SFX: *Surprised*
Shou: WHA--WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!?
Ichi: Well, there's no use of being jealous of me...
SFX: *smirks*
Ichi: Since Minori & I don't have normal relationship
Ichi: And we're always together~
Minori: ICHI!!

Chihiro: Violence isn't good right? Can't you just talk over it?
SFX: *clench*
Nana: Shut up! The bad one is this one!

Page 14:
SFX: *at its limit*
Nana: THIS GUY HAS HURT SHIORI-CHAN!
Yuuichi: ...
Text: Yuuichi has hurt Shiori?


Page 15
Chiharu: Anyway, will you go outside?
Nana: N-NO. STOP IT! LET ME GO!!
Yuuichi: Is that Shiori's acquaintance?
SFX: *turns*
Minori: Y---

Page 16:
Box 1: Yuuichi...He realized that I'm not Shiori----
Minori: Y-Yes, he's a kouhai. Sorry!
Yuuichi: I--
Yuuichi: Have I ever hurt Shiori?
Box 2: There's no way that I would know since I'm Minori
Box 3: But....

Page 17
Text: Nana, being Shiori's guardian spirit to be angry like that,
I think it was really true.
That's what I think but---
Minori: Yeah, not at all.
SFX: *chatter* *chatter*
Girl 1: Of course, not.
Girl 2: There's no way Kago-kun would do that.
SFX: *walks through*
Yuuichi: Sorry for making a fuss, I will go do my work now.
Girl : Okay.

Page 18
SFX: *runs*
Minori: Yuuichi!
Yuuichi: So it's Minori for today huh?
Minori: Ah, y-yes.
Minori: Listen, about you hurting Shiori---
Yuuichi: It's true.
Minori: W-why
Yuuichi: For some unknown reason that I've reached my limits, I've raised my hand on her. I'm the bad guy.
Minori: It can't be--
Text: They were getting along pretty well too.

Page 19
Yuuichi: You still don't know everything about Shiori.
Minori: Everything? What do you mean?
Yuuichi: I won't say it myself.
Text1: "I'm looking for something."
Text on the notebook: Disappear Minori.
Text2: The Shiori that I don't know of....
Yuuichi: I'm the worst human being.
Yuuichi: Since I've taken for granted the person that's most precious to me and
I've hurt her.
SFX: *clench*

Page 20
Box 1: Your way of saying it--is so cunning.
Box 2: Cleaning yourself off is the same as running away from it.
Minori: Surely...The Yuuichi that raised his hand is the worst.
Minori: But now...The regretting Yuuichi
Minori: For me, I don't think you're the worst.
Yuuichi: Mino...
Minori: S-sorry, I'll be heading home now.

Page 21:
SFX: *dash*
Yuuichi: Minori!
Box 1: The me in the past who likes Yuuichi
Box 2: Is sympathizing with Yuuchi.
Box 3: It's also the same for me.
Box 4: The Yuuichi that has hurt his beloved Shiori
Box 5: Can't be forgiven. That's what I'm thinking too.
Minori: ..Don't kno---...
Text: Even I, myself
Minori: I don't get it anymore!

Page 22
Chiharu: Shiori?
SFX: *rubs tears*
Minori: Chi-chan... What are you doing here? I was surprised!
Chiharu: Ah, from time to time I have to take care of alumni matters.
Chiharu: Moreover, the kid earlier called Nana, I've just　lose sight of him for a
while and I don't know where he went.
Minori: So Nana left. I wonder if he went back to Kuranoa.
Chiharu:....

Page 23
SFX: *wipes*
Minori: Chi-chan?
SFX: *relief*
Chiharu: Shiori didn't do anything wrong.
Minori: Huh?

SFX: *stretches*
Shou: Going back...Does that means with Minori too?
Ichi: Minori is still here. I have a shorter time in my case.
Shou: The time you have?
Ichi: There are conditions for guardian spirits too!
Shou: ---... Are you really a guardian spirit?
Ichi: Huh?
Ichi: As I was saying, I'm a genuine guardian spirit. Worship me.
Shou: STUPID. It's not a laughing matter right?

Page 29
Ichi: It was a joke, don't you get it?
Shou: People often tells me that too.
Ichi: But that's also a good part of you.
Shou: Eh?
Ichi: I can entrust Minori to you without worries.
Shou: What's that all of a sudden?

Page 30
Ichi: When the time comes that I can't get out of Kuranoa,
Ichi: protect Minori.
Ichi: I'm seriously asking you this...

Page 31
Shou:....
Shou: I got it.
Ichi: Well it's time for me to go.

Page 32:
SFX: *claps*
Ichi: Later, Shou
Shou: Yeah.

Minori: I see...
Shou: Is something wrong?

Page 33
Minori: Ah, No, it's nothing.
Shou: Don't push yourself too hard. I'm on your side.
Minori: T-Thank you...

Page 34:
SFX: *shuts door*
Shiori: I see.. So that was it...
Shiori: I have my own way of doing things...
Nana: Huh?
Shiori: I finally understood what's important and what I want to protect.
Nana: Shiori-chan?
