1: YOU IDIOOOOOOOOOOT!!
2: YOU STUPID IDIOT!!
3(2b): Wh-what...what the hell are you doing?! a lot of things happened...it hurt?
Well then!
4(3b): Why didn't you come ask us for help?! No, you decided to run away all by
yourself instead! We're...really!!
5(2b):I'm sorry...but it was my own problem, so...
6(2b): NO IT ISN'T, YOU NIMROD!! I'm gonna punch you!!
7(2b): You think it's your own problem?! I...! I...
8(2b): Both you and Ageha-san are extremely important people to me!
9: And you think this is your own problem?! Don't talk like you're living all by
yourself!!
10: YOU IDIOT!!
11(2b): H...hey, Morino-san, can you pass it over now? Tsutomu-kun...can you hear
me?
12: Hayashi-senpai...
13: Hey, Tsutomu-kun, to be honest about what happened...

176)
1(6b): I thought, "that was totally uncalled for." Because it was...I don't know if
we could have solved your problem, but! That's exactly why we wanted you to come
confide in us about it! As friends who share the same point of view, we wanted you
to count on us, especially in times like these...and from now on, too...
2(5b): Tsutomu-kun, can you hear? ...come back here. Let us help you. If not, then
we...and you, and Ageha-san...will all end up with regret in the end. So please.
Come back...

177)
1(4b): Tsutomu-san! You're a complete moron!! After all your hard work...and
finally being able to embrace Ageha-san, you ditch her like this!! You BETTER come
back here!! ...if you don't, then I will never forgive you for the rest of my
life!!
2(4b): Senpai...I was really influenced by you a lot...I respect you! And I
still...want you to teach me a lot more. About doujinshi...about love...so...
3(3b): Itou-senpai...everyone's waiting! Ageha-san, too! ...I'm sure...

178)
1: ...okay.
2: Ahhh..
3(2b): Tsutomu...sorry to interrupt, but...
4: rrring rriing
5(2b): You're getting a call too, you know? Look how popular you are!
6: So you finally answer!!
7: Tsutomu, you retard!!
8: S...sis?!
9(2b): Don't call me that! What the hell are you doing?!
10(2b): Disappearing...and! I heard that Ageha-san is pregnant!!
11(3b): If you!! Ever make Ageha-san cry, I will kill you!! Are you listening?!
12: Now, now, Kyouko...let me talk to him.

179)
1: Tsutomu?
2(2b): I heard about what happened...and about Ageha-san's pregnancy.
3: Mom...
4(2b): Boys really...grow up quickly...
5: No, I'm fine, just surprised.
6(3b): ...we have no right to blame you, you know. Your father and I also had a
shotgun wedding. And by the time we went solo with the shop, Kyouko was already...
7(2b): H-hey! Hey! Gimme the phone!! Give it to me!!
8: Hey...Tsutomu?
9(4b): You good-for-nothing son!! I let you go to Tokyo because you practically
begged me, and now...what do I hear?! Staying an extra year? Living together with a
woman? And getting her pregnant?! ...goddammit.
10(2b): Anyway! Come back here! Right now!!
11(2b): I want to talk about your school fees and money from now on. You listening,
Tsutomu?!
12: ...dad.

180)
1(3b): Dad...were you ever nervous about becoming someone's parent?
2: Are you
3: a moron?
4(2b): There's not a man who hasn't been! It happened right when I was about to
open my own shop, too, and there were a lot of complications...
5(2b): I was nervous about everything...it's natural, you lunkhead!
6: Hey...Tsutomu.
7: But you know...Tsutomu.
8(2b): Even if...for example, even if your parents started out like that.
9: Kyouko...and you, too...

181)
1(5b): I think you were both raised well. Even if we did temporarily falter...you
both grew up to believe that your parents would provide well for you...and that's
how it goes...so just
2(4b): Argh! You know, I had no intention to talk about this! Just come home,
dammit! You'd better!! And...the mother. Ageha-san? You'd better...
3: bring her too.
