If I'd kissed her (あのときキスしておけば)

I'm not interested in romance.

I'm happiest when I'm at home reading manga.

That's enough!

You're reading "SEIKA"?

Kanigama Joe is me.

How about working part-time? Here's a duplicate key.

If you work for me, I'll let you read "SEIKA no Sora".

Kanigama-sensei is a genius.

I'm hiring you, so don't wear something shabby.

Always be beautiful.

I... I didn't mean to...

Overrun at Naha Airport. It's Kanigama-sensei's plane!

I would like to read out the names of those confirmed dead. Tomoe Yuizuki...

Momochi ...

It's me, Tomoe.

Kanigama Joe.

What should I do?

I found myself looking like this.

I'm not dead.

Hey, what should I do?

What are you doing?

Where have you been?

Where is Tomoe Yuizuki's room?

I'll re-inject IV, please go back to bed.

Where's my phone?

You were brought in just like this.

Without belongings.

Oh, that was in your pocket, and I could see it in the photo.

It really helped me a lot.

Momochi, your brain seems to be fine after examination.

The injuries seem not serious,

we'll keep you for one more night. If you're okay, we can discharge you.

Um... I'd like to know the condition of Tomoe Yuizuki, who was on the same plane.

I have to keep confidentiality...

She's alive, isn't she?

An old man I don't know came by earlier and said Tomoe Yuizuki wasn't dead.

Momochi

Let's go home...

I want this.

I think I'll buy one. Wow, 4,000,000...?

What are you fidgeting about?

No.

Momochi ...

Don't leave me.

Believe me.

I'm Tomoe Yuizuki. Kanigama Joe!

I may look like this, but... But it's true!

But... now... Now... Kanigama-sensei...

How many times I have to tell you?

I'm already in trouble for looking like this!

In the next issue of "SEIKA no Sora",

Cabejiro's chest is pierced by Nasutte.

You've read it.

That scene is only known to me, assistant, supervisor and you!

No ... No no no!

So... believe me.

Believe me!

Please!

Don't leave me.

You have to take me back to Tokyo with you...

In a place like this... Please calm down!

Don't worry! You'll remember soon enough.

This person was a little crazy from the accident.

Let's go!

How long are you going to follow me?

Momochi's house for the first time.

I'm thrilled.

If you're really Kanigama-sensei, shouldn't you go home?

I don't have the key.

In the ocean with the bag.

You also don't have the key to your house?

Eh !?

I'll stay with you today.

No no no no ...! No no no no!

Stop it!

Thank you.

Itadakimasu!

Bad tea.

Who are you?

I'm Tomoe Yuizuki! How many times I have to tell you...

The doctor said I had amnesia, but I have memories.

I even have memories from childhood.

Are you listening? What are you looking at?

Ah, my house key.

What? Ah, no...!

Then, if I go with Momochi ...

I can go home.

We were in the same hotel room in Okinawa.

Weren't you ready to stay together?

We might have even kissed.

We might have done more!

You believed it?

You believed that, didn't you?

No, no... that's still...

You said it many times, but I saw it.

A body with the same watch as Kanigama-sensei's was put in a car...

After that ... Oh, no ...!

It's not you who doesn't know what to do, it's me...

What should I do? I don't know...

I remember, despite this body.

At the cash register of Yumehana Supermarket,

I helped when you were getting tangled up with a weird customer.

I gave Moyao's goods.

I signed the 6th volume of SEIKA for you.

You are good at stir-fry, but not so good at gratin.

I bought you a lot of fashionable clothes and shoes.

I said "lame" when you had shoe blisters wearing good shoes.

And that, you had earned about a million-yen working part-time past month.

And yet... you refused my kiss.

Um, I... didn't mean to...

But you came with me to Okinawa.

If you had said you didn't want to go,

we wouldn't have had to take that plane!

Why did you say you're going to Okinawa?

Everything is your fault!

Momochi's an idiot! Idiot, idiot...!

What should I do now...?

<"But if that's the case,

maybe I should've kissed her before she turned into this...">

Mr. Tamura.

Yeah?

Please take a look at the last manuscript.

"Purple cabbage zeroshiki!" "Ama-kakeru-nasuno-inanaki!"

"Uh !!"

"Cabejiro !!"

This is the end?

What Kanigama-sensei was planning to do next?

I haven't heard.

But if we end it here, it'll be riot.

What we're going to do now that we've lost our highlight?

It's not good.

Chief.

Can we make Kanigama-sensei's death public?

It would be a disservice to Kanigama Joe's reputation to end the series without original plan.

Let's serialize 3 more drafts as is and announce just before the last one comes out.

We'll have a big farewell party for the whole company.

Then, why not announce it now?

It will be a hot topic ...

3 more times? "Maximum" will be sold out.

I'd like to wait until we hear how the family feels about the timing of announcement.

I knew home was the best!

It's so relaxing...

<"I've unlocked this house,

but if this person is a thief...">

<"I've been taken care by Kanigama-sensei,

but I'm returning the favor this way...">

What are you doing?

Are you okay !?

I'm going home.

Are you leaving me?

You were taken care by Kanigama-sensei, weren't you?

Are you not going to return the favor?

That's how you live, putting off difficult things until later.

That's the worst thing about you!

Face it!

You are staying here tonight!

Eh ... huh? No….

Stay!!

Like this?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Oh no! Not cute!

I packed my things...

I've had a lot of fun this year.

Great!

Thank you.

Cheese toast is delicious when you made it.

Takamizawa.

My old person-in-charge.

Momochi, you answer it.

I'll hide in the bedroom.

What should I do….

eh? Wait...

You are a part-timer I hired,

so just answer that you have a key and here to clean.

No, clean at this hour?

Hurry!

No, wait a minute ...

Yes.

I'm Takamizawa from 'Weekly Shonen Maximum'.

Are you Tomoe's mother?

I'm a part-timer.

Doesn't it smell like bread?

Is it my imagination?

I think it's your imagination.

Kanigama-sensei didn't want to let anyone into her house,

but you were even given a key.

So, you also know Kanigama-sensei is Tomoe Yuizuki?

Did you know that she passed away?

But you still came to clean.

Do you work house cleaning during the day?

No, I work at Yumehana Supermarket during the daytime.

Is that so?

I think her mother will decide

what to do with this house in the future.

Until then, please come by from time to time and clean up the room.

If she trusted you, I'll trust you, too.

The cleaning fee will be paid by Togen Publishing from now on...

so please bill me from now on.

Did Kanigama-sensei really pass away?
