The One [Chapter 108]

Angus touches An Bai’s chest and says she has already been protecting her heart for such a long time. She is staying at his side without asking anything in return or perhaps, security but what can she get. Doesn’t she feel frustrated for wasting so much time? He doesn’t know how terrible he was before but during these two years, he is quite content. He mentions something about some beautiful female characters falling for him and he would politely refuse. He holds An Bai’s hands and asks if she knows why, well, it is because he doesn’t want to see her hurt and sad. This made An Bai think that they had been together these past two years yet she didn’t notice that Angus has changed, those truly gentle eyes, he is no longer the Angus of before. Angus urges her to take risks and even if she gets hurt, she has him with her. And, blushing An Bai kisses with Angus. Back inside, Eros tells Taylor that he has messed up for always thinking that Lele would always unconditionally be devoted to him so he thought that it is inevitable that he firmly believed that she should wait for him, but then, making her wait indefinitely is too cruel. Taylor asks if she wanted to break up with him. Eros says yes. Taylor asks won’t he try to get her back. He says that she won’t answer his calls again and actually, what can he still tell her since he had chosen to take care of Angus and has already cast her aside. Lele also has a very good future career prospect and actually, she isn’t obliged to waste time on him. Just then, Angus and An Bai enter the house and overhear Taylor who holds Eros’s shoulder and telling him that he truly sacrificed too much for Angus. This made Angus asks if they are hiding something from him. He asks who Eros’ girlfriend is and what happened that Taylor would say that Eros sacrificed too much for him. Angus tells her that he believes that she knows and would she tell him. A bit tense, An Bai tells him not to think too much for Eros had a famous girlfriend model before but they break up and made up so many times, and it isn’t because of him. Feidna is a vain woman, and because of ‘flying up a branch to become a phoenix’ [= it is an idiom about trying to hook with rich/famous men to improve one’s status], she has cast away Eros so many times. So after something happened to Angus, Eros brought him to this place to recuperate and of course, it is impossible for Feidna to give up her career and come along..so naturally, they break up.

Kobayashi ga Kawai Sugite Tsurai [Chapter 30]

Pointing his shinai at the stalker, Mitsuru says that he’s helping Mego and this is her thanks. “Owing someone a favor isn’t my nature. Tokugawa, you just let me do the protecting.” Mitsuru prepares to attack. Azusa blushes. This made the stalker turn around and run off. Mitsuru angrily shouts, “Stop!! Wanting to escape huh..you scoundrel..” Before he can chase after the stalker, Azusa grabs his hood from behind. Mitsuru turns around to see furious Azusa. Grabbing his collar, Azusa darkly says, “What’s up with you? Unexpectedly, planning to leave a dainty pitiful beautiful girl all alone in a pitch-black street, are you? Furthermore, at this time, you want to go on a hot pursuit and even provoked the culprit. On the contrary, wouldn’t it be more dangerous? [<- for her?] Don’t you even know that? Are you an idiot? Or what? Huh?” Mitsuru timidly replies, “I’m.. I’m extremely sorry.” He angrily thinks, “Darn it. I obviously saved her. This girl is too arrogant and she’s quite rude. At that time, the moment my heart beat continuously for her is only my misconception!! Right now, there’s no heart beat at the very least!! But rather, she’s making me burn with rage!!” Then, he notices Azusa’s hand that is holding his collar is trembling and she mutters, “Th..” He asks what. Blushing Azusa says, “I’m saying thank you!! Idiot!!” This made Mitsuru blush. He tells her that he obviously saved her yet she unexpectedly scolds him. “Stupid, your personality is quite awful!!” Azusa retorts back, “Ha!? I just thanked you yet you would still say that I’m awful. You blockhead!!” Mitsuru thinks that even if Azusa’s mouth is complaining nonstop, but her hand is always trembling. “Ya. Tokugawa is also an ‘ordinary girl’.” Soon, at a huge mansion, Mitsuru comments so this is her house. He thinks that it is amazing that they even have two [Mercedes] Benz cars. He tells Azusa to properly lock the door when she’s sleeping and she has to be a bit vigilant. “It is possible that guy would come back at any time.” Azusa tells him that she knows that and it isn’t necessary for him to remind her of that. After a pause, she says, “You too. Be careful on your way and quickly go home.” Azusa goes inside and a maid greets her. The maid is puzzled that she isn’t reacting. Azusa starts blushing really red and blows off steam like a whistling kettle pot.

Kedamono Kareshi [Chapter 23]

And, the small lies are accumulating bit by bit. Himari couldn’t sleep when she should because they are going home tomorrow and it will be a long trip. She looks at her cellphone with a fox strap and blushes. She thinks that it isn’t ‘a souvenir from the trip’ but rather, it is a confirmation of their close connection. She hears some sound and is surprised that Keita with his quilt has gone to her and tells her, shh.. Himari still screams in surprise that Keita immediately covers her mouth and ask what she is doing, stupid when he tells her to be quiet. Blushing and confused Himari is wondering why Keita is over at her side when her mother is just beside her. While hiding inside the quilt with Keita, Himari whispers what he is thinking, quickly leave when their parents are in the same room. He whispers her to stop moving recklessly when it’s quite crammed inside. She blushes in surprise when Keita hugs her tight. He tells her that she’s noisy, can’t she keep quiet. Himari becomes quiet and feels very nervous. Keita complains that obviously they have three days’ time yet [they] didn’t get to do anything at all. He blames his father for being a hindrance and all of his original plans are wasted. Himari turns to face him then stares at him. This made Keita blush and tells her not to look towards this side. She asks him if he wasn’t happy during this trip. After a pause, Keita says that it isn’t quite bad like that strap thing. This made Himari think that obviously this is wrong but she wants to stay at his side and really wants to be close to him and thinking of this, always liking him.

He said that club activity is temporarily suspended so while he’s idle, bring Suiren home everyday. He commented that Suiren ought to be shock upon seeing that bandage. Ryousuke suggested that they go to the shrine [hatsumode] first. Kawasumi agreed. At the shrine, Kawasumi thought that this is the second time. The first time he prayed for health. Now, he prayed to become stronger..but wait, if he wanted to become stronger, he’ll become stronger. Kawasumi is speechlessly over Ryousuke’s omikuji fortune which is ‘great blessing’.

She is embarrassed to go to school like that. She thinks that a hickey unexpectedly hurts compared to what she imagined. She blushes really red upon remembering it. “In the end, after yesterday, he didn’t do anything to me again.. *surprised* What do I mean he didn’t do anything to me again. For me to say that, it seems that I really wanted him to do something. I..I don’t have that kind of wish at all.. Ah..Could it be that I’m really hoping that something happens..? That..that kind of thing.. no way, right? By the way, after the hickey, Hinase’s expression is.. I was wondering whether or not it is because of Nanjou’s paper that he got jealous, but after that, his attitude is the same as usual.. *frown* same as usual. So..so, I’m saying why do I feel disappointed. *flustered* How could Hinase be jealous because of me. Because, he’s that Hinase, right? Right!

Rino asks if Chihiro has a cold and has a sore throat. This made Chihiro pretend to cough and says yes, it is because she got wet in the rain yesterday, and whose fault is it. She looks at Hinase who smiles and says, is that so. Chihiro is irked by that expression. At school, Chihiro looks at her neck with a small mirror. She is relieved and it is thanks to Rino’s advice. Rino had advised her to use make-up to cover up the hickey instead of wearing a scarf, and Chihiro went to the convenient store to buy some. Still looking at the mirror, Chihiro wonders why she didn’t think of such a simple thing. She looks at Sho then shows her neck to him – be disappointed [/too bad]. This made Sho click his tongue, tsk. Rino goes to Chihiro to talk about contacting Nanjou regarding supporting the competition.

Hirunaka No Ryuusei [Chapters 56-57]

[Free Talk: I’ll temporarily continue to summarize this series until the English scanlation catches up to the latest chapter.]

It has been three days since the proposal of posing as a girlfriend has been turned down. Fangirls continue to bug irritated Mamura by greeting him a good morning. He fails to ward them off even if he darkly glares at them. Watching him from the shoe lockers, Suzume and others somewhat pities him since he is still popular as always. Nana comments that it isn’t easy for Mamura. Monika comments that actually Mamura is quite popular and she thought that it was a joke. They talk about how Mamura looked like he is in a super bad mood and it is his fault for rejecting their plan but then, those first year girls are quite lively. Frowning Suzume thinks that it turns out that it is quite hard to be popular. A first year calls out to Mamura and asks where he bought those headphones because they are very cute. Mamura angrily tells her not to touch. The girl says that it is alright, she also wants to buy one. Suzume feels something odd after seeing that – what’s going on, it feels a bit. Then, there are more scenes of fangirls: 1. wanting senpai Mamura to taste their baked cookies, 2. they follow him on his way home and think, ah so that’s the direction of his house, 3. they watch him buy a drink on the vending machine and say that it turns out that he likes cola, so cute, and 4. they watch him play basketball and says ah he likes to play ball. All through out Mamura just has his popped veins increasing. =P While Suzume is walking the hallway with her friends, Yuyuka is still infuriated. She complains that Mamura is too naïve and like that, he definitely should thoroughly reject[? those girls] and it’s so annoying. Monika says that is enough, calm down for isn’t it quite cute to be chased around from behind. Nana says that it will be just for some time and later on, they’ll give up so don’t mind him. Yuyuka mutters that they are too patient. Suzume tells Yuyuka that right now, she can understand a bit this feeling of Yuyuka’s about it. This surprises Yuyuka that she says that is quite rare from her when obviously before she always has this it is ‘none of my business’ kind of thing. Suzume says that even if it is like that, she felt that upon truly seeing it in front of her, it makes her feel uncomfortable about it. Perhaps, in her heart, it is a ve-ry suffocating lie-something but it is like, just by seeing him talking with other girls beside her and Yuyuka, her heart feels..somewhat a bit complicated. Yuyuka’s words stabs Suzume when she said that Suzume’s opinion is considerably selfish and willful. “Obviously you yourself dumped Mamura by telling him ‘we are friends’-something. And this friend became popular with other girls and you feel out of sorts. Like this, isn’t it because you’re willful and your nature quite awful.” This made Suzume aghast and depressed with herself for she is still truly a hateful person. Yuyuka giggles for this is quite fun. She asks gloomy Suzume if she knows what it is called for Suzume to be like that. She asks awful? Yuyuka exclaims no, it is what people call as jealousy.

I’m going to resign from my work at the hospital. You’ll also quit school. There is an overseas hospital that has invited me to go. There’s no need to worry at all for this family still has some inheritance. *Yuki looks shock* We can start a new life together. Afterwards, you can resume your studies and search for a new love. From now on, you are Mizuhara Yuki.” Trembling Yuki mutters what he is saying, she totally do not understand.. Taking out some pills from his pocket, Shiki tells her that she hasn’t rest up well so there’s a problem with her thinking so drink this medicine first and properly sleep. Yuki takes the medicine for she doesn’t want to think. “I only want to deeply sleep--..” Later on, Yuki wakes up and wonders what time it is. She goes out and calls out to her brother. At the kitchen, preparing some food, Shiki asks if she is awake and does she want to drink some soup. Sitting on the sofa while hugging a cushion, Yuki says that she wants to drink some warm water. She asks him how long she has been sleeping. Shiki says that he doesn’t know because he went to the hospital so didn’t she wake up even once during that time. Shiki has crushed some sleeping pills with a mortal and pestle. After Yuki ate and drank, she passed out on the sofa. Shiki glances at her and calls someone that he wants to go on official leave. After some time, wearing dark suits, Eiji and Yuuya went to Yuki’s house. Yuuya pushes the intercom and greets Shiki that he is the Tachibana who met with him at the hospital before. “Yuki-chan isn’t answering her phone and emails. I’m somewhat worried so I’ve come to visit before..” Shiki says that Yuki’s condition isn’t quite good so she is still resting. He asks them to please leave for today.

Last Game [Chapter 26]

At the café, Yanagi tells Fujimoto to please stop coming to his work place. While Kujou is busy studying, Fujimoto asks Yanagi what’s with that attitude towards a customer when they are contributing to the sales so just give them Café au lait and red tea. Kujou apologizes to Yanagi for she did tell Fujimoto that coming over would bother him. Thinking that he wants her to come often, Yanagi timidly says that it isn’t really a bother, and it is just because it is a workplace so someone might see, and it is also okay with him as long as they don’t keep on talking with him. After Yanagi leaves with their orders, Kujou asks Fujimoto about that travel magazine that she’s holding. Fujimoto tells her that it is almost time for the summer camp so she is looking for a place to stay. Unlike the one in spring wherein they stayed overnight, this time around it will be three days and two nights. Since they are low on budget, she’s looking for a cheap place and it isn’t good to always lend Yanagi’s villa. She asks Kujou if there is any place where she wants to go. Kujou says not really, she is happy just being with everyone. This moves Fujimoto that she hugs Kujou and exclaims that Kujou is so cute. Yanagi angrily tells the customer to quit doing that intimate thing. Fujimoto tells him that he’s annoying. Kujou tells Fujimoto that before camp, there’s an exam. At the canteen, the president tries to sell his notes for 10 yen per page. No one takes his offer since Yanagi just came from a review [<- cram school?], Kujou wants to depend on herself in studying and Souma has no money. The president is in tears when Fujimoto reminds him to finish the report which is due tomorrow. Fujimoto asks the others about the summer camp. They went to Tochigi last year so she wants to go somewhere else this year. Fujimoto notices that Souma’s cellphone kept on ringing and he keeps on turning it ff. Fujimoto mentions this and Souma apologizes for it. He tells them that after telling his parents that he won’t be coming home during summer vacation, they kept on calling him ever since then. Fujimoto asks how come he doesn’t want to go home. He tells her that it isn’t easy to come to Tokyo so why would he wish to go back to the province. He also doesn’t want to meet his father. Fujimoto asks if they had a fight. Souma says that his father particularly opposed his coming to Tokyo that until now, he kept on saying that he is unfilial [/ill-mannered] for yearning for Tokyo so in short, his rigid-minded father puts him in a bad mood. Souma is speechless when Kujou says that it is wrong to say that for weren’t they helping out with the tuition fees.
