It is morning on the first day of the exam. Haruto, Takumi and Yusuke are walking to school together. Haruto yawns and groggily leans on Takumi. Takumi muses that this is so strange. “Did you stay up late to study last night? You shouldn’t have, right?”

Haruto gloomily says that he didn’t sleep. “Tsk, that idiot ran off to school all by herself.” Takumi sweatdrops and thinks that from the looks of it, this is related to Yuu. “It is unexpected that there will be a time when Kuro couldn’t sleep. He also won’t tell me the details about what happened in the hotel.”

Wearing a headband with ‘must win’, Yusuke exclaims that the days of suffering will end this week! “After the exam, let’s go play indoor soccer again-” Takumi comments that Yusuke had grown fat.
Aghast Yusuke says that his stomach is really terrible because he is always eating sweets while studying. “It is all flab [/meat]...” To Yusuke’s surprise, Haruto suddenly pinches his belly hard. Blushing Yusuke shouts his name and exclaims ouch, ouch.
While some fangirls squeal in delight, Takumi darkly asks what Haruto is doing. Turning away, Haruto says that he thought that it would change his mood, how boring. Yusuke apologize for not being able to make Haruto feel satisfied.

Takumi asks Haruto if he just used Yusuke as a substitute for Yuu. “Kuro, you’re also an idiot.” Quickly walking away, Haruto tells him to shut up. Takumi thinks that it seems that Haruto is the type who likes to have physical contact [/touch body] with his girlfriend.
Takumi then calls out, “Ah! Yuu-chan!?” Slightly blushing Haruto quickly turns to look. He only sees Takumi laughing his head off for tricking him. “Ha ha ha, Kuro, your expression just now looks really happy!” Yusuke asks what expression.
Grabbing Takumi’s collar and wanting to punch him, Haruto darkly says, you jerk... Holding his phone, Takumi smiles and says, “Do it one more time. I’ll take a picture for Yuu to see later on. She’ll be happy♪”

Later on, while sporting a bandage on the head, Takumi tells Haruto that it isn’t necessary to really hit him. “I’m just joking and it’s just so cute.” Haruto says who told him to do that dirty trick.
With devil horns, Takumi says that it isn’t like today is the first day Haruto knew him. Haruto sees Yuu reviewing in the classroom. Looking at her English textbook, Yuu recalls that Haruto mentioned this example sentence.
Yusuke is surprised that Yuu came so early and is still doing her best [in studying] now... Takumi asks Haruto if he wants to stop by at his class. “You ought to need Yuu-chan to replenish your energy. How come you’re enduring it?”

Looking away, slightly blushing Haruto says that there’s no need. “I’ll be at a loss if she were to run away again. Takumi, Kaji, you guys don’t bother her.” Takumi chuckles and says that he is being overprotective.
Yusuke exclaims in disbelief that unexpectedly there is a time when Haruto is at a loss. While Haruto takes a nap at his desk, Takumi comments, “Kuro, right now, you can already show many different sides of yourself.”
Comment: Well, it is a short side story again this month. So, what do you think is the reason why Haruto wasn’t able to sleep that night? Too much imagination over what could have happened? Overstimulated over what had happened? Plotting on how to get even with his brother?
For him to be sleepy and everything, I wondered...what are the chances he’ll be the one failing the exam? Of course, how can trickster Takumi pass this chance of teasing Haruto when he’s like that.
Speaking of taking a picture, it would be amusing if someone did take a picture when Haruto is pinching Yusuke and the picture will spread in school. Hehe, the possible resulting explanations and reactions would have been funny. Scans by 腾讯动漫
