>Hah~

>Nanasawa Nana, 25 years old.
>Not being able to see Senpai for three days...
>is hard...
>A girl who timeslipped ten years into the past.

>>Seto-senpai
>>What are you up to right now?
>I texted her, but there's no response.

p2
>Hah...
>And today's my day off from work too...

>!!

>>Seto-senpai
>>I'm at school.
>Ah...

>Senpai's texts don't use emojis.
>Short texts are the best...

>School, huh...
>I haven't been there since graduation...
>School...

p3
>Wah... How nostalgic~

>Thanks for showing me around, Seto-chan.
>It's fine, but...

>If you showed your student handbook, they'd've let you in even if you had graduated.
>I lost that...
>Ah...

>You do look like someone who'd lost stuff easily, Sasaki-san.
>I do not!
>The school building is one thing...

p4
>But even the things that meant little to me back then

>feel mysterious to me when I look at them now...

>Any other club members around?
>Just me today.
>Ah, I see.

>Pardon the intru-...

>sion...

p5
>Sit wherever you'd like.

>It's the clubroom from back then...
>Hah~...

>This chair
>is from when I had just joined...

p6
>...

>This is awkward...
>I've never spoken to Seto-senpai before
>so I haven't been able to say anything for the past ten minutes...

>Somebody come quicky~
>Hey.

>Could you get that yellow box from the shelf over there?
>Ah, sure.

p7
>It's on the top shelf.
>I can't see it...
>I should stand on a chair.

>Yellow box...
>Wait, wait.

>That's a dangerous way of searching.
>I'll support you to keep you still.

>But, Senpai,
>it doesn't seem to be there.
>Well, that's because it isn't.

p8
>...Heh?
>Well, y'know,

>you were nervous this entire time, Nanasawa,
>so I figured this'd help put you at ease, even if it is just a trap.

>Let's get you down and talk about a bunch of stuff.
>Seto-senpai...
>How nostalgic...

>After that, I saw Senpai's acting and completely fell for her...
>By the way.

p9
>What club activities did you do, Sasaki-san?
>Eh?

>I should probably be vague about this.
>Um~

>We didn't have many specific activities during my time here.
>There wasn't any filming or anything like that.
>Is that so?

>I guess it was pretty much just a Film Studies Club.
>To be honest, I can't remember what I did back then...
>Heh~

>What's it like now?
>Fufufu...

p10
>It's really active these days!

>!
>We're working on our first short film.
>It'll be my first starring role!

>It's really the best.
>Even though there's no club today, I came to school cos I wanted to use the machinery and practise...
>Senpai looks so happy talking about all this.

>Cute...

>Senpai really loved her club...
>Oh hyeah.

p11
>Lemme show you something good.
>Something good?

>It should be here somewhere...
>Can you hold my chair still?
>Sure.

>Let's see~...
>Fufu
>We're in the opposite positions from back then.

>To think after ten years
>I'd be in this position.

p12
>Huh~...?
>Hah

p13
>No, no! Why are you just casually trying to touch it, me!?
>That's way too braindeaded! She's gonna hate you for sure!

>Hold on tight, okay~
>...
>Tight...

>Not here, huh...
>Did someone take it home with them?

>Ng!?

p14
>Sasaki-san!?
>What are you doing?

>You said to hold on tight.
>You'll be more stable this way, right?

>Stable...

p15
>...
>Senpai's scent...

>Um...

p16
>Your face... is hitting against me...

>...Hitting against where?
>Fu

p17
>Above...
>my butt...
>Your butt's senstive, huh...
>How cute.

>It's not cute or anythi-...
>Ng

>Ah! There it is!!
>!

>Come on!
>You don't need to hold onto me any longer so get off!
>You're gonna fall
>Eep~

p18
>This is...

>a pamphlete?
>>Dinosaur Parking
>Yeah.

>I love the lead actress in this film.
>My role's is based on this woman's image!
>Oh, looks good.

p19
>This was the first movie I saw in theaters when I was five.
>I'm gonna kill you all!

>Gyaaaaah!
>Hah~...
>The lead was so cool that I got overly excited.

>The moment I got home, I memorised all of her lines so I could imitate her.
>I can speak English now thanks to her.
>You really know how to get hooked on something.

>That's why...
>someday, I also

p20
>want to be a cool actress.
>So I've been trying hard every day.
>Hehe

>...

>...Seto-chan.

p21
>You can do it.

>If it's you, Seto-chan,
>I'm sure you'll become a wonderful actress!
>...

>Somehow, seeing you be so sensible is making me uncomfortable, Sasaki-san...
>Why!?
>I'm always sensible!

>But well... thanks.
>I'll do my best.
>Yeah!
>Senpai

p22
>couldn't become an actress.

>Senpai joined a talent agency during high school.
>Even though it was just a small role, when she appeared in her first drama,
>Senpai was really happy.

>But things didn't go so well afterwards.
>In the days that followed, she kept failing her auditions, and the ones she did manage to get were all minor roles.

>And then, on the day Senpai announced she was getting married...
>Eh?
>I'm quitting.

>I'm quitting being an actress.
>Haha...
>this is the perfect opportunity.

>It was a huge shock to see Senpai
>trying so hard just to smile.

p23
>Ever since I arrived in the past, I've only been thinking about myself.
>...But now I've decided.

>I'm going to help Senpai
>become an actress.

>Seto-chan... You have my support!
>Hm? Yeah...
>What's wrong with you today?
>I told you! I'm always sensible!
