Miyuki By Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Jose "Chepin" Garcia Edited by Jane Tung Chapter 15 Spring Vacation Page 368 Masato: Miyuki-chan is not going to the picnic? Are you lying? Muraki: You said she would say OK if you participated? You're the big liar! You were being conceited. Masato: Then, I won't go either. Muraki: You think I would forgive you for being that selfish? Page 369 Masato: But, it won't be any fun. Muraki: But I won't have any fun. If Kashima doesn't go... Masato: Didn't you give up? Muraki: Ha! If you two still have that kind of relationship,...there's still some desire within me. Masato: -That kind of relationship...? -Huh? Huh? Page 370 Yasujirou: Hi. Masato: Ah, hello. Yasujirou: Where to? Masato: Miyuki-chan...ah, I mean....I wanted to talk to your daughter... Yasujirou: Well, get in. Masato: OK. Page 371 Yasujirou: You wanted to talk about the picnic to my daughter, right? Masato: Yeah. Yasujirou: You wanted to know why she isn't going, right? Masato: Huh...where do you have this written down? Yasujirou: Actually, what was written,... is that her father is against it. Masato: Huh? Yasujirou: Withouth a guardian, just high school boys and girls at a picnic is indiscrete! ...that's how it is. Page 372 Yasujirou: Do you want to be with Miyuki Kashima by any means? Masato: Yeah,... if I could... Yasujirou: Well, her father is a man who completely understands... Won't you look for a good switching scheme...OK, Brother. Page 373 Yasujirou: So then, such as it is, think of a reply ahead of time. Page 374 Miyuki K.: Ah, Wakamatsu-kun. Guy: Ah, well then. Excuse me. Masato: Who was that guy? Miyuki K.: I don't know....he asked me if I could be his friend.... Masato: And? Miyuki K.: Oh no. Of course I refused. I don't like that kind of person. Masato: Oh, really. -Then, if it was a person you liked....? Page 375 Muraki: Ha, with that kind of relationship!! Masato: Miyuki-chan, let's go together! To the picnic!! Miyuki K.: But...my father.... Masato: Leave it to me! It's OK!! Yasujirou: I'll let you go with my daughter... Masato: Your father is... Yasujirou: In return, add your sister and I to the picnic party. Masato: With Miyuki...? Yasujirou: That is so. Page 376 Masato: Do policemen also have spring vacations? Yasujirou: On that day, I will catch a cold. What a good switching scheme, right? Masato: What a really good father... Miyuki K.: Eh? Page 377 Masato: Hey, Miyuki... Miyuki: Yeah? What? Masato: That's OK. Continue. Miyuki: OK. Page 378 Masato: I'll get it. Yes, this is Wakamatsu. Page 379 Yasujirou: Well, hello again! I am Miyuki Kashima's father!! From what my daughter tells me, it appears somehow you accepted my proposal. Really, thank you. Masato: Ah, well...about that. Yasujirou: Is your sister around? Masato: Huh? Yasujirou: Please give the phone to her. Masato: Miyuki... phone call. Miyuki: From whom? Page 380 Masato: Miyuki-chan's father. Miyuki: Eh? Why me? Hello. Yeah. ...eh? Huh? That voice...
