Ho ney mo on Sa lad

Nino Miya Hi ka ru

4-1 So she blithely says this:

Hey, Minori-chan

When do you find the time to jerk off?

4-2 Mind your own business!

5-1 Whaaat?
I'm a guest - I'm trying to act like one

I'm trying to be sensitive to your needs

That's why you need to mind your own business!

5-2 But look, if it builds up and you don't get it out...

5-3 It's bad for...

Youko

It may be the custom nowadays

to just say anything that comes to mind, but

I don't like it!

6-1 Nowadays...?

Hello...?

How can I put this? Modesty, or shyness

You need learn to control yourself...

6-2 Minori-chan...

6-3 You've gone way past trying to be my dad

You're an old fart!

Ah
Yeah, sure! That's fine!

6-4 I'm already all washed up

I'm living a life that's got nothing to do with a beautiful world of ideals , got it!?

7-1 That's a lie

7-4 Hey, Natsukawa-san

7-5 Recently you've changed a little

8-1 Wha?

8-2 Changed...?

You've rounded out, or...

Mmm...

8-3 What? Put on weight, have you Natsukawa?

No, I think I've been losing weight

You don't have to look so happy

Ah
No! No!

Not like that! Your attitude!

8-4 You've relaxed...

Become easier to talk to

9-1 Gotta be a woman...

sfx: Bo

9-2 St...

Stop joking around!

9-3 Man, don't try to hide it by getting angry
You're too easy to read

Hey, hey

That's why I'm telling you it's nothing juicy like that

9-4 sfx: paku paku

10-1 It's more work than it's worth

To try to explain this...

10-2 Nah... in any case

It's nothing as nice as that...

sfx: fusha

10-4 I can't still remember it vividly

11-1 Cold eyes

Blunt rejection

11-4 But the thing that hurt the worst was...

11-5 In only one year...

After only one year of not meeting each other...

sfx: dokun

12-1 She became extra-ordinarily beautiful

Or so I came to think

13-4 Her image would stubbornly stay in my vision

To torment me

13-5 This can't go on forever

Once she's gone
Then I'll be able to...

What was even worse was after she graduated

14-1 No matter where I looked

I couldn't bump into her

Not even by chance

14-8 A despair that made me a walking zombie

15-1 Like the back of my throat

Was inflamed, burnt...

15-3 And then I started remembering things that didn't happen

Memories getting re-written

16-3 In my dreams...

17-1 Entangled limbs

*That* spot of her now-adult body

18-1 Reactions like I've never seen before

Mewling cries like I've never heard before

19-1 I was possessed by that for the longest time

19-2 I don't want to go through that ever again

20-1 Welcome home!

20-3 Hey, Minori-chan, Let's buy a table!

Something I can put my word processor on

20-4 I brought home bento... [boxed meal]

And some yakitori [grilled chicken skewers]

20-5 Wouf!

21-1 Woof

Woof

Call me your dog!

Dinner time!
Dinner time!

21-2 When they say grown women are sexy...

It's a fucking lie

Can I get some beer out?

It's ok, right?

21-3 But...

21-4 With her acting like that
It makes me relieved

sfx: Zaaaa

22-1 Aaah

22-2 The last beer!

22-3 I bought it with my money
It's my beer!

I was saving that for when I got out of the bath!

22-4 Pinch

23-1 You evil man!

Owowowow

sfx: Gu

23-2 Goddammit...

Hey

23-3 You. Damn. Bitch!

Ah, it's coming up

You think you can resist my manly strength?

I just ate!

23-4 It even felt like it was washing away

The burnt feelings of the past

It's coming up!

I'm going to strip you if you're not careful!

23-5 ...that's ok with me

If you don't mind that it's me
Y'know, in lieu of rent

25-1 I don't want...

to go through that ever again...

But, no way!

Ha!

25-3 Maaan

That was pretty damn shameless of me

You don't even have to tell me it's not gonna happen

No one is gonna get excited over me!

26-1 Um, well...

I think...

There's one guy that would get excited...

You're gonna say, "You gotta pay *ME*" or something [handwritten on right]
Ahaha

Her turn of phrase made me wonder, but[this is the box on left]

26-2 I stopped myself from thinking too deeply about it

27-1 Shopping

I'm so happy!

27-3 We're just going to buy a cheap table. That's all.

Hey, while we're at it

Aren't you thinking that
You want to buy me a piece of clothing?

27-4 No way!

Shucks!

27-5 pita

28-2 Whats up?

29-1 sfx: zukin

Up till now

I had been putting it out of my mind

29-4 The next time that we would meet

Hello?

Minori? Are you in there?

How should I act and stuff

29-5 Hey, don't hang on me so much!

Why?

We do use the same station after all
You'd have to think we might bump into each other...

29-6 Ah...

30-1 But...

30-2 Ah...

paa

30-3 But at that moment

My mind was wiped clean

31-1 Natsukawa-san!

32-1 It's been a while!

Hello!
