She starts to tell him what’s popular, if his girlfriend likes
cute types, and how about earrings if she has ear piercing. She asks him what
kind of person is his girlfriend, is she cute, beautiful? Blushing Kawasumi
nods. This made the saleslady squeal over that. Later on, Ryossuke joins up
with Kawasumi and sees him holding a small bag. Ryousuke asks if he’s finished
shopping. Kawasumi says yes. Ryousuke asks when he is going to give it to her.
He says, March 3rd. Ryousuke asks if they don’t have club activity on that
week. Kawasumi calls out to Ryousuke. And, it’s morning. Suiren wakes up and
goes out her room to be greeted by her mother a happy birthday. Suiren is now
16 years old. Suiren tells her mother that today, Aya and the others would come
for a birthday party. Her mother didn’t reply. Then, she goes to the table
where Suiren is and asks if Kawasumi is also coming. Suiren timidly says that
he has club activity. Her mother says is that so. She quickly returns to the
kitchen. While her mother is carrying the laundry, Suiren tells her mother that
she is currently going steady with Kawasumi. This made her mother blush and
look delighted. She says, okay but first, temporarily keep this a secret from
papa. Suiren nods then starts to eat her breakfast. Her mother looks quite
happy. At school, Yuri happily greets Suiren and Aya. Yuri happily glomps
Suiren who smiles back at her friends. They study. During a class break,
excited Yuri is twirling around the curtain which somewhat puzzles Suiren and
Aya. Soon, they are having lunch on the rooftop. Suiren stops eating her
melonpan and looks out from the roof to see Kawasumi and Ryousuke jogging
below. After Suiren joins her friends again, Yuri asks what Kawasumi is doing
and it cannot be helped since he has club activity. She suddenly stands up and
pulls Aya that they go buy some strawberry roll for Suiren.
After her friends left, Suiren is looking down from the roof
again. She is surprised when someone is knocking on the door. She quickly hides
at the side and sees that it is Kawasumi. So, she goes to him. Flashback:
Kawasumi asked Ryousuke if he can borrow his cellphone. Ryousuke is looking at
who he is going to call so Kawasumi walks further away from him. Ryousuke
shouted what it is, and whom he is going to call. Kawasumi asked if he knows Yuri’s
number. After work, Yuri noticed that someone called her cellphone. She called
back and asked Ryousuke if he called him. Then, Yuri looked surprised and
blushed. Kawasumi requested that on Monday, March 3rd, during lunch break, can
she let the two of them be alone together. Kawasumi is startled when Yuri
exclaims OK♡
Ryosuke wondered what that ok is about. End flashback Meanwhile, Yuri and Aya
buys food from the canteen. On the way back, Yuri says that in the end, it is
no good to wait until the club activity to end before going [to give the gift].
She scolds Aya for saying that Kawasumi doesn’t have the guts to skip club
activity. At the rooftop, Kawasumi takes out the gift from his pocket. Holding
his gift to her, he greets her a happy birthday. Looking away, he says that
maybe it is very strange. Holding the gift, Suiren thinks that they are alone
at the rooftop and it has been such a long time since this happened. She is
saying that right now, Aya and Yuri went to buy something.. She stops and
thinks, “--..Could it be” Kawasumi admits that he asked them to. After
recalling being alone together before, she asks if she can open the gift. He
says yes. It is a necklace with a butterfly pendant. Wondering what he is
thinking that they are now alone together, she blushes and thanks him. He
exclaims in acknowledgement.
Comment: Nice
chapter about Kawasumi slightly being proactive and well, being open-minded
about Atohira’s suggestion. Kawasumi doesn’t seem the type to easily listen to
others’ advice. Hehe, apparently, he wants to avoid having the same type of gift
as Ryousuke’s. ^^; Based on his reaction to the cute stuff toy/mascot things,
he is a ‘guy who doesn’t understand what’s cute about that stuff’. It is nice
though how he made it a little surprise to give the gift earlier with the help
of her friends. As usual, for Aya, it isn’t quite enough. Also, it’s quite nice
that Suiren told her mother about Kawasumi. It seems that her father would be
in the defensive if he knew so they are keeping it a secret for a while. I
wonder if Kawasumi can still make it to the party somehow or that’s it for her
birthday. Scans by all★wink汉化组

Such a lovely chapter! I was squealing the whole time. Thank you so much for the summary :D
ReplyDeleteYup, and thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteThis is so cute I can't even <3 I love how it was a butterfly necklace, instead of a flower (Takane no hana) Like Koharu said that she's a butterfly 'cuz she can go anywhere and Suiren wanted to be a butterfly my heart just can't!! FEEELSSSS. -ehem- sorry xD
ReplyDeleteThank you for the summary! :D
By the way, just wondering, do you think Suiren is older than Kawasumi? I don't remember anything about any other birthdays, so I was just curious o:
Yup, Michelle ^-^ Though I thought it is because of the title. ^^;
DeleteThanks for reading ^-^
It seems so..since she's the one who had a birthday first after the New Year. ^^
