Chapter 12


pg2.
Sakuya:    {It's the height of the rainy season (in terms of feelings as well)
    I accidentally spilled about Chihiro-kun to Kana-chan
    It was all because of my carelessness...}
Sakuya:    ...Erm
    I'm...really sorry
    for keeping it in
    That is...it was hard to bring it up...
Kanade:    That's enough
Sakuya:    ......erm
    in other words, that means
    that you're not angry anymore?
Kanade:    I'm not angry.
Sakuya:    ...really?
[sfx: *gu*]
[words in box]
Kanade was angry at Chihiro for lying about being Sakuya's boyfriend, but...?!

pg3.
Kanade:    Does it look as if I'm angry?
    This face
Sakuya:    ......I-
    I wonder...?
    {To Kana-chan,
    Chihiro-kun is still a "liar"}
[Flashback]
::
Kanade:    ...Aah~
    ...
    Damn it that brat...
    to make someone act so whimsically...
    Hey Saku,
    even if you do have another chance to meet that guy,
    don't talk to him.
    [black bubble] Give him the silent treatment, don't let him come near here again.
::
[/end Flashback]
Sakuya:    {He might still be angry inside but if it were possible,
    it would be nice if they got along
    or something like that
    But I guess that's asking for too much...?
[sfx: *screech*]

pg4.
Sei:    I am back.
Man:    Welcome back Miss Hijiri, you must be tired.
Man2:    Welcome back.
    That Saki...he came back a while ago.
Sei:    Is that so? That's good.
    Where is he now?
Man:    He went off somewhere else after greeting Madam
Sei:    I see.
    Thank you. I'll be fine from here on.
Man:    Yes Miss.
Sei:    (...rattle...)

pg5.
Saki:    ...I see you don't look
     too happy
    Young Miss...
Sei:    ...That's quite a greeting, Saki-san
    What did I do?
Saki:    ...I
    I said it, did I not...? Not to go out
    That when I'm not around, to please refrain from training and practices
    ...because-
[sfx: *gi/menacing*]

pg6.
Saki:    I'm the only one who can guard Young Miss perfectly, aren't I?!
    What's with that? Who guarded you? Huh? Who tucked in your kimono for you? It's so badly done!!
Sei:    Actually, I did that by myself
Saki:    YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT IT!!
    How many hours did it take? Even though you're really unskilled, you went through it for more than one hour, didn't you?
    (kuaa)
    You did it with such determination! That's so cute~!
Sei:    ...
Saki:    But I still have to do it, because it won't do, it won't do!
    I'll fix it right now!
    Please take it off!
[sfx: *grab*]

pg7.
Sei:    SHUT IT.
    You're really noisy!
[sfx: *hold...*]
    If I had known you'd be like this I would have sent you to Tokyo for a month.
Saki:    You'll die if I'm not with you for a whole month you know?!
    Loneliness, sadness and TRASH will accumulate, Young Miss will die!!
Sei:    Ahh, how gloomy, please get started on reporting what you checked up on in Tokyo
    You didn't come empty-handed did you?
Saki:    Of course not, no way!
    Here!

pg8.
Sei:    ......
    ...This is
    Is this true?
Saki:    Of course! I made sure to request for basis.    
    Is there a problem?
Sei:    ......
    let's see...
[extreme left column]
-chihiro- You are the lonely one, Alphard.X
-sakuya- The first star that I have come to love.

pg9.
Sei:    ...anyway for now,
    at least I know that
    he isn't an alien-...
    .........
    Hey
    What was that for?
Saki:    That's because you looked troubled...
    so I acted on impulse

pg10.
Sei:    ...I did not
    That's stupid.
    I'm going to change out so make some tea first
Saki:    By the way Young miss
    Was there any development
    while I was away?    
    with Sensei.
Sei:    ...Shut up.
[sfx: *slam*]
Saki:    If there wasn't,
    then good.

pg11.
Sei:    ...This
    melancholy
    ...as expected, it's
    really hard to bear, isn't it...?
Chihiro:    ......so
    what is it?
    Talking so earnestly...

pg12.
Sakuya:    .........
    ...That, well...
    How should I put it...
    .........
Chihiro:    ...
    Can I go back?
Sakuya:    Wai-!
    Wait. I'm sorry, it's-
    actually, I spilled about Chihiro-kun,
    to Kana-chan...!
Chihiro:    ...ha?
[sfx: *eep*]
Sakuya:    I mean-
    it's-
    my mistake-!

pg13.
Sakuya:    I just said it...without thinking
    and then,
    {This is bad...}
    He got angry.........
    {This is really bad, he's angry
    Chihiro-kun's also angry
    I can't say this!
    I can't say I want him to meet with Kana-chan!!
    He'll say, "Why me?" or something!
    "You're at fault!" or something!
    "It's your responsiblity isn't it?" or something!!
    (Ahh
    Uuu)
    He's going to say it, and on top of it all, it's true...!}
Chihiro:    ......
Sakuya:    {And to think that I've finally gotten closer to him}
Chihiro:    That's stupid...
[sfx: *menacing*]
Sakuya:    {We're apart again---!!!}

pg14.
Chihiro:    I've been intending to talk to him for some time
    ...that's why yesterday
Sakuya:    You took the trouble to make the call
    ......
    Why didn't you speak?
Chihiro:    About that...
Sakuya:    Why the courtesy?
Chihiro:    C-, courtesy??
Sakuya:    Or...well    
    somehow it's like...
Chihiro:    ...
    ...Fine
    I'll meet
    Kanade-san
Sakuya:    !
Chihiro:    ...Deluding yourself
    to be in a fix...
    
pg15.
Chihiro:    ...
    That's stupid...
Sakuya:    ...
    {We didn't
    become apart}   
    Thank...you
    {after all}
    ...
    You're nice...
Chihiro:    ?!

pg16.
Chihiro:    ...Oi, don't get it wrong.
    It's not like that
    Don't misunderstand, it's just that
    ......
    ...if you
    stay caught in this problem, it'll be hard to get out of it...
Chihiro:    What are you laughing for?!
Sakuya:    {I'm getting closer}

pg17:
Sakuya:    {It's going well}
Chihiro:    ...If you're gonna stick to the wrong idea then I take that back...
Guy1:    Ah
    Aoi-kun, the girls from class are looking for you
Chihiro:    I'll be on my way(thanks)
    ...Well then, see you
Guy1:    (...)
Sakuya:    Yea!
Sei:    (...Good day)
Chihiro:    ...
    Good day

pg18.
Sei:    Saku...
    Oh, you're in a good mood?
Sakuya:    Yea! I guess so!
    {I'm giggling so much
    It really makes me happy
    Even though it might be a small matter but
    I'm happy}
Sei:    ...Well
    (sigh)
    we'll just have to wait and see
Shizuka:    Shiina
Sakuya:    ?
    (Ah) Sensei! What is it?!
Shizuka:    ...
    How're you feeling?
Sakuya:    Eh? I'm feeling real fine!

pg19.
Sakuya:    Right now, I might just be invincible!!
Shizuka:    ?
    I see, that's assuring
    Work hard so that you won't have to suffer extra lessons during the summer holidays
Sakuya:    Eh
Shizuka:    You didn't pass right?
    Especially geography
    if you don't show results by the end of the term, it's extra lessons for you
Sei:    Ah, I remember
    The school's boarding house was on the brink of collapse during the summer holidays
    (because of the extra lessons)
Shizuka:    That's right.

pg20.
Sei:    Sensei...please pay more attention to the situation and give a warning first at least
    Her time of invincibility was too short
Shizuka:    ?
    Ah, my bad.
    ...
    Go give her some support.
Sei:    I don't specialise in geography
    Please be more informed about the students of the class that you're in charge of
    ...but since Saku's always enjoyed the boarding house,
    I'll try to do something about it
    Saku!
    Don't worry, there's still time...

pg21.
Sei:    {...After one danger is gone
    another one comes again......}
Guy1:    I wonder
    is Shiina-san really going out with Chihiro-kun?
Yuuri:    Nahh.
    Don't go swallowing rumours
Guy1:    But they're on pretty good terms aren't they?
Yuuri:    ...so, what do you want to say?
Guy1:    Ah, nothing, I was just wondering.

pg22.
Guy1:    Yuuri likes Shiina-san don't you?
Yuuri:    ......
[sfx: *plop*]
Guy1:    ...what
Yuuri:    DON'T PUT YOUR OWN SUSPICIONS ON PEOPLE !!
Guy1:    (Ehhh-!!)
    Am I wrong?! I was so sure...
    Ow, OW-!
Guy2:    ...That's right
    I also thought you liked her...
Yuuri:    WE'RE FRIENDS, FRIENDS!!
    Does that mean you guys hold romantic feelings towards friends? And that means you'll fall for me?!
    If so then from now on, please stay at least a 100 metres away!!

pg23.
Guy2:    You're deluded about guy-girl friendships you know?
Yuuri:    NONONO-
    Apologize to the people who got involved in this-!
Guy1:    Speaking of which, there are times when it ends well for the couple and times when it flops, right?
Guy2:    I see
Yuuri:    What's with this conversation! Are you guys elementary students?!
[! the little words at the bottom of the bubble got cut off so...]
Guy2:     It was the same when Yuuri had a girlfriend, it feels weird doesn't it?
Yuuri:    Why'd you bring that up...This and that are totally different things...
Guy1:    (Ah.)
    I've thought of a way to distinguish between love and friendship.
Yuuri:    ...What
Guy1:    If we push them down so one is on top of the other, then we'll kn-...
[sfx: *bam*]

pg24.
Guy1:    Ow...
Yuuri:    YOU GUYS PROSTRATE YOURSELVES IN FRONT OF SAKUYA AND ASK FOR HER FORGIVENESS!!
Guy2:    If you do that, then even if they don't really love each other...
Yuuri:    SHUT IT!!!
Sakuya:    What is it about me...?
Yuuri:    SH-OHHHHHHHHH......
Sakuya:    Ehhhhhh...
[sfx: *running*]
Yuuri:    Nothing-! That's not it!!
    Don't mind it?!
Sakuya:    {(Huhh-?)
    Don't tell me he heard about my test...?!}
Yuuri:    It's alright!! Don't take it to heart-!
    (Shaking[arrow])
Sakuya:    I'll work hard!!
    (Shaking[arrow])

pg25.
Sakuya:    ...Oh yeah
    Yuuri, are you confident for the end of terms?
Yuuri:    End of terms?
    huh?
    ...well
    it's no problem yea?
    I could do it as I am right now.
Sakuya:    ...I thought so
[arrow](Someone who can score as he is right now)
Yuuri:    ?
    Eh? So
    why're you talking about the test...
Sakuya:    It's nothing!
    See you!
Yuuri:    Oi?
    ......
Sakuya:    {Right here}

pg26.
Sakuya:    {I really have to work hard
    There's the ...}
    (Somehow my tummy's starting to hurt)
Chihiro:    ...Why do you look so dark
Sakuya:    (uu)
    Because studying for tests...
    isn't something I'm good at...
Chihiro:    (Test?)
    and to think you were so giggly just a while ago...
Sakuya:    N-
    Nothing, it's nothing...
    {Chihiro-kun started a conversation with me----!!
    uwaa! uwaaa!
    Since the time he gave me a reminder?! UWAAA!
Chihiro:    ...
    what now...
   
pg27.
Chihiro:    Forget it...
    so?
Sakuya:    "So"?
Chihiro:    ......
    When would it be good for me to meet Kanade-san,
    hmm?!!
Sakuya:    ......AHH!
    O...Oh yeah...that's right!
Chihiro:    (...sighhh)
    Why do I have to get things back on track...?
Sakuya:    S-, sorry, erm...
Girls:    (kyahaha)
Chihiro:    !
Girls:    (It's true
    ahahaha)
Sakuya:    Anytime that's good for Chihiro-kun
    would be okay...
[sfx: *grab*]
Sakuya:    !

pg28.
Chihiro:    ...I got it
    I'll go when I can
    ...
    ...Shiina, you wait if you can

pg29.
Sakuya:    {..."Shiina"
    ..."Shiina"?
Girls:    (ah! It's Aoi-kun!
    Wah-- he's coming!
    Good afternoon!)
Sakuya:    {Not
    "You"
    I'm close
    I want to burst out in smiles
    It's as if the stars
    are twinkling inside of me}
   
pg30.
Sakuya:    {If feels like
    something's about to start
    ...or am I imagining things?
    I hope it starts soon
    There's anticipation}

pg31.
Sakuya:    {and anxiety}
Shizuka:    Be sure to study well
Sakuya:    {Anyway, for now, I'll have to focus on clearing the test...}
