Arakawa Under the Bridge 24

p003
Aaah.

The spring came, and cherry blossomed undeer the bridge.
I can bear your racket here, but just go away without doing anything else!
But you have the nerve to leave this here!
Oh.
And people from the outside came under the bridge to look at the blossoms.

Why did I remember the saying about "dirtying your own house"?

I'm mad that I have to clean up for others, but we have no other options, so let's start picking up the trash.
Oh

That's true, we should better do it before the wind scatters it.
Oh?

How did they manage to make so mych trash...
Hm?

Chapter 24. Nino and the child

While picking up the trash...
they picked up a child.

I see.
I didn't know.

So when the two lovers are picking up trash under a tree, they can get a child?
I'm sorry, I can't accept it!
{So they're born from the fork of the tree?}
{It surprised me.}

His parents were probably drunk and forgot him here.
How irresponsible!

Hey, Star, what shall we...
------------------------------------
p006
Eh?
Ah, I remember, Star said...

"I don't like children, because they react xecessively when they see my head."
He should blame himself, because he made that outfit on his own!

I'd punch that bastard!
Why?
Rick, do you dislike childrne, too?

A

I hate them.

You'll regret relying asking me.
{What did you just say?}
{Did you think everyone'd be charmed by your appearance?}
Don't gaze like this, it's traumatizing.
-----------------------------
p007
Anyway, we can't leave him here.
That's true...
Then...

Let's leave him at Sister's place.
I think it's his duty...

He's a bad teacher.

I don't know what kind of toys he can give to the child.
{This is Glock-26}
{It's not heavy, even you can handle it.}
Well, you're right, I can see this happening.

Then, shouldn't we go to the police?
It'd be the safest way...
No...
--------------------------
p008
I can't, it won't work, it's very likely that I'll be indebted to the police!
Illegal privatization.
Yeah, that'd be quite risky.

If I act carelessly visiting the police...
{I have some good connections in the police.}
my father might find out that I live here!

Looking at my current situation...
it's very dangerous to contact any people outside!
Then...
Ah, I know!

For the time being, we'll...
Yes, this is our only choice.
Do you agree, boy?
-------------------------
p009
After all, in th end all people are lonely...
Are you going to leave him alone?

Ah, he's burst into tears!
Isn't he hungry?

I don't know anything!
I don't care.
What happened, baby?
Oh my God!

That's why I dislike children!
They think that if they cry, somebody will come to help them!

Life won't be like this forever.
Hm?

He stopped crying?
Nino, how did you manage to...
-----------------------------
p010
I thought that he was probably hungry.
I'm glad that he stopped crying...

But you mustn't resort to violence!
Even I was deceived.
