Hirunaka No Ryuusei
44: After the bus station, the couple was informed that the buses are
grounded because of the snow storm. At the taxi station, the man says the cabs
had already left and it would be quite expensive to go back to Tokyo. Shishio
asks where the café is. The man regrets to tell them that there is no café
because this is a rural area though there is a small inn nearby. While the two
are thinking of ‘inn’, the man says that he doesn’t think the traffic
[/transportation] will resume today. Shishio suggests that they wait for the
snow to stop. After one hour, Susume sneezes out loud. He asks her if she is
alright. She apologizes for it. She thinks that it has been one hour and half,
the snow isn’t stopping. Shishio suggests that they go to the inn. Since she is
looking at him, he explains that if they keep this up, they’ll freeze to death
and don’t worry, he’ll get two rooms. Susume wonders if he is saying that they
will be spending the night there. At the inn, the woman apologizes that there
is only one room left since they are all full. Susume says that they won’t be
staying. Shishio tells her that if they don’t stay, she’ll.. Susume insists
that she is alright and it has definitely stopped snowing outside. She opens
the door and it is still snowing heavily in the ‘silver colored world’. While
Shishio is speechless, the woman asks if they actually have two choices. Soon,
they are led into their room. She narrates the items inside and Shishio just
mutters in agreement. Sticking out his tongue, he tells her that this side is
his territory and it is forbidden for her to trespass. Then, he tells her that
she went pass it. She backs away and apologizes. He says that he is going to
take a bath and she should quickly go, too or else, she’ll catch a cold. He
tells her that they’ll leave early tomorrow morning. There is an incoming call
so Shishio goes out of the room. Susume feels quite nervous for both of them
will be in a single room. She thinks that he is definitely apprehensive about
her and even if a lot of things happened today, this is more natural than when
they are at the shrine. She plans to apologize to him here as an opportunity to
make up with him. She starts sending her uncle an email that she’ll be staying
at Yuyuka’s house. Outside, Yukichi called Shishio to talk about Susume. She
told him that she’ll go out with a friend but she isn’t home yet and it is
snowing hard. He is wondering if Shishio knows where she is. Shishio apologizes
and says that he doesn’t know but even if she didn’t contact him, Susume should
be alright. He suggests that he asks Susume’s classmates. After hanging up the
phone, Shishio looks a bit flustered. Soon, it is already 9:30pm. Waiting by
the table, Susume thinks that Shishio is quite slow and is he like Sizuka
[character from Doraemon implying that Shishio quite meticulous in taking a
bath = slow] Then, she wonders if the futons are too close to each other. While
she is over-thinking about the split territory and the futons, Shishio comes in
and says that she isn’t sleeping yet when it is already late. Susume thinks
that he just came out of the bath and she feels nervous about it. While
berating herself for being too pure, she realizes that this isn’t the time for
this. While Shishio is wondering where to smoke, Susume calls out to him and
apologizes for the disguise, going to a far away place, and riding on separate
trains for she is only thinking that it is quite bad if they were seen by
someone but she didn’t plan on making him angry. Standing up, Shishio says that
it is alright, he isn’t angry at her, he never did, and there’s nothing bad
about her. This surprises Susume. He says that it is time to sleep. Susume
wonders why she isn’t relieved even if he said such kind words. He tells her
that he’ll be closing the lights. She says okay. She notices that he is pulling
his futon away from hers. While he closes the lights and greets her good night,
Susume thinks that he was holding her hand tight but he also let go and he
won’t properly look into her eyes. She concludes that he isn’t acting normal.
She stands behind him and lightly pulls the hem of his sleeve. Feels like
crying, she asks him to please, at least, properly look into her eyes and talk
with her. To her surprise, he suddenly pulls her to him. Comment: So, they are
stranded and now has to stay overnight at the inn together in one room. I guess
Shishio cannot look into her eyes because he felt guilty over lying to her
uncle about her whereabouts. Other than that, he is obviously trying to make
her go to sleep already and keep a bit of distance so that he won’t do anything
rash. It failed since it makes her feel that he has a problem with her and make
her ‘move closer’ to him. I don’t think anything much would happen next..maybe
he’ll snap out of it and they’ll talk or something. I wonder if the others,
aside from Yuyuka, would know about this. Scans by all★wink汉化组
Last Game 21:
Just when Souma is about to touch Kujou’s face, he snaps out of it and slaps
her cheek. Yanagi is surprised and Tachibana is disappointed. Souma claims that
there is a mosquito. Believing him, Kujou thanks him. Souma is surprised when
President calls out to Yanagi about the drinks. Souma pushes Kujou to Yanagi
and says that her prince has arrived. Yanagi asks if he incited Kujou. Souma
replied that he didn’t and Yanagi should quickly take her away since he [Souma]
wants to avoid any relationship with them stupid little married couple.
Surprised Yanagi asks that he obviously come to look for trouble. Souma teases
him if he wants someone to cause trouble and is he an M[asochist]. While Yanagi
shouts that he doesn’t want and he isn’t a M, Souma takes his drink and left.
Souma passes by Tachibana and tells her that he isn’t going to fulfill her
wish. Tachibana offers to help him out that Souma calls her meddlesome and he
doesn’t want have anything to do with a girl like her. While the two angrily
smiles and trade barbs at each other, Fujimoto calls out to them that it is
time to eat lunch. During lunch, Kujou made Japanese style bento while
Tachibana made Western style bento. When Fujimoto asks if she is more into
Japanese cuisine, Kujou tells them that she is okay with Western but thinking
of balance diet, she leans more on Japanese. Tachibana tries to get their
attention by hinting that ‘poor her’, she only knows Western food and hasn’t
thought of balance diet. The intention is make them praise her by saying ‘not
really’ just like the President’s reaction but instead, Kujou sincerely
suggests that she adds more vegetables for fiber. This made Tachibana just
timidly says yes for Kujou unconsciously thwart her intention. Shiori thinks
that these two girls are complete opposites. Then, Yanagi’s phone is ringing.
After being asked why he isn’t answering, Yanagi complains about that his
sister just wants him to accompany her in seeing some new ARKINN [economy type
wine shop] product which is annoying. Kujou asks if it is some brand new potato
[May Queen potato that sounds like Arkinn]. Yanagi is surprised that she
suddenly talked about potatoes. Tachibana starts praising him over this invitation
but Yanagi thinks it is a waste of time with his sister. After talking with
Tachibana, Yanagi notices that Kujou is nibbling on her onigiri. He wonders if
she always eats quite few like that and if she isn’t feeling well. Next, the
president wants them to go to the arcade. After showing off his skills, he
wants to play a shooting game with Souma who declines for he doesn’t want to do
something where he won’t win. It turns out that president just wants to show
off to Tachibana. Since it is Kujou’s first time in an arcade, Yanagi teaches
her to play whack-a-mole and got 99 points. To Yanagi’s shock, Kujou won by 100
points. Not wanting to lose, Yanagi wants to do it again. As the two argue over
who’ll play, Tachibana is scowling. In the end, Yanagi lost. Just as Fujimoto
says that they go somewhere else, Kujou sees Tachibana giving some tea to
Yanagi. Kujou is watching them when a girl accidentally bumps into her. Kujou
manages to save the three scoops of ice cream cone from falling on the ground
for the girl. Kujou thinks that she is a bit absent-minded lately. Then, she
realizes that the others are gone. Yanagi asks the others where Kujou is. He
and Fujimoto realize that she is lost. While Fujimoto panics, Yanagi calls
Kujou on her cellphone. Kujou says that she is at the Ferris Wheel. Looking at
the map, Fujimoto says that is quite far away. Yanagi tells Kujou to wait there
and he’ll fetch her. Kujou tells him that there’s no need to specially come and
get her, they just meet up again later on so they can go ahead and have fun.
Yanagi tells the others that Kujou said that she’ll come to them later on so
they shouldn’t mind her and just meet at the central plaza.
As Fujimoto decides what to do next, Yanagi feels that Kujou
is acting a bit strange. He tells Tachibana to tell the others that he’s going
to Kujou. Tachibana shouts for him to wait, why he is nice to Kujou up to this
extent when they are not at all in one [same] world. Even if one is to talk
about her living condition, it isn’t quite good so in short, they aren’t
well-matched, doesn’t he think so? Yanagi smiles and replies that ever since 10
years ago, he always wanted to chase after her as if his life depended on it.
He apologizes and left. Tachibana grinds her teeth and says that she
fundamentally doesn’t understand what he meant. Kujou is sitting on a bench
since she is a bit tired after some walking. Looking at the happy people around
her, she finds it weird for what is this feeling and she wonders if it is
because she wandered off from the others. She recalls Yanagi with Tachibana and
feels quite lonely. She is surprised when Yanagi lightly knocks on her head and
calls out to her. As she tries to tell him that this isn’t the meeting place,
Yanagi says that is right but he always see her quite listless so he is a bit
bothered by it. She stares at him that Yanagi thinks that there is something
strange. He suggests that they ride the Ferris Wheel. In the Ferris Wheel,
Yanagi couldn’t believe that his greatest goal for today actually came true –
the two of them alone in the Ferris Wheel. Yanagi asks if she isn’t feeling
well. Noticing that fretful uneasy feeling is gone, Kujou tells him that she is
okay, and she feels a bit happy. Yanagi says is that so. He starts to wonder if
he was mistaken about it. She tells him that it feels as if it has been a long
time since the two of them are together like this. He touches her hand. They
look at each other. And, to his dismay, she asks if he is scared of heights.
While Yanagi tries to protest, she tells him that it is alright, she isn’t
afraid of heights and he shouldn’t mind since he also held her hand at the
roller coaster. Holding his hand tight, she says, “I’ll stay by your side.”
Yanagi is quite speechless and lets her be. She thinks that this thought of
wanting to be with him could perhaps just be just her willfulness. Yanagi is
quite happy that he somehow had fallen into a lure where they can hold hands
without any misgivings. Kujou wonders if this is okay and is it indecent. After
meeting up with the others, Kujou excuses herself to go to the toilet. Inside,
after Kujou exchange greetings with Tachibana, Tachibana looks at Kujou and
recalls Yanagi’s comment of always chasing after Kujou. Tachibana mutters that
it makes no sense to her. Kujou asks, huh so surprised Tachibana says that it
is nothing. And, the contents of Tachibana’s bag accidentally spilled down.
Kujou helps her pick the things up and she notices a picture. It is a picture
of a girl and a fat girl. The words on the picture say 3rd year Junior High,
highest record of 78 kg, never forget this shame, and concentrate in going back
into shape. Horrified Tachibana grabs the picture back and threatens Kujou not
to tell anyone about it or else, she’ll beat her to death. She runs out and
exclaims she couldn’t believe it. Kujou looks puzzled and wonders if that was
just a hallucination. Comment: Kujou is still getting acquainted with these
feelings of ‘love’ and ‘jealousy’. And, Yanagi is satisfied with whatever he
can get away with her ^^ Apparently Souma has backed away again and stopped
himself before he gets himself too involved. Tachibana doesn’t seem to want to
give up yet but now that Kujou had unwittingly know her ‘secret’, I wonder if
this makes Tachibana back off a bit. She might be scared of the others knowing
it since Kujou can innocently do things contrary to what is expected. From that
scene, it does seem that Yanagi has already rejected Tachibana. Scans by 红莲汉化组
