Chapter 36 of I"s from I"s Volume 5 Translated by Ben Williamson with help by Sachi Coxon Presented by Jim Zubkavich and the Masakazu Katsura Shrine Chapter 36 Three Gates (Mitsu no Torii) Page 7 ---------- Ichitaka (Iori...) This is it... Ichitaka Will you walk through here with me? (It seems that I want to make a confession.) Page 8 ---------- Ichitaka Is Iori-chan troubled cause she knows my feelings... without saying anything at all Even if that wasn't the case would she be hesitant normally... maybe cause I'm asking her to cross the love-knot torii (sacred archway) Koshinae Make your confession. I think it will be okay, since it's Yoshizuki. Ichitaka You're serious, right, Koshinae! I'm trusting what you're saying, okay! Page 9 ---------- Iori I... Iori Is it okay, just with me? Ichitaka Uwa! What an answer! Well, I confessed... Is she definitely saying 'Yes, that's true?'" Page 10 ---------- Iori (This is another one I'm not quite sure about, because I haven't read an earlier chapter. She's either saying "I wrote it's okay if we're friends" or she's saying "You wrote it's okay if we're friends.) Ichitaka Oh yeah! (Someone) wrote it would be okay if we're just friends... is that okay? (or still true?) Ichitaka Ah... what an escaped feeling. But probably not it's best not to hurry. Here/Now we should believe in God's power and... let's walk through these three gates. I'm not sure if I've relieved my conscience, but I've started to be courageous" Page 11 ---------- Ichitaka Okay, let's go! Huh? Wh-hat? Iori (Your) arm..........(can I hold it, basically) Ichitaka Hm... if you say that I guess it was written, wasn't it... (Again, requires context) So, that's it. Page 12 ---------- Iori Is it okay? Ichitaka Yeah Iori Excuse me Ichitaka Excuse me is a strange thing to say, isn't it?" Iori I'm sorry! Ichitaka No no, that's not it. Page 13 ---------- Ichitaka What a great moment! That I and Iori-chan can be arm in arm!" Okay! Let's go! For the sake of not letting this happiness last only for today! Page 15 ---------- Miyoko You think god only exists in painful times? What a fool! What a frivolous, strange man! I bet she thinks the same about you! Guys like you, it doesn't matter what you do, you'll fail! Even if you do something like confess your feelings, it'll just feel weird and it'll be forever, The End! Give up! Ichitaka Miyoko-chan... Page 16 ---------- Ichitaka Sorry... let's keep going. Iori Y...yeah Ichitaka Let's go! You and Iori are...Different! Page 17 ---------- Ichitaka Yeah, it's different than before. Anyway, it's time to move forward now, without thinking too much! Iori Before... I felt a little surprised. Ichitaka Eh? Iori Hey... Didn't you just call me... in that way? (He called her Iori-chan, being a bit familiar) Ichitaka Duhh... oh yeah Iori-chan Page 18 ---------- Ichitaka Doh! I called her by an informal name! How embarassing! Um... did I screw up? Iori Eh? No, it's not bad, just a little strange. Maybe it would be better to yobisute." (Yobisute - Call someone by their last name without -san ending Less formal than with -san, but not as informal as -chan) Ichitaka Okay Heh heh... Iori But... It wasn't really bad. Page 19 ---------- Ichitaka If I remember these last four months... Ever since we were chosen to be on the committee for the 'Freshman Welcome Party' much has happened. We're not at all the same! Don't group me with those jerks! Getting hit... Having fights... Being together in my room... And then... Page 20 ---------- Ichitaka ...screwing up my confession Many memories of my unrequited love. Doing this sort of thing today The many things after today will soon be part of our memories. Even if it's a fantasy, I feel that it could come true beneath that light! Page 21 ---------- Ichitaka Okay! We're here! The last gate Pray for a Good Match Love Knot Fulfillment of Love Ichitaka I'm filled with resolve! The last step! Page 22 ---------- Iori A... Normal, isn't it? Hold on a second normal here Ichitaka I-Iori-chan... you're carrying a cell phone?" W-why now, of all times! Iori This... right. Nami lent this to me so that in order to get in contact with us... Hello? Nami Ah, Iori? Wait a second, I'm giving the phone to Higemi. Higemi Hey, Yoshizuki right? Seto is there probably, so give him the phone okay? Damn... the goal is right in front of me! Page 23 ---------- Ichitaka Yes Higemi Seto! It's a phone call from your mother, so hold on a second. Ichitaka Even though it's right in front of me Ichitaka Mother? What the heck? Yes? Hello? Ichitaka’s Mom Ah... Ichitaka! It's horrible! A fire! And Itsuki... Ichitaka Eh! What's happened to Itsuki!? ---------- End of Chapter 36 ----------
