# Comments for '10101' @7 I met Haruka for the first time in this flower garden. @8 {Kazushi}\n"Is this where you wanted to come?" @9 I t was unexpected. I thought she would wanted to go to the down town or the beach. @13 {Haruka}\n"This is my most memorable place for me in this island." @14 She sits down as she tells me that with a smile.\nI sat down next to her. @15 {Kazushi}\n"I see......" @16 My voice turned over.\nI wouldn't blame myself.\nWe are having a date. @17 Oh no, I can feel I'm getting nervous. @18 {Kazushi}\n"Calm down......calm down......" @19 This may be a good time to remember what Pierre said. @25 {Pierre}\n"Girls' hearts live in between their legs.\nYou need to be patient to get there." @28 {Pierre}\n"Girls' hearts live in between their legs!!\nYou whisper in their ears saying "I wanna touch your heart"and sneak in your hands between their legs." @32 Thank you Pierre. @33 {Kazushi}\n"I wanna touch your heart!" @34 I sneak in my hand between Haruka's legs. @37 {Haruka}\n"Kya!?" @41 {Kazushi}\n"Ouch!!" @42 Before my hand reached the goal,\nshe gave me a good counter punch. @45 {Haruka}\n"Sorry!!\nMy body reacted to a danger......" @46 {Kazushi}\n"No. I'm sorry, too." @47 I knew it was not a good idea.\nI should be patient. @50 {Haruka}\n"Oh, you perhaps thought about having a wrestling match for fun?" @51 {Kazushi}\n"What? Umm......" @52 I think it's better leave it that way. @55 {Haruka}\n"I knew it will be boring just to talk.\nShould we go fishing or hunting?" @56 {Kazushi}\n"Well, it doesn't have to be that wild." @59 {Haruka}\n"Yeah?\nI still don't know much about boys and it worries me." @60 {Kazushi}\n"Really?\nYou seem to know about us already." @61 I feel she's with us right from the beginning. @64 {Haruka}\n"Tell me about your family." @65 Her eyes got delighted.\nThere is not much in my family she should get delighted of. @66 {Kazushi}\n"My family is a very ordinary one.\nWe live in a small house.\nMy grand pa built it." @69 {Haruka}\n"You have a grand pa?" @70 {Kazushi}\n"No, he died when I was little." @71 {Haruka}\n"I see.\nHow about your parents?" @72 {Kazushi}\n"If my memory is correct, I have a little sister." @73 {Haruka}\n"So, there are 4 in your family.\nIt sounds fun." @74 {Kazushi}\n"How about your family?" @75 I know her grand ma is our principal, but I have't heard about the rest of the family. @76 {Haruka}\n"Right now, I live just with my grand ma.\nMy parents are in Tokyo." @77 {Kazushi}\n"Oh, they are.\nI didn't know that." @78 I didn't know that.\nShe never talked about her parents before. @79 {Haruka}\n"It's because of my dad's buisiness.\nI stayed here, because I wanted to." @80 {Kazushi}\n"Is your dad also an alchemist?" @81 It was only natural to think that way.\nHaruka shook her head smiling. @84 {Haruka}\n"My dad is an ordinary salary-man.\nMy mom is a house wife. They got nothing to do with alchemy." @85 {Kazushi}\n"Is that right?" @86 I thought her whole family was alchemist. It wasn't the case. @87 Not like long time ago, I guess alchemists has freedom of choosing occupations nowdays. @90 {Haruka}\n"My father and my grand ma didn't get along. My father thought alchemy is old and shady." @91 {Kazushi}\n"I know some people would think that way." @92 That may actually be the popular opinion regarding alchemy.\nI was one of them, too. @95 {Haruka}\n"Though my father actually took pharmaceutical major and works as a pharmacist.\nTo me, they are very similar." @96 Her smile somewhat seemed sad.\nMaybe she was inbetween her father and her grand ma.\nShe chose to stay here...... @97 {Kazushi}\n"But you stayed here and decided to pursuit the way of alchemy." @98 That's why she's here away from her parents. @101 {Haruka}\n"My grand ma's always been my idol." @102 {Kazushi}\n"Principal?" @103 {Haruka}\n"Yep." @104 She turned herself around from the white flowers.\nThey are beautiful like snow crystals.\nHaruka's still looking and cherishing at them. @107 {Haruka}\n"I believe I told you about this before.\nMy grand parents met in this island." @108 {Kazushi}\n"Sure you did.\nAnd this place is their memorable place." @109 We once destructed this flower bed.\nThis is where Haruka's grand pa proposed the principal. @112 {Haruka}\n"Though he passed away long time ago and I don't know much about him, they are my ideal couple." @113 {Kazushi}\n"Even if you don't know much about him?" @114 {Haruka}\n"My grnad ma has always told me about him growing up.\nWhenever she talks about him, she becomes really happy and beautiful." @117 {Haruka}\n"That's why I'm convinced that they had such a beautiful time together. I've always dreamed of having a romance like theirs." @118 She talks about it as if she's in her dream.\nIt makes me smile imagining the principal in her young era. @119 {Kazushi}\n"That's why you stayed here." @122 {Haruka}\n"That, too.\nI wanted to help my grand ma.\nBut ......I don't know anymore." @123 Haruka became quiet.\nShe weeds grasses off the ground and throw them in the air. @124 {Kazushi}\n"Were you arguing with the principal earlier?" @125 I tried to say it as if it wasn't a big deal as much as possible.\nHaruka doesn't answer. @126 {Kazushi}\n"It's only natural to argue with your family sometimes. I always argue with my parents. I still fight with my little sister." @127 {Haruka}\n"It's little different from fighting." @128 Haruka inserts her words inbetween mine.\nShe looked sorried a little bit. @129 {Kazushi}\n"How is it different from fighting?" @130 {Haruka}\n"Well......if it's a fight, you can always make up later on. This time, I don't think it will happen." @131 {Kazushi}\n"Is it that serious?" @134 Haruka nods her head with a serious face. @135 {Haruka}\n"I can't agree to her way.\nI don't believe in sacrificing in order to achieve something." @136 {Haruka}\n"Espedcially when it means a lot to me......" @137 She's squeezing her fist tightly.\nShe must be angry at the principal. @138 {Kazushi}\n"What exactly did she do?" @139 It's hard to imagine her doing something Haruka gets so angry.\nAnd for what? @142 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi." @143 Haruka holds my hands. She holds my hands tightly and looks straight into my eyes. I've never seen her this desperate of something. @144 {Haruka}\n"Alchemy is not evil in any means.\nIf we use it correctly, it will help us.\nIt's how we use it." @145 {Haruka}\n"I want you to know that no matter what." @146 Her words sounded as if they were preyers.\nThey came into my body and spreaded out to every edge of my body. @147 {Haruka}\n"Please......" @148 Her big eyes are about to suck me in.\nThey seem to be able to take me to a different world. @149 She didn't have to ask me in this way. My answer to her is already decided. @150 {Kazushi}\n"I trust you." @153 {Haruka}\n"You do?\nI'm so glad!" @154 She seemed so relieved she couldn't help romping like a child. It made me happy that my little word can make her so happy. @157 {Haruka}\n"Oh hey!\nWhat do you want to do most right now?" @158 She looks into me with her eyes all delighted.\nHer face was so close it made me shy. @159 {Kazushi}\n"Well......" @160 I wasn't prepared to answer that question.\nI looked up in the sky having difficulty to answer, I saw white clouds swimming. @161 {Kazushi}\n"I might want to fly in the sky." @162 Haruka looks up in the sky following my eyes. @164 {Kazushi}\n"I wish I can fly like those clouds in the sky. I've actually always dreamed of flying ever since I was a child. I even got hurt one time jumping off from a tree trying to fly." @166 {Haruka}\n"Sky......\nI like that!" @168 Haruka jumps up to stand.\nAnd she pulled me up. @171 {Haruka}\n"Let's go!" @172 {Kazushi}\n"Go where?" @173 {Haruka}\n"To the sky!!" @174 {Kazushi}\n"......!?" @179 Haruka took me to the lab instead of the sky. @182 {Haruka}\n"Ummm......" @183 Haruka is staring at a furnace. @184 {Kazushi}\n"What are we doing here?" @187 {Haruka}\n"I will make you fly!" @188 She says it so easily. @189 {Kazushi}\n"How can you do that?" @192 {Haruka}\n"Nothing is impossible for alchemy.\nIf we use noble man's stone, we can fly." @193 {Kazushi}\n"Noble man's stone......" @195 {Haruka}\n"Ofcourse we can't make that, but we don't need to have something so strong now. We just have to add little more power to an object which is already capable of flying." @197 {Haruka}\n"For an instance......bird's wings." @198 {Kazushi}\n"Wings......?" @202 On both of my arms, there are wings made from bird's wings stiffen with wax. @203 I wonder what these are. And there is a huge cliff in front of me. @204 {Kazushi}\n"Am I flying off from here?" @207 {Haruka}\n"That's right!" @208 She gives me a big smile.\nWhen we just got to this island, there was still water here, not anymore. @209 I looked down. If I fail, I will die...... @210 My knees are shaking from fear. @211 {Haruka}\n"Don't worry.\nWe add power to those wings with alchemy.\nYou can fly like a bird now!" @212 {Kazushi}\n"Are you sure about this?" @215 {Haruka}\n"I'm positive.\nHere, watch." @216 She poured some kind of liquid she just made at the lab onto the wings. @222 Wings shined for a second.\nJust for a split of a second. @223 {Haruka}\n"You can fly now." @224 {Kazushi}\n"Wait a minute.\nI just think it was kind of weak." @225 I've witnessed alchemy a few times after moving to this island. I may not have enough experience to be able to tell though. @226 But as far as I know, that seemed still weak to me. @227 {Haruka}\n"That was fine.\nI went through an ordinary routine." @228 {Kazushi}\n"Really?\nbut......" @231 {Haruka}\n"Are you that worried?\nDo you want me to fly first?" @232 She confidently took away the wings from my arms and walked closer to the cliff. @233 {Kazushi}\n"Wait!\nLet me go first!" @236 I took back the wings from Haruka.\nKnowing her, she might let go the wings before she flys. @237 I also have a bad feeling about this. @240 {Haruka}\n"Sure, go ahead.\nI knew you couldn't wait!" @241 {Kazushi}\n"Are you sure this thing will make us fly?" @244 {Haruka}\n"Absolutely.\nMy alchemy is not the same with my grand ma's.\nmy alchemy is to make people happy." @245 {Kazushi}\n"All right.\nI got it." @247 I will trust her.\nI made sure my grip and stepped closer to the cliff. @248 {Kazushi}\n"Oh my......" @249 It's so high, making me dizzy. @252 {Haruka}\n"Don't ever let go the wings. Rest is easy, just let the wind take you." @253 {Kazushi}\n"O,O,O, ......K......" @255 I wonder sky divings and bungee jumps feel this way?\nIf I don't commit, I'm never gonna be able to fly. @256 {Kazushi}\n"All right, here I go!!" @257 I had to scream to make up my mind. @258 (Wind blowing) @260 Right at that moment, a wind blew. @261 {Haruka}\n"Right now!" @262 Her voice pushed my back.\nI felt my body leaning forward in slow motion. @263 (Kazushi's body floats) @264 That's when my body floated. @270 {Kazushi}\n(Kazushi screaming) @271 It's the feeling of falling.\nFalling......yep, I'm falling. @272 {Kazushi}\n"Isn't this falling?\nI think this is falling!!" @273 Haruka is already way above. I didn't know who I was screaming at, but I was screaming loud. The surface of the oceam is getting closer. @274 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi!?\nFly!!" @276 I thought I heard Haruka's voice from way up above.\nNo matter how hard I swang, wings didn't help me to fly. @277 {Kazushi}\n"Spirit!?\nIs it spirit what's missing now?" @278 (Kazushi screams to show spirit) @283 I screamed as loud as I could to put more spirit. But the falling speed stays the same. The surface of the ocean is getting closer to me with fierce speed. @284 {Kazushi}\n"I don't think I will make it--------!!" @285 I'm falling!!\nI'm dying!! @291 {Kazushi}\n"What......!?" @292 My vision is all shiny now actually, it was my body what was shining. @293 {Kazushi}\n"What's going on?" @294 I don't what went on, but I can tell the speed of me falling is now a lot slower.\nBut the surface of the ocean is just right there...... @297 (Kazushi falls into an ocean) @298 I fell into the ocean. @299 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi!?!!!" @306 (Somebody tapping Kazushi's face) @307 {Kazushi}\n"......!?" @309 (Somebody tapping Kazushi's face) @310 {Kazushi}\n"......Where am I?" @312 I woke up feeling somebody is tapping my cheeks.\nI feel something soft underneath my head.\nOh yeah, Haruka must have saved me. @315 {Natsume}\n"Oh, you are up." @316 {Kazushi}\n"Who are you......?" @317 The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Natume's face zoomed up. @318 {Kazushi}\n"N, Natsume!" @322 I jumped up.\nIt was Natume's knee pillow what felt so soft underneath my head. @323 And I was soaking wet.\nMy head to my shoes. @324 {Kazushi}\n"You saved me?" @327 {Natsume}\n"If you did crash into the ocean which you almost did, even you would not have survived." @328 {Kazushi}\n"Ofcourse.\nThanks for saving me." @331 {Natsume}\n"Don't thanks me, instead,\nbe my servent." @332 {Kazushi}\n"You want me to become your servent!?\nWell, I kinda already am." @333 She's always been bossy anyways. @336 {Natsume}\n"I'm not joking.\nYou should stay close to me." @337 Her tone was serious. @338 Her eyes are telling me she's serious. Besides, I've never heard her telling a joke. @339 {Kazushi}\n"You said I should stay close to you?" @342 {Natsume}\n"I won't let you face a danger like that." @343 {Kazushi}\n"Natsume......?" @344 She looked a little different today.\nI don't know what to respond to her. @352 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi!!" @353 Haruka ran down the stairs in a hurry.\nShe is out of breath and her knees are shaking. @356 {Natsume}\n"You suck at alchemy." @357 Natsume speaked out for me.\nHaruka looked up surprisingly to see Natsume here. @360 {Haruka}\n"Natsume......why are you here?" @361 {Natsume}\n"You suck.\nYou almost killed him." @362 Natsume blamed Haruka again.\nHaruka's face is turning red. @365 {Haruka}\n"......it was not supposed to happen......\nI did it right......" @366 {Natsume}\n"But you failed.\nKazushi, you all right?" @369 {Haruka}\n"Oh......are you all right!?" @372 {Natsume}\n"Too late." @375 {Haruka}\n"......sorry......" @376 {Natsume}\n"Shut up.\nKazushi, go to the nurse's office." @377 {Kazushi}\n"Yes.\nBut I'm all right.\nIt's you who saved me, right Natsume?" @378 Just when I thought I would crash into the ocean, I felt something was protecting me. I didn't feel anything. @382 {Natsume}\n"You are all wet.\nYou need to change." @383 {Kazushi}\n"Oh yeah, I should." @384 Natsume's little hand helped me stand up. @388 {Haruka}\n".................." @389 Haruka stays down on the floor and doesn't move at all. @390 {Kazushi}\n"Haruka, let's go." @391 {Haruka}\n"......I'm so sorry." @392 {Kazushi}\n"Don't worry any more.\nI'm all right as you see. Everybody make mistakes." @393 {Haruka}\n"But......" @397 {Natsume}\n"Leave her here." @398 {Kazushi}\n"Hey......" @400 Natsume's little body pulls me strongly.\nHaruka's still sitting on the ground drooping her head. @407 {Appo-}\n"Good!! He's still alive!!" @412 {Daigo}\n"He is one tough guy." @413 {Kazushi}\n"Is that the first thing you can say to your friend?!!" @418 {Pierre}\n"You fell onto the ocean.\nWho would survive through that?" @419 {Kazushi}\n"Natsume saved me.\nOtherwise ......" @420 I stopped. @424 {Haruka}\n".................." @425 Haruka is in the corner of the room being quiet. @431 {Mei}\n"Anyway, I'm glad you are O.K\nwhat happened anyways?" @432 {Pierre}\n"I know.\nIt's hard to believe Haruka failed in alchemy." @433 Haruka explained to everyone what we tried to do.\nShe sounded she's feeling responsibility for what happened. @437 {Mizuki}\n"I'm surprised to hear you made a mistake, too.\nMoreover, it doesn't sound like it's something you would do." @441 {Sakura}\n"I know.\nYou wouldn't do something dangerous like that normaly." @446 {Haruka}\n"......sorry." @447 Sorry"is the only word Haruka is saying all day.\nAnd there is one person who's been watching her extra critically. @454 {Principal}\n"You are so responsible for this." @455 It's principal.\nShe is watching Haruka critically as if she is not Haruka's own grand ma. @456 {Principal}\n"Alchemy is supposed to be used for enriching people's life. Look what happened when you used it for your curiosity." @461 {Haruka}\n"......I already understood!!" @462 Haruka looked up and stared at Principal.\nTheir eyes meet and fought desperately. @463 {Principal}\n"If you really did know, then how could something like this happen?" @466 {Haruka}\n"......I feel sorry for Kazushi, but I did it right like how I usually do.\nThe accident shouldn't have happened......" @467 {Principal}\n"But it did happened!\nDidn't it?!!" @470 {Haruka}\n"Umm......" @473 Haruka took back what she was about to say and looked at Principal with a surprising face. @474 {Haruka}\n"Did you do this......?\nDid you play cheap tricks on me......?!!" @475 Haruka started to say something awful. @476 {Kazushi}\n"Don't tell me......" @480 {Mei}\n"Ofcourse not.\nPrincipal would never do such a terrible thing." @481 {Haruka}\n"That's because you don't know anything!!" @482 {Mei}\n"We don't know what?" @485 {Haruka}\n"Umm......" @486 Haruka mumbles.\nIt must have something to do with what Haruka and Principal were talking earlier today. @490 {Principal}\n"You are such a problem child.\nWhat makes you think I do such an evil thing.\nWhat for?" @493 {Haruka}\n"I can't think of any other reason to fail like that!" @494 Principal couldn't help sighing depressingly. @497 {Principal}\n"I don't know what to say to you anymore.\nAll you do is to blame others and can't even reflect on yourself." @498 {Haruka}\n"But......" @503 {Natsume}\n"Hisae didn't do anything." @504 Natsume interrupted the other two.\nShe said it quietly. @505 {Natsume}\n"Hisae didn't do anything.\nThat was a mistake." @509 {Haruka}\n"But......but......" @510 Haruka couldn't say anymore.\nThat's how convinced Natsume sounded. @515 {Principal}\n"She's right.\nI didn't do anything." @518 {Haruka}\n"......you are lying!!" @523 {Natsume}\n"She's telling you the truth.\nShe was just watching smiling." @528 {Mei}\n"What......?" @532 {Principal}\n"Natsume, it's not funny." @535 {Natsume}\n"Whatever." @538 Three people are creating unpeaceful atomsphere. @539 I was right in middle of the three feeling all the pressure. @540 {Kazushi}\n"But hey, as you see, I'm all right. Why don't we put this behind us." @543 {Haruka}\n"I still don't get it.\nI went through a proper routine. Something like that should've never happened......" @548 {Principal}\n"You still don't get it, do you?" @549 Principal sounds rather sadly this time. @552 {Principal}\n"You tried it just to look back at me.\nHow can you achieve the result with such a twisted motive?" @553 {Haruka}\n"I did it to......" @554 Principal was probably right.\nHaruka could only be quiet and chagrined.\nNatsume adds some more damage to Haruka. @558 {Natsume}\n"I agree.\nYou were using Kazushi as a tool to look back at Hisae." @561 {Haruka}\n"That's not true!" @564 {Natsume}\n"You were not doing that for Kazushi.\nYou just wanted to show you are right.\nAnd that put Kazushi in a danger." @567 {Haruka}\n"I didn't mean to......" @568 It was obvious Haruka was getting cornered. @571 {Kazushi}\n"Wait a minute.\nIt was me who asked her to make me fly." @572 Not only the Principal, Natsume is also blaming Haruka. Everyone else is not even understanding what's going on. @573 I'm the only one who can speak for Haruka. @574 {Kazushi}\n"If I asked her something else, like I wanted to be full or something, I would never had to be in a danger in the first place." @575 {Kazushi}\n"She just wanted to make my wish come true, she didn't mean any harm." @578 {Natsume}\n"You are foolishly nice.\nYou almost got yourself killed." @579 {Kazushi}\n"But......I still truly appreciate her effort.\nThanks, Haruka." @580 {Natsume}\n"You didn't have to say that.\nIt's Haruka's fault." @585 {Haruka}\n".................." @586 Haruka is still drooping her head down. @590 {Principal}\n"You once blamed me for using any means so long as it helps to get what I want. But now you proveed to yourself you are the same." @593 {Haruka}\n"I am not!\nI am not like......" @596 She couldn't continue. @597 She looked so small, I didn't want to let her go out from my sight. @604 {Appo-}\n"Well, you had a bad day." @605 {Kazushi}\n"I'm all right in the end." @606 {Appo-}\n"Have you seen her afterwards?\nWe didn't see her at the dinner." @607 {Kazushi}\n"Me, either." @608 I hope she's all right. @609 {Appo-}\n"Why don't you go see her." @610 {Kazushi}\n"Maybe I want." @611 I've been thinking about her all the time after that incident.\nI'm not going to sleep well this way. @614 {Appo-}\n"Why don't you go see her and maybe even get her?" @615 Appo- sometimes say things way too easily. @616 {Kazushi}\n"What? Tell her I love her?\nWhat are you saying?" @619 {Appo-}\n"I know you like her." @620 He gave me a serious face.\nI was hoping he was just fooling around with me, but I guess not. @621 {Kazushi}\n"Yep, I do like her a lot." @622 And I told him the truth.\nI don't know since when I start liking her a lot.\nMaybe since the first day I met her. @623 I love Haruka.\nMy heart start hurting as I realized my feelings for her. @624 Appo-'s looking at me smiling. @627 {Appo-}\n"I knew it from the beginning." @628 {Kazushi}\n"How can you not like Haruka?\nShe is kind to everybody. She needs to be more indepenent but it kinda makes her cute......" @629 {Kazushi}\n"She has good figure. Good voice.\nMy type has always been someone like her.\nDon't you think?" @630 When I count all the things I like about her, I realized she's perfect. Makes me wonder what took me so long to fall in love with her. @633 {Appo-}\n"When you fall for someone, it's only natural to think that way.\nI can't believe how I used to not like Hu-sen." @636 {Appo-}\n"You can't find such a pretty girl like Hu-sen any where in the world." @637 {Kazushi}\n"Really......?" @638 I couldn't laugh at what he said.\nLove can change your entire world. @641 {Appo-}\n"I think your feeling for Haruka is true.\nI wanna give you a present." @642 {Kazushi}\n"!?......Hey!" @643 He threw me something.\nIt's a box. @644 {Kazushi}\n"Hey, this is......!!" @645 {Appo-}\n"Why are you surprised?\nIt's a condom.\nYou need it." @646 It was indeed a condom. @649 {Appo-}\n"That one is super thin.\nLike you forget it's on you.\nCome back as a man!" @650 {Kazushi}\n"......it's too early for this.\nI haven't even told her my feelings. We haven't promised anything yet......" @651 {Kazushi}\n"Even if she agrees to go out with me, we should start from holding hands and then a kiss......" @652 {Appo-}\n"I don't think you guys can take it so slowly.\nLovers can't step on a brake.\nCan you hide your hard on with your morals?" @653 {Kazushi}\n"That's impossible." @656 {Appo-}\n"See. You can't stop once you start running.\nJust hold on to it.\nYou never know when you gonna need one." @657 {Kazushi}\n"I see.\nThanks." @658 I feel like a man.\nI have a condom. @661 {Appo-}\n"I'm sure she will accept you.\nI can tell she likes you too." @662 {Kazushi}\n"You think so?\nSeriously?" @663 {Appo-}\n"I do. That's why I'm telling to go see her.\nShow her the condom and just say "I want you". This always works." @664 {Kazushi}\n"It does?\nThat sounds like what a maniac will do." @667 {Appo-}\n"Remember? I'm the expert.\nGirls like aggressive guys.\nYou almost wanna go as if you are gonna rape her." @668 {Kazushi}\n"I should?\nWow, the time has changed.\nAll right, I'll go." @671 {Appo-}\n"Don't mistake the back hole from the front one.\nThey are a lot closer than you think." @672 {Kazushi}\n"Thanks.\nWish me a luck." @677 {Kazushi}\n"Front hole, back hole......front hole......\nback hole......" @678 I can't affort to make that mistake.\nA mistake of a few inches will ruin our first time. @679 The more I think about it, the more pressure is going to hit me...... @680 {Kazushi}\n"Front hole, back hole......\nNot the front one, not the back one, either......" @683 {Rin}\n"What is the back hole?" @684 {Kazushi}\n"You can't use the back......" @685 {Kazushi}\n"Rin!?" @686 She seems she just got out from a bath.\nHer wet hair makes her look sexy. @689 {Rin}\n"Hey, what is the back hole you were just mumbling?\nWhat kind of a hole is that?" @690 {Kazushi}\n"Umm......" @691 Her innocent way of asking made me feel even more ashamed to tell the truth. @692 {Kazushi}\n"It's not something I should tell to a pure person like you." @695 {Rin}\n"I'm not pure or anything." @696 {Kazushi}\n"Yes, you are.\nBy the way, is Haruka here?" @697 I changed the subject in a hurry.\nIf Rin still insists to know what I was saying, it would make me wanna bite my tongue. @700 {Rin}\n"You came to see Haruka?\nDo you want me to go het her?" @701 {Kazushi}\n"That will be great.\nThanks." @704 {Rin}\n"Sure.\nShould I tell her you are here for something about the back hole?" @705 {Kazushi}\n"You don't have to tell her why I'm here for." @710 {Kazushi}\n"What? She's in the lab?\nAt this late?" @711 {Rin}\n"I know.\nShe's been in there all day after that." @712 After that"meaning after the incident, I guess. @713 {Kazushi}\n"I see." @714 I wonder what she is experimenting now.\nShe must be trying to find out what went wrong today. @715 {Kazushi}\n"Thanks, I will go to the lab." @718 {Rin}\n"No worries.\nBy the way, what is it? The back hole thing you were saying earlier?" @719 {Kazushi}\n"Never mind that!" @724 The door was open.\nBut it's dark. @725 {Kazushi}\n"Haruka! Are you here?!!!" @727 (A sound of shattering) @728 {Kazushi}\n"What was that......?" @729 It sounded like glass fell and shattered.\nIt's from the end room of the building. @732 {Haruka}\n"No!\nWhy is this happening?!!!" @733 An irritating voice.\nIt is Haruka. @737 I see Haruka standing in the end of the room breathing hard from frustration. On the floor, a broken flask and some kind of liquid must been inside it. @738 {Kazushi}\n"Haruka." @741 I tried to say her name as quietly as possible so I won't surprise her. She still got little surprised and turned around. She was about to cry. @743 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi......?" @746 She recognized it was me and got relaxed.\n-- only for a split of a second.\nShe looks down again. @747 {Haruka}\n"What are you doing here so late?" @748 I know she still feels resposible for what happened today. @749 {Kazushi}\n"What are you doing here?\nI heard you've been locked in yourself here all day.\nWhat are you doing?" @751 I walked toward the end of the room where she is.\nI noticed inside the room is all messed up. @752 There are more broken flasks.\nUnfamilir tools and medicines are scattered on the floor. @753 {Kazushi}\n"What are these?" @756 {Haruka}\n"Whatever I try...I keep failing...I don't know why......" @757 She responds to me in pain.\nShe must have been here almost 10 hours by now. @758 No wonder she seems exhausted. @759 {Haruka}\n"I don't know what happened to me.\nI've never kept failing like this before." @760 {Kazushi}\n"I see." @761 {Haruka}\n"Even when I first tried alchemy, I was able to succeed.\nYeah, it was an easy one, but still I was able to." @762 {Kazushi}\n"On your first try?\nWow, you are talented." @765 {Haruka}\n"My grand ma told me I have potential.\nShe was so supportive about me persuing alchemy, too." @766 For a moment, she looked very happy. @767 She grew up admiring Principal, it must be very important for Haruka that Principal saw potential in Haruka. @770 {Haruka}\n"I can't do anything now.\nMaybe I deserve this for putting you in a danger." @771 She smiles helplessly.\nIt's obvious she's very weak now. @773 {Kazushi}\n"Hey, why don't you take a little break? When things are not going your way, sometimes the best way to cure your problem is to take a good break. You can try again after the break." @775 {Haruka}\n"......maybe you are right.\nMaybe I need a break......" @777 She sat down on a chair like a worn out doll.\nI can't see her face, but I know her heart must be crying. @778 It's killing me to see her like this. @779 {Kazushi}\n"Can I sit with you?" @780 She nods her head without a word.\nI brought a chair and sat down in front of her. @782 {Kazushi}\n"Umm......" @783 I wish I can come up with words to cheer her up. @784 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi, are you still feeling all right after the incident?" @785 {Kazushi}\n"I'm perfectly fine.\nBeing healthy is the only things I'm good at.\nDon't worry about me anymore." @786 {Haruka}\n"I'm truly sorry......" @787 {Kazushi}\n"I said don't worry......" @789 {Haruka}\n"What my grand ma said today really made me think. I used to think the purpose of me using alchemy is different from hers, but in the end, it wasn't so different from hers." @791 {Haruka}\n"Maybe how I keep failing on alchemy experiments means I should not use it anymore." @792 Everything she says sounds very negative.\nShe has absolutely no confidence anymore.\nI've been there once. @793 {Haruka}\n"I promise you that I will never make you face such a danger ever again." @794 She lowers her head to show her deepest appology.\nIt makes me sad that all she's been doing for me is appologizing. @795 {Kazushi}\n"All you've been doing is appologizing me.\nForget that and take a little rest." @797 There is a time for everyone no matter what you do, you keep failing. I understand exactly how she feels now, because I was like that when I first got to this island. @799 That is why I understand the importance of her taking a little break right now. @800 {Kazushi}\n"Try to clear up your mind and take a deep breath." @801 {Haruka}\n"Take a deep breath?" @802 {Kazushi}\n"That's right. When the time is like this, we tend to forget breathing. And that may be the reason you keep failing." @803 Haruka closed her eyes as if she's trying to listen to her own breathing. @804 {Haruka}\n"Breathing......oh yeah.\nI can tell my breathing has been shallow.\nI forgot breathing was an important part of alchemy." @805 {Kazushi}\n"You feel it?\nKeep breathing.\ninhale......exhale......" @806 {Haruka}\n(Haruka taking a deep breath) @807 I made her repeat.\nShe listened to me.\nThis is good part about her. @808 {Haruka}\n(Haruka taking a deep breath) @809 As she keeps breathing deeply, her pale face gradually regains color. @810 {Kazushi}\n"As long as you breath deeply you can somewhat show what you have in you. But you gotta breath." @811 {Haruka}\n"I agree.\nI thought I knew it well." @812 {Kazushi}\n"How do you feel now?\nDo you feel better?" @813 {Haruka}\n"Yes, I do.\nThanks." @814 She still looks deoressed, but at least she should be able to talk to me. @815 {Kazushi}\n"So you have trouble with your experiments?" @816 {Haruka}\n"Yep. To the point I can laugh at myself.\nI can't even do what I used to be able to do easily." @817 {Kazushi}\n"I see.\nIt happens to everyone.\nMaybe you can get back to where you were tomorrow?" @818 {Haruka}\n"You think so?\nMaybe you're right.\nI might go to bed early today." @819 Even though she sounds like she's agreeing to me, I can tell that's not what she's really thinking.\nShe's only saying that because she still feels guilty. @820 {Haruka}\n"I want to thank you for being kind to me eventhough I made you go through what happened.\nYou said you would trust me, but--" @821 {Kazushi}\n"Stop." @822 I covered her mouth.\nI don't want to hear her saying sorry anymore. @823 {Haruka}\n"Mmmmm......!?" @824 {Kazushi}\n"No more "sorry"." @825 The person I love is getting hurt because of me.\nEventhough it wasn't my fault, my existence is what's giving her the pressure. @826 She nods her head up and down letting me know she understood.\nI let her go. @827 {Kazushi}\n"No more appologizing, got it?" @828 {Haruka}\n"I got it.\nI've been appologizing all day.\nSorr......" @829 She closed her mouth in a hurry.\nShe couldn't find anything else to say. @830 After a while, Haruka gave a big sigh. @831 {Haruka}\n"You don't have to waste time worrying about me.\nI don't wanna do anymore damage on you." @832 We didn't fight or anything, but her words created distance between us and made me sad. @833 {Kazushi}\n"You are silly. Don't say such a thing." @834 Her words made me really sad, almost made me cry. @835 {Haruka}\n"It's all because I'm an idiot." @836 {Kazushi}\n"Stop it.\nYou are not an idiot." @837 {Haruka}\n"Alchemy was the only thing I could do better than other people. But not anymore.\nBesides, I can no longer trust my grand ma." @838 {Haruka}\n"It's too late to leave this island and live with my dad. He won't welcome me. When I told my dad I'm staying here, I made him go through troubles." @839 {Haruka}\n"I got no where to go." @840 She still keeps saying negative words.\nShe wasn't crying. She was giving up. @841 {Kazushi}\n"You shouldn't be so negative.\nIt is just that things are not going your way now." @842 {Haruka}\n"I'm just a......" @843 {Kazushi}\n"Stop treating yourself like that." @844 {Haruka}\n"But......" @845 She doesn't stop!!\nI got frustrated. @846 {Kazushi}\n"Come on! I said stop!\nDon' t talk bad things about the girl I love!!" @847 I was screaming before I knew it. @849 {Haruka}\n"What? The girl you love?" @850 {Kazushi}\n"Opps......" @851 I could feel my face is losing blood.\nI didn't mean to confess her.\nShe seems to be in shock too. @852 {Haruka}\n"What did you say?\nWho loves who?" @853 {Kazushi}\n"Umm......" @854 {Haruka}\n"What did you say?" @855 Her big eyes are catching me.\nI can't stare back at her. @856 {Kazushi}\n"I ......I love you!!" @857 I told her with frustration. @858 {Haruka}\n"..................!?" @859 She tried to pretend she didn't hear me, but she couldn't. It's too late for me to even regret saying it at this moment. @860 {Haruka}\n"You......love me......!?\nYou do......?" @861 {Kazushi}\n"Why are you so surprised?\nI'm sure a lots of other guys have felt the same way before." @862 {Haruka}\n"No, not at all!!\nI've never been confessed before......" @863 {Kazushi}\n"Are you serious?" @864 {Haruka}\n"We never had boys in this island." @865 {Kazushi}\n"Oh yeah, that's right.\nAm I perhaps the first one to tell you this?" @866 {Haruka}\n"You, you are the first.\nFor the first time, I've been told from somebody that he loves me......" @867 It seems that this is a big thing for her. Her face has turned so red and she is speechless. @868 I can't care less how she would answer me.\nIt is a fact I confessed her. @869 {Kazushi}\n"And, umm, how about you......?" @870 {Haruka}\n"What about me?" @871 {Kazushi}\n"What do you think about me?" @872 It's so embarrasing to ask her about myself like this.\nIt should be very easy to answer me. It's either yes or no. @873 {Haruka}\n"Me?\nAbout you?" @874 {Kazushi}\n"Yes......and?" @876 {Haruka}\n"What do you mean......?" @877 Haruka is looking down all quiet.\nHer face has turned so red to the point I feel sorry for her. @878 {Haruka}\n"Well, I......" @879 I couldn't breathe while I was waiting for her answer.\nI'm just standing still, but my heart is pounding hard like a runner who just finished a race. @880 Her face has now turned into pale. @881 {Haruka}\n"Oh I see......" @882 She said something not related to the situation as she gave a big sigh. @883 {Kazushi}\n"What's wrong?" @884 {Haruka}\n"I can't believe I didn't notice......" @885 {Kazushi}\n"What?" @886 She finally looked up.\nI was surprised to see her crying. @887 {Kazushi}\n"Why are you crying......?" @888 Tears keep coming out from her eyes. @889 {Haruka}\n(Haruka crying) @890 {Kazushi}\n"Why?\nWhy are you crying?" @891 {Haruka}\n"I'm sorry, Kazushi.\nSorry......!! (Haruka crying loud)" @892 {Kazushi}\n"Hey, don't cry, O.K......?" @893 {Haruka}\n(Haruka crying) @894 {Kazushi}\n"Hey? Why?" @895 It is not good time to ask her for the answer anymore.\nI had to calm her down not knowing what happened.\nHaruka kept crying. @902 {Pierre}\n"Kazushi, hand me that soy sauce." @903 {Kazushi}\n"Here." @905 I reached out for the soy sauce.\nA hand with thin fingers coming from the opposite direction touched my hand. @908 {Haruka}\n"......!?" @909 It was Haruka. @912 {Haruka}\n"S, Sorry!" @913 Haruka pulled back her hand immediately. @919 {Haruka}\n"Opps......!" @921 When she pulled back her hand, she knocked over the bottle.\nSoy sauce is all over the table. @922 {Kazushi}\n"Oh no......" @923 {Haruka}\n"Sorry!\nUse this!" @924 {Kazushi}\n"You don't wanna ruin your handkachief for this.\nWill somebody get us a napkin?" @928 {Rin}\n"I will get it." @930 Rin ran off to get us a napkin.\nHaruka is in panic. @933 {Hu-sen}\n"What are you doing, Haruka?\nThis is like a comedy." @938 {Haruka}\n"Don't just observe this. Can you help me?" @939 {Hu-sen}\n"You are just like a baby." @943 {Rin}\n"Here, use this." @944 Rin threw a napkin to Haruka.\nHaruka uses it to wipe off the mess. @947 {Haruka}\n"Oh no.\nIt's almost empty." @950 {Rin}\n"It's so not like you, Haruka." @954 {Ran}\n"You think so?\nIn my opinion, Haruka is scatter-brain." @958 {Sakura}\n"Didn't you just pull back your hand because you touched Kazushi's hand?" @961 Sakura is good at finding details. Haruka was sure over-reacting. It's probably because I confessed my feelings to her yesterday. @962 I end up not getting her response.\nMaybe her tears was the answer.\nShe couldn't do anything but crying. @963 She couldn't reject me by words. That's why she had to cry.\nShe is a kind girl. @968 {Ran}\n"Did we miss anything between you two?" @969 Ran's eyes get delighted. @973 {Haruka}\n"What?\nWhat do you mean?" @974 {Ran}\n"I'm the one who's asking." @979 {Mizuki}\n"Hey Kazushi, did you do something to her?" @980 {Kazushi}\n"Why do I deserve to be investigated like this?" @984 {Rei}\n"It's always the man who does something evil." @985 {Kazushi}\n"That's not true." @989 {Haruka}\n"Stop it, everybody.\nIt's me who should be blamed......" @990 Her uncharacteristically depressing tone of voice makes everyone worried.\nThe dark atmosphere passed through everyone quickly. @994 {Mizuki}\n"Hey!\nTell us what happened!!" @995 {Kazushi}\n"Well......" @1000 {Ran}\n"You better tell us the truth." @1004 {Hu-sen}\n"Kazushi, come see us in the back of the athletic gym later." @1005 {Kazushi}\n"What? Oh no......" @1010 {Haruka}\n".................." @1015 They actually called me over to girls' dorm instead of the athletic gym. @1018 {Hu-sen}\n"What happened between you and Haruka?" @1023 {Ran}\n"It was obvious you two weren't normal." @1024 {Kazushi}\n"Can we do this some other time?" @1025 When you are surrounded by enemies like this, you can't expalin anything rationaly. @1030 {Rei}\n"Don't even think about escaping from here." @1031 Rei is standing in front of the door protecting the only exit I have. @1035 {Natsume}\n"Should we torture him?" @1036 She says a horrible thing with an innocent face. @1037 {Kazushi}\n"Natsume, please don't say such a thing with your innocent face.\nAnd why are you holding a pair of pliers?" @1042 {Ran}\n"You!\nStart talking so you can relax." @1043 {Kazushi}\n"I got nothing to say......" @1046 {Natsume}\n"........................" @1047 {Kazushi}\n"......" @1048 Girls are surrounding me staring.\nThis is alreaday torturing to me.\nI couldn't handle it anymore. @1049 {Kazushi}\n"Well, actually......" @1052 They got me talking really easily.\nI told them what happened last night.\nShame on me. @1053 I actually wanted to hear their opinions on why Haruka started to cry.\nI had to give away some information. @1059 {Hu-sen}\n"I see......" @1060 After I talked, I felt a little portion of the pressure is gone. @1065 {Rei}\n"It's just another love story." @1069 {Ran}\n"I know, it's boring.\nI wish it was something more exciting." @1070 {Kazushi}\n"What do you mean?\nYou girls are the one who threatened me to talk." @1073 {Hu-sen}\n"Don't be so bored, Ran." @1074 {Ran}\n"But I thought this was something more interesting." @1077 {Kazushi}\n"I'm not here to tell you a funny story.\nI did what you asked for, now is your turn.\nWhat do you guys think why Haruka cried?" @1082 They looked at each other's face and became confused. @1083 {Kazushi}\n"Is it so hard for you guys to tell me your opinions?" @1084 They are worrying me. @1087 {Mizuki}\n"It is hard for anyone to tell you this." @1090 {Sakura}\n"We assume Haruka doesn't like you at all and that's why she cried." @1094 Sakura's words stubbed my heart. @1096 {Kazushi}\n"You think she doesnt like me at all?" @1097 I didn't know that.\nIt makes me wanna cry.\nActually, I'm already crying. @1098 I feel something warm is coming out from my eyes. @1102 {Rin}\n"Hey girls,\nstop it.\nHe's crying." @1105 {Sakura}\n"Kazushi, you are so cute.\nWe are only joking." @1106 {Kazushi}\n"What? What do you mean you are joking.\nWhich part was the joke and which part wasn't?\nI don't know anything anymore." @1111 {Natsume}\n"You are responsible." @1112 Natsume spoke out. @1113 {Kazushi}\n"I'm resposible? For what?" @1114 {Natsume}\n"The reason why Haruka became impotent is you." @1115 {Kazushi}\n"Impotent? Are you talking about her became impotent of alchemy?\nWhat do you mean it's my fault?" @1118 {Natsume}\n"Because she almost hurt you, she is so daunted. When it comes to using alchemy, it's critical." @1119 {Natsume}\n"That's why she keeps failing." @1120 {Kazushi}\n"You are saying, the reason why she keeps failing is more because of her mental." @1121 {Natsume}\n".........yep." @1122 {Kazushi}\n"In the end,\nshe's merely in a slump." @1127 {Hu-sen}\n"To make a long story short, that's what's going on.\nMost of the time, something like this can be cured easily by taking care of the reason." @1129 I've gone through something like this before of my own. It's usually the small thing that you need to take care of to come over a slump. For her case, the reason is...... @1130 {Kazushi}\n"I am the reason." @1131 {Hu-sen}\n"Haruka is a kind of girl who takes good responsibility on whatever she does. Someone like her can be keep failing from being excessively nervous from a past mistake." @1132 {Natsume}\n"Especially when the person she almost hurt was you." @1133 {Kazushi}\n"What do you mean especially?" @1137 {Natsume}\n"......it's nothing." @1138 I didn't get the last part.\nAnyway, I found out that the reason why she keeps failing is because of me. @1139 {Kazushi}\n"So you think I shouldn't have told her my feelings for her last night?" @1142 {Natsume}\n"Yes. Like how you are not good at understanding the situation most of the time." @1146 {Mizuki}\n"I know.\nYou could have chosen better time and better place." @1150 {Sakura}\n"She's right.\nYou have to be careful because you might have ruined your chance." @1151 {Kazushi}\n"Seriously?\nOh no......" @1152 No wander I've been keep failing to ask out girls.\nI think I just broke my own record of consective rejection from the girls. @1157 {Kazushi}\n"Ouch!?" @1161 Natsume hit me on the back suddenly. @1162 {Natsume}\n"If you have time to get depressed, go see Haruka now." @1163 {Kazushi}\n"Right now?\nBut what can I do......?" @1164 I might disturb her even more. @1165 {Kazushi}\n"Maybe I should leave her alone for a while......" @1168 {Natsume}\n"Stupid. A stupid like you shouldn't think." @1169 {Kazushi}\n"Why are you calling me stupid......?" @1173 {Hu-sen}\n"I agree.\nSomeone like you shouldn't think, just make an action." @1178 {Mizuki}\n"You love Haruka, right?\nRight now is the time she needs you the most." @1185 {Ran}\n"We know that's what you want to do. It is so not like you to hesitate.\nKazushi, be yourself." @1189 Sakura and Mizuki stood up to create a way so I can go see Haruka. @1194 {Rin}\n"You should go now.\nGood luck!" @1195 {Sakura}\n"Say hi to Haruka for us." @1196 Their eyes are telling me to go get her.\nI feel like they gave me courage to go see her. @1197 {Kazushi}\n"Yes, I will.\nThanks girls." @1202 {Ran}\n"Just go!" @1207 {Natsume}\n"And don't come back." @1212 {Hu-sen}\n"By the way, Haruka wasn't in her room. Do you have an idea where she is?" @1213 It's already late at night and she is not in her room.\nWhere would she want to be when she's depressed......? @1214 {Kazushi}\n"Oh yeah, I know where she would be." @1219 I knew she was here. @1220 {Kazushi}\n"Hey!" @1221 I called her from her behind. @1224 {Haruka}\n"............!?" @1225 She looked confused to see me. @1228 {Haruka}\n"H, Hey." @1231 She tried to make a smile but she looked down instead. @1232 She usually stares back at me to the point I get shy, but lately, she seems to avoid eye contacts.\nThat itself is enough to hurt me. @1233 {Kazushi}\n".................." @1234 I won't give up.\nIt's Haruka who needs to be cheered up now.\nI can't be feeling depressed now. @1235 {Kazushi}\n"You are still taking care of this place like how you've always been." @1236 I decided to talk to her.\nShe is looking straight ahead holding her knees together. @1237 Just like when I first met her, I see tool and medicines on the ground.\nShe must have been taking care of the flowers. @1240 {Haruka}\n"No one else knows how to take care of the flowers.\nHowever, I might not be able to anymore." @1241 {Kazushi}\n"What do you mean?\nYou've been taking good care of this place till today." @1242 {Haruka}\n"But look at them." @1243 I didn't recognize till she pointed out.\nAll the flowers seems sick. @1246 {Haruka}\n"I've never let this happen before.\nThere was a time I couldn't make them bloom, but never let them be sick like this." @1247 {Kazushi}\n"Isn't this because it's been so hot lately?\nOr maybe they just need more water." @1248 {Haruka}\n"Remember these flowers are not ordinary flowers?\nIt's not because of not getting enough water.\nThese flowers need the energy of this island." @1249 {Kazushi}\n"Energy from the island?" @1250 {Haruka}\n"In order to do so, I need to visualize them growing healthy. I also need to make good fertilizer for them." @1251 {Kazushi}\n"I didn't understand everything you said, but it sure sounds very difficult. You've always been able to do that, and to me, that's amazing." @1254 {Haruka}\n"Thanks, but I don't remember how I used to be able to do that......" @1255 Haruka smiles helplessly.\nIt's killing me to watch her this way. @1256 I took my eyes off from Haruka and look at the moon lit flower garden. @1257 {Kazushi}\n"This is where I met you for the first time." @1258 I clearly remember that day. @1259 {Kazushi}\n"......oops." @1260 Maybe I shouldn't try to remember that day.\nI'm sure Haruka wouldn't want me to remember how she was that day. @1263 {Haruka}\n"......something wrong?" @1264 She noticed something different and look me up. @1265 {Kazushi}\n"It's nothing.\nI don't remember weired thing that happened on the day.." @1268 {Haruka}\n"......!" @1269 Oh no, she remembered!\nHaruka's face is turning red quickly. @1272 {Haruka}\n"Please try not to remember what happened on that day." @1273 {Kazushi}\n"I know, I know.\nI'm trying to erase my memory right now." @1274 Come on, make it disappear.\nAt least just for now. @1277 {Haruka}\n"Remember all the flowers were blooming that day?\nThat was the first time I've ever seen it happened." @1278 {Kazushi}\n"First time? Why?\nAren't flowers supposed to bloom every year?" @1279 {Haruka}\n"I told you these are not ordinary flowers.\nEven within the same kind, flowers are little different depends on how well you took care of it." @1280 {Kazushi}\n"Different kind within the same kind?" @1281 {Haruka}\n"Just like alchemy.\nThere are stages. It depends on how far we can improve each flowers." @1282 {Haruka}\n"The white flowers we saw that day belongs to the highest stage. That was the first time I saw flowers bloom like that." @1283 {Kazushi}\n"Really?\nI didn't know how lucky I was till now." @1284 I didn't know how lucky I was. I've actually been pretty lucky my whole life. @1285 Maybe I'm using up all my luck on something not so important. @1288 {Haruka}\n"I don't think it happened by an accident." @1289 Haruka smiled at me for some reason. @1290 {Haruka}\n"I don't think you were there by an accident." @1291 {Kazushi}\n"What do you mean?" @1294 {Haruka}\n"You didn't happen to be where flowers bloomed.\nIt's the opposite.\nThe flowers bloomed because you were there." @1295 {Kazushi}\n"They bloomed because I was there?\n..................why?" @1296 Why did they bloom because I was there?\nIn what way was I involved? @1297 {Kazushi}\n"That was just coincident I was there.\nI didn't do anything." @1298 That's right. I didn't do anything.\nAll I did was just being there. @1299 {Haruka}\n"But it was exactly the same way when it happened for my grand parents." @1300 {Kazushi}\n"What? What's exactly the same?" @1303 {Haruka}\n"No! It's nothing!" @1304 Haruka evaded my question. I wonder what meant by exactly the same with her grand parents. It bothers me. @1307 {Haruka}\n"You know my grand ma has been observing you?\nShe thinks something special is going to happen to you." @1308 {Kazushi}\n"Principal? Seriously?" @1309 She has her eyes on me?\nThat's not good at all. @1310 {Kazushi}\n"I wonder what she saw in me?\nI think it's a mistake." @1311 {Kazushi}\n"I've never practiced alchemy before in my whole life and I don't have inspiration.\nI've never bent a spoon, either." @1312 I would be in awe if I could do any of those.\nBut at the same time, I know I don't have talent in those. @1315 {Haruka}\n"I'm positive it happened because of you.\nHowever, I don't know exactly how you made it happen.\nThat's why we've been observing you." @1316 {Kazushi}\n"What......observing?" @1317 Observing-- it took me a while to understand what she said. @1318 {Haruka}\n"You must have something special.\nThat special thing will give us a hint for us to improve......" @1319 She looks straight into my eyes and let it out. @1322 {Haruka}\n"That's why I got close to you." @1323 {Kazushi}\n"Got close to me......" @1324 Her words sounded so cold, something hard to believe it came out from her mouth. @1327 {Haruka}\n"Do you understand now?" @1328 Is this Haruka I know?\nIt seemed like somebody replaced her. @1331 {Haruka}\n"Are you in shock?" @1332 {Kazushi}\n"......no." @1333 If I understand her words by words, I would probably get shocked though. @1336 {Haruka}\n"Aren't you disgusated at me?\nI got close to you because my grand ma ordered me to." @1337 {Kazushi}\n"I see.\nBut you didn't have to tell me that." @1340 {Haruka}\n"You didn't want to know?" @1341 {Kazushi}\n"I don't care,. but I think you are the one who wanted me to not know.\nYou didn't have to be so caring for me." @1343 Haruka looks at me in disbelief. @1346 {Haruka}\n"Why?\nDon't you hate me for spying on you?" @1347 {Kazushi}\n"Not really." @1348 {Haruka}\n"Why? "not really"?" @1349 She seems to be in disblief of me not getting angry at her. I don' know, but I'm not angry. @1350 {Kazushi}\n"You shouldn'tbe surprised to see me not getting angry at you. I have many reasons to love you." @1351 {Kazushi}\n"I've been watching you from the first day I got here.\nThis can't stop me from loving you." @1354 {Haruka}\n"I'm just saying, I'm a terrible person......" @1356 {Kazushi}\n"Maybe this is too much information, but I'm crazy about you.\nI know you are not a bad person, because if you were, I wouldn't have fell in love with you." @1360 {Haruka}\n"Kazushi......" @1361 {Kazushi}\n"Besides, if we called you a bad person then the world is filled with bad peoples." @1364 {Haruka}\n"You are wrong......\nyou are not listening to me!!" @1367 Haruka rushes toward me raising her fists like a child fight.\nI accepted her anger and grabbed her fists. @1368 {Haruka}\n"I can't move! Let go of me!" @1369 {Kazushi}\n"See, you can't shake me, can you?\nYou can't shake my love for you, either." @1370 {Haruka}\n"This is not fair!\nLet go of me!" @1371 {Kazushi}\n"You want me to?" @1372 I released her hands. @1377 As I let go her hands, her small fist hit me in my cheek.\nA tiny impact. @1381 {Haruka}\n"Ouch!" @1382 It was Haruka who cried out.\nShe holds her hand in pain. @1383 {Kazushi}\n"You hurt yourself.\nLet me see." @1386 {Haruka}\n"......!?" @1387 Her fist is turing red.\nI wrapped her fist with my palms and rubbed it gently so the pain would go away. @1390 {Haruka}\n"How can you be so kind to me?" @1391 {Kazushi}\n"Of course it's because I love you.\nYou stop being mean to someone you like at elementary student age." @1392 {Haruka}\n"......I think you are making a mistake.\nI don't deserve love from somebdoy like you." @1393 {Kazushi}\n"It's not your choice. I have a right to love anyone I choose.\nTo me, you are very attractive." @1396 Haruka's face is turning red in a hurry. @1397 {Haruka}\n"I think......\nI think you have bad vision.\nYou should go see an eye doctor." @1398 {Kazushi}\n"No.\nI'm positive.\nYou are the most attractive girl in the whole world." @1401 {Haruka}\n"That's not true.\nI'm not such an attractive girl.\nYou are not listening to me." @1402 {Kazushi}\n"I am listening to you.\nI don't know what it is but you said you and Principal wanted to make a reserch on me?" @1403 {Haruka}\n"That's right.\nAnd that's why I got close to you......" @1404 {Kazushi}\n"You should've told me that in the first place.\nI would be happy to cooperate." @1407 {Haruka}\n"What? You will cooperate?" @1408 {Kazushi}\n"I can be a help for you guys, right?\nThen, let me help you." @1411 {Haruka}\n"Umm............" @1412 She stares at me in disblief.\nShe is stunned and unable to move. @1413 {Kazushi}\n"It always makes me happy to do something with you. You can make a reserch on me.\nIt's a win-win situation." @1417 {Haruka}\n"But......I'm not sure I you really understand what we want to do with you. What if it was something like an experimenting on your body?" @1419 {Kazushi}\n"Is it?\nIs it going to hurt?" @1420 {Haruka}\n"I don't know......what if?" @1421 {Kazushi}\n"......I will still do it!!" @1424 {Haruka}\n"How can you say O.K to that so soon?!!\nYou are too nice!!" @1425 {Kazushi}\n"I'm not blindly trusting anyone.\nI trust because it's you." @1428 {Haruka}\n"Because it's me......?" @1429 {Kazushi}\n"I trust because it's you.\nI will trust whatever you do." @1430 {Kazushi}\n"And it's not because I'm in love with you. I trust you as a person.\nI've only known you for a month, but I can trust you." @1433 {Haruka}\n"But......" @1434 Here goes "but"again. @1435 {Kazushi}\n"Just shut up!" @1436 I pulled her hand with force. @1440 {Haruka}\n"......hey" @1441 Her body is falling on my chest.\nI hugged her strongly. @1442 {Kazushi}\n"I don't care if you were a bad girl.\nI don't care what you are trying to do with my body.\nJust tell me if you like me or not." @1443 Haruka grabbed my forearms tightly and pressed her forehead against my chest. @1445 {Haruka}\n"..................love you." @1446 She said it with a small voice in my chest. @1447 {Kazushi}\n"......!?" @1448 The time has stopped and sound was gone. There was only Haruka and me in the whole world. @1449 {Kazushi}\n"Is it real?\nYou are not lying, are you?" @1450 {Haruka}\n"I don't lie.\nYou don't get to go to heaven if you become a liar." @1451 {Kazushi}\n"So, you are telling me the truth?" @1452 She nods her head.\nTo me, it had just as big of an impact as if the earth flipped over itself. @1453 My eyes feel hot.\nSomething warm came down from my eyes. @1454 {Haruka}\n"......is it raining?" @1455 She looked up and opened her eyes widely in surprise. @1456 {Haruka}\n"Why are you crying?" @1457 {Kazushi}\n"I've never been happier......" @1458 I couldn't help cryng.\nI know it is embarrassing, but I couldn't stop. @1459 {Haruka}\n"......are you that happy?" @1460 {Kazushi}\n"I don't mind even if I die today......" @1461 {Haruka}\n"What? You can't die today.\nI don't want you to die." @1462 {Kazushi}\n"I know.\nI won't die if you want me to stay alive." @1463 {Haruka}\n"Please." @1467 Haruka smiled at me and stood on her tiptoes.\nHer face got realy close to mine.\nHaruka mumbled something while I was in shock. @1468 {Kazushi}\n"I couldn't hear you." @1471 {Haruka}\n"I put a spell on you.\nSo alchemy will protect you." @1472 {Kazushi}\n"Alchemy will protect me?" @1473 {Haruka}\n"That's right.\nLower your head." @1474 {Kazushi}\n"You want me to lower my head?" @1476 I bent over as I was told.\nHaruka walks toward me slowly as she smiles. @1477 I think I was standing there being out of focus. @1478 (Haruka gives a kiss) @1479 Little moisten lips kissed my forehead.\nIt was from Haruka.\nHaruka kissed on my forehead. @1480 My forehead where she kissed starting to feel warm.\nAnd that warmness started to spread out over my entire body. @1481 {Kazushi}\n"Umm......" @1484 I think I was still out of focus.\nHaruka is giving me a big smile. @1485 {Haruka}\n"There you go.\nAlchemy will protect you." @1486 {Kazushi}\n"T, Thank you." @1487 I couldn't see her face straight.\nMy forehead is still feeling warm. @1490 {Haruka}\n"What's wrong?\nYour face is all red." @1491 {Kazushi}\n"It's because you surprised me." @1492 {Haruka}\n"I did?" @1493 {Kazushi}\n"Well you kissed......" @1496 Eventhough it was on the forehead, it was a kiss.\nNow, Haruka's face is all turning red. @1497 {Haruka}\n"That didn't count as a kiss.\nI didn't mean anything naughty." @1498 {Kazushi}\n"I know, I know.\nIt just put a spell on me, right?\nYou didn't have to deny it so desperately." @1499 {Haruka}\n"You don't want to kiss me, do you?" @1500 {Kazushi}\n"What makes you think so.\nOf course I do." @1503 {Haruka}\n"You want to kiss?\nWith me?" @1504 {Kazushi}\n"Of course I do.\nI really want to kiss you." @1505 {Haruka}\n"You want to kiss me that much?" @1506 {Kazushi}\n"I want it crazy." @1507 {Haruka}\n"I don't want you to be crazy.\nDo you want to try?" @1508 {Kazushi}\n"What? I can?" @1511 {Haruka}\n"Umm......" @1512 {Kazushi}\n"Well......shall we?" @1513 {Haruka}\n"All right......" @1516 She looked up and closed her eyes.\nI could easily tell she was nervous from looking at her eyelash shaking. @1517 {Kazushi}\n"............well." @1518 {Haruka}\n"What's wrong." @1519 Haruka opened one eye. @1520 {Kazushi}\n"Should I close my eyes also?" @1521 {Haruka}\n"I don't know." @1522 {Kazushi}\n"If I close my eyes, I might miss your lips." @1523 {Haruka}\n"You are right.\nWhat should we do?" @1524 {Kazushi}\n"Have you kissed anyone before?" @1527 {Haruka}\n"Of course not.\nI never had a boyfriend.\nHave you kissed before?" @1528 {Kazushi}\n"I know nothing, either.\nThis is my first time." @1531 {Haruka}\n"This is your first time?\nThat makes us equal." @1532 {Kazushi}\n"That's right!" @1533 We both laughed awkwardly.\nBut, we quickly became quiet once again. @1536 {Haruka}\n"..................\nwell then......" @1537 Haruka closes her eyes again.\nI decided to close my eyes, too. @1539 {Kazushi}\n".................." @1541 Eventhough I closed my eyes, I felt like I could still see her face. I followed the vision which is printed on the backside of my eyerid. I felt her lips covering mine. @1543 {Haruka}\n"Nnn......" @1544 Her lips got closed tightly as a reflection of the contact. They are firmly closed yet feel moisten and soft on the surface. @1545 {Haruka}\n"Ah......" @1546 I don't remember how long we kept the contact.\nWe finally let go each other as we had to breathe. @1550 {Haruka}\n(Haruka catching her breath) @1551 After a long sigh,\nshe looked up to me with her wet eyes. @1554 {Haruka}\n"we did it." @1555 {Kazushi}\n"Y, Yep." @1557 My face is burning.\nHer face is red from the excitement as well.\nShe's never been so cute as she is now. @1560 {Haruka}\n"I feel my face is burning.\nAnd my heart is pounding." @1561 {Kazushi}\n"Me, too.........!?...hey." @1562 I thought of something. @1563 {Haruka}\n"What's wrong?" @1564 {Kazushi}\n"We didn't put our tongues inside of each other, did we?" @1565 We just covered each other's lips and forgot to put our tongues in. @1568 {Haruka}\n"Put in tongues?\nYou mean tongues?\nWe supposed to do that?" @1569 {Kazushi}\n"I think that's what lovers do." @1570 {Haruka}\n"Tongue......!? Seriously......?" @1571 Haruka takes a big sigh as her face becomes red once again. @1572 {Kazushi}\n"I'd never want to lick a tongue of someone else's, but if it was yours, I like to lick it." @1575 {Haruka}\n"And I'm going to lick yours, right......?" @1576 Another big sigh from Haruka.\nShe seems very embarrased and dizzy. @1577 {Haruka}\n"We have to go through that to make it officially a lover's kiss?" @1578 {Kazushi}\n"I think so......\nbecause in some other countries, people kiss on the lips as a greeting." @1581 {Haruka}\n"That's true.\nThen, we have to do this." @1582 {Kazushi}\n"Should we try once again?" @1585 {Haruka}\n"S, Sure." @1586 Start over again.\nShe closes her eyes once again and waits for me as I cover her lips. @1588 {Haruka}\n"Nnnn......" @1589 Maybe she got a little used to it this time, Haruka's mouth was a little open this time.\nAnd for that reason, it feels even softer this time. @1590 {Kazushi}\n"Nn......" @1591 I made up my mind and slide my tongue into the opening. @1592 {Haruka}\n"Nnnnn!?" @1593 Haruka leaks a voice from a surprise.\nShe almost bit my tongue from it, too. @1594 {Haruka}\n"Nn, N ah......" @1595 The tip of my tongue touches her tongue.\nShe pulled it back for a second from a surprise but soon started to touch mine. @1596 {Haruka}\n"Nnn......NAh............" @1597 It felt so good and made me dizzy.\nHaruka's tongue was so soft and so hot, her saliva tasted so sweet. @1601 {Haruka}\n"Nn, ah......" @1602 We were suffocating from a long kiss.\nHer lips are wet from each other's saliva.\nIt makes them look so naughty. @1605 {Haruka}\n"What happened to me......?\nI feel dizzy." @1606 {Kazushi}\n"Me, too......" @1607 Haruka rests her head on my chest.\nI can feel her entire body is very loose. @1610 {Haruka}\n"I never knew how a real kiss would feel like this.\nI wonder everybody else is doing this too?" @1611 {Kazushi}\n"I don't know.\nI assume Appo- and Hu-sen is doing this." @1612 Those two might be doing something even more wild. @1615 {Haruka}\n"I see.\nMaybe I will ask Hu-sen what they are doing." @1616 {Kazushi}\n"Whatever she tells you, we shouldn't take it so seriously, though." @1617 God knows what kind of kinky stuff they will teach Haruka.\n......actually, I don't mind that. @1620 {Haruka}\n"Umm, Kazushi." @1622 She suddenly sits down on her knees on the spot with a seroius face. @1625 {Haruka}\n"Thanks for falling in love with me.\nI will do my best to match the person whom you would deserve." @1627 She bows deeply to me. @1628 {Kazushi}\n"I do the same to you!!" @1630 I got down on the ground in a hurry.\nI bowed and put my forehead on the ground to show her I feel the same way. @1633 When we both raised our head, we found each other's face really close.\nWe had to laugh, because we were both embarrassed. @1634 {Haruka}\n"This is so embarrassing.\nI can't believe I have a boyfriend from now on." @1635 {Kazushi}\n"Me, too.\nHaruka, you're my girlfriend." @1636 {Haruka}\n"I am your girlfriend. (Haruka starts laughing)" @1637 {Kazushi}\n"I'm your boyfriend.(Kazushi starts laughing)" @1639 After staring at each other for a while, our face got closer once again naturally. @1641 {Kazushi}\n"Just one more time......" @1642 {Haruka}\n"Sure......Nnnn......" @1645 We covered each other's lips once again while we still sat down on our knees. We kept saying one more time, one more time, in the end, we kissed 23 times that day.
