Cool Blue ch18: Blues are Quick to Escape

p1
>Previously on Magical Girl Pure Jewel Colors...
>Magical Knight Pure Azurite has found herself in a great pinch!
>*Dramatization

>I'm looking forward to chatting lots today!
>Me too~

p2
>It doesn't look like Harumi (Ruby) has figured out my identity yet, but...
>It's interesting how many different Jewels there are~

>I doubt even Ruby would expect that the true identity behind the cool Azurite would be someone so unsophisticated...
>That's painful in its own way...
>Lately, this girl called Pure Celestine...

>At any rate, I won't get found out so long as I don't say anything carelessly...
>I guess the strongest of the Pure Jewels would be Diamond?

>Shiit!! An argument over who's strongest~!! The very topic that makes otakus want to run their mouthes~!!
>Minami!! Are you trying to get me killed!?
>?

p3
>Who can say...? There are still many mysteries surrounding the Pure Jewels.
>Nice one, Ruby!! You're making sure to keep things secret!

>But when it comes to pairing Pure Diamond up with her partner Pure Crystal,
>it feels more like Crys x Dia rather than Dia x Crys...

>Ship names!? Even I'm really into that topic!
>Incidentally, I'm also in the Crys x Dia faction...
>You're into that too, Ruby!?

>I wanna talk! I wanna talk too!
>But I have to surpress my otaku blood that's just dying to join in!
>Ghgigi...

>At this rate, it'll only be a matter of time until my body can't take it anymore and my identity gets exposed...
>Woah, you really know your stuff. Where did you learn all of that?
>There's a summary site for it.

p4
>Thirty minutes later...

>>wheeze...
>>hah...

>What's wrong, Gunjou? You've been awfully quiet today.
>!!

>Aah... Minami-san? Would you join me in urin-... picking some flowers for a moment...?
>Eh? The bathroom? Together?
>What kind of language is that?

p5
>Sorry, Harumi. I'll be right back.
>Sure.

>Eh?
>What's wrong, Gunjou...?

>Minamiiii~~~
>I can't take it anymore~~~

p6
>Are you not feeling it with Harumi?

>It's not that! She's a really nice girl!
>You haven't done anything wrong either... It's just me...

>I-It's because I'm so socially awkward!
>I simply have trouble talking with girls I'm not that close to yet...

>I'm sorry...

>I understand.
>I'm sorry for forcing you to come along.

p7
>No! I should be the one to apologise...
>After you went to all this trouble...

>Don't worry about it. I was happy too.
>?

>I was happy that you actually thought of me
>as a close friend, Gunjou.

>Minamii~
>Girls like you are so~~
>H-Hey! Cut that out!

p8
>I'm back~
>Huh? Where's Gunjou-san?

>She wasn't feeling very well,
>so she went home early.
>She said she's sorry.

>Is that so...? I'm worried about her...

>What happened, Azusa!?
>You look like you've just come back from a lengthy battle!
>It was a long and fierce battle... the likes of which I had never experienced before...
