#9 The Mysterious Poet

Nemu…

I have gathered all my love…

Into these 100 roses.

One half for before we met…

The other half for the time after.

From now on, I will become your rose and be by your side.

Nii-san?

At times, I will comfort you with my gentle fragrance.

And at other times, I will pierce your heart with my keen thorns.

Then again, I might be a gentle petal, embracing you forever.

Or perhaps…

Nii-san!

Keep fooling around like that and your life-span will be short.

Don’t do stupid stuff.

Ahh… the present.

What a waste.

It was delivered this morning, addressed to you… along with this poem.

Nii-san, did you read it?

Well, it wasn’t enclosed so… I’m sorry.

Geez… this is embarrassing.

Sure thing! How can you not be embarrassed when writing a poem like that?

Not that!

Reading it out loud… have you no delicacy at all?

Deli - ca - cy?

What is that?

Is it edible?

Do you want to be punished again?

I’m sorry.

But that’s weird… it’s not signed.

Maybe he thought he didn’t need to, because you’d recognize it.

Eh? I-I can’t think of anyone who would give me this.

Don’t be so sure.

This is a pretty sad story, you know…

Well, sorry!

Still, I wonder who it is?

All I can say is, that it’s someone who lacks imagination.

Sending someone roses on an island with everblooming sakuras.

That’s just like making someone eat an anmitsu after they went to a cake buffet.

Anmitsu : cold dessert of anko (red bean paste) and different kinds of mitsu (syrup).

Say…

Do you happen to be… jealous?

That’s a tough one.

As a brother, I sure am interested in the private relationships of my little sister.

So… that’s how it is…

What’s wrong?

Nothing.

What is it?

It’s just… It felt like someone was watching us.

Maybe it’s the “mysterious poet”.

Geez!

Nii-san, that is…

Sakura are sakura

It’s a play on words: bara = rose, bara/hara = stomach, bara-bara = torn apart

Roses are roses.

Cake and anmitsu go into a separate stomach.

My heart is torn apart by your beauty.

This person is crazy.

Nemu!

This guy!

He was probably listening to our conversation earlier.

Is it him?!

Nii-san!

What the hell are you thinking?

Oh, my little cat toy…

Cat toy actually refers to green bristle grass (setaria viridis). A favorite in anime to play with cats.

Playing with your heart.

Quit answering me with a poem!

Friendship turns into vengeance,

Thus men cross their fists.

Although I craved to be in a situation like this…

I’m not the guy you’re looking for.

Then, why don’t you say so to begin with!

How annoying…

Take one step and he is already mature,

Oh, how my heart is touched by the gentle breeze.

Are you sure it wasn’t you?

“Am I sure?”

Nemu!

What’s this?

It appears that Asakura’s little sister is being stalked by a poet.

If he can sneak in unnoticed… does that mean that he is from this school?

Let me make this clear, it’s not me!

I was just interrogated by Asakura.

Then, who is it?

Nemu, any idea who it is?

Nemu…

Nemu!

Asakura Nemu!

Day dreaming?

I-I’m sorry.

U-um…

Sensei?!

What is it, Asakura?

She’s been feeling a little sick ever since this morning.

I insisted that she should stay home but…

May I take her to the nurse’s office?

In respect of the elder brother’s exceptional kindness… I will allow it.

Thank you.

Let’s go, Nemu.

Eh?

Yeah…

I’m sorry.

Nii-san, thank you.

There’s probably no use telling you: “Don’t worry about it.”

But… Don’t worry about it.

Yeah.

Eh? Do I really have to sleep?

I already told Kouyomi-sensei that you would, so.. there’s no use complaining about it.

Geez… no one’s here.

Eh!? I don’t want to be alone!

Nii-san, stay here with me.

Well… I think I better get back.

I don’t want Suginami to get any funny ideas.

Please!

Nii-san, even if it’s troublesome, please!

So… she decides to sleep.

Utamaru!

Come over here, Utamaru!

You got this, Utamaru?

Starting now, you are Nemu’s bodyguard.

You understand?

Body - guard.

While I’m gone, you are going to protect Nemu.

Got it?

Do you even understand what I’m saying?

I’ll just have to trust you.

Utamaru! Utamaru?

I wonder where he went…

Shabu-shabu…

Shabu shabu : dish with a pot of boiling water where you can add vegetables, meat etc.

Huh? What’s the matter, Mako-chan?

Oh… it’s just that Nemu is…

At times like that, why don’t you invite her to have a casserole?

You’re right, maybe I’ll invite her next time.

Now Mako-chan… you do the Shabu-shabu too!

Yea.

Nii… san?

Wait up! Don’t be so pissed!

Naturally, you value your reputation over your little sister’s safety.

What do you mean, my “reputation”?

What I mean… like… rumors spreading about “you and your little sister”.

Stuff like that.

Well, of course that would be troublesome…

Wouldn’t that be troublesome for you, too?

Besides, you’re being rude to Utamaru.

We made a promise that he would protect you, right?

Just forget it.

You’re trying to tell me, “protect yourself”, right?

That’s why I’m saying, Utamaru is…

Nii-san… you idiot!

Nii-san?

Nemu Ne

Nemu Ne

Nemu Ne

Nemu Nemu Nemu Nemu Nemu Nemu…

Nemu!

What are you doing?

Well, I was just wondering if there was a way to get to the attic from here.

Forget that!

I shouldn’t.

At times like this… you can’t afford to overlook the basement and the attic.

Nii-san!

Are you having fun?

You too.

Yeah…

It reminds me of the times when we were little and used to hide in our secret base.

There doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious.

Well, now at least we know that the “mysterious poet” isn’t secretly living under our roof.

Let’s go back.

How are we gonna do that?

We’ll just turn around.

What are you doing?

But if I go first…

I’m wearing a skirt so…

Oh, right…

So you want me to go first, right?

Come in!

I can’t sleep.

Well, after sleeping that much in the nurse’s office, I didn’t think you’d sleep easily.

Come in.

Onii-chan will tell you a bed-time story.

Yeah.

Utamaru! You’ll catch a cold!

Utamaru!

A suspicious person!

When this candle goes out…

So will your life and soul.

After saying that, the old witch slowly began to blow out the light with her rotten breath.

KYAA!

Aaah!

Shh! I hear something.

It’s a thief!

After him!

After him!

Sakura!

Wait you…!

He disappeared…

Sakura, what’s the matter?

A thief tried to sneak into Nemu-chan’s room.

But he got away.

Underneath this night’s moonlight…

Your delicate white skin begins to shine.

Surrounded by the fragrance of the dancing sakura.

The moment Nemu-tan and I met…

Was carved into history, into my memory.

I wanted to see you, Nemu-tan!

“T-Tan!?”

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you!?

It would be quicker, if you just asked Nemu-tan right there.

Who is he?

How should I know?

Oh, c’mon…

You said you wanted to see me, so I came all the way here for you.

For me? What are you talking about!?

I don’t even know who you are.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

Why…?

Why must you be so mean to me?

I know everything about you, Nemu-tan!

Like you having a small freckle right here on your back.

Eh?

Or… like your index toe being longer than your big toe.

Ehh!

Even the kind of pajamas you wear to bed every night.

Noo! Stop it!

I was so happy when I got this poem from you!

“I want to become the petal of a sakura,”

“fluttering down, brushing your hands and lips,”

How do you know that?

“The Sakuras’ beauty is, they only bloom once a year,”

“Some say it like that. But I love this island’s Sakuras,”

“Because I always want to be by your side… blossoming forever.”

Stop it!

How do you know the poem I sent to Kaoru-chan!?

Um… are you Kaoru-chan?

Yes, I am… well more like “Kaoru-kun”.

Then… you mean Kaoru-chan wasn’t a girl?

Oh no…

Nemu-tan was thinking I was a girl all along?

Nooo!

So those kind words, and those beautiful poems… were intended for Kaoru-CHAN?

Well, yeah.

My God!

What’s with this guy?

That’s so cruel… that’s so harsh…

I didn’t think you were like “that!”

No, I’m not!

So… you like that kind of stuff?

No I don’t! That’s not how it is!

I met Kaoru-chan in a poem chatroom and always thought that he was a “she”.

So, what I’m getting at is…

Yeah yeah… I get you.

Nemu-chan, you jump to conclusions too quickly.

Nemu-chan, who did you really want to give that poem to?

That wasn’t…

Really?

Then… can I have it?

“I want to become the petal of a sakura,”

“fluttering down, brushing your hands and lips,”

“The Sakuras’ beauty is, they only bloom once a year,”

“Some say it like that. But I love this island’s Sakuras,”

“Because I always want to be by your side… blossoming forever.”

Nii-san… just tonight… could I sleep in your bed?

Like when we were young.

Well, yeah. A lot happened, so…

Just tonight!

Yeah!

Preview

I never would have guessed that Kaoru-chan was actually a guy.

Oh! That’s so harsh Nemu-tan, it’s too much.

You were still here?

Of course I am!

But Nemu-tan, if you want to love me as a girl… I am fine with that.

You can’t see the person you’re talking to on the net, so there’s lots of trouble…

But I heard there’s also a lot of trouble if you can read people’s minds.

The next episode is about the school festival!

Eh!? Shirakawa-san is going to sing at a recital!?

#10 Because I want you to listen…

What? She’s gonna participate in the “Miss Contest” too?

Kokoro no kakera atsumete

心のかけら集めて
