How're the injuries?
I don't have anything snazzy like a handkerchief. Cool off with this.
It isn't anything serious.
All right.
I still can't believe it. I mean, I'm so confused I don't know what to say...
Sorry...
It's also my fault that you got mixed up with delinquents.
That doesn't matter! I'm the one who stuck his nose into this anyway...
But, your mother is terribly worried about you.
She's tried so many shady faith-healers. It might seem strange...
But I understand what makes her want to cling to slim hopes.
You should just tell her that you're... I guess that you're doing well like this.
If you tell her the situation, some hint towards a solution might be found.
They make progress every day in medicine... maybe science in this case?
We might not be aware of it, but there could be other cases just like Midori's!
I'm sorry.
Would you mind keeping this quiet for a while?
I think Midori knows full well how worried people are.
Besides, it ain't her fault that things got this way.
Ain't she the one who's the most confused by all this?
Spirits of the earth...
Liberate this girl from the realm of sleep...
How did it go?
It would seem that this girl's spirit refuses to return.
No...
Please! Find some way to awaken Midori!
I beg you!
Even if I employed the power of the spirits to awaken her, it'd be the same.
All we can do is wait quietly until she someday wakes up on her own.
Midori...
H-Huh?
Hey.
What're you doing?
T-This winter looks like it'll be intense, so...
I thought I'd hand knit a muffler for you.
Take a look! The word "love" is the highlight...
Leave the highlight out once in a while.
But you know, it's a dream of mine to have a hand knitted muffler.
You mean it?
Yeah!
Everyone says handmade stuff is uncool, or it's awful like they have some problem.
But in my opinion they're just stuck up about it, you know?
Right, right.
What's so bad about something made by my beloved girlfriend thinking of me...
...putting love and affection in each stitch?
I'd say "It's cold, come get close..."
The two of us would cuddle up together, and wrap one muffler around us both.
I wonder if anyone'll knit one for me!
I'm doing it right now!
How could we wear a muffler together with you as my right hand?
I'll always just be a right hand in your eyes.
Look...
Things can't stay like this forever, can they?
Christmas is coming up soon. What do we do?
Entrance exams are next year, so there's no time for that.
Why don't we have another pair-up party? Right, Taka?
I'd rather not...
What about that guy you met at the last party?
For real! You two had such a good vibe together!
He wasn't my type at all.
He wasn't?
B-Besides, getting to know a guy at one of those things seems kind of weird.
Hmm...
Could it be you're interested in someone?
Eh? N-No, not at all!
T-This isn't...
No way! You've been hand knitting a muffler!
It's long! This just screams for two people to wear it!
La, la, la, la...
Cut it out!
I see, I see.
Serious-to-a-fault Taka finally has a boyfriend.
Drinks are on us tonight. Whatever you want, have a blast!
Don't they have free refills?
We'll toast to Taka's happiness... Cheers!
That's not what it means.
Huh?
This love... Is unrequited...
I try all sorts of things, but my plans always fall apart.
Also, I guess I'm fainthearted...
Do you think maybe you're afraid to fall in love?
Huh?
You're pretty tough, but you have a timid side.
You're also headstrong and have a lot of pride.
Done! Seiji, I'm finished!
A lot of things have happened since I became Seiji's right hand.
The real Seiji I didn't know until now...
His kindness... His shy side...
And while he doesn't realize it, he's surprisingly popular.
That's right, we've gone lots of places together.
We even went to a hot spring with his sister...
But, I've caused everyone lots of problems and made them worry so much.
It ain't Midori's fault that things got this way.
Ain't she the one who's the most confused by all this?
Seiji said it's not my fault, but is that really true?
Maybe it is my fault?
Because I don't want to be apart from him...
Things can't stay like this forever, can they?
Are things really even the way I want them?
Seiji...
Hmm, warm... She's already done with the muffler.
You'll hurt yourself if you keep pushing yourself. Enough alre...
Midori?
What the hell?
M-Midori...
Hey, Midori!
Midori?
Midori, where'd you go?
What am I so worked up over? I'm being an idiot.
My right hand's just back to normal. That's a good thing.
She must be happy she's back to her own body, too.
She has to be.
That's right, I should stop worrying about Midori, of all things...
Here, young Miss, let's make sure your body is clean.
Miss...
Tears won't do, now, will they? I promised you I wouldn't cry!
I believe you will be cured!
M-Ma'am...
Ma'am!
Midori! Midori?
Midori!
Mom?
Midori!
Miss...
What happened, Mom?
Sawamura, you're late.
Oh, your right hand's healed.
What's wrong?
Shut up! What's wrong?
What was that? Probably Sawamura.
I thought he'd shaped up lately. I guess a delinquent's a delinquent.
Sawamura?
This sure is rare, you skipping class!
It hasn't happened in a while, has it?
I wish people would just shut up!
What I do is up to me, got it?
Sawamura!
"Mad Dog Sawamura" is back!
That's the man I know!
Stop it, moron!
The kind you is fine too, but it's the badass you that's cool!
I love you! People are watching!
Uh, Sawamura?
That noise maker's gone...
Now I can look at all the porn I want!
It's been a long time, Milk!
Do you have any idea how long I've had to suppress my boiling youthful energy?
One... two... three.
Yeah!
Milk jackpot! Milk jackpot! Milk jackpot!
It's not good for your health to watch them all at once.
Can it! I'm just gettin' started!
I was worried about him, too. Forget it, I'm done with him!
Do you think maybe you're afraid to fall in love?
Maybe I'm just scared like they said after all...
I say my timing's bad, but that's nothing more than a simple excuse.
I honestly just have no courage...
So at this rate, nothing will change.
That's my Sawamura!
You even mean business when you stock up on porn!
Sawamura?
What's the matter?
Nothin'.
We thought we'd pay you back for yesterday.
People feel guilty until they give back something they borrowed.
That's awful sincere of you.
Fine, I could stand to work out some frustration.
Sawamura, there's no way to win against this many of them.
Run for it, Miya.
Huh? What are you saying? If you're fighting then so am I!
Dumbass, who said I was worried about you?
I'm tellin' you to protect the loot I just blew my money on! Hurry and go!
O-Okay. I'll bring back help soon!
Don't bother...
One Demon Right Hand is enough to take these clowns.
I'm gonna rumble to my heart's content!
Owww...
Hey! Watch where you're...
Aren't you Sawamura's junior...
Huh? What's all this?
This is Sawamura's... That's right!
There's no time! Sawamura, Sawamura's in...
Repulsive jerk!
Why me?
Ow...
Hmph...
Here.
Ayase...
I heard from... Miyahara, was it?
Don't worry. I'd get it dirty...
Why are you being so reckless, Sawamura?
I'm not.
I thought you'd started coming to school every day, and not fighting anymore.
Everyone in class did.
Could you stop talking like you know everything?
It's none of your business.
It's not none of my business!
I want to know...
What you're thinking... What's bothering you...
I want to know...
I...
I love you!
Sawamura!
Ayase...
I have ever since you saved me from those delinquents...
