Insert: I'm surprised by the odd tastes my big sister has in men...
Title: #048 Damo Tamaki's Traces

Page 2-3:
Damo: Mu...
Insert: The first boyfriend the eldest daughter, Hato, has ever brought home...!!
Damo: Much like how beautifully you raised Hato-chan,
that view of your property
out the window really is quite wonderfu~~~l.
Nori: A~~~~H
......
I guess that sofa's a bit narrow.
Feel free to shift over here if you want.
Damo: No thanks...

Page 4:
Hato: You sure you don't want to move over theeere?
Damo: No, I'm fine.
I'm in the seat.
SFX: CRACK CRACK
Nori: ............
Well...
What my daughter 'Hato' thinks is good, what makes her 'happy' makes me happy...

Page 5:
Nori: And that's what makes the family 'happy'.
I'm glad you came......
How about we all have some champagne?
So,
how exactly
did the two of you acquainted with one another?
Mgh
SFX: SQUEEK SQUEEK
Nori: This is the first time Hato's brought a boyfriend home.
Hato: Uhuhu.

Page 6:
Hato: Uhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Nori: ~~~~~kh
Hato: Uhuhuhuhuhuhu
Nori: Hey, that's enough of that, you two!!
I won't allow it!
At the very least, I won't be having any of that in my house!
Hato: Huh? It's just a kiss, Dad.
I mean, there's already been 5 whole times that we...
Nori: Don't say that in front of me!
Hato: No, wait...
Nori: Hato! You said '2 times' before, didn't you?!
Hato: Well we had sex 2 times but we bathed together 5 times.
Nori: Uh. Kuh.
Please don't say tha~~~~t!
Why'd you have to go and say i~~~~t?!

Page 7:
Daiya: I'm here for you, Papa!
Shuu: Woops!
SFX: POHN
Shuu: Ah, I slipped.

Page 8:
SFX: GONN
Shuu: Sorry!
My finger slipped pretty badly there.
That wasn't on purpose.
...I must've touched something that made my fingers all slippery.
!?

Page 9:
SFX: KORON

Page 10:
Shuu: Huh?
Yasuho: Hello?
Jousuke?
Jou: Uh,
what was I just...
Ah!
That's right.
Hello, sorry,
Yasuho-chan.

Page 11:
Yasuho: I found a photo of that "Josefumi" person.
It's of his 'passport'.
I couldn't find any others. Just the one... of anything recent.
Jou: You found a headshot of him on a passport?
He had one, then...?
And?
Yasu: 'And' what?
Jou: Does his face look like mine?
Is there any resemblance?

Page 12:
Yasuho: Resemblance? To you?
Uh......
Well......
No, he doesn't look a thing like you.........
It might just be the angle the photo's taken at. I did only find one.
Hey, do you have a fax machine hooked up to that phone?
Jou: Yeah.
Yasu: I'll just send over this photo.
Jou: Thanks.
Now that we know his face, try looking for that 'Josefumi's' address.
I'll call you back later.
Karera called me 'Josefumi'.
He's in the 'family register', too.
That person in the photo she said was of 'Kira' and 'Josefumi' that she showed me,
was that me?

Page 13:
Hato: So, the 'Cleaning Shop'.
Listen to this, Papa!
There are lots of customers that will come to the shop to get things 'cleaned',
but will then never come back later to pick them up!
Like, a ton of them! Would you believe that?!
There's a mountain of new brand items there! Nobody came to pick up a mink coat that cost 10s of millions of yen.
Who the hell would forget something like that?
Nori: Are you saying you became interested in him because he gave you that as a present?
Hato: Aa~~~~ Papa! That sounds so mea~~~n!
Don't be like that!

Page 14:
Nori: Where in Morioh is your cleaning store?
You said it's called "Damokan Cleaning", didn't you?
Is it near Mutsukabe Shrine?
Damo: Yes... It is at the back of the train station.
Nori: Hm! ...?
Is that right......?
I'll have to check it out next time I'm around there... Has it been around long?
Damo: We just renewed recently.
Hato: It's next to a photo studio.
I was working there doing a photo shoot for a designer.
I had a necklace on right here!
It also had the designer's accessory on it.

Page 15:
Hato: Then
KABOOOOOM!
The string suddenly snapped and it scattered all over.
I was so sorry!
Of course I didn't want to break the accessory!
But the designer and the cameraman
were steaming mad!
And then 'he' showed up, delivering some cleaned clothes for the photo shoot.
'He' found and picked up every little piece that had fallen off...
then, just by looking at a photo of the design,
he somehow remade the entire necklace.
Shuu: Hmph! So you got interested in him because he put it back how it was, huh?
Hato: BZZZZZ
Wrooong! [Heart]
Too ba~~~~d!

Page 16:
Hato: Here's the fixed necklace!
If you look reaaaaaal closely, you'll see it's got a different design.
It has the characters for 'I love you' in i~~~~~~t!! [quote big/bold.]
SFX: JYAN
Hato: KYAAAAAAAAA!
That was sooooooo coooooooool!
Wasn't iiiiiit! [Heart] Kan-chaaaaan!
T/N: 'Kan' is different reading of his first name.
SFX: SCRATCH SCRATCH

Nori: Kuh............
Shuu: Hey, Dad!
Dammi~~~t!
You like him because of that? Gee~~~~z, women.
That sorta thing is suuuuuuch bullshi~~t!
Daiya: That wonderful! [Heart]
Jou: Um,
Norisuke-san,
I have somewhere I need to go.
So, excuse me, I'll be stepping out.
Nori: Hm?!
Ah... Okay.
But before you go, where's Nijimura-san?
I don't see her anywhere... Could you call her for me?
Jou: .................

Page 18:
Jou: Okay.
Damo: I...
would like to be excused for a minute, too......
I just need a minute to wash my hands.
Nori: Joushuu.
Shuu: It's down the hall.

Jou...
I think it's a copy of a passport.

Page 38:
Nori: Josefumi?
Hato: Hey, let me see it, too.
Daiya: Noooope! This fax is probably for Jousuke.
How could I just let you see it?
Nori: Hey, would that happen to be a fax from that Yasuho girl?
Is he investigating Jousuke's identity or something?
Hato: Huh?
