Hana Yori Dango Vol.30, P.130-180
P.130
(a car parks in the middle of a residential zone)
Tsukushi: Thank you for seeing me home.
Rui: No problem, it was on my way.
Tsukushi: Wow...
Tsukushi: I've only been away for about a week, but it feels like a long time 
somehow. 
P.131
Tsukushi: Would you like to come in for tea?
Rui: Sure.
voice: Ahhh! They're back!
(Rui and Tsukushi look up to the 2nd floor balcony of her apartment building, 
where Shigeru, Sakurako, Soujirou, and Akira wave down at them)
Shigeru: Welcome home!
Tsukushi: Uwa! 
P.132
Tsukushi: W...woah. What's going on, you guys?
Shigeru: We knew you'd be coming back soon, so we all decided to hang out here.
Tsukushi: (slightly annoyed) No, I mean what are you all doing inside my 
apartment?
Shigeru: Your brother was here, so he let us in.
Shugeru: But nevermind about that. How did it go?! Tell us everything!
Tsukushi: Ah, wait. Do you mind if I change clothes first?
Akira: Huh? Rui, why are you with her?
Tsukushi: Um, could you all wait outside for a moment? I only have one room.
{shove shove shove}
Soujirou: I don't particularly care if you change in front of me. [I wouldn't 
feel anything anyway]
Tsukushi: Idiot! 
P.133
(Tsukushi shuts the door loudly)
Tsukushi: ... I'm shocked.
Tsukushi: Everyone came because they were worried about me...
(she stares at her barren apartment)
Tsukushi: I've come back,
Tsukushi: to my former place of having nothing. 
P.134
Tsukushi: I have to hang in there.
Shigeru: So? How's Tsukasa doing? Was he tied up in chains like I thought?!
Sakurako: Why didn't he come back with you?! When is Doumyouji-san coming back??
Sakurako: What's his New York house like? It must've been amazing, huh?!
Shigeru: Did you confront his mother head on?!
Shigeru: Did you punch her?! [or give her the elbow?!]
Tsukushi: W-wait a minute, er, I--
Sakurako & Shigeru: What? What? What??
Tsukushi: In the end,
Tsukushi: it looks like he's not coming back. 
P.135
Tsukushi: He said he's going to live over there from now on.
Sakurako: ... You mean a long distance relationship? Between New York and Tokyo?
Tsukushi: No, that's not it.
Akira: You're breaking up? 
P.136
Tsukushi: Uhuh.
Sakurako: Why?
Shigeru: You love eachother, right?
Shigeru: Then why do you have to break up? 
P.137
Tsukushi: Why... I wonder why?
Sakurako: Why was Hanazawa-san with you?
Sakurako: Did he have something to do with this?
Sakurako: Don't tell me you and Hanazawa-san--
Akira: Stop it, Sakurako. Makino has had a lot to think about.
Rui: I wasn't called over there or anything.
Rui: I just went to get her on my own. 
P.138
Rui: I went to see her because I was worried.
Rui: Then we came back together. That's all.
Tsukushi: Yes, the ones who decided
Tsukushi: were Doumyouji and myself.
Tsukushi: As you can see,
Tsukushi: I don't have anything.
Tsukushi: And I like living under this low roof. 
P.139
Tsukushi: When it comes to things like companies and heirs, it doesn't make much 
sense to me.
Tsukushi: Doumyouji's mother is feverishly trying to protect her own household.
Tsukushi: I've also been doing my best to protect this small space.
Tsukushi: That's how I've lived for 17 years. 
P.140
Tsukushi: But when Doumyouji and I are together, it seems like all that is going 
to break apart.
Tsukushi: That's why we're breaking up.
Tsukushi: I see.
Tsukushi: It's such a simple reason.
Tsukushi: The reason I pretended not to realize that I loved him for so long, 
P.141
Tsukushi: was most likely because I was afraid of reaching this conclusion.
Shigeru: I don't really understand what you're saying.
Shigeru: Why is it bad for things to break? Isn't that what love is? 
P.142
Soujirou: The reason you don't understand, Shigeru, is because you're a person 
from our side.
Soujirou: Makino has a lot more to deal with than we do.
Sakurako: I feel so sorry for both of you.
Soujirou: Because you love the person, you're afraid of breaking things.
Soujirou: I think that's the highest consideration.
Shigeru: ........ Nisshii,
Shigeru: you sound almost like you're speaking from experience. 
P.143
Soujirou: Get real.
Soujirou: I'm aiming to be the most irresponsible guy in Japan.
Tsukushi: I'm going to seal them away.
Tsukushi: I'll pack all the happy memories away,
Tsukushi: like a treasure chest.
(Rui is the last to leave)
Rui: Well, seeya. Take it easy.
Tsukushi: Yeah, you too.
Tsukushi: Have a good rest.
(Rui's footsteps ring out as he walks down the wooden stairs) 
P.144
Tsukushi: Hanazawa Rui!
Tsukushi: I have to tell you.
Tsukushi: I love Doumyouji!
Rui: I know that.
Rui: Why are you bringing that up all of the sudden?
Rui: It doesn't really matter to me whether you and I date or don't date.
Rui: I guess that's a little odd though. 
P.145
(Tsukushi grins after a moment)
Tsukushi: It sure is.
Rui: Ah.
Rui: That.
Rui: As long as I get to see that smile, that's good enough for me.
(Gag! Hehe, just kidding.)
Tsukushi: The light brown eyes that haven't changed since we first met. 
P.146
Tsukushi: I wonder if I can go back to that time?
Tsukushi: But nevermind about that! Right now I have to earn money!!
(dango shop)
boss: Makino-san........ even if you yell like that, I can't raise your wages.
Tsukushi: Ahh, it's time!
Tsukushi: I'll be going now! My next job is waiting!
Tsukushi: (dashing away) See you, Yuuki!
Yuuki: Ah, Tsukushi, in front of you--
{crash} 
P.147
boss: ........ The shop gets so much livelier when Makino-san is around.
Tsukushi: (trying to put the display upright) [yeee! I have to goo!]
Yuuki: Yes...
Tsukushi: My entire assets amount to 50,000 yen right now.
Tsukushi: Good morning!
waiter: Ohh, it's been a while.
waitress: What happened? You were away for so many days, we thought you had 
quit.
Tsukushi: No way.
Tsukushi: I'm going to work really hard starting today! 
P.148
Tsukushi: The messed up gears inside of me are starting to return to normal.
(Tsukushi rests her head on her school desk)
Asai: What nerve. Even though Doumyouji-san is gone, she sleeps with such a 
serene face.
Asai: This is why I don't like people who have been raised badly. 
P.149
girl: I've seen her hanging around Hanazawa-san a lot lately. It really bugs me.
girl: I guess she thinks any guy will do?
(later)
Akira: Oh.
Akira: Makino, we're all getting together today. You wanna come?
Tsukushi: Ah, I have work.
Tsukushi: Invite me again later.
Akira: (to Soujirou) There's the working-class virgin for you.
(Tsukushi runs down the hallway) 
P.150
(image of Rui's face)
Tsukushi: I've been asking myself ever since I came back from New York,
Tsukushi: if it had come a little earlier, would I have not fallen in love with 
Doumyouji?
Tsukushi: The answer is
Tsukushi: "no". 
P.151
(Tsukushi stands in the middle of a crowded sidewalk)
Tsukushi: No matter how much I'm buried in waves of people,
Tsukushi: I will always be able to find him. 
P.152
(Doumyouji sits on a fence, looking at her) 
P.153
Tsukushi: As though a magnet is drawing me in. 
P.154
(they gaze at eachother)
Tsukushi: I can't hear any of the sounds around me. 
P.155
(a guy in a hooded sweatshirt bumps into Tsukushi as he walks by)
guy: [hn] Watch where you're standing, you ugly cow. 
P.156
(Doumyouji turns to the guy with a smile)
Doumyouji: Hey.
Doumyouji: What did you just say?
(he kicks the guy in the ass)
guy: Gya!!!
Tsukushi: C...cut it out! Why do you always have to do stuff like that?!
(urusee, busu)
Tsukushi: (to the guy) You better get out of here fast! 
P.157
Tsukushi: It's not like you've never called me names before!
Doumyouji: Only I get to say things like that to you.
Tsukushi: I see that part of you hasn't changed much.
Doumyouji: Tsk, why would it? People don't change that quickly.
Tsukushi: It's
Tsukushi: the same old Doumyouji. 
P.158
Doumyouji: How are you?
Tsukushi: G...good!
Tsukushi: As you can see, I'm doing just fine!!
Doumyouji: Working part-time as usual? 
P.159
Doumyouji: This is the way you take from school to work, right? I've been 
hanging around here since I arrived this afternoon.
Doumyouji: I want you to devote the rest of this day all to me. 
P.160
Tsukushi: Just a moment. I'll call them at work.
(she pulls out her cell phone)
Tsukushi: No, I won't cry.
Tsukushi: (into the phone) Hello? This is Makino.
Tsukushi: (phone) I'm sorry, but I can't come in today.
Tsukushi: Absolutely not. 
P.161
(she gives Doumyouji a thumbs up and a smile)
Tsukushi: Ok! Where shall we go?!
Tsukushi: I'm not going to cry.
Doumyouji: Doesn't matter. Ah, but no pet shops please.
Tsukushi: Okay, then let's go to a pet shop and play with some dogs!!
Doumyouji: You...
Tsukushi: I'm kidding.
Tsukushi: I'm kinda hungry, so let's eat something. 
P.162
Doumyouji: Stew then?
Tsukushi: ......... You remembered.
Tsukushi: Alright, time for grocery shopping!
Tsukushi: All the markets in this area are way expensive, so let's go 
elsewhere!!
Tsukushi: Ah, today's Wednesday! The market in my neighborhood is having a 
special sale. Lucky!
Doumyouji: [heh] 
P.163
Tsukushi: Wh-what??
Doumyouji: Nah, I was just thinking that you haven't changed much.
Tsukushi: Well, of course. Like you said, why would I?
Doumyouji: Right.
(he turns away)
Doumyouji: Ahh.
Doumyouji: I'm starved. The airline food was crap. 
P.164
(they walk by the Hanaemori building)
Tsukushi: Oh, do you remember this place?
Doumyouji: How could I forget?
Doumyouji: You left me waiting in the snow here for 4 hours.
Tsukushi: You don't know how to ask someone out properly.
Tsukushi: You just suddenly came into the classroom and said "Hanaemori 
building, 1pm".
Doumyouji: Anyone with half a brain would've understood.
Doumyouji: I'm feeling irritated just remembering.
Tsukushi: It's ironic.
Tsukushi: This is the only way we can walk naturally together. 
P.165
Tsukushi: Say, why did it turn out this way?
Tsukushi: Tell me, will our current feelings fade away someday?
Tsukushi: But these aren't questions we can ask eachother. 
P.166
Tsukushi: Because today we're going to spend one wonderful day together.
(Tsukushi cooks the mixed pot in her apartment)
Doumyouji: Geh, I've never had stew like this before.
Tsukushi: What do you mean "geh"?
Tsukushi: You can't call yourself Japanese if you haven't eaten this kind of 
dish.
Tsukushi: Now now, time for a taste!!
(she holds a bowl out to him)
Tsukushi: It's no ordinary soup. I used chicken stock!! 
P.167
Doumyouji: (looking somewhat surprised) It's good.
Tsukushi: Alright!
Tsukushi: I think it's the first time I've ever heard you say that.
Doumyouji: Really?
Tsukushi: Really! It's like you don't understand how much work goes into 
preparing food.
Tsukushi: Or maybe your tongue has just been spoiled.
Doumyouji: Well sorry.
Tsukushi: H...hey, you don't have to apologize. 
P.168
Tsukushi: It's not like you...
Doumyouji: It's not that. I can't call something bad good.
Doumyouji: I was apologizing for not protecting you when I should've. 
P.169
Doumyouji: Sorry.
Tsukushi: (hiding her face) It's ok. Don't say it.
Tsukushi: Please don't.
Tsukushi: The tears-- 
P.170
Tsukushi: are trying to spill out.
Doumyouji: Tomorrow,
Doumyouji: I'm going back to New York.
(he changes topics quickly)
Doumyouji: Time to stomach some poor-people food. Here goes. 
P.171
Tsukushi: Don't leave anything behind! I spent so much on groceries.
Doumyouji: That's why I told you you were buying too much.
Doumyouji: I can't eat this much food. I'm not a bear.
(they smile and laugh)
Tsukushi: No more-- 
P.172
Tsukushi: We won't be saying "see you tomorrow" any more.
Tsukushi: Because starting tomorrow
Tsukushi: we'll be apar...
(the door handle rattles) 
P.173
(three men in suits come in) 
P.174
Tsukushi: Who are these people?
Doumyouji: Are you the old bag's underlings?
Doumyouji: I'm going back tomorr...
(one of the men zaps him with a tazer) 
P.175
(Tsukushi watches aghast as he collapses to the floor) 
P.176
voice: Doumyouji...!
(darkness)
Tsukushi: ...myouji.
{slap slap}
Tsukushi: Hey, wake up!
{SLAP}
Tsukushi: Hey c'mon, Doumyouji! 
P.177
Doumyouji: ... Ow.
Tsukushi: ........ I guess slaps on the cheek won't do the trick.
Tsukushi: [ooh, I found something good]
(Doumyouji opens his eyes, to see Tsukushi standing over him holding a vase)
Tsukushi: Oh. You're awake?
(Doumyouji's eyes bug out)
Doumyouji: You... were gonna use that vase to........
Tsukushi: I'm glad you woke up. [phew]
Doumyouji: I'm the one who's glad!
Doumyouji: ......... What is this place?
Doumyouji: Where are we? 
P.178
Tsukushi: ......... Where do you think we are?
Doumyouji: ......... I've never seen this place before.
Doumyouji: What the?
Doumyouji: Huh?
Tsukushi: It was supposed to be our sad parting.
Tsukushi: That's right.
Tsukushi: We're moving. 
P.179
Tsukushi: Why are we once again
Doumyouji: ... A ship?
Tsukushi: on top of the ocean? 
P.180
