"﻿There on my doorstep..." "I'm in love with you." "﻿was a terrorist" "﻿Come again?" "﻿It's destiny." "is blathering about apparently stems from something that happened three years ago." "﻿The hell you looking at?" "﻿Just hand over what you've got" "﻿I don't have any money for morons!" "you losers!" "﻿You little shit!" "﻿Who the hell are you?" "what do you think you're doing?" "asshole?" "Get lost it's got nothing to do with me." "well... that's disturbing the peace." "is this the police?" "﻿I've just witnessed an attempted extortion... we're out of here." "﻿This dumbass thinks he's a freaking "good Samaritan"... it's okay now." "They ran off." "Thank you." "﻿It's destiny... do you know how to get to the Teito Hotel from here?" "me too!" "too!" "﻿Thanks!" "You really helped me out!" "﻿I'm this way." "﻿E-Eh?" "So am I!" "where is it?" "﻿Where's the Peacock Room?" "﻿Peacock?" "!" "wait a sec...!" "﻿There it is!" "The Peacock Room!" "﻿What's your name...?" "﻿I'm so sorry I'm late!" "﻿You!" "Where in the world have you been!" "Shinobu!" "you two came together?" "﻿Shinobu?" "You're Shinobu?" "let me introduce you." "﻿This gentleman is Miyagi You-kun." "and he'll be your older brother-in-law." "﻿Heartbreak" "Ah right when my and my ex-wife's families had that get-together three years ago... hadn't you." "weren't you studying abroad?" "um... ﻿Australia." "﻿Why the decision to come back home all of a sudden?" "and I heard you'd divorced." "﻿So... it's got to be destiny." "﻿Oh... ﻿That's what you call destiny?" "of course!" "eh?" "I understand." "That'd stress anyone out!" "﻿You can talk to me if you need someone to listen." "﻿I'm in love with you." "too!" "that'll do it!" "that's the stuff!" "It'll fix you right up!" "﻿Don't mock me." "﻿Do you have any idea what you're saying?" "and a thirty-five year old one at that." "﻿Quit playing pranks on an old man." "﻿You think it's a hobby of mine to fly all the way home from Australia simply to meet an old man and play a prank on him?" "﻿So?" "What exactly is it you want me to do?" "﻿Take responsibility." "﻿Kids these days.." "I don't have a damn clue what they're thinking!" "﻿Excuse me? ﻿and I was hoping Shinobu could stay at your house while I'm away." "﻿Is it inconvenient for some reason for ﻿Shinobu to stay at your house?" "• • •" "Risako is going to be back during that period." "﻿I see... she's... she's bringing her boyfriend?" "she is." "﻿And Shinobu's not happy about it at all." "﻿But I can't very well have him stay at a friend's house for two weeks so I can't send him off alone to a hotel... but I've got a lot of work piled up right now ﻿I don't get home until the middle of the night." "﻿And plus" "﻿Just do me this favor!" "You can pass your work onto Kamijou!" "he's not very interested in Matsuo Basho... that's all I ask!" "﻿I really am sorry that my family situation ﻿is placing such a burden on you." "not at all." "either!" "I have no idea why he came back home all of a sudden." "but I just don't know what he's thinking!" "too!" "﻿I'm counting on you!" "isn't this just great" "﻿It's headaches like this that I hate the most!" "﻿Feel free to use whatever in the house." "﻿What?" "﻿It's tidier than I was expecting." "for a widower." "﻿You know some strange words." "﻿You eat already?" "﻿Not yet that okay?" "I'll do it" "I assumed he'd be clueless in a kitchen... ﻿Kids these days really do know how to look after themselves." "﻿Vegetable stir-fry sound good?" "﻿Sure." "vegetables." "and then... ﻿The secret ingredient." "﻿Turn the frickin' stove off!" "you've made a very... manly meal." "﻿Sorry!" "Just throw it out" "﻿I'll go buy something at the store." "﻿It-'s fine." "﻿It's not like it's inedible." "encourage him a bit." "Establish communication." "﻿I'll do it right next time." "how's Australia?" "﻿Is it really full of sheep?" "See any koalas?" "How about kangaroos?" "﻿Get yourself a girlfriend?" "﻿Foreign girls always look damn sexy for their age..." "﻿Crap." "﻿I want you to take responsibility." "Why we're both men." "﻿Two men can't be together?" "﻿And you're my ex-wife's brother." "and we're not related by blood." "﻿Don't you think a seventeen year age difference is a little much?" "﻿I could be your father!" "﻿It is a little much." "﻿That's why I think you should take responsibility for having done this to me." "responsibility"?" "﻿I want you to fall in love with me." "﻿Not good." "﻿I think I might have gotten stuck with a serious pain in the ass." "that's the only explanation!" "﻿How could I possibly be his love interest?" "!" "about those materials you wanted... ﻿Kamijou!" "﻿What do you want?" "!" "you know!" "﻿You're my only source of comfort!" "﻿I don't recall ever offering you any!" "honestly!" "you don't have to be so cold!" "we've got a relationship!" "﻿And what kind of relationship would that be!" "﻿Hmmm." "eh." "﻿Wh-Why are you asking that out of nowhere?" "no reason." "I just noticed your skin's been looking very smooth recently." "anyway... ﻿Playing with him never fails to amuse me." "﻿Guys like Kamijou are easy to handle." "﻿We both know exactly how far we can ﻿go before it becomes "too" far." "﻿Because we're both adults." "﻿Relationships are all about keeping the proper distance." "That's the foundation of all peace." "read between the lines." "﻿I want him to stop trying to enter into my life." "﻿I don't like headaches..." "﻿Thank you for loving me." "Shinobu-chan's probably just overwhelmed by the heat and acting a little crazy." "after all." "﻿Or maybe it's the jet lag?" "﻿But there's not much of a time difference..." "﻿I'm back." "﻿W-Welcome home." "﻿Dinner?" "﻿I ate already." "﻿Oh." "don't you?" "﻿What are you going to do?" "Are you ﻿applying to a Japanese university?" "yeah." "﻿Which one?" "﻿I'm thinking about Mitsuhashi." "﻿Probably..." "literature." "that's good." "I'm always glad ﻿to see a fellow literature enthusiast." "I-I don't really care about literature that much." "﻿What the hell?" "Are you just picking a school at random?" "﻿It's not random!" "kid." "﻿You better not be thinking college is just four years of partying." "﻿I don't think that!" "has you in it!" "I'm flattered." "Mitsuhashi is no pushover." "﻿With your half-assed motivation... ﻿It's not half-assed!" "Lots of people choose their school because there's a ﻿certain professor they like there." "It's totally normal!" "﻿You have ulterior motives." "That's not normal." "﻿So what?" "It's all the same once I get accepted!" "you don't deserve to be accepted." "just wait!" "﻿Why does it have to be me?" "!" "﻿It's because it's you!" "into my life?" "!" "﻿You've sure got some weird kinks." "Or has it just been that long since you got any?" "﻿Le-Let go!" "aren't you?" "and you've got money." "why don't you try someone else?" "﻿What...?" "﻿Or what you figured it might be a thrill ﻿to try sleeping with a guy once?" "﻿Let go of me!" "Get off!" "﻿Then allow me to oblige you." "﻿What?" "Not enough?" "﻿Stop!" "﻿And this is it. ﻿he socks me in the face two or three times as hard as he can ﻿before he goes running on home... and the case is closed." "shit" "﻿He's serious." "﻿Whe-Where are you going?" "﻿Somewhere." "﻿Don't run away!" "﻿I-I never really tried hard in class or with sports ﻿I just kind of did them and I was pretty good." "I don't have to worry about money." "nothing I really want to be." "whatever." "and that's you!" "﻿Is it so freaking bad that I want to chase after that one thing?" "﻿You... stupid bastard!" "﻿Make sure you turn off the gas." "Miyagi!" "﻿What the hell... ﻿What the hell is with that boy..." "﻿Shit..." "﻿Miyagi." "﻿Thank you for loving me." "﻿Wha-Wha-What's going on?" "!" "﻿What are you doing here?" "!" "﻿I figured you'd be here if you weren't gonna come home." "﻿So you actually came all the way to my office?" "!" "﻿You're a minor." "You shouldn't be out wandering ﻿the streets in the middle of the night!" "actually." "﻿Shinobu-chan..." "Let me take this opportunity ﻿to make something clear." "sorry ﻿but I just don't swing that way." "﻿You ever done it with a guy?" "﻿Of course not!" "﻿Then don't say you don't swing that ﻿way!" "You haven't even tried it yet" "﻿Excuse me?" "!" "is that it?" "of course I've done it" "﻿But I... you have terrible taste!" "Why me ?" "﻿Because...!" "this is Miyagi!" "I always appreciate your help." "﻿Oh?" "Would you mind if I stopped by there right now then?" "﻿Okay!" "playtime's over." "Get back to school." "﻿Where are you going?" "﻿A used bookstore." "too!" "﻿Don't follow me!" "This is my work!" "﻿What's the big deal?" "﻿I just want to be with you!" "I'm only going to say this once." "﻿Don't interfere with my work." "﻿But... ﻿You want to come with me?" "Come back when you've got yourself the proper knowledge and culture." "﻿An amateur in an academic setting is worse than useless." "﻿B-But I told you." "I'm going to enter the literature department..!" "﻿Then you better get back to school and study if you want to get-in!" "﻿That's exactly what an exam student should ﻿be occupying his time with studying." "they're called kids!" "﻿And I hate kids!" "﻿Got it?" "Now go to school." "right?" "I love him." "right?" "﻿That's just a theory that's floating around." "time to go." "﻿My name is Shinobu." "﻿Shinobu is written with the "nin" from ninja." "﻿The characters are the same!" "So that ﻿means you can fall in love with me!" "truly don't have ﻿a damn clue what they're thinking!" "this looks delicious!" "hm?" "I'm jealous!" "it's nothing like that." "just let me eat in peace!" "﻿Sure does look good!" "too." "I think it's about ready." "﻿Eh?" "﻿Whoa!" "That was close!"
