1. "Midterm exams are next week."
2. "The Student Council will be on recess from now until the end of the tests."
3. "Hey, Koito-san."
4. "Try not to bring back any grades that will embarrass us."
5. "Stop! When you say it, I get legit scared!"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "What? Why not?"
2. "Because we're not going out!"
3. "No!"
4. "Are you meeting up with Nanami-senpai anytime during break?"
1. I worry about Senpai because...
2. deep down, she's shaky and unsteady.
3. "But you really love her back, don't you?"
4. And I'm the only one who knows that.
5. I've thought about it, and...
6. he's wrong.
1. If I had to say it in a word...
2. I would have done the same...
3. I'm soft.
4. for anyone. Not just Nanami-senpai.
5. So he's wrong.
6. "This indirect auxiliary verb and the connecting particle above it..."
1. "I'm sorry."
2. "I'm putting the part you just slept through on the test."
3. "Ehhh?"
4. "There's a rare sight."
5. "Hey! Kanou."
6. "Huh!?"
7. "Just a second, Yuu."
8. "We're in the science lab next. Let's go."
9. "Mm..."
10. "I'll meet you up there."
11. "?"
1. "A novel...?"
2. "Could you read this?"
3. "And tell me what you think of it."
4. "What's this?"
5. "You wrote this, Koyomi?"
6. "That's why I didn't get any sleep."
1. "You damn recluse!"
2. "Well, I never told you."
3. "I didn't know you wrote!"
4. "I knew you loved to read, but..."
5. "Huh!?"
6. "Huh?"
7. "It's embarrassing, so I've always kept it to myself."
8. "Wow..."
9. "Wow... Wow!"
10. "I wish you'd told me ages ago!"
11. "You read a lot."
12. "And you won't hold back on telling me the bad parts."
13. "You sure you want me?"
14. "But I wanted to submit this for a newcomer prize,"
15. "and I needed somebody's opinion before I sent it."
16. "That's where you come in."
1. "I'm reading cover-to-cover! And giving my full review!"
2. "It's pretty long."
3. "If you get bored halfway through, feel free to just..."
4. "No way!"
5. "... Thank you."
6. "You can do it after midterms. I just wanted to finish it before the tests started."
7. "When's the contest deadline?"
8. "Oh, did you need that review quickly?"
1. Lucky you, Koyomi...
2. A novel...
3. She already knows what she wants to do with herself.
4. If she's going after prizes, she must be looking at writing as a career.
5. For now, I have to do what I can.
6. Focus on what's in front of you: midterms!
1. "Want to come with me to the library?"
2. "I was thinking about getting some studying in before I headed home."
3. "Hey."
4. "I'm going home and sleeping."
5. "O- Oh... yeah, guess so."
6. "Tests are still a week away. I'd forget it all by then."
7. I forgot what Akari was like...
8. "Guess I'm going by myself."
1. "Yeah. How about you, Koito-san?"
2. "Headed home?"
3. "Maki-kun!"
4. "I'm actually on the way to the library."
5. "Do you want to come study with me?"
6. "I can't focus on my own."
7. "Oh? I might just have to take you up on"
8. "tha-"
9. "?"
10. "Or then again, maybe not."
1. "Oh."
2. "Huh? Yeah!"
3. "See you, Koito-san!"
4. "Are you headed to the library too?"
5. "..."
1. "I'm glad I found somone to study with, but..."
2. this is a little awkward.
1. "No no. Focus."
2. "It's math."
3. "This problem here."
4. "Oh, for this one..."
5. "Where are you having trouble?"
1. "?"
2. "Here's the formula you'll need, here."
3. "..."
4. "Pardon me"
5. "Run it through the first few steps... now clean it up a little and... there, see?"
6. "Ooh! I get it."
1. "Thanks for today."
2. "Huh?"
3. "You taught me a lot."
4. "I was the only one who really got anything out of it."
5. "But we're studying completely different material."
6. "Ehhh? As you well know!"
7. "Teaching can be a good way to study too."
8. "I'm not sure how I feel about that."
9. "If you're going to insist, I can only say..."
10. "Love always gives without asking anything in return."
1. "It feels wrong if I'm only getting and never giving."
2. "That's not really the issue."
3. "You don't like it?"
4. "Used"
5. "to it, huh?"
6. "I give because I want to."
7. "Maybe I'm trying to get used to it."
8. "Let's study together again tomorrow."
1. "Yeah, all right."
2. It didn't have to be Nanami-senpai.
3. I just needed somebody to sit next to.
1. There's no throbbing in my chest. I'm not floating up on a cloud.
2. I didn't choose this.
3. Still...
1. "Sorry for the wait."
2. "Is this okay?"
3. "It looked like they were inviting you somewhere."
4. "Oh, no worries!"
5. "I want to be with you!"
6. Still,
7. being chosen has its own charms.
8. Though I may have been happy regardless of who chose me.
1. "!?"
2. But for now,
3. the person beside me is her.
1. "See you tomorrow."
2. "Yeah."
3. Maybe this...
4. isn't such a bad relationship we've got.
1. "Ah boy"
2. "I don't think there's anywhere to sit together..."
3. "The closer exams come, the more packed it gets."
4. I'm getting used to spending time with Nanami-senpai.
5. That's the way I began to think of it.
6. "..."
7. "What should we do?"
8. "Say, Senpai."
