Voice Love (Koe Koi)

Just take another day off.

I don't want that.

Too late to force it.

Focus on getting better.

But if I take another day off, I'll be alienated.

But, you already did... maybe.

Eh?

It's been a week since entrance ceremony, of course you did.

I want to go even more, now.

No, you can't.

Not until your cold have gone away.

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you.

I'm Yoshioka.

Yuiko? Who are you talking to?

It's nothing.

What is it?

There's a phone call from your classmate.

Hello?

It's me.

Hello?

Yoshioka-san?

Nice to meet you.

I'm the class representative, Matsubara.

I need to tell you about some school announcement, but...

Is it okay to talk right now?

Hello?

Um...

Is your cold getting better?

Ah, it is!

Ah, I mean... I'm all healed.

I see.

Glad to hear that.

After the first year orientation day after tomorrow,

boys and girls will be divided for a medical checkup.

Since you need to wear gym clothes for the checkup,

don't forget to bring yours.

Hearing his gentle voice from the receiver,

my heart keeps pounding and pounding.

What a beautiful voice...

I wonder what kind of person is he?

That Matsubara-kun.

Looks like the fever went up again.

Maybe I should stay at home, longer.

It felt really bad...

Sorry.

I'm a bit dizzy.

Are you alright?

This voice...

Is your cold getting better?

Um...

Are you...

...Matsubara-kun?

Eh?!

Yes, I'm Matsubara.

Isn't that...

...a paper bag?

Matsubara-kun has a beautiful voice, but,

it looks like he's also a bit unusual.

Koe Koi

Episode 1: who's behind that voice!?

Matsubara-kun the class 1-C's representative?

That's me.

I'm class 1-C's Yoshioka.

N-nice to meet you!

Thanks for calling me, yesterday.

Ah, Yoshioka-san.

Could it be that... your cold hasn't got better, yet?

Eh?!

Well... um...

What should I say?

I said that I'm completely healed, yesterday.

Um...

Matsubara-kun?

Please come with me.

Matsubara-kun.

He's not coming, today?

Macchan...

But, he's here awhile a... - Sensei.

Yes, Midorikawa-san?

Matsubara-kun went to take some print-outs in my place.

Should be the reason why he's late.

I see.

Yoshioka-san might took another day off, today.

Sensei. - Yes?

Ah, you are...

Nishizono Aki.

About Yoshioka-san,

she's been taking days off since opening ceremony,

so everyone might think 'who the hell is she' and thought that she's weird,

I want all of you to know that she desperately wants to go to school.

That's all.

Okay.

It's impossible, maybe I should call Aki.

Sensei is not here, so let me...

How do you feel?

Um...

...thank you.

Also...

...I'm sorry...

...for being such a nuisance.

About yesterday's phone call,

I'm really happy, that's why...

...I want to hurry and say how grateful I am.

I'm sorry.

Yoshioka-san.

Can you promise me one thing?

That from now on, you won't push yourself too hard.

Matsubara-kun...

In addition,

Eh?

I think, you need another day off, today.

You're right.

I'll do that.

I'm home.

Dad, you're early today.

Where's Yuiko?

She's sleeping.

Her fever went up.

She's back without even get to class.

See?

I told her it's too early.

Hey, hey, hey, Kyoshiro. - Hm?

You remember that boy who called Yuiko, yesterday?

Yeah.

That class representative?

He has a nice voice.

That person is,

the one who helped Yuiko when she almost fell, today.

So Yuiko is in her high school phase.

I know, right.

I said, that boy is the class representative so he was just... - ...doing his job.

Right, Dad?

But, we must at least say thank you to him.

I'm sure everyone know each other, already.

What should I do if there's a strange rumor about me?

Can I get along with them?

Matsubara-kun!

Yes?

Good morning.

Oh, Yoshioka-san.

How's your cold?

I'm good, now.

Glad to hear that.

Um...

Yoshioka-san?

May I...

...walk beside you?

Yes, of course.

Our kaich? will never leave aside this matter.

Am I right?

I think so.
