In both love and war, you're allowed to have a strategy.
And that's why I've decided to go with this one.
I'll say this now, but by no means did I mean to run away.
I'm just buying some time.
Sorry it's so sudden, but...
I've liked you for a long time now!

Morning~
Sorry,
Did I keep you waiting?
No- pe.

What do we have for first period today?
English. Didn't I tell you we had a quiz?
Wh- at?!
Serio- usly?

By the way, Nacchan, did you manage to tell Seto- guchi-kun yester- day?
Argh! Let me tell you all about that~
What is it? Do tell.

Yay!
But treat me

Though it was my
treat...

Wow...

Thank yoooou, Akari-chan!

Does it really matter?
It's a confession rehearsal.

Is it alright for you to be over at a guy's house this late?
Huh? Why? You're an ex- ception, aren't you?

We'll be coming in for a bit!

You're too soft-hearted. If you don't like it, just say so.
What's this, all of a su- dden?
You know what I'm talking about.
No, I really don't.
■
If you've got someone you like as well, then you should be more honest about it.
Oh, is he talking about our confession rehearsal?
Did he hear some- thing from Aida...?
■
Be more honest?
Hey, I'm gonna leave you behind!
Haruki, you're the last person I want to hear that from...

Wait!
I like you!
Huh?
Everything I said about a confession rehearsal was a lie!
You're the one...
You're the one that I like, so much that I can't take it!
I'm not very girly,
get jealous easily, and I don't like it when I'm not taken out on dates often…
I'm a self-centered idiot, but...
but...
I want you to go out with me!
...heh.
Obviously,
I'm the only one that could put up with you, right?
Me too.
I feel the same way.
■
I wonder if Nacchan pulled it off.
Was she able to tell him how she feels…?
I-
■
What's wrong?
No... it's just...
■
Ha...
Haruki-kun, do you have a crush on anyone?
Eh?
■
Awawa, what am I even saying...
Ah, no,
um...
■
Yeah, I do.
■
I do have a crush.
■
Ah...
I see.
■
How about you?
■
I do.
■
clench...
■
I see.
Oh, I just remembered I had something to do,
so I'll be going home now.
See you later, then...
It isn't me!?
Just who could it be...the one she likes...
It isn't me...
He said that he has someone he likes already.
I was the only who thought...
Yeah.
But, I don't want to give up.
Yeah. I know...
Come to think of it, I've got cake at home!
Huh?
It's a new menu item from the Hoshiya across the station!
Huh?
Will you eat some?
Yeah!!
I can allow myself to eat sweets just for today, can't I?
C'mon, Akari-chan! Let's hurry!
'kay! Time to stuff myself!
■
Ah, Akari chan~
Miou- chan! What's up?
■
Which store did you buy yesterday’s cake from, again?
■
Hoshiya. Did you like it?
Yep.
Then, let’s eat there next time!
Yeah!
Their lemon tart is seri- ously deli- cious!!
■
I'm glad.
■
I’m glad that you’ve cheered up.
■
Love sure is compli- cated...
■
Love, huh...
Love sure is compli- cated...
Love, huh...
■
If I also find some- one I like, I want to walk home together...
And maybe we could hold hands...
■
And go eat cake too...
Haya- saka- san.
...Mochi- zuki- kun?
Uh, umm...
■
I have some- thing to talk to you about.
At 4:10 after school today, could you wait for me in this class- room?
■
This is the sec- ond time we've talked.

I mean, we've only talked twice...!
Am I not good enough?!
N-no, I think you're fine...
E-eh...?
Eh?
I-I mean I like you!
Like I said, I like you!
I'd never make you feel sad, and I'll make sure you're smiling every day!
And, I'd love it if you made me a bento daily!
It's too much work to make one every single day, so no thank you.
Seriously?!
Oh, come to think of it, a new cake shop's opened across from the station!
If you'd like, shall we go there together?
Y-yes!
I'd love to!

Wh-what should I do? I need a topic, something we have in com- mon...
■
Wait, huh? Was my confession even okay in the first place? Or did she reject me? But we're going to have cake together, so it's an after-school date...but wait! Hayasaka-san said she liked someone, so... I should make up my mind right now and ask her...
