Sayuri-chan would never do a thing like that!! 3 [He glares down at his fist.] Komatsu: I see. I get it!! I'm sure that gossip, too, is the act of heartless people who greatly envy my relationship with Sayuri-chan. 4 [Beaming, he stands beside his girl and claps a hand to his chest.] Komatsu: It's all right! I'll certainly defend you and show them! Wah! ha! ha! Sayuri: That's not it! This is some kind of mistake! 5 [From the back of the class, Madoka and Kyousuke can only stare blankly.] 6 [Turning towards Madoka, Kyousuke smiles and wipes his brow.
