Tn: TBH the max tl speed for me is around 1 chapter per hour limited to my typing speed… but that was for only 1 chapter because I was totally immersed in it (and the chapters are so short) BUT.. because I'm shameless and not much people seems to read this (this is an excuse) I’m gonna slow down on the releases since it feels like I have translated 7 chapters before the week has even ended when I said it would be 2-3 chapters per week. I’m also wasting more time typing this out instead of translating this chapter hehe.
「Is Nakamura going to return this afternoon to uhh… Phyllis Academy?」
At this moment I was walking back to the classroom with him.
「Yep. But it’s not far from here, around half a hour drive 」
He spoke with a “I’m still going to come over and play often” look in his eyes
But for it to be half a hour drive away…I took a look outside the window at home and this small town is practically the suburbs
「But isn’t that kind of school supposed to be built in the centre of the city」
「How should I put this, that school could be considered as a small city itself… I’ll take you there myself next time」
Isn’t that too big! (Tn: That’s what the loli said)
The atmosphere suddenly seems to turn awkward
Nakamura seems to have something to tell me.
「Nakamura, what is it?」
「You know…even though I call you Sai, you still call me Nakamura….」
「Hng?」
Nakamura seems to be mumbling something to himself
「It’s nothing, let’s go back to the classroom」
The afternoon class had ended just like that.
After so many years and then returning to high school class gives me a peculiar feeling.
Especially the native language class, or should I say sector 11’s literature class.
The lesson always gives me strange vibes.
It’s like there is a auto translator inside my brain, I just need to look at any literature classic and the meaning along with the story would instantly appear in my head.
Isn’t this too much of a cheat.
The current me might even become a (fe)male scholar!
「The student exchange is about to end soon, would Nakamurkun want to come up and say something?」
Nakamura nodded and on the way to the front, told me 「Let’s meet up on the roof later」
It was something like thanking everyone for taking care of him for the past two days, studying together, etc.
At last he did a bow to the class which was the signal his talk was over, the students in the class then all began clapping
A few boys in the class even started whistling
To be able to get along with so many people in just a day, amazing! (Tn: He spent the first day with Kanade so he only had one day to make new friends when Kanade wasn’t at school)
Shocked by the inflated popularity Nakamura has, I subconsciously compared it to myself. It seems like the only person I talk to in school is with him.
Even though I don’t need to make friends at this stage, but it’s still quite depressing…
Sprawled over my desk, I breathed a sigh
The roof, it should be above the education department
With great effort, I made my way up the stairs step by step, eventually reaching a metal door
It should be here.
「Ah, Sai has arrived」
「If you’re still here, wouldn’t you miss the car to take you back?」
「Well, there’s still half a hour before the appointed time」
But why do we have to meet up here.
If you have something to say you don't have to come up to such a high place right? (TN: Its tradition I tell you! tradition!)
Climbing stairs is tiring, especially so for this body.
「Uhmm, Kanade Sai!」
「Here!」
Nakamura called my full name with a slight tremble in his voice.
I have a peculiar feeling
「Li…..」 (TN: It should be す which is Su as in Sukina so… Li?)
Li?
「I like you, would you be my girlfriend!」
……
「waitwaitwaitwait——」
My mind was instantly in a bit of a mess, no, it’s not longer just ‘a bit’
For me, Nakamura is just a high school boy who you would chat or play games with.
The feeling now is as if your best bro suddenly confessed to you.
I took a deep breath
「Hufff————」
Right now I’m a high school girl, only now do I truly understood what it means.
I calmly considered the situation.
「Turns out it really was too rushed…can I ask why?」 (TN: Idk CAN you?)
「It’s not because of Nakamura, it’s more my fault than yours」
No matter is it for “me” or for “Kanade Sai” it’s the same.
「Really. Well, I’m not going to give up though~」
……I’ll cheer for you
「The time’s almost up, I’m still going to look for you to play! Also, if you have any problems just call me! I’ll go first!」
As if there wasn’t much time left, he ran towards the stairs.
Bang!
It seems like because he turned around to wave at me, he tripped when going past the metal door.
「Oi——」
Quickly recovering, he smiled as if nothing had happened and ran down the stairs.
「Pfff hahaha」
Nakamura’s personality reminds me of my previous roommate in university.
I have to admit, if I was a regular girl, I might have agreed to his confession.
Unfortunately I’m not a regular girl.
A warm breeze passed through the roof.
Time to go home.
There’s still no one at home.
There was not traces of the man coming back, he had already disappeared for two days.
Did he die somewhere in a ditch.
Even though he is human trash, if he disappeared like that I would be troubled also.
I won’t have much money in my wallet for living expenses soon.
If he doesn't come back tonight let’s call the police.
But then again, what is sector 11’s police number.
Tonight was the same as always, cooking, eating and then watching some TV.
About homework and stuff was finished in 20 minutes.
It’s already 9pm.
The TV was currently airing an anime.
Even though things like word play or memes were explained to me by the translating system, but if the joke was completely explained then what was there to laugh about….
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of someone banging against the door came from the hallway —— this strength could be compared to a hammer
I recalled the delinquents I saw a few days ago.
I dragged a char from the dining room and walked towards the front door.
Standing on the chair, I looked through the peephole.
It’s that man.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I opened the door
A strong smell alcohol welcomed me as I opened the door. This guy, did he go out drinking again.
No, unfortunately it doesn't seem like that was the only thing he did.
His t-shirt was full of bloodstains and his face had traces of cuts and bruises
「Fuck! To think Inoue was able to find me」
He locked the door as he came in, swearing loudly.
I followed him into the living room and attempted to ask about the situation
「Pa, What happened?」
「Can’t you fucking see, your father got in a fight!」(TN:Your father actually also used to refer to themselves similar to ore)
This question of mine seems to have been the trigger to make his anger flare up again——or should I say, he had waited for me to do it.
He grabbed my by the neck and lifted me up
My whole weight was forced onto my neck, causing me to lose the ability to breathe
「Ke, wh..why」
I couldn’t even speak a full sentence.
If the previous times were considered me triggering him, then this time he specifically came back to beat me.
He then threw me down onto the floor
It hurts.
「You still dare ask why? Fuck! If it weren’t for you two bitches..how would I be like this right now!」
「Don’t try to act with that dumb face of yours! That cunt…waited for me to go out and then took all my money and ran!」
He’s talking about Kanade’s mother I think.
「I already told her that I’ll earn the money back at the next round, she never listened」
Next round?
Ah, I understand now. This guy is a gambler.
The wife couldn’t handle it and left, the husband has a heavy debt and is often beaten up by the debt collectors.
The story should go something like this.
He really is trash scum.
「You should have money on you right?」
「What？」
「I heard the neighbours talk. That bitch came back a few days ago, she must have given you plenty of money right? How else did you manage to pay for your school fees?」
So the note was left by her…
I impulsively felt disgusted by the man in front of me.
「You really are pitiful」
Accidentally I let out my true feelings
「……Ahahahaha, it seems like you’ve gotten much braver」
Not good.
The man revealed a crazed expression
Run.
He’s standing in front of the door, if I tried to leave I would be caught.
Let’s run back to my room, if I can make it there quick enough I can lock the door.
As these thoughts went through my head, I began to take action.
「Huh? running away?」
Running with all my strength back into my room, I locked the door.
Huff.
I have to call the police.
With this thought in mind I hurriedly took out my phone
Wait, what’s the phone number for the police
Without much time to think, a huge bang echoed through the room.
The door was kicked open.
I overestimated the sturdiness of a old apartment lock.
Except for father in the contact list there is only Nakamura.
Pressing down the dial button, I set the receiver volume to the minimum and threw the phone to the side.
I hope I can survive through tonight. (TN:Minecraft lol)
An: The main character being beaten is not going to be written (Tn: I feel like plenty has already been written…)
Of course, if the readers want to I can write it at the beginning of next chapter
I’m actually quite good at writing these stuff (: smile)
