Hey girl, can you give a summary of chapter 116? Pretty please? ^^
Hey! Sorry for replying so late!
I’m not fluent in Japanese, and I don’t have much experience translating. I can read and look up words I don’t know, but I’m not claiming that this is a super accurate translation. Some things I was shaky on, and I didn’t translate every line. There are probably mistakes. But this is at least the gist of what’s going on, and I hope it helps until a better / official translation is released! :)
ColoredPages: Exams in January. Kazehaya’s mother asks if he has his admission ticketfor the exam. He says he’s got it before heading to the exam center. Sawako’smother tells her to be careful and “Fight!” as she leaves home. “And, inFebruary, each of us approaches the crucial moment.”
Page 1:Sawako wishes Kazehaya a happy Valentine’s Day. She says that even though she’sgiving him store-bought chocolate this year, she thinks it will still tastegood. Kazehaya thanks her for doing that for him, and Sawako apologizes fortaking up his time when he’s busy studying.
Page 2: Theyare happy to see each other, and Kazehaya admits that he feels kind of shysince they haven’t been able to meet for a while. The students are currently ina “home study” period, and even though it’s only for a little bit, she andKazehaya have met each other for the past 3 Valentine’s Days. Before leaving,he tells Sawako to do her best!
Page 3: Chizutexts Sawako a picture of the homemade chocolate she made for Ryu. As soon as Sawakoreplies to Chizu’s message, she suddenly gets a message from Ayane titled,“Report” (as in her exam results).
Page 4:Message reads: “I passed. I’m heading to the school to let them know.” Sawakosays, “You…did it…Ayane-chan…you did it…!!”
Page 5: “Youdid it!!!!” Sawako thinks: “Ayane-chan, you’re a step ahead.”
Page 6: Ayanethinks about what Pin would say if he knew the cough drop he gave her was hergood luck charm while she took the exam. (The imaginary Pin in the backgroundis bragging, “It’s all thanks to me!! Ha Ha Ha!!”) She laughs because it seemslike something he’d say. “But,” she thinks, “If he said that, I wouldn’t beable to deny it.”
Page 7: “IfPin hadn’t been there, I would have given up a long time ago. If I tell him Ipassed, what will he say?”
Page 8: Ayanesuddenly realizes it’s Valentine’s Day.
Page 9: Ayane thinks, “Now that I think about it, I gave chocolate my firstand second years of high school!!! To Pin!!! No way!!!” She thinks about howshe could give it to him – as a “thank you” or with a friendly, light-heartedattitude? Ultimately she decides it’s impossible and dashes away.
Page 10: Ayane thinks, “Since Pin is shameless, maybe he’ll demandchocolate. In that case, wouldn’t it be good to come prepared? I’ll say, ‘Itcan’t be helped’ or something like, ‘Even though it’s for my dad…’” SuddenlyChigusa calls out to her and asks if she came to school to tell them her examresults. She says that yes, and that she passed – Chigusa tosses her the photosand says that now they’re a congratulatory gift!
Page 11: Ayane brought bags of chips as a bribe for the photos, but Chigusaturns her down, saying they’re a gift for passing her exam. Ayane starts toinsist that she accept the chips, panicking because it seems like Chigusa knowswhy she wanted the photos (haha!). Ayane shoves a chip in her mouth, sayingthat it’s “hush money” – Chigusa assures her that her lips are sealed as sheleaves with the chips. Ayane seems shocked, but thanks her and runs into thebathroom.
Page 12: Looking at the photos, Ayane thinks about how happy she and Pinlook, mentally thanking Chigusa for capturing the moment.
Page 13: She thinks about how they’re smiling and laughing in the picture.Suddenly she tears up, thinking, “…oh no…the pictures…they’ll get wet…what isthis…?” She asks herself how many more times she and Pin will be able to meet.
Page 14: “Three times? And after I tell him that I passed, two times?” Inher memories, she tells Pin, “Ugh, it’s Pin! Don’t walk so close to me!” Heyells, “I’m not!!” She remembers him calling her an idiot with a huge grin onhis face.
Page 15: She thinks that soon she won’t even be able to look at his face.
Page 16: She walks up the steps to the office.
Page 17: She thinks, “…it’s no good. I’ll start crying…”
Page 18: “(My feelings) will come through. This time he’ll definitelynotice.”
Page 19: Pin suddenly hears a noise from outside the door (Ayane runningback down the stairs). He listens for a moment, but then slams the door openand yells, “Is someone there? HEY!!”
Page 20: Receiving no answer, he angrily slams the door. He waits aroundfor two hours, grumbling and bored. A female student asks permission to enter.
Page 21: “Sensei, I passed at my first choice!!” Pin excitedly tells her heknew she could do it! He congratulates her and reminds her to come on the 31st(of March?). Before she can leave, he asks her if she’s seen Ayane. The femalestudent says that she hasn’t, and that Ayane wasn’t in the classroom either.
Page 22: Pin thinks that today should be the day they learn their examresults. “That means she…disappeared / ran…!” Looking at the clock, he thinks,“Well…I’ll wait a little longer…”
Page 23: Kent runs into Ayane at the train station and asks what she’sdoing there. He tells her about the chocolate he’s received and she laughs alittle, saying that he’s so nice. He reminisces that last year he only receivedthem from his girlfriend.
Page 24: He shouts that it was fun, and Ayane agrees while thinking thatshe did really horrible things to him, but he gave her lots of happy memories.Suddenly Kento remembers the exam and asks how she did.
Page 25: Ayane says, “Yeah. I passed!” Kento happily shouts, “You did it!!You did it, Ayane-chan! Congratulations!!” Ayane smiles and thanks him.
Page 26: Kento notices the pictures and Ayane says that Chigusa brought hersome from the New Year’s shrine visit. Kento tells her that actually, he wasalso there – Ayane didn’t know, and asks why he didn’t call out to her. He saysit was okay.
Page 27: He says, “I saw you making a face I’d never seen before.”
Page 28: Ayane thinks, “A face…he’d never seen before?” Kento asks if sheremembers what he told her when they broke up.
Page 29: She remembers that he told her to make sure that she likes thenext guy a lot. “That’s great, Ayane-chan,” he says, smiling at her. Ayanetells him that he’s too good, and he agrees with a laugh.
Page 30: Ayane says, “It’s thanks to you, Kento!!” She thinks, “That I wasable to love someone. I used to think I was incapable of falling in love. ThatI couldn’t love someone. But…I did…” Kento asks if she gave any chocolate, andAyane answers that she couldn’t give any – she didn’t even announce her examresults. Kento says, “That’s not good! He’s waiting!!”
Page 31: Kento tells she has to go quickly, and she agrees.
Page 32: “…hmm…” Pin says, staring at the clock. Ayane thinks, “Is it okayto let [my feelings] come out?”
Page 33: “In the end, I’m scared. Of being rejected, of seeing the results.Just like when I took the exam, I’m scared!” Ayane calls Chizu and asks her toplease say some powerful words (to encourage her).
Page 34: Chizu doesn’t get it so starts yelling, “Idiot! Idiot! Damn kid!” Ayanetells her she’s cursing and then laughs, telling her to stop. She says, “You’reright! After all, I am an idiot! I am a damn kid! Thank you! I’m okay now!!”Chizu says, “Huh? Wait a sec – why? Were you feeling lonely because you’regoing to Tokyo by yourself?!” Ayane smiles and says, “…no. I’ll do my best…”
Page 35: Ayane then calls Sawako, who congratulates her for passing. Ayanethanks her and apologizes for interrupting her studying – she asks Sawako totell her to do her best. Sawako says, “…do your best!”
Page 36: “Ayane-chan, do your best! Do your best! Do your best…!” Ayanethanks her, saying she’s so glad she met them all. She thinks, “Even thoughKazehaya could have liked someone, Sawako ran to him…”
Page 37: “…Chizu, who understood she couldn’t have a mutual love [withToru].” [Her break-up conversation with Kento…]
Page 38: “But…it was my longing. To become familiar with it…like everyoneelse.” She enters the school and asks another teacher where Pin is. He saysthat he already went home.
Page 39: The teacher says that he stayed pretty late, but Ayane races outbefore he can finish speaking. As she approaches Pin’s apartment, she thinks,“After all, I’m a stupid kid. But [I / he] [know / knows] that, right?”
Page 40: “He’ll say, ‘It’s okay to be a stupid kid.’ Right? Surely whateverhe says, whatever the outcome is, I’ll be able to come to terms with all of it,right?”
Page 41: Ayane rings the doorbell.
Page 42: O/////////////////O
Page 43: If I’m going to be rejected, it’s good that it’s Pin. [If I’mrejected at the beginning, Pin is good.]
The last line is difficult to translate for some reason haha, and I’m not always sure who she’s talking about in the section leading up to Pin’s door. If anyone has anything to add / clarify, feel free! This was an amazing chapter!! :D
