Chapter 38 of I"s Volume 5 Translated by Ben Williamson Presented by Jim Zubkavich and the Masakazu Katsura Shrine Chapter 38- Reopened Memories Page 44 - Itsuki: Even though you were so important to me. Itsuki: Even though you were my most valued possession Page 45 - *footsteps* Ichitaka: Itsuki. Page 46 - Ichitaka: You... that... that clay. Itsuki: It-chan! Look! Look! Ichitaka: Hey, stop that. Don't call me It-chan, it's uncool. Itsuki: Huh? It should be okay, because we're lovers. Page 47 - *gulp* Itsuki: Anyway, more important than that, look here. *ta daah!* Ichitaka: Hey, when did you make this? Itsuki: During art. I was supposed to do the face of the person sitting next to me, but I've got no interest in that person, so I made you instead. Itsuki: Teacher was a bit pissed... Page 48 - Ichitaka: You made this without even looking at my face? Itsuki: Yep! Ichitaka: Wow, you're skilled. It's great! Itsuki: Wow! It's the first time! The first time It-chan praised me! Itsuki: I'll treasure this forever! Ichitaka: You're exaggerating. Page 49 - Ichitaka: Anyway, I don't want to talk to the person who goes to America, has fun, and forgets about me! Ichitaka: At any rate, I praise when something's worth of praise, even if you've probably forgotten. Ichitaka: Do you remember? The time you made a paper-mache of me? Ichitaka: You said it would be your most valuable possession. Do you have it? Huh? Show it to me. Itsuki: No good... Page 50 - Itsuki: Would you really take it? As you said, it's a schoolkid thing. Ichitaka: I feel the same way. (not sure about the same one) Itsuki: I-chan, I know you like Iori. I don't particulary wish for anything, so please don't worry. Page 51 - Ichitaka: She's always being hurt by me... Itsuki. Ichitaka: I won't hurt her anymore. Itsuki: Heh... guess you saw me. Itsuki: I didn't want to complain, so I tried to keep it hidden. Itsuki: But for it to be broken... why? Page 52 - Itsuki: In a way, it's almost pleasant. Continuing to have feelings for someone so heartless is, of course, painful. Itsuki: The truth is, I didn't forget you in America. I came back because I wanted to see you. Itsuki: Even now, I like you. I've said it so many times. Maybe this time you will think I'm serious? Itsuki: Serious... why serious? Itsuki: Of course this is heart-breaking. Page 53 - (This next bit i'm a bit worried about, since my translation could be slightly off, but slightly off could change the entire meaning of what she says. Here's what I think she's saying) Itsuki: I have to give up on you, but it's not something I can change. Itsuki: So for this to be broken... of course this is heart-breaking Page 54 - Page 55 - Ichitaka: What am I doing? Ichitaka: Even though I was about to confess to Iori. Ichitaka: Do I really like Iori? Ichitaka: What do I think of Itsuki? Ichitaka: Perhaps because I was thinking too much... Ichitaka: I caught a fever. Page 56 - Ichitaka: I wonder if Itsuki is around? Ichitaka: She quickly dissappears, so I'm a little worried. *two days later* Ahh, it lowered. (The fever, presumably) Today school starts. It's morning, and I might skip school just because I'm used to staying in sick. Of course, these last two days I haven't seen Itsuki's face. Page 57 - Ichitaka: I wonder if she dissappeared again. Ichitaka: After what happened Ichitaka: I think she's followed that pattern enough. Page 58 - Itsuki: Hey! You're healthy again! Ichitaka: Uh? Itsuki: I'm glad, I'm glad. Ichitaka: so it's irritating. Ichitaka: even though this is somehow . Itsuki: I waited! I waited! I waited! Ichitaka: Ah! Itsuki: After a lady comes in, shouldn't you give her a little time? Ichitaka: Yeah, whatever. Page 59 - *doorbell* Itsuki: I have no idea what she's saying, but I swear it looks like she's saying "Hey! Reveal yourself here!" While bludgeoning his crotch. Ichitaka: Quit it! *drag drag* Ichitaka: Idiot! Let go of me! Ichitaka: Hello, who is it? Ichitaka: Iori-chan *End of Chapter 38*
