p6
>Sorry I was so late, Okachi...
>You're not mad, are you?

>Of course not...
>Why would I be?
>Ehehe, I just kinda thought...

>...Do I always look like I'm angry...?
>Um
>Usually when you talk with Fumi...
>No, that's just cos that particular person pisses me off...
>Ah
>I see...

>Besides, it's not like I'd ever get mad at Aikawa...
>So Okachi, anywhere you wanna go?
>Hm
>You decide.

>Alright, let's start with the movie
>I've been looking forward to it since yesterday~
>Sure.

p7
>Thank you, Yuki... I'm going to confess to Kouta-kun
>Yeah
>I'll be cheering you on

>so I took your first, Miho

>Me too.
>I've always loved you.

>Good for you
>Miho
>Ah! How long have you been watching!?
>Yuki...
>...thank you...

>Hey, Kouta!
>I'll never forgive you if you make Miho cry, got it!?
>I-
>I got it!

p8
>Uu~~
>I cried so much~!
>You sure did cry a lot, Aikawa.

>Uu~~ Why did I cry so much even though it was a happy ending...?
>Why, you ask... Hmm...

>It must be that.
>You were crying because of Yuki.
>That's gotta be it, right!?
>I mean, Yuki loved Miho too, but in the end she just cheered for her!?
>That's so sad!!

>Ah...

>U-Um... That's the part I liked the most even in the manga...
>She's a girl... but she fell in love with another girl... that sort of thing... it's kinda...
>...

>I-I guess it's weird after all... isn't it...?

p9
>Nah... It's fine, ain't it?

>[It's not like I normally think of you like that, Aikawa]

>...Re-
>Really...?
>It's not weird...?

>Hmm
>[I don't think it's that uncommon these days]
>[Those things tend to happen in these film adaptations]


>I
>I see
>You're right...!

p10
>...In fact, I probably
>understand Yuki's feelings

>more than you do, Aikawa.

p11
>...Okachi
>Y'know...?
>Yeah!?

>You're the first person I've ever talked to...
>about something like...this...
>Um
>Could you... keep being my friend from now on...?

>...Y-
>Yeah!
>Of course!
>That was close~ That's right~ Aikawa's a friend!!!

idiot...!!
>Wah
>Wah

>S-
>Sure!!

p12

>R-
>Right!?

>Eh?
>Wait...

>And what's with you, Aikawa? You were acting all "it's fine if we run into people we know" and yet

you were sweating bullets!!
>Eh?
>You were too, Okachi!?
>Besides, you held onto my hand pretty tightly!
>You wouldn't let go so I had to talk with our hands still held!?

>You were trembling so much that it rubbed off on me!!
