With chocolates in his pockets, Yusa calls out to the monkey
there. This made Uki angrily shout who is the monkey. Imagining a monkey
calling out that it likes bananas, Yusa exclaims that she’s been calling out
like a monkey. Uki shouts for him not to lose his head just because he got lots
of choco. Soon, the two are in full blast screaming fest over who got the most
chocolates, it is not receive choco but take choco since she’s a girl, her
choco is specially given to her, she’s thick-faced, and she can send him flying
for she’s into sports. As Nanami eats the chocolates, Makoto muses that the
two’s relationship is quite good while they are quarrelling. She starts to
wonder where Iriya is. Then, she overhears three girls wondering out loud what
to do for Iriya isn’t around but then, they’ve heard that he refuses whatever
the others gave him. They decided to just treat those chocos as giri choco and
leave it on Iriya’s desk. After the girls left, Makoto becomes nervous for the
others’ gifts look very delicious. She hears someone quietly calling out to her
by the door. It is Iriya who is gesturing for her to come to him. At the
hallway, Iriya tells her to be quiet when she calls out to him. When Iriya
complaints over how annoying it is, Makoto mentions about how shocking it was
for there are a lot of chocolates. Just when she is saying that each of those
look very delicious, Iriya says that isn’t the problem. To Makoto’s shock, she
exclaims if he hates chocolates. Makoto quickly hides her chocolates behind her
and thinks that it is because she heard that he can eat sweets, but she didn’t
confirm that gossip since it is possible that he doesn’t like to eat
chocolates. She laments over not asking him directly. Standing up, Iriya tells
her that he doesn’t hate it but rather, he cannot eat all of it but then, he
couldn’t just throw them away. “There is only one that I want.” This surprises
Makoto that he sheepishly says that it seems like he’s pressing her to give him
one. Shaking her head, she says no. She takes out her box and says that even if
she thought of it a lot on what to do and even if it might not be that delicious
but this contains her grateful feelings as she worked on it. She holds out the
box to him and tells him that it is for him, please take it.
Asking if it is homemade, Iriya takes the box and thanks
her. He sees her fanning herself with her hands. He asks her if she’s that
nervous when they are obviously currently going steady. Flustered Makoto says that
it is because it felt like she is confessing once again. Iriya is moved by
that. He looks away and mutters what is that. “This is also too cute.” To
Makoto’s surprise, he corners her by the window and kisses her. Nanami and
others are watching with Yusa’s spirit pretty much leaving his body. Then, Uki
looks thoughtful. After school dismissal, Nanami decides to go home since the
two are going on a date. Her cellphone rings and it is from Uki asking her to
bring her towel that she left on the table to the gym where she has a club
activity. At the gym, Uki is playing basketball. Fangirls are squealing for
Uki. Uki’s co-members in the club hold out bags for the fangirls to put in
their chocolates for Uki, so that they won’t disturb the practice. After Uki
switch players with someone, she sees Nanami waiting for her. At some place [probably
behind the gym], Uki apologizes and thanks Nanami for bringing the towel to her.
Nanami says that it is okay even if it is awful how her fangirls has been glaring
at her. The fangirls were wondering who Nanami is. Uki apologizes and says that
she’ll pay attention to that next time. Drooling, Nanami is envious of Uki since
she got a lot of chocolates. Uki laughs and exclaims for her to say that, but
isn’t she a fairy. She offers for them to eat them together later on. Nanami
refuses because those were only for Uki. Uki says is that so. Then, Uki gives
her a small ribbon container and says that it is for her. This surprises
Nanami. Uki says that it is friend [/giri] choco and she bought this just now
at the convenient store before the club activity. Nanami protests, that doesn’t
Uki only receive choco? Uki says that’s true but she was under Nanami’s care in
various times and she helped her in looking after Makoto so this is specially
given to her. Nanami is moved and thanks her. Uki smiles and says, ya. Someone
calls out to Uki that the teacher is looking for her. Uki pats Nanami’s head
and says that she’s going. Recalling Uki saying that choco is specially for
her, Nanami thinks that Uki specially prepared it for her and for her [Nanami],
she [Uki] is an incomparable sparkling radiance that she couldn’t open her eyes
to but she wouldn’t fade away before her [Nanami] eyes.
Comment: It is
Vday. Iriya-Makoto scenes are quite nice. Sometimes, it is nice to have a not
timid and somewhat experienced boyfriend so that there’s that kind of scene =P Just
like Makoto, it seems that Shouki is still not that confident. Makoto isn’t
sure with her chocolate even if those who already tasted it said that it is
delicious. Shouki would even mention that Rika earns a lot more than he does.
Their mother’s reaction on Shouki is somewhat expected since she would want the
best for Rika, not someone like Shouki. I wonder if their mother would hinder
in their relationship later on since for now, she’s in shock. Uki and Yusa are
still the same as before and seem to have some sort of popularity contest going
between them. I’m not sure what the mangaka is aiming for but that last part is
giving me GL/yuri vibes. Could it be just plain ‘special friendship between
girls’ or there will be a love triangle later on with Uki-Nanami-Yusa? ^^; Scans

Thank you very much for the translation, these scenes are very cute.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much experience Kiriya has had?
We know Kiriya had a girlfriend, but I do not think they have gone too far (I think they kissed at the most). He had always acted according to the wishes of his girlfriend, it prevented them closer emotionally. So I do not think he has much experience.
Thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteWell, I think it is up to kissing.
Iriya is naturally a loving person. Kat, you described Iriya as " experienced". Ugh. I have a different meaning for experience as far as love is concerned, and I don't think Iriya is experienced that way. He says he just accepts any confession he gets, and goes with the flow , and when they dump him, he just shrugs it off. I don't think it had gone any deeper than that. I have a feeling though it would be different if, heaven forbid, something happened to his relationship with Makoto. I think it would have the same impact as when his mom left him to die. I can feel the love emanating from both Iriya and Makoto. In fact, more from Iriya who has so many girls drooling over him, but he has eyes only for makoto.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's going to be a problem. So far, the focus is now on side characters. I'm not interested, sadly. Although I do like Rika's and Shouki's story. Now I know why authors add rivals, ha ha ha. Iriya and makoto are so comfortable with each other already. They are like an old married couple. LOL
Lol, megaworthit..well, it also depends on whom you compare him with..when I've mentioned experienced, I'm comparing him with the super timid shy guys like in Kimi ni Todoke or Hibi Chouchou. So, I'm referring to the point of kisses and not up to that point. ^^;;
DeleteTrue..it seems to be more on the side characters now. Yup..that's the reason and if they are third years, it would be about leaving for college-separating stuff. =P
Things are going good between Iriya and Makoto and I love their sweet moments. It makes me wonder though on what will happen next and it makes me think what if Iriya's mother suddenly shows up? What kind of reaction will Iriya make?
ReplyDeleteAlso I have been wondering for a while even though she's thinking what's best for them, why does Makoto and Rika's mother can't support her children on what makes them really happy or give them encouragement rather than focusing on appearances and whom you think best suits for you? ^^; I agree with you, the last part really gave me yuri vibes especially with the sparkling background and close-up look but it would be interesting if there's a love triangle later between Uki-Nanami-Yusa..interesting combination haha!
Thank you kat for the summary :)
Yup ^^ What would be the next predicament..it is either that or the usual love rival. Maybe something really different? ^^
DeleteAbout the mother, regarding the boyfriend, I think she's thinking that she brought up Rika with the best in her life so she should also have the best boyfriend in terms of wealth and appearance, etc rather than ending up with someone inferior to Rika. Somewhat like basing it on their status and stuff rather than love and being happy with the other person. Somewhat like what that other model thinks of Shouki.
True..it interesting and really rare.
Thanks for reading ^-^
i thought there would have a story about uki and yusa more in valentine day.
ReplyDeletea little bit surprise that it's uki and nanami instead :O
but well... kinda interesting lol :P (but for me i want to know the story of Uki and Yusa moreee)
hmmm about shouki and rika hope her mom will not oppose about their relationship :3
Ya, Samila..mangaka trying out something different?
DeleteAbout that, we'll see..it can prolong the series =P
