Chikazukisugi ni Youchuui (Be Careful Not To Get Too Close)

p3
>Hey, You-chan.
>This part on the outfit, is something like this okay?
>Hmm, let's see.

>..Indeed. Here should be...

>...
>Hey, you two. I've been wondering this for a while now but...

>Aren't you guys a little too close?
>Heh?

p4
>You think so?
>We've always been kinda like this...
>so I've never really given it much though.

>I-I see...
>Haha...

>A-Am I the weird one here...? Is this something childhood friends just do...?
>Ah, Chika-chan, let me see that for a bit.

>Here?
>No, not there.

>Then what about...

p5
>Mm

>!?

>...

p6
>...
>Wh-
>What do I do?

>Seriously, what do I after seeing an accidental kiss in action?
>Or rather, those two have frozen up!

>Ah...

p7
>You-chan.
>The last bus is gonna be here soon.
>Right!

>Woah, you're right! Crap! It's this late already!

>W-Well then, you two.
>See you tomorrow!

>...S-


p8
>See you tomorrow...

>...Wh-
>What should I do..?

>We've been that close so many times up until now.
>...And yet
>...something like that...

p9
>We've always been together
>but I never knew how soft her lips were
>or seen her red eyes up so close.

>...!

>...Wait, why am I remembering that... This is bad!

>...More importantly, what does Chika-chan think about all this?
>Hah
>You-chan, you're the worst...
>*Imagination
>I-If she hated it... Wait, that'd be the normal reaction...

p10
>Wh-What should I do...

>The next day
>In the end,
>I couldn't sleep a wink...

>Hmmm...But this is Chika-chan we're talking about...
>Ah, You-chan! Good morning!
>...Yep.
>It wouldn't be strange for her to act like nothing happened.

>>Anyway, first I have to apologise for what happened yesterday, and then...

>!

p11
>...You-chan. Good morning.

>G-Good morning, Riko-chan.

>...Come on, Chika-chan.

>Ch-Chika-chan. Good mor-...

>...

>...

p12
>...
>...Mor...ning...
>...Y-Yeah...
>Regarding that "after that"...

>During lessons.
>Break time.
>...
>Lunch time.
>...

>And then after school.
>I-I've got stuff to do with the swimming club today!
>Later!

>...

p13
>Hah...
>...What to do...
>Even though I have any swimming club stuff today, I lied to her...

>Ah geez! I've been saying nothing but "what do I do" since yesterday!

>The truth is, yesterday,
>I was supposed to be thinking about all kinds of things,
>But after I saw Chika-chan's expression this morning...

>...I don't want to apologise.

>...I thought something terrible.

p14
>What did you think about?
>!?

>Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Chika-chan!
>Why are you here...? What about practise!?
>Ooh...

>...The truth is I did have practise
>but Riko-chan got made at me.

>She said "you're gonna make things awkward over here too so hurry up and make up with her already"...
>Sorry, Riko-chan...
>That's true.

>...Hey, You-chan.

p15
>...About yesterday, it was my fault things turned out like that...
>...So um...
>!
>You're wrong!

>B-
>But!
>!

>That was
>my first kiss
>so I have no idea what I should do.

>...Chika-chan.
>It might not've been the first time for you though, You-chan...

p16
>N-
>No no no! What makes you think that!?
>I mean, you're so popular, You-chan!
>It's not strange for you to have one or two or even a hundred accidental kisses!
>Right!!?
>Do I look like some kind of playgirl to you!?

>Or rather, that was my first time too!
>Eh? Liar! You're such a popular woman!
>No, it's true! That was my first kiss!

>Hah hah hah hah
>...
>...

>pfft

p17
>This is
>pretty much the usual.

>Hey, You-chan.
>...Y'know...
>Hm?

p18
>More than accidental kisses or first kisses
>the thing I hated
>was not having you by my side like you always are, Chika-chan.

>...So from now on
>don't stay too far apart from me.

>...Yeah.
>Chika-chan.

p19
>So, that's how things went.
>We've safely resolved things. We apologise for the inconvenience we have caused...!

>...Yeah, well...

>Either way, I'm glad you made up.
>Seriously...
>Yeah!
>We're gonna get back to practising hard starting today!

>Alright, Chika-chan! Race you to the clubroom!
>Eh? Wait, not fair! You-chan!!
>...Still, at the end of that conversation...

>Stuff like "It doesn't count" or "It never happened"...
>Not a single of those ideas were brought up even once. How should I put it...
>I just have a small inkling that they were both thinking to each other "how was it?".

>...Well, I better not poke them about it.
>I don't wanna be kicked by a horse, after all.
