...*creak*U-umm<*
...*rattle*...<*
*rattle* *rattle*...</
I hear something...<*
*rattle* *creak*...<*
The sound rings out...<*
It's coming from within my heart...<*
...yes.<*
It certainly isn't normal.<*
My heart isn't normal, is it?<*
The empty, rattling sound continues...<*
This sound... is a sign of regret.<*
It rings out when the winds known as 'sin'...</
howl through those windmills broken by sorrow.<*
...yes.<*
I have a disease.<*
My heart isn't normal, is it?<*
The rattling sound continues...<*
This sound... is the sound of solitude...<*
A sad, lonely sound...<*
...yes.<*
Indeed, I am alone.<*
And so... my heart sings...</
It sings a lament...<*
To my loneliness, to my regrets.<*
I...<*
I...<*
I...<*
I...<*
That's why I pray...<*
"Someday..."<*
"May I be..."<*
"...called up to heaven..."<*
...amen...
<!

tx1
Ahh...<*
Man, I feel refreshed.<*
This thing they call 'sleep' is real neat, eh.</
Having a 'blissful life'?<*
Hah, as if...
<!

tx2
Voice: "...hey."<*
"Hahaha..."<*
Voice: "Hey!"<*
"...ha..."<*
*yawn*....!
<!

tx3
Voice: "Hey. You awake?"<*
I awaken with a start.</
A man with a familiar face stands before me.<*
"...Good morning, sir..."<*
Yikes, this is awkward...<*
The 'sir' in question let out a deep sigh.<*
Teacher: "Takano Fukamori... I've been a teacher</
          for a long time now."<*
Takano: "...and?"<*
Teacher: "And you're the first person I've ever</
          seen dozing off right in the middle of</
          a guidance counselling session."<*
Takano: "Huh... Looks like this marks a new page</
        in your life as a teacher.</
        Congratulations!"<*
Teacher: "Watch your mouth, brat!"<*
*Pow*!!<wv7<q<*
The teacher's punch connected squarely with</
Takano's solar plexus.<*
Takano: "Gaaaahh!?"</
With a thud, Takano was left writhing on the</
floor.<*
Teacher: "That's one of the weak points of the</
          human body. Remember this well."<*
Takano: "...I don't think I'll ever forget..."<*
Well, anyways, after all that.</
The guidance counselling continued.<*
Teacher: "So, what do you want to</
          do in the future?"<*
Takano: "Hmm... I think I'll become</
        President of the United States..."<*
..........<*
Teacher: "You're kidding, right."<*
Takano: "Good job figuring that one out."<*
Teacher: "You sure wanna learn about more</
          weak points of the body, don't you?"<*
Takano: "...I'm sorry, my bad."<*
Teacher: "Serious answers now."<*
Takano: "Bruce Willis... Just kiddin---"<*
*Gulp*!!<*
The teacher's fist whizzed by,</
and the curtains in the classroom all fluttered</
in unison.<*
Teacher: "There won't be a next time."</
He looks serious.<*
Takano: "Y..Yes!... U-umm..."<*
Takano's in a bit of trouble.<*
I had never really given it much thought before.<*
I try to think up a serious answer, but...<*
An alien?</
Oda Nobunaga?</
How about a king crab?</
Or maybe the levers used to open sluice gates?</
These silly answers are all that come to mind.</
It's a disease I have.<*
Teacher: "Come on, answer."<*
Takano: "Um..."<*
Teacher: "Hurry up..."<*
Takano: "Uh...y-you know...like, uh..."<*
Teacher: "...you have 10 seconds."<*
Takano: "Whaa-?!"<*
Now I'm panicking.<*
Ugh, anything's fine, I just need to come up</
with some sort of answer, or else... Aaaahhh!!
<!

tx4
Takano: "I'm sorry... I haven't thought about it</
        yet."<*
Teacher: "....."<*
Takano: "...Um?"<*
Teacher: "....."<*
Takano: "...Hel...lo?"<*
Teacher: "I see..."<*
Takano: "Eh...?"<*
Teacher: "Yep. That smart-alecky response, not</
          once, but twice. That sure is a case</
          of 'haven't thought about it', all</
          right."<*
Takano: "...my apologies..."<*
A moment passes...<*
Teacher: "Okay. I guess I can offer you a</
          deadline extension."<*
Takano: "Oh, a ded-line eks-tenshuhn, huh..."<*
Teacher: "Come back with an answer by tomorrow."<*
Takano: "Understood."<*
And with that, Takano's guidance counselling</
session came to an end.<*
Takano: "Well then, sir..."<*
Teacher: "...the deadline's tomorrow, make sure</
          you think it over properly."<*
Takano: "You can trust me. I'll have a proper</
        answer ready for you."<*
Teacher: "Sure. See you later, then."<*
Takano: "Goodbye, sir."
<!

tx5
Takano: "(Mnngh... I have until tomorrow, huh...)"<*
</</</
...y...<*
Takano: "(Aahh, what do I do...?</
        Can I come up with something sensible?)"<*
</</</
...ey...<*
Takano: "(Any more funny answers, and he's</
        definitely gonna kill me for real...)"<*
</</</
...hey...<*
Takano: "(...alright!)"<*
</</</
...Takano-kun, do you have a minute?...<*
Takano: "(Guess I'll go home and do some</
        fortune-telling to decide.)"<*
Thinking about it seriously just isn't an</
option, is it?<*
Voice: "Oh, just listen to me already!"<*
Takano: "Huh?"
<!

tx6
Takano suddenly noticed and looked in the</
direction of the voice, where he found a</
familiar girl waiting for him.<*
Girl: "I've been calling out to you for a while</
       now. What're you doing just standing</
       there?"<*
Takano: "...Oh, Hiyori, it's you.</
        Sorry 'bout that.</
        I was just a bit lost in thought."<*
Hiyori: "Sheesh."<*
The girl named Hiyori glared at Takano with a</
pout on her face.<*
Takano: "So, Hiyori, what brings you here?"<*
Hiyori: "What, you ask... You dummy!"<*
Takano: "Dummy?...Me?"<*
Hiyori: "Yeah, you.</
         Are you sure your head hasn't expired?</
         You know, passed its best-before date?"<*
Takano: "Why are you so rude to me all the time?</
        You didn't have to go that far."<*
Hearing this, Hiyori's expression changed from</
angry to sad.<*
Hiyori: "...You really don't remember...?"<*
.......<*
.......<*
.......<*
Takano: "(I... remember now.)"<*
It suddenly came back to me.<*
Takano: "Right, I was free after school, so I</
        think I asked her if she wanted to go</
        hang out somewhere."<*
If the guy who came up with the plans forgot,</
it's pointless.<*
Hiyori: "So you finally remembered."<*
Takano: "Yeah.</
        Well, you see, there were a lot of</
        complicated discussions I had to go</
        through..."<*
Hiyori: "Oh, quit making excuses.</
         ...Seriously. Any normal girl would've</
         snapped and gone home already."<*
Takano: "Umm, I am most grateful for your</
        kindness."<*
Hiyori: "Well, okay.</
         It's not like this is the first time</
         Takano's being stupid."<*
Takano: "What a good friend I have.</
        Truly, your magnanimity knows no bounds."<*
Hiyori: "Still, I'm gonna make sure you pay for</
         the sin of forgetting."<*
Takano: "...right."<*
Hiyori: "I wanna try the red bean jelly from</
         Juryan Confectioners."<*
Takano: "Whaaat?"<*
Hiyori: "What? You got a problem with that?"<*
Takano: "...none at all."<*
Hiyori: "Hehehe."<*
And so, it appears that Hiyori's mood has been</
lifted.<*
Hiyori: "So, where are we headed?"<*
Takano: "Let's see..."
<!

tx7
Hiyori: "Takano-kuuun."<*
Takano: "Hm? What is it?"<*
Hiyori: "I really...</
         Really! Love you!!"<*
Takano: "What are you talking about!</
        Me too, of course!!"<*
Hiyori: "Yaaay!!!"<*
So that's how it went.<*
The two of them fell in love,</
and lived happily ever after.
<!

tx8
Hiyori: "...."<*
Takano: "...What's wrong?"<*
Hiyori: "I quit."<*
Takano: "Huh?"<*
Hiyori: "I'm not going."<*
Takano: "Wh...why?"<*
Hiyori: "...I've had enough of you."<*
Takano: "Wha?"<*
Hiyori: "I said, I've had enough of you!!"<*
Takano: "Oh..."<*
Hiyori: "I'm never talking to you again!!"<*
Takano: "...Understood.</
        So next time we meet, it'll be as</
        enemies?"<*
Hiyori: "You can take it that way."<*
Takano: "...farewell."<*
.........<*
I don't really understand why, but...<*
It looks like the two of us broke it off with</
each other.
<!

tx9
Takano: "I want to..."<*
Teacher: "You want to?"<*
Takano: "I want to take over the world."<*
Teacher: "...Huh..."<*
.....<*
Takano: "Ju..."<*
Teacher: " 'Just kidding'...is *definitely* not</
          what you were gonna say, were you?"<*
Indeed. At that moment, in my eyes, it seemed as</
though my teacher's fist was blazing up,</
raring to go.<*
Takano: "Ju..."<*
Teacher: "...Ju?"<*
And his knuckles flared, menacingly but</
elegantly, like an eagle spreading its wings...<*
Takano: "Just..."<*
Teacher: "...Just!?"<*
It felt like a bolt of lightning or something,</
shall we say...<*
I am now a mere frog being watched by a snake,</
or a banana being watched by a monkey...<*
Takano: "Just...how crazy would you have to be</
        to say something like that, huh..."<*
His fist came to a stop right in front of</
my eyes.<*
Takano: "...I'm being serious.</
        I want to take over the world."<*
Teacher: "..."<*
In the end, it was a desperate attempt to stall</
for time... Takano's life hung by a thread.<*
....<*
...is what was expected.<*
to happen.<*
Teacher: "...I understand."<*
Takano: "Eh?"<*
Teacher: "I guess you just recklessly blurted</
          out another dumb answer, didn't you."<*
Takano: "...It's...not...like that..."<*
Bull's-eye, teach.</
Getting serious about this is scary.<*
Teacher: "But if you're serious about this,</
          I'll take it."<*
Takano: "...right."<*
Teacher: "World domination..."<*
Takano: "......"<*
Teacher: "I have high hopes from you."<*
Takano: "...wha?"<*
Teacher: "Yep, really."<*
Takano: "Whaaat!?"<*
Ignoring Takano's surprise, the teacher whistles.<*
And then.</
Suddenly, a lukewarm wind blew in from</
outside the window and swept down the hallway.<*
The silence that descends...</
is a little eerie.<*
Teacher: "I just-"<*
Takano: "?"<*
Teacher: "I just called in some help."<*
Takano: "...was that what the whistle was for?"<*
He nodded.<*
Teacher: "They're waiting for you in the hallway.</
          Go on, then."<*
Takano: "Eh?"<*
Teacher: "They're just the right person to help</
          you take over the world."<*
Takano: "...right."<*
Teacher: "Well, then."<*
Takano: "...Understood."<*
Takano, overwhelmed by the atmosphere and unable</
to protest, decided to step out into the</
hallway for now.
<!

tx#
Takano: "(...Hey...anybody there...?)"<*
He seemed to called out.<*
Takano: "(To put it bluntly, this is ridiculous.</
        But.</
        If he said so, then I guess...j"<*
Voice: "So it's you."<*
Takano: "Hm?"<*
Voice: "It's you, isn't it?"<*
Takano: "(...Are you the one who was summoned</
        to help me?)"<*
Voice: "At least answer me first!!"<*
*Wham*!!<q<*
Takano: "Ow!"
<!

tx$
When I turned around, I saw a mysterious sort</
of person there in front of me.<*
Voice: "You're the guy who made a contract with</
        me, right?"<*
Takano: "...Yes?"<*
Voice: "My name is Helen.</
        As can be seen, I'm..."<*
Takano: "...some weird-looking lady..."<*
Helen: "Fool! I'm a demon!"<*
Takano: "Huuuh...A demon cosplay...laaame"<*
Helen: "Aarghh!!"<*
--she said, pulling at her hair...<*
Helen: "Why, you--! Don't underestimate</
        us demons!"<*
A bit soon for her to be saying that, but--</
she started chanting some mysterious spell.<*
Helen: "jffj;mmjjf"<*
Takano: "(...What, what is this)"<*
Helen: "wpj;:fwpwq"<*
Takano: "(...hmm?)"<*
Helen: "f;wjrpqqF"<*
Takano: "...My head...kinda itches"<*
I scratch my head, but to no avail.<*
Takano: "...aaaahhhh..."<*
The itchiness is now unbearable.</
I keep scratching and scratching, but there is no relief.<*
Takano: "Aarghhh, it's itchy!! It's itching inside my head!"<*
Eventually, Takano begins to writhe and squirm.<*
Helen: "How do you like that? That was the</
        'Itch-a-Brain' technique!"<*
Takano: "Th-this is... nothing..."<*
Helen: "Hiyaaahh!!"<*
Helen intensifies the hex even more.<*
Takano: "Ughhh! AAAGGGHHHH!!"<*
Takano is about to go insane.<*
Takano: "I...I get it already! I believe ya...</
        I believe you!"<*
Hearing this, a satisfied smile spread across</
Helen's face.<*
Helen: "Very well."<*
She lifted the hex.<*
Helen: "So, what do you think?"<*
Takano: "You... you seem to be the real deal."<*
Helen: "You believe me now, don't you."<*
Takano: "(Why is our teacher in communion with</
        demons?)"<*
--was the question running through Takano's mind.<*
Helen: "So... you say you want to take over the</
        world?"<*
Takano: "Huh? How did you know?"<*
I don't remember telling you.<*
Helen: "I heard from the man who summoned me."<*
Takano: "...What?"<*
Helen: "Oh? You appear to be confused."<*
Takano: "?"<*
Helen: "When that man was summoning me, he</
        whistled, did he not?"<*
Takano: "Uh-huh."<*
Helen: "Well, I understood the gist of the</
        situation from its tone."<*
Takano: "Whaa-!?"<*
That's a demon for you!</
... Wait a second, what I should be saying is,</
who the heck even is our teacher?<*
And with that...<*
Takano: "So there you have it.</
        I guess I kinda have to conquer the</
        world now, somehow."<*
Helen: "I see."<*
Takano: "So how would I go about doing that?"<*
Helen: "Well, what do you think I'm here for?</
        Leave all of that to me, OK?"<*
Takano: "Okay, so what do you want me to do?"<*
Helen: "First... we start with doing something</
        evil."<*
Takano: "Huh? Why?"<*
Helen: "Well, you see, to take over the world,</
        wielding god-like power is a necessity."<*
Takano: "Uh-huh."<*
Helen: "And I happen to hold that power."<*
Takano: "Oh, wow! You do?"<*
Helen: "However..."<*
Takano: "...however?"<*
Helen: "The source of your power is your karma."<*
Takano: "what?"<*
Helen: "And you do not currently have enough</
        karma to fully manifest my power."<*
Takano: "...What is this karma thing?"<*
Helen: "Oh, just think of it as something that</
        increases whenever you do something evil."<*
Takano: "Aren't you skipping over a lot of</
        details there?"<*
Helen: "fp@,wk;lw;lfg:w"<*
Takano: "Aaahhh! S-sorry!!"<*
The demon clearly held all the power here.<*
Helen: "So, in conclusion,</
        you're going to be doing a lot of evil</
        things from now on."<*
Takano: "Right..."<*
Helen: "Alright, where shall we start?"
<!

tx%
Helen: "Takano!"<*
Takano: "Hm?"<*
Helen: "I know it's a bit sudden to say this,</
        but... you sure have got some guts!</
        I think... I think I've really taken a</
        fancy to you!!"<*
Takano: "Me too! As of this moment, I'm deeply</
        in love with you!!"<*
Helen: "Yahoo!!"<*
So that's how it went.<*
The two of them fell in love,</
and conquered the world together, etc.
<!

tx&
Helen: "Hah? What's with that?"<*
Takano: "What do you mean?"<*
Helen: "Where's your determination?</
        At this rate, you're not gonna be</
        conquering the world even in a</
        thousand years!"<*
Takano: "Ugh, you get mad at every little thing,</
        you..."<*
Helen: "Ohhh! You're looking for a fight now,</
        aren't you!"<*
Takano: "Bring it, you monster!"<*
Helen: "clf,k:,lr;"<*
Takano: "Ack! Noooooo!!"<*
.........<*
Oh, well.<*
Humans and demons don't get along too well.</
So that's how it went.<*
*clash* *clang*...
<!

tx:
Takano: "I want to become a hero."<*
........<*
Takano: "(Oh, man... I went and blurted out</
        something stupid again without learning</
        my lesson.)<*
Takano: "(This is...bad...)"<*
........<*
Teacher: "...I knew you'd say that."<*
Takano: "...what!?"<*
The rather unexpected line left Takano puzzled.<*
Takano: "U-umm...?"<*
Teacher: "Y'know...</
          I've always thought you were more than</
          just an ordinary high-schooler."</
Teacher: "I feel like you can pull off something</
          big, achieve something great."<*
Takano: "Hello?"<*
Teacher: "A long time ago... I wanted to become</
          a hero, too."<*
Takano: "You did!?"<*
Teacher: "But I ended up giving up halfway</
          through...</
          Ahh... If only there had been a</
          Demon Lord around back then."<*
Takano: "....."<*
Teacher: "But hey, Takano.</
          You'll have more luck. These are</
          turbulent times, and darkness covers</
          the world."<*
Takano: "I've never heard of anything like that..."<*
Teacher: "Shaddup!!</
          Now listen."<*
Takano: "Yes...."<*
Teacher: "You...</
          Did you know that the Demon Lord came</
          back recently?"<*
.......<*
Takano: "Sir...are you sure you're sober...?"<*
Teacher: "Well, have a look at this."<*
The teacher pulls out a newspaper.<*
Upon seeing the article printed in it,</
Takano is shocked.<*
"The Demon Lord Has Returned!</
Is The End Of The World Near?"<*
Takano: "...no way."<*
Teacher: "Now's your chance! This is a</
          once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"<*
Takano: "No waaay."<*
Teacher: "If you take advantage of this</
          situation and defeat the Demon Lord,</
          you'll become a hero overnight</
          in one go!"</
Teacher: "As a former mentor who's helped</
          train many heroes, I-"<*
Takano: "You gotta be kidding me."<*
Teacher: "I'm telling you, Takano!</
          If you're serious about this, I'll</
          do my best to back you up."<*
An indescribable atmosphere took hold</
of the scene...<*
Takano mustered all his courage and opened</
his mouth.<*
Takano: "...I...don't think I want to become..."<*
*Pow*!!<wv7<q<*
The teacher's fist struck Takano right in</
the forehead.<*
Takano: "Gyaahhh!!"<*
*tumble* *thud* *tumble*...<*
Teacher: "I don't like kids who don't listen</
          after being told once."<*
Takano: "...You... Well, why don't you go and</
        defeat the Demon Lord then, huh?"<*
Teacher: "No can do.</
          I mean, it ain't a good look for an</
          oldie like me to be running around</
          heroing, you know."<*
Takano: "Okay, but there's no need to force it</
        on your students, though."<*
Teacher: "Aren't you the one who started it?</
          "I want to become a hero."</
          ...you said."<*
Takano: "Well now I'm saying I don't..."<*
Teacher: "Oh..."<*
...!!<wv7<q<*
Teacher: "...You don't care about your</
          teacher's dreams?..."<*
...!!!<wv7<q<*
Takano: "Oww...I'm sorry."<*
Takano stopped resisting.<*
........<*
And so...<*
Teacher: "Yes...that's right...Yes, please..."<*
The teacher is on the phone, he seems to be</
making some sort of request.<*
Teacher: "Yeah... Okay then, see you."<*
The teacher put the phone down and hung up.<*
Takano: "..."<*
3 hours later...<*
The teacher just sat still, not moving a muscle,</
waiting for something.<*
Takano: "...Sir, how much longer...?"<*
Takano is starting to get restless.<*
Takano: "Sir..."<*
With a start, the teacher suddenly opened his</
eyes wide.<*
Teacher: "Huh, yeah, good morning."<*
Takano: "You fell asleep!"<*
Teacher: "Oh, sorry... Well, shouldn't be much</
          longer now."<*
Teacher: "About another hour, perhaps."<*
Takano: "Siiiirrrr!!"<*
...Oof.<*
Teacher: "The preparations should be ready</
          about now. Go check in the hallway,</
          there should be everything you need</
          for your journey."<*
Takano: "...Sir, do I really... have to go?"<*
Teacher: "Oh, what's this? You still don't feel</
          up to it?"<*
Takano sensed a real threat to his life.<*
Takano: "Kidding, just kidding!! I'm sorry!! I'm</
        on my way!!"<*
And with that, he left the classroom.
<!

tx-
I exited the classroom,</
and in front of me lay three treasure chests.<*
Takano: "...seriously?"<*
Takano is dumbfounded.<*
Takano: "...No choice, then.</
        Let's try and see what this hero stuff</
        is about!"<*
Takano readied himself, and opened the chest.<*
Takano: "Hnnggh-!"<*
Chest #1...<wv6<*
It contained leather armour.<*
Takano: "There's definitely no way I'm walking</
        around wearing this in public."<*
Chest #2...<wv6<*
It contained a Japanese sword.<*
Takano: "Is it okay to be violating the</
        Firearms Control Law or whatever...?"<*
And finally, chest #3....<*
*rattle*...<*
Takano: "Huh?"<*
*rattle* *rattle*....<*
Takano: "Is..."<*
*rattle* *rattle* *rattle*...<*
Takano: "Is something in there!?"<*
Voice: "Open meee---"<*
Takano: "Woah!? It spoke?!"<*
Voice: "Opeeen meeee---"<*
Takano: "..."<*
Voice: "...Can't...breathe..."<*
Of course, he couldn't just ignore these cries</
for help.<*
Takano: "...Dear God."<*
Takano mustered his courage, and opened</
the chest...<wv6
<!

tx?
Voice: "Haah! ...Y-you saved me..."<*
What emerged from the chest was a strange,</
peculiar cat-woman.<*
Takano could hear several threads of his sanity</
snapping.<*
Takano: "...who the heck are you?"<*
Voice: "Fuuya.</
        Fuuya the mage.</
        Pleased to meet you."<*
A few more threads snapped.<*
Takano: "...Well, these are strange times.</
        A Demon Lord's afoot, after all.</
        One monster or two, it's all the same..."<*
Fuuya: "A monster, you say...? That's mean..."<*
Takano: "Huh?"<*
Fuuya: "You're meeaann."<*
Takano: "Oh, shut up.</
        With that appearance of yours, let's</
        see if you can explain it any other way."<*
Fuuya: "...uuu..."<*
You have no self-confidence, do you...<*
Takano: "Oh well, whatever.</
        So, why were you inside that treasure</
        chest?"<*
Fuuya: "..."<*
Takano: "What is it."<*
Fuuya: "...Please listen to me!</
        It is a tale that will move the both of</
        us to tears!"<*
Fuuya: "*haah*, alright...now."<*
"I was summoned by Teacher over the phone.</
So I came over, bringing the chests with me.</
Then I got into one of them as a joke, but got</
stuck and couldn't come out."<*
"The end..."<*
Takano: "So. What's actually in the chest?"<*
Fuuya: "Uuh... please don't just brush me off</
        like that..."<*
Takano: "Oh, shut up, you dumb cat-woman."<*
Fuuya: "How mean...</
        And I even went to the trouble of</
        coming all the way here to become your</
        ally..."<*
Takano: "I don't recall asking for a cat-monster</
        to become my ally."<*
Fuuya: "What did you say!</
        Look at these cat ears!</
        And on top of that, I'm a magical girl,</
        too!<*
Fuuya: "What could you possibly have to complain</
        about such a beautiful girl?"<*
Takano: "Okay. So what's in the chest?"<*
Fuuya: "Don't ignore me like that..."<*
Takano: "Oh, fine.</
        Alright already.</
        I'll let you become my ally."<*
Fuuya: "Thank you sooo muuuch!"<*
Takano was getting pretty annoyed at this point,</
so he decided to put up with it.<*
Takano: "Alright. Now, what's in the chest?"<*
Fuuya: "There was money."<*
Takano: "There *was* money?"<*
Fuuya: "Yes..."<*
Takano: "......"<*
Fuuya: "....."<*
Takano: "......"<*
Fuuya: "....."<*
Takano: "......"<*
Fuuya: "...I was hungry."<*
Takano: "How much was there?"<*
Fuuya: "100,000 yen... or so."<*
Takano: "And how much is left?"<*
Fuuya: "...Chinese food is pretty expensive,</
        isn't it?"<*
Takano: "How much is left?"<*
Fuuya: "...."<*
Takano: "How much is left!?"<*
Fuuya: "...H-here..."<*
8,800 yen.<*
Takano: "Why, you..."<*
Fuuya: "No...Um...I can explain..."<*
Takano: "Drop dead!!"<*
Fuuya: "Nooooo!!"<*
<wv7........<q<*
<wv7.....<q<*
<wv7..<q<*
<wv7.<q<*
Several minutes later...<*
Takano: "Oh, fine!</
        I give up, I'll just pretend it never</
        existed!"<*
Fuuya: "Uguuu..."<*
You jerk...<*
Takano: "Well then, we better get going."<*
Fuuya: "...Whew...</
        What should we do first?"<*
Takano: "Let's see..."
<!

tx,
Fuuya: "....Takano-san."<*
Takano: "....Fuuya."<*
Fuuya: "What an educated question...</
        Won. Der. Ful.</
        I've fallen in love!"<*
Takano: "Alright! If you love me that much,</
        let's get married!"<*
Fuuya: "Yaaay!"<*
And, well... after this, the two of them</
saved the world and found happiness.<*
Oh, let's cut to the chase!</
And they lived happily!</
Ever! After!
<!

tx.
Takano: "So, what do you think?"<*
Fuuya: "Yes, uhm, let's see..."<*
Takano: "Hey, what's up?"<*
Fuuya: "....*cough* *hack*!!"<*
*Thud*!<q<*
Fuuya suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed</
to the floor.<*
Takano: "W-what happened!?"<*
Fuuya: "Uughh...the damage from earlier..."<*
Takano: "...what?"<*
Takano let out a cry,</
and tried to shake Fuuya awake.<*
Takano: "H-hey!?"<*
But Fuuya had already stopped breathing.<*
Takano: "...I screwed up..."<*
Takano: "I really screwed up!?"<*
Takano fled and ran away.<*
He was never seen again...<*
I wonder... if things are okay this way.
