Chapter 86 of I"s Volume 9 Translated by Mat Swadling I"s Chapter 86: Victory is Mine by Masakazu Katsura Presented by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine p41==== Iori: It's okay just this once, right? Iori: I don't know exactly what you said to her, but it seems she doesn't understand you turned her down... Iori: I'll leave you alone. I should go. Seto: Perhaps... Seto: No! Don't go! I think it would be better if you stayed. Iori: Huh? p42==== Seto: I don't feel like seeing Izumi-chan... If I wait for her, she may get the wrong idea. Seto: If I let her go now, I'll never get Iori-chan back... Seto: When Ituski appeared before and told me "It's too late", Seto: It must have been my subconcious warning me. Seto: My stubborn mood with Iori-chan has changed... into a better mood... Seto: If I don't wait for her... then she'll definately know I've rejected her. Seto: At this rate... Confidence or chance of success... they don't matter!... Anyway, I want to tell her now... I'll feel better if I do!! p43==== Iori: But... You don't know if she'll wait for you. Seto: Oh... W..Why, Iori-chan... Seto: Let's stop this conversation. Seto: She won't. Iori: But... he said that she was... looking forward to it on the phone. Seto: I said it's okay... Iori: You... should... turn her down. Meet her and tell her that. Seto: No... I... Seto: Why does she want me to go... p44==== Iori: I know! If she is waiting for you, you can take her out and have fun. Iori: We're finished here. Teratani-kun and Yuka's "Love Love Plan" has succeeded. Iori: You can go and do what you want. p45==== Iori: Umm.. I was thinking. You turned down your date with Izumi-chan just to help out Yuka. Iori: Because of my silly plan... Seto: Then, I'll go. p46==== Iori: Oh.. okay... p47==== Seto: I'll be right back. Seto: Wait for me, Yoshizuki. Seto: I think it's futile. She thinks I want to date Izumi-chan... I'm 99 percent sure she doesn't feel anything for me... But, I'm still struggling! Seto: If Iori-chan waits for me after this, Seto: I'll take the 1 percent chance and confess! Seto: If she doesn't... then... I'll have to give up. Seto: Either way, I'll know for certain soon... p49==== Seto: She's not... not here... Seto: Then, she didn't come after all! Seto: Good! That's one less worry!! p50==== Izumi: Victory is mine. Izumi: You're so nice, sempai. I just wanted to be sure. p51==== Izumi: Even though, I've been waiting! You're 1 hour and 10 minutes late!! Izumi: Jeez, I nearly froze to death. Seto: I didn't know if she'd come, but she was waiting all this time... Seto: She was thinking of me so bravely... Seto: Should I go back? Seto: If I go back, I'll self destruct for sure. Seto: Is this okay? If I date with Izumi-chan... I would be happy, wouldn't I? Izumi: Hee hee! p52==== Seto: I can't do it!! Seto: If I don't then what about Izumi... It wouldn't be fair on her! Seto: Umm... Izumi-chan... Seto: But, I really do love Iori-chan... Izumi: It's okay. It's okay. You don't have to say it! Izumi: I know, you were with Iori-chan, right? Izumi: You can go. My suspicions were correct. p53==== Seto: Suspicions? ...What would you have done if I hadn't come? Izumi: I'd cross that bridge if I came to it. I didn't really have a plan, so I probably would have just said, "Oh, he didn't come." Izumi: I would have left for today. But I wouldn't have given up on you. Izumi: After this, I know that I still have a chance. Izumi: Well, that's that then. Izumi: Later! p54==== Seto: That fool. Seto: There isn't a chance... Seto: There was no reason, Seto: to be waiting for me... p55==== Seto: But... Seto: If she... Seto: If she's waiting for me, that would be a Christmas Eve miracle. Seto: I'm going to tell her, without hesitation. *End of Chapter 86*
