Chapter 119 of I"s Volume 13 Translated by Mat Swadling I"s Chapter 119: A Worrying Neighbour by Masakazu Katsura Brought to you by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine p98==== Asou: Thanks so much... I must be being a real burden on you... Seto: When you're in trouble, I'll be here for you. That's what neighbours do. Seto: Well, if there's anything you need, just let me know. Asou: Oh! Asou: This time, let me reward you properly. Seto: Oh, that's okay, you don't have to. p99==== Iori: Seto: Hm? Iori: What's up? Seto: What? Yoshizuki!? Seto: No... no way!? Iori: Hello. Asou: Oh, hello. p100==== Seto: Um... this is my nieghbour... uh... Asou: I'm Asou. Asou: It seems... I'm always... having to rely on Seto-san... Asou: Well... it's nice to meet you. Seto: She says 'always', but we only really met yesterday. Iori: It's nice to meet you. Asou: Um... Asou: You don't have to worry. p101==== Iori: Huh? Asou: No creepy bugs will get through. Asou: I'll be watching out for them! Asou: Ah!! Asou: I just said something weird! Asou: Um... Well, goodbye! p102==== Seto: That was a close call... Not that there was anything to be guilty about. Seto: I just hope that Iori-chan doesn't think there's anything going on... Iori: I figured you wouldn't have eaten, so I bought us dinner. Iori: There're drinks too. Seto: Oh wow, thanks! Iori: So what's the rent here? Seto: Um... 45000 yen. Iori: Hmm... Living alone must be great... I wish I could... Seto: Oh good... She doesn't seem to be upset. Seto: But you really surprised me, showing up like that. You should have called first. p103==== Iori: I called to tell you last night. But the call was cut short... Iori: The girl's voice I heard. You said it was Nami. Iori: But it was really that girl, right? Seto: Yes. Seto: She does seem to be in a bad mood after all! I have to do something!! Seto: Um... The thing is... Seto: She had lost her keys. It was a real emergency, so... Seto: There was nothing else going on. Iori: Hmmm... Seto: This is bad! Gotta change the subject! p104==== Seto: By the way, I see you got a hair cut. Iori: "By the way"... You mean you only just noticed? Seto: I can't lose now. Seto: It's really cute. Iori: Really!? Iori: I'm so glad! Iori: I really like it too. Seto: Yes! That cheered her up!! Iori: Although you seem to prefer girls with shoulder-length hair. p105==== Seto: Alright, Yoshizuki! What are you so mad about? Is it about that phone call? Or the fact that I'm getting along with that girl!? Seto: You have to believe me! There's really nothing going on there!! Iori: If you'd explained at the time what had happened, instead of claiming it was Nami, it wouldn't look so suspicious. It's that kind of lie that leads to unfaithfulness. Seto: No way... She's really upset? Damn. If I can't... Seto: If I can't get through this in one piece, it's all over... p106==== Seto: Because it had been so long since we saw each other... Seto: I have to change the mood here! Think of a brighter subject... p107==== Iori: I'm just kidding! I'm not really upset. I was only teasing you. Iori: If course I believe you, Seto-kun. Seto: Wha... Seto: What are you thinking, Iori-chan. You scared me. Seto: But of course. We've both had feelings for each other for so long, and we've only just come to realise them. It's not something that can be broken so easily. p108==== Seto: No so easily... Seto: Oh? You're not? Iori: I'm not! Iori: But don't you think I deserve the lead, with a performance like that? Seto: What? Oh, I see... You were sure you would land the lead role... Iori: But I really like the part I did get. Iori: She's a really complex character, so I really going all out for it. Iori: I've been getting lots of praise recently for my work... And the rehearsals are really fun. Seto: Well.. that's great. Seto: So I say... p109==== Seto: But I feel awful, not speaking my heart on this... Iori: It's getting late... Seto: Wh... What? Seto: You're leaving already? Iori: Yup. Seto: No way! You can't! It's been so long since we were alone together. We should take our time. You can spend the night. Iori: Are you trying to seduce me? p110==== Seto: Kinda... Iori: Can I... use your bath? Seto: Of... Of course!! Iori: I guess I can... Seto: Yes! Seto: Alright! Now we can finally be of one mind and one body!!! Asou: Eeeeek!! p111==== Seto: What was that? Iori: Maybe she saw a cockroach? Asou: Noooo!! Seto: If it is a cockroach... Iori: I can't stand them either. If I even see one... Asou: Eeeeek!! Seto: I'll go and take a look. Iori: What? p112==== Asou: Save me!!! Seto: What's wrong?! Asou: Co.. Asou: Co.. Asou: Cockroach! Iori: Well, I'm going home now. Bye. Seto: No... wait... Asou: Eeek! Seto: Ah! Seto: ...Maybe it could be so easy.
