V7 – Episode 28

Yuzuru pressed the sponge up against the clear, white, smooth skin. Then he gently rubbed it as if he was handling a fragile object. “How’s that?” “A little harder would be good.” “Like this?” “Yes, that’s good.” Yuzuru carefully cleaned off Arisa’s small back – though it didn’t even look unclean. Because of the small

C42 – [Epilogue] ◇ Saionji Yuria

I gradually blended into the class. Manamin’s presence also helped. Seeing me talking to her normally, people around me gradually started to talk to me. When you don’t say anything or speak much, the only information you give out is your appearance. If you are given a character, you will be more likely to treat

C41 – [Epilogue] ◆ Sakura Souji

Ever since my epic failure of a confession, Saionji-san has become much kinder to me. I’d say she’s back to her former character, Hiria-chan. No, it was more than that. “Good morning, Souji-kun!　You look great today too!” “Souji-kun, let’s have lunch!　Trade me the greatest rice ball you promised me!　I love onigiri! Onigiri… What’s in it?　I

C40 – Dissolution ◇ Hiria

I kissed Sakura-kun. Twice. The first time was from the other side, and the second time was from me. The first time was in a dimly lit place, and he called me Hiria-chan, so the other person was Nekura-kun. So the second time I did it, I did it to Sakura-kun. I felt a little

C39 – [Sunday] Dinner ◆ Nekura

When she said, “I want to go to Sakura-kun’s place,” my heart jumped, wondering what was going on. I wondered if I had cleaned her room, or if there was any strange garbage. I replayed it in my brain and checked various things. “For dinner.., Sakura-kun’s place is better.” “Eh, Ah you meant the store…”

C38 – [Sunday] Playset at 4 pm ◇ Hiria

Sakura-kun and I walked together. In the back of the park we passed, there was playground equipment similar to the one we had seen during the summer vacation. It was much smaller than that one and didn’t have a partition inside, but it was a playset where you could go inside a semicircle made of

C37 – [Sunday] Gyudon ◆ Nekura

That night I was writhing on the floor in front of my phone, on the verge of getting down on my knees. [“About Sunday, Souji-kun, is there anywhere you want to go?　If not, can we go somewhere I want to go?”] I fainted at the fact that Hiria-chan was typing my name, my official name.

C36 – Date Invitation ◇ Hiria

Let’s accept and assimilate Sakura-kun as a part of Nekura-kun. Once I changed my way of thinking, I felt much better. I was more than happy that I didn’t have to lose the feelings I had for Nekura-kun. It’s fun to be in love. During recess, the girls were surrounding Sakura-kun. As usual, most of

C35 – [Second Library] Reconciliation ◆ Nekura

The sky was blue. Even after all the friendships, romances, and secret relationships that had been going on for a long time were so easily broken, the sky was still there, unchanged. A picture was added to something that had no form, but because of that, the original form disappeared. But it didn’t disappear, it

C34 – Real Body ◇ Hiria

Sakura-kun said that he was playing the role that the people around him wanted him to play. However, he was not able to fully play the role. In particular, he could only vaguely picture what the girls wanted him to be, and as a result, he became an extremely guarded person. That’s why he couldn’t
