Mostly, it's paper recyclables. I should've done this earlier. -5 I bought a water filter, so I'm not throwing away as many plastic bottles. —05 -1 It's a step towards people no longer being able to call me the owner of a trash heap, I guess. sfx- Chirp Chirp -4 Steam Psssh -5 The rice I left in the rice cooker went bad so I just tossed the whole thing. But since you can cook rice in a pot, I guess it’s fine. —06 -1 Add a little pre packed green onion, and some nattou… sfx- Toss Add some miso to water, throw a little chopped Wakame in, and microwave it for quick and dirty miso soup… ###this is all one of the cheapest breakfasts you can make. -2 Dug out the tray from somewhere -3 Yummy. -4 I guess I’m now able to live some sort of life now. —07 -1 If only I could work. -2 Kaw Kaw -4 Nonko, I’m here! —08 -1 I bought some Japanese sweets… Yeah… Sorry to worry you, Ta-chan… -2 Yeah.

I didn’t know you came over. You seemed like you were having fun chatting, so I didn't want to interrupt. Were you talking with my dad? -2 Yeah… He’s worried about me not working. -3 He said he’d introduce me to some people. -4 It’s fine to ignore all that. You’re still recovering, after all. —11 -1 You’re not bothering anyone, so why not keep doing what you’re doing. -3 But… But I’m totally bothering you, Mio. -4 You’ve seen me at my lowest. Over and over again. -5 And I’ve been unemployed for who knows how long know. hw- Thank for bring snacks. hw- No worries.

More than enough time to use up the excuse that I’m “recovering”. -3 And yet I’m still not working. I’m just letting other people take care of me. -4 I mean, you need money to live. -5 I’ve got to work. Everyone’s fed up with me. —15 -2 I’m using up Mio’s good will. -3 Kaw Kaw -4 Nonko, I’m here. —16 -2 What’s wrong? Not feeling well? Yeah.

Everyone I saw was working hard. -3 You’re working hard at your job at the cafe, right Mio? ###ignore the handwritten part, it’s included above That’s right. -4 Everyone’s gotta have bad days and crappy things happen to them. But they still all manage to go to work. But even so… —20 -1 I just keep running away. I’m so ashamed of myself. -3 I’m making my brother-in-law worry about me with the job stuff. So I thought I should get work and went to a job board. It kinda made me throw up. -4 I’ve just been wasting time this last year and a half. I’m scared to go to work. I’m just pathetic. —21 -1 And if I’m this pathetic… then eventually… -3 What? -4 It’s nothing. —22 -2 Is this where your stomach hurts? -3 No! Stop that! If you tell me everything, I will. -4 …Nn. Ah… so you want me to continue? Got it. —23 -2 And if I’m this pathetic… I’m afraid… -3 That you’ll think I’m worthless and leave me. That makes me scared… So… Even if I have to force myself, I have to work… —24 -1 It’s not like I’m going to think you’re worthless after all this time… hw- I mean, I was there during your trash heap days… You say that now… -2 But once you become a college student… You’re going meet all sorts of cool people. -3 And then you’ll have no time… for someone like me. -4 I have to get back on my feet before that happens. —25 -1 Heh heh… sfx- Squeeze -2 What? -3 You’ve started to depend on me. That makes me happy. -4 You always go to gloomy places. …Nn Mio… —26 -1 I told you, so we’re all done now! sfx- Whoosh sfx- Tsk -3 How much are your monthly living expenses? -4 I don’t know…. I haven’t had the courage to run the numbers. I have collected the receipts, though. -5 Stuffed! —27 -1 Ugh, I’m already done with this. hw- Well, me too To start with, just find this month’s receipts. and then put them over there. -2 I don’t even know how to go about improving myself. -3 Slap Slap -4 Time to take a hard look at things! Just what am I buying and how much am I spending? —28 -1 sfx- Wiped… Time to announce the results! hw- I used a budgeting app! -2 sfx- Th-thump Th-thump So Nonko, your monthly expenses are… -3 You have your own place, so rent is zero. Food: 20,000 yen. Utilities: 10,000 yen. Internet: 6000 yen. Misc: 10,000 yen. sfx- Fret Fret -4 And we include National Health Insurance, of course. So about 70,000 yen, all told. Is that a lot? or a little? The average for one person is 150,000 yen, so it’s on the cheap side. —29 -1 I’ve been shut in, so I haven’t bought clothes. I don’t have friends, so I don’t go out… But the biggest surprise of all is… -2 Your inheritance from your parents is 10,000,000 yen. -3 Ah… From the life insurance. Since my big sister died first, almost all of it went to me. If you pad it out a little and live on 80,000 a month, you could stay afloat for eight years. -4 Eight years… —30 -1 Mom… Dad… Don’t feel bad for using this money. -2 I just thought that. -3 Your parents would be way more happy with you using the money than if you collapse again. -4 I don’t have to work for eight years… Until I’m thirty four? That’s kinda soon. But… —31 -1 Eight years is a long time to do nothing. That’s boring. I bet I could find something to do. -4 Sigh… That’s a relief… It’s not everyday you can go without work for eight years. So you might as well enjoy it. —32 -1 You have a point! sfx- Ahaha -2 And… -3 When I go to college, I’m going to live here. -4 I’ll pay rent. I keep saying you don’t need to. -5 Mm-nn. If I do… Then you become even more dependent on me, right? —33 -1 In eight years, I’ll be twenty five. It’ll be easy to keep you as my trophy wife. -2 I’ve got to get a job so my brother-in-law’s kid doesn’t get corrupted…! sfx- Yargh Nonko, just stay the same. -3 Become someone who needs me to live. —34 -1 Just… always be with me… —35 -1 Doing that thing, with that girl by. 2 Seperate Volume Edition Nonko and Mio Nanatsu Mori/2022.3.1
