Chapter 112: I Want To Respond

**I Want To Respond** is the one-hundred-and-twelfth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

With Ichikawa still under the blanket, Moe declares that they will have love talk to start off the night. Yuka opts to go first, and immediately asks Yamada if she has anyone she likes. All the girls look excitedly towards her, as he eyes dart to Ichikawa's spot beside her. He silently asks her why she puts him through these trials, but Moe declares that her ignorance is strong. Yuka pushes back, asking what that is supposed to mean, while Yamada carefully wriggles into her futon beside Ichikawa as he quietly freaks out at the contact. Yuka then asks what her type is, with her replying "someone funny." Chi smugly says she called it, and Serina adds that that's what she always says. She adds that she would like someone who says they liked her, with Moe saying there are 500-million people like that, and Serina asking if that's her answer for the media. Yamada says that she's sick of talking about herself, and instead asks with a big head if any of them have been confessed to, which makes Ichikawa angry, knowing what she is implying. Each girl answers in turn, with some calling the others liars. Moe declares that "confessions" are kids' stuff. Yamada demands an explanation, and she clarifies that adults just let a relationship grow, and it naturally turns into that sort of thing. Yamada insists that she'd be happy if she got a confession, though, and jumps up in excitement, nearly exposing Ichikawa and then diving back under her covers. She adds that "letting a relationship grow" is way too vague, and you'd never know for certain about where you'd lie. Moe leans in, whispering, and Yamada reacts with furious blushing, asking if she means before they're even dating, which Moe nods to. Ichikawa realizes she must have been talking about sex, realizing that she must mean that adults have sex for fun, then decide afterwards if they will date.

Suddenly, the lights go out, and Chi announces that it's bed time. Ichikawa realizes that he needs to make an escape plan, and as he moves around, he finds himself lying on his back, with Yamada's hand on his stomach. They share a few tense moments in silence, and Yamada tries asking if everyone is asleep, with Chi responding that it's too soon to be asking that. She turns her attention back to Ichikawa, quietly asking what they should do in his ear. Feeling overstimulated at the contact and warmth of her body, he begins trying to count Prime Numbers. Yamada again leans over to his ear, and suddenly asks if she's an adult. Connecting this to Moe's statement, he can only conclude that she means sex, and she suddenly shifts her knee, coming in contact with his crotch. Shocked, she suddenly sits up, and Andou does the same, asking her what is wrong. Yamada tries to play it off as nothing important, but Andou brings up how she looks suddenly very "big" underneath the blanket. Ichikawa concludes that he's as good as dead now that they're going to be found out, but Yamada points to the open balcony, asking what that is outside. Andou says that her reaction is forced, but looks anyway, and suddenly sees Kanzaki hanging from a makeshift rope made from various blankets, rocking violently in the wind. All the girls make a ruckus, as Chi and Serina run to grab him, and the others run to get Moriya. Seeing their chance, Yamada gets Ichikawa out of her futon and rushes him out the door, but before he runs off, tells him that she wants to respond properly to his earlier confession. He waves an affirmative hand to her, saying sure, and walks off.

A concluding panel shows Maeda sitting on a bench, holding a kendo stick, with Kanzaki and Adachi sitting next to him. Kanzaki asks Adachi what got him in trouble.

## Trivia

Kanzaki was trying to get into Hara's room with his rope blanket trick, but was blown off-course by the wind. This explains his map from the earlier chapter and talking about where her room was.
