22 Chapter 10
Hopes and Dreams

23-1 There are those who have dreams and those who don't

[board] Composition theme "Your Dream"

23-2 Like what you would like to do for work
Or what you would like to do in junior high

23-3 So I would like everyone to honestly write their feelings down

Can I just write about last night's dream?

23-4 No sorry

Hahaha

He's sayin' stupid stuff again

He's just dumb

24-4 I think Takatsuki-san and I

Were probably thinking about the same thing

24-5 Dream...

Yeah
It's gonna be hard to come up with something

24-6 We had to come up with a class slogan...

Ah, I wish. That's so much easier

Compositions are hard

25-1 I don't like my teacher

25-2 Class 1 Slogan

25-3 I hate how he gives everyone a nickname

I hate how his voice is really loud

25-4 Sorry, I'm only complaining

Mmm, nah, it's ok

25-5 Tomorrow we have to choose teams for dodgeball...

Ah, yeah. We have to do that too. We're playing class 1, right?

25-6 He came to our class and introduced himself

26-1 He's a really cheerful teacher

Our teacher is cheerful too

Yep

26-2 The cheerfulness is different!

26-5 That...
That was a joke

Um, well

Ok

26-6 I'm...

Don't worry about it, ok?

27-1 "Dream", huh?

27-2 I struggled with that each time I had to do it

Oh! Me! Shuu, listen to my dream!

27-3 To appear on TV with Maiko-chan, right?

Um, well, that too

27-4 To become sensei's wife

Ah, she said her teacher was good looking

27-5 But he's married with a kid

He's not my teacher, so he probably doesn't know me

That's adultery!

Yup! That's what I'm aiming for!

27-6 Whaat!?

Bath time!

28-2 What would you like to do in junior high?

28-3 Yo-chan, you should go to the same high school as your sister

28-4 No don't, it's tough

But the teachers are excellent, the campus is pretty, and the curriculum is rigorous. That school is great!

28-5 And I want to see Yo-chan in that school's sailor uniform...

Give me a break

29-1 Ah~~~

29-2 What a pain

What?

29-5 You've been at it for a while, but there's nothing there!

Yeeah

sfx: Thud

29-6 I'm turning off the light

Yeah

30-3 What're you gonna do, Nitori-kun? Gonna go home?

30-4 After coming all this way...?

Mm

30-5 I'm not really worried...

Yeah, Me too

31-1 So, it's ok then...

Yeah

31-2 Ah, there she is

31-3 I think she's in mizu-shobai. Definitely... [Mizu-shobai refers to "night work" ranging from bars/saloons down to prostitution.]

Y-yeah. Probably

31-4 Soooory!

31-5 You must have been waiting for a while!

32-1 I was so excited that I made a bunch of sweets

32-2 To Fujie-cho, please

32-3 Ah, do you like sweets?

I do

32-4 Speaking of which...

Eh? Eh? What could it be?

32-5 Oh my! Handmade?
No way! I'm so happy!
Cuuute!

Like a real girl!

33-2 Excuse us
Please come in

33-4 Can I ask about how you start dating?

34-1 Like which of you confessed your love first?

34-2 Clunk

May I use your restroom?

Of course

34-3 So cute

34-5 What?

35-1 Let's pour more tea

35-3 The cake was good
Nitori-kun's was good too

She said to come again

Yeaaah

35-4 But...

35-5 It's cool, huh

Having adult friends

Yeah

36-2 When's it due?

Tomorrow

36-3 You're too serious [upper bubble]
Just write whatever. Geeez

Mm, but...

36-4 I think Nakazawa-sensei is really cool, but

She's really cool too

36-5 What am I doing?
That isn't helping

Ah

What about pastry chef?

37-1 Just put "I like making sweets"

37-2 Tap tap

37-3 Good job everyone

I'm going to read them carefully, ok?

Oh no

Ehe

38-4 Let's go home!

38-5 Ok

'cause I'm hungry!

hahaha

38-6 Nitori-kun, your face is red

Eh?

39-1 A cold?

Eh
Nah, shouldn't be

Shouldn't be...

39-2 Nitori

39-3 Huh

39-4 I really am sick
Maybe because I was up late working on that...

40-5 In "Anne of Green Gables"

41-1 She was like this

41-2 Pretending to be dead on a boat, she almost ended up really dying

Ok, I'm Anne
