#1 Forcing, Interruption, Negotiations

Youkadou: It’s all right—you can sleep.
Seiyuu: Ah,
SFX: clatter clatter

SFX: clatter
Seiyuu: No,
I’m not sleepy...

[Page 3]
SFX: Slam

Seiyuu: Mnn.

Seiyuu: Ah.

Seiyuu: Wai—
SFX: thud

[Page 4]
Seiyuu: Um...
On second thought, I can’t do this.

Seiyuu: Mnn!

[Page 5]
Seiyuu: No!
Youkadou: Ack!
SFX: Wham

Seiyuu: Ahh!
Are you OK?!
Youkadou-san!
Youkadou: No...
*I’m not OK.

Seiyuu: Does it hurt...?

*Hahaha
Youkadou: Well, this bed is really small after all.
I didn’t think I’d fall, though.
Seiyuu: I’m so sorry.

Seiyuu: A—
Are you angry?
SFX: Pfft
Youkadou: Oh, no.

SFX: stab stab stab stab stab
Youkadou: Even though my female coworker is a SELFISH woman
Who LED ME ON
And followed me all the way to my place, but REJECTED me at the VERY LAST MOMENT,
I’m not pissed off
AT ALL, you know?
Seiyuu: Uwahhh

[Page 6]
Seiyuu: I’m sorry.

Seiyuu: I...
Already have a boyfriend. It’s a long distance relationship, but still.
If I do it with you,
I’ll be cheating on my boyfriend, right?

Youkadou: You know what, Seiyuu-san?
THIS is enough to be called cheating.
Don’t you think?
Seiyuu: Eh?!

Youkadou: So, see, it doesn’t make much a difference,
So let’s just do it.
Seiyuu: Ehhhh?!
That’s wrong!
The bottom line is, when asked how far one can go without being called a cheater,
*You know,
Men also say that it’s fine as long as they don’t have sex, right?!
SFX: Moves closer

[Page 7]
Youkadou: Then what should I do
About this bulge in my pants?
Seiyuu: Eh?!
Ah!
SFX: Rustle

Seiyuu: I’m sorry...
*Tch
Youkadou: Man...

Youkadou: Well,
It’s all right.

Youkadou: I don’t like forcing girls
When it comes to this.

Youkadou: I’m sorry. Don’t leave.
*This bed is small, but
If you don’t hate it, please sleep here with me.
And when we wake up,
Please have lunch with me or something.

[Page 8]
Seiyuu: Youkadou-san...
Um...
I’m sorry that it turned out like this.
If there’s anything
I can do to apologize...

Youkadou: Have sex with me, then.
Seiyuu: A—
Anything but that...
Youkadou: Ehh?

Youkadou: Then,
How about all the stuff before that?
Seiyuu: All the stuff before that?

[Page 9]
Youkadou: Recently, I’ve been spending all my weekends lonely by myself,
So please make me feel that I have a girlfriend, for just a little bit.
I feel bad for your boyfriend in Nagoya,
But if you go to see movies and have dinner with me and stuff,
Like what real couples do on dates,
That’s enough for me.

Seiyuu: If you’re fine with that...

That sounds like fun!

< Sorry, Nagoya boy.
< I love her, too.
< Only for today,
< She will be my girlfriend.

[Page 10]
Youkadou: Watch a movie,
Go shopping,
And eat together

Youkadou: Wait

Youkadou: By watching a movie, I didn’t mean this kind of rental DVD in a local store like this!
Seiyuu: Ah!
This already became a DVD!
*Even though I’m saying that, I’m still picking DVDs to rent.

Seiyuu: I’ll pick this one.
Youkadou: Zombie?!
Eeek! What bad taste you have!

Seiyuu: Please just leave me alone!
What about you, Youkadou-san?
Eh? A Korean melodrama?!
You’re like a middle-aged married woman.
Youkadou: Please just leave me alone!

Seiyuu: Now that we’ve rented movies,
Next,
It’s shopping, right?

[Page 11]
Youkadou: Bargain priced
Hall of fame...
*That’s right. If you want cheap things, this IS the place.
Seiyuu: Ah!
Wow, this is amazing! Look, Youkadou-san!

Youkadou: Say, Seiyuu-san,
A date is more, like,
Sexy, you know?
Why don’t we go into the city center,
And visit some stylish places, or something?
Seiyuu: That’s a waste.

Seiyuu: A long distance relationship
Costs money.
SFX: Irritated

Youkadou: Like I said,
I’ll pay! I’m single anyway.
I want to spend money on a woman every now and then!
Seiyuu: I can’t let you do that!
It’s not like we’re dating for real,
And I’m doing this as an apologize to you!

Youkadou: What are you trying to choose?

[Page 12]
Seiyuu: A frying pan and a ladle.
You don’t have these at your place.

Seiyuu: Can you buy these for me?
Youkadou: Eh?
Ah,
Sure, but
Um...
Then
That means

Youkadou: Y—
You’re going to cook?
Seiyuu: Yes
SFX: Clack
You want to eat together
Right?

Youkadou: H—
Heh...
Seiyuu: Ah
You’re finally happy now?
*How cute
Glad to know that.

Youkadou: Tch

Youkadou: You’re covering up with pretty words,
But aren’t you cutting corners here?
You go on actual dates with your Nagoya boy.
Seiyuu: Yes, I do.

[Page 13]
SFX: Grab

Seiyuu: Ehehe
How’s this?
Does it make you feel
Like we’re a couple?

SFX: Squeeze

[Page 14]
Seiyuu: Ahahahahaha

Youkadou: Urgh
What the heck was that? What a horrible movie.
*Ahaha
Seiyuu: It was really bad, wasn’t it?
That’s amazing!

Youkadou: Damn it. I’m sorry for choosing such a weird one.
Seiyuu: Why?

Seiyuu: Even though it was bad, as long as you have someone to laugh at it with,
It’s fun in itself, isn’t it?

Seiyuu: My boyfriend—
Ah

Never mind.

[Page 15]
Youkadou: What is it?
Do you want to complain about your boyfriend?

If it’s not going well between you two,
You can just break up with him.
Just break up!

SFX: Stands up

Seiyuu: I’m sorry for staying here until so late.
I’ll clean up the dishes
And go home.
SFX: Clack clack
Youkadou: Eh?

Youkadou: I was just kidding.
You can complain about your boyfriend or anything to me.
I’ll listen.
Really, I was joking.
So please stay a bit longer...

Youkadou: Was it boring to be with me?

[Page 16]
Seiyuu: Youkadou-san you idiot!

Seiyuu: I wish it was boring
But
I shouldn’t have fun when I’m with you
If I stay here
Any longer...

Seiyuu: Ah—

Seiyuu: N—
No!
You promised me that you won’t
Do it

Youkadou: I don’t care anymore!

Youkadou: You’re so cruel, Seiyuu-san.
You led me on like that,
But you don’t ever plan to come back here, do you?

[Page 17]
Seiyuu: Ah!

Seiyuu: Mnn
SFX: tremble

Youkadou: At least, please be mine for today only.
I don’t care even if it’s cheating...

Do you
Hate me?

Seiyuu: I don’t hate you
So we can’t do this.

Seiyuu: We...
Get along well as coworkers, don’t we?
We’re friends, right?
If so...
We can
Eat together
And watch videos together,
Right?

[Page 18]
Seiyuu: But if we have sex,
Our relationship will break apart.
I will probably pretend like I don’t know you even if I see you at the company.
And I’ll have to ask someone else
To stay overtime with me...

Youkadou: I don’t want it
To be like that...

Youkadou: I understand.
Then,
How about this?

[Page 19]
Youkadou: We won’t have sex
So please date me
For a little bit more.

Youkadou: When you’re lonely without your boyfriend around,
Why don’t we use each other as convenient substitutes
Until I find a real girlfriend?

Youkadou: If it turns out that we don’t fit each other,
Or either of us doesn’t want to do that anymore, we’ll call it off right away.
How does that sound?

Youkadou: We’ll only have meals together,
And when we’re lonely, we can seek comfort in each other. That’s all there is.
I promise I won’t have sex with you.
It’s like, more than friends but not really lovers.

Youkadou: Seiyuu-san
You don’t always have to be so uptight.
You should just use men for your convenience,
And when you’re fed up with them, just throw them away.

[Page 20]
SFX: Pfft
Seiyuu: You’re so weird.

SFX: Ding
Some girl: And then, you know
SFX: vvvrrr

[Page 21]
Girl: He suddenly said he has work, and he, like, totally canceled our date.
Ise-tan just started dating recently, right?

Yeah.
She’s still totally lovey-dovey with her boyfriend,
Unlike my boyfriend and me.
Ise: Eh? But Daiei-chan,
You were with him last weekend, right?!
Daiei: Well,
Yeah.

Girl: They have so much free time.
I don’t know if they’re at a period when they get tired of their boyfriends or whatever,
But how can they make such a fuss about something so trivial?
Seiyuu: You should find yourself a boyfriend, too, Maruetsu-chan.

Maruetsu: I’m fine being single, really.
So,
How about you, Seiyuu?
Did you go to Nagoya again last weekend?
Seiyuu: Eh?!

Seiyuu: Yeah,
Like usual.

[Page 22]
Maruetsu: Spending a normal weekend
With your beloved one.
How nice.
Even though it’s a long distance relationship,
You still get along well, huh?

Maruetsu: Anyway,
We have a meeting.
Seiyuu: Yeah, bye.

SFX: vvvrrr
Youkadou: Liar.

Seiyuu: I didn’t lie.
SFX: leer
Youkadou: Heh—
I see.
*You spent the weekend with your beloved one, huh?

Seiyuu: You’re such a bully.
OK, I lied.
I hate you.
Youkadou: Ah!

[Page 23]
Youkadou: Come to think of it,
There’s a sequel
To that DVD.
SFX: Ding
Seiyuu: Eh?

SFX: Chatter chatter
Random guy: I was told this during the time of that contract—

Seiyuu: I’ll visit you to check it out later,
So please keep it there for me.

SFX: Ding
