Let's Make a Deal ch20: A Day Without You

p1
>>The roommate is absent-minded...

>How long are you going to keep playing roommates for?

>...san...
>Adel-san!
>How long...?

>You're piling on too much.
>Ah...

p2
>Recently,
>I've been all out of whack...

>...Adel-san, um... is something troubling you?
>D-...
>Does it look that way to you?

>Should we go out tomorrow?
>It might help take your mind off of things.
>...I can't believe
>I'm making Ryouko so worried about me...

>...Sorry. I've got an errand to run tomorrow.
>I'll likely be back Sunday morning.

p3
>The next day.

>Did we make plans for today or something?

>You lied to Ryouko-san?
>I mean, I don't mind personally, but...

>It kinda feels like you're cheating on her.
>Yeah right.
>Don't be silly. I wouldn't cheat with someone as ill-natured as you.
>Absolutely never.
>How cruel!

p4
>I see. The Grim Reaper.

>I hate that kid.
>Hey.
>He's technically older than you.
>It's the way he makes himself look younger that I hate.

>...But it's good timing.
>Even I can see you've been off your game lately, Senpai.

>I'd be more than happy to see the cool Senpai again.

p5
>...Aren't you also living with a human?
>That's because I like Yuruka.

>But that's not the case for you, is it, Senpai?

>Besides, what you said the other day...
>...I haven't fulfilled her wish yet.
>That was also a lie, wasn't it?

>"Adel-san."
>Senpai, what do you want to do with Ryouko?

p6
>...I'm not even capable of granting her wish.

>There's no way a human can be happy living with a demon.
>A human's happiness is to marry someone and have a white house with a white dog...

>...At least, that's what the internet said.
>I think the page you were looking at is a bit dated.
>Things are more diverse in this age.

>...Why don't you take this opportunity to think it over carefully?

p7
>Meanwhile.
>It's been a while since I've had a day off on my own.

>I should really be doing something that I can only do when I'm by myself...

>Hmm....
>...snooze...

>Aah! It's evening already!
>If you're by yourself...

p8
>Hah~...
>Guess I'll go shopping...
>I've wasted the whole day~
>Ah, Ryouko-san.

>Himawari-chan.
>Out by yourself?
>Yes! To the library!

>>Demon Exorcism Encyclopedia
>>How to Defeat a Demon
>>Conquering Demons for Dummies

>...Did you have a fight with Mahala-san?
>These are just in case a fight happens.
>My life is on the line, after all.

p9
>When I see you and Adel-san,
>...I get a little jealous

>of how you're together because you like each other.
>Eh?

>I'm a child and can't do anything on my own.
>I had no choice but to choose a demon.

>I'd love to hear about you two next time.
>Maybe I shouldn't tell her that was met on a matching app...
>That I just kinda signed up for.

p10
>Hmm...

>I'm just not feeling it...

>I used to be full of energy when my parents weren't around.
>I'm gonna spend the whole day reading manga and eating snacks!
>Since I worked hard, I'll stick a soft-boiled egg on my beef bowl and drink some beer.
>Fufu...
>I was even fine living by myself, and yet...

>There's something missing "next to me".

>...Was being by myself always this boring?

p11
>...I ate too much and now I feel sleepy.
>...Guess I'll sleep for a bit.

>I hope she comes home soon.

>Hah!

p12
>W-Welcome back.
>She's gonna be pissed...!

>If you're gonna sleep, do it in the futon. Cover up your stomach. Clean up your food packaging too. Later we'll need to buy...

>...Adel-san?
>Ryouko.

>Let's put an end to our contract.
