Chapter 48: Both, Rejected People Translated by : Kaori Hasegawa Sponsored and brought to you by : Alberto Mazzetto Story and Art by : Masakazu Katsura <42> Natsumi: Hey, hey. You're looking indecent and staggering. Why don't you rest a little more. <43> Youta: You're noisy. If you're going to complain, then don't follow me. Natsumi: I can't leave you alone like that, damaged. And, I have something to ask you. Would you let me stay over in return for rescuing you from danger. Youta: Eh!? Sound: Pon. Natsumi: Let's be friends, both rejected people. Youta: What about rejected people! <44> Youta: We waited for the first train and left for my house. I think it doesn't matter whether I sleep or not, since it's morning. Sound: Puuaaan Dadan dadan dadan. Sound: Guoooo. Gogaga gooo. Sound: Guoooo. Gogogo. Guoooo gooo. Youta: Ah. What a day. I came to Tokyo from Izu, even though Ai-chan tried to stop me, only to be rejected by Nobuko-chan, and was hit a lot by weird people. And, am followed by a weird girl. Youta: I wonder if Nobuko-chan is sleeping well right now, or has a little pain. Natsumi: Um--. Mitaka, huh. I haven't been here in a long time. I used to live here before. <45> Youta: Oh. Natsumi: What are you doing. Let's go to your house, quickly. Youta: Even though we were both rejected, we are different. She's so bright because she didn't like the guy so much? Youta: No, the other way. Huh. Youta: She's completely different from me. In the beginning, she'd be really depressed if she were rejected, like me. Natsumi: Big house. Natsumi: I think I've been around here before. How do you read your name? Youta: Moteuchi. Natsumi: Moteuchi!? <46> Natsumi: I think I've heard that name somewhere before. Moteuchi. Natsumi: Oh, a big yard!! This is nice! Sound: Do sa. Sound: Teki paki. Youta: A tent!? What are you doing!! Natsumi: Yeah. I don't have any place to stay because I left home. I decided to be taken care of here, so. <47> Youta: I can't let a runaway girl stay here!! Why don't you go home. Your parents must be worried! Natsumi: Since you mentioned it, would your parents be upset with this? Youta: I don't have a mom, and my dad doesn't get home too often. So, not particularly. Natsumi: Then it's okay! Let's be friendly since we were both rejected. Youta: That doesn't matter now. Youta: And would you stop saying it, that we're both rejected people. My level of pain is different than yours! <48> Natsumi: Wow, the inside is huge, too. Natsumi: So, you're like, living alone in the big house. Youta: Well. No. With my cousin. Natsumi: With your cousin? Don't you get tired of living with a man. Youta: What man? Why does it have to be a man. I just said it was my cousin! Do I look so away from women. Shit! Natsumi: What's behind this? Youta: Ah. What am I doing. Bringing a weird girl in. Well, it's okay. I didn't have to think so deeply about Nobuko-chan because I was interrupted by her. <49> Ai: Youta! Youta: Ai-chan. Ai: What happened, these cuts. <50> Natsumi: Oh. Natsumi: Oh oh oh. Youta: Ah. Well. Ai: Oh oh oh. Natsumi: What is this obscene looking girl!? Sound: Gui.. Natsumi: Hah. So, no bra, like I thought. Ai: What!? What!? If you want to look, I'll show them to you!? Natsumi: No thanks! Such small breasts aren't of interest to me. <51> Sound: Zaki zaki. Ai: Small breasts. Ai: Who is she!! Youta: Ah. Well. Natsumi: Oh. Your cousin is a girl. So, you mean her!? Natsumi: Are you guys in an incestuous relationship!? Youta: No! Ai: That's right! Youta: No!! No!! Ai: Ouch. <52> Natsumi: If you're normal, wouldn't you get excited with that kind of girl wandering around you. Youta: She's my relative! How can I!! Ai: But we're not cousins, really. Natsumi: But, you've used her figure in your bed, right*. *This implies using her as an image to masturbate. Sound: Ka--. Youta: Of course not!! Whatever, get out!! Natsumi: Don't get excited. Stupid. Ai: Oh, I see. Youta got hurt because you did!! Natsumi: Not that way, I helped him. This guy was dumped, so he became reckless and beaten. <53> Ai: Were you rejected?. Natsumi: Actually, I was dumped as well, so we're both rejected people. Youta: Just a minute. Youta: I told you many times!! Don't make yourself out as the same as me!! I bet in your case you were just playing, right!? I was serious!! Natsumi: You. Of course are rejected like that. I hate people like you. Youta: .Clean up if you hate me. <54> Youta: Why did you come home? Everyone's still at the sea, right? Ai: Yeah. I left right after you, but. I didn't know where you went, so I was going to wait for you at the house. It's good that I had a spare key. Youta: You're stupid. You'd be better off to stay and enjoy it with them. Ai: I feel sorry that Youta was rejected by Nobuko-chan, but deep inside, I feel happy. What a person I am. Youta doesn't think of me as a girl, so I have to kill this feeling! Ai: I have to kill. Ai: Hey! Youta. You're going to sleep now, right! When you get up! Let's go somewhere!! Sound: Ba. Youta: Good idea, shall we. Ai: Good!! Forget all your troubles and enjoy! A continuation of the sea!! <55> Youta: Well, I'll go to sleep. Ai: Okay, g'night. Youta: Well. Don't worry about what the girl said. Well, about being used in the bedroom. What. I've never done that at all, so. Ai: Of course! I would kill you if you did! Youta: I think about you as my sister, so. I think like that, so. Ai: Oh. I feel comfortable. <56> Sound: Shu. Sound: Jari. Sound: Gaba. Natsumi: --Kouji. <57> Ai: Youta. are you asleep already? Ai: Gee. Sleeping in the same clothes. Youta: Ku-- ku--. Ai: I'm your sister. It's okay for me to sleep with you, right. Sound: Piku. Tsu. Sound: Gaba. <58> Ai: Yo.Youta! Ai: Eh?! Sound: Doki. Ai: Just a minute, Youta. Suddenly. What. Youta: .chan .chan. Youta: Nobuko-chan. Nobuko-chan. <59> Ai: Stupid. Half-asleep. Sound: Gyu. Ai: I'm a Video Girl. So, this is what I'm supposed to be. Even a substitute. I don't mind if I can be reliable for Youta's heart.
