?"

<2120>
// I respond by spreading out both my hands slowly.

<2121>
// Miyazawa smiles as she sees that.

<2122> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, if you don't mind..."

<2123>
// She slowly walks straight in front of me.

<2124>
// And then, just like before, she places her head on my shoulder.  

<2125>
// I slowly close my arms around her.

<2126>
// And gently wrap up that small body of hers as if I'm embracing her warmth tightly so it won't escape.

<2127> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Please close your eyes."

<2128> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay."

<2129>
// Saying that, I close them.

<2130>
// A dark world...

<2131>
// I think to myself as if the warmth in my arms was the only thing that existed.

<2132>
// I can hear Miyazawa's heartbeat throughout my body.

<2133>
// My heartbeat also begins to race, which is a little bit embarrassing.

<2134>
// The smell of her soft hair is making me dizzy...

<2135>
// Yeah... this is certainly embarrassing when she said it was...

<2136> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "In your mind..."

<2137>
// She surprised me with her sudden words.

<2138>
// Miyazawa's warmth almost made me forget my purpose...

<2139> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... Please chant it three times in your mind."

<2140>
// Look Ahead, Look Ahead, Look Ahead...

<2141>
// I chant it three times in my mind...

<2142>
// A peaceful and quiet spell.

<2143>
// How long should I hold her like this...?

<2144>
// Is it okay to let go now...?

<2145>
// But, it doesn't seem like Miyazawa will let go any moment now.

<2146>
// My lips touched her hair as I slowly retreat my chin.

<2147>
// I softly pushed my lips at her head so she wouldn't notice.

<2148>
// It's ticklish...

<2149>
// It's soft...

<2150>
// She smells nice...

<2151>
// I wonder what would happen if a colleague of hers saw us...

<2152>
// This really is a life threatening spell...

<2153>
// Ding, dong, dang, dong...

<2154> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2155> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "........."

<2156>
// The bell echoes, indicating the end of lunch break.

<2157>
// I let my arms go from Miyazawa, though I regret losing that warmth.

<2158> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Miyazawa...?"

<2159>
// But Miyazawa didn't move away.

<2160>
// Her head was still placed at my shoulder as if she's stiffened.

<2161> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Lunch break is over."

<2162> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... Yes..."

<2163> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You have to return to class."

<2164> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "........."

<2165> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Miyazawa...?"

<2166> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm leaving early today."

<2167> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<2168> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "There's a place I have to go to now."

<2169> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I want to take you there, \m{B}-san..."

<2170> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And also, I want you to come there today."

<2171> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Where are we going?"

<2172> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "........."

<2173>
// Miyazawa slightly frowns at the question.

<2174>
// A smile filled with sadness and loneliness... that kind of face...

<2175> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "... A graveyard."

<2176> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2177>
// After saying that, the smile from her face disappears.

<2178>
// ... It seemed painful... she showed me a facial expression that I haven't seen before.

<2179>
// That spell from before...

<2180>
// Now I understand why she wishes to have strength for today...

<2181> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Today is... the day my brother died."

<2182> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... I see..."

<2183> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm sorry for suddenly telling you something like this..."

<2184> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's okay, I'm at fault for keeping quiet..."

<2185> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "About what?"

<2186> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm... about knowing that your brother had passed away..."

<2187> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Eh?"

<2188> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Another guy came here and told me while you weren't around."

<2189> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "And... he told me that I was certainly similar to your brother."

<2190> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is that so?"

<2191>
// Miyazawa smiles a little bit.

<2192>
// Even then, it was fleeting the way she was just now...

<2193>
// I wished so strongly that her smile would never fade.

<2194>
// I wanted to... hold her.

<2195> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Miyazawa..."

<2196>
// I shortened our distance with a single step.

<2197>
// Rattle...

<2198> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"

<2199> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah..."

<2200>
// I saw the window suddenly open, with two people coming in.

<2201> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "U-umm, I'm sorry for interrupting but..."

<2202> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2203> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Eek! D-don't give me that serious face!"

<2204> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Anyway, it's almost time... and this person is..."

<2205> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This person is...?"

<2206>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "That's how it is."

<2207> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Woah..."

<2208>
// The man from yesterday appeared right beside Sunohara.

<2209>
// And in his hand, he's holding... a flower.

<2210>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Yukine. It's time to go."

<2211>
// The man passed the flower in his hand to Miyazawa as he said that.

<2212> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay."

<2213>
// The blue sky spreading out in the early afternoon.

<2214>
// Sunohara and I walk on the road in our school uniform.

<2215>
// And walking in front of us was the man in normal clothes and Miyazawa...

<2216>
// The guy glares at me with suspicious eyes from time to time as if he's her grandmother, being suspicious. It can't be helped.

<2217>
// Of course, we're normally supposed to be in class at this time.

<2218> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "........."

<2219> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... What is it...?"

<2220> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It looks like you're walking on a tightrope with your life, huh."

<2221> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What do you mean?"

<2222> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "........."

<2223> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I was outside the window during lunchtime."

<2224> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2225>
// So he saw us again...

<2226> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "At the same time, that person was also with me."

<2227> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...? Serious?"

<2228>
// I look at the man walking beside Miyazawa and slowed down my pace.

<2229> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Humans can smash stones just by grabbing it, huh..."

<2230> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2231>
// They saw everything, huh...

<2232>
// I wonder if I can return home alive today...?

<2233> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Hey, Yukine."

<2234> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, Arai-san."

<2235>
// A man from another street came with flowers and calls of Miyazawa.

<2236>
// He didn't look spirited at all.

<2237>
// He only greeted her with a sad facial expression.

<2238> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Yuki-chan."

<2239> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Kusakari-san, you were waiting here?"

<2240>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""

// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, let's do that."

<2242>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "These are the sweets that he liked."

<2243> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Thank you very much. I believe he'd surely be fine with this."

<2244>
// As we continued on the road, the number of people in our group grew.

<2245>
// And they all have a bright and cheerful voice with them, but loneliness is printed somewhere in their facial expression.

<2246> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... It seems everyone here was a friend of Miyazawa's brother..."

<2247> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You're right. Somehow, I'm wondering if it's okay for us to even be here...?"

<2248> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2249>
// We certainly do seem out of place...

<2250>
// Each and every one of the guys gathering around now all had memories of Miyazawa's brother, and came to mourn.

<2251>
// But for someone who I had never met face to face, all I could do was sympathize and say as little as possible.

<2252>
// I wonder why Miyazawa invited me...?

<2253>
// I wonder why she wanted to do that spell that involves holding her...?

<2254>
// It'd be nice if she could at least properly explain her reasons.

<2255>
// It'd also be nice if I change into a clown for being overly self-conscious...

<2256>
// By the time we had arrived at the graveyard, there were already other people gathered there.

<2257>
// Everyone greeted Miyazawa.

<2258>
// Sunohara and I decide to distance ourselves a little further from there and watches the situation.

<2259>
// The people who came to visit left some things in front of the tombstone as they said what they are doing 'now.'

<2260>
// --I'm attending a specialist college right now--

<2261>
// A single incense stick was left there...

<2262>
// --Actually, I have a child now and I'm also married too--

<2263>
// And another one...

<2264>
// --I'm working now, it's physical labor but it's fulfilling--

<2265>
// And another one...

<2266>
// --You always run after our fight even when you're winning, isn't it--

<2267>
// One by one, they increased...

<2268>
// --I wanted to have more fun with you--

<2275> \{\m{B}} ""

<2276>
// I receive it from Miyazawa, and continue in front the grave.

<2277>
// I leave the incense stick in front of the polished and clean tombstone, in the crevice where all the other sticks are. 

<2278>
// Even still, I was careful not to break the others' incense sticks as I put my incense stick together with them.

<2279>
// And then, I put my hands together and close my eyes...

<2280>
// The things I'll tell him...

<2281> \{\m{B}} ""

<2288>
// It's just that everyone in this place gave their attention.

<2289> \{Miyazawa} ""

<2298> \{Miyazawa} ""

<2299> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "My brother became violent when he grew up..."

<2300> \{Miyazawa} ""

<2302> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Even though we were like that, I got along with my brother."

<2303> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "As if we were lovers."

<2304> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And when my brother entered high school, he made a lot of friends, and never came back home."

<2305> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then society started calling him..."

<2306> \{Miyazawa} ""

// \{Miyazawa} "And a lot of people..."

<2335> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Who were friends of his came to his funeral."

<2336> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "They were wearing different uniforms and had a bad attitude..."

<2337> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But even still... all of them looked really serious in front of my brother."

<2338> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "There were people that were crying too..."

<2339> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Those people are, people who have a deep relationship with my brother."

<2340> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That's why, I..."

<2341> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I took the courage and called out to them."

<2342> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Saying that I'm Miyazawa Kazuto's sister..."

<2343> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I talked to them a little..."

<2344> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, I got acquainted with those people who he parted with..."

<2345> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then..."

<2346> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "The people who lived together with the brother that I loved..."

<2347> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Filled the open hole in my heart..."

<2348> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "At that time, I remembered..."

<2349> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's because, these people are..."

<2350> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "They are similar to my brother."

<2351> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Not looking beyond, you'll only see their violent side and not their honest side..."

<2352> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And, they'll show kindness by being reckless for others."

<2353> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "To me... I saw the same thing."

<2354> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, it became difficult as I thought more than that."

<2355> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Because, I was a normal girl..."

<2356> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "My strength is no more than that... I'm someone who's powerless..."

<2357> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I came and went to the place where my brother spent his time."

<2358> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then, I talked to a lot of people around there."

<2359> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I was refused plenty of times."

<2360> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I also made scary memories."

<2361>
// So Miyazawa felt out of place at that time...

<2362>
// And then she thought how weak her existence was.

<2363>
// Even though it was good meeting them by chance...

<2364>
// If so, they should be able to be together.

<2365> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "When winter came, I knitted everyone their own gloves as a present."

<2366> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It acted like a warm sweet red-bean soup as the night became colder."

<2367> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Everyone was really sweet despite having a bad reputation..."

<2368> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "When Christmas came, I brought over homemade cake, and we ate it."

<2369> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I was the only one who looked like Santa..."

<2370> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "We were a bit festive, but..."

<2371> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Even then, everyone... ate it."

<2372> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And while eating we'd make sounds as if understanding each other..."

<2373> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And everyone would be grateful for the food afterward..."

<2374> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then they'd ask if I'd come again..."

<2375> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then a lot of people gathered around me."

<2376> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That gave me a warm feeling..."

<2377> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Before I knew it... that place became a place where my heart feels at ease."

<2378> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It became one of my place..."

<2379>
// As if feeling tired from finishing her speech, Miyazawa closed her eyes.

<2380>
// Or maybe, she's trying to imagine those tender sceneries.

<2381>
// But, if she opens her eyes, that place would be here now too...

<2382>
// ... In this place.

<2383> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Right now, I'm being supported by a lot of people."

<2384>
// It felt like those words intensified everything she said.

<2385>
// Is this how Miyazawa has lived up until now?

<2386> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see... well, you're already all right now, right?"

<2387> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, if I feel anxious because of this, it would be inexcusable to everyone."

<2388> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Because the happiness of being surrounded by people who support you, is surely not everywhere."

<2389> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I guess..."

<2390>
// To support and be supported...

<2391>
// This is surely a cycle...

<2392>
// And before realizing it, you gather a lot of people...

<2393> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I'm one of them, huh...)

<2394>
// I narrowed my eyes as it I was hit by radiant sunlight. 

<2395>
// And from there, a single white light is fluttering over her head just now, as if it was just born.

<2396>
// As if it was watching over her from above.

<2397>
// I stretch my hand out.

<2398>
// The light softly descends, and buries itself into my hand.

<2399>
// It felt warm as it spread out.

<2400>
// As if I shared the same feelings as Miyazawa.

<2401> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I apologize, I was quite serious, wasn't I?"

<2402>
// No one could say anything, even a single word.

<2403>
// They were just standing there with flowers in their hands.

<2404>
// I wonder what kind of feeling everyone is having right now.

<2405>
// They should be sharing that single feeling, I guess.

<2406> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In that case, how about I try out a climactic spell?"

<2407>
// I was thinking of a single idea.

<2408> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Eh, is there such a thing?"

<2409> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Every person here would surely start a fuss though."

<2410> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "O-okay. In that case, if you will."

<2411> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, please excuse me..."

<2412>
// I embrace that small body... and kiss her.

<2413>
// No sooner than that... \pthey started a big uproar.

<2414>
// So I thought.

<2415>
// Yeah...

<2416>
// To fall for her...

<2417>
// Really means... \wait{600}risking your life...\wait{4400}

<2418>
// Yukine Epilogue

<2419>
// The reference room as always.

<2420>
// The faint scent of pilaf still floated around.

<2421>
// I take some after meal coffee and look outside the window as I drink it.

<2422>
// Next to me was Miyazawa, who was reading her book of spells.

<2423>
// And speaking of Sunohara...

<2424> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Listen... girls that act like a strong-willed person actually miss someone."

<2425>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Really?"

<2426> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah... That's why, they're weak against broad-minded men who spoil them."

<2427> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, to make a long story short, they're weak against a person like me."

<2428>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Really?"

<2429> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In the end, he's the type who gets treated lightly."

<2430> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Who cares if I get treated lightly! I just want to date girls!"

<2431>
// How is he able to say those thing with the kid behind his back...

<2432> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "By the way, Yuu, what about your school?"

<2433>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Today's the school anniversary."

<2434> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Does your school have this every week...?"

<2435>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Yeah."

<2436> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<2437>
// So he says...

<2438>
// He's become tough, hasn't he?

<2439> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, Sunohara-san, I have a good spell for you."

<2440> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Eh? What? A spell so I can get a girlfriend?"

<2441> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "How about this. But this is like a spell that tells you if a person is compatible with you."

<2442> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "How do I do it?"

<2443> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Umm, first place both your hands on your partner's shoulder."

<2444> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "\m{A}, if you don't mind, help me test this."

<2445> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I somehow don't like to test my compatibility with you..."

<2446>
// Sunohara went in front of me as he ignored my complaint.

<2447>
// And then he puts both his hands on my shoulders.

<2448>
// ... This is kind of gross...

<2449> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What's next then?"

<2450> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Your partner should then close his eyes."

<2451> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That's what she said."

<2452> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This is an unpleasant composition..."

<2453>
// For now I close my eyes as told while I imagine the third person looking at us at that time.

<2454> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And then close your eyes as well."

<2455> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay, okay!"

<2456> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Leave your face like that..."

<2457>
// The atmosphere in front of me is stirring up.

<2458>
// I have a bad feeling about this...

<2459>
// The sound of Miyazawa turning the page.

<2460> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Umm... if you can thoroughly kiss him while your eyes are closed, you'll both become perfectly happy."

<2461> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, what?!"

<2462>
// I quickly open my eyes and just in front is Sunohara's face.

<2463> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This is bad!!"

<2464>
// I quickly retreat my face and hit Sunohara in the nose with my forehead.

<2465> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Bwaaaaah!!" \shake{3}

<2466>
// Sunohara, who got thrown on the floor by my forehead, is looking up at me with a nosebleed.

<2467> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That was dangerous..."

<2468> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "... Indweed... I'm in danger right now..." 

<2469>
// His body twitches and groans as he lies on the floor.
