Nyotai-ka 11

Nyotai-ka. 11th.

178
p1
---I love night

p2
At night, in compensation for one's isolation inside the car
The border line between oneself and the world blurs

p3
Yes--- I am now the night wind
The night wind that can blow to anywhere in the world---

p4
...Hmm?

p5
---Looks like a bike...
You also want to become the night wind---

p6
But so sorry

p7
With just me here, this road is already filled with as much night wind as it can handle---

p8
Hmmmmmm!?

179
p1
Maa~~~~
Nua~~~~!
Kaa~~~~~~!!

p2
Wha-....
Manakaaaaaa!!

p3
...The night wind calling for Manaka...
And wasn't it actually a bicycle!?

p4/p5
He-...
//Here I think...
SFX: Haa Haa

p6
---Actually, why did I have to come in person?
Couldn't I just call him on the cell...?
SFX: Haa Haa

180
p1
...What do I feel?
It's a bad premonition... I can't put into words

p2
As I was listening to Yagami
//I became more and more unsettled...
...As if I'd never be able to meet Manaka anymore...

p3

p4
Yeees...

p5
Iwa: ...Manaka
Mako: Eh? Huh!?
//Mako: Iwanami-san...!? What are you doing here?

181
p1
Sorry about coming so late
//---I need to talk to you...
...The premonition was just my imagination
//Since we're meeting like this...

p2
---And so Yagami finally understood the situation
We need to find a cure as soon as possible---
...

p3
Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on Yagami
Even though she's like that, she's highly regarded in academic circles---

p3/p4
Mako: It's no use
//Mako: No matter how much you research... It's already too late
Iwa: Too late...?

p5
It's not that it's too late---
!?

182
p1
Goddess: ---It's that he's chosen to live his life as a woman from now on
Iwa: Wha-...!?
Non bubble: A psychic!?

p2
We made a definite promise
Just a moment ago...
Non bubble: Not a psychic.

p3
Mako: ...This is the goddess who turned me into a woman
//Mako: It's all because I wished for it...
Iwa: You wished... to become a woman?
//Iwa: Why...!?

p4/p5
Goddess: He was pretending to be a woman until recently
//Goddess: And then he wished to become the real thing
Iwa: You're saying... Manaka was a cross-dresser!?
Mako: Not like that, Iwanami-san

183
p1
I... was never popular with women until now
I've lost my self-confidence as a man

p2
---One time I pretended to be a woman on the net, and it was really fun---
Phone: Thank you, Mako-chan!! I feel a little better now. I'll do my best tomorrow too! I really wish I had a girlfriend like you, Mako-chan... or something!
From then on I started as a nekama...

p3
Mako: But I was really glad that people liked me...
Iwa: Manaka...

p4
Goddess: And then by chance I picked up his pathetic cries
Goddess: The reason I granted his wish was---
//Goddess: I was just killing time...
Iwa: Killing time!?

p5
Iwa: You were killing time by changing someone's life to this extent!?
Iwa: Do you know how much trouble he suffered because of that---
Goddess: ----Woman

184
p1
I simply granted his request
It's what Manaka wished for...

p2
How many lives do you think are here on this planet?
Do you think I can grant all of their wishes?

p3
I gave him a chance that is far rarer than winning the lottery---
//There can't be any reason to be dissatisfied with that
.....

p4
If you have any complaints...
//Tell them to the one who made the wish
Woman, try to do something with your own power

p5
Goddess: I'm off...
Iwa: Ah, wait...!?

p6
....
Box: "How much trouble he suffered"... huh
Box: It's harsh, but I can't argue against that---

185
p1
Iwa: Manaka
Mako: Yes...?

p2
It's one thing that you wanted to become a woman
But why did you make a wish to continue being one?

p3
Mako: ...I felt that I could make everyone happy as a woman...
Mako: In that case, being a woman would
//Mako: Make me even happier
Iwa: ...I see

p4
...Manaka

p5
Yes---
//....!?

p6
Mako: I- Iwanami-san!?
Iwa: ...Manaka, I'm...

186
p1
Iwa: At least I'm
//Iwa: Not happy... I'm sad...
Mako: Eh...

p2
...I never said this before

p3
I love you... You as a man
//I really... love you
And I've loved you
//For a long time...

p4
...!?

p5

187
p1
I- Iwanami... -san

p2
Mmm...!
Box: Ah...

p3
---...Ha
Ah...

p4
...I regret now that I haven't said this to you before...
So even if you're a woman now

p5
Even if you love someone else
---I don't want to have any more regrets

p6
I will say this properly...
I'm in love with you
//Manaka... Makoto

188
p1
Uh umm Iwanami-san..
You might not believe me saying this after you just did

p2
Mako: I've loved you too...
Iwa: True, I don't believe it...

p3
There is no way people would like a woman like me
//Someone as stubborn and obnoxious

p4
Iwa: After all, I'm just a "court lady"...
Non bubble: Don't force yourself...
Mako: That's not true!!

p5
Iwanami-san, you've always been straight with me
Both when scolding and when praising
That made me so happy...

p6
I had lost self-confidence in dealing with women
But you were the first woman
//To whom I could talk normally----!!

189
p1
...I was afraid that you'd hate me, Iwanami-san
//That's why I could never confess my feelings...
Non bubble: Scary...
...So this means both of us were cowards... doesn't it?

p2
It's like we were made for each other...
True... isn't it

p3
But... it's too late for regrets now...

p4
...Even now I still...
Love you

p5
...Me too, I love you still...

p6
--------........

190
p1
...Iwanami-san... I

p2
Iwa: Are you embarrassed...? Huhu
//Iwa: I'm embarrassed too, just like you...
Iwa: I don't have a great body like yours...
Mako: It's not true---
Box: You are really... beautiful

p3
No need for compliments...
You were my cute subordinate when you were a man

p4
Iwa: And now I still want you to be my cutie...
//Iwa: Alright?
Mako: ...
Box: Somehow... I'm really frustrated

191
p1
It's not like I'm frustrated with Iwanami-san
The me who wanted to continue as a woman is pathetic

p2
I want this woman

p3
In order to embrace her... These arms

p4
This whole body...

192
p1
Box: I want to feel
Iwa: Manaka...
Box: All of her...

p2
SFX: Monyu ☆
...Hmm?

p3
Iwa: Wa....
//Iwa: Ma- Manaka...!?
Mako: Eh...?

p4
Iwa: Th- That- That....!!
Mako: Eh? What...

p5
Mako: Whoaaaaaaaaaa!?
Non bubble: I'm here ♥
