----------------------------------------
Great chapter! Liked how each side decide to still give it the all even though the circumstances states otherwise, and really enjoyed how the two reunited after the 9 days (emotional to several extents). Hmm, it seems that Tsutsumi knows Umi's real identity (though this was hinted in previous chapters, it is definently stated this chapter...explaining the reason why he hates gimmicks), like how Umi decided to always stay near Naka and the picture at the end was symbolic to so may extents (really backed up what both believe in).
