                Big Brother Comes Home

 

[143-1]    Chidzu:                   What do you think of this?

                                                Maybe something more fluffy and lightweight would be girlier, though.

                Sawako:                 You have to have a lot of courage to wear clothes like that. . .!

                                                [It looks cold. . .!!]

                Sawako:                 The person Chidzu likes is Sanada’s older brother. . .

 

[144-1]    Sawako:                 [She’s a young maiden. . .!!]

                                                I was sure it was Sanada-kun,

[148-6]    Kazehaya:              No, it’s not your fault, Ryuu.

                Sawako:                 Ah.

                Chidzu:                   Yeah. . .

                                                I can tell. . .

                SOUND                  SMACK

                                                He’s not listening to a word I’m saying. . .

[151-2]    Ayane:                   I guess I didn’t love him after all.

                                                I mean, he’s so annoying.

                                                [I’m not doing this pro bono.]

                Caption:                 [The male students, drawing away.]

                Chidzu:                   [I. . .]

                                                I was sure you were going to be all lovey-dovey with him. . .

                Ayane:                   How did you get that from how I was acting?

[151-3]    Sawako:                 I can’t think of any words to console her. . .

                                                [Ahh. . .]

[151-4]    Ayane:                   . . .But,

                                                it’s not like

                                                I wanted this to happen from the beginning.

 

[152-1]    Chidzu:                   [Ya-]

Yano-chiiiin.

[Daaah]

                Ayane:                   [Eeehhh!?]

                                                Why are you reacting like I got dumped!?
                                                [I don’t get it!!]

[152-2]    Joe:                         Dumped!?
                                                There’s someone else who got dumped here!?

[Waaaah, a companion!!]

Nametag:               [Joe]

Ayane:                   [Ah. . .]

                                Don’t compare me to you.

[152-3]    Joe:                         A heartbreak ally!!

                Ayane:                   Don’t compare us!

                SOUND                  CLATTER

 

[153-3]    Kazehaya:              Ryuu.

[153-4]    Ryuu:                     . . .

                                                It was too loud. I couldn’t sleep.

                Kazehaya:              [You were trying to sleep?]

[153-5]    Kazehaya:              . . .You didn’t tell Yoshida

                                                that your brother is coming home this weekend.

                Ryuu:                     Yeah.

                                                . . .It was too hard to say.

 

[154-1]    Ryuu:                     Would you tell her, if you were in my shoes?

                Kazehaya:              Eh, me!?

[154-2]    Kazehaya:              Hmmm. . .

[154-3]    Kazehaya:              . . .

                                                I probably would.

                                                And then it would be up to the other person to decide what to do.

[154-4]    Ryuu:                     Yeah.

                                                I thought you’d say that.

                Kazehaya:              Eh?

                                                [Then why did you ask me!?]

[154-5]    Ryuu:                     Yeah.

                                                That’s true.

 

[155-1]    Ryuu:                     If Chidzuru ran into him suddenly when she’s all excited and not knowing

anything about it, it would be the worst kind of drama imaginable.

                                                [But it’s still hard to tell her.]

                Kazehaya:              Hmmmm.

                Pin:                         Hey, what are you two doing?

[155-2]    Pin:                         Hurry up and get in the classroom.

                SOUND                  THUNK THUNK

                Kazehaya:              Ow.

                Ryuu:                     Ow.

[155-3]    Kazehaya:              Shit, that hurt.

                SOUND                  SLIDE

                Pin:                         Oh, Ryuu.

                Ryuu:                     [Hm?]

                Pin:                         I haven’t called Tooru in a while. How’s he doing?

                Ryuu:                     Fine.

 

[156-1]    Pin:                         Tell him to be more respectful towards his senpai!

                                                [Hey, sit down, all of you!]

                Students:               [Waaah!!]

                Kazehaya:              You’re not going to tell Pin?
                                                [That he’s coming home.]

                Ryuu:                     I feel like that would make things messy. . .

[156-2]    Pin:                         Hm?
[156-4]    Pin:                         That guy you’re seeing is no good!
                Ayane:                   Leave me alone.

                Students:               That’s. . .not something to joke about. . .

[156-5]    Pin:                         There’s a shortage of good men in this world. . .

                                                [Like me!]

                                                [Wahahahaha!!]

                Kazehaya:              He seems carefree.

 

[157-2]    Ayane:                   Huh!?

                                                You didn’t know, Sawako!?
                                                That Chidzu was in love with Ryuu’s brother?
[157-3]    SOUND                  NOD

Sawako:                 Love talk. . .

                Chidzu:                   I was sure that you’d have heard it from Yano-chin. . .

                                                [Now I’m shy.]

                Ayane:                   Actually, I’m all caught up with Sawako and Kazehaya.

                Chidzu:                   Eh!? Hey! What about me!?
                                                [Hey!!]

[157-4]    Ayane:                   Now, now, that’s great!

                                                New Year’s? A miniskirt? That’s great, that’s great!!

                Chidzu:                   Ah, really!?
                                                What do you think about some frilly kind!?
                Sawako:                 [Wow, young maiden talk. . .!!]

                Caption:                 [Can’t keep up.]

                Ayane:                   You should buy something that suits you.

                Chidzu:                   Eh!? It won’t suit me!?
                Ayane:                   Aww, I want to see Ryuu’s brother, too.

 

[158-1]    Ayane:                   I’ve always wondered what kind of person the guy Chidzu likes is.

Is he like Ryuu?
Chidzu:                   [Waaah! I’m so embarrassed!!]

Not at all!

They look exactly alike, though.

But their personalities are totally different!
Well, I guess there are things that are alike about them.

[158-2]    Ayane:                   [Eh?]

                                                So are they alike or not?

                Sawako:                 She sounds so happy. . .

[158-3]    Chidzu:                   [Hmmm.]

                                                I sure messed up earlier.

                                                I wonder if Kazehaya realizes.

                                                [Ahh, jeez, how embarrassing.]

                Sawako:                 Ah. . .

                Chidzu:                   [Oh well!]

[158-4]    ~Ryuu:                   If Tooru wasn’t around. . .

                Sawako:                 . . .

                                                . . .Um. . .

                SOUND                  GULP

                Sawako:                 [Wh-]

There’s no way he doesn’t know!!
[Wahahahahahaha!]

                Ayane:                   [Hey! Save your power!]

                SOUND                  SHOVE

                Sawako:                 [U!!]

                Chidzu:                   I’ve never said anything about it!!

[159-2]    Chidzu:                   . . .I mean, I’ve never told him outright,

                                                but there’s no way he couldn’t tell.

                                                [Hahaha!]

[159-3]    Sawako:                 So he knows. . .

                                                . . .I see. . .

                Chidzu:                   Ah!!

[159-4]    Chidzu:                   Uwah! I was all excited about myself!

                                                And Yano-chin’s going through such a tough time!!

                                                [Sorry, Yano-chin!]

                Ayane:                   Whatever, it’s fine.

[159-5]    Sawako:                 . . .

                Chidzu:                   [Sorry, Yano-chin!! Sorry!! Cheer up!!]

                Ayane:                   [Yeah, yeah, I’m heartbroken.]

                Sawako:                 Huh. . .

 

[160-1]    Sawako:                 I was so caught up with trying to get close to people,

                                                that I never even thought about love.

[160-2]    Sawako:                 . . .I’m sure love is

                Chidzu:                   [Hey, you should come spend the night this weekend, Yano-chin!!]

[160-3]    Chidzu:                   [Let’s work out some frustration!]

                Ayane:                   [Ehhhh?]

                Sawako:                 just as difficult. . .

 

[161-3]    Sawako:                 I understand that now

                                                because I fell in love with Kazehaya-kun.

                Chidzu:                   Sawako!

 

[162-1]    Sawako:                 There are so many feelings about so many different things. . .

                Chidzu:                   You should come spend the night on Friday, too!

                                                [We can console Yano-chin!!]

Sawako:                 Spend the night!?
Me!?

Chidzu:                   We’ll play some competitive game!!

Ayane:                   G-

                                game. . .?

[162-4]    Chidzu’s Mom:     Oh!

Long time no see, Ryuu-chan!
Ryuu:                     Yo.

No, I really can’t!!

                                                Don’t you want to play it?

 

[172-1]    Chidzu:                   Ehhhhhhhh?
                                                But it’s Ryuu’s game.

                Chidzu:                   [Heh. . .?]

 

[174-1]    Ayane:                   And just take your birthday present and give it to him.

                                                There’s no meaning to giving a present if he gets mad over it!
