Honeymoon Salad Chapter 5

102-1 I couldn't forget those days even if I tried

My lack of understand of the annoying parts is also all lumped together

She was perfect

102-2 I was always searching

For the words

That would fit her perfectly...

...huh?

[sign says "Nurse's Office"

103-1 Where's the nurse...?

103-2 ...not here

103-3 Why? What's Wrong?

Ah... I just...
Wanted to get some aspirin...

A cold?

103-4 fuwa...

104-1 Wha-wah!

Hm?

Do you have a fever?

104-2 I don't!

It's just a headache!

104-4 Wait a...!

Hold still!

I can't tell like this

104-5 Hmhm!

It seems like you don't have a fever

105-1 I already said that...

Aspirin, right?

I'll get some for you

105-2 Ah, but if the nurse isn't here...
You can't [hand written]

No prob. No prob.
I'm a patient here all the time

105-3 What?

You have some sort of problem?

105-4 ...you don't seem sick all all

105-6 That's kind of you to say

At first

I thought she was a grown-up beauty (what a laugh).

106-1 But that was soon changed

So let me jot this down

106-2 Natsukawa... Minori?

Not *Minoru*?

106-3 Like a girl's name
"Minori-chan"

Man,
You've got awful writing

106-4 ban

106-5 I wont' die

If my writing's messy!

But...

sfx: gu gu gu gu gu

106-6 Why was she in the nurse's office?

106-7 Mmm...

Thatsa hard question

107-1 Well,

It's not like it has to be the nurse's office...

107-2 Girls, you know always form groups to eat

107-3 They wash their hands in the bathroom in groups.
And they all wait until everyone is finished

107-4 I just can't do that

What's wrong with that? Just be yourself

107-5 Yeah, that's true, but...

108-1 That's true...
yeah...

If I think about it now
She was running away. No mistake.

108-2 She was isolated in the classroom

In the middle

of a group of 13 and 14 year olds

She was alone

108-4 Fuuu

109-2 You got somethin' to say?

...just want to ask...

109-3 It is good?
or...

Does it make you feel good? Does it do something for you?

109-5 Wanna try it too?

109-6 Yeah, yeah...
Inhale a big puff

Then stop

110-1 Then take another drag

sfx: suuu

110-3 Huh...?

Nothing?

That's weird

sfx: mohaa

110-4 Why's that?

See, when I do it

I always end up coughing

ick [handwritten]

110-4 suu

110-5 su

110-6 geha geha geha geha

110-7 Look

See?

111-1 So... what?

Look, the boys always fall for this trick

111-2 "Haha, what a dumb sucker" you say

111-3 ...and?

You ever fooled any boys?

111-4 Um...

No...

112-1 Haah?

So, I'm saying
Let's try it out

112-2 Wait...
But...

All sorts of stuff

112-3 Wanna try it?

112-4 Sure, but...

112-5 I don't wanna just "try it out"

I wanna do it for real

113-1 'cause I think I love you, sempai

113-2 Sorry!

sfx; Ba

113-3 Sorry!
Scratch that!

Joking!

113-4 Sor...

114-1 Ah...

It was at this moment

That I got it

114-3 That she's..

"Cute"

115-1 Heeeello Minori-chan

How's it going?

115-2 Why are you here?

116-1 To mooch a meal and a place to crash off you
[erase the handwritten]

People shouldn't come asking for favors!

116-2 Don't be so uptight

Youko!

116-3 I want to get this clear

116-4 You can call me uptight
You can call me rude

116-5 I don't want to bargain
I don't want to solve puzzles

I'm no good at that

116-6 What do you want
with me?

What do you want to say?
What do you want me to say?

117-1 "What"...? Nothing really...

117-2 When you ask all the sudden, I...

Ok! Then come back when you can answer the damn question!

117-4 Cheapskate!

118-1 ...but

sfx: kon

118-2 My name...

"Youko"

It's been a while since you called me that

118-3 I couldn't forget those days even if I tried

Pretending that I knew everything, spreading trouble in my wake

119-1 That's not unusual at all

119-2 At our age
There's people smoking, sniffing thinner everyday... having...

having sex. Lot's of people do it.

119-3 I don't

Yeah, me too

119-4 If you envy that
You're gonna be just as worthless, right?

119-5 Minori-chan

I thought he had a different kind of smarts than you need for study.

119-6 Do you want to try it?

120-1 Wait...

What...

So, I'm saying
Let's try it out

120-2 Wanna try it?

All sorts of stuff

All I could do

120-3 Sure, but...

Was pretend to tease him to see his reaction

120-4 I...

Don't wanna just "try it out"

I wanna do it for real

120-5 'cause I think I love you, sempai

121-! Sorry!

sfx; ba

121-3 Scratch That!

Sorry!

Joking!

121-4 Sorry

Scratch

The "trying out" part
I...

I...

122-1 I...
Lo...

Love you. Minori-chan

He blasted through my defenses

122-2 He completely changed me

With just one word...

123-1 korororo

123-2 Huh? Minori-chan?

What's the matter? You rarely call me at home.

123-3 Eh?

My parents?

Yeah, night shift today too
Eh...?

123-4 ...ok, won't you come over?

123-5 My parent's are on a town committee overnight meeting. They're not home.

123-6 doki

124-1 "It's finally come"
...was the feeling I had

Ah....
Umm...

I'm not sure...

But...

I'll make dinner

124-2 Come eat?

124-3 I'll go!

I'll go!

125-1 "Make dinner"?

This is it?

125-2 Open a can of sauce...

Boil noodles...

What?

You complaining?

125-3 Nah, it's not like I was expecting anything...

Ah, there's lettuce... only.

I'll wash it

125-4 But, I...

125-5 It's good

126-1 Eeeeh!? Why?

It's really good!

126-2 I was happy

126-3 The thing that happened that day. Everything that happened that day.

126-4 I was happy
