Author: Nishizawa Shuuji

Shinzou: I'm gonna wash it away!
4.
Mizuhara: Tamiya-kun is so clumsy!
In panel: Cute!
In panel: Ahahaha! Shinzou is cute!
5.
Text 1: It's not like that, Mizuhara-san!
Text 2: I panic when I'm around you...!
Shinzou: Okay...
Text 3: Now today's embarrassment is forgotten.
Shinzou: In my mind. // Ah...
6.
Ryouko: I've got good news for you!
Shinzou: Gyaaa! // You pervert!
Ryouko: We used to take baths together, didn't we?!
Shinzou: That was more than ten years ago! // Anyway...what's the good news, Ryouko-san? // The usual "Information about Mizuhara-san"?
Ryouko: No, that's not why I came today.
7.
Ryouko: You might be able to give up that awful routine.
Shinzou: Awful?! // Anyway, I'll hear you out for now.
Ryouko: My fee. // Hmm... // That's right, a bakery just opened around here.
Shinzou: Damn it! // Fine!
Ryouko: Thanks for your business!

Sign: Is there something embarrassing you want to erase? Hajikeshi
Ryouko: I heard about it from a friend of a friend.
Shinzou: That information just sounds suspicious! / I really wanna go home!
Ryouko: Huh? We've got this far already! // I've heard that it really works.
Shinzou: Eh~~~ // Ah! // He saw us... [He's telling us to come over!] // Well...let's just go in.
9.
Takada: Sir, Madam...welcome. / I'm the secretary, Takada.
Shinzou: Secretary?
Ryouko: It said "office" on the front, right? [So wouldn't there be one?]
Takada: President Hime // You have a customer.
Ryouko: President Hime?!
Shinzou: The way he said "Hime" and "President"?!

Takada: Just as the reading suggests // Hajikeshi is / the task of erasing shame...
Takada: If there's something you are ashamed of, // then we can make arrangements / for it to disappear completely, whatever it is.
Takada: However, / we will make a deal. // Only the people in this room will remember the incident. // Is that acceptable?
Shinzou: T-This is suspicious!
12.
Ryouko: Try it, Shinzou!
Shinzou: She just came here to play around from the start?! [With me!]
Takada: You don't believe it, do you? // In that case, how about we erase one for free?
Ryouko: Really? // Umm... / Then... // The embarrassing poem written in Shinzou's student notebook... [Make it disappear.]
Notebook: You are a white lily. A poem about Hotaru Mizuhara-san Shinzou Tamiya
Shinzou: How did you know about that?!
13.
Shinzou: I want to go home and take a bath...
Takada: It's okay. / It's times like this that we erase your shame. // Come on, // look up.
14.
Shinzou: Owww! // Something came out?!
Hime: This is
Shame: You are // a white lily!
Hime: your shame.
Shame: Small and cute... / I like you!
15.
Shame: White...
Takada: Look at your student notebook.
Shinzou: Ah, okay! // The poem from my heart is disappearing...?!
Takada: It'll remain inside your heart.
16.
Takada: Thanks for waiting.
Ryouko: Hey! // Are you done already?
Takada: What's written in this notebook?
Ryouko: Huh...? // The school rules...?
17.
Shinzou: Wow! It's the real thing! // Thank you...thank you, Ryou! // Now I can get close to Mizuhara-san more quickly!
Ryouko: That's great!
18.
Ryouko: My fee.
19.
Ryouko: My fee.
20.
Shinzou: What's the matter, Ryou?
Ryouko: Nothing! / About Mizuhara-san... // She seems to think your clumsiness is interesting. // You've been going to Hajikeshi recently, haven't you?
21.
Mizuhara: Tamiya-kun... // doesn't seem as brilliant as before.
Ryouko: That's what she said.
Shinzou: That's so harsh!
Ryouko: So...it's better if you stop going to Hajikeshi, okay? // Anyway, I've got to stop by somewhere!
Shinzou: Okay...

Shinzou: Hey. // You talked me out of it so you could come here and erase something? [You...]
Ryouko: There's no way I could have told you!
Shinzou: I'm going to forget anyway, it doesn't matter! // Show me something good for once!
Ryouko: Will you go home if I tell you?
24.
Ryouko: I got rejected when I confessed to the guy I like. // Get it now? // Go home...
Shinzou: Your hair...
Ryouko: Huh?
25.
Shinzou: You've always had a habit of touching your hair / when you're lying. // It's not unusual for you to lie, // but you wouldn't use someone else as an excuse.
Shinzou: You were trying to make me keep my distance // until I said Mizuhara-san's name?
26.
Mizuhara: Ah~! / I want to become the kind of girl that Ryou-sama is!
In panel: Cool~
Ryouko: Even I want to be like you! // Despite your height, your armspan is 170cm!
In panel: Even though you have it pretty good...
Mizuhara: But you have someone who understands you, right?
Ryouko: Who?
Mizuhara: Eh? // Hmm? // You're dating Tamiya-kun, aren't you?
Ryouko: That's what she said!
27.
Ryouko: It's embarrassing, right?! It's depressing, right?! // Apparently that's what everyone was thinking! // Because I was actually always around you, // I won't be able to deny it convincingly!
Ryouko: My honest opinion is that // there's still some hope for you and Mizuhara! // But it definitely won't go well at this rate!
28.
Hime: Then... // Now that you feel ashamed of the time you spent together until now, // you're going to erase that shame?
Shinzou: That means...
Takada: Yes... / We can't say for sure...
29.
Takada: but there's a high possibility that // it will be as if you two were never friends to begin with. // I explained that to her earlier.
30.
Shinzou: You were going to... // do that without saying a thing?!
31.
Takada: In that case... // Will you two have your shame erased together? // You should be the only ones who know about your relationship, / because the memories of the people in this room won't disappear.
Ryouko: Takada-san! / I'll pay for it! // Erase his shame!
Shinzou: There's no way you can do that! [Not the way things are going!] // Listen to me!
33.
Mizuhara: You like Tamiya-kun, don't you? // I can tell just by looking. // That's so cute!
Mizuhara: I'm actually // a little jealous. // But... // I can't get in your way.
34.
Ryouko: I honestly // expected this to happen. // Without thinking, I said that // I'd support you and followed you around. // I thought it was a good opportunity.
Ryouko: I want us to spend some time apart.
35.
Ryouko: Let me // give up completely!
36.
Ryouko: It's okay! // You'll remember it, you see. // If things work out with Mizuhara... // Just talk to me! // I'll be your friend again.

Shinzou: Uhh~
Ryouko: I haven't forgotten! // You ran away after all, didn't you?! You useless guy! // Go there again!
Shinzou: There's no point.
43.
Takada: Hime, Hime. // They won't disappear.
Shinzou: Being with her...
44.
Shinzou: There's no way that // I'm ashamed of being with Ryouko.
45.
Shinzou: Thanks. // You really were thinking of me... // I'm sorry, though. // All your preparation ended up going to waste.
46.
Shinzou: We're friends, so will you accept me?
Ryouko: Huh?! // You're asking me out? / Ah..well... // Are you okay with that?!
In panel: I'll get mad!!
Shinzou: Well...
Ryouko: This is the first time I've heard something that sounds so much like a confession... [My heart is beating so fast...]
Shinzou: They told me to give you the fee back.
Ryouko: This is the wrong time to be returning it to me! [That's a terrible drawing!]
47.
Shinzou: I guess I should write poems about you in my notebook now...
Ryouko: Huh? That's just creepy... // I'd forgotten about it!
48.
Ryouko: I decided to // start dating Shinzou.
49.
Mizuhara: O-Oh? / Oh no...
Ryouko: A-Ah...I'm sorry!
Mizuhara: Even though I was sure you'd given up... // Ryou-sama...
Ryouko: Me?! // W-Well...let's be friends from now on!
Mizuhara: Hmm~
Shinzou: I'm really glad that it didn't work... // I'm crying because I'm so relieved. [I'm sure that's it...]
Mizuhara: You're Tamiya-kun's girlfriend and a sister to me... // Sorry...I'm talking too much!
50.
Hime: I'm hungry.
Takada: That's because you ended up not getting to eat any shame yesterday. // It's unfortunate that I can't feel full // because I don't know the feeling of shame.
Hime: What a useless secretary.
Takada: But if I was able to fall in love once, // then I might be able to experience shame.
Hime: You haven't fallen in love before?
Takada: Real love has always been most important to me.
Hime: I wish you'd just die.
Takada: Ah...your eyes are colder than ever.
51.
Hime: At this rate, I'm going to die!
Takada: It seems like things will be okay.
Shinzou: You were there that time! / It got embarrassing all of a sudden!
