Guy Yeah..... The paperbags they had a print of something publisher on it Ichitaka No way, Iori with nude pictures..... Teratani That’s it..... Ichitaka I’m going to ask her! Guy What was that? Teratani Oh well. Page 107 Teratani You think she's gone to discuss the photo shoot? Ichitaka I guess so! Teratani Well, I guess she knows she is cute. Page 108 Ichitaka She is not that kind of a girl! Ichitaka No matter how many times I think, its not possible!! Maybe it wasn’t publishers that she was meeting. Even though it was, she would‘ve told me when I saw her this morning. Teratani Are you stupid? Page 109 Ichitaka What’s up with you? Are you trying to hustle me? Ichitaka Aren’t you supporting me and Iori? Teratani That’s why I’m saying. Teratani Don’t be too confidence about her just because you went to trip which pisses me off. Teratani Be like that when you actually get her! Page 110 Ichitaka Hmmf! I don't need to confess anything! Ichitaka We're already just like lovers! Our thoughts and spirits are one! Teratani Man! You are hopeless! Teratani Anyway, I know the dirty photo rumor is true. I was there when because the play team members were talking about it. Ichitaka So what? Page 111 Teratani What? Ichitaka Nothing..... I know! Its him (her play team leader) again!! Page 112 Ichitaka Seems like talks about the nude photo shoot is true. But I'm sure Iori isn't doing this voluntarily It must be that guy! I'm sure it's the president of the drama society who cajoled her to do so. Iori! I must think of some way... Page 113 Ichitaka What is this!!? Itsuki heh heh heh Ichitaka How could you get in someone’s house without asking!! Itsuki Without asking? No, I was invited for the dinner. Ituki Ichitaka-chan secretly placed this photo into the camera. Very suspicious. Page 114 Ichitaka Nothing suspicious about this. I have every right to display a picture of the two of us together. Itsuki What do you mean...? Ichitaka Anyway, you know Iori is in trouble now? I must do something. I'm the only one who can save her..... Page 115 Itsuki I hope you're right about that. Well never mind, I’m going home. Could you tell that to your mom? Ichitaka Why is everyone telling me same thing.....? It’s all right, I’ll just ask her tomorrow on the way to school. Page 116 Narration The Next day Ichitaka I've been waiting here for over half an hour... Can't find Iori today... even though I came here at exactly the same time as I did the day before. Feel as if something is not right. Itsuki and Teratani's words kept recurring in my mind... Was nearly late as a result. Higemi Morning Everyone... Page 117 Ichitaka Well, I haven’t talked her all day. I don’t know I’m getting nervous.. Kids Hey! What the hell's going on?! Higemi All right everyone, this is pop emergency training, be quiet!! Get out on the hall way and follow my order Page 118 Ichitaka Now's my chance!! Ichitaka Gotta find Iori. Where did she go? Ichitaka Hold on! Ichitaka There she is! Page 119 Ichitaka I’ll make this quick, but I wanted to talk where nobody is around.... It only take 5 minutes, we better go back soon anyway. Page 120 Ichitaka Is that okay? Iori Huh? Ah... okay... Iori So, what is it? Page 121 Ichitaka Ah... Ichitaka H... How do I ask her this... Teratani Don't get cocky because you went on a trip with Iori.... Itsuki I hope you're right about that. Ichitaka Shut up you guys!! I’m not wrong!! Iori is so generous, so she is doing that for that guy even though it’s against her will. Ichitaka Ah... So... I mean... Page 122 Ichitaka Well, if you want to join the play team, Wandako (her play team’s name) is not the only one. You could do it somewhere else too. Ichitaka Am I doing the right thing? Ichitaka Why don’t you quit! Leave that guy’s team.... He is using you for foolish reason..... Ichitaka There!! I did it, she has to understand! Iori What are you talking about? Page 123 Iori Nobody is trying to use me!! Don’t insult Wandako!!
