Generally, people only see me as a young girl...
You are a young girl.
I...
Let's make time together soon.
What kind of situation is this?
From my snap towards Kagaya Sensei to Mochizuke's kabudon.
Note: Kabudon - slamming a hand on the wall behind someone - typically seen as romantic
Furthermore, Mochizuke said what?!
Why did Mochizuke say that about me?!
After 26 years,
why is it all coming at me at once?
Tsukishiro?
-Why?... -Tsukishiro?
-Tsukishiro! -Yes!
How is Kagaya kun's hand?
It seems to be just a light sprain.
I think he should take more care and use a computer instead.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, this is all my fault.
-Tsukishiro san! -Yes.
-Take a look at this. -Ah, okay.
I love Kagaya Sensei's work so much!
I adore Kagaya Sensei's book!
I was so extremely happy
to get Kagaya Sensei's autograph!
Well done.
-Thank you. -It's nothing.
I want to show Sensei.
I wonder if his hand's okay?
When will I see him next?
Tomorrow? Hurry, I want to see him.
Hurry? I want to see him? What am I thinking?
Scary! Scary! I'm his supervising editor, a work partner!
Keep your head together Kanokooooo!
Huh?
Eh? Huh?... Wait...
Thanks for all your work. It's Tsukishiro.
-I'm not going to make it in time... -Huh?
B O O K G I R L
Sensei? It's Tsukishiro!
Excuse me for disturbing you.
Sensei?
Eh?! Hey! Sensei! Sensei!
Sensei are you okay? Sensei?
Huh? Sensei, have you been writing by hand?
It's too hard to write on the computer.
How's your left hand?
Bad, I can't move it anymore, it hurts.
Have you been eating properly?
It's too bothersome.
This is totally out of character!
Pull yourself together! Come on!
Get up!
What about the kiss?
Sensei! Sensei! Sensei!
S... Someone! Someone's coming!
Ah... from the Ryokusen company?
Tsu... Tsu... Tsukishiro.
-Thanks for the hard work.
Kagaya kun, come on!
-Ow... -Get to the bedroom!
Come on! Stand up! Walk! -What? What?
What's your deadline?
Tomorrow.
He'll sleep for about 3 hours.
Okay.
Just a supervising editor… opening the door without permission,
opening the fridge without permission, putting groceries in?
Hey!
Hey... Tsukishiro san's watching.
I don't care.
What did you say to persuade him to do the autograph session?
Ah... I have a signed book from an old favourite writer,
I treasure that book. I told him all about it.
Eh... who's signature?
Subaru Tsuruga Sensei.
Really? I love Tsuruga Sensei too.
Erm... Ariake san, are you...
and Sensei...?
Ah... no no! There's nothing going on!
-We were in the same year at university. -Really?!
We were members of the literary circle.
Then, I was taken on as editor by the Sekibun company.
-I was responsible for him on and off for some time. -Ah, it's like that?
How's the editor-in-chief?
-Editor-in-chief? -Mishima san?
He took me on as an intern when I was a student.
Really?! He's fine! He works me hard everyday.
I see, he hasn't changed then.
I guess when Ariake san was a student...
she was even more of an adult than I am now.
When do people like this have their first experience?
-Tsukishiro san? -Yes.
Which of Kagaya kun's work do you like best?
I like... 'The Moment of the Spring Chill.'
Huh? It's not one of his published books?
That's right. It was in a literary magazine published by the newcomer awards.
Eh... you must really like books.
I do!
Tell me...
Why did Sensei stop
writing romance stories?
Eh?
I became aware of love through that story.
I'd like to read his love stories once again.
Because that work... is Kagaya kun's story.
It may be the only work which exposes his true self.
When Kagaya kun falls in love again, he may be able to change.
-Are you up already? -You should have slept longer.
No, I won't make it in time.
I'm so sorry.
Well... it is my fault
that he injured his hand.
I have also troubled the Sekibun company.
Ah.. we have about 3 volumes in hand so we're at an advantage.
We'll be fine.
The real problem is over there...
You can't do anything with that hand right now.
Sensei, let's delay the publication of the next volume.
No way.
-Let me explain it to the boss. -Not a chance in hell!
He won't listen to anyone.
-I will get it done in time. -But what if your hand gets worse?
-What if he dictates? -Huh?
If you did that, you could have it done by this evening.
Well, I have another appointment.
Kagaya kun, listen to what Tsukishiro san has to say,
and be obedient.
Mitsuki, thank you.
He used... her first name.
Ariake san may have said that they weren't lovers
or in any relationship like that,
But... it's clearly stronger than she's making out.
You don't have to worry about what Mitsuki said.
I can still write.
I will make the deadline in time.
What is this... recently, something in my chest has begun to hurt.
So then... It seems that I like Sensei.
-Sensei? -Yeah?
I'll be your hand.
Huh?
This evening, I'll be your hand.
So, what exactly do you mean by that?
I seriously meant what I said! So, you explain the details...
The woman was missing something,
as if she were a moon appearing in the day.
She licked her moist scarlet lips,
I slipped a slender white finger there.
-This is!... -Something wrong?
An explicit scene!
Your fingers have stopped.
This is just work... work.
Her hot, feverish voice grazed my ear.
Collecting myself, I gripped her head
and pressed it against the cold desk.
Hot!
Feel me.
I need you.
I want you to fill me,
to see inside me.
The scent of female excitement tempts me to cling to her.
I guide her as I slip a hand underneath her clothes.
As I feel the softness of her chest,
she pushed her body into me, to coax me.
I was like a crazed beast,
my toungue inched toward her ear.
To swallow her drowning sighs,
I pressed in to my beloved's lips.
Tsukishiro kun? Tsukishiro kun.
I'll go and make something to eat.
What's with that expression?
It's tasty.
We must look like a newlywed couple.
Do you want to get married?
Marriage?
Well... I wonder if being married would be a good image for me?
Love is...
Ariake san! Ariake san's really pretty isn't she?
She's beautiful and has a calm temperament. She's great at her job too...
Sensei, do you like her?
because I think she'd be a special girlfriend.
Thanks for the food.
Eh... ah... I'm sorry, I'm prying.
It's fine.
I'm sorry.
The relationship I have with Mitsuki is of no concern to you.
Sorry, I'm going to lie down for 30 minutes.
Was that... a rejection? What have I done?
What should I do?
That work is Kagaya kun's story.
Maybe that woman who appeared in Sensei's story?...
What on earth am I doing?
She realised, the deeper she became involved, the more difficult it would be to turn back.
Mochi? What's going on with you and Tsukishiro chan?
Well..
you're clearly shaken by it, what happened?
Well, nothing particularly happened, but..
But?
I said 'let's make time together soon.'
But I think, maybe just an invite to go for a drink.
Maybe you're a popular man who has never had to confess before,
but stop acting like a virgin.
Even students nowadays are smarter about love.
A man who doesn't do anything for himself is the most useless!
But confessing only forces your feelings on someone.
It will just cause Tsukishiro embarrassment.
I don't know what kind of words to use,
how she'd react.
I can't say why, but,
if it were a different girl, I'm sure I'd understand her better.
Somehow, there's just something about Tsukishiro san I don't get.
In those circumstances,
it's like coming face to face with a final-stage boss.
Hey, you don't have to embarrass her.
You should do more to shake things up.
You should do more of what you want to do.
If you question love, there is no right answer.
It's just love.
Thanks for everything Nanase.
Yes, hello.
Ah... so cute!
Sensei, which room are you in? Sensei?
Sensei, shall we carry on?
-Sen… -Tsukishiro kun.
Wh... wh... why are you undressed?
Because I thought I'd take a bath.
-Well, please hurry and get in! -I'll call you to wash my hair.
-Huh?! -Well, with this hand, I can't wash it by myself.
If you don't mind.
Ah... sorry about this.
By the way, why do I have to be blindfolded?
Is it so I can't see your amazing figure?
It's so you don't get soap in your eyes.
He's just making fun of me. He thinks I am nothing but a child,
worried and lost.
I've never properly seen a man's body before, but...
it was... somewhat....
erotic!
Ahh, that felt good, thank you.
Woah, Tsukishiro kun!
-Sorry. -No, it's my fault.
I was teasing you a bit too much.
Sorry.
It's because I'm always alone, I was just trying to have a little fun.
No more... Sensei's deceitful.
He purposely drew me in,
and toyed with my feelings,
and made me get excited… he's so deceitful.
Sorry.
I'm your editor and yet...
I'm no use. Absolutely useless.
I absolutely can't do it.
It's not me at all.
-Sensei… -Hm?
Why is it?
Does it amuse you, the curiosity that is a 26 year old woman who has never fallen in love?
Ariake san seems like
such an adult woman,
so grown up... is that what you see in her?
And the kiss… Sensei, for you
it might possibly be just one of hundreds.
But for me, it was my first.
I want to know you,
I want to feel you,
I want to kiss...
Do you think things like this are love?
Do you think this feeling
is love?
I'm sorry.
Tsukishiro kun?
Next Satuday, shall we go on a date?
-Huh? -You can decide where.
But...
I'm your supervising editor.
And so?
Please think about where you'd like to go.
I've never been on a date though.
I think you should try going on a date.
By dating, you may come to understand what love is.
Suddenly, I'm dating Sensei, what on earth am I thinking!

Kanoko. Isn't it exciting to think that someone
might be watching you.
I'm not in love like that, I'm just watching.
You understand right? Tsukishiro's feelings.
You need to get a little more serious.
Am I not good enough?
