Convenient Semi-friend ch12

p1
>I did it...
>...

>Suuna-chan!?
>I did it...

>I...

>Aaah!

>>Recalling that sensation...

>>An oath.

p2
>...What do I do?

>I can't get my mind off what happened yesterday.
>Hawa...

>Ruka-san's lips...
>Ruka-san's cheek...

>Hrmm!

>What...
>have I done...?

>Th-This is no good. Even though that kind of thing is apparently normal for sefure,
>if I tremble over every little thing, I'm not gonna last... on this Earth.

>Eh...? Isn't anyone gonna take notice
>of Suuna-chan's behavior just now?
>She's done that twice now...
>This'll be on the test.
>Probably.

p3
>...Suuna-chan, are you okay?
>If you're not feeling well, we can go to the nurse's office together...

>Kohaku-saan.
>Seriously, what's wrong?

>Just calm down for now.
>Kaneko-san, we're in the middle of class right now.
>Ah.
>Right, sorr-...

>Hm? Why am I the only one who got told off?
>Excuse me for lacking presence.

>Sorry for causing you trouble...
>It's fine. Don't worry about it.
>You surprised me, though.

>So... what's up?
>Uh
>Erm, I guess you could say I was grieving over how pathetic I am...

>Um... It seems I didn't understand what "sefure" meant this whole time...
>Ruka-san taught me yesterday, but...

>SHE TAUGHT YOU!?

p4
>That woman! I know I was all "so you're just gonna keep quiet about it?", but still!
>It's not like I wanted her to cave just like...
>No wait.
>Given that girl's track record for chickening out, there's a chance she misunderstood again...!

>...So what specifically does it mean... exactly?
>Fweh?
>Eh...? Ah... Ki-... Um...

>It's embarrassing to put it into words...
>but...

>Haha...
>So you've climbed the stairs to adulthood too, huh, Suuna-chan...
>? My birthday isn't until next month.
>Is that so?

>...Sorry for interrupting. Do continue.
>Ah, right... Erm, so...

>It was my first time (kissing someone)... and I couldn't do it very well...
>A little bit of the tip (of her mouth) was my limit...
>Ruka-san didn't seem to be satisfied...
>so I eventually gave up...

>Sorry!!
>You don't need to continue anymore!!
>Just listening to you is making me embarrassed too.

p5
>But still... yeah...
>I never thought you'd come to like Ruka that much.
>In such a short time too.
>...Li-??

>Um... You couldn't possibly do something special like that
>unless you liked her, right?

>...Well, not that I have any right to speak, though.
>No... That's not...
>Ah, but,

>if you start liking her for real, you'd better be careful.
>Ruka isn't a bad girl, but she's not exactly a good girl either.
>Hawa...

>Like...
>Can you go back on your own? Should I see you off?
>No... I'll be jush fine...

>Special...

>I... like Ruka-san...?
>Oh.

>Welcome back.
>GYAH!

p6
>Geez.
>You reacted like you just say something crazy again.
>S-Sorry. It came unexpectedly.

>I came to your class after homeroom but you weren't there.
>So I just headed back here.
>Is that so...? Sorry...

>It's fine.
>But you could've at least sent me a LOIN...
>Yes... Sorry...

>Ah... Um, sorry about yesterday.
>...Heh?

>I got a little crazy back then.
>You don't need to force yourself to match up with me, Suuna.

>If you don't like something, say so.
>It's fine to turn me down.

>That's...
>...Aha.

p7
>You finally
>looked at me.

>Now that she mentions it...
>You've been acting weird ever since what happened yesterday, so...
>I'm always so frantic

>that I never bothered
>Well, that was my bad, though.
>to look at Ruka-san properly.

>...She's

p8
>communicating with me
>with such a gentle expression.

>"You couldn't possibly do that unless you liked her, right?"
>I like you...

>? Did you say something?
>...I don't really get it,
>Hm?
>Suuna?

>but

p9
>if it's Ruka-san...

>I'm certainly... still not used to it.
>I might get all awkward... but...

p10
>I-I didn't hate... the k-kiss...
>so
>I want... to continue... this relationship with you, Ruka-san...

>...Hmm.
>Well... That's good then...

>...Ah.

>Sorry for butting in!
>Getting some deja vu here!

>Even with a deja vu punchline, the change it has sparked seems to be a positive one.
