//I guess most of those who actually read this noticed I didn't post the translation until the chapter was released, and that was because someone just went and used my translations without even asking me for permission. So, in order to avoid that, I'll post the translations for this series after they're released too, sorry to everyone who read them as spoilers.

STEP 18 It'll Surely Be Fine...!
Yokota Takuma

p2
Masaharu: Watari-san...Back in primary school...?
Star: She talks about her memories...
Eri: Yeah...
Eri: I was small and didn't stand out much...Much like today...
Eri: But I was a lot more energetic and less timid than I am now...
Eri: So I played together with both boys and girls...!
Masaharu: I see...
Masaharu(thinks): Watari-san when she was a kid, huh...
Masaharu(thinks): Her looks probably didn't change much...!
Eri's sd: Ehe ehe
Eri's sd: Ehe ehehe
Masaharu's sd: Fufufu...
Box: By the way, Tsuchiya-kun looks the same too.
Eri: And then...
Eri: When I was primary school...Around fifth year, I think...
Eri: A boy from my class was transferring schools...
Eri: That boy...Was good at both his studies and sports and he was always involved in what happened in the class...

p3
Eri: All the girls had a thing for that boy...
Eri: And I...
Eri: Probably too...
Masaharu: ! ...
Eri: So you see...Before that boy transferred...
Eri: I wanted to say goodbye to him so I called him to the back of the school building...
Eri: I might...Have wanted to confess to him...
Eri: I just...Wanted him to remember me...
Eri: So I dressed up as best as I could...
Eri: And went to see him.

p4
Eri: And then he said...
Eri: "Why is a plain midget like you trying so hard?"
Eri: "Aren't you embarrassed of wearing clothes that don't suit you at all?"
Masaharu: Hey...
Masaharu: Th...That guy's awful...! Did he really say that...!?
Masaharu: Even if he was in primary school, he can't say something like that...!
Eri: Ah...But after that-

p5
Boy: Geh!?
Boy: Chikane...
Eri: It seems Chika-chan was waiting for me close by...
Eri: So that boy ended up in a more pitiful state...
Eri's sd: Stop, stop
Boy?'s sd: Gyaaaah, just say something, anything!!
Masaharu's sd: She really was a scary person...
Masaharu: Aaaaaah...That's...
Eri: But, yeah...
Eri: It was after that...I guess...
Eri: I stopped...Having self-confidence...
Eri: And just somehow ended...Stopping playing with the boys...
Eri: I know it's something that happened long ago when I was a kid...
Eri: And that it's nothing that serious...
Eri: But I just...Keep remembering...What he said to me...

p6
Eri: Even though I know...
Eri: I can't keep going like this...
Masaharu: ......
Eri: Ah, sorry, I just...
Eri: Ended up talking about some heavy stuff...!
Masaharu: Eh!
Masaharu: No, no, don't worry...!
Masaharu: Well, I mean, that kind of things...!
Masaharu: Are actually common...! Me too...
Masaharu: There's this small thing they told me long ago...!
Masaharu: And I actually keep remembering and worrying about it...!
Masaharu: But, that's why...I think Watari-san is amazing...
Eri: !
Masaharu: Because you're actually trying to do something about it...!
Masaharu: I mean,
Masaharu: That's why you joined the dance club, right...!?

p7
Masaharu: That's pretty amazing...!
Masaharu: I would've just kept worrying about it...!
Masaharu: I really...Respect
Masaharu: Watari-san for that...!!
Eri: Eh
Eri: Ugh
Masaharu: Mm...
Masaharu: That's it...Respect...! That's exactly it...!
Masaharu: Back when we joined the dance club it was the same, and you really practice hard...!
Masaharu: It's just like...I always end up saying Watari-san is "amazing"...
Masaharu: But I actually respect you!!
Masaharu: Whoa, I feel like my vocabulary has broadened...! (cd: That's great, I'll use it from now on)
Masaharu: Thanks, Watari-san!
Eri's sd: ......

p8
Eri: Pft, aha, ahahaha!
Eri: Tsuchiya-kun...You're so funny...!
Masaharu: Eh, is that so?
Eri: But...Thanks...
Eri: I'm glad...I told you...!
Masaharu: ......
Masaharu: During the performance...
Masaharu: I think we'll be fine...
Eri: ......
Eri: Yeah...
Masaharu: I'm really looking forward...
Masaharu: To the cultural festival...!
