Side Text: Tetsuki's Second Round

Tetsuki: ...Isaki-san, I did tell you that I would be going to the airport by train, right?

Isaki: High school kids shouldn't be so reserved. Come on, get in.

Tetsuki: Is not that I'm being reserved---

Takaoka-Dad: Tetsuki!

Page 2

Takaoka-Dad: Sorry, almost forgot! These charms!

Takaoka-Dad: Mom gave me these so you could give them to Chika and the rest----

Tetsuki: Dad, this is Chika's aunt, Isaki-san

Takaoka-Dad: Eh?!

Tetsuki: Isaki-san, this is my dad.

Takaoka-Dad: Oh my, oh my... I apologize for my appearance right now... Than you very much for always taking care of my son.

Isaki: Not at all, no matter how you look at it, it's the other way around.

Isaki: This time as well... Thanks to Tetsuki-kun's help, Chika and the Koto Club were able to go to Nationals with smiles on their faces

Page 3

Isaki: I sincerely thank you

Tetsuki: Wai- Isaki-sa...

Takaoka-Dad: Is that right?

Tetsuki: Eh, no...

Isaki: You didn't hear anything from Tetsuki-kun?

Takaoka-Dad: let's see... I did hear that Chika was in some kind of trouble.

Takaoka-Dad: Oh boy, look at you!

Tetsuki: It wasn't that big of a thing

Takaoka-Dad: When you come back home, tell us all about it. Mom will also be happy to hear it.

Takaoka-Dad: Haha Well, as you can probably tell I don't know the details of it.

Page 4

Takaoka-Dad: If my son has done something for Chika, is because that's how important he is to him.

Takaoka-Dad: It makes me really proud that my son has a friend like that.

Takaoka-Dad: I thank you as well.

Isaki: He is so nice, your Dad.

Page 5

Isaki: He gives off the "Definitely Takaoka-kun's father" vibes

Tetsuki: Is that so... When can I find the time to give them these?

Isaki: I wish my idiot brother took some notes from his book.

Tetsuki: ...Will Chika's father come listen this time---

Isaki: He won't.

Isaki: Probably.

Isaki: He seems busy with work.

Isaki: And he doesn't ask about how Chika is doing at all.

Page 6

Tetsuki: Umm... May I ask you a question?

Isaki: But of course, Takaoka-kun you are basically family at this point!

Tetsuki: ...

Tetsuki: Um, was he always like that? Chika's father, I mean.

Isaki: ...I wonder. I don't know.

Tetsuki: Eh...?

Isaki: My brother is 10 years older than me, you see. Around the time I was in the 1st or 2nd year of grade school, he got in a fight with my father, left home, and got estranged.

Isaki: Well, as far as I can remember, he was kind.

Page 7

Isaki: But people change.

Isaki: When they don't want to change, they are unable to stay the same.

Isaki: And yet, when they do want to change, they can't do so easily.

Isaki: We are strange creatures.

--Flashback begins--

Isaki: ---Brother? It has been a while

Isaki: About what I mentioned before about Chika's National competition... Yeah.

Isaki: Brother, I know you don't have any intention to go, but I just thought to tell you about the date and place.

Chika's Father: ...Did he ask you to do that?

Page 8

Isaki: No way. Don't be so conceited. Chika is not waiting for you anymore, Brother.

Isaki: Now he lives for himself. He is working hard to grasp his own happiness.

Isaki: If you come to listen, I think he would be happy, but if you don't, Chika will be ok with that too.

Chika: Eh?

Isaki: You know, if you want me to ask my brother to come, tell me!

Chika: ...ummm--.... Not really.

Page 9

Chika: Just with you, Tetsuki, and Granny. If you three come then it's more than enough for me!

Chika: Ah, thanks for taking care of that! I wonder if the Principal and Vice-Principal will also come to listen!

Isaki: So, brother, you even lost against his school teachers.

Isaki: This time I'm calling you, Brother, for your own benefit.

Page 10

Isaki: If you say that you really have no interest in Chika anymore, and have no intention of getting involved in his life in the future

Isaki: Then I won't say anything anymore. I won't call again.

Isaki: But if that's not the case

Isaki: Then Brother, you will be the one regretting not listening to his Nationals performance.

Isaki: Think carefully about your decision.

--Flashback ends--

Page 11

Chika + 3 baka: Ooooooooooooohhhh!!!

Chika + 3 baka: It looks well on you, Momoya!!

Natsu: Does it matter if it suits me or not?

Hiro: sniff... I never thought the day Momoya-kun put on the club T-shirt would ever come...

Satowa: It's so deeply moving...

Momoya: I have the incredible urge to take it off now.

Chika: Wait, Yoshinaga, aren't your eyes kinda red? And aren't they swollen?

Atsumu: Eh?

Page 12

Atsumu: I- Is that so? Huh...?

Atsumu: I thoroughly put a cold cloth in them yesterday before going to sleep, though

Chika: ...Did you cry?

Atsumu: Ah, but!

Atsumu: They were happy tears!!

Chika: Tears of happiness...

Atsumu: They were tears of incredible happiness

Atsumu: Yesterday Momoya-kun cheered me up,

Atsumu: and then he laughed...

Page 13

Chika: I see

Chika: Good for you!

Atsumu: Yeah!

Akira: Everyone, good morning! Apologies for the delay

Kota: Ah, the teachers are her-

Page 14

Kota: Aki-chan-sensei is also wearing the club t-shirt!!!

Akira: Well, after all, they went through the trouble to make one for me as well.

Kota: Woaah, this is great, you look like our classmate!!

Sane: It looks good on you

Kota: So cute--

Hiro: Suzuka-chan, you are the same as always.

Suzuka: Sorry about that.

Hiro: Hey, now that we are all like this, we should take a commemorative picture!

Kota: Woah, I wanna take one, I wanna!!

Keishi: Ah, then I will take i-

Mittsu: Keishi-san you also have to be in the picture, please!

Takezou: I will ask a hotel employee for to please do us the favor, then.

Sane: Thanks!

Hotel Employee: I will take it then---

Everyone: Please, do!!

Hotel Employee: Then...

Page 15

Hotel Employee: Say cheese!!

Chapter title: The Curtain Raises

Side Text: Let's finish on a high note with these members!!

Page 16

Tsukaji: Oooh-- So this is the stage for the decisive battle...!

Tsurugi: Every year is so exciting!

Komaki: Blegh--- Is so hot--- Let's get inside quickly---

Komaki: When you told me it was going to be in Hokkaido I thought I was lucky and I would get some summer heat refuge but is hot like anywhere else---

Tsukaji: What did you say??

Tsukaji: Wasn't you who told me after the qualifying round that you were deeply moved by the profundity of Japanese music?

Tsurugi: You said you really wanted to hear Tokise's performance, didn't you?!

Komaki: Eh? Ah-

Page 17

Komaki: It is true that I want to hear Tokise's performance, though. It's the school I'm rooting for---

Tsukaji: Rooting...

Komaki: But their turn isn't until tomorrow---

Komaki: So even if I'm not here today then--

Tsukaji: What on Earth do you think your job is

Komaki: But today alone around 30 schools will be performing, right? I don't think I will be able to last till the end--

Tsurugi: You shut up!!

Chika: Oh?

Chika: It's Mr. (Uncle) Tsukaji!!

Tsukaji: Eh? Ah!!

Komaki: !!

Page 18

Tsukaji: Kudo-ku

Komaki: Kyaaa--!!! It's Tokise---♡♡ Oh my God you are all so cute--♡ So cool---♡♡

Komaki: You are sparkling--♡

Chika: Eh?

Komaki: Ah, nice to meet you, I'm Japanese Music Days rising star, Komaki--

Tsukaji: Kudo-kun!! And also everyone else...

Tsukaji: I'm so glad we could meet before it begins...!

Tsukaji: I'm so very sorry for the whole trouble you went through!

Page 19

Tsukaji: I really wanted to apologize to you in person.

Takezou: Ah, no, why are you apologizing...

Tsukaji: The reason why there was such a big uproar is probably because of the TV program. And as the Director, I was the one to that did the story about you...

Tsukaji: If I hadn't done that program, then people wouldn't be looking at Kudo-kun that way--

Chika: but the fact that I got into fights is true.

Chika: When the offer to participate in a TV program came in, I should have predicted something like that could happen, and that's one me. Is not your fault. I mean

Page 20

Chika: You listened to our performance, you thought it was genuinely good, and that's the reason you came to interview us, right?

Chika: I'm happier about that more than anything else.

Mittsu: That's right! In my case, my mom was super happy!

Sane: Yeah, in my house as well. It was the first time I could brag to my family

Mittsu: Right?

Takezou: Is true that a lot happened, but thanks to you we learned a lot of things as well.

Takezou: We are very grateful.

Page 21

Suzuka: Fu You heard them.

Chika: More importantly, uncle!

Chika: Our performance has improved tons since you last heard it! Look forward to it!

Tsukaji: Ye- yeah

?: Chika, you idiot, don't put new hurdles on us Ahaha

Kota: See you---

Tsukaji: Ugh

Tsurugi: Tsukaji-san

Page 22

Tsurugi: This is bad. I am also rooting for Tokise to win it now.

Komaki: Yeeey--- One of us, one of us---

Tsukaji: I- I understand how you feel but we have to keep an objective approach...

Tsurugi: What are you saying, when your eyes are full of tears...

Tsukaji: Ugh.

Atsumu: Woah

Chika: Ooooh...

Page 23

Atsumu: Waah, the atmosphere is really different from the audience--

Sane: Wow, that's the jury's seat.

Chika: This whole area's access is restricted

Takezou: Where should we seat?

Chika: Hmmm... Oh, it looks like there are some empty seats over there

Page 24

Chika: Excuse me, can I seat here?

Tomoe: Yes, no proble-

Tomoe: Ugh.

Tomoe [thoughts]: Tokise!!!

Sane: Huh? Hey, it's the gril from yesterday!

Sane: What a coincidence...

Page 25

Sane: ...

Satowa: Kudo, I will sit there so

Satowa: You sit over here

Chika: Yeah

Chika: Sorry

Satowa: You did nothing to apologize about, right?

Page 26

Tomoe: Ah.. uh...

Page 27

Hiro: You go, Hozuki-chan!

Takezou: Ye- Yeah

Haru: ---Ah, aren't those the Tokise people?

Akari: Eh- By Tokise you mean those people who were involved in that incident!?

Note: 20/20 vision

Haru: Yeah, look, over there. What a relief, they were not suspended after all.

Page 28

Sentaro: Hmph! Getting dragged into some ridiculous incident before the competition.

Sentaro: To get one less rival because they were suspended is super lame.

Haru: So you say, but you were so worried. You are not honest, Sen-chan.

Sentaro: Huh? Who was worried!?

Akari: Senpai, you are tsundere!!

Sentaro: What!?

Imari: Isn't it super noisy in here?

Imari: Opening ceremonies are a real pain in the ass. It's optional, so isn't it ok to not show up?

Luka: I like this kind of environment. It's like beginning with the right attitude.

Page 29

Luka: Right, Miran?

Miran: ...I don't like it

Asano: Ousuke

Ousuke: Asa-chan

Asano: ... This is finally it.

Ousuke: Yeah.

Meiryo new member: ---...

Tsukaji: Oh

Tsukaji: It's finally beginning

Page 30

Komaki: "The clash of the youth of high school students", was it?

Tsukaji: Yeah. This is the climax.

Chapter Title: #[Ai]

Side text: One night after that confession...

Chika[flashback]: I really really love you too, Hozuki

Satowa[thoughts]: I...

Page 2

Satowa[thoughts]: I couldn't sleep AT ALL...

Satowa: AAAAAAH

Satowa[thoughts]: What do I do, is morning already!?

Satowa[thoughts]: I just kept thinking about that moment and now... Am I an idiot? Before the competition!! It's just before the competition!!!

Satowa[thoughts]: Aaah what kind of face should I make today!? No, but Kudo just acted so normally!

Satowa[thoughts]: This is Kudo we are talking about so maybe he was playing along with the rest and he meant it as a friend??

Page 3

Satowa[thoughts]: Even so...

Satowa[thoughts]: I am telling you is just before the competition, CONCENTRATE.

Isaki: I heard everything, Chika-- You said that you LOVED Satowa-chan in front of everyone--?

Page 4

Chika: Yeah

Isaki: ---Eeh

Isaki: "Yeah"...? Wait a second this is not the reaction I expected...

Chika: But for real, those guys immediately told you.

Isaki: No, wait, why are you acting so norma...

Isaki: Wh... When you said you loved her you couldn't have possibly...

Isaki: ..meant you loved her as a friend, right...

Chika: Well, I love her as a friend too

Isaki: I knew it!!

Isaki: I cannot believe you! Playing like that with the heart of a lady!! That's why you--....

Isaki: ----...

Page 5

Isaki: As a friend... Too..?

Isaki: I- I see...

Chika: Why are you blushing?

Isaki: Why you say... You too, why are you acting all smug!?

Isaki: You used to turn red when I teased you about something related to Satowa-chan, and would just play dumb!

Page 6

Chika: Is because I didn't want to think about it like "something to be embarrassed about"

Chika: Someone saying that they love you

Chika: Or telling someone that you love them

Page 7

Chika: I thought it was something to be really happy about.

Page 8

Chika: ...Don't cry

Isaki: Of course I'm gonna cry!

Isaki: What is this--- You suddenly turned into an adult! I am going to cook some red rice... *In Japan, you cook red rice and eat it to celebrate an event

Chika: You don't cook... That would just be black rice

Isaki: ...Chika, I also treasure you... Because I love you.

Page 9

Chika: Yeah, me too!

Page 10

Chika[thoughts]: Sound and what is between the sounds.

Chika[thoughts]: Words and what is between the words.

Chika[thoughts]: To convey with sound.

Page 11

Chika[thoughts]: What is conveyed by the absence of sound.

Chika: ---...

Satowa: Ah... Uh...

Satowa: G- Goo- Good-- Good Moriiing.

Chika: ...Mornin'

Chika: ...About the title, [Peace]...

Satowa: Eh...?

Chika: At the beginning, the title was the alphabet letter "I", right?

Satowa: Aah, yeah...

Page 12

Chika: I didn't think too much about it because at that time it was still (provisional), but...

Chika: I wondered if [I] could mean [Myself]

Satowa: Myself?

Chika: Yeah, the letter [I] is also the pronoun [I] in English.

Satowa: Oh my. I can't believe you actually knew that.

Chika: You kidding me?

Satowa: But I see... [Myself]...

Chika: If one part is its own person, and there's a part for each person...

Chika: I wondered if it was about the "peace" when each person stands firm and connects with another person.

Page 13

Satowa: Tha- That is really good!!

Chika: !

Satowa: Because [I] was a provisional title I didn't give it much thought either but,

Satowa: I see, the change from [I] to [Peace] also has meaning...

Satowa: If you think about it that way, you might be able to see something that was difficult to interpret before!!

Satowa: More, the whole song would change completely!!

Satowa: Kudo, practice with me for a bit!!

Chika: O- Okay...

Page 14

Sane: Th- This is... umm...

Sane: A morning practice date...?

Mittsu: I- I can feel the youth...?

Kota: This is way too calm...

Satowa: Kudo, a little bit more strength there

Chika: Right, also around here--

Takezou: You two are surprisingly a lot like always...

Hiro: Why...?

Page 15

Hiro[thoughts]: Can't you act a little bit more innocently!?

Chika: Ooh you guys are late. Let's start practicing already.

Sane: Yesterday... Was that an illusion?

Kota: These two are just a pair of koto idiots.

Hiro[thoughts]: Hozuki-chan and Chika-kun are amazing. If it was me I would definitely---...

Page 16

Takezou: Ku- Kurusu-san!? Are you alright!?

Hiro: I'm sorry, just got a little bit emotional.

Natsu: Good morning.

Hiro: Ah, good morning Momoya-ku...

Page 17

Hiro & Takezou: Momoya-kun!?

Kota: Wh-wh-what happened Momoyan!!? It's still morning you know!?

Mittsu: Did Chika's confession distort space and time!?

Chika: Hey.

Natsu: Is nothin' much. I just didn't think I wouldn't make it in time to finish my part.

Natsu: I am not ok with being in the club around the clock, but I'm not okay with dragging the performance down either.

Yoshinaga: Momoya-kun...

Sane: -Haha

Page 18

Sane: Ok, let's do this!!!

Sane: Granny, good evening---

Sane: This is Momoya. He finally came to Granny's!

Granny: Aaah the exemplary one

Natsu[thoughts]: The exemplary...?

Natsu: Thanks for having me

Page 19

Granny: When I said [the exemplary] I didn't mean it as a bad thing.

Natsu: Eh?

Granny: Those kids are always talking about you.

Granny: Saying that you have incredible sense, and always bring a perspective that they hadn't thought about. They rely on you.

Chika: Momoya, over here

Natsu: Ah, yeah.

Sane: Aaah!! I understand. [I]->The [Peace] that comes from [Me]

Page 20

Sane: When you put it like that, it makes sense!

Kota: Is something Suzu-chan would have thought-!

Sane: There might be more meaning if we use the same pronunciation

Takezou: At the beginning, I thought the [I] meant "Ai" as in [Love]. Sensei has a romantic side to him.

Kota: Ah right, he titled Tenkyuu!

Takezou: If I said that to him he would knock me out, though.

Takezou: Also, Sensei is a math teacher, so I wondered if it had something to do with the imaginary number i.

Chika: What in the hell are you talking about? Is that a spell or something

Takezou: sorry

Hiro: Ah, but if that's the case, it could also be "Ai" like the kanji used to say [Sorrow].

Hiro: I remember Suzuka-chan said something about how to express "Yang" you needed to express "Ying".

Kota: That's right, he said that!!

Page 21

Mittsu: I didn't say anything, but I always thought about the fact that [I] is the 9th letter of the alphabet, the same number of members in our club!

Kota: Ooh, seriously!? Mittsu you are amazing!!

Mittsu: Well, this was all before the 1st years came in, so in the end is a coincidence.

Sane: No, Suzu-chan might have precognition abilities!!

Satowa: If you think about, if we don't limit ourselves to the kanji of [Peace], "Ai" has a lot of meanings.

Kota: Right, right! Uummm... Ah! "Ai" as in [Meeting], for example?

Sane: Oh, that's good!

?: Even the semantic is good!

Page 22

Chika: Momoya, Yoshinaga what about you? No ideas?

Atsumu: Ummm

Atsumu: Let's see... Then, the "Ai" in [Partner], maybe?

Mittsu: Oh that's right!!

Kota: Good one, Yoshirin!

Yoshinaga: blushing

Natsu: Why are you looking at me...?

Takezou: Momoya-kun, what do you think?

Natsu: Then, what about this

Page 23

Note: [Between]

Natsu: This... Can also be read "Ai"

Chika: !! For real!?

Natsu: Sound and what is [between] the sound. Senpai, you were always obsessing over that, right?

Page 24

Chika: Momoya!!!

Sfx: Pat Pat Pat

Natsu: It hurts.

Chika: ---Amazing

Chika: I feel like this will be an amazing performance...!

Sane: I'm starting to feel giddy...

Mittsu: I'm getting excited!!

Kota: Hey, let's try to link those 9 meanings!!

Sane: Let's do it!!

Pages 25 and 26

Takezou: When [I] [meet] you, and we [gather], when we become [partners], when we learn each other's thoughts [between] the words, when we know about each other's [sorrows], and we learn abour each other's [love], when we know [ourselves], we find [Peace].

Page 27

Sane: Ooh what is this?

Mittsu: Are we geniuses?

Kota: A great interpretation has just been born!!

Hiro: But if we really think about it this way, then this song is really...

Takezou: Yeah...

Page 28

Takezou: Is our song.

Page 29

Mittsu: --Thank you for lending me your koto for so long

Mittsu: You really helped me out there!

Chika: I'm glad, then.

Mittsu: Also, sorry you had to come for it, I should have returned it mysel---

Chika: It's fiiine.

Mittsu: To tell you the truth, when I was practicing alone at home, I would get really anxious.

Mittsu: But in those moments, I would look at the dragon's tongue and see the [Chika] engraved there. That made me... How do I say...

Page 30

Mittsu: "Do your best!". Is like it was telling me I wasn't alone.

Page 31

Dragon's tongue: Chika

Chika[thoughts]: I could never figure out my solo

Page 32

Chika[thoughts]: My sound

Chika: After what happened yesterday... Was everything alright on your end?

Side text: Chika taking care of Natsu...

Natsu: Kudo-senpai, good morning

Chika: Ou

Natsu: I'm sorry for not calling

Chika: That's alright

Momoya: ...I talked to Sei for a bit before his parents arrived.

Page 2

Natsu: He said that he won't approach Kudo-Senpai or the club anymore

Chika: ...I see

Natsu: ...

Natsu: Um, Kudo-senpai

Chika: Hm?

Natsu: -----

Natsu: Are you ok with exams coming up? They are almost here

Chika: You idiot

Page 3

Chika: Why would you suddenly pop such a terrifying question?

Chika: I completely forgot!

Natsu: Glad I was able to remind you before it was too late

Chika: You brat...

Natsu[thoughts]: "Would you give Sei a chance to apologize?"

Natsu[thoughts]: This is not something I can say.

Natsu[thoughts]: He destroyed everything important to him. Then framed his of that crime and exposed him to the world...

Page 4

Natsu[thoughts]: Sei's issues have nothing to do with Kudo-senpai.

Natsu[thoughts]: I am sure the only one who would find comfort in an apology would be Sei

Natsu[thoughts]: For me to stay in the club in the first place...

Chika: Hey, Momoya-kun

Chika: You got work today?

Natsu: Not really...

Chika: Great, then you are coming with me

Natsu: --Eh?

Page 5

Sfx: Tan

Sfx: Ta Dan

Mittsu: Introducing ☆ Tecchan & Takezou-senpai's intensive exams studying session!!!

Kouta: Give a warm welcome to Momoyan on his first participation!!!!!

Page 6

Sane: My sources have told me, that Momoya happens to have really good grades.

Mittsu: I have heart that just paying attention to class he has an average of 85 points.

Kota: He is at teacher's level. He is Momo-chan-sensei!!

Chika: With that being said, we leave Yoshinaga in your care.

Natsu: Nononono, what?

Sane: I'm sorry, Momoya, but the situation is dire. You see, Yoshinaga...

Sane: He said his average in middle school was 40 points, but when I calculated properly, I realized his average was actually 33 points, and 40 points was his best score.

Natsu: ...Are you freaking serious right now...?

Tetsuki: Kurata-senpai and I already got our hands full with this guys

Takezou: It would be really helpful if you could handle Yoshinaga-kun...

Page 7

Yoshinaga: I will be in your care!!!

Natsu: ...

Hiro: --Right about now, the guys must be in the middle of their studying session in Takaoka-kun's house.

Satowa: Momoya-kun and Yoshinaga-kun also joined them

Hiro: It's something I wouldn't have thought of when I met them.

Hiro: But really, I'm just glad we are not falling apart. That was what scared me the most...

Page 8

Satowa: Me too

Hiro: Hey, Hozuki-chan. Why don't stay sleep over?

Satowa: Eh?

Hiro: I will lend you a change of clothes

Satowa: I don't want to be a bother...

Hiro: Not at all! Moreover, I would happy!

Natsu: So, for now on Math. This, this, and also this. Drill them into your head.

Page 9

Atsumu: Yes!!

Natsu: You can just discard all of this

Atsumu: Eh!?

Natsu: The test is designed in a way you can get a pretty decent grade if you hold down the basics.

Mittsu: It feels like watching the old us with Tetsuki.

Chika: There were times like that for us as well...

Tetsuki: Why are you talking like it's any different now?

Atsumu: But Momoya-kun, you are so good at studying! I had no idea.

Natsu: Not really...

Atsumu: Ah, but if you think about it your brother also goes to Meiryo--...

Page 10

Chika: That's right, he does to Meiryo. So both brothers are smart, huh.

Kota: That!

Sane: Both my older sister and younger sister are good at studying tho--

Mittsu: By the way, didn't you have the option to enter Meiryo?

Natsu[thoughts]: I'm being a bother again...

Sane: What are you talking about Mittsu. If he did that then Momoya wouldn't have met us, whom he loves so much--

Mittsu: Ah there's that too!

Natsu: Eh? Us, whom he loves so much?

Page 11

Sane: Hm? You love us, right?

Natsu: ---...

Sane: I mean, after all

Sane: Just looking at your face when we discovered you were Uzuki's little brother. You looked like an abandoned puppy.

Kota: That!!! He was totally a puppy!!

Sane: He looked so heartbroken. That was the moment I thought "This guy really love us"

Kota: I feel you!!

Mittsu: I should have taken a picture of that...

Page 12

Natsu: ----guh...

Sane: Momoyaa!! What is this, you are completely red!!! Bahahahaha

Sane: I am so sorry-- I was absolutely right in everything I said!!!

Kota: Momoyan is blushing---

Mittsu: Yes! I took a picture!!!

Natsu: Wai- Sto-

Sane: Hey, look over here Momoya.

Natsu: Stop it, damn it!!

Page 13

Sane: That's no way to talk to your seniors!

Natsu: Leave me be!!

Sane[flashback]: You too, if you need something, lemme know.

Sane[flashback]: Moreover, I'd like if you showed a bit more your lame side!

Page 14

Natsu[thoughts]: ...Ah- Dammit...

Sane[flashback]: We will make sure to laugh at you about it.

Hiro: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

Page 15

Hiro: You told Chika-kun that you like him!!? That you LIKE him!!??

Satowa: Hi-Hi-Hiro-senpai shhh, shhh!!

Hiro: Aaaaah, so-so-sorry

Hiro: Something unimaginable suddenly just happened, my heart cannot take it.

Satowa: I am sorry.

Satowa: I didn't expect it would turn out that way either...

Satowa: Those guys just kept going on about how Kudo was lonely and not loved by anyone. And Kudo too was just accepting that...

Satowa: ...I got really angry

Page 16

Hiro: And what did Kudo-kun say?

Satowa: Just after that you guys came to help us

Hiro: aaaah, I see...

Satowa: But today he acter suuuuper normal, too. He might have forgotten already.

Hiro: No, there's no way...

Satowa[thoughts]: That too might not have held any special meaning after all...

Satowa: Even so, I am ok with it.

Satowa: It's such an important time before the tournament. Kudo was able to regain his smile. If the club is at peace, then that is enough for me

Page 17

Satowa: Speaking of, Hiro-senpai do you plan on confessing to Takezou-senpai...?

Hiro: ...Eh? Di- Did I ever sa-sa-say that the person I like is Kurata?

Satowa: Ah, no... I kinda thought that must be the case... Since you said Takinami-sensei found you out...

Hiro: No way--!!! I am so easy to read!? Does everyone else know!!?

Satowa: Ah, no... I don't think the guys have realized...

Hiro: Isn't Momoya-kun really good at reading people?

Satowa: Geh... Bu- But Momoya would keep it to himself...

Page 18

Hiro: Aaaaaaah---- but I see... aaaaah---

Satowa: I- I am sorry?

Hiro: No...

Hiro: I am happy.

Hiro: The truth is, I have always wanted to have this kind of love talk with you, Hozuki-chan

Hiro: Eeeh--- That kind of thing happened!?

Mittsu: Tetsuki's curry is delicious, right--?

Page 19

Hiro: We got too caught up talking---

Natsu: Your answer columns are off

???: Chika fell asleep---

Hiro: Is the size alright?

Kota: rock scissors paper to decide bath order!

Natsu: Wait, are we staying overnight?

Sane: Of course!

Kota: ---Huh?

Kota: Momoya fell asleep?

Sane: Yeah-- so it seems.

Page 20

Kota: Even though he kept saying that he never slept at other people's houses

Mittsu: Our voices must have been like a lullaby

Sane: Shold we paint on his face?

Takezou: He must have been really relieved

Takezou: What happened this time must have been tough on Momoya-kun.

Sane: That's right

Chika: But my plushy...

Tetsuki: It's not yours, to begin with

Chika: I cannot sleep without it

Tetsuki: Just hug a normal pillow

Natsu: It's fine by me

Chika: It's not like anything interesting happened...

Chika[flashback]: I want to be with them.

Kota: Eeeh this is really well taken!

Hiro: The Hozuki-chan that when first got her smartphone just knew how to take photos in burst mode has come so far...

Chika: Y-you guys I think that's about enough

San-baka: Oh?

Kota: What is this, Chika-kun? Is there something you don't want us to see?

Chika: No, is just...

Sane: For now, let's just kick up the volume

Chika: Stop messing with me

Chika: Give me that phone!!

Kota: Hey, Mittsu, pass!!
