Arakawa Under the Bridge 28

p033
Chapter 28. Rick's determination

When Star understood that there's nothing between me and Nino...
He went too far.
{A-ha-ha-ha! Really? It can't be!}

Ah, sorry, sorry.
I completely forgot that

you're such a chicken!
Ah, is it so?
{It it funny?}
Endure... I shouldn't get in more troubles...

I have to stand this ordeal...
Yeah, that's right!
You don't look like a popular guy!

Huh?
Maybe you got Valentine chocolates only from your relatives?
You are really inexperienced!
----------------------------
p034
I think I still...
have a chance!

La-la-la-la...
Hey!
Where are you going, Star?

To invite Nino to a date, of course!
In stead of a useless man who can't even take her out!

I'll make her happy...
Three digits.
Hm?
----------------------------
p035
Every year...
I receive a three-digit number of chocolates.

That's true.
What?
It's like you're a character of some manga!
It's obvious.

I'm intelligent, handsome, and have a glorious future ahead!
If I'm not popular, then who can be?

Star, thanks for your advice.
What?

Inviting Nino to a date...
is my duty as her lover!

At that time, Nino...
I got two cookies today...
{Shut up!}
