Parfait 27 Page 1: Daiya: Hasn't she gotten a little...younger? Ichi: She looks like a Kokeshi. [a Kokeshi is a Japanese doll with round features and straight bangs] //snicker// Fuuko: Shut up! Leave me alone! Page 2: Fuuko (Narration): We're still going to school, but summer's started. Fuuko: Maybe I should have done something to cover it up before coming. Fuuko: Are the bangs THAT weird? Daiya & Ichi: They're weird. Fuuko: Right on que. Page 3: Fuuko: Then I'll call you over when I'm done with the sports club. Fuuko: What about you, Daiya? Fuuko: You're going home at lunch, right? Daiya: Yeah, because I have work. Fuuko: Oh, so you're the only one working today? Daiya: Yep, seems like it. Fuuko: (Yeah, I guess it makes sense that we won't always have the same shifts.) Fuuko: (I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.) Fuuko: (Well, I guess it doesn't really matter.) Daiya: The bangs, Fuuko: What? Daiya: Once you get used to it, they're kinda cute. Page 4: //blush// Fuuko: (This--This guy~how dense is he?!) Fuuko: (Don't tell someone she's cute when you've broken her heart!) Girl: Hello-- Daiya: You bought your outfit? Daiya: You look so cute--- //blush// Fuuko: (This hateful guy~) //fighting back tears// Fuuko: (but I can't hate him!) Page 5: //sniff// Fuuko: (..I can't believe my heart's still beating after all that's happened.) //hit// Girls: Kyaaa~ Daiya: Did you see? Did you see that just now? Girls: We saw it---it was awesome!! Kyaa~ Girls: Kyaa~Kyaa~ Fuuko: (Things haven't changed at all since I've joined the club.) //sigh// Fuuko: (Even after I bought these tennis clothes, I'm still picking up balls.) Page 6: Akio: Did you get those bangs as a joke? //whisper// Akio: Nice position there-- Fuuko: (Nothing's changed but,) Fuuko: (it's different from back then.) //step// Page 7: //heart beat// Fuuko: (You're so cool, damn you--) Daiya: Ye--s Fuuko: (...but..) Fuuko: (I shouldn't be acting this way for long.) Page 8: Fuuko: (Because that would mean) Fuuko: (pulling the breaks when I've just started to move forward.) Fuuko: (To move forward--) Fuuko: (that means...) Girl: Grade tens, please gather! //whistle// Girl: From today on, you'll be practicing how to play. //tap// Page 9: //bounces off// Fuuko: Whoops //hits rim of tennis racket// Fuuko: Gyaa! //swishes past// Fuuko: (Huh--?) Daiya: Keep your eyes on the ball. [remembers Daiya saying: "Keep--"] //step// Page 10: [remembers Daiya saying: "--your eyes on the ball."] //hit// //bounces// Fuuko: It...went..in... Fuuko: It went in!!! //jumps up and down// Girl: Err..it's not really something you should get so hyped up over. Page 11: Fuuko (Narration): That means-- //turns// [sign reads "Library"] Fuuko: Wah! //crash// Page 12: Ichi: Can't you come in like a normal person?! //snickers// Fuuko: You were totally scared. Fuuko: No fair! You're doing your homework! Ichi: (Why isn't it fair?) Fuuko: How far along are you? Ichi: About halfway. Fuuko: No way! Fuuko: Oh, what did you say? "I'll let you copy"? Ichi: Want to get some medicine for your ears? Fuuko: .....how kind of you... Fuuko: (Shoot...) Fuuko: Why don't we eat? //places bento on the table// Ichi: I forgot my lunch. Page 13: Fuuko: What? That's not good when you're going to be swimming. Fuuko: You'll be in trouble if you swim on an empty stomach. Ichi: I'm going to go to the corner store. Fuuko: I wouldn't mind trading half of my lunch for your homework. Ichi: I'm going. Fuuko: Ah! Ichi: You can start eating ahead of me. //sticks tongue out// //sound of beetles// Fuuko: (He really is straight-collared.) Fuuko: (It's pretty obvious from the uncute stationery he uses.) Page 14: Fuuko: (I should have done my homework at home and come to school after lunch.) //yawns// Fuuko: (Oh right, the apartment's really hot.) Fuuko: This feels so good... //step step// Page 15: Fuuko: I'd like some picked vegetables please.. //mumble mumble// Ichi: Ha-- //laughing// Ichi: (She's eating curry--?) [He probably assumes this because with Japanese curry, there often comes a side dish of picked vegetables. It compliments nicely with curry ^^] Fuuko: Daiya.. Page 16: //slam// //slobber// Page 17: Ichi: N---oo---!!! Ichi: The legs are supposed to be like THIS! Fuuko: No---I'm drowning!! Ichi: What's with those hands! //slap// Ichi: This way! //swallowing water// Fuuko: Gyaaa~ Guy: Are you sure we shouldn't help her out? Fuuko: No--- Page 18: //tired out// Fuuko: Why are you so strict...am I even alive? Ichi: The goal for this summer is 25 metres. Fuuko: No way! Impossible! Ichi: I thought Ichi: weak words like "impossible" and "giving up" weren't in your dictionary. Fuuko: I can't believe you still remember that. [the small words reads: "Even the readers have forgotten", then the small note at the bottom reads: "refer to volume 2" ^^] Ichi: Well, it's because of my memory skills, that I've gotten these grades. Fuuko: Okay--whatever you say. Page 19: Ichi: ...What are you planning on doing about Daiya? Fuuko: ...Sorry. Fuuko: I have to make a correction in my dictionary. [remembers back to herself saying "That means..."] Fuuko: I'm going to give him up. Page 20: Fuuko: But it's not Fuuko: a weak "giving up". Fuuko: It's strong. Page 21: Ichi: I see.. Ichi: then you're in for a lonely summer. Fuuko: I won't be lonely! I have a lot of stuff I have to do! Fuuko: And, if worst comes to worst, I could always hang out with you. [thinks Ichi would react by saying "Who would want to hang out with you?!"] //silence// Fuuko: (Huh?) Ichi: I don't mind. Page 22: Ichi: I'll hang out with you Ichi: anywhere you want.
