Miyuki By Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Jose "Chepin" Garcia Edited by Jane Tung Chapter 2 Brother and Sister Page 44 Miyuki: Onii-chan... Masato: We can't, Miyuki!! We're brother and sister!! Miyuki: In foreign countries, even brothers and sisters kiss. Masato: But... Well, I guess so. If it's just a kiss... Page 45 Miyuki: Morning, Onii-chan. Masato: n...n...n!! What did you just do!? Miyuki: Morning kiss. Should I do it one more time? Masato: Idiot!! -Oh, it was just in the forehead... This is Japan!! Japanese brothers and sisters don't do that!! Miyuki: Oh! I've been living overseas for too long. The food is prepared. Please get up, OK. [Spoken with a foreign accent] Page 46 Masato: -It's been three days since we returned from the lodge. -It's the last day of summer vacation. -Rejected by my classmate Miyuki... -As destiny would have it, then the eye-catching girl also named Miyuki. -But, that the sister I've been waiting to see for six years... -At the same time I was acting idiotically... ha ha ha!! Shit!! I don't have any luck. Page 47 Masato: Fua..!! What's this? Miyuki: Father's departure letter. Masato: What a thoughtless father!! Everything is written in English!! Miyuki: It's French. Masato: Oh yeah, it is!! Miyuki: I lied. It's English. Masato: Ha...ha... What did he write? Page 48 Miyuki: Due to an urgent job, I am going to Canada!! I won't return for a while!! Everybody, take care!! From dad!! Masato: Whaat!? What a parent!! He still isn't satisfied to leave me alone for only six years!! Miyuki: He doesn't want to leave you alone. You won't go with him, right? Masato: I like Japan!! At his convinience, he is being dragged everywhere!! Miyuki: Japan is kind of small. In this age we need international people. Masato: I'll live here till I die!! Other than that, why didn't you go with him? Page 49 Miyuki: You being alone must be hard. Masato: I'm alright!! Shige-san takes care... Huh? Where's Shige-san? Miyuki: Huh, didn't you know? Her daughter had a baby, so I gave her some free time. Masato: Eh? Miyuki: It will be alright. If I only need to take care of Onii-chan and go to school, then I can handle it. Masato: So that means, that it will be us two only in this house? Miyuki: Yeah, aren't you happy? Page 50 Masato:* -Seperated for six years, but, although I didn't know it, I've come to need one girl. -For now, my so-called sister... Miyuki: I made everything. Is it good? Masato: Yeah. -It's not that easy to explain!! -As for myself, it's not like I can't ask her to go out with me as a brother!! Miyuki: Huh? Masato: Umm...it's good!! Page 51 Miyuki: Onii-chan, are you free today? Masato: Is there something wrong with that!? -If I hadn't been found out as the swimwear thief... -right about now I would be going with Miyuki Kashima to see a movie.. Shit!! Miyuki: When you're finished with your meal, let's go see a movie!! Masato: Eh? We're brother and sister!! Miyuki: Aren't brothers and sisters allowed to go to movies in Japan? Masato: Well, yeah!! Whatever you want!! Page 52 Miyuki: Wow! What great weather! This neighborhood has changed a lot!! Masato: -Not as much as you... Page 53 Masato: -This troublesome situation... -She is cute!! Page 54 Masato: -Ryuuichi... Ah, this is my little sister!! -Will he believe me? Ryuuichi: HA HA!! Masato: HA HA!! Ryuuichi: HA HA!! Page 55 Masato: -Tomorrow will be start of an interesting semester... Miyuki: Who was that? He's a cheerful person!! Masato: A classmate!! -Choosing this movie was a mistake... Page 57 Masato: -When somehow, a very gentle mother appeared... --Of course, I couldn't care less if it's just that.... -Somehow, the story started with her getting sick, and, until the end of the movie, there didn't seem to be anything uplifting about it. -This is troublesome!! -Scenes with mothers dying are not for me!! Page 58 Masato: -In reality, I, who has lost two mothers... -am a person who has shed tears twice. What a boring movie!! Let's get out of here and watch another one!! Miyuki: Yeah. Masato: -From the time my mother died, I was small and thus cried reluctanly. -Then, my father remarried... * -I have a feeling that my mother and sister were crying. Page 58 Masato: -My new mother was gentle... 2nd Mother: Masato-chan.. Please take care of Miyuki... She's your little sister... Masato: Of course!! What are you saying, mom? Miyuki: Mama!! 2nd Mother: Well...please get along with her always... Page 59 Masato: You will always be with us, right, mom!? 2nd Mother: I'm sorry... Masato: Eh? WAAA!!!! Miyuki: Onii...chan... Masato: It isn't very enjoyable... ...this movie... Page 60 Masato: -Wait!! -Huh? -I haven't thought about till now, but... -Huh? -When my new mother came, Miyuki appeared!! -So what does that mean? -Together with the remarriage? I'm trying to remember... Page 61 Masato: -Huh? -What does that mean? -Miyuki and I are siblings, but... eh? Miyuki: Let's go, Onii-chan!! Masato: -But... -There's no blood relation!! Page 63 Miyuki: Onii-chan, the bath is boiling!! Masato: All right. Miyuki: Ah...it hurts!! Masato: What happened? Miyuki: I fell on the tub!! Ah...they're all soaked!! Masato: Well, I'm going into the tub. Page 64 Miyuki: Are you alright? Onii-chan... Masato: I am alright!! I am alright!! 2nd Mother: Please take care of Miyuki... She's your little sister...
