Don't mind if he was broken but I won't mind if someone fixes him either he still one of the best MCs I've seen

Kei or one of this girls . Im really looking foward to Hasebe in the next volumes , i found her character very interesting.

Where is the user that translates it?
What volume is he up to?

I want to fuck Hasebe.

I'll be dumping soon. I've got quite a bit translated already. I'll just post in this thread since an user was kind enough to make it. I'll start dumping in half an hour or so.

Did you finish vol.1? I'd like to read from the beginning,

Volume 1's already been completely translated by Confused Translations, a different translation group. They've done 1/3rd of volume 2 too, but right now, volume 2 translation is discontinued. TL-user will pick it up after he finishes the remaining volumes. Another group, OneHallYu, is doing volume 3 right now. TL-user finished translating volume 4 completely and is doing 4.5 now. He's also translated the rooftop scene from volume 7 along with the remaining character monologues from volumes 5, 6 and 7.

Here's the Google Drive masterlink for the translations

drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzJEgqplcpl-dlp5VW5QeUJOaE0

You can found it translate in here confusedtls.wordpress.com

Does anyone have the Sup Forums guys image of this scene? It was hilarious.

Not as much as the live translations of the rooftop scene. That was by far the best and most fun Youjitsu thread we ever had.

I intent to make a full pdf of volume 4, image and text include. If you don't mind, can you translate the text in these 3 pictures of volume 4

...

...

I saved the translations. Read right to left*.

>“Academics? So boring. Those things don’t have any value” – Ryuuen Kakeru, Class C male student, leader of the class. He has a very good brain, but he always value achieving results unscrupulously, making the majority of the people unfortunate.

>“Then let’s fight here right now” – Ibuki Mio, a member of Class C. Deep down she hates the Class C’s dictator Ryuuen, who doesn’t use ordinary strategies.

>青春なんていらない。
I don't need youth

>友達なんていらない。
I don't need friends

>大切なのは、
>自分自身を
>守ること。
The most important thing is to protect myself

>そのために
>必要なことは、何でもする。
I will do whatever it's needed

Are there any plans for S2 or did the series flop?

>“I will win”
>Horikita answered me briefly.
>“… and that means you have found the target?”

Off to reading I go then. thanks

When you edit the images, could you post them here user? I'm planning doing a pdf too after edit the vol. The translations of the student's personal info pages you can find on the pastebin pastebin.com/ftKKfpQL

Thank you very much

BD sales were boycotted by angry nips so you could call it a flop, but the LN sales did great, most likely much better than expected -- 5th place in overall LN sales in the past year.
There will be an event in January (pic related) something will be announced, a VN, OVA or maybe even S2.

You're welcome.

I will. And i've already done adding student personal info pages

>He does not have any shortcomings
>Bald at 16

Literally me

Are they boycotting the anime itself or the director for being a Horikita-fag?

Here is 50%

I want to marry this man.

And Ryuen, they have the same birthday

mostly the director

He's even better than 50%. If he wanted to, he could've probably raped 50% on that rooftop. Kiyopon got lucky Ryuuen was feeling merciful that day.

I will post all of them later. Go to sleep now.

Because of the Horikitafag director.

thanks user

thanks user.

Who the hell actually thought it was a good idea to go see a fortune-teller.
"I may have messed up..."
I knew it, but the late August morning assaulted by a heatwave made it a burning hell. I could even see a mirage forming and gently fluctuating on the concrete that lies ahead near the roadside trees. Of course the school facilities are all air conditioned and so we don't feel the heat in there. In corridors, in lobbies or in our rooms. However, when directly exposed to the sun, one instantaneously starts to sweat.

So this is how humans die. While thinking thoughts like that, I desperately attempt to find some shade. Fortunately for me, the school that boasts of its large school grounds has quite a bit of trees planted. Thanks to that, there is no shortage of shadows to obstruct the sunlight. It is currently 9:30 before the students start their various activities. I'm heading towards the rumored fortune-teller's location. It seems they start their fortune-telling at 10:00, but I don't plan to stick around for long. I'll just have them quickly divine my fortune and just as quickly leave. That is my aim. But as I got closer to my destination, I realize that my expectations have been betrayed.

At Keyaki Mall which I had expected to be mostly empty, a crowd of students wearing summer outfits were already there. While I had hoped not all of them would be here for the same reason I am, that is unlikely to be the case. For now, to escape the burning hell outside, I decided to take shelter inside Keyaki. Since the event seems to be hosted on the 5th floor, I looked around for a nearby elevator.

(This is part 2 of chapter 1 of volume 4.5. I'll finish part 2, 3 and 4 of chapter 1 tonight and move on to volume 4's afterword)

"Geeh..."
Such a voice unexpectedly leaked out of me. Because close to ten students had already formed a crowd in front of the elevator. I wonder if people with the same communication deficiency I have would be able to understand too. Whenever I take the elevator alone, I'm the type of person to repeatedly hit the 'Close' button as soon as I get in. But I'm not as good at taking the elevator with a large group of people the same age as me. I will need a fair bit of courage to get in with the crowd.

It might be a bit troublesome, but for now let's take a detour and choose another elevator elsewhere. There is another elevator in the opposite direction that is currently unused by students and is kept as a reserve.
"This is calming..." I muttered.
This did require additional effort on my part, but I'm grateful just for the peace of mind it gave me. It is sad though. Having arrived on the 5th floor, I quickly search for the fortune-teller's location.

And there I encountered a situation more perplexing than the one before.
"There are only couples here".
Boy and girl. Two-in-one groups. In other words, a crowd made up predominantly of students in a lovers' relationship. Of course there are groups with only boys and groups with only girls here too, but they are the minority.
Fortune-telling was originally meant for this sort of thing after all.
Just divining the compatibility between a boyfriend and a girlfriend is not such a special thing in and of itself. However, it's just I realized this place is a lot more uncomfortable than I had expected.

There's not many people who came to the fortune-teller on their own. More so if it's just a boy like me. In any case, since there's already a queue forming I decided to line up with them. And when I did, a woman who seemed to be managing the queue called out to me.
"Good morning. Will your partner be coming later?" she asked me.
"Partner? No, I'm alone" I replied to her.

(Continued)

Of course, given that the people around us are mostly couples it's natural to ask that question, but I'd like her to think more about us singles.

"Ummm...".
Perhaps she still has something to say, but the woman with an apologetic face continued on.
"I'm afraid Sensei's fortune-telling is for couples only..." she told me.
"So it's impossible for me alone?" I asked.
She nods slightly and points forward. I could not see it well through the crowd of people, but there was a certain note that warned about the requirements.

'We will be guiding you as a pair. Please be aware of this fact' it said.

Reasonable. There shouldn't be a single person like me here after all. Since I had not been confronted with an awkward situation like this before, it couldn't be helped. It seems right now, I'm in a very difficult position.
And also, I understand now the reason why Sudou wanted to invite Horikita out here. In this format of fortune-telling, he and Horikita would have a long time to talk to each other while lining up for the fortune-telling and they can spend a long time together until the fortune-telling is over.
"That also means I never even mattered from the start" I muttered.

Having realized it all now, Sudou's words and behaviour start to take on an entirely new meaning. That I was never even invited in the first place. And even if I had been, I wonder if he would have found an excuse to shake me off. What a sad story.
"By the way, the queue beside you is the same, is it not?" I asked.
"...Yes. Ukon-sensei's only telling the fortune for pairs..." the female clerk answers.
"I understand".

(Continued)

I bowed my head towards the clerk and left the queue. And the students, who were already lining up behind me, simply took one step forward. I never expected this kind of trick to be involved. As for me, my image of fortune-telling was that of an old woman on the side of the street counting coins while doing her job, something like that. But recently, it seems recommended for couples fortune-telling like this also exists.
I thought it wouldn't be too bad to experience fortune-telling once at least, but it seems it can't be helped. There's not much point in trying to invite Horikita out again, so I'd better retreat here quietly.

"Huh? So you're telling me I can't get in alone?"
It seems in the queue beside me, there's another single victim who came alone, as a voice that sounded like they were angry could be heard from there. And as I sent a sympathetic gaze their way, my eyes unfortunately met with that person's.
"Ah".
That short answer came from a person who happened to be an acquaintance of mine. When I pretended to have not seen her and attempted to leave, for some reason, with the same timing, she walked in the same direction I did. I quicken my footsteps.

"Wait".
Perhaps she thought I was attempting to run away (I was attempting to run away), but she chased after me.
"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked her.
"Where is Horikita?".
Having asked that brief question, the girl quickly scanned her surroundings.
She was Ibuki Mio, a student of Class C. She too, like Sudou, seemed to be attempting to get at Horikita through me. However, unlike Sudou, Ibuki's actions in this case is reasonable.
It's just, it would be a great help if she could get to Horikita without needing to pass through me.

(Continued)

"It's not like I'm always hanging out with her, I'm alone today" I told her.
"Ahh. I see".
In the previous uninhabited island test, this Ibuki was sent to Class D as a spy and tried to throw the class into chaos. And then she later fought with Horikita, and since then, Ibuki has been antagonistic towards Horikita. A rivalry would be more accurate for their relationship.

Although her usual tsun attitude has not changed, she does have a pretty good fashion sense and definitely leaves a good impression. If she acted a bit more mature, I wouldn't be surprised if she became popular.
"Normally fortune-telling is done one-on-one isn't it? I didn't expect this at all, don't you agree too?" Ibuki asks me.
"I suppose so. I did have that sort of image" I replied to her.
"So? Didn't you ask Horikita out for this?" she asked.
First it was Sudou and now Ibuki. The topic of the conversation is always about Horikita, who's not even here.
"I didn't. If you want to talk to Horikita that much, why don't you go and see her yourself? Tell her you want to go see the fortune-teller together" I told Ibuki.
"Huh? Absolutely not. It's not like I have anything to talk to her about anyways".
If that's the case then I'd like you to not talk about Horikita again and again.
"I never was really interested in fortune-telling from the start so I have no regrets here. How about you?" I asked her.

"I'd be lying if I said I have no regrets..." Ibuki told me. It seems the pair requirement presents a difficult problem for her which she realized, as she shook her head while stating her regret.
"I can't do anything but give up now. I'm also bad at talking" Ibuki said.
That was an answer that wasn't really an answer at all. She did say she was bad at talking, but unlike Sakura, she didn't seem like the type that would have trouble carrying on a normal conversation. In fact she is perfectly capable of talking to me on equal terms...or even talking down on me.

(Continued)

"Why don't you invite Ryuuen?" I asked Ibuki.
I said that as an added joke, but she made a face of disgust equal to or perhaps even greater than Horikita's.

"I'd absolutely hate to see his face even during the holidays. You must be joking" Ibuki replied to me.
"But you were together with him on the ship, weren't you? Isn't it normal to think you two are intimate?" I asked her.
"...that's only because I felt responsible for not figuring out the leader of Class D" Ibuki said.

She answered weakly like that. If what she says is true, that would mean Ibuki acted together with Ryuuen then as a means of taking responsibility for her failure. That alone didn't give me the whole picture but that must be something only Class C would understand. Even so, in the first part of the special exam, the uninhabited island test, Ibuki successfully identified Horikita as Class D's leader, and she was not wrong in her assessment. If I had not interfered, she would have made a big contribution to Class C undoubtedly.
"I wanted to ask you something, but during the island test, who was Class D's leader?" Ibuki asked me.
"I wonder".
"I wonder? It's not like you don't know" she said.
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't really tell you. But I really don't know. I think most of Class D is also in the dark, wouldn't they be? Horikita was moving in the shadows, and she must have pulled it off somehow and that's all I can make of this" I told Ibuki.

Ibuki stares at me as though looking through me. But, I'm not so foolish as to be seen through by such a simple observation.
"...well, if it were that easy I wouldn't need to go through this much trouble" Ibuki shrugs her shoulder as if she had given up.
"If Ryuuen is no good, why don't you invite girls from your class?" I asked Ibuki.

(Continued)

"If I had such a person I wouldn't be in this much trouble. I absolutely dislike the girls in my class" Ibuki said. It seems even her classmates are included in the category of people she absolutely dislikes.

Ibuki is like Horikita...or even more so in her antisocial nature. In that sense, they are birds of a feather. And with a trigger, it feels like they could get along perfectly.
"But just like you're talking to me right now, Ibuki you should be able to talk to anyone else normally. I don't get the feeling that you're particularly bad with people" I told her.
"That's not true. When you talk with me you get that feeling don't you? A thorny feeling" she replied.
"I guess that's true".

Whenever I would talk with Ibuki, I get the feeling that I'm being pierced by a sharp saw. That is probably, Ibuki's expression of her distance with others. I'm sure this feeling would be conveyed to the other students as well.
"Whatever I do, the mood always ends up bad like this. You get it?" Ibuki said.
In other words, because she's bad at socializing, she cannot invite her classmates. It is still doubtful whether 'bad at socializing' is appropriate or not, but it must be a fact that this Ibuki likely sees even her classmates in an antagonistic light.
I can even picture her challenging the fortune-teller with that headstrong attitude of hers.

"Even though you're bad at dealing with people, it's strange that you would try having your fortune told".
"That's another one of my troubles. It's sort of like liking cats but having an allergy to cats too. That sort of thing" Ibuki told me.
That must have been truly frustrating. Even though one likes something, they still find it difficult to accept or do, or something like that.

(Continued)

"It's amazing you'd be the spy in Class D even though you're like that" I told her.
Even though she always had a tsun attitude, she never showed any sign of discomfort during her spy activities, not once. Because even the Class D students, without suspecting Ibuki, took her in.

"That and this are different. In any case, talking to others makes me anxious. And because I get anxious, I become nervous. I don't like that. That's why it can't be helped. It's not like I became like this because I like it. Why am I even talking to you about this? What if we get misunderstood?" Ibuki stopped the conversation at that while looking away.
But that's also my line. And before I realized it, the people around us had already moved up the queue and only the two of us were left behind alone. The other students might misunderstand us. But still, getting nervous after getting anxious, huh? So that's where the root of her weakness lies. If that is true, a method to counter it might be unexpectedly easy.

There is a plan that would counter this weakness without needing to figure out the roots of what had made her anxious in the past.
"Earlier, you said it was a different matter when you were spying, didn't you?" I asked Ibuki.
"I did. Because it is a fact".
"Then what's the difference between that time and usual?" I continued the question.
Having heard the question, Ibuki mulled over the answer and was silent for a while. And answered in a way that was very like her.

"I don't know. Different things are different. That's all" she said.
More than an answer, it seems she's given up on trying to tell the difference entirely.
"It looks like you haven't given it much thought" I said.
"Obviously. I wouldn't notice such trivial differences. I was acting then after all" Ibuki replied to me.
"No. I think it's surprisingly simple. The difference between talking to others and your acting back then, is simply a matter of 'recognition' I believe" I said.

(Continued)

"'Recognition'?".
In response to the word she did not expect to hear, Ibuki's interest must have been piqued since she turned to look at me.

"Anyone would feel anxious if they imagine talking to a person face-to-face. But, that nervousness is only because you're conscious of it, whether there was acting involved or not is irrelevant" I told Ibuki.
For instance, somebody who's bad at dealing with members of the opposite sex, even if they convince themselves 'I'm going to become a normie', and go to mixers and such. There's no guarantee that their anxiety wouldn't prevent them from talking with loquacity. As a result, they would not be able to exert more power than they usually do. If they are still able to talk skillfully despite that, that would only mean from the start, they always had that capability in them.
All it takes is to consider communication skills and athleticism as the same. Your talent and ability you've cultivated are tested in that sense.

In other words, Ibuki has the 'ability to talk with others' but simply lacks the ability to 'properly carry it out'.
"Until now, you've been projecting your delusions onto the various people you meet, and when you come face-to-face with them you seize up. That turns into anxiety and as a result, you're unable to talk well with them, isn't that it?" I told Ibuki.
"What's that supposed to mean? If it's someone with a high communication ability they would not even notice. But normally when you come face-to-face with a person, anyone would get anxious right?" Ibuki replies.

"Naturally. I'm the same too, but getting anxious even towards merchants and the such is a bit too much. For instance but, would you still feel anxious even if you're talking to a convenience store clerk?" I asked Ibuki.
"Huh?".

(Continued)

"For example, meeting the clerk face-to-face at a convenience store you usually go to. Do you have a point card? Would you like it warm? Do you get anxious when the clerk says those words, surely not?".
"That's...well" Ibuki muttered.
In the end, you become conscious of the one you're talking to and end up anxious after all. I wonder what they'll think of me, I want to be thought of often, I'd like them to be a good person. It's because one thinks things like that they start being anxious.

But the Ibuki who infiltrated Class D surely had no time to think things like that. She would have been busy playing the victim that she had no time to be conscious of the fact that she wanted to talk to others. That's why without even needing to think, she was able to pull it off. That is because by letting out her feelings and letting them overflow like it was usual, she was able to convince them of her confrontation with Class C.
"Now that you say it, that is true..." Ibuki muttered.
"It is inevitable that you would feel anxious since it's natural to have the impression that you would be face-to-face with the fortune-teller, but by not thinking too deeply about it. That would help relieve some tension, wouldn't it?" I told Ibuki.

"...I see. Hey, why the hell do I have to be lectured about this by you?". Once Ibuki noticed her own relief, she glared at me as though she were about to jump on me.
"Once you've been a loner long enough, you notice small details like that. It starts when you start wondering why you are unable to make friends, and like I said earlier you think about the difference between people you get nervous towards and people you don't. And then you end up thinking where people come from and where they go" I told Ibuki.

(Continued)

"Creepy...You seem like the type to become a mass murderer in the future...were you always this kind of person?" Ibuki asks me.
"...well something like that" I replied.
I had thought to pass this off as just a deep reflection of mine, but it seemed to have taken an odd turn. I may have given her the impression that I was a crank.
"I'm going back for now. How about you?" I asked Ibuki.
"I think I'll go back too. It doesn't seem like I can get my fortune told alone anyways. I was interested in Tenchuusatsu though...".

"Tenchuusatsu?".
I replied without thinking to those words you wouldn't hear normally.
"You came here without even knowing such a thing?" Ibuki sighed in resignation. But even if you say that, I genuinely am an amateur at fortune-telling. I just came here with a vague idea of having my fortune told freely.
"If I have to put it simply, it's fortune-telling that tells you which days are unlucky for you" Ibuki told me.
I have heard that the world of fortune-telling is a deep one, but I didn't know it was possible to tell the fortune of a specific target. From the perspective of an ameteur like me, things like 'wear the color red' or 'beware of losing your possessions this month' were the full extent of fortune-telling. But from what Ibuki is telling me, it seems it isn't limited to just that.

"I was hoping for that, really. I never thought it was only for love affairs" Ibuki said while looking at the long queue with a dismayed expression.
"But looking from the perspective of the students, using fortune-telling for love affairs like that isn't strange, right? This Tenchuusatsu? There must also be people interested in that who came here" I replied to her.
"Even so, it's impossible as soon as they put the pair restriction on it" Ibuki said.
And with that, without even leaving so much as a parting word behind, Ibuki left.

(End of part 2. Now starting part 3 of chapter 1)

After returning to my room, I looked a bit into Tenchuusatsu. And when I did so, it turned out to be an extremely deep subject. It seems just before 1980, with the public becoming more aware of its existence, Tenchuusatsu was bathed in attention. However, as its popularity boomed, its credibility also came into question. There was even a case in the news of a famous fortune-teller forced into retirement after he revealed the workings of Tenchuusatsu. I won't go as far as to say fortune-telling itself is pointless, but becoming obsessed over it, or believing too much in it can become a problem.

But on the flip side, one could also say that fortune-telling is just that charming to be able to attract the attention of that many people. It is a dominant topic, and even nowadays, if you approach it from the perspective of a believer, it still holds a considerable amount of accuracy. Now knowing this, I felt a sense of curiosity wash over me. As expected, I cannot just believe to what extent these articles I found on the net explain the truth of the matter.
It should be impossible to see the future or through a person through fortune-telling. That is precisely why I wanted to have my fortune told once, to discern its credibility. So that I could conclude that it is simply an extension of cold reading.

"I wonder if it's limited only to this month" I muttered.
Once I looked into it, it seems once the summer vacation ends, the fortune-teller will leave too and it's still unknown when or if he's coming back. Depending on the circumstances, it might even be that no person related to fortune-telling will visit this school again.
"But even if I say that...".
I don't have anyone to invite. I'm backed into a corner at this point. Horikita will most likely reject me again and I don't have the courage to invite Kushida in the first place.

(This is now part 3 of chapter 1 of volume 4.5. Continued)

saved from what?

I'm sure Sakura would be willing to accompany me, but if I bring her to a place full of couples, I may make her feel uncomfortable things. Other than that would be Sudou or Ike or Yamauchi. Those group of boys. But they probably don't want to spend the remaining days of the precious summer vacation going to a fortune-teller with another man.
"...checkmate, huh?" I muttered to myself.
A simple answer came out. In my limited interpersonal relationships, no matter how hard I think it seems impossible. In the first place, I dislike the couples-only sort of fortune-telling. You could almost say it's the same sort of thinking as Ibuki. For those genuinely interested in fortune-telling, it would be a great barrier. And just like that, I stopped my online search.

(Part 3 of chapter 1 of volume 4.5 is now finished. Starting part 4 of chapter 1 now)

And the next day after I had given up, strangely my feet were drawn towards the direction of the fortune-teller. It's probably just because I was free every day. There's no other reason than that.
"Ahh".
Yet another bizarre meeting. At the same time and at the same place, I reunited again with Ibuki.
"Why did you come again?...and alone too" Ibuki asked.
Ibuki hugs herself while looking at me with a disgusted expression.
"That's my line too. I'll return the question to you as it is" I replied.

"You said you liked fortune-telling, didn't you? I just thought maybe you'd try to have your fortune told even if you're alone. That's all".
It's a sort of renegotiation then, or perhaps she came expecting the situation to have changed. Or something of that sort. I wonder if Ibuki just likes fortune-telling that much. I started to feel like wanting to know which part of fortune-telling she likes in particular.

"This is a straightforward question, but Ibuki, are you the type of person who believes in fortune-telling?" I asked her.
"Is it wrong if I believe in it?".
"No, I'm not saying that...but it's not something you can just suddenly believe in right?".
It's not like everyone understands that fortune-telling is an application of cold reading like Horikita does. In other words, there are many people believe in that mysterious power.

(This is the start of part 4 of chapter 1 of volume 4.5. Continued)

"It's something people interested in fortune-telling often think about first, but if you can't throw aside that thought, you'd be better off not being interested in it at all" Ibuki said.
"Are you saying non-believers have no right to fortune-telling then?" I asked her.
"That's not quite right...let me just say this, it's not like even I believe unconditionally in fortune-telling. It's just that people who are skeptical from the start don't stand to gain anything from this" Ibuki carries on.

"The people who make fun of fortune-telling are full of contradictions. Many people normally don't believe in the existence of a god. But when they're in trouble, it's often that sort of god that they pray to" Ibuki continued.
A good analogy. God doesn't exist, ghosts don't exist. People who often make statements like that pray to God. They would visit shrines on New Year's Day and pray for a healthy life, a prosperous business and fulfillment in love. Even if you replace that with fortune-telling, it's still the same thing. What you truly believe in and what you want are different things. Nobody can deny that.

But, yes, if I think such things, indeed I can understand where Ibuki is coming from. But fortune-telling and believing in gods normally is still different. It's because fortune-telling is done by a human who exists just like you do. It's natural to be skeptical towards something like that.
"Did you get it?" she asks me.
"Yeah. It was easy to understand".
Of course I still have my misgivings, but I did understand the point Ibuki was trying to make. And that's where I made a proposal to her.
"Hey, this fortune-telling requires a pair but it's not like the only thing they're divining is love affairs, right?" I asked her.

(Continued)

"Naturally, yes" Ibuki said.
"In that case, why don't we ignore who our partner is and go have our fortunes told? You and I are both genuinely interested in fortune-telling after all. In any case, if it's a relationship that won't last after this I don't think there'd be any problems" I proposed to Ibuki.
I myself don't feel anything but a flat emotion towards Ibuki. I don't feel anything particularly good or bad towards her, almost like a first impression.
"I don't mind...I'd like to have my fortune told too. But are you fine with it?" Ibuki asks me.
"Horikita's just a friend to me" I replied to Ibuki.
"That's not what I mean. From the island test, there are still students who are holding a grudge" she said.

It looks like, in her own way, Ibuki is looking out for me. If I were to be seen together with her, my fellow classmates might begrudge me too and so it seems Ibuki's worried about me.
"I don't think you need to be worried about that at all" I told her. And as I answered her like that, Ibuki tilted her head curiously.
"I don't understand why you answered like that".

"If this were a school where everyone gets along, your actions would be a breach of morals. But this school cares only about 'ability' and that is everything, and besides, it was an exam where classes directly compete against each other. And depending on the situation, it's also possible to conduct spy activities or sabotage. Am I wrong?" I asked her.
"There are those that won't be satisfied with just that logic alone. It's not like everyone's this flexible" she replied to me.
"I don't think people like that would have the necessary qualifications to enroll in this school in the first place".
Having given my honest opinion, Ibuki crossed her arms and seemed to be giving it some thought.

(Continued)

"You're surprisingly cheeky" Ibuki finally told me.

"I'm just a failure of a student though. I'm not interested in rising up or falling down. I just ride on the coattails of a student like Horikita and consider that as being lucky" I told Ibuki.
From the perspective of someone who tries to rely only on themselves like Ibuki, what I just said would have been a laughable story. But Ibuki neither laughed at me nor mocked me.
"This isn't uncommon. In the first place, everyone who enrolls in this school is only eyeing the privilege when they graduate. Nobody would've expected they'd end up in competition like this. So most people would find this difficult" she told me.

It seems like the students of Class C aren't that different from Class D. If that's the case, the Ibuki who caught Ryuuen's eye and was assigned to spy activities early on must be pretty high up in the hierarchy of Class C. Since she is paid quite the attention by her surroundings, it's also not uncommon for her to act by Ryuuen's side. She had said she was only with Ryuuen because of her failure, but it seems to a degree, she's with him because Ryuuen also trusts in her. And with the both of us convinced, we lined up in the queue.

(Continued)

NECESSARY

And the female clerk who had talked to me yesterday came by again to confirm that we were indeed a pair and handed us what seems to be a ticket. It seems there are 8 pairs in front of us we would have to wait for.
"It looks like we'll be doing some waiting".
If only one fortune-teller is available per queue, even if there were ten pairs that would force us to wait for more than an hour. It's shaping up to be a long wait. The only question now is, how will the two of us endure for more than one hour? It doesn't seem like I can carry on a conversation for that long.
"Ahh. Don't be worried about silence, our relationship is only for the sake of fortune-telling so you don't need to speak pointlessly with me, right?" Ibuki said.

"I guess so..."

It seems she's seen through my idea. That saves me the trouble.

(This is the end of part 4 of chapter 1 of volume 4.5. I'll stop here for now and continue with volume 4's afterword in an hour or so. Then I'll continue translating a bit more from part 5 of chapter 1 from volume 4.5 before I stop for tonight)

What a swell guy

I want to have sexual intercourse with this girl.

Big thanks as always TLanon-kun.

thanks as always user.

You're a terrible friend, Sudo.

>Horikita will most likely reject me again
>and I don't have the courage to invite Kushida in the first place.
This Kushidafag

>"I don't mind...I'd like to have my fortune told too. But are you fine with it?" Ibuki asks me.
>"Horikita's just a friend to me" I replied to Ibuki.
She keeps getting friendzoned over and over again that it's not even funny anymore

SS user, could you translate the Ibuki's SS? It already out in chinese.

...

Early series Kiyopon was such a Kushidafag it's not even funny. I bet if Kushida didn't have such a bitchy attitude, she could've stood a decent chance of winning the 50% before any other girl got interested. Too bad she fucked it up. Now 50%'s more of a Keifag/Sakurafag and doesn't give much of a fuck about Kushida anymore.

Google drive user here. It's my birthday today so I won't be around today. I'll update any translations tomorrow.

Happy Birthday user!

Thanks, TL user. Godspeed.

So how will Ibuki reconcile the pure image of 50% in her head with the reality of X?

Deny, deny and deny. Works every time. Kick everyone and everything that tells her otherwise.

I think TL user said he was going to translate it

She in denial right now and her image of 50% as a stupid nice guy was shattered so will see to it.

Would be funny if he's going out with Kushida in later arcs though.

I think he was busy and forgot , then I guess would be better you translate it to help him.

I don't see how their relationship can get there that fast though. Right now they're at each other's throats looking to expel the other. On the other hand, 50%'s relationship with girls like Sakura and Kei are skyrocketing to new heights right now. I really don't see how Kushida can go from an enemy to that level faster than the other girls can.

Anything can happen. Nobody would've expected kei would have such relationship with 50% until vol 4

Has there been a confrontation with Kushida in volume 7? Because all I know is that 50% took down Ryuen.

As long Kushida don't try to pull some shit on him, 50% doesn't will bother himself with her anymore.

And that's why it's funny because it can trigger shipperfags and the like.
Also this

no

So is this girl still a virgin?

She had so little screentime that she was only mentioned in other people's memories

No.

>As Ryuuen shook his head and left, Kushida also spoke up. "I have to leave now too, my friend is calling me". Apologizing like that, Kushida quickly left the room after Ryuuen.

Yes but she will lose soon when Kiyotaka blackmails her.

Fumufumu (checks the afterword of volume 3). I see, I see. It seems the me of the past wanted to say 'I may have ended the manuscript at the good part' during the writing of volume 3. It seems it's useless this time too---(as follows)

Hello, this is Kinugasa who's determined to do it better next time. It's been 4 months. In volume 4, it's the second round of the special exam. From the cooperation between classes, this time it's a war of cooperation. This time too, the unexpected movements of the various classes is divided up between light and dark. I have the memory, as a student, of not being able to act as myself whenever I'm with students of other classes. A person who can talk with anyone else sure is amazing! Now, starting from next volume, the stage will return to that of the school and the second semester will begin. In volume 5, a person who is connected to the protagonist, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's past, may appear. And furthermore, not only the 1st years, but also senior students will start becoming involved.

How many more people will appear, you ask? As many as necessary will appear. An inexhaustible amount of them (Undisciplined). It's just, if possible, I'd like to give them all something like a side story. This time, the story developed into a more serious direction but if I can I also want to write a gas-free stupid story. And so, it's only brief but I will leave it on that note.

Oh and finally---I got engaged a few days ago. Tomose-san sorry!!!! (Meaningfully)

(This is the afterword of volume 4. Now as for Ibuki's SS, it would be a great help if SS user can handle it. But if not, may I have the raws to Ibuki's SS so I can translate it? I'd prefer txt raws if at all possible)

Arisu best girl.

>gas-free stupid story
Holocaust is confirmed wrong.

It's only this in jpeg imgur.com/a/2XajU

>I have the memory, as a student, of not being able to act as myself whenever I'm with students of other classes. A person who can talk with anyone else sure is amazing!
Literally 50%
>Oh and finally---I got engaged a few days ago. Tomose-san sorry!!!! (Meaningfully)
Why is he apologizing to Tomose?

Alternatively, he's already saved. Rest of humanity on the other hand needs saving.

>Why is he apologizing to Tomose?

Because Tomose was like Hirata during their high school days and was a raging faggot for Kinugasa who was 50%. Then Kinugasa NTR's Tomose's fake girlfriend who's exactly like Kei and later got engaged to her so he's apologizing to Tomose for that. It's literally 50%, Hirata and Kei if 50% wrote author with Hirata as his illustrator and Kei as his wife.

>(This is the afterword of volume 4. Now as for Ibuki's SS, it would be a great help if SS user can handle it. But if not, may I have the raws to Ibuki's SS so I can translate it? I'd prefer txt raws if at all possible)
I can do it tomorrow then, so you can focus on the main volumes

Probably about extending the deadline of his manuscript or something.

Cool. Thanks, SS user. I think I'll leave the translations at this for tonight then. I'll translate a large chunk of chapter 1 tomorrow morning and dump them all tomorrow evening. If this thread's still alive then I'll do it here, if not I suppose I'll make another thread for the dump.

Threadly reminder that 7.5 will be full on NTR until Kei mindbreaks.
