| Girl: |
Aa
It's Kyo-kun.
I wonder if he's about to go home!?
Maybe I should try talking to him!? |
| Girl: |
But he has a girlfriend? |
| Girl: |
What!!?
By girlfriend...
What girlfriend!!
Who's his girlfriend!! |
| Girl: |
Honda-san who's in the same class as me.
|
| Girl: |
Honda-san got hurt and was in the hospital for a while
And didn't make it for the end of term. |
| Mayuko: |
Three minutes left |
| Girl: |
She's probably taking them late on her own right now.
So he's probably waiting for that to finish?
See, he just went inside. |
| Girl: |
B... but...
Just when... |
| Girl: |
After Honda-san was released from the hospital maybe.
The two were glued together a lot more than before so when some guys in class teased them |
| Boy: |
Hmm~?
Did the two of you start going out now? |
| Kyo: |
Yeah
?
What about it?
|
| Boy: |
Whoaaaa
He said it as though it was nothing major!! This kid said it as though it were nothing major, you know!?
The guy who on the first day he transferred to this school got so nervous about girls that he jumped out of a window, said it as though it were nothing!!
So much...... He's grown so much!!! |
| Kyo: |
You guys are noisy. |
| Guys: |
What's going on?
Let's celebrate...
We have to celebrate
Red bean rice...
We have to make some red bean rice
K: Don't bother |
| Girl: |
...they said. |
| Girl: |
.........
Waaaahhhh
That's such a sho~ck
It's the wo~rst
My dream's been broken now that he's become someone's~ |
| Girl: |
My condolences to you.
|
| Mayuko: |
Time's up
Good work. |
| Tohru: |
Ye......
s
Thank you... very much... |
| Mayuko: |
How was it |
|
*rustle* |
| Tohru: |
Hmm......
Yes... I tried to give it... all I had... |
| Mayuko: |
It seems like you don't have that much to give......
Well, you should enjoy your last summer break of high school. |
| Tohru: |
Aa
Yes |
| Mayuko: |
...Ah
That's right, Honda-san
|
| Mayuko: |
Did something happen recently...
At the Sohma home...? |
| Tohru: |
Eh...
Eh. AH. Wha!?
By
Something!? |
| Mayuko: |
Hm---...
...It's just
Yesterday
Seemed to be enjoying things... |
| Tohru: |
"Enjoying things"...?
Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun were? |
| Mayuko: |
EH
Y- yeah, that's right!!
The two of them were!!
W--w-well, it doesn't really matter!!
Take care going home!! |
|
*shuta* |
| Tohru: |
Ah... |
|
*garagara...*
|
| Tohru: |
...? |
|
[If you ask "Did something happen"
Many things happened
Especially the fact that Akito-san is a woman
For everyone] |
| Yuki: |
It's a complete surprise...
Isn't it... |
| Kyo: |
Although I'm more surprised that you knew about it. |
| Yuki: |
True. |
| Tohru: |
I... I'm sorry. Well
Even if I wanted, I couldn't tell you about it...
|
| Tohru: |
Was it...
A shock? |
| Yuki: |
A "shock"...
...Hm.
I wonder. In any case...
I was stunned...
.........
...I can't explain it well
Because
So much had happened...... |
| Kyo: |
...For me
For all that I didn't know, I was pretty rough against a girl...
That's... what I thought.
But
|
| Kyo: |
I feel a bit relieved... |
| Tohru: |
Eh?
By... relieved? |
| Kyo: |
...How should I put it
Having even more guys than this that like you
Would be a problem... |
| Yuki: |
*Choke* |
| Kyo: |
...OY |
| Yuki: |
I'm not laughing... |
|
*kukukukukukuku* |
| Yuki: |
Honest, I'm not laughing... |
| Tohru: |
?
? |
| Kyo: |
Yeah, you are...
I know it's an unmanly way to think |
|
[There's something I've noticed too
That the atmosphere between the two
Has become much gentler than it was before.]
|
|
[When I asked
About it] |
| Kyo: |
He beat the crap out of me. |
| Tohru: |
EH!!? |
| Kyo: |
And the biggest screw in my head ended up getting sent flying. |
| Tohru: |
EH!? |
| Kyo: |
That guy's the worst so don't ever talk to him again. |
| Tohru: |
EH!!! |
| Kyo: |
...Huh.
I'm kidding.
|
|
[Kyo-kun
Has come to smile a lot more.
That's] |
| Tohru: |
! |
|
[What I think Kyo-kun is really like] |
| Tohru: |
Kyo-kun...
Kyo...
Kyo-ku... |
|
*tetetetetete*
|
| Tohru: |
Kyo-kun... |
| Kyo: |
I see, I see...
What, are you a dog? |
| Tohru: |
Were you waiting for me...!? |
|
*grip* |
| Kyo: |
Yeah... well. |
| Tohru: |
Thank you very much... You didn't get tired of waiting for me, did you!? |
| Kyo: |
Nah-- I'm fine.
I was playing basketball until just a moment ago with some guys from class.
It's so hot, but those guys have a lot of energy. |
| Tohru: |
Ahaha |
|
[I can see that
Everyone around is caught by Kyo-kun being that way.
That's why it's a miracle.] |
| Kyo: |
Compared to the further studies crowd
The job-hunting crowd is taking things a lot easier still.
|
| Tohru: |
That's... right...
I also......
I have to... hang in there... with job activities... |
| Kyo: |
Hey
About...
You |
| Tohru: |
Yes? |
| Kyo: |
.........
Nothing.
It's all right. I'll... talk to you about it later. |
| Tohru: |
? |
| Kyo: |
Rather than that... while
job activities are fine and all
After all, summer holidays are about to begin soon so,
Lots
Lots
|
| Kyo: |
...Let's go places together |
| Tohru: |
...
...Y-
YES!!
Lots... YES!! |
| Kyo: |
All right. |
| Tohru: |
Ah
Uo-chan and Hana-chan
Were saying that they wanted to come the first time we go out somewhere... |
| Kyo: |
Ahhhhh~~~...
...Well
I guess it can't be helped. They're
Like substitute parents for you after all...
|
|
A miracle
That I'm able to be here
By Kyo-kun's side, like this.
For that miracle
To continue
Much much more
If possible always
I want to try hard for that.
Holding hands
Being able
To walk together
|
|
Because this is absolutely not "a given". |
| Shishou: |
With this
I have no regrets left.
It doesn't matter when my time comes now. |
| Tohru: |
Th...
Th-th-th-that's no good. You mustn't say...
That sort of thing... |
| Kunimitsu: |
That's right; that's no laughing matter!!
It's no joke when you say it!! |
| Shishou: |
Ahahah |
| Tohru: |
Laughing in such a refreshed manner--!!
|
| Kyo: |
Please Shishou... This isn't the end after all...
This is finally "the beginning"... |
| Kunimitsu: |
That's right, that's right. Not to mention
If the two of them get married and they have a child, that would be your grandchild...
Your grandchild, you know!? |
|
*whisper whisper* |
| Kunimitsu: |
"Grandpa~"
You know!!? |
|
G*R*A*N*D*P*A*~* |
| Shishou: |
I'll keep doing my best...
Something to look forward to, right? |
| Tohru: |
Yes
Something to look forward to |
| Kunimitsu: |
Whew. Thank goodness. |
| Kyo: |
Oy... |
| Arrow: |
Basically figured things out. |
| Kunimitsu: |
Whoops,
I've got to wipe the floor.
|
| Rin: |
.........
You're such idiots... |
| Tohru: |
Isuzu-sa...
Aa |
|
*leaves* |
| Tohru: |
Isuzu-san... |
|
*follows* |
| Kyo: |
...
What's she so upset about...? |
| Shishou: |
Anyone and everyone
Aren't all in the same position.
|
| Shishou: |
Because a number of things
had happened after all... |
| Rin: |
Why...
Is everyone able to act
Like nothing happened?
Even Kyo
Had gone through a number of
Bad things
You too...
Were hurt so much
Those wounds...
Won't disappear for the rest of your life right!?
|
| Rin: |
I...
I
If it's between forgiving and not forgiving
I won't forgive Akito.
I can't forgive...
I'm not saying she should prostate herself before us
Being apologised to would put me on the spot.
That's not what I'm saying.
It's not that...
Am I wrong?
Am I mistaken?
How is it that everyone can just accept everything?
Why...
...
Whatever I do
|
| Rin: |
...The turmoil inside
Doesn't go away... |
|
Many things
Happened
Many things
Ended
Many
hurts
Remain |
|
[Those don't suddenly, like magic] |
| Yuki: |
"I can't explain it well" |
|
[Just disappear] |
|
It could be |
|
That there are some pains that can't be revealed
Inside everyone's hearts even now. |
| Tohru: |
Isuzu-san's...
Not wrong at all.
I'm really happy
That you feel hurt even for what happened to me
in my place.
I'm really happy... |
| Rin: |
...
......
...I wonder
If Haru
Mightn't be disapponted...?
|
| Rin: |
Always saying these sorts of things
Maybe
He'll come to hate me... |
| Tohru: |
Th...
That's not possible!! |
| Rin: |
You never know... |
| Tohru: |
No, it's not like you can't tell!! It's not possible!! |
| Rin: |
How can you be so sure... You annoy me... |
| Tohru: |
I see. I'll go ask Hatsuharu-san right
Now |
|
GRAB |
| Rin: |
Never mind. Idiot. Stop!! |
| Kyo: |
They're fooling around...? |
|
[I think]
|
|
[They need time.
Lots
Lots of
Time] |
| Maid: |
It seems you went to see Ren today as well.
Although I heard that you weren't able to make much conversation.
It would be much simpler to just throw her out already.
...Well
You've only recently decided to continue to remain here
So it may have made matters more complicated...
|
| Maid: |
Young people... are lucky.
Being able to change the way they live so easily
Having both the spirit
And stamina to do so
I too......
Was born and raised here.
I don't know any other way of living
Than the Sohma way......
But I...
I've become this old
...Becoming this old and at this point
Forty years
Fifty years
Sixty years I've spent building my way of life
I can't change it at this point. In order to change
I
|
| Maid: |
...I
Have become
Too...
Old now... |
| Akito: |
Changing...
Everything
Is impossible...
Even so
Just a little is fine.
If someone
Gives a helping hand
|
| Akito: |
Like someone did
For me. |
|
[Tomorrow]
|
|
[The day after tomorrow
That everything would neatly fall into place
Is a sad lie.
For each and everyone
To be able to stand together
And smile comfortably,
Right now
That's still a distant dream.
But]
|
|
[However many years
However many tens of years it may take
I want to dissolve it away
Without giving up
Doing the best I can.] |
| Kyo: |
*sigh----...*
That there are so many girls who like Tohru might be
a bit of a problem too...
|
|
And if you will smile,
That
Is happiness. |
