Each line of dialogue represents one speech balloon. Page 1 refers to page 1 of the chapter. ========================================================================== Aizu Chapter 7 Running Thoughts. Runaway feelings P1 [Everytime I get damned nervous when I am alone with Iori.] [But yet, even now when I am in my own room, why is it that I am still so nervous that I can't catch my breath?] P2 [Managed to do a hasty clean-up of my room before she entered.] [Hope I didn't miss anything!] [I've stashed the skin mags under the bed.] [Cleared the carpet of dust.] [ARGH!] [Where is that magazine with the pictures of Iori in swimwear?] [I remember that... Oh yes! I stuffed it into the drawer.] P3 [Before, I had put up an act of disinterest regarding her appearance in the magazine... should Iori find me with that magazine, she would surely be angry.] IC : You...you should find somewhere... to sit... [She's so trusting. I must not behave in a suspicious manner, lest she have a bad impression of me.] IR : um... Thank you... [But...but in this kind of situation, what should I do...?] PEEK P4 [That part of her body which is decimeters from me...] [Iori's shapely body is just in front of me!] [AHH!] [No, no!] P5 [I can't think such perverted thoughts!] [Not when she trust me so!] [This won't do. I must think of something to say.] IR : Teratani... is taking his time. P6 IC : Y-yes... ***Shakespearean stuff. Not well translated. Feel free to reword.*** [That soft, gentle way in which she speaks...] [That fragrance that hangs in the air around her...] [All these are electing such strong emotions from my heart.] [Such purity...] [Iori, who is so lovable...] [Should I ever dishonor you by regarding you in a sexual way...] [Then even if I die 10,000 times...] [I still would not have been able to repay for my sin...] ****** [B-but... underneath that tight fitting miniskirt of hers, is her panties...] [I... I am...] P7 [Getting aroused!!] [How I wish to see it! How I wish to see Iori's panties!] PANTIES! [HUH!?] ***Start of Ichitaka's fantasy*** IR : I bet you want very much to see it. [Io...Iori... What is it... that you just said...?] IR : Aren't all boys very interested in girls' panties? IR : Just now... weren't you staring at me? [She... she noticed...] [What!? Surely not!?] P8 IC : Io...Iori... IR : Please don't get the wrong idea... that I would do this for anyone... IR : You alone... are special... P9 IC : Io... IC : IORI! ****** IR : Uh... Ichitaka... IR : Ichitaka... IR : Ichitaka! I'm calling you! [HUH?!] P10 [God! I'm undone! My mind was totally detached from reality!] IR : You seem to be deep in thoughts... is something wrong? [I need to think of an explanation!] IC : Ha...haha! IC : Uhm... IC : What is this? IR : Really! This is what we originally planned to buy today! I didn't tell you what it was yesterday, so I thought you would like to know... [So this is what she said she wanted to show me today!] IC : A fan? So it is a fan! IC : Fan! My fan! P11 [AHH!] [What in the world am I doing!?] [What I just did was not funny. What's more, it's plain stupid! Anyone could tell I am hiding something!] [Ahh~~... Her expression... like as if she is looking at some weird beast!] [I don't believe I behaved so candidly before her!] [The impression that Iori had of me so far must have been shattered by that stupid display! What would she think!] [It's all my fault. If I hadn't been daydreaming, this wouldn't have happened.] [This must be retribution. Thinking such perverted thoughts about Iori in her very presence. I deserved it.] P12 Hee! IR : What's with you? IR : Your expression just now was so funny! [Huh?] [The strange thing was that she actually thought it was funny.] IC : Haha hahaha! IC : Lets eat... the snacks now! IR : Ok... [Iori's laughter had transformed the awkward atmosphere to one of warmth and friendliness...] P13 [When I finally noticed this...] IR : I wonder what happened to Teratani... IC : That fellow. I bet he had probable gone chasing after girls. [It's unbelievable that I could chat so easily and naturally with Iori, who I had secretly liked for so long. This is so enjoyable! But I still find it hard to look her in the eyes.] IC : Teratani has quite a way with girls. Hard to believe isn't it? With that face of his! IR : You are probably not bad yourself, aren't you? IC : Me? IR : If you had not acted the fool just now... IR : I wouldn't have known what to do. IR : This is the first time I visited a guy's room... so I'm quite nervous... IR : Yet you handled things like an old pro... knowing just how to put a girl at her ease. P14 IC : Huh? What do you mean? IR : You had a girlfriend in primary school didn't you? Teratani told me. [That jerk...] [Busybody! Who asked him to tell!] IR : I heard she liked you a lot! IR : What about you then? Do you still like her? [How can that be, Iori!] IC : Uh... well... IR : Aha! You're blushing! IC : I'm not! [I WAS blushing...] P15 [...but the reason is that you're too beautiful...] IR : I'm so happy... IR : Finally I could talk to you naturally as a friend... P16 [Huh?] IR : Ah, I'm sorry... IR : I need to use the washroom.... IC : Just go through that door and you'll see it. IR : Ok. P17 [Happy to be able to talk naturally with me as a friend? My thoughts exactly....] [Does that means...] [Hmm? She's coming out? That fast...? P18 IK : Hmm? P19 IK : Oops! Excuse me. IC : Who... who is she?! NOTE : Itsuki is sleeping in the back room. Careful not to wake her! -Mother. ---------------------END-----------------------
