P.170
Yoshizuki:	What is it?
Students:	Hahaha!
Seto:		Ah! Damn it!
Student:	Disgusting! You're disgusting!
Seto:		(Those women back there are so noisy!)

P.171
Seto:		(Idiots! Why're they speaking so loudly?! This is a cafe! Can they keep quiet? 
		Libra has bad luck today? It's only some nonsense from a magazine!
		Although I'm saying this, my mind is extremely scared. I can't stand myself anymore, 	
		damn it!
		Where has my super cool braveness gone? Calm down! Don't I remember? I have 	
		Fifty-One-Stone's benefit!
		Don't worry, I know I can do it! Just keep up the mood I have had, everything will be 	
		going smoothly... 
		However, the noise from behind makes me can't calm down and can't confront my 	
		feelings. What should I do? What about changing a place?... no, if we change the 		
		place, perhaps the fortune will go away...)
Yoshizuki:	Seto-kun!

P.172
Seto:		Excuse me... I have to go to the restroom.
		(The feeling has been so good, but it's all gone now. I gotta adjust my mood somehow... 	
		Don't get discouraged and don't force it! Fify-One-Stone's benefit is not going to go 	
		disappear.)

P.173
Seto:		(Actually, I don't have to confront today. Anyway, I'll see how it goes.)
Student:	That's right!
Seto:		(However, these girls are way too noisy! Look closely, they're from the same school as I. 	
		Shame on them! It's so unbelievable that I had such good feeling. What a pity...)
P.174
Seto:		(I bought the reference book only for today's date. I don't even understand anything it 	
		says. From now on, I must study the book more often!)
Yoshizuki:	I'm a little surprised...
Seto:		Huh?
Yoshizuki:	I didn't know that you are interested in studying! I thought your brain was full of porn stuff.
Seto:		How can that be?
		What...? You're talking about what happened in the hot spring?

P.175
Seto:		It was all Teratani's fault! Didn't he tell you the truth?
		(Here comes the chance. I can explain everything right now!)
Yoshizuki:	But it seemed that the girl and you were having a great time.
Seto:		No... it's... not like that...
Yoshizuki:	Did you do anything dirty?
Seto:		No... we didn't...
		.........
		But her butt did sit on my belly.
Yoshizuki:	Dirty!

P.176
Yoshizuki:	It seems that it's not all your fault; however, you not only did something dirty, but also 
		saw that girl's naked body.
Seto:		No! I couldn't resist seeing her naked body, and I only had a glance. I tried not to look at 	
		your naked body on purpose, and I didn't see it. What do you mean by that? You think I'm 	
		totally abnormal, don't you!
		(How's that? That's my lofty quality. And I strongly denied it!)
Yoshizuki:	Why? Why only my body?

P.177
Seto:		(Oh no! I accidentally said... Why... What should I do? How should I explain?
		Why? Why'd she ask that question? Is she expecting some kind of answers, from me, 	
		that will make her happy? Or is she trying to know how I feel?)

P.178
Seto:		(Alright! This means it's time to confront my feelings! She's expecting me to answer 	
		honestly and to confront my true feelings.
		OK! Let me settle everything right now.)
Student:	I did it! Yeah!
Seto:		(Here they come again. Damn...)
Yoshizuki:	Are you only interested in the naked body of the girl that you like?
Seto:		Huh?
Yoshizuki:	That girl and you are going along... pretty good, right?

P.179
Seto:		(Wait a minute! Iori-chan has been blaming me from the beginning. Does that mean 	
		because she cares about me?
		To find out how she thinks, I can use Iori's attitude to ask, "You're not happy with that?") 
		Nah! We didn't see each other afterwards.
Yoshizuki:	So mean. You obviously like her; otherwise, you wouldn't be piling those stones with her.
		It wasn't nice that I put the last stone on the top, right?
Seto:		When'd you know that...?
Yoshizuki:	Huh?

P.180
Seto:		Fifty-One-Stone's true meaning...
Yoshizuki:	!
Seto:		(From the beginning, Iori-chan knew the true meaning of Fify-One-Stone. And she lied 	
		to me that it was for the university entrance exam.
		If she knows that Fify-One-Stone is a curse for forever love...
		Iori-chan... this is the first time that... you unveil your feelings... 
		I'm not puzzled anymore. The situation is just perfect!)

P.181
Seto:		The girl I truly like is... 
		(Da..mn! Not at this important moment...)

P.182		
Seto:		(But I've already decided that I'm going to get distracted by the noise!
		Only five words left... "right in front of me." These five words.)
		Right in...

		*Iori's cell phone rings.

Yoshizuki:	Excuse me.
		Hello? Hello? Hello? Nami! Oh! That thing... uh-huh...

P.183
Yoshizuki:	Wait a second. I'm in a cafe right now. I'm going outside...
Seto:		(Damn! Why'd the cell phone ring at a time like this. I just hesitated, and...
		Nevermind. I'll say it again when she comes back.)
Student:	Ha! Ha! Ha! Idiot!
Seto:		KEEP QUIET!

P.184
Izumi:		Ah!
Seto:		??
Izumi:		Unbelievable! It's you! Oh my god~!
Seto:		Wh... what's the matter?			

P.185
Izumi:		I thought we'd never meet again. I can't believe that we go to the same school!
		You really are my destined lover!
Student:	Izumi-chan, what's going on?
Seto:		Huh?
		You... you are Izumi-chan?

		*Izumi hugs Seto. At this moment, Iori comes back.

Seto:		Oh no!
