Kokou no Hito 75

I decided I wouldn't mind dying together with a friend.

[Seriously, best cover picture EVERRRRR.]

Page 42c: [The color page]
[I looked through Heiji-sama's old archives of color pages on Ritual Scan Forge's forum. One was a broken link because the site he used didn't keep them hosted for a long time, but I could find all the other color pages. From here forward.]
Center Insert: Choose the painful path. Move forward all by yourself.

Mori: Well, I'm going.
Please wait here for me.

Page 45:
Niimi: You,
you're planing to go and leave me here?
I get it, Mori.
You don't care if I don't get saved, you're plotting to just save yourself, right!!!?
You just want to abandon me, don't you?
Eh? Isn't that right, Mori!!?
Mori: ...Niimi.
I've explained it a million times, haven't I?

Page 46:
Right down the Bunatate ridge is the Takase Dam.
When I get there and call for rescue, I'll come right back.
Your cell phone's charge is going to run out soon, too. And your charger drifted away with the rucksack.
It would take too much time to get to the next deposit, the cabin at Mount Noguchigorou, would take too much time to get to...

Page 47:
Mori: When I explained it before, you agreed, didn't you, Niimi?
Okay then, I'm going.
SFX: Pasa
Niimi: I gotta piss....
Aah, I'm leaking, I'm leaking!
I think a turd's coming out, too!!!

Page 48:
Mori: That's enough, Niimi!!
Our food supplies are going to run out very soon as well.
If I don't move now, all that'll be left is for us both to die!!!
Niimi: ...!!!
SFX: Byuoo
SFX: Bah
Niimi: Please, Mori, stay with me!!!
I can't take the fear!!!

Page 49:
Niimi: You're the only one I can rely on.
So please, don't leave me alone...!!!

Niimi: -----...I used to be a chase skirts.

I had a part time job at a bar, and this super-cute girl came in for a drink with two friends. And I was in love at first sight.

And when that girl left the shop, and then, without thinking, I forgot about my duty at the store and I won her heart over before I knew it.

I mean, we might never have met again.

And the job? Obviously I got fired.

Niimi: Afterwards I went to her house, and within that day, we did it.

We did it 5 times, we sure were young then.

Her cute face belied how violent she was.

But that was cute, too.

The truth is, she had taken a liking to me at the shot too... Kukuh.

I tumbled into her tiny six-mat room apartment... I guess it's been 2 years already.

She was a kindergarten teacher and I worked part time.

But we used all our income on mountains, so we seriously never hard money.

毎日 閉店間際スーパー行って半額のシールつくの待ってコロッケ買ったり...
Every day I'd go to the supermarket right before it closed and I'd buy croquets there waiting for me with the half-price sticker on them...

We bought a TV and a refrigerator from some old foreign guy from a shady second-hand shop, and within a year they broke...

白銀1号のブレーキ片方ブッ壊れたてっけ
Ah, oh yeah, silver #1's break broke on one side, I think.

[Now the top left area of 7 bubbles]
デートといえばアパート近くの石神井川沿いを散歩してさ
On dates, we walked along Shakujii River that was near the apartment.

In spring they had the most breathtaking sakura.

Near the Saikyou Line railway bridge is the best.

She likes cats, so of her hand always sounded crunchy.

What was crunchy? The cat's dry food!!

Whenever we went out, there were the cutest stray cats waiting for us.

Oh yeah, we never see that one-eyed red cat anymore...

[Now the lower left 5 bubbles.]
I got a real scare one time. Suddenly her father from the country came to Tokyo.

I panicked and hid in the closet with just a pair of underwear on. Heheh.

散々怒鳴れる挙げ句なんとか許してもらったけど
But I got found out pretty soon, and got yelled at horribly, but somehow he forgave me in the end.

Even now, her dad won't talk with me...

Page 56:
Niimi: Her spaghetti got really good.
Because of her I knew carbonera for the first time.
When I we get down this mountain, you can have some, too.
Mori: ...Yeah.

Page 57:
Niimi: Momo-chan---------

Page 58:
Niimi: She
really is
a kind girl...

Page 59:
Niimi: She has a cute smiling face
and she's never once gotten angry...

Page 60:
Niimi: I want to hug that slender body of hers
with all my heart...
Obana: Can I ask you one thing?
Why did you decide not to go down the mountain
and choose to remain in the snow cave with Niimi-kun?

SFX: Dosa
Mori: ......I thought that if I could die together with a friend
then that would be all right, too.
