誰?
Who's that?
メイコちゃんの友だち？
Friend of yours, Meiko-chan?

If she is, we should drink together!

友だちじゃないよ
She's not my friend.

ごめん茗子
Sorry, Meiko.
今日ちょっと用があるから送っていけなくて…
I've got some stuff today, so I can't see you home...
ひとりで帰れる？
Can you get back on your own?
うん 大丈夫だよ礼央さん
Yeah. I'm fine, Reo-san.

Okay, lock the doors tight.
おやすみ
Good night.
礼央さんは必ず私をドアの前まで送る
Reo-san is sure to see me to the doorstep
まるでそうしないと また忌わしいことが起こると信じるみたいに
Just as though she believes that if she doesn't, some abominable thing will happen again
ダメ！
No!
帰らないで寄ってって！
Don't leave! Stay here!

ふあ…

安東さんすごいあくび
That's quite a yawn, Andou-san.
[17/147 (17.png)]
徹夜でレポートですか？
Did you pull an all-nighter for the report?
あ やば
Oh, crap.
レポートまだ終わってない…
My report still isn't finished...
ええ⁉
What‽
あの先生 そういうの厳しい…大丈夫ですか？
That teacher is pretty strict about these things... Will you be okay?
まずったなー…
Boy, did I blow it...
ゆうべ連れが帰してくれなくてさ…
Last night, my companion just wouldn't let me go home...
そ その…
Um— That is...
恋人は自由ですけど…っ
You're free to live a love life, but...
安東さんはもう少し彼氏を選んだほうがいいと思います！
I think you shouldn't be choosing a boyfriend just yet!
へ？
Huh?
[18/147 (18.png)]
院試前の大事な時期でしょう？
The time before your quals is important, right?
そんなときに成績落とすようなこと…
If your grades drop off...
ち 違う違う！！
N— No, it's not like that!!
友だちってか…
She's like, a friend...
後輩の…女の子だよ！
A kouhai... A girl!
は？
What?
友だち？
A friend?
友だちと遊んでてレポート終わんなかったんですか？
You were hanging out with a friend, and your report wasn't finished?
いや…
No...
遊んでっていうか…
Saying "hanging out" would be...
…まあ…
...Well...
ひとから見ればそうか…
I guess that's how it would come off...
でも そっか
But
Gee
私今まで彼氏いると思われたんだね
You were thinking I had a boyfriend, huh?
そ そりゃ…
Th— That's...
『連れ』とか言われたらフツーはそう思いますよ
If you hear "companion," that's what you normally think!
[19/147 (19.png)]
高瀬さんは？彼氏いないの？
How 'bout you, Takase-san? Don't you have a boyfriend?
こんなメガネ黒髪の固そうな女がモテるわけないでしょう？
No way would a stuffy-looking girl with black hair and glasses win any hearts, would she?
そうかな
I wonder?
高瀬さんけっこう美人だと思うよ
I think you're plenty beautiful, Takase-san.
ホラ

子どもの頃痴漢にあってそれで…
I had a run-in with a molester when I was a kid, so...
いい年して変ですよね…
It's weird, at this age...
変じゃないよ 人に色々事情があるもん
It's not weird. All sorts of things happen to people.
そういう子…もうひとり知ってる
I know...another girl like that.
[21/147 (21.png)]
礼央さん
Reo-san.
茗子！
Meiko!
買い物つき合ってほしいの
I want you to take me shopping.
授業サボって帰ろう？
Let's ditch class and head out, okay?
[22/147 (22.png)]
あ うん…
Uh, sure...
わかった
Got it.
え ちょって…
Huh? Wait...
授業…

See you.
ゴメン 高瀬さん お先にー
Sorry, Takase-san. Go on ahead.

なに言ってんの そんなわけないでしょ
What are you talking about? Why would she be?
そうかなー
I gotta wonder...!
礼央さん女のくせに無駄にイケメンだもん
You're handsomer than a girl has any right to be.
ねえ キスしよ
Hey, let's kiss.
[24/147 (24.png)]
え ここで？
Huh? Here?
だって 高瀬さんいる…
But Takase-san is there...
うん
Yeah.
あの人に見せたいの
I want to show her.

So listen.
いいかげんにしてくれない？
Can you cut it out?
マジ うざいんだけど
It's totally annoying, you know.
ご…
I...
ごめんなさい…
I'm sorry...
[29/147 (29.png)]
でも…そんなつもりはなくて…
But... I didn't mean to...
うわ
Gosh!
そんなつもりはないとか（笑）
Like, she didn't mean to! Ha ha!
よく言うよ めっちゃ色目使ってたじゃん
They always say that. But like, you've totally been making bug eyes.

はい

え？
Huh?
ハンカチのほうがいいんだろうけど持ってなくて
A handkerchief would be better, but I don't have one on me.
(sfx) くす

なんでかな
I wonder why
私 女の子に好かれないんです
I don't get along with girls.
[32/147 (32.png)]
そりゃこんだけ可愛けりゃ…
Hell, if you're cute as all that...
嫉妬もされるわ
They'll be jealous, even
だから 嬉しかったです
That's why I was glad.
女の人にかばってもらうとかあんまりなかったから…
It hasn't been often that a girl would cover for me...
友だち全然いないし
I don't have any friends, even.
よし
Alrighty
じゃ 友だちになろう！
Then we'll be friends!
ふえ⁉
Fwah‽
[33/147 (33.png)]
え？
Huh?
えっ？
Hunh?
でもっ
But
私と友だちとか迷惑かけます…っ
It'll be bothersome to be friends with me...
そんなことないよ
Naw, it won't!
あ
Oh
友だちに年齢は関係ないからタメ語でいいよ
Age doesn't matter among friends, so no need to watch your language.

Wasn't it to flirt with the boys?

ごめん 私の注意が行き届かなかったから…
I'm sorry. All because my warning didn't go through...
そんな…
Not at all...
たまたま足がひかかっただけよ
Our legs just happened to get caught, that's all.
でも…
But...
それじゃ不便だよね
That's gonna be inconvenient.
治るまでの間は家まで送るよ
I'll see you home while it's healing.
[37/147 (37.png)]
礼央さんに送ってもらえるならずっとケガしてたいな
If I get to have you see me home, Reo-san, I want to be injured forever.
そういう可愛いことは将来の彼氏に言ってあげなよ～
Say the cute lines like that to the boyfriend you'll be getting soon.
ういやつ～
You gloomy goober!
え
What?
彼氏とかいらないもん！
I don't need a boyfriend!
ずっと礼央さんと一緒にがいい！
All I ever need is to be together with you, Reo-san!

もうやめなよ
Stop it, already.
そういう人の心を弄ぶようのことはさ…
You know, toying with the hearts of guys like him...
礼央さんは私に説教できる立場じゃないでしょ
Reo-san, I don't think you can lecture me in your position.
奴隷なんだから
You're a slave.
茗子のためになるならいくらでも奴隷になるよ
Meiko, if it's in your best interest, I'll be any kind of slave.
でも…
But...
[40/147 (40.png)]
私がしてることって茗子のためになってるのかな…
Is what I'm doing really in your best interest...?
礼央さんの考えなんてどうでもいいよ
It doesn't matter what you think, Reo-san.
…あの日
...That day
ケガしてた私を送っていかなかったから…
Because you didn't see me home when I was injured...
だからあんなことが起きたって責任感じてるんでしょ
You feel responsible for what happened, don't you?

だったら大人しく私の奴隷になってればいいの
If you do, then you can obediently be my slave.

Don't make me lose interest.

Huh?
植田先輩っていい人だよね
Isn't Ueda-senpai a nice guy?
(arrow) 男子テニ部長
Boys' tennis club captain
なに？ 茗子
What? Meiko
植田が気になるって？
Does this mean you're interested in Ueda?
ちがうよっ
It does not!
男の子はみんな親切にしてくれるけど「親切な俺を見ろ！」っていわれてるみたいで
All the boys are nice to me, but it's like they're telling me, "Look at me! I'm so nice!"
自意識過剰っぽくてあんまり素直に感謝できない
They're sort of excessively self-conscious, and I can't honestly be grateful.
でも植田先輩だけはナチュラルに親切なんだ
But Ueda-senpai is the only one who's nice naturally.
[44/147 (44.png)]
めずらしい…茗子が男子を褒めるなんて…
That's unusual...Meiko is complimenting a boy...
やっぱ植田のこと好きなのかな
Maybe she does like Ueda.
否定してるけど
Though she's denying it
は？
What?
だから…
So...
俺とつき合ってほしいんだけど…
I want you to go out with me...
ま…
Wa...
待って…
Wait...
なんで私…
Why am I...?
返事
Your response
今すぐじゃなくていいから
Doesn't have to be right now.
[45/147 (45.png)]
その植田に告白されて
That same Ueda confessed to me
あの日の放課後に返事をすることになってた
I ended up giving my response on that of all days
(phone) From:植田
From: Ueda
(phone) 今日の放課後 部室の裏で
Today after school behind the clubroom
ごめん茗子
Sorry, Meiko
今日ちょっと用があるから送っていけなくて…
I've got some stuff today, so I can't see you home...
ひとりで帰れる？
Can you get back on your own?
うん 大丈夫だよ礼央さん
Yeah. I'm fine, Reo-san.
じゃまた明日
So, see you tomorrow!
[46/147 (46.png)]
男の子に好かれたことなんてなかったから舞い上
A boy had never liked me before, so I was walking on air
しかも
What's more
あの可愛い茗子より自分を好きになってくれたことが嬉しくて
I was happy that he liked me better than the adorable Meiko
だから茗子ご彼を好きかもしれないのに
So even though Meiko might have liked him
私は返事を迷っていた
I was torn about my response
そして
And so
それが後ろめたくて茗子にはなにも言ってなかった
Guiltily, I said nothing to Meiko
[47/147 (47.png)]
その日にあの事件が起きたんだ
That's the day it happened
あの…
Excuse me...
ちょっといいですか？
Could I have a minute?
…なに？
...What?
[48/147 (48.png)]
…あなた
...Are you
安東さんの…
And Andou-san...
安東礼央さんの恋人なの？
And Andou Reo-san a couple?
[49/147 (49.png)]
男の人が苦手だった
I wasn't very good with men
子どものころ痴漢にあったせい 人にはそう説明していて
I had a run-in with a molester when I was a kid
That's the explanation I gave people
それも嘘じゃないけれど
And while that's not a lie
第三話
Chapter three
[50/147 (50.png)]
きっと それがなくても男なんて好きじゃなかった
I'm sure that even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have liked men
あなたは… 安東さんの恋人？
Are you... a couple with Andou-san?
なにそれ
What the hell?
なんであんたにそんなこと言わなきゃいけないの？
Why do I have to tell you that?
……まあ…
...Well...
恋人でも親友でもいいですけど…
A couple, or best friends, it doesn't matter...
[51/147 (51.png)]
近しい間柄ならちょっとは安東さんのこと考えてあげたらどうです？
If your relationship is close, perhaps you could have some consideration for her?
安東さんは院試を控えてるんですよ
Andou-san is in preparation for her quals.
今 成績落とすわけにはいかないんです
She can't allow her grades to fall right now.
別に安東さんじゃなくてもそうやってチヤホヤしてくれる男の人いっぱいいるんじゃない
And even if it's not Andou-san per se, don't you still have plenty of boys who will make ado over you?
院試ってなに？
What's "quals?"
え…
Ah...
安東さん大学院に進学したいって
Andou-san wants to proceed to graduate school.
知らないんですか？
Don't you know?
[52/147 (52.png)]
知らなかったけど…
I didn't know, but...
そもそも私たちの間に「礼央さんがどうしたいか」なんてことは関係ないの
Between Reo-san and me, it doesn't matter what she wants to do in the first place.
彼女は私の奴隷で
She's my slave
私の言うことを聞くだけの存在だから
And exists only to do what I say.
は？
What?
[53/147 (53.png)]
奴隷って…それどういう…
"Slave"...? What do you...
あんたに説明する必要ない
I don't need to explain to you.
じゃあね
Later.
…なにそれ
...What the hell
奴隷ってどういうこと？
What does she mean, "slave?"
なんで安東さんはあんな子の言いなりになってるの…⁉
Why is Andou-san going along with what that girl says...‽
[54/147 (54.png)]
大学のとある授業で知り合った安東さんは
The Andou-san I met in a particular university class
誰にでもやさしくてさばさばしてて
Was friendly and candid with everyone
他の子みたいに誰かの悪口言ったり男子に媚びたりしなくて
Unlike other kids, she never badmouthed anyone, or flirted with boys
だから憧れた
So I idolized her
完璧な人だと思ってた
I thought she was perfect
勉強会？
A study session?
うん
Yeah.
斎藤さんちで
At Saitou-san's place.
先輩から過去問もらったからさ
'Cause, we got some past problems from a senpai.
皆でやったほうが気合入るし！
And you give it more fighting spirit when you do it as a group!

彼女の普通じゃない部分
I'm getting the feeling I've brushed against
深淵みたいなものに触れてしまったきがしている
A part of her that's not normal
A thing like a deep abyss
ごめん私やっぱ不参加
Sorry, I won't be participating after all.
急用できちゃって…
Something just came up...
えー そうなの？
Man, it did?
残念ー
That blows.
じゃ
See you.
ホントにごめんね！
I'm sorry, really!
[56/147 (56.png)]
安東さんってさー
That Andou-san.
いい人だけどなにげにつき合い悪いよね
She's a good person, but she doesn't know what company to keep.
あれは束縛したがる男とつき合ってると見た
That looked to me like dating a boy that wants to keep her on a leash.
うわ 気にるー
Gosh, now I'm curious!
…ごめん
...Sorry
ちょっと私も抜ける！
I'll duck out for a second, as well!
安東さん！

皆で勉強会行くんじゃないの？
Weren't you going to the study session with everyone?
さっきの電話…

[57/147 (57.png)]
急用ってあの娘ですか？
Was the "something" that came up that girl?
え？
Huh?
こないだの…
From the other day...
その…
That is...
安東さんがキスしてた娘
The girl you were kissing.
勉強会抜けて行かなきゃいけないほどの大事の用事ですか？
Is it something so important you have to run out on the study session?
このあいだもあの娘と買い物行くからって授業サボりましたよね
Just the other day, you skipped class to go shopping with her, right?
[58/147 (58.png)]
院試前の大事な時期なのに…
Even though it's an important time before your quals...
なんであの娘の言いなりになってるんです？
Why are you going along with what that girl says?
言いなりになんて…
Going along with what she says, that's...
…あの娘
...She
安東さんのこと『奴隷』って言いました
Said you were a "slave."
茗子と話したの⁉
You talked to Meiko‽
う…
Uh...
はい…
Yes...
[59/147 (59.png)]
安東さんがあの娘につき合って授業とかレポートサボってるのが心配で…
Andou-san, I'm worried about your going out with that girl, skipping classes and reports...
その…
That is...
ごめんなさい
Forgive me.
余計なお世話なのはわかってるんですけど…
I know this is attention you didn't ask for...
そっか
I see.
ありがとう 心配かけちゃったんだね
Thanks. Went and made you worry, huh?
…でも
...But
[60/147 (60.png)]
このことは放っておいて
Leave this alone.
詳しくは言えないけど
I can't tell you the specifics, but
私むかし あの子にひどいことしちゃったんだ
I did something terrible to that girl, once.
だから今あの子のわがままを聞くのは償いなの

Don't I just get in your way now?
ちがうよ…!
That's not it...!
あのね
So, hey...
今まで黙っててごめん
I'm sorry for keeping quiet until now.
私 大学院に進学したいと思ってる
I'm thinking that I'd like to advance to graduate school.

それで
If you do
同じ目に遭ってもまだそんな勝手なことが言えるか試してみるといいよ
Then we can find out if you can look through those same eyes and still say these selfish things.

本当は
The truth is
[78/147 (78.png)]
指なんかじゃなくて
It wasn't my fingers I had in mind
男の人の身体になって彼女に性器を挿入したい
I wanted to take on a man's body and insert my genitals into her
あの男がしたようの乱暴なのじゃなくて
Not violently, like the man who raped me
ゆっくり礼央さんの身体を開いてやさしくしたい
I wanted to open Reo-san's body slowly and be gentle

責任を感じて泣き崩れる礼央さんを見て欲が出た

いつか礼央さんを失うんじゃないかって
"Won't I lose Reo-san some day?"
自分と違って友だちがたくさにて
Unlike me, she had lots of friends
彼氏もできるかもしれなくて
And she might get a boyfriend
その上ひとつ年上の礼央さんは先に高校を卒業してしまう
And on top of that, she was a year older, and would graduate high school before me
[87/147 (87.png)]
新しい世界に飛び込んで
Leaping into a new world
私のことなんてどうでもよくなってしまうんじゃないか
Won't I stop mattering to her?

ちょっと色々あって…
There's more to it than that...

もうしばらく部活休んだほうが…
A bit more time off from club...
誰のせいでこんなことになったと思ってるの…
Whose fault do you think it is things turned out this way...
[90/147 (90.png)]
礼央さんが送ってくれなかったからじゃん！
Isn't it because /you/ didn't see me home‽
私 足 ケガしてたのに…‼

ちがう
No
本当はわかってる
The truth is, I understand
礼央さんのせいじゃない
It's not Reo-san's fault
でも止められない
But I can't stop
どうしたらいい…?
What can I do...?
[91/147 (91.png)]
私にできることならなんでもするよ！
If I can do it, I'll do anything!
だから…
So please...
ふーん なんでもするんだ？
Oh? You'll do anything?
じゃあ これからずっと私の言うこと聞いてくれる？
Then, will you always do what I say from now on?
植田先輩からの告白断って
Refuse the confession from Ueda-senpai.
なんで知って…!
How did you...!
[92/147 (92.png)]
責任感じてるならそれぐらいできるよね？
If you feel responsible, you can do that much, right?
断って
Refuse
それでずっと私と一緒にいてよ
And be together with me forever.
そうして
And that
礼央さんは私の奴隷になった
Is how Reo-san became my slave
礼央さんはやさしかった
Reo-san was kind
壊れ物を扱うように私に接して それは私をひどくイライラさせた
She treated me like she was handling a broken object
That made me horribly irritated
大好きだったはずなのに
Even though I was supposed to love it
[93/147 (93.png)]
その人を独り占めできてるのに
Even though I'd gotten her all to myself
今日はレポートがあるから
I've got a report to do today
今日はダメだけど
So I can't do today
提出期限は明後日だから明後日の午後なら時間空けれるよ
But the submission deadline is the day after tomorrow, so I could make some time that afternoon.

Because I really don't know what she's going to do.

いつまでもこのままじゃいけないと思ったんだ
I didn't think things could stay this way.
[96/147 (96.png)]
高瀬さんのおかげだよ
It's thanks to you, Takase-san.
高瀬さんが本当にあの子のためを思うなら言いなりになるべきじゃないって言ってくれたから…
'Cause you told me that if I was really thinking of her best interests, I shouldn't go along with what she said...
そんな…
Well, that's...
それに
Also
思い出したんだ
I remembered something.
私が高2 あの子が高1のときに知り合って
We got to know each other in my second, her first year of high school
それですごくなついてくれたんだけど…
And she held me amazingly dear, but...
[97/147 (97.png)]
あの子が好きになってくれた私は

あんなに臆病で人の言いなりになるような私じゃない

But now that she's stopped
安東さんの目はやっぱりあの子に向いてて…
Sure enough, she still has eyes for that girl...
私のほうを見てくれるわくじゃない
No way would she spare a glance my way
[99/147 (99.png)]
なにしてるのあの子…
What is that girl doing...?
まさか安東さんが態度変えたからショックで飛び込むつもりじゃ…
Don't tell me she's so shocked that Andou-san changed her attitude that she means to jump...
いや そこまではしないよね？
No, she wouldn't go that far, would she?
でも…本当に死ぬ気はなくても
But... Even if she doesn't really want to die
安東さんの気を引くために自殺未遂ぐらいするかも…?
She might at least attempt suicide to get Andou-san's attention...

あの子は安東さんにくっついてこなくなった
That girl stopped clinging to Andou-san
話はしてるみたいだけど
It looked like they were speaking
前みたいに一緒にいようとしない

It's like the emotional highs and lows from when I was with Meiko were a lie...
ストレスは少なくてすむなー
I'm ending up without much stress, huh?

But
平坦すぎて
It's too flat
生きてるか死んでるかわからない気持ちになるけど
It's starting to feel like I don't know if I'm living or dying

茗子とつき合ってたんじゃないの？
The guy going out with Meiko?
つき合ってないですよ
We aren't going out.
俺は好きだったけど…
I did like her...
[120/147 (120.png)]
俺と一緒にいたのはきっと楽だったからじゃないですかね
But I'm sure she must have been with me because it was easy.

I was trying not to twist her arm and tell her to go out with me and stuff.

[121/147 (121.png)]
私が奴隷をやめる決心をして
I made up my mind to stop being a slave
そのせいで茗子は心を閉ざした
And because of it, Meiko closed her heart off
そのとき 私の心にも恐れが生まれた
At that time, a dread fear was born in my heart, as well:
『奴隷じゃないならいらない』と茗子に捨てられるんじゃないかって
"Won't Meiko think I'm useless and toss me aside if I'm not a slave?"
心を閉ざした茗子を追いかけることもなく
I didn't even chase after Meiko once she'd closed off her heart
『私と離れて彼氏でも作ったほうが…』なんて綺麗事で
I just glossed over it, "She's better off growing apart from me and finding a boyfriend"
恐がってる自分を守っていただけだったんだ
I was only protecting my terrified self
だから
So
あのタイミングで茗子から手を離したのは自分のためでもあった
Letting go of Meiko right then was in my own interest, too.
[122/147 (122.png)]
捨てられたと思ったのは茗子のほうだ
Meiko's the one who thought she was tossed aside

毎日この道を通って怪我してた茗子を家まで送った
Every day, I saw the injured Meiko home down this street
あの事件が起こる日までは…
Until the day it happened...
レオってライオンって意味よね
Reo means Leo, Lion, right?
高潔な感じがしてすっごく似合ってる
It's got a noble feel, and it suits you really well!

茗子と離れてからの日々は穏やかだったけどただ生きてただけ
The days since I separated from Meiko have been calm, but I've only been staying alive
無感動だった
They held no emotion
満開の桜を見てもなにも感じない
Even looking at the cherry trees in full bloom, I feel nothing
いつのまに
When was it
[125/147 (125.png)]
私はこんなふうになってしまったんだろうーー…
That I became like this...?

What do you mean...?
…私はあんな歪んだ方法でしか礼央さんに傍にいてもらえない
...Reo-san, I could be at your side only in that twisted way.
でも本当はわかってたんだよ
But the truth is, I understood.
[130/147 (130.png)]
礼央さんに人生の邪魔してるって…
That I was a drag on your life...
ごめん 茗子…!
I'm sorry, Meiko...!
そんなふうに思われちゃってたんだな…
So that's how you thought of it...
茗子をひとりにしたかったわけじゃないよ…!
Meiko, I wasn't trying to leave you by yourself...!
[131/147 (131.png)]
礼央さんはやさしいからそう言ってくれるけど…
You say that because you're kind...
いつか彼氏ができたりもっと仲のいい友だちができたりして礼央さんは私をひとりにするよ
But you would have eventually gotten a boyfriend, or made friends you were closer with, and left me by myself.
だからそうなる前に
So before you did
あの事件にかこつけて礼央さんを縛ってやろうって思ってたけど…
I thought I would use what happened as an excuse to chain you up, but...
やっぱりダメだね
It didn't work, did it?
そんな不自然な関係続かないや
An unnatural relationship like that just doesn't last.
[132/147 (132.png)]
礼央さんが好きよ
I love you, Reo-san.
[133/147 (133.png)]
私なんかの言いなりにならない
The Reo-san that doesn't go along with whatever I say
高潔で女のくせに無駄にイケメンな礼央さんが…
Noble and handsomer than a girl has any right to be...
今まで縛っちゃってごめんね
I'm sorry I've kept you in chains until now.
[134/147 (134.png)]
そうだよ
That's right.
私は茗子の言いなりになんかならない
I don't just go along with what you say, Meiko.
[135/147 (135.png)]
だからこの手も離さない
So I won't let go of this hand.
……っ
...
なんで そういうこというの…?
Why
Are you saying this...?
期待 させないで…
Don't get my hopes up...

この道…
This street...
なつかしいよね
Brings back memories, eh?
うん
Yeah.
私にとってはあの事件があった場所でもあるけど…
But for me, it's the place where it happened, as well...
ごめん…!
Sorry...!
いいよ
It's alright.
それより…
More importantly...
ひとつお願いがあるの
I have a request.
え？
Hm?
[139/147 (139.png)]
本当に
If you really
私と一緒にいてくれる気があるなら…
Feel like you want to be together with me...
(sfx) プチ プチ
snap snap
ここでしてほしい
I want to do it right here.
[140/147 (140.png)]
ちょ…っ
Hold—
誰か来たら…
If someone shows up...
(sfx) バサ
flap
大丈夫だよ
It's okay.
この道 ホントに人通りが少ないの その茂みに隠れちゃえば誰にでも気づかれない
Not many people come down this street. If we hide in that thicket, no one will notice us.
まあ だから犯罪が起こるんだろうけど…
Though that's probably why crimes take place...
あの日のことを上書きして
I want to overwrite what happened that day
私も礼央さんが初めてだって思いたい
And think of you as my first, too.
礼央さんが私に初めてをくれたみたいに
Like you gave me your first.
[141/147 (141.png)]
私も礼央さんに捧げたい
I want to dedicate myself to you, too, Reo-san.
…わかった
...I understand.
予感がする
I have a feeling
[142/147 (142.png)]
あの事件の前みたいに
We can never go back
無邪気な二人にはもう戻れない
To the innocent twosome we were before it happened
(sfx) ピク
spasm
きっと
I'm sure
一緒にいたらまた振りまわされて
Once we're together, I'll be jerked around again
感情が絡みあったりねじれたりして 自分を見失う
My emotions will get tangled and wrenched, and I'll lose sight of myself
[143/147 (143.png)]
でも
But
それでも離れられない
Even so, I can't back away
…礼央さん
...Reo-san
愛してる
I love you so much.
[144/147 (144.png)]
そう…
That's right...
知ってしまったらもう戻れない
Once you've found out, you can't go back.
私も愛してるよ
I love you, too
茗子

今回はまるっと書き下ろしということだったので自分の萌え要素を詰め込んでみました
This time, I wrote the whole thing from scratch, so I packed it full of my personal elements of moe
・ウェーブロング美少女
・Pretty girl with long, wavy hair
・ヤンデレ
・Yandere
・巨乳
・Big tits
・高身長イケメン少女
・Tall, handsome girl
・天然タラシ
・Unwitting ladykiller
・そしてドロドロの愛憎劇…!
・Thence, a soapy love-hate drama...!
ドレイになってよ
Be my slave.
私がレXプしてあげる
Here, I'll r*pe you.
はー 楽しかった！
Man, that was fun!
ドロドロ最高！
The soapier the better!
ヤンデレは至高！
The Yandere is supreme!
萌えを叩きつけることができて大満足です
I got to beat moe into it, and I'm thoroughly satisfied.
あとは少しでもいいから
Now, I don't mind if it's only slightly
(sfx) チラッ
glance
いるよね？ 1人ぐらいはいるよね？
There must be, right?
There must be at least one, right?
(arrow) 小心者

この萌えに賛同してくれるかたがいてくれたら嬉しいです
So I'd be happy if there's someone out there who approves of this moe
