Chapter 45: Can you forget? Translated by : Kaori Hasegawa Sponsored and brought to you by : Alberto Mazzetto Story and Art by : Masakazu Katsura <167> Ai: Wow, it looks kinkier than being naked!! It's a bum, and a bum! Wow, they're raised so high!! It's taken off!! And Taken off!! <168> Ai: Everyone looks so dynamic, just like a living adult magazine. Don't you think everyone's more bold than the people at the pool? But, I can understand how they feel if I look at this huge sea. Youta: Ai-chan is so excited. So, it was good that we came to the sea. Ai: Well, I don't want to be left behind. I'll get naked too!! Sound: Gui. Youta: Stop that!! <169> Moemi: Wa. Youta: Moemi-chan. At last. Moemi-chan is cute. Now, more than Moemi-chan, who is so cute and I liked so much, I like Nobuko-chan. It's not logical to fall in love. I. came here to forget about Nobuko-chan. <170> Ai: Hey! Moemi!! Let's be naked together!! Moemi: Kya. Sound: Gui. Youta: Are you stupid!! Oh yeah, what about Takashi? Where is he? Sound: Karu. Moemi: .Said he's stay in the room. I've never known such a person! Youta: Troublesome. <171> Youta: I'll go get him. Ai: Ah. Sound: Za. Ai: Wait a minute, Youta!! Youta: Um? Ai: You came here to enjoy yourself, right? Be careful. Sound: Gyu. Ai: That's all. Youta: Ah. I see. So she saw me when I became depressed that time. She did such a thing. Sound: Gui. Youta: Ooops. I feel like I was tricked. <172> Takashi: You're being impatient. I came with you, so it's enough, right. Youta: It's not enough. Moemi-chan was sulking. Takashi: Why would she be sulking, she's the one who left me. Youta: But, she still likes you. Moemi: Kya--. Ai: Go Moemi!! Sound: Za za zaa. <173> Takashi: I think you can't forget about her. You. About the girl, Nobuko. Youta: What? Why do you suddenly bring that up. Right now, we're talking about you. Takashi: You were so in love with her. But you're persuading me about her without any hesitation. Doesn't that mean there is a girl you like as much or more than Moemi? Or, even though you say you can forget about Nobuko, then maybe there's someone you like without knowing about it. <174> Youta: It was a shock to me. Takashi's words, "there's someone you like without knowing about it.," rather than, "Can't forget about Nobuko-chan,". Who could it be?. So. Is it Ai-chan? Nobuko: Good. See, it looks clean. Matsui: Isn't the hair cropped unevenly? <175> Nobuko: Just a little bit. Uneven? Hehe. Matsui: Oh no, would you take the responsibility. Seriously, I want you to take responsibility. Nobuko: Okay. Okay, what do you want me to do? <176> Matsui: Take responsibility for being nice to me. I can't forget about you anymore. Nobuko: Matsui-kun. Sorry. Matsui-kun. But, I can't forget about Senpai like this. Like this. <177> Ai: The sea is fun. And the hot spring feels good. I love this trip. I wonder if something happened to Youta. Since he seemed down after he went to talk to Takashi. <178> Moemi: Just for us. Ai: All reserved for us! Come here quickly! Sound: Chapo. Ai: I envy your big breasts. Moemi: Don't. Please don't look so closely, Ai-chan. <179> Ai: Has Takashi ever touched those breasts? Moemi: Of course not. Nothing is going on between us. Ai: Well, well. Something is written on your face, "I like Takashi-kun." Moemi: It isn't! Sound: Pui. Ai: Wow, it's written here, too. Oh-- It's written in such a complicated place, too. Sound: Basha basha. Moemi: Kya. Don't touch there!! Gee, you're kinky! Ai: You can't pretend since it's written in so many places! <180> Moemi: .It sounds very pitiful, but you're right. It's hard to forget if I start to really like. Ai: .Got to really like, huh. Then Youta might no be able to forget about Nobuko-chan, as well. Moemi: What? You look like it wouldn't be good for you if he couldn't forget about her. Ai: What are you saying. It's a big misunderstanding! Oh no!! Of course not. I wouldn't think it'd be bad for me, I already made up my mind to be his sister. No--. Gee. <181> Youta: I can't give up Nobuko-chan. I wonder if I should push and push and try to be able to go out with here. No. She would say she wouldn't go out with me no matter what. Then, maybe I should try to forget about her. Shit. I don't know what I should do. Ai: Yo. Youta: Should I call her. I might get some answer if I heard her voice. <182> N's Family: She said she was going to meet someone at five, and left. Do you want me to tell her to call you back? Youta: Ah. No. I'll call her back, so. yes. Thank you. Who's she going to meet. Is it Matsui. Sound: Gacha. Youta: That's right, I'll listen to my answering machine. Something might be from Nobuko-chan. Sound: Pi po. Machine: Pi--. Sixteen messages. Youta: !. So many. Machine: Pi--. I'll call you back later. Pi--. This is Nobuko. Good night. Pi--. Are you out somewhere?. Pi--. I'll call you back around noon. Pi--. Gacha. Pi--. I'll be home around eight, so please call me. Pi--. I wanted to meet you and tell you, but. I take back what I said about, "I'll do my best to start hating you." Youta: Eh. No kidding. Sound: Doki doki doki doki doki doki doki. <183> Machine: Pi-- Good morning, Senpai. I'll be home today, so give me a call. Pi-- Gacha. Pi-- .I'll call you later. Pi-- Are you ignoring me.? Pi-- I hate you!! Pi-- .Stupid. Pi-- Call me, Senpai. Pi-- Please, I want to talk to you. Youta: What should I do. What can I do. I want to get a hold of Nobuko-chan right now! What should I do, what should I do!? If this happens, I should have stayed at home. Sound: Ota ota. Machine: Pi-- .I don't know my feelings now. Anyway, I want to see you. I'll wait for you at the boat port at Inogashira Park at five o'clock. Gacha. Pi-- pi-- pi-- pi--. Sound: Ba. Youta: Oh. No. <184> Youta: Ai-chan! It's me! Me! Open up! Sound: Kon kon. Moemi: Oh, just a minute. Ai: What do you want? Moemi-chan is changing now, so you can't come in. Youta: I'll go home first, so I thought I'd tell you that. Ai: Eh!? Why!! Youta: Nobuko-chan is waiting for me! There was a message that she is waiting for me at Inogoshira Park at five! Ai: Five o'clock. It's past six. It'll take more than two hours from here to Tokyo. It's impossible now. Youta: But!! I can't just stay here, anyway, I'll go! <185> Ai: Youta! It's impossible now, don't go!! Youta. Youta: You're acting weird. You're like a different person. Like always, give me your support. Bye, enjoy everyone! Moemi: Wa-Wait, Moteuchi-kun! Ai: Am I not able to control my feelings, without knowing it.
