Narration: “Kurosaki’s brother suddenly appeared but right now...I’m facing a major problem.” At the street, teary-eyed Yuu covers her forehead with her two hands. Yusuke asks her what’s up, they’ll be late.
Takumi tells her that Haruto will go straight to the school from his house so he ought to be already waiting for her there. Yuu gloomily says that she doesn’t want to see him. Yusuke shouts if she has amnesia again!?
Sparkling Mina smiles and says that this kind of thing always happen when there’s a new school term. Yuu stiffens. Mina chuckles because Yuu has cut her fringes way too short.
Yuu removes her hands from her forehead to reveal her fringes are above her eyebrows. As Yusuke calls out to Tarako, Takumi says that Yuu could have told him about it so that he can help her cut her hair. “After all, you’re quite clumsy.” Embarrassed Yuu asks if he also thinks that it’s so weird.

Mina says that Yuu also failed in curling her hair since it looked like bed hair. Yuu confesses that it has been a long time since she saw Haruto so she went a bit overboard. “Forget it- I have already accepted my fate!” Mina asks if she plans on walking with her boyfriend with this kind of hairstyle? “Really, I don’t know what to do with you.”
Later on, Haruto is waiting at the school gate. While fangirls are gawking at him, Yuu greets him a good morning. Haruto says that she’s so slow and they will be tardy if she came a bit later. Yuu’s fringes are all hair-pinned while the rest are in a pigtail.
Narration: “Even if we occasionally talk on the phone but today is the first time we see each other since that day—[when they were lovey-dovey at Haruto’s house] Thanks to Aida-san’s help, I ought to look okay.” While staring at him, Yuu asks him how is it. Haruto is puzzled.

Yuu says that she isn’t the same as usual... Haruto stares at her and says, “...ah. *pinches her face* It seems that your face had become a bit rounder. Did you become fat? After school, do not go back on your own.”
While Takumi laments that Haruto hasn’t changed a bit, embarrassed Yuu shouts that if he’s really late, she’ll leave him! “Also...I didn’t become fat!!” Haruto smiles and says that he isn’t her since he isn’t very slow. Yuu blushes and thinks ah, unbearable! “I really like him!!”
At the auditorium, the principal tells the students that he is going to introduce their temporary teacher. While looking at Haruto, Yuu holds her necklace and thinks that she doesn’t know when he quietly put the necklace on her neck... “It’s definitely him.” She blushes as her heart goes dok-doki.

Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a scream. Sakura introduces himself. “So for the next three months, during this short time, yoroshiku.” While some girls are complaining that it’s too short, Yuu overhears Takumi asking Haruto to tell his father to make Sakura change school.
Haruto tells him that it seems that it is his father who specially called Sakura to go to Harumi. Takumi says that it’s too strange for that guy to become a teacher. “There’s definitely some sort of plot to it.”
Recalling how Sakura interrupted them before, Yuu thinks, “Could it be! He was sent over by Kpapa to keep a close watch on us!? Has it been found out that we almost progressed beyond kissing?!”
At the dorm, Yuu nervous asks Mina if she has seen Sakura. Mina informs her that Sakura stays in the dorm for only 2-3 days a week. “He’s here only when he’s on duty.”
Yuu sighs in relief and mutters that he doesn’t stay in school. She thinks that it seems that she can be at ease for today. Mina asks if Yuu plans to switch to the brother, how fickle. Embarrassed Yuu denies it. Mina says that she’s just teasing her.

Holding a small bag of chocolates, Yuu tells Minana [<- guesswork of Mina’s nickname] to eat this with her. “I’ve discovered some delicious chocolates.” Mina goes huh and what’s with that Minana. Yuu smiles and says that she helped her this morning with this nice-looking hairstyle, right?
A couple of girls say that Yuu looks pretty. Yuu says, “You also helped me a lot this summer vacation so I’m really thankful to you.” This surprises Mina. Then, she says that she is currently controlling her sugar intake so she cannot eat chocolates.
Flustered Yuu asks does she have to answer her that way when Mina obviously knew that she’s fat. As Yuu decides to eat some vegetables, Mina asks Yuu where’s Haruto. “How come you’re so idle that you’ll eat together with me.”
Yuu says that it seems that Haruto has a lot of dorm work that he has to finish up. “I don’t want to trouble him. Even Shirakawa-san was dragged by him to do some work.”

Mina asks how come she’s so lenient with him all of a sudden. “What else could be happier compared to them being alone together... *lightly taps Yuu’s nose who blushes while looking away* Ah, that expression. Something sweet unexpectedly happen, huh? *teasing smile* At any time, I can hit on Kurosaki-kun.” Flustered Yuu tells her not to do that.
Narration: “Of course I also want to be alone with him. *while in bed and holding her octopus doll* ...but, if... again... become like that... Kurosaki-kun always make a move suddenly. Anyway, I have to be psychologically... be prepared... For the time being, it’s alright to keep things as it is, right...”
It is raining. In the student guidance room, the teacher tells Yuu that the situation is really bad if she keeps on being like this. “Students who fail a single subject during the second term’s midterm exam cannot join the school field trip.” Yuu is shocked by this.

She asks what...not even a single one!? Scratching his head, the teacher tells her that during the field trip, that is when the failing students will take extra lessons. “Akabane, your English is in danger. Our class’ Kaji is also going to quickly fail...” Yuu thinks, no...
Walking at the corridor outside, teary-eyed Yuu thinks that she has to do her best for the field trip. “Harumi... requirement is so high. I also want to have fun with Kurosaki-kun.” Then, she bumps into Sakura. She nervously salutes and exclaims, otsukaresama [good work].
He says that her hairstyle is quite mature and she’s very cute today. This made Yuu happy that she wonders if returnees [people who came back from abroad] would praise people that much. She is comparing this to Haruto’s reaction earlier.
Sakura takes her paper and asks if it is her transcript. He asks if the result of visiting [Haruto] is the decline of her grades. “So young.” Flustered Yuu exclaims that they haven’t done it and please return that to her.

Sakura tells her that if she takes things too lightly [lower her guard], Haruto will dump her. “Since childhood, Haruto is quite fickle. After getting on bed, you guys don’t talk much, right.” Yuu quickly says that it isn’t so, and don’t trouble himself! “Haruto is a very nice. Everyday, we are very lovey-dovey♡ Help me tell Kpapa that we didn’t do anything beyond a kiss...”
Sakura says, ah, pops!? “I don’t understand what you’re saying. Forget it, you just properly study. Hold out your hand. *grabs Yuu’s wrist and puts a box with the name ‘safe love’ [condom] on her hand* This is a gift from sensei.” Yuu wonders if it is candy then she realizes that it is...
Sakura says that there are a lot of teaching aids during class. “The field trip is a good opportunity. You two go to a love hotel together. *Yuu blushes and looks nervous* If not, Haruto will be too pitiful, right. *this slightly startles Yuu. Sakura points his head* There are the only things that’s in the head of a young male.”

Just then, there was an announcement calling for Sakura to quickly go to the infirmary since there are many girls who are suddenly ill... Flustered Yuu can only thing, eh eh-!?
In the dorm, Haruto holds an English book and tells everyone that they have taken a bath and rested so they’ll start studying English. All the students including Yuu who are in danger of failing have gathered around. Yusuke shouts ok, here we go.
He thanks Haruto for troubling himself for him and Yuu. Yuu thinks that she basically couldn’t concentrate at all... Haruto darkly says that it seems that there are more people here.
Lightly tapping Yuu’s head, Haruto tells her to focus. “In the scope of this kind of grammar, it assumes that as long as you analyze the expressed wish, the vocabulary here will be very simple.”
Yuu is thinking, “Wi...wish... Kurosaki-kun has come to help me review, and even if I’m very happy but...” Yuu asks him what he wants to do during the field trip.

Recalling Sakura suggesting that they go to a love hotel, Yuu thinks that she isn’t referring to free time or perhaps sightseeing-type of stuff... Recalling Sakura telling her that Haruto will be pitiful if they didn’t do it, Yuu thinks that he is really anticipating it.
Haruto asks her what about the field trip. Flustered Yuu thinks that it is the opportunity that Sakura had said and after all, it is the brother who said it!! Haruto hold her face and tells her to look at him. Yuu suddenly stands up. She says that she wants to be by herself so that can concentrate more. “I’ll go back to my room to study.”
Takumi notices Yuu leaving that he asks Haruto if they quarreled and what is it about this time. Haruto says that he just touched her and she ran away. “She said that it is her own problem and refused to tell me the reason. “But I...want to know everything about her. ...darn, this infuriates me.”
Takumi looks amused. He tells him to properly worry about it. “Going steady is basically this kind of thing. Before, you actually don’t think too much. *Haruto goes tsk* Let me give you an advice. If you want to go to the last stage with Yuu-chan, you must do it in sequence. Don’t just do whatever it is that you thought of doing.” Haruto asks what last stage...

Sakura comes in and tells the youngsters that it will be lights off soon. Aghast Takumi says that he shouldn’t be in the dorm today. Sakura happily greets him Takumi-chan♪ Takumi shouts for him not to call him that way.
He says that Takumi isn’t around yesterday. Takumi says that it is because he doesn’t want to see him. Sakura turns to look at Haruto who is lost in thought.
The school bell rings. The teacher tells the students that what he talked about today will be in the exam. Yuu laments that it is no good, she basically couldn’t concentrate.
“In the end, I’ll just fail if I’m too concerned about what will happen during the field trip. There’s no meaning to it if I’ll just take extra lessons in school...”
She lets out a long sigh. Tarako comments that her sigh is quite long. Meiko asks if she had amnesia again. Tarako says that Yuu has totally forgotten about them, such a fickle person. Meiko agrees with her.

Yuu apologizes and begs them not to say that kind of words again. Yuu thinks about discussing it with them. She asks Tarako that during the field trip, she and Yusuke...
Yusuke arrives and Tarako asks if he has finished studying. “We are going to his house to review and he’s working hard.” Meiko says that they study together tomorrow since she has cram school today.
Tarako says that they are all going to the field trip. Yusuke wishes Yuu good luck. Yuu tells them to wait. The teacher calls out to Yuu and tells her that her score in today’s short quiz is worse than the usual- This made Yuu aghast.
Yuu decides to study in the library with hopes that she ought to be able to concentrate here. “I have to seriously study. Sort out my notes and look at the wrong answers in the short quiz. *imagines devil Sakura telling her what young males have in their heads* ah, brother devil, go far away from me!” Then, she notices someone taking a seat beside her.

It is Haruto. She asks why he... He tells her not to make a loud noise. “I’m also reviewing for the exam.” She tells him that it isn’t necessary for him... He says ah, it isn’t about necessary, if he doesn’t review, what will happen to the field trip.
“This is the only school activity that we can do together. Tarako and others also said that we can be in a group during free time. Right now isn’t the time for you to relax.” Yuu asks if it weren’t for time together, will he still anticipate the field trip? Haruto asks if she isn’t anticipating it.
Embarrassed Yuu says ah, but...his...his brother said... Haruto asks what did Sakura say. Yuu couldn’t tell him. She instead says that he said that Haruto doesn’t like riding on the airplane, and he wants to hide when he sees a plane so he shouldn’t be going to the field trip... He tells her that other than him, she shouldn’t let others tease her.

She tries to protest but he suddenly kisses her. He whispers, “Didn’t you say that as long as it’s a kiss, it is okay at any time?” While some students are blushing over it, Yuu says that the current situation isn’t the same...in this kind of place where everyone is studying...
He kisses her again and she thinks that it’s such a long kiss. After the kiss, he licks his lips and says he won’t be shy ABOUT THIS. “Hurry and answer this exercise book. I had marked out what ought to come out in the exam.”
Blushing Yuu tells him that kissing at any time isn’t okay either. He tells her to hurry up and do it. “If you make a mistake, I’ll kiss you again.” Yuu thinks that she can also anticipate the field trip.

While walking in the streets, Yuu thinks that it has been a long time since she saw him being Sparta like this. “The devil is back!!” Haruto tells her to remember to review after they arrive in the dorm. Waving towards a convenient store, Yuu says that she’ll eat a bit of dessert to replenish her brain nutrition. “I’m going to die already...”
He tells her to finish eating in a minute. Yuu says no, give her five minutes. While carrying a lot of snacks, Yuu asks if Haruto wants something. “I’ll buy it as a thank you gift for helping me study.” Holding a magazine, he says a large cup of spicy instant noodles.
While Yuu goes to pay, she is amused that he eats spicy cup noodles. She plans to note that down. “This is the first time we went out after school. I’m so happy.” Putting back the magazine, Haruto tells Yuu that she bought too many things. “Be careful or you’ll become fat.”
Yuu retorts that studying can burn up all the energy! “What magazine are you reading?” Haruto says that it is nothing. Yuu is curious since she hopes that maybe she can find out his interest that is different from other people. Her eyes widen upon seeing the magazine.
It is a magazine about sex ‘embrace each other HAPPY! Touch each other LOVE’ Yuu blushes over it. At the door, Haruto tells her not to dillydally. Yuu cannot believe that Haruto is reading this kind of magazine!?

Comment: I’m wondering about the purpose of this arc. Is it to introduce to us what Sakura is like or we’ll see a bit of ‘level up’ in their relationship or perhaps, both? It is most definite that Yuu will go to the field trip. Story-wise, she must go rather than for her to stay behind and perhaps Haruto not going either.
Like Yusuke, Yuu has a new hairstyle. Hehe, it makes me wonder if everyone will have a new hairstyle by the end of the series. Oh wait, Haruto did in the first chapter =P In a way, Mina is pretty much what Takumi is to Haruto. Teasing yet helping the couple a bit with their romance.
Well, Sakura is there because of their father’s request. I wonder if he is to test Yuu or he is just teasing the couple. He doesn’t seem the type who’ll listen to their father so he must have some other goal. Is it to check things out with Haruto?
Sakura doesn’t seem to know about his father’s rule on the couple but he put in some ideas in Yuu’s head about what might happen during the field trip. It seems deliberate to distract Yuu in her studies. He seems amused over Haruto’s reaction to this.
For Yuu to be this distracted about it, I guess she isn’t ready for it. But, she would most likely go for it if Haruto wants it. I mean, telling someone like Yuu that the boyfriend is pitiful if she doesn’t agree to it. I’m actually not sure if they would want their first time to be a ‘quickie’. Like, there’s a deadline for free time so they would have to be in a hurry instead of taking their time.
Oh about Haruto not liking to ride a plane, when did Sakura tell that to her? Was she making it up? Being slightly sick, I wonder if I had actually missed something. ^^;;

Well, she did calm down and manage to concentrate after the library study. Unfortunately, upon realizing what he was reading, she might be distracted again. And, I’m assuming that he was reading it in order to know how to treat her better rather than how to do it. ^^; Scans by bilibili漫画
