Dialogue in this work
Page 1
- The Day of the Date
- I ended up choosing this outfit, but...
- Masaki!
- I hope it's okay...
- !
Page 2
- I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!
- Shu's casual clothes are so cool and cute!
- Haaah...
- Today, I'll go shopping with this boyfriend of mine, then we'll have a sleepover... Uheheh...
- No, get a grip, me!
- W-Well... shall we get going then?
- Yes!
- He's holding my hand! Are we really doing this from the start?!
- Shopping Date Begins
Page 3
- ...So, what should we go buy?
- I've made a list!
- Ah, wait a sec.
- What is this adorable creature?
Page 4
- Something like that.
- I should leave the stuff I always use at Rei's place. And then a toothbrush and a cup.
- Mm?
- ?
- What's wrong?
Page 5
- ...We're being followed.
- Huh...?
- In times like these...
- !
- Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is best!
- Wait, Shu!
Page 6
- That woman...
- Who is she?
- She's a bit scary, but she's beautiful...!
- But...
- She just called him 'Shu'?! What exactly is their relationship...?
- Don't tell me she's an ex-girlfriend or something...
- Yu...?! What are you doing here?
Page 7
- His sister?!
- Ah, yes. She's my sister, two years older.
- To meet Shu's family like this...!
- She's staring at me so intensely!
- Actually...
- I'm...
- Yu, this is...
Page 9
- I... I'm...
- How is he going to introduce me to his sister?
- As his girlfriend? His boss? Or maybe...
- My girlfriend,
- Tsuruse Masaki.
Page 10
- Shu ♥ He properly introduced me as his girlfriend!
- I love him ♥
- Hah!
- Hmm... His girlfriend, huh? You two certainly seem close, but...
- Big sis is worried when I don't even know who the person is.
- But she has a point. She'd naturally be wary of someone she hasn't even been properly introduced to.
- She's super wary of me!
- In that case!
Page 11
- I am Tsuruse Masaki, Manager of the Third Business Department at East Up Line Co., Ltd...!
- If I reveal my identity, I should be able to gain her trust...
- Ugh... I'm more nervous than when I give my card to a client...!
- I... I'm Shu's boss, but we're also dating...!
- Oh... uh, thank you for being so polite.
- Not at all.
- Now then... How's that?!
Page 12
- ?!
- Wh-What kind of emotion is that?!
- Eh?
- A-Are you okay?!
- ...Yes.
Page 13
- Oh, thank goodness! The person Shu's dating is a proper, decent person...!
- I was worried it might be a date scam or a honey trap, so I'm relieved...
- ?!
- Ah, I'm sorry for saying such rude things! And for losing my composure...
- Not at all...
- S-So, I guess she approves of me... for now?
- But his sister is pretty intense...
- Geez, Yu, you worry too much.
- Wh-?!
Page 14
- Of course I worry!
- Even this scar, it's like I'm the one who caused it when you were protecting me...!
- Ah.
- Hey...
- Shu has a strong sense of justice in weird ways,
- and he pokes his nose into troublesome things.
- So big sis worries, you know.
- Geez...
Page 15
- Now THAT'S a story I'm interested in hearing?!
- It's the first I'm hearing of it!
- I... I want to hear about it...!
- Anyway, Masaki, I'm sorry for all the trouble.
- As his older sister, please take care of my little brother, Shu.
- No, no, please don't worry about it.
- More importantly, Yu-nee,
Page 16
- I'd like to hear a bit more of the story, so
- how about we have lunch together after this?
- I want to hear stories about Shu's past!!
- Eh.
- I'm cool with it, but... what about you, Shu?
- Well... if Masaki wants to...
- Next time: Lunch and old stories.
Page 17
- I'm curious about the scar too, but first...
- Shu...
- What were you like in the past?
- ...He was a dependable little brother who'd worry about me getting picked on and stay by my side.
- I can kind of see that, but it's also a little surprising...
- Getting picked on... Like, fights and stuff...?
- Yeah.
- You might understand if you see this.
Page 18
- ...This is us from back then.
- Pretty different from now, right?
- Yeah. Yu, you have a photo like that on your phone?!
- Kyaaah ♥
- Little Shu is so cute!
- ...You're right, Yu, you look completely different...
- ...Huh?
Page 19
- Shu, at this time,
- you don't have the scar yet, do you?
- Um... if it's not too much trouble, could I ask...?
- That... if Yu is okay with it.
- ...That's right. The incident happened shortly after that.
- ...When I was in middle school, maybe because I looked like this and was quiet,
- there were several weird, stalker-like people.
Page 20
- One day,
- one of them started persistently chasing me.
- While I was running away,
- Shu, who had come to pick me up, noticed.
- It was good that he rushed over, but...
- he was just an elementary schooler, so he didn't even think to call the police.
- He charged in with too much momentum,
- and crashed into a telephone pole...
Page 21
- My sister... My precious sister...
- Hiee...
- Don't you... dare touch her!
- Ohh, so then...
- Well... it's embarrassing, but back then too, I suddenly remembered this and just...
- ?
- Well, in reality,
Page 22
- What do you think you're doing! I'm calling the police!
- !
- ...Tch.
- The one who saved us was
- a sharp-eyed high school girl whose name we didn't even know.
- Heeh...
- So there was a brave person there, huh.
- Yes, she saved us.
- ...Or rather,
Page 23
- Thinking back,
- something similar happened to me when I was in high school.
- A lot of other things were going on back then, so I don't remember it clearly...
- Age-wise, it lines up, but...
- ...Do you know any details about that high school girl?
- I remember roughly what she looked like, but
- I don't know her name, let alone her contact information.
- I wanted to thank her.
Page 24
- After she arranged for the police and ambulance and gave some simple first aid,
- she left gallantly...
- ...
- Masaki, may I ask you something?
- Which high school did you attend?
- Nakamiya First Girls' High School.
- That's close to my parents' house.
- I see...
- Yes?
- Is that so?
- The high school girl who saved us was wearing a Nakamiya uniform.
- ...!
- Masaki, what did you look like back then?
- Umm...
Page 25
- Glasses and pigtails...
- ?!
- Could it be, I wonder...
- M-Me?! You mean me?
- ...Sorry, I don't remember.
- No, it's fine!
Page 26
- Thank you so much for that time...!
- No, no... I just did what anyone would do...
- So things like this really happen...
- I'm so happy. I've wanted to thank you for so long...
- ...
Page 27
- Hm?
- Shu? What's wrong?
- Shu, you seem a bit... different...
- Hah! Don't tell me! We actually met, but
- he's angry that I forgot?!
- Sorry, I was just thinking about something...
- To be honest, I don't remember if the person from back then was actually Masaki or not...
- Oh, that's not it. Then what is it...?
Page 28
- But... vaguely,
- I remember she praised me...
Page 29
- As my consciousness was fading,
- the one who saved me and Yu,
- I only remembered her striking eyes...
- I started to prefer older women... with sharp eyes...
- She was my first love.
- It was so long ago, I'd almost forgotten, but
- the person I never thought I'd meet again is right in front of me now,
- so I'm a little confused...
Page 30
- Not only did I meet her again, but she's my girlfriend.
- Masaki really is my destined one, isn't she...
- M-My destined one?! To be told something like that... it's embarrassing...!
- Big sis thinks so too.
- If she's the benefactor who saved you, I have no complaints.
- Ma...
Page 31
- ...Once again, please take care of my little brother.
- And...
- What I wanted to tell you, the girl from back then...
- Don't worry.
- The me you once protected...
- ...is doing fine now, thanks to this look.
- Hmph.
- As someone who was partly responsible for my brother getting hurt...
- Don't you... dare touch her!
- ...I was the one being targeted, and I made him worry, so...
- That high school girl...
- ...I decided I had to become strong like Masaki.
- What do you think you're doing! I'm calling the police!
Page 32
- ...like Masaki,
- I didn't have that kind of natural talent, so...
- As a result of pursuing 'strength' in my own way...
- ...I came across some good books.
- When I started high school,
- I decided to completely change to my current style.
Page 33
- Thanks to that, I haven't had any weirdos bothering me since then,
- ...but,
- I somehow missed the timing to change back, so even now, my casual clothes are like this.
- Maybe because of that, I've been single for a long time, but...
- But enough about me!
- What's important now is you two!
- Come on, we haven't even ordered yet. Let's get some food!
- I caused you trouble, so this is on me!
Page 34
- Well then, I'll be going!
- Enjoy your date!
- ...She's quite an amazing sister, huh.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry about all this.
- No, it's totally fine.
- Well... getting your family's approval...
- ...made me happy.
Page 35
- ...
- ...Well then, shall we go?
- Yes!
- ...Now that we have her blessing,
- Thinking of this as an officially approved date...
- ...it's kind of embarrassing.
- It is, isn't it?
Page 36
- But still, to think we met when I was a student...
- You did well, young man. You're impressive.
- Really...
- Ah.
- That's right.
- In that case,
- can I do a little more shopping?
- Sure, but...

- Even if you're a 38-year-old man
- I oversleep and I'm late, but this is where the starting line is.
- In a world with too much information
- Maro can't stop playing FPS
- Maro can't stop playing FPS
- Maro can't stop playing FPS
- Maro can't stop playing FPS
- Maro can't stop playing FPS
Page 38
- But... vaguely,
- You did well, young man. You're impressive.
- Clearer ver.
- I remember she praised me...
Page 39
- Masaki... Her gaze is so intense...
- Additional shopping... What is she planning to buy...?
- Alright! This is it!
Page 40
- Shu...
- How about... this one?
- That looks great!!
- I also bought non-prescription glasses and two hair ties.

Page 43
- Well then...
- We're done with the extra shopping,
- It's a bit early, but...
- Shall we go... home?
- U-Um...
- That's right...! Today was a shopping date for our sleepover!
- I forgot because of what happened with your sister... It's here...!
- Then, shall we hold hands...?
- Ah.
Page 44
- ...Guess I'll have to be patient.
- ...Masaki, what's wrong? All of a sudden...
- Oh, um...
- It's my first time going to Shu's place while it's still light out, and...
- I'm sorry about that... My sister...
- ...I need to be careful we're not being followed...
- No, no, actually, I haven't been cautious enough until now.
- It's better to be careful.
- I don't mind, though.
- Oh, no, I appreciate the sentiment, but...
- We're still boss and subordinate, so we need to be careful. It's late to say this, but...
- Understood. I'll be careful too.
- Sorry.
Page 45
- We made it safely.
- Nothing particularly suspicious so far, but...
- Being on high alert is tiring...
- Masaki, come on in.
- Okay!
Page 46
- Excuse me for intruding!
- It's my second time here, but it feels strangely calming.
- Is it because we're inside and out of public view...?
- ...Out of public view...!
- Does the scent calm me down...? What is it...?
Page 47
- Oh right, now that we're here... it's fine if we get a little closer, isn't it?
- I don't have to hold back anymore, huh?
- Then, I guess...
Page 48
- The moment I thought we were alone,
- Sorry.
- I couldn't hold back anymore ♥
Page 49
- ...Shu...♥
- ...For now, why don't you go take a shower... okay?
- Ah, yes!
- I'll bring the underwear and stuff we bought earlier.
Page 50
- ...Alright.
Page 51
- Aaaah... I might have overdone it.
- I wonder if Masaki is okay...
- My girlfriend, who I love so much,
- turned out to be the first love I admired...
- After she showed me a smile like that...
- I can't hold back...
- Shu! Help!
Page 52
- The front won't close!!
- Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
- Masaki, cover your front!
- If I look directly, I don't think I can maintain my composure again!
Page 53
- Oh dear, what a mess.
- I didn't think my chest wouldn't fit.
- I really can't look directly...
- I'll look for the uniform at my parents' place next time, so...
- How about this for today?
Page 54
- Masaki, I'm happy you recreated how you looked when we met, but...
- Um... I don't think I can hold back any more than I did earlier, and I'm afraid I'll lose control...
- Shu.
- You don't have to hold back, you know...?
- W-We're a couple, after all.
- If it's me...
- it's okay to lose your composure...♥
Page 55
- Here it cooomes ♥
- ...?
Page 56
- Please wait a moment.
- ?!
Page 57
- Wha...
- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Nn...
Page 58
- I have the day off tomorrow, so...
- Could it be...
- Tonight, you'd better be prepared.
- Have I awakened a sleeping beast...?
- Even in this state, he's so meticulous with his preparations. That's so like Shu, though.
- Ah.
- The long night has only just begun.
Page 59
- Mmm... What time is it...?
- Zaaaaa
- Shu's in the shower, huh?
- I was fast asleep...
- Which one...
- I'm out...
- Okay.
Page 60
- Masaki, you're so cool, aren't you...
- Wha...
- What's this all of a sudden...
- !!
- Actually, you're even cuter than that.
- Wh-What! Are you teasing me?!
- Come to think of it, we haven't had dinner, have we...
- Shall we go to the convenience store or something?
- Yeah...
Page 61
- Alright then,
- shall we go?
- Still...
Page 62
- The two of us, out late at night like this...
- it's kind of...
- ...going out shopping in such casual clothes.
- It's like we're a college couple,
- so youthful...
- Hm?
Page 63
- I've never really done anything like this, and for someone my age to be saying it now... it's a bit silly, huh?
- Sorry.
- Never mind.
- I think it's nice.
- Oh, Shu...
- Let's do lots of youthful things together, starting now!
- I'm up for anything.
- That's the spirit.
- Anyway, let's figure out what to do after this later!
- What should we do? A BBQ? Something like that?
- Let's decide on what to eat!
- First,
- Right!
Page 64
- So, what are you having?
- Ramen!! Ramen after a night of drinking is the best, isn't it! Not that I've been drinking, though!
- ...
- Manager Tsuruse...?
- ?!
- Y-You're...

- To be continued in Volume 6!
Page 66
- On the Way Home From Work
- Masaki, it looks like tomorrow is Marine Day,
- so how about the beach?
- The beach?! I mean, I have a swimsuit, but...
- Let's go! In our swimsuits, if possible!
- A woman over 30 showing so much skin in public... It's a bit embarrassing...
- Please, I'm begging you...! I really want to see you wear it!
- Mmm... Oh, alright then.
- To the Beach, GO!
Page 67
- Beach Arrival
- A rash guard. This way, it's... somewhat okay... What do you think?
- You look amazing!
- But I'd love to see the swimsuit underneath too...
- Later, when no one else was around, he had her take off the rash guard.
Page 68
- She Took Off Her Cover-up For Him
- It's so embarrassing to show this much skin at my age...
- S-So... how do I look?
- Absolutely stunning!!
- I don't want anyone else to see you like this!
- Later, in a private spot, he took his time admiring her.
Page 69
- In a Secluded Spot
- It's still so embarrassing...
- But... since no one will come here,
- um...
- Just looking at you...
- Is it okay?
- After This, They Did... Various Things.
Page 70
- Halloween Special
- May God's blessings be upon you.
- Wow, a nun this year! So cute... If she's talking about blessings, does that mean she wants candy...? But...
- Ah, I'm sorry, I'm all out of candy...
- ...
- Your sins are forgiven.
- Because...
- Huh?
Page 71
- Instead...
- I'll be playing a trick on you...♥
- Masaki! You little devil! You were wearing something like this underneath?!
- After This, He Was Teased Mercilessly.
Page 72
- [1st Anniversary Extra]
- Masaki.
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you...
- Since it's your birthday, Masaki!
- ...To be honest, I'm getting past the age (3X) where I can be purely happy about another birthday, but...
- Huh?
- I'll grant you any one wish I possibly can!
- Anything...?!
- Well then...
Page 73
- I Want Us to Wear Cute Outfits Together
- S-So... how do I... look?
- So cute! You look wonderful!
- Cute clothes really suit you, Shu!
- Thank you.
- I've always dreamed of us wearing cute outfits together like this.
- Thank you!
- I-I'm glad.
- And So, a New Door Opened For Them.
