>What is it?
>D-Don't I gross you out...?

>Huh?
>Why would you?
>Why? I mean, it's weird...

>I don't really think all too much about love and stuff, so it doesn't really matter to me who you like.
>Makes no sense to me.
>That being said, I was happy that you told me the truth.

p9
>Th-Thank goodness. I hated how it felt like I was lying to you this whole time, but

>...I get what you mean. Thanks for working up the courage.
>Don't worry. I'll never hate you, Saki.

p10
>I promise.
>...Yeah!

>But still, Saki-san, aren't your standards a bit too high if you're rejecting someone like me?
>Wha- That was just, y'know, a joke...
>Ah, really? Does that mean I'm still in with a chance?
>A chance...? You're gonna really make me fall for you if you stay stuff like that...!
>>The end!
