Bizarre Love Triangle - Zetro Translation

——–I really appreciate it.

Akiha said this in a voice that didn’t sound very grateful.

However, that’s her natural disposition I guess.

I’m sure there is no lie in her words.

[I’m also really happy that you are getting along with that child.thank you very much]

[It’s nothing to thank me for, I just wanted to do it, that’s all. Oh, do you want some milk?]

[No, I’m fine.I’ll just have it. You know, I’m grateful that you feel that way about Haruka. It’s so valuable that it has nothing to do with a sense of duty or justice. Wow, this coffee is delicious.]

[Right? I also sometimes come here after school.]

Somewhere in the store, an antique clock chimed its bell as if to chime in with me.

A little early before school, around 8 o’clock in the morning.

There were four customers in this little old but cozy coffee shop near the school: a woman in a suit, a young man with a bad sleeping habit, and us.

Perhaps it was the shop manager’s habit.

Antique clocks of various shapes and sizes were displayed here and there in the store. As far as I could see, none of them seemed to be showing the correct time.

And talking about the shop manager in question, he was sitting at the counter in the back of the store, wearing a worn shirt that was as antique as the clocks, idly looking at the morning paper.

[Now then to the real issue at hand]

Akiha put the coffee on the table and looked at me.

[Haruka requested me to teach Yano-kun the details again.]

[Oh,I see]

[Surely if we talk about that child, she might have forgotten to tell you all the details. That’s why I’m going to explain to you [Our arrangements] again, even though you may already know it.]

Minase [Good evening, I am Akiha.Tomorrow morning, I have something I want to talk to you about, can you spare some of your time?]

When I received such a message on LINE last night, I braced myself to see what would happen.

Perhaps…….don’t enter your nose in other affairs too much or maybe she is angry?

I wondered if they would reject me for not getting involved….

However, now I see.

It was something arranged by Haruka.

I guess she made time for me and Akiha to be alone together.

As I was thanking Haruka in my mind, Akiha started the explanation.

[Haruka may have already conveyed this to you but each of our personalities at present lasts for around 1 hundred and thirty one minutes.]

Feeling a little embarrassed now that I was facing my unrequited love, I began to imprint the contents in my mind.

[I can watch , but it’s going to be tough to watch ]

[ I see,one hundred and thirty one minutes.Does it vary a lot from day to day?]

[Yes, depending on our moods or various influences affecting us.After that, we don’t share our experiences or memories with each other.I don’t know the experience of Haruka and reverse also apply for her.That’s why Haru and I write down what happened on this smartphone every day, and share our memories as much as possible.]

Saying so, she showed the smartphone in her right hand.

[Basically, we write down what happened that day at the end of the day, but for urgent matters like conversations with classmates or requests from teachers, I make a file for it and check it every time we switch.

[That’s……..kind of a hassle, isn’t it?]

[Yes, it is. Besides, Haruaki often misses things and forgets to check information, so honestly I was thinking of more better ways]

Even as she said this, a hint of a smile appeared on Akiha’s cheeks.

Apparently, Akiha doesn’t hate such Haruka.

Indeed I couldn’t bring myself to hate her for a gap like that.

[And what happened at the time when we changed……. Yano-kun already knows that from the day before yesterday’s morning.Do you remember what happened that time?]

[Yeah, I was a little surprised wondering what was going on……]

[Yeah. You didn’t look at my strange face? Haruka gets angry when people see her face when she switches places……]

[Ah, that was all right.its just that her expression changes a little]

[Then I’m glad to hear that]

As if in sympathy with the relieved Akiha, A pigeon flew out from an antique clock near my seat.It chirped four times and went back into the clock, but the actual time was past eight o’clock.

[And then… This is the exchange diary.]

She then pulled out a notebook from her bag and handed it to me.

[It’s really a girl’s thing, isn’t it? But it would be great if you could go along with her]

[Ok…]

when I recieved it, I thought…….

It was a very fancy notebook.

A notebook with ruled lines, but there were bear characters drawn all over it. …… I thought that only junior high school students use this kind of notebook.

I opened it to look inside and saw that Akiha and Haruka had already written yesterday’s journal.

April 10th (Tuesday) Haruka

Today is a memorable day.

Yano-kun from my class is going to help me hide my double identity!

I’m so happy! Yay!

Moreover, he said he’s my friend. oooo (tears)

I have to do my best not to bother him.

And then since we are going to start exchanging diaries, first I will introduce myself.

I’m Minase Haruka.Age is……..16 years old?I was born when Akiha was 9 years old, so I guess I should be 7 years old.The thing I like is manga , I’m bad at dealing with bugs or physical exercise——-.

April 10th Tuesday, Akiha

The Mal Waldron record I had ordered arrived.

I had the CD of “Left Alone”, but I like to be able to listen to my favorite works in the medium they were intended for when they were recorded

And I also like the cover design for this album.

I’ll decorate it above the chest, between Coltrane’s Blue Train and Getz’s West Coast Jazz.

Now, I have decided to start exchanging diaries invited by Haruka, but I wonder what kind of things are better to write——–.

I like this one.

That’s what I was thinking as I looked through it.

Perhaps a little but I think I will be happy to read it everyday.

I’ve never been interested in the diaries of my friends on SNS before.

[They just write about anything with a exaggeration]

I thought that and not even once I was excited about them.

And the content of Haruka’s and Akiha’s were no different from those on social networking sites. In fact, the content may be more limpid then the contents available throughout the world via internet I’m not interested in.

Even so, my eyes were strangely attracted to the simple letters written on this notebook which looked like a model for dictation.

Maybe that’s because I like Akiha and because I thought of Haruka as my important friend.

[………but still]

I looked up from the pages of my notebook at the sound of Akiha’s voice……I was surprised

[……….is it really okay with Yano-kun?]

I can see the nervousness and hesitation on Akiha’s face when she said that.

I’ve never seen this expression on her face before.

[…….what is?]

[That…… getting along with Haruka]

[………what do you mean?]

I didn’t get the meaning very well.
