Then, Keita calls out to Reimi what she is doing here. After
the girls greeted him, Keita tells Reimi not to go to his house again and go
home. Reimi angrily says that she is just telling this person who doesn’t
know-- Keita sternly says that the one who betrayed him first is her and don’t
make him say anything more. Reimi is really flustered. She points at Himari and
asks if perhaps, he likes this girl but she totally doesn’t think that way.
This irks Keita that he shouts that things have already reached this stage and
what more is she thinking. “So, I really hate girls. Shut up and leave.” Before
leaving, Reimi retorts back that he is an idiot. While Himari is still stunned,
Keita puts his arm around Himari and tells her what she is standing there for,
hurry and go in. Keita is surprised that Himari didn’t react like blushing and
shouting for him to let go. Seeing her expression, Keita lets her go and asks
what did Reimi told her. Thinking that she actually wanted to hear this kind of
things from Keita himself, Himari mutters that it is about his mother. Looking
displeased, Keita asks what’s with that expression of hers, could it be that she’s
sympathizing him? Himari tries to say that it isn’t so but Keita says that this
isn’t fun at all. He tells her that it was fun because her reaction isn’t the
same with those others. Himari is flustered upon hearing that. He angrily
shouts for her to get lost and she’s annoying to death. Then, he goes in the
house and slams the door at stunned Himari. Himari thinks that in within his
deepest heart’s past-- The next day, Himari tries to calm herself and act
normal. While Keita is eating breakfast, she greets him a good morning but he
immediately stands up and says that he’s going. This surprises Himari and
puzzles her mother. At school, he continues to snub her. At the train, Himari
is having a hard time since there are a lot of guys. She sees Keita looking at
her but he quickly looks away. Himari is flustered for things became like this
and even if she always wanted to get rid of him, but right now, she felt like
crying.
Side story 1: During
junior high 3rd year, a girl asks didn’t she told him that she likes him. Keita
says that she one-sidedly misunderstand things for he never told her that they
are going steady. The girl got angry and shouts for him to quit kidding around,
stupid. And, the girl left. Feeling that life has no meaning, Keita bends down
and thinks that girls are annoying. At home, Reimi comes and says that she came
again. He asks what it is. To his surprise, Reimi, who is carrying some
groceries, invites herself in. He shouts at her about going in by herself but
Reimi tells him not to be mean to ask ‘what it is’ to his girlfriend. She says
that she is worried about his and his father’s dinner so she came to help out.
As Reimi goes to cook in the kitchen, Keita wonders when she became his
girlfriend. He lets her off because she’s quite cute. While cooking, Reimi says
that she heard someone confessed to him again today. Keita says that it has
nothing to do with him. Reimi says that geez, he’s saying that again when his
relationship with that girl is quite good. She comments that he is really ‘refuses
nobody, [and] upon leaving [he] won’t chase after’ and she’s definitely the
special one. While putting his arms around him, Reimi says that she would be
very troubled if there is some other girl who is very special to him besides
her. Keita complains that she’s a hindrance and get off him. Keita thinks about
special..that interesting girl existed during elementary, she always cries,
prudent, like a doll. Yet, she didn’t cry over the most important thing which
means that she is a very unyielding[/courageous] girl. Flipping through his
book, Keita thinks that it has been three years since she moved away and it is
possible that they won’t see each other again. Reimi asks if his mother
contacted him lately. Keita says no. Reimi comments that person is really heartless
to abandon him and his father then left with her lover. Keita shouts that he
doesn’t want to hear about his mother. Reimi apologizes. Keita also apologizes
for his outburst. He is always jittery when his mother is talked about. His
mother would say nice to hear words in order to come near him, and it seems
that everyone [girls] is like that.
At the convenient store, his friend asks if Keita has no
plans for today for he is always with some unknown girl so today is quite rare.
Reading some manga with his two friends, Keita asks isn’t it good that he
occasionally cultivate friendship with them. Glasses guy says that he is
talking big. Glasses guy notices something and quickly shouts for everyone to
hide. While Keita complains about this, glasses guy tells him to look outside.
They peek out to see Reimi happily walking with an older guy. His friends say
that it is Reimi who seems to be with a college student and wasn’t she going
steady with Keita. Recalling his mother who left them, Keita says, “Who knows-?”
Keita totally didn’t feel hurt or anything upon seeing the two. He only has a
‘in the end, it is like that’ kind of feeling and girls are all the same. And,
he has that kind of thoughts until high school. His father who was betrayed
once has chosen to re-marry. Keita arrives home and bumps into Himari, the one
whom he doesn’t think of seeing again is in his house. While Keita asks why she
is here, their parents introduce everyone. Keita and Himari are shock for they
have become siblings. Later on, Himari is trembling while peeking into his
room. Keita thinks that expression hasn’t changed a bit since they were young.
He shows her a letter for Ryou that she has dropped and calls her disgusting
that until now, she hasn’t given it to Ryou but cherishingly hid it. While Keita
is thinking that girls are stupid for she’s going to cry.., Himari tells him
that she’ll endure his ridicules for their parents but if he does something to
her mother, she won’t forgive him. While Keita is surprised by that, Himari
tells him that after her father passed away, her mother brought her up by
herself so this time, she is going to definitely make her mother attain
happiness so she absolutely won’t lose to him. Amused, Keita thinks that he
always thought girls are the same but.. Just as Himari goes out the door since
she has told him what she wants to say, he stops her and pushes her down the
bed. He thinks that in the end, this girl can make him properly enjoy it[? Perhaps
he meant life or have fun ^^;].
Side story 2:
Keita’s friend asks how long he has been living with Himari. Keita says around
2 months. His friend asks if this kind of thing happened = Keita suddenly goes
in the bathroom that towel-covered Himari shouts lewd wolf. Keita says that it
seems that it hasn’t happened. And, even if it was just a joke, it actually
happened. Keita suddenly enters the bathroom. While removing her clothes,
Himari is wearing just her underwear. After a loud shout, Keita goes out the
door and got hit by something on the head. Keita shouts that she should have
locked the door upon entering it, stupid. Himari shouts that the door is
already closed and he’s the pervert who came in without knocking. Keita retorts
back that he isn’t interested in that repulsive body type that even if she is
in her underwear, he won’t think of those kinds of thoughts. Himari peeks out
and darkly says so he saw and in the end, he’s a pervert peeping tom. Keita
shouts for her not to shout out loud those weird things. He exclaims that it is
obviously an accident. While walking away, Keita thinks that light pink isn’t
bad at all. Later on, after a few days, Keita has just finished taking a bath.
He stands up and the door opens. It is Himari who looks shock for Keita is
totally naked. And the next few days after that, Himari won’t talk to him as if
she was the one who suffered. While Keita is grumpily wondering if he is mold,
blushing Himari thinks that she saw it, saw it, saw it. <- Chinese translator
notes: she saw his little mushroom.
Comment: Keita’s
background reminds me of Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu’s Kyouta. So, does having a
bad mother and bad ‘girlfriends’ give Keita the right to be a jerk? Actually,
before that, he has already been bullying Himari. ^^; Since Himari is too nice,
Keita and Reimi made her feel guilty for things that she ought to be angry
about because of how they treated her. Sometimes, I hope that Himari has more
guts like what she showed in the first chapter/side story 1 flashback rather
than always cowering and timid like this. I wonder if that scolding would
finally make Reimi back-off for good. She really has a thick face to say those
things to Himari when she obviously two-timed Keita even as she fully knowing
of his problem with girls, thanks to his mother. And of course, as mentioned in
the side story, Keita has a bad habit on venting at others when his mother is
mentioned. So now, Himari seems like the ‘bad guy’ when she didn’t do anything
wrong and being a ‘nice good girl’, she feels bad that she is being treated
that way even if she did wanted that before – for each other to mind their own
business. I’m kind of hoping that Himari won’t easily give in since perhaps
Keita is just doing some reverse psychology on her to make her pay attention to
him now that he’s snubbing her. I would have wanted Ryou to step in around this
time but the mangaka is tempering his involvement to give more chances to Keita
because the end would most probably be Himari x Keita. Lastly, the side story 2 is amusing ^^ Scans
