Hirunaka No Ryuusei
43: [Ah, this is a browse series so I didn’t intently read the past
chapters. Since it seems to be going to the ‘fun’ part, I thought of
summarizing this especially since the scanlation group is getting more active in
their updates for this.] Uncle Yukichi prepares to go out for a New Year
meeting and tells Susume that he left the New Year card at the stove. Susume
tells him to take care. It is a letter from her mother who greeted her a New Year
and belated happy birthday. Her mother would be coming back to the country to
do some things and she will bring a gift to Susume so she anticipates their meeting
each other again. Susume is glad that her parents are doing well. She recalls
the so many things that had happened since she arrived in Tokyo which she wants
to tell her mother. Then, she wonders what Shishio is doing. At the bar,
Shishio got a long email from Susume asking what he did during New Year, did he
eat soba, etc, and did he go to the hatsumode [first shrine visit]. Shishio
replies back with answers to her questions and mentions that he hasn’t gone
hatsumode yet. So, Susume invites him that they go together. Shishio agrees.
Susume is quite happy about this and informs Yuyuka about it. After learning
that it is with Shishio, Yuyuka suggests that they go to a different temple rather
than the one they went before or else, they might be seen by people from school
or bumping into Mamura. Realizing that she shouldn’t be too happy and forgot
the important thing, Susume takes her advice and informs Shishio that they go
to some far away shrine. At the station, Susume had disguised herself though
she wonders if Shishio would recognize her. It turns out that he easily did.
Susume tells him that the disguise is because of hay fever. When they are
boarding the train, she changed it into flu so in order for him not to get
infected, they have to ride the train separately. She tells him that they just
meet at the place. Shishio sighs over this. While riding, Susume is worried
about bumping into someone. She recalls that even if they went to the aquarium
before and their feeling are not connected but now, she has something that she
wants to cherish. She recalls Mamura telling her that it is a bit unlike her.
She bumps her head on the train and tells herself not to mind that. At the shrine,
Shishio comments that it is so cold, would it snow. He looks back to see Susume
hiding behind the tree. He asks her what’s with this distance as if she’s some
stalker. She says not to mind it. He takes her hand and walks together with
her. She tries to protest but he tells her that thing which is a bit unlike her,
it is alright for her not to do that. He asks her if he is the reason for her
to do the things that is unlikely of her. He lets go of her hand and says that
it is nothing, they should go ahead. Susume wonders about this ‘unlike her’,
and what is [more] ‘like her’. After saying their prayers, Susume asks him what
they would do next like some other shrine activities. Shishio says no, they
should go home because the weather is bad and there would be a lot of people on
the train back. He asks if it is okay that they ride in separate trains. She
says okay. As he walks ahead and says that they should go, Susume thinks that
he is angry and even if she is slow-witted, but she knows this kind of thing.
She felt like crying and wonders what to do. She had thought of it properly but
this is the only thing[/way] she thought of, and even if she carried it out, there
is something a bit wrong. His back seems far away and could it be that she’s
the only one who thought that the distance has been cut down[/became short]. She
looks up and is surprised that it is snowing. She says that it is the first
snow. Also looking up, Shishio says that no wonder it is so cold. This somewhat
cheers Susume up as she thinks that perhaps not everything today is going
badly. Fifteen minutes later, the two couldn’t believe that the trains are
suspended because of the sudden blizzard. Comment:
Hehe, so they are stranded ^^ Being alone in some far place and probably
overnight..something ought to happen. ^^ I guess this is a bit of problem
regarding ‘changing/adapting oneself’ for the person she loves since for both
guys, they view it negatively because Susume is no longer supposedly acting
like herself. Now, it does make one wonder if this ‘changing/adapting’ is
changing their view about her and it seems that Shishio is feeling guilty about
it. Anyway, hopefully, they talk and somewhat fix this issue in the upcoming
chapters. Scans by all★wink汉化组
Kedamono Kareshi 12: While Himari is dizzy over being found out,
Reimi asks her what she likes about Keita that she started going steady with
him. Himari tries to think but she cannot think of anything but him bullying
her. Since Keita is darkly staring at her, Himari tells her that he protected
her from the crowd at the train and other times he is nice. Keita smiles over
this and starts laughing. Flustered Reimi says that from the start of seeing
them together and how Himari answers the questions, she doesn’t feel at all
that Himari likes Keita. Himari becomes nervous again. To prove that they are
sincerely going steady, Keita kisses Himari. Reimi and others are shock. Himari
pushes him away but Keita puts his arm around her. Keita tells Reimi that his
heart only has this girl so please don’t contact him again. Reimi quickly
leaves. Just when Keita is saying how annoying Reimi is, he was shock to see
Himari crying. Taking off his arm from her, he asks why she is crying when it
is simply just a kiss. Himari tearfully says that it is because for him it is
‘simply’ like that but it isn’t for her because it is her dream. Keita says
that it is no big deal and wasn’t she supposed to listen to everything what he
wants for the whole day. Himari cries even more for it was already the second
kiss. Flustered Keita hesitantly wipes her tears and apologizes so don’t cry
anymore. Himari sobs that she obviously wants to be kissed by the person she
likes. Keita asks if she is referring to Ryou. Keita harshly reminds her that
she is already been dumped by Ryou even if Ryou kind of beat around the bush in
order not to hurt her but Ryou simply doesn’t like her so why don’t she wake up
already. In disbelief, Himari says that Ryou didn’t say that. Keita shouts if
she still does’t get it and he is being good-hearted in waking her up. This
made Himari quickly run off and leave him. And, while she is walking in the train
station, she passes by Ryou who looks back and wonders if it was Himari. At
school, Ryou greets Himari but she is quite bothered by what Keita told her so
she couldn’t greet back. Ryou asks her if she was at the train station
yesterday around mid-noon for there was someone who looks like her even if it
isn’t the same how she usually is, so he could be mistaken. Himari apologizes
and left saying that she has to go to a friend. This surprises Ryou. Watching
this, Keita looks flustered. Ryou continues to try to talk with Himari but she
kept on avoiding him. She has grown to fear talking with Ryou after hearing
what Keita said yesterday. Suddenly, Ryou grabs her arm and says that she has
been avoiding him today so could it be that she has done something bad to her.
Himari shakes her head. Ryou asks then why, or did something happen, and can
she tell him about it. In the meantime, Reimi has arrived at their school. Comment: Reimi is indeed very sharp and
persistent. If she does cause trouble in the next chapter, I hope it is only
towards Keita. Himari has a lot of hardships already and being ‘pushed around’
from most of the characters in this series that I hope the mangaka gives her a
break. As for the Ryou thing, I’m really not sure if something will happen between
Himari and him since Keita is the lead guy. Scans by all★wink汉化组
