Chapter 180
[Side text: Watanuki has done that which is in his power to do, but...]
Watanuki: I took all that time... / ...and even made you cry... // I daresay Yuuko-san will be mad at me. // That's right... / Next time, let's make some rice balls and eat them, together. / I'll have everyone come around again. // Although Yuuko-san might still not be around...
Client: Yuuko-san...?

[Side text: Through visiting that shop, through meeting Watanuki, the woman's wish has been granted. And of course you can't speak of that shop without speaking of that person... can you?]
Watanuki: You know - the owner of the shop. // I mean, / I just work for her part-time.
Client: The owner...
Watanuki: She has long, jet-black hair... / And, well, I suppose you would call her attractive, but... // You remember - you had a cup of tea with her. / Iced tea.

Woman: I'm sorry... // I'm afraid I don't know who you mean...
Watanuki: Huh?

Woman: The only person I ever met at that shop was you...
[TN: Dammit, Yuuko, stop disappearing ~~]

Watanuki: ...That's just...
Woman: You were the only one in that shop, weren't you? // I mean, it was you who handled my request, after all... // Really! / You were the only one I ever met at that shop.

7
Watanuki: That's ridiculous...
Twins: Oh... / Watanuki-kun! // Doumeki-kun, too!
Watanuki: Ah...
Twins: It's been a while! // On your way home from school? / We could have tea together, if you'd like...

8
Watanuki: No, no... // I have to... / ...get back to the shop...
Twins: Shop?
Watanuki: Yuuko-san's...
Twins: Yuuko-san?

9
Twins: Who's that~? // Watanuki-kun?
Doumeki: Wait!

10
Watanuki: They don't know Yuuko-san...?! // Why wouldn't they...?!

11
Watanuki: This has to be some kind of mistake...! // See...?! // The shop is right here like always!

12
Watanuki: Huh......?
