Chapter 39 of I"s Volume 5 Translated by Joseph Yu & Jose Garcia Presented by Jim Zubkavich and the Masakazu Katsura Shrine Chapter 39 First Worries ( ) is a translated character thought.. (* *) means this this was added to make the English understandable. Sometimes this involves our inferring a subject or action NOT in the original Japanese. (** **) this is a general comment thrown in by the translator Page 62 Iori: Good.. Good afternoon .. Ichitaka: Ahh.. Page 63 Ichitaka: Huh? Iori: What is it? Ichitaka: Where's Teritani? Iori: I ... came alone ... Ichitaka: Eh?! Iori: I'm sorry.. Ichitaka: Ah.. it's nothing ... I mean .. (Since I didn't think Iori-chan would come alone to my house...) Page 64 Iori: Excuse the interruption... Itsuki: Well then , I'll make the tea... Ichitaka: Eh? That's OK, I'll do it. Itsuki: I said it's ok, I said it's ok, I said I want to help, let me do it. In that time, you should change out of your pajamas. Besides, it seems you're leaking. What could it be .. Pee! Ichitaka: Haguahh! (Argh!) Iori: You have a good relationship, don't you.. Page 65 Iori: Somehow, you look like brother and sister. Itsuki: So she says... Isn't it good that she didn't say we look like lovers? Ichitaka: What are saying, Itsuki?!! Itsuki: Well, well , Iori-san .. While It-chan goes to pee, would you please come this way? Iori: Y - Yes. Page 66 Ichitaka: (What to do.. This feeling ... A little while ago, when I saw Iori's face...) (Even though Iori-chan said she came by herself to visit...) Iori: It's great that (* she *) looks healthy. Ichitaka: Eh? Ah. I'm already like this ... Iori: Ah.. I meant ... Itsuki-chan... Ichitaka: Ah .. so that's it... Iori: The fire ... wasn't it a big deal? Page 67 Ichitaka: Yeah ... it's already ... almost completely burned down ... But she said that somehow nothing significant (* was lost in the fire *), acting as if nothing happened. (** not sure of this line**) Iori: Eh? That's how it is? Really? Ichitaka: Yeah... By the way, did anything interesting happen on the school trip from when I left? Iori: About that, after Seto-kun returned, I was alone, you see. Sensei, Koshinae-kun, and I, the three of us, we ended up doing things together. Sensei only went to see souvenir shops.. Ichitaka: As I thought! Do you understand my hardships now? It was the worst, wasn't it? Itsuki: ..... Page 68 Itsuki: I should do the coffee again, shouldn't I? Ichitaka: That's right, darn. After all that, because of the disaster, I didn't buy anything to make (*that trip*) memorable, did I? Iori: Hu, hu, hu... (giggle) That's what I thought .. I brought the souvenir. Ichitaka: Eh? Really? Iori: Yes, here you go.. Page 69 Ichitaka: Wow!! It's the "Love Connection"! Iori: Isn't it the thing that Seto-kun wanted? So... Ichitaka: Ah .. But .. How did you buy it? Iori: (*Going through*) the shrine's gate, you know, the two of us were seen by the side shop's priestess .. Because she remembered us ... Lovers ... companions ... That's what we ended looking like to her.. Page 70 Iori: Ah... it's about time.. Ichitaka: Eh? But you still haven't had tea ... Iori: No... I have a few things to do .. Sorry... Ichitaka: Is that so .. Itsuki: What? Leaving already? Ichitaka: You're late. Iori: Excuse the interruption... Ichitaka: I'll walk you to the station .. Teritani: Itsuki-chan !!! Page 71 Teritani: The fire was terrible, wasn't it?!! I was really worried !! Itsuki: Ah.. is that so .. Iori: Ah .. I'll be OK from here .. Ichitaka: Eh? But .. Iori: Since it's Teritani, don't lose sight of him ... It's dangerous for Itsuki-chan.. Ichitaka: .... (It's underhanded ... to Itsuki also .. to Iori-chan also..) Page 72 Ichitaka: (Even though Iori-chan came to play at my house ...) (Even though we could've be together, the feeling was that she was quickly retreating) (Iori-chan returned confused. Maybe it's because of that ...) (Ah.. how did such a thing happen..) (That thing..) (Thinking of Itsuki's feelings ... Now, happening like this, these worrysome things are agonizing for her. (Wait ... Possibly, at that moment, I fell in love Itsuki ...) (Or was it only for that instant?) Page 73 Ichitaka: Oooohhh! (What, what's with me! This is the first time like this! I don't know! I don't understand this situation! My head is cracking!) Side Text: (He who runs after two hares will catch neither) Ichitaka: (As soon as Itsuki isn't here, Would Iori also drift away?) (Idiot! I'm not making any kind of split!) (Then ... About Itsuki, what do I think of her? How should I know?) (How should I know? Really... I don't understand at all...) (Somehow... This "Love Connection".. For Iori and me, I came to be able to think that this is the only thread that connects us) Itsuki: What are you yelling about? Page 74 Itsuki: You can go in to the bathroom finally. Ichitaka: You should knock when you come in! (Why am I so nervous?) Itsuki: Aaaah! It-chan! Could this possibly be !!! It's the "Love Connection"!! Ichitaka: (Hah?! Damn! That's it! That's it! From the beginning, wasn't the "Love Connection" something that Itsuki asked me to get?!!) Page 75 Itsuki: You remembered the souvenir! Kyaaa!! Ichitaka: Ah... no.. (What should I do?!! Should I be silent and give it her with pleasure...? (No! That's no good! If that was hand delivered, I have a feeling that Iori-chan really came a long way) Itsuki: Even if it had been anything, it would have been great! It-chan is amazing!!! Ichitaka: (Sorry, Itsuki!) (Actually, I can't give that to you) Page 76 Itsuki: This is already the replacement for the clay (statue) as my treasure! Page 77 Itsuki: This was my lifetime treasure ... Ichitaka: Make it your treasure... Itsuki: Yup! Ichitaka: I'm dangerous... ---------- End of Chapter 39 ----------
