Free Talk: Namaikizakari [Chapter 77]

To look at the pictures/Chinese scans, go here.

Well, Shou did leave for the party. And, left the two totally shocked by it. Even if Shizuka cannot believe that Shou would do that kind of thing to his own girlfriend, it’s good that he stopped himself from taking advantage of it.

Hehe, he’s pretty much knocking himself on the wall like Yuki for even thinking of taking advantage of it. Haha, as I mentioned to others before. This guy won’t do anything to Yuki nor is he someone Shou should be overly weary about. Lol, he already thinks of himself as a scum for just having that thought.

Yuki is acting okay with it and just letting Shou do want he wants. After all, she thinks that they’re college students and Shou also has his own interpersonal relationships. It’s the usual, ‘I’m mature and I won’t hinder you if you want to go/do something.’ In the end, they both just stare at their ‘no message’ cellphones the whole night. ^^;

The next day, Yuki is still acting cool as if there’s nothing to worry about. Usami-san has to tell her that college isn’t the same as high school since the girls here would prey on Shou. Because of that, Yuki looks suspicious of Shou.

Ah, I wonder if it is good to tell her that or not good to tell her that. ^^; Because either way, it is not good for Shou. She’ll be either ‘ignore’ him or be ‘suspicious’ of him. ^^;; Since Shou is asking directions to the commerce club <- where Usami-san learned about college girls preying on guys, Yuki casually asked what happened to the club.

Shou said that he and Abe left halfway then mentioned a lot of people are asking for his contact number. It does seem that he is trying to get a reaction from her since he even asked if she’ll be angry if he told them. Since Yuki don’t want to act like she doesn’t trust him, Yuki says that she doesn’t mind it. Hehe, sorry, Shou. You need to do more to get her to tell you her true feelings. =P 

Since Yuki seems a bit at a loss or jealous that Shou already have friends, so she quickly left him. Well, that can make one feel ‘outside the group’ since she doesn’t know them. As usual, Shou knows something’s up with Yuki. And as usual, Yuki is thinking that this is all natural. He has his own life in college, she cannot be naïve and think that they’ll always be together like what Shou told her earlier.

And just when Abe and Shou are going to eat, they see ‘stalking’ Shizuka. Abe wanted to tease him that he was hiding from a teacher. Haha, to his anger and shock, girls are looking for Shizuka to eat out with him. Well, the two guys talk seem to be some sort of mutual understanding that Shou and Yuki are too close so Shizuka shouldn’t go too near Yuki.

Shou also knows that he’ll be unhappy that Shizuka and Yuki will have a member-manager relationship since Yuki cannot alienate Shizuka. Apparently, he was just acting childish earlier since he also knew that Shizuka chose the school for the school and not Yuki. Lol, still, Shou is jealous. He’ll allow that kind of interaction between the two but smiling is forbidden. Hehe, of course, being clueless like Yuki, Shizuka doesn’t know why. Even if Abe hinted that it is a weapon. =P 

゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ

And, Yuki has stumbled upon lost in thought Suwa at the storage area. Yuki was concerned that she asked if he’s alright since he looks in pain and uncomfortable. Suwa tells her that he is thinking of the girl he parted with before. Hm...I immediately wondered if that person is like Yuki. Perhaps, Yuki and Shou’s relationship was what he had before?

Suwa start to ask about Shou coming to school. Hm, Yuki does seem to really treat him as someone to talk to since she mentioned about Usami-san’s suggestion to keep Shou on a leash. Suwa’s advice is more on letting go of apprehensions and stay at Shou’s side since they are ‘each other’s sunshine’. So, is that a lesson from his past experience? Perhaps, Shou somehow reminded Suwa of himself before. 

゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ

Anyway, thanks to that, Yuki took the initiative to wait for Shou and invite him to her house. And, he came out with friends and even he asked her if he can go out with them. ^^; She is about to say no but she’s weak against friends begging her to lend Shou to them. So, yup, it’s okay, go with them. She turns to leave with hopes of trying that again next time.

And, it is Shou’s turn to take the initiative to go with her by pretending to have a stomachache. ^^; Haha, he asked her a really direct question, do you care about me as long as I have a stomachache or foot ache. Yes, because that’s how Yuki is programmed to be. =P

゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ

Finally, Shou confronted her why she agreed for him to go to the party. What if he went to some other girl’s house? What if he went out on a date with someone else? Will she say ‘okay’? And why is she always acting mature and why act like a strange when she’s his girlfriend? Why she acted that she doesn’t know when she knows everything about him?

So, Yuki realized that Shou was deliberately making her worried and he’ll do this childish thing at this age. Shou claims he doesn’t know and maybe he returned to being a first year high schooler. She says that rather, it is going back to baby stage and he isn’t a bit cute. So, they made up and have lovey-dovey.

How nice of Shou to re-assure her that a lot of things will happen afterwards and there will be many people he’ll meet but she’s the only one he likes ^^ He knocks his head on hers when she tells him that it is okay for him to go to parties and exchange contact numbers if it’s necessary. Then, she tells him to properly tell her the WORDS HE SAID JUST NOW when they’re alone. =P Hehe, Shou glomps her and cannot wait for them to go home.

゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ω)(ω-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*ﾟ

Well, Yuki thinks that Shou obviously knew that with merely those words, it is enough for her. Actually, it’s more or less mutual. In a way, they are making progress as they trust each other more since it is inevitable that they’ll meet other people. They just have to keep the lovey-dovey so that no one can get in between them.

It is more of a balance of not keeping anyone on a leash and not letting the other do whatever one wants to the point of acting like one doesn’t care. Haha, actually, they do need to improve their ‘reading what the other really thinks rather than basing things on what they say and do’ skills.

Well, the last scene of glum Suwa looking at Yuki again makes me think she reminds him of his ex. Perhaps, after that break up, he tried to cope with his loss by being a playboy. Is that a set-up for Usami-san to heal his heart type of scenario?
