Nogiku is shocked when Kasane holds up the lipstick to her.
Kingo immediately tries to grab the lipstick as he shouts at Kasane, “What are
you doing, idiot!?”
Kingo had knocked the lipstick off Kasane’s hand. To his
dismay, it lands on Nogiku’s foot. Nogiku picks it up. Kingo nervously tells
her to give it back to him.
Holding the lipstick tight, Nogiku shouts that if he wants
it safe and sound, he better be good and stay put!! “If you dare come nearer,
I’ll...” Iku looks tense.
After biting his lip, Kingo says that if something happens
to the lipstick, she won’t be able to leave here intact. “The same goes for
that high school teacher called ‘Amagasaki’.” This shocks Nogiku.
Kasane asks, high school teacher...? Kingo says that it is
her companion. Surprised Kasane shouts that he obviously had already
investigated everything yet he hid that from her...!!
Kingo shouts how can he possible show his cards to the
current her. “Besides, didn’t you also hide things from me? We are even.” Iku
frantically tells Nogiku to calm down.
Nogiku shouts that this has nothing to do with Yuuto. “That
person is simply...” Kingo says, ah, he always thought that Yuuto is merely a
customer whom she got along with [/had the most money among her customers]...
“It turns out to be like that. That person is your real
lover [whom you are unexpectedly serious with], right? You really have a
strange taste [/unique preference].” This made Nogiku angry.
She quickly removes the cover of the lipstick and extends
its contents out. She threatens Kingo that if he does anything strange, she’ll
immediately destroy this lipstick!
“I won’t let you lay a hand on Amagasaki. Even if I were to
put my life at risk, I...absolutely won’t allow it!!” Kasane tells Kingo that
it is impossible to threaten and suppress Nogiku who had always depended on
hatred to live.
Kasane slightly walks towards Nogiku and says, “You ought to
understand now, Nogiku. Giving you the lipstick means that I’m putting my life
into your hands...
...You only have to be patient until the stage play has
finished its show. You can do whatever you want to do with me. Whether it is to
put me in extreme danger or hack me into pieces, I’ll do as you wish...”
The two women look surprised at Kasane. Nogiku asks if
Kasane swears that during that time, Yuuto will be safe and Kingo won’t do
anything. Kasane says yes, of course. “If anything were to happen, you can just
kill me and destroy the lipstick.”
Everyone is shock by what Kasane said. After a while, Nogiku
starts to put the lipstick back inside. Looking at Kingo, Kasane says that it
is settled and she is finished with what she has to say. “Even if it is like
that, your wish will become reality, right?”
Kingo clicks his tongue. He turns around and shouts that
they are a group of idiots!!! He slams the door on the way out. Iku calls out
to Kasane and tells her that Nogiku is currently staying with her so if there
is anything up, she can contact her.
Kasane looks at her and says, she understands. She thanks
Iku before turning to leave. After Kasane left, Nogiku suddenly falls down on
her knees. Worried Iku asks if she is alright.
Holding her arms, Nogiku asks how she can possibly be
alright. “They already know about Amagasaki...and besides, for Kasane to be
this calm, it’s too abnormal. She is definitely secretly plotting something! If
not, how is it possible for that stubborn woman to easily change like that!!”
Meanwhile, Kasane follows Kingo who is walking ahead. He
stops to reprimand Kasane to quit joking around. He admits that right now, he totally
cannot comprehend what she is thinking since she unexpectedly gave away the
lipstick and even her life...
“Where is Izana-san’s final wish in all of this!! I have
told you many times already that Izana-san entrusted me to ‘guide you towards
the [spot]light’...!!”
Kasane looks at him then looks at the side. Kasane says that
he is simply considering his own and her mother’s thoughts [/wishes]. “You
totally didn’t even consider my own wish.” This made Kingo walk towards
her.
He slaps her really hard that it causes Kasane to fall down
on the ground. Glaring at her, Kingo tells her to go back to the house by
herself. “Without the lipstick, you are simply an ordinary ugly woman whom I
don’t even want to look at. See ya.” He left teary-eyed Kasane who is holding
her bleeding nose.
Narration: “It’s like that. The gear at the lowest ebb had
once again started to turn. *scene of a slithering body of a snake* It seems to
be ascending or perhaps, descending. *scene of a woman wearing a Shinto
priestess outfit* But, it will go towards the end [peak].”
Comment:
Apparently, even if Kasane has no plot in giving Nogiku the lipstick and she is
just thinking of doing the right thing to make everyone happy, everyone around
her would still make things difficult for her.
It is natural for Nogiku to doubt her. Actually, it is
really unnerving to see Kasane like that. She was pretty calm and can even talk
things through Nogiku who had pretty much blowing her top because of Kingo’s
threats towards Yuuto.
It makes me think that it was like Kasane has already
figured out Nogiku as to what makes her tick. Actually, she seems to be quite
on the dot regarding Kingo, too. He is only using her for his drama and
perhaps, Izana’s wish is his alibi.
For going against that, he did that to Kasane and even said
something very mean to her which was the root of her lack of self-confidence. I
think the latter part hurts more than the slap. But then, something is moving
again.
It makes me wonder if things will turn out like the first
chapter. Everyone is against her except for Iku who seems to be genuinely concerned
about her. But in the end, will Kasane be like most bullied female lead in a horror
movie, they’ll have the last laugh? Scans by RAD汉化组

DeleteThank you for reading them, Sonny ^-^
Thank you for the translation! Kasane is definitely plotting something, we shall wait and see!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Kingo is an as***le!! (Since the beginning)
Thanks for reading, Sua ^-^
DeleteHopefully, she is. I start to have doubts by the way she looked at the end of this chapter. I mean, she looks so sad and hurt instead of 'you'll pay for this'-type of reaction.
I agree.
Thank you for the Translation miss kat :)
