Chapter 9 part 2
Dear Fragments
Translated by Kudou Omi
Note: To be honest, I haven’t really understood what Kaori said on page 55, so the translation isn’t clear. Gomen! Anyway I’m working on part 3! So please go on enjoying Yorozuya Toukaidou Honpo! ^____^
P38
Yoshitsune: "Wait! Himura! To go that far … aren’t you ashamed?"
Shinku: "That far?"
Yoshitsune: "Wha…!! You broke into Kaori’s room!!
P39
Yoshitsune: "You even cut Kaori’s heel! If he hadn’t paid attention, he may have been seriously wounded…"
Shinku: "It’s ridiculous, I have nothing to do with that stuff. When I was coming back to my room, you were the only one to be noisy."
Yoshitsune: "You brat…"
Shinku: "Listen…"
P40
Shinku: "I’ll fight to be in this commercial, but I don’t like this kind of method. I didn’t do it."
Yuuta: "Shinku is still a kid… It was probably not done to harm conciously. You should forgive him."
Yoshitsune: "It’s not that simple…"
P41
Yoshitsune: /Ghe… Kaori-chan… what a threatening glare… as if it said ‘don’t do anything unnecessary’… But… it’s enough!!/
Yuuta: "H…hey… Why don’t you stop him?"
Kaori: "It’s useless…"
Yukinobu: "Kyou! Where’s Yoshitsune-san?"
Kaori: "He just left. Yukinobu-san, what about having lunch together? I want to have a talk with you."
Yukinobu: "Yes…?"
P42
Shinku: "Man… How many time are you planning to follow me!?!"
Yoshitsune: "Ha… You realized I was here? But I was perfectly hiding myself."
Shinku: "Perfectly? Whatever I do, you really want to think I did it."
Yoshitsune: "You know, I…"
P43
Yoshitsune: /Letters?/ "Himura…Michiko?"
Shinku: "Ha… Don’t touch mother’s letters!!"
Yoshitsune: /Mother…?/
Shinku: "They’re dirty now!?"
Yoshitsune: /If he sends mail to his mother, then they don’t live together…?/
P44
Shinku: "Why… why are you making such a face?"
Yoshitsune: "No… nothing… You smiled with such a gentle expression… Is the person you wanted to show the commercial your mother?"
Shinku: "Wha…"
P45
Shinku: "It’s not your business!"
Yoshitsune: /He’s strong!/
Shinku: "You must think I’m just like any brat. To be happy when I receive a mail from my mother ."
Yoshitsune: /’Just like any brat’, like all brats do…/ "No."
Shinku: "Liar!!"
Yoshitsune: "But it’s true!!"
P46
Yoshitsune: "If I received letters from my parents, I would smile too. I don’t know if I would even cry of happiness." /But It’ll never happen…/
Shinku: "I guess I can’t help it… Why don’t we look after the real culprit together?"
Yoshitsune: "What!?"
Shinku: "You suspect me, and that’s irritating."
P47
Shinku: "Even if Kyou had refused participating to be in the commercial, it wouldn’t be as worth winning as it is now. It’s useful to have a direct rival"
Yoshitsune: /That kid… he’s got some good sense…/
Kaori: *flashback* "I don’t think Himura-kun would do that."
Yoshitsune: /Maybe what Kaori said was true…/
Shinku: "Hey! Hasn’t Kyou a key for his room?"
Yoshitsune: /That’s right! Kaori used a key to open his room! Why did I forget such an important thing!/
P48
Yoshitsune: /Really… I just can’t do anything properly when a case is linked to Kaori…Calm down… Think… What Himura said… You must get your key from the reception, and then give it back when you leave. Was Kaori’s key stolen during today’s audition?/ "The discover of a place just next to the studio!!" /Or did they use the key before? But I don’t know who used this room before kaori…/ "Yes? Ha! Yukinobu!"
Yukinobu: "Don’t repeat this to Kaori… I have the name of the persons who used his room since the last three days."
P49
Yoshitsune: "You know who used his room?"
Yukinobu: "Let me tell you their names: yesterday was the actress Mizuno Asami. Two days ago was the actor Yasumiya Youichi. Three days ago was… the idol Sayama Yuuta."
Yoshitsune: /W… Wait a minute…? Just after Kaori fell in the stairs, he said…/
Yuuta: *flashback* "Do you mean you’ll look for the one who broke into your room?"
Yoshitsune: /’The one who broke into your room’, I had never talked about it! I have to hurry up and find Sayama!/
P50
Yoshitsune: /Kaori…!!/
Yuuta: "Wa… It’s really dirty! Are we really going to be photographed for a magazine in such a place?"
Man: "It’s the perfect place! Nothing’s gonna happen, don’t worry."
Yuuta: "Kyou! What about having a look inside until preparations are achieved? I can’t believe it’s in such a state of degradation! There must be something interesting in there! On top of this board, maybe… too high…"
P51
Kaori: "Here."
P52
Kaori: "Pfew… I see, it was stuck to the shelves, so that it would fall if someone tries to take it."
P53
Yuuta: "Are you alright, Kyou!?"
Kaori: "You did this, didn’t you?"
Yuuta: "Ha… You found out. If you don’t talk, it’ll be the end."
P54
Kaori: "When did I catch your attention?"
Yuuta: "When I became a candidate, you hadn’t entered the audition yet. But when the office chief went to recommend me to the sponsor with a magazine, there were pictures of you inside. The sponsor decided to support you instead. You were so lucky to have caught his attention in a single glance! Then I made a decision…"
P55
Yuuta: "I have been thinking about what to do if you won…"
Kaori: "What made you think this way? If what disturbs you disappeared. It’s already too late. Imagine… If I disappeared now, there would probably be no one left to bother you. But until when are you going to hide yourself from reality? I know someone like that. But what will eventually remain… are only regrets."
Yuuta: "Shu… SHUT UP!"
P56
Yuuta: "Wha…"
Yoshitsune: "Fool! You should watch out what’s behind you!"
P57
Yoshitsune: "I’m sorry, Kaori, I’m late. I was collecting keys."
Kaori: "Keys?"
Yoshitsune: "He used spare keys to enter your room. He had himself used this same room three days ago. The checking is severe when you give back your key. But there’s a simple way to keep it. I’ve investigated, and there’s a place where you can have spare keys done. I asked the store’s clerk. He said ‘I don’t know that guy’."
Yuuta and kaori: "Uh?"
Yuuta: "Then you can’t charge me for the room…"
Yoshitsune: "But…"
P58
Yoshitsune: "There were witnesses. There were two young women who saw you leaving the store… In passing, they were fans of yours. They said they hoped it’ll help you."
P59
Yuuta: "I… I see…I see…"
Yoshitsune: /Then I understood… why Kaori had told me to let it down. He was conscious that the culprit was someone he knows./
P60
Yoshitsune: /But… if he had positively concluded this case himself, he should have trusted Yuuta to give it up. It’s no good if he doesn’t realizes this./ "Hey!" /Moreover… / "It’s a chance I didn’t let it down."
Kaori: "You’re very strong , Shima-san…"
Yoshitsune: "Of course! I always feel bad when you’re in danger."
P61
Kaori: "I understand."
Yoshitsune: "What do we do with him?"
Shinku: "Leave him alone for now."
Kaori: "Himura-kun?"
Yoshitsune: "He’s the one who told me about Sayama’s schedule. Thanks!"
Shinku: "I only did it for me. Moreover, my mother’s a great fan of Kyou."
Kaori: "Uh? My fan?"
Shikun: "She wanted me to enter show business because of you. If I had been chosen for the commercial instead of you, she would have congratulated me!"
P62
Shinku: "I wanted to use mass communication to catch my mother’s attention."
Yoshitsune: "Uh? But what about the mails she sends?"
Shinku: "They’re sent each month on the same day, but the address and the postmark are false. I can’t meet her. I wonder where she is…"
Kaori: "But why did she leave?"
Shinku: "Because of that fucking father of mine!"
Yoshitsune: Fu… fucking…?
P63
Shinku: "He lived only for work. We always felt his self pride when he talked. My mother came to hate it."
Yoshitsune: "It isn’t simple… He worked for the happiness of his family… didn’t he?"
Shinku: "I know that! What I can’t forgive him is that when mom left, he did nothing to look for her! I can’t stand that!"
Yoshitsune: "Okay, we’ll help you!!"
Shinku: "What!?"
Kaori: "Wait a minute…when you say ‘we’…"
Yoshitsune: "It’s a decision I made as Yorozuya Toukaidou Honpo’s boss!!"
P64
Kaori: /That’s it! He can’t help with this bad habit!/ "There’s no official request!"
Yoshitsune: "But he needs help! Isn’t it enough!?"
Kaori: "You’d volunteer even if you’re broke!!"
Shinku: "Uh?"
Yoshitsune: "Now that I’ve heard everything, I can’t just let him like that!"
Kaori: "Could you stop making that face?" /I can’t do anything each time it’s about family…/ "…alright!"
Yoshitsune: "I knew you’d agree, Kaori-chan!!"
Shinku: "Wait! I won’t forgive you for the commercial, I don’t want your mercy!"
P65
Kaori: "I merely help Shima-san. I don’t wish to work with you."
Yoshitsune: "Kaori said you weren’t that bad a kid, you also realize that."
Shinku: "Do as you want!!"
Yoshistune: /His character also considerably improved / "Well then, let’s see if we can find a clue where you live!"
Shinku: "Ha! I’ve got mail! What did she write today…"
P66
Shinku: "What the hell…!!"
Yoshitsune: "Shinku…!?"
Mail: Good bye, Shinku. This is the last letter.
Shinku: "It’s so sudden… why…"
Kaori: "The last letter…?"
