Summary[]
Sakura observes how Nozaki sometimes comes to school worn out and injured, wondering if he is involved in fights. Though realizing it was all due to his manga deadlines.
After telling Nozaki he looked like a delinquent, he asks Sakura what they are seen as, to use them in his manga. Sakura happily replies to his question, saying they usually drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. However, due to certain laws, Nozaki explains that the use of alcohol and cigarettes are prohibited, thus he altered the cigarettes into chocolate and alcohol into juice. However, all he did was adding a note saying they were, but clearly looked like the alcohol and cigarettes. There are other laws, added Nozaki, that state what can and cannot be shown.
The traditional two people riding one bike is also prohibited to be shown, stating it to be a traffic violation. Due to this rule, Nozaki and Sakura come up with ideas for the main characters in the manga to go home with the bike.
After school, Nozaki invites Chiyo to go home together, for reference in his manga. But Nozaki brought a two seat bike. Sakura rides anyways, and both of them go for test drives, finding which way works the best. Yet, in the end, Nozaki decides for the characters to walk together.
Sakura, the day later, invites Nozaki to ride the two seat bicycle.
