Narration: “Even if we were only
separated for a day, but it seems that we haven’t met for a number of days. I
always, always want to see Aoi-kun.” Thinking that she finally returned to his
side, Mego tearfully tells him that she’s back. Aoi touches her face and tells
her to let him see her face. Saying okay, she pulls herself up from him and
smiles. Then, he hugs her tightly again. Mego warns him to let go or else, his
situation would become bad. While breathing hard, Aoi says that he won’t. He
sits up and continues to hold her. He tells her that there was never a day like
today, when he’s quite upset that he cannot hold her [like this]. Mego blushes
over this. She notices that Aoi kept on trembling and she really caused him to
worry a lot about her. Holding him tight, she mentally apologizes for
obviously, she knew that she must quickly maintain their distance but she also
couldn’t make her hand let go of him. “It would be nice if this moment would be
still forever in time.” Mego apologizes to Aoi for it is her fault for making
Chiharu find out about his secret so to make Chiharu keep it a secret, she..
Aoi asks if Chiharu knew the secret. He scolds startled Mego for being stupid.
Thinking that he’s angry, Mego apologizes for causing him trouble but she
already make it clear with Chiharu for him not to say it out. Aoi shouts for
her not to do it for THAT KIND OF THING and disregard her own safety. “It
basically doesn’t matter whether my weakness is exposed or not. Anyway, if
something were to happen to you--..” He notices that Mego is crying that he
wonders if he said it quite harshly. He starts to apologizes for being too
mean.. Blushing Mego wipes her tears and tells him, no, these are tears of
‘joy’. She tells him to be a bit mean to her and scold her more for being
stupid because for him to be angry just now is proof that he loves her. This
made Aoi blush. Mego thinks that his ‘stupid’ has the same meaning with
‘like[/love]’ and ‘for me, you are very important’. He holds her and repeatedly
calls her stupid as she says ‘yes’ every time he says it. Narration: “After a
few minutes, Aoi-kun finally reached his limit. In the end, he still lost consciousness
and fell asleep. Even if it is like that, he still tightly held my hand and not
letting it go.”
Meanwhile at Tokugawa residence,
Azusa is blushing and her heart is going dokidoki. She is holding a cleaver and
a partially peeled potato[?]. The house staff is wondering if it will be
alright for it seems that their ojousama said that she is going to make the
bento [/lunch] box by herself when she obviously hasn’t held the cleaver
before. And, Azusa shouts that it hurts. This made them call out to her and let
them do the preparation for the cooking. She tells them that there’s no need
for she wants to do it on her own and if someone else did it, then it doesn’t
have any meaning. Narration: “Right now, we still haven’t caught the disgusting
culprit. Because of this, Kobayashi Mitsuru always disguised as a girl and
infiltrated the school to protect me at my side. It is impossible for me to
frankly and directly say out this ‘Until now, I’m truly thankful to you’-type of
words so at least, I’m going to make something that can express that up to that
degree..” At school, Mitsuru is really excited for it is lunch time. He wonders
what he would be eating today since there is a lot of delicious stuff at the
snack counter. To his shock, he forgot his wallet and could it be that he’ll go
off hungry at noon. Shino arrives and offers him a juice drink. Mitsuru thanks
her using sign language and offers to treat her to orange juice next time.
Flustered Mitsuru thinks that it has been half a year since he talked alone
with Shino. While sitting on the bench, Mitsuru tells her that he heard that
she joined the literature arts club, and that, she is about to eat together
with her club friends. Shino nods in agreement. Mitsuru is relieved that he can
talk normally with Shino. He observes that Shino became beautiful again and she
definitely got a lot of friends that increased her self-confidence. He thinks
that perhaps, she had smoothly talked about love [with them]. He believes that
there is always some cowardly place in his heart that, if he was to meet Shino
again, it will bring up the affection that still lingers. “But, it is already
alright because right now, my heart is calm and I’m happy for Shino-chan’s
happiness from my heart. It’s really great.” Doki doki♡♡. Nervous♡♡. Holding
two bento boxes, Azusa has spent the whole night making the food. She wonders
if Mitsuru would be happy upon getting her bento. She holds out the bento and
practices her line, ‘I only did this casually, that’s all. It won’t hurt for you
to taste it, right?”
She hears some laughing sounds that
she looks at the side and sees Mitsuru with Shino. Her heart hurts as she hides
behind the tree. Mitsuru thanks Shino for the bread that ojisan [older man] at
the snack counter gave her. He thanks her since he’ll have something for
today’s lunch. Azusa felt sad and hurt. On the verge of tears, she mutters
that’s right, compared to getting something that she made, Mitsuru would be
more happy receiving a gift from Shino. The bell is ringing. Running at the
hallway, Mitsuru calls out to Azusa and exclaims that he finally found her.
Mitsuru asks where she was during lunch break that he was looking for her for
quite a while. He reminds her that pervert might be hiding at the corner of the
school so it would be better not to move around by herself. Turning away, she
tells him to shut up for occasionally, she also wants to be quietly all alone
by herself. Puzzled Mitsuru says that it seems that she is in a bad mood. Azusa
is surprised when he noticed what she is carrying and asked how come she has
two bento boxes. To her irritation, Mitsuru laughs and says, “Ah haha, it turns
out that you have such a big appetite. You’re obviously a model so be careful
that you won’t turn fat. *makes =P face* Luckily, my figure is still better
than yours.” Trembling in anger, Azusa thinks, “This slow-witted guy.. I really
want to kick you and send you flying..” Then, Mitsuru notices Azusa’s hands that
had a lot of adhesive bandages. She is surprised when he suddenly holds up her
hand and asks how come her hand is injured, and could it be that she was
attacked by that pervert guy. Blushing red, Azusa pulls her hand from his and
shouts that it is nothing at all, and do not casually touch her, you lewd
wolf!! Mitsuru is surprised by her reaction. At the courtyard bench, Azusa
tastes the bento she made and spits it out. She exclaims that it tastes yucky
and luckily she didn’t give it to Mitsuru. She lies down on the bench. She
thinks that even if by name, he is protecting her and lately, he is always
accompanying her by her side but obviously, compared before, it felt that the
distance is closer. “But, I’m totally mistaken. That somewhat sweet gentle
expression. He never showed it in front of me. No one is able to replace
Shino’s place in his heart. *flustered* I’ve only misunderstood Kobayashi’s
kindness and got carried away by happiness. I’m truly such an idiot..”
Later on, [probably after school
dismissal and he is in on cleaning duty], Mitsuru complains what’s up with
Azusa and she must be in such a bad mood. He notices a bento box in the trash
can. He recalls that bento is the one that Azusa was carrying. He picks it out
from the trash can and notices that it is very heavy so it ought to still have
something in it. While opening it, he complains that because she is rich, she
would casually waste food. It is a character bento with Mitsuru’s face, shinai,
and his name on top of the rice with some food like tamagoyaki [egg roll],
octopus-shaped sausages and pickles[?] at the side. Mitsuru freaks out and
exclaims that it is Mitsuru so could that be his face so she is giving it to
him!? A card falls down and it is a note from Azusa. It says, ‘Personal
bodyguard fee. Eat it all up with gratitude. =P’ Mitsuru blushes in surprise.
At an empty classroom, Mitsuru removes his wig and starts eating the bento. He
complains that the rice is too hard that it totally couldn’t be eaten. He wonders
if she properly try and tasted this. Then, he recalls her reaction when he
asked about her injuries on her hand. He thinks that her technique is very
rusty [/she isn’t used to cooking] but she made a bento for him with her utmost
effort and it caused her to be injured. He mutters, “Geez, it would be good to
just say it straight and how quarrelsome [/stubborn and reluctant to admit
defeat] can you be. Idiot..!! *blushes* Quite clumsy that you didn’t know how
to express [your feelings] that even if you are actually a very cute girl,
there is no one would realize it..” Narration: “From the first really awful
first encounter, it has already been a year and nine months. Always thinking
that she’s arrogant and has a nasty personality.. Hard-headed, stubborn, imperious..
but, during the second year [high school]’s spring, I started to clumsily feel
a bit of affection [/tender love] towards that the uncute her.”
Comment: Even if they are saying lovey-dovey stuff as usual, this
one is nice and I can feel that Mego and Aoi really love each other especially
since he kept holding and hugging her even if that is bad for him. Mego had
partially told him about what happened with Chiharu though I guess she is
embarrassed to say to mention about the hairclip because she did lost it. Maybe
she’ll tell him more about what happened later on. I’m sure Aoi would want to
know, because of that picture and perhaps, he’ll tell her more about his past.
And well, Azusa is such a tsundere and it seems that Mitsuru doesn’t quite know
how to deal with that kind of girl but then, well, he is indeed slowly falling
for her. With all that blushing, it seems that Mitsuru didn’t equate it to her
liking him but perhaps, more on her being embarrassed that she made the food
for him that she even injured herself. Mitsuru does seem to have moved on from
Shino and he has recovered well from that heartbreak. It is nice to be
genuinely happy for someone whom one loves but loves someone else. Too bad
Azusa misunderstand things and might close her heart again or at least, really
pretend to act that she isn’t in love with him..if she could. Appearance-wise,
Azusa’s bento for Mitsuru isn’t bad at all and she gets A+ for effort. Apparently,
Azusa is the type of cook who doesn’t taste what she cooked. ^^; Still..it is
something for Mitsuru to still want to eat something that he just got out of
the trash even if technically, the food ought to be still clean. Anyway,
because of the misunderstanding, Azusa is currently alone so the stalker might
strike soon and maybe..just maybe, if it happens, something will progress in
Azusa and Mitsuru’s relationship ^^ Scans by 夜莺工作室

thanks for this summary i really liked the Azusa x Mitsuru parts in this chapter and i hope to see more development between them^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^ Hopefully ^^
DeleteThis chapter is sooooo cute! thanks for the summary <3 Tika
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Tika ^-^
DeleteI really love the pairings in this series <3 Aoi is a really nice guy and really loves Mego. Even though he knows he will pass out he just keeps hugging her to the point of passing out and in the middle of lecturing Mego, he apologizes to her because he thinks he was too mean to her when he saw she was crying.
ReplyDeleteAzusa is really adorable for trying so hard for the guy that she likes and I think it's admirable of Mitsuru to pick up the bento from the trash and eat it without a second thought. I like that he gets to see Shino again and be genuinely happy for her. And now, bit by bit he's feelings are slowly growing for Azusa. I really love this chapter! Thank you for the summary Kat! ^_^
Yup ^^
DeleteThanks for reading ^-^
great chapter thanks for the summary/translation as always :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteThanks a lot for the summary! Sorry I didnt thank you before. Your Blog is great! keep up the good work! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and the comment, Unknown ^-^
DeleteHey, hugging non-stop at the street where they met? hahaha.. kind of idiotic but so sweet to be in-love like this..
ReplyDeleteAoi and Mego's hug and conversation really seems that one was lost and that they we're reunited after a long time.. their feelings are really deep that even if one wanted to be angry, he can't and just felt more love for the other. i really hope their relationship will be this strong and stronger until end.. especially that Chiharu has some plans..
Mitsuru and Asuza are also cute here.. Asuza trying hard to do something for Mitsuru, believing in the saying that "The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach"..^_^ though it means cooking deliciously for the one you like i think it still pays-off for Mitsuru seems to realize what Asuza's feelings are and he seems to feel he is developing "like" towards her..
hoping for more sweet and cute scenes for these twins and their partners.. And as always, thank you very much for the summary Ms. Kat!!
True..and they don't care about the passer-bys..totally into their own world =P Yup ^^
DeleteIt does seem that Azusa believes in that. ^^ True..
Indeed and thanks for reading ^-^
Yay! Aoi and Mego's distance is slowing closing! I can't wait until Aoi and Mego can kiss without Aoi end up fainting :))) Their moment was extremely kawaii <3 And I'm still wondering what Aoi's secret is.....
ReplyDeleteMitsuru and Azusa are slowing realizing their feelings and acting on them! I couldn't be happier for them. I started laughing when I saw Azusa making a bento for him, with his face on it; I don't know what Mitsuru is talking about, Azusa is really cute! I'm really conflicted about the whole "Azusa discovering Shino and Mitsuru" situation. There was nothing wrong with Shino and Mitsuru talking, but Mitsuru should try to restrain his feelings so he can move on with Azusa. But, Azusa shouldn't assume what Mitsuru's feelings are without knowing the whole situation. がんばりましょう あずさちゃん!
Yup, Grace ^^
DeleteIndeed..that was pretty funny. Well, it was because of the bad first impression. True..it was misunderstood.
Oh my gosh...I don't know if I'll feel touched or irked that mitsui ate the bento he got from a trash can. It was sweet though.
ReplyDeleteIrked, Lawrence? Why?
