Chapter 43: That's your spirit

Page 02

Earlier I said I don't know why it turned out like this,
but it's not like I'm completely clueless.
When I was human, I avoided contact with other people.
People are arrogant.

Page 03

Why?
I'm disappointed.
In my case, the arrogant shame was a predator. A tiger.
It ruined me, agonized my family and hurt my friend.
In the end my outer appearance changed according to my heartstrings.

Page 04

Shiteater.
!
....!

Page 05

Aw, I'm hungry.
Let's go buy some bread.
Huh? Where's Kasuga?
Taking a dump?
Let's go ahead! // If we don't hurry, the cornet will sell out.

Page 06

Fuh...
Kyahahaha
No way. For real---
!
Right---
Ahahaha

Page 07

Ah, right, did you hear
about Tokiwa?
I did!
You mean that, right? // Snapping at Kouji-kun.
Yep, that!
Eh, why!?
I heard she covered for Kasuga---
Eh, Kasuga? That Kasuga!? // That dim-wit? Why?
No clue. // Anyway, she just snapped.
And told Kouji-kun "You're boring"!
Eh!

Page 08

What's up with her?
Who knows. Maybe it didn't go well with Kouji-kun.
Eh, they broke up?
I don't know, but Hiroki said it was a topic.
Eh, then Kouji-kun
is free now!
Uwa.
You twisted girl.
Ahaha
Shall we go?
!
Yeah.

Page 09

...Eh.
No way.
Kasuga.
...Ah...
Eh, for real? Did you hear us?
Uwa, so gloomy.
So disgusting. Scary.
Well..
not really...
Hey, hey.
What's going on, Kasuga?

Page 10

What's your relationship with Tokiwa?
You were at their hideout, right? // Why?
Only chosen people are allowed inside there.
Tell me.
What?

Page 11

Ah,
Tokiwa.
Ah, we were just worried about you!
Yep, yep.
Is everything alright with Kouji-kun?
Say.
...Ah,
don't worry.

Page 12

I already made up
with Kouji.
Ah, okay! Good!
We were worried!
Congrats!
Thanks.
Okay, we're going.
See you.
Let's hang out together next time.
Sure.

Page 13

Why didn't you pick up your phone
on Saturday?

Page 14

Eh, // ah.
Sorry!
I... I was a bit distracted..
Ah...
What's up?
Your eyes are even more apathetic than usual.
...
Really...
Well, whatever.

Page 15

Ah...
How's... the novel going..
Yeah...
That's what I called you for. // It's not going all too well.
It's like when I write it down... // it doesn't turn out as good as I thought...
I'm really sick of my lack of writing skill.
Well, I guess I have no talent.

Page 16

That's not true!
You'll be fine, really!!
It's good...!
I swear!!
Yeah.
Thanks.
Ah, // Kasuga-kun, say...

Page 17

My boyfriend, // Kouji
wants to properly apologize to you...
If possible, you could come to the cafe we work at...
He's really sorry about it.
Ah, but if you don't want to
then you don't need to come. // I just passed on the message.

Page 18

...No,
I'll go.
Eh? Really?
You don't really need to mind it, you know?
It's okay.
I also believe I caused some troubles. // Besides
if I just continue to ran away, // nothing is going to change.

Page 19

...Okay.

Page 20

Welcome.
Oh?
What's up, Aya-chan?
You had a shift today?

Page 21

Ah, hello. // No, I came as a costumer today.
Ah, sorry for taking off the other day.
Ah, it's fine.
Take your time.
Ehm, a hot white coffee and...
a hot chocolate. Is that all?
Thank you for your order!
AH

Page 22

Kasuga-kun!
Sorry for making you came here. And thanks.
Ah...
No..
Sorry, Aya. // My break is soon, so wait a bit.
Yeah.
Ah, just order whatever you want.
It's on me.
Really?
Then I'll take a brown sugar latte.
Ah, same for me...

Page 23

Thanks for your order!
Just wait a bit.
Welcome.

Page 24

Ah, oops.
I'm a costumer right now...
Aya-chan!
You want to work today then?
Ahaha // Sorry, Master.
Really thanks
for coming!

Page 25

No..
It's okay.
As about before...
I'm sorry.
No, likewise.
I feel bad too for causing troubles...

Page 26

Nah, that's not true.
Actually, I'm grateful to you, Kasuga-kun.
If not for you,
I would have gotten hated by Aya, not knowing why...
But thanks to it I noticed.
That I was a real idiot..
And that I didn't consider Aya's feelings at all...

Page 27

That's for sure! // You're always influence by your surroundings.
Always smiling, getting carried away... // and thinking anything goes.
Haha... Sorry.
I'll change now.
I promise.
Actually, I realized how much I love you, Aya.
Any normal couple would have broken up now.
There you go again.

Page 28

Ahaha // Sorry, really.
Friends
again?
...Yes.

Page 29

Kasuga-kun,
thank you.
No problem..
Fuh. // I thought about quitting
that job though.

Page 30

Hey,
do you think I'm stupid?
Eh..
Why...?
No...
Forget it..
Hey Kasuga-kun,
anything happened?
You're completely different from last week.

Page 31

Tokiwa-san,
I..
Tokiwa-san,
make sure to write the novel to the end.
If you like, I can read what you have so far // and give advice... though it's insolent of me.
But if I can by of any help...

Page 32

No, it's fine.
It's not at a state to be read.
I want to work hard on my own for now.
I see...
Okay. Good luck...

Page 33

Okay...
I'm going this way.
Yeah.
See you...
Bye, bye.

Page 34

Tokiwa-san!
....Yes?

Page 35

Ah...
It's nothing. Sorry.
