- Touei Diary
- p5
- >My, Cartalet-san. You sure got your day shift work done quickly.
- >Of course!
- >I want to go home with Shino as quickly as possible, after all!
- >Shino-
- >Karen~ Let's go get some crepes at the station today!
- >Wow! Who will win? Japan's crepes or London's crepes?
- >I reccomend the Italian Sil-vous-plais Crepe!
- >Oh, you guys going to the station?
- >Youko-chan?
- >Italian? French? I can't tell...
- >What the heck~
- >...
- p6
- >It's fine. I'm used to it.
- >I'm not so much of a kid that I'd get all jealous
- >over Shino getting all heated up by other blonde girls.
- >whisper whisper
- >There's less time to talk due to changing classes.
- >I can bear with this much.
- >...Aya?
- >School's over already, Aya. What are you reading?
- >Ah, this is an exchange diary I used to do with Youko.
- >It kinda died off midway since Youko got so lazy returning it, though.
- >It was mainly stuff about Youko having fun spending time with her family...
- >...Aya.
- p7
- >Reading an already finished exchange diary by yourself in the classroom
- >is pretty much trying to escape reality...
- >Shut up, Alice! Does someone who rubs their cheeks with a kokeshi doll have any right to say that!?
- >Th-That was just something I needed to soothe my soul...
- >Wait, you saw that!?
- >You caught my attention a little so I just kinda found out~
- >That's cos Shino... Shino~~~
- >...Hey, Aya.
- >If it's okay with you...
- >would you like to do
- >an exchange diary with me?
- p10
- >...J-Just kidding! I just thought I'd say that to kill some boredom~
- >Y-Yeah, that's just not trendy for high schoolers.
- >Ahaha
- >Hahaha Ahaha
- >Aha
- >Then why don't we try something a little different?
- >For example, we'll pretend like we're writing some kind of play.
- >I'll write in the diary pretending to be Shino
- >>pretending
- >and you'll pretend to be Youko.
- >In other words, we'll write it like Youko and Shino are exchanging a diary.
- >Ooh~ Sounds fun.
- >I'll start off.
- >Dear Youko-chan,
- >Good evening, it's Shinobu here.
- >It's been ages since I've written an exchange diary, so I'm kinda nervous.
- >By the way, Youko-chan, during lunch in Class C, you often talk to Alice along with me and Karen, so shouldn't you talk with Aya-chan too?
- >>by Aya
- p11
- >Aya... Did she not get embarrassed writing this...?
- >But it's a strange feeling.
- >Even though Shino's in the living room watching telly,
- >it's like I'm really reading a letter from her.
- >Let's see, I've got to "write a letter to Shino while pretending to be Youko", right?
- >How would Youko respond to this...
- >>by Alice
- >Hm~? It's fine. I've talked with Aya plenty of times since we were kids. More importantly, Shino, are you talking properly with Alice? Don't make her feel too longely.
- >AAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm writing embarrassing stuff too!!!
- >What is this!? I feel cold!?
- p12
- >The next day
- >Aya, here's the notebook you lent me.
- >Thanks, Alice.
- >So you lent your notebook to Cartelet-san?
- >Uh, yeah... Stuff like English composition.
- >Class is about to start~
- >That's right... You're already sick of talking with me, aren't you, Youko...
- >What's wrong, Komichi-san!?
- >The next period
- >Today, turn you textbooks to page 67...
- >I snuggle Alice's hair every day! Viva Las Blondies!
- >>by Aya
- p13
- >Alice~ Today, I went with Karen and Youko-chan to eat crepes together!
- >I see. Were they good?
- >Yes!
- >I would've invited you if you didn't have day duty, Alice.
- >I want to go with you some day, Alice. Good night.
- >...I don't think it's been every day lately.
- >Eh~? Alice tells me "once every two-three days". In fact, lately you've been teasing Karen's hair way more, haven't you, Shino?
- >>by Alice
- >...Is that so?
- >Hah! I hadn't noticed! Would Alice like it more if I snuggled her more often?
- >>by Aya
- >I wonder if Alice wants to be touched more.
- >I...
- p14
- >Your hair is really smooth, Aya. Must be a pain to maintain it every day, right~?
- >N-Not really... A girl should be able to handle this much.
- >These braids from the roots to the tips feel so good to slide between my fingers~
- >Don't play around with me too much.
- >NONONONONONONONONO
- >I would never think about wanting something like that done to me!!
- >What kind of delusion was that!?
- >Komichi-san, do you really not need to go to the nurse's office!?
- >Alice~ I'm getting in the bath~
- >We'll sleep once I'm out~
- >Okay, Shino~
- >We sure passed around this diary a lot in one day.
- >Writing while pretending is surprisingly fun.
- p15
- >...Do I want to be snuggled?
- >>Yeah, a little bit.
- >...
- >No no no no!! I'm Youko right now!
- >I'm writing while pretending to be Youko!
- >Alice~ You've been staying up late a lot lately, haven't you?
- >Nyaaaaaaa!?
- >It's nothing, Shino! I'm just going a little crazy, that's all~
- p16
- >Let's just rub out
- >"a little bit"...
- >W-Well that's something you won't know unless you ask her yourself. Plus wouldn't it be weird if you were so clingy that you looked like lovers?
- >>by Alice
- >I guess you're right... Incidentally, Youko-chan, if you were to have a lover, what kind of person would they be like?
- >>by Aya
- >What's this all of a sudden, Shino?
- >>by Alice
- >Ufufufu. It's love gossip, of course.
- >>by Aya
- p17
- >Love gossip, huh... Hey, Shino, what would you do if, say for example...
- >>by Alice
- >Alice told you she loved you, not as a friend, but as someone way more precious?
- >...I'm not sure. I think I'd get really confused if someone told me that out of the blue.
- >>by Aya
- >[What about you, Youko-chan? If Aya-chan said she loved you more than a friend and wanted to be with you more over other girls?]
- >Aya...
- p18
- >Shinobu~ Alice~ There's two pudding cups left if you want them.
- >Isami.
- >Oh, Shinobu's already asleep?
- >Yeah, she's really worn out from today's PE.
- >She's such a kid.
- >You upset that you couldn't eat it together, Alice?
- >That's not true!
- >I'll leave one of them in the fridge.
- >...But it really is
- >unfortunate.
- >Delicious...
- p19
- >Alice~ This pudding is delicious~
- >Eating together with Shino only doubles the happiness~
- >Of course, Alice's delicious blonde hair isn't gonna lose!
- >Human caramel!
- >It definitely won't taste good~
- >What am I imagining!?
- >It's not delicious! It's not delicious!
- >Aya must also
- >has those feelings
- >of wanting to be held by Youko.
- >If I were Youko
- >how would I reply?
- p20
- >I would respond. I'd fully accept Aya's feelings. I love Aya, too... I wouldn't do anything to make Aya feel lonely.
- >>by Alice
- >...Too bad, Alice.
- >Youko
- >would never say something like that.
- p21
- >Komichi-san? Cartalet-san just...
- >Alright. I'll talk to her later.
- >Ow!
- >I-I just bashed my foot against Alice's desk.
- >It must've been attracted to the blonde essence...
- >What's this notebook...?
- p22
- >I'm gonna buy a drink.
- >Take care, Youko~
- >Shino?
- >That notebook...
- >Butting into private matters
- >U-Um, I only caught a glimpse of the last page.
- >I didn't think it was something so scary
- >It said in your handwriting
- >that you love Aya-chan.
- p23
- >L-Look here, Shino! This is just fiction~
- >B-B-But, at the right side of this page
- >It says "Sorry, but you're wrong" in Aya-chan's writing.
- >!?
- >...?
- >E-Erm... Don't worry about it, Alice!
- >I'll support you if you fall in love with someone! It's just that it doesn't seem to be that close this time.
- >I'm sure your fated person is out there somewhere! Keep at it!
- p24
- >Huh? Onee-chan, is Alice still in the bath?
- >Yeah. She's having a long soak tonight.
- >Fwah~ I'll go to sleep first then~...
- >She's asleep.
- >I have to reply to Shino.
- p25
- >No.
- >Not to Shino. To Aya.
- >I'm sure your fated person is out there somewhere.
- >What is this feeling?
- >...Where is Shino?
- >What should I write?
- p26
- >Uuh...
- >Why do I feel so sad?
- >Even though we pass by each other so often...
- >Shino treats me with great care.
- >I should know that already.
- >No. Is that really the case?
- >Does she only pester me because I'm blonde?
- >Kh
- >...Ah...
- >No. Shino isn't that kind of girl.
- >No.
- >What am I to Shino?
- >What is Shino to me...
- p27
- >...Shino...
- >Shino said some really harsh things to me today.
- >It's strange. Even though I know it's normal to give your friends advice...
- >Are these feelings truly love for Shino?
- p28
- >Ever since doing that diary with Aya, I've been having nothing but wild delusions.
- >But...
- >That sleek black hair that hasn't changed since back then.
- >Those soft lips that have become faintly adult.
- >Her hands stretching all the way down from her slender shoulders.
- >Her unassuming chest.
- >Everything about Shino.
- p29
- >...Wait!
- >I look like some kind of pervert...
- >No No No No No No No No!!
- >I think I really have gone crazy.
- >It's strange.
- >Even though she's so close...
- >I felt gloomy just from not getting to talk with Shino much at school
- >to the point where I had Aya act as Shino.
- p30
- >She's so close.
- >If thse feelings are real...
- >I want to be even closer
- >and touch you.
- >If I do that
- >mm....
- >I might be able to tell you properly...
- p31
- >Yawn...
- >~~~Karen~~...?
- >Mmm....
- >Alice..?
- >Did she... go to the toilet...?
- p33
- >Good morning, Ayaya~
- >Alice hasn't returned the diary.
- >...I wonder if it's because I returned it so suddenly.
- >I slipped up...
- >Good morning, Aya-chan.
- >Ah, Aya-chan, I've been meaning to ask.
- >Have you been exchanging a diary with Alice?
- >Eh?
- p34
- >I accidentally caught a glimpse of it.
- >You wrote "Sorry, but you're wrong", didn't you?
- >It's just that Alice has been down all morning and that's the only thing I could think of.
- >I'm not blaming you or anything, Aya-chan.
- >A-About that! I'll make sure to explain it to you later, Shino!
- >Ah! Aya-chan!
- >The stuff that Alice was writing about before.
- >That wasn't Youko-chan! That was Alice's feelings for Shino!
- >Alice...
- p35
- >Alice!
- >Alice! I'm sorry! Shino found out about that diary...
- >No, it's not your fault, Aya.
- >I was thoughtless too.
- >N-No, I wrote some weird things too...
- >If I had played my role more properly, Shino would've realised it was just a fictional diary.
- >I'm so stupid!
- >Ah
- >Alice~ Please cheer up~
- >>Shino impression
- >>giggle
- >You look nothing alike, Aya.
- p36
- You're not Shino, after all.
- >It's alright, Aya.
- >That's...
- >right...
- >I'm sorry.
- >I couldn't do anything.
- p37
- >Even though I should've known how painful Alice's feelings were
- >just knowing about them couldn't solve anything.
- >I'm not Shino.
- >And Alice isn't Youko.
- >All we've been doing is licking our wounds.
- >In the end...
- >Hey.
- >What's up, Alice?
- p38
- >Youko.
- >...
- >Why are you crying?
- >Did something happen?
- >...
- >Ah, it's okay if you don't wanna tell me.
- >Here.
- p39
- >Youko just...
- >hugged Alice
- >so simply.
- >Ah, I know.
- >I just bought this French Bread at the convenience store!
- >Doesn't the printed label for the filling look weird?
- >It just says "Tsu" and nothing else~
- >Here.
- >Have a little bit.
- p40
- >Ah
- >But England and France used to fight with each other, didn't they!?
- >They mentioned it in World History!
- >It might burn up your English blood if you ate it, Alice~
- >Hahaha
- >I'm kidding!
- >Here.
- >Did that cheer you up a little?
- >...Yeah.
- p41
- >Thanks, Youko.
- >Don't worry about it.
- >That's what friends do.
- >Oh yeah, I've got a coupon for that crepe place from before.
- >You can have it, Alice.
- >You sure?
- >Yeah. Let's all go together next time.
- >...That's right, Alice.
- >That's who Youko is.
- >Someone who's really kind.
- >Someone who flings open the windows in our roundabout hearts without hesitation
- >and shines light straight into them.
- p42
- >She's really
- >so kind
- >that I want to hate her.
- >That's why I fell in love with her.
- >Hey, Youko. What say we start up that exchange diary we used to do?
- >No way. We're already in high school.
