MINTna bokura  - Chapter 6   [by Wataru Yoshimizu  - Ribon Nov'97 ]


00- The person Miyuu says her father, and her father on the family picture
    are different persons.  Why did she lie ?  Who is it ?
Title page : [edict translation v_v;;] Popular feeling focusing the mind !!
01- Maria and Noeru are talking about Miyuu.  Noeru would feel guilty if he
    looked again in the photo album to find more informations, but he doesn't
    dare to ask Miyuu.
02- Maria notices he's worried about Miyuu... is he in love ?  He says she's
    wrong.  He's just worried because they're friends.
03- Noeru leaves.  Maria thinks love is something natural.
04- Nothing can be deducted on Miyuu's situation... but something important
    was going to happen.  At the basket club, Noeru nervously asks "Who's
    nervous ?"  He says he's anxious about the score.  Maria and her roommate
    come (to help).
05- They all talk about a player from Hinochuu, he's supposed to be the same
    level as Sasa.  A voice calls from behind "Who is Maria ?"
06- (The voice was from that precise player.  He looks like a very young
     Kei-kun.)
07- Maria says that's her.  He says she's really pretty.  He heard they talked
    about him.  How did he know Maria ?  Because of his brother.
08- He's Hirobe's brother !  He asks Maria if she accepts to go out with him.
    Everybody is shocked.
09- While Noeru is very angry about the guy, Kanako tells Maria that's great :
    the guy is gorgeous, will she accept ?  Maria says no, that's a joke.
    Noeru forbids her to go with that guy.
10- Later, the guy plays... well.  He marks his fourth 'three points'.
11- His name is Hirobe Yoshiaki.  Noeru 'encourages' Sasa... but he's asked to
    take care of the score.
12- Hirobe's brother looks good, isn't it Maria...  He hits the bucket one
    more time.
13- He looks at Maria...  Noeru thinks 'Shit, he's skillful'  He notices Miyuu
    in the public.
14- He wonders if she came to observe Sasa.  Yoshiaki marks again...  "Again !?"
    shouts Noeru, but he's asked to note the score.
15- The match is over.  Noeru is irritated because of the guy's score.
    Sasa sees he talks with Maria and Kanako.
16- Does she want to go out with him ?  Is it serious ?  It is !  Yes ? No ?
    Noeru is furious.
17- Maria says yes.  The guy will phone her this evening, he'll have the phone
    number thanks his brother.  Ehe... Maria's got a boyfriend.
18- Noeru tells Maria she made a big error... she said (last month) "I'll
    wait until Hirobe leaves his girlfriend", "I'll never abandon !"... and
    that new character made her forget all this.
19- But Maria really feels like she loves that guy.  Sasa says something rude
    about women. (Try to make a sentence with 'interior', 'exterior' and
    'decision')  Maria tells him to shut up, else she can talk about boy's
    first kiss partner.
20- Maria and her roommate leave.  Sasa notices Noeru did talk...
    In Maria's room, she talks with Kanako.
21- Until yesterday, she always tought of Hirobe... but now, there's his
    brother.  Is she "non-serious" ?  It seems so.  Kanako says she isn't, she
    understand her feelings.  It was impossible not to accept.  This is not
    marriage !  She'll only begin to go out with him, that's all.
22- Maria is asked on the phone.  Kanako tells her to go fast, to keep courage.
    Maria thanks her.
23- "Sunday... at the aquarium... OK..." was all Noeru needed to hear, waiting
    hidden near the telephone.
24- Maria asks what they're doing here.  (Sasa is there too...)  Noeru says
    they couldn't guess were they'll be !  Yoshiaki says it's alright...
25- ...they'll "double-date".  Noeru is happy he'll be able offer some
    resistance to the couple.  Maria seems a little disappointed.
26- Yoshiaki tells Maria he thinks they're observed...  
27- He asks what they want to eat.  Noeru looks for Sasa.  Yoshiaki takes Maria
    away... that's no problem since Sasa and Noeru are together. v_v;
28- Maria is sorry, but she loves Yoshiaki... a lot.
29- Sasa dreams of fishing such big fishes.  Noeru wonders what he's thinking
    of.  He tells him they'll go to eat... but the two other are gone.
30- Noeru gets angry after Yoshiaki while Sasa returns to his thoughts...
