Translated by : Kaori Hasegawa Sponsored and brought to you by : Alberto Mazzetto Story and Art by : Masakazu Katsura <6> Moemi: I heard you haven't been coming to school, but what's wrong? You can't do that, you'll flunk a year again. Youta: You used to work here before. Moemi: Oh, you can't change the subject like that! Moemi: But, I'm ditching school like this, so I can't say such a big things, huh... <7> Youta: If we can go back to that time, I can do well... Moemi: Eh? Youta: Do you want to go out. Youta: Because Moemi-chan came, I'm full of confidence. It's easy for me to confirm my love to her now, but wait until we get to that place... <8> Takashi: They aren't here... I thought it would be here... Ai: Why here? Takashi: here is... <9> Takashi: Where Youta's heart was broken by Moemi... Ai: ...I see... That's why the starting point is here... Ai: But, they aren't here, so... Either Moemi-chan didn't come, or they already left, or... They went somewhere else. Sound: Za. <10> Ai: Can i ask you...one thing? Takashi: What? Ai: Youta said you took part in those guys attacking Moemi-chan... <11> Takashi: Let's not talk about that...now. Ai: Youta's just misunderstanding, right?! Takashi: I can't tell you anything just yet. Sound: Da. <12> Sound: Niko. Sound: Pon. Ai: There is something behind this, right. Isn't that so? Ai: You don't look like you'd do something bad. You're eyes are so clear, so. Ai: I wonder if seeing people's good points is a characteristic of Video Girls... Takashi: But... It's true that its' my responsibility for not protecting Moemi-chan well. <13> Ai: If something comes up, talk to me!! I'll help you!! Ai: I can't leave you alone. You're Youta's best friend! Takashi: ...Best friend, huh... Ai: Anyway, let's find you; before he confesses his love to Moemi-chan. <14> Youta: You're not wearing a skirt. Moemi: Well... For some reason, I don't feel like wearing skirts. Youta: I see, I've only seen you in a skirt, so... But, it looks good on you. Moemi: Thanks... Youta: Still... Those guys attack on her is affecting her... I bet... Or, is it just her mood... <15> Sound: Za. Youta: I'm planning to swim now. Moemi: Eh! Moemi: But I don't have a bathing suit, let's not, okay! Youta: They have them, you can buy one... Moemi: But... Youta: Don't you have any money? Moemi: It's not like that... I don't want to...show my body... <16> Youta: Okay... Then, we won't... So, she's still hurt about the other day... Moemi: Sorry... Youta: Takashi! Moemi-chan is deeply hurt!! Youta: I'll forget all my hesitations toward you today! I'll ask Moemi-chan to go out with me! I can't trust you or anyone else, so I'll protect her! Moemi: Hey... Youta: Eh? <17> Moemi: Well......Did you hear? From Ai-chan... I was... Well......On the day of the typhoon... Youta: Day of the typhoon? What about it? She didn't say anything about it... Youta: What about it? Moemi: Eh? Ah, it's okay! If you don't know about it, it's okay! Youta: Oh, what is it? I'm curious now, tell me. Moemi: No. It's nothing. Youta: Let's forget about that day, Moemi-chan. I won't tell you anything about Takashi. I can't make the scar on her heart any deeper... Ai: Ah. Ai: There they are! <18> Ai: There's Moemi-chan too! That's on the way to the hill where Youta was rejected. Is he going to confess his love to her there... Ai: We have to go now!! he'll be rejected on that hill again!! Sound: Gita bata. Gacha gacha. Takashi: You can't go gita bata*... It looks like it'll take time to get down. *expression being hurried. Ai: U... Sound: Noro noro. Gara gara. <19> Youta: What's wrong? Moemi: Nothing. Moemi: It's been a long time since I came here... Moemi: From Masaazu to that pool... And finally, this place. It seems just like we've been replaying that time when I went out with Moteuchi-kun and Niimai-kun during winter vacation. I still remember what Niimai-kun told me here... Takashi: You're...not my type. Sound: Zuki... Moemi: If I remember now, he's been cold to me since then... But he's not anymore. He saved me. I have only Niimai-kun... <20> Moemi: Anyway, what is Moteuchi-kun thinking... Youta: We came back to the starting point... We'll start over from here. If I confess my love to her, something must change. Something is wrong now... So, I have to change it. Sound: Doki doki doki doki doki doki. Youta: But... Dammit... Sound: Gu. Youta: My courage is getting smaller and smaller... I thought I could say it easily... My mind is starting to cool down... Sound: Doki doki doki. Youta: I thought and thought, and seriously decided, but. Dammit!! Dammit!! Dammit!! It's just a small sentence! Am I going to make the same mistake again! Sound: Dokun dokun. Youta: Say it! Say it!! Say it!!! Sound: Dokun dokun. <21> Youta: Mo... Sound: Dokun dokun dokun dokun dokun dokun. Ai: Don't be hasty, Youta! You can't see around! You can't confess your love now! You'll be hurt more!! Moemi: Moteuchi-kun. Sound: Doki doki doki doki. Moemi: We didn't go to the fortune teller's house... Sound: Doki doki doki doki. <22> Ai: It seems like a bad mood. If we go out there recklessly, everything will be messed up... What should we do... Youta: The fortune teller is...usually right... <23> Youta: Because I'm afraid for you to know what she would say... Moemi: ...Wh-What result!? Narrator: Youta felt like he was getting pale because he said something too close to the point... His heart beat rapidly, and his mind became confused. After all, just his mouth was moving... Youta: Moemi-chan! Sound: Doki. Sound: Za. Ai: !? Takashi-kun!! End of Chapter
