Dialogue in this work
Page 1
- When I was a kid, I had a best friend. We swore we'd be friends forever.
- Ten years ago, my family moved to America for my parents' work.
- And now, I've come back to my hometown by myself to enroll in a Japanese high school.
- My best friend's family runs an inn called "Koijiso," and they've agreed to let me stay in one of the rooms for a while.
- Reuniting with my best friend after ten years.
- I should be happy about this, but...
- I just never imagined that my best friend would be...
Page 2
- a girl.

- What's up, Eiske? Stop staring.
- What I didn't count on was...
- If you wanted a popsicle, you already had one.
- N-No way... Are you really Kuro? I can't believe it...
- Here, look.
- This is the scar I got when I fell in the river a long time ago.
- that her sense of personal space hasn't changed at all.
- What am I supposed to say to that...
- That's right.
Page 4
- Oh, and as for other proof...
- I guess there's the fact that whenever we played games, I always won.
- Is that so...
- I can't just let that slide.
- In my memory, I'm pretty sure I was ahead by about 10 wins, wasn't I?
- Well then, wanna play a match for old time's sake?
- You're on!
Page 5
- I said that, but...
- We're even playing on the same console from back then...!
- Hey! Why do you keep getting in my way!
- Well, doing things the other person hates is what gaming is all about.
- I see.
- Then I guess this is fair game too, right?
- What kind of logic is that?!
Page 6
- Damn it... I'm so distracted by these giant Puyo Puyos...
- I can't focus on the controls...
- And more than anything...
- She's way too close...!
Page 7
- Ah.
- Yeah! I win!
- Damn it... Distracting me like that is cheap...
- But you said doing things the other person hates is what gaming is all about, right?
- Don't copy me.
- This audacious attitude... there's no doubt she's Kuro...
- But if that's the case, then there's another problem...
- And that is... she's way too cute—
- ?
Page 8
- What if I were to tell Kuro I like her?
- If I did that...
- Huh? Gross... Looking at your best friend that way...
- If I get kicked out of the inn, I won't be able to go to high school in Japan...!
- If I get kicked out of the inn, I won't be able to go to high school in Japan...!
- That's why... I can't let myself fall for Kuro—
- Hey, something on your mind? If you want, you can talk to me about it.
- Okay, I need to calm down.
- No, I'm fine... Just need to use the bathroom.
- Go on, then.
- Um... I think the bathroom was this way.
Page 9
- Oh my... This is a problem...
- Is something wrong, Kuro's mom?
- Oh, hello, Eiske.
- Well, you see... we're one ayu short for the kaiseki dinner tonight...
- You're already letting me stay here, so...
- If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
- Well then, how about we go catch one?
- Kuro?!
- Where did you come from?
- Oh, thank you.
Page 10
- You said it yourself. Since you're borrowing a room, you should at least do that much.
- Damn... you heard that...?
- So, with that said, let's go!!
- Right now?!
- Come on, Eiske, hurry up!
- When we were little, we used to get through these woods in no time, right?
- Hey, wait up...
- I was in New York until yesterday, you know...?
Page 11
- Ah, we're here, we're here.
- So this is the place... It hasn't changed at all.
- Can you really catch ayu that easily?
- This river isn't managed by the fishing co-op.
- Just you watch.
Page 12
- Like this, you pile up rocks where the river is narrow.
- And you're done once you've made a path to guide them into the basket.
- Now all that's left is to chase them in from upstream.
- Okay, you give it a try.
- L-Like this?
- No, no.
- The ayu will just escape if you do it like that.
- You have to do it more like this.
- Ah, sorry.
- She's still the same hyperactive idiot as always...
Page 13
- There, now we're even.
- Hey?! I already said I was sorry!
- That's way more water! We're definitely not even!
- This means war!
- Haaah... this is just like old times. It's so nostalgic.
- I wish you'd realize your body isn't the same as it was back then...
- Ah.
- Anyway, if you chase them like this, the ayu will get caught in the net.
- Then what was all that time we just spent...?
Page 14
- My clothes are soaked. Maybe I'll go for a quick swim while they dry.
- Huh?
- Hey, what are you doing, suddenly taking your clothes off...
- She... she really hasn't changed at all.
- To take off her clothes without any hesitation...
- Just how much does she only see me as a best friend...?!
- Can I... really hold myself back if this keeps up...?
Page 15
- Ta-da!
- I was actually wearing a swimsuit underneath!
- What do you think? Surprised?
Page 16
- What am I thinking, having these thoughts about my best friend...?!
- I can't lose my one and only best friend over a fleeting emotion!
- You wanna swim too, Eiske?
- Come on, take it off, take it off.
- N-No way, I'm not wearing a swimsuit!
- I don't mind.
- We used to take baths together at my place back in the day.
- How long ago was that!
Page 17
- No, wait a minute...
- Isn't this a chance to prove that I don't see my best friend that way...?
- If that's the case, then I have no choice but to swim with her...
- Just kidding. It's not like we're kids anymore, we're not gonna go skinny dipping in the river.
- That was close!
- Oh well. Guess I'll go for a swim by myself.
- Don't go too far, okay?
- Don't treat me like a kid.
- She's such a kid...
- ...
Page 18
- Why won't he notice how hard I'm trying to get his attention...?!
Page 19
- Just like always, Eiske only sees me as a friend...
- I like him, so I studied up on what guys like just to get closer to him... Where did I go wrong...?
- He didn't seem to think anything of me in a swimsuit, either.
- But it would be even worse if he found out I like him and it ruined what we have now...
- But I still have a chance...
- We're going to be living together from now on, after all.
- I'm gonna make Eiske fall for me...!
Page 20
- Kuro!
- Eiske...?
- There's a frog on your butt.
- Aaaah!
Page 21
- Get it off, get it off!!
- O-Okay, just hold still!
- Hey, where are you touching me?!
- How am I supposed to get it off without touching you?!
- Haaah...
- Haaah...
- You saved me...
- But he remembered...
- ...that I'm scared of frogs.
Page 22
- The reason you fell and got hurt in the river back then was because of a frog, right?
- Thanks...
- You're my best friend. Of course I wouldn't forget.
- Yeah.
- I really do love him.
- Well then, should we head back?
- Yeah.
- Let's hop to it.
- Shut up.
- Ah, I forgot to bring a change of underwear.
- H-Hey!
Page 23
- Damn it...
- Kuro's gotten so damn cute...
- And her body's all grown up, too...
- What am I thinking?
- If I want to go to high school in Japan, I can't get kicked out of here!
- Coming in!
- Whoa?!
- I'm coming in, Eiske.
- Shouldn't you say that before you come in...?
Page 24
- Is that... a pillow?
- Oh, this?
- I still haven't talked with you enough, Eiske.
- So I thought we could sleep together tonight while we catch up on the last ten years.
- I'm not letting you sleep tonight, so be ready, okay?
- Don't you go saying that line to anyone else, you hear?
- Of course I wouldn't.
- Two best friends, both convinced that saying 'I love you' will destroy their relationship.
- Their borderline cohabitation begins—!!
