It's like a Spring Storm ch4

p1
>I get the feeling I've heard a lot about journeys of self-discovery when I was young, but...
>Aoi-san, this person is starting her today.

>Yeah.
>Nice to meet...

>Eh?

p2
>Eh~...
>Why do people always go North when they get lost in life?

>What are you doing here...?

>No, no, no...
>I could ask you the same thing...

>Ah, you're acquainted? I'll leave it in your care then.
>Hey!?

>p3
>>Increasingly awkward
>>atmosphere
>Erm...

>Why don't we just have some tea for now?

>What the heck are you doing here?

p4
>You ran away from the wedding.
>Eh... What did I do...?
>Don't ask me...
>Yeah.

>And then rumors started to spread around the office.
>I heard she ran away.
>Eh~ So that means he's a scumbag, then...?
>Yeah.

>Well, I figured I'd go somewhere where nobody knew me.

>Are you trying to ruin my life plan!?
>Why are you here!?
>I said the same thing.
>Don't worry about it.

p5
>Well
>I don't have any grudge against you.
>To be honest, this is probably for the best.
>Unlike in the city, it's easier to live without a care in the world.
>Haha
>Besides, it was your father who paid for the wedding.

p6
>Oh right...
>My dad...

>He got in touch with me a couple of times.
>He's a good dad.

>...

p7
>It was kinda like that when we first met.
>He spent all his time talking to me.

>Yeah.

>It was like "Are you a school principal or something? When are you gonna finish talking?"
>Th-That atmosphere sure changed a bit.

>But right now is better.

p8
>Running into you here must be some kind of fate.
>Wanna try starting over with me?

>I won't rush you into marriage or anything this time.
>We can start off as friends.

p9
>You'd be more secure with me than with a novelist.
>It's for your father's sake too.
>...

>If it's for you, Aoi,
>I can go back.

p10
>There's no way we can go back.
>Not since then. I'm sure of it.

p11
>I'm having fun in my own way now so...
>sorry.

>...I see.

p12
>I don't really understand why you'd wanna date me
>when you don't know the slightest thing about.

>Besides, there's nothing in it for you if you go out with me.
>I'm nobody worth developing romantic feelings for, is there?

>Though to be honest,
>I don't get what Chi-chan sees in me either.
>Why me?

>Even so,
>these are my true feelings.

p13
>I like the things I like,
>even if I don't understand why.

>That makes no sense to me.

>...You really
>have changed.

p14
>We...
>You may be right.

>I must've caught some stupid disease from some idiot.

p15
>I see.

>Well ten,
>we should get to work.

p16
>There's something I wanna talk about when I get home.
>What is it?
>When I get home!

p17
>Wah!
>That spooked me...
>These earthquake bulletins are bad for my heart.

>Wah!?

>That was a big one.

p18
>Hah

>Gyaa

>Are you okay!?
>Chi-chan! Answer me!!
>Chi-chan!
