Chapter 38: Even the name has been forgotten now

Page 02

Ah...
Kasuga-kun, sorry, but
my boyfriend is here.

Page 03

....
Eh
....Eh?
Why?
I guess he heard from Shouko. // You know, the one we met at school earlier.
She got a loose mouth...

Page 04

Eh... Ah.. // EH!?
Ah... What now...? // What... do we do?
Eh? Eh?
I'll go out for a bit.
You stay here.
Okay...

Page 05

...
Aww...

Page 06

What am I in panic for?
Damn... I'm so stupid...

Page 07

....
Hah // I'm really so stupid...
For having such a human habit... // and putting up a nice face...

Page 08

Ah, Kasuga-kun...
Sorry, but could you come with me?
I hate being secretive, // so I just told him about you,
but now he won't shut up about seeing you. // Will you come?

Page 09

Thanks for having me.

Page 10

Page 11

Here he is. // That's Kasuga-kun.
So, ehm... // That's my boyfriend, Touji.
Ah...
Hello... Nice to meet you...
Ah...

Page 12

Fuh
Hello.
I'm Fujiwara Touji. // Nice to meet you.
Hah...

Page 13

Kasuga Takao..
....Hello.
So,
you're in the same class as Aya?
....Aya?
Ah, that's me.
Tokiwa Aya.
He's in a different class.
I know Touji from my workplace... // He's a senior at North High and a year older than us.

Page 14

So, well,
can you stop lurking in front of my house? Am I that dubious?
...Huh?
Kasuga-kun is just // a friend!
It's nothing on the lines of what you think. Seriously!
Ah.
Yeah, sure.
...Ehm...

Page 15

I'm truly sorry
for having caused this misunderstanding.
...Eh.
I'll be careful from now on not to do it again.
I swear..

Page 16

Hey, wait..
Kasuga-kun?
It's okay. // I get it.
That you don't have the guts for it.
Aw, I feel stupid for worrying now.
But Aya is so pretty. // There are lots of guys after her...

Page 17

Hey...
That's not really...
Hey, Aya.
Wanna go to the usual place now?
Eh, right now?
Yeah, the gang will be there.
And let's fetch a pizza or so on the way.
Okay?
Mm.
Okay!

Page 18

I'll get ready.
Wait a bit!

Page 19

Okay,
I'm off then...

Page 20

Hey, wait.
Sorry for doubting you.
I'm not against you being friends with her.

Page 21

I really
don't have any such // intentions with Tokiwa-san...
It's just
I was a bit happy.
To have made a friend after a long while...
So // I got a bit excited
and forgot myself....

Page 22

In the end, I...
might just have chased the shadow of an old friend....
I'm really sorry
for meeting up with her all alone.
I'll keep my distance from her now.
I think that'll be better...

Page 23

Excuse me now..
...Eh?
...Wow, you're
weird!! Haha.

Page 24

Thanks for the wait.
...What's so funny?
Okay!
Come with us, Kasuga-kun.

Page 25

Eh?
It's my first time meeting someone like you.
Watcha say? // Aya's friend is my friend!
I'll treat you to some pizza too.
Okay? You're in!?

Page 26

...No...
I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass...
I'm... a ghost.
I only cause troubles for others. // Sorry...
PFT

Page 27

You ain't a ghost! // Trying to act cool?
Don't worry! Nobody will mind you!
....
Haha.
Guess so...
Okay, // let's go!!

Page 28

So cold.
Yeah.
I'm sick of this cold.
But I hate the heat too.
Eh, really?
Hey, Kasuga-kun.

Page 29

Where do you live?
....Ah...
Around Kagoyama...
Oh, there. I've been there.
You said you moved here, right?
When was that?
...Yeah... // It was in 8th grade...
Before I lived in Gunma...

Page 30

Hee, is that so!
Why did you move? // Your father's job?
Ah, well...
something like that.
Ah, // here we are.

Page 31

I'll go park my bike.
Yeah.

Page 32

Kasuga-kun,
I'm sorry.
This isn't troubling you, is it?
...No, thanks.
It's fine. I'll leave after a bit.
Gyahaha

Page 33

'Sup
Oh
Touji, there you are!

Page 34

Hey, guys. // Watcha doing?
We were waiting for you.
'Evening!
Hey, Aya-chan!
Aya, it's been a while!
Yay, Tamae! How are you!?
Let me introduce him!
He's Aya's friend, Kasuga-kun!
Ah..
He's a funny oddball!

Page 35

Hee.
Hi there!
Welcome, Kasuga-kun!
C'mon! Sit down here!
What are you just standing there for? Hurry up!!
