Chapter 71: Right now!

Page 149

Hey, Kido-kun
Don’t you think Yoneyama-kun is acting strange lately?
Eh? // Why?
Maybe he got a girlfriend?
As if.
I mean, if he had he would boast about it all day.
…Right.

Page 150

But for the last half month he’s not hanging around with us. // Once school is over, he immediately goes leaves.
He already got a job waiting for him // and is busy with his part-time and graduation work.
I see.
I felt my woman’s intuition at work though.
You had that?
So mean. // I’m a woman too.
Let’s check. // Ah, you’re right.
Kyaa~ No--

Page 151

Wah.
You’re so manly here too.
I want to check some more // if we’re a man and a woman. // Just kidding.
…
AH
HAH
HAH

Page 152

Ah…!
Ah! // Ah… Ah…
Uh…
Uhh…!
Huah~~~!!
Checked // enough?
Yep
Reminds me…

Page 153

It was also half month ago, when Emiru herself changed the rule of not getting involved with each other
Except for “peeping”…
I’ll observe everyone by joining you guys again.
I thought it was just one of her whims, // but she’s not the type to take meaningless actions.
Nn // Nn..
I’ll dispose of every single person
That interferes with our “peeping”.
Could it be, she // knows something…?
No… who cares. // If I spend my days in peace a bit longer until graduation
The “peeping” will end…
Ta-tsu-hi-ko~

Page 154

What’s up, Yoneyama?
How…are your plans for Saturday? // are you staying over at Madoka-chan’s?
Yes, I’m working hard on my graduation work now
So I can spend more time with her.
Mh, I see. // Mhm.
What’s wrong?
You’re being weird lately, you know?
I can understand that you’re busy with a lot of things though.
Ah~ // Ehm~
You’re creeping me out.
…
I beg you
Lend me your apartment this weekend!


Page 155

……Eh?
When I’m not there? // Why not stay over when I got more time?
I- I get in a fight with my mother // and I don’t want to stay home…
A-And you see, I’m entering society soon,
So I want to practice living alone..
Just as long as you stay over // at Madoka-chan’s place.
Okay?
…
The incident with Mochitsuki crossed my mind. // But Yoneyama is my friend… I can trust him..
Please let me use your room.

Page 156

Specially because he’s a friend, I don’t want him to find out about the “hole”..
W- Well… // I don’t know…
I don’t want any trouble until the time limit, the graduation…
If I have some more time…
You can come over, // okay?
…Eh?
Please, Tatsuhiko!!
I can only ask you!

Page 157

…Yoneyama?
(Ikuno)
So,
You answered him “Let me think about it”?
How careless, Kido-san

Page 158

A friend was on his knees begging me. // It was the only thing I could say…
As always you’re weak to such things.
Why not take a seat?
No, thanks.
But why would he // go that far to get your apartment?
A crisis with the family… // But even if that’s not it, there are times when you want to be alone, right?

Page 159

Or he wants
To check the existence of the “hole”?
Did hear from Mochitsuki? // But Yoneyama isn’t like that.
He might not be, // but his actions are strange enough.
I trust my friend! // I can lend it to him when there’s no hole.
You’re being to careless.
So that’s why I have a favour to ask
Let me cover the “hole”.

Page 160

…..!!
Ah, don’t misunderstand.
Just for when I’m not here.
The rules just apply to me, right? // If you cover it, I can lend out my room in peace..
….
This is crazy, but I promise // I’ll uncover it later for sure.
You made me do so much things until now, I won’t let you off the hook now.
From: Ueda Rie.
….

Page 161

Okay, fine…
But let me be present when you do it.
…Huh? // That was rather easy…
I thought she would say “I’ll peep on Yoneyama”…
(Kido)
You bought such a thing?
Yeah…

Page 162

I always thought about doing this, you see.
What a strange feeling. // This gave me troubles for close to two years
And with just one minute of work
It’s over so fast…

Page 163

It vanished beautifully…
Like there was never a hole to begin with…
By covering the hole in the wall
A hole in my heart opened up though…
I’m telling you I’ll uncover it later. // Now get out here.
Emiru’s face at that time // looked sad as she just had parted with her lover---

Page 164

It made me think
“She’s cute” for a bit…
I’m an idiot…
So I then promised Yoneyama to lend him my apartment
And decided to stay over at Madoka-chan’s room on Saturday.
It’ll be fine… // Yoneyama is a friend I can trust…
Welcome---- // Eh

Page 165

So much. // Your graduation work is that big?
Sorry for bring it all over. // My deadline is near.
Must have been a pain to ride the train with that. // I should have just come over to you.
Coming in~
I didn’t tell Madoka-chan about lending out my room.
I feel calmer here.
Kyaa (Proposing?)
I don’t want her to worry about stuff anymore…
*brrr*
Your phone?
----!
(Ikuno Emiru)
I’ll be right back.
Eh?… Okay.
From Emiru? What does she want?

Page 166

Back off. // I’m at Madoka-chan’s place right now.
..
Hello?
You’re speaking too quiet. I can’t hear you.
A bit louder.
…..please.
Eh?
Come back, please, Kido-san
Right now!
