Not finished yet with chapter three and I thought I might as well go ahead and post chapter four.

Note: Internal dialouge is in brackets.

PAGE ONE
Mimasaka: You've looked around but there's no one here...you're certain you can hear rough sounds in this neighborhood.  But, you think it's weird.  You go under the lights and stop your bike.

Ashitaba: Ye...yeah.  [I watched Mimasaka-kun do this yesterday with the "rapid fire conversation".  I already know the ending to this story but I'm not going to say it...]

Mimasaka: And so...hey, are you even listening?

Ashitaba: Huh?  Yeah.  The hair from a chopped-off head gets caught up in the bike's wheel?

Mimasaka: Wha...you bastard, you know what I was talking about!

Ashitaba: Ah...that's...um...

PAGE TWO
Mimasaka: Hurry up and tell me, if you know!  Don't act like you're mute!

Ashitaba: I...I'm sorry!  I'm sorry!

[after school]
Ashitaba:  Man, school's over...

PAGE THREE
Mimasaka: Hey, Ashitaba!

Ashitaba: Mimasaka...kun.

Mimasaka: How do I look? It really suits me, huh?

Ashitaba: Uh...I thought you were in the basketball club...

Mimasaka: Oh, yeah.  I didn't like it so I quit.  So I'm definitely into baseball from now on.

Team mate: Bastard, don't go wearing the uniform around for your own convinence!

Mimasaka:  Jeez, it doesn't matter.

?: Please! Wait!

PAGE FOUR
?: Kaburagi-san! If you were in a match, it would be a dream!

?: Kaburagi-san, join the tennis club!

?: The swimming club!

?: The track club!

Kaburagi: How many times do I have to tell you?  I'm in the handicrafts club!

?: No way, you'll tear everything up.  What are you talking about?

?: That's right, it doesn't fit you.

?: No, join the kendou club.

Kaburagi: Noooo!

Mimasaka: Ohh, there's Shinya.

Ashitaba: Yesterday's PE was amazing...

Kaburagi [in flashback]: A homerun...ahhh...

Hades-sensei: Compresses and gauze...bandages.  Does anyone need disinfectant?  I've got cots you can use...

PAGE FIVE
Hades-sensei: Get your sports injuries healed quickly...maintain a healthy body...

Ashitaba: Se..sensei...

Hades-sensei: Oh, Ashitaba-kun and Mimasaka-kun.  You're not hurt, are you?

Mimasaka: Is it okay for you not to be in the infirmary...?

Hades-sensei:  It's okay, Fuji-kun is watching it for me.

Ashitaba: That's...not okay...

Hades-sensei: Traveling infirmary...does anyone need the infirmary?

Ashitaba:  That's...not good.

Mimasaka: Well, I should be getting back.  If I don't become a regular member, I can't keep my position.  Come by every once in a while!

Ashitaba: Ah, yeah...good luck.  [A club, huh...everyone (except for Mimasaka-kun) is really serious about them.]

PAGE SIX
Motoyoshi: Ashitaba-kun.

Ashitaba: Ah...um, Motoyoshi-kun.

Motoyoshi: Going home now?

Ashitaba: Ah, yeah I am...

Motoyoshi: I see.   I thought I was going to home with Micchan.  Looks like he's getting all fired up.  If it's okay, we could go home together.

Ashitaba: Huh? Sure, that's fine...

PAGE SEVEN
Ashitaba: [What kinda stuff should we talk about...Motoyoshi-kun hasn't been talking much.  Isn't he one of Mimasaka-kun's friends...]  Ah, um...

Motoyoshi:  Let's stop with all the tension.  We certainly don't know each other well.

Ashitaba: Ah, well...that's...[don't say it so bluntly...]

Motoyoshi: Ashitaba-kun, lately you've been hanging out with Micchan...

PAGE EIGHT
Ashitaba: Y...yeah?  Well, Mimasaka-kun likes to talk a lot...I end up being the one who's listening...

Motoyoshi: Fufufu...are you bragging?

Ashitaba: Eh...?

Motoyoshi: Micchan's always had lots of friends.  That's fine but...he hasn't really be hanging out with me...thanks to you.

Ashitaba: Re...really?  [What is this?  What should I do...I know! I'll change the subject first]...right, um. It was a bad idea, Fuji not coming, huh...

PAGE NINE
Motoyoshi: We're not talking about Fuji right now, are we?

Ashitaba: [Sc...scary!]

Motoyoshi: Well, Micchan and I...we've been friends since kindergarten...well, this is my place.  See you at school tomorrow.

Ashitaba: Huh? Ye...yeah, see you later.

Motoyoshi: Hey, Ashitaba-kun, if you want...

PAGE TEN
Motoyoshi: We could walk home tomorrow too.

[At school]
Fuji: See you later, Ashitaba.

Ashitaba: Ahh, see you tomorrow!  Now...

Motoyoshi: Hey, Ashitaba-kun.

PAGE ELEVEN
Motoyoshi: I've been waiting.  Let's walk home today.

Text: One week later.

Ashitaba: I...I can't do it again today...the infirmary...

PAGE TWELVE
Hades-sensei: Wha...A...Ashitaba-kun!

Fuji [narrowly dodging Ashitaba being thrown]: Uwaaah!  You bastard, what are you doing?  The bed next to me is empty!

Hades-sensei:  Oh, so...sorry.  I was just so surprised.

Fuji: Who is that?  Ashitaba?

PAGE THIRTEEN
Ashitaba: Uhh...

Hades-sensei: Ahh...are you all right?

Fuji: What have you been doing?

Hades-sensei: You're suffering from extreme lack of sleep...did something happen?

Ashitaba: Mo...Motoyoshi-kun...

Fuji: Motoyoshi? Mimasaka's childhood friend?

Ashitaba: Lately...I've been walking home with him every day.  But...

PAGE FOURTEEN
Ashitaba:  Everyday, I have to endure him talking about Mimasaka-kun...

Motoyoshi [in flashback]: I was born with a weak body.  Because of that, I was teased sometimes.  But, ever since I became friends with Micchan, no one has teased me.  Since he's always been big, he's really good in fights.  Micchan...has protected me.  He really is my hero.  Are you listening?

Fuji: Enough...I don't want to die.

Ashitaba: Right? That's not even the prolouge...

Hades-sensei: All he talks about is Mimasaka-kun...?

Ashitaba:  Y...yeah.  It's weird.  Even though I'm just listening...

PAGE FIFTEEN
Ashitaba: I feel all this pressure.  Why is Motoyoshi-kun...doing this to me...

Hades-sensei:  Hmm...

Fuji: Hey, Mimasaka!  Tell Motoyoshi to stop messing with Ashitaba. If you tell him, he'll listen.

Mimasaka: Who? What are you talking about?

Fuji: Motoyoshi, your childhood friend...

PAGE SIXTEEN
Mimasaka: Motoyoshi.  Hey, ever since we were kids, he's been a really good guy.

Fuji: Well, in reality, that "good guy" has completely worn Ashitaba out.

Mimasaka: That ain't right...

Fuji: You...

Mimasaka: Listen! He's my close friend.  He's a good person, always has been.  He's just VERY shy! Even though I've never been in his position, he's not someone who can just talk to anyone.  Motoyshi, going after somebody? He's hit his head or ate something bad or been possessed...by demons...

PAGE SEVENTEEN
?: Ashitaba-kun.

Ashitaba: Fuwaah?

?: How are you feeling?

Ashitaba: Ah, sensei.  I got a little sleep.  I'm feeling a lot better.

?: Really...that's good.  Now then...

Ashitaba: Hmm...?

PAGE EIGHTEEN
Secretely Motoyoshi!: Please listen to me again.

Ashitaba: Gyaaaaaaaaaah!
