Eh?
What do I do?
Why?
I...
... made Kazama cry.
itsuka kimi to miageta sora wa
いつか君と見上げた空は
The sky that we gazed at the other day,
kokoro no naka sotto toketeiku
心の中 そっと溶けていく
quietly, into my heart, it melted away.
shiroi nooto ni kaita tegami wa
白いノートに書いた手紙は
The white note paper, where I wrote the letter,
yukusaki o tsugenai mama tojikometa
行く先を告げないまま閉じ込めた
is gone, and without telling you, has been locked away.
kotoba ni sureba modorenai kara
言葉にすれば戻れないから
If I were to tell you, then we cannot go back.
itsumo kimi to miageta sora wa
いつも君と見上げた空は
The sky that we've always gazed at;
kanashii kurai aoku sukitootteita
悲しいくらい青く透きとおっていた
so sad, so blue, so clear.
Alright, we'll have a planning meeting at your house again.
I have to study for the test!
I'll see you out front!
Don't be late!
That's my line!
What's my snack today?
Hey, Murasame-san.
Murasame-san, you've been hanging out with them recently, right?
Hachisuka and Taema?
So um...
Are those two...
... dating?!
I can't believe we asked!
Um, I don't know.
Those kinds of things...
... should be asked to the couple personally.
We're your classmates; don't hesitate.
I thought you guys went home.
We came back because we heard our name.
I'm going to ask straight up then!
You guys are dating, right?!
You guys are always together!
You guys seem like it.
Some of the boys like you, but...
I find it hard to think otherwise!
There's no way that you two aren't dating!
What do you two do together as girls?!
I have no obligation to explain myself to those who are just curious, but...
... is gender a consideration in who you love?
Yes.
It is.
So, that means you guys are dating!
Yuri? For real?!
Um... No... Anyway...
That's up to personal...
Hey, stop it!
That's not something to discuss out loud in the classroom!
What's wrong with you Aoi? You're no fun!
I can't believe you, Murasame-san.
What, me?!
You're supposed to be the class rep!
Don't be talking about such scandalous things!
I wasn't.
How unpleasant of you to call us scandalous.
What-
Are you trying to coerce me?!
As expected of Tomoe-chan!
You do the things that other people can't!
That's why I love you!
No, you should get mad.
How was that? That's what you call scandalous.
Aoi-san!
Young kids today only talk big.
But you guys are the same age.
Oh, I didn't tell you?
Tomoe-chan took two years off from school, so she's 18 this year.
Why did you not tell us until now?
You never asked.
Sumi-chan, shouldn't we go after Aoi-san?
I was sullied.
Please forgive me, Sister Masaka!
Azusa, a kiss without love doesn't count.
Forget about it. Just pretend you got bitten by a dog.
You're right!
The important part is that we love each other.
Yes! Just as you love me!
As long as you have love, you will never be sullied.
Sister Masaka is the only one for Azusa!
Orino Masaka-san, huh?
Not quite a famous author yet.
But the story is amazing!
The girls' friendship is written about in an ancient style!
There isn't much revealed about her, but...
... I'm sure she's someone romantic and beautiful!
Yeah... Probably.
I'm sorry, Aoi-san.
Orino Masaka is Kazama's brother's pen name.
The work is a reflection of the author!
I love this world, including Sister Masaka!
I can't tell her the truth.
"She let out a sigh from her shiny lips."
"No, it could have been a stanza from a song."
Oh, that's from the short that she got the new writer's award for.
I'm surprised you know that! It hasn't gone into press yet.
Yeah. But its alright, isn't it?
You know about it, Murasame-san! In-depth and hardcore!
Yeah, I guess.
Oh no, I'm getting sucked into quicksand!
I'm glad there aren't any other fans around me.
I was worried that it wasn't popular.
If you're a fan of hers, you know...
... that people who are open like Hachisuka-san aren't the real deal.
You're right - they're a little much.
I'm glad! We're thinking along the same lines!
Love between girls should be more secretive.
Pure and fragile.
That's why I think it's beautiful.
For example, like this place.
After school on the outskirts of the campus.
The voices of the students that could be heard from afar sound like ocean waves.
Their voices melt away.
Then, there...
... is a couple looking into each other's eyes.
Out!
I'm sorry, I was being impolite!
No... Well...
But I'm glad that I found someone that would understand me.
We can be great friends.
You're right.
Please forgive Hachisuka for what she's done to you.
She's not a bad person.
I'm alright thanks to you, Murasame-san!
Let's go back to class.
Yeah. We should.
Sumi-chan?!
Kazama?!
This was... um.
Kazama!
I'm sorry, Aoi-san!
Kazama!
Wait up!
That was...
Kazama?!
I understand.
You just slipped, right?
Right, you're right, so...
Eh?
Oh no. Why am I...
Kazama.
Murasame-san, where did you go?!
It's chaos back in the classroom!
You're the class rep! Do something about it!
Um...
I'm...
What's wrong?
Hey!
Hey, hurry up!
How about Akemiya-kun?
Who's that?
What should I do?
I...
... made Kazama cry.
We've gotten into a huge argument about what to call her.
Which one is good, Murasame-san?
Hacchi-!
Well... I don't mind that.
No. You can't, Murasame-san.
But, why...
... why would Kazama cry?
Just because of me.
Why would Kazama...
Welcome.
Excuse me.
Hi!
Hello.
Now, we would like to commence the 12th Girls' Club Planning Meeting, but...
Aren't we going to study for the test?
That's after the meeting.
Anyway, before that...
... did something happen?
Who knows.
Ushio-chan, hello?
I don't know!
Why did she cry there?!
What happened?
Who knows.
Well, well... How vibrant.
Kazama-kun, Murasame-kun.
I'm sorry, but my hand slipped.
What the hell are you doing?! Just because you're older!
I don't know what happened, but...
... I think you guys need time to speak in private.
What?
I guess two years really makes a difference.
I wonder if the shirt is going to be dry by the time I go home.
I'm sorry, our dryer is broken right now.
But there's one for the gi in the dojo.
It's sunny out today.
Drying it outside will be good enough.
You're right.
What?! Then what were those tears for?!
I don't understand girls!
No, Sumi-chan!
You can't be that harsh with it.
Sumi-chan, you're so bad at these things.
You're smart, good at sports, great at karate...
... you're just like a boy.
That's right!
That's why I cried!
The Sumi-chan I saw was like a violent man that attacked Aoi-chan!
Violent man?!
The worst people...
... are those who coerce girls with force!
Oh, I feel relieved now.
I felt really uneasy until now.
Violent... man.
You wouldn't do that, right.
Sumi-chan, you wouldn't do something like that, right?
I wouldn't do that to anyone.
I'm sorry!
I spilled it too!
It can't be.
Just for a second...
... she seemed like she was waiting for me to say it.
Or not.
Or is there hope for me?!
That Kazama has a secret crush on me?
It's really hot today.
It might dry quicker than the dryer.
You're right.
Anyway, Sumi-chan.
What did you and Aoi-san talk about?
Oh, about that...
Hey!
Murasame-san!
Look, look! I'm making this!
A newsletter for Orino Masaka fans!
Orino...
Masaka?
It can't be...
Why are you guys here?!
Because we're friends.
Oh, a fanzine for girl novels, huh?
It seems like you're the only writer for now.
Let me see "Every sentence..."
Can I go home?
Don't read it out loud!
Don't go...
It's so lively!
Yeah, it is.
I get it.
What?!
I don't like the narcissism, but...
... there's a love for the writer. I can see it in your writing.
It's so passionate.
I apologize for the disrespect for earlier today.
You have great potential.
We need you.
Would you like to join the girls' club!
If you like girls, you should join our Girls' Club.
I'm not... like that.
I only like the fine and delicate world drawn out by Sister Masaka!
I don't want to be like you - wild and untamed!
Don't you think so, Murasame-san?!
Um, how should I put it...
Are... you... stupid?!
You're just annoying, five-head!
Five-head?!
Well you guys tried to recruit me last time too!
Really?
Who knows.
Oh, it's already four o'clock.
We should start studying for the test.
Yeah, we should.
Oh, man I don't want to.
Well, I have to go home now.
Oh, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to be more hospitable.
No, it's OK.
I came unannounced to your house.
I'm going to leave these with you.
Read them...
If you don't mind, can you tell me how it was?
Sure, thanks.
What would everyone like for dinner?
Oh, I'm hungry!
Oh, it's this late already.
I want meat!
Oh, me too!
You guys are inconsiderate.
Anyway, you guys are staying for dinner?
Oh, well.
I'll be sure to return your clothes.
Don't worry about it.
Are you really going home?
I have to go home and make my brother's dinner.
I can come anytime, Sumi-chan.
Take this, I think your brother would like to read this.
But...
Aoi-san left a lot of them.
Once you're done with it, you can give it back to me.
Thanks.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow...
See you.
Take care.
Um...
Oh Sumi-chan, you're making it hard for me to go home.
Sorry.
Bye bye!

Oh, I know her. She sent it to my publisher.
Oh, is that so?
You went to the same school?
I have to be careful so that she doesn't find out my brother is Orino Masaka.
You make it sound like I'm famous.
In reality, you're not that popular.
I'm gonna work harder. Yeah.
I didn't mean it like that.
Next Week: "Like a sunflower"
I'm OK.
