Keita is surprised to see her teary-eyed. He scowls and asks
what about their feelings. Just before Himari is about to say something, Keita
tells her that is already enough, he understands. He turns around and goes to
his room. Himari goes to her own room and starts crying that it is because it
is truly out of the question [for them to be together]. The scene changes to
dinner. Keiko looks at the clock and it is already 9:07pm. She wonders how come
Keita comes home late since the start of the school’s second term. She asks
Himari if she knows something. Himari didn’t answer. So, they continue on their
lives with Himari always looking at Keita even obviously she wants to forget
and not meet him. Then, they meet each other on the stairs at home. Himari is
flustered for it has been a long time since they directly meet but to her
shock, Keita ignores her and walks past her. Himari is hurt even if obviously,
she was the one who decided it by herself. Soon, class 1-2 is noisy because
they are now going to prepare for the cultural festival this month. They need
two committee members then, the teacher is going to talk with the ones who got
chosen. The students do not want to do it because it is troublesome and the
others have club activity so it is impossible. Noticing that no one wants to be
a committee member, Himari thinks that lately, Keita doesn’t go home much and while
staying home, she doesn’t feel good seeing their parents so how about trying to
be a committee member. She raises her hand and volunteers by saying that she
doesn’t have club activity so she has free time. While some girls are surprised
by this, the teacher asks for a male volunteer. Raising his hand, Ryou says that
he’ll do it. The teacher cheers him on since he ought to be busy with soccer
club. As Ryou and Himari stand in front of the class and the teacher is saying
some things. Himari couldn’t believe that she’ll be with Ryou and she doesn’t
want scowling Keita [who is sitting at the back of class] to see this kind of
scene. While Ryou smiles at tense Himari, she thinks that obviously she doesn’t
want things to become like this..
Comment: And,
Himari chose her parents’ happiness = family, rather than her romantic feelings
for Keita. Unlike Keita’s treatment with his father, Himari really loves her
mother and is very grateful for how she single-handedly brought her up after
her father passed away. So, she would want her mother to be happy this time
around. That decision is pretty much a rejection so Keita is ignoring her and
stays out of the house as much as possible. Given his trauma regarding his
mother, he is handling that well..for now. Of course, a total snub is also
hurting Himari and she still has feelings for him. Well, that rejection gives
Ryou an opportunity. Ryou is becoming proactive now. It might also give Himari
a good excuse to forget about her feelings for Keita. Now, how will Keita react
to this? Unless he still wants Himari, he cannot exactly keep on ignoring her
and do what he is currently doing after the rejection. Will it lead to a full
blown love triangle battle for Himari? =P Scans by all★wink汉化组

ReplyDeleteThanks again Kat!
Thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteI'm sure they will..based on the colored pages of them together.
Thank you very much!!! I loved your translation ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Kat! It's funny how she broke things off to avoid making things uncomfortable at home, but now she can't face her parents anyway. There is really nothing more Keita can do at this point so I don't see a competition between Ryou and him for her attention happening. Keita can't go back to being her "brother" and he can't push her for a relationship so there is no way for him to actually compete. Although a bit childish, distancing himself is really the only option, leaving Ryou an opening for his second chance. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. - RC
