they meet girls replied that there were many websites And they just needed to find someone who seemed decent isumi added that these websites often reveal a person's real identity just as so leaned back a bit he noticed that his bag was caught on the pendant of a girl's bag she apologized and offered it for free he reassured her saying it was fine she insisted on paying for it and apologized again so declined mentioning that it was just an ornament so she didn't need to worry about it as he said goodbye Soo moved Over to his

least take a look kogre remarked that something was happening at the entrance as they approached they all noticed a cute girl waiting there they wondered who she was waiting for one of them joked about wanting to change schools while another called him a fool as isumi and the other two approached the girl Soo recognized her as the girl From the day before she explained that she had been looking for him and guessed he was from their school based on his attire which had garnered more attention than she had expected s remarked that being from a

boy's only School tended to draw notice the girl then apologized for the incident from the previous day Soo reassured her that everything was fine and she didn't need to apologize just then Soo noticed isumi and Koga leaving the girl mentioned that there was Something else she wanted to discuss and asked if she could borrow a bit of his time since they were attracting too much attention in the open she suggested they talk in a quieter corner so agreed and they moved to a secluded spot once there the girl confessed that she was worried about startling

him with her sudden approach but wanted to be honest as so took a good look at her he thought she was very pretty and secretly wished he could date someone like her she Confessed that she had fallen in love with him at first sight so blushed upon hearing this she explained that after seeing him the previous day she couldn't help but feel that her feelings were Genuine s mentioned that he didn't know her at all she agreed saying that she wasn't asking for an immediate answer and just wanted to get to know him better if

after getting to know each other he still wasn't interested she promised to respect that and move on she Started started by expressing her desire to be friends giving him her number and adding that he could discard it if he found it bothersome accepting the note Soo thought that starting his youth with such a surprise might not be a bad idea perhaps he could finally get a girlfriend as he had always wanted and feel like a normal person he thanked her sincerely for the gesture Koga and isumi observed the interaction between s and Arisa Koga remarked

that regardless of How they looked at it it was a confession isumi added that based on s's expression there was an 80% % chance of that being true kogre jok that he was relieved it didn't escalate into an awkward situation isumi explained that they always kept an eye out for their friends romantic opportunities Arisa introduced herself as a sophomore and so reciprocated with his own introduction he mentioned that they would eventually become friends so there was no need for Honorifics Arisa agreed and mentioned that she needed to head home soon to catch the bus she

apologized for taking up his time and hoped he would contact her just then a boy running past accidentally collided with Arisa from behind causing her to lose her balance and fall on to Sao he felt it was a rather unfortunate situation as he couldn't move as they lay there on the road Arisa quickly apologized and got up Koga humorously commented that such a Situation was often referred to as a lucky pervert moment as they approached Arisa she was surprised to see them isumi explained that they were just passing by coincidentally witnessing the scene Arisa mentioned

that someone had pushed her causing her to fall on to S and she wondered what she should do isumi asked if she was hurt to which Arisa replied that she was fine isumi reassured her that Sao was also fine but Arisa still looked uneasy kogre remarked That he didn't think s wanted to be seen after such a mishap Arisa apologized for not realizing that earlier and decided it was time for her to go home so seemed visibly shaken and they decided to move him away from the scene KOB encouraged s not to be afraid s

feeling overwhelmed expressed his shame at being embarrassed by a girl they found a bench in the garden to sit down where s apologized for troubling them kobre reassured him saying he didn't need to worry Soo Opened up about how he felt fine interacting with store clerks or unfamiliar women always convincing himself that he was a normal boy like everyone else however the recent events made him realize he couldn't just go back to feeling normal overwhelmed by these emotions he started to cry isumi reassured Soo that they didn't see him differently because of what happened the

next morning Koga and isumi sat together in school Koga mentioned that such Incidents hadn't happened to S since middle school and it had been three years since they transferred to an all boy high school he thought it was normal for S to want a girlfriend now especially considering how happy s always seemed when they talked about girls however Koga also wondered if s was perhaps forcing himself into this desire which made him question if they had done something wrong isumi responded by saying that they hadn't done anything Wrong up until then they had only tried

to protect so especially after what happened with that teacher Soo came to school thinking he would be a normal guy and act as he always did he opened the classroom door and remarked about how he didn't receive any scam messages that day questioning whether that was a good or bad thing kogan noted that cedo seemed cheerful that day isumi then asked if cedo had called Arisa the previous day cedo replied that he hadn't Called her but had saved her number Kat cedo calling him cruel for not telling her they could start his friends which might

make her think he rejected her cedo explained that he had acted strangely the previous day so he was certain she wasn't interested in anything with him and he couldn't even bid her farewell properly feeling certain she now hated him Koga disagreed saying he didn't think that was the case isumi commented that it would have been Better if cedo had sent Arisa a message if he was concerned about that Koga advised cedo not to overthink things and suggested that a simple thank you for the previous day would have sufficed cedo reflected and thought about how he

wanted to get to know a a better so they could truly become friends experience a normal romance and prove that he could also lead a normal life after spending three hours contemplating his response he returned home with a rather mundane And business-like message to send to a member of the opposite gender for the first time in his life he realized that she had replied in a friendly Manner and was genuinely kind Koga asked cedo about the Sigh and inquired if it was about Arisa and if cedo was still in contact with her cido explained that

they had been in touch for about a week week isumi noticed that cedo didn't seem excited expecting him to be much more enthusiastic cedo replied that he had Been about five times happier until the previous day he then showed them the text from Arisa asking to meet and talk isumi remarked on her assertiveness noting that she was already asking him out Koga pointed out that the tone of the conversation seemed normal so he doubted it was a date cedo asked if it was all right for him to meet her Koga suggested they accompany him but

cedo declined questioning if there were who would bring along their Guardians to Meet a girl Koga said that if something similar happened again they could consider it eventually the three of them approached the school nurse Mia and shared everything seeking her advice isumi mentioned that Mia knew about cedo's past Mia confirmed that she had been informed during the interview with cedo's family Koga added that cedo had recently encountered a girl resulting in a relapse Mia expressed sympathy acknowledging how difficult that must Have been cedo explained that he was currently feeling okay because Zumi and Koga

had helped calm him down he mentioned that it was his first relapse since starting High School which had caught him off guard amidst all that the girl had asked him out on a date to which Mia offered congratulations cedo pondered what he should do if a similar situation arose again expressing his determination not to run away and to do his best he sought Mia's opinion on Whether it was good to meet her again poga and isumi indicated they weren't opposed to it although they were concerned isumi asked if there were any precautions they could take

Mia inquired if they harbored any fears when interacting with others cedo denied this fear but Mia probed further asking if he was afraid of girls cedo replied that he wanted a girlfriend Nia remarked that it was a quick response and she noted that cedo seemed to have no issues with Everyday life in an all boy school and didn't appear to have gamophobia either that means it was a panic attack triggered by conditions that stimulate trauma if it's someone he could trust he could explain his circumstances to them and once there's understanding standing his safety would

be secured however the chance of him getting hurt was also High Nia then advised cedo to avoid abrupt contact first and foremost she emphasized that they couldn't ignore the Recent panic attack and advised cedo to pay close attention Nia didn't think it was necessary to lie and say he's a clean freak instead she suggested explaining that he wasn't comfortable with such close contact and that some girls can be overly clingy Ceda wondered if Mia was also afraid of girls he asked if telling the other party that he didn't want to be touched would make him

excessively self-conscious neir responded that he wasn't a girl and a Guy should be okay with being touched by others she found the logic there strange and noted that it would amount to gender discrimination against oneself and others when it comes to protecting one's body There's no distinction between men and women then cedo agreed with Mia expressing his gratitude as he got up feeling more relaxed he mentioned that he planned to reply to Arisa now that he was in a better State of Mind Koga joked that it would take another 3 hours isumi Thanked Mia for

listening and Mia welcomed him warmly cedo noted that they were approaching the end of lunch break urging them to hurry as they left before parting ways Mia encouraged cedo for wanting to do his best and expressed hope for his Improvement she reminded him to strive for normaly the next day cedo decided to meet Arisa as he waited for her he pondered whether it was appropriate to date her when he wasn't certain about her feelings for him yet He resolved to follow me as advice about becoming comfortable with close cont contct when Arisa arrived with two

drinks she remarked that cedo had arrived early he agreed explaining that his home room had ended sooner Arisa then presented him with a choice between Cafe o late and milk tea cedo thanked her feeling surprised that this interaction happened sooner than he anticipated he contemplated touching her hand wondering if she would be okay with It recalling that he had been fine with touching things while shopping Arisa asked him to pick a drink Arisa apologized explaining that the colors of the drinks were the same making it hard to distinguish between them she decided to check the

side of the drink to see if it was labeled in doing so she accidentally knocked over the other drink prompting cedo to quickly reach out and grab her hand to prevent it from falling they both blushed at the sudden Contact and Arisa remarked that it was a nice save cedo then chose the drink that was saved and asked about the price Arisa insisted that it was fine and suggested he think of it as her treat since she had invited him out unexpectedly cedo thanked her and couldn't help but think she was keep cute he touched

her hand reflexively but didn't dwell on whether he was overthinking it they then proceeded to the bookstore followed by the play area And finally ended up at a restaurant while eating Arisa complimented cedo's skills to which he replied that he often visited arcades with his friends Arisa then expressed her concern wondering if she came across as weird or difficult to get along with cedo asked her to clarify what she meant she replied that throughout her time in an all girls high school she hadn't had a single male friend let alone a boyfriend her heart had

been racing all day so she was Relieved that cedo was someone she could talk to easily cedo reciprocated admitting that he didn't have much experience interacting with girls and could only last two seconds when looking into their eyes Arisa was pleased to hear this and remarked that they were more alike than she had initially thought cedo then asked why she thought he would be a good match for her she recounted the time their bags got caught together seeing it as a sign of fate and Admiring how stylishly he dealt with the problem likening him to

a prince in her eyes Ceda wondered if he really seemed like a stylish Prince Arisa quickly apologized asking him not to be disgusted to which cedo reassured her that he was fine and found her romantic gestures endearing he couldn't help but think she was quite the Romantic girl herself Arisa complimented cedo praising his kindness cooking skills and liveliness saying he was like the man of Her dreams cedo inwardly acknowledged that this wasn't exactly how he felt about himself nevertheless Arisa expressed her desire to keep getting to know him better to which cedo agreed feeling intrigued

by the prospect Arisa was so glad that they could talk about a lot of different things right from the start she admitted that she wasn't used to talking to guys and it was embarrassing for her she realized that if she tried to show off at that time She would be the one suffering later on just then some of ais's friends arrived and teased her about being with her boyfriend assuming that's why she had left the classroom in a hurry that day thinking she had a date with him Arisa clarified that they were still just friends

her friends playfully questioned what just friends meant and smiled mischievously at Arisa cedo felt uneasy with the sudden presence of so many girls one of arisa's friends apologized For interrupting and upon looking at cedo recognized him Arisa asked the girl if she already knew cido the friend explained that they had attended the same middle school and wondered how cedo was doing noting that it seemed like he had applied to an all boys school and that must have been a huge relief for him she then asked cedo if he still remembered her cedo wonders about a

classmate from his middle school and the year they were in as her face looks Familiar but he can't recall her name he remembers that after he was treated poorly by a girl he didn't attend that school for a whole year he then apologizes to Arisa and says that he is leaving just as he leaves Arisa asks her friend to pay the bill promising to reimburse them later they agree and ask her to go after cedo the girl wonders what happened to cedo and if the rumors were true Arisa catches up with cido asking if he's

feeling unwell when she Touches him being abrupt he tells her not to touch him upon realizing that it was Arisa he apologizes and rushes away thinking that he has messed everything up at school Koga asks if cedo's emotions are like riding a roller coaster isumi asks who would have thought that cedo would meet his middle school classmate there cedo explains that he only remembers her face not her name kogre remarks that it seems Arisa had special connections cedo mentions That everything was fine until then and that he was sure it would be even more more

enjoyable if they actually dated kogre reassures cedo not to worry saying that it was just an unfortunate incident and that his uncertain feelings towards Arisa might be balancing out isumi adds that there's a chance the classmate cedo might have told Arisa about his past and probably no one else knows exactly what happened to him although there were light rumors when cedo didn't show up to School Koga emphasizes that cedo didn't do anything wrong isumi agrees telling cido that he won't know how others interpreted the news through gossip and there's a good chance they added humor

or exaggerated the story cedo contemplates how Arisa might have reacted to the news negatively he admits that he's scared to find out later at home he receives a message from Arisa asking if she upset him Ceda wonders if she'll think he's strange for leaving Abruptly without contacting her afterward especially since she doesn't know anything he apologizes to her and asks if she heard anything about him from her friend she replied that she only knew they were from the same middle school then asked if something happened between que a and cedo in the past cedo denied

it and apologized for leaving abruptly and being rude to her friends by not even greeting them just as Arisa called him he was taken aback he Accepted the call and Arisa explained that she was so worried she couldn't hold back and had to call asking if he was free at that moment he replied that he was in his room Arisa mentioned they had recently met so she didn't expect him to divulge everything but she appreciated his apologies advising him to take it easy and not feel the need to be so considerate all the time she

asked if he didn't have fun hanging out together to which he replied that he did Indeed have fun Arisa suggested they hang out again sometime and cedo agreed Arisa mentioned she was heading home so she ended the call thanking him for picking up he thanked her as well and then hung up feeling relieved and lying down unable to think clearly Arisa pondered that something was definitely a Miss back then deciding not to be too overwhelming and to approach him cheerfully as those weren't wrong things to do but rather frightening she Admitted she didn't quite understand

guys cedo wondered if that was love the scene shifts to the classroom where cedo is seated contemplating what he could do to find the answer even if he were to ask himself the question he wonders how he should tell her would it be weird if he just sprung that on her suddenly he overhears mitsuki telling Saka that he should confess to the girl it's been a while since he was last confessed to and he really should tell her that he wants To date her again Saka replies that he doesn't really have those feelings mitsuki asks

why not stating that it's a waste to turn her down cedo thinks that he's in the same situation as well then cedo makes eye contact with mitsuki prompting mitsuki to ask if cedo feels the same Saka tells mitsuki not to drag cido into it cido admits that he doesn't actually know much about love mitsuki remarks that cedo is a late bloomer as well and encourages him not to hesitate To come to him if he has any love problems as mitsuki is known as the love Master Saka comments that mitsuki is a Playboy cedo proposed an

example what if they were confessed to but the person didn't intend to start dating right away suggesting to start off as friends instead after some time feelings develop mitsuki commented that it was oddly specific Saka asked about the significance of the example mitsuki explained that in the example the girl Initially approached cedo but now both of them have mutual feelings for each other cedo speculated that mitsuki had encountered a similar situation mitsuki replied that there was only one answer he had to thank her for waiting and express his own feelings suggesting let's date the scene

then shifts to Arisa and her friend the friend asked Arisa if cedo was a good guy knowing that she had feelings for him but he still seemed indecisive Arisa replied That she had already spoken to cedo so it was fine if they started off as friends first the friend remarked that Arisa probably wanted cedo to hurry up and let her know if it was a yes or no Arisa responded that if it was a no it would be difficult for cedo to tell her the friend reassured Arisa that she wouldn't know for sure and questioned

if she was just a convenient option to cedo Arisa insisted that she didn't think cedo was that kind of person and Shar That she suggested they hang out again to which he agreed the girl expressed concern that cedo was merely passively reacting to what Aris had told him questioning what his intentions were and if he had plans for their next date she warned Arisa about the possibility of guys taking advantage of her kindness and overlooking the true nature of their relationship Marisa agreed to confront cedo if he didn't say anything when they met again just

then Arisa received a Message from cedo asking if she was free that day because he had something to talk about the girl remarked that cedo had initiated the conversation Arisa acknowledged that there was a chance cedo might reject her but the girl advised her not to be so negative after school they met up cedo admitted that it was sudden but thanked her for coming she replied that she was glad he did and assured him he could ask her out any time she wondered if this was why she Was being labeled a convenient woman then she

asked cedo what he wanted to talk about he glanced around to ensure no one was nearby and confessed that he felt happy when she came to meet him after school and that he had fun hanging out with her he continued expressing gratitude for her kindness in calling him which genuinely made him happy he wanted to thank her again for all she had done for him Arisa wondered if the next thing he would say was an apology Cedo thought that Arisa had done her best to try to make things work and he couldn't express it as

casually as he wished but now it was his turn he realized that if he tried to act too cool at that moment he would be the one to suffer later on he stated that he didn't want to hide anything from her so there was something he needed to tell her he then revealed that during his time in middle school he had been mistreated by a woman cedo continued Expressing how uncomfortable he felt when suddenly touched without warning which is why he apologized for pushing her away so forcefully back then Arisa reassured him reminiscing about that

incident and telling him it was fine cedo realized he had been too afraid of her reaction to see her face but he made the decision to tell her clearly he explained that if she was still okay with him they should go out together blushing she expressed her happiness and Gratitude for him sharing his pasts she then revealed that she had also experienced mistreatment during train rides so she understood his feelings describing it as the worst thing she wondered if such things happened to boy as well but reassured him that he didn't need to worry anymore

Arisa then confessed that she still loved him and was excited to get to know him better she acknowledged that it might feel like they were going through a process but Asked if she could call him by his name he agreed and reciprocated by calling her by her name too cedo reflected that some people due to their past experiences became unable to ride trains anymore emphasizing that such experiences shouldn't be taken lightly or disregarded as they cause significant harm he shared all these conversations with his friends at school announcing that he was now dating Arisa Koga

environment with other girls he was Certain he would still fall in love with Arisa she commented that it was very sweet of him to say so she was delighted that she had tried to hold his hand that day he confessed that he wasn't good with close contact and was trying to overcome his fears cedo pondered that he wasn't exactly trying to do that but he guessed it would seem like a different way Arisa expressed her desire to help him offering her support if he ever felt uncomfortable in any way she suggested Trying holding hands again

cedo agreed and they joined hands once more she asked how he was feeling and he replied that he was fine though his heart was beating faster she was pleased to hear this and assured him that if they worked hard together he wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore cedo reflects on how he never knew that a girl's hand could be so small and soft however he feels a sense of unease due to his past and is taken a back Arisa notices something Wrong and asks him about it cedo assures her that it's nothing and tries to

under a good roof in the park as they rested under the shelter Arisa thanked cedo for the jacket and asked if he was feeling cold or if he was fine cedo Replied that he wasn't feeling too cold Arisa then took out a towel and asked if she could dry his hair with it cedo agreed and she informed him that she was going to touch him before gently beginning to dry his hair cedo reflected on her considerate action remembering how she always seemed to be mindful of his comfort and wondered if it was because she remembered

what he had told her he thought she was such a good girl suddenly they found themselves in close Proximity and in that moment they shared a kiss after that she mentioned that she had finished drying his hair he thanked her for that then they both blushed while looking at each other the next day after school Momo asked Arisa if she was also going to meet cedo Arisa agreed and suggested meeting the next day just then a approached Arisa and asked if she had gotten together with cido Arisa confirmed and a remarked that as Arisa had

mentioned they were still friends Before it was good news Arisa agreed mentioning that cedo was her first boyfriend so there were a lot of things she didn't know but they had gotten to know a lot about each other and now it felt like they were close enough to talk about anything Anna was shocked to hear this and asked if it wasn't a little too much to handle having him as her first man and if it was fine Arisa asked Anna to explain that Anna asked if cedo hadn't told her anything about herself Then apologized and

mentioned that Arisa felt like they to could talk about anything so she thought that Anna then told that cedo had been absent from school for a long time and what she was about to tell Arisa was all hearsay but it seemed like cedo had gotten caught up in some kind of trouble with a woman she suggested that Arisa confirm that part with cedo and if he really had a dangerous past Anna thought Arisa should find someone else to be with then she Made a plan to meet cedo at the park AR as they sat together

Ceda wondered why she had chosen such a place and now he was strangely conscious of that fact she simply called him and mentioned that there was something she wanted to talk about with him she apologized for bringing it up if it was something he didn't want to remember but he mentioned that he had been a victim of a bad situation involving a woman in the past Arisa was under the impression that he Had experienced something like that so she had said a lot of things without thinking them through and she must have Hur him when

she mentioned it he asked what she was saying she continued by asking if he still remembered the girl who went to the same middle school as him and Arisa had heard from that girl that there was a period of time when he was absent from school and that means he suffered through the experience far worse than she could imagine and she Apologized for that he replied that it was nothing she should apologize for he mentioned that it happened because he didn't keep himself clean and he should be apologizing to her she wondered what happened there

he replied that it wasn't a pleasant story but asked if she would listen to everything he had to say about his middle School experience he then told her that when he was in Middle School a female teacher asked him if he had some time cedo thought that the lady Was the trainy teacher she mentioned that cedo was on the studies committee and she hoped that he would tell more about his class activities and how a morning test was organized before exams cedo said that the next day he would bring all his printouts that he had

used until then the teacher thanked him for his help and mentioned that he was her senior when it came to school activities so she was counting on him after that they both kept walking together isumi Approached cido and said that it was unfair that cido kept hanging out with the teacher Kaa agreed with isumi as well isumi said to the teacher that she was a pervert cido said that it wasn't like that the teacher mentioned that cedo was just teaching her various things isumi remarked that he could teach her as well and Kobo agreed to

teach as well the girls asked them to stop fooling around cedo thought that the teacher was pretty and kind and she Was a popular teacher who got along with her students well despite being an adult without exception cido was also fond of her and admired her a lot once cedo was working a man called and mentioned that he had asked for a check on the PE equipment inventory in the storage room but it seemed he accidentally left out one of the sheets he asked cedo if he could pass that on to him cedo agreed and

as he went to the basketball group he heard a woman crying following the Sound he found it was his teacher he sat next to her and then she told him that she messed up and got scolded that day as well it seemed like she might not be suited to become a teacher she apologized for showing such an ugly side of herself and feeling like she failed as an adult and as a teacher he replied telling her not to say such things he insisted that she wasn't a failure and that her classes were easy to understand

and everyone in class liked her she Asked if he was sure and if he would still continue to like her he agreed and said that he was cheering for her she cried again expressing that she wore a suit and pretended to be an adult in front of everyone but she was insecure about herself daily she was generally shy and Al afraid whenever the vice principal sighed there were a lot of things to do and she felt so overwhelmed cedo looked around and then offered his handkerchief asking her not to cry she Suddenly hugged him thanking

him and saying that he was so kind he felt embarrassed by the gesture she mentioned that she could hear his heartbeat so clearly he replied that it was because she was so close to him she then pushed him to lie down there and sitting on him she asked if he would make her feel comfortable and that he didn't have to do anything she assured him that she would teach him everything he needed to know she also emphasized that he had to Keep their interaction a secret between the two of them cedo asked what they were

doing at such places she told him that it would be good for him cedo wondered what was happening to him the teacher remarked that cedo was at the age when he had an interest in girls and asked if he wasn't lucky enough to have a head start on experiencing that so let's make him an adult before anyone else arrives isumi and Koga wondered where cedo had gone Koga mentioned that He thought isumi was with cedo another boy added that cedo had gone to the gym storage room earlier cedo felt his body was uneven and that

he had been treated unfairly which made him afraid of a person for the first time he felt no pressure from the adults actions but he struggled to resist at first however his fear overwhelmed him rendering him unable to move halfway through he found himself unable to do anything but endure it until the ordeal passed at that Moment his teacher seemed more like a giant monster afterwards he sank into depression and spent his days lying around when he returned home his parents were deeply concerned about him meanwhile all the students wondered why he wasn't coming to

school one remarked that he heard cedo got into some trouble another mentioned that cedo was such a good guy and that he was one of those whom they didn't have to judge by appearances isumi and Koga visited Cedo's home to check on him cedo reflected on how he had become afraid and felt paralyzed unable to do anything during this time when he avoided school and even going outside isumi and Koga continued to visit him regularly they didn't try to console or persu him to return to school instead they simply came as his friends fortunately the

school took appropriate action and properly punished the teacher responsible for cedo's distress he Stopped recounting the events to Arisa and mentioned that during the second half of his third year he was able to return to school choosing to attend the only boy School available Arisa was shocked to hear this and admitted that her mind went blank on how to react cedo assured her that he didn't expect her to comfort him and that she didn't need to worry however he noticed her tears and acknowledged that he had indeed suffered a lot feeling emotional cedo thanked her

For listening to him Arisa said that she shouldn't cry there and apologize for that he replied that it was nothing then asked if she had enough time he remembered she mentioned having a new tuition teacher coming to her house on Thursday so she should hurry to get back home she agreed and mentioned that her thoughts were all about him that day before leaving she assured him she would contact him again cedo was sitting with Mia isumi and Koga who were shocked to Know that cedo had told AIS all about his past isumi remarked that cedo

really had such courage Koga asked about ais's reaction cedo replied that Aris had told him she had suffered a lot kogre commented that his impression of her was that she was a clueless young lady but now he saw her as rather broadminded isumi pointed out that Koga had only met her twice cido mentioned that he hadn't realized that and explained that since she had heard what he had to say he Thought he should come and tell mia nia replied that it was so different and she was glad that it was working out for him mentioned

that a lot of things were happening between them so he apologized for not coming to Mia Mia replied that there was no need to apologize and CTO didn't need to feel obligated to discuss or disclose everything to him she emphasized that when students encounter any kind of trouble or need help teachers hope to be adults whom students Can easily approach and talk to cedo expressed that he didn't want to hide anything from Arisa and now he felt relieved Koga appreciated that cedo did his best Arisa wondered what had happened compared to the rumors she had

heard there was a bit of difference and cido seemed more like a victim of something strange he confided in Arisa about his painful past and her initial feeling was simply happiness she realized that sharing their experiences Made their bond stronger which truly made her happy however she acknowledged that they weren't the same at all and she was having insensitive thoughts cedo's Behavior seemed strange but it wasn't about whether he had experience with women or not just then Arisa noticed a couple sitting nearby the boy placing his hand on the girl's shoulder the scene shifts to

ais's house where she lies down and thinks about the teacher who had done such things to cedo Wondering what kind of person she was cedo mentioned that the teacher was pretty and everyone admired her indicating she would be a young lady Arisa didn't want to think about it but she couldn't hold back her feelings of sympathy for cedo and she wondered if he liked that teacher as well she wondered if they had kissed as well and when such thoughts arose did men not start she had heard a lot of news about women as victims and

even though he might be a Middle school student he was male and the teacher was female couldn't he have shouted or escaped she imagined what happened to cedo there and how his body had experienced such things on the other side Mia was contemplating whether a teenager her age could accept someone who had such a past Mia couldn't do anything but worry realizing that there were times when a person doesn't fully know themselves either Arisa went to the washroom because she was feeling Nauseous Arisa recalls that during her Elementary School years she gained such knowledge as

well well but it was simply a lesson like the rest she remembers walking with her mother and seeing a banner indicating that only 18 plus people should go somewhere prompting Arisa to inquire about it her mother replied that Arisa couldn't go there later they returned home and watched a show where journalists were interviewing a lady about her firsttime experience Implying she was in a room with her boyfriend ais's mother turned off the TV commenting that those shows were all vulgar and silly Arisa noticed that when something like that came up her mother seemed sad but

Arisa wondered why everyone else seemed to enjoy it the next morning Arisa woke up feeling like she hadn't gotten proper sleep she came out of her room to greet her mother who returned the greeting and asked why Arisa looked so pale and if she wasn't Feeling well Arisa replied that she was just thinking about something she mused about how her parents had also done weird things like that and then headed to school saying she didn't need any breakfast as Arisa sat in her class she thought about how even the girls in her class talked about

such weird things and did adult teachers ya and Momo so Arisa wonders if they had done similar things and if that was really considered normal and whether she was the only one Ignorant about it she feels embarrassed to be thinking about such things after school she walks the streets thinking that cedo's past was too shocking for her so she's certain it's just throwing her off and she needs to pull herself together despite it being very hard for him cedo told her about his past and she doesn't want him to think of her as a difficult

girl who makes him feel uncomfortable just then cedo arrives calling out to her and mentioning that It's a coincidence he expresses happiness that she's heading back home she feels shy upon seeing him and thinks that her heart skipped a beat everything seems unchanged and cedo appears normal as usual so she might Simply Be overthinking things a bit cedo notices a boy about to bump into her and quickly moves her aside telling her to be careful as he touches her to guide her she instinctively removes her hand from him and appears worried he asks what's Wrong

with her but she just starts running away apologizing his tears well up in her eyes she thinks that her body instinctively rejected his touch as she crossed the over Bridge cedo came by and followed her apologizing as he did he expressed his concern mentioning that he had noticed she seemed unusually pale he offered to walk with her for at least half the way if she wasn't feeling well initially hesitant she considered denying his offer but cedo's insistence Prompted her to reveal her inner turmoil tearfully Arisa confessed that she felt unsettled after learning about his past

and couldn't shake off thoughts about it despite her efforts she admitted feelings scared by her own thoughts which were increasingly overwhelming her she despised feeling this way finding it painful looking at him she asserted that it was her problem not his in response cedo reassured her acknowledging the discomfort such Revelations could bring And apologizing for making it difficult for her to forget she insisted it wasn't like that cedo expressed his hope that she would have told him immediately if those were her thoughts such as finding it difficult to handle or feeling disgusted as it wasn't

normal in response she clarified that those weren't the thoughts she was having Ceda wondered if her kind words weren't genuine he apologized for inadvertently making her feel forced and repulsed she Assured him that she wasn't repulsed by him but admitted to feeling conflicted initially she was thrilled when he confided in her believing her ideal guy had finally appeared and that the romance she had always admired was coming true however she felt uncertain about his feelings and actions including when when he smacked her hand away on their first school date she tried to understand that romance

in real life comes in different forms but she never Expected him to have such a past now whenever she thinks of him it pains her he questioned whether what he had done was truly against his will feeling the weight of being a guy and the perceived expectation that he should have been able to resist frustrated he shouted at her to stop talking about it all then overcome with emotion once more he began to cry again expressing that she couldn't understand because she hadn't experienced it herself urging her not to Force him to articulate it sitting

there he reassured her that she wasn't to blame emphasizing that her feelings were valid and normal he admitted it was wrong of him to involve her in his messy situation apologizing for subjecting her to discomfort and feeling disgusted for not being what he perceived is normal cheerfully Arisa left the scene as Arisa left cedo felt the urgency to compose himself quickly fearing others might perceive him as weird if they saw him in Such a state however he struggled to breathe and felt an overwhelming urge to scream he pleaded silently for help from his friends and

family eventually only isumi and Koga approached him inquiring about what had happened they found cedo in tears and helped him to his feet guiding him back to his house once there they sat down together and discussed the events that had unfolded cedo admitted he hadn't expected things to escalate as they did and both isumi and Koga offered Their support and well-wishes though it didn't alleviate cedo's distress entirely isumi reassured ured cedo that he didn't need to apologize excessively as the situation wasn't entirely his fault Koga pointed out that Arisa had hurt cedo first later that

night as cedo prepared to leave the house his mother questioned his late night outing cedo explained he was just going to the convenience store walking the streets cedo pondered how difficult it was to Remain at home not wanting his mother to worry about him Feeling burdened by the troubles he had caused his friends and the repeated failures despite his efforts cedo couldn't shake off the negativity creeping into his thoughts he questioned whether he would continue living in such a manner feeling overwhelmed by the weight of his emotions despite the relatively short duration of their relationship

the wounds inflicted weren't easily healed As he walked he found himself standing in front of the cafe where he and Arisa had spent time together memories flooded back from their first encounter to the painful moments they shared overwhelmed tears welled up in his eyes as he realized the depth of his love for her yet understanding that love alone wasn't sufficient suddenly a concerned lady approached him inquiring if he was hurt or unwell or perhaps a Lost Child cedo replied that he was fine and apologized For disturbing her business explaining that there was a lot happening

the lady asked if cedo had some time and expressed concern about him walking around while in such a situation suggesting that he come inside for a cup of cafe latte or something cedo found that the cafe was already closed as they entered the lady told him to take any seat he wanted since they were closed for the day so no customers would come cedo could take his time then the lady Asked if he preferred cocoa or hot milk he replied that a cafe latte was fine he felt like she was treating him like her kid

reminiscent of the fun date he had with Arisa in the past she then served his Cafe cedo thanked her and said he would pay for it but the lady insisted it was fine cedo thanked her again and as he drank the cafe latte he complimented her on how good it was she replied that she was glad to hear it then asked if he was a crybaby or if Something painful had happened to him he apologized again she asked what he was apologizing for he explained that it was because he caused a problem for her and

also because a guy shouldn't cry in front of people the lady questioned whether gender mattered in this case pointing out that both boys and girls adults and children all have moments where tears won't stop currently she was the only one there and no one else was going to scold him so he didn't have to Worry about anything cedo thought of the calm and warm atmosphere feeling as if the weight on his chest and the tears in his eyes slowly trickled away he knew nothing about her name age or past yet she had really grown as

a woman it felt similar to being with Mia and he felt secure being with her after the coffee he thanked her and insisted that he should still pay for it she told him that whenever he felt happy just come to her as a customer and that would be the Greatest thanks to her he agreed with her the next day at school mitsuki asked Koga why CTO wasn't there and if he was sick or something kogre replied that it was something like that mitsuki speculated that CA was playing hookie to have a date with his new

girlfriend Saha asked what mitsuki was saying noting that cedo wasn't like that the scene shifted to ais's school where they were leaving the building after classes they overheard some girls talking about two Boys waiting outside and wondered if they could talk to them as Arisa looked outside she saw Koga and isumi Koga asked Arisa if they could have some of her time Arisa understood that they were cedo's friends and asked if they needed help with something Koga commented that Arisa had done the same thing in the past as well he mentioned that she had heard

all the things from cedo and after that she was repulsed and broke up with him asking if he assumed that correctly Arisa asked what repuls meant and Koga told her he didn't have to put it that way isumi said they weren't complaining and it was hard for Arisa to accept the truth so easily Koga stated that he came there to complain that Arisa was the one who approached cedo and hurt him which he considered selfish isumi reminded Koga that he supported his decision at first as well Koga replied that he would have been against if

he had known such things were going to happen isumi said It was all happening too fast and they were just deciding things after the fact K insisted that cedo was never at fault and women kept coming on to him and Arisa knew what she had done as well Arisa felt sad to hear that Koga continued saying he couldn't stand by without doing anything and while cedo got hurt they couldn't change what had already happened so he was there to tell Arisa not to go near cedo anymore Arisa admitted that she had been childish and Acknowledged

the problems she had she had no intention of telling cedo what was on her mind but she ended up saying a lot of unnecessary things which she realized was terrible of her however she didn't hate him nor did she reject him through tears she expressed that what cedo told her was wrong thinking he could date someone and she apologized for getting dragged into that she clarified that even if he hadn't brought it up she already knew she couldn't Approach him anymore after his clear rejection Momo came to support Arisa suggesting that if things had gone

this far Arisa should have her say as well she pointed out that Arisa had been hurt many times as well and although cido was a kind person it might be better for Arisa to stop seeing him altogether she questioned whether experiencing such pain gave them the right to hurt someone else if they were going to say Arisa selfishly approached cedo Momo would Argue that cedo forced his trauma onto Arisa and hurt her Momo believed it was wrong for third parties like them to interfere in cido and ais's problem so they should just leave as they

left isum told KOB that Moma was right but he still felt Koba had been overly aggressive that day he expressed concern that koba's anger might make it seem like he was holding a grudge against them if cedo noticed he might ask why Koga acted that way isumi noticed that Koga was crying and said he understood adding that isumi didn't have to say such things he believed it wasn't something they should meddle in but isumi thought it would have been better if she hadn't intervened she remarked that it seemed like Koga had two big babies on

his hands the scene shifted to lying on his bed reflecting on taking a day off from school he thought about the lady he had met the previous day noting that she was a grown woman yet he didn't Feel afraid he wondered if it was because she had a comfortable demeanor or if it was because she reminded him of Mia which put him at ease remembering the lady's words cedo became emotional thinking about making a firm decision to forget everything and move forward even though he knew he couldn't do it right away however he believed it

would be okay in the end and that he could take his time to Face Forward again once CTO returned to school he planned to Apologize to isumi and Koga for worrying them after that he would head to the cafe and express his gratitude maybe even starting something new the scene shifted to the restaurant of the lady where she posted a sticker indicating she needed staff and would pay 800 Yen per hour hoping to find someone to fill the position the next morning cedo was on his way to school when he caught sight of the cafe

it triggered memories of the conversation with the elegant Lady prompting him to decide that after school he would treat isumi and Koga there the scene shifts to the classroom where isumi reminds Koga to apologize to cido if he happens to come by Koga assures him while casually watching their favorite Idols music video commenting on isi's Elegance isumi clarifies that he wasn't particularly fond of the girl rather he watched it for knowledge he emphasizes that cedo's reaction would dictate everything Expressing concern that cedo might be feeling down and any misstep could worsen the situation just then

a cheerful cedo arrives and greets them isumi remarks on cedo's seemingly forced cheerfulness prompting cido to ask him not to make such observations cedo admits that he might have been pushing himself a bit but asserts that he has come to terms with it Koga acknowledges this is progress cido then inquires if anything happened prompting both isumi And kova to recount the events of the previous day leaving cido shocked Koba apologized for his actions expressing regret for what they had done cedo replied that he was more taken aback by their actions especially considering they had ventured

into the girl's only School isumi interjected stating that koga's concern for cedo Motivated his actions and urged cedo not to be upset with him he also admitted his own culpability for not intervening cedo Turned to Koga asking if he was reflecting on his actions to which Koga agreed cedo reassured them that he harbored no anger acknowledging that while their actions had made things awkward with Arisa it was an event that had already concluded and he believed it was unavoidable he expressed gratitude towards both of them for their gesture he noted that it was rare to

see Koga emotional to which isumi commented that it unsettled him slightly cedo then Asked if they were both free after school because there was a place he wanted to take them after school they arrived at the cafe and kogre remarked on its pleasant Ambience the lady welcomed them and recognized cedo she presented the menu and mentioned that their dessert of the day was cheesecake so they decided to order that
