Chapter 35: A couple of grandfathers are talking in a bar.
One of the grandfathers had to move to a different place due to a reversal of
fortune. The other grandfather wanted to help him out.
And, to their surprise, Minato stands up and says to please sit down. After they got off the train, the girl wants to apologize to Minato but he said that it is nothing. Yuuma is puzzled about this since he was sleeping in the train.
Later, those girls inform Aoi that she was told by the teacher to tell Aoi regarding her cleaning duty. During lunch, the girl had a laugh over how Aoi easily believed her and isn’t she an idiot. She isn’t happy for whether Aoi is nobility or something, she’s just a sly to get so close with guys when she just transferred.
While walking at the courtyard, Yuuma asks how Minato named the cat [<- Minato’s pet that was originally found by Ririko’s younger brother and made the younger brother have a better perspective of Minato].
There is a scene of Minato dictating all sorts of name for the cat to react if it likes the name. In the end, the cat name is Charlotte which it had picked for itself by pointing to a paper with that name.
Yuuma is really amused by that. Sweeping the courtyard, Aoi
bumps into Minato who immediate catches her to stop her from falling. She
immediately backs away and apologizes. Yuuma recognizes her as the girl this
morning.
Aoi recognizes Minato and starts to apologize about this
morning. Yuuma asks what she is doing. She informs them that her classmate told
her that the teacher wanted her to sweep the courtyard. The guys realize that
she is being bullied and she just transferred in their school.
Yuuma informs Aoi that they have cleaners so the students
don’t have to clean the school so she was deceived. Aoi says is that so but she
continues to sweep the grounds. Yuuma tries to tell her that there’s no need to
do that but Aoi says that she wants to finish the job.
She asks if there’s something wrong with that. That kind of
attitude reminded Minato of Ririko that he smiles and says that no, it’s quite
good. Aoi blushes over this. When Yuuma asked her name, Aoi thinks that her
surname isn’t easy for others to call out so she just said, Aoi-chan.
Yuuma tells her that if someone asks her to do something,
confirm it with them first. Minato said that if she is familiar with someone in
school, then the chances of others deceiving her would lessen. Aoi asks if it
won’t trouble them. Minato says no.
In class, much to the envious girls’ dismay, Aoi was
approached by other girls who are amazed that she talked with Minato. They talk
about wanting to go steady with Minato but it seems he had a girlfriend from
another school but then, they heard they already broke up.
At the train station, Aoi finds herself looking at Minato
and friends. Then, she stops herself and rushes into the train. At the
supermarket, Aoi is having a hard time buying some products on sale.
Ririko helps her out by giving her share. Aoi is moved to
tears. Aoi informs Ririko about her family’s economic status becoming bad so
she isn’t used to normal stuff like this. Her mother had also collapsed lately
but then, it cannot be helped since there are a lot of things that she isn’t
used to.
Ririko offers to help her shopping if she goes to this
supermarket. On the way home, Aoi meets up with her grandfather who helped her
with the groceries. To her surprise, her grandfather is setting her up to a
miai [arranged marriage] with his friend’s grandson.
Aoi tries to decline for she is still a junior high student
[third year]. Grandfather says that of course, the marriage is after they
graduate so if she doesn’t want to, he can refuse it but he just wishes for her
happiness.
That night, Ririko informs Minato about meeting a girl at
the supermarket, giving her share of the dinner and becoming friends. While
playing with the cat, Minato asks if that is okay for won’t that person be too
dependent. Ririko says it shouldn’t become like that and she looks honest and
cute. Ririko thinks that the outfit is somewhat similar with Minato’s school
uniform.
Jealous Minato says that Ririko couldn’t leave that girl be
yet she obviously left him without a care. Ririko frantically says that it is
because of Etsuko and he saw it right, when she strictly said that Ririko has
to study since it will be final exams soon so she’ll temporarily stop her work
for Minato.
Minato apologizes for that person is talkative ever since
before when it obviously should be fine. Ririko laughs and says that for Etsuko
to say that, it made her a bit happy because that would be the tone her mother
would have if she is still here. This surprises Minato then he smiles.
At school, Aoi is gloomy for she reluctantly agreed to the
miai which made her grandfather happy. She thinks that it should be okay for if
she got engaged then their family will be saved. Anyway, marriage is still
quite far off.
Then, someone calls out to her as Aoi. It is Minato who
asked if she is okay. She blushes and says that she is just thinking of
something. Yuuma isn’t around since he rarely wakes up early. Minato comments
about Aoi riding the wrong train yesterday. Aoi is embarrassed for he saw her.
Minato laughs and says that it turns out to be her and if he
saw it earlier, he could have stopped her. Then, he greets her a good morning
before joining his friends.
While her heart is going doki-doki, Aoi doesn’t feel like
going to a miai and he even called her name. On the weekend, at a nice Japanese
restaurant, Aoi is all dressed up for her miai. Aoi asks how come it is set
today. The grandfather says that it is because everyone is free today.
Soon, the other party has arrived. The other grandfather
greets them. Aoi’s grandfather calls the other as, Suou. This surprises Aoi.
She looks up and is surprised for the other party is Suou Minato.
Chapter 36: When Aoi called out to Minato, Minato calls out
her name. It made the grandfathers happy that their relationship is quite good
that there’s basically no need for them to match them up.
After the grandfathers talk for a while, Minato’s grandfather
perform some ceremony in preparing the incense that he just received. Aoi
couldn’t believe that the other party is Minato that it is all like a dream.
After the ceremony, Minato’s grandfather says that they are
taking their leave so the youngsters take their time. Minato tries to call out
to him but Aoi’s grandfather holds Minato’s hand.
He bows and says that he’ll leave his granddaughter to
Minato. While walking at the courtyard, Aoi is saying how shocked she was for
it turns out that the other party is Minato.
Then, she notices that Minato is no longer walking with her
and he is in deep thought. Minato says that even if he can somewhat guess it
but what did she come here for. She says that it is a miai. Minato is shocked.
He covered his face then looks really furious. There is a
flashback of Minato’s grandfather who recently returned to Japan fetching
Minato from school. He talked about Minato quarreling with his father but
Minato said that isn’t the reason he came here to talk with him.
His grandfather said that he got some expensive incense and
he wanted Minato to come to the incense ceremony [<- something like tea
ceremony, I guess] since the number of people there is few. End flashback. Aoi
says so he didn’t know that it is a miai. Minato said that if he knew, he won’t
come for obviously, he already has a girlfriend.
Recalling what she heard, Aoi asks if the girl is from
another school and she heard that they broke up. Minato says she is from
another school but they didn’t break up. <- the others are referring to
Serina. Minato says that it turns out that Aoi is her name and not her surname.
Slightly scared Aoi tells him her surname. Minato reprimands
her that she should have said so that it made the grandfathers misunderstand
and think that their relationship is quite good. [<- he is calling her by
her first name] Wondering what to do for Minato is angry, Aoi apologizes.
Minato couldn’t believe that she’s just a third year junior high yet she’ll
agree to this.
She says that her grandfather is worried about her and she
knew that he is doing it for her own good. She wanted to refuse but couldn’t do
so. Minato is going to continue reprimanding her that at this time, it would be
hard to refuse but she is already crying. She apologizes for causing him
trouble.
Minato apologizes for his mistake and he should be angry at
his grandfather. He apologizes and wipes her tears with a piece of paper [kaishi].
He warns that it is good that it is him so he can properly refuse for what if
it is some old geezer, she might immediately be married off.
Aoi wonders how things will turn out if Minato doesn’t have
a girlfriend. At home, Minato angrily protests at his grandfather for setting
him up for a miai. His grandfather explains that he is friends with Aoi’s
grandfather and he is a nice good guy but he just easily believes others.
So, after being deceived, he lost his company and property
and they are now living at a relative’s house. The grandfather is still worried
about Aoi so Minato’s grandfather wanted to help him out. Irked Minato says
that even if that is how it is, don’t casually decide his life and he already
has a girlfriend.
The grandfather says that the marriage is for the future and
he isn’t saying that he break up right now. This irks Minato again. Minato’s
grandfather mentions about how cute Aoi is, etc and won’t he look at Aoi in the
far future. Minato says no.
The grandfather laments about wanting to have a connection
between their families for this is good for both families. [<- I think for
them, it would be the ‘name/lineage’ of Aoi’s family] At school, Aoi starts to
avoid Minato. Minato also pretends not to know she’s hiding from him.
Then, Aoi’s new friends wanted her to introduce them to
Minato. Aoi informs them that Minato has not broken up with his girlfriend.
This made the girls leave. Minato overhears some girls talking about that girl
whose surname they couldn’t remember well.
On the way home, Minato rides on the same train as Aoi and
said that he told her not to ride the wrong train. <- he calls her Aoi
again. Minato apologizes and says that he didn’t know what happened to her
family. Aoi is moved by the gesture.
The train suddenly stops and falls on him. She apologizes
and backs away. She notices the cat keychain on Minato’s bag. She says that it
is so cute and does he like it. He smiles and says oh, that. She asks if it is
given by his girlfriend. He says that it isn’t a gift but something they bought
together as remembrance. He becomes embarrassed and tells her to keep that a
secret.
Then, after Minato left, Aoi gets a message from Ririko to
inform her of a sale at that supermarket. Ririko apologizes to Aoi that she is
concentrating on her exams so she couldn’t go to this supermarket but it is
okay, there is a meat sale here and she’ll just use this time as rest time,
too.
Aoi thanks Ririko for the help and teaching her to cook.
Ririko says that it seems she is having a hard time but don’t force herself too
much because she looks listless. Soon, Aoi admits to her the reason.
It is because she has an unrequited love yet she hasn’t
confessed. It is only because she knew the guy had a girlfriend. She hopes that
these feelings would quickly disappear.
Ririko says that it is fine since just having feelings can
make one happy and lively so she doesn’t have to immediately want it to
disappear, just take it slowly. Aoi wonders if there’s no need to make this
feelings disappear. Aoi asks Ririko if she has someone she likes. Ririko smiles
yes, someone she really likes.
At the train, in the next morning [?], Ririko happily greets
Minato. He comments that she looks quite lively even if today is the start of
the exams. Ririko says that it is because even if she studies in school and
home, she really anticipates up to what degree she can do. He comments that she’s
relaxed.
She says that his exams will start on Friday so was Etsuko
annoying him. He says that his grades are good so she doesn’t say much to him
but then, he was forbidden to work. Ririko laughs and says that it is fine for
it was mentioned to his father. Ririko says that she’ll go make meals for him
after exams. He says, ya.
He holds her hand and their fingers intertwine. The two
smile together. After Ririko got off, the train passes by Aoi who is busy
studying but she couldn’t memorize well. Then, the train door opens. She greets
Minato. She talks about forgetting to study when she was busy learning to cook
because she is in charge of their meals.
Minato recalls that Aoi’s family lost everything. Minato
says that if there is something that she doesn’t know then come and ask him.
Aoi thinks that means he is willing to teach her. She blushes over this. She
thinks that she likes him and she doesn’t want these feelings to disappear.
There is a scene of Ririko taking an exam. That night,
Minato is surprised that Charlotte can open the door. The cat jumps on his
table. Minato smiles and throws it on the bed for it is a hindrance to his
studies. Charlotte gets even by playing and biting the cat key chain on
Minato’s bag. That night, while sleeping, Ririko hears a sound.
It is 3:23am when her father is sound asleep on the dining
table. Ririko welcomes him back and tells him to go to bed to sleep. His father
mutters that he has to wake up early. After putting him in bed, Ririko finds
his father’s complexion doesn’t look quite well.
Since our couple is nice, they’ll definitely cannot help but help her out given her family’s situation. But then, Aoi will be vulnerable into thinking that Minato’s kindness towards her mean something else. Or, we can say, it will make her fall deeper in love with him. Oh ya, Charlotte is very cute ^^ I like that cat. Scans by all★wink汉化组

Sorry for asking here Kat, but when is coming out the next chapter of Ookami-heika no Hanayome ?
ReplyDeleteThank you !
María, do you mean the summary? Maybe around next week. I'm expecting the Chinese scanlator to give the go signal this Sunday.
DeleteYes! the summary!, i´m looking forward to it, until next week then, will be a long waiting for me, ahahaha thanks Kat
DeleteYup, hopefully and no problem, María ^-^
DeleteThanks Kat for the summaries. Ahhh. Another love rival now its on minato.. Hope this wont affect the couple. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso,the omai thing. Minato has not mention it to ririko. Maybe for him its no big deal and also he wants ririko to focus on her exam.. Do u think if it will reach to ririko that minato has been on omai will it bother her?
Its look like ririko will encounter another issue regarding her dad and his work..
Thanks for reading, Luzmie ^-^
DeleteYup..another love rival though it seems that the couple are totally clueless about it. ^^;
Nope, he didn't. It might bother her but an explanation can easily resolve it.
Yup.
Kat, this is what I don't like with some shoujou guy MCs. have you read this from the very beginning ? Minato is so kind that he never says no to any confession, especially if the girl who has confessed is pretty. But it seems the relationships do not last because Minato is not affectionate and just goes with the flow. If they break up with him, he's like, " uhm, okay. "
ReplyDeleteDo you know he keeps an album of all the girls who have loved him ? Over a hundred pics, kat.
maybe he's become attracted to Ririko because she's a great cook.
With Serina, he cannot even reject her. they both act as if they are girlfriend- boyfriend. This is the reason why Ririko's classmate is so mad at Minato. His ex dumped her for Minato. Minato was so nice to her that she thought he'd be her boyfriend once she had broken up with her boyfriend, Ririko's classmate.
Minato is easy to get if the girl is pretty enough.
Ririko will soon have her heart broken.
I somewhat recall that, megaworthit. I practically speed read the earlier chapters ^^;
DeleteThat might be one reason for the attraction.
Since you mentioned that, it might also be the reason why Aoi is like that. Still, I think that girl is thinking way too ahead to think that just because he's nice to her, he'll be her boyfriend. And, she already has a boyfriend. I already forgot how they resolved that issue with Ririko's classmate though. ^^;;
As of the present, I don't get that impression. I mean, like he'll be fickle with Ririko.
Thanks for the summaries. I've seen the raws online but they aren't translated to English yet! I love this manga a lot. Btw have you heard of the manga P to JK? Do you have any summaries for it by any chance? It hasn't updated for a long time but the raws are out and I'm trying to find summaries for them. Thanks!
ReplyDelete-Diana
Thanks for reading, Diana ^-^
DeleteActually, no. I read a few chapters at the start. Then, read a bit of the new ones but I couldn't get into the series.
