Chapter 89: The Flu Translated by : Kaori Hasegawa Sponsored and brought to you by : Alberto Mazzetto Proofread by : Mike Chapman and Shampoo Story and Art by : Masakazu Katsura <146> Ai: Takashi-kun!? Why... Takashi: I saw you getting out of that gap...and I was worried, so. Ai: But... you waited for me in this rain... <147> Takashi: ...Putting up a tent in a place like this, it's like you're hiding... It doesn't look normal at all... Did something happen between you and Youta... Ai: It's none of your business. Takashi: Fu... None of my business, huh. Takashi: I just wanted to get involved in something that wasn't my business once. <148> Takashi: For now, why don't you come to my house. You'll freeze like that. Ai: Warm... Sound: Gata gata. Ai: Takashi-kun is warm, so my cold body is hard on my heart... It's been a long time since someone was kind to me... Sound: Gata gata. Ai: But... Nothing better will happen if I'm saved now... I have only forty more days of life. Youta is going out with Moemi-chan, so there is hardly any chance of becoming human. Ai: And, if I get involved with Takashi... I bet it doesn't matter, but Youta and Moemi-chan's balance may mess up. <149> Ai: It's okay... Please, leave me alone... I...like it here. Takashi: I...see. <150> Takashi: I guess 'none of my business' doesn't quite fit my nature. I feel like if one says okay, then it's okay. Takashi: What would Youta do? Sound: Zaaa. <151> Sound: Gata gata. Ai: ...In the end... I should have asked him to stay... Why did I worry about many things... Ai: Ah... I feel numb... Ai: Co-Cold... <152> Youta: Uh... It feels bad. The underwear is also wet... Youta: Gee... Where did Ai go... Anyway, I have to find her, otherwise, I can't make a picture book... Sound: Tyurururu. Youta: Hello. Youta: Ah... Moemi-chan. <153> Moemi: What's up? You sound down. Youta: Eh? You think so... I'm not. Youta: W-Well... Moemi: Yes. Youta: I'm naked now... Moemi: Eh? Youta: I didn't have an umbrella, so I'm soaked with rain... I'm going to go take a bath. Youta: I'll call you back, sorry. Moemi: Okay, sure. Youta: Bye. Sound: Tsu-. Tsu-. Moemi: ...Somehow, he's cold... It's okay if he calls me back... Sound: Tsu- tsu-. <154> Sign: [The Next Morning...] Youta: It's very room, the rain... How long will it last. Youta: Anyway, I have to find out where Ai-chan is today... If she puts her tent up in the city, I should be able to find her soon... <155> Sound: Goho goho goho. Ai: U... A horrible fever... I guess I've got that thing called the flu... I feel a chill and sore all over my body... The flu is terrible. Ai: Dammit, I want to go to the bathroom... Goho goho. I don't want to move, but I have to go... Ai: U. Sound: Guwan guwan. Sound: Becha. Ai: There's no other way... I'll do it there... Goho. <156> Youta: Shit... She's not here... She might... If she left this town, it's trouble... Youta: Ha. I forgot about one place! I thought she left the room, but... She must be there! Youta: Empty. Youta: ...Anyway... I have to look for her step by step in the city... <157> Sound: Tyurururu tyurururu. Sound: Tyurururu tyurururur tyurururu. Moemi: I guess he's not there. The answering machine hasn't turned on either... Sound: Purururu purururu. Moemi: He said he would call me back, but why doesn't he? Ai: Ha ha ha. Ai: Ha ha. Gu. Ai: ...It feels so painful... ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. <158> Sound: Purorororo. Purororo. Purororo. Moemi: At this hour... Moemi: He hasn't been back... What's wrong? Moteuchi-kun. Sound: Tyururururu. Tyurururu. Gogogogogo. Sound: Tyurururu. Gogogogo. <159> Ai: U... U... U... Sound: Gata gata gata. Ai: Ha ha. Sound: Zukin zukin zukin. Ai: Help...me... Ah... My head...is going to break... U... U... It's like I'm dying... Somebody... Somebody... <161> Youta: Day break. Youta: Oh yeah... If I look down from the top, I can see since it's bright. <162> Youta: Um. Youta: If I think about it, it's impossible to find that small tent from the top of this building... End of Chapter
