Arakawa Under the Bridge 8

p065
Chapter 8. A place to rest

Eh?
A dream?
My first morning after
I started to live under the bridge.

Wh...what a scary dream...
I want to forget it!
Forget it!
I have to get of rid of it while I can still do it!

Uh

My neck!!
Damn it, damn it! Damn it!
Caption: He woke up with a crick in his neck.

Ah
---------------------
p066
Crick in my neck, nightmares...
it's not strange, because sleeping here peacefully is impossible!

This bed is probably...

very hard...

Or perhaps Is hould call it...
"futon"?

This isn't a futon!
It's a piece of cloth!
It's so early and you are already noisy, Rick...
-------------------------
p067
Futon?

Yes.
Isn't using this futon sort of cruel?

Yesterday I was in high spirits
so I thought that even this cloth would pass
Nino: Hey, are you okay with this futon?
Kou: Yes, of course! I'll use it!
Caption: Yesterday

It's just a cloth! It can't protect me from anything!
I see

By the way
There's one thing I want to ask you
---------------------------
p068
Who
are you?

Kou: Huh?
Kou: Wait
Nino: You came all the way here...
Nino: That's it. You're probably

from the pigeon carrion association.

You're wrong.

Don't interrupt me...
You're
definitely wrong.
----------------------------
p069
So you mean that you've really forgotten?
Yesterday you told me that you'd forget me if you don't see me for one day, but...

Ah, I remember that conversation.
Luckily she remembers at least
This level of acquaintance?!

You're my lover

Yeah.

So do you remember or not?
Yes, of course.
So, what's with the futon?
------------------------------
p070
There's no other futon.
I have only one.

Huh?
You mean that...

including the futon you gave to me yesterday, you have only two?
No, just one.

Eh, then you mean.

That yesterday you lent me the only futon you had...
I have a lot of newspapers though.

Eh, then, that's...

.....

S...
------------------------
p071
Stop this!!
Why do you have fits again?
It's your fault!
// Caption: Let's explain!
// When Kou can't repay a debt to somebody, he has a stress that causes fits of asthma.

Is it so?
No, it's my fault

Could you show me around your house?
Sure
If I think a bit
Nino probably has some futons in her house.

I wanted to understand better
what the life under the bridge is like.
I will
examine it thoroughly!

p072
It's velvet!!
Hmmm
I though that I wouldn't mind showing my nightmare.
