My mind is currently plagued with dirty thoughts.

I like you, Kashiwagi.

Sorry.

I can't.

Or so I exclaimed, but...

Shall we... try dating?

I’m taking back everything I said earlier.

We're both mature adults, and Kamijo's so dedicated, he came back from Germany for me.

I... can't hold back anymore.

- Which means... - Kashiwagi, let me pour you some coffee.

Coffee?

This late at night?

Let's eat that birthday cake you bought as well.

Caffeine at night can only mean he's totally in the mood to do it!

I won't let you sleep a wink tonight.

What the heck was with that dance?

Hold on. It's okay.

Just calm down.

Act like I always do.

Carry on as normal.

Just stay calm.

You're an adult. I'm a totally-composed-woman.

Wait! What does that even mean?

Just calm down, me!

When will it be?

When will he pounce?

When...?

- Here he comes! - You blow dry your hair quickly.

Otherwise, you'll catch a cold.

Yes, Sir.

Don't stay up too late.

Good night.

[Blinded Kiss]

[Episode 3]

Smile up front.

Don't be a downer to our patrons.

Sorry...

Is something the matter?

Well...

To tell you the truth,

my boyfriend won't have sex with me.

Like I could be that frank.

Ugh! Whatever!

I didn't get enough sleep. That's all.

- What!? - Huh?

D-Don't tell me... last night, you two...

So brazen!

N-No!

We didn't! Really!

Quiet.

We have customers. Back to your posts!

Thank you for the book.

No, thank you.

You're all set.

Thank you.

[The Fox that Teased Taro]

Look who's acting all expectant.

How hilarious.

Everything was a lie, you know?

Excuse me. May I borrow this book?

Of course.

[Werewolves Won't Fool Me]

Sure, I'll make you my girlfriend.

Your book is ready to go.

Thank you.

[Habits of Being a Woman : Tribune] [Become aware of useless men, and live more money conscious!]

He won't disappear...?

What are you talking about?

What brings you here?

I had a meeting nearby.

Here, I bought snacks for you all.

But why so out of the blue?

I wanted to take advantage of the nice weather, and eat lunch...

- with my girlfriend. - Girlfriend!?

He said girlfriend!

Finally!

Yes!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Perfect timing. It's her lunch break now.

- But I— - Go on.

- Thank you for the snacks. - No problem.

Ta-dah.

Can I really have some?

Of course.

Well then...

Thank you for the food.

It's delicious!

- Is it? - Yeah.

Glad to hear it.

Tea?

Yes, please.

You surprised me today.

Well, I wanted to see you.

We'll see each other later tonight.

You're blushing.

I am not.

Can I also have a rice ball?

Sure.

I can't see.

Yoshikawa, you're blocking the view.

I'll be heading back now.

- Are you tired? - Huh?

Your eyes are red.

I didn't get enough sleep.

Right then.

Tell your co-workers I said hi.

- Okay. - See you.

I'm back.

Want me to whip up some dinner?

It's fine.

I ate earlier, so it's fine.

Is that so?

I won't lie in wait anymore.

Kashiwagi, got a moment?

Give me a second.

What's this?

Some hot milk.

You mentioned having sleep issues this afternoon.

That I did...

It'll help you get a good night's rest.

Good night.

Can I go to your room, Kamijo?

There's something I'd like to tell you...

I mean,

We're dating, but you haven't done anything to me.

Did you want me to?

Yes!

Do you remember what I told you the other day?

I'll find ways for you to fall for me.

Kashiwagi, you haven't fallen for me so deeply yet, have you?

I wouldn't kiss someone I don't love—

Listen.

You and I are on different levels.

After all, I came chasing you all the way from Germany.

Aren't I down pretty bad?

So you're self aware.

That's why I wanted you to be more conscious of me.

I wanted to see you...

go crazy over me.

You sadist.

Sorry.

How can you say that with a smile?

["Naomi : A Fool's Love" by Junichiro Tanizaki]

You still have this?

Busted.

Busted?

This book alone was something I treasured over there.

It's a book I associate...

with precious memories.

This feels nice...

Kashiwagi,

I love you.

Good morning.

Breakfast is served.

Sorry. Last night, I...

- I'm glad you slept well. - Yeah.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

- Thanks for the food. - Bon appétit.

You should have shook me awake.

What would have we done after that?

What a salacious topic in the morning.

Is it okay to say them at night?

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry to make you do the dishes.

No worries.

My shift starts in the afternoon today.

Then I'll be off.

- Kashiwagi. - Yes?

Where's my good-bye kiss?

You're pushing your luck.

- Take care. - I will.

I'll have dinner ready for you.

But you made breakfast.

I don't mind.

Thanks.

Have a good day.

Will do.

I'm sorry I fell asleep yesterday.

I'll try to come home early today,

so...

Anyway, see you later.

Yeah.

She got me good.

What has you humming a little tune?

Was there a new development yesterday?

Nope. Not at all.

I see.

Take a look.

Thanks to everyone's help, my class reached max capacity.

I'm happy for you.

Since it was my own suggestion,

I was worried no one would sign up.

I see.

So? What happened yesterday?

- Hm? - Something must have happened.

I already told you, nothing has happened.

No, I can tell. [Read the Classics ~ Poems of Love in the Manyoshu]

Where can I find the rest of this series?

This series would be...

right over on shelf 10.

Thank you.

Perfect.

I'm sort of feeling antsy.

I wonder how Kamijo's doing?

Right.

Yes.

I'll be arriving there in about 30 minutes.

How is Kamijo feeling?

I want to see him soon.

- Kashiwagi. - Yes?

You can wash up first.

Oh...

You can go first.

It's fine, I'll prep dinner in the meantime.

But...

Would you prefer we get right down to it?

Not an option.

Do you want to bathe together?

Also not an option!

The bath's all yours.

Feel refreshed?

I do, thanks.

Dinner's ready to eat whenever.

Thank you.

Guess I'll go take a bath, too.

Kamijo...

Whenever you're done with your bath... come over to my room, okay?

Sure.

This is bliss.

But why this?

Well, you made both breakfast and dinner.

Though it's not much, take this as thanks.

What was that?

Nothing.

I feel content.

What was that?

Nothing.

Okay, it's done.

Thank you.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

What did we talk about yesterday?

- Yesterday? - Yeah.

I fell asleep halfway through...

Right.

We talked about how pure literature is surprisingly erotic,

and how many pieces of literature depict sex.

You also mentioned how you'd like us to mimic it one day.

I-I can't see myself saying that.

Stop teasing me.

But you know...

What now?

You're the one who fell asleep on me...

while I professed my love.

I don't remember any of that.

In that case...

let's have a do-over.

I love you.

I love you.

Kashiwagi, I love you.

No need to repeat yourself.

I know—

Kamijo...!

Do you want to stop?

N-No, but...

But?

You can keep going.

I'm just nervous.

So...

keep going.

I've always loved you.

Always.

I'll take that.

Solid move.

Are you free July 4th?

Is this about the library event?

Yes.

Go to the meeting in my stead.

I'll show up to the event.

Pushing all the tedious work onto your assistant, again.

Isn't this your job, Professor?

[Speech Request at a Library Event]

Nice move.

♫ Almost hearing the sounds of summer ♫

I admit my defeat.

[Akebono City Forest Library, Waka Kashiwagi]

Kashiwagi...?

♫ Wet shirt and sand in our shoes ♫

♫ Will we forget all of this someday ♫

♫ Tonight is just like the night ♫

♫ that describes in the song lyrics of your favorite band ♫

♫ Besides that, it's a night where nothing happens ♫

♫ Your crying profile ♫

[This is Waka's imagination] ♫ and our salty kisses ♫

♫ Will we forget all of this someday ♫

♫ Tonight is just like the night ♫

♫ that describes in the song lyrics of your favorite band ♫

♫ Besides that, it's a night where nothing happens ♫

[Preview] Waka... wake up.

Are you free this evening?

Do you call Gaku by his first name?

I didn't like it precisely because it's you, Waka.

No need to take it so personally.

Just imaging you smiling at him, drives me mad.
