1. "Why are you monologuing?"
2. And so, I arrived at shimamura's house.
3. "You sound like hino."
4. "Now that you mention it..."
5. "!"
6. Have I really come over to a friend's house?
7. It's my first time since middle school doing something like this.
8. "Yeah, I figured she'd be here."
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
1. "Sorry to intrude."
2. "Hmm?"
3. "Yep, it is."
4. "I guess having it on the second is way more common, huh?"
5. "That's rare."
6. "Your room's on the first floor?"
7. "Here."
1. "Back..."
2. "Welcome..."
3. "Big sis!"
4. "Ah!"
5. "This is my friend. From yesterday, remember?"
6. "Hi."
7. "Sure."
1. "No, it's fine."
2. "Sorry about that."
3. "She's just really shy around strangers."
4. "I still share a room with my sister."
5. "She was probably waiting for you to come home."
6. "No, I don't think that was it."
7. Despite being her older sister, she didn't notice, huh?
8. Something about the way she ran away reminds me of myself.
9. If I happen to see her when I leave, I should apologize to her.
1. "..."
2. Oh, she bought a table tennis book?
3. This is shimamura's room.
4. Her room is nothing at all like the one I saw in my dream.
5. Of course, as one would expect...
6. "Hino caught those. My little sister likes taking care of animals, so I leave them to her."
7. "You like these things?"
8. "They still do that thing?"
9. "I guess, yeah."
10. "She also takes care of the class pet in school, I hear."
1. "Okay."
2. "You sit there, Adachi."
3. "Now, whatcha wanna do?"
4. "Ah!"
5. They're showing drama reruns.
6. "Beep!"
7. "Beep!"
8. "They're playing this again?"
9. I've seen this one countless times since I was in middle school.
10. Shima-mura has seen it too.
11. "..."
1. She's sitting...
2. Still...
3. Pretty far away.
4. "..."
5. Yet, I still feel restless.
6. I know I shouldn't mix dreams and reality...
7. "Umm, shimamura..."
8. "Hmm?"
9. Don't say it...
10. "D-"
11. "Don't say it..."
1. "Sit between your..."
2. "Legs...?"
3. "Do you mind if I, like..."
4. She doesn't mind!?
5. "Huh?"
6. "No, I guess I don't."
7. She's gonna think I'm a weirdo...
8. Oh no! Why the hell did I say it!?
9. "Huh?"
10. She... Doesn't...?
11. Wait...
12. "Come here, come here."
13. Okay, listen. This isn't a dream or anything like that.
1. "Hey. What are you doing?"
2. "Your posture is pretty stiff."
3. "Wh-whoa..."
4. "W- well, it is, but..."
5. "It's completely normal, is it not?"
6. "My sister sits like this all the time."
7. "No, I just..."
8. "Wh-!"
9. "Come here!"
10. "Ouh..."
11. That was a lie. This is anything but normal.
1. I need to say something, or I'm gonna look unnatural.
2. She's right behind me...
3. "Sh-"
4. "No."
5. "And you'd be right. Wait, didn't you ask me this same question just the other day?"
6. "You think I do?"
7. "Shima-mura..."
8. "Do you have a... Boyfriend...?"
9. "What about you, adachi? You have one?"
10. "No."
11. "Oh, did I?"
12. Oh crap! I wasn't thinking, and accidentally asked her that again.
1. "I see."
2. That's how shi-mamura usually is.
3. She asked me just because I asked her. That's probably all there is to it.
4. Her reaction didn't sound like she was particularly interested.
5. She puts no effort whatsoever into trying to force a conversation between us.
6. That's what our relationship is always going to be like...
1. This is just like in that dream.
2. So close!
3. Her face is so close ...
4. "Hey, adachi. Are you okay?"
5. "I, umm ..."
6. "I love you."
7. What the hell was I about to say!?
8. "Wait, what?"
9. "Huh!?"
1. Huh?
2. "Umm, adachi...?"
3. "Hm?"
4. Did she hear!?
5. What am I gonna do if she did?
6. "Are you okay?"
7. "Are you breathing? Your face is bright red."
8. Could it be that... My voice didn't come out?
9. Touch-ing my lips...
10. "Ah..."
11. Her finger is...
1. Maybe you're not supposed to sit like this with a friend?
2. "Sure."
3. "Let's play a game."
4. Still, adachi sure was acting suspiciously just now...
5. "Good luck."
6. "..."
7. "Hey."
8. "Hm?"
9. "Now you've done it!"
10. "Eeek!"
11. "Gah!"
12. "Instant-kill headbutt!"
13. I was planning to do this to adachi, but she turned around herself before I could.
14. "Good going, sis!!"
15. "Hahaha!"
16. "Stop!"
17. Will adachi be at the gym tomorrow? I wonder...
18. "..."
1. What the hell am I doing?
2. What the hell am I doing!?
3. "Wh-"
4. "!"
5. "I... Love you."
6. "Whadashaa!?"
7. "Whada- shaa..."
8. "..."
1. Taking the events of yesterday into consideration, I thought that adachi might come here today.
2. "She's not here."
3. The next day.
4. However, she's not here. Maybe it's too early for her?
5. "9 O'clock?"
6. I guess her not coming could be seen as the more natural outcome.
7. I thought she might come, but...
8. "Or maybe she got in an accident on her way home? I hope not."
9. "I better message her to check."
10. "Still, she sure is blowing this out of proportion."
11. "What even happened? Nothing."
1. Now, what to write...
2. Good thing we exchanged numbers when we first became acquainted.
3. "Why did you leave yesterday?"
4. Hmm, maybe a little too direct...
6. Something adachi might actually reply to.
7. I need something softer....
8. "Hmm..."
9. I should go to class soon.
10. Personally, I'm feeling perfectly fine.
11. Is this the best I can come up with?
12. "Haha... And send."
1. "Good morning."
2. "Ooh."
3. "So, you did come, huh?"
4. "Wait, didn't I say that yesterday too?"
5. "Hino Nagafuji."
6. "Morn- ing."
7. Has she not noticed my message?
8. I'll just sit in class while I wait for adachi to reply.
9. You'd think that she would've seen it by now.
13. "..."
14. Still no reply from adachi ...
16. "And send."
17. "You're weak, Adachi."
1. Or maybe she hasn't noticed the message?
2. Is she still thinking about what to write?
3. Don't tell me, is she ignoring it?
4. "Hmmm..."
5. School ended, yet adachi still hasn't replied.
6. "Hello."
7. Adachi's nice, she'll probably let me in!
8. Though, I think it'll be fine.
9. She also hasn't replied to the one about me coming over...
10. "Huh?"
11. "Who is this!?"
12. "Wh-"
1. "..."
2. I'm surprised that she asked me to play table tennis again...
3. "Ho!"
4. "Is it volleyball today?"
5. "Get the net ready before the teacher comes!"
6. "Let's open the window and jump out."
7. "Oh damn, my heart's pounding."
8. "Huh? But, this is the second floor. Won't we break our legs?"
9. "What are we gonna do if they come here?"
10. "Why are you getting a kick out of this?"
11. "Hmph."
12. "How is my lack of calcium the problem at hand!?"
13. "Huh!?"
14. "So, you're saying you don't get enough calcium?"
2. She keeps them all stored in her desk!?
3. Come to think of it, does adachi even have the textbook with her?
4. "Whoa!"
5. She's looking this way.
6. "!"
7. No wonder her bag always looks so light.
8. "Textbook?"
9. "?"
10. "!"
11. I better make sure she doesn't mistake my stare for something it isn't.
12. "Umm..."
13. Why are you worried about me!?
14. "You forgot your textbook?"
1. Special thanks
2. Author: hitoma iruma
3. Designer: non
4. Assistant: kome
5. Everyone involved, family, friends, as well as you for picking this up.
6. Thank you so much for reading all the way.
2. "It's gotten lukewarm..."
3. "Yep."
4. "You're drinking water today, shimamura?"
5. But she feels really cool.
6. I don't know if it's because of her transparent skin or what...
7. "..."
8. "I thought your thighs might be cool."
9. "What are you doing?"
10. "..."
11. They were soft, though.
12. Turns out, they weren't.
2. Adachi: Despite her grown-up appearance, she's bad at dealing with people.
3. Both have so many things they don't know about each other.
4. Shimamura: Her hair is dyed brown, and she's a bit of an air-head.
5. As the two spend their days skipping class on the second floor of the gym...
6. Their friendship is relatively shallow, having only begun after entering high school.
7. That friendship slowly starts to change form, just a little bit.
