S: Mm~
S: Wasshi's botamochi is soo delicious~
Y: Right! My cheeks're dropping from their deliciousness!
K: Just how long are you guys gonna keep eating...?
T: Geez, you two, even if you keep flattering me like that...

T: I've nothing but botamochi to give you
S+Y: Waai!
K: You're still gonna eat more?!

Y: It's been a little while since the previous generation hero, Nogi Sonoko--
Y: Sono-chan joined the Hero club

K: You'll get fat if you eat so much
S: It's fine~ I'm the type that never gains much weight~
F: What the?! I'm envious

006
Y: Both mine and everyone in the Hero club's, all of our bodies have returned to normal
Y: We've taken back our precious everyday life

F: By the way, do you have some sort of trick to not get fat or...?
I: Do you...!?
S: Mm~ I never paid much attention~
K: Seriously, why are you so desperate?
T: Well, I kind of understand their feeling

Y: ...Really, I'm so glad

Y: However, for just a little bit,
Y: Something has changed

T: Yuuna-chan, you've botamochi on your cheek
Y: Eh, really?

T: I'll take it off for you

007
T: ...Okay, Yuuna-chan, I got it

Y: ...! Yeah

008
K: --The hell was that?
F: Even though we're right here, too...
Those two're in their own world
I: Hyaa---
S: Ohh---

S: Geez, Wasshi's truly become aggressive~ With this, it's gonna process smoothly~
K: What is!?

F: Seems like Tougou's completely self-aware now, huh
F: ...Yuuna looks like she still needs some more time, though

009
[Day Duty] Yuuki
[Absence] None

Y: Well then, all that left is finish writting the daily log!

Y: ...Come to think of it, it's been a while since the last time I was alone at school
Y: Until my body got better, Tougou-san has constantly been by my side
Y: Tougou, -san
*Thump...*

010
Y: For a little bit, something has changed

Y: Recently, it feels like Tougou-san has started to touch me more and more

Y: Well, I'm the one who told her to do it, though!

Y: On top of that, how should I say it, compared to before

Y: Her gaze looks much kinder, and full of passion

011
--Yuuki-san?

Y: Um, if I remember correctly, you're in the same class... what's wrong?
Erm... Actually, I want you to help me with something, Yuuki-san

S: Fu~ Visiting the staff room took more time than I thought it would~
S: Hm?
S: Yu-yu?

012
Y: So, Sono-chan...!

S: Heh, from that seal... is that a love letter~?
Y: N-no!

Y: This is, um, someone in the class asked me to pass it to Tougou-san

Y: S-she sure is amazing huh, Tougou-san! But of course, if you think about it
S: ...Yu-yu?
Y: Tougou-san is just so beautiful, cute, smart, and kind...

013
*Throb*
Y: so you just can't help but
*Throb* *Throb*
Y: fall for her---
*Throb* *Throb* *Throb* *Throb* *Throb* *Throb*

014
S: ---Yu-yu!
S: ...Yu-yu, are you okay?

Y: Yeah, I'm fine
Y: I was just spacing out for a bit. Thanks, Sono-chan.

S: ...I see, then it's all good~

015
S: Well then, let's go do today club's activities together~
Y: ...Certainly!

S: Ah, I forgot something in the staff room. Yu-yu, can you go ahead and wait for me in the club room~?
While I'm at it, I'll take the daily log there for you, too~
Y: Yeah, I got it, thanks!

S: ...Right, just let me tell you this, Yu-yu
Y: Um?
S: Don't pretend to not notice your own feeling

017
Y: My own, feeling...?

Y: That should be obvious
Y: What I want the most is for Tougou-san to keep smiling...

*Throb*
---Really?

018
T: Yuuna... chan?

Y: Tougou-sa, why---

T: ...Sonocchi told me to come here
T: But moreover,
T: What's wrong, Yuuna-chan?

T: ...Was it because of what you were told when you received that letter or

019
Y: --That's not it!

Y: It's because a classmate asked me to pass this to you, Tougou-san
Y: ...and yet

Y: And yet, I
Y: "I don't want to pass it", I thought

020
Y: Even though it's supposed to be a good thing that Tougou-san's liked by someone
Y: Far from being happy, I hate it

Y: "I'm the only one allowed to stand beside Tougou-san", I feel!

Y: Someone like me
Y: ---is the worst

T: ...Yuuna-chan

020
T: You know, I'm happy that you think about me that way, Yuuna-chan

Y: B-but, you don't understand, Tougou-san
Y: My feeling is not that of a bestfriend

Y: I can't stay as Tougou-san's best friend anymore...!

021
T: Listen, Yuuna-chan

T: In my opinion, you don't have to forcibly categorize a relationship under just one name

T: Both as [Best Friend]... and as [The person I love]
T: Isn't it fine to treasure them as both at the same time?

Y: Tougou, -san...

022
T: At the very least, to me, you've always been that kind of existence

Y: A kind, and passionate gaze
*Thump*

023
*Thump*
T: Yuuna-chan,
T: I love you, both as my best friend and as the person I love

*Thump**Thump*
T: ...Please go out with me
*Thump*
