I Don't Know Which is Love ch43
p1
Wanna try a sweet and sour love?
p2
Mei-chan<3
Go out with me<3<3
Being confessed to by Minato-senpai
made my heart waver...
That's made me aware that waiting four years for Maria-sensei
is something I can't do!!
In which case, I have no choice but to date Maria-sensei!!
Right now!!
I'll wait for her to finish her summer lectures and ambush her!!
p3
She told me not to make contact with her outside of lectures,
but if I push hard enough, I'm sure even she will...
Alright. If that's how it is,
then let's date in secret<3
No... Maybe more like...
It sure is hot... How about we go... to a hotel later?
Probably not...
Hah!!
There she is!
See-through Maria-sensei!!
p4
Sensei!!
Wait up!!
Hah...
Mei... san...
Um!
Um...
What's wrong?
First years shouldn't have any lectures during summer break.
Um...
You look very...
pretty today!
Hah
p5
Ahem!
You promised you wouldn't make any subjective contact, Soraike-san.
Somebody might be watching...
I know that! But still!!
I just really
wanted to see you...
Maria...
p6
Minato-senpai said she wanted to go out with me...
!!!
But I don't wanna give up on you, Sensei!
In other words,
I wanna date you right away!!
Even if we don't meet up often... or talk much... if us going out was something definitive...
then I...
So you're worried that our relationship doesn't have a name to it, huh...
But is there any meaning in an empty love
that exists in shape alone?
p7
My will is rock solid, Mei-san.
We can only date after four years have passed... That promise will not change.
I believe that is the best policy for us...
I need
to get going.
Wait!
p8
I love you!!
I love you so much!!
Yes...
Me too.
p9
...
...
She...
She rejected meeee!
I mean, she didn't actually reject me, but she may as well have... My heart... aches so much...
Somebody... Anybody...
Mei-chan<3
p10
What's up?
Karin-senpai!!
I came here to help out a friend's theater troupe
and spotted you and Sensei having a little fight~
!!
Fufu~
...
Did something happen between you and Todomeki-sensei during the beach trip?
!!
Like sex, maybe?
AAAAAAAAAH
p11
How did you-!?
You two were the last to go home, right?
I thought it was suspicious~
Sensei beat me to the punch~
But you're not dating, huh...
Was it a one night stand?
No, it wasn't!!
She said we could resume dating if we were both single after four years...
But waiting four years is painful...
yet she won't date me right now, so...
There's
no need to wait!
...
p12
There's no telling what'll happen in life after four years!
Humans can't live in the past or the future.
They 100% have to live in the now!
Come with me!
...
Okay!
p13
Here, you'll find lots of books
about how the now is the most precious thing!
So you read library books, Karin-senpai...?
Theater is a temporal art all about the moment!
Cultivating it adds depth to your acting.
Kaoru-senpai would probably like this book...
Looks complicated...
Of course, that's just my official stance.
This is a hole-in-the-wall where people rarely come by...
p14
...
Hey, Mei-chan. What you did with Todomeki-sensei...
Do it with me too<3
You did it... with Sensei,
so it's fine, right?
p15
Mm...
Hah...
Mm<3
Fu<3
Did Sensei...
touch you here?
Ah!
That's no good. If you moan too loudly,
somebody might come here...
p16
How about down here...?
Hah Hah
Ah!
p17
How did Sensei... do it here?
Hah Hah
Hey, what do you want me to do?
Hahn
Haah<3 So cute... To be honest, I wanna eat you up right now...
But
you probably don't wanna do it here, right...?
Hah...
Ah<3
Uuh...
Ah
We didn't do it...
Hm?
p18
All Sensei and I did... was hugging and kissing.
Hah Hah
That's all...
...
Hah hah
...Eh?
JUST HUGGING AND KISSING~~~!?
Oh crap! Let's head outside for now!!
H'okay...
p19
What's the meaning of this, Mei-chan!?
Sensei didn't lay a hand on me...
I just hugged and kissed her one-sidedly.
Or rather, that was the only thing I COULD do...
So nothing actually happened between you and Sensei in the end...
No, but!
We took a bath together and slept while hugging each other too!
It's not like we didn't do anything!!
You've done that with me too, haven't you?
Ah... That's true...
p20
But I'm glad that you considered being okay
with me as your first, Mei-chan.
I know! When I pass the qualification exam,
I'll teach you how to enjoy eating up girls!
Look forward to it!
!!
Um... What about that stuff about the now being more important than the future...?
What happened to that?
Aha<3
Did you wanna pick up where we left off right away?
Sorry. Not today.
p21
But being teased in the present while having a future to look forward to
is fun, right?
...You have a point...
Right? That's what living in the now's all about!
A future to look forward to, huh...
I've always thought of the future as obligations.
Exams, qualifications, and even confessions...
My future with Sensei is so distant that I can't look forward to it right now, but...
p22
A future to look forward to...
A few week later.
A future to look forward to.
A future to...
Mei-chan.
p23
Over here!
A future to
look forward to!!
Seeing you after so long
makes me happy...
Me too!
I'm so happy to see you, Riri-chan.
p24
My house is over there,
so would you
come along with me?
Of course!
A sleepover at Riri-chan's house!!
I'm gonna enjoy it to the fullest!!
The now over the present... What fate awaits Mei, who is living in the moment!?
