00:00:00The story begins with a girl locking her eyes onto a boy, her gaze soft yet filled with intensity,

00:00:05as she whispers, Harudokun, fall in love with me, sending a sudden jolt through the stillness

00:00:11around them. The boy, Akahara Harudo, stands there an ordinary and unpopular high school

00:00:16student his face flushing in shock. His life had always been nothing more than quiet,

00:00:21uneventful days spent alone because of his father's work, until this very moment when

00:00:26she steps closer, closing the distance between them and changing everything. With a calm and

00:00:31gentle voice, she tells him that being with Harudokun makes her feel at ease, her expression soft yet

00:00:37carrying something deeper. His eyes widen as he hears that no boy has ever made her feel this way

00:00:42before, that he is her first. She leans in even closer, her gaze unwavering, while his thoughts

00:00:48spiral realizing he might be the only one she shows this affection to, wondering if something

00:00:53straight out of a manga or drama could truly happen, the space between them growing heavy

00:00:58with unspoken emotions. Overwhelmed by warmth and confusion, the moment feels too real to deny,

00:01:05his thoughts racing as he realizes that this is happening right now. Her arms gently wrap around

00:01:10him, her expression calm and content, while his face turns red and his head spins from the closeness.

00:01:16A single thought echoes in his mind. How did things end up like this again? Just a few days earlier,

00:01:22the classroom had been filled with low chatter. While at a desk in the corner, Harudo finished

00:01:27his lunch with a calm expression, thinking about how the afternoon felt slow and drowsy.

00:01:32Eight months had passed since he entered high school, each day blending into the next in quiet

00:01:37normalcy. With no remarkable moments and no particular talents to stand out, he sat there

00:01:42in thought, his cheek resting against his hand, unaware that something far from ordinary was about

00:01:47to unfold. A friendly classmate waved at him and asked about his plans for the weekend,

00:01:53his voice bright and inviting. Though Harudo was not particularly popular, he still had a few

00:01:58friends, just another average student among many. The invitation sounded tempting, especially with

00:02:04something interesting recently discovered that would appeal to boys like them. Yet he quickly turned

00:02:09it down, earning a playful complaint in return. Then, a sudden voice called out sharply, making Harudo

00:02:15turn his head in surprise, catching both him and his friend off guard. Two girls walked side by side,

00:02:22one smiling brightly while the other adjusted her glasses, mentioning that they needed to head to

00:02:26another room for the next class. Their presence immediately caught Harudo's attention, as he

00:02:32recognized them as Keiho and Yukikoto Yukino. Among them was Sasaki Keiho, his childhood friend,

00:02:38and the girl who had rejected him half a year ago. Yet seeing her now stirred a different kind of

00:02:43thought,

00:02:43something that might excite an unpopular boy like him, a small smile forming on his lips.

00:02:49Memories of their final year in middle school surfaced warmly, where Keiho's cheerful face had

00:02:54shown as she promised they would aim for the same high school together, even offering to help him

00:02:59study. That promise became his motivation to follow her path, determined to reach the same level

00:03:04as a model student like her. After countless hours of effort, he succeeded, earning a place in the

00:03:10same class and feeling genuine happiness. Days filled with shared moments watching movies together

00:03:16in quiet theaters, sitting side by side in cafes, and talking comfortably made it seem as if their

00:03:22feelings were mutual, their bond growing stronger over time. Then, under the soft memory of a classroom,

00:03:28during the sixth month of their first year, he confessed his feelings to Keiho. Her warm eyes softened as

00:03:34she gently told him she did not see him that way. Those words left a sting that lingered,

00:03:39the realization of his misunderstanding sinking deeply into his heart. The pain led to days of

00:03:45silence, the space between them turning awkward and distant. Still, unwilling to lose that connection

00:03:51entirely, he chose to draw close again this time through Keiho's friend, Yukino, whose quiet presence

00:03:57behind her glasses carried a calm and comforting aura. Back in the classroom, Keiho spoke with her usual

00:04:03bright energy, while Yukino stood beside her with a gentle smile, both leaning toward Haruto's desk

00:04:08as their conversation flowed naturally. Talking casually about small things, the atmosphere felt

00:04:14light again, as if their relationship had slowly returned to how it once was. Walking through the

00:04:19hallway, Haruto found himself thinking how it would take a miracle for him to ever have a girlfriend after

00:04:25being rejected by the girl closest to him. Still, no matter how he looked at it, Keiho remained

00:04:31undeniably cute, her bright smile lingering in his memory. As he passed by a doorway, something caught

00:04:37his eye, Yukino, standing quietly in the sunlight, her long dark hair and composed expression giving off a

00:04:43graceful presence that naturally drew his attention. His gaze shifted fully toward the doorway, where she

00:04:49stood bathed in light from outside, her presence impossible to ignore. Her eyes met his, a subtle spark of

00:04:55recognition flickering between them as she began to step closer, the ribbon in her hair swaying gently with

00:05:01each movement. The name surfaced in an instant Makoto ray her expression calm, yet unwavering, as if this

00:05:08meeting carried a weight that could not be ignored. Haruto's eyes shifted toward the girl standing by the

00:05:14desk, her presence quietly commanding the room. Thoughts compared her beauty to any in the school, yet it was

00:05:20clear she fit the title of number one. Long hair framed a face both elegant and distant, as if she

00:05:26radiated cold air all around her. No, not only as the top student in the grade, but also as the

00:05:32invincible beauty. Everyone called her the ice goddess. From those who respect and admire her to those who

00:05:38act cold and indifferent, the title ice goddess followed her everywhere, though to some it was met with

00:05:43a laugh. No matter the opinion, she remained an entity far beyond reach. In the midst of these thoughts,

00:05:49an unexpected hug came from the side, and the sudden closeness made Haruto turn his head, meeting Kehoe's

00:05:55bright gaze as she asked what had caught his attention. Kehoe leaned in far too close, prompting

00:06:01a flustered reaction as Haruto's gaze darted toward Makoto. Words tumbled out, admitting the focus was on

00:06:07Makoto, who had just returned from the nurse's office. A quick thought followed, wondering if Kehoe knew

00:06:13they would be heading to a different class next period. Her puzzled tilt only made her seem even cuter in

00:06:19that moment. Yukio offered to deliver the message, prompting Haruto to stand, while the thought of

00:06:25speaking to the ice goddess drew amazed cheers of good luck from Kehoe and Yukino. Approaching Makoto, he paused,

00:06:32wondering if she was really that scary, as her calm gaze settled on him with quiet curiosity.

00:06:37Makoto sat with flawless poise, her hand resting lightly against her chin, the air around her carrying a silent

00:06:44warning that kept others at a distance. Even while seated, she appeared like a masterpiece, her beauty

00:06:49almost too perfect, making it hard to approach. From the way things looked, no one seemed willing to

00:06:55deliver the message, leaving her untouched in her quiet, commanding space. With a steady breath, the

00:07:01decision was made there was no choice but to step forward. Makoto's eyes lifted toward the movement, her

00:07:07presence as composed as ever, though the air between them felt heavy. Avoiding the urge to look down at her,

00:07:13the approach continued despite her seeming to ignore it. Standing close, a polite request broke

00:07:19the silence, asking if there could be a moment to talk. Yet she remained silent, calling her name

00:07:24softly brought no response, the silence stretching heavy in the air. The voice rose, addressing her

00:07:30fully and calling her name, and at last her gaze lifted eyes sharp yet calm locking forward with an

00:07:35expression that carried both mystery and quiet strength, as if measuring the weight of the moment

00:07:40before her. Haruto's eyes whined, a faint blush rising as the presence of the school's goddess

00:07:46became clear, the thoughts settling in about the fuss surrounding the noble one beauty. Yet in the

00:07:51midst of that quiet awe, an image of a bright and cheerful smile appeared in mind Kehoe's warm

00:07:56and lively presence shining stronger. The thought lingered, a preference leaning toward that vibrant charm,

00:08:03even if it didn't matter here. Haruto stood stiff, forcing out a question about what was being read,

00:08:08the words trembling from nervousness. Thoughts swirled, realizing the talk had drifted into

00:08:14something ordinary, a sign of just how tense the moment felt. Makoto's gaze stayed calm and distant

00:08:20as a single word left her lips book, her tone cold and final, leaving the air heavy with quiet.

00:08:26Haruto glanced at the cover, the thoughts settling in about why she was called the ice goddess.

00:08:30Fingers brushed the book, curiosity sparking, until her sudden words caught him off guard,

00:08:36calling the title interesting, Black Widower. His eyes widened, the tension shifting into

00:08:41surprise as her gaze met his for the first time with a hint of intrigue. Makoto's calm eyes held

00:08:46no excitement, as she admitted the book was not interesting at all. Haruto's words guessed if

00:08:52the story made one fall asleep, earning a short confirmation, while Kehoe watched quietly from

00:08:57the side. The question came about why it was read despite being boring, and her answer was simple,

00:09:02it was bought, so it would be a waste not to read it. Haruto paused in thought, then stepped back

00:09:08with

00:09:08a small smile. Makoto looked up briefly before calmly telling him to wait, her hand still on the

00:09:14desk as she began to move something aside. Holding out a book while speaking about a love for mystery

00:09:19stories, and mentioning one recently read that was very interesting, Haruto offered to lend the book.

00:09:26His words met with a moment of silence as Makoto looked on. She found it peculiar, noting it was the

00:09:31first time that day talking to someone and being handed a book, a soft laugh escaping her lips.

00:09:37Her expression softened, eyes gentle as she accepted it, quietly saying thank you.

00:09:42Haruto's heart raced at the rare sight of a goddess-like smile, the beauty of the ice goddess

00:09:47leaving him breathless. Yet in an instant, her eyes sharpened into a piercing glare, calling his name

00:09:53with calm precision, the shift in expression carrying a weight that silenced the air around them.

00:09:58Makoto's expression turned firm as she told him to return to his seat if there was no more business,

00:10:04her tone as cold as her title implied. Haruto quickly delivered the message about the next class

00:10:09in the audiovisual room, making it clear it was not about novels. A brief silence followed before her

00:10:15gaze softened just enough to offer a quiet thanks. Then she fell silent once more. Haruto stepped away

00:10:21with a quick alright then, trying to keep calm. Yet the rush of nerves hit hard after answering so

00:10:27bluntly. Across the room, Makoto sat in quiet poise, her beauty striking like a model or an actress

00:10:33making the thought of lending a book to someone like her feel almost unreal. A flicker of excitement

00:10:39sparked as the idea of entering a popular period danced in the mind, though brushed off with a playful

00:10:44just kidding, the moment still carrying a quiet thrill. Upon returning, Keio and Yukino welcomed

00:10:50with bright curiosity, eager to know the outcome, their eyes shining with anticipation. Haruto glanced

00:10:56back slightly, admitting she was definitely something, the moment still vivid in thought. A faint smile

00:11:02curved his lips as his gaze softened, the image of the quiet yet overwhelming ice goddess lingering

00:11:08alright, in a lot of ways. Makoto's calm gaze held a distant beauty, cold yet flawless, like an ice

00:11:15goddess far beyond the reach of an average person. Her presence felt like an untouchable entity, stunning

00:11:20as a goddess and just as distant. In the quiet that followed, the thought settled that in a few months,

00:11:26classes would change and the path with Makoto would no longer cross. The thought at that time was certain

00:11:32it would end just like that. The small apartment stood quiet, a place unchanged since before the

00:11:38father's transfer. Stepping through the door with a faint murmur of I'm home. The empty space answered

00:11:43only with a familiar sign currently away on the job, leaving the habit of greeting still lingering in

00:11:49the air. A quiet laugh escaped while noting that living alone meant no one would answer anyway,

00:11:54until an unexpected voice replied, Welcome home. The door opened to reveal a figure standing there,

00:12:00leaving a stunned expression frozen in place. Shock sparked instantly, the mind racing with disbelief at

00:12:07the sudden and impossible sight. Makoto's calm voice spoke the name Akahorakuen, her gaze steady as she

00:12:13stood in the room. The sudden sight left him stiff at the doorway, disbelief written across his face.

00:12:19With a graceful step, she questioned the frozen stance, comparing it to seeing a ghost, her presence

00:12:25filling the space with quiet certainty. Haruto's voice trembled in shock at the sight of Makoto, her composed

00:12:31gaze unwavering as she stood before him. The question rose if the wrong room had been entered,

00:12:36confusion clear in his expression. Yet with calm certainty, she stated there was no mistake.

00:12:42The door signed reading room 301 Akahara Haruto's home, making the encounter all the more baffling.

00:12:48Makoto's cheeks flushed as she said that from now on this room would be her home as well.

00:12:52Her voice calm but firm, leaving Haruto standing frozen, eyes wide in shock at the sudden words.

00:12:58Haruto panicked at the idea of having to move out, but Makoto said no one said to move,

00:13:03confirming she now lived there. With a faint blush, she explained it couldn't be helped,

00:13:08and that she had to live together with Haruto. The door opened fast as Makoto watched calmly,

00:13:14her eyes steady. Haruto froze, thinking it was a prank, looking for the camera and the culprit

00:13:19hiding. The thought hit that this was not like picking up a lost cat on the street,

00:13:24and living together just like that. Makoto asked what was being done, while his hands slipped,

00:13:29and he muttered it was nothing, face red with confusion. Haruto fell back with a flump as books

00:13:34scattered, realizing this was where those books were put away. Makoto held one and asked what book

00:13:40that was. His face turned red and he stammered, saying sorry and promising to clean these up right

00:13:46away. Haruto's eyes widened, realizing Makoto was close, more importantly close enough to see her

00:13:52clearly. Makoto gasped, her face turning red as the moment froze between them. Makoto's face turned

00:13:58red as she called him the worst, demanding where he was looking and saying this was awful,

00:14:03asking if it was on purpose. She swore all boys think are only those kind of stuff,

00:14:08lashing out like a furious cat. Haruto's face turned red as he said sorry, swearing it wasn't on purpose.

00:14:14It was the first time seeing Makoto show this much emotion, while she thought this was the worst

00:14:20and questioned why a girl who hates men had to live with a boy like him. Frustration swirled with

00:14:25confusion, questioning why she agreed if truly against the idea. Words pressed harder, saying

00:14:31now that it was seen, it couldn't be helped, but if so opposed, why come here at all? Makoto flinched

00:14:37slightly, her composed expression faltering for a moment. Makoto's eyes widened as her voice trembled,

00:14:43offering an unsteady apology. Haruto looked on in surprise, caught off guard by the sudden change in

00:14:49her tone and expression. Her cheeks flushed while she asked to be spared, admitting there was nowhere

00:14:54else to go. Makoto stood with a timid look, asking not to be thrown out, while a heavy feeling of

00:15:00guilt sank in like a terrible prank had been done. Thoughts swirled, wondering if she had been thrown

00:15:06out of her home, recalling rumors that she was the daughter of a famous company. More importantly,

00:15:11questions rose about why she had to live in such a cheap apartment, the situation growing more

00:15:16puzzling with each moment. Makoto calmly held up the keys, saying if it's the keys, they are here,

00:15:22while Haruto panicked, asking how she got the keys, and if the doors had been left unlocked.

00:15:27She explained they were given by the person named Akahara Amain, the small cat keychain swinging

00:15:33lightly as his eyes widened at hearing it was from Amain. Haruto thought about a cousin named Amainizan,

00:15:38a university student who was no different from family, and had lived there until recently,

00:15:43now in America studying abroad. The memory made him call her that damn free-spirited woman.

00:15:49Haruto rushed forward, saying screw it, and not caring what time it was in America,

00:15:54deciding to call right now. Thinking the house keys were very important, and she needed to explain

00:15:59herself, the phone rang until a voice answered, hello? This is Amain Akahara, and Haruto replied,

00:16:05this is Haruto. Akahara Haruto. Amainizan greeted with a lively voice, saying it had been a while and

00:16:12asking how Haruto had been, while he firmly said there was an important thing to ask why give the

00:16:17key house to a classmate. She replied calmly, saying it was about time the call came.

00:16:22Amainizan said the keys were given before going abroad, and told Makoto Reisen over the phone that

00:16:27she could live in that house, while Haruto listened with a stunned look as laughter came through the

00:16:32call. Haruto said Amainizan was too carefree and hard to read, and she replied that it couldn't be

00:16:38helped because Makoto Rei could no longer be in her former house. Amainizan said her family's

00:16:43circumstances were difficult, and the house was uninhabitable, so that's why to protect her,

00:16:48as she is a second cousin. Haruto reacted in shock, asking if Makoto-san was really a second cousin,

00:16:55while she added that the girl doesn't trust anyone, and asked if he had already threatened her.

00:17:00Amainizan said to please be kind to her, and let her stay for a while. While Haruto wondered about a

00:17:05high school girl being chased out of her own home, feeling like it was a whole different

00:17:09conversation. As given her situation, feeling threatened in all directions was understandable.

00:17:15Haruto held his head, thinking this was just ridiculous. So many things to retort here,

00:17:20probably 30 or more. The thought lingering that she can't even get her old belongings,

00:17:25as the call ended with a quick need to hurry. Haruto grew tense, thinking studying abroad is difficult,

00:17:31but holy crap how irresponsible can she be. Calling dad but he didn't pick up. The thought

00:17:36pressing that there is no choice but to live with Makoto-san. A sudden sneeze escaping before

00:17:41turning with a curious. Makoto blushed, covering her mouth in surprise. Haruto hurried over saying

00:17:47for now wear him blazer, realizing he forgot to turn on the heater, and promising to turn it on soon.

00:17:53Makoto turned away, blushing and insisting she didn't need it. Refusing with the words not wanting

00:17:58to be indebted. Haruto urging that a cold would be caught. The thought flashing in his mind of

00:18:04what's wrong with this unlovable creature. Picturing a small threatening pose like a tamandwa.

00:18:09Haruto thought she acts like a wary stray cat that got picked up to a new home. Wondering why she's

00:18:14so

00:18:14reluctant to wear it when it's just a coat. A voice reminded that girl doesn't trust anyone and to

00:18:20please be kind to her. Makoto standing quietly as the thought repeated she's a stray cat. Ending with a

00:18:26sigh and the words you don't need to overthink this. Haruto said this is his house, feeling bad

00:18:31to leave someone cold and shivering. But Makoto replied not caring, and saying it's not cold anyway.

00:18:37Making him say don't be stupid, looks worse by the minute, want to freeze to death. Haruto pushed

00:18:42the coat toward her, saying just wear it, and even offering to be indebted if she did. Asking if a

00:18:48blanket was wanted instead. But her soft reply was neither, leaving him pausing before she stepped

00:18:53forward, arms wrapping in a sudden squeeze. Haruto opened the refrigerator with a soft click,

00:18:59looking inside before asking about hot chocolate, honey hot milk, or coffee if milk wasn't liked.

00:19:05Makoto, wrapped in a blanket, sat with a faint blush, saying there was no plan to receive that

00:19:10much from Haruto. Haruto knew Makoto would say that, but no one could ignore it if the one in front

00:19:15looked that cold. Then an idea came, yet doubt remained. Thinking no matter what was done it would be

00:19:21denied, urging to try to read her. Haruto smiled, saying being cold made a drink sound good,

00:19:27and with a guess it was obvious to prepare one, then asked which one. But Makoto quietly chose

00:19:33honey hot milk, making Haruto feel he got her. It seemed the ice goddess didn't like receiving

00:19:38kindness from anyone. While preparing the drink, a thought came to prepare a bath as well.

00:19:43Soon it was done, two warm mugs placed on the table. Makoto held one, shaking it gently before

00:19:49taking a sip. Makoto sipped from the cup, her cheeks warm and eyes gentle. Haruto watched,

00:19:56thinking she only drinks milk here but she's beautiful, feeling a quiet throb inside.

00:20:00Makoto said being really cold made the drink taste good. While Haruto thought maybe the cold

00:20:06made her demeanor lessen, and told her a warm bath was prepared, suggesting to take it after

00:20:11finishing the drink. Haruto stood up, saying to warm up from the cold a warm bath was needed,

00:20:16and Makoto also thought of that, receiving her quiet yes, making him feel he got the hang of this.

00:20:22Makoto, holding her cup. Her eyes widened slightly as she asked what was wrong, while Haruto looked at

00:20:28her in surprise, admitted not having a change of clothes, processing the sudden realization.

00:20:33Then noticed she doesn't wear anything besides school uniform, and doesn't seem like carrying

00:20:38anything. Haruto looked serious, thinking how terrible for a high school girl to be alone out

00:20:43there on a winter night. He quickly turned, and said he'll lend his clothes, telling her to wait

00:20:48here, while she stood still, quiet in her uniform, the air around her calm. He handed over the clothes,

00:20:54saying only his and his dad's old clothes were there, so please bear with it for now. She looked

00:20:59down and quietly said thank you, then asked is this yours, holding the shirt gently. He answered yeah.

00:21:05He smiled and said it's properly washed so don't worry, calling himself quite a precise person after all.

00:21:10She looked over, and said for a high school boy living alone, properly organized, then added

00:21:16thanks. Her voice quiet, as she sat wrapped in the blanket. That reminds came with a spark of thought.

00:21:21Then he asked have you eaten dinner yet. His words followed with do you have any allergies or food

00:21:26you don't like. She looked at him, and said I haven't and not particularly. Her arms still held the

00:21:31clothes as the sound of steps echoed. Then a voice called out, the bath is ready. He said please take

00:21:37a

00:21:37bath first, while she stood with a confused look, and said still have many questions. The door closed,

00:21:43and a quiet thought followed still feel a bit nervous living with Makoto, just the two of us,

00:21:48standing in the kitchen with apron tied. One clear thought filled the air more importantly,

00:21:53is he starving. She stepped forward her cheeks slightly red as she held the red jersey.

00:21:57Her soft eyes looked ahead, calm but warm. He froze, thinking she looks erotic,

00:22:02then stared at the jersey, and thought it's ruined by red jersey. She stared and asked what are you

00:22:07looking at, her hand resting on the red jersey. His face turned red as he asked is the size okay.

00:22:13She looked down and said too big, then asked is there anything smaller. She stood still with a

00:22:18cold stare, arms crossed, saying then it's pointless to ask me in the first place. He looked away and

00:22:24thought now that she's warmed up her cuteness is gone instantly. With a smile he said now that you have

00:22:28warmed up let's eat shall we, then pointed to the table and said Tata, Omurus. She looked down and

00:22:35said didn't say that was hungry, her cheeks slightly red as she held the jersey. He stood by the table

00:22:40and said made this for myself, but made too many, then smiled and added thought it'd be helpful to

00:22:46finish this together. Timidly stepping forward, Makoto's stomach growled, her cheeks warming as she

00:22:51asked if she could eat it, and with the chair rattling, Haruto's eager reply to come and sit filled the

00:22:57moment with sudden warmth. Makoto took a small bite with a soft bit, then covered her mouth as her eyes

00:23:03widened in surprise with the taste. Makoto called Akahara a weird person, saying she wouldn't be so

00:23:09generous, while he smiled softly and wondered if it was really that generous. Makoto mentioned being

00:23:15given a coat and blanket, a warm drink, a warm bath, and food without asking, hearing that if that was

00:23:21not

00:23:21generous then what could it be called, before quietly wondering if being there was allowed, even though it

00:23:26was forced. Saying that considering the circumstances and not knowing her exact situation, it couldn't be

00:23:32done. While she looked down with a faint sparkle in her eyes, Haruto admitted not wanting to leave

00:23:37Makoto alone. Makoto said that even as second cousins they were basically strangers, wondering

00:23:43why it would be thought otherwise, while Haruto repeated the word strangers in response. Haruto said

00:23:49that from today living together meant not being strangers anymore and wanted to at least get along with

00:23:54his housemate, while Makoto's eyes widened at his words. Makoto said about being actually willing to

00:24:00be accepted, thinking of all places lived in and never receiving this kind of treatment, while Haruto

00:24:06looked on in surprise. Makoto thanked him, saying the Omeris was delicious and a wonderful meal, while

00:24:12Haruto thought her smile was beautiful and felt amazed to be sincerely thanked by the ice goddess herself.

00:24:18Makoto's eyes narrowed with resolve, stating won't accept generosity anymore, then affirming that this will be

00:24:24only one in last favor, hands tight on the lap as the room falls quiet, head bowed. A faint tremble

00:24:30surfaces because don't deserve to receive this much kindness, while Akahara Haruto jolts from the

00:24:36chair surprise and tension thick in the air. Haruto looks up, startled, while the thought lands alone

00:24:42and don't even have anything. To have a roof protecting from the rain, and the wind is more than

00:24:46enough, then Makoto lifts her gaze with quiet resolve. Promising before causing any more trouble,

00:24:52will quickly find the next house to live in. At first thought she disliked receiving generosity,

00:24:57but this is more serious, while saying disliked is not wrong. Drinks, baths, meals, can't return the

00:25:04favor or money, and Makoto-san's place would do the same. To have a roof over the head is more

00:25:08than

00:25:09enough, anything else too much. Haruto folds arms, eyes steady, thinking kind of understand where Makoto-san

00:25:15is coming from. A quiet alright settling in. Then, voice firm and earnest, declares won't

00:25:21change stance on this, and adds even so, if any problems please tell. Fingers clenched as Akahara

00:25:27Kuen is called softly, head bowed for a moment before eyes lift with a faint blush and a gentle,

00:25:32amused smile. Then the quiet verdict lands really a weird person leaving the room warm with a shy,

00:25:38tender tension. The night goes on with quiet laughter. Then Haruto says alright and offers Makoto-san

00:25:43the room a main-nizan used to sleep in. Later Makoto slides inside, kneels and looks around,

00:25:49while Haruto stays by the doorway, nervous and surprised. The layout shows connected to

00:25:54Haruto's room by a thin door with no lock. Makoto blushes and says can already see that without

00:25:59telling, Haruto holds head thinking no more room to use except this one, aware she's wary. Hands raised in

00:26:06a pledge, Haruto vows never to come to this side ever, and says if ever comes then please kill.

00:26:11Makoto replies, alright, slightly startled and with a faint blush Makoto says, then,

00:26:17goodnight later and apology is offered for having to sleep with Haruto's jersey. The jersey called too

00:26:22big. A warning careful with footing, or you'll comes too late as a sudden slip sends her off balance.

00:26:28Eyes wide in shock while hair and jacket fly, and he reaches out in alarm as the room tenses.

00:26:34Haruto's face turned red in shock, hands waving fast with frantic words of didn't, while Makoto,

00:26:39blushing and trembling, asked if that was seen, slamming the door before standing with

00:26:44teary eyes and soft sobs, then shouted to definitely find the next place to stay.

00:26:49Hand covering the face, Haruto muttered saw it, while the heavy thought lingered that

00:26:54communication with the ice goddess was now hanging by a thread. Lying awake in the quiet night,

00:26:59eyes wide open, Haruto whispered can't sleep, mind restless when thinking about the person living

00:27:04under the same roof. Especially when that person is the school's number one beauty,

00:27:09Makoto Rei-san. In a vivid imagination, Makoto lay peacefully asleep, so close, her calm breathing

00:27:16and gentle expression filling the quiet, the thought lingering that of course, she's sleeping now.

00:27:21Eyes squeezed shut in frustration, Haruto's thoughts spiraled in panic, questioning what was

00:27:26being imagined, before forcing the mind to stop and shouting inwardly to just go to sleep already.

00:27:32The alarm rang at six, and Haruto lay in bed with a tired stare, thinking that just when sleep finally

00:27:38came, morning had already arrived. Wondering if Makoto-san was still asleep, the decision formed

00:27:44to prepare first. Standing by the door, Haruto called out that breakfast was ready, guessing she

00:27:49might be thinking don't be nice again, then added with a smile that too much was made, so eating

00:27:54together would be a big help. Haruto considered waking her to avoid being late, but hesitated at the

00:28:00thought of her changing. Only for Makoto to suddenly turn in surprise, calling his name with wide eyes.

00:28:06Rushing with the thought that she must still be asleep, the urgency of being late to school pushed

00:28:11every step faster at the moment the entryway came into view, everything froze. The place where her

00:28:16shoes should be lay empty, the quiet air whispering only one thing, she was already gone. Haruto stood

00:28:22still, eyes wide in surprise, the thought flashing, did she just go ahead to school? Hands gripping his head

00:28:28in frustration, thoughts raised sleep deprived, and she just silently left like a ninja. What stung more

00:28:35was the lack of even a simple good morning or goodbye, leaving the morning air feeling strangely

00:28:40empty. And after eating breakfast alone, Haruto headed to school, still restless from a sleepless

00:28:45night. Haruto spotted Makoto already at school, quietly reading with her usual composed air, the thought

00:28:52settling that she had gone ahead after all. Living under the same roof was expected to change daily

00:28:57life eating together, sleeping next to his room, yet the reality felt different. The morning passing

00:29:03with barely a word exchanged. Friends greeted Haruto with cheerful voices, pointing out the

00:29:08tired bags under his eyes, while another laughed that it was just the usual. Eyes down on her desk,

00:29:14and Haruto walked past with a glance, noting it was the usual Makoto-san. Nearby, Makoto sat with her

00:29:21usual don't-talk-to-me aura. Haruto kept a measured distance, knowing that suddenly getting close to

00:29:26Makoto would draw suspicion. Yet the thought lingered that they had grown closer. A glance from her made

00:29:32his heart tighten, the question forming if being overly conscious was his alone. In the end, the

00:29:38feeling settled with a quiet sting guess that was wrong. Even though conversations had flowed before,

00:29:43now Makoto walked ahead with a clear distance, her steps steady, yet avoiding his presence. Haruto's gaze

00:29:49followed, the thought pressing that the space between them felt farther than ever, as if she was frankly

00:29:55avoiding him from the start. Because thoughts were filled with Makoto, focus and class slipped away,

00:30:00and the day ended just like that. Of course, Makoto went home first, leaving the walk back feeling

00:30:06colder, the heart frozen solid. Sleepy and chilled, the only thought was to hurry home, until a sudden

00:30:12sight on the way sparked surprise. Keho's bright voice called out with Yuki close beside, both smiling

00:30:18warmly as they hurried up from behind. Haruto turned in surprise, recognizing them instantly and greeting

00:30:25with a casual remark, only for Keho to point out they had been right there all along. Yukino stepped

00:30:30forward with a shy look, softly saying sorry for surprising Akikon. While beside her, Keho pointed

00:30:36out that there was no realization at all. Haruto, still flustered, asked why the tailing happened,

00:30:42telling her to just talk like a normal person. Keho leaned in with a playful smile, saying was

00:30:48wondering when it would be noticed, while Haruto's voice grew tense, pleading not to be toyed with.

00:30:53Yukino blushed, saying sorry, and that calling made her nervous, while Haruto wondered how after

00:30:59knowing each other since middle school there was still nervousness. A sharp glare came as Keho stepped

00:31:04forward, warning not to come any closer. Thinking of joking with Keho like always, Haruto remembered and

00:31:11wondered why Yuki tried so hard. Thinking how thanks to her, Keho and Haruto managed to get along again,

00:31:17the quiet and reserved Yuki always reeling her in. Keho lifted her arms with a bright smile,

00:31:23saying as of why followed, while Haruto stepped back in surprise. Keho leaned in with a bright smile,

00:31:29saying it was to ask a favor, while Haruto froze with wide eyes, stammering a question in flushing red,

00:31:35his voice trembling that she was too close. Yukino looked flustered, telling Keho not to tell everything,

00:31:41but Keho cheerfully explained how Yuki wanted to play a newly released game and felt lonely playing alone.

00:31:47With a playful wink and a bright smile, Keho asked if they could play it at Haruto's house.

00:31:53Haruto froze in shock, thinking how even Keho never came to the house anymore after rejecting him,

00:31:58now realizing both of them were going to visit. The surprise turned into excitement, calling it good

00:32:04news thanks to Yuki wanting to play, seeing her as a savior, and feeling certain they could finally

00:32:09get back together as friends. Haruto's face turned pale in shock, realizing they would find out about

00:32:15living together with Makoto-san. And while playing, there was the chance Makoto-san might come home,

00:32:21or was already there making their encounter inevitable. Thoughts raced about how a boy and a girl

00:32:26sharing a home would look suspicious, thinking it was painful but necessary to turn her down.

00:32:31Standing before the two girls with a conflicted look, Keho looked up with hopeful eyes, asking if

00:32:37they could come. While Haruto's face tensed with hesitation, Keho's eyes widened slightly,

00:32:42a hint of worry in her voice as she wondered if it was because of her, then her lips curved

00:32:47into a warm

00:32:48smile, brushing it off with a bright laugh, saying it was just playing with friends and nothing to worry

00:32:53about. And Keho smiled brightly, saying he should be happy because two beautiful girls like her

00:32:59and Yuki would come to his house. Haruto waved his hands nervously, saying he'd actually welcome them,

00:33:05but had an errand to do alone, apologizing quickly, while Yukino looked flustered at Keho's words.

00:33:11Haruto bowed his head in frustration, apologizing to Keho, while she smiled gently, saying living alone

00:33:17was hard and she was sorry for suddenly asking. Inside, Haruto's thoughts spun, knowing it was a

00:33:24good chance yet forcing himself to refuse, telling himself there would be another chance as they had

00:33:29just started getting along again. Yukino watched closely, thinking about protecting Makoto-san's

00:33:34good name and doing the right thing, then stopped and pointed ahead, saying isn't that, making Haruto

00:33:40the same class as Akiko and Keho turned to look. Two boys stood in front of Makoto, recognizing her as

00:33:45the girl in the same class as Akiko and Keho. Nearby, Yukino said she was famous as the ice goddess,

00:33:52while Keho noted even Yuki from the neighboring class knew her, and Haruto stared in surprise,

00:33:57calling out Makoto-san's name. Makoto pulled her arm away from a boy's grip, her expression tense.

00:34:03Seeing this, Haruto realized she looked uncomfortable and in trouble, quickly saying he would check on her,

00:34:09while Yukino warned it was dangerous. Keho grabbed Haruto's arm, her eyes filled with concern as she

00:34:15asked him not to fight, while Yukino watched anxiously. Haruto paused, realizing these two

00:34:21knew him from middle school and were worried about him. Haruto gave a reassuring smile, saying not to

00:34:26worry and that he wouldn't fight, then ran ahead, telling them it was dangerous and they should go

00:34:31home first, leaving his bag behind as Keho called out his name in concern. Makoto stood facing three

00:34:37boys in a deserted, run-down area near an empty escalator, her eyes sharp with suspicion as she

00:34:43asked why they had brought her to such a filthy place and what they were planning. Makoto shudders

00:34:48with Y, startled eyes as the situation takes an unexpected turn. Several male students gather

00:34:54around, one mentioning they told him to rough someone up for a bit. A student smirks dismissively,

00:35:00saying he'll leave that to imagination, while Makoto stands behind asking who.

00:35:04The tension escalates as another student approaches menacingly, stating they're free to do what they

00:35:10please on how to rough someone up. A hand reaches toward Makoto as she reacts with wide, shocked

00:35:15eyes, her face filled with fear and surprise. The situation intensifies as multiple students

00:35:21surround them, with one commenting that's a good reaction, while another tells her to please behave,

00:35:26since she doesn't want to get hurt. The situation escalates as hands reach toward Makoto,

00:35:31who cries out in distress with wide, frightened eyes. A voice questions what she ate to make

00:35:36something this big, while Makoto's expression shows pure terror and helplessness. Makoto cries out

00:35:42desperately, pleading for them to stop and not touch her, tears streaming down her face as she's

00:35:47overwhelmed by fear. The bullies react with shock and pain, one complaining that this underestimated

00:35:53them, while another cries out that it hurt. It turns chaotic as one of them angrily questions if this

00:36:00means they can rough her up all the way. Makoto crouches alone by the school building, her long

00:36:05hair falling around her as the bullies walk away in the distance, defeated and retreating. Makoto's

00:36:11tears flow as she whispers she hates this and pleads for someone to please save her. Haruto suddenly

00:36:17bursts forward with fierce determination, charging ahead to help her in the chaotic moment. Makoto stares with

00:36:23wide, shocked eyes as the bullies cry out in surprise. Haruto stands protectively beside her,

00:36:29both appearing disheveled after the intense confrontation, breathing heavily as they face

00:36:34the aftermath together. Makoto looks up, surprised and confused, asking Akahorakoin why he is here.

00:36:41Haruto, breathing heavily, says he finally found her and that entering an abandoned building like this is

00:36:47too much. Around them, the bullies lie defeated, one shouting angrily about where that person came from.

00:36:53Haruto's eyes show sweat and apology, saying sorry to Keiho. Keiho holds his arm tightly,

00:36:59her eyes full of worry, asking Haruto not to fight. She admits she can't keep her promise,

00:37:04showing sadness and tension between them. Breaking promises is not liked, and mixing up in this is

00:37:10avoided. Even so, seeing Makoto-san scared and on the verge of tears makes abandoning her impossible.

00:37:16The eyes shine with tears, face flushed with emotion, showing strong feelings and worry.

00:37:22He rushed forward, arms wide with fierce spirit, shielding her friend while vowing swear I'll protect

00:37:27her. With all strength poured into the rush, Akahara Haruto stepped in front, standing firm to

00:37:33shield Makoto-rei. Strange men closed in along the narrow alley, their purpose unknown, the threat heavy

00:37:40in the air. Questions lingered about what they wanted and what Makoto-rei had done, but his determined

00:37:45stance left no room for fear, only the will to protect her. Haruto stands in front, ready to face

00:37:52the others as they ask who he is. Rei stays close behind, looking worried. The others are shocked,

00:37:57and say he easily knocked one of their guys out. One boy lies on the ground, surprised and groaning.

00:38:03The group watches Haruto and Rei closely, feeling tense and unsure what will happen next. A boy moves fast,

00:38:10saying getting paid to beat up this woman, and warning not to get in the way. A punch is thrown

00:38:15fiercely. A shout warns to watch out. A girl closes her eyes, anxious and sweaty. Haruto strikes hard,

00:38:22knocking the boy away. The boy stumbles back, shocked and unable to respond. Haruto stands steady,

00:38:29focused and ready for more. Haruto charges forward with determination, shouting damn,

00:38:34as he crashes into the bullies attacking Makoto. The attackers cry out in shock and pain as they're

00:38:40knocked down by his sudden intervention. Afterwards, Haruto stands breathing heavily while Makoto looks

00:38:45up at him with wide, tearful eyes, surprised that someone came to save her. Haruto extends his hand

00:38:51urgently, calling Makoto-san and saying let's get out of here with determination. Makoto looks up at him

00:38:57with wide, tearful eyes, seeing the hand offered to help her escape. Their hands clasp together as

00:39:03they escape. Haruto says hold on for now with determined concern. Makoto grips his hand, blushing

00:39:09as she whispers I, hand with surprised eyes. Haruto tells Makoto let's get to the main street for now,

00:39:15as they catch their breath after escaping. They continue running as Haruto says all right,

00:39:21made it to the main street, Makoto, with relief while she follows beside him,

00:39:24both finally reaching safety. Haruto says all right, made it to the main street, Makoto as

00:39:30they reach safety. Suddenly Makoto trips and falls, while Haruto calls out Makoto-san in alarm

00:39:36as she tumbles down the steps. Haruto rushes to help Makoto, asking her okay, sorry,

00:39:42rushed too much while she says ouch on the ground. Makoto struggles but says it's okay, more importantly,

00:39:47need to get away quickly, showing determination despite the pain. Haruto asks Makoto-san,

00:39:53did hurt foot just now with concern as she sits in pain? Makoto says hate it more if got caught

00:39:58because of and what are saying, if got that. Haruto tells her Akahara coin, run away on own with

00:40:04determined expression. They'll catch with frustration. Makoto looks at Haruto with tears, saying why did come

00:40:10to such a dangerous place and never ask to save? Akahara-kun with frustration. She says just want to

00:40:16escape, even if it's only Akahara-kun, while looking down. Put that aside and a while ago yelled help.

00:40:23Haruto listens shocked as she says that was. Haruto looks determined saying can't, can't do that,

00:40:29and saying something like that even in this situation with fierce eyes. Makoto looks surprised

00:40:34as he says wouldn't have come here if just said understand and ran away. Haruto declares already

00:40:39decide to save and protect. Makoto while she gazes at him with amazed eyes. Haruto kneels beside Makoto,

00:40:46gently placing his hands on her shoulders as he says let's go home. Makoto looks up at him with wide,

00:40:52surprised eyes, still shaken from what just happened. Haruto's face shows deep concern as he

00:40:58thinks about going through this scary experience and feeling pain, worrying about when she doesn't

00:41:02have to, realizing he can't leave her alone. Haruto helps Makoto sit up as she responds okay. Then

00:41:09Makoto looks at him with blushing cheeks, asking if he's going to give her a piggyback, calling piggyback

00:41:14a cute way of saying it as Makoto covers her face in embarrassment. While Haruto explains it's just

00:41:20a normal way to say it, Makoto closes her eyes with a gentle smile, telling Akahara-kun that he

00:41:25really is something, then opens her eyes with a soft gaze as Haruto carries her on his back,

00:41:30while Makoto rests against him thinking really strange as she experiences the warmth and closeness,

00:41:36saying right with a peaceful expression. Haruto sighs while carrying Makoto, who asks if he's thinking

00:41:42about something weird, calling it an emergency, and saying he can't have impure thoughts.

00:41:47As Haruto panics thinking this soft feeling, and worrying if Makoto-san found out he was thinking

00:41:52like this, Makoto calls Haruto a liar as he says he's really sorry. Then Haruto insists he's not

00:41:58thinking about anything at all, soft or marshmallows or that at all, while Makoto looks down with gentle

00:42:04eyes saying it's okay to think about weird things, but just this once. Mikoto softly says yes while

00:42:09blushing with closed eyes, then opens them with a surprised expression asking oh thank,

00:42:14as her voice trails off with uncertainty. The bullies wonder where Haruto and Makoto went,

00:42:20asking hey where did they go, while their leader angrily shouts don't let them get away,

00:42:24and that they should have gone this way as they search frantically through the area.

00:42:29Makoto responds yeah as she holds onto Haruto while they hide, saying they're already catching up

00:42:33and they recovered fast, then urges this is tough and they need to hurry Makoto-san,

00:42:38as the sound of footsteps approaches their hiding spot. Haruto carries Makoto on his back as they

00:42:44move through the area, both breathing heavily from their escape. Haruto pants heavily, sweat dripping

00:42:50as he carries Makoto who blushes and says Akaharikuen is pretty strong to carry her so easily and run.

00:42:56She relief that they got away while he breathes hard, simply saying because of the situation.

00:43:01Makoto sits quietly and asks really while Haruto comments that Makoto-san is really light.

00:43:06She blushes and mentions going into the room being used, asking that a side need to treat the wounds.

00:43:13Haruto feels surprised that he took those guys down so easily, while Makoto responds well,

00:43:18well, being through a lot in the past and used to it. He reassures her there's nothing going on so

00:43:23don't mind, his tone gentle as they settle into safety. Haruto asks alright, can take off socks while

00:43:29Makoto blushes and quietly says to treat the injury, her face showing embarrassment as she hesitates in the

00:43:35quiet room. Mikoto cries out Kaia while Haruto panics saying sorry, didn't see anything. She

00:43:41frantically explains ran out of medical tape, so using a plaster instead of this, Haruto apologizes

00:43:47profusely, promising sorry. We'll finish quickly as both their faces turn red from the embarrassing

00:43:53situation. While desperately saying pervert, we'll hold skirt down. Mikoto sits calmly saying don't worry

00:43:59about it. It's better to have someone else do it since hands are shaking, so it's dangerous to do it

00:44:04myself. Haruto looks flustered responding sorry, maybe just being a nuisance as he tends to her

00:44:10wound in the quiet room. She continues asking doing this for me, right, her eyes focused on him.

00:44:16Haruto responds don't apologize, Makoto Kuen, his voice gentle as they sit together in the quiet

00:44:21moment. Mikoto looks at Haruto with a serious expression, saying there's something need to say.

00:44:27Mikoto sits on the floor with a gentle expression, thanking Haruto so much for saving her when she was

00:44:33being attacked and for carrying her all the way back here. Haruto sits nearby with a modest blush.

00:44:39Mikoto looks with gentle, grateful eyes as she speaks about taking care of her injuries,

00:44:44expressing that she's grateful for everything. Haruto gazes back with concerned surprise as her

00:44:49heartfelt words fill the quiet moment between them. Mikoto closes her eyes with a gentle expression,

00:44:55saying that today is really, really the last day she'll thank him. Mikoto insists that she does worry

00:45:00about it, while Haruto tells her that she doesn't have to worry about it. Mikoto looks down with a

00:45:06gentle smile, saying that Haruto's bandaging skills were great even though it tickled a bit. She then

00:45:12gazes at him softly, commenting that Haruto is really good at everything, not just housework,

00:45:17while Haruto responds with a modest laugh. While Mikoto asks if his mother taught him how to do these

00:45:22things, Haruto responds hesitantly. Haruto looks down sadly, as Mikoto listens quietly when he reveals that he

00:45:29doesn't have a mother, he explaining that he tried to learn how to do everything himself.

00:45:34Haruto looks down sadly, as he explains that she passed away and got caught in the big fire in

00:45:39Hazuki, while Mikoto listens with surprised eyes. The scene darkens as Haruto continues,

00:45:45saying it took their two-story house and his mother, as well as Amei Nisen's parents,

00:45:50describing the disaster that struck Hazuki City where they live.

00:45:53Haruto waves his hands, saying it's okay, and he was the one who brought it up.

00:45:57While Mikoto covers her face, saying sorry for being insensitive, Haruto asks if he can ask a

00:46:03question too, suggesting they call it even, while Mikoto responds sure with a surprised look.

00:46:09Haruto asks why those guys were harassing Mikoto, wondering if she has any idea about it.

00:46:14Mikoto sits quietly, saying she's sorry to bring up something unpleasant, but needs to tell him.

00:46:20The moment feels heavy as she prepares to reveal the truth behind the attack.

00:46:24Mikoto sits with a troubled expression. Haruto tells Mikoto she doesn't have to answer if she

00:46:29won't want to. She reveals the person who probably ordered them to attack her,

00:46:34her face showing the weight of knowing who is behind the danger, then admits she has an idea

00:46:39who it is. Mikoto looks up with tears as she whispers about her family. In the darkness,

00:46:44her voice breaks as she reveals her family hates her, the painful truth finally spoken.

00:46:49Haruto stares with shocked eyes as Mikoto repeats her family hates her.

00:46:53Haruto's face shows concern as he asks they hate her and why, trying to understand her painful

00:46:59situation. Mikoto looks down sadly, explaining because she's an illegitimate child. Mikoto turns

00:47:05away saying she's sorry, but can't say any more. Haruto stares shocked, repeating illegitimate,

00:47:11as he processes her words. He calls out Mikoto-san with deep concern, overwhelmed by her painful

00:47:17revelation. A phone shows a message making Haruto react with surprise. Mikoto suddenly cries out in

00:47:23shock and distress. Haruto grabs his phone apologizing, saying sorry forgot to contact,

00:47:29his expression urgent as he realizes he needs to reach someone. Haruto speaks on the phone saying

00:47:34he's really sorry and both Mikoto-san and he are safe. Someone shouts they called so many times and

00:47:40waited for him. Haruto looks troubled explaining he left Keiho and Yuki behind at that time,

00:47:45realizing he abandoned his friends. Mikoto looks gently saying she'll explain at school tomorrow.

00:47:51Someone asks what's going on. Mikoto turns away gracefully, her hair flowing as she prepares

00:47:57to end the conversation until they meet at school. Thinking Mikoto-san didn't want to trouble him.

00:48:03Mikoto-san became silent as the discussion became vague, her figure sitting quietly while Haruto

00:48:09processes the weight of everything that happened and the secrets she's still keeping from him.

00:48:13Haruto reflects that his long day ended leaving a troubling feeling in his mind.

00:48:18Haruto and Mikoto stand close together, both blushing as she speaks about how even though

00:48:23their eyes don't meet yet, something deeper is growing between them. Haruto cooks breakfast alone,

00:48:29steam rising from the pan as he thinks about how Mikoto-san left for school before him,

00:48:34making him feel a little lonely after waking up earlier than yesterday. His worried expression

00:48:39reveals he can't leave her alone, too concerned about Mikoto-san after yesterday's troubling

00:48:44events. Haruto sits eating when Mikoto appears sleepily saying good morning Akahara-kun, noting

00:48:50he's up early. He responds good morning Mikoto-san while she stands half asleep in fluffy pajamas.

00:48:56Haruto thinks it's hard to believe she's called the ice goddess at school with this fluffy look,

00:49:01finding her cute as she rubs her sleepy eyes. Mikoto makes a confused sound as her hair flows,

00:49:06then suddenly stumbles forward. Haruto shouts watch out as she falls toward him,

00:49:11both tumbling together. The fall ends with them in an awkward position,

00:49:15Haruto's face red as he panics asking Mikoto-san if she's okay and mentioning lingering pain in her

00:49:21leg. Haruto and Mikoto lie close together after the fall, both breathing heavily as Mikoto softly says

00:49:27ah. The scene shifts as Mikoto sits up apologizing, saying sorry didn't mean to, while Haruto remains

00:49:33flustered below, both still processing their unexpected closeness. Mikoto covers her face,

00:49:39saying she has terrible fever, while Haruto looks shocked, calling Mikoto-san. Haruto thinks she's

00:49:44been walking around without winter clothes and freezing cold plus all the stress, realizing no

00:49:50wonder she caught a cold. His worried expression shows as he thinks this must be a cold, and a serious

00:49:55one at that. Haruto tells Mikoto she's not fine at all, and he'll get a thermometer as she coughs.

00:50:01Mikoto weakly says she's fine but keeps coughing. She collapses while insisting she's fine and can go

00:50:06to school, as Haruto watches with concern, seeing her condition is worse than she admits.

00:50:12Haruto caught Mikoto as she collapsed, shouting that she can't push herself. The thermometer showed

00:50:1839.4 degrees Celsius, while Mikoto lay weakly saying no school, her fever clearly too high to ignore.

00:50:25Mikoto lay weakly calling out pathetic with tears in her eyes.

00:50:28She whispered to Akahara-kun that she was going to school, her voice fading as the fever overwhelmed

00:50:34her. Haruto sat with his head down wondering what should he do. Leaving a sick person alone troubled

00:50:39him, but from Mikoto's perspective it might be an unnecessary concern. Haruto reached out his hand

00:50:46as Mikoto gripped it tightly. She looked up with fevered eyes whispering stay by my side,

00:50:51her weak voice filled with need. Haruto stared with wide eyes,

00:50:55his face showing complete shock as he muttered in disbelief. Mikoto looked up at him with teary,

00:51:01fevered eyes, softly saying ah as the moment hung between them. Haruto sat nearby holding his head

00:51:07in his hands, overwhelmed and telling himself to forget what she said. Haruto curled up saying he

00:51:12didn't say anything like that. Haruto covered his face telling Mikoto-san what she just said about

00:51:18feeling lonely right. Haruto smiled gently with determination, saying he really can't leave Mikoto-san

00:51:24who has a cold alone. Haruto called his teacher saying excuse me sensei, this is Akahara and he'll

00:51:30skip school today too. He then sent Keho a message saying he's taking the day off, so the explanation

00:51:35will have to wait, sorry. Mikoto coughed weakly as Haruto said he can do it. Though he knows this is

00:51:41hard, but can she call the school? Mikoto praised him saying he's as efficient as ever while

00:51:46Haruto offered her water, saying let's start with water and here's a glass. Haruto asked if she

00:51:52finished the call with a good job, telling her to just rest now okay. Mikoto drank water with a flushed

00:51:58face from her fever. Haruto covered his face saying he just felt like taking a day off, while Mikoto

00:52:03protested it's not because of her, saying Akahara-kun skipped school because of her. Mikoto looked down

00:52:09sadly calling Haruto a liar. She apologized saying sorry with a gentle expression. Haruto panicked telling

00:52:15Mikoto-san to just rest peacefully as she leaned against him weakly. Haruto stands quietly, recalling

00:52:22how he made sure Mikoto didn't catch a cold. But the day before yesterday when it was cold, he had

00:52:27prepared clothes, drinks, a bath, and food for her. Mikoto lies in bed with a gentle expression, admitting

00:52:33that she ended up catching a cold anyway despite his careful preparations. Haruto stands with wide eyes,

00:52:39telling Mikoto-san that's not something she needs to apologize for. Mikoto lies under blankets,

00:52:45saying she couldn't do something so selfish in that situation, while Haruto sits nearby thinking

00:52:50that if she had worn his coat, it would have been different, and there she goes again. Haruto looks

00:52:55up with earnest eyes and a gentle expression, wishing that Mikoto would just accept his kindness as it is,

00:53:01saying that would make him happy. Mikoto looks up with wide, surprised eyes and a gentle blush,

00:53:07quietly asking really. Haruto responds with a warm smile, telling Mikoto-san she doesn't have to worry

00:53:13about it and to just rely on him, while Mikoto listens with a touched expression, softly repeating

00:53:19really. Mikoto looks with gentle, tearful eyes, feeling touched by his words. Haruto sits with a

00:53:25worried expression, saying he even ran out of cooling patches, but he's missing too many things to take care

00:53:31of her properly. Haruto stands by the window telling Mikoto to stay put while he's gone and don't open

00:53:37the door even if someone comes. Mikoto lies in bed with a fevered face, feeling like she's being

00:53:43treated like a kid as she responds weakly from under the covers. Mikoto tosses restlessly in bed,

00:53:49her fever making her shift uncomfortably under the blankets as time passes on the clock.

00:53:54Her fevered eyes gaze upward as she murmurs him softly, sweat glistening on her flushed face while

00:54:00lost in her feverish state. Mikoto lies in bed with wide eyes looking surprised, while Haruto sits nearby,

00:54:06quietly reading a book. The scene shows Haruto focused on reading, then his hand resting gently

00:54:11near Mikoto as she sleeps peacefully under the covers. While Mikoto sits on the bed, saying she

00:54:17wants some water, Haruto looks surprised asking oh, woke up. What's wrong as he turns to see Mikoto awake

00:54:24and asking for water? Haruto says got it, wait a moment as he stands up. Haruto thinks wait, hold on

00:54:30as

00:54:31he watches Mikoto drink water, then hands her the glass saying here go. Mikoto takes it and says thank

00:54:37you softly. Haruto realizes with shock that this is the first time Mikoto-san has asked him for something

00:54:43so directly, his face showing surprise at this breakthrough moment between them. Mikoto says well

00:54:48softly while Haruto asks no, nothing. Is there anything else needed? Mikoto looks confused asking what

00:54:54is Haruto becomes flustered. Haruto mentions already made some porridge, while Mikoto says a little hungry

00:55:00maybe, both sitting together quietly. Haruto suggests maybe a new cooling patch too, and also replace

00:55:07the cooling patch. While Mikoto looks at him with gentle eyes thinking could it be that following

00:55:11advice about accepting kindness and really doing it for her. Mikoto responds yes, Haruto asks have cough

00:55:18medicine. Do you want to take it? Mikoto says can do that myself while Haruto eagerly offers Tuken

00:55:23with a bright expression, showing his continued care and concern for her illness. Mikoto calls out

00:55:29out, Akahara-kun softly with a gentle expression. Mikoto gazes ahead with sparkling eyes saying ah,

00:55:35thank you with a heartfelt voice, her face showing tender emotion and gratitude. Haruto looks surprised

00:55:41with wide eyes in the top panel. And maybe it's because she's weak from the cold, but...

00:55:46Haruto smiles warmly, saying welcome while thanking the Mikoto-san, who kept saying this is the last

00:55:52time, thank has finally stopped that. Mikoto sits wrapped in blankets, holding a cup with a gentle

00:55:58expression, as she admits it's a relief to see that she is genuinely accepting kindness now.

00:56:03Haruto sits nearby with a bright smile, his face glowing with happiness as he says he's so happy,

00:56:09clearly overjoyed that Mikoto has finally opened her heart to receiving his care.

00:56:13Mikoto sits with her cup, saying she feels like getting much better, while Haruto checks something,

00:56:19mentioning that her fever is back down and asking about her back. Suddenly both freeze in complete

00:56:24shock and panic, their faces filled with embarrassment as an unexpected and startling

00:56:29moment catches them completely off guard. Mikoto lies with flushed cheeks and flowing hair,

00:56:35resting peacefully. Haruto covers his face in panic, frantically saying sorry while asking why not

00:56:40he's not wearing anything about, his voice filled with embarrassment as the awkward moment unfolds

00:56:45between them. Mikoto sits calmly on the bathroom floor with a gentle smile, saying she's the one

00:56:51who should be sorry for spilling it. Haruto panics with his face covered, frantically apologizing and

00:56:57insisting they clean the floor later. Change clothes first since the cold might get worse. Mikoto sits with

00:57:03tears forming in her eyes, asking why bringing that up now with an emotional expression. She looks up with a

00:57:09gentle but vulnerable face, mentioning she asked this before but Akahara-kun, wondering why so kind

00:57:15to her as the weight of his continuous kindness overwhelms her heart. Mikoto asks while looking away

00:57:20with a curious expression. Haruto's mind races thinking could it be she doesn't realize her

00:57:25underwear is see-through, his face red with embarrassment. He nervously tells her to look

00:57:30straight in the eyes and say it, explaining that's because related, while his thoughts scream because

00:57:35can see Mikoto-san's underwear. Haruto's mind spirals in confusion as he thinks this seems like

00:57:41a serious conversation but can't focus at all. Mikoto sits close, saying if he's so kind to her,

00:57:47it's making her something. Haruto looks away nervously. Mikoto covers her face, feeling like

00:57:53she might misunderstand, while Haruto says before they start a normal conversation, there's something to

00:57:59tell her. Mikoto looks shocked with wide eyes as Haruto tells her that her clothes have been see-through

00:58:04this whole time, his hand raised nervously while looking away embarrassed. Mikoto sits frozen in

00:58:10complete shock, realizing the embarrassing situation she's been in. Haruto thinks she wants to cover up

00:58:15with a blanket, but he'll feel bad about it getting wet. He tells her to change clothes first, saying

00:58:21that's okay, and he'll step out of the room for now. Mikoto sits in shock, calling him calm. In the

00:58:27bottom

00:58:27panel, Haruto waits outside in the hallway while she changes. Haruto thinks he might be happier about

00:58:33seeing the flustered Mikoto-san than her in underwear, maybe. He reflects she was so cute

00:58:38and heartwarming that he couldn't help it. He notes Mikoto-san has surprisingly careless moments,

00:58:43and it makes him worried sometimes. Haruto hears a voice saying,

00:58:47Haruto, I came to visit, and wonders who there's a guest, who could it be?

00:58:52His face shows shock as he recognizes this voice. Haruto panics, thinking this is bad. Keho has a spare

00:58:58key because they're childhood friends. Keho smiles brightly, saying she came to check on him.

00:59:04Haruto worries if she comes in like this. Haruto panics, thinking if she finds out he's living with

00:59:09Mikoto-san, she might get the wrong idea. Both Keho and Mikoto appear in his worried imagination,

00:59:15as he stands frozen with his hands up nervously. Keho explains they only had class in the morning,

00:59:21so here she is. She brought lots of stuff for him. Ice cream and some packs of porridge for his

00:59:26recovery. Keho smiles brightly while holding the items she brought to help him feel better. Keho says

00:59:32not answering, and guesses she'll use the spare key, while Haruto sweats nervously at the door.

00:59:38Haruto panics, thinking in this situation, they'll definitely run into each other. Mikoto-san is in the

00:59:44room at the back, while at the door is Keho. Haruto worries if it gets out that he's living with

00:59:49Mikoto-san. They might misunderstand and think they're lovers or in some indecent relationship.

00:59:54He panics, thinking he has no choice but to have Mikoto-san hide, grabbing his head in distress.

01:00:00Haruto burst through the door, calling Mikoto-san about an emergency, completely forgetting she was

01:00:06changing clothes. Mikoto sat calmly in her undergarments as Haruto froze in shock, his face

01:00:11turning red while desperately covering his eyes. He frantically apologized, saying sorry, and that he

01:00:17forgot she were changing, while she remained composed despite the awkward situation. Haruto panicked,

01:00:23realizing Keho was seriously at his house, asking Sasaki-san with shock. Keho called out

01:00:28Hey, Haruto cheerfully from outside, while Haruto desperately wondered what should he do in this

01:00:33crisis. Mikoto appeared asking could he be sleeping, saying she was going out without permission,

01:00:39while Haruto frantically whispered that she was coming in and panicked about what should he do.

01:00:43Haruto said they would hide because they didn't want them to know they were living together,

01:00:48telling Mikoto to hide in her room. Mikoto quietly said okay, while Haruto apologized that he should

01:00:54be the one apologizing. Haruto told Keho that since she wasn't feeling well, he would make sure she

01:00:59leaves soon, while Mikoto whispered please take care of the rest. Mikoto whispered pardon the intrusion,

01:01:05while Haruto confidently said got it. Haruto greeted Keho cheerfully in the kitchen,

01:01:10telling her to come in without permission and apologizing for it. Keho noticed something

01:01:15saying Haru looked totally fine, while Haruto thought maybe she collapsed from a fever and

01:01:20couldn't reply, nervously laughing and saying not that. Haruto said alright let's make rice porridge

01:01:26while coming in. Keho offered to also clean up Haru's room on his behalf while at it, saying please

01:01:32go ahead. The messy room was shown with scattered items everywhere. Haruto nervously said he cleaned

01:01:37regularly while Keho looked surprised asking what, it's so clean. Haruto said the room next to mine

01:01:43is already Mikoto-san's room and didn't want to let her in. Keho said the room hasn't changed since

01:01:49last time she came, noting that the last time was half a year ago. Haruto remembered the last time

01:01:54Keho came to this house was the day he confessed to Keho. Keho said that's right. Haruto remembered

01:02:00Keho rejected me at this house, thinking can't see Haruto that way. Keho said mom told me to bring

01:02:06it for him, adding brought a lot of stuff thanks. Haruto noticed the plastic bag while Keho smiled

01:02:12at him. Haruto asked what in shock. Keho asks if Haruto looks totally fine after all, wondering if

01:02:18he did skip class on purpose. Haruto worries for nothing, thinking if Keho sees that he's fine,

01:02:24she'll leave right away, explaining he skipped class just to rest a bit and wasn't feeling great,

01:02:30knowing he wouldn't be able to hide it. He apologizes for making Keho come all this way,

01:02:35saying as she can see, he's totally fine. Haruto tells Keho she's probably busy,

01:02:40so feel free to head back, thinking he feels bad about locking up Mikoto-san when she's not feeling

01:02:45well. She mentions it's been a while since she last came over, and he could be a little more

01:02:50welcoming. Keho looks at him with gentle eyes, then says she's really happy he came and appreciates

01:02:55the stuff brought. But there's something she needs to do. Keho asks Haruto if he's still mad

01:03:00that she turned him down. Haruto responds about what, looking confused. Keho explains that was her

01:03:06choice, asking why would she be mad, whether he accepted, rejected, or decided to take a chance.

01:03:13Haruto says no, he's not mad at all. Keho asks so he's not trying to kick her out because he's

01:03:18mad

01:03:18at her, while Haruto responds of course not. Keho cheerfully says to at least let her eat the ice

01:03:24cream she bought before she leaves. She explains that was supposed to be her get-well gift,

01:03:29saying she got the limited edition, kind of pricey one, and wants to eat it too. He's glad.

01:03:34Haruto thinks he doesn't want to see Keho with a sad face. After all, Keho notices Haruto looks

01:03:40good too, and says she already took a bite, so they can't swap. She then leans in close to Haruto,

01:03:46cheerfully asking for just a bite, please, while holding her ice cream toward him with a bright

01:03:51smile. Haruto says tasty after trying the ice cream. His face turns bright red as he realizes

01:03:57the indirect kiss situation. Keho notices his reaction, saying whoa, Haruto, his face is bright

01:04:02red, then asks if nothing's wrong, and if he's not really sick, are he? Keho realizes, but he's not

01:04:09sick in comments that he really is such a person. Haruto stammers, saying he's really no good at this kind

01:04:14of thing, admitting he's not good with situations like this while looking flustered and embarrassed.

01:04:20Keho mentions by that quiet, timid, and soft Yuki. Even Yuki got mad about it once. She recalls

01:04:26after turning down Haruto's confession, and things got awkward after, saying it was a while ago. Keho

01:04:32explains because she acted in a way that could have misled him, and that ended up hurting him. That's

01:04:37what Yuki said. Keho says she's been with Haruto since grade school, and just took that for granted.

01:04:43She recalls Yuki helped her, and Keho talk again after the confession, mentioning that really

01:04:48happened. Haruto thinks he never thought anything of it, eating in each other's rooms, walking home

01:04:53together, hanging together. Keho then says, but it was different for him, wasn't it, Haruto? Haruto

01:04:59stands defensively with flustered expression, frantically denying any inappropriate intentions,

01:05:05as he declares never pushed her down, and doesn't plan to either. His face shows clear embarrassment

01:05:10and shock at the accusation, hands gesturing as he tries to explain himself while sweat beads form

01:05:16on his forehead from the uncomfortable confrontation about his behavior with someone. Keho questions if

01:05:21that's really true, while stirring something in a bowl. Haruto looks confused, asking what that's

01:05:27supposed to mean. Keho leans closer with a gentle smile, quoting that love begins with the contact of

01:05:32souls, and ends with the contact of mucous membranes, asking if Haruto has heard that saying before.

01:05:38Keho explains it's a French proverb, apparently, describing how a man and women get to know each

01:05:44other, connect emotionally, and become lovers. She continues explaining that then they kiss.

01:05:50Haruto looks shocked and flustered at her blunt explanation. The scene shows Haruto's panicked

01:05:55reaction as Keho calmly delivers this frank discussion about relationships, with Haruto appearing overwhelmed

01:06:01by her directness about intimate matters. Keho concludes that's where love ends while leaning close to

01:06:07Haruto. She laughs softly, then asks if Haruto just imagined having sleep with her. Haruto panics and

01:06:13denies it, saying he wasn't doing that, while Keho teases him asking what he's doing then. The scene

01:06:19shows Haruto's flustered reaction as Keho playfully confronts him about his thoughts during their

01:06:25intimate conversation. Keho asks what that's supposed to mean, then directly states that Haruto likes her,

01:06:31right. Haruto looks confused and flustered at her direct question. Keho continues saying,

01:06:36so that means, Haruto panics asking what the heck Keho is saying and what's wrong with her. Keho calmly

01:06:42explains that besides being a healthy high school boy, doesn't Haruto want to kiss Keho, though she

01:06:48didn't confess with that meaning in mind. She continues that it's not like she's saying Haruto had lewd intentions,

01:06:54but love just means touching the other person and satisfying sexual desires, adding there's nothing

01:06:59beyond that. Keho admits she doesn't really understand love and can't even imagine kissing

01:07:04or having sleep with Haruto. Haruto looks confused, saying he doesn't understand what Keho is trying

01:07:10to say. Haruto expresses he wants more than that, while Keho asks why can't they just stay good friends.

01:07:16The conversation shows their different perspectives on their relationship, with Haruto wanting something

01:07:22deeper, while Keho prefers maintaining their friendship. Haruto explains he wanted to become

01:07:27someone special to Keho and wanted to have a different kind of relationship with her. Keho

01:07:32reflects that just by talking like this, she ends up hurting Haruto and guesses she shouldn't have come

01:07:37to this room after all. Haruto protests that's not true, asking if it's just that Keho can't go out with

01:07:44him and has come to hate him. Keho responds no, that's not it at all, explaining she still wants to

01:07:50be

01:07:50close friends with Haruto and come to this room to play games with him. She adds she wants to hang

01:07:55out and eat meals together, showing her desire to maintain their friendship despite rejecting his

01:08:01romantic feelings. Keho admits even though she can't be Haruto's girlfriend, she calls herself a

01:08:06bad girl. Haruto thinks Keho isn't bad at all. Keho continues saying that's why she's a bad girl.

01:08:12But that's not the only reason she acts this way, explaining she knows she's a bad person for that.

01:08:18Keho looks surprised while both appear startled by something. Haruto then says right now as they

01:08:23both seem to realize or notice something happening at that moment, creating a tense atmosphere between

01:08:29them. A voice came from the back room. Haruto froze. Keho stopped talking, turning her head toward the

01:08:35sound. Makoto eyes narrowed slightly, lips curling into a knowing smile. The air grew tense while she

01:08:42whining from them. Keho's head snapped toward the sound from the next room, eyes widening in

01:08:47realization. Haruto stiffened completely, panic flashing across his face. Behind the door, Makoto

01:08:53remained hidden, her sneeze nearly exposing her presence. The air grew thick with tension as

01:08:59Haruto desperately tried to hide the truth from Keho. Keho's eyes sparkled with realization,

01:09:05staring at the door. Haruto froze in panic, blocking her way. She suspected a human

01:09:10girl was hiding inside, not a pet. He desperately refused, face burning red. The secret teetered on

01:09:17the edge of exposure. Keho shrugged off the strange noise, convincing herself it was just imagination.

01:09:23She praised her own acting skills while Haruto played along, suggesting it might have been the

01:09:28wind. When questioned about keeping pets, he firmly denied raising anything. The conversation shifted to

01:09:34a mainsand's former room, with Keho recalling she used it before studying abroad. Haruto internally

01:09:40celebrated dodging the crisis, though he remembered a book still borrowed from a mainsand remained in

01:09:46that very room. Keho suddenly charged forward as Haruto shouted in panic. She cheerfully announced her

01:09:52intrusion while scanning the room. Haruto blurted out that Makoto wasn't present, his voice cracking with

01:09:58nervousness. Keho's eyes darted around, clearly suspecting someone was hiding. A mischievous smile

01:10:04formed as she silently praised the clever concealment. Keho's eyes narrowed with suspicion as she spotted

01:10:10something unusual. Haruto stammered nervously, quickly suggesting he might have left a game console

01:10:16in the room. Keho saw right through the weak excuse, pointing out the earlier sneeze had clearly come from

01:10:22a girl. She laughed at the ridiculous claim, noting no game console could possibly be that large.

01:10:28The failed cover-up only deepened her amusement. Haruto stammered out denials, insisting there was

01:10:34no girl present. Keho's eyes narrowed, immediately sensing he was hiding something important.

01:10:39She pressed him further, demanding to know why he couldn't tell her the truth. Her playful tone turned

01:10:45serious as she accused him of doing something bad, her suspicions growing stronger with each weak

01:10:50denial. A girl was there. The simple accusation shattered Haruto's denials, exposing the truth

01:10:57in three undeniable words. Keho gasped. The girl before her was none other than Makoto Rei,

01:11:03the school's idolized goddess. The revelation left both frozen in stunned silence. Keho confronted

01:11:09Makoto sharply, demanding answers what were her intentions with Haruto. Why was she in underwear?

01:11:14What was this skip school plan about? The questions came rapid fire, each more accusing than the

01:11:20last. Keho noted Makoto's beauty and figure, recalling Haruto's confession could have been for

01:11:26anyone. Haruto insisted he was just helping with her cold. Keho fired back why the underwear then?

01:11:32The misunderstanding deepened. Haruto called it an accident. Makoto flushed, asking if she looked that

01:11:38bad. Keho accused him of perverted eyes, then demanded why Makoto was even there before raising

01:11:44something more urgent. Keho's shocking accusation cut through the room. Did Haruto bring Makoto here for sex?

01:11:50Haruto recoiled, insisting it was all a misunderstanding, that he'd done nothing shady. Yet Keho kept

01:11:57pressing, noting how strangely he was acting, how unlike himself he seemed. The situation spiraled

01:12:03further from reality, with each desperate denial. Makoto's voice cut sharply through the tension,

01:12:08defending Haruto. She insisted nothing was wrong. It was all her own fault. Her words carried quiet

01:12:15conviction, shifting the atmosphere instantly. Makoto stepped forward, her voice firm as she claimed full

01:12:21responsibility. She asked to stay, chose to hide from Keho, faced winter unprepared, and accidentally

01:12:27soaked her clothes. Despite Haruto's plea for secrecy to avoid misunderstandings, she openly acknowledged

01:12:34his kindness since her arrival. Each admission stripped away the accusations, replacing them with raw

01:12:39honesty. Makoto's voice rang clear. Haruto never brought her for sex. She described his genuine

01:12:46kindness and her happiness here, dismissing the accusation completely. With a quick apology for

01:12:51interrupting, she vouched for his trustworthiness, certain he'd never act inappropriately. The words

01:12:57carried quiet conviction, dissolving tension with sincerity. Keho's eyes widened in disbelief. Living under the

01:13:04same roof with a female classmate, Haruto confirmed it simply. Makoto was now a resident of this house.

01:13:10The revelation hung starkly in the air. Keho's voice wavered, why keep this from her? A childhood

01:13:16friend-like family? The truth settled heavily. They'd agreed to live together. She recalled Haruto's weak

01:13:22game console cover-up, and Makoto's own wishes in this arrangement. A quiet realization struck things had

01:13:29progressed further than she ever imagined. Haruto's voice grew quiet, but firm things had already changed

01:13:34between him and Keho. He stumbled over explanations, insisting his secrecy wasn't from dislike, just

01:13:41uncertainty. The unspoken truth lingered. Keho simply didn't need to know. Makoto's quiet question hung in

01:13:47the air Haruto hadn't told Keho for a reason. Keho froze mid-step, confusion flashing across her face

01:13:54as she demanded clarification. The unspoken implication thickened the tension between them.

01:14:00Keho's mind reeled at the sudden development, her confusion mounting. The situation felt surreal

01:14:05those two were somehow terrifying together. A nervous laugh escaped as the bizarre reality settled in.
