Kayano: But I was so nervous! I didn't know what was going on anymore!

Haru: There's a limit!! Come out of there already!

Kayano: Waaa.

**Pg. 10**

Nachan:  He's the chairman's only son!! He has no problems to face and he's a super troublemaker. He's even called the "Prince of Attraction". Some of the girls are taken over by him and give him a tremendous amount of support The deep, maniac girls.

Kayano: Oh, okay! Good bye!

**Pg. 14**

**Pg. 15**

//gara// [Kayano opens the door]

Kayano: I'm home! Whoa!!

Kayano's Mom: D-A-T-E.

Kayano: Whaaaat!?  Kayano, you have to be in love too!! I'm going now! Lock the door, okay?

Kayano: What! Shutup! Don't leave your important only daughter all alone!!

**Pg. 16**

Kayano's thoughts: Geez. My delinquent Mom. Well, it's been 8 years since Dad passed away. I think it's fine...

Kayano: Ow, ow, ow. I'm in love too, alright?

//kuta// [Kayano tired]

Kayano: I'm tired...

Takeru //nikkori// [smiling]: Why?

Kayano //dokin dokin// [heart beating]: ....what?...why what?

Takeru //nippaa// [still smiling]: Oh no! Did you think that I would come this early and wait for you just so I can return this letter to you?

**Pg. 19**

Takeru: I've decided that you become my slave!

//hyuuu// [wind blowing]

Kayano's thoughts: What? Okay, this guy is dangerous!

Kayano: U, um, please stop with your bad jokes. Give it back.

Takeru: "Give it back"? You don't understand your situation, do you...? I'm telling you that I'm going to copy this and scatter it around everywhere from the rooftop. This letter to the basketball captain that you love so much!

**Pg. 20**

Kayano's thoughts: What is this guy!?

Takeru: I'm Takeru Edogawa, first-year in classroom 8. You can call me Takeru, Kayano-chin!

Kayano: Wait...Kayano-chin!?

//hyuuuu// [wind blowing]

**Pg. 21**

Takeru's friend: Takeru-kun, what is this, what is this?

Takeru's friend2: You picked up something again?

Takeru's friend3: She's really scared!! Ha ha ha!

Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh! Is this a zoo!!?

Takeru: That's Kayano-chin!! She'll listen to anything.

Kayano's thoughts:  I can't make eye-contact.

Takeru's friend: Please show me your underwear.

Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh!!

Takeru: No! Kayano-chin will only listen to me.

Takeru's friends: What!? You're so lucky! It's always Takeru-kun! Unfair!

//goro goro// [Takeru's friend rolling around on the ground]

Kayano's thoughts: Oh my gosh!!

**Pg. 22**

Kayano's thoughts:  Help me!!

Haru: That's so stupid!  What the hell is that?

Kayano: I don't understand what's going on...That Takeru guy is scary too...I don't think he'll give me back my letter either.

Nachan: I've heard before about that class. They put all the troublemakers into that one classroom. It's the lawless area. And the leader of that group is Takeru Edogawa. If there's a girl he's interested in, it doesn't even matter if she's from a different school, he'll bring her into the classroom and they all surround her until the girl breaks apart...

Kayano: Why is that me!? What's wrong with our school!?

**Pg. 23**

Haru: Because you're weak like that, that first-year asshole takes advantage of you! I'll get back that letter!!

Kayano: Ha...Haru-chan. You are my greatest friend!!

Haru: I'll tell him what's up!!

Takeru: ....What?

Kayano: Ah!!!

Takeru: I'm changing right now.

Haru: ...I...

Kayano {whispering}: Haru-chin! Tell him what's up!!

**Pg. 24**

Haru:  I will happily offer you her services, even though she's an inexperienced girl.

Kayano: Why!?

Nachan: Wow!  He's so cute!!

Kayano: Hey!

//zuru zuru// [Kayano getting dragged]

Kayano's thoughts: That's not what was supposed to happen!! Why do I have take first-year lessons!? And he's singing.

Sensei (Teacher): Hm? Why is there a girl in here? Who brought her in here!!?

Kayano {whispering}: Sensei! Help me!

Kayano's thoughts: Alright!  He realized that I was here!

**Pg. 25**

Takeru's friend: Sensei! It was Takeru-kun!! The chairman's stupid son!

Sensei //giku// [scared]: Y, you, Takeru-kun? I, I see. Give my regards to your father. Ha ha ha. Alright then. We'll start class.

Kayano's thoughts: Whaaaaaat!?

Takeru: It's no good. There's nothing that doesn't go my way.

Kayano //biku// [scared]: Wah!!

**Pg. 26**

Kayano: U, um...what is your purpose in all this?

Takeru: Nothing really. I just like making the girls worry.

Kayano's thoughts: You devil!!

//pata pata// [Kayano running]

//gasa gasa// [plastic bags juggling]

Kayano's thoughts: How long is this lifestyle going to go on...?

**Pg. 27**

//sa// [girl sticks out her foot]

//ga// [Kayano hits the girl's foot]

//zuteeen// [Kayano falls down]

Kayano: Ah! Ow, ow, ow. What...?

Girl: You! The one who's always around Takeru-sama lately!

Kayano: Huh?

Kayano's thoughts: Takeru-sama!?

Girl: You don't know? You're just a toy to Takeru-sama. He'll get over you quickly. Don't go near Takeru-sama!!

Kayano's thoughts: Wait a second...why do I have to deal with this...?

**Pg. 28**

Kayano's thoughts: What the hell!?

Kayano: I'm not doing this because I want to! If I could just get my letter back, I wouldn't...

Girl: ...letter?

Kamijou: Hey! What are you doing!? Saitou!?

Kayano's thoughts: Kamijou-kun!!

Kamijou: Are you okay? What are those guys?

//suta suta// [girls walk away]

Kayano: I'm fine. Ha ha ha. I'm okay. Aaaah! How embarassing!

**Pg. 29**

Kamijou: ...I just heard from the guys in class that the first years are making you do things.

Kayano: No, it's not like that. There's a reason for all this...um...yeah.

Kamijou: I don't know what the reasoning is, but...if you don't want to do something, you should tell them straight forward.

Kayano's thoughts: Is he...worried about me?

//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]

**Pg. 30**

Kayano: Yeah...thank you...

Kayano's thoughts: ...That's right. I'm going to confess my love to Kamijou-kun for sure this time. If I just tell him how I feel, there's nothing I should be afraid of anymore...

//dokin dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]

**Pg. 31**

Kayano's thoughts: He takes advantage of me because I'm afraid.

Takeru: You're going to confess your love...? To that captain? You can do that?

Kayano: Of course I can do it! So it won't work if you try to scare anymore! I won't do whatever you say!!

Takeru: I see...it's okay, huh...?

Kayano's thoughts: I'm not going to back out here!!

Kayano: Go ahead! Do whatever you want!

**Pg. 32**

//suta suta// [Kayano walks out]

//ton// [Kayano bumps into the girl that bullied her earlier, but doesn't notice]

//chiro// [Girl glances at Kayano]

Takeru's friend: Oh, Rika-chan!

Rika: Takeru-sama, I baked some cookies! Please eat them.

Takeru:  I don't want it. I told you to stop calling me that!

Takeru's friend: Hm? Are you in a bad mood?

Takeru: ...No.

Takeru's friends: Oh no! Takeru's in a bad mood!

**Pg. 33**

Kayano's thoughts: I'm definitely going to confess my love.

Kayano: Oh!

//dokin// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Kamijou: Oh, morning.

Kayano: M, morning! You don't have practice this morning?

Kamijou: Yeah, the volleyball team has a match soon, so they're using the gym right now.

Kayano: I see. That's good that you can take it easy now.

Kayano's thoughts: Wow! This is great! I'm having a normal conversation with Kamijou-kun!!

Kayano: U, um...Kamijou-kun, about lunch today...

Kamijou: Yeah?

//gara// [Kamijou slides open the classroom door]

**Pg. 34**

Classmates: The 2 that we were just talking about are here together! You're so lucky, Kamijou-kun! You're so popular with the girls! Kamijou! Saitou says that she likes you the most when you're playing basketball!

Kayano's thoughts: Huh...? What!?

//hyuuu// [whistling]

//da da// [Kayano runs to the chalkboard]

//bari// [Kayano tears down the letter]

Kayano's thoughts: My letter...

**Pg. 35**

Kayano's thoughts: Oh no. What am I going to do?

Classmates: Kamijou! Go out with her!

Kamijou: Shutup! Stop doing things like you're in elementary school! It's annoying!

//zukin// [Kayano hurt]

Kamijou: Sa, Saitou!

**Pg. 36**

//don// [Kayano bumps into Haru]

Haru: Oh! Kayano!?

Kamijou: Saitou!

Haru: Kamijou!? Huh!? What!? What's going on?

Kayano's thoughts: How awful...why...? Why does he have to go this far!?

Takeru's words: "There's nothing that doesn't go my way"

Kayano's thoughts: ...I'm never going to forgive him! Never!

//gara// [Kayano slides open the door]

**Pg. 37**

//pan// [Kayano slaps Takeru]

**Pg. 38**

//shiiin// [silence]

Takeru: ...That hurt! What....

Kayano: Will you quit all this already!? You're the one who pinned this up on the chalkboard, right!?

//basa// [Kayano throws down the letter]

Kayano: Are you that excited to see me troubled!?

**Pg. 39**

Kayano: You're crazy! You're missing something in your head!

Kamijou's words: "It's annoying!"

Kayano: You've never loved anyone, so you can do things like this! My feelings are not going to become yours!!

**Pg. 40**

Takeru: ...is that all you want to say?

Kayano's thoughts: ...What!?

**Pg. 41**

Takeru: If there's something that I really want, I will get it no matter what. You better be prepared.

//gata// [Kayano backs away]

//da// [Kayano takes off]

Kayano's thoughts: What's with him...?

**Pg. 42**

Kayano's thoughts: He's really dangerous.

Kamijou: Saitou!

Kayano: Kamijou-kun!

Kamijou's words: "It's annoying!"

**Pg. 43**

Kayano: I'm sorry that I got you all into this too...sorry for bothering you...really...

//poro// [tear falls from Kayano's eyes]

Kayano: Oh no...I'm sorry...how embarassing...

//gasa goso// [Kamijou searching his pockets]

//su// [Kamijou hands Kayano his handkerchief]

Kamijou: I'm...not bothered by all this.

**Pg. 44**

Kayano: ...What?

//kiiin koon// [school bell rings]

Kamijou: Oh! C, class is going to start! Let's go!! H, hurry.

Kayano's thougths: Whaaaaaat!?

Kayano: Ka, Kamijou-kun, that's not the way to the classroom...

Kayano's thoughts:  No...way...

//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]

Haru: What!? That's great, Kayano!

**Pg. 45**

Haru: It seems like it's going to go good.

Kayano: I don't know yet. He might've just said that because I was crying.

Haru: I'm so glad. When I heard that your love letter was displayed, I was wondering what would happen.

Kayano: ...That...Takeru guy told me to "be prepared"....

Haru: That's probably just all talk! There's nothing he has over you anymore, so he can't do anything. Plus, you'll never see him around!! He's in a different grade too.

**Pg. 46**

Kayano: ....Yeah...you're right!

Kayano's thoughts: I don't have to worry about anything.

Kayano: I'm home!

//pan pan// [crackers go off]

Kayano: Ah! What!?

Kayano's mom: Kayano-chan, welcome home!

Kayano: Uh!! Mom....

**Pg. 47**

Kayano: ...What's all this...? What's with that hat...?

Kayano's mom: Look!!

Kayano: Where did you get that!? Did you steal it!?

Kayano's mom: You're so silly. Of course not. I finally got proposed to.

Kayano: P...Proposed!!?

**Pg. 48**

Kayano's thoughts: Is there going to be a party? What's with all this sudden excitement!? If she accepted the ring that means...she's going to remarry!?

Kayano's mom: I told you that I'm dating someone, right? He's one of our customers at my part-time job (at the lunch shop). He's divorced, but he's a very sincere and nice person. You'll support me, right Kayano?

Kayano: ...What?...This is all just too sudden and I haven't even met him yet....

Kayano's thoughts: He's going to be my father...

Kayano's mom: Oh, it's someone you know.

**Pg. 49**

Kayano: Huh?

Kayano's mom: Because he's the chairman of your school.

//pin poon// [door bell rings]

Kayano's mom: I'm coming!

Kayano's thoughts: ...Chairman...? Hm? What did he look like? I can't remember his face...a chairman is a pretty elite person...wow, Mom...WAIT!

**Pg. 50**

Nachan's words: "He's the chairman's only son"

Kayano: WHAT?

//saaaaa// [Kayano turns pale]

//dotatata// [Kayano running]

Kayano: W, wait Mom!?

Kayano's thoughts: No way!!

Kayano's mom: Kayano, this is the son of my fiance, Takeru Edogawa.

**Pg. 51**

Kayano's thoughts: What is that!?

Kayano: What...

Kayano's mom: It's your future brother.

Takeru: Hi Oneichan (sister)!

Kayano's thoughts: If this is a dream, please wake me...

*******Part 2*******

**Pg. 55**

Kayano's thoughts: The end of the century's disasterous invasion. The devil swooping down from high in the sky.

Takeru's words: "You better be prepared"

**Pg. 56**

Haru: B, brother!?

Nachan: That Takeru Edogawa!!?

Kayano: Ha...ha ha ha...My life was pretty short...

Haru: Kayano!? You better explain!!

Kayano: What did I do?

Kayano's thoughts: Yes, this is reality. My mom's fiancee is the chairman of the school and...

**Pg. 57**

Kayano's thoughts: The chairman's only son is the devil who put up my letter on the chalkboard.

Kayano's mom: Takeru-kun is always eating by himself because his father's always working, so I invited him to the house today.

Kayano's thoughts: Meaning he's going to be my brother. This can't be happening.

Kayano: Wait a second!! I haven't heard any of this!!!

**Pg. 58**

Kayano: Why do you decide all this on your own!? You're always so selfish, Mom. I haven't even said that I agree to you remarrying yet! Anyway, do you know what kind of a person that Takeru kid is!? Don't eat the sushi!!

//jiwari// [Kayano's mom tears up]

Kayano: M...mom?

**Pg. 59**

Kayano's mom: You were...always Daddy's little girl, so...you're disdaining me, aren't you?...Because I'm in love with someone other than your father...

Kayano: No...wait...Mom....?

//uwaaaan// [Kayano's mom wailing]

Kayano's mom: You think I'm a betrayer, don't you!!?

Kayano: I don't think that...Mom. Calm down.

//uwaaaaan// [Kayano's mom crying even more]

//gashyan gashya// [Kayano' mom hitting everything on the table]

Kayano's thoughts: I can't handle my Mom...

Takeru: It's alright, Tokiko-san. Oneichan probably doesn't like me.

**Pg. 60**

Kayano's thoughts: "Tokiko-san"!? "Oneichan"!?

Kayano's mom: No, Takeru-kun! I'm the one who's wrong.

Takeru: I thought I'd finally have a family...

Kayano's mom: Takeru-kun, you are my son!

Takeru: I'm just happy with your feelings.

Kayano's thoughts: What is this...? I'm the bad one? What is going on!?

Kayano's mom: I'm sorry! Kayano's not bad!

**Pg. 61**

Haru: So, you accepted it with that....

Nachan: Is that just a coincidence?

Kayano: I don't know. That Takeru kid is probably using some kind of black magic. And then he's going to throw me down into hell...

Haru: Pull yourself together, Kayano!!

Kayano: Ha ha ha...

Nachan: Yeah! You have...over there!!

//pishi// [Nachan pointing]

Nachan: You have an angel on your side!

Kamijou: Hey!

Classmates: Hey Kamijou!

**Pg. 62**

Kayano's thoughts: Your countenance today is very lovely....

Haru: Will you stop that!

Kayano's thoughts: Oh yeah!!

Kayano: U, um, Kamijou-kun.

Kamijou: Yes?

Kayano: I washed the handkerchief you let me borrow yesterday...so...

Kamijou: Oh!! Okay. You could've gave it back to me anytime.

**Pg. 63**

Kayano's thoughts: Kamijou-kun already knows my feelings...

//dokin dokin// [Kayano's heart beating]

Kayano: Thank you...really...

Kayano's thoughts: And...he said that it "wasn't a bother". Which means...

Kamijou: Oh no, I didn't do anything that big...

Kayano's thoughts: That means...

Kayano: U...UM!!

//biku// [Kamijou jumps]

//dosa// [books drop]

Kayano: Oh, I'm sorry...I talked too loudly all of sudden.

Kayano's thoughts: I'm so stupid!

Kamijou: It's alright, it's alright. I was holding too much.

**Pg. 64**

Kayano's thoughts: That means...

//ton// [Kamijou and Kayano's hands touch each other]

//dokin// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Kayano: Oh...

Kayano's thoughts: I can keep on loving you!?

//kucha kucha kucha// [Takeru chewing his gum]

**Pg. 65**

Kayano: AAAAHHHHH!! Ta, Ta, Ta, Takeru-kun!!

Kamijou: U...uu...

Kayano's thoughts: Why is he here!?

Takeru: Itchy, itchy.

//boori boori// [Takeru scratching his cheek]

Kayano: The first-year's classes are over there, right!?

Kamijou: Y...you know him?

Kayano: Huh!? No, um!

Kayano's thoughts: I have to say something before he misunderstands!

Kayano: He's my little brother!! My mother's going to remarry and...he's the fiancee's son and so...

**Pg. 66**

Kamijou: I, I see...Hi, I'm Yuuichi Kamijou.

Kayano: Ka, Kamijou-kun!

//su// [Kamijou extends his hand out]

Kayano's thoughts: He's going to bite you!!

//kucha kucha// [Takeru chewing his gum]

Kamijou: U...um...

Kayano's thoughts: Kamijou-kun is troubled!

//bakun bakun// [Kayano's heart beating loudly]

Takeru //nyaha// [smiles]: Yuu-chan.

**Pg. 67**

Kamijou //doki doki// [heart beating]: Ha...ha ha. Yes?

Kamijou's thoughts: He's talking to me, right...?

Kayano's thoughts: "Yuu-chan"!?

Takeru: I heard you were good in basketball. And that you have a good sense of responsibility and all your team members look up to you.

Kamijou: Huh?

//kaaaa// [Kamijou turning red]

Takeru: You're the main captain.

Kamijou: N, no...I'm not that...Ha ha ha.

Kayano's thoughts: What is this person up to!!?

Kayano: Ka, Kamijou-kun, don't get tricked by him!

Kamijou: Huh? Tricked? It's a lie?

Takeru: I hear a lot about you from from my sister.

**Pg. 68**

Kayano's thoughts: Uh...

Kayano: Th...that's right!! It's the truth!! Ha ha ha.

Takeru: I also admire you and want to watch you play basketball. Would that be okay?

Kayano's thoughts: Whaaaaat!? Hey, hey, hey.

Kamijou: Sure. You can watch anytime.

Kayano's thougths: Kamijou-kuuun!!

Takeru: Then, today after school.

Kamijou: Alright.

**Pg. 69**

Kayano's thoughts: Kamijou-kun is definitely being tricked!!

Kamijou: He's kind of a cute little brother.

Kayano: Isn't he? Ha ha ha.

Kayano's thoughts: Aaaah, his smiling face...

Kayano: What is your deal getting near Kamijou-kun too!?

**Pg. 70**

Takeru: Any way I look at it, there's nothing wrong with me, the basketball player, wanting to play basketball. It's as natural as the water running.

Kayano's thoughts: How!? I can only think that you're up to something!!

Takeru's friend {whispering}: Kayano-chin, Kayano-chin. Why are you alive?

Kayano: What!?

Takeru's friend {whispering}: Why are you okay after hitting Takeru-kun?

Takeru's friend 2 {whispering}: Yeah, you should have at least 2 or 3 of your bones broken by now. He usually returns 1000 times worse.

**Pg. 71**

Kayano's thoughts: I see...so this is his revenge...

//chiro// [Kayano glances at Takeru]

//niya// [Takeru smiles]

Takeru: Whoever wants to play basketball, go to the gym after school!

Takeru's friends: Yes sir! I'm going to play basketball!

Kayano: This isn't good, this isn't good!

Kayano's thoughts: If this goes on, Kamijou-kun will be under the devil's had too!!!

//gashi// [Kayano grabs Kamijou's arm]

Kamijou: Huh?

**Pg. 72**

Kayano: Can I watch you play basketball today too?

Kamijou: Sa...Saitou. Where'd you come from? That's fine, but...it's all guys.

Kayano: Oh! That's right!! Uhhh...If I was born a guy!

Kamijou: Anyway, can I use this bathroom first?

Kayano: Ah!! Sorry...

Kayano's thoughts: I have to protect Kamijou-kun however I can!!

//damu damu// [basketball bouncing]

**Pg. 73**

Takeru: Don't hurt yourself!

Kayano: Will you stop them!!!

Takeru: I want to play with the one I admire.

//gashi// [Takeru grabs Kamijou's arm]

Kamijou: Oh, really? Then...a little.

Kamijou: Don't hold his arm!

Kayano's thoughts: I feel like everything's going his way.

//tan// [ball thrown in air]

Kayano's thoughts: ....What!?

**Pg. 74**

Kayano's thoughts: He's good!! No way! He really plays basketball!?

Kayano: He's high!!

Team Member: That's Takeru Edogawa. The chairman's son.

Team Member2: What!? From Nishi Junior High!?

Team Member: Yeah, yeah. He's the one who hit the basketball coach and got kicked out. He's been doing whatever he likes and causing trouble ever since junior high. Everybody that's aroud him is for his money and power.

Kayano's thoughts: They're talking really bad about him...

**Pg. 75**

Takeru's friend: You're wrong. Takeru-kun is not that kind of person.

Kayano's thoughts: When did he get there?

Takeru's friend: In junior high, there was a fat-ass on the basketball team and he was slow and caused everyone trouble. He was on the team for 2 years, but never got to touch the ball. One day, the coach told him "You're no good just by being here" and...Takeru heard that and hit the coach.

**Pg. 76**

Takeru's friend: Takeru eventually got kicked out. It was about me and he got mad like it was about himself.

Kayano: What...?

Takeru's friend: Yup. That fat-ass was me...The people in Classroom 8 are, no doubt, a bunch of weird people, but it's not because Takeru-kun's the chairman's son. Everybody loves Takeru-kun and that's why they're with him.

**Pg. 77**

Kayano's thoughts: I would've never thought that...Wow...he's already friends with the basketball team...

//dokin// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Kamijou: You're good, Takeru-kun!! Did you play basketball?

Takeru: I played a little in junior high.

Kamijou: You have sense. You should join the basketball team. You're full of power.

Kayano's thoughts: What am I doing here...? I'm not doing anything.

Teammates: Yeah, you should!!

Takeru: Hmmmm...let me see...

Kayano's thoughts: And I didn't even watch Kamijou-kun play basketball.

Takeru: If you make her the manager!!

Kayano's thoughts: What!?

**Pg. 78**

Kayano's thoughts: He's doing everything his way again!! What are you saying all of a sudden!?

//ni// [Takeru smiles]

Kamijou: We were just troubled by our manager quitting. I'd be thankful if you became our manager.

Kayano: What....?

Kamijou: I'm not going to pressure you to do it since it's a pretty hard job.

Kayano:  If you're alright with me....

Takeru: Then it's done!

//boori boori// [Takeru scratching]

Takeru: Itchy, itchy.

Kamijou's thoughts: Why is he in the middle...?

Kayano's thoughts: This guy...

**Pg. 79**

Kayano's thoughts: And the days to come will be like...

{Kayano imagining herself talking to Kamijou as a couple}

Kayano's thoughts: ...that's not going to happen....

Takeru: Manager, water!

Kayano's thoughts: As long as he's here.

Kayano:  Okay.

Takeru: Towel.

Kayano: Okay, okay.

Takeru: Juice.

Kayano: Okay, okay, okay.

Takeru: Can you massage my shoulders?

Kayano: Why do I have to do that!?

**Pg. 80**

Takeru: Yuu-chan! This manager won't work at all!

Kayano: I'll massage you until your bones break!

Kayano's thoughts: What's with him!? I'm not going forward at all! I always have to do things like this...

Kayano: H...heavy...

Kayano's thoughts: I'm a manager, but all I do is tend to Takeru-kun's needs...I can't even talk to Kamijou-kun.

//nui// [Rika and girls come out from the corner]

Kayano: Uh!! WAH!!

**Pg. 81**

Kayano's thoughts: It's Takeru-kun's fans...

Kayano: C...can I help you?

//doki doki// [Kayano's heart thumping]

Rika: What's going on?

Kayano: ....What?

Rika: I got the letter back for you, so why are you still around Takeru-sama?

Kayano's thoughts: What...?

//doki// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Kayano: Letter...meaning...

Rika: The love letter that you wrote to the basketball captain.

**Pg. 82**

Girl: Yeah! We even put it up on the chalkboard so you can go out with him! Why are you still near Takeru-sama!?

Kayano's thoughts: Wait a second. What...? Then...

Girls: Say something! Hey!

Kayano's thoughts: That means Takeru-kun had nothing to do with it...?

Kayano's words: "You're the one who put it up on the chalkboard, right!?" "You're crazy! You're missing something in your head!"

Kayano's thoughts: Oh no...I jumped to conclusions and said some horrible things...and I even hit him...

//don// [Girls push Kayano]

Girls: Hey, are you listening!?

Man: Hey, hey, don't pick on weak people.

**Pg. 83**

Man: Your beauty is spoiled. Ha ha ha.

Girls: You have nothing to do with this, old man.

Man: Call me "Oji-sama"!! Go ahead, say it! That way it'll be more fun!!

Girls: Hey...This old man's dangerous! Let's go!!

//bata bata// [Girls take off]

Kayano's thoughts: I wonder if he's the janitor...

Kayano //peko// [bows]: U, um, thank you.

//jiiii// [Man stares at Kayano]

Kayano: ....U...um....?  Huh?

//puru puru// [Man shaking]

**Pg. 84**

Man: You're so cute!!

//gyuuuu// [Man hugs Kayano]

Kayano: AHHHHHH!!!!

Kayano's thoughts: What is this person!? Is he a degenerate!? Somebody...help!!

//doko// [basketball hits back of Man]

Man: Ow!!

//koro// [ball rolls]

Takeru: What are you doing, old man!?

**Pg. 85**

Kayano's thoughts: Takeru-kun!!

Man: Takeru!!

Kayano: Huh!?

Man: I wanted to see you, Takeru!

Takeru: What, old man!? Don't touch me!!

Man: What? What? You're so cold. I just came back from the business trip.

Kayano's thoughts: Is he Takeru-kun's...

Kayano: Father!?

Takeru's dad: F...F...Father...You're already calling me that...

//gaba// [Takeru's dad hugs Kayano]

Kayano: AHHHH!!

//doko// [basketball hits back of Takeru's dad]

Takeru's dad: Ow!

Takeru: You're close to committing a crime, old man!

**Pg. 86**

Takeru's dad: But, but she looks just like Tokiko-san.

Kayano's thoughts: He's going to be my father!?

Takeru: She doesn't like it!!

Takeru's dad: What? You were happy when I told you that you'd be getting a sister too.

Takeru: Sh, shutup, old man!! Will you just go somewhere!

Kayano's thoughts: What...!? Is that true?

//dokin// [Kayano's heart thumps]

Takeru's dad: He's been asking about you for awhile like where your class is at and what kind of girl you are...

//doko// [basketball hits back of Takeru's dad]

Takeru's dad: Ow!

Takeru: I'm begging you! Go away!!

Kayano's thoughts: No way...
