Morisaki: Yeah. What about you, you still have your drama club? Iori: I probably won't be able to go home tonight. Iori: Sniff! Isn't it sad? Morisaki: Oh dear. If you're so busy, is it alright for you to be wasting time like this? Iori: I'm on a break! Iori: Actually, right now Seto-kun is here helping Izumi's class to prepare for the festival. Morisaki: Really? Iori: He's only here because I called him... So I thought I should go apoplogise to him... Morisaki: Oh, you mean you're worried about him? Iori: Will you cut that out?! p45==== Seto: Why is this happening to me... Kensuke: Look at me!! p46==== Seto: I think you misunderstand! I've got nothing to do with her!! Seto: How could I get involved in this stupid situation at a time like this? Kensuke: Screw your excuses! They won't make me feel better!! Seto: Besides, I decided to follow to path of study... Kensuke: Anyway, c'mere!! Seto: I wanted to be Iori-chan's steady study partner... Seto: I wanted to finish my last year at high school in peace... Izumi: Wait a minute!! Kensuke: Keep out of this, Izumi!! p47==== Izumi: We still need to talk, right!? Kensuke: There's nothing to talk about!! Izumi: We need to come to an understanding about our breakup!! Kensuke: There can't be any understanding!! Izumi: Whatever, just come in here!! Seto: We can settle this after. Don't you feel sorry for Izumi, dressed like that? Anyway, get inside. p48==== Kensuke: Hmph! Seto: Woah! Girls: Eek! Kensuke: What're you looking at?! p49==== Iori: Seto-kun... Kensuke: What are you doing? Get out!! Girls: Ah! Kensuke: We're inside, like you wanted... Izumi: Mmmm... mmm... Seto: This is bad. He's really going to kill me, Izumi-chan!! Izumi: Sempai! p50==== Kensuke: Hey!! Izumi: Sempai! Seto: Oof! Izumi: I was just fooling around... p51==== Kensuke: I'm going to rip you a new one!! Izumi: Wait! Izumi: Don't you get it? This is how sempai and I have become! Kensuke: What the... Seto: Izumi-chan!! Won't this just add oil to the fire of his anger?! p52==== Izumi: Sempai and I are lovers!! Kensuke: Grrr... Seto: No good. He's definately going to kill me... Kensuke: Is that true? Seto: Why are you saying such nonsense, Izumi-chan!? Izumi: It's okay. There are lots of other girls out there for you. Izumi: Just leave sempai and me alone! p53==== Seto: Hm? Izumi: Seto: A signal? Should I play along with her? Seto: Will he give up if he sees our feelings are mutual... Or will it just make him madder? Seto: I get the feeling you want to breakup with him... Izumi-chan... Seto: Whichever happens, I'm sure I'll end up getting hit... so... Seto: Hit me... Seto: If it will make you feel better, then hit me! Seto: But, if you do that, you'd better forget about Izumi-chan! Izumi: Huh? p54==== Seto: Ow! That was wore than I expected... I shouldn't have done that... Seto: How long am I going to be feeling that? Damn! Izumi: Stop it! p55==== Kensuke: I can't forget you! Kensuke: Hmph! Kensuke: No matter how much I hit you, I won't forget Izumi! Kensuke: I really care about you. Kensuke: Because you're so important to me, I care! Kensuke: So... If you did something with this guy... Seto: Hey, wait a minute... p56==== Izumi: If we did, there's nothing you can do about it!! Seto: Hey! Hey!! Izumi: But you, Kensuke, think you can do whatever you want with girls! Izumi: What about what yourself? Kensuke: Stupid... What are you talking about.. Kensuke: Maybe I have fooled around with other girls! Kensuke: But you are different! Unique! Special! Kensuke: It's wrong to betray you, so I apologise... I've slept with two other girls... Izumi: Isn't that reason enough? p57==== Izumi: Do you remember this? Kensuke: Of course. I gave you that ring, right? Izumi: Right. A Pair-Ring. Izumi: Last summer we both put them on! Izumi: Do you know? If you're thinking of being unfaithful, Izumi: This ring can help you get through it. Izumi: As you said, I'm special. Kensuke: What are you talking... p58==== Izumi: Why did you give it to your friend? Kensuke: What do you mean? He collects rings. He told me that he wanted it. Kensuke: It's just a thing. An object. What matters are feelings! The feelings I had when I gave it to you last summer!! Kensuke: That's no reason to be breaking up! Izumi: You see? That's why we can't see each other!! Izumi: I can't be faithful to you any more! Our values are too different! We have to breakup!! p59==== Izumi: But, Ichitaka-sempai understands how I feel, so I can say that I love him. Izumi: Right? Seto: Yeah... I understand your feelings, Izumi-chan. Seto: Really... Seto: But... I... Seto: Understand his feelings, too. Izumi: Huh? *End of Chapter 76*
