The beginning of the fifth lunar month.
Such a wonderful and dear day it is.
A lovely holiday that allows you to indulge in either reading novels until late at night or watching movies until dawn.
Consume!
Consume the stories!
Being single is the best! I can use the time allotted to me to the fullest.
Following the voice in my heart, I start an extremely irregular life starting from Sunday. Strictly speaking, it is from the previous night itself.
At the dinner table the day just before Golden Week, my father suddenly said that he didn’t want to go out because it would be crowded during these consecutive holidays. Looked cool after a long time.
I felt a little of my father’s dignity.
Me and my dad love to stay at home.
While mother and onee-chan, loves to travel out.
This was the deep-rooted confrontational structure that lies in our house.
The capitalists and communists.
We got to watch out for that secret police!
Nn, Which side is the capitalist camp, you ask?
Shut it!
I want to stay at home!
I don’t want to go into the crowd!
[TL note: Hitogomi… She literally said that. It means ‘Garbage made of peoples’]
I will protect my 4 walls!
Below is the conversation that happened without me.
MY mother said, “Even so, it’s the holidays, so I want to go somewhere,” and then onee-chan followed up, “Everyone at school was making a fuss about the overseas and the too hot, hot springs.”
“That being said, almost all places are crowded during Golden Week. I am sorry, but I don’t want to be trapped in a road jam while on our way to enjoy the vacation. Since I’ll be the one who’ll be driving.”
“I will also drive. If we take turns driving, wouldn’t it be fine?”
“Come to think of it, on the television, they did a program about the cherry blossom season coming a bit earlier!”
“Ara, isn’t that nice, but as far as I remember, isn’t the cherry blossom season supposed to fall later this year?”
“Wouldn’t that perhaps be the greenhouse cultivated cherry blossoms?”
Father!
Resist your desire to flaunt your knowledge!
You should be denying it with all you got over here!
“Let’s go there then.”
“But don’t you think it would be way too crowded?”
That’s right!
Tell them!
“I agree that it might be a little crowded, but it’s not really that far. Won’t it be fine”
“Ah well, if it’s to that degree, I guess it won’t hurt.”
So much for his dignity. Not cool. You’ll lose your daughter’s trust if you accept defeat so easily like that.
Remember that—
—Our house is always like this.
While recommending a hen, we went for a rooster. And I become the scapegoat.
[TL notes: A parable of a husband being moved by his wife’s opinion.]
“And what about you Naori? We will be going to see the cherry blossoms, doesn’t that sound fun?”
Like this, only onee-chan would ask for my confirmation
…, However…
It’s already been decided that we will go! We were definitely going! It’s horrible of you to try to show that you will acknowledge my decision, my confirmation after pretty much everything already got decided!
It’s cheating, just like that passerby culprit who glanced at the screen after everything was already over!
Anyway, it’s my turn, and I have no choice but to agree with them… With this sort of flow.
“Yeah. I think it’s a good idea.”
Okay, I’ll give you one day. This is also to keep the peace within the family. I know how to read the air of the room properly. Don’t you dare look down on me. Although, I don’t really want to go!
Also, father, be aware of the reason behind your disappearing dignity and reflect on it.
I am not going to forgive you for that.
“Then it’s decided.”
I’m able to see my onee-chan’s delighted face. So, for now, I will accept that.
“Come to think of it, Shirasaki-san’s father is coming home, isn’t he?”
“Isn’t that good news? How about we have a barbecue together tonight? Let’s ask them.”
Don’t you say some good things too, father. You are doing well in restoring your daughter’s trust in you.
“I want to eat red meat. But for starters, let’s ask them about it.”
For this, even I shall give my consent as well. It’s been a long time since I had a barbecue with Jun-kun. And if it’s a barbecue in the garden, I don’t need to go out either. I don’t have to care about crowds.
Nothing is posing a problem. I have no objections.
And above all, meat… Bristling fat… Enveloped in smoke… And that sizzling music the moment you put the meat in with the sauce.
“Then I’ll tell them that later.”
My mother, I will entrust you with that.
I want to eat meat. If possible, I want to eat Tarafuku meat.
When I suddenly looked at my sister’s face and saw that she had slightly tricky emotions showing through her face.
.
It must be pretty complicated. Even though father didn’t know anything about this, he was her ex-boyfriend after all, and they had just broken up recently.
But here, let’s have her show a little patience. After all, I also agreed with participating in the cherry blossoms. It’s her turn next. Meat-chan, wait for me. I’ll soon come to pick you up right away.
With this, It’s fair.
The only ones you can shoot are those who are prepared to be shot, Onee-chan. Was it Lelouch? Well, that is so, but this was originally the dialogue from Marlowe.
[TL notes: Phillip Marlowe was a detective series by Raymond Chandler. Termed as Los Angels’ toughest detective.]
Try not to get wrong on that part! The works by Raymond Chandler are a must-read.
I woke up in the early afternoon on the second day of Golden Week. I was able to use my first night to the fullest, consuming till I am incapable to do so more.
You could call it my complete victory. I slept after the surroundings start to become bright.
Vampire? They are dead, though?
When I entered the living room, scratching my head, I saw that my father was watching a movie. No one else, all by himself. Did the dogs of capitalism go out shopping? So, is consumption now praised as the present’s virtue?
Well, I guess onee-chan has club activities to do today.
After parting(breaking up) with Jun-kun, She’s become more enthusiastic about club activities than ever.
As soon as I looked at the TV to see what was ongoing, I became completely awake.
