Then I'll be by Ikki-kun as much as I can.. since yes, I really, really like it too. It's nice to be able to talk to Ikki-kun every day, even if he said it's not a big deal..

[ dot.. dot.. dot-- wait a moment. ]

Um.. Smoker-kun, can I ask something else? Why can I be a friend to Ikki-kun in ways Smoker-kun can't..?
