It's quite understandable that
Kanrinin-san is annoyed.
Right.
I was quite surprised myself.
Please.
Tell me what I did.
I can't say it.
Hey. Tell me.
What?!!!
I did a nude dance in front of Kanrinin-san
saying "look at me, look at me"?
Completely nude.
How could I have?
Umm..
Yes.
About last night.
Yes.
I'm so sorry!
No.
You must despise me now.
No.
I don't despise you.
I was rather surprised, though.
I'll bet.
I'm really sorry.
Please forget it.
It was the booze talking.
The real me would never do such a thing.
Then, you didn't really mean it?
Of course not! It was just a joke.
That's the worst!
Never make a joke
of telling someone that you love her!
Eh?
Love?
Why am I so angry?
That's right.
What difference does it make if it is a joke?
We're just superintendant and tenant.
That's right.
I love you!
I love you!
I love you!!!
Kyoko-san, I love you!
I'll carry you.
Godai-san!
Put me down!
But... It sure didn't seem like a joke.
Hey.
I'll be going.
Have a good day.
Oh, were you there?
Poor guy.
He's so depressed.
He thinks you despise him.
What?
But I undersand how you feel.
But let me tell you something.
You have a chance...
Eh?
That he really feels that way about you.
"Kyoko-san, I loooove you!"
A woman can be really happy
when a man loves her like that...
...At least that's what I think.
But remember he is a ronin.
Eh?
What will you do
if he fails his exams because of you?
No way...
I made it!
Hey!!
You and the ronin are kind of alike.
Huh?
What will you do?
About the ronin?
Are you having fun?
Yes.
I am.

Let's go.
I can't wait to get to college.
Yeah.
It must be nice to be in college.
I'm sick of being a ronin.
It sucks.

Even though I may sound like
"your friend Sakamoto"...
Huh?
What are you doing?
It's Christmas.
Kyoko-san.
Here...
Ah, it's pretty.
Why for me?
Because I love you, Kyoko-san.
And I really love you, too, Godai-san.
I'll take it.
Thank you very much.
Please wait one moment.
I'm home!
Welcome back.
Kanrinin-san.
Yes?
Kanrinin-san.
Welcome home.
We're back.
We've been shopping.
Ronin, take this.
Kanrinin-san.
I got this Christmas present for you.
Thank you!
Is okay if I open it?
Yeah!
Thank you.
Why for me?
Because I love you, Kyoko-san.
And I really love you, too, Kentarou-kun.
Hey, what's with you, Ronin?
Did you fail another practice exam?
No!
Hey, take this too!
Lets play together, okay?
Uh huh.
I'll never be able to give to her.
I'm hopeless.
Merry Christmas!
The ronin should have come, too.
You invited him, right?
Yep.
But he categorically refused this time.
Oh... Why?
He needs to study?
No way.
- He didn't look that way.
- Hmm.
Make way for the delicious cake!
Eat up! Eat up!
Eat a lot, Akemi-chan!
Have fun!
Have fun!
Have fun!
So what you're saying is
it's Kanrinin-san's fault...
Eh?
There are only two things
in the head of that boy.
There's only one thing in my head.
Maybe I should have gone
to the Christmas party.
But I wish Kanrinin-san had told me
she was going, too.
Godai-san.
Godai-san.
Let's share.
Eh?
If you want...
Sure!
No alchohol, right?
Since you have to study later.
Right!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Ah!
Snow.
Look, just a little.
You're right.
You could call this,
"romantic," couldn't you?
Were you going to say something?
You're remembering a Christmas
from before, right?
Right.
I thought so.
Oh yeah!
Huh?
Wow, you're really good, Kanrinin-san.
You're really bad, Godai-san.
But I don't get it.
What?
That even in a desperate situation,
with no good moves,
you always make a stong comeback.
Okay.
A strong comeback.
I see... Very effective.
What?
I seem to have turned the whole board white.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
No, that's fine.
It's okay.
It was a strong move.
Eh?
Please do your best
