Mikazuki no Carte ch8: A Night of Tears and a Morning of Smiles Part 2

p1
>Well then, I'm gonna sleep in my sleeping bag on the sofa...
>No.
>We're sleeping together.

p2
>...Touka, what's wrong?
>You're acting kinda weir-

p3
>I'm your "lover", right?
>Or am I just a substitute for the patient who committed suicide?

>Is dating me like this
>just atonement for what happened that person?

p4
>...I guess Shiina-san told you, huh?

>...The truth is, even before that incident happened
>I was already thinking about quitting as a doctor.
>!

>Even though I excelled at my studies,
>when it came to the real thing, I couldn't do anything.
>I felt like I wasn't cut out for this job...

p5
>It was only my first year of training, but my body and soul was falling apart.
>I was sneakily passing by other psychosomatic medicine wards elsewhere.

>That's when that incident happened.

>I thought I should just quit already.
>Even when I was reinstated, I didn't have the confidence to carry on...

>But y'know,
>when I met you, Touka,
>I finally found a goal befitting of a doctor.
>When you met me...?

p6
>To one day cure Touka's illness
>and go on an outside date during the daytime.

p7
>No!

>...You can't have a goal like that.
>I've... been told that I'll never be cured for the rest of my life.
>Even Papa said it's impossible.

>With a goal like that
>you'll just get hurt again, Sensei.

p8
>...I've studied a lot.
>Right now, I'm still inexperienced as both a doctor and a lover.
>But I will find a cure some day.

>I want the person I love...
>I want Touka to smile.

>Until that day comes... could you believe in me and wait?

p9
>...Okay.

>Wait.
>!

p10
>!
>Kiss me here.

>Touka...!?

p11
>This irremovable scar and my illness.
>If it's you, Sensei,
>you can someday break this curse.
>I want you to believe that.

>...Don't tell anyone about this.

p13
>You're so naughty, Touka...

>Ah

p14
>Amazing... It's like we're a pair of adult lovers.
>Okay, we're done. Put your clothes back on.

>Aw, man. You could've let me bask in the mood a little longer...
>Geez! You shouldn't let people see you in that state so much.
>Well, you are a patient so it can't be helped, but...

p15
>The truth is, I don't really want anyone else to see you like that.

>Honestly, Sensei!
>Wah!

p16
>Do you want to see more, Sensei?
>Ah, maybe we could sleep in the nude tonight?
>Geez! Don't make fun of me!

p17
>Good morning. Breakfast will soon be served.

>Oh yeah, that's right...
>Morning already!? Look at the time!
>I need to report to Konno-sensei!

>Wait, Sensei.

p18
>Take care.
>I'll be waiting for you
>so make sure you show up for today's date, okay?

p9
>Yeah.
>Wait for me.

>2: Make sure to come visit during the time between dinner and lights out.
