p6

>Ahaha
>Aah... Minami from back then, huh?

>It's been a while since I've heard your voice, Haruka.
>Yeah, same here...

p9
>I'm so glad to be able to hear your voice again, Minami-san.

>Really? Guess that means the phone call was worth it.

>am I crying...

>A-Are you alright?

>I... wish I never knew about this feeling...

p13
>Eh?

>Did something happen?

>I thought I'd be able to support Minami-san with her dream...

>But when I hear how happy she is talking about Asuka-san, I feel so depressed...
>Ah, that veterinarian...

>Why am I feeling this way...

p14
>...You're not alone.

>Eh?

>Before you guys told me about how you were PreCure
>I felt a little sad seeing you together with Minami-san and Kirara-chan.

>I always thought that I was the one best suited to be by Haruka-chan's side...

>Yui-chan...

p15
>Eh?
>But if you never say anything, noone will ever know...

>You need to probably convey how you're feeling, Haruka-chan.

>...Yeah
>Thank you... Yui-chan

p16
>Hmmm...
>Convey my feelings...huh...

>For now, I'll write a reply...

>Several days later

p18
>Haruka!
>Minami-san! Long time no see!

>Yes! I'm so glad to see you...!
>...!

>Looks like all that hugging practise paid off, huh, Minami-chan?
>That's cos you're always doing it to me, Asuka-san...

>[It's all girls there so it happens a lot]
>I'm used to it by now.

p19
>Haruka
>Y-Yes?

>It's been a while since we've done "that", so why don't we go to Yumegahama?
>...I guess

>Sorry...
>It's fine.

p20

>So... would you mind sitting over there?

p21
>U-Um!

>Asuka-san!!

>I need to talk to you!

>Haruka?
>Please wait there for a moment, Minami-san.

p22
>So, I guess you have something you wanna say to me, Haruka-chan?

>A-Asuka-san, just what is Minami-san to you!?
>What, you say...

>She's my important assistant.

>She's a good girl. She's got good memory, she's really smart, and most importantly she's cute!

>That's not what I meant!
>Then what about you, Haruka-chan?

>What is Minami-chan to you?

>Ah, could it be you love Minami-chan or something?

p23
>I do love her... I came here today so I could tell her that...
>Minami-san... all she ever does it talk about you... It's frustrating... So frustrating...

>I don't want to let you have Minami-san...

>I love Minami-san!

p24

>You're there, aren't you, Minami-chan?

>Minami-san...

>Would you please go out with me?

p26
>Yes... gladly...

>Don't cry...Haruka...
>Uuh
>But...!

p27
>It's because... Minami-san
>All you ever did was talk about Asuka-san

>I thought Asuka-san was gonna take you away from me...

>Geez...silly girl...

>Come on, now.
>Hey, you two. How long you gonna loiter around here? Let's head back to the store.

>Let's go.

>Haruka.
>Right!

p28
>Well then, Haruka-chan. I'll be looking after you girlfriend just a little longer, okay?

>U-Um.. I'm sorry... for a lot of things.

>Aah
>Don't worry about it.

>Over there, Minami-chan does nothing but tell me all about you, too.
>Eh?
>Really now?
