>Crepe and Kase-san (part 2)
>Because Yamada was watching, it wasn't painful at all.
>What I ate with Kase-san
>were sweet strawberry crêpes.

p2
>What are you talking about, Yamada?
>You know a whole bunch of stuff we don't!

>We may have spent three years doing track and field
>but you've spent three years being Yamada the plant appointee!

>Hey, come on in!
>>tug
>Ah

p3
>Can you see it?
>?

>Every morning I come to this field.

>Over there.

>That's where you gather water from, right Yamada?
>You get it somewhere else during the winter, though.

>We had some really tough training during the summer
>where we'd have to run twenty laps around the track.

p4
>But you were always outside the track doing your weeding.

>Because I was watching you while I ran
>it wasn't painful at all.

>And since we started dating
>you always waited over there until evening for me.

>We've been together this whole time, right?

p5
>I
>want to always run together with you, Yamada.

>Kase-san...!

>Kase
>Sorry for the wait
>>dash...

p6
>I ended up bringing out some starting blocks from the storage room.
>Wanna use them?
>Ah
>Sorry 'bout that.
>Well, since they're here, we may as well.

>Okay, I'll set them up.

>Ah
>Inoue-senpai...

>>badum...
>Now she's in sportswear...
>she seems even more threatening

>>glance...

p7
>Not going back?
>Yamada-san?

>>eep!

>Can't be helped, I guess.
>Phew~

>Here, take this.

>Eh!?
>>Awawa
>Huh? It's your first time?

p8
>Eh?
>What the heck is that, senpai!?
>>Eeh
>Eh? It's just a starting pistol.

>It's fine.
>Even someone like Yamada-san
>can start our match off, right?

>Eh!? Wait, giving Yamada something like that...
>I'll do it!

>I'll do it!
>I'll
>start your match off!

>Bwah...
>I can do it, Kase-san!!

>That's right.

p9
>Right now, I can do anything.

>Back during that PE lesson in our second year
>I forgot to time Kase-san on her run.
>This time, I'll do it properly.

p10
>>badum
>Up until now...

>I was scared of Inoue-senpai,
>because she was someone from the same club as Kase-san, running on the same track as her,
>living in the same world as her.
>>badum
>>badum

>I mean, whenever Kase-san does club activities, it feels like she's someone really far away from me.

>I want to always run together with you, Yamada.
>>grip

p11
>Get set!
>Me too

>>Bang
>I want to run together with Kase-san from now on

p12
>Ah....

>Scary

>Hah

>Dumbass!
>>bonk
>Ow
>What are you saying when you're the one who won!?

>Ah
>Huh?
>She won!

p16
>Aren't you glad that you managed to get a better time than usual in front of your girlfriend!?
>Kase!

>Heh!?

>Eh?
>Isn't it the same as always!?

>As if! That time should've been better than what you got in the interhigh, right?
>Geez
>What's with you? After I came all this way to try and beat you!

p17
>Bang!

>Eh?

>I heard all about it!
>You're going out with Kase!
>Right, Yamada-san?

>You're certainly not what I expected!
>I thought you were just a nuisance!
>But still, that was a good run!
>Sh-

p18

>Ah
>Y'see, Yamada...
>You always went home together with Kase last year, right, Yamada-san?
>Riding the same bike and everything~
>>hyuk hyuk
>I saw it all!!

>Kase acted completely different to whenever she went home with me!
>It really surprised me.
>I thought you two sharing a bike was pretty suspicious back then!
>To think you were actually dating!
>Hah~~~~
>No, it wasn't like that!

>>snicker

>I'm sorry for saying all that stuff, Yamada-san.

p19
>Kase is my precious underclassman, after all.
>I've been curious about what kind of girl she was dating!

>I was surprised by just how much guts you had!
>Well, I suppose you have been doing weeding after school all this time!

>Being a plant appointee
>is your club activity, Yamada-san.

p20
>Go pass your college exams and come to Tokyo with Kase already!
>I'll show you around!
>Ahahaha

>Why would I have been dating Senpai?

p25
>What's with the apron?
>giggle
>It suits you.

>This?
>It does not suit me
>I went to our class' stand looking for you and they forced me to wear it....
>Where the heck did you go off to anyway?
>I bought some crêpes too
>Me?

>I figured I'd plant some tulips
>with the bulbs you got me.

>Right now!?
>Eh? Weren't we gonna plant them together?
>Yeah
>I only laid out the soil.

>>giggle

>We sure do.

>It really is just track and...
>>stare

>...

p27
>D-
>Don't tell me...
>you were
>a little jealous...?

>Eh?

>Y-
>Yeah
>...
>I guess...

>A little bit!
>Just a little!
>>stare

>I-
>I mean, I heard you used to go home together
>like you were d-dating or something...
>>nom nom nom nom nom

p28
>>Wooooosh
>Well, rather than going home together
>it was more like Senpai would always challenge me to race against her on our bikes on the way home.

>We got told off about it so many times.
>It made us kinda famous around the school.
>And not in a good way

>So that's what it was...

>I'm sorry.

>I was planning on keeping our relationship a secret but...
>back during my exam, when Senpai was waiting for me at the train station...

p29
>I was so happy when you told me that you were coming to Tokyo with me, Yamada.
>And, well...

>the massive smirk on my face gave everything away.
>...
>Eh?
>Your smirk...?

>Sorry. I was planning to keep quiet about it but...
>No, it's fine...
>for that reason...

>Inoue-senpai looked so cool.
>She was beautiful and felt confident and mature.
>Eh?
>Yeah...
>Well...

>She didn't have much confidence in the old days...
>>cloudy...
>I guess she must've changed during college.
>Is it the makeup, perhaps? For some reason she seems...kinda
>Flashy...
>Makeup?


p30
>Maybe I'll become like that when I enter college too!
>I'd like to become a little cooler!!

>>snicker
>You're fine the way you are, Yamada.

>>papa
>>parara
>Ah, the band's about to start in the courtyard!

>The drama club's in the gym, right?
>And after that, it's the dance club!
>There's still some time left so let's check them out, Kase-san!
>I've actually been looking forward to it...

p31
>I've been feeling lonely since we haven't been going home together lately.
>And we won't be able to go home together starting from next week.

>I lied when I said I was a little jealous.

>The truth is, this entire time...
>I thought you had dated someone besides me, Kase-san.
>Whenever I thought about you doing something like this with someone else...
>it was really painful.
>Really sad.

p32
>It always brought me to the brink of tears.

>You have so many friends, Kase-san.
>Every time I see you with them, I get really jealous.

>...It's weird, right?
>That I'd do something like...

>What the heck.
>Wait.

p33
>...I'm so happy...
>I could cry.

>Eh?

p34
>You need to tell me important stuff like that,
>Yamada.

p35
>I
>will never fall in love with anyone but you, Yamada.
>Not a chance.

>>papa
>>parara
>Ah

p36
>Looks like the band's started.
>Shall we head to the courtyard?
>Aha

>Yeah!

>During our final culture festival
>I never let go of Kase-san's hand.
