She starts to wonder if she’s
actually scared. She snaps out of it and thinks that if at this time, it is
Elena.. Chihiro closes her eyes and hugs him. She thinks, “No. I don’t want to
lose to Elena. *kisses Sho* I don’t want to lose.” While she is hugging him
tight, she notices that Sho is starting to grope for her chest. This made her
shout no, in the end, it is still.. “I’m sorry. I went overboard! I’m sorry!”
She closes her eyes and braces herself over what would happen. Nothing is
happening so she opens her eyes and sees Sho pulling himself up. This is a
shock to her. She quickly sits up and tries to call his name. Sho makes her sit
up to him and looks at her. He asks, “So, what do you want to ask?” This
surprises her. He repeats that there is something that she wants to ask. She
tries to deny it but Sho says that it is obvious that with just one look that
she is very strange today. Chihiro glumly becomes quiet for it is about Elena.
Sho tells her to just say what she wants to ask because for her to be this
uneasy would also start to make him uneasy. Realizing this, she apologizes to
him. Thinking that he’s concerned about her, she clenches her fist. Holding up
her hand, she exclaims, “Okay. Then, I’m going to ask. What did you and Elena
talk about today? And also, how did the two of you get acquainted with each
other and why did you two break up? After breaking up, did you always have no
contact with each other? Or, do you still keep in touch through LINE [/internet
messaging and call app].” After saying that she’s asking too many questions at
once, Sho tells her that he knew Elena through his sister for she is basically
her sister’s friend. He came to know her when she came to hang out at their
house. Chihiro realizes that’s the reason why she’s older. Scratching his head,
Sho says that about the break up, he ought to say that he was the one dumped by
Elena because at that time, he’s quite childish. “When we broke up, we didn’t
keep in touch nor did I know how to contact her. After a long time, we met
again today, and I’m also truly shocked by this. So, I also didn’t contact her
through LINE before. We didn’t get to chat much today because Souta came midway
and we didn’t get into the personal topic.” Chihiro thinks is that so, good job
Souta, so in the end, she’ll buy him that pie.
Bending his head to the side, Sho
asks her if she can accept that. She smiles and says yes. But, she is thinking
that actually, there is something that she really wants to ask, did he had
H[/sex] with Elena but she felt that asking this can be quite intimidating to
him. She apologizes to him for asking too much. Then, she starts thinking that
she doesn’t want Sho to consider her as a serious girl and like that, he was
quite frank and open that she went ahead and ask without any embarrassment. “I
actually still have all sorts of things that I want to ask.. all sorts of.. in
short, that thing a while ago, it seems that he’s very used to it.. all sorts
of.. In..in the end, together with Elena.. he did the lewd stuff.. no, it’s all
sorts.. *surprised* Ah, I’m recklessly thinking again!” Sho pinches her cheek
and says, “I pinch. Hey, don’t be preoccupied. I pinch. I pinch.” While he
pinches both her cheeks, Chihiro asks what he is doing.. Sho laughs and says
that in the end, octopus mouth is quite fun. She tells him to stop that. And, he
kisses her. Then, he turns around from and says for today, it is up to here,
he’ll restrain himself first. He covers his face and groans. He says that just
now, he thought that she inviting him because she has that kind of intention
and in the end, it’s quite reckless that it make him embarrassed. He peeks on
her and she blushes at blushing Sho. She thinks that he’s so cute and can’t she
think that way. While they snuggle, Chihiro hopes that she’s the only one whom
he has shown that kind of expression. Sho’s cellphone rings. Sho looks
surprised. Chihiro asks if he isn’t going to answer it. He says that it is a
message from Elena. He tells her that Elena said that she asked his friend in
order to know his email. Sho shows the message to Chihiro. Elena’s message is
indeed that she got the email address from Sho’s friend and it’s really great
that she was able to meet him today, thank you ^_^ Elena ♡♡.
Chihiro
lets out a smile and says, it’s true. Chihiro thinks that it is rare for Sho
not to conceal it and tell her about it. She thinks that she should also pay
attention in order for him not to sense her uneasiness. She tells herself that
it isn’t Sho’s fault and she obviously knows that, but how come she felt quite
uneasy.
Soon, it is the night festival. A
committee member calls out as to who hasn’t gotten the flower for the exchange,
to go to their respective classroom’s committee member. Standing with the
others in the school grounds where there is a bonfire, Chihiro thinks that
everyone are giving the flower to the person they like. Looking at her own
flower, she wonders what she should do for even if she wanted to give it to
Sho, but she felt like apologizing to him [/doing wrong to him] since she’ll be
giving it to him with this kind of feeling that she has now. She wonders if
she’s thinking too much. Someone calls her name and puts the flower on her left
ear. She turns around and sees Sho. Sho smiles and says that it really suits
her and she’s very cute. He closes his eyes and leans towards her. This
surprises Chihiro that Sho says, “Flower. Mine?” This made Chihiro recall it.
Sho asks her to stick to him. She asks where. Then, she puts it on his right
ear. He winks and asks if it suits him. This made Chihiro giggle and says it
will do. Sho takes out his cellphone so that they can take a selfie picture
together but they were interrupted by a phone call. Sho takes off the flower
and answers it. Chihiro can hear that it is a girl’s voice and she wonders if
it is Elena. After Sho hangs up, he apologizes and says that they continue with
the picture taking. She asks him who called. Sho says that it is his sister.
Thinking that he’s lying and is it for real, Chihiro asks if isn’t Elena. Then,
Chihiro is shock over what she just said. Sho asks if she is still concerned
about that and didn’t she say yesterday that she accepts it. “Didn’t I tell you
that if you’re uneasy, tell me about it?” Chihiro couldn’t say anything so Sho
tells her to say something. Sho frowns and asks if she doesn’t trust him that
much. Sho suggests that they go home separately since if they are together, he
felt like it would just cause some unnecessary dispute. This surprises Chihiro.
She calls out to him but he already left. Chihiro thinks that she couldn’t say
it for if she said it, it will definitely be willful and she’ll be hated by
him. [<- ah, I think the willful is more like asking Sho not to have
anything to do with Elena.] Felt like crying, she knows that it isn’t Sho’s
fault, but her’s *cries* since she just kept on thinking about Elena. Soon,
glum Chihiro walks out of the train station. She wipes her tears and looks up.
She sees the Patisserie Satie and remembers to buy a pie for Souta. She is
surprised when someone calls out to her. It is Nanjou who asks if she’s going
home right now and it is quite rare for them to meet in this kind of place.
When Chihiro turns to face him, Nanjou sees her crying face that he asks her
what happened. Blurb: “Nanjou finally moving-!?”
Comment: Anyone who thinks that it isn’t a coincidence, but Nanjou
is kind of stalking her, raise your hand. Nanjou doesn’t seem to love her or
anything so I’m curious what is he planning/thinking. Is it because she is the
fish that got away or he just wants to break up couples? ^^; Well, whatever the
reason, Sho might also start to realize why Chihiro feels uneasy even if
nothing is happening between him and Elena, and he is being honest with her about
everything. Like, how does he feel if Nanjou starts to hang around too close
around Chihiro even if she obviously has no feelings for him. Well, in this
world, it always look bad if it is a girl for she’ll be like flirty but for a
guy, it is called being popular. ^^; As for Elena, she obviously can get in
contact with Sho so why did she leave her number to Chihiro. Is it to confuse
Chihiro and make her think that ‘I just want to be your friend’ to lower her
guard? Aside from jealousy and curious over what else did Sho did with Elena
when they were going steady, I think the uneasiness Chihiro is feeling is also
somewhat like a gut feel that something is wrong or bad is going to
happen..maybe like a woman’s instinct. In such case, should Chihiro immediately
nip it from the bud since Elena seems to be out to get Sho back but then, she
doesn’t have concrete proof yet. Earlier, Elena has all sorts of excuses like,
ah, it is a habit to sit beside him. Since Chihiro is a nice girl, she doesn’t
want to doubt Elena’s intention. Sho might indeed think of her as some jealous
dominating girlfriend that he couldn’t even be ‘friends’ with an ex-girlfriend.
I’m assuming that based on his actions with Elena, he pretty much let down his
guard and doesn’t think anything bad as to why Elena seems very happy to see
him, clingy on him and eager to keep in touch with him. So how much is okay?
Maybe for now, it is okay but would it be too late later on? It is basically
how paranoid should one be with one’s lover’s ex who suddenly wanted to get in
touch with one’s lover. Aside from this, it doesn’t help that Sho is Chihiro’s
first boyfriend so there is a tendency to be overly curious/bothered over how
far did he went with Elena. If Chihiro had a boyfriend before or experience,
maybe it won’t bother her too much nor would she be that curious. It is
understandable that Chihiro doesn’t want to ask too much either since she
doesn’t want to be too intruding, I guess. Not sure if it is a Japanese thing
or something. There might be those who do not want to be asked such questions
like that as if ‘do you really have to know EVERYTHING?’ But, since Sho seems
to be open and truthful, I think he would least answer her regarding the sex
thing. Anyway, it would probably be better for Chihiro to talk things out with
Sho because either way, it will cause a rift between them even if she didn’t
tell him her uneasiness. Also, how uneasy it made her feel over what Elena is
doing earlier. Nevertheless, even if he was kind of clueless over Elena, I do
comment Sho for being honest and willing to talk to Chihiro about it even urge
her to do so. He is also quite understanding that Chihiro isn’t ready to go
that far and has not did any comparison of her with Elena whatsoever. I think
Chihiro also has to overcome her inferiority complex with Elena and accept the
fact that Sho won’t be doing some things for the first time with her and
possibly, sex. Of course, it isn’t confirmed if he did it or not. The
lovey-dovey moments here are nice and too bad they got interrupted twice by
Sho’s phone. From the looks of things, it won’t just be his phone that is going
to interrupt them. Scans by 深雪汉化组

Assumptions are the termites of
relationships. ~ Henry Winkler
Ah, Kat, here it comes.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay that Sho is somewhat clueless as to what a current Gf is feeling regarding an ex. But I do feel that since he is capable of being aware what his current GF feels about his ex , he should have known as well that it's not good to be too casual in allowing his ex to contact him and be too friendly with him. This is Bokutachi Shitte Shimatta all over again.
How about seeing Chihiro getting close to Naujo. He does know Chihiro crushed on Naujo before. What is he gonna feel about that?
As to the question whether Sho had done it with Elena...... it's 50-50. Take note that Elena is older than him ( by how many years, I don't know ) , and since Sho is just a first year HS, he probably had the relationship in middle school. The problem here is Sho seems to know what to do.... and he 's always forward in his advances. Like on this chapter, he started groping Chihiro's breasts. I can aready imagine what more he has done with Elena who most probably has been a willing partner and less than innocent. I can assume they have gone all the way.
Ya..it seems like that, megaworthit..and Nanjou would be like the other guy in BwSS when Kotori is all alone after that incident. =P
DeleteI think that is what the mangaka is going for since she tends to be 'fair' with her characters = 'get what you deserve'.
My guess is around four years older than Sho. True..
Kikou ... ^^
ReplyDeleteTks you Kat for your summary ...!!! I was looking so much for it !!! .... Humm ... well it's hard to see that things are now complicated between our two heros ... !! ... Even if Sho seems to be open at all sortes of conversations, I can really understand what Chihiro is feeling toward his past ....!!! ... But well nanjou apparing at the end of chapter will it bring more troubles ?! ... I don't know but I think that we arrived at a critic moment of the story ....
So in all cases tks a lot Kat for continuing this manga !!!
Bises^^
Thanks for reading, zaza ^-^
DeleteIndeed..
I think that Chihiro is not just the fish that got away in Nanjou's mind. He might have even liked her since middle school. The problem is that since it seems as if it's the girls who goes after him, he must have expected her to confess to him too. But since she didn't and she seems to have moved on easily with a new interest, it must be a new experience for him not to get what he wants. And since he knew that she liked him before too and he likes her [I believe] of course that's why he's pursuing her now. And so of course something like this must happen since Nanjou is one of the mc that was introduced from the first. This is where his red thread or something intertwines with them.
ReplyDeleteIs that so. True, that is possible.
DeleteThe reason I think that Nanjou is kind of 'playing' because during the junior high kendo competition, Sho saw him kissing some other girl in the forest. So I've said 'fish that got away'. And, when Chihiro 'rejected' him during the karaoke party, he claims that she is easy to deceive, and he just want to see her waver because she's very interesting. Even if he might be trying to cover up the rejection, his expression when he left seems like like a 'cunning' one = 'I'll be back' rather than 'sigh I'm been rejected'.
Anyway, because of the red thread and we don't know much about him nor his intention, things are still mostly based on one's perception of him from what he's doing. So, we'll just have to wait and see. ^^
I didn't know Nanjuo was like that. You're most probably right, Kat. Maybe he's the type who pretends to be cool, despite the girls liking him. But , the truth is, he's actually really playing with these girls. He's not mysterious at all. I bet he was just waiting for Chihiro to confess, but instead , her interest was diverted to some other guy. So, yeah, she;s the one that got away. And perhaps , he wasn't used to that.
DeleteI have a feeling it would turn out like Bokutachi. Sho is not as insensitive as the mc in Bokutachi. Sho even encourages her to speak out whatever she's thinking. And he demands that she trusts him. Maybe, Sho was disappointed that t Chihiro didn't believe him about the call. I guess that would be the start .I'm sure Elena will step up whatever it is she's planning.... and this, Sho might be a bit peeved with Chihiro that he might just go ahead and let Elena meet with him... and Chihiro will see that, maybe a scene where Elena and Sho are in a lovey dovey situation.... Bam .. break - up... or maybe, it would be Sho who would see Chihiro and Najuo together. Heh... just my prediction.LOL
Ya, it seems like that, megaworthit..I'm waiting for it to be confirmed.
DeleteYup..in a way, I think the mangaka will try to make this better than Bokutachi even if there are similar elements in it.
Those are possible situations and in both..things don't look good since it would cause a misunderstanding which can drag on for a lot of chapters. It also makes me wonder if their friends will just be 'bystanders' or will get involve in their problem..like help them out.
Oh lord, please don't make this manga's plot similar to Bokutachi Shitte Shimatta! I will definitely lose my interests in this manga. Btw, thanks for the summary! <3 Tika
ReplyDeleteHehe..is that so. Thanks for reading, Tika ^-^
DeleteDo you think dating them will last long?
ReplyDeleteWell I think that things are taking a turn very bad and Shou seems the kind of guy who does not realize the feelings of others and do not know if he will understand Chihiro.
I think he deserves to suffer jealousy to begin to rethink their actions.
Hm..it depends.
DeleteAnd it is possible that it will have a bad turn.
Well, I think that will happen - jealousy to realize. ^^
Hey Kat! Thanks for the summary I really love this manga, Sho is so hot!!! ,It would be great if there is a guy like him in the real life, haha I wonder what is going to happen between Nanjou & Sho?? And I would like to know the reason why Should broke up with his ex, I mean she is trying to get closer to him again...she gave me that feeling specially when she told Sho about Chihiro and their opposite personalities.anyway I'll be waiting for your next summaries. >_<
ReplyDeleteSho told Chihiro it was Elena who broke up with him because he was childish ? I 'm not sure if Elena told him that, or Sho assumed that was the reason because Elena, according to Kat, is 4 years older than Sho.
DeleteThanks for reading, Allison ^-^
DeleteHehe, maybe they'll fight it out in a kendo duel =P
As megaworthit mentioned which is in the summary, Sho mentioned that it is because he is childish.
True..from Elena's actions, it does seem that she wants to get closer to Sho again.
