014: “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to get you to start arresting.”
014: “I will do it sooner or later… You go back first, 008”
008: “They will be coming soon… Mark my words, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” and he disappears.
023: “You don’t trust him?”
014: “I have never trusted anyone.”
023: “Even me?”
014: “Sometimes.”
023 sighs.
Mayumi reached home, drops her bags and pounces on her bed, burying her head in the pillow.
023 and 014 also reaches home…
023: “Ah, she’s back… but asleep, in her working clothes…”
014: “She’s probably tired from work. Let her be. Go shower and go to bed… I’m tired too…”
023: “Okay…”
The next morning…
014 wakes up.
Mayumi: “Good morning~” and she serves breakfast on the table.
014: “Where’s your breakfast?”
Mayumi: “I ate already, I need to go for school slightly earlier today.”
014: “Oh ok… Have a good day then.” and Mayumi hurriedly left…
Mayumi has been avoiding Natsuki at school the whole day. Kyouya and Honoka approached Natsuki and they reconciled. Natsuki also congratulated them.
Honoka: “Sensei has been avoiding you didn’t you?”
Natsuki: “Yeah…”
Kyouya: “There is a generation gap between you two… It’s impossible for you two to get together.”
Natsuki: “But I’m willing to try.”
Kyouya: “Up to you then.”
The day is finally over.
Kyouya: “Hey, wanna join us for dinner?”
Natsuki: “It’s fine… You two have fun, I’m just going to be a third wheel.” and he leaves.
Honoka: “He looks like he is in agony…”
Kyouya: “Yeah… his kiss from last night was pretty passionate… He’s serious about it. Never mind him, let’s go eat. What do you want to eat?”
Honoka: “Fast food?”
Kyouya: “Sure.”
And they leave school.
014: “Mayumi said she’s not coming back for dinner again.”
023: “Hmm, I wonder what she is up to this time…”
014: “So what now?”
023: “Let’s go out and eat again!”
014: “Sigh…”
023: “I’m paying this time, don’t worry.”
014: “Not that, but I’m just lazy…”
023: “Let’s go already… I’m hungry…”
014: “Fine…” and they leave for dinner.
Honoka: “It’s been awhile since I ate fast food…”
Kyouya: “Oh really? Scared that you will gain weight?”
Honoka: “Shhh…”
Kyouya snickers.
Honoka: “What do you think about Natsuki and Sensei…”
Kyouya: “I don’t know… The generation gap is there, people will judge…”
Honoka: “Do you approve of the relationship?”
Kyouya: “I’m neutral, if they do date, I wish them the best… What about you?”
Honoka: “I’m fine about it. They do look kind of sweet.”
Honoka: “Want to hit up the arcade later? I saw a plushie that I want to get…”
Kyouya: “Oh? Sure.”
Honoka: “Yay~”
014 brought 023 to a random ramen bar.
023: “I can afford something better than this, you know…”
014: “Don’t judge the quality of the food here with its price…”
023: “Okay then…”
023 tries the ramen.
014: “How is it?”
023: “Oh my god, it’s actually great…”
014: “Told you.”
023: “Wow, didn’t know you know such great food.”
014: “I didn’t stay here for so long for nothing, you know.”
023: “I want to get a plushie here before I get back…”
014: “Let’s hit the arcade later then.”
023: “Ahhh, I wonder what type of plushies they have…”
014: “A huge variety…”
023: “Oooo.”
014: “Just shut up and finish your food.”
023: “All right, all right…”
Honoka and Kyouya arrived at the arcade first.
Honoka: “I think I changed my mind, I want that one now…”
Kyouya: “You sure at indecisive…”
Honoka: “It doesn’t matter, we haven’t started playing it yet…”
Kyouya sigh…
The other couple then arrived at the same arcade.
023: “Wow, I’m spoiled for choice…”
014: “Oh great, you can’t decide, how long is this going to be…”
Honoka finally decided on what she wanted and Kyouya got the plushie on his first try.
Honoka: “Wow, that was easy.”
Kyouya: “I do hit up the arcade often.”
Honoka: “Ooo, I see.”
Meanwhile, on the other couple’s side, things look rather grim.
023: “It’s your 15th try already!”
014: “It’s been awhile since I last played this…”
023: “You are wasting money!”
014: “Shush, I got this…”
Honoka: “Look at that couple… They look like they are having difficulties…”
Kyouya: “Yeah…” as he looks at 014 missing another plushie.
Honoka: “You want to go help them?”
Kyouya: “Sure.” and he walks over towards them. Honoka didn’t notice that the guy is 014.
Kyouya: “You guys need some help with that?”
023: “Yes please, this guy here is completely useless with the joystick.”
Kyouya gave a small “pfft.”
014: “Oh shut up, you can’t even hold it at all.”
Kyouya: “Which one do you want?” and 023 points at it.
Kyouya then did his trick and he got the plushie on the first try.
023: “Wow, thank you so much!”
014: “Thank you.”
Kyouya: “Don’t mention it…” and walks towards Honoka.
014: “Eh?”
023: “Huh? What’s wrong?”
014: “That girl… was supposed to be dating Natsuki… Did she jump ships? Or is she cheating on Natsuki?”
023: “Ask Mayumi later, she might know.”
014: “Let’s go back… It’s getting late.”
Mayumi walks out of a bar, drunk. Swaying left to right while walking. Natsuki who was on his grocery shopping trip and was about to go home, saw her.
Natsuki: “Sensei? Are you okay? Wow, the reek of alcohol…”
Mayumi: “Ah? Hehehe, it’s a young looking Natsuki… What are you doing here?”
Natsuki: “She must be thinking that she’s in her timeline… Let’s get you home…” and he piggybacks her.
Honoka: “Tonight was fun.”
Kyouya: “It sure is…”
Honoka: “Were they fighting when you approached them?”
Kyouya: “Yeah, they were bickering.”
Honoka giggles.
Kyouya: “Wait, is that… Natsuki and Sensei?”
Honoka looks: “Yeah it is them, I think Sensei is drunk…”
Kyouya: “This relationship journey is going to be a long and challenging one…”
Honoka: “I kind of do hope they get together…”
Natsuki eventually reached her apartment, he presses the doorbell. 014 opens the door.
014: “It’s you again.”
Natsuki: “She’s drunk, take care of her.”
014: “Thank you for carrying her back… Should be heavy since you have grocery bags…” and he carries Mayumi.
Natsuki: “It’s nothing…” and he walks away.
014 lays Mayumi in bed and tucks her in.
023: “Is she always like this when she drinks?”
014: “Nah, she has great alcohol tolerance, if she drinks till she drops, means she’s hiding something from us…”
023: “What is she hiding?”
014: “God knows, she has a lot of secrets she haven’t told me, you know…”
023: “She is a pretty mysterious person, isn’t she?”
014: “She’s smart about that.”
Mayumi woke up late the next morning.
Mayumi: “Ah… headache.”
023: “You are finally awake.”
Mayumi: “Oh no, I’m way too late to go to school…”
023: “Don’t worry, I already called your school about it. I told them I’m your little sister.”
Mayumi: “Thanks… But I need to go somewhere.”
023: “Just rest up already.”
Mayumi: “Just a quick trip, I will be back.”
023: “Ok then, please don’t screw up or 014 will kill me… He ordered me to take care of you before he left for work…”
Mayumi: “Don’t worry, I’m a grown woman.” and she rushes off.
Mayumi then texted Natsuki to meet her after school.
Natsuki walks to the back of the school, with Mayumi waiting for him already.
Natsuki: “Why did you call me back here?”
Mayumi: “After your confession, I was thinking about it the whole time. I love this place, because it reminds me of my schooling days, I don’t think I want to go back to the future anymore, since there is nothing left for me there anyways. And also thank you for carrying me back home last night. I must have looked rather disgraceful…”
Natsuki: “It’s okay…”
Mayumi: “I want to respond to your confession.”
Natsuki: “Eh?”
Mayumi: “Let’s date.”
He won’t like her she’s 50 and wrinkly and he’s in his prime…

But it’s true… also, in the US, a 35 year old getting it on with a 15 year old is a crime regardless of the circumstances. Mayumi needs to take a chill pill. Natsuki needs therapy.
