Haven't i made up my mind, without a doubt!? I told myself that she must have appeared for someone else. I've decided to go out with Nobuko who really like me, but. I want to run to Ai because I want to know what's going on with Ai clearly. But, if I go, I'll hurt Nobuko-chan. <150> Youta: --But!. Sound: Ba. Nobuko: Senpai!! Youta: Sorry. Nobuko-chan. <151> Youta: Why did she lose her memory? Where is she living now? I can't. Till I make sure then. Ai!! Ai: Youta. Youta: Not only then. At last. I. Ai. <152> Youta: Ai!! Sound: Ga. Ai: What are you doing all of a sudden!! You're really too familiar!! <153> Nobuko: Senpai. Senpai. Youta: Ha! What kind of person am I. What am I thinking, Nobuko-chan wants me answer, but. I can't answer with this kind of mind! Nobuko: Don't force yourself, Senpai. You want to go, right? <154> Youta: Nobuko-chan. She's forcing herself. This girl. I won't go. I won't go! What are you talking about Nobuko-chan. You're misunderstanding. <155> Ai: So there you guys are! I saw you from behind, I thought it could be. I was just going through without saying anything, but this is the first time I've seen a classmate in the city, so. Youta: It's not the first time with me. Ai: Are you guys going out? <156> Ai: Hey, it's nothing to hide about. Nobuko: Oh, no, we're not like that. Youta: Nobuko-chan. Ai: Oh yeah. <157> Ai: Then I'll take him! Sound: Ba. Nobuko: No you don't!! Ai: I'm just kidding. Don't get so excited. Sound: Po. Ai: I'm not so silly as to interrupt your love. So, I'll disappear now. Nobuko: Ah. <158> Nobuko: Oh, yeah! I have something to do!! I have to go! Amano-san, please look after Senpai! Youta: Eh? Ai: Ha? Youta: W-wait! Sound: Da. Ai: What's she doing. Youta: She's worried about me. Nobuko: What am I doing. My words and my actions are incoherent. Sob, sob. <159> Ai: What do you want to do now? Do you want to see a movie? Youta: Movie. I remember I asked Ai to go to a movie with me before, but she refused. Ai: It's a waste of time just to wit there for two hours, not saying anything. I'd rather talk to you, like this. Youta: At the time, I thought, "Why?" but I understood Ai wanted to talk to me a little more than she can now. But, Ai, right now. is totally opposite. A movie is just for killing time. It's a pain. Ai: If you don't want to, I'll go home. You don't have to force yourself to be with me. Youta: Shall we see a movie. <160> Sound: Chira. Youta: She's buying household goods. So, she started a new life somewhere? Ai: Why are you looking at my ham, kinky guy. Youta: No, I'm not!! <161> Moemi: Moteuchi-kun! Youta: Moemi-chan. Moemi: What's going on here!? Weren't you dating Nobuko-chan!? She was walking away and crying!! Youta: She was forcing her self so much. That girl. Ai: Gee, then I'll bring her back. Which way did she go? hold this. Moemi: To the station. Ai: Okay. <162> Moemi: Does Ai-chan have amnesia!? Youta: Yeah. So I'm worried how she's doing now. Moemi: But then why did you just let Nobuko-chan go. Youta: That's right, it wasn't wise, hunh. This weak mind has yielded only bad results so far. Where is Takashi? Did you finish your date today? <163> Moemi: We just broke up. Youta: Eh? Moemi: Moteuchi-kun. Don't you think some other feelings camouflage the feelings of 'like'? For example. just interested.or.just thinking so.or sympathy, or envy. After I broke up with Niimai-kun, I was thinking while I was walking. I think I'm tired of being tied up by 'thoughts' and 'envy'. I untied them, so I feel relaxed now. <164> Ai: I found her. Youta: Nobuko-chan! Nobuko: Senpai. Youta: I remember, my whole body felt relieved when I was going to say, "Let's go out," to Nobuko-chan. Maybe it was because I got tired of following after my feelings toward Ai, which would no longer succeed, like Moemi-chan. Ai: What are you guys doing. Aren't you really going out? Nobuko: No. We're not. Sound: Ga. <165> Youta: Hehehe, actually, we are. Right. Nobuko: Senpai. Youta: Relax my body and start off in a new direction!
