-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2FrHiKIlxE
Tadashi's face is covered by Natsuko's foot,he gently pushes it away.On the other hand,Natsuko is peacefully sleeping in the bed.Tadashi looks over to an alarm clock on the table showing 8:12 am.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAu8qOyfpzNw
-This girl came into my room saying she couldn't sleep alone in the other room.I thought it would be fine to let her sleep with me.(yawns) I couldn't sleep all night because she kept kicking me.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAcLXUPL5wSj
Tadashi gets up and pulls back the curtains and opens the window.
Sunlight pours into the room as and as it hits Natsuko in the face,she rolls to the other side of the bed. She obviously didn't want to be bothered.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAhBL8fKsZe5
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAiWaSj4rABi
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
738Please respect copyright.PENANADltnKyfEeU
"Mmm....Later.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAqOaDiUVuPl
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAC4VXtHCglb
"Oi,Don't be so lazy,it's already late.wake up Natsuko."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA1lzR6SrGTd

738Please respect copyright.PENANA9g9rff0JpT
"Natsuko,it's not good to sleep late."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAf8xU9V8vtQ
"Mmmmm.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAYPgwRPktud
She babbles something
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZlJ9IX9c4e
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAY6yX7KbWGa
"Papa is lying.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAchk5etS9Tz
-This brat knows..
738Please respect copyright.PENANAuy7aBLq2aF
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ufprhb7mq
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
738Please respect copyright.PENANABBkD2BAyxh
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAUNWyahGzLD
"Papa! What happened?.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANADNjqQZ0owL
"You woke up at last,huh?"

"Hey hey,don't say that.Kids of your age are supposed to be energetic."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAsnJ0WvbGnk
"Papa,I'm not a child.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAyw4stBGAke
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAqhfDei05BA
Tadashi could be heard running around and shouting from inside the washroom as Natsuko continues to make a mess everywhere due to her carelessness. As they exit, Tadashi collapses on the floor, a defeated expression on his face.
738Please respect copyright.PENANACMitCK084g
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAGlJJnm51nF

738Please respect copyright.PENANATSqkdkE5uH

738Please respect copyright.PENANAUfiDhBeUKr

738Please respect copyright.PENANApOXpNBU1dA
"Nice to hear that,but there's no mama here,so we gotta make it ourselves."
738Please respect copyright.PENANASntVUC2iFp
"Okay papa~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAL6BGfhSem7
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHmVRpeyW
Tadashi points at her little bag saying this which makes her rant saying that she wasn't a blue cat with gadgets to which Tadashi laughs saying that he was just kidding with her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAN30KgtlKc8
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.

738Please respect copyright.PENANAEXHpFqRnwK
After a short while, they get dressed and are at the doorway putting on their shoes.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZEWO92l7Mq
"Ok Natsuko,before we go, I'd like to explain some rules to you."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAMSH7DR4TDw

738Please respect copyright.PENANAelvx5kpwor
"What do u want then?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAOQoFTlEY4v

738Please respect copyright.PENANApZ91MmppX7
"I thought kids of your age like things that are sweet."
738Please respect copyright.PENANACRAdbPbxKv

738Please respect copyright.PENANA3KgqxTOQuV
They reach school and Yui looks up to see some big school buildings.Tadashi's school was considered one of the best in the state and everything there looked perfectly placed.The school had a big compound with some few big buildings in the center,one which included an old abundant building which was once the main school building.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2XwJIZHXBv
"Papa,where are we?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAE47Fs0UCP4
"The school! I need to practice for the upcoming interschool sports week!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAK6UD9tvgDy
Tadashi was enthusiastic about it and Natsuko could hear it in his tone.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAyyjZAA3wUF
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAUN1XcjAYgw
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAfGf05F3B30
"Okay.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAtGnxDkkBCK
"By the way,Natsuko...Do I play for any big events in future?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAJPzcW8Z9ka
"Papa always goes to the office.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAuBoSQUXsUz
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2WtDmlNbbj
Natsuko tells him that he would always say that he's busy and never made time to play with her...He is disappointed in himself and apologizes to her and promises her to do better in the future.
738Please respect copyright.PENANADukwfHtC6W
"Papa,It's okay.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAAVI8r5dcVV
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAylcp75uxfc
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAEISk3GOZDJ
She gives Tadashi a startled look.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAXcjs6t6wqL
"Really?~"
Natsuko's jumps in joy upon hearing that.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAXhhmXZrTSV
"Of course,let's play a lot."
Natsuko gives her a head pat.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ5TpGmGhq
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAwE9Zw8NHRC
As they're having a conversation,Tadashi hears someone call out to him.He sees a guy waving at him coming towards them along with a girl.They seem to be his friends.
738Please respect copyright.PENANACe1gOLTzlq
"Papa,who are they?~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAOx1Fgs06Mp
"They're my friends."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAeG1ppg8kh3
He tells Natsuko to remember the rules as his friends approach.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAwbm22l9iqY
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA781wlbahil
They wish him back.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAvDt7YVMu3c
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAqetUzYZn5n
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAEW7aVy0DR8
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
738Please respect copyright.PENANApZY2OY5CUp
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZENQFDUibD
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAX8hTgPJV51
"Natsuko, hello there I'm Misaki and he's Akigo, we're very close friends of Tadashi, you can call me elder sister and you can call that guy an idiot."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAjVuXGu2z1K
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAm1n5QIT1mn
"I wasn't wrong tho."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAS1JzO6cZ78
"Why you!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAcOqlMr6Fx3
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAGJe70qeMlw
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAkY6naBlCF3
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
738Please respect copyright.PENANANowYkKLr5z
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAgjutpoqCJv
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAJnGGNtvLEd
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
738Please respect copyright.PENANArIppWmJmuv
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAK1xjys2l57
--oh.I haven't introduced them to you guys,
Aight,let's start with my childhood friend Gushiken Akigo.
When you see him shouting at anyone,don't worry,he's not angry or anything, it's his natural tone.He's usually a fun person excluding the fact that he asks a lot of useless questions.Physically,he's very handsome and matured looking and is very talked about from the girls who like him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAdIYiMqMhIH
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAnoOX7OSNP2
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAEUBpl7NPOr
"Alone?!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAHGGDzhYwwY
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2kOJ4XVynJ
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAq3oAXV4Qjq
She's also a childhood friend of mine and Akigo.She's quite the hothead and is considered a beauty,she would have been the perfect girl if not for the fact that I feel like she literally loves hitting me and Akigo.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAK7bi1l7XE3
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
738Please respect copyright.PENANACsmqSJdhMY
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAmAFaKCpDis
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAaJvzSfwzfw
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAMkDbrkQych
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA14cHHNbl3e
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2wbjLmpaB
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAjXd5Evg7Vx
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAvmO4PQRe3p
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAGGDlXzbVDx
They all seem to be against him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAMT3NdXltJ3
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAMxAmWgUXxd
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAFww80qkiP4
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAjvnVZjYHWP
"Papa, I'm bored."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAqvydfDvXCg
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA7GQ20lpbRk
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
738Please respect copyright.PENANAM28OxVIBWP
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAesbfRBexgY
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAOzOycPUz4W
"Yes..Papa's right!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA10YEHYRru3
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
738Please respect copyright.PENANA3aqsy7VmkZ
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA9debxJfv2E
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
738Please respect copyright.PENANA7pvNTcN1bA
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
738Please respect copyright.PENANAwLNzSOarUr
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
738Please respect copyright.PENANADRTJP1eW0h
"Natsuko...she lost her dad soon after she was born,I've been with her a lot of times as I usually go to her place,that's why she calls me that."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAhWptK5BwIv
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAACbaKEBOua
-holyyy!! That was close...
738Please respect copyright.PENANAnXfSoU8Pqv
According to Akigo,he had already understood that it wasn't a significant issue. Both Tadashi and Misaki express their surprise that he realized this. He tries to convince them that he is quite smart, but they simply ignore him and carry on with their conversation.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAuD4aROynkR
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAwUxRMzSUhw
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA9gXBUR2kfc
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAHplt6wgAnW
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAxnq1JlwvR3
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAYTFzEGgCId
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAs73GGSJTtM
Misaki then tells him that she was going out shopping.She would visit his place later and asks him if she could take Natsuko with her.Tadashi thinks it's a great idea since she was a responsible girl and Natsuko would enjoy it with her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAFD4kOlxxdE
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA7j4awKxW5l
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAYRs2SsWBG6
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAIcbwu4udex
Natsuko doesn't seem to be interested and so misaki tries different approaches but it results in nothing new.She finally asks what Natsuko wants to get.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAJGB1Fk9KEv
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAsxTaHzWPzz
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAQwV7fJTTam
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAqjdCvH65e4
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAd1LNEhDxfd
Natsuko runs to Misaki's side as she hears that.Tadashi sighs at the thought of how little it takes to make Natsuko happy.As Misaki is about to leave,Natsuko runs to Tadashi and tells him to bend down to hear her,she whispers something and goes back to Misaki and leaves.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAfaKoVKwVDm
As he yawns,he decides to go wash his face to freshen himself.As he dried his face with a towel,he notices the old building and decides to check it since there's none to scold him and Akigo still had time to return.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAXqrY0Qc8wp
He explores the rooms and the things on the ground floor and decides to check the other floors too.He reaches the top floor but doesn't see or feel anything unusual,he now starts to find it boring.
738Please respect copyright.PENANApHCHng2HrN
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2jTFxLjk2j
He walks down the steps and feels his phone vibrate.He takes it out to check it but it slips from his grasp and he tries to catch it when he missteps and goes rolling down the stairs and only comes to a halt when he hits a wall.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zd0MbWKie
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAeZJcv7xZFr
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAxg9rUTzUm3
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANALBYaEj8YRC
-So much for practice,huh?... This is bad,I'm bleeding from my arm and hand.I think I hit the edge of some old staircase,the cuts look bad...
738Please respect copyright.PENANATXPjLFkgPq
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
738Please respect copyright.PENANALMMuV9PP8v
"I can't fall unconscious here."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAEj5PatdamF
He tries to walk with the support of the wall but falls unconscious.When he comes back to his senses,he hears a girl's worried voice talking to him,but due to his current state,he has trouble comprehending it.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2WWEaQbbGj
-what happened? Did I pass out?
738Please respect copyright.PENANANWc8X8WFBi
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAvZBTNHlW6w
He sees a girl tending to his wounds.She was a young woman with black hair that was around shoulder length and the thing that stood out was a scar that covered part of her face. He looks at the bandages on his arms and hands and figures out that she had helped him from bleeding out when he was unconscious.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAalWQ5hM2eJ
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
738Please respect copyright.PENANATV7WhX5ugV
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA3kQxMU5rAH
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAbpwPLf1bx6
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA2NoSPgg3hq
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAc84g4mNHdE
"Thank you a lot."
738Please respect copyright.PENANADLnE4k3YzU
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAFUFq0oW38z
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAQb02OwgIWs
As they wait for the Akigo to arrive.They hear Akigo's voice call out his name.They then hear something fall with Akigo screaming and the voice stops.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA0teoWd8XVs
"What was that?~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAKj1ys8d1s1
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAFIbs2rPGDf
-I'm sure he fell down.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAMaHOx74lkf
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAVIlqfeOpRj
"Ok.~"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAbU8Q76jg6b
She sits down again.
738Please respect copyright.PENANA0mNfcjkHX2

Tadashi tries to speak, but the pressure of the circumstance causes him to stammer. She believes that he is feeling uneasy because of her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZsdi8FPJLh
"Umm... Asato,am I making you uncomfortable?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAAudO3PJdja

738Please respect copyright.PENANAKmwxBtfvQk
"You,You're a-a- asking me out?"
She stammers and looks down to hide her blushing face.

"I was kidding! Just kidding..ghhh"
Akigo taps on her arm and it starts to look like a scene from a wrestling match.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAwqhdqI2bx6
To add fuel to the flame,Tadashi tells her about Akigo falling out of a window from the first floor.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAfRFUSRCu8C

738Please respect copyright.PENANAiCtuPwGkFj
"Natsuko,what are you writing?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAHgnwKzmMJq

"Hey hey,you can't fool me with that."
He points at the book that she was holding to behind her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAv2z8qa03QA
"Eeeeh, it's Mama's diary."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fbp9FAstg
As he hears that,he realises that it was the same book she was reading yesterday and then told him about meeting his wife today.
738Please respect copyright.PENANALXxTn3gJpn
"Wait so this book knows the future?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAVA3YrvzciP

738Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yb5D0aPnu
"No! It will harm papa's future."
738Please respect copyright.PENANASbvysdHyIu
"But you're here to help me,right?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAmC6oxuSHRh
Natsuko tells him that she can only help with things that her father will regret in the future, and that he will have to do the rest on his own without knowing what is about to happen.
738Please respect copyright.PENANANDJRRpEZ4T
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAV0ZqziBDah
"Natsuko told you to watch out, papa forgets easily."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAbozOGvmFjF
"Oh that's what you meant by that.Now I understand why you weren't worried."
738Please respect copyright.PENANABPDxKUvPRN
He sighs and says that he only wanted to know who his wife was since he couldn't meet anyone due to his injury but she tells him that he had already met her.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAOK3LUCL4jR
-did she say 'help'?
738Please respect copyright.PENANARrXK2Mp0A0

"Natsuko,what is mama's name?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANApYs215uWx0
"Yui Asato."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAT4CVJy809L
-it's her!!! It's Yamada !!!

738Please respect copyright.PENANAN0R51U765f
"Papa,what happened?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAA9iQ0BJCg1
He snaps back to reality.
"Nothing,nothing!"

"Hehe, Papa is in L-O-V-E."
She grins at him.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAtCaX6MOkvu
"Hey hey,you're too young to be saying that."
He tries parenting her but seems to be failing at it.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAuiOtrmC64l
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
738Please respect copyright.PENANA8SbvwUvXHV
He pursues her playfully while limping a bit while she circles the room yelling that. When Misaki enters, she rubs her knuckles on Tadashi's head and asks him why he's playing rather than relaxing.He apologizes and then,Akigo comes in saying that he couldn't concentrate on his card castle because of their shouting and it fell again.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAQKVsaJ9Z8o
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
738Please respect copyright.PENANAZun8ZbuUVV
"Damn you! You don't know how much creativity and time it takes to make one! A single castle takes ages!"
Akigo replies to Misaki's remark
738Please respect copyright.PENANAgdHnFCTYXU
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
738Please respect copyright.PENANAmxIfT9tFnh
They begin to argue, and Tadashi attempts to calm them down. He then laughs thinking about how much they argued unnecessarily,Akigo and Misaki stop and laugh thinking about it too.
738Please respect copyright.PENANApdMzcVgitb
As night comes,Natsuko and Misaki are seen sleeping,and in the other room,Akigo and Tadashi can be seen talking while in their bed.

Akigo is sleeping on the bed while Tadashi sleeps on the futon mattress.
738Please respect copyright.PENANANE5jPwO9sO

738Please respect copyright.PENANA9oLAlK00I4
"Akigo,can I ask you something?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAbDRggLUoj4

738Please respect copyright.PENANAooijbU20Kw
"Noo,I was just asking!"
He waves both his hands while denying it.
738Please respect copyright.PENANANooirLLXeX
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAlywTOAAuIr
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAVNQgYNYYYI
"I do think she's nice,maybe she's someone who likes to keep things in her heart,that's why other students have a hard time talking to her...but whatever the reason,she saved my best friend and I can't thank her enough."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA9cMyWZB0WO
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAc0xAhkpI45

"Yes,yes,what do you want to hear?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAQLnIhP1zKV
"Do you have anyone you like? And don't tell me the names of those girls you hang out with."
738Please respect copyright.PENANAF9lwNCy0Hy

738Please respect copyright.PENANACytNd7fS2q
"Who?"
738Please respect copyright.PENANAsnkUpY9yiO

"Well,I'm sleepy,goodnight Tadashi."
738Please respect copyright.PENANA1xvECPkYMU
