Miyuki By Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Jose "Chepin" Garcia Edited by Jane Tung Chapter 13 Ryuuichi, Scheme of Love Page 318 Teacher: Masaki, you can't continue school like this. Ryuuichi: Is that so. Teacher: Don't make such a happy face. I'll let you take the exams again so do something about it. Ryuuichi: It's OK. I'll take care of it. Page 319 Ryuuichi: I'll do it again. Being a freshman. Teacher: You're accepting this too easily. Besides that, you're already one year older than everybody else. Ryuuichi: Haha, in a long life, what's one year or two years!! Please let me be a freshman. Masato: Repeat a year? Ryuuichi: Nice to meet you, sempai[upperclassman]. Masato: You still have the supplementary exams. Ryuuichi: Pass, pass. Page 320 Masato: Don't you want to become a sophmore? Ryuuichi: If we become classmates, we can be together for three years. Masato: With who? Ryuuichi: You should know...B-R-O-T-H-E-R. Page 321 Masato: You, don't go too far. Ryuuichi: At the same times, in the same places, together in the field trips, together in the class reunions...(lan!) Masato: -What a deadful man... Ryuuichi: Brother, don't worry. Because you can't give up on a strange insect. Leave Miyuki-chan to me, Ryuuichi. Please advance to a sophmore without anxiety. Masato: -My head is starting to hurt... Page 322 Masato: -But... -Even if we avoid Ryuuichi, -somebody else... Page 323 Masato: ah. Miyuki: What. Masato: I'll tidy up later. The entrance exam is the day after tomorrow, right. Miyuki: I'm OK, I'm OK. Miyuki...is a smart kid. Masato: -If you were related to me by blood... -You wouldn't have such a calm mind... -or be my girlfriend, get married with me... -sister... Page 324 Masato: -But, if Miyuki knew that... Miyuki: Ouch!! Masato: Did you cut yourself? Miyuki: I'm OK, it's not a big deal. Masato: Show me. Miyuki: I told you I'm fine. Masato: -If she knew she had not one blood relative... -Miyuki will end up alone in the whole world... Page 325 Masato: OK! Leave it to me, go study. Miyuki: That's a bit too much. Masato: Didn't you hear what your brother said? Miyuki: Ye.....s. Masato: -Definetily, this way... -soon, I will have to attend her wedding as a brother... Masato: -ouch Page 326 Masato: -The entrance exam day at Seika High School. Page 327 Miyuki K.: What's wrong, Wakamatsu-kun? Masato: Ah, I was thinking if Miyuki was going to be OK... Miyuki: Ah, silly. I am pretty good at skating. Masato: N, no. My sister Miyuki. Miyuki K.: Oh... Masato: She'll probably pass the exam perfectly, right... Miyuki K.: I't OK, if we're talking about Miyuki-chan, there's no doubt she'll pass. Page 328 Masato: yeah...but suppose something happens. Miyuki K.: Having siblings is great...I'm jealous because I'm an only child. But until the exams end, there's nothing that sibilings can do. Masato: Yeah... Miyuki K.: Then, let's skate together. Masato: Yeah. Miyuki K.: Kyaa!! Page 329 Kyomi: Oh, sorry, Miyuki!! Are you OK? Miyuki K.: I'm OK. Masato: Miyuki-chan, let's skate. Lan! Don't fail, Miyuki... Page 330 Girl1: It's over, it's over. Let's go eat something, Miyuki. Girl2: Oshiruko. [Sweet red bean soup] Miyuki: We'll become fat, Hiromi. I'm sorry, but we'll get together another time. Page 331 Miyuki: Hey. Masato: Did it go well? Did you get nervous? Miyuki: Yeah. See ya. Let's go, Onii-chan. Girl1: So this is what female comradeship really is... Girl2: Oshiruko... Page 332 Miyuki: Onii-chan, let's go drink coffee. Masato: Yeah, but...not this shop. Miyuki: Why? Anywhere is OK, isn't it. Then, let's go in. Masato: The shop's name, it makes me feel... [Note: The first kanji on Ryyuichi's name is "dragon"] Ryuuichi: Welcome!! Page 333 Miyuki: Huh? Are you working part-time here? Ryuuichi: OK, come on! I am the master of this shop. How have you been, Brother. One hot, one american! Miyuki: Heh, this is surprising. Did you know, Onii-chan? Masato: No. -If I knew, I would die before coming into this shop... Miyuki: Proprietor of a coffee shop...heh. Page 334 Masato: -My head hurts... Miyuki: Isn't that great. I've wanted to try out working in a coffee shop. Ryuuichi: Ah, really, Miyuki-chan? If you feel that way, I'll give you this shop anytime, with the master. Masato: Hey, don't sit down as you please!! We're customers!! Ryuuichi: Don't say that, I'm treating you today. Miyuki: Really? Thanks. Ryuuichi: Just for Miyuki-chan, this is nothing. R's mother: Thanks for waiting. Page 335 Ryuuichi: Oh, mom. This is the person who will become my wife. Miyuki-chan Wakamatsu. Masato: -What!? R's mother: Oh! Like his father, Ryuuichi is attracted by looks only. Ryuuichi: But my dad died when I was in elementary school. Miyuki: Oh, really. Masato: -When are you going to die? R's mother: Because Ryuuichi is timid and quiet, I thought his marraige would have to be be arranged. With this, I can go to his father with peace of mind. It's good, it's good. Page 336 Ryuuichi: Come back again anytime, Miyuki-chan. It'll be free. Miyuki: Thanks. Ryuuichi: Oh, Brother, you can come occasionally too. But it won't be free. Masato: Thanks. Why, you didn't refuse him. Page 337 Miyuki: Eh? Masato: Ryuuichi's mother, she completely believed it. Miyuki: What? Masato: The story about you and Ryuuichi getting married. Miyuki: Ah, that. Masato: It isn't "that", dummy. Miyuki: But, that was unexpected, I didn't know...what to say. Masato: I don't like it. Miyuki: Then, what kind of partner would be OK? Masato: Eh? That...well...for example... -Huh? -Nobody would be OK. Page 338 Miyuki: Well, even if somebody comes along...I'll take care of you until you get married. Masato: What are you going to do if I never get married? Miyuki: Then, I won't get married. Masato: You're lying. Miyuki: Really. Masato: -You didn't know about that unexpected situation before...but, above all... -Miyuki, you are lovely. Page 339 Masato: I want a better picture. OK, next time we have a date, I'll take a camera. -Above all, -Miyuki, you are lovely. Page 341 Miyuki: Onii-chan, my number is there! Masato: Of course. Miyuki: That's good. Masato: What is it, wasn't it natural that you were going to pass? Miyuki: There's no such thing as a sure thing, but... You're a worrier, I just couldn't make an anxious face... Masato: Miyuki... Page 342 Ryuuichi: Congratulations, Miyuki-chan!! Well, that's great, that's great. It will be great when we're on the same class. Banzai!! Miyuki: What does he mean?
