2. "Gooood morning!!"
3. "Wonder if she has a boyfriend?"
4. "Maekawa's a real eager beaver, huh."
5. "She's gotta have one, for sure."
6. "She's a hard worker! Good kid."
7. "Gooood morning!!"
8. "Good morning, Shimizu-san!"
9. "Aaa aah ahhh hhh"
10. but aren't you a popular one, Maekawa...
12. I try not to get invested in office kiss-and-tell,
13. She seemed like the type guys like, but, still.
Laddar…Laddar…
1. "But"
2. "I was surprised that the girls you ship barely talk to each other--"
3. "Hey, Maekawa-san."
4. "I watched the DVDs you lent me!"
5. "It was really good!"
6. "Ah... it's a secret just between you and I, onee-sama!"
7. "people are watching~"
8. "Do. Not. Talk. About. It."
9. "Stop it."
10. "What're they up to?"
11. Maekawa Akane. She's been working here for three years now.
12. We were barely even acquaintances, on 'good morning' terms only,
13. until she accidentally discovered my secret life as a doujinshi artist,
14. and for some reason, after that, we started chatting a lot.
15. "Wao!"
17. She Was So Shocked She Sold It
Laddar…Laddar…
1. "There wasn't even a flower show on when you did come to my event."
2. "Look."
4. "Ah."
5. "!"
6. "Shimizu, can I grab you for a sec?"
7. "Oh, sure."
8. "I wish I could believe you."
9. "ahaha!"
10. "I must've gotten the day wrong, too!"
2. "If you just want to go and get drunk, I'll pass."
3. "A party to get the sales and tech departments to bond, huh?"
4. "There's been a bunch of squabbles between departments lately, right?"
5. "This is an order from on high."
6. "Just help me out for once. You know how much of a pain you are?"
7. "No. You do it all, Kidoguchi."
8. "So could you get all the tech people together? Much appreciated."
10. "Shut up, peon."
11. "the life of a nerd is busy."
12. "Oh, come on!"
13. "Why?"
14. "Alright, I'll handle anything."
15. "Could you reach out to the general management?"
16. "Guess I have to, then."
1. Maekawa's such a good kid!!
2. "But why..."
3. "made friends?"
4. "Uh... I guess so...?"
5. "I mean, you made friends with Maekawa, so why not."
6. "Maekawa's a cutie, huh~"
7. "Midoguchi, you broke up with your girlfriend a lil' while ago, right?"
8. "What are you insinuating!?"
9. "Ahh, last month, yeah... uh, why exactly are you asking?"
10. "Oh, a party?"
11. "..."
1. "Sounds great! I'll ask the others, too."
2. "So you'll be there too, Shimizu-san!"
3. "I was told to get the managers in on it, so."
4. "I prefer not having to do anything,"
5. "but I feel kind of bad getting Maekawa to do my work."
6. "..."
7. "Wait! Pause right here!"
8. "...so,"
9. "Oh, no, it's just a certain thing I didn't quite get..."
10. "why are you rewatching this again?"
1. "Look! See! They're on screen at the same time!"
2. "That's a passionate, lusty gaze!!"
3. "And Ako is looking back at Bimi!!"
4. "From a girl who wants to overcome that senpai-kouhai gap!! It's..."
5. "Love!!!"
6. And yet, we savour every moment of canon, looking for that hidden potential, that beautiful subtext, to support us...!
7. "Maybe you just can't see it... it's okay..."
8. "..."
9. "?"
10. "That's the power of us fans... We are the suffering pariahs, with the spiciest ships, bearing the sin of twisting canon to fit our own needs..."
11. At last, our headcanons become too large for our heads alone, and we are impelled to vomit it out...!!
12. "I don't think it's that big a deal."
1. "I feel a fire in my heart, and I can block out everything I don't like!"
2. "And I can create the world I want to see, and show it off to everyone else!"
3. "Haha."
4. "Ah... Go on, mock me."
5. "I think it's awesome."
6. "Not at all my intention."
1. She's always cheery at work, but,
2. I think Maekawa--
3. this is the first time I've seen her really, genuinely, honest to god smile. From the heart.
5. "No! Of course not! I'm not stupid!!"
6. "Shimizu-san, be a little quieter."
7. "I don't fall for women irl!!"
8. do I feel like this...
9. "W-why"
10. Could I be... falling for Maekawa--
1. "It's bitter, like this brew."
2. "That's right. Real life is never so sweet."
3. "Are you okay?"
4. "you grew a 'stache"
5. "Cheee-eers!"
6. 'What are you insinuating!?' Shut UP, Kidoguchi, it's pretty fucking obvious what you want!!!
7. "Guh."
8. "Not that,"
9. "you know, it's got anything to do with me-- "
1. Tonight's already a lost cause, so--
2. "Shimizu-kun,"
3. I'm acting like a child! What's wrong with me!?
4. "let's get properly drunk tonight!"
5. "Let's get some shochuu in!!"
6. "Booze! Is! My! Gasolina!!"
7. "Oi, hold on--"
1. "Alright, to the next place!"
2. "Let's forget everything!!"
3. "Crap."
4. "Sleep deprivation is just making me feel even more drunk."
5. "Ah..."
6. "Will you join us?"
7. "Shimizu-kun, I don't think you've had enough booze! Let's get going..."
8. "Gotcha--"
9. "Excuse me!"
1. "We'll be going now, sorry!"
2. "Eh!?"
3. "alright, boss!"
4. "it's by the town hall!"
5. crammed in there
6. "Hey."
7. "You're going home?"
8. "Ahaha! We'll come along next time!"
1. "You and Midoguchi seemed to be having a good time!"
2. "Why're you doing this?"
3. "...what are you..."
4. "talking about!?"
5. "Weh!"
1. "Yep,"
2. "you have a fever!"
3. "eh, isn't she always like that?"
4. "is she okay?"
5. "Midoguchi told me about"
6. "how hard you've been working..."
7. "You're scarily out of it!!"
8. "Eh?? I'm perfectly healthy!"
9. "Please, get some sleep!"
10. "that made me"
11. I Want To Freaking Die
12. "And he also told me you don't have many female friends, so I "should be nice to you"..."
13. "a bit jealous."
14. "...you know,"
1. "I'm meant to take care of our employees, that's my job, but I didn't even notice..."
2. She didn't hear this.
3. "Ohhhh my god!! Ship-bait!!!!"
1. "Don't think about it! Just sleep! Please!"
2. "Aaa aaa aaa ahh hhh"
3. "That was fast!"
4. "She's really worn out, so."
5. "Zzzzz"
6. "Sorry for"
7. "Heck of a way to ruin your manuscripts, though."
8. "nnnh..."
9. "every- thing..."
10. "Mae- kawaaaa."
1. "You're not the one"
2. "who should be apologising."
4. Inside my heart,
5. I feel a fire burn-ing--
1. "Let's keep this a secret."
1. Ah...
2. And let it ring out;
3. the sound of a new world being born.
1. "...wait,"
2. "Augh. Drunk way too much."
4. "Nh..."
5. "My manu-scripts!"
6. That day,
7. "Did I do this much detailing? Huh..."
8. "Huh?"
1. a light in my soul that I thought had gone out
2. suddenly shone once again, small as it was.
3. "...I mean, who else would have?"
4. But then again, I don't think I even realised it at the time.
