Rino exclaims in surprise that Ren darkly mutters that she’s
extremely startled. Rino quietly wonders if Ren has seen through everything,
and it feels very natural but that expression, in the end, he’s angry, right.
Slightly pulling up her mask, Rino starts to say something when Ren asks if she
won’t wear a cheongsam, and that’s really too bad. Rino blushes and thinks that
he’s talking about that again. She tells herself this is bad for she’ll feel
very happy about that.. Some fangirls ask Ren if they can take a picture
together with him. Rino is surprised when Ren obliges. Rino is flustered for it
turns out that he didn’t decline. Looking at smiling Ren, Rino thinks that he
obviously told her such profound meaning words but he would also do two
contradictory things.. After the fangirls thank Ren and left, Rino mutters that
he’s quite popular. Rino thinks that it seems like she’s being sarcastic and it
seems like this is.. Ren slightly smiles and Rino suddenly blushes. Mask on.
Rino apologizes for not showing up yesterday but isn’t he happy to stroll
together with that girl. Rino laughs and says that she also very happy to see
all sorts of things. Ren asks her what this is all of a sudden. “About
yesterday, it doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t mind it. It is still school festival
today.” Rino is aghast and nervous. She suddenly stands up and says that she
has to leave for a while. Ren glumly asks if she wants to run away again.
Removing her mask, blushing Rino denies that she’s running away, she is just
going to the toilet. Ren just looks on as Rino runs off. She thinks that she
cannot have anything to do with Ren anymore and why did she say those kinds of
words. In the toilet, she and Chihiro sigh simultaneously. They look at each
other then, Chihiro backs away and exclaims in fright. Rino removes the mask
and tells her that it’s her. Chihiro tells Rino not to be like that for she
thought her heart stopped. Rino apologizes and says that Chihiro is
unexpectedly a coward. Chihiro asks isn’t Rino also like that. Rino is surprised
by that and mutters that it seems that she was struck from a different layer by
that. [<- something like that is a bull’s eye even if that Chihiro’s
‘coward’ meant differently = scared of ghosts] She tells puzzled Chihiro that
it is nothing, and is she going to stroll around together with Shou afterwards,
and then, she’ll give the night festival’s flower to her boyfriend, right?
Looking at the side, Chihiro glumly says hm..ah..ya.. This made Rino think that
Chihiro probably doesn’t want to mention that. Chihiro immediately changes the
topic by asking compared to her, in the end, Rino is going to give the flower
to Kiri..
Flustered Rino shouts about that, she’s the committee member
[<- busy] so who knows about that. The girls look at each other. Then, Chihiro
says that until the time to say it, definitely properly say it out. Rino says
that she’ll do that. They separate ways after heading out the toilet. Rino
thinks that on the night festival, the exchange of flowers is originally, a
tradition wherein the school badge with the engraving of Chinese bellflower
[/balloon flower] is given to the family, friend or teacher, etc in order to
convey gratitude but right now, it is an activity to confess to someone one
likes. She hates it a bit that Ren would absolutely be getting that from
different girls. “So strange for me to unexpectedly be jealous when I’m
obviously afraid of getting close to him. I won’t want to encounter that kind
of memory again, yet even if I think that way..” She is startled when someone
calls out, “Yoshino!” Looking scared, Rino turns around to find a girl telling
a certain Yoshino for being late. Rino nervously mutters what.. She recalls the
memory when her crush asked if she isn’t ashamed of that [scar]. While Shou is
calling for the next group to go in the haunted house and to be careful since
it is dark, Ren looks at the side and says that Rino really came back. Rino
says of course, she only went to the toilet. Yuuto calls out to Rino. Rino
realizes that Ren is behind her that she quickly grabs Yuuto and drags puzzled
Yuuto away. Somewhere, Yuuto asks what’s up with her, does she plan to stand him
up again today, and doesn’t she want to stroll around with that guy. Rino
apologizes. Flustered Yuuto says that for her to apologize, it means that she
wants to stroll with that guy. Rino says that she plans to stroll by herself.
She apologizes to him for making him worried but she is already alright so
there’s no need for him to be concerned and that thing before is because Yuuto
is always worried about her, right, but it is already gone.. Yuuto exclaims,
“No, I..” Ren appears behind them and says that he knows why she doesn’t want
to stroll around with him, and does she need him to say it, the reason. Rino
thinks that it is because she likes Ren so she’s afraid--.. Yuuto is surprised
when Rino shouts, no..please don’t say it.. Narration: “And, in the end, it
turns out like this..” While holding some food, Rino is walking together with
Ren around school. Ren asks if she wants to sit there since there is an empty
space there. Rino just mutters okay.
While munching on what seem to be churros, Rino nervously
wonders what should she do for she has nothing to say and she only wanted to
just eat and muddle through this. She thinks that today’s Ren always felt very
scary that she couldn’t look see through him but even in this kind of
situation, the two of them are alone and somewhere in her heart, she felt very
happy. She is startled when smiling Ren asks her if she wants to eat
this..[sandwich] and this is the school festival’s limited edition. Rino
happily says okay, it looks very delicious. She freezes and thinks that
compared to being charming, her gluttony wins. She nervously says that it seems
that she is being considered [/can be a candidate] for competitive eating. Ren
asks is that so. Flustered Rino says that isn’t right. Rino suddenly realizes
that she should instead do things wrong and eat like a complete mess to make
Ren disappointed so that way, school life would go back as it used to be. Rino
energetically tells Ren that she’ll eat it. Ren tells her that she shouldn’t
mind it at all. With a smile, Ren says that he likes good kids who loves to eat.
Aghast Rino think that it is some superpower and she couldn’t win against this
guy. Nevertheless, she is betting on eating it messily, and even if it is Ren,
he’ll.. She tries to grab the sandwich again but Ren pulls it away from her
grasp. He asks her what she thinks of him, and he’ll give it to her after she
tells him. Rino is flustered upon seeing how serious Ren looks. Ren tells her
to tell him. Rino thinks that he obviously knew but he wanted her to say it
out..he actually already sensed it. She pulls down her mask and says, “No.. No
Comment..” Ren pulls up her mask and holds her chin. Ren asks her why she
is running away from him. “If you hate me, please, Sakuragi-chan, personally
tell me about it. This way, I won’t do this kind of thing again. I’ll give up.”
Rino mutters, “I.. I..” Rino didn’t continue since she thinks that if she said
it out, it will be over. She pulls away from him and shouts for him to let her
go. She loses her balance and falls into a huge box. Embarrassed Rino wonders
what she is doing at this time and she’s so cunning. She covers her face for
she feels like crying. Just when Ren is asking her if she is alright, he stops
midway. Rino realizes that he can see her scar. Rino quickly sits up and covers
it with her arms. Pause. Forcing herself to smile, Rino says that he has seen
it, he must be intimidated by it for people who had seen it for the first time
are basically very shocked..(so she doesn’t want him to see it) and it seems
that the person she used to like said some harsh words.. Rino starts to cry and
thinks no, she actually do not want Ren to see it because no matter what, her coward
self would be hurt. She is surprised when Ren tells her to wait, sorry.. And,
he suddenly grabs her lower thigh and pulls it up. Embarrassed Rino shouts
no..don’t..
While Rino is covering her face, Ren looks at the scar and
asks if this is the reason why she is running away from him and that is why she
can’t. Looking straight at her, Ren says that he doesn’t accept that and even
if he doesn’t know what that guy told her, but it turns out that she would
actually think that he is on the same level as that guy. “It’s quite
disappointing.” Flustered Rino apologizes to him. She thinks that it is no
good, like this, Ren would also.. He tells her that she probably ought to
surrender because right now, she is definitely thinking this is already no good
[= she couldn’t deny that she likes him] and even if she would, it would
disappoint him more. Ren smiles and says, “Hm?” Rino looks away and says that
he’s truly very forceful. Ren tells her that it is because the other party is a
certain someone. After he pulls her up from the box, there was an announcement
that for the different classes’ committee members to assemble at the first
floor’s meeting room by 17 o’ clock for the preparations for the night
festival. Then, Ren says that he’ll give it to her now. It is three flowers
tied with a ribbon. Taking the flowers, Rino says that this is.. Ren says that
the committee members would be busy during the flower exchange and he might
miss the opportunity to give it to her. He apologizes that it isn’t fresh flowers
but he thinks that it is better if she can keep them. Blushing Rino thanks him.
Ren says that he doesn’t anticipate waiting for hers [flower/badge]. Rino
sweatdrops. Noticing something, Rino exclaims that these are daisies, not
Chinese bellflowers. She asks him what it means. Smiling Ren tells her to
research about it by herself. [I googled it and in Japan, it meant faith.] This
irritates Rino. She pouts and mutters ‘meanine’. Ren has a glum expression.
With wide-eyes and a smile, Ren faces her and asks, “But you really like,
right? I know.” Rino is surprised by that. While feeling frustrated, she admits
yes, possibly! Narration: “Very forceful, a bit mischievous but [he’s] the most
important person [to me], [I] have the same feelings with you.” Blurb: “Next
chapter back to Chihiro x Hinase arc.”
Comment: And, Ren
finally knows the reason why Rino is hesitating when she obviously also likes
him. The scar obviously wasn’t a big deal to him. And I pretty much sweatdrop
when he pulled up her leg. Lucky for him, he didn’t get slapped for that. ^^;
Ren seems like a smiling sadist...hm, somewhat like a side of Skip Beat!’s Ren’
wherein he would confront the girl and is obviously not happy/angry but he
would keep on smiling. He also reads through the girl and that can actually be
quite scary. It is evident in some of the scenes here like she plans to eat
like a pig to turn him off but he seems to know it and confronted her instead
if she likes him or not. I guess things are now starting for the two. Ren’s
smile in the last scene seems like a confident cat that just caught and ate the
bird. ^^; Of course, the poor guy here is Yuuto being caught up in that.
Anyway, I like it when a guy is proactive in love/guy likes girl very much. So,
aside from his persistent pursuit of Rino, he went ahead and prepared the flowers
for exchange even if he wasn’t sure of this outcome. ^-^ And, the guys in military
uniform are really gorgeous and hot ^-^ It’s great that they have a very good
dressmaker/s in their class. Hehe, they must be fangirls though that is
probably fanservice ^^ I also like the ‘ghost combo concept’ between
Shou-Chihiro = Shou attracts the customers who are most likely girls, and his
girlfriend scares their head off in the haunted house. =P Based on Rino’s
meeting with her, Chihiro seems to be having some problems that she didn’t
blush or any positive reaction when the flower exchange was mentioned. I guess
we’ll know what happened is in the next chapter. Scans by Link同好会汉化

FINALLY Rino and Ren know each others' feelings! Thanks for the summary <3 Tika
ReplyDeleteYup, and thanks for reading, Tika ^-^
Deleteohhh... so this is the next chapter Ms. Kat... so happy to have read this.. ^^
ReplyDeletethat Military Uniforms are sexy on the lead men, specially we know they do Kendo so they have good body structure..hehehe plus i really like dark-haired leads.. Ren!!! I'm so impress on how he reads what Rino is supposed to be thinking or planning and always finds Rino when she hides and really tries to run away.. ohhh.. so happy.. but i'm a bit lonely with Rino thinking like that of herself.. wake up girl! you should be happy too.. i hope she pursue that feeling of happiness with Ren.. <3<3<3
Well, there isn't much with that walk, but i really like how Ren gets too close to Rino's face whenever Rino wants to run away.. hehehe.. ohh and how i'd love it if Rino had fell with Ren it that scene.. ohhh, so romantic.. <3<3<3
And so there's the confession, with Ren giving that "flower thing badge" to Rino. and Rino somewhat admitting she likes Ren with that facial expressions..well, thanks to Ren being cunning and persistent. I kind of remembered Sho from Namaikizakari.. ^^
This ain't super romantic but at least their "relationship" is now "starting".. yippeee.. i wonder how Rino will give that flower badge to Ren? what will happen to them at the night festival? how will they progress after the festival? although next chapter will be back to ShoxChihiro couple, i hope there will still be some bits-parts of RenxRino moments like before.. Thank you very much Ms Kat.. awaiting for your outstanding summaries again.. (waiting for Namaikizakari, HnR, Sleeping Beauty too..hehe.. -^0^-)
Yup, they really look sexy there ^-^ That's right..and if thought negatively, that can be quite scary - Ren to really know her =P Yup, it was such a trauma for her what her first crush said. Well, since Ren easily accepted it after seeing the scar, maybe it would boost her confidence ^^
DeleteYa, mostly Rino eating. Yup..Ren's persistence and cunning is finally rewarded. That's right, they are somewhat the same in that aspect.
That's right..it's starting. Hm..maybe as you've mentioned, a bit of parts ^^
Thanks for reading and the comment ^-^ About HnR, someone else is already working on that by writing translations [http://bxsmanga.tumblr.com/] so I only limit it to comments about the series.
ohh.. is that so? well, thank you for the tips Ms. Kat.. and thank you very much for all the efforts you made summarizing HnR until then.. your comments are cool too.. ;-)
