Revenge of the Fallen Angel ch14: Is That Really Such a Bad Thing?

p1

Soprano-chan's pressure is intense.

You don't actually
love Mirei, do you?

What's that supposed to mean?
I thought the same thing when we talked at Miss Donut the other day.

It just sounded like you were pressuring her for your own convenience.

p2

Stuff like "I won't stop until we become lovers"
or "where should I go".
Every time you open your mouth, it's all about you.

You take advantage of the fact Mirei can't assert herself
and make her do whatever you want.

Can a romance where you treat Mirei like a puppet
really be called love?

p3

I
love Mirei-chan.

Is being selfish because of romance
really such a bad thing?

Do you have any idea about the feelings I've had
for the four years between first meeting Mirei-chan and changing schools?

You've never loved anyone seriously, Mizushima-san,

p4

so don't get in the way of my romance with Mirei-chan.

p5

...I'm not saying you can't be lovers or anything,

but if you truly love her,
shouldn't you be wishing for her happiness?

At the very least, if I were in your shoes,
I'd treat Mirei with care and never trouble her.

If you trouble her any further,
I won't forgive you.

p6

Are those two gonna be okay...?
Ah, it's already starting!
So many people!
Ooh~

Ah, those seats are free!
Ah... Those are...

Take some photos to send Soprano-chan later.
Ah...
Right.

p7

GYAAAAAAH!!

Splash Zone - Raincoats Required
I-I'm soaked...
You okay, miss?
Hahaha

Why are you laughing too, Nakamura-san!?
You used me as a shield just now, didn't you!
Hahaha

p8

...Hey, Mizushima-san.
Do you really think of Mirei-chan as a friend?

From the way you were talking,
it didn't seem like you were speaking from the position of a friend.

She's my friend.

Just like you,
I've been watching Mirei for four years since middle school.

p9

Even though she's an introvert who gets depressed easily,
she's a troublesome girl who's reluctant to talk about herself.

That's why I intend on always supporting Mirei
from a distance that won't trouble her.

We may have both known her for four years each,
but I have confidence that I'm her very best friend.

At the very least, I'm pretty sure that I'm more capable
of making Mirei smile than you are right now.

p10

... Why...
Ah!! There you are!!

Geeeez!! It was horrible without you, Soprano-chan!!
Let's go already! You're gonna have fun with me!!

Ah, sorry about that...
I guess it was like I stole the angel from you...
Why are you soaked...?
Too right!! You'd better make it up to me later, okay!?

p11

...

I was pretty firm with her,
so she shouldn't be causing you any trouble for a while.
I don't know for sure, though.

...Sorry you got wrapped up in all this, Emi-chan...
You've got nothing to apologise for, Mirei.

...It seems the angel

p12

also had times when she wanted to be friends with you.

Yeah, you guys really should be friends...

Every time you open your mouth, it's all about you.

Emi-chan?
...It's almost assembly time, so let's check out the gift shop before heading back to the bus.

...I'm in no position to be giving smug lectures...

p13

Soprano-chan, let's buy matching ones!!

And I'll get this one for my little sister!

Her name's Nana, by the way.
She's a big fan of yours too, Soprano-chan,
so she's sure to be happy when I tell her we all match!
...

...Soprano-chan? Are you feeling unwell?
!

p14

Not at all. I'm just fine.

I hope Nana-chan likes it.

Yeah!

p15

This is so awkward!!

I mean, we kissed today, right!?
Even though we're both girls!!

My first kiss... well, not really, since it was just on the cheek and all...
But with the way things are going,
I really will end up having my first kiss with Soprano-chan...

p16

No, no! There's no way that's happening!!
...Mirei-chan.

We didn't take a photo together at the aquarium,
so should we take one now to end things on?

p17

Ah... yeah.
You're right...

Mirei-chan.

p18

I guess this kinda thing bothers you, huh?

Eh...? Bothers me...? I wouldn't say...

Erm... Did Emi-chan say something to you?
...

p19

..Ah, it's no use.
I really...

can't stand to see Soprano-chan being hurt...
...Soprano-chan.

I can't really say anything thoughtful...
but if it'll cheer you up, then...

p20

Ah! Just the hand, though!
Also, this'll be the last thing we do as trial lovers!

...You really don't play fair.

Guilt...
