A diary of the one love between separated stars.   

pg2.
Sakuya:    ...
    {...in the end,
    Chihiro-kun didn't come...}
[box]
Sakuya is waiting for Chihiro-kun to come and meet Kanade but she's getting impatient...
Sakuya:    {Ah!
    I have to go to my part-time job tomorrow!
    If he comes when I'm out working then I won't be around!
    Which means he will be alone with Kana-chan!}
    (What would happen?!)
    {I have to tell him just in case he forgets...!}

pg3.
Kanade:    If you're not gonna study then how about going to sleep?
Sakuya:    WAH!!
    Of course I'm studying!
Kanade:    Ah, I see.
Sakuya:    {...Ah
    I wonder if I should tell Kana-chan
    that Chihiro-kun's coming
    (but then...!)
    He looks like he's finally gotten into a good mood
    If I say something unnecessary now and get him angry...
    I wouldn't be able to face Chihiro-kun if Kana-chan refuses to meet him..!}
[side panel]
A diary of the one love between separated stars.
Even if I knew, I still fell for you.

pg4.
Kanade:    ...Oh yeah Saku
    After you decide on your hopes for the final course, contact them immediately
    the other house
    If you don't do anything about it, I'll get naggy
Sakuya:    ...
    Sure
    But before that comes the test!
Kanade:    You weren't studying since just now though
Sakuya:    {Studying for the sake of the camp is important but
    I don't know when Chihiro-kun would be coming over so
    I can't calm down.
   
pg5.
Sakuya:    Chihiro-kun!
    Can I speak to you for a bit?
Chihiro:    ...what?
Sakuya:    You know, firstly,
    there's something I forgot to tell you...
Chihiro:    ?
Sakuya:    You said you would come to my house right?
Chihiro:    I did not.
Sakuya:    ...You
    You can't deceive me...you can't deceive me this time you know...?
[sfx: chichichichichi (oh no no no no no)]
Chihiro:    (eh) You were really deceived at that time?
[picture] *Chapter 10
    It wasn't a dream!

pg6.
Sakuya:    (anyway), I have a part time job,
    that's why if you come on my working days, I'm afraid I won't be around...
Chihiro:    Aah
    Now that you mention it, you're working part time huh
    ...
    So Kanade-san is afraid of it being just me and him alone?
Sakuya:    EH
    Ah
    That's...
Chihiro:    That's okay. It's not like I mind or anything
    ...I don't
    hate that person anyway
    Though I don't like him either
Sakuya:    Which is it?!

pg7.
Chihiro:    ...Shiina
Sakuya:    Wha-, YES?! (He called me by that again!!)
(A defeat?)
Chihiro:    ...sometimes
    It's better if you don't speak to me in places where people can see us.
    ...Later.
Girls:    (Aoi-ku~n)
Sakuya:    {...Eh
    What was that...
    I haven't had that rejection in a long time...!}
Sei:    Saku!

pg8.
Sakuya:    {...That's
    not it... is it?}
    What is it? Sei-chan
Sei:    Shall we have a study session sometime soon?
Sakuya:    Eh...but
Sei:    (Hm)
    It'll be fine. I want to be of some help also
    The camp,
    you want to come for it right?
Sakuya:    ...
    Yea...!
Sei:    Where shall we have it?
    The house's okay but that guy's back...
Sakuya:    Saki-san has returned? That's great isn't it?
Sei:    It isn't. He's noisy.
Girl:    I say, Aoi-kun...

pg9.
Girl:    You ended up entering the that Star-something club didn't you?
Chihiro:    ...It's rather that I'm just being with them because there aren't enough people.
Girl:    Then how about the summer camp?
    Are you participating?
Chihiro:    ...camp?
Girl:    (eh) You haven't heard? During the summer holidays, we have camps for each club.
Chihiro:    .........Aah
[sfx: smile]
    That camp.   
    I haven't decided if I'm going or not yet.
Girl:    I thought so~!
    Since you also have exams~!

pg10.
Chihiro:    That's the first time I've heard of it.........
    (She definitely forgot to mention it...)
Girl:    But I do want to go out and play.
Girl2:    Yea~!
[sfx: ding dong (school bell)]
Yuuri:    Alri~ght
    Today's lessons are over!
    Saku!
    Today's your part time job right? Wanna go home together?
Sakuya:    Can I drop by the staff room? I've got something I want to ask.
Yuuri:    Sure, you're dropping by huh.
Guy:    Yuuri!
    Yuuri, Yuuri!

pg11.
Yuuri:    .........What.
Guy:    Come over today! I bought that game we were talking about a while ago!
Yuuri:    I can't today.
Guy:    (EHHH?!)
    WHYY?! Everyone's coming you know?!
Sakuya:    ...
    Go ahead Yuuri (It sounds like fun)
Guy:    That's right! Come on Yuuri!!
Yuuri:    Okay I got it...
    See you later then Saku!
Sakuya:    Yea
Sei:    Well then, I'll go for the committee meeting and go home.
    See you tomorrow
Sakuya:    Tomorrow!
Girl:    Don't smile so frivolously.
   
pg12.
Girl:    Eh? What's the matter Shiina-san
    See you tomorrow!
    Bye bye Shiina-san.
(giggle)

pg13.
Sakuya:    {...I'm weak}

pg14.
Sakuya:    {It's alright.
    I'm fine.
    Nothing's wrong.
    Don't lose yourself.
    One by one
    I'll take it like this.
(that's why!)
(ahaha)
(ahahaha)

pg15.
Sakuya:    {......The rain
    It isn't stopping...
    I want to look at... stars.}

pg16.
Chihiro:    ...
    So you're finally awake...

pg17.
Sakuya:    ......
    Eh......
    Huh......
    HUH?
    What is it?
Chihiro:    What is it?...
    I was going to talk to you about something but it looked like you were sleeping so
    I say anything.
    ...Because I thought you'd wake up sooner or later
Sakuya:    {That surprised me...}

pg18.
Sakuya:    {I saw
    a star}
Chihiro:    ...What?
    Are you half asleep?
Sakuya:    {Yea
    That surprised me.}
    ...I'm fine.
    Sorry about that... Thanks
    for waiting...
Chihiro:    !

pg19.
Chihiro:    .........That was nothing.
    It wasn't like I was waiting because I wanted to...
    ...
    Could you let me get out what I want to say so I can go home?
Sakuya:    Ah, you're right! What could it be?
[sfx: stand]
Chihiro:    That there're camps during the summer holidays...
    I didn't hear about that.
Sakuya:    .........
    ............
    Oh...?
Chihiro:    I didn't hear about that.
Sakuya:    So-
    sorr...-
    It wasn't like I was keeping it from you!
Chihiro:    You want to say that you forgot right?
    Whatever, that aside...
    So, about that camp...
[sfx: bashi/big impact]

pg20.
Sakuya:    ...
Chihiro:    what
Sakuya:    I-, I've got a bad feeling...(about this)
Chihiro:    So I see. I'll just say it for convenience though
    When the date for the camp is confirmed, please make sure you inform me.
    Don't forget it this time.
    ...Even I
    have a schedule to follow so
    ...anyway, I'll try to keep myself free   
Sakuya:    ...You're
    willing to participate?
Chihiro:    .........
    If there wasn't supposed to be one in the first place then don't have it.
    You have a habit of making a big deal out of things

pg21.
Sakuya:    ...!
    Okay...!
    That may be right!
    It might get noisy!
Chihiro:    ...
    (sigh)
Sakuya:    But I'm really glad! I thought you would refuse!
    With this, I'll be able to have a fighting spirit for the test!
Chihiro:    What has the test got to do with the camp?
Sakuya:    Ah-!
    Er-
    (...erm well)
    If my test results are bad (then)
    I'll have to take supplementary lessons for the summer holidays
    and then...it'll clash with the camp so......

pg22.
Chihiro:    Are you an idiot?
Sakuya:    Wai-!!!
    Don't you think that was being too direct?!!
Chihiro:    You're in trouble for all your subjects?
Sakuya:    (It-) It's not that bad...just that...
    ...this time
    it's geography...
Chihiro:    Eh
    Geography...
    Don't tell me you're only okay for astronomy? (since you like it)
Sakuya:    Yea- Yea
Chihiro:    ......really?
    Then you do know the person who recited the Ptolemaic theory?
Sakuya:    I know that at least!
    It's Copernicus!
Chihiro:    ......
Sakuya:    ......
    Eh.

pg23.
Sakuya:    Eh...EH?! I'M WRONG?!
    Even that was surely...
    It's right isn't it?!
    Was it wrong?!
    Did I get it wrong?!
Chihiro:    ...Hah
    ...I
    was just kidding.
    ...It's right.
Sakuya:    ~~~~~--!!

pg24.
Sakuya:    {Even though}
    ...Just what are is it
    you bully......
Chihiro:    If you had confidence then you wouldn't be deceived.
Sakuya:    {I had felt overwhelmed
    It can just be overwritten
    because
    we're going home together
    we're able to talk
    more than ever before
    so much more
    we can talk about

pg25.
Chihiro:    I guess they exist, people who have no sense of how to study
    You need knowledge in geography
    Write it a hundred times, and read it out a hundred times until it's engraved in your mind
Sakuya:    {Although the topic of conversation's really foreign...}
    (let's change the topic)
    Erm...speaking of which,
    I thought you'd tell me not to talk to you
    this afternoon...
Chihiro:    Huh?
    ...I don't care anymore
    Idiots don't change no matter what's told to them
Sakuya:    EEEHHH why'd you say that...
    AH!
    {Even if I'm bullied}

pg26.
Chihiro:    ...what
Sakuya:    There's work today! I'm late!   
Chihiro:    ...See, what an idiot
Sakuya:    {Until I lifted up my head
    Someone who waited for me until then}
    ...
    ...mmm---

pg27.
Sakuya:    It's sunday so...
    I've overslept...
    {The studying method Chihiro-kun taught me is so troublesome...
    Oh
    I've got to get changed and give my face a wash!
    Chihiro-kun might come today
    Although his mood seems to have recovered, the fact remains that Kana-chan is angry at Chihiro-kun
    If I left them to themselves and they get into a fight or something-!
[sfx: (clothes) toss]
[sfx: slide]
    Good morning Kana-chan
    Sorry, I overslept...   

pg28.
Kanade:    Oh
Chihiro:    ...
Kanade:    Mornin'
Chihiro:    Kanade-san, it was from the left? Why do you peel the skin from the left?
    (You look like a scary person)
Kanade:    You're really noisy. I do it from both sides.
Chihiro:    But isn't carving from the right?...it's weird

pg29.
Kanade:    It's not weird. Why're you having complaints about me huh?
    HUH?!
[sfx: scrape]
[sfx: scrape scrape]
Chihiro:    THAT'S DANGEROUS. PUT DOWN THE KNIFE.
(pace pace pace...)
(pace pace pace...)
[sfx: click]
Chihiro:    No you don't
    what're you doing?
Sakuya:    (nononono)
    I can't understand it. I'm a little excited, was thinking that it's a rare sight for Chihiro-kun to have your fringe up
    (a shot for keepsakes)
    Kanachan!! Why is it like this? What's going on?!
Kanade:    What do you mean what's going on...?

pg30.
Kanade:    (Ah)
    After this is done, go wash the washing machine, you bastard.
Sakuya:    What happened to your explanation?!
Chihiro:    I'm tired already.
Sakuya:    No, I mean
Kanade:    You can't possibly get that tired. That's why stuff from Tokyo are useless
Sakuya:    Wai-
Chihiro:    Isn't Kanade-san from Tokyo as well?
Kanade:    You an idiot? I was already useless from the very start.
Sakuya:    ...!
Sakuya:    Please explain---!!
[box]
Despite Sakuya's concerns, the two of them are on good terms(?) and working hard at housework. What in the world happened?!
