Nami:		Hey, Seto! Go to the cafeteria and buy me a loaf of bread.
Seto:		Why me?
Nami:		Ah! Did you forget?

Page 153
Nami:		Yes, you were tricked by Teratani, but you saw me naked. Do you think you can go away with it?
Seto: 		Alright.
Teratani:	Ichitaka-san, how are you doing?
Seto:		Not good!
Teratani:	Hahaha......

Page 154
Teratani:	Everyone is just too mean. I've explained everything. I bravely told them, "All of you think 
		carfully, is Seto that kind of guys who peek at girls taking bath?" At that moment, 
everyone 		agreed with me.
Seto:		Really...?
Teratani:	.........
		Alright, alright, Seto! I apologize to you. I will make you and Yoshizuki to have a romantic 	
		night. So now can you forgive me?
		Ok?
Seto:		*Smiles*

Page 155
Teratani:	Yes! You forgive me! OK! Leave everything to me.
Seto:		No, thanks. Teratani.
		I'm not going to be passive anymore. Being passive doesn't do any good to me. Also, I've 
		forgiven you, so don't worry.
Teratani:	What's happening to you, Ichitaka?
		Why does your body become such big all of a sudden?

Koshinae:	What an unexpected meeting!
Seto:		Yeah, but I'm not affected by Izumi-chan. 
Koshinae:	You two were just congenial.
Seto:		Congenial?
Koshinae:	She was carrying some kind of positive energy, and you naturally absorbed it.
		So, speaking honestly, I feel that when you are with her you become more and more active.
Seto:		Koshinae, please stop it. I would feel sad.

Page 157
Koshinae:	Huh? Why?
Seto:		Because it means unfortunate from different points of view.
		Compared with Yoshizuki, Izumi and I are more congenial? I won't be able to meet Izumi 
		anymore...!
Koshinae:	Oh! I didn't mean that. Now the situation is not very clear, but since Izumi is not your 	
		girlfriend, Yoshizuki and you are the most congenial.
Seto:		Yeah! That's right!
Koshinae:	(Saying that he's acting more actively? Honestly, he actually becomes pure.)
Seto:		Anyways,

Page 158
Seto:		From today on, I have to be more active.
		(At that time those encouraging words that i said to Izumi has some effect on me. Also... 	
		the grey fog used to be inside my body is gradually disappearing.
		Maybe this is Fifty-one-Stone's benefit.)
Yoshizuki:	Koshiane!		

Page 159
Yoshizuki:	Were you looking for me?
Koshinae:	Ah!
		I wasn't looking for you.
Yoshizuki:	Huh??
Seto:		Sorry, sorry. It was me.
		If I don't do it this way, i won't be able to talk to you, right?
Yoshizuki:	What's the matter?
Seto:		(Now, to Iori, my method to get to her is...)
		
Page 160
Seto:		(Only this.
Yoshizuki:	Because Izumi said that the stones are for passing the university entrance exam, that's 	
		why I helped.
Seto:		Now the situation is that I can only ask her the university entrance exam, so that she 	
		will help me.
		So, I gotta use this method to get to her.)
Seto:		I'm sorry that I asked you to come with me.
Yoshizuki:	.........
Seto:		I hope that reference book is not sold out. 
		But we have to get there to find out.

Page 161
Seto:		(Weird. How come I'm being so calm right now...?
		It seems like I can confront my feelings without any problems…)
Yoshizuki:	I found it! 
		Look!

Page 162
Seto:		(Oh!)
Yoshizuki:	Oh!
		Oh yeah, I don't talk to pervert like you.
Seto:		.........
		How can I buy the reference book if you take it away?
		(I'll keep waiting until you forgive me.)

Page 163
Seto:		Yoshizuki, what do i have to do to make you forgive me?
Yoshizuki:	......
Seto:		You're still not talking to me.
		Yoshizuki, I need to talk to you.
Seto:		(Thinking carfully, the words that I'm saying are quite weird, it's like I'm not the past 	
		Seto anymore.
		Why can I say such words so fluently...?)

Page 164
Seto:		(However, Iori's attitude is so resolute...
		I don't think today I can confront my feelings...
		Nevermind, I don't have to be hurry, I still have chance tomorrow...)
Yoshizuki:	Seto-kun! Wanna have a drink?

Page 165
Seto:		(Here comes the chance!
		Everything is going smoothly!
		I can't imagine that today I have a chance to talk to her!
		Is this Fifty-one-stone's benefit...? Or Izumi has given me positive energy...?
		Although she's still not talking to me, I don't have the idea of giving up!
		Since we're sitting face to face in this cafe, I gotta confront my feelings!)

Page 166
Yoshizuki:	What do you... want to talk about...?
Seto:		(Now, confront my feelings!)
Yoshizuki:	You're quite serious about the university entrance exam!
Seto:		No!
Yoshizuki:	Huh?
Seto:		(Very good! I have a great mood now, am very relaxed. Now, I'm neither afraid nor shy, 	
		and I can say anything.) 
		What I want to talk about is...
		(Damn! It's so noisy back there! What are they doing?! I'm being distracted now!)
Student A:	So, what's your horoscope? Is it Libra?
Seto:		Yoshizuki... what I want to say is...
Student B:	Of course not! Libra has bad luck today.
Seto:		(Calm down! Take it easy! Don't get distracted by the noise!)
Yoshizuki:	What is it?
Seto:		Honestly...
		(Go! Muster up my courage all at once! Before the courage goes away, I must tell her!
		Wait a minute! My horoscope is Libra! I have a bad luck today? What the...?)
