ĪLOVE x LOVE COMPLEX PARFAIT TIC Step . 21 Nanaji Nagumu Cuteness in full bloom Opening page in color 28 P ------ Page 5 ------ Fuuko: Wha... Daiya [off]: O--------i! ------ Page 6 ------ Daiya: Is this yellow lighter yours, Fuu-chan? Fuuko: Ah.. Y.. yeah! What? What did that mean? Why did he say something like that? It couldn't be... Fuuko: Tadaima--- Fuuko: ............... Mom: Fuuko? ------ Page 7 ------ It couldn't be! That's making me self-conscious!! Daiya: Ichi--- I've boiled some hot water for the furo--- Ichi: Pass. I'm taking a shower. Daiya: ...... Daiya: Wh... What's up with you? ------ Page 8 ------ Daiya: Would you lighten up? You're always in such a bad mood. Daiya: And what's more, do you know that you're upsetting Fuu-chan? Daiya: And even so, you're the one who's going to be mad like that!? Daiya: ....And here I've always thought Daiya: that maybe to you, Fuu-chan's.... [Note: He's hinting "that maybe you like Fuu-chan", I think... those "no koto" ending sentences are not fit for translation... ^^; ] ------ Page 9 ------ Daiya: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ichi: And who's the one acting like an OKAME INKO!! [Note: "And who are you to talk like you weren't part of it!!" ?] [Added note: An "okame inko" is a parakeet... To see a piture of an okame inko, go to http://www.geocities.co.jp/AnimalPark/6719/html/okame.htm Thanks to Nangi for the link. ^^] Fuuko: Wonder if I caught a cold? /Fuuko/ Damn. Daiya: An okame inko... /arrow to Daiya/ kicked out ------- Page 10 ------- It's not like that. Daiya: .............for real? But he's always saying offensive things. And even in the first place, Ichi knows that I like Daiya. Yeah, it's definitely something else. I can't come up with a deeper meaning, though... ------- Page 11 ------- It's.... It's something else!! Teacher: One person from each group come up and take a standard solution--- Fuuko: ! ------- Page 12 ------- Fuuko: Ah...... /Guy/ Uh-oh. Ichi: Well, it's broken... Fuuko: But you let go! Ichi: You're not hurt? Fuuko: ..No. Your hand... ------- Page 13 ------- Why did you draw it away... [Note: As in, "why'd you let go?"] Isocchi: Kameyama-san Isocchi: Do you have some time? ------- Page 14 ------- Isocchi: It was Daiya, wasn't it? The guy you said you liked. Fuuko [thought]: ......Found out so easily... (But then, he did see the picture) Fuuko: hahaha Isocchi: There's no hope with him. Isocchi: He really doesn't know about how you feel. Fuuko: ...! Isocchi: It's just natural, though. You haven't told him, and you're so conscious about not showing it in your attitude. ------- Page 15 ------- Isocchi: Are you planning to keep quiet forever? Isocchi: It might just be your way of doing things, speaking as someone who's been rejected, I just don't get you. Fuuko: Home already? Akio: Are you a stalker? ------- Page 16 ------- Akio: What is it? If it's small talk, then tell me in school. We were together at club activities 'til just a while ago. Fuuko: ...No Fuuko: It's not something like that, but... (Pathetic) Akio: Would you like to come up to my room? Fuuko: Uwaah! Fuuko: You really do have girly tastes, ne. [Note: Fuuko's commenting that her room looks like it belongs to a little girl and it just didn't seem characteristic of her.] Akio: GO AWAY Akio: ...so? ------- Page 17 ------- Akio: If you're just going to talk about how you and Shinpo-kun are getting along, then I'm not interested. Fuuko: ...Eh. Fuuko: By Shinpo, you mean... Eh, DAIYA!? That's.... Why would I... It's not about Daiya... Akio: You're still saying that? Fuuko: You noticed? Fuuko: You really piss me off, you know. What's this, spontaneous? Am I that stupid? /Akio/ I'm gonna change. Akio: Geez... ------- Page 18 ------- Fuuko: I'm sorry. I'm really not with Daiya, but there's been some stuff going on... Fuuko: Ahaha, You said I could come here if there was something on my mind. Fuuko: Ah! I'm not here to ask for advice, really, but if it's alright if you want to say something. Akio: !? Fuuko: And you said that we were pals... Fuuko: That we were friends... ------- Page 19 ------- Fuuko: Uwaa... Oh, my. That's so not like me, is it. Sorry, I think I'll go home after all.. Akio: Don't group us together! Akio: I already confessed to him! Akio: We might have something in common, knowing we have no hope, but you couldn't know what it feels like, these feelings being crushed, because you haven't told him yet! Fuuko: Bu.. Fuuko: But I never intended to tell him ever anyway. Akio: That's a lie! ------- Page 20 ------- Akio: You're just scared you're going to get rejected, right? Akio: You thought you might as well stay in lukewarm waters, right? Akio: THAT'S JUST SO UNDERHANDED!! Akio: Go home. Fuuko: ............ What's this. ------- Page 21 ------- What's with everyone------!? Off: And so, let's begin the "Sweet Heights Friendship Barbecue Convention". Guy: First of all, do you know which group you're supposed to be in? Fuuko [thought]: Huh.... ------- Page 22 ------- Daiya: Fuuko: Uwah. You caught me off-guard. /Fuuko/ That was sudden. Fuuko: What's wrong? Daiya: Ichi's not talking to me. Fuuko: Eh? Fuuko: Why...... Daiya: ........................ Daiya: I'm not telling. Fuuko: What's that supposed to mean!? Fuuko: What's with the bad attitude? Taa-kun [off]: Ah--- You guys are fighting--- ------- Page 23 ------- Taa-kun: Just like a married couple! Just like Papa and Mama. Fuuko: WHA.. /Taa-kun's Mom/ Ah, hey, Taa-kun!! Daiya: Why, you silly kid. /Taa-kun/ Kya-------- Fuuko [thought]: Geez. Ah Fuuko: ------------! Again? Girl: We're out of coals. Guy: Ah, well. You guys. Guy: Could you guys get some up front? ------- Page 24 ------- Fuuko [thought]: Wah---- All alone together. This is really making me nervous. Fuuko: Hya...... Daiya: Safe. Daiya: Try walking on where I've stepped on. ------- Page 25 ------- Walk apart on the sludge. I like him. I like him so much. ------- Page 26 ------- /memory of Isocchi/ I just don't get you. /memory of Akio/ That's so underhanded! /memory of Ichi/ Because you're a woman. Fuuko: --------... Fuuko: UM, DAIYA... Guy: Excuse me! We're out of mesh, too. Ichi: ......... /Guy/ Us old people are just in a bind!! ------- Page 27 ------- Fuuko: I lied. Fuuko: I told you that the person I liked wasn't anybody you knew, but that's not true. Fuuko: The truth is... ------- Page 28 ------- Fuuko: The one I like ------- Page 29 ------- Fuuko: is this one...!! To be continued [For those of you who don't have your copy of this chapter yet or just don't have it at all, no, she didn't make any of those ditzy grab-something-else-type deals... She's holding tightly onto his shirt and yelling it with her eyes closed. See, if she had grabbed something else, we wouldn't have seen it 'til the next chapter, ne? *lol* In any case... I wonder if she'll take back what she said in the next chapter... Hope she doesn't.. then it'll get interesting....] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://trans.i85.net/ Email: lilasia@hey.to Date: March 31, 2001
