Hana Yori Dango Vol.25, P.54-103 P.54 Tsukushi: I'm sad that it makes so much sense... ~Amon: You belong on this side. voice: You're sad aren't you? Tsukushi: Yeah... (a drunk-looking middle-aged man stands near her) man: I'm sad too. Tsukushi: (running away) Hyee! man: Wait up! Uncle just wants to bond with you! P.55 Tsukushi: Wh...... Tsukushi: What was with that old guy! Tsukushi: {haa haa haa} (she looks around) Tsukushi: Now where the hell am I? (a woman passes by her) Tsukushi: ........ P.56 Tsukushi: Tsubaki-san. (Tsubaki is surprised to hear her name called. She turns around.) Tsukushi: I was right... It's nice to see you again. Tsubaki: ... Tsukushi-chan? Tsukushi: Uhuh! Tsukushi: I was just thinking it was strange to see such a pretty lady in a place like this, Tsukushi: and then it turned out to be you... P.57 (Tsubaki grabs Tsukushi in a bear hug) Tsukushi: Aghhh... Tsubaki: Are you really Tsukushi-chan?! Tsukushi: I r-really am. Tsubaki: Let me get a better look at your you! (Tsubaki squishes Tsukushi's face in her hands) Tsubaki: Have you gotten thinner?! You should feed yourself better!! Tsukushi: I-yai-yai-I have been feeding myself. Tsubaki: Really?! P.58 Tsubaki: You're free right now, aren't you?! Tsukushi: Well, actually I was about to go home to prepare dinner... Tsubak: [WHAT?] You haven't had dinner yet?! Tsubaki: I was right! You aren't eating properly! (Tsubaki grabs Tsukushi's arm and pulls her down the street) Tsukushi: That's not really true, I was just about to... Tsubaki: There's a really good Italian place nearby! Tsukushi: Uh, actually-- Tsubaki: There's no need to be shy! Come on, we're going! (Tsubaki charges forward, dragging Tsukushi behind her) Tsukushi: I had forgotten about one of Tsubaki-san's idiosyncrasies. Tsukushi: She never listens to people!! P.59 (in a clothing store) Tsukushi: ........ Um, Tsubaki-san, this outfit really isn't me... (Tsukushi struggles to keep the oversized dress she has on from slipping off her shoulders) Tsubaki: (to the store employees) This is no good! You got the wrong size! employee: F-forgive me! Tsukushi: Er... I don't think that's the problem exactly... Tsukushi: Is it really necessary for me to do this? I feel naked in this thing... Tsubaki: Import clothing does tend to be larger. Tsukushi: She isn't listening... Tsubaki: You know Tsukushi-chan, I bought a souvenier for you while I was in LA, but I never got a chance to give it to you. Tsubaki: You left the house while I was gone, didn't you? P.60 Tsubaki: It was lucky that I decided to leave the car to go shopping then. Tsukushi: Ah. Tsukushi: That's right, I haven't seen her since I stopped living at the Doumyouji home. (Tsukushi comes out of the dressing room in another dress and everyone applauds) {clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap} Tsubaki: Well now, this is cute! [you look just like Audrey Hepburn] Tsukushi: Uh... um... [eh?] (on the street) Tsubaki: I rode on a train a little while ago. Tsubaki: Do you ride on the trains a lot, Tsukushi-chan?! Tsukushi: Yes, almost every day. Tsubaki: It's so amazing. Tsubaki: The turnstiles are becoming just like automatic doors. I was so surprised! Tsukushi: I must have... worried her. P.61 ~Tsubaki: I want her to understand what's good about you. ~Tsubaki: I like you a lot. ~Tsubaki: I want my mother to understand why. Tsukushi: Even though I... ran away from that house. P.62 (Doumyouji starts to pull Shigeru off of himself) P.63 (but she jumps back suddenly) Shigeru: Hey. Shigeru: That was just a joke! Were you surprised?! Shigeru: You were looking so gloomy, so I thought I'd surprise you a bit! P.64 Shigeru: As your former fiance, I felt like it was my duty to cheer you up! Shigeru: Ah... nuts. I spilled the coffee. What a waste. Shigeru: Now we just have to throw it away. Doumyouji: Shigeru. Doumyouji: I-- (she cuts him off) Shigeru: Well then, I'm going to grab a taxi and call it a night! P.65 Shigeru: You should go home too, and get some sleep! Shigeru: If you keep scrunching up your forehead like that you'll get permanent wrinkles! (she runs off) P.66 (after sprinting until she's out of breath, Shigeru stops and pictures Tsukushi's smiling face) Shigeru: Tsukushi... Shigeru: I'm sorry. (Shigeru falls to the ground) Shigeru: That was really awful of me! P.67 Shigeru: But (she buries her head on her knees) Shigeru: I just couldn't stand to see Tsukasa that way...! (Doumyouji is still brooding in the same place Shigeru left him) P.68 (in the Italian restaurant) Tsubaki: Didn't I tell you this place is delicious?! Tsubaki: Come on, eat eat! Tsukushi: Yes, it looks very good. Tsukushi: But Tsubaki-san, Tsukushi: there's no way I can eat this much. (about 7 or 8 dishes are spread out on table between them) Tsubaki: What are you saying?? When I was your age I could eat way more than this! Tsukushi: You have a frightening metabolism. Tsukushi: But it is fun to eat so many things I've never tried before!! (she starts chowing down) Tsukushi: I have to turn to the east and laugh as I eat! Tsukushi: [hahaha] (??? uh...) P.69 Tsubaki: Tsukushi-chan. Tsubaki: I'm sorry. It appears that... my mother was trying to use Kiyonaga against you in some way. Tsukushi: N...no!! There's no reason for you to apologize! Tsukushi: Besides, it's ok already. Tsubaki: But...... Is that fake Kiyonaga a good guy? He has the same face as Tsukasa, right? It's so creepy. Tsukushi: Ahaha, come to think of it, he looks a lot like you too! Tsubaki: Hey! Don't compare me with him. P.70 Tsukushi: At first... I thought he was a creep too. But now I think he's a pretty good guy. Tsukushi: Maybe it's because he's older? He just seems to understand me really well. Tsukushi: It makes everything feel so easy. Tsukushi: It's a strange thing to be with another person so much... Tsukushi: You stumble around with eachother a lot at first... Tsukushi: But after a while it just starts to feel like second-nature. P.71 Tsubaki: That sort of love does exist. Tsubaki: I also... chose an easygoing person who wouldn't hurt me. Tsubaki: So, are you going to date this guy? P.72 (Tsukushi bows) Tsukushi: I'm so sorry, Tsubaki-san! Tsukushi: I just couldn't do it! Tsukushi: Your world is too different from mine. Tsukushi: So I'm going to stick my tail between my legs and go home, so to speak. Tsubaki: What are you saying Tsukushi-chan...? Tsubaki: All I really want P.73 Tsubaki: is for you to be happy. (Tsukushi's eyes well up with tears) (on the street, after dinner) Tsubaki: You really don't need me to take you home? Tsukushi: I'll be fine. I can get there right away by train. Tsukushi: Thank you very much for dinner!! (she holds up a shopping bag) Tsukushi: And thank you for these clothes... Maybe I can wear them when I become an adult. Tsukushi: I'm really glad I got to see you again! P.74 Tsubaki: ... I enjoyed it a lot too. Tsubaki: Thank you. Tsukushi: ... Take care. Tsukushi: I probably won't see her again, Tsukushi: this beautiful, kind, strong person. Tsubaki: You take care of yourself too............ Tsukushi-chan. P.75 (Tsukushi watches as Tsubaki gets into her car) driver: Shall I head home, maam? Tsubaki: Yes. driver: Um... maam. Tsubaki: I said go home, didn't I? driver: It's not that. Er... behind us. Tsubaki: Eh? (Tsubaki spins around and looks out the back of the car) Tsubaki: ........ Wait, stop the car! P.76 (Tsubaki rolls down the window) Tsubaki: Tsukushi-chan?! (Tsukushi is out of breath from chasing the car) Tsukushi: [haa haa] Tsukushi: Tsubaki-san. Tsukushi: I wanted you to know the truth at least. P.77 Tsukushi: I really did love Tsukasa! Tsukushi: But, Tsukushi: I'm tired of saying goodbye over and over again. P.78 Tsukushi: So, I feel like I really have to end it this time. (Tsubaki starts to cry) P.79 (Amon picks up the phone in his apartment) Amon: Yeah. Amon: Hello? Tsukushi: ...... Amon: Helloo? Tsukushi: ........ It's me. Tsukushi: I've decided to stay on this side of the bridge. Amon: Hnn... You don't have to speak in code, you know. The line isn't bugged. Amon: Alright, I got it. P.80 (at Yuuki's house) Yuuki: You can't be serious!! Yuuki: You're actually going to date that guy?! Tsukushi: Uhuh, but not in the man and woman sort of way. Yuuki: What other kind of dating is there?! Tsukushi: Yuuki... you sound just like Nishikado. P.81 Tsukushi: Oh yeah, you only met him that one time, so it's not surprising that you think of him in a negative way. Tsukushi: A lot has happened since then, and I've come to think that he's a pretty decent guy. Yuuki: A good guy......? Yuuki: He pretended to be Doumyouji-san's cousin and deceived you Tsukushi. Yuuki: That doesn't bother you at all?! Tsukushi: But it's so simple. Tsukushi: Both our lifestyles and our worlds are the same. Yuuki: ............ I can't believe you're saying these things... Yuuki: What about Doumyouji-san? P.82 Tsukushi: [ha!] What are you talking about?? I've never really cared about him. Yuuki: Are you serious? Tsukushi: Of course I am, stop it already. Those two months were more than enough for me. Tsukushi: I'm sorry Yuuki. Tsukushi: I can't tell you the truth. Tsukushi: If I did, you'd only blame yourself. Tsukushi: Let's talk about something else! Tsukushi: Speaking of which, I'm thinking of starting to work at the dango shop again! Tsukushi: This is something I can't tell my best friend... P.83 Tsukushi: It's best this way. (at school) Kazuya: Tsukushi-chan! Good morning! Tsukushi: Good morning, Kazuya-kun! Kazuya: Say, do you want to go eat "anmitsu" with me today? (dunno what "anmitsu" is...) Tsukushi: Ah, sorry I can't. I have work this afternoon. Kazuya: Work? Tsukushi: Uhuh, I'm part-timing at the dango shop again. P.84 Tsukushi: My feelings will change. Kazuya: I see... That's too bad... [you never hang out with me anymore...] Tsukushi: I'm really sorry. Why don't we do it tomorrow? Tsukushi: (grinning) Still, you can be so much like a girl sometimes, Kazuya-kun! (Kazuya has a seizure in the background) Tsukushi: I have to believe in those words. (Akira and Soujirou are slouching on the floor in a different hallway) Soujirou: What's up? Akira: It's been a while since we've seen you, Tsukasa. P.85 Doumyouji: Hey. Doumyouji: Crap, my head hurts... I slept too much. Soujirou: Don't turn into Rui. Akira: Anyway, where did you go after you left the cafe? Soujirou: Yeah, Shigeru disappeared right after you. Were you two together? Doumyouji: ........ No. Doumyouji: I don't know where she went. (I couldn't make much sense of these next two lines, so the translations I came up with are pretty sucky...) Soujirou: Maybe she disappeared just for attention. Akira: Oh well, we couldn't ask for her cooperation. (see, gomen..) P.86 (a school bag hits Doumyouji in the back) Doumyouji: That hurt! (he whips his head around to see who did it) Tsukushi: Good morning! Kazuya: Morning! P.87 Tsukushi: (to Akira and Soujirou) Why don't you guys try attending class for once, instead of just lying around in the hallways like this?! Kazuya: Yeah, yeah! [you should listen to Tsukushi-chan!] Akira: Why bother. We already have futures set up for us anyway. Soujirou: Besides, there are a lot more important things in the world than studying. [heheh] Tsukushi: Geez, you're being sketchy again. Kazuya: [huh? sketchy?] Soujirou: Dummy, the world is made up of men and women. Soujirou: In the secret flower garden of life there are "oshibe" and meshibe". (couldn't find these words in the dictionary, I'm wondering if they're biological terms for parts of flowers...) (Tsukushi covers Kazuya's ears) Tsukushi: Those of us without promised futures have to go study! Seeya! (Tsukushi pulls Kazuya away) Kazuya: [what're "oshibe" and "meshibe"?] Tsukushi: [nevermind, Kazuya-kun] P.88 (Tsukushi's face becomes stern) Kazuya: Tsukushi-chan, the classroom is that way. (Tsukushi keeps walking in the wrong direction) Tsukushi: ........... I have to be able to do this normally. Kazuya: Huh? Do what, Tsukushi-chan? Where are you going? Soujirou: She seems oddly cheerful today. Akira: Really. I wonder why? Soujirou: Maybe it's because of that fake Kiyonaga guy. Akira: What're you going to do, Tsukasa? P.89 Doumyouji: There's nothing to do about it. Soujirou: Oh? Are you finally giving up? That's probably a good idea-- (Doumyouji's eyes narrow) P.90 (he punches the wall, leaving a big crack in it) Doumyouji: If she loves me even just a little bit, Doumyouji: I'll do whatever I have to. Even beat up the old bag. P.91 Doumyouji: What else can I do? (Doumyouji retracts his fist from the wall and walks away) Akira: ...... Hey. (he gestures to the crack in the wall) Akira: Do you think he broke his hand? P.92 Soujirou: Beat up the old bag, huh...? Soujirou: Now that's something I'd like to see. Akira: Me too. (elsewhere, Tsukushi is yelling as usual) Tsukushi: Geez, what is this?? Tsukushi: What did you suddenly call me over here for?! P.93 (Amon lies in bed lazily) Amon: I caught a cold. Make me dinner. Tsukushi: I'm not your housewife! (Tsukushi opens one of the windows) Tsukushi: It's so stuffy in here! You should open the place up once in a while! Amon: Shut up. Your yelling is ringing in my ears. Amon: Remember, I looked after you that time you fainted by the river. Amon: I must've contracted your illness. Amon: Ahhh, my head hurts. P.94 Amon: I guess this is the repayment I get for my good deed... Tsukushi : Ok, ok! Just shut up already!! (she lays a simple dinner out in front of him) Amon: Wow, looks good. Tsukushi: There isn't anything but convenience stores open at this hour, so I couldn't make much. Amon: What is this, "kinpira"? You're able to cook this? Tsukushi: Why not? I've been doing housework since I was in grade school. Amon: I haven't had homecooking in a long time. P.95 Tsukushi: Why? Doesn't your mother cook for you? Amon: I don't have one. Amon: Here goes. (he starts eating) Tsukushi: You don't have a mother? Amon: Yeah. Amon: She ran off with a man when I was in high school. Tsukushi: Then... what about your father? Amon: Father? Who knows where he is. Amon: My parents divorced when I was a little kid. I guess he probably remarried. P.96 Tsukushi: So, you've been alone all this time...? Amon: Don't look at me with those compassionate eyes. Amon: It's not that unusual these days. Amon: If my mother hadn't left, I wouldn't be able to live here alone. Amon: I guess I resemble Kiyonaga in more ways than one. Amon: That might be another reason why they chose me. Amon: You really are good at cooking. Tsukushi: Is that why P.97 Tsukushi: you don't believe in romantic love..........? Amon: Hmm. Amon: That could be part of it. (Amon claps his hands together) Amon: Thanks for the food. Tsukushi: Ah... yeah. Tsukushi: I'll clean up the dishes. Amon: Thanks. P.98 Tsukushi: I didn't know... Tsukushi: the first time I met him, why there was so much darkness in his eyes... Tsukushi: So that's the reason. (Tsukushi walks back to Amon's room after washing the dishes) Tsukushi: Hey, I'm going to go home now. (Amon is taking off his shirt) Amon: Ok. P.99 Tsukushi: Ah, sorry. (she walks away quickly in embarrassment) Tsukushi: Er, take care and all. (Amon comes out of his room) Amon: Wait a minute. (Tsukushi doesn't turn around) Tsukushi: Eh? Amon: Have you ever been kissed before? P.100 Tsukushi: (turning around) Huh? Amon: Have you or haven't you? Tsukushi: Ah... well yeah, I've done that much. Amon: Good, then it should be okay. Tsukushi: Wh...what do you mean "okay"? (he picks her up) P.101 Tsukushi: Hey, stop! Tsukushi: Let go! Put me down! (he throws her onto his bed) P.102 (Amon leans over her) Amon: Quit struggling. Tsukushi: D...don't you have a cold...? Amon: I got better. P.103 (he moves in to kiss her) Tsukushi: Doumyouji......!!
