Arakawa Under the Bridge 40

Chapter 40. Let's play

Rick didn't have time to escape.
And was stuck looking after Stella alone.

It's a drag!
She's older that the kid we dealt with earlier, she might cause some problems.

First, I'll nonchalantly tell her to play alone.
Ha-ha-ha.

What happened?
{How mature is she?}
Ah, sorry.

Brother, you looked so happy...
Do you have a brother or...
-------------------------------------
p118
I forgot that she grew in an orphanage.

Probably, she doesn't have a single relative!

I'm a single-parent child.
Ah
But this girl doesn't have both parents...

What's up?

I think, just for today...
Okay, Stella.
-------------------------------------
p119
I can become a big brother for her.
Let's play together!
Really?

Yes, what do you want?
Anything is okay.
She's so delighted...

Maybe she had to live alone in England when Sister left.
Anything?
Sure.

She was lonely...
I've never played with little girls.

But I'll try my best.
Errmm
I want you...
------------------------------------
p120
to have a...
one-on-one fight with me!

Fight?
Yes.

A brutal fight without any rules!
I forgot that she was brought up by none other than Sister.
