Behind the other carriage, Yusei tensely
sees Kou leaning close to Ren. Flustered, he looks away and wonders out loud
what’s up with that person [/not sure if it is Ren or Kou]...
At the other carriage, Kou tells Ren not to
move. Holding out his finger, he happily says, “Okay, I already got it! I’ve
took out the fallen eyelash.” Ren thanks him and says that no wonder her eye
was hurting a while ago. She is surprised when Kou holds her shoulder that she
asks, “...Kou?”
Kou says that just now, he is very happy
that she helped him out like that in front of her brother. “...I feel that...
*blushing* if I have a dynamic romance with Manami, it is good if the other
party is Manami...”
Blushing Ren says huh...!!? “What...what are
you saying, junior high brat. *waving arms around* I already have someone I
like...” Kou nervously tells her that she is also a junior high student. “Don’t
recklessly move around. It’s very dangerous--”
He loses his balance and accidentally
kisses Ren’s forehead. Backing away, Kou blushes and quickly apologizes. Ren is
stunned. She thinks that her forehead has been kissed and it is her first!!
“But, it isn’t from the person I like...
ah...it shouldn’t be like this. *gets off the Ferris Wheel with Kou* No...
*holds face* It is just an accident!! It’s not counted. Not counted...”
She is surprised when someone suddenly grabs
her wrist. It is Yusei who says that they’re going home. He drags her away as
Ren can only say, eh!? “Wai...wait up!”
Watching that, Kou says ah, is that for
real, dragged [her] away like that... Pointing at them, Kou asks Manami, “...is
that really okay?” Manami darkly asks how can it possibly be okay. Kou
nervously agrees with her.
Crumpling the amusement park’s map, Manami
mutters, “...brother is obviously mine...---” At the apartment’s hallway, while
walking behind Yusei, Ren thinks that it feels that he is really angry again.
Yusei asks if she likes that guy.
Ren asks if the guy he is referring to Kou.
“I’ve already said that he’s a friend.” Yusei says, “Then, would you kiss a
friend?” Taken aback, Ren asks if he saw it.
Yusei says ya, so earlier, she was telling
him not to judge someone based on one’s appearance. “This is what one had
personally seen with one’s own eyes. No matter who, anyone can do that kind of
thing, right? Whether it is him or even you, I hate that kind of frivolous
people [like you], the most.”
He is surprised to see tears forming on
Ren’s eyes. Yusei nervously says, “Ha...wha...what is it again...” Ren says,
“...because I myself was also startled by it. *wipes tears* Because it is only
touching of the lips...
...Even if I’m really sorry for imouto [‘s
body]... You also... there’s no need to say it that way... (This is really
bad... I obviously don’t want to cry at all. But I absolutely do not want to be
seen as that kind of very frivolous person by Hidaka...)”
Somewhat flustered Hidaka tensely says,
“—Yaotome...” They were interrupted by someone asking, “What are you two doing
here.” Ren turns to see a beautiful well-dressed woman.
Opening the door of the apartment, the
woman asks if they aren’t going to school? “Ah- that’s right. It is summer
vacation right now!” Looking at Yusei, Ren asks ah...that is... She wonders if
she is Yusei’s mother...?
Yusei calls out to the woman, “How come you
are here?” Ren is puzzled by Yusei’s response. The woman says, “How come I’m here?
That’s really cold of you, Yusei. Saying that to your mother who rarely comes
home.”
Ren thinks that her tone is a bit
strange... Ren says, “That...that is right. Obviously, it isn’t easy for mama
to come home. Then, welcome back. (I have to act like imouto-...) Wo...work is
definitely very busy, right?”
Opening the refrigerator, the mother asks,
“Work? What are you talking about? Manami, you are already a junior high
student. You should know it already, right. I’m living together with my
boyfriend at a different apartment. It is because of a quarrel that I’m in a
bad mood so I came here.”
Ren is surprised. “Eh..!? So, what Hidaka
said before...” She recalled Yusei telling her that their mother doesn’t come
home much because of work. The mother notices the popcorn tumbler around Ren’s
neck. She asks, “What is this, you guys already went to the amusement park?”
Puzzled Ren says, huh... Putting the cola
can on the counter, the mother shouts, “You obviously just got into an accident
recently. Yusei! What the heck are you doing? *points at Ren*...
...What if by any chance Manami’s body
cannot handle it or she faints again!? Do you even think of how much more trouble
it brings me, every time this happens since I’ve been called out? Didn’t I tell
you to properly take care of Manami!”
Stunned Ren wonders what she is talking
about. Yusei goes in front of Ren and says that there’s no need for her [the
mother] to say that, he also knows that. Thinking that this kinds of attitude
is strange, Ren shouts, “Auntie [/obasan]!!”
The mother is surprised that ‘Manami’
called her ‘auntie’. Ren continues, “Hidaka is doing it properly! Every day,
instead of you, he cooks and makes bento for me. In the morning and after
school dismissal, even if he complains, he still waits for me...
*points at the mother* He already went over
the top in protecting and taking care of imouto...!! You don’t know anything.
You basically don’t have any right to say that Hidaka didn’t do well...!!”
The mother tensely asks what, the two of
them are... “...Hmph, forget it, forget it. I’ll go somewhere else. I’m--leaving.”
And, she left. Sitting on the sofa, Yusei sighs and says, “You...keep on
talking and talking that you forgot that you are Manami, right.”
Ren looks aghast. Holding her hands
together, she apologizes. “So...sorry!! I’ve driven auntie away...!!” Slightly
smiling Yusei says that she is really an idiot... Ren looks sad that Yusei
tells her not to show that kind of expression. “I don’t need sympathy. Anyway,
she’ll come back again very soon--”
Yusei is surprised when Ren suddenly hugs
him. She exclaims, “Hidaka, you obviously did your best... yet you were still
treated with that kind of attitude. No wonder your character had become so
ill-mannered!!!”
Yusei protests, “Hey. Who are you saying to
have an ill-mannered character?” Ren continues, “Even if you aren’t a bit frank
and even if you’re very awful but you also have a very nice side... For imouto,
you really did your best... I really know this part...!”
After looking surprised, Yusei’s expression
soften. He holds her shoulder and says, “...in short, you...--” Then, Yusei
sees slightly blushing Ren’s real face. He holds her face and leans close to
her. This made Ren blush and become nervous. She mutters, “...Hida...Hidaka...”
They were startled when her cellphone
rings. Sitting down on the floor, Ren thinks that startled her to death. “What
was that situation just now... what just happened!?”
Standing up, Yusei says, “I’m sorry... what
I said on the way back is over the top. ...also, thank you...” Blushing Ren
says ah, ya. Looking at her cellphone, she says ah, it’s Kou who just called
now. This made Yusei angry.
Yusei grabs her phone and says, “Give that
to me. I have something to tell him.” Ren shouts, ah, what is he doing to say.
Yusei says how can he consider it nothing when she was forcefully kissed
without any reason.
Ren protests that it was an accident. “It
is his lips on my forehead. It is simply a very, very light touch, that’s all.
That isn’t considered as a forced kissed.” Surprised Yusei says ha, forehead?
Puzzled Ren says yes, didn’t he see it?
Yusei is speechless because he thought that they kissed on the lips based on
the two’s position. Ren asks, “So, where did you think I was kissed? Ah, you
thought that I was kissed on the lips? So, you’re so angry?” He says that she’s
so annoying-
Yusei grabs her arm and starts to viciously
wipe her forehead with his other arm. Ren shouts ouch...ouch, ouch, ouch, that
hurts. Holding her reddish forehead, Ren tells him to stop, what is he doing— Yusei
scolds her not to let anyone easily kiss her, understand, stupid.
Ren is moved by that. She looks away and
apologizes. “Sorry, for letting your important imouto’s forehead get stained by
someone!! Even if it is like that, you also treated me quite rough!! I am a
girl, okay. Can’t you be a bit nicer~ It is also okay to give me a ‘let me come
and cover it up [with a]’ kiss~~”
Aghast Yusei says, “Ha? What kind of
daydream are you having!? Is your brain really still being sweet and stupid?” Holding
the doorknob to go inside, Ren says, “Ya, ya, everything is stupid. It’s sweet
and stupid, right--”
Yusei suddenly grabs her shoulder. Ren
turns around and asks, what is it... Yusei then kisses her on the forehead.
Surprised and puzzled Ren blushes as she looks at Yusei.
Slightly blushing, Yusei says, “...you’re the
one who said that you want that, right? So, don’t be embarrassed.” In shock, Ren
thinks, “..wha ha~~!? Wait a minute...
*Yusei walks through the door. He nervously
glances at her and slightly blushes.* Right now... *blushing and holds her
forehead* he isn’t giving it... to imouto, right...!?”
Comment: That’s much ado about an accidental kiss + misunderstanding. But
being the ‘other guy’, Kou did a good job in making Yusei jealous even if it
isn’t deliberate.
For Kou, that kiss is bad luck because he
was in the midst of confessing. Ah, wait, maybe it is good luck or else, he
would have been rejected outright. One thing is for sure, Manami isn’t happy
that her date got interrupted like that. It doesn’t help that she is losing her
hold on her brother.
Yusei was really mean to jump into
conclusion about Ren. She is becoming more confused with his negative reactions
towards her because she assumes that she is ‘hurting’ Manami’s body. Haha, but
then Yusei’s kiss would confuse her more.
Well, for now, because of what happened
with the mother, their relationship had become somewhat closer. From the mother
incident, we learn why Yusei had become overly protective of Manami.
The mother has passed on her duty to him
and he’ll get a scolding if anything happens since she’ll be called out to deal
with it. I guess because of Yusei’s overprotectiveness, Manami thought that it
is the romantic kind.
Hm...with that kind of mother, I’m not too
sure that she’ll change as the story goes. Like, she’ll suddenly be caring and
everything. She doesn’t seem to care much since she doesn’t seem that concerned
with Manami after the accident. Anyway, with the progress of the two’s
relation, it is likely that Manami would want to do something to stop it. Scans

I wonder where their father is.anyway the mother is no comment, Manami is like her in a way both don't care of other peopple or surround only the boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteI like see Yusei getting jealous and i like the part when he hug back Ren(even if a little)
After what Ren said to Yusei i wonder if her feeling are exposed now.
Kou speak frank but he is also cute and smart he will understand something is off between Yusei,Ren and Manami
Hm...good question. Since Yusei said that their mother is a single parent, I guess we can just assume the possibilities in that premise = dead, separated/divorced, etc.
DeleteYup.
Hehe, cannot say actually...Yusei seems to be a bit dense. I'm not sure he is even aware that he is jealous.
Yup.
Maybe yusei is already inlove with ren prior to the accident but he isnt aware of it himself thats why he keeps seeing ren's true face. Like mother like daughter i guess.
ReplyDeleteThat's a possibility.
DeleteYa...
