Chapter 115: Separation Kiss - The Day Ai Disappears Translated by : Kaori Hasegawa Sponsored and brought to you by : Alberto Mazzetto Proofread by : Mike Chapman and Shampoo Story and Art by : Masakazu Katsura <128> Rolex: You...didn't take the pill. Youta: Yes... Youta: I took it... I have a power stronger than that drug... Do you want me to tell you what kind of power that is... The word you hate... Sound: Piku. Sound: Ka. Rolex: Shut up! Sound: Bi. <129> Youta: Whatever you do is meaningless. I'm different than before! I made up my mind to throw my life away even!! Youta: I! Won't!! Quit loving!!! Ai, anymore! Rolex: Shut up!! Sound: Ka. Rolex: Such a thing like love is!! It's an illusion!! <130> Rolex: "Love" is a flowery word used to fill one's desires... That's love! Humans are the animal who love themselves the most. I can't forgive the narcissist who talks about love. Sound: Zuga. Youta: Gu! Don't you...envy? Sound: Piku. Sound: Su. Rolex: I could calm down because you told me something so stupid. Ai was almost going to end playing. <131> Rolex: I'll let you wake up from the illusion of "love." You must be able to do that, because you're pure-minded. You don't have to waste time being sad or feeling pain, if you become more pure of mind and know the life of love. That's our goal. Sound: Kachi:. Sound: Wiiiiiin. Ai: Kyaaa. Youta: Ai!! Sound: Ba. Rolex: Fu. <132> Ai: Hello. I'm Ai Amano, sixteen years old. Nice to meet you. Sound: Niko. <133> Youta: Ai... Youta: Ai-chan.... Ai: You look down... <134> Youta: He did such a horrible thing... I wasn't going to lose, whatever happened... I was thinking everything would start now... Rolex: She was going to disappear in a few seconds. You should thank me because you can be with her three more months. Youta: Ai-chan isn't here anymore.... Ai: Why are you so down? Youta: I lost someone I loved. Ai: Oh... <135> Ai: I might not be enough for you, but... I'll do my best to comfort you. Youta: Dammit... This is the end... It's the end, and a waste of the efforts of the old man and Ai. Youta: Is it impossible to beat him, no matter how much I try... Sound: Su. Sound: Fuwa. <136> Ai: You can do whatever you want to me. I'll listen to everything you, Moteuchi-kun, want. Youta: I can't look at her... She looks like Ai-chan, but her mind isn't Ai-chan's. Youta: If the VCR hadn't been broken, Ai-chan would've been like this... If it were that time, I might be happy as well. I would give myself up to a moment of pleasure, and after three months everything would go back to normal, just like nothing happened... I think then... Like he said, I might think love was meaningless... Youta: But... Youta: Don't... Ai: Eh? ...Don't you like kinky things?... Ai: Then... What can I do for you? What would make you happy? Ai: Tell me anything, Moteuchi-kun. <137> Youta: I love you, Ai-chan... I will never forget you... Ai: No...!! <138> Ai: Let me out of here!! <139> Moemi: Ai-chan! Moemi: Do your best!! Ai-chan! Trust strongly in your feeling of love towards Moteuchi-kun!! <140> Ai: Uu... Moemi: Do your best! Ai-chan!! Ai: U. U. U. U. Sound: Zaki zaki zaki zaki. <141> Ai: Kuaaaaa!! Youta: Ai. Sound: Gata gata gata. Youta: Ai-chan!! <142> Ai: I love you...too...Youta... <143> Youta: Ai... Ai: U U U I! Rolex: Oh... She's in trouble again... Then, I'll recover her. Youta: No, you can't. She's not yours anymore. Youta: She just left from your hands now! <144> Sound: So. Ai: Um... Rolex: What are you doing!! Youta: I'm going to break the VCR. Rolex: Such an idiot! You can't see her anymore if you do it! Youta: That's right. Rolex: Fu. Don't bluff me. You don't have the courage to lose AI. Youta: ...I'll teach you one thing. Youta: That love is not only what you think it is!! Sound: Ba. <145> Sound: Gasyan. Rolex: Stupid!! Sound: Bu bu bu bu. Sound: Baka. <146> Rolex: What!? Rolex: That old man's plot!! Guaguwaa. Rolex: Remember! Love doesn't exist in this world!! You tried to protect your love, and Ai will disappear soon. You know! Meaningless!! It's meaningless!!! <147> Rolex: Ha ha ha ha ha. Sound: Van. Youta: It's not meaningless... <148> Youta: She's disappearing... Finally... Youta: Ai-chan!! <149> Ai: Youta... I...feel so good. Youta: Oh yeah. That's good... Ai: It's because of you and Moemi-chan. Youta: Moemi-chan? Ai: yeah... She encouraged me to do my best... Youta: Oh yeah... Ai: Hey, Youta... Youta: Um? Ai: You can kiss me... <150> Youta: Then... I will... Ai: Yeah. <151> Narrator: Ai disappeared... They couldn't even say good-bye, but with the strong bond of their deep love, holding their hearts together, might have been satisfied more than anything in the world. Narrator: Ai's sparkle won't go back into the VCR and be scattered like a small galaxy. The beautiful sparkle... It is watching Youta, warmly...warmly... <152> Youta: February 3rd. Youta: Ai became a sparkle of light... Youta: I hurt many people. I hurt Nobuko-chan because I couldn't be devoted... I hurt Moemi-chan because of my untrustworthy kindness... I hurt Takashi because I forgot about trust... I will change. I think it's the only thing I can do, as compensation to everyone... I think I will change under Ai's spark... End of Chapter
