Haru and Midori ch2-1

p2
>This room
>is being used as a bedroom right now,
>but you can use it, Haru-chan.

>You can use the bed as is, too...
>And also... oh yeah.
>There's a desk and stuff too.

>Where are you gonna sleep, Midori-san?
>I can lay out a futon in the living room...

>Is this the living room?
>Ah.
>Hold on...

p3
>>Messy...

>I-
>I've been very busy lately so
>it's a little untidy at the moment...
>Hmmm

>...What's up there?

>It's a loft...
>Be careful
>I'm using it as storage right now...

p4
>...Here is fine.
>Eh...?

>It kinda
>feels like a secret base.

p5
>Here's
>a futon and some pajamas...
>Here.
>Thanks.

>...

>...Are you nervous?
>Eh?
>N-N-No!
>You totally are.

>...The two of us
>are gonna be living together for a while so

>you can be a little more at ease.

p6
>...Y-
>You're right.

>Together
>from now on...

>Back then...

>My unreasonable proposal that I half-heartedly yelled out
>was accepted by her aunt, Yayoi-san.

>Althought, since it's not something I'd be able to do with my own power,
>Haru-chan is technically in Yayoi-san's custody for form's sake.
>We began living together
>while remaining strangers.

p7
>And so
>as a result of all that,
>it ended up like this...
>Alright. Please take care of me starting today.
>The sooner the better, right?
>Eh?
>Today!?

>....Well,
>I think I should test you for a while.

>If it proves too much for you, Midori-san,
>I can leave at any time.

p8
>Th-
>That...
>won't...

>...That's right.

>I decided.
>Back then.

>I would live together with this girl.

>I
>would make a place for her...

p9
>...Um.
>Midori-san.
>Ah.
>Yes?

>...I'm getting
>kinda hungry...

p10
>>Empty

>...
>Of course...

>Oh right.
>There's the stuff Mom sent me...

>...Hmmm...

>Instant food... wouldn't be good.
>Hmmm
>Vegetables...
>I usually just eat veggies warmed up, but...

p11
>I can manage a stir-fry at least...

>Okay!!

>...

>Making something for someone else
>makes me nervous...

>Wah
>Wawawah

>...A cat's paw.
>Eep!

p12
>Your hand.
>Make it like this.
>Did no one ever teach you that?

>...Ah
>N-
>No I wasn't..
>She saw me...

>That seems kinda dangerous.
>I'm guessing you're not the type who usually cooks?
>...Y-
>Yeah...
>pretty much...

>Hand it over.

p13
>A-
>Amazing...!
>No.
>I just heated them up...
>It's no big deal.

>Delicious...!
>Like I said, I just heated them up...

>But it's still amazing.
>I never did that kinda stuff when I was in middle school...
>Not that I do it now either...

p14
>...Well,
>I did it a lot at home,
>since my Mom was always at work.

>...Is
>that so...

>...Enough with this atmosphere.

>The only thing we have in common
>is that person.
>It's weird not to come up with any topics.

p15
>...Yeah...

>...But it's kinda strange.

>Mom would often tell me
>a lot about you, Midori-san.

>The way I'm not only talking to this person
>but am also now living with her
>feels kinda mysterious.

>...She talked about me...?

p16
>I remember that
>whenever she talked about middle school,
>she would often bring up your name, Midori-san.
>...Ah.

>"Midori-san."
>So that's why you knew me name...?

>...When I first met you
>I kinda thought "maybe it's this person".

>Althought not even I would've thought
>that I'd end up living together with a total stranger.

>...Um.

p17
>What did Tsugumi-chan
>think of me...?

>...

>A weirdo.
>Eh...
>Kidding.
>Well, she did say that too.
>>mumble

>She called you
>her best friend.

>...She always looked so happy
>when talking about you.

p18
>...Really...

>...Best friend...?
