Voice Love (Koe Koi)

Hello?

First spring in high school,

I, Yoshioka Yuiko,

It's me.

Hello?

met a guy who has a very beautiful voice.

Yoshioka-san?

Nice to meet you.

I'm the class representative, Matsubara.

However,

that guy, Matsubara-kun, is wearing a paper bag

and I have no idea what he looks like.

I'm ready to fight fair and square.

I am in love with you.

Shu.

Kaori?

That day,

a girl who knows Matsubara-kun in elementary school, appeared.

A girl who knows a lot more about someone you like.

If someone like that appeared, you'll feel threatened. Normally.

Shu's smile is very gentle.

I'm sorry.

I have to go home, soon.

I wonder what...

do I have to do, now?

Episode 10: Our Distance

Lately, there's something weird on Yoshioka Yuiko's movement.

The day before yesterday, at 08.09 AM,

Yukko?

Aki-chan...

she was falling at the school stairs.

Yesterday, at 03.23 PM,

Good afternoon. - Yukko?

Huh? - Your zipper is open.

Aki-chan!

She forgot her zipper.

Today, at 01.10 PM,

She dropped her half-eaten melon bread.

Melon bread!!

Isn't that how Yoshioka-san always be?

That's not all of it.

The most significant thing is,

she definitely lose her smile.

I'm sure the reason is,

this girl.

Ah, that girl from bunkasai.

According to my information network, she is Matsubara's childhood friend.

If Yoshioka Yuiko, by her appearances,

got some kind of damage, it means,

there's a golden opportunity for Kaichou to get in.

I don't want Kaichou,

to have those kind of expression again.

Like this,

or this, or maybe this one.

Looking at how cute Kaichou's smile is,

I don't think there's a girl who wouldn't like him.

Aoyama,

you really like Makoto, aren't you?

(his choice of words can also interpreted as "you are seriously falling in love with him")

Anyway,

we just want to see Kaichou smiling again.

For us, that will be,

the happiest moment.

That time,

his smile saved me.

Shu's smile is,

really gentle.

In front of Kaori-san,

Matsubara-kun was able to smile.

I think that's a good thing.

But somehow, my chest hurts,

only when I think of Matsubara-kun.

Yoshioka-san.

Wh-what is it?

Um,

it's about the other day.

After you spent some time to visited me, sorry I wasn't around.

You even made a dinner.

It's nothing.

I'm glad you are feeling better.

I am.

Um...

I forgot to bring my mathematics textbook!

I have to borrow it.

I'll go borrow it. B-borrow it, s-somewhere.

Hey,

what happened?

I can never forget that moment.

I really loved you, Shu,

but you were...

It's just,

me, being pathetic.

This is bad.

If it keep going like this until winter break, it'll be even more bad.

You're right.

Can't we do anything.

- You see... - Don't say anything unnecessary.

Eh?

About the other day.

I always looking at him.

Why...

he can smile like that?

It already happened, so,

I want to make Yukko happy for my own sake, too.

Okay?

Eh?

Christmas party?

Right.

Let's do it with everyone after the closing year ceremony.

That's unusual for Aki-chan to be interested in such a thing.

Well, it's a nice thing to make memories once in awhile.

You don't like it?

Of course not.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks for waiting! The cake is here! - The cake is here!

Something to drink? - Oh, you're right.

Here. - Here.

Thanks.

Here.

Ah! I'm sorry!

Here you go.

It's okay.

Cheers!

Cheers!!

One more time!

Cheers. - Cheers.

Ryoichi,

why am I the only one wearing this and are forbidden to take patrol?

Well, isn't it nice? It's Christmas, anyway.

Ch-Christmas... - Giving a smile to those who are sad.
