Unknown: How many times do I have to tell you!?
Guy: Why do I--
Unknown: Then go!
Guy #2: ?
Unknown: Get the hell out of here!
Guy: What do you think you're doing, asshole?
Guy #2: What...?
- pg. 95 -
Guy: Watch were you're going, you fucking asshole!
Guy #2: Damn hoodlum...
!
Guy: /Ugh...
Guy #2: ....
/Hmph.
SFX: *Drag, Drag, Drag*
- pg. 96 -
Guy: ....Huh?
/Ow!
[Where am I?... I got fired from my job last night...]
[And then, that guy punched me...]
SFX: *Slam*
Guy: [I gotta get out of here!]
/Wh-wh-what the hell was that??
- pg. 97 -
Guy: [What am I doing here?]
SFX: *Tumble*
Guy: Guess it can't be helped...
[Just my luck...]
[And after finally finding a job, I was fired...]
[I have no money, and my family died when I was just a kid...]
[No friends, or anyone that I can trust...]
[It's always been this way...]
- pg. 98 -
Guy: [I can't even stand thinking about it.]
Guy #2: Gramps, I'm home.
Guy: Ah! It's you!
Gramps: Welcome home, Yuuichi.
Yuuichi: You're still here?
Guy: What do you mean, "I'm still here"?! It's that old geezer's fault!
/I couldn't just leave him alone!
Yuuichi: Well done.
Guy: What am I, a dog!?
~~~~~~~~~~
Why did you bring me here?
Yuuichi: Hm...
No reason in particular.
Guy: You kidnapper.
SFX: *Punch*
- pg. 99 -
Yuuichi: Anyway....
Natsume Takagi, will you be our housekeeper?
Natsumi: What!!?
H-how do you know my name?....
Yuuichi: /It was written on your bag.
I'm Yuuichi Matama, and this is my grandfather. The two of us live together.
/There's some rice on your face.
I take it you have no money or a place to live, right?
Natsumi: How the hell do you know all that!!?
Yuuichi: Well, you said all that in your sleep.
/You were sleeping all day.
/Right here.
Natsumi: Oh. I see.
/He ate it...
Yuuichi: I'll pay you, of course. It's fine as live-in job, but you can live
alone if you choose.
I have a few apartments of my own, so you can live in whichever one of those
you want.
/Gramps is landlord of this particular complex.
Natsumi: [!?]
- pg. 100 -
Natsumi: This outta cove the doctor's bill!
Don't think that I'll do whatever you want, just because you're giving me
money!
If you want that kind of housekeeper, then you'd better hire a specialist!
Arrow: /Gramp's sash.
Yuuichi: /Mm, delicious.
Gramps: More, please!
- pg. 101
Yuuichi: Gramps, are you going to sleep all ready?
Gramps: Yup.
Yuuichi: It'll be cold, so use two blankets.
Gramps: Right.
Natsumi: [He's tough, even though he's so thin.]
[What's he doing living in this tiny place, when he's got all that money?]
[Hmm... But he's young, and kind of good-looking...]
Yuuichi: Good night.
Natsumi: [Looks like he doesn't have any kids, or a wife...]
/Ah! He saw me!
SFX: *Click*
Natsumi: ....
- pg. 102 -
Natsumi: [Anyway...]
[He'll probably get tired of me, and kick me out.]
Adult: If you don't like it here at home, then you can just leave!
Employer: Sorry but...you're alone, and still too young, so I'll have to let you go...
Natsumi: [That's how they all threw me out, abandoned me...]
Classmate: Takagi? Oh, him. Just treat him nicely, and he'll listen to your every word.
Even when he fails, he just keeps coming back...
Natsumi: [I'm really not important to anyone....]
Unknown: There's really no difference whether or not he's even here...
Natsumi: ?
- pg. 103 -
SFX: *Slither, Slither*
Natsumi: [He must've fallen asleep with the T.V. on.
/That'll cost him...
.....!?
Yuuichi: ....
....
....
Nn...
Haa...
Unh...
Natsumi: [He...]
[He's j-j-j-jerking off!!!]
- pg. 104 -
Natsumi: [What? He doesn't have a girlfriend?]
Yuuichi: Ngh...
Nn...
Fuu...
Natsumi: [His finger!!?]
[He's gay!!?]
/Pervert!
Yuuichi: ...Nn!
Nn!
Aah!
Huh
.....
Uh... Ah!
Natsumi: Wha...What's wrong with me?
/I'm burning.
[But...with that expression...]
Yuuichi: *Haa...*
*Haa...*
- pg. 105 -
Natsumi: !!
Yuuichi: ....
....
....
Natsumi: /He's gonna kill me...
- pg. 106 -
Yuuichi: Get out of here.
Natsumi: ...What the hell? You're the one who brought me here in the first place!
Yuuichi: You have no interest in working here, right?
Natsumi: Then, why'd you pay me?
I get it now. You brought me because you want to do it with m--
- pg. 107 -
Yuuichi: I told you to get out of here!
Natsumi: Housekeeper, my ass! You just wanted to buy someone with a good body.
Yuuichi: Get out!!
Natsumi: [Just as I thought...]
[No matter where I go, this is the way it'll be.]
[But...]
[I have nowhere else to go.]
- pg. 108 -
Gramps: You threw out Natsume?
/Did he do something wrong?
Yuuichi: He's a person! It's not like throwing out a cat or dog...
Gramps: But you did throw him out, Yuuichi.
And you have responsibility for what you throw out for once.
It'd be a shame if he died out there.
/Dying right out there.
Let's give him a nice, large grave.
Yuuichi: ....
- pg. 109 -
Yuuichi: What a hassle you are.
Natsumi: Yeah, I know.
But I have nowhere else to go, you know.
Yuuichi: You're not sitting here because you have no aims, is it?
Natsumi: It's because I can't forget.
- pg. 110 -
Natsumi: You were beautiful when you were doing it yourself.
Yuuichi: !!
Shut up!!
Natsumi: Even though you have a horrible personality,
when you make that aroused face...it's not fair.
Yuuichi: Ugh!
I should've left you to freeze!
SFX: *Thump! Thump!*
Natsumi: No, don't!
/Whaah!
/Wait!
I may not be too bright or sharp, but that's it!
/I'm a junior high graduate.
Yuuichi: "That's it"!?
- pg. 111 -
Natsumi: I'll look after Gramps, clean, do the laundry, and any other work! I'll do anything!
Yuuichi: ...Let go of me!
Natsumi: Oh, sorry! ...I know I'm in the way, but I want to stay with you!
I want to have a relationship with you!!
- pg. 112 -
Yuuichi: ~~~~~~
.......
.......
*Blush*
Like you're one to bring that up!
Natsumi: So, I'm of no use to you?
Yuuichi: Shut up!!
Natsumi: Don't you wanna do it?
Yuuichi: Idiot!
Natsumi: But...
If I'm going to be thrown out anyway, it's okay if we try, right?
...You're gay, aren't you?
Classmate #1: Gay? You're kidding!
Classmate #2: He was only going out with Makoto because he's rich.
He's cute, but it's gross that he's actually gay!
Classmate #1: Whatever. Think he's having sex?
As for me, I prefer girls.
Yuuichi: ...Follow me.
- pg. 113 -
Yuuichi: How long are you going to sit there?
You wanted to try, right?
Natsumi: Y...yeah.
Yuuichi: Well, I understand if you're nervous.
- pg. 114 -
Yuuichi: Still, you shouldn't push yourself too hare, because you're not gay.
Natsumi: Sorry, but I...
I really want to do it with you.
Yuuichi: !
- pg. 115 -
SFX: *Kiss*
Yuuichi: Nnh...
....
....
Nn...
Natsumi: Does it feel good?
Am I doing this right?
Yuuichi: Nn!
Ah!...
SFX: *Haa...*
- pg. 116 -
Yuuichi: Aah!....
N-no! Don't...
Natsumi: I said I'd do anything, didn't I? Just show me what to do.
Yuuichi.
Yuuichi: ....
Okay, then...
Aah!...
Natsumi: Does it hurt,...Yuuichi?
Yuuichi: *Haa... Haa...*
Nn...
Put it in... Deeper...
- pg. 117 -
SFX: *Kiss*
SFX: *Haa...*
Natsumi: Yuu... I'm also going to come...
Yuuichi: .....
Now...
Natsumi: ?
Yuuichi: Close your eyes.
Nn!
Aah!
Natsumi: Yuu...ichi!
Uunh!
Does it feel good?
Yuuichi: Haaa...
Nnh!...
- pg. 118 -
Yuuichi: Yes...
It feels good.
Natsumi: I-I'll do my best!
Yuuichi: /Ouch!
Idiot!
Nn!...
Ah!
SFX: *Haa... Haa... Haa! Haa...*
Yuuichi: Aa... Aah!
Natsumi: Because, I...
Yuuichi: Aah! Na...
Natsu..me...!
- pg. 119 -
Natsumi: Yuuichi!
Yuuichi: Nn!...
Aah...!
Natsumi: {Please, don't ever stop wanting me...}
Yuuichi: [Idiot.]
Natsumi: Yuuichi...
Yuuichi: But I'm also the fool.
SFX: *Slam*
- pg. 120 -
Natsumi: Yuuichi, you fucking asshole!!!
/Kill!!!
Gramps: ...
Natsumi: ....
Where's Yuuichi?
/Ooh! A heated table!
Gramps: At work.
/Have an orange!
Natsumi: I see.
SFX: *Silence*
Gramps: Did you two have a--
Natsumi: Something like that!
That bastard ran off!
[I'm really not important to him, after all!]
- pg. 121 -
Gramps: You see,
Yuuichi is a bit of a coward.
Natsumi: ...Gramps.
Gramps: His parents were interested only in work and money. They always neglected Yuuichi, caught up in their money.
/They're my children, but I know they're not perfect.
Surrounded all his life by money-hungry people, every time he's tried to get close to someone, he's been hurt.
And so, he became even more guarded, than most, always wary of other people.
/And he's uneasy about marriage.
Natsumi: [Maybe...]
[The two of us are similar that way...]
Yuuichi: I'm home, Gramps.
- pg. 122 -
Yuuichi: ....
Natsumi: Welcome home, Yuuichi.
SFX: *Ta-daa!!*
Yuuichi: You came back?
Natsumi: /Tonight is sukiyaki!
Well, I've decided to work here from now on.
Gramps: /Yay! (heart)
Yuuichi: Hmph.
You can trust me, so with a place to live and work...
Natsumi: Don't be ridiculous.
Me and Gramps were talking, and we've decided that I'll be your wife!
- pg. 123 -
Yuuichi: Stop joking around!
You can only go so far, you know!
Natsumi: I told you before that I can't help it.
I'm stupid and I thought I wasn't gay before, but...
I'm so glad I was born because it felt so good to do it with you, and I love touching you, and you completely satisfy me!
Gramps: /Oh!
Yuuichi: You idiot!!!
Natsumi: Besides...
the only one who can make you happy and satisfied is me!
- pg. 124 -
Natsumi: You need me! That's why you picked me up, right?
Yuuichi: You're always such an idiot!
/Haah...
Natsumi: /Well, I know that, but...
I love you, Yuuichi!
/And not just because you pay me!
Yuuichi: Shut up... You just love my body...
Natsumi: /Oh! I made him cry!
That's because your body is the only thing that I know so far...
- pg. 125 -
Natsumi: So tell me everything else about you. I'll show you that I'm different from those money-hungery guys...
You can take your time...
to figure out whether or not you love me, too.
Yuuichi: Natsu...!
- pg. 126 -
Natsumi: Or, is it really so troublesome that I stay?
Yuuichi: /That brat gave me tongue!
Natsumi: Am I really in the way?
Yuuichi: /Well...he is my type but...
Th--
That's not it.
But...a wife?
Natsumi: I am your lover anyway, right?
Yuuichi: Well, usually you start with dating, but...
Gramps: Yuuichi, aren't you glad your wife came?
/The pan is boiling over!
Natsumi: /Exactly!
Yuuichi: ....
/Gramps...
