Page 73 Title 3rd. day - Hot meals Page 74 3 Uncle Sora Well, that must have been quite a surprise!! 4 Masahiko ..... Page 75 1 Uncle Sora But it's not a big problem!! Masahiko ..... Uncle Sora It is just a change of gender and the roles in the family... And you can't tell from the outside, right?! 2 Shion .... 3 Shion It's a big problem ... for that amateur... 4 Uncle Sora It doesn't change anything. Well, if the family connection is good, we aren't going to be defeated, or what, Yukari? Aunt Yukari Sure. Page 76 1 Masahiko Thanks for breakfast. 2 Aunt Yukari You already had enough, Masahiko-san? 3 Masahiko I have a small appetite... Uncle Sora Oioi, missing breakfast is bad for a boy. You have to eat regularly, hahahaha. 4 Masahiko I have... Because I drank too much. 5 Uncle Sora & Aunt Yukari .... 7 Shion Thanks for breakfast. Uncle Sora ...Shion. Page 77 1 Uncle Sora I want to talk to you afterwards. Shion Okay. 2 Uncle Sora Truly... 3 Uncle Sora I got drunk... Quite an outrageous show. 4 Uncle Sora The colleagues and I danced naked in his presence, in front of him. Quite overdoing it... 5 Aunt Yukari It's not your fault, is it. At best he'll understand later what happened. Don't worry. Note of the author: A next hot kiss-scene of the couple which I had planned was cut... ^_^;; Page 78 1 narration I know very well that they are very kind, the two of them.... 2 narration Strange, they really seem to be a normal husband and wife. But... That's not the problem. It's more, how do you call it? Physiological? ...In other words, 3 narration If I stay here, my lack of appetite will continue. Masahiko ..... 4 narration Thus, in other words... 7 narration In other words... Page 79 2 Masahiko ..... 3 Masahiko Really... I won't go back. I don't have the money to pay the movers. 4 Masahiko After this what will I do.. 6 Uncle Sora Shion!! Where are you, Shion!! 7 Uncle Sora Don't hide, show yourself!! Aunt Yukari What are you yelling about. Shion went out a while ago. Page 80 1 Uncle Sora That girl... She ran away!! 2 Uncle Sora That girl is really the ringleader in this situation... Aunt Yukari .... 3 Aunt Yukari Masahiko ... went out too, it seems... His bicycle has gone... 4 Aunt Yukari ...Will he come back... I wonder... Uncle Sora .... 7 Uncle Sora Don't worry, we're his only relatives, it will be alright. Let's cook him something nice!! 8 Uncle Sora Let's prepare a welcome party. I'll help!! Page 81 2 Aunt Yukari Yes... 3 Aunt Yukari But, don't make me refuse our collaboration. Accept what is entrusted to you even when you don't understand. Uncle Sora What are you saying, you don't know my cooking talent? Aunt Yukari I know it, that's what I mean. 4 Shop attendant Welcome. 5 Shop attendant Do you want me to heat the o-bentou (lunchbox)? 6 Masahiko No... 7 Shop attendant That'll make 625 Yen. narration ...Once food that has cooled down is warmed up..., it becomes just unappetizing, unpleasant. 8 Shop attendant Thank you very much. Page 82 1 Masahiko Bon appetite. narration Cold rice is still delicious... Just have to get used to it. How long has it been. 2 narration Since I started to eat cold food. 3 Masahiko .... 4 Masahiko It has completely cooled off, papa. 5 Father What? Have you still not eaten? Masahiko I felt like eating together with you. 6 Father Because I'm late. Eat it warm, didn't I tell you? 7 Masahiko ...Yes... Page 83 1 Father From now on I'll have to do a lot of overtime. Don't cook for two and wait for me. Masahiko ...Yes. 2 narration As I was eating alone, cooking a single portion of rice seemed foolish. Before I knew it, I often ate a lunchbox from the convenient store. 3 narration Our rice cooker was rarely used. It became a kitchen decoration. 4 narration I ate rice cooked in it when mama was still alive. Really... I don't remember... 5 Masahiko ..... Page 84 1 Shion Waah! 3 Masahiko Shion-san, what are you doing here!? Shion It must be lonely somehow, to eat here. 4 Masahiko I love a cold meal. Leave me alone!! Shion Get serious. 5 Shion I'll treat you to more delicious food, let's go together. 7 Masahiko Did you come to take me back!? I'm not joking. Who would want to belong to such a male transvestite house, or something. 8 Shion I too would like to leave home together with you. Page 85 2 Masahiko Huh...? 3 Masahiko You feel like running away from home!? Shion Not because of you!! There is a time, being a grown up woman I said I wished for independence and to part from my family. Masahiko But... what would you family say!? 4 Shion Well. Both my parents will probably be very much opposed to it. Although they were for sure independent from their high school days. 5 Shion I have been waiting for this chance to live together with someone to come. Masahiko Living... Together!? 6 Shion Nobody wants to rent an apartment to a 16 year old girl, I need some adult to give them a guarantee. Together with you I can somehow do it, don't you think? 8 Masahiko Living... Together!? Page 86 1 Shion I tell you however, that you and me won't be having a sexual relation. Just to make sure! 2 Shion For today we can stay at a hotel. Masahiko Wai.. Wait a minute!! 3 Masahiko You have such a good family, don't you? Won't you be with them? Shion It's not a question of good or bad, I want to be independent. Without family, it's you maybe who doesn't understand. Masahiko But both you parents will worry. Change you mind, go back home!! 4 Shion .... 5 Shion Change my mind? And that coming from a person who kind of rejected my father and mother. Your speech doesn't seem to be believable. 6 Shion They've just swapped sex. Would you stay away from them because of that...!? Page 87 1 Shion Understood, I won't ask you. You're merely talking and have no ability to act!! Masahiko Ah... 2 Shion I won't go back either. In this area I'll find a skirt chaser and throw myself to the first guy passing!! 4 Masahiko .... 5 Masahiko No kidding, how many skirt chasers... 7 Very familiar skirt chaser ^_^ Really, at my place? Shion Yes, I have no place to go. Page 88 2 Shion what are you doing!! Don't bother me. You wouldn't have anything to do with me. 3 Masahiko Understood..., understood. We'll go together!! 4 Very familiar skirt chaser ^_^ Ah... Page 89 2 Masahiko What is going on...? 3 Masahiko Because she said hotel (I thought) surely an ordinary hotel ... 4 Shion Will you take a shower too? It feels good. Masahiko I'm fine! 5 Shion But an ordinary hotel is expensive and the check-in is a problem. 5 Shion Sigh. So refreshing. Masahiko .... Page 90 4 Masahiko I... Tonight can I restrain myself...? 5 Masahiko I don't have much confidence in myself. 6 Masahiko Supposingly she really---- Note of the author: That's what he's thinking!! 7 Masahiko Like that... 8 He.... Page 91 1 Masahiko No kidding, maybe once... Shion It's not the number of times that is important!! Just how to raise the kids!! 2 Shion We have to go home together now!! Take your responsibility too and let's go back together. 3 Masahiko Responsibility!? 4 Uncle Sora Haha Masahiko-kun, now you are really our son!! Aunt Yukari The four of us are getting along well, no, the five of us are getting along well. 6 Masahiko I have to restrain myself... 7 Shion Well when you have finished thinking, let's sleep. Page 92 1 Shion What are you doing? We'll just be sleeping together, nothing else. Masahiko Ha..ha... but sleeping together.... Shion There is only one bed, there is no other way. Don't worry, because we won't be doing anything. 2 Masahiko Won't be doing anything... This way... 6 Masahiko It's useless. I can't really restrain myself... 7 Masahiko .... Shion ? Page 93 1 Masahiko ....Let's go home Shion Huh? 2 Masahiko? LET'S GO HOME!! 3 Shion No, leave me, go home if you want to, but leave me alone!!! 4 Masahiko I'm not being relieved to get back, it's because of your behavior... Shion Don't find any excuses, leave me alone or else I'll scream!!! Masahiko Calm down, or what?! 5 Masahiko ? 6 Masahiko Say, that smell? Shion It smells burnt... 7 Masahiko From ... inside the house? Shion No way...!! Page 94 1 Masahiko It's a fire!! Shion Papa, mama!! 2 Masahiko Shion-san, hurry and call the fire station!! 3 Aunt Yukari Dear, what are you doing, what's this smoke!? I know, you put it on a little too high fire. 4 Masahiko & Shion ? 5 Uncle Sora? Ah, it's all burned black!! 6 Aunt Yukari Really, you must have taken your eye off for a minute. Uncle Sora I just told you. Aunt Yukari I knew I could not trust this to you!! Page 95 1 Uncle Sora I'm working real hard for Masahiko-kun's welcome party, you can't say that!! 2 Masahiko For... me... 3 Aunt Yukari The saucepan too!! Wah 4 Uncle Sora Awawaw Aunt Yukari Kyaa, are you alright!? 6 Shion What are you two dallying with? 7 Uncle Sora Ah... Shion.. Aunt Yukari Masahiko-san!! Welcome home!! Page 96 1 Shion What are these cinders!? Aunt Yukari Excuse us, we didn't have time to cook it again... Uncle Sora Masahiko-kun, everyone. This is my doing. 2 Masahiko .... 5 Aunt Yukari But the rice just escaped the damage. Page 97 2 Masahiko This warm... rice bowl!! And moreover, this white steam!! 3 Masahiko This is just like--- 4 Masahiko Just like--- 5 Uncle Sora Masahiko-kun!? Aunt Yukari What's wrong, Masahiko-san!? Page 98 2 Masahiko Just like... The feel of the warmth and the kindness of a family in this rice... 5 Masahiko While eating this rice, I ask myself... "Was Shion really going to run away from home?" [Image] [Image]
