"Takumi, dance with me at the after party."
Namihei should
be well aware what
these words mean...
(Takumi's reaction to the all-out confession....?)

Page 02

...W-
Well! That was some pretty realistic acting! // You even waited in front of my house and all.
Aren't you being too realistic!?
...Huh?
I'm sure, the others must be hiding somewhere close.
I bet they've got a "Fooled you" board ready and everything...

Page 03

I mean, you confessing to me
is something that would never happen!!
Ou // ch!
What are you doing // ....!?

Page 04

*hic*
*hic*
*hic*
....
Sorry, Namihei…
But I'm
still not...

Page 05

I feel stupid.
I practice what to say over and over and he just goes // "Fooled you" // You've got to be kidding me!! // I even bought some cute clothes I don't usually wear.
In the end

Page 06

I'll always be
just "Namihei"...
I bet he doesn't even remember that promise we made long ago...
Natsuki-chan
That drawing, // You're really good.
That's a bride.
Hee-- Then, when we grow up, become my bride.

Page 07

"Yeah"
"It's a promise"
....As if.
Because I can't give up that easily, for years now, I...
Eh?

Page 08

So in the end, Namihei didn't come today.
SEN
PAI <3
Ohh!?
Why are you spacing out?
And here I thought you got a load off your shoulders yesterday. // Was I mistaken?
...I'm terrible, sorry.

Page 09

Going by that gloomy face of yours, you still haven't decided on a partner for the after party, right?
Even though it's just two more days until the cultural festival…
I think // it would be okay to dance alone, too, though.
(Dance Alone Plan)
(No, no, no)
Ohh! // That might make you legendary in a different sense of the word!
That option is one I
want to avoid, at least...
*riiing*
Hm? // Who is it now...?
(Incoming Call)
*beep*

Page 10

Hell--
IDIOT!!
M- Mom!? What's up? I'm still at school.
What happened between you and Natsuki-chan yesterday!?
W- // What does it matter to you?
It does!! After that, Natsuki-chan---
Huh....? Stop joking, Mom....

Page 11

Senpai? What happened?
Sorry.
I // might not be taking part in the cultural festival.
Eh?
Hey, // wait, Senpai!!
Ah!
Takumi-kun!
I would like to
hear your opinion on....

Page 12+13

----
Takumi....
...-kun?

Page 14

Aunty!!
Where's Namihei!? Is she okay!?
Takumi-kun? You came...
Yesterday night, // a car skidded onto the sidewalk, // where Natsuki happened to be passing.
There are no external wounds, but she seems to have hit her head...

Page 15

She still hasn't regained... // consciousness.
But don't worry!
The doctor said she'll wake up soon enough.
Namihira-san, a moment please...
Yes.

Page 16

It's my fault...
FUCK!!!!
Why...?
Why!?

Page 17

?
Something's in my pocket...
The paper Senpai gave me yesterday...
So that's where I put it.

Page 18

*clatter*
Takumi-kun, // it's late already, so go home for today.
*rustle*
I'll stay with her.
T- // That reminds me, I left my bag at school.
I see..
Thanks for coming today.
No...
Ah, // Aunty!
I'll // come tomorrow, too.

Page 19

I heard they'll be testing the fireworks for the after party now!
(Eh~~)
Should we go watch?
Cultural festival....
Kyaa

Page 20

Takumi...-kun?
Inami-san! // You were working alone this late?
The others were still with me until just now.
Ah....
We were supposed to talk about the play today. // ...Sorry.
I- // It's okay!
More importantly!

Page 21

Is Natsuki-san...
all right?
We heard from the teacher that she got into an accident... // But nothing about her condition...
Takumi-kun, // you were at the hospital until now, right?
T- There's no need to worry! // It seems she only needs to be hospitalized for 2 or 3 days.
She got away with only a few scratches. // She's as lively as ever!
It's just

Page 22

that I think I might be the cause of the accident.
So I'll go visit her more often for the time being.
That's why // I might not be able
to participate at the cultural festival.
I know that I'm being // irresponsible as a committee member.
Especially to you, I'm causing trouble....
What are you saying?

Page 23

Please go see
Natsuki-san.
We'll make the play a big success // with everyone from class.
Th-
Thank you, Inami-san!
But.
would it be all right for me

Page 24

to make one last selfish request?
The fireworks // test run...
Sorry, // what were you saying just now?
...
What I said was,
a last self--
Eh!?
What!?

Page 25

I was saying...
Eh----
(The rocking feelings of the three--- Next time, the climax!!)
