Slow Start ch157
p1
I wouldn't go as far
as saying that I thought of myself
as the most unhappiest girl in the world,
but even though
I was so sad, frustrated and in pain
that I couldn't help it just a moment ago,
right now, I'm really excited.
An option besides joining her father on his job transfer has appeared...!?
p2
No, no.
But wait a second.
If I get my hopes up too high, it'll hurt even more if doesn't work out.
Gotta stay calm.
Keep a cool head...
Hey, Kasane-chan. Kasane-chan.
How about we get a set of matching tableware or something?
smile
Friendly Atmosphere
I'm home!
Good evening~ Pardon the intrusion~
Tsukkun!
Hiroe-san, welcome back!
Oh?
p3
You all seem to be enjoying yourselves.
Indeed.
You're really fired up.
Did something good happen?
My word!
So something like that happened...
That must've been rough, huh, Oku-san.
Eh ehehe...
And here I've been indulging in all sorts of debauchery.
Same here.
I've just been doing whatever I want.
You're a really good girl, Kasane-san.
Yeah, a good girl.
Eh? No, I'm not that good.
Ah.
They're aware of it...
Doing whatever she wants, she says...
p4
Eh?
Kasane-chan's going to live here?
Yeah.
How about it, Shion-chan?
Are there any rooms available?
Hmm.
There is technically someone who's moving out of their room at the start of the new year.
Room 103
Married
Miyako-sanThe start of the new year!
Congratulations!
That's such perfect timing!
You could almost call it destiny!
D-Destiny...!
...To be honest, up until just now,
I thought that I shouldn't be allowed to be this selfish.
...I thought that,
but for some reason,
I'm gradually feeling like it's okay.
Kasane-chan...
p5
That's right!
Of course it's okay!
Besides, if you think you're being selfish,
then what does that make me...?
Wh-What about me too...?
Incidentally, I'm not all that fussed about it.
Tsukkun...
But first,
we'll need to have a talk with Kasane-san's parents.
Yeah...
I guess so...
Ah, it's Mom.
Sorry, I need to answer this.
Go ahead.
U-Um,
Mom...
Yes, that's right...
Eh?
Yes...
Right.
Yeah, yeah...
Eh?
p6
Alright, I'll send it over...
Okay, see you soon...
Um.
?
They're coming over right now...
Eh? Your mother?
Um, no.
Both my parents...
That's why they told me to send them the address...
EEEEH!?
D-Don't tell me they're coming to take you back, Kasane-chan...!?
W-W-
We need to fight!!
No no.
Hold on a sec, okay?HanaTama have appeared!
This could be our chance.
Yep.
Once in a lifetime.
Our chance?
Our chance to beat them up?
Enough with the beating up.
We'll have Kasane-san get her feelings across clearly
and then ask them to let her live here clearly.
Okay?
Yep.
Clearly.
p7
I-
I wonder if they'll allow it...
Don't worry!
If you need precedent for a high schooler living on their own, I'm right here!
We have a reliable adult here too!
Eh? Me?
Yeah!
So don't you worry, Kasane-chan!
Shion-chan is sure to be able to convince your parents!
Shion-chan's amazing, after all!
H-
Hana-chan?
I-I see! Thank goodness...!
Please and thank you!
Eh...?
Heavy Responsibility
Hahaha. Do your best~
Help me, Hazuki-san.
~~~
...Alright!
Just wait a moment.
I need to prepare myself!
...?
p8
Wah~
Fufufu. How's do I look.
It's a suit from when I used to go job hunting, mind you.
Ooh, so cool!
You look so mature!
Fufu...
...
Hah~
...For some reason, wearing this reminds me of those days.
It's making me depressed.
Eh?
Aah...
Maybe I'll just go to sleep...
Sh-
Shion-chan?
What now?
I was really excited just a moment ago,
but now I'm gradually getting worried.
Shion-chaan
She's supposed to be a reliable adult, right...? Will she be able to persuade Kasane's parents!?
