N: ...I can't believe I slept that long...
N: Even if I say I'm just coming home from cram school, I still don't know if she'll buy it...
N(2b): ...when I woke up, I found my ID was back in my pocket.
Grandma sfx: Fufufufu...you've still got a long way to go, Nomura-kun.
N: ...what a weird old lady. But even so...
N: ...ah, seriously,
N: what kind of excuse am I going to tell HER...
mom sfx 1: Where in the world have you been all this time?!
mom sfx 2: What about your exams
N: There's no way she'll stay quiet after coming home so late like this...

156)M: Welcome home, Nobu-chan.
M: Good job working hard so late into the night!

M: Here, this is for you.
N: ...what is this?
M: A bit ago one of Nobu-chan's friends came and dropped it off.
M: Some boy named Kaburagi-kun.
N: Kaburagi...!?
N: That bastard came here!?
M: Ahh!
M: Wha...hey, Nobu...

158)
N: But for what purpose?!
M(2b): Kaburagi-kun said he's aiming to get into Soukei University! He also has very nice manners!
M: You should become good friends with him!
N: Could he have told her something!?
N: --she definitely must have looked in here!
N: Dammit...
N: What the hell did he write in here?!

Letter:
To Nomura
Sorry about yesterday.
I didn't understand
N: "I didn't understand the answer to the third proof either."
N: "I decided to call on help from a friend of mine who's in college."
N(2b): "Sorry for wasting more of your time, but I'd like to introduce this person to you."

160)
N: "Next Sunday at 8 PM,"
N: "meet me at the address I've written below."
N: "This could be a very big chance for you."
N(2b): "But I don't want to force anything on you, so I'll leave the decision up to you."
N(2b): "See you around. Do your best in your studies."
N: ...stop fucking with me.
N: If that's all you wanted to say, what's the big deal?

161)
N: "It's all about the chances you get in life."
N: "They aren't
N: things that just keep on coming."
N: "It's imperative
N: not to let those chances pass by you."

162)
sfx: gyu

163)
Box: Shinjuku - Sunday - 8:00 PM
N: ...don't think just because I came here,
N: that I'm ready to get swept up in whatever this guy has to say.
N: If all you want is for me to hear what he has to say, then I'll hear it.
N: But the one who decides whether this is a true chance or not will be me.

164)
N: Math's the ringleader of this, after all...
N: If I feel like I might be in danger, I can just run away.
N(2b): Additionally, if it really does happen that all I have to do is lend them a hand and I'll get into Soukei U, then it'll be a sweet deal...
N(2b): Customer Nomura-sama! Nomura-sama!
N: You have a telephone call.
K(2b): So you came after all, Nomura! I'm overjoyed.
K: About that letter--
K(2b): I figured there'd be a possibility your mother would read it, so I didn't write the real location there.

165)
K(2b): Sorry, but you're going to have to move again. The real place is--
sfx: piiiih
sfx: piiiih
N: ...just have to take a gamble.
sfx: pih
K: Getting there may hurt you though,
K: Nomura.

166)
N: Telling me to go to a karaoke box...why the hell couldn't he just come to the coffee shop?
N(2b): HE'S the one who called me out here! ...that selfish bastard.
N: ...more importantly,
N: where is he?
N: ...come on, gimme a break already!
N: This makes no sense...maybe I should just go home. (His fault for not being here)

167)
?: Gueeesss whooooo?
N(2b): ----ahh!? Wha!?
N: What!?

168)
G: Nomura-kun, nya?

170)
?: Sorry, I'm a little late.
?: You're on time, as usual.
K: Haha!
K(2b): Well, it's never hard to wait like a good little boy for you, Yukie-san.
Y: Oh my!
Y(2b): Anyway, shall we go eat? I've already made reservations at a nice restaurant.
K: Sounds great!

171)
?: .....ahhh.
?: Didn't work?
?(2b): Nuuu~ I just thought it'd be funny, so I waited until I found the best time to strike~!
?(2b): Yaay, kitty punch!
N: Ahh!
N: Ummm!
N: Hey, waiit--
sfx: Koh

172)
?(2b): Ahh, sorry. Did my kitty punch get you?
?: That's no good...boys like you should be stronger...
sfx: hamuh

173)
?: Nice to meet you,
?: Nomura Nobuo-kun!

174)
N(2b): Ah! N....
N: Nice to meet you...?
?(2b): Huh? Is something wrong?
?: You were told I was coming, right? From Kaburagi-kun.
N: That's right. Math...
N: No...I wasn't...
?: Ehhhh~?
?: He didn't tell you? Kaburagi-kun, that dummy!
?: He didn't write it in the letter? That he was going to introduce you to a friend?
K(2b): "I'd like to introduce you to that person."
N(2b): ....ah, that'....
N(boxless): Is THAT what it meant...?

175)
?: ---ah, hey, Nomura-kun.
?(2b): Would you mind standing in front of the door a bit for me? So that someone from outside can't see in.
N: OK...
N: But the way, uh...
N: Is Kaburagi-kun...
?(2b): Ahhh...about Kaburagi-kun...

176)
?: He said that something suddenly came up,
?: and went home.
N: ...what the hell?
Box: Just how selfish is that prick?
N: Leaving me alone with this girl I've never met before...
N(2b): What the hell am I supposed to do...? That irresponsible son of a...
?(2b): ...ahhh, he wanted to apologize to you, though, Nomura-kun.
?(boxless): Kaburagi-kun did.
N: Well, at the very least, can you introduce yourse...

177)
N: NUAHHHH!!?
N: .......ahh!
N: ...Wha...

178)
?: ....hm?
?(2b): What's wrong? Nomura-kun.
N: ......wha,
N: What are you doing...!?
