Chapter 85 of I"s Volume 9 Translated by Mat Swadling I"s Chapter 85: It's Too Late by Masakazu Katsura Presented by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine p23==== Iori: No matter how drunk... I wouldn't brag about it... Iori: Since it's totally one-sided. p24==== Seto: For the first time... Iori-chan has talked about her feelings... Seto: What is she thinking of? Seto: I can't confuse my fantasy with reality... Seto: I see... Iori-chan's love is unrequited... Seto: Unrequited... then there is someone she loves... Seto: This is the second time today, reality has been different... Seto: I've created this image of Iori-chan in my mind... Seto: But in my mind, no-one existed... Seto: Who could have caused Iori-chan pain... p25==== Seto: In attempting to get closer to Iori-chan and find her feelings, she has become even more distant, like another person... Seto: I really don't know anything about her. Seto: I really haven't let myself be troubled unless it suits me... Seto: What's she think of me? I'm too self-absorbed. Seto: Why can't I think of other people? Seto: I should be thinking of her!! Seto: Ah! Not now!! I can't just sit here... Seto: At this rate, I'll be back to my normal ways!! p26==== Seto: That's right... When it came to Morisaki, I wasn't thinking of myself! Seto: You have to be thinking about your partners feelings too. Seto: What matters is making clear my feelings! Seto: After this, we'll be busy with exams. Seto: I have to view this as my last chance to tell her!! Seto: ...But still, I now know that there's someone she loves. Seto: Wouldn't it be suicide to tell her now? Seto: No! Don't falter!! Go for it, keep thinking ahead!! p27==== Seto: Even if... Seto: A shadow of a man that must be him... Seto: I'm not getting that feeling from her now... Seto: For all I know, that one-sided love might be for me. Seto: Maybe I'm being too optimistic... p28==== Seto: Oh? Kensuke... Kensuke: What are you doing here? p29==== Kensuke: What about your date with Izumi!? Kensuke: Huh?! Seto: Uh oh. Seto: Wait, what do you mean? Seto: What do I mean?? p30==== Woman: What are you doing, Kensuke? Woman: Come on, let's go. Woman: People are looking at us. Kensuke: Quiet! If you don't like it, then go!! Woman: You say that, but... Seto: And what about yourself? You said you had eyes for no-one but Izumi-chan. Seto: Now you're having fun with another woman. How could she trust you? Kensuke: What was that? p31==== Kensuke: Can you back out of a date so easily? Are you any better, with this other girl? Seto: Damn... Why did this guy show up at a critical point like this... Seto: But I said, I didn't make any date with Izumi-chan!! Seto: My willingness to confess is disappearing!! Kensuke: You bastard! Izumi told me. You invited her! Seto: No... stop. Don't say any more!! Kensuke: Damn you! You're not just playing around with Izumi, are you?! Seto: You're wrong! Izumi-chan was the one who askee me!! Besides... p32==== Seto: Maybe I did say okay at the time!! Kensuke: You did, right! Seto: I guess the whole story will come out now. Seto: But, after that, I apologised and turned her down!! I told her I'd make it up to her later! Seto: There's nothing wrong with that. Iori-chan will understand!! Kensuke: Liar! She was so happy to have a date with you. Kensuke: She just told me on the phone!! Seto: Huh? Kensuke: Don't give me, "Huh?"!! Seto: Gulp p33==== Seto: What is this!? I turned you down, Izumi-chan. Why are you happy?! Seto: And this guy! Talking abvout it so loudly in front of Iori-chan! Seto: Is it my fault!? Is it all my fault!!? Seto: With all that's happened, Seto: There's no point confessing now!! Izumi: If you love her so much, then come out and tell her!! Teratani: Christmas Eve, alone with Yoshizuki, awaits you. Teratani: What do you think? Morisaki: Oh, that's right! I get it now! Seto-kun loves Iori!! Koshinae: Go ahead and confess. Kensuke: You invited her! Iori: Since it's one-sided. Seto: What is this! Everyone speaks to selfishly!! Seto: What should I do in this situation!!! p34==== Itsuki: Stop it! Itsuki: Besides, it's your own fault, right!? Itsuki: Since you won't come out and confess, you'll always be running away, right!? Seto: Itsuki? p35==== Itsuki: When anything happens, it's always, "Ahh.. Now I can't confess" and you run away. Itsuki: You really welcome trouble, don't you!? That's why you make excuses not to confess to her!! Itsuki: Then give it up! It's too late, right? You could never confess to her in this lifetime, don't you think? Itsuki: Because you always let the chance slip away!! Itsuki: Before you go blaming it on the situation, Itsuki: Why not blame your own lack of guts!? p36==== Seto: Ah! Seto: Itsuki... p37==== Iori: What's wrong with you? Iori: He said he turned her down! Kensuke: If you make Izumi cry... I'll kill you! Iori: Seto-kun, are you alright!? Seto: Damn... p38==== Seto: I'm going to confess! Seto: Yoshizuki Seto: Right here, right now!! Iori: ...I should probably go... Seto: Huh? p39==== Seto: But... I turned her down. Iori: But you did say okay to her before, right? Itsuki: It's too late now. Itsuki: You could never confess to her in this lifetime. Seto: Itsuki... *End of Chapter 85*
