Chapter 12

Kazahaya : [My big eyes are a problem?] Eh? [Seems that people are always watching me. It has to be because I never attended school much...]
Nayuki  : Hey, Kudoh
Kazahaya : Yo, Nayuki. [Man, his smile is great.] Nayuki, have you had lunch yet?
Nayuki  : Yeah. Had mine. You didn't have lunch, right, Kudoh?
Kazahaya : Eh? How did you know?
Nayuki  : You were 'there' during lunchtime, right? At 'The Tree' [lit. 'Tree of Sweet Nothings. O_o]
Kazahaya : How did you know!
Nayuki  : That's a famous place in the school. If anyone's there, everyone in the whole school will know about it right away.
Kazahaya : Ah, the entire school! So that's why everybody's been staring at me, right?
Nayuki  : It's not only that, it's mainly because it's such a pity... because you're very beautiful, and it's not just the students in 3B who've got their eye on you. [It's because you're beautiful that there was such a commotion when you transferred here.]
Kazahaya : Ah? Got their eye on me?
Nayuki  : They wanna have a relationship with you. Of course, that means doing some other filthier things...
Kazahaya : But... but this is a boy's school...
Nayuki  : Uh-huh... it's because it's too restrictive here. This is the time when all youthful desires run wild, and when there're no girls around, anyone around's fair game.
Kazahaya : So... so that's how it is?
Nayuki  : Kudoh, do you know? If you take birds and separate them, putting the males in one nest, and the females in another, the females don't change, but the males all start chasing one another before long.
Kazahaya : Why?
Nayuki  : To chase their tail feathers. [I'm presuming this probably means 'To mate'] Men are really difficult. Especially for people like you and me, Kudoh, who're seen as girls by the others.
Kazahaya :  [Why is it that the expression on Nayuki's face doesn't seem to match what he's saying...]
Nayuki  : The guy you're dating is Himura [Rikuou] from D class, right?
Kazahaya : Da... Dating?!
Nayuki  : You mean he's not your type? When you look at him, he seems OK, handsome, tall, good body, seems to be good at sports.
Kazahaya : Sports?
Nayuki  : During the match between C and D class, Himura got three goals on his own, and his footwork's really fast.
Kazahaya : I... I didn't know about the match
Nayuki  : We can see it from here.
Kazahaya : If you even know how many goals he scored during the game, doesn't that mean you're always staring out the window during class?
Nayuki  : [mysterious smile]
Kazahaya : ?
Nayuki  : It's almost time for class. Shall we go back together?
Kazahaya : Uh-huh.

Nayuki  : But it really is a disaster that you transferred here during the Culture Festival and all the classes are all messed up.
Kazahaya : No, no, it's nothing... [More like luckily for me... If normal classes were being held, I wouldn't understand a thing] [Could it be that Kakei already knew things would be like this, so he let me take this job?]
Nayuki  : What's the matter?
Kazahaya : Nnh, nothing. But everyone seems to be taking it easy. Aren't we 3rd years supposed to be having our promotional examinations [I presume GCE O Levels or something...]? If they skip classes because of the Culture Festival...
Nayuki  : In a school like this in the mountains, there is too little entertainment. If we can't even enjoy ourselves a little, we wouldn't be able to study. Not to mention, using youth as an excuse to go crazy can be very troublesome also
Kazahaya : Looks like you under a lot of stress, Nayuki, being the Vice President of the Student's Council [Though I don't really understand...]
Nayuki  : Not really, though I do think that sometimes.
Kazahaya : Ah?
Nayuki  : I just think it to myself sometimes.
Kazahaya : Nayuki?
Nayuki  : Ah yes! Back to what we were talking about earlier!
Kazahaya : Ah?
Nayuki  : Are you and Himura an item?
Kazahaya : That, that, anyway that possibility
Nayuki  : None? Himura seems OK, and he transferred in about the same time as you did. You should get along better with him.
Kazahaya : [Transferred in on the same day.]
Nayuki  : However, like I said earlier, Himura's really hot too. Not as attractive as Kudoh [Kazahaya], but he's really making people take notice. You can't call him beautiful, but he looks pretty good anyhow. And his demeanour is a little fierce.
Kazahaya : Yeah! Yeah! He looks like a demon, doesn't he?
Nayuki  : Ah, but then, there's a problem.
Kazahaya : What what? [lit. nani nani... o_o Egads, he speaks like a girl, doesn't he...]
Nayuki  : His spectacles.
Kazahaya : Eh?
Nayuki  : They get in the way when you kiss. And they get in the way even more after you progress past the kissing.
Kazahaya : [vomits]
Nayuki  : For someone who lives in this day and age, you're really naïve/innocent, Kudoh. Ah. I need to go on stage. How about going back to class together after I'm done?
Kazahaya : [Was Nayuki playing me for a fool or something? Seems like I can be taken for a ride pretty easily. It's true Himura's not bad looking, has a great body. He's probably a favourite among the girls, and is really welcome among the boys too. Yeah, there is that possibility… Ah. What am I thinking?]

[WHY am I translating this?!?! 0_0'''']

[Auditorium]

Student Council President : Attention everyone, next up regarding the School Festival, the Council will like to announce our decisions
Kazahaya : [Hey, Nayuki. ... is that the Council President Mukoufujiwara or our Campus/Hostel President?]
Mukoufujiwara :  The budgets for the individual clubs are to to be left in the hands of the Respective Club Presidents.
Kazahaya : [Mukoufujiwara's pretty tall too, about Rikuou's height, I guess. Everyone's the same age... Mukoufujiwara, Rikuou, they're all too tall. Then again, Mukoufujiwara's pretty handsome himself.]
Mukoufujiwara  : And for this year's School Festival, we're also gonna hold a wedding ceremony.
[Cheering from the crowd]
Kazahaya : Wedding? What? [What's going on? They definitely mentioned wedding just now...]
Mukoufujiwara : We'll decide by balloting on the noticeboard.
[Nayuki glares at Mukoufujiwara]
Kazahaya : Eh, Nayuki... ? [That doesn't look normal for Nayuki, though we've only been classmates for 3 days] [asks someone beside him] Which way do Council Members exit?
Some Guy : [blushes] Through that door behind you...
Kazahaya : Thanx!
Student A : That's the transfer student, he's really beautiful!
Student B : Exactly! Too good for words!
Rikuou  : [talking to himself in a corner] Although in truth he's a lot more violent than he looks.

Kazahaya : Na...
[Nayuki  just walks out the door]
Mukoufujiwara  : Wait.
Kazahaya : [Mukoufujiwara?]
Nayuki  : What?
Mukoufujiwara  : I want to talk to you about something.
Nayuki  : I don't want to talk about it here.
Mukoufujiwara  : I...
Nayuki  : Didn't you hear me? I don't want to talk about it here.
Mukoufujiwara : Don't worry, the School Festival's preparations are going well, and this is the last of the activities at the school.
Nayuki  : We won't be able to meet again after we graduate.
Mukoufujiwara  : ... Zhi? [Nayuki's surname, which I dunno the kanji for... =_= Feel so inadequate...]
Nayuki  : Just wait happily for the wedding ceremony. We'll see who the ring belongs to, and whether that legend will come true. Later, Mukoufujiwara.
Kazahaya : [What... What in the world is going on?]
