I'm sorry for the delay in translating this chapter as I've been shopping too much ever since the exam was over and I've just realized that it will be 13th Dec tomorrow which means i will be getting new issues of BetsuComi and Betsuma with new chapters of Dengki Daisy, Heroine Shikakku, Black Bird, DEAR and Kimi no Tonari thus, I've decided to do only brief summary for this chappie. Hope you don't mind!
The cover for chapter 6.
This chapter starts with Kazusa calling Rei and Banri over to the temple to help clean up the temple. He told them it helps to cleanse their heart too, like a kind of training.
Rei is trying hard to as normally in front of Banri and she wonders if she's doing it well. Rei checks on her eye while she's cleaning a mirror like item as she's been crying all night after confessing to Banri and she wonders if her eyes are still swollen. Kazusa asked Rei to buy some drinks back for them.
Rei looks at Kazusa and recalls what happened yesterday. She didn't expect "as per normal" to be this difficult even though both Banri and Kazusa are treating her as per normal but Rei feels that it's still different. She hopes that they can return back to how they were but she doesn't know how.
She wonders if they can ever return to how they were. Now, only Banri and Kazusa are left in the temple cleaning up. Kazusa called Banri but he did not respond and Kazusa hit Banri with a pole (or something). Kazusa deliberately send Rei away so that he can have a talk with Banri.
Banri: "You have something to tell me?"
Kazusa: "Yup."
Banri: "Kazusa knows too right? That i like Suzuki-san and that is why i can't accept Rei. She will be less hurt if i let her know now. Kazusa can now argue with Rei without reservation right?"
Banri: "A rival, even though i have no plans on being one, being erased, isn't it the best situtation? With Rei's broken heart and you can comfort her...."
Kazusa: "Banri, answer me honestly. Do you like Rei as a woman?"
Banri: "What did you just said? She is nothing to be other than my childhood friend."
Kazusa: "Is that so." and he punches Banri!
Kazusa: "To receive sympathy from others is something i dislike most. If there is something i hope for, i will try my best to achieve it, don't you know that"
Banri: "I knew that every well since we've been together for such a long time."
Kazusa: "Why are you always like this? When you actually like Rei!"
Banri: "My bad, I can't reciprocate with an answer which you expect. Both of you are important to me."
Flash back of Banri, Kazusa and Rei when they were kids.
Rei and Kazusa found Banri and he was crying. He was waiting for his mother who told Banri to wait for her to return to pick him up however, she never return. Everyone told little Banri that his mother is not coming but he still insist on waiting for her.
Little Rei held little Banri's hand and told him that they should search for Banri's mother instead of just waiting. While little Kazusa told little Banri not to be lonely. These made little Banri feels that he's not all alone in this world.
Banri: "Both of you saved me during that time and that is why Rei alone can't be important to me."
Banri: "To me, both of you are as important and i can't choose one between the both of you. Regardless, i want the three of us to be together because i like the both of you."
Kazusa: "Stop it, it's getting disgusting that a guy is confessing to me."
Kazusa: "You've seem to "fight" well." (I think he meant that Banri has explained himself clearly."
Banri: "I'm too unpleasant to be accept right? You seems to give all sorts of excuse earlier. I'll leave Rei in your care."
Kazusa: "She rejected me though."
Banri: "HUH?"
Banri: "What is she thinking?"
Kazusa: "It's not the time for this now. You should know what our princess is thinking about right now don't you?"
Rei on her way back to the temple and she's still thinking about how to return back to how they were previously. She hopes that there will be a chance, like a fight and how they can patch back soon after a fight and she saw Banri and Kazusa in the mist of a fight!
Rei runs forward to stop them and asked why are they in a fight.
Kazusa: "Banri ate the sweets which are meant to be offerings."
Banri: "Kazusa ate me ice which was an limited edition ice and i was really looking forward to eating it!"
Rei soon realized that they might be "fighting" for her sake.
Banri: "Don't just daze there, come help me!"
Kazusa: "Rei! Help me and don't escape!"
Rei: "I'm helping you Kazusa!" Rei's thoughts "Thank you. I love the you both."
Banri: "Are you fine with now?"
Kazusa: "Who told you i've gave up? Even if it's going to take another 10 years, who do you think is going to run away."
Banri: "That's scary. It's not, it isn't Kazusa. You should thank me since i'm not going to be your rival."
Kazusa: "You retreated willingly."
Rei caught up with them: "What are you both talking about?"
Both Banri and Kazusa: "About detoxification."
Rei wonders why they both of them seems to be more than close suddenly, even though they were close previously. She's a little jealous.
Things are changing a little by little this summer.
***
Glad that they are able to resolve the issue. I'm a little jealous of Rei to have two great guys, childhood friends who understands her so well and are both so protective of her! hahah. and i don't know who to root for now as i think i starting to sway towards Kazusa! I like man who try hard to achieve what he aims for and neext chappie seems to be about Kazusa. I wonder what actions are he going to follow up with pursuing Rei and will there be some pages on Yukari? She hasn't stir up any trouble since 2 chapters ago though.
