1. Chapter 12: As If I'd Get Jealous
2. "What do you mean..."
3. "...what do we think?"
4. "You're bein' real forceful today."
5. "I mean, if you're askin'..."
6. "...I'm pretty used to it."
7. "Yeah"
8. "Ah, well. Actually..."
9. "...it's nothing..."
10. "Why're you asking about this all of a sudden?"
11. "Huh? No-"
12. "It's not about that..."
13. "Calm down, it's all fine!"
14. "You just wanna make sure that we're not gonna hurt miwa, right?"
15. "Ah, I get it..."
16. "What's up, lucha?"
17. "Hey..."
18. "...since we're on the topic, can I ask you something?"
Yükleniyor…Yükleniyor…
1. "Am I..."
2. "...doing an okay job?!"
3. "...huh?"
4. "Uh, y'know..."
5. "Do I seem like I'm acting normal around the two of them?"
7. "Huh? Uh..."
8. "Normal, sure..."
9. "I think you make a lot of jokes about it, but..."
10. "Wait, you're not... Acting like a calming, loving presence..."
11. "...with some nasty hidden agenda, are you?!"
12. "Absolutely not!!"
Yükleniyor…Yükleniyor…
1. "...cuz in the past, I screwed up this kinda thing..."
2. "As long as I can act normal, it's fine..."
3. Cuz I went to an all-guys school.
4. I just froze.
5. ...and he confided in me that he liked a guy in our class.
6. I had this friend in high school...
7. And he'd play around with us and laugh about it too.
8. And we basically just thought of bein' gay as somethin' to joke around about.
9. I wonder what my face looked like when I said that.
10. "Ha ha ..."
11. "Oh, for real ...?"
1. After that, I basically didn't talk to him anymore.
2. He was a good guy.
3. I shoulda been there for him.
4. But I wonder if I'm tryin' too hard and coming off awkward or whatever.
5. ...I want to be sure I'm on their side this time.
6. So now with saeko and miwa ...
7. "Lu-chaaa ...!"
8. "It was pretty bad when I tried to ask 'em how girls do it, right?"
9. "Yeah ..."
10. "I haven't said anything wrong, right?! I'm good, right?!"
11. "That's rude!"
12. "You did?!"
1. "Feel better about what?"
2. "Okay."
3. "Yeah, I feel better..."
4. "..."
5. "...I see."
6. "Huh? Where's miwa?"
7. "Ahh? Didn't you buy anything?"
8. "Gah! Saeko..."
9. "I left her behind."
10. "What do you mean, gah?"
11. "Ahh, yeah, you're in the same class."
12. "Mikkun, let's go to fifth period together."
13. "Oh..."
14. "Besides, fourth period is almost over."
15. "Ah..."
16. "She has, like, a group presentation or something tomorrow."
17. "She's gotta go work things out with them..."
1. "Hey, so we ended up with tsuruta..."
2. "That's what we all decided, right?"
3. "Hm? Yeah."
4. "Well, yeah, but..."
5. "...for the middle seat on the bus. That okay with you?"
6. "I'm askin' if it's really okay!"
7. "..."
8. "Why, she says..."
9. "Why?"
10. "I'm just like... No other guys are allowed to get close to my girlfriend!!"
11. "Hey, wait, does that mean you get jealous, mikkun?"
12. "Saeko, don't you ever get jealous?"
13. "Whoa, serious."
14. "Of course I do! It's normal!!"
15. "Jealous...?"
1. "...even if I know there's absolutely no reason to worry about cheating..."
2. "...even if I know they're not interested in each other..."
3. "...if I see another guy getting close to my girlfriend..."
4. "Y'know, if I'm being honest..."
5. "Hmm... I wouldn't have figured that."
6. "There've even been times when I've picked a fight about it and the girl broke up with me."
7. "...I still just get pissed off."
8. "You can't? I get mad like everybody else."
9. "I can't really imagine you getting mad and picking fights..."
10. "I get the sense that you're imagining something totally evil!"
11. "I get mad... Honestly, sometimes I just feel like it'd be much easier just to tie my girl up..."
1. "Hm?"
2. "Something wrong?"
3. "...anyway, you seem kind of bummed out, saeko."
4. Jealousy and trying to tie people down.
5. They're just such foreign concepts to me...
6. "I'm doing perfectly fine!!"
7. "It doesn't hurt, and I don't have to go!"
8. "Does your stomach hurt? There's the bathroom."
9. I mean... I don't really have the luxury to do stuff like that...
10. "I was just thinking."
11. It's stupid.
12. That's why I will never act like that when I'm dating.
13. "I know."
14. ...and it can make people hate each other.
15. It's exhausting for both the jealous person and their partner...
1. "Ughhh, I'm so tired of tests!"
2. "Also, I hate reports!"
3. "Shiiit, I wanna go have fun!"
4. "..."
5. "And it's our two-month anniversary too..."
6. "Nn..."
7. "Um..."
8. "Talk to me!"
9. "C'mon, miwa...!"
10. "Neither did I."
11. "I know, I know!"
12. "I-I didn't do anything."
13. "...might be broken?"
14. "What?!"
15. "The laptop..."
1. "Hey, what's with that attitu-"
2. "Oh, you're such a burden, little girl...!"
3. "Sorry... Thanks."
4. "There."
5. "Okay, and..."
6. "Ah. I see."
7. "All right, fixed it."
8. "Haven't you heard?"
9. "We're already that couple..."
10. "Ohhh, c'mon, I don't want to be..."
11. "...that couple that's all over each other..."
12. "Like, do you get mad when you see other people talking to me, stuff like that...?"
13. "Hm?"
14. "Hey, miwa... Are you ever jealous over me?"
15. "Err..."
16. "..."
1. "You see, I'm so shy..."
2. "...and I'm envious of how good you are at talking to people."
3. "But then I try to think, no, don't compare yourself to others..."
4. "I don't think I get mad..."
5. "If I had to say, I just kind of think... Oh, that's amazing, that's so great..."
6. "...so I guess that's why I'm not jealous."
7. "I want you to live your life like you want."
8. "I guess that's a strange thing to say as your girlfriend, though..."
1. "...and it surprised me."
2. "...we basically think exactly the same..."
3. "...I mean..."
4. "I mean, I was a little excited, that's all..."
5. "Huh?!"
6. "Ah, sorry!"
7. "Saeko... My hand hurts..."
8. "I just squeezed..."
9. "Eh heh heh... Let's do it."
10. "Ah, so..."
11. "Yeah, really!"
12. "Huh, really?!"
13. "Ahh... We're really well matched...!"
14. I'm so glad that miwa feels the same.
15. I'm happy.
16. I'm so happy.
1. "Oh, but let's not..."
2. "The noise... I don't want someone outside to hear us..."
3. "Then I'll have to keep your mouth busy..."
4. We don't need jealousy. We don't need to tie each other down.
5. "Mn"
6. "Hff"
7. We can both be free.
8. But I'm still her woman.
9. "Heh heh ..."
10. And miwa's still my beautiful, adorable girl.
11. ...it's kinda stupid.
1. "Summer vacation starts tomorrow..."
2. "Cheers!!"
3. "Everybody! Good job on finals!!"
4. "...so let's driiink!!"
5. "Finals just ended..."
6. "It's easier to get drunk if you're sleep-deprived, I guess."
7. "It's so strange... She didn't even drink that much..."
8. "Miwa, I brought you some water. Do you think you can drink it?"
1. "I'm makin' trouble..."
2. "Saeko... M'sorry..."
3. "Miwa, you okay?! I can take you home!"
4. "It's no trouble..."
5. "Usshi, don't be rude!"
6. "Look, we're fine. There's nothing to see here."
7. "Well, maybe she can stay at my place?"
8. "Ah, but I'm broke..."
10. "Nice one, rika!"
11. "Why don't you carry her off to a hotel?"
12. "Hey, miwa can't go home alone like that, can she?"
1. "Shut it! You don't get to stay over anymore!!"
2. "Oh no, usshi... Are you stealing her away?"
3. "So, my place is pretty close."
4. "And I'm used to drunk-sitting rika..."
5. "You sure you're okay?"
6. "Mfhm... M'fine."
7. I mean... ...that's how chill we are, after all.
8. "Oh..."
9. That was a nice, straight-forward reply, if I say so myself.
10. "Sorry... I guess I'm taking her home..."
11. "Might be weird..."
12. "You cool? Miwa's probably heavy."
13. "Oh no, not at all."
14. "It'd be a great help. Thanks, usshi!"
1. "I hate you guyzzz..."
2. "Saeko, you can't say stuff like that."
3. "She is a little heavy, though."
4. "Mn..."
5. "Here we go. Can you walk?"
6. "I'll try..."
7. "Buh-bye..."
8. "Sure, stay safe!"
9. "...all right, I'm headed home."
10. "Saeko..."
1. It's stupid, I know... I know that!
2. Just such a bummer, so irritating and stupid...
3. No, but seriously. Jealousy or whatever is just outside of our experience.
1. "Yup! Bye-bye! ♡ be good for usshi! ♡"
2. Huhhh? That's weird...!!
3. I'm so freakin' mad I kinda wanna die!!
