Miyuki Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Chepin Wide-Ban Volume 3 Chapter 6 In an Dilemma Page 116 Mother: Yes. That is so. Yes. With my husband. For seven days in Disneyland, Honolulu. Oh, no. It's not anything significant. Page 117 Mother: So, for that time, our Miyuki... Yes, since she would be worried if she was alone in this house. Yes. Yes, that is so. If you say it that way, we can also leave with peace of mind. She'll also live with you instead of missing us...you've really saved us. Then that's how it will be. Please take care of her. Yes, sorry for bothering you. Page 118 Mother: That's good. Miyuki K.: What is? What do you mean, "Please take care of her." What are you intending to do while on you trip? Yasujirou: Ah, Mother. One more beer. Mother: For the sake of our overseas trip which is unsuited for our social status, I asked for collaboration to reduce family expenses for a little while. When you have a husband of poor earnings, your head hurts. Miyuki K.: Hey, mom. Where did you call? Mother: It is alright. It is the place where you want to be the most. Page 119 Masato: Miyuki, who called? Miyuki: Kashima-san's mother. Masato: eh? What did Miyuki-chan's mother want? Page 120 Miyuki: Starting tomorrow, for a week, she'll be going on an overseas trip with Yasujirou. Masato: Heh-- that's great. An overseas trip, where? Miyuki: Disneylan, Honolulu. Masato: Heh--- Huh? If so...what about Miyuki-chan...? Miyuki: That's why... since it's dangerous alone, she wants us to take care of her here. Page 121 Masato: eh? Miyuki, how did you respond? Miyuki: I said it's OK. Masato: Oh, really. Miyuki: heave-ho. Masato: What are you doing? Miyuki: I am leaving on a trip for a week. Masato: Huh? Page 122 Miyuki: I'll be a pest if I'm here, right? Masato: Huh? Hey! Wait a moment!! What are you thinking!? Miyuki: You want to be alone with Kashima-san, right? Masato: n? Well....yeah. Miyuki: See you. Masato: Wait, dummy!! Page 123 Masato: This is you house, right? If you're opposed, even if it's Miyuki-chan, she can't come into this house. Miyuki: I'm not really opposed. I was the one who took the phone call. Masato: Then it's OK. Until I dismiss you, don't think that I want the both of us to be alone. Miyuki: I'll bother you. Masato: huh? Page 124 Miyuki: Won't you think another girl, one that you get along with, would make a cute sister to obediently watch over? I'll be deeply jealous. Masato: Alright, whenever you want to bother us, bother us! Nobody is going to restrain you!! This is your house!! At any rate, there is no reason for you to leave! Understood!! Miyuki: You'll regret it. Masato: -Gulp!! Page 125 Miyuki K.: It's OK. Masato: Really? Miyuki K.: Darn it, my mother...she always treats me like a child. Page 126 Masato: But, it's disheartening being alone, right? There's nothing restraining you. Miyuki K.: Thanks. But... Masato: But? Miyuki: After all... Masato: After all? Miyuki K.: I'll be alright, even if I'm alone. As you can see, I'm strong. Page 127 Muraki: Hey, Wakamatsu. Masato: Anyway, if there's any trouble, contact me immediately. Miyuki K.: OK. Masato: Relieved and disappointed. Muraki: What? Masato: A complicated psychological description. Page 128 Lady A: Ah, Miyuki-chan. Lady B: Come here a moment. Have you seen a strange man? Miyuki K.: No, not really. What's going on? Lady A: A while ago, over by that street, a woman was attacked by a pervert. Miyuki K.: Eh? Page 129 Lady B: That's not all. Last night also, my neighbor Kubota-san said she was peeped on in the bathroom... Lady A: It looks like the pervert been coming around this neighborhood a lot lately---- Miyuki K.: Yeah. Lady A: For the time being, we've notified the police. Lady B: It's would be better if you're careful. Lady C: Oh, everybody must feel safe at Miyuki-chan's place. Lady B: Ah, that is so. Lady A: Her father, from the police, is there. Miyuki K.: Well, yeah. Page 131 Miyuki: That's stupid, Kashima-san was worried. It must be disheartening being alone. You should have been more forceful---it's certainly very hard to live in another person's home, you know. Darn it, that wasn't very considerate. It will be your fault if something happens to Kashima-san. Masato: -What's this, what's going on.... Page 133 Page 134 Masato: -Maybe she went to sleep... Masato: -Maybe in the toilet? Maybe in the bath? Masato: -There probably aren't any of her relatives in the neighborhood... Page 135 Masato: Miyuki-chan!! Miyuki-chan!! Miyuki-chan!! Page 136 Masato: eh? Miyuki: Here. Miyuki K.: Ah, I'm sorry for this. Miyuki: Not at all.
