Chapter 118 of I"s Volume 13 Translated by Mat Swadling I"s Chapter 118: A Spare Key by Masakazu Katsura Brought to you by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine p80==== Seto: Damn... my left cheek still aches... Seto: Phew... Seto: I really screwed it up with my new neighbour... p81==== Seto: Is this what I have to look forward to... living alone... Seto: Anyway, I'll need to get a fridge, and a rice cooker. Seto: I can set them up over there... Then I can make my own meals... p82==== Seto: There's still lots of things I need to get... I'd better find a job before my savings run out... TV: ...the genius stage director, Kaminogi Isai. Seto: Hm? TV: Yesterday, he held a press conference to answer questions, Seto: Hey... Isn't that... TV: Regarding his new production, "Kiruto". Sign: Kaminogi Isai: Kiruto TV: Amongst those present, an actress, TV: Currently taking a break from her commercial work... p83==== TV: Yoshizuki Iori-chan! Iori: I'm Yoshizuki Iori. I'll be playing "Kasumi". Seto: Ah! Seto: Her hair... It's short... p84==== Seto: It's so cute! Short hair suits her too! Yup!! Seto: But you should have told me. It came as such a shock!! Seto: Although I cut my hair without telling her. Seto: Ah... Seto: I must me lonely, talking to the TV. p85==== Seto: She's wearing makeup... She definately looks beautiful... Seto: Like a totally different person... Seto: An actress. Seto: That's what she looks like... Seto: She seems to have drifted even further from me... Seto: I haven't been able to see her... We're forbidden from even dating... Seto: It feels like... at this rate... we'll never see each other again... p86==== Seto: I can't do this... It's like Nami said, Seto: If I can't accept her as she is... we can't go on... Seto: Ah! Seto: That's right. I wanted to see what this Isai guy looks like!! fx: p87==== Seto: Coming! Seto: What? You here to hit me again? Asou: Oh! p88==== Asou: No... I... Asou: I'm sorry about last night... Asou: When I suddenly slapped you like that... Seto: Oh... maybe I can patch things up with her? Seto: Maybe this girl's alright. Asou: Actually, I already knew about that hole... I never really thought of covering it up... p89==== Seto: I covered it from my side, so you don't need to worry. Asou: I guess anyone who found a hole like that would look through it. Seto: I guess so... Asou: Well... That's all I wanted to say. Asou: I really am sorry. p90==== Seto: Hey, wouldn't it be a good idea to get a spare key? Seto: So nothing like last night happens again. Asou: I guess so. I thought of that too. Asou: Do you know any stores here that could make one up? Seto: There's one by the station. You know the way there, right? Seto: Bye. Asou: Th..thanks. p91==== Seto: Well... Now I've done it... I wanted to get along with her better, yet I acted like that... Seto: Looks like "Mr. Backwards", who can't make any friends, has reawoken... Seto: Or maybe... Seto: No, forget it. After what I did, it can't be helped. Seto: But will she be okay? Can she find the locksmith?... Seto: This area can be a bit confusing, and she said she still gets lost here. Seto: Maybe I'll make a map for her... p92==== fx: Seto: Um... I wanted to get a spare key too... Want to go together? Asou: Today, I've really learned a lot. p93==== Asou: How do you know this area so well? I've been living here a month, and you already know it better than me... Seto: I did my homework before coming here. Seto: There are lots of stores around the station, so it's a pretty convenient town. Seto: Don't you remember where these things are? Asou: I'm... not so confident about it. Seto: Oh well. If there's anything you need to know, just ask me. Asou: Then, I'll rely on you! Asou: Now... where should I put it... Seto: What are you doing? Asou: I'm hiding my spare key. Asou: Everyone always hides them near their doors. If I put it here, no one will know which door it's for. p94==== Asou: Hmm... Asou: Asou: Perfect! Seto: Um... is one enough? p95==== Asou: Whyu do you ask? Seto: I... saw you put it there. Asou: It's a secret. Seto: Huh? Seto: What I mean is... I might break in. Asou: What? Seto-san, you'd do that? Seto: No... that's not it... Seto: Oh well... Seto: Anyway, living alone doesn't seem so bad now. Iori: Hm...
