OK Chapter 11: Cheering up

Along the way to the bus stop, Komori peeked at my face a lot with his face blushing.

“What~? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“N-No, it’s not that….. Thank you for standing up for me.”

“It’s not like I did it for Glasses-kun….. Komori-kun or anything. I only did what I think is right.” Still, what a blunder. I decreased the number of Natsumi’s friends. But well, it’s impossible for me to be friends with people like them.

“You can just call me Glasses-kun if it’s more comfortable….. W-What should I call you?”

“I see. Then you can call me Natsumi or Nacchan, whichever is fine.”

Lost in Translation: Manner of Speech

When I started to translate this series, I agonized for quite a while about first-person pronoun. Should I use some sort of differentiation to mark which one is using watashi (neutral way of saying I) and which one is using ore (rough, masculine way of saying I)? For example, maybe by using bold font, underline, or a symbol (I, I, or I*)? I almost went through with one of them, but then I realized that this was only a part of a bigger problem.

OK Chapter 10: The karaoke incident

Yuuko returned just before the afternoon class.

She looked really dejected, how pitiful.

“Yuuko-chan, I’m sorry we couldn’t eat together. Let’s eat together tomorrow, okay?”

Hearing my words, Yuuko turned bright for a moment, but she immediately became dispirited again.

“I-It’s fine. Oono-san and I live in a different world after all…..”

“Why is that so? Aren’t we classmate?”

OK Chapter 9: School

We reached our destination and got off the bus. Then, we walked to the school.

Miyu was holding my hand.

So smooth~ Being a high school girl really is the best.

When I entered the classroom, two girls ran up towards me.

“Natsumi!”

“Thank goodness! I was so worried~!”

OK Chapter 8: On the bus

The next day.

I was nervous since morning.

From now, I have to attend school as a girl.

I have to make sure I don’t destroy the relationship between this Oono Natsumi and her friends.

First, because of the circumstances, I don’t know anything about the real Natsumi’s mannerism. So let’s find someone who knows her.

When I walked towards the bust stop, a tall girl with a short hair greeted me with a smile.

OK Chapter 7: Bath

When I returned to the gigantic house, there was a girl sitting on the sofa in the living room. She appeared to be a middle school student.

As soon as she saw me, she rushed over and hugged me instantly.

Ooh, I can feel something soft pressing my body.

This girl also smells really nice.

“Onee-chan! Thank goodness! I was so worried you won’t wake up again!”

I see. So she is my little sister.

OK Chapter 6: Careless

“You….. I don’t know where you hear that name, but stop making fun of adults. He’s an important senior to me. I won’t let you use his name to make fun of others.”

Kimura fired a sharp bloodlust towards me. Scary. He sure had become strong. I probably can’t win against him anymore.

“Kimura, it’s really me. It’s just that I’m now a high school girl. When you got into a fight with yakuza, didn’t I accompany you to their office to apologize? Do you remember that time that I jumped off from the third floor when they said that was the condition to earn their forgiveness? That sure beat me up. Thankfully I was saved by the electric cable. Ahahaha.

OK Chapter 5: Junior

Ooh. A 12-tatami room. So cheeky even though you’re just a high school girl.

Even my apartment was only 8 tatamis at most.

I looked around the room. There were posters of boybands on the wall.

Hmph. What’s so good about those guys who can only wriggle their body anyway?

OK Chapter 4: Rich

Hmm. Being harassed like that is also part of being a woman, huh.

Well, this is a hospital so various things can happen.

I’m sure this kind of thing wouldn’t happen in school.

 

I was looking at my face from several angles with a hand mirror when a nurse entered my room.

“Thank goodness you’re finally awake. Onee-san is really worried, you know? Let me check your temperature now.”

OK Chapter 3: Things a woman can’t do

When I got back to my room, a doctor was standing beside the woman earlier.

When the doctor saw me, she motioned me to lie down on the bed.

Then a nurse closed the curtain surrounding my bed.

I opened my clothes and let the doctor examined me with stethoscope.

The icy stethoscope touched my nipple.

An absurdly pleasant feeling ran through my body.
