**Hana is speaking in some sort of dialect (I think it's Kansai) while she's drunk, so if there's a way to express this in English, let me know**
*Takagi calls Akiyama a "hetare". I don't know if this is usually translated in scanlations, because it's difficult to translate exactly. If it can be left the way it is, please change the 2 instances of "chicken" to "hetare".**

pg33
[Lately I, Akiyama Shinichiro, am hooked on- // women's kickboxing!!]

[More accurately, on Natsuno Hana!! // She has a cute face and is ridiculously strong!!]

[But suddenly, she disappeared from the world of kickboxing...]
-: Natsuno Hana is not registered in the tournament listings

Akiyama: Will I ever see her again?

[So then why is she.... why!?]

pg34

Akiyama: Why is she sleeping on a roadside bench at 3a.m!?

pg35
Akiyama: She's real...right?

Akiyama: What should I do? This situation... // I can't just leave her here. What is that doll...

Akiyama: I should walk her home...!!

Akiyama: We're here, Natsuno-san.

Akiyama: Alright // I'll be going now

pg36
Hana: Um... Do you want... // to stay and drink some tea?

Akiyama: Then I'll just have one cup. // And then arm in arm, the two disappear into her bedroom...

Akiyama: No no no!! Not happening!! // Has anything like that happened in my life ‘til now!? // Much less with someone like Natsuno Hana!?
[Impossible!!]

pg37
Akiyama: I-I should calm down. // I'm a level-headed fan.

Hana: Hn...

Akiyama: ...What are you doing at a place like this. // What happened to kickboxing!?

Akiyama: What I want to see // is you shining in the ring-
[Yes, as a level-headed fan]

[OOOH!?]

pg38
Akiyama: So defenceless!!

Akiyama: I’ll take a photo as a keepsake!! // No this is bad, fans shouldn’t do this... // but...

Akiyama: A-alright, got it!!

Akiyama: Just one <3
[Cute]

*startled*

pg39
Hana: Hn.

Akiyama: Who-a

Akiyama: Um, I, // am just a kickboxing fan and... // I mean // A-are you okay!? // Um...

Hana: I'm okay. // I can // kick

Akiyama: Huh?

pg40
[Not good... I made her angry!?]

Hana: Hold the mitt properly, // coach

pg41
Hana: Come on, quickly! // Coach!!

Akiyama: Aah... // what is this!? // Is she drunk? Half-asleep!?
Hana: Coach, properly.

[Coach! // What is it? // Dunno...]
Akiyama: Whaat!? // When did an audience get here!!

-: What are you doing?
Akiyama: Wha-wha-wha?

Hana: Let's go, coach!
Akiyama: Wai-wai-wait!?

Akiyama: E-excuse me!!

[Hn?]

pg42
Ah- what a surprise... // What was that just now // ... but isn't it amazing?

[I was kicked by // Natsuno Hana...!!]
Akiyama: I have to tell Takagi!

Takagi: What? You met that kickboxer!?

Takagi: Ah-, good for you. // Bye now.
Akiyama: It was a coincidence!? Coincidence!! Isn't it a miracle!?

Akiyama: On top of that, she kicked me while half-asleep. // She got me good.
Takagi: Uh-huh.

Takagi: ...so, you’re acquainted with her now?

Akiyama: Huh!? No, I haven't gotten that far...

Takagi: Did you ask for her number and email?

Akiyama: Uh...no, not that....

Takagi: Do you know if she’s single?

Takagi: So you met her, but you got nothing out of it?
Akiyama: But…
*grope grope*
*moans*

pg43
Takagi: You chicken
*shocked*

Akiyama: …oh yeah, I should go get my coat…

*it’s not even here*

pg44
[Why, is she in front of my apartment!?]

Hana: This. // I found your house from the agenda in here.

[She came all the way to deliver this…!? // Wait, she doesn’t remember what happened?]
Akiyama: T-thank you very much
Hana: Goodbye then

Akiyama: U-um // wait…!

pg45
Akiyama: Um…
[This is my second chance!!]

[There might not be another one… // Alright!]

Akiyama: You’re Natsuno Hana, the kickboxer, right? // Do you have a boyfriend? // So-… // um // I have to say something!! // What happened to kickboxing? // Will you be at the next match…// Wi // wi // wi

Akiyama: Will you join me // for dinner tonight?

Akiyama: Ugh // What am I saying… // It’s like a pick-up line…

pg46
[YESSSSSS-!]

Akiyama: Good job inviting her!! I did well!! // What would you like to drink? // Something with alcohol?

Hana: I drank too much yesterday so // just a bit.

Akiyama: …..so cute!!
[Her casual clothes are good too!!]

pg47
Akiyama: Then, to start things off… a toast!

Akiyama: Did you see that, Takagi!! // I just shared a toast with Natsuno Hana!! // And I was the one who invited her!!

Akiyama: Just like this, I’m going to become her friend with the help of alcohol!! // Friends with her!! // …no, to more than friends!!

Hana: *SIGH*
Akiyama: So fast!!

pg48
Hana: *SIGH*
Akiyama: So much!!

Hana: Hn.

Hana: He-ey, are you drinking?
Akiyama: Yes, I am.
Hana: Rea-ally?
Akiyama: Yes
Hana: Huh

Hana: So… who are you?
Akiyama: I’m Akiyama. This is the 4th time…

Akiyama: Um…Natsuno-san. // About… kickboxing.

pg49
Hana: Alright, let’s drink.
Akiyama: I’ve had enough…

Hana: What, are you not feeling well? // Isn’t your face a bit red?

Akiyama: Natsuno-san, that’s…. a vase
Hana: Cold! // You’re not feverish at all!

Hana: …Huh?
*throws away*
Akiyama: Aah!

[No!! Can’t hold a conversation!! // The alcohol has affected her too much!!]
Hana: Hey, are you drinking?
Akiyama: Yes
Hana: He-ey
Akiyama: Yes
Hana: So who are you?
*pant pant*

pg50
Hana: *SIGH*, that’s what I call drinking.

Akiyama: In the end, we didn’t have any meaningful talks…

Akiyama: *sigh* Not even about kickboxing…
Hana: That ain’t the right way.

[ain’t?]
Hana: The fist has to be higher. // Move it forward at the shortest distance. // Keep the right hand on guard.

Hana: Like this…
Akiyama: You’re not even doing it.

Akiyama: …you must really like it. // Kickboxing.

Akiyama: But, why… aren’t you entering matches?

pg51
Hana: I’m not ‘not entering’. // I can’t enter!!

Hana: I have to get stronger with more practice and more matches…
Akiyama: O-okay. Then isn’t it hard for you to see… your boyfriend?
[Yes, I asked!!]

Hana: I don’t have a boyfriend.
Akiyama: Ooooh-!?
[Single!?]

Hana: I have to go higher.

Akiyama: Higher?
[I have a chance too-]
Hana: To the world

pg52
Hana: World champion!!

pg54
Hana: I don’t have time for dating!!

Akiyama: W…world champion!?

Hana: For a boyfriend!!

Hana: J-just throw that away!! // Let’s go

pg55
Hana: We’re here-!
Akiyama: It’s a pretty good place.

Akiyama: Then, I’ll be going now.

Akiyama: *groan* // Is she more than what I was expecting? // A normal person like me wouldn’t be fit for her?

[It ended, with nothing // Takagi, I really am a chicken.]
*SIGH~*

pg56
Akiyama: *pull*

Hana: Do you want to // stay for some tea?

WHAAAT-!?
