[Free Talk: Thanks for waiting ^^ By the way, there is no chapter 53 this month. There is only this side chapter.]
After Yu finished taking a bath, Mina comes in and asks her, “How far have you gone with Kurosaki-kun?” Puzzled and aghast, Yu says that they have not gone anywhere lately but she won’t let them [Mina and Kuro] be all alone together. Aghast Mina says that she is asking if they DID it already.
Blushing red, tense Yu asks what is she saying... Cornering her to the wall, Mina insists for Yu to tell her quickly. Thinking that Kpapa has already warned her earlier that they aren’t allowed to go beyond kisses, Yu tells Mina that they are still high schoolers...how can they possibly do that kind of thing.
Mina says, what? Staring at Yu’s toweled body, Mina says so that means, they still don’t have physical intimacy but then, he isn’t the type of guy who’ll look at appearances.
Blushing Yu timidly says that occasionally, she gets kissed...and she is already quite satisfied and lately, he has been sticking closer...so regarding that kind of thing, they’ll discuss that later on...
Mina asks, “Could it be that you don’t want to see his naked body? *holding Yu’s shoulder* That is the body of the person you like. I definitely would want to see it. I want to touch him as much as I want, and even want to do a lot of ...”
She lightly pinches Yu’s breast which causes Yu to scream in surprise. Turning to leave, Mina says that YU doesn’t even have a bit of femininity. “You’re basically still a child.” Outside the public bath, blushing Yu mutters that Mina also went over the top... This made Mizuno ask if the water is really so hot.
Then, Yu sees Haruto carrying semi-unconscious Yusuke and tells him to wake up. Yu asks what had happened. Haruto explains that Yusuke got dizzy after taking a bath too long. “We were having a contest as to who can stay in the bath the longest.” <- Haruto is the champion while Yusuke won third place.
Yu comments that they had a soak today... She suggests that he bring Yusuke to the balcony where the wind is blowing. “I’ll go and get some cold drinks.” While lying down the bench, Yusuke is muttering in his sleep. “...Tarako... chan... thank you... love forever...”
Yu puts the cold drinks on the table and says that Yusuke is really a risk-taker, always mumbling about his love for Tarako... Haruto comments that Yusuke’s willpower had become a lot stronger than before. He suddenly lays down on the other bench.
Yu asks if he is also dizzy from soaking. She suggests that he drinks plenty of water. Haruto looks at her and says, yes. This made Yu blush. Pulling down his collar, Haruto says that it’s so hot. He pulls his shirt up a bit.
Staring at Haruto’s belly, she thinks that he’s so...so sexy!! Recalling Mina asking her if she doesn’t want to see Haruto’s body, Yu thinks that of course, she really wants to see it.
“Want to touch him as much as I want. ...from the time since we made up [after the quarrel], I started to want to take the initiative to touch him. Aren’t I such a pervert? *puts down the glass on the table* I’m no longer reserved anymore... even if I’m embarrassed, but... doing this kind of thing should be alright...”
Yu touches Haruto’s belly. Haruto stiffens a bit. Yu thinks that his abdominal muscle is so firm... The same goes with his arm...totally not the same as mine. I want to touch him even more...”
As she pulls his shirt up, Haruto asks her if she plans on stripping him naked. Yu blushes really red when she realizes that Haruto’s chest is already exposed. Quickly drinking from a glass, she says that on a whim, she simply wanted to understand him for a while...
He tells her that glass on her hand is his. Shocked by that, Yu quickly grabs another glass and tells him to drink from her glass. “I haven’t drink from it yet!” Haruto smiles and says that it is fine, give that glass to him. She tells him that there’s only ice cubes inside, how can he drink it...
He says that he’ll think of a way. Narrowing her eyes, Yu thinks that he basically wants things to be difficult for her. “The black devil has resurfaced.” Haruto tells her to quickly hand it over, stupid. “...what are you doing?”
Yu exclaims that she is going to make the ice melt using the warmth of her hands! He says that she’s dillydallying. Yusuke has started to wake up. Sweatdropping Yu exclaims that she already told him to drink from her glass because there are only ice cubes left in this one!
Yu decides to eat the ice cubes. Haruto sits up and turns her face towards his. He grabs the ice cube on her mouth using his teeth. Yu looks at him in surprise as some water drips from his lips. He licks his lips and says, “Really delicious, give me some more.”
Yu is totally shocked about doing that mouth to mouth!? She turns to the side and thinks that compared to a kiss, that is more embarrassing! Holding the glass to him, she tells him to go get it by himself... And, she goes into shock-blush again since Haruto has started to pull her shirt up.
Trying to stop him from pulling it up, Yu exclaims, “Kuro...saki-kun!? What are you doing...” He tells her that he is also on a whim. Blushing really red, she asks where he is putting his hand... They were interrupted when Takumi knocks on the door and says, okay, stop for a while. “The first year students won’t dare go in the balcony.”
The couple sees the blushing girls behind smiling Takumi. While one of them is nose bleeding, they apologize for interrupting and quickly left. Yu holds her head and is totally embarrassed by that. Joining them at the balcony, Takumi says that uncle [Kpapa] had asked him to watch over the two of them.
Covering his eyes, blushing Yusuke exclaims that if they want to do something, he’ll cover his eyes! “I support you guys! Continue on!” Yu exclaims since when is he awake.
Pushing Yusuke’s face, Takumi says, stupid Kaji. “Yu-chan, did you send Kuro’s video to uncle?” Yu exclaims Kurosaki’s father! “I already forgot!” After saying that he’ll take this drink, Takumi tells him that it is okay to video whatever she wants of Haruto but it would be better to send it to him as soon as possible. “How about taking a video now?”
Perking up, Yu says, “Okay, since you guys are also here...” Haruto suddenly bites the back of her neck. This surprises Yu. Yusuke goes 😱 while Takumi looks in surprise-sweatdrop.
Yu calls out to Haruto that Takumi and the others are still here, hey... Haruto licks her neck. Yu has had enough as she viciously pushes him away and shouts, “—Black devil, you idiot!! *quickly leaving* ...good night to the two of you!”
Yusuke waves at her as Takumi greets her good night. Puzzled Haruto says that it is still too early to sleep. Then, he suddenly lays down on the bench. Takumi says that in the end, Haruto is still dizzy from soaking in the bath. Yusuke is freaking out that Haruto would unexpectedly!!
Narration: “—Kurosaki papa, about the video, please be a little bit patient.” In the bath, Yu is showering in very cold water. She exclaims, “How come I would suddenly run away from him, I’m really useless!”
Amused Mina thinks that it seems that someone did something to her. Narration: “Having a confrontation with the devil, I still have to train, train some more...”
At school, ponytails first year girl tells Hino that afterwards, Haruto and Yu would go lovey-dovey at the balcony... Haruto darkly thinks that it is just some nonsense information. The school bell rings. Hino looks at Haruto’s rugged form with a bat when he was protecting the sakura tree in his house.
With sparkles, Hino gushes that in the end, Haruto during that time...is the coolest. His two minions arrive and say that he’s here. “We heard that you were absent during PE class... Are you not...feeling well again?” After looking at them, Hino glances away and tells them not to mind him.
Beard guy says that he is very worried about Hino and is there something they can help him with. While eating his lollipop, Hino tells them that continuing to stay in the dorm is enough. “It’s terrible not being able to constantly keep watch of Kurosaki Haruto’s movements.”
Beard guy says that he thinks that Haruto is really not the same as before. Glasses guy says that he thinks that right now, Haruto is better in getting along... Hino kicks the wall and says how is that possible. “Kurosaki Haruto is obviously a proud and aloof person...
...He is unrivalled; he can use his overwhelming strong strength to destroy people who’ll go near him. –but, this kind of person is currently surrounded by friends, and is even in love with a girl *holds his cellphone tightly with Haruto’s picture* How can I possibly accept that! I went to the same high school as he does, simply because I want to see him being like that again!”
Glasses tells beard that by the way, he thought of it before... Beard guy says that it is the same with him. “Hino-kun, he... is really Kurosaki Haruto’s avid fan... It is just that this kind of like [/love] is a bit twisted...” Hino curses and thinks that Yu and Yusuke are hindrances.
Back in the dorm, Yusuke holds a camera-shaped book. Yu asks if it is a photo album. Yusuke says that these are pictures of Kurosaki in the room and he basically planned to give them to Hino. “After that time... even if Kurosaki-kun didn’t say anything but I’m truly very sorry!”
Yu says that it is because he was also threatened... Yusuke protests that he still feels very apologetic! “These are stolen shots [of Haruto] which I took before.” Yu sees a picture of Haruto who had just taken a bath.
Then, there are pictures of Haruto sleeping, Haruto taking off his shirt, Haruto dressing up with Takumi, laughing with Takumi and Haruto drinking a bottled beverage. Yu blushes over this. She couldn't believe that there are so many precious pictures!!
With a pointed nose, Yusuke says that he spent a lot of time selecting the more meaningful pictures♡“There are actually a lot of pictures taken this year... I took a lot especially when the dorm is being renovated.”
Irked Haruto grabs the album and says that it is confiscated. Yu says how can that be... Then, she exclaims in surprise upon seeing their Vday picture. She points this out to Haruto.
Yusuke says that he used his cellphone to take a picture of it and he had it copied... Haruto looks surprised as he blushes a little bit... Yu exclaims that Yusuke is so amazing! “Thank you!!”
Takumi comes in. He is on the phone while holding Kpapa’s tablet. Kpapa tells Takumi to let him talk with that girl on the phone. “She still haven’t done something she agreed to do during the sports festival.”
Takumi sweatdrops since Yu still hasn’t done it. Takumi tells Kpapa that right now, he’ll film for him Haruto’s daily life in the dorm. The last scene is Haruto holding the album while Yu tells him that is obviously given to her. Mina is also there along with Yusuke and the others.
Comment: And, they got the ‘photo’ back. That is quick thinking on Yusuke’s part. As for Mina, I think in the end, she’ll be part of the group. Even if she is the rival, her role seems to be that of helping Yu get closer to Haruto by ‘acting more like a girlfriend/be more feminine’.
That scene between the couple is cute, sexy and funny. Yu’s expression when she was suddenly bitten on the neck is quite amusing. Apparently, she cannot handle that kind of public display of affection yet.
As for Hino, it is confirmed that he is an avid fan of the old Haruto and would do everything he can to destroy what he perceives as the reason for the old Haruto to disappear. From what his minions mentioned, Hino is sickly. Maybe he was bullied before and somehow projects Haruto as the ‘loner hero’ who’ll beat up those scums.
Because of his condition, no wonder he tends to use other people to do his bidding. It seems that these two minions actually care about him compared to the others before who were coerced to do his bidding. Somehow, I can imagine that they will be appreciated by Hino later on.
On a side note, I guess Takumi tagged along during the festival to prevent any over the top lovey-dovey between the two? Well, perhaps, he’ll also act as bodyguard against any potential trouble including Mina. =P Scans by 腾讯动漫
