My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover ch11-2

p1
>We've got a reservation for 5pm...
>Yes. Thank you for coming.

>I was surprised by how close this place was.
>So this is where it was.

>I met up with my editor.
>Your editor?
>Yes.

p2
>I'll hang your coat.
>Pass it here.
>Okay.

>Hmm.
>Something smells good.
>Here you go.
>...It sure does.
>You hungry?
>A little.

>Please enjoy yourselves~

>I thought you'd be bad with places like this.
>For some reason...
>I'll be fine.

p3
>It's my first time, though.

>There's something clearly different about Sena-chan...
>Is that so?

>Shall we have a toast?

>Cheers.

>Uwah.
>It's sweeter than I expected.

p4
>...What is that?
>It tastes good, though.
>It's a mix of fruits...
>Like peach.
>I ordered it out of curiosity since it's a new limited-time item...

>...Wanna try it?
>Are you sure?
>Go ahead.

>It's delicious like juice.
>Thank you.
>I'm feeling...
>kinda nervous.

>Why are you nervous?

p5
>Well... it's been a while, after all.
>Sena-chan.

>Like I told you earlier,
>it hasn't been a while at all.
>You send me messages all the time too.
>You never invited me out to eat, though.
>I had to do it in the end.

>...I don't know any establishments like this.
>You shouldn't drink it in one go.

>I wouldn't mind going anywhere if it's with you, though.

>You said you met up with your editor earlier...
>...Will you be resuming work?

p6
>...I don't know
>if I'll be making a comeback any time soon, though.

>I still haven't written anything.
>I see.

>Just now, I thought about
>how Sena-chan returning to work would give me less opportunities to see her.
>That's no good.
>Mamiya-san.

>How do you usually pass the time?
>...What do you think about?

p7
>Today,
>I thought about you, Sena-chan.

>Usually...
>going to check up on you...
>and eating meals with you is my daily routine... It's what I look forward to.

>Um.
>I understand.
>You can shut up now.
>Whaddaya mean "you can shut up now"?

>...I've taken on a job that involves writing an essay.

p8
>Just writing about how I'm stuck at home all day would be boring.
>I don't think about anything... that's of any worth either,
>so I figured I could use you as a reference, Mamiya-san.

>I think it'd be fine because it's your life.
>I know I'd want to read it.

>...
>Wanna go out on our day off?

>From now on,
>let's go to all kinds of places.

p9
>The more things you see,
>the more you'll have to write about, even if you hate them.

>Should you really waste your time on me?

>You've already got so much going on,
>so you shouldn't waste time on my problems...

>I just wanted to go on a date, though.

p10
>I'd get to spend time together with you,
>and it helps you in the process, it's two birds with one stone.

>That's the principle anyway,
>but only if you're okay with it, Sena-chan.
>I shouldn't hog you all to myself.
>...

>...Because we're lovers?

>That's what I'd like.
>We're in a relationship where that's possible, after all.

>...

p11
>I figured it was cos you're so soft-hearted
>that you couldn't leave someone like me alone.

>I knew you'd think that.

>Please go on a date with me.

p12
>...Sure.
>Let's do that.

>It's getting hot in here.
>Are you drunk already?

>You're the one who looks drunk to me.
>You okay? Your face is all red.
>I am not drunk.
>I'm fine.

>So cute.
>It's all gone.

>>Moving forward a little at a time.
