Recap: "Oh crap, I forgot about this part…" Kotoko thought, "Please change to a different scene! Please!"
Irie-kun was thinking the same thing. He didn't want to deal with a guy that now liked him.
Their wishes came true. They were engulfed by a bright light right as he barged in through the door.
How to Better Understand Your Partner Chapter 3
They ended up at the after party for the graduates and were both glad because they weren't aloud to show any affection towards each other because in this time, they weren't "in love" yet. Kotoko honestly didn't know how she would be embarrassed by a picture of her as a boy in girl clothes. She was a girl already. It probably would make her feel relieved. They had escaped Kinnosuke's clutches from one scene, but Naoki knew it wasn't over for him. The embarrassing song had everyone laughing at him. The taste of class F food was disgusting to Irie-kun, but for Kotoko eating class A food was as good as it could get.
When it came the time, Kotoko recited Naoki(her) letter and got slapped.
"Gosh, I slapped Irie-kun a lot in the past," Kotoko thought while rubbing her cheek.
Naoki reached in his vest and pulled out the picture of Kotoko boy version in girl clothes. Everyone in the room burst out laughing, but honestly, Kotoko didn't feel the least bit embarrassed. She looked exactly like she did as a little girl in the past. In order to keep the scene moving, Kotoko grabbed Naoki's hand as soon as she proposed to pull out another picture.
"Are we supposed to argue again?" Kotoko asked.
"I don't like arguing. Wouldn't you rather just skip to the kiss?" Irie-kun said.
Kotoko nodded. She kissed Irie-kun while trying to recreate the special first kiss she had experienced that day.
"Perfect," Naoki confirmed.
Kotoko smiled. It had been awhile since she had kissed her husband. It wasn't that long, but they had gone through quite a bit of time. The machine skipped a lot of the time for them. Here they were in an alley looking at each other with delight. They sneaked in an extra kiss since they weren't supposed again to kiss until Naoki confessed. Kotoko stuck her tongue out at Irie-kun. He smiled. Kotoko wanted to recreate all the moments they had shared in the past. It had been pretty much a nightmare for Naoki. He didn't realize all the hardships Kotoko had endured. She seemed so cheerful around him during that time, excluding when he first kissed her. Kotoko had thought Irie-kun's life was all pleasure, but she was wrong. The pressure of being the top student in all of Japan. 100% on all tests.
"He must be amazing," everyone said.
There was perks and disappointments in both of their lives.
When they both went back inside, they enjoyed and pushed away the food that was offered to them.
When they went home, they acted normally. This scene had already happened once. They didn't need to react the weird and awkward moments twice. Kotoko and Naoki decided to discuss the "problem" in Kotoko's room
"Do you know when this "backward thing" is going to end?" Kotoko asked.
"I honestly don't know," Irie-kun admitted, "Perhaps when we catch up with our current time I'm guessing. We may have to stay in this form forever."
Kotoko had never heard her husband say I don't know. It didn't sound right coming from his mouth.
"Great, if you don't know there's no possible way I can know," Kotoko complained.
"But you did inherit my brains when we switched so maybe you can do this!" Irie-kun said.
"I'm used to being able to do nothing," Kotoko said.
"The faster we move along this path the better! Soon we'll catch up with our own time and that will be the exit from this path!" Irie-kun said.
"Are you sure? There's no way to calculate how fast we'll move along. The first time it was when we fell asleep, but the second time it was when Kinnosuke came," Kotoko explained.
They both sighed.
"We'll just have to figure it out!" Naoki said.
Just as he spoke, they were swallowed again by a bright light.
"Geez, this machine is so unpredictable," Irie-kun thought.
