**Pg. 104**
Kayano's thoughts: Spring filled with passion.
Kayano: Can you at least knock when you come into my room?
Takeru: What? I did knock! You're the one who wouldn't wake up!
Kayano's mom: Geez, Kayano. You're so lazy. Takeru-kun woke up earlier than you. You're starting school today, so start having some more responsibility and wake up yourself.
//kusu// [Takeru chuckles]
Takeru: You're getting in trouble.
Kayano: Yes...
//bata bata// [Takeru's dad running]
Takeru's dad: Tokiko-san!
Kayano's mom: Yes!?
**Pg. 105**
Takeru's dad: How is this suit? Do I look good in it?
Kayano's mom: Oh, Mamoru-san, you look wonderful!
Takeru's dad: I bought a new one since it's a new school year.
Kayano's mom: You look really good in it.
Takeru's dad: Are you even more attracted to me, Tokiko-san?
//jakin// [Takeru gets his gun ready]
Kayano's mom: Oh, Mamoru-san, you have some dust.
Kayano's thoughts: To make a note of Mom and Takeru's dad's family register before my eyes...
**Pg. 106**
Kayano's thoughts: We moved into the Edogawa house one week ago. Our house's contract was going to end this spring, so with that reasoning too, we moved in here like this...
Takeru: What?
Kayano's thoughts: Eating breakfast with Takeru-kun.
Kayano: Hm? Nothing...
Kayano's thoughts: I wonder what time Takeru-kun wakes up to mess with his hair...Anyway...
Takeru's dad: Alright! Let's go to school together with the 3 of us today!
**Pg. 107**
Takeru & Kayano: What!?
Kayano's thoughts: We're still strangers.

**Pg. 108**
Edogawa server: Have a nice day, chairman!
Kayano's thoughts: We look like mafia!
Student: Whoa...that's our chairman?
Students: I was wondering about this before, but who is that girl?
Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh!!
Takeru's thoughts: That old man!
Students: She's always with the chairman's son.
Student: Oh, I heard...
**Pg. 109**
Student: ...That their parents are going to get married, so they're going to be siblings.
Haru: Morning, Kayano! What class are you in!?
Kayano: Class 1!
**Pg. 110**
Haru: No way! We're together!!
Kayano: What!? Haru and Nachan too? Alright!!!
Haru: Kamijou! What about you?
//kusu// [Kamijou chuckles scarily]
Haru: Uh!!?
Kamijou: Class 2...
Kayano: Uh...have a nice life.
Nachan: Haru, that sucks about Kamijou-kun..
Haru: Well, there's nothing you can do about this. Anyway, even if he's in a different class, he's right next door.
**Pg. 111**
Kayano: Well, yeah, but...
Kayano's thoughts: I wonder what class Takeru-kun's in?
//giiii// [toy lifts girl's skirt up]
//kyaaaaaaa// [girl shreiks]
//biku// [Kayano jumps]
Girl: What the hell are you doing!?
Nachan: What's going on?
Kayano: He's in...Takeru-kun's class.
**Pg. 112**
Takeru: What's up!?
Kayano: Takeru-kun!

Kayano's thoughts: What!?
Kayano: Next door!!?
**Pg. 113**
Youhei: We're the only class that gets to stay together.
Kayano's thoughts: N...no way...
Takeru: We'll be seeing you around.
Youhei: Later!
Haru: You gotta give it to the rowdy group. They don't even have to change classes.
Nachan: "Put a cap on smelly things", right?
Kayano: They're getting rowdy first thing.
Haru: Next door, huh?
Kayano: Y...yeah.
**Pg. 114**
Teacher: Spring...it is a change bustling around. A new environment and meetings...
Haru //hiso// [whispering]: So?
Kayano: Huh?
Haru {whispering}: What's going on with your development?
//kaaaaaaaa// [Kayano turning red]
Kayano {whispering}: Development? There's really nothing to tell.
Haru {whispering}: Of course there's gotta be something! You guys are living under the same roof now.
**Pg. 115**
Kayano {whispering}: I'm telling you there's nothing. Mom and Takeru's dad is there too. Takeru-kun hasn't changed his ways either.
//kaaaaaaaa// [Kayano turning red]
Kayano's thoughts: And then I see a dream like that. I'm too conscious about it.
Haru: I wonder if it's "that"? If a rival doesn't show up, the relationship won't go any further?
Teacher: Going on now...we will be introducing the new teacher...
Kayano: You're having fun with this, aren't you?
Haru: Oh, can you tell?
Nachan: Hey, there's a cute guy up there.
New Teacher: Hello!
Kayano: What?
**Pg. 116**
New Teacher: I'm Shinnosuke Fujita. 22 years old. I will mainly be teaching the 2nd and 3rd year liberal arts class.
Kayano: ...w...
New Teacher: Nice to meet you all.
Haru: What? Did you say something, Kayano?
**Pg. 117**
Kayano's thoughts: No way!!?
Kayano: Sh, Shin, Shin-chan!?
Haru: Huh?
//pita// [Haru stops]
Haru: What? You're first love?
Nachan: I've never heard that story before!?
**Pg. 118**
Kayano: That's because I was in elementary school.
Haru: Elementary school!?
Kayano: He used to always come over our house. My dad taught Shin-chan.
Haru: Taught him?
Nachan: Oh...you're dad was...
Kayano: Yup. He was the junior-high teacher.
Shin: Kayano-chan?
**Pg. 119**
Kayano: Shin-chan!
Shin: I'm happy that you remembered me.
Kayano: Oh, yes. It's been awhile.
Shin: It has been a long time. I was suprised that you were going to this high school.
Haru & Nachan: Hello Fujita-Sensei (teacher)!
Kayano's thoughts: I was suprised too!!!
Shin //niko// [smiles]: Hello.
**Pg. 120**
Shin: I heard that you're Mom's getting married?
Kayano: Oh, yeah. With this school's chairman.
Shin: I hear. I saw you this morning.
Kayano: What!?
Shin: You might be going through a lot, but you better work hard at your studying, okay?
Kayano's thoughts: Shin-chan's really a teacher...
Shin: You guys too! This year is examinations.
Nachan: Whoa!
**Pg. 121**
Haru: And you're a theorist...
Nachan: Ha ha ha. I bet you're unpopular with the girls.
Kayano's thoughts: He was still in junior high when he used to come over.
Shin's words: "What's wrong, Kayano-chan?"
**Pg. 122**
Shin's words: "Why are you crying?"
Kayano's words: "I broke it...I broke Dad's fountain pen. Dad takes good care of it too...when I touched it, it wouldn't write anymore."
Shin's words: "Can you let me see it for a sec?"
Kayano's words: "...Shin-chan?"
Shin's words: "No problem! It's not broken. The ink is just packed."
Kayano's thoughts: He was smart.
**Pg. 123**
Kayano's words: "Really?"
Shin's words: "As long as you put it in water like this, you can write with it again."
Kayano's thoughts: And he was nice. I really liked him.
Takeru: Who is he?
**Pg. 124**
Kayano: Huh....?
Takeru: That guy you were talking to in the hallway.
Kayano: You were watching?
Takeru: Who is he?
Kayano's thoughts: Hm? Is he mad about something?
Kayano: I used to know him.
Takeru: I see...
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart thumping]
Kayano: Are you worried about...
Takeru: No.
**Pg. 125**
Kayano's thoughts: Then why do you ask!? This guy that can't be flustered about anything!
Kayano: I used to like him when I was in elementary school!
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]
//chiro// [Kayano looks over at Takeru]
**Pg. 126**
Takeru: Really...? Well, aren't you glad you got to see him again?
Kayano's thoughts: Oh no! Did I make him mad!?
Kayano: But now, I like you the most, Takeru-kun! Really...
//gui// [Kayano pulls Takeru's arm]
**Pg. 127**
Takeru: I know that. You don't have to pull my arm that hard.
Kayano's thoughts: This spring, I'm being flustered around by the person I love again.
Kayano: You're mean, Takeru-kun! You did that on purpose!
Takeru: Huh? What are you talking about?
Kayano: I'm home!
Kayano's mom: Welcome home! Oh, I'm glad you two are together. Your grandmother is here.
Takeru: Hmmm...that's odd.
Kayano's mom: She has something important to tell you, so you two go change.
**Pg. 128**
Takeru's grandma: The kids are home?
Kayano's mom: Yes. They'll be right down.
Takeru's grandma: Well, I'm glad the family register is set. Please take care of Mamoru, Tokiko-san.
Kayano's mom: Yes, mother.
Takeru's grandma: Now, I'm just hoping Takeru will hurry and calm down.
**Pg. 129**
Kayano's thoughts: I wonder what's so important?
Takeru's grandma's words: "Takeru is a very important successor"
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]
Kayano's thoughts: I'm scared. I'm weak when it comes to Takeru's grandma...
//katsu// [Takeru's button comes off]
Takeru: ....She pulled too hard.
**Pg. 130**
//gachya// [Takeru opens Kayano's door]
Takeru: Hey! You better put on this button...alright?
**Pg. 132**
//gyaaaaaaa// [Kayano shrieks]
//bikuuu// [Kayano's mom & Takeru's grandma jump]
Takeru's grandma: What is going on!?
Kayano's mom: Kayano!
Takeru's grandma //haa// [sighs]: Geez...I'm sorry that my grandson doesn't have manners, Kayano-san.
Kayano: It's okay.
Kayano's thoughts: He saw. He saw. He saw.
**Pg. 133**
Takeru's grandma: They say that "Even if it's a new relation, you should still abide by the rules of manner", right? Takeru! Are you listening!?
Takeru's thoughts: She screamed so damn loud.
Kayano's thoughts: He saw. He saw.
Takeru's grandma: Even if you're going to become family, there's no excuse for you to watch a girl change before she gets married!
Kayano's mom: Well, well, mother. Takeru-kun didn't do it on purpose either.
Takeru: Isn't that enough now? So, what's the important thing you have to tell us?
**Pg. 134**
Takeru's grandma: Before that, Takeru! Can you go buy some Youyoudo's Tsubuyoukan? I'll give you the change.
Takeru //don// [slams his fist down on table]: Why!? Why do I have to!?
Takeru's grandma: Just go. I have something to talk about with Kayano-san.
Kayano's thoughts: What...? What?
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]
Takeru: I can't listen too?
**Pg. 135**
Takeru's grandma: No you can't.
Kayano's mom: Then I'm going to prepare dinner now too. Let's go, Takeru-kun.
Takeru's grandma: Tsubuyoukan, alright!?
Takeru: I know!
//dokun dokun// [Kayano's heart beating madly]
Kayano's thoughts: Wh...what's going on!? Just the two of us!? Oh no...
**Pg. 136**
Kayano's thoughts: Is it possibly...
Takeru's grandma: Kayano-san.
Kayano: Y, yes!?
//dokun dokun// [Kayano's heart beating madly]
Taekru's grandma: It's about Takeru.
Kayano's thoughts: She knows!?
**Pg. 137**
Takeru's grandma: Do you know if Takeru is dating anyone right now?
Kayano: What?
Takeru's grandma: Does he have a lover or not? He won't tell us anything like that. I thought that you would know.
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart thumping]
**Pg. 138**
Kayano: I...I'm not really sure. I wouldn't know...
Kayano's thoughts: She scared me!! I thought that she knew!
Takeru's grandma: I see...I wonder....If he is dating someone, I would feel bad for her.
Kayano's thoughts: What...?
Kayano: Who is "she"?
**Pg. 139**
Takeru's grandma: Huh? Oh, well, there's a great marriage proposal for Takeru.
//shya// [Takeru riding his bike]

Takeru: Excuse me, could I get 4 Tsubuyoukans.

Takeru: Definitely NO. Besides that, I'm only 16, ya know?
**Pg. 145**
Haru: Marriage Proposal!!? Takeru-kun?
Kayano: Yeah...
Nachan: That means they're going to date knowing that they're gonig to get married!?
Kayano: Y...yeah....
Nachan: Wow!!! That's like being the son of rich kid!
**Pg. 146**
Haru: But he's still in high school.
Nachan: Well, he is going to be the next chairman, so his lifestyle is different from an ordinary person's, right?
Kayano: I don't know what's going on, but Takeru's grandma is saying it with her own judgement...besides that, if she found out about us, she might kill me...
Nachan: No, you're watching too much suspense shows...
Kayano's thoughts: How many obstacles are there going to be...?
**Pg. 147**
Kayano's thoughts: ...To this love?
Takeru's grandma's words: "Rumi Saionji-san. 16 years old. She comes from a good family and is very pretty."
Kayano's mom's words: "Wow, she is really cute."
Kayano's thoughts: What a great last name...
Takeru's grandma's words: "She's one of my students in my flower arrangement class. I've known her for awhile. After I told her about Takeru, she was so interested in him."
//dan// [Takeru slams his fist on table]
//biku// [Kayano jumps]
Taekeru's words: "I told you that I didn't want to! Listen to what people tell you!"
**Pg. 148**
Takeru's grandma's words: "What are you mad about!? I'm thinking about your future..."
Takeru's words: "I'm telling you to stop making your own judgements! I'm not a kid, so I can decide for things on my own."
Kayano's thoughts: Takeru-kun...
Takeru's words: "Anyway, just dismiss this arrangement!"
Kayano's thoughts: But I'm sure...
**Pg. 149**
Kayano's thoughts: We'll overcome any obstacle. Even if we can't see the future.
//kiiiiin koooon// [school bell rings]
//gyu// [Kayano pinning up paper on bulletin board]
Takeru: What are you doing?
Kayano: Takeru-kun!
Takeru: What is this? They're looking for new members? Pretty lame.
Kayano: Don't say it's lame. Yeah, Kamijou-kun asked me to put it up. Oh, sorry, Takeru-kun can you get me a thumb tack?
Takeru: You're going to use me, aren't you?
Kayano: Oh yeah. They said that there's no practice today.
**Pg. 150**
Takeru: Why?
Kayano: The coach had to go the hospital...
//gura// [Kayano falls over]
Kayano: ...Ah...
//dotaaaan// [Kayano falls down as Takeru catches her]
**Pg. 151**
Takeru: That's dangerous!
Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh!!
Kayano: I, I'm sorry! Did you get hurt?
Takeru: Yes. My ass really hurts.
Kayano: No way! Sorry. I'll move right away...
//pon// [Takeru holds onto Kayano]
Kayano's thoughts: Huh?

Takeru: No.
//doki// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Kayano's thoughts: He always teases me!!
//don// [Kayano pushes him away]
Kayano: Geez, let me go!
**Pg. 153**
Kayano's thoughts: What if somebody sees us!!?
//tan// [Shin walks up]
Shin: Oh? Kayano-chan!
Kayano: Sh, sh, sh, Shin-chan!
Kayano's thoughts: Did he see!?
Shin: What's wrong?
Kayano: Oh, I just fell. Ha ha ha. Right!?
//jiiii// [Takeru staring at Shin]
Kayano: Ta...Takeru-kun?
**Pg. 154**
Shin: Hm...?
Kayano's words: "I used to like him when I was in elementary school"
Kayano: Oh...um....
//jiiiii// [Takeru staring at Shin]
Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh!! He's staring hard-core!! I shouldn't have said that!!
Kayano: Oh, Shin-chan, he's...
Shin: You're the chairman's son, right? You're going to be Kayano-chan's brother...
Kayano: Y...yeah.
Shin: Nice to meet you, Edogawa-kun. I'm Fujita.
**Pg. 155**
Takeru: ...I don't plan on talking to you or anything.
//hyuuuuu// [wind blows]
Kayano's thoughts: Oh no...
Kayano: I'm sorry, Shin-chan.
Shin: Ha ha ha! That's okay, Kayano-chan! He's a pretty funny little brother!
Kayano's thoughts: What?
Teacher: Oh, Fujita-Sensei, the official was calling you!
Shin: Oh, yes, I'll go right away. Then, I'll see you later.
Takeru: He really gets on my nerves.
Kayano: It's just your imagination.
Kayano's thoughts: I'm suprised he wasn't preturbed by Takeru-kun. Was Shin-chan always big-hearted like that?
Teacher: Do you know him?
**Pg. 156**
Teacher: The chairman's son?
Shin: Huh? No, no. I know the girl student. She's a very important girl to one's honoured teacher.
Guy: Ha ha ha! I was telling him to just let it go...and...wasn't that the uniform from Seijo!? Why is someone from there coming here?
**Pg. 157**
Takeru's friend: Takeru? He's not here right now.
Takeru's friend: Wow! You're cute!
Rumi: Oh...um...then, do you know where he is?
Takeru's friend: Huh? I can't hear you.
//kaaaaaaa// [Rumi turning red]
Rumi: Oh....
Takeru's friend: Hey! Don't make her cry, Ichirou!
Ichirou: It's not me!
Takeru's friend: Whaaat!?
//hi// [Rumi starts to cry]
Ichirou: Oh, look! Takeru-kun's back!
**Pg. 158**
Takeru's friend: Hey, Takeru! Do something about this!
Takeru: What?
**Pg. 159**
//do// [Rumi hugs Takeru]
Rumi: I wanted to see you, Takeru-san!
**Pg. 160**
Kayano's thoughts: What....
Takeru: HUH!?
//hiku// [Rumi crying]
Takeru: What's the deal with you!?
Kayano's thoughts: This girl...
Takeru's grandma's words: "Rumi Saionji"
Kayano's thoughts: It's Takeru-kun's marriage partner!
Takeru: Hey!? Calm down.
Kayano's thoughts: Why is she here!?
Rumi: I'm sorry...I was just happy that you agreed to the marriage proposal...so I came all the way here....
Kayano's thoughts: ....WHAT!?
**Pg. 162**
Kayano: I see...You agreed to it....
Kayano's thoughts: You'd rather have a cute princess than a loud, older girl...
Takeru: I didn't!
Rumi: But your grandmother told me that you agreed...
Kayano & Takeru's thoughts: That old hag!!
Rumi: U...um...
Takeru: Sorry, but, I don't have any interest in that. And I have no interest in you.
**Pg. 163**
Takeru: You're bothering me, so can you go home?
Kayano's thoughts: Uh...he's so harsh!
Takeru's friends: ...Monster.
//ta// [Rumi walks away]
Kayano: What...!? Oh, hey....!
**Pg. 164**
//bata bata// [Rumi runs off]
Takeru's friends: You monster! You're so mean! You made a girl cry!
Takeru: Shut up.
Kayano: Takeru-kun...
Takeru: What!? It's better than giving her hopes, right!?
Kayano: Yeah, but...
Kayano's thoughts: He's absolutely right, but...
**Pg. 165**
Kayano's thoughts: I just feel bad...
Haru: There goes your bad habit again. Just leave it alone! There's no end to you worrying about ever single girl that gets rejecting by Takeru-kun!
Kayano: Yeah...
Kayano's thoughts: But she looked so nice...
**Pg. 166**
Rumi's words: "I was happy that....I came all the way here"
Kayano's thoughts: I guess she really liked Takeru-kun...Hmmmm....How complicated....
Haru: What do you want to do? Do you want to go to karaoke?
Nachan: Yeah, since Kayano doesn't have to go to practice today either.
Man: Hey, hey, are you by yourself? Wow! You're from Seijo! What are you doing here?
Man: Ha ha ha! If you're not doing anything, let's play!
**Pg. 167**
Kayano's thoughts: Rumi-san!?
Rumi: Um...
Man: Okay? Then let's go! You're alone anyway, right?
Haru: Kayano?
Kayano's thoughts: Hey...
Man: You better watch out, he's a paedophile.
Man: Ha ha ha! Shut up!
Kayano: I'm here! Sorry I'm late!
//gui// [Kayano grabs Rumi's hand]
**Pg. 168**
Rumi: What?
Kayano: Run!
Man: What!? Wait!
Haru: Hey, Kayano!?
Kayano: Sorry, Haru & Nachan!
Haru: Kayano!?
**Pg. 169**
Kayano: I think we're safe now.
Rumi: ....Um...
Kayano: Oh! I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?
//pa// [Kayano pulls away]
Rumi: No...you're Takeru-san's...
**Pg. 170**
Rumi: Sister, right?
//doki// [Kayano's heart thumps]
Kayano: Yeah...in a way...
Kayano's thoughts: She knew...
Rumi: Um...
//su// [Rumi gives Kayano her handkerchief]
Kayano: Huh?
Rumi: Please use this. Your had...
//derooon// [Kayano's ice cream melting on her hand]
Kayano: Aaaaaah! My ice cream!! What a waste!
Rumi: I'm sorry...because of me...
Kayano's thoughts: Oh no!
Kayano: I'm fine! I'm totally fine! I'm going to borrow this, okay!? Thank you!
**Pg. 171**
Rumi: You're very nice...
//poro// [tear falls from Rumi's eyes]
Kayano's thoughts: Oh no!!
Kayano: Rumi-san!?
//hiku// [Rumi crying]
Kayano: Let's just go sit down somewhere! Okay? Calm down.
Rumi: I skipped school for the first time today.
Kayano: I see....
Kayano's thoughts: What am I going to do?
**Pg. 172**
Rumi: I was happy to hear about the marriage proposal and...I couldn't just sit around...but...that was the first time anyone's said something that mean to me...
Takeru's words: "You're bothering me, so can you go?"
Rumi: I believed that Takeru-san was a nice person...
**Pg. 173**
Kayano's thoughts: She's...like the old me...she's making her own assumptions and admiring someone. She's in love with love. She's being in love by herself.
Kayano: Takeru-kun is nice. He does have a harsh mouth and he says a lot, but that's because he's not running away from facing someone.
**Pg. 174**
Kayano: He has such a kindness that when he thinks about other people, he can be a "bad person" for them over and over.
Takeru's words: "Sorry, but, I don't have any interest in that. And I have no interest in you."
Kayano: Oh...but I'm sure this would be a shock for any girl...
Rumi: Strong person...
**Pg. 175**
Rumi: Takeru-san is a strong person.
Kayano's thoughts: What?
Rumi: There was noone like that around me, so...I didn't realize it...
Kayano's thoughts: Oh no...
//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]
Kayano: Um...Rumi-san?
Kayano's thoughts: To that blushed side-view of her face...
//suku// [Rumi gets up]
Rumi: I'm going to make a fresh start.
**Pg. 176**
Kayano's thoughts: HUH?
Kayano: No...um...
Rumi //peko// [bows]: Thank you for everything. I'll come back soon for the handkerchief!
Kayano's thoughts: Wait...wait a second! Fresh start? What do you mean "fresh start"? You're just troubling me with that cute smile of yours!

Takeru: I'm asking you what you're trying to do!? She misunderstood and came all the way to my school!
Takeru's grandma: Well, now, don't yell at me on the phone. I'm an old person now.
Takeru: Don't use that line whenever it's convenient for you!
Takeru's grandma: There's nothing I can do. She adored you so much. I felt bad dismissing the whole thing.
Takeru: That doesn't mean you should lie to her!
