Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou by Tsuda Masami Source: Tankubon 9 Translated: ChasChas Act 38 Act 38 bunkasai . 1 cultural festival . 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou is owned by Tsuda Masami and Hakusensha. This is a fan translation and no money is being made off of this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The entire YingYang Member was scolded by the teachers for their childish prank to crash the concert. But... Member1 : "Hmm, it's been long time since I got scolded in the school office." Member2 : "Bring backs memory, doesn't it?" Kazma : 'They don't feel even the slightest guilt...' Then Tsubsa, who found Kazma through her instinct... ahem, runs into Kazma's arms. Now everyone who had been watching him with awe is now watching him with even more respect. Student1 : "I SEE, THE VOCAL AND TSUBA ARE..." Student2 : "THAT'S YINGYANG'S KAZMA! WHAT A LEVEL HE HAS FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND!" Kazma : '?! It's not that...!" Yukino and her family visits kendo club's cake shop to find Arima at the counter. He was specifically posted there by the club captain. Then Tonami and Asaba comes to visit him. Yukino finds out the kendo club captain's rather spendid plot as she watches every girl in the shop turns they attention towards the three boys with hearts in the eyes. She eats some of the cake, and is shocked to find out how good it is, despite being made by 20-boys-in-their-smelly-kendo-suits. Later, Tsukino and Kano wonder around the festival by themselves. Two boys see them, and ask them out. The girls refuse, but they remain persistent. Arima sees this, and steps inbetween. To the boys, Arima looks like a wussy(despite being more handsome than them), and threatens him. But Arima says, "these girls, are (like) MY SISTERS!" Tsukino and Kano is very touched by this. Then the others show up. Tonami : "What are you guys?" <-- 6'1", a basketball player, and strong. Asaba : "Arima, Tsukino, Kano. Did they bother you?" <-- 5'11", strong enough to defend a lady. Kazma : "Arima, who are these guys?" <-- himself doesn't fight, but he's with his gang. YingYangMember1 : "Hey hey." YingYangMember2 : "Let's take care of this over there." <-- lots of experience in street fights(when young, they were punks.) Needless to say, the (poor) boys run away. Asaba, Tonami, and Kazma surrounds Arima, saying how glad they are that three(Arima, Tsukino, and Kano) weren't hurt. Arima : "......" <-- the winner of Japan High School Kendo Tournament. Later, four boys(Arima, Asaba, Kazma, and Tonami) sit down and talk. Arima : (To Kazma) "You came to see Tsuba in the play, too?" Kazma : "Yeah, I am very excited." Tonami : 'Who is this guy...' Asaba : 'Arima is being too friendly with him...' Kazma : "I am glad to meet you again. I think you can be good friends. Weird, isn't it? We only met once." Arima : (happily) "No, not at all. I want to be friends with you too..." Asaba and Tonami are now shocked. Tonami : (jealously) "Arima, this guy... who is he?" Arima : "Tsuba's brother." Kazma : "Nice to meet you." Asaba, Tonami : "..." (ignoring) Arima : (\./+) "Be polite." Asaba, Tonami : (crying inwardly) 'Why can't you show us such face for us???' Everyone but Maho in Yukino's group is now final preparation stage. Then a boy with glasses shows up. He is Kyou, older brother of Aya, who is helping with the BGM. Yukino finds him rather kind. Then she sees Rika, blushing in front of him. 'Ah-ha...' Yukino goes out to look for Maho, who still hasn't showed up. She finds Maho in the washroom. Apparently she is really not good with stress. She looks horrible. Yukino, with no avail, tries to cheer her up. They come out, then Maho sees a man, who is waving at her. Maho : "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Why did you come? I told you not to come!" Man : "I couldn't stop myself, wanting to see your first debut on the stage... ^^" Maho : "Why are you doing things people told you not to??" Man : "Hey hey. Come on. I couldn't even sleep at all last night worrying about your performance today. I watched baseball, I rented a video, I went on the internet, I went out to eat a beef rice bowl... I couldn't calm myself down." Maho : "LIAR! YOU JUST SPENT ALL NIGHT PLAYING!! WITH THAT SADISTIC FACE OF YOURS, HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A THING! YOU REALLY MAKE ME MAD!!" Man : "Calm down. An actress should smile~." Maho : "FINE, BE TAHT WAY. BUT... you won't be able to say such insulting words after this. Let's go Yukino." Yukino : (Who has been dumbstruck till now...) "Ye, yeah." Yukino learns that the man was actually Maho's boyfriend. She realizes that he came to tease her, so Maho can relax. Maho knows this, too. Two, now relaxed, walk toward the stage... It's almost time. The cast, all dressed up, gets ready for the showdown. Even Aya's nervous, since this is the story she wrote. With their family, friends, and boyfriends watching, they walk up to the stage. It's showtime... I will make this in the play script form, since it will be easier for both me and the readers... I will skip the reaction from the audience though, except the vital parts. Ren Crowford : Miyazawa Yukino Neo-model, May's boyfriend, Family Doctor : Izawa Maho Antique, Rosemary, May : Shibahime Tsubasa {spotlight on Ren} Ren : Since unknown time. The snow of steel comes down in my heart. It never stop pouring down. I want to be happy. And I wanted to make someone happy. That's all I wanted. ...From where did I go wrong? {lights off} {lights on, Antique, Ren, Neomodel standing} Neomodel : The year 2xxx, the humanity finally created the androids. Antique : One in each house... Half of the world population has become filled with the androids. NeoModel : PC, and the security systems etc, all the 'convenience' upto this point has been inside of the androids. Ren : If the human just says "wake me up at 7 in the morning," when that person wakes up, warm breakfast and well-ironed suit is waiting for the one. Antique : You can see diligence of the business androids in the office. In the evening, the smell of food made by the androids will tickle your nose. All Three : Now they are human's best partner. Without them, they can't live. {lights off} {lights on} {Ren's labotory. on the left side there is a small bed with glass cover. Ren is sleeping inside. Music plays, and the glass cover opens. Ren wakes up.} Ren : Yawn~. It's Putini. Beautiful. For waking up from 80 years of cybergenically frozen sleep it's the best song to hear. Who could it be. Preparing my favourite song when I open my eyes. Well... there are only me and Antique here-. Can she do such a thoughtful thing? Of course. That junk. She can do things when she wants to. I should compliment her. {Ren opens the drawer. Inside, powered-down Antique is sitting} Ren : Which one was the remote? Was it this? {TV turns on} Ren : OOPS! No. It's TV remote. This is airconditioner's. Boy I became dumb. Sleeping for 80 years... Ah, this is the one. Power on! {Antique opens its eyes. It makes some noise like almost-broken-down car. It coughs a little, while gasping.} Ren : You okay? Even though you look like a child, you are the most antique one too... Antique : Did you enjoy your sleep? Master Ren. Ren : Did you? Antique. It's been 80 years. How is your condition? Antique : ...... {Antique tears a phonebook apart. Knocks down a bookcase.} Ren : It's good to see that you are healthy, Antique. By the way, did you choose this song? You are still very useful if you can do thoughtful things like this. Antique : ............ Your breakfast time. Today's menu is cafe'ole and Honey toast and Ham'nEgg.(I don't if "cafe'ole" is right spelling... just think of it as a normal coffee.) Ren : What today's menu. That's all you can cook. I inputed 50 recipe into your memory! But you still feed me the same thing everyday. I want to drink black coffee! Make it black. Antique : Oops, I put some milk. Ren : Grrr~ she's like this again. Beside you are a taste-blind. If I want to eat something different I have to cook myself~. Damn it~. Stupid robot!! Why do the human has to suffer like this instead? Antique : Your meal is ready. Ren : Yeah, yeah. Thank you for the food. Gak~ it's awful. {sees Antique staring at him} Hmm? What's wrong? Antique : {smiling} Somehow~ it seems~ I am... hungry too? Ren : -.-+; Don't you think maybe it's ME actully does all the works around here? Doesn't it seem so? Antique : It does not, Master. Ren : Sigh... it's shameful. Ren Crowfold the famous young genius robotic engineer on the Earth, is now being fiddled around by this old idiotic robot. Of course... I earned it. You are the first android I created... I have made so many useful and smart android after that but the one that doesn't make be bored is only you. Of course you don't understand what I mean by that... Antique : Thank you, Master Ren. Ren : Hmm~ it's weird. Antique has intelligence of 5 years-old child. It can't possibly have the high-intellic capability to play an opera for its master when he wakes up. Then how? Maybe when I was sleeping, somebody...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Homepage: http://karekano.hazydaze.net/ Email at: lostin[a]hazydaze.net Email translator at: chaspark@hotmail.com Date: June 8, 2000
