pg 32

Nino: Can you // help me experience love?

Box: That was what she requested after I asked her how I could pay her back // for saving me from drowning in a river. // "Never create a debt." The rules of the Ichinomiya family are absolute.

Kou thought: And as the next owner of the Ichinomiya company... If that's what the person who saved my life wants then...

p33

Kou: Yes.

Kou thought: Even if it costs me my life, I have the obligation to make that happen.

p34

Chapter 3: Positive thinking

BG: As a man, Ichinomiya Kou doesn't go back on his word...

black: No matter how much the person is crazy to insist they're from Venus - a debt is a debt!

Kou: I will love this woman! // Starting tomorrow! // For now, I think it'd be best to go home and go to bed... I'm freezing as well...

Nino: Oh... // Then you need to decide on something.

Kou: What?

p35

Nino: Where are you planning on sleeping? // Your home, or your second home?

Kou: Where...? // Well, first, I don't have a second home. // And I plan on sleeping in my home.

Nino: Alright, gotcha.

Kou: Haaah... // What's her deal... // Really, what goes on in that head of hers... // What in the world can I even talk about with her... // Guess I have lots of thinking to do at home tonight...

Nino: Hey.

p36

Nino: Your pillow.

small: Use it.

Nino: Sorry, but I don't have any covers. // I do have newspaper though but... // How cold can you get before you die? // I seriously don't want you dying in my home.

Kou: Er, wait a second. // Maybe I'm misunderstanding but... // it seems like you think...

p37

Kou: That my house is here?

Nino: Of course it is! // Lovers are together till death do they part.

Kou: You're mistaking that for marriage!!

Nino: I am?

Kou: Longing to meet again is part of what lovers do!

Nino: Yeah, but even still, / I think if // I go a day without seeing you, / I'll forget we ever met.

Kou: What are you, a cat?!

p38

Kou: I'll honestly come every free moment I have! // So just let me sleep at home...

Nino: But... // didn't you just say, // "It's dangerous for a girl to sleep in a place alone like this"...

Kou: Ah!

Nino: Nah, forget it. // See ya later.

Kou: H-hey... // Wai... *cough* // Let's settle this!

Box: People of the Ichinomiya family need to repay their debt or they feel a great deal of stress that causes an asthma attack!!

p39

Kou: Ugh... // I know... // If I truly loved her, // I wouldn't leave my girl alone in a place like this...!! // Sec, // I'll sleep in the second home!!

Nino: I think it'd be better for you to sleep where you're used to sleeping.

Kou: My house is new anyway, // so I'm fine sleeping in the second home.

p40

Nino: Alright.

Kou thought: I'm... / OK with this.

Nino: The second home is this way.

Kou thought: In order to be loved / you have to love first. // I'm in debt from her saving my life so why in the world was I hesitating? // I'm moving... / That's it, I'll think of it as that. // That way I won't have any reason to hesita...

Nino: Here we are.

Kou: Oh. Than...

p41

Kou: ks...

Nino: It's got a lovely view but... // if we're to point out its downsides then... // I'd say the ground's a bit hard to sleep on...

Kou: If I roll over in my sleep I'd die!!
