Capítulo 3

1. "Ah... no..." 2. "Doing it in a place like this..." 3. "Mmm" 4. "...But..." 5. "I can't stop..."

1. "Takumi-san--!" 2. "Ah..." 3. "Aaaah...!!"

1. "Haa..." 2. "Haa" 3. "Ah..." 4. What... am I doing? 5. I...... 6. If I was going to end up doing something like this now... 7. "I asked Takumi Yoshida-san." 8. Back then... 9. I should have just said no.

1. "Ah" 2. "Welcome home, Shizuru." 3. "Oh, Rena-san." 4. "Are you heading to work now?" 5. "Yeah, I am..." 6. "...Say, did something happen?" 7. "Huh?" 8. "Well... just as I was leaving the house..." 9. "The landlord and Takumi Yoshida asked me if you were back yet, Shizuru..."

1. "Well, if anything happens, tell me, okay?" 2. "I'll be here to listen to your troubles..." 3. "...Shizuru-chan?" 4. "............" 5. "Shizuru-chan...?"

1. "Shizuru-chan..." 2. "Come on, Shizuru-chan." 3. "I can't understand you if you're crying." 4. "What happened?"

1. "Reina-san..." 2. "What should I do... I..." 3. "I've done something terrible..." 4. "Sorry to keep you waiting." 6. "How are you? Have you calmed down a bit?" 7. "Yes..."

1. "...I'm sorry. I even made you take time off work..." 2. "It's fine." 3. "Work is just dealing with drunk old men anyway." 4. "Shizuru-chan is much more important than that." 5. "...So, will you tell me what happened?" 6. "It's related to the landlords, isn't it?" 7. "...Yes..." 8. "Today... I called my parents' house." 9. "I think the thing with the landlords is probably... about that..." 10. "The rent... No way, Shizuru-chan..." 11. "I asked them to stop the rent transfers for two or three months..." 12. "Were you planning to participate in that stupid contest!?" 13. "Why!?"

1. "........." 2. "Because..." 3. "Because if I don't do that, someone like me..." 4. "Mizuho-san, Aoi-san, Hiroko-san..." 5. "The landlady too, and of course Rena-san..." 6. "Takumi-san won't see me as a woman..." 7. Everyone at Ajisai-sou... they're all so beautiful and mature. 8. "And yet, I'm the only one who's still just a child..."

1. "So..." 2. "So, I..." 3. "...Well," 4. "I knew Shizuru-chan liked Takumi Yoshida, but..." 5. "I never imagined it was that much." 6. "Eh?" 7. "Reina-san, how did you...!?" 8. "...It's obvious if you just look." 9. "But you know, Shizuru-chan," 10. "What is it about that idiot that you like?"

1. "It's not like he's even that good-looking." 2. "And besides, isn't he currently unemployed and living like a parasite off his landlady?" 3. "Actually, even this match..." 4. "Maybe he got tired of dealing with older women and used collecting rent as an excuse to fool around with a younger girl?" 6. "...That's not right..." 7. "Takumi-san isn't... the kind of person who would think like that." 8. "Even about that match... there must definitely be some reason for it..." 9. "Shizuru-chan..."

1. "...Fine. If Shizuru-chan is going that far, I'll test Takumi myself." 2. "Eh..." 3. "And so..." 4. "Unpaid rent: 614,000 yen." 5. "I've brought the full amount." 6. "Suck suck, is it an octopus?" 7. "...Yes, indeed." 8. "...And so..."

1. "I have a request for you as the landlord once again." 2. "A match with that idiot Takumi Yoshida..." 3. "Will you let me do it after all?" 4. "What?" 5. "However, what we're betting isn't the rent, so please keep that money as it is." 6. "What we're betting this time is this..." 7. "Whichever one of us loses..." 8. "...will leave this apartment. How about it?"

1. "I guess this is goodbye to Takumi-kun too..." 2. "...Sigh." 3. "Too bad." 4. "Well, Reina-san isn't the right match for him." 5. "Eh?" 6. "W-Wait, Akasaka-san, Okazaki-san." 7. "What do you mean by that?" 8. "Oh, Landlady." 9. "You don't know?" 10. "Reina is a lesbian." 11. "Well, I heard she's actually bisexual, but..." 12. "She was saying something like she can never finish with a man." 13. "Oh my."

1. "W-Why, Shizuru-chan...?" 2. "Why? Because..." 3. "...Because if I don't, it'll be bad for Takumi-san..." 4. "Bad... but that's......" 5. "Eh?" 6. "Rena-san, I heard it has to be a woman." 7. "Just for that, why would Shizuru-chan go this far!?" 8. "Is this guy really that important to you!?"

1. "I see... but I..." 2. "I want both Reina-san and Takumi-san to stay here forever... that's why..." 3. "I'm sorry." 4. "...Takumi-san!" 5. "I'll help too, so..." 6. "Y-Yes...!" 7. "Please finish it properly...!"

1. "No... wait, Shizuru-chan..." 2. "Stop..." 3. "Ah... haaa..." 4. "Ah..." 5. "Aaaaa..."

1. --- Two weeks later --- 2. "Oh"

1. "Takumi-kun, you got a job!" 2. "Yes, thanks to you." 3. "Congratulations!" 4. "Good morning." 5. "Good morning, Shizuru-chan." 6. "Shall we go to the station together?" 7. "Eh..." 8. "Ha..." 9. "Yes...!" 10. "Must be nice to be young."
