Chapter 121 of I"s Volume 13 Translated by Mat Swadling I"s Chapter 121: Because the one you love is your lover by Masakazu Katsura Brought to you by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine p132==== Seto: Well... anyway. That's about the whole story. Seto: It really wasn't your fault, so don't worry about it. Asou: Okay... Seto: Hot! Hot! Hot! Asou: It might be more convenient to buy a pot as well. p133==== Seto: I don't even know her first name. Seto: Sorry it's just tea. Seto: And here I am, laying all my problems on her. Asou: Oh, that's alright. Seto: What am I thinking... pathetic... Seto: I've still got a lot to learn... Asou: I guess I... I was worrying for nothing. Asou: They say that even a dog won't eat a marital spat. Seto: ?... Huh. I think that's not quite the right saying... Seto: But, it is better to get along, than to be fighting. p134==== Seto: I mean... it's not like we're really fighting... Asou: Either way, I'm jealous. Asou: Even if you're fighting, you can see her face. Asou: A long-distance relationship sure is lonely. p135==== Seto: So... she has a boyfriend... Seto: I sure don't get that impression from her... Seto: A long-distance relationship... Seto: I guess that is lonely. Seto: At least I can occasionally meet with Iori-chan... but even that makes me lonely. Seto: But even so, why... p136==== Seto: Why is she so cheerful... Seto: She sure doesn't look like a lonely girl in a long-distance relationship. Seto: And her cheerfulness doesn't seem at all forced. Seto: But, it seems funny to me. Asou: Huh? What does? Seto: You said that being in a long-distance relationship is lonely, but you don't look at all lonely. p137==== Asou: Oh? Well... I was able to see the guy I love. Asou: It's lonely, but I'm happy. Asou: Don't you agree with that? Seto: Huh? p138==== Asou: But, I guess that's not really normal. Asou: Because we were really never a couple. We never actually went on any dates. Seto: Oh? Really? Why? Seto: That sounds like Iori-chan and me... Asou: Well, you see, I only told him how I felt just before I moved to Tokyo. Asou: He was really busy, so he couldn't come here with me... Seto: Hmm... p139==== Asou: Aaaah!! Asou: Quick! What time is it!? Seto: Um... Seto: It's almost eight. Asou: What?! Asou: Seto-san! Your date was at seven, right!? You're really going to be late!! Asou: You've got to get going!! Seto: Huh? Seto: She said that she wouldn't be coming. There is no date. Asou: But you said that you'd be waiting for her, so I'm sure she'll be there!! p140==== Seto: Then, I guess I'll give her a call. Asou: Oh, no you don't have to! Seto: But, I'll just get her machine. Seto: She should be meeting with Isai now. Iori: ...Hello? Seto: Ah... hi... It's me. Iori: Oh... yes... Seto: Um... listen... Where are you now? Iori: Huh?... Seto: I should at least ask. fx: Seto: Th...that bell ringing... she couldn't be... fx: Seto: Yoshizuki... Don't tell me you're... p141==== Seto: Wait right there! I'll be right there!! Asou: I told you so. Make sure you apologise properly to her. Seto: Okay. Seto: Then, I'm outta here! Asou: Het, wait! You want me to look after the place? Seto: Oh, right! Seto: Because I was acting so childish... Because Iori-chan turned down the date... Seto: Because I'm the sort of guy who thinks of no one but himself... Seto: "Just being able to see the guy I love, that made me happy"... huh... Seto: I'll follow your example, Asou-san. p143==== Seto: Yo... Yoshizuki... p145==== Seto: Huh? She looks... strange... Seto: I didn't think you'd come... I mean, you said you wouldn't. Seto: No! All wrong!! That's not how I should say it. Iori: ...Yeah... Seto: Ah... I mean... Sorry... p146==== Iori: It seems we're on different wavelengths... p147==== Seto: No... No way... Seto: Is this then end!?
