Blue [Chapter 10-11]

Summarized by: Marx

This chapter starts off with a picture of when Mimi kissed Hikari on the cheek that day. She narrates that from that day, he was her only first love. Now, ten years later, where is our future heading? It’s already the middle of the day, and Sumire and Hikari still haven’t returned. Yousuke comments that people are starting to suspect. Mimi starts heading off, but then Yousuke grabs her arm and asks her where she’s going. She yells at him to let her go, and that she’s going to look for them. She then runs off. At the clearing, Hikari is hugging Sumire, and he apologises to her. Sumire’s crying, and asks Hikari why she’s no good, and why it’s Mimi-chan. She says she doesn’t understand. Hikari looks at her, and says that he made a wish on the blue cat. His wish is ‘I want to become strong.’ He says that when they were children Mimi would often come to him and cry, saying that she only has Hikari. He says he wants to become strong for that girl, so he’s going to work hard. Even now, he’s incredibly happy when Mimi smiles. He’s going to use his power and make her smile. It has to be Mimi. At this point, Mimi and Yousuke find them, and Mimi sees that they’re still embracing. He says that it’s fine if she gets mad or attacks him, but she should remember that Mimi is the one he loves. He releases Sumire, then he sees Mimi and goes over to her. As he hugs her, he apologises for worrying her, and says that he’s fine. Sumire adds that it’s alright, she understands. Sumire is smiling a slightly pained smile, thanks Hikari and apologises to Mimi. She tells Mimi that she was lying about having had sex with Hikari, she was jealous. She apologises for betraying Mimi. She bows down to Mimi, who reaches for Sumire’s shoulder. She thinks that this pure Sumire has strong feelings for Hikari, and she was scared. At this point, Hikari’s leg acts up again and he’s holding it while hopping up and down. They all turn their attention back to him, and Yousuke looks at Hikari's leg. He says that it’s probably broken, and it’s better if Hikari doesn’t walk. He says that he’s going to get the teacher, and tells them to wait. Sumire grabs his sleeve, and says that she’ll go with him. The two of them walk off, and Sumire smiles back at them and says ‘Bye bye.’

Now alone, Mimi leans her head against Hikari and says that she understands, about not handing Hikari over to anyone, that it’s only Hikari who loves all of her. She adds that no matter what, Hikari is necessary. Hikari falls back, and now Mimi is kind of half lying on his chest. Hikari looks serious, and says that he’s happy, but he can’t do anything when he’s pushed down at this sort of place. (now Mimi is pretty much lying on top of him.) Mimi gets off him, and he’s mumbling that there’s a really thin difference between love and lust. Mimi pauses for a moment, then says it’s fine if they do what Hikari wants. She suggests that they go to his house. Later, Mimi goes over to Hikari’s house. He exclaims that he’s going to have a nosebleed, she’s wearing a white pullover and knee high boots, and calls her a sly woman. She passes him and enters his house, and goes to his kitchen. She tells him to sit down because of his sprained leg. She goes to his sink and says she’s going to clean up for him, since he and his father don’t do a very good job. Hikari goes over to her and drapes his arms over her shoulders, asking if she’s scared. She punches him, and says she isn’t. It’s just that she has something she wants to say to him beforehand. She looks determined, and thinks that she doesn’t want to keep any secrets from Hikari. She shows him her phone, and says that she got a text from her ex-boyfriend, and tells him that it said ‘I can’t forget.’ Hikari looks shocked, and Mimi adds that she didn’t reply. She tells him that he was the first person she dated, the first person she was serious with, and when they parted the shock was so deep that she couldn’t even go to school, so she returned to the island. But then she exclaims that she’s starting to like Hikari. Hikari turns away, he smiles, and says that it’s nothing to worry about, as it’s all in the past. He adds that he’s going to go out to the ocean. He goes outside, but she runs after him, thinking that even if it is in the past, it would have hurt Hikari the most. She yells at him to wait, and when she catches up with him she hugs him from behind. She apologises, and suggests they go back to his house. Hikari grabs her, and drags her back to the house, then shoves her onto the bed. He bends over, and says then it’s okay to do as he pleases. Mimi goes red and closes her eyes, but he stops and asks why he can’t do it? He yells that he doesn’t understand, and says that he’s not jealous of the past guy. He leans back, and says that she returned to the island, to him, and that he won’t allow that guy to hurt Mimi. That’s what he thinks. He tears up, and Mimi recalls when they kissed as children. She thinks that nothing has changed in these ten years, not their relationship, and not her love for him. In the present, she leans forward and kisses him. To the side, her phone is ringing, and it’s Sensei calling her. No one picks up, and Mimi thinks ‘Goodbye, sensei. Somehow, these unbreakable bonds connect the two of us.’ So yeah, they’re kissing, and hugging, and stuff. :D

Chapter 11
Haha, so I’m going to skip the sex scene, and start with the scene of Sensei drinking tea with a woman. The woman comments that even though it’s clear, the Tokyo sky is still grey. Sensei says that the clear sky on the island where Mimi is, it is probably prettier. The woman says didn’t Mimi return to the island? Then sensei talks about how mother’s condition was not stable, (not sure who’s mother, but he’s referring to the other woman as ‘mother’). Then he says that lately he hasn’t had much contact with Mimi, and that she wasn’t picking up the phone. Then the woman starts coughing, and he calls out for her. It goes back to Mimi and Hikari, both of them are in the classroom blushing awkwardly as they say good morning. Hikari looks out the window and says that today the sky is beautiful. Mimi looks out the window next to him and says the sea is sparking. As they’re smiling out the window, people stand off to the side and wonder why they’re acting like that. Someone suggests that they had some progress. A guy goes up to Hikari, and asks if he, with his girlfriend… Hikari has a weird smile, and says that he realised? Mimi tries to get him to stop, but then he said that yesterday they had their first hand-holding date. The guy walks off, and Hikari says of course he’s not going to talk about it, her face yesterday was for him only. Then the black-haired girl goes up to Hikari and starts talking to him. Mimi thinks thank goodness, their relationship has become special. As she walks out the door, but she still gets annoyed at the girl flirting at Hikari. Hikari notices her leaving and asks where she’s going. She replies nowhere, and he follows her, asking if she’s mad. She still gives a vague answer, and he asks if she’s jealous that he was talking to other girls. She turns around and denies it, and Hikari says she ‘s not cute at all. She says that it’s fine if she’s not cute, but then Hikari leans in and kisses her. They were seen by their classmates, who make a fuss about it. One even tells the teacher that they kissed. Their classmates are crowding around them. Sumire is standing a little off to the side, and then she smiles. (not sure what kind of smile it is, could be a nice happy-for-her-friend smile or an evil I’m-gonna-break-you-up smile.) People are still crowding around them, and Hikari grabs her and says ‘let’s go’. Mimi thinks that she’s glad she returned to the island, because Hikari’s there. Then the earring that Hikari gave her falls off, and she bends down to pick it up. She’s sad that it broke, but Hikari tells her that they can buy a replacement, so that’s where they go.

They go to the place where Yousuke has his part time job. Mimi says that she didn’t know Yousuke had a part time job, and he just asks them what they came for. Mimi says that her earring broke, so they came here, and she asks him if he has the same one. He says they don’t. Mimi sees that it’s a glass jewelery store. A woman walks in and says she’s going to make a glass piece. Mimi is shocked, and wonders if that’s the store manager. She sees that Yousuke is blushing as he talks to her, and she thinks that maybe he likes that person. She tries to get Hikari to look at them too but he’s not paying attention. The woman then grabs Mimi’s cheeks and says that she’s a cute. She says that she really likes cute children. You-chan is cute too, but he’s not a girl. Yousuke just tells her to stop calling him ‘You-chan’. He adds that he’s not the cute type anyway. The woman, (Mariya) says that he’s at a rebellious age. She then pinches his cheeks and says that he’s not cute. They banter, and Mimi stares at them and is convinced that Yousuke likes Mariya, he’s making a different face than his usual one. Later, the two of them are home and Mimi thanks Yousuke, as her earring was fixed. Then, with a really shifty smile, she asks him a flood of questions like how long he’s liked that girl, and if they’re dating. He just says that now that she’s happy it seems she has time to meddle with other people. He adds that after having sex with Hikari, she’s completely calmed down. She blushes really badly after hearing this. He then holds out an imaginary microphone and pretends to interview her, asking if Hikari was unskilled, and if he was forceful. Mimi’s blushing, and saying that he’s indecent. But she adds that before, she was afraid of being touched by a man. But then she adds that she believes it’s okay if it’s Hikari. Yousuke smiles at her, and they seem to understand each other, but the moment is ruined when the phone starts ringing. Yousuke goes to answer it. He says he’ll talk more after he’s answered the phone. Mimi looks at him and thinks that he’s like an older brother. She plays with the dog, and says that Hikari, Yousuke, everyone is very kind. She thinks that if she stays with everyone, surely she will be very happy. Yousuke answers the phone, then without saying anything hands it over to Mimi. The voice on the other end says ‘It’s me, Mimi.’ Mimi’s shaking, and says ‘…sensei…why…’ Sensei smiles, and says that he couldn’t reach her on her phone so he used this way instead. He tells her that her mother has collapsed and is now in the hospital, and that she should immediately return to Tokyo.
