Watari-kun's ****** Is About to Collapse (渡くんの××が崩壊寸前)

I... I might break up with Ishihara-san.

But I don't actually want to break up with her.

You seem to be having an emotionally unstable day.

Guess that's every day.

Too much happened today. I'm just done.

Should I not ask?

Please don't.

And now you're walking in the opposite direction to your house. Not going home?

I need to buy Suzu some ice cream.

I'm ridiculously late, so she's probably furious with me by now.

I'm glad I was able to find you quickly.

I've been looking for you.

Ishihara-san's mother...

Watari-kun's ****** Is about to Collapse

Uh...

I'm surprised you found me.

I asked a friend of Yukari's where you tend to stop on your way home.

I see.

But never mind that.

Is she your friend?

Stare

No. We just grew up together a long time ago.

Look at Mr. Popular.

To be honest, I would have preferred to talk with you alone.

He looked absolutely terrified,

so I couldn't bring myself to leave him alone with you.

That's a bit harsh.

It's not like I was going to eat him alive.

He's one of my daughter's precious friends, after all.

I guess I'll just drive you home, as well.

Oh, but before that,

should we stop by a supermarket so you can get that ice cream?

Huh? Oh... right!

Nao-kun, you mind if I take a nap?

Uh, sure.

This is so awkward.

And what does she even want to "talk" about?

Um, as for that talk...

You're angry about what happened today, right?

Well... The whole thing was my fault, so...

Don't bother lying.

It was all Yukari-chan's idea, wasn't it?

You were trying to cover for her back then, too, weren't you?

I just wanted to tell you not to worry, because I know everything that's going on.

You're a kind person,

so I figured it would keep eating away at you if I didn't say something.

That's why I wanted to put you at ease as soon as possible.

Um... Does that mean I can keep seeing Ishihara-san?

Yes. Of course.

I hope you'll continue to be a good friend to her.

You can keep the contraceptives in your bag, as well.

I'll just tell her that I threw them away.

So you're basically telling me to break up with her?

Wouldn't that be the best option?

For everybody?

As a mother, I have to make sure nothing happens to my daughter before she grows up.

I completely understand.

So I'll make sure nothing like today ever happens again.

Don't get me wrong.

Having a sex drive is perfectly natural.

There's nothing bad or shameful about it.

Denying its very existence and forcibly bottling it up could lead to emotional damage.

That's exactly why I can't be irresponsible

and ask you children to "just keep it under control."

I'm sure you can understand.

I'd like you to break up with Yukari-chan for now.

One day, when you've both grown up,

if you still have feelings for each other, you can try again.

I slept like a baby.

I can't believe you were able to sleep so soundly in a stranger's car.

You should've had her give you a ride back to your place, too.

It's fine. It's close enough to here.

Sorry for getting you mixed up in all this stuff today.

I won't pry any further, then.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

You are so, so late!

What have you been doing all this time?

Renon-chan went home ages ago!

And I trimmed the leaves all by myself, too!

Sorry.

Here.

Ice cream! And a whole box, too!

Don't think you can fool me with this!

I hate you!

You're still the most important person to me, of course. That hasn't changed.

I understand what the adults are saying, and it makes sense,

but what am I supposed to do with these feelings?

Huh? Wh-What happened?

There, there

Oh. You just love me that much.

I love you, too. Sorry I said I hated you.

Anyway, let's go take our baths and get an early night.

Thanks for coming over to my house today.

You're coming to the exam prep tomorrow, right?

Watari Naoto

Let's skip cram school tomorrow and go on a date instead.

Let's skip cram school tomorrow and go on a date instead.

I don't believe it.

He asked me out on a date.

No way... Really?!

What do I do?!

I was expecting him to be quicker on the uptake.

He's really done it now.

One day, when you've both grown up, if you still have feelings for each other...

Forget "one day." I love her right now!

Suzu, what is this?

My summer homework.

I forgot it even existed until today.

And then I was like, "Holy crap!"

This is the kind of thing you really can't leave until the last minute.

It's totally fine!

After all, I'm a woman of my word.

If I put something in writing, I'm bound to make it happen!

Noon -> See Ishihara-san every day.

Make sure everything goes well.

I'd like you to break up with Yukari-chan for now.

I'll never break up with her!

What are you writing?

Ishihara-san!

Sorry. Were you waiting long?

Not at all.

Sorry this is our fourth day in a row meeting at the local fast food joint.

It's no problem at all.

I like the shakes here.

She's so sweet it hurts.

Smile Smile

Did something good happen to you?

Why do you say that?

I guess it's the expression on your face.

Well, you've been asking me out every single day.

It makes me really happy.

O-Oh. Glad to hear it.

Ishihara-san's so wonderful. Not to mention cute.

I really do love her.

I've got an hour before I have to go to work.

In a place like this, even if we meet every day,

there's no risk of things going in a dangerous direction.

Yeah, this is okay. This is good.

Honestly, though, at-home dates are the best, right?

Huh? Oh, I wasn't thinking about that at all.

It's more relaxing, and it doesn't cost a thing.

But right now, I'm in a cold war with my mom.

I guess she's angry about me?

Yeah. But don't worry about it.

Tokui-kun said it, too.

That as long as things are going well between us, we shouldn't worry.

Oh, crap. I left him on read.

We're old enough that our parents can't dictate what we do.

As long as both people are genuinely in love with each other, then love is love, right?

Yeah, you're right!

Genuinely in love...

Would you like some of mine?

Uh, well... Sure!

Then let's switch.

An indirect kiss...

It's the same flavor.

Awkward

Awkward

Yeah, this is fine.

Things are going well between us.

Hey, part-timer!

You left these beer bottles in the way!

I'll get that right away!

Wait, it's just you, Umezawa?

Are you all right, Senpai?

Why do you ask?

Usually, you're pretty gloomy, but lately, you've been weirdly cheerful.

So I was worried you might be sick or something.

What's that supposed to mean?

More importantly, I was thinking I'd like to go somewhere on my next day off.

Glance Glance

What are you talking about? Don't you have track?

And shouldn't you be asking that guy you said you liked?

Well, about that...

I know firsthand that it's hard juggling so many things at once,

but good luck with love, sports, and work!
