Miyuki Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Chepin Wide-Ban Volume 4 Chapter 12 Expectation of Summer Page 250 Narrator: The rainy season... The prolog that rouses the forthcoming summer... Page 251 Narrator: Summer!! Summer!! Summer!! Masato: -Oh, summer... -being lazy through the summer of my 19th year... Page 252 Masato: -While there have various chances over the years, ----eventually, I have to separate my feelings between the two Miyukis -the results encountered each other one more time... hmmmm. -the summer of my 19th year....huh. -I have to do something around here, right.... -first of all, I have to concentrate on one of them... Page 253 Masato: ----so... -thinking about it realistically, I can't come closer to my sister.,, Miyuki: Onii-chan. Masato: WAA!! What.... Miyuki: A letter from father. Masato: Oh--,it's been a while, hasn't it. Is he still alive? Page 254 Masato: ---so? Miyuki: Well. "Why don't you two come to my place", he says... Masato: To the Phillipines? Miyuki: No, it's Australia from last month. Masato: Australia? Sheep, koalas, kangaroos. Miyuki: Mt. Fuji, geishas, and bullet trains. What are we going to do? Masato: n? Page 255 Miyuki: Onii-chan? Masato: Australia, huh, is a good place, right.... Miyuki: Sure it is!! It's 21 times bigger than Japan, the population is merely 15 million...the coral reefs in the ocean, and vast pasture lands...... Masato: It's splendid!! Great, isn't it!! -OK, it's settled!! Miyuki: Then... Masato: Yeah. Don't worry about your brother. Miyuki: eh? Page 256 Masato: It really is a shame...if I don't continue being a rounin for this summer... -This summer will be--- Miyuki: But I'll be a student taking college exams also. Masato: With your records, there's no need to study for the exams. -I'll invite Miyuki-chan to the beach house----- And, if you accept a top-rated university...how are you going to enter the same place as me? Although we are truly siblings, why is our intelligence so different... -It's obvious because we're not really siblings.... Anyway, if I fail next year, I'll end up being your underclassman, right. I want to avoid that by any means. Australia, huh....how great!! -The two of us alone in the beach house!!----heh heh Page 257 Masato: Well, it's a shame, but I'll accept it this year!! Those who command summer command the entrance exams!! I'll study straightfowardly!! -Official stance.... Miyuki: I guess so, if you play around this summer, it's will be really dangerous, right.....Onii-chan. Masato: -Huh? In any case, to father, as long as you are around....it doesn't matter what happens to me. In return, don't forget a souvenir, OK. Page 258 Miyuki: Then Onii-chan, try hard!! Masato: OK!! Miyuki: Next summer, we'll play together, OK. Masato: OK!! Page 259 Miyuki K.: My summer plans? I can't think of anything. And you, Wakamatsu-kun? Masato: -The two of us alone in the beach house---- n? Well, nothing really... I was thinking somewhere quiet, and cool, where I could study at ease... Page 260 Masato: Then maybe the beach, after all... Miyuki K.: To that beach house? Masato: ---Yeah!! That beach house!! Oh, that. The beach house would be good, but....I have a feeling we'll just play around... Miyuki K.: And Miyuki-chan? Masato: Ah, she'll go to our father's place. In Australia. Leaving his brother while he's a rounin...what a cold-hearted sister, right? Miyuki K.: Australia? Masato: I'm weak-willed...when I'm alone, I don't eat properly, and play and play..... What do you think I should do? Page 261 Muraki: What? What are you talking about? Masato: -The two of us alone in the beach house--- Muraki: Hey, let me know!! What? Masato: Then Miyuki-chan, that being said... Miyuki K.: OK. I understand. Masato: ----eh? Muraki: What? What do you understand? Masato: That being said.....? Miyuki K.: That being said------ Muraki: Hey? Hey? Page 263 Ryuuichi: Miyuki-chan!! Hey, what are you going to do this summer? Miyuki: Huh? Ryuuichi: You got fooled by that idiot last year, you regreted going to the mountains, right? Nakata: That idiot enters--- Ryuuichi: Then this year, the sea.... Nakata: Hey Wakamatsu, last year the mountains were fun, right!! Let's do it agaon this year!! Let's return to nature for one week!! Ryuuichi: You!! Bastard!! Nakata: Ahhh!! Why are you confronting a teacher!! Miyuki: I'm sorry, but I have somewhere to go this summer. Page 264 Ryuuichi: Where? Nakata: OK!! Let's go camping wherever Wakamatsi is going!! Miyuki: Australia!! Nakata: OK!! Australia!! Au.... Au...Au---Au--- Ryuuichi: Shut up!! Idiot!! Page 265 Masato: -Inserting just a little calm weather.... -the rainy season still continues---- Pae 266 Miyuki: Well done, well done. You're honestly doing it, aren't you!! Masato: Well, it's painful.....a gray rounin student. Miyuki: Try your best, OK!! If you try, you can do it.... Masato: Hah hah....leave it to me. -for the sake of resting this summer...for the sake of us two alone in the beach house.... Did you write a reply to father? Miyuki: Yeah. Masato: Well, go do your duty to your father. Miyuki: OK. I'll do your part too. Page 267 Masato: There's no need your my part!! I'm not that spoiled by that father who left me alone when I was a child!! Miyuki: Onii-cha-----n, dinner!! Masato: OK!! Phew---. Page 268 Masato: Well, well,...I can do it if I try, can't I. Next year will be an easy victory. Page 269 Miyuki: Yahoo. To my brother who cannot go anywhere because he has to study for the entrance exams...I'll give him a taste of summer, even just a feeling. Masato: Ah, well.... -hey, listen here.... Page 270 Masato: Miyuki... Miyuki: n? Masato: Ah.....nothing... -I won't, I won't!! If I can't control myself here, I'll end up repeating last year.... -I have to concentrate on one Miyuki!! Miyuki: Here, Onii-chan!! Masato: -Ummmm.....self-control, self-control!!
