While her heart is beating really fast like a deer [in front
of the headlights], blushing Azusa thinks that startled her for he suddenly
smiled at her and praised her. “It’s a foul!! But it is the first time I was
praised by him. (>///<)” Mitsuru tells her that these activities is quite
tiring so how about a ceasefire and they go eat something. While walking in the
streets, as an ojousama, Azusa is wondering if they should eat Italian or
French cuisine. As a commoner, Mitsuru is short on money so he plans to eat at
Mcdonald’s. Then, Mitsuru overhears someone exclaiming that is amazing. It is
Mego who is delighted to also have Kojuro doll aside from Masamune and
Megohime. [Kojuro is Masamune’s outstanding counselor] The souvenir stall owner
says that is right, she is giving it to her because she’s so cute. Mego
tearfully thanks her. Mitsuru falls down in disbelief. While Azusa is puzzled
over what Mitsuru is doing by the wall near the bushes, Mitsuru thinks that
Mego would actually go on a date nearby and she would even go to some souvenir
shop on her first date, how disappointing. He assumes that Aoi is definitely
horrified and angry that things turn out this way. Glancing at Aoi, Mitsuru is
shock that Aoi is actually happy and he looks like he is enjoying himself.
“That’s wrong, it’s too strange, Aoi-kun!! Quickly get angry!!” Mego happily
tells Aoi that today, she thoroughly enjoyed the totoro-jiru and it’s quite
delicious. Angry Mitsuru is shock that she would even unexpectedly eat totoro-jiru
on the first date. “No good, these two totally don’t know the situation!!
Fundamentally, there’s no slightest degree of sentiment. *sighs* It cannot be
helped. I have to do it. As the older brother, I’m going to fire things up.” ‘Aoi’
says, “Compared to totoro-jiru, I want to make you softly melt into my love
tonight.” Mego goes into shock. Aoi blushes. While Mego starts to nosebleed,
confused Aoi wonders if this this situation just now, is that the voice of his
heart, is that what his heart desires. Hiding by the bushes, Mitsuru tries to
suppress his laughter for he just imitated Aoi’s voice to say that. “Gambatte,
Aoi-kun.” Azusa asks Mitsuru what he is doing. She notices Mego and says that
it is his younger sister. Then, she sees Aoi. Azusa looks stunned and tense.
She mutters that it is Shino’s older brother. Mitsuru is surprised that Azusa
knows Aoi.
Azusa is trembling as she recalls young Shino with Aoi and,
some long haired woman. She quickly grabs Mitsuru’s collar from behind and says
that they’re going. He asks her what’s up with her all of a sudden. Azusa says
that she is in a bad mood for she saw something that she doesn’t want to see,
anyone related to Shino. This surprises Mitsuru. He asks how come she treats
Shino like some thorn on her flesh and didn’t she say before about ‘I don’t
want to see your face, just disappear’. “Why did you tell her such mean words.
You’re character is too twisted!!” This jolts Azusa. Mitsuru thinks that it has
always been on her mind as to what is Shino and Azusa’s relationship, and why Shino
say that Azusa is pitiful when she was the one being troubled by Azusa. “What
could have happened between these two?” Facing away from him, Azusa says that
is right, she doesn’t want to see Shino’s face that is like some beautiful
doll. It’s disgusting to death and she hates it to death. Mitsuru suddenly
grabs her hand and shouts what nonsense she is talking about. He is surprised
to see Azusa’s flustered expression. Azusa turns around again and says that she
is leaving so goodbye. Somewhat flustered Mitsuru thinks that for a second, it
appears like Azusa is crying or was that his imagination? After walking some
distance away, Azusa falls down on the floor. She complains over how painful
her unsuitable shoes are. She curses over how stupid she was for she’s the only
one elated over this and wore this kind of clothes. She tightly holds her skirt
and thinks that in the end, she doesn’t like that guy.. Then, she overhears a
couple of lovers sitting on the bench at the other side of the bushes. They are
lovey-dovey and kiss-kiss♡ The girl tells Shinobu to stop for it is still broad
daylight and it is embarrassing. Shinobu says that it is okay, no one is
watching anyway. Azusa sees the two kissing. Shinobu says, “Ito, I like you.”
Ito tries to tell Shinobu that is enough. [Note: it is presumed that these two
characters are from Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!!] While the hearts are bouncing off
Azusa, she angrily thinks what’s up with these troublesome lovers doing that
during daytime when she is obviously quite depressed. Taking off her shoe,
furious Azusa prepares to throw it at the couple so that they would just be gone.
She is surprised when Mitsuru suddenly grabs her to stop her. While Mitsuru
carries her on his back, Azusa insists that he quickly put her down.
While Ito blushes and puzzled Shinobu watches the two,
Mitsuru angrily tells her to shut up, her foot hurts and yet she still won’t be
humble[/admit defeat]. As her heart beats loudly like a deer, Azusa is blushing
over Mitsuru suddenly carrying her on his back and they are so close to each
other. Mitsuru tells her that he didn’t know what happened between her and
Shino and he also won’t force her to tell him. “But, because I really like
Shino so from today on, I’m also going to protect her. *Azusa felt a sharp pain
in her chest* Don’t cause trouble to Shino again, and in return, I will become
your target [for you to cause trouble with]. Whether you’re angry or jittery,
everything, I will properly face and take it up. Just like today, I will always
accompany you, always until you become happy. *Azusa blushes in surprise*
Honestly, I really had fun today!! *smiles* You’re obviously a girl yet you
were able to be evenly matched with me. It changed my point of view towards
you. I feel that you are a very amazing opponent!!” Azusa suddenly grabs his
neck that Mitsuru asks what’s up with her for trying to strangle him, is she
doing that deliberately. Blushing Azusa says that is right, it’s settled,
stupid. She thinks, “I couldn’t say it. That it is because I suddenly wanted to
hug you tight. This bit, I absolutely couldn’t tell you.” She tries to cover up
her blushing face by holding on more tightly on Mitsuru’s neck. Mitsuru shouts
that it hurts and is she trying to kill him. Azusa mutters that he didn’t have
to tell that to her, for she earlier on, planned not to continue causing
trouble to Shino. Mitsuru didn’t hear this. Azusa thinks that she really hates
Shino but if she hurt her, that would really pain him, right? After complaining
to her to watch it [about the strangling?], Mitsuru says that that she is
heavier than she looks. Embarrassed Azusa says that he’s quite rude and she
isn’t heavy, but rather, it’s because he’s too small. This irks Mitsuru.
Narration: “Ah, I finally understand. Whether it is angry, or pain, but still
able to feel some warmth. Even if I’m quite frustrated but this feeling is
definitely called ‘romantic love’.” Blurb: “Mego and Aoi’s first date will also
[become] all sorts of pink♡ Pink to the max!!”
Comment: Azusa and Mitsuru’s date is quite fun..and competitive. Just
like him, Azusa is unexpectedly quite athletic and she doesn’t want to lose
easily. It is amusing that these two seem more like on a date rather than Mego
and Aoi based on ‘normal standards’ since they are playing around in the arcade
while the other two are just going around shopping for the things that Mego
likes. I find Mitsuru’s ‘push’ quite amusing and would that lead to the pink
stuff mentioned at the blurb for those other two? It does seem that there is
indeed a very ‘dark and deep’ past between Azusa and Shino. That woman seems to
be the same one that traumatized Aoi. I think Azusa is in a ‘difficult’
position but I guess, that arrangement with Mitsuru is okay for her as long as
she gets to spend some time with him even if his heart belongs to someone else
and she can hide her true feelings for him by acting like the ‘villain’ who
wants this keep this kind of agreement. I wonder how Mitsuru will react when he
learns that Azusa actually likes him. Also, I wonder if any of the two couples
would encounter Shino, perhaps with that other guy. Scans by 夜莺工作室
