It's disgusting when you give me that look!! *bam* Mother: STOP IT! I'm sorry... I'm sorry... .P 79 Ku: ...Mommy... wasn't feeling good today, so she probably won't come. I'll go home by myself. *sound of heavy rain* .P 80 *wham* Man: It's your fault!! Is that how a mother acts?!! : If you had just gone to get her this never would have happened!! Mother: I'm sorry......! : I'm sorry......! I'm sorry......! Man: Five-years-old and her body is unclean... : She's already ruined for the rest of her life! : How will she be seen by the rest of the world.....? .P 81 Ku: [...

Creatures who make women miserable... * tremble tremble tremble* : should be killed. .... Should be killed... Should be... *slither* *slide* Girl: She's at a standstill-- that girl.

You look like you're still a child..... : How can you look into this cruel past? *clank* : Everyone sees this memory... this wound on her soul? It's wrong! This....! This...!! Girl: We must watch it!

Kureha...! .P 86 *whoosh* Knight: You're very optimistic, aren't you.....? You like playing hero? You don't seem to understand the type of class this is. *rustle* Knight: There is a Key... *clank* : Do you have it? Ma: I don't know anything about it! *rustle* Knight: Of course. .P 87 Knight: The "Key" is usually taken from someone's body. : If I cut open your belly and dig through your guts, I wonder- Will I find it? : ...But before I do that... : Ichijou Mashiro, are you a woman? *snicker snicker* : Or a cross-dresser? *snicker* .P 88 Girl: It suits him, doesn't it? The girl's uniform. He's cute. Ma: Shut up!! I'm a man!! Knight: Really? *snicker* : *snicker* How interesting. Let's strip you naked and see. *slash* : You're a vile bastard......! : You say it's a dream, so.... you think you can do whatever you like to anyone...!? .P 89 Girl: That's not quite right. He really is just vile by nature. : Being here bares your soul. You move according to your nature. You just have to endure it; you can't varnish the truth. : Like right now : you can't repress the tears. *rip* *crack* .P 90 Ma: ....Stop it... : Please, don't look further than this. *rustle* : PLEASE! *RIIIP* .P 91 *shatter* *shhhh* .P 92 *vhoosh* *pop* .P 93 *awake* *gasp gasp* *gasp* Nurse: Good morning, Mashiro-kun.

That nasty creep...!! : I want to see his face! Nurse: Deal your revenge on injustices that occur inside the dream inside the dream! The rule is that you can't bring them out into reality. : Remember it. Ma: They saw my body.....! And how he did it! How he... .P 95 Nurse: And how did he do it? If you lose in the dream, it is because your soul is weak. : Become stronger. : That's the reason for the class, after all. .P 96 Ku: Mashiro-kun! *bounce* Ma: ..... Kureha... Ku: How was it? Your first class. : Did you do alright? : After I disappeared I worried about how you were doing. If you had suddenly graduated, it would be lonely..... *ehehe* .P 97 Ma: ....... I was worried....... : About you.... : The class is often like that, where everyone can see it, so......... : Thank you.... for what you did. : I was really happy. : No one has ever helped me in the dream before... : I think that's what burst my final bead. .P 98 Ma: I'll see that you graduate. : I'll always be with you. I'll search for the key for your sake. Ku: Really? Ma: Really. : I'll protect you...! .P 99 .P 100 Ma: ["Is it alright for me to do this with a girl...?"] : [For a split second I wondered.

Ma: Ah! S-sorry... : ...Hey. Do you know who that girl is? The one in the far seat with the long, braided hair....? Girl2: Oh, Okui Midori-san? .P 104 Ma: Okui Midori...? Girl2: She's always sitting in that seat studying alone. Girl: But it's strange that she hasn't graduated yet. Girl2: Yes, exactly! Last year was her third year, so I was thinking that she should have graduated already... Girl: Last year I talked to her and she was great to hang with. Now she's so reserved; she's like a different person. Ma: [That hand,] : [and that suit of armor,] : [and that child.] .P 105 : [They must be students at this school.] : [I might be passing by them right now.] : [When those people saw my body--...] Ku: Mashiro-kun! : Lunch time <3 : Let's eat together! .P 106 Girl: Sou! Hey! Are you listening to me? : Sou... : Do you really love me? Sou: I don't love you. Girl: Then why did you do THAT with me!? Sou: I dated you so that we could do it. : ...I wondered if I could fall in love. I attempted to. : But as I thought, I didn't fall for you at all. .P 107 Girl: You make me so angry...! *reached her limit* Sou: I've had someone else on my mind. *SLAP* Board: ? month 21st Nitchoku: Ichijou Mashiro Shuuban: Mizuhashi Sou //Note: "Nitchoku" is "day duty", the student in charge of keeping records for the day, helping the homeroom teacher with duties, getting assignments from various teachers and making sure the other students have what they need for each class.
