I scolded the one who loves and
always stands beside me for being openly perverted.
I never clearly rejected his confession of love,
and we gradually grew closer...
and I cast him away from me when I saw fit.
I feel so guilty and embarrassed!
What the heck?! What is this doll?!
Why is it in my room?!
That's our Therapeutic Insatiable Beauty doll
by Hori-Healing Productions.
When you speak to her, she helps you feel better!
Right, little lady?
There, there.
That's creepy!
Return
What? Why?!
I am definitely going to leave this house.
I haven't heard those words in a while.
Because... I've decided to
work hard on my studies again.
That's why I ended it.
Kijima is probably angry with me.

There are so many things that I don't know
"It's all nonsense when I try to understand"
Your words are confusing
And your charms bring me to wonderland
When the chime rings I'll come see you
Put me in a trance

Ready go
The count starts with 100
There's a limit for how close I can get to you
(Ah Ah Ah)
Can a genuinely clear and simple heart
With a batting average of near-zero
Hit a homerun straight into my youthful heart?!

Kijima really won't talk to me.
I knew that he would. I'm the one who told him not to...
But he's basically acting like I don't even exist now.
Should I apologize?
How could I possibly?!
Horie.
Hey, did something happen with Kijima?
Huh?
He's in an amazingly bad mood today.
Uehara, leave her alone.
See?
Don't interfere with Miss Horie's studying.
"Miss" Horie?
What is up with you?
Nothing's up with me.
What? Yeah, right.
My heart hurts. It isn't beating
the same way that it always does.
Like I'm being alienated... or I'm despised...
It's that ache of uncertainty.
I have... to study...
Shall we start?
First, I'll have you do a short test that I made.
Right!
Begin!
This question...
It was also in the English vocabulary book
that I swapped with Kijima.
I wonder if he's using it.
I doubt it.
Focus!
Right!
What's going on? I'm acting stupid!
I shouldn't think about the guy I dumped.
So you dumped Kijima?
Wh-Wh-Why do you ask that?!
That's what you just said.
N-N-Not so much "dumped" as that
I've got studying to do and I can't when Kijima is around
Kijima
and Kijima comes to talk to me and
Kijima says weird things and Kijima smiles
and Kijima runs and Kijima moves and Kijima-
You'll receive one punishment
every time you say "Kijima."
Okay.
Why are you wearing that? What happened?
My punishment.
What kind of punishment is this?!
Well, Kijima... It's Kijima's...
Sir.
Oh, Yabe. Thank you for helping with Ao's studies.
It's nothing. I'm sure I'll be
waiting here for quite some time.
That one stung!
More importantly, Ao has been acting strange.
Return
She's in distress.
It seems the boy named Kijima is the source of this.
Do you know of him?
Yes...
Once they do it, I think their relations
as man and woman will be mostly settled.
That won't be happening.
I will continue monitoring Ao,
so please get back to your work.
I must notify the editorial department
of his estimated completion date.
Why are you here, Yabe?!
I was asked to serve as Ao's private tutor.
Therefore, you can't see Ao.
I know I'm getting in the way of Ao and her studies. But...
I want to see her.
I want to ask about how she feels one more time.
If she tells me no after that... Then I'll give up.
Well, then you should see her.
Huh? Are you sure?
Yes. Ao may be more likely to make
good progress on her studies if she feels better.
Make sure you listen closely to how she truly feels.
Since you seem completely
unable to focus today, we're finished.
Argh! Stupid Kijima!
It's Kijima's fault I can't study!
I even went as far as to turn him down but since
Kijima's acting the way he is he's on my mind!
He bothers me! He's causing me problems!
I...
I have to study, but...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Horie.
Wh... Why are you...
Yabe told me to do this.
He said I would understand how you truly feel.
I also heard that you want to live by yourself,
and that's why you're working so hard.
I...was about to ruin your life, wasn't I?
Horie, I love you, so I won't bother you anymore.
Thank you for everything.
Huh? It's over?
Does this mean I won't be with Kijima anymore?
So it's just like I want it to be?
Kijima told me to study because
he won't bother me anymore.
He smiles though he's being assertive,
and even when he's angry, he still gives in for my sake.
This is fine.
I am such scum, I can't believe myself...
P-Please, don't go.
Okay, I won't go.
Thank you very much.
Uh... What's going on?
Not only is my heart pounding...
This happiness has a real emotion behind it!
Whoa! Is he trying to make things real over here, too?
Wait a second! I'm really sweaty right now...
It's okay.
And I'm dressed weird!
You look cute no matter what you wear.
I'm extremely happy right now.
I want to touch you to make sure this is all real!
Tell me if you don't want me to.
Wh-What do I do?!
What's going to happen if I say it's okay?
Should I do it?! Is this alright?
Oh, b-but Kijima's a virgin,
so there's no way he'd do anything too crazy!
S-Sure.
He got right to it! And my stomach?!
I-I changed my mind! I'm too chubby!
What? You're not chubby at all.
H-Horie?
There's more of me than my
stomach to touch, you know!
Can I?
Eh? After all that? You want permission now?!
Isn't this normally done without aski-
Sorry.
I mean, if I don't explicitly ask you,
I won't be able to hold back.
W-Well to me, that's...
SIMPLE AND STURDY
I deeply apologize!
Oh no, it's completely fine.
I got some good material out of it.
I'm getting rid this right now!
No, don't do it!
I'm going to change.
I shouldn't have done that in your household!
Well, young people are chock-full of enthusiasm.
I am truly sorry!
I want to tell you something, Kijima.
Y-Yes, sir!
Ao is strong-willed, but she has
a hard time saying what's on her mind.
So, Kijima, you need to
show her how young people date.
And take things as far as you can, you got me?
Okay, I understand!
You really don't, do you?
Thanks for having me.
Sure.
That was really hectic, but now, Kijima and I...
Horie.
Yes?!
I'm really glad I came here today.
I've gotten way closer to you.
I guess we're always going to have
that sort of relationship, then.
I know. I'll buy some new underwear.
I need to get some silky panties.
Even your dad gave me some encouragement.
My dad? Never mind my dad.
No way, he adores you.
I'll make sure I don't disappoint you or your father.
R-Right.
So, would you...
I-Is this it?! Is this when it happens?!
Koudan University
Study with me?!
Y-Yes!
We're gonna date!
Huh?
What? Study? Why? Shouldn't you...
be asking me out now or something?
A student's main duty is to study,
and it's pathetic that I'm so self-absorbed
when you have a goal you're working towards.
What? But, you know-
I'm going to hold off
until you get into the school you want!
Ultimately, this is only...
making Kijima an additional goal in my dream life.
UNIVERSITY
LIVING ALONE
I'll hold off
until you get in!
I'm gonna pass every single one of those tests!
We can do this!
My mind is full and spilling over
It's 120% occupied by you
I hold fast to this pure and innocent feeling
I want to throw it , I want to bare it all
Before I realized it was love
Every single thing about you drew me in
I'm troubled because once again, just like that
I unwittingly show you an honest smile
Have you noticed?
I must rise up.
Nice and stiff!
I want to cheer you on.
