Vol 1 Chapter 22 (1/2)
Chapter 22 - Sealed Memories 3
I managed to barely stand up whilst supporting my knee, and after slapping my knee a few times to ensure the feeling of soreness had disappeared from kneeling the entire night, I stretched my arms lazily as i turned to notice Asaka still crookedly sitting on the ground with teary eyes staring towards her knee.
”Asaka no big baka, who asked you to act cool, accompanying me for the entire night.”
”Hiroto............” Wronged, Asaka had her eyes reddening alarmingly fast; she bit her lips in order not to let her tears drip out.
”Come here, big baka, climb onto me, I'll carry you back.”
”Really! Hiroto!!!”
”What are you still dazing around for, hurry up unless you want me to leave you here alone and going back myself.”
I struggled to carry Asaka as i walked on the path along the back hills , while panting i still noticed that there's still a long stretch of road beneath the hills.
”Hiroto, why don't I climb down and walk myself.”
”No!! How can I let an injured girl walk by herself!!”
I tried to act cool and persevered on, as I walked slowly with unsteady steps along the pathway.
”Hiroto is sooo goood eheheheh.” Asaka rested her head on my back and said.
”Laughing like that makes you look like an
idiot, sheesh.”
”Did not!!!”
Along the way throughout I kept on talking with Asaka, and my attention had completely been distracted; by the time I've reached home and laid onto bed my clothing had completely been drenched with sweat, while Asaka sat beside me, using a napkin to tenderly wipe the sweat off my face.
Suddenly Kazai rushed into my room, and shouted to me lying on the bed: ”WAKA-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
(TL: Kazai is j.a.panese for ”Fire”)
I always felt rather annoyed towards Kazai's fiery temperament, and said: ”Kazai, can you lower your volume every time you called for me.”
”I'm sorry waka-sama, but this is really an urgent matter, I'll need to bring ojou-sama away, today is the day of choosing the shrine maiden, and only Asaka is not present right now.”
(TL: nah, i won't be using miko (j.a.panese word for shrine maiden))
Asaka slapped her head like she had just remembered something and said: ”Ah, today is the day of choosing the shrine maiden, it's very important.
Feeling a little tired, I said: ”Then Asaka you'll just go ahead, I'm feeling a little tired, after I've woken up from a short nap I'll go look for you.”
”Mm, mm. Then Hiroto you must quickly come find me then~”
