I tried translating it but I got really stuck.

The situation is that Girl A got Girl B to get her brother to meet Girl A after promising to do something for her. It is revealed that Girl B had no intention of keeping the promise and now Girl B is getting told off by her brother.

あの子。。。した心丸出しで吐き気したんだけど
That girl... Hearing her reveal her ulterior motive made me nauseous

押しきられて 俺を連れてくることに? --I have no idea what this sentence means

うまく使われて どうするの?
What are you going to do after being used good?


If you're going to walk next to me

I'm not sure how to translate the next part
I know コギレイに means pretty or neat but I don't know しとけって話 means.


I've tried to translate this part. Could someone please help check it? It feels like I've translated it completely wrong.

人を不快にさせないように務める
People who work hard so others don't feel uncomfortable (so that they do not let people feel discomfort)
人と円滑な関係を作ろうとする健全でマジメナな
Serious people who try to create a smooth relationship with people
特にそういった子の表情が歪むのがたまらない
The expressions of especially those kind of people in pain is irresistible.

Thank you really much for your help!

>>Based on your description of the situation, I'd say your topic is wrong for the tl.

あの子。。。した心丸出しで吐き気したんだけど
That girl... Hearing her reveal her ulterior motive made me nauseous
>>That girl... Even though having to open up her heart made her sick to her stomach

押しきられて 俺を連れてくることに? --I have no idea what this sentence means
>>She overcame it and asked you to bring me along [i'm interpreting based on your description. based purely on grammar, it sounds more like "overwhelmed by bringing me" which i don't know what to make of without knowing the full context]

うまく使われて どうするの?
What are you going to do after being used good?
>>How does she feel after being used by you? [very liberal tl :) ]

I'm not sure how to translate the next part
I know コギレイに means pretty or neat but I don't know しとけって話 means.
>> I don't know what this is supposed to mean without the context, but しとけって話 should be して置けという話. I suppose he's telling her that she needs to make sure she's "pretty" before she can walk next to him.

>>I don't know the context here, but I have a feeling that your topic isn't right. Are you sure it's about "people" in general, not someone in particular? Otherwise, the tl is okay, except for the last part. たまらない means "unbearable" rather than "irresistible" in this context. Also you might want to rephrase the last sentence to say something like "pained expressions" or "expressions of pain/anguish/agony".

Sorry! I realized that I got the topic wrong. It is girl "A" who had no intention of keeping her promise and so girl "B's" brother is telling girl "B" off for being so stupid.
In that case, would the translation for the first pic be correct?

For the last picture, the person saying all that is actually a sadist so that's why I translated it as irresistible. I should have mentioned it.

Thank you so much for your help :hee

うまく使われて どうするの?What are you going to do after being used good?
~して(されて in this case)どうするの? is a rhetorical question and equivalent to Why would [you] do ~ , meaning [You] shouldn't do ...

How about:
Why would you let him take advantage of you?

I don't know who is using whom, so change "you" and "him" accordingly. Change 'you' to 'I/me' for example.

People in all 3 translated phrases/lines sentences are about the "(そういった)子" in the 3rd line. People are too generic, and a translation for 子 should probably be changed to girl or girls. If you don't want to repeat the same word, you could change your translation to "Working hard ..." in the 1st line or use something like "A serious and righteous type who ...." in the 2nd line.

Irresistible is a good translation for たまらない。If you think the subject in the 3rd line is a bit top heavy, you can bring the word to the beginning of the sentence: It's irresistible to see .... (I know why you translated that way, so it's optional.)
