[Last issue: Enomoto Kei is back!! Time to go after those runaways!!]
Rika: Huh......
Terai: Wh - What was that about?
Rika: It's from Enomoto. / Apparently they found the boys, but didn't manage to catch them yet, so they're stopping out there for the night.
Terai: Hmm...
Rika: I don't know... what could've got into those guys, running away from everything...
Terai: ...... / I don't think... it's just "running away", really. // More like... I dunno, wanting to do something under their own steam...? / I can kind of understand... I feel the same way myself, when things get tough...
[sFX: squeeze...]

3
Rika: Even if you did feel that way... // For you to just go off somewhere like that... / I couldn't stand it........
Terai: Do...... Doba - Doba...
Sogabe: Damn, it's cold... Gimme more of the sleeping bag over here!
[sFX: whooosh~]
Mamoru: Honestly... you could at least prepare a little when you're going to camp out...! / Ahhh... my sleeping bag...
[sFX: shiver shiver // wriggle wriggle]
Sogabe: It's not even nine PM... ain't this a little early to be sleeping?
Mamoru: If we stayed awake, we'd just be sitting around feeling hungry, you know!!

4
Sogabe: Two Nmai bars and water from the park for dinner......... / I really can't sleep when I'm hungry...
Mamoru: Oh, just stop muttering, all right?!
Kusuda: ......
Sogabe: I guess you're the type who gets pissed off when he's hungry, huh, Zaitsu?
Mamoru: Just be quiet already!!
Nao: I wonder what the guys are doing about now...
Kei: Who knows... / Probably just staring up at the sky with empty stomachs and turning in already.
Koyoi: [aside]hahahah![/aside]
[sFX: SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH]
Ayumi: [aside]hahahah1[/aside]
Nao: Oh, no! / I'm sure they'd at least prepare properly before running away... probably...

5
[sFX: slump...]
Kei: At any rate, we know for a fact they're heading "east"... / If they keep heading that way, they're just going to bump smack into the ocean... where on Earth could they be headed? // ?!
[sFX: sta~~re]
Kei: Wh - What do you think you're doing?!!
[sFX: SPLOOSH]
Ayumi: Pretty nice, nyaa~~
Koyoi: Kei-nyan, yours are so big, I'm jealous~~ // Hey, hey, whaddaya eat to get them so bi~g?
[sFX: splash / splash]
Ayumi: let me have a better look~~~!!
Kei: Hey - Leave me alone...!! / [aside]nooooo![/aside]
Nao: (.........)

6
Kei: (I pray that Kusuda... / ...is safe, at least...)
[sFX: Hahahaha! Hahahaha!]
Koyoi: All right! I'm all out~!!
Ayumi: Koyoi-chan, you had the Eight of Diamonds~?
Nao: Kei-chan, you should come play cards too!
[sFX: grargh]
Kei: IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE GUYS, THEN GET SOME SLEEP ALREADY!! / [aside]Ayumi, even you - ?![/aside]
[sFX: guzzle guzzle guzzle guzzle etc.]

7
Guys: AAAAGH!! // Our... our precious food supplies... // They've all been eaten up!
Mamoru: According to my calculations, we should have had eighteen of them left!!
Kusuda: ......
Sogabe: Who was it?! Who ate up all the food?!! // ...... / Kusuda, you seem awfully quiet...?
[sFX: Ah!]
Mamoru: Kusuda-kun, don't tell me it was you...!
Kusuda: Okay, so I ate all the food we had left! / BUT!!

8
Kusuda: I only ate two bars, that was it!! / Which means... // Somebody got there before me and ate the other sixteen bars...!
Mamoru: Sixteen - ?! / I didn't eat sixteen! I only ate about five or six... // Ahh...... / Sogabe, don't tell me you ate TEN of them...!!
Sogabe: Well... I mean, you know... I guess we're all guilty parties here, right...? [aside]yeah?[/aside]
Kusuda: You shut up!! There's a difference between eating two and eating TEN!!
Sogabe: I'm the one who brought the Nmai bars in the first place, you know?!
Kusuda: That's not the issue here, is it?!
Mamoru: Stop it, you guys - you'll just make yourselves hungry again!!
Misao: Onii-san... you want a tangerine?
[sFX: train noises]

9
Yoshihiko: That's the one I gave you...
Misao: Onii-san! Aren't your shoulders stiff?! / Ohii-san!! If you're bored, shall I give you a bit of on-the-spot entertainment?!!
Yuuji: You can suck up to me all you want, I'm not giving you my precious sister!!
Misao: Just a little! I just want to be able to talk with your lovely sister a li~~~ttle!
Yuuji: Oh, just shaddup!!
[sFX: train noises]
Yuuji: I don't care how much you love Ayumi, 'cause I love her hundreds and thousands of times more!
[sFX: GLARE]
Misao: WELL, I LOVE HER MILLIONS OF TIMES MORE, GOT THAT?!! / ...Ah, I mean, "I think she's wonderful~!!"
[sFX: train noises]
Yuuji: If you're gonna go around menacing me like that, I'll make sure you never see Ayumi again -
Yoshihiko: Arihara.

10
Yoshihiko: You go on and on about Ayumi like that all the time... // ...but are you even giving proper thought to Yamamoto-san...?
Yuuji: Eh...
[sFX: train noises]
Ayumi: See, if they're headed down this road here, then they're sure to come out at the sea right over here.
Kei: Well, then, let's get off at a station near that beach, shall we?
Girls: Yeah!

11
Mamoru: ...... // Jeez...! // Hunger is one thing, but I still can't believe you spent all our cash on food from a convenience store... / I mean, we only have 150 yen left, you know?! What're we meant to do with that?!
Sogabe: Calm down... you'll make yourself hungry again...
Mamoru: Hey, don't you think we out to just call it quits and head home about now?!
Kusuda: Like we could do that...! / Have you really managed to properly get over that next-door-neighbour girl of yours yet?!
Mamoru: B - But in a situation like this...
Kusuda: It's because we're in a situation like this that you can get her out of your head! / Now if you want to make a recovery, be quiet and pedal!!

12
Mamoru: It - It's true that last night I was obsessing over the food and everything... // But that isn't enough to make me forget abous Saki-nee!!
Sogabe: That's right!!
[sFX: glance]
Sogabe: I can't forget about Chikura-san either!!
Kusuda: Sogabe, what happened to your "journey of rebirth"...?
[sFX: whoosh]
Sogabe: But she's so kind, and so cute! // And on top of it all, that smile!! That smile is just dazzling! // I'm no good as I am now!! // I have to become the kind of guy who's worthy of Chikura-san!!
Mamoru: A guy like me...! // I mean, I got Saki-nee taken from me by a guy who I can't see why the hell she'd even like!!

13
Mamoru: I'm sure I could make her happier than he ever could......!!
Sogabe: I want to make Chikura-san happy as well!!
Mamoru: I'll make sure I become a better guy than he could ever be!!
Sogabe: I - I know I'm not cool, but I want to change that~!!
Mamoru: Kusuda-kun! Why aren't you saying anything?!
Sogabe: That's right!! You tell us why you're feeling down too!!
Mamoru: I mean, it's gotta be Enomoto-san again, right...?
Sogabe: Oh, right... Kusuda was dumped by Enomoto...?
Kusuda: ! // Sh - Shaddup! / I just wanted to find a little more confidence...!!

14
Mamoru: Confidence?! Confidence to do what?!
Sogabe: It's gotta be for Enomoto, right?!
Mamoru: You shout it out, Kusuda-kun!
Sogabe: That's right - it feels good to just let it all out!
Mamoru: Kusuda-ku...
[sFX: shine]

15
[sFX: shi~~~~~~ne]
Kusuda: (The moment we saw that ocean... // ...without the slightest of prompting, we all fell deadly silent.)

16
Kusuda: (We just looked out over the ocean spreading out before our eyes... // ...and the first thing that floated back into my blank mind... // ...was the reason...) // ...get outta my head, dammit...! // (...why I wanted that confidence.)

17
[sFX: crash]
Sogabe: I LOVE YOU, CHIKURA-SA~N!!
Mamoru: And I... // I LOVE YOU, SAKI-NEE!!

18
Sogabe: Me, too......... // I LOVE YOU, DAMMIT, ENOMOTO~~~~~~~!!
Koyoi: Eh~~~~~~~?!!

19
Koyoi: D'you mean that, Kusuda-kun?!! // Wo~~~~w! That was a surprise, huh, Kei-chan~~!
Kei: K - Kusu -
[sFX: blu~~~~sh]
Kusuda: R - RUN FOR IT!!
Kei: Ah - !
[sFX: DASH]
Kei: Hey - wait......!!
[side text: The journey led to an unexpected confession?!! Chase, run, or no, there's no taking back those feelings...!!]
[bottom text: Next issue, we reach the final stage of this road of youth!! Where will the running and the chasing end...?!]
