Or will you run away with your tail between your legs? br Haha, in that case, shall we see what you’ve got?” br br A moment on a lazy afternoon br Waking at just the right time br With a blend that seems slightly cool br This endless war br Of challenging questions, br I’ve already solved them! br br “Say what?” br br The knife you’ve thrown down br I see, it’s very sharp br However, I don’t feel like losing! br br “That’s what I thought you’d say.” br br I didn’t miss br Your bewildered expression br See, I understand! br br “Wh…what do you mean?” br br Unsatisfying division and halfhearted feelings, br Though they look similar, they’re completely different br br My best friend? You didn’t actually think br You could defeat me this time, did you? br br My best friend? You are br Scowling more than usual! Such seriousness is pointless br This early in the afternoon br br “This one’s difficult. But it’s worth discussing, so long as it’s logical. br It’s tedious having to deal with a situation of rapid succession sentimental arguments. br As with my puzzle, you’ll have to consider your answers carefully. br So this one won’t be easy at all.” br br You shouldn’t expect br An answer so soon! br As long as there are still mysteries br In this slightly boring world, br This relationship with still continue after this br br Efficiency isn’t everything; there’s no sense in defeating the argument br I don’t understand why you’re so worried about it… br br “Wh…what are you saying?” br br My best friend? Just for today, br I’m taking the opposite stance, so I'll give you a hint! br br My best friend? You’ve become br More silent than usual! br Did you finally figure it out? br br “Why are you smiling? Even though we’re supposed to be having a serious discussion. br For the most part, you just want to ridicule a guy like me with so little experience, don’t you? br However, don’t think things will stay that way forever. br Just as every cell in the body is being replaced little by little daily, br People are also evolving every day. br Hey! Are you listening, Ikkyu!?” br br The puzzle you’ve created and your tangled emotions, br Even though the ways to solve them are different, the answer’s still the same br br All or nothing! At any time, br Tell her, "I’m wishing for your happiness!" br br “I see.” br br My best friend? You seem br More surprised than usual! Such seriousness is pointless br This early in the afternoon br br “Even though I should say thanks, I’ve given you more problems than usual. br Since I made it too difficult, there may be some you can’t solve. br However, there’s no need to feel down about it, Ikkyuu! br I won’t run away or hide, and you shouldn’t give up either! br So we’ll have to clash at full strength! br br Well then, until next time, Ikkyu.
