The concept of "memento mori"
tells how one may be alive now but the end will eventually come.
The same goes for me. I don't know when I'll get fired.
Miyamura Sayoko is a girl I secretly have feelings for.
She's a friendly honor student who's popular on campus.
Etou-kun, what are you reading?
Oh, sorry about this. We're in the middle of class.
It's nothing.
I shouldn't get the wrong idea.
She talks to me since she is simply nice to everyone.
She won't give me the time of the day otherwise.
I quit halfway on whatever I do,
waste away, and distance myself from others.
Things will probably stay the same in the future.
I bet I won't even be able to hold a girl's hand till the day I die.
Maybe I should get a license soon and go somewhere far away...
Huh?
Bitch, how much do you think this costs!?
Like hell, I care! Weren't you the one who bumped into me?
What a lame drip you have there!
Should you be talking that way?
Are you a punk girl or what?
No, don't touch me!
You have no cash? I guess we have no other choice!
Whoa... Ignore them... Ignore them...
If I try to intervene, I'll only end up getting hurt.
I feel bad for that girl but hardening my heart here is what's best for me.
And then I won't be able to do anything all my life.
Here...
Please let her go with this!
She's a friend of mine!
Ohh, what an understanding guy!
By the way, ain't this quite a fat wallet?
Let's go!
What the... It's all receipts!
There's aint any bills!
Idiots!
Miyamura-san!?
Anywhere would do.
We have to go somewhere we could hide.
For now, we should stay here until things settle down.
Hey, aren't you Mutou-kun or something?
Y-Yes... Or rather, it's Etou.
It's my first time casually talking to you.
First time?
You're Miyamura-san, aren't you?
I wonder about that.
Something feels different about her.
Huh? Huuuh!?
This can't be. Are we kissing?
Ah, what are you...
A kiss of gratitude.
She's even using her tongue...
I have a split personality.
Would you believe that?
You see, Sayoko hates nights so she's asleep.
I-Is that some sort of stage play plot?
Anyway, I never did that hoping for this to happen.
Oh, silly. I know you're happy deep down.
Look, your dick got hard.
Isn't this exciting?
That same Miyamura Sayoko you admire is now doing this.
H-How did you...
I've noticed it.
You keep stealing glances right next to me.
Perhaps you use me as a fap fuel at home?
Here, rub-a-dub!
Whether this is a dream or reality,
or how she has a split personality,
they all don't matter!
I'm doing lewd things with Miyamura-san!
That single fact filled up my head.
Look, it might slide in...
Hey, what should we do?
You only have ten minutes left. Wanna request an extension?
Should we get out of here and continue somewhere else?
I couldn't say no to her.
Ohh? So this is what a boy's room looks like.
Anyway, you brought home someone you just met.
You're surprisingly an embodiment of ulterior motives.
H-Hey... You're not any better...
You went that far earlier...
Did I disappoint you?
Well, I usually act like an honor student.
But I can't help it, you know?
This persona exists so she can continue being a good girl.
These are all imposed upon me.
Stuff like the way I act defiantly, the way I talk...
...and my typically strong adolescent urges.
You didn't wipe your dick properly.
But it's all clean now.
They look the same but are they different?
How could that same well-behaved Miyamura-san do something like this?
Hey, Big Bro! Can I come in?
Whoa! G-Give me a second!
That camera prop from last time is missing. Have you seen it?
H-How would I know!?
Anyway, don't just barge in here!
Are you hiding something bad here or what?
Shoot! If she caught us, there'd be a serious family talk!
What an unbelievable sight to behold.
Miyamura-san is giving me head.
Oh yeah, the DVDs you rented!
There's a weird one among them!
The title was something like "I Wanna Be Gently Scolded By My Classmate"!
A-Alright already, cut it out!
This feels way too good! Both the way she wraps her tongue around...
And the way her hair rubs against my thighs...
Eek! Gross!
Why are you panting there!?
Seriously, you should be careful! You're scaring me off!
Grossy-Gross Big Bro!
You wanna be gently scolded, huh?
No, that's not...
Okay, let's put it in.
You're still good to go. Am I right, Mr. Grossy-Gross Big Bro?
Huh? I can't put it in properly...
A bit lower.
Should we be doing this?
I-I'm actually having sex with Miyamura-san!
Hmn... Right there!
Mutou, you're a rough guy!
This feels great.
Her pussy feels warm like it's gonna melt.
I just came earlier but it's not calming down at all!
What a wistful face.
Even though I'm not Sayoko...
You're such an easy guy, Mutou!
You're right...
Miyamura-san would never harbor any feelings for me.
How self-deprecating!
You sure love Sayoko a lot.
I-Isn't that obvious?
Hmm?
Well, I guess so.
You went as far as coming to my rescue from trouble.
But from Sayoko's perspective,
she's getting raped by a classmate she barely talked to while asleep.
That sounds interesting, so how about I switch with her right now?
Don't... Stop!
Mutou, you trigger my maternal instincts for some reason.
Sh-Shut up!
Let me see you reaching orgasm just like this.
You can shoot it all over me.
Here it comes! Miyamura-san! Miyamura-san!
What have I done to Miyamura-san?
Don't worry about it.
Sayoko won't have any memories of when she's asleep.
That will be the case until morning comes.
Hey, call me Yako.
Eh?
That's my name.
I'm in control of this body only at night, thus my name.
Y-Yako...
Wanna keep having sex till sunrise?
That was how I met Yako.
See you next time, Mutou.
Just to be sure, never talk about me.
There's no way I can do that.
And above all, I'm not even sure if I can look straight at her face.
Oh, he's finally here.
Etou, can we talk for a bit?
E-Ehh?
Hey, Etou...
Were you in the North Elem's soccer team?
I-I was...
See? I knew it was true!
Get me Takahashi-kun's autograph! It's my once-in-a-lifetime wish!
Sayocchi will go there with you!
Wait, don't just decide among yourselves!
Who would've thought that I'd be cheering for the North High?
And together with Miyamura-san whom I admire, on top of that?
Isn't this incredible? This is nothing like the TV broadcasts!
But you sure are amazing, Etou-kun.
It's a club anyone can't just join in, so why did you quit?
Uhh, well... I found something else I wanna do.
The truth is everyone's so good that I couldn't keep up, though.
I see... The way you live your life seems kinda nice.
Y-You think so?
Even today, I still feel some attachment and dream about catching balls.
Dreams, huh?
You see, I don't see any dreams for some reason.
If possible, I'd also love to go catch balls
and reach a faraway place.
Miyamura Sayoko has a split personality,
but she isn't aware of it herself.
I have some sort of relationship with that other personality of hers.
For some reason, I feel like we were able to talk properly.
I-Is that so?
Well, you seem to avoid me all the time.
No, no, no! That's not the case at all!
Really?
It would be nice if we could talk like this all the time, then.
Ehh?
I-I'm sorry. I'm acting weird today, am I not?
I might seem out of it since all I do is study.
I usually am just stuck at home and studying.
I barely get to hang out with others.
Oh yeah, I had sex with Miyamura-san before.
Now that I think about it, that was my first time
holding hands with a girl and seeing her body...
Sh-Shoot! What am I even thinking about!?
Don't do this! Not in front of Miyamura-san!
H-Hey, umm...
Do you remember what our teacher said about "memento mori" before?
The one about how the end will eventually come.
It piqued my interest a bit so I looked it up.
That phrase has an interpretation... That the end, death, will come someday
so we have to enjoy the present.
Mutou... So this makes you feel good...
So perky!
Hey, let's do something that feels even better.
Doesn't it feel overwhelming to try to live up to people's expectations?
Maybe I'm not one to talk,
but taking breaks like this once in a while is a good thing.
Ever since I met "her",
wrong thoughts keep popping in my head when I'm with Miyamura-san.
Enjoy the present, huh?
I guess you are right.
Wait, Etou-kun... Are you alright? Your face is flushed.
Ehhhh!?
Uhh, this isn't what it looks like...
What a fail!
S-Stop laughing, Yako!
It's because you try to act cool when you're not used to it.
Cheer up already, Mutou.
I just had a great idea!
Follow me!
Eh, wait... Where are we going?
Do you do stuff like this all the time?
Well, yeah. Just like you said, enjoy the present.
Ta-da! Look, Mutou!
I borrowed these!
Doesn't it feel like Sayoko is here?
Etou-kun!
S-Stop teasing me. It makes me remember about earlier!
Remembering it made you like this, huh?
Hey, since we're already here in school...
How about I become Sayoko just for today?
Eh, what are you talking about?
Don't worry about it. Come on.
Ehh? Huh, Etou-kun?
Umph! Hold on, Etou-kun...
I know Yako is just acting right now.
But since what's in front of me is Miyamura-san's body...
M-Miyamura-san, you're so wet.
No, we can't do this...
Ahh...
Etou-kun!
Don't do that!
No way, ahh!
I'll end up becoming a bad girl!
How could I do this in the classroom?
This is actually Yako, right?
Maybe she's comforting me due to what happened earlier.
It's okay even if you're not a good girl.
I wanna see you not being an honor student, Miyamura-san.
Or is she trying to let me know
about the part I won't ever reach... About Miyamura-san's true feelings.
It's okay even if I'm not a good girl?
I'm gonna put it in.
Okay...
This is crazy! With what she's wearing and where we are...
I'll straight up come inside if I lose focus!
Push it in deeper!
Ahh, this is amazing!
We're like animals!
Miyamura-san... If you shake your hips that hard, I'm gonna...
I-It's no use! I can't stop!
It feels good! I love this!
I love your dick!
I'm sorry.
I'm nothing like the girl you think I am, Etou-kun!
I'm not a good girl at all...
Miyamura-san... What kind of girl did I think she was?
Etou-kun, did you forget your textbook?
Here, let's use this together!
For me, Miyamura-san is...
I'm coming!
I'm gonna come again!
I'm coming!
Etou-kun, come with me!
Mutou...
Have you gained a bit of self-confidence now?
I guess Yako was worried about me in her own way.
I'm fine even without it.
As long as you're always around, that's enough for me!
Dumbass...
Tell that to Sayoko instead.
But in the end,
I may not change but plenty of other things will
whether I want it or not...
Will Yako not be coming over today as well?
Uhh, a make-up exam...
Shit! I've been going to driving school recently so I haven't studied...
Can I sit next to you?
Ah...
Umm, I'm sorry about last time!
Ah, umm... I don't mind it at all!
Even I think of lewd things
and get horny sometimes...
Huh?
Why does something feel off here?
B-By the way, it's unusual to see you taking a make-up exam, Miyamura-san.
I failed the exam on purpose.
Eh?
You see, I just wanted to try going against my mom.
Remember what we talked about last time, Etou-kun?
Since then, I thought to myself that I couldn't stay like this.
That's why I have decided
to stop lying to myself anymore.
We only live once, after all.
Hey, Yako. Didn't you say it before?
That you are a persona born for the sake of
making Miyamura-san continue being a good girl...
The end will eventually come...
"Memento mori."
That phrase was stuck in my mind.
