What do I do?

Why?

I...

...made her cry.

We'll have the meeting at your house again, alright?

I'm off to study for the test!

We'll see you out front!

Don't be late!

Shouldn't that be my line?

I wonder what my snacks are today?

Hey, Murasame.

Murasame, you hang out with those two pretty often, right?

Yeah...

Hachisuka and Taema?

Them.

So, hey...

Are they really...

...dating?!

Can't believe we asked that!

Well, I'm not exactly sure...

Shouldn't you perhaps...

...simply ask the couple in question?

We're all classmates. No need to worry.

You two didn't leave?

We came back when we heard you talking about us.

Then we'll get to the point!

Are you guys really dating?!

You're always together!

You seem to like each other.

Some of the guys like you, but...

...it's really hard not to think otherwise!

You two have got to be dating!

Also, what kind of stuff do two girls do together?!

I'm not obliged to answer to those who are merely curious, but...

...does gender matter when love is concerned?

Yes... it does.

Then...

you two really are dating!

Lesbians? Seriously?!

Well, uh...

That's their private li—

Cut it out!

That stuff isn't appropriate for discussion here!

What's with you, Aoi? Such a mood-killer!

You're unbelievable, Murasame.

Me?!

As the class representative, you're not supposed to allow such...

Uh...

...scandalous conversations!

I'm not.

How unpleasant.

You're calling us scandalous.

W-What are you...

Are you threatening me?

Oh, wow!

There you go, Tomoe!

Going the distance that others can't!

I love you so much for that!

No, shouldn't you be furious?

How was it? Which part was scan—

Aoi!

She sure is a bigmouth...

Especially for a youngster...

Aren't you around the same age as her?

Oh yeah, I haven't told you.

Tomoe took a break off schooling for two years, so she's really eighteen.

What?!

W-Why didn't you tell us that earlier?

You never asked me.

Sumi... shouldn't we go find Aoi?

I've been defiled.

Please forgive me, my dear Masaka!

Azusa, a kiss without love is not a kiss at all.

Simply think of it as a dog bite.

Yes, of course!

What matters is that we love one another.

Yes! Your love for me is true!

As long you have love, no one can defile you.

You're truly the only one for me, lovely Masaka!

Masaka Orino?

She's not well-known yet.

But her story is amazing!

The girls' relationship is very traditional.

Her profile isn't very detailed, but...

...I'm certain she's gorgeous and very romantic!

Yeah, I guess.

Sorry, Aoi.

Masaka Orino actually is Kazama's brother's pen name.

The work totally reflects the author's personality!

I love the world she pictures, including the protagonist, Masaka!

Now I really can't tell her the truth.

"She breathes out a sigh from her moist lips."

"No, it must have been a stanza from a love song."

That's a line from her award winning first short story.

I'm surprised you know it. It hasn't even been printed yet.

I know it, and I absolutely love it!

How do you know about it too?!

It's something only a fan would know!

Well...

Great. This is a bad situation.

Thank goodness I'm not the only fan around here.

I thought it wasn't that popular.

You're a fan yourself, so you know.

Hachisuka and her friends are just show-offs and wannabes.

It's true they're a little indiscreet...

I knew it! We're on the same page here!

Girls in love with each other... should be more secretive.

Innocent and fragile.

That's why I consider it wonderful.

For example, imagine this building, after school... in a secluded corner...

...the voices of students leaving in the distance sounding like ocean waves.

And finally melting into the wind, at this very place...

...a couple gazes into each other's eyes as they...

Out!

Sorry, I'm being awkward here!

It's nothing.

But I'm really glad there's someone who can sympathize with me.

We can be good friends here.

I think so.

Just forget what Hachisuka did to you, okay?

She's not so bad.

I'm fine! I feel much better after talking to you.

Let's go back to class, then.

S-Sounds good.

Sumi?!

K-Kazama?

T-This is...

Kazama!

Sorry, Aoi!

Kazama! Please wait!

That was...

Kazama...

I know.

You two just tripped, right?

Yeah, that's right, so...

Why... am I...

Kazama.

Murasame!

Where were you?

The class went into chaos after you left!

What?

You're the class rep! Do something about it!

But I...

What is it?

Hang on!

Let's go!

Where's Akemiya?

Who?

What do I do?

I...

...made her cry.

M s . H a c h i

We've reached an impasse on what to call her.

What's your opinion, Murasame?

HACHI-!

I'd go for that.

No, not there, Murasame.

But... why...?

Why would she cry like that?

It was because of me.

Why would Kazama...

Welcome!

Pardon us.

Hi!

Howdy!

I wanted to hold the 12th Girls Club Planning Meeting, but...

We're not going to study for the test?

After the meeting.

Anyway, before anything else...

Did something happen?

You tell me.

Earth to Ushio? Hello?

I don't get it!

Why would she cry?!

What's going on?

No idea.

Oh, my, you seem busy...

Kazama, Murasame.

Sorry, my hands slipped.

What the hell are ya doin', bastard?!

Just because you're a couple years older...

I don't know what's happened between you two, but...

isn't there something you two need to talk about alone?

Yes?

I guess there's wisdom in those two years.

I hope they get dry by the time I have to go home.

Sorry, the dryer's not working at the moment.

There's one for the uniforms at the dojo, but...

That's fine, it's still sunny outside.

There's even a drying rack.

Ah, yeah, you're right.

Wait, what was all that tear-jerking about?!

I don't get this girl stuff at all!

Don't do that, Sumi!

If you use so much force to wash it, it'll get all worn up, right?

You're just not good with this stuff.

You're smart, athletic, and very good at karate...

...stuff that a guy does.

That's it!

What is?

The reason I cried!

Because you acted like some male molester toward Aoi!

Male molester...?

I just couldn't believe it!

Those guys take advantage of girls by force!

I'm glad that's all it was.

I was really bothered until now.

A male... molester...

You're not like that.

You wouldn't do something like that, would you?

I've only got eyes for you.

Sorry!

I got dirty too!

Is it possible...

Just now, she...

...seemed to have been waiting for a single word... why?

Is... there really hope for me?!

Could Kazama have hidden feelings for me?

It's so warm today.

It might dry quicker than expected.

Yeah.

So, Sumi... what did you and Aoi talk about?

Well it was...

Hey there, Murasame!

Lookie here! I made this!

Masaka Orino Fans newsletter!

Orino...

Masaka?

It can't be...

Why are you two here?!

Because we're friends.

What's this, a fanzine on girl novels?

And it seems you're the only author in this for now.

Ah, here we go, "Every sentence..."

Do you think... I can go home?

Don't go on reading it aloud!

Don't go.

Such a lively crowd!

Indeed.

I see.

What?

I'm not a fan of narcissism, but...

I could tell that the love in this piece was overflowing.

It's very passionate.

Forgive me for my disrespect of you earlier.

I see great things in you.

I need you.

Be part of our Girls Club!

You like girls, you should join our club.

I am... not at all... into this kind of hobby...

I-I'm satisfied with the pure and delicate world made by my Masaka!

I want no part in vulgar and unrefined activity!

R-Right, Murasame?!

How do I put this...

Are. You. Dumb. Or. What?

Hey forehead, you sure like whining a lot!

Forehead?!

Hey, you guys tried to recruit me last time!

We did?

Dunno.

It's already 4?

Guess that means we should start studying.

But I still don't wanna... that's so bothersome.

Well, I better get going then.

Oh, alright. Sorry if I've been a bad host.

It's alright, my visit was sudden.

I'll leave these here for you.

Please tell me what you think of them.

S-Sure! Thanks!

What would you girls like for dinner?

I'm starving!

It's sunset already.

I want meat!

Same here!

You guys have no shame.

So you're all staying for dinner? For crying out loud.

I'll be sure to return your clothes soon.

Nah, there's no hurry.

Do you have to go home?

I have to run back to make my brother's dinner.

Don't be like that, I visit your house all the time.

Here. I figured your brother might want to take a look.

But...

There's a bunch here, thanks to Aoi.

You can return it once you finish.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow then.

Yeah, tomorrow...

Bye.

Yeah.

Be careful.

You're making it hard for me to leave, Sumi.

S-Sorry about that.

Bye-bye.

I know of her.

She even sent this to my publisher.

Really?

You go to the same school?

She mustn't find out that you're really Masaka Orino.

You're making it sound like I'm famous or something.

The truth is, you're not that popular at all...

I'm going to work harder. That's right.

I didn't mean it that way.

Really?
