pg01
Chihiro: Like I've said, //don't get in my bed without my permission, Madoka!!

Chihiro: Sleep in your own room!
*slam*

Madoka: It's okay. You'll get used to it, Chihiro.
*beams*
Chihiro: I'm saying it because I don't want to get used to it!!!

Chihiro: Aargh, what should I do about him?

Chihiro: Do I have to get a guard dog? //A guard dog...

pg02
[A dog... that'd be nice //since my apartment before didn't allow pets!]
Handwritten text: Yearning...

Chihiro: But walking the dog seems like a lot of trouble...
Handwritten text: Realistic
*sigh*
*dog whine*

*pant pant*
Text on the box: Please take me home

Handwritten text: Wow... how timely

pg03
Handwritten text: I mean...
Chihiro: What, someone threw you away?
*bark bark*

Chihiro: ...with this size, maybe my room is...

Chihiro: Can't, can't. //Madoka is trouble enough, let alone taking care of a dog too
*shake shake*

CHIHIRO: Bye. I'm sure a good person will take you home.

*whine whine whine whine whine*
*feels guilty*

pg04
[What are you gonna do now? //I don't know...]
*dog whine*

Chihiro: ...I'm home

Keiichiro: Chihiro-kun, welcome back.
Chihiro: Keiichiro-san, where's Madoka?

Keiichiro: Madoka-sama is taking a walk in the garden. //Do you have some urgent business?
Chihiro: Um...
*sneeze*

pg05
Chihiro: Ah, //Madoka!

*alarmed*
Madoka: W-welcome back Chihiro.

Chihiro: Yeah, I'm home. //Hey...
*sneeze*

Chihiro: ...Did you catch a cold?
Madoka: No, I'm fine... //Well? If you need me, maybe later...
*stride stride stride*

Keiichiro: Excuse me

*pull*

pg06
*meow*
*smile*
Keiichiro: Madoka-sama, what's this?

Madoka: It's a...c-cat...
*flustered*

*beep*
[Adoption Network]
Keiichiro: Hello, this is Shinozaki. //Yes, I have a kitten. Around 1 month old, male, black and short-haired, with a white right paw and blue eyes. //Yes. //Thank you very much. I'll leave it to you.

Keiichiro: Well then, I'll be taking the kitten.
Handwritten text: Fast!!
Madoka: No~

pg07
Keiichiro: ... No, it's not, 'No~'

Keiichiro: How many times do I have to tell you. //You have cat allergy so don't bring home a cat!
Madoka: But it’s been crying since last night
Keiichiro: If you keep this up, I'll take away the photos too
Handwritten text: of cats
Madoka: You're a monster~!!

Handwritten text: Keiichiro's an idiot
*cries*
Keiichiro: Ah, Chihiro-kun, sorry about that //You needed Madoka-sama?
*shake shake*
Chihiro: N-no...
Keiichiro: ?

*sits cutely*

[...W- //what should I do.....]

pg08
Chihiro: No, maybe it's the opposite. //Since it's a dog, and not a cat...
Handwritten text: Maybe I won't be scolded...

[...it might be worse...]
Handwritten text: Refer to chapter 1

Chihiro: I-it'll be okay //I'll look for someone who can take good care of you
*pets*

[I don't have a choice]

pg09
Handwritten text: Be good okay
*whines*
*ssh!*

[Now that it's like this, //I've got to hide it until I find an owner...]

Madoka: I'm hurt //Having Chi-chan comfort me is the only thing I can do now
*sniffle*

Madoka: Ah~ Relaxing~
Handwritten text: Cute~ <3
Chihiro: ... so you like cats
Madoka: Yup <3

Handwritten text: Just to make sure
Chihiro: W-what about dogs?

pg10
Madoka: That's not a pet. //It's a ferocious beast

Madoka: If you let your guard down, it'll become bigger than people and attack! //Letting a beast like that roam free is wrong...!
[Childhood trauma]
*lies on top*
Handwritten text: No~ Help me~
Chihiro: R...really

Madoka: What? What's wrong?
Handwritten text: I put a tail on it
Chihiro: N-nothing
I'll go make tea
*hurry hurry*

pg11
Friend1: Ah, I live in a high-rise, so can't
Friend2: Sorry, I've got a cat
Hino: We've already got 3 dogs...
Handwritten text: Too much

-: My mom hates dogs

-: We can't keep pets

-: Can't

-: No

Chihiro: I guess it's not so easy to find...
*sigh*

Friend1: I'm surprised Komiya picked up the stray when you couldn't keep it
Hino: Didn't you say if you can't take responsibility, leave it alone?
Handwritten text: When I took home a stray
Chihiro: I did but

Chihiro: but if no one picked it up it might've died
Hino: Well, yeah

pg 12
Hino: But where are you hiding that dog?
Chihiro: Huh? In my room
Friend2: Dogs bark so wouldn't that be easily discovered? //If he dislikes dogs so much, it might get sent to the dog pound...

Mail:
Receive Mail //Chihiro //No Subject //If you come near my room, no dinner for you

*drops*

Madoka: ... //I just got threatened by Chihiro
Keiichiro: What?

pg13
Madoka: He's been acting weird since yesterday.

Keiichiro: Weird…you say?
Madoka: Yeah. Like his mind is elsewhere.

Madoka: Even when I put cat ears on him and tickled him, he didn't get mad
Handwritten: Something's wrong...
Keiichiro: What are you doing?

Madoka: Also, he said he was going to eat in his room and took his food away//but he got mad when I brought food into the room before
Keiichiro: That’s because Madoka-sama doesn't clean up

Madoka: ...Am I //not trustworthy after all?

pg14
*door closing*
Chihiro: I'm home!

Keiichiro: Chihiro-kun, you're awfully earl...
*stomp stomp stomp stomp*

*door slamming*

*alert*

Chihiro: It’s here...
*relieved*

*good boy*
Chihiro: Guess I should think of another hiding place...
Keiichiro: ...Oh I see

pg15
Keiichiro: You seem to have inherited the slightly careless part too...
*startled*

Keiichiro: You kept you door open

Keiichiro: So, a stray dog. //Have you found someone willing to take it in?
Chihiro: Not yet
*deflated*

Keiichiro: Alright. I'll ask around acquaintances as well.
Handwritten text: Although most of them prefer cats.
Chihiro: !! Really?

pg16
Keiichiro: If you tell us the problem, we can at least help you.

Chihiro: ...I- //I'm sorry

Keiichiro: ...Isn't there //someone else you need to apologize to first?

pg17
Chihiro: Um... s- //sorry for doing something so selfish...

Chihiro: Ah
*walks away*

Chihiro: Madoka...

pg18
Madoka: For now //can you hide that dog away somewhere...
[Evacuating]
Handwritten text: Oh, sorry

[Waiting in a separate room]
Handwritten text: Please don't drool on me

Madoka: ...so?
Chihiro: Y-yeah...

Chihiro: S-//sorry for not telling you. //But //um...
[What should I do //Like expected, he's angry]

pg19
[Stay strong //I'm the one who took it home //I have to]
Chihiro: I-

Chihiro: I know it's not bad but //I'll definitely find it an owner so until then, please let it stay here.
Madoka: Okay
Handwritten text: Answers swiftly

Chihiro: Wha-?
Madoka: I may not like dogs

Madoka: but I can still listen to Chihiro’s requests

pg20
Madoka: Why didn't you tell me?
[Oh]

Madoka: Did you //think I wouldn't even listen to you?

[No //I hurt him]

pg21
*gets up*
Chihiro: Madoka //I'm sorry

Chihiro: Next time, I'll tell you from the beginning

Chihiro: So um... t //thanks in advance...?

pg22
*laughter*
Handwritten text: What the!?
Chihiro: D- //don't laugh!

Madoka: ...Okay
*chuckle chuckle*

Madoka: Thanks Chihiro.
*ticked off*
**よろしくshould translate to "Take care of me" but I had to change the meanings in the two instances so that the situation would make more sense

Madoka: But I'm not going to take care of the dog!!
Chihiro: I wasn't expecting you to...

*knock knock*

pg23
Madoka: Chi-chan <3 //Now that we're good, let's sleep //toge-

Chihiro: If you're okay with this guy being there then sure
Madoka: It's not okay!!
In the arrow: Running away

Chihiro: Oh yeah, he's going to stay in my room for now //so be careful when you come in
*smile*
Madoka: What is that, a trap!!!
Handwritten text: A barrier?!
