>Could you let me
>be in your band?

p11
>Eeeh!?

>Hey wait
>What's with the sudden change of heart?
>Did something happen YoriYori~?

>Well...
>I confessed to that underclassman I like
>and I got a reply from her last week.

>A reply!?
>You never mentioned that! Tell me already!
>Well, y'see...
>Just come in!!

p12
>I see.
>Ooh
>So you're saying you might be able to date her if you can make her fall for you...

>That's why I want her to see me in a band one more time.
>That would probably be effective.
>...

>What the heck... It's like she's just keeping you.

>No, she's not that kind of girl.
>Hrm~~
>Well... if you say so, Yori.

>At any rate,
>I want to do my best, but...

p13
>Is it...
>alright?

>There's
>no way

>that it wouldn't be alright!
>Welcome to the band!

>Thanks.

p14
>Yori-senpai!

p15
>Sorry.
>I got here a little late.
>It's fine!

>I can wait as long as it takes!
>Fufu

>I'm happy that you're coming here like this again.

>I-
>I've been wanting to come here for ages too!
>That's good then.

p16
>Um...
>Sorry for crying like that yesterday...

>It's fine.
>Don't worry about it.

>You looked cute when you were crying, Kino-san.
>Hweh!?
>Just kidding.
>It was cute, though.

>...

>...

p17
>Hey, um.
>Hwah
>Y-
>Yes!?

>Kino-san.
>I

>joined a band.

p18
>Eh?
>S-
>Seriously!?
>Yes.
>Seriously.

>Th-Th-Then I can see you perform live again!?
>You're really hooked up on that...

>Make sure you come to my concert.

>Of course I will.

p19
>Ah...
>However,

>I'll be practising 2-3 times a week,
>so there'll be days when I can't see you after school.
>Hwuuh!?

>That was quite a shock.
>I want to see the band... It makes me happy...
>But not seeing Yori-senpai is~

>If it's okay with you, Kino-san,
>do you want to eat lunch together on those days?

p20
>Ah
>If you're already eating with your friends then...
>No!

>I'd be glad to!
>Absolutely!

>Have you tried the cafeteria yet?
>Not yet!
>Then let's go there. The ramen's pretty good.
>Yay~

>It's amazing how you're challenging yourself, Yori-senpai...
>Even though you said you wouldn't do it before...

>Maybe I should follow your example and challenge myself with something too...
>Yeah.
>That might be good.

p21
>Why did you join a band, Senpai?
>You were so against it...
>Well...

>Hmm
>How should I put it?
>It's a little embarrassing but...

>I was trying to think of what I could do to make you fall for me, Kino-san.

>Since a band made you fall in love at first sight,
>I figured... maybe that could work again.

p22
>Sorry.
>That sounds a bit desperate.
>And creepy...
>doesn't it...?

>Why would it!? It's not desperate or creepy at all!
>Really?

>It's that part of you that I l-...

p23
>that I think is really wonderful, Senpai.
>That was close.

>I almost
>Really? Thank you.
>said "love".

>Got any requests today?
>Yay! I can make one?

>I really
>love Yori-senpai, but...

p24
>to hit her with that "love" just now would surely be unfair...

>It'd be nice if I had a "love"
>that went beyond those feelings.
