Girls x Vampire ch12: Gotou Yura's Regret

p1

To Gotou Yura,
I'm Gotou Yura.
And you?
it was a destined meeting.
Ah, erm...

I'm... Aihara Wakana.
Hey, this place is boring, right?

Let's go over there.
Eh?

p2

I'm used to this place.
Third time for me.
It's your first time here, right?
Yes.

It's boring since there's nothing but adults around.
All I get to do is smile.

But if I so much as sigh, I get yelled at later for having a terrible attitude.
Erm...

Ah.

p3

She smiled...

You have pretty eyes.

Eh... Really?
Yeah.

p4

Thanks...

Hey, Waka, will you come again?
In fact, let's hang out together next time.
W-Wawah!
It was as if

I had found a gemstone
of my very own.

p5

Your rank's gone down again.

You've been spending less time studying, haven't you?
If you drop again in the end-of-term exams, you'll be quitting your club.

These grades are just...

Yura-chan.

p6

Good morning.

Your rank's gone down again.
If you drop again in the end-of-term exams, you'll be...

Being with her became painful.

I couldn no longer take Waka's hand.
I realised there was a distance between us.
From my point of view, Waka's smile was somewhat stiff.
It was clearly something that was made to answer her parents' expectations.
Even so, she stood on the "adult side" that I was alienated from.

p7

And so, I ran away.

My friendship with Wakana
and the relationship between our respective parents
eventually fell ceased to be.

Even so, I ended up enrolling at the high school run by Wakana's parents.
I guess I still had lingering regrets.

It's Wakana.

p8

My master...<3
Argh, geez!
Don't cling onto me!
It's hard to walk!

Aah, don't be like that~
...Hm??

p9

I've never seen her smile like that.
A melty smile that doesn't seem dissatisfied in the slightest...
Wait, hold on.

Who is that woman!?

Why are they so friendly...?
No, it's more than that. They're as close as a lovey-dovey couple...
What's going on here...?

Something is definitely off.
That woman must be deceiving Waka, who knows nothing of the world, so she can use her.

I need to do something.

p10

And so,
I ended up becoming her kin too...

That being said, it's not like there's been any changes in my lifestyle,
and although Ruruna's attitude pisses me off, she's not particularly scary.
More importantly...
And then,

my master was all~

Hah...
Are you listening, Yura-chan?
Yeah, yeah, I'm listening.

p11

Geez.

I never thought

the day would come where I'd be walking alongside Wakana
like this again.

Even though I'm the one
who got hurt on my own and put distance between us.
...But...
You've stopped quitting right away too, Yura-chan.

p12

When it comes to letting my master suck your blood, that is.

The one who made that wish a reality wasn't me,
but that vampire...
Hey, Waka.
Yes?

p13

It's nothing?
Eh? What is it?
Not saying.
Yura-chan~?

If it were just me persevering on my own,
I don't think I would've become friends with Waka again.
It's all thanks to that vampire... much as it pisses me off to say.

You really haven't changed since way back, Waka.
Eeh~?

p14

I'll be in your care again,
Waka.
...Yeah!
