When you stay over at Haruka-san's, she cooks for you? すっかり胃袋も 掴まれちゃって~ She's trying to get to your heart through your stomach [heart] Left Bubble まあね...でも Well, yes. But... Top Left Panel Upper Bubbles 料理が上手いだけじゃ なくて料理してる姿も エプロンが似合ってて めちゃくちゃ可愛いくて 思わず後ろからちょっかいかけても 笑って許してくれるし She's not just an excellent cook, she's also so super cute in her apron that I can't help but sneak up on her from behind, but she just smiles and forgives me. 笑顔は眩しすぎて倒れそう になるくらいだし夢中に なって本読んでる横顔とか 眠いとふにゃふにゃしたり 私より小さい手とかとにかく 遥香さんの顔も性格も全部 最高に好きだから私は Her smile is so dazzling I feel like I'll collapse. The face she makes when she's lost in a book, her tired face when she's yawning, her tiny hands... everything about Haruka-san, from her looks to her personality, everything, is just amazing. I love her so much I— SFX スラ スラ "prattle" Lower Bubble 今年一番の饒舌 That's the most you've spoken this whole year! しかも全く噛まない!! And you didn't stutter once! Middle Panel Right Bubble ...夕貴はまったく 驚かなかったよね ... Yuuki, when I told you I was dating Haruka-san, Left Bubble 私が遥香さんと 付き合ってるって 話た時 you didn't bat an eye. Bottom Right Panel Bubbles 正直 普通は Honestly, 引いたり避けたり するもんじゃー wouldn't you normally pull back or try to avoid me— Bottom Left Panel Bubbles ...-私が Of course not. そんなことするなんて 思ってもないくせに I'd never even think of doing that. Page 7 Top Right Panel Bubble だから話してくれた んじゃないの? Isn't that why you told me? Upper Top Left Panel Right Bubble ...夕貴は本当 ... Yuuki, you really are Left Bubble いいやつ a good friend. Lower Top Left Panel Bubbles でしょ~ Ain't I [heart] なんでも 話したまえ!! You could tell me anything! Middle Right Panel Bubbles あっ でもこれからは 遥香さんになんでも 話して甘えちゃたり 出来ちゃうじゃん! Oh, but now you can tell your problems to Haruka-san, and she'll mother you! 遥香さんは聖母~って 感じの包容力で全部 聞いてくれそうだもんね She's feels kinda like the Virgin Mary, that you could tell her anything and she'd still accept you. Writing いーなー うらやましー You're lucky, I'm jealous Middle Left Panel Bubble ...言えない こともあるよ ... There are things I cant tell her. Bottom Panel Right Bubbles ー実は私と遥香さん Actually, 前に一度会ったことが あるんだよね we've met before. Left Bubbles 遥香さんは多分 気付いてないし 覚えてないけど... I don't think she's realized. She doesn't remember, but... 私が中三の頃 役者になる夢を 諦めようとしてた時 My third year of middle school, when I was thinking of giving up my dream of becoming an actor, Page 8 Top Right Panel Bubbles 偶然 観に行った 舞台に I happened to go see a play 遥香さんが 主演で立ってた and Haruka-san was starring. Upper Top Left Panel Bubble あの時 遥香さんに 会えなかったら If I hadn't met her then, Lower Top Left Panel Bubble 私は夢を諦める 選択をしてた かも知れない... I might've chosen to give up... Bottom Panels Right Boxes この時から 遥香さんは Back then, Haruka-san was 私の憧れの役者 the actor I most admire. Left Boxes それはずっと... And since then too... 今でもー even now. Page 9 Top Right Panel Bubbles 今日まで私が夢を 諦めずに生きて こられたのは To this day, it's all thanks to Haruka-san 遥香さんの おかげなんだよ that I've been able to keep chasing this dream. Top Left Panel Upper Bubble 遥香さんも演劇を やってたなんて... So Haruka-san also acted... Lower Bubble 遥香さんには その時のこと 言ったの...? Have you told her about that...? Bottom Panels Right Bubble 言えなかった I can't. Center Bubble 演劇を辞めて やってたことすら 話さないなんて She quit and won't even mention that she ever acted at all... Left Bubble なにかあったんじゃ ないかって... Something must've happened. Page 10 Top Panel Right Bubbles でも 私の話を 聞いてくれるし But, she listens to me. 応援しようと してくれる She supports me. Left Bubbles 本当はこの前の 舞台だって Honestly, I was afraid 見に来てほしい って誘うのが 怖かった... to invite her to come see my performance... Middle Right Panel Bubble もしもダメなら 遥香さんの為にも 一緒にいられないって I was scared that if she couldn't handle it, I'd have to stay away from her, for her own sake. Middle Left Panel Right Bubble けど遥香さんは 見に来てくれた んだよね? But she went, didn't she? Left Bubble 演劇自体を嫌いに なったわけじゃない ...ってことかな So it's not like she hates theater itself... probably. Bottom Panels Right Bubble うん... Yeah... Left Bubbles 黙っていることにも 遥香さんなりの理由が あるんだと思う I figure she must have her reasons for keeping quiet about it. それが どんな理由かは わからないけど... Though I have no idea what they could be... Page 11 Upper Right Bubbles それでも今 Still, 遥香さんは 私のそばにいて くれるんだから... Haruka-san's with me now... Upper Bubble 私はこれからも 舞台に立つよ so I'll continue to act. Lower Right Bubble そのためにも レポート提出 がんばろうねっ Well, make sure you work hard on that report. Lower Left Bubble あ...
