Revision 2 by William Chow


Godai:  Kyoko-san, you're a widow?
Kyoko:  Yes..
Godai:  Forget about the dead one, and please be with me.
Kyoko:  I can't do that.
Godai:  Why?  I'm not good enough for you?
Kyoko:  To put it bluntly, yes.
Souchiro:  Kyoko, is the dinner ready?
Kyoko:  Yes, Souichiro-san.
Godai:  So, there you're Souichiro..  Kyoko-san, Don't !  He's dead.  Your husband is dead!!
Kyoko:  No, Souichiro-san isn't dead.  Souichiro-san is far much better man than you are.  In terms of both potential and capacity.  And even the face..
Souchiro:  See how beautiful I am?
Kyoko:  Souichiro-san..
Souchiro:  Kyoko..
( And in manga.. they start doing "it"...... DS)
Godai:  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

subtitle "Tormented Godai-kun!  The Man Kyoko-san Loves."
[Shadow of Souichiro]

Godai:  Oh.. dream.. terrifying
Kyoko:  Ichinose-san.. That story again?
Ichinose:  Come on, why don't you have a look?  This one is a business man grad of Keioh, pretty handsome.  Well, this one is from a good family.  I personally would go for this one..
Kyoko:  As I said before, I don't intend to get married again.
Ichinose:  Don't put it that way.  Come on, at least have a look.  Such a waste..
Kyoko:  It's OK  I'm happy this way.
Ichinose:  I know.  Being virtuous to your dead husband, right?  That's out of style, you know...  to the dead one....
Kyoko:  Souichiro-san isn't dead yet!    I still can't.. yet.....  At any rate, Godai-san!
Godai:  Y..yes!
Kyoko:  It's already noon!  What about the college.....  
Godai:  I was planning to go to afternoon lecture.
Ichinose:  You were waiting for her dry the underwears, right?
Godai:  No way!!    Damn she knew it..  Oh well, might as well show  up to one of them..

"baw!"
Godai:   !

Kyoko:  Oh..   Are you OK?  It's already noon.
Baw! 
Kyoko:  No, Don't be hasty!  No, Souichiro-san!!  
Godai:  ......   AARRGGHH!!
Kyoko:  What's wrong? 
Godai:  That's dog, you know?
Kyoko:  Yes, he's dog, so?
Godai:  You.. you prefer dogs?
"slap!"

"Alright, cancelation." "That prof isn't gonna last long.."
Sakamoto:  Godai! wanna go for a coffee?  No class, right?
Godai:  ?  Yeah.  Damn it, why did I came all the way down here,..  You gonna pay for me?
Sakamoto:  Wh..wha

Sakamoto:  Are you stupid or something?  
Friend:  There's no way she's not gonna slap you.
Sakamoto:  You don't sound normal..
Godai:  My tongue slipped .  The dream had so much impact...
Sakamoto:  The fact that you saw that kind of dream isn't normal to begin with.
Friend:  Are you OK?
Godai:  Could it be some sort of complex?  I always seem to see the dead husband behind kanrinin-san.  What kind of man he was.. face, character.. those kind of things..
Sakamoto:  If that kanrinin-san went crazy about him, he must've been hellova guy.
Godai:  Maybe..
Friend: It's so beautiful, being virtuous to only one man for life.
Godai:  That kind of thought is too unhealthy!
Friend: Why?  It's so romantic..  Maybe they promised each other.  Even they may be separated physically, they won't spiritually
Godai:  That's not good!!  She has to forget about him!!  Or else, even if she re-marries, she won't be happy!
Sakamoto:  Why are you so excited.  I mean, you're not going marry...  !! Could it be... are you?
Godai:  Something wrong with that?
waitress "One hot please."
hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Godai: What is it?
Friend:  You look so undependable.  Even I think so, needless to say the older woman.
Godai:  Ha! by the time I graduate......
Sakamoto:  How old will you be?  Kanrinin-san also ages automatically, you know.
Godai:  NO SHE WON'T AGE!!!
Sakamoto:  .... Oh thanks,. You're paying for us?
Godai:  !! ......................
(hihihihihi!)

Friend:  Thanks for the coffee.
Sakamoto:  See ya.  Why don't you start thinking about getting married after you get stable income.  
Friend:  Long before that, you better worry about your unit.

Godai:  Damn it..  Wait and look, someday I'll...  

Godai:  Kyoko, what're you doing?
Kyoko:  Oh, honey. I'm sorry, it's just the old habit.
Godai:  I'm not Godai as before.  I graduated college on top of the list, and earning more than average.  Leave those kind of works to maids.
Kyoko:  But......
Godai:  You don't have to worry and leave everything to me.
Kyoko:  How dependable you're..
"Boing!"
.........................

Godai:  Damn. tonight is this only again.  Better start looking for part time..
Yotsuya:  Sakanoyu in next town, wants part timer.  560 yen per hour.
Godai:  !!  Yotsuya-san!  How many times do I have to tell you to come into my room by knocking on the door!!  
Yotsuya:  One person only.  Better hurry.
Godai:  Why?  Why should I work at public bath?
Yotsuya:  You may get to sit at the cashier.  then you can look into women's side, too.
Godai:  I see...
Yotsuya:  Godai-kun, if that happens, "slurp!" please let me take your part, too.
Godai:  But!  Can a student part timer sit at the cashier right away?
Yotsuya:  If not, negotiate  
Godai:  Yotsuya-san!!  WILL YOU CUT IT OUT??!!  THIS IS MY DINNER!!
Yotsuya:  Godai-kun, Souichiro-san wasn't scrooge like you.
Godai:  !!!  You met Souichiro-san?
(Nice catch..  Yotsuya-san.... DS)
Yotsuya:  He was perfect man.  Face was... say like an kabuki actor.  Strong-willed.  Gently spoken man.  Proposal to kanrinin-san was radical.  He expressed his feeling with hot kiss.  On top of that, it was the day after they met.  
Godai:  ...............
"Slurp"
Yotsuya:  That's what I always imagined.
Godai:  ????!!!!!!!!!!
Yotsuya:  I wish I could meet him to see if I'm right.  Thank you for the dinner.  Oh, and don't peep.
(So, what's Godai-kun gonna eat for tonight?  DS)

Kyoko:  Oh.. so pretty..

Kyoko:  ! Look, Souichiro-san!  Hydragea buds are getting this large.
Souchiro:  Kyoko, look this way.  Smile..

Kyoko:  Sure.. Yes, yes..  Good night..  (click..)  sigh............

Kyoko:  So, if you don't want to..you can say no..
Godai:  Oh no.  I'll happily take the job.

Ichinose:  Yes..
Akemi:  From the beginning  to end.
Ichinose:  You've made guttsy move.  Making him a tutor.
Akemi:  Aren't you about to throw away the rest of your life?
Kyoko:  You don't have to say that far...
Akemi:  But the way you were, you aren't trusting him either, did you?
Kyoko:  It's just that man looks so undependable....
Ichinose +Akemi:  That man!?

Godai:  Good evening.
Mom:  I'm Ikuko's mother.  Sorry for asking for a hard request.
Godai:  No, not at all.
Mom:  She's selfish girl, so if she doesn't obey you, please punish her at will.
Ikuko:  I will obedient.
Mom:  She's always like that, so.
Godai:  hahahahaha

Akemi:  You know, you hear a lot.  Affair between housewife and student tutor.
Kyoko:  Can't be.  My sister in law isn't that type of woman!
Akemi:  But men would use force in extreme cases.
Ichinose:  Men are pretty indiscriminate, so maybe by accident..
Kyoko:  Then, my sister is safe.
Akemi:  Then the worry is the niece.
Kyoko:  Will you stop joking?!!!!  Ikuko is only 12 years old!!
Akemi:  Girls nowadays mature pretty quickly.  And he is pretty weak willed.
Ichinose:   Yeah, maybe by accident..
(I might....  such a dangerous guy....  DS)
Kyoko:  Will you please stop it?  I'm starting to feel sick.. If that kind of thing happens, there's no way I can apolozige..  Oh, god please do not create such terrible incident. 
Akemi:  It's so fun joking on her.
Ichinose:  She takes it pretty seriously. hahahahaahaha

Godai:  So, this is "be" verb, right?  What form is it with "Tom"?
(Now you see why Japanese can't speak English?  DS)
Ikuko:  Hmmmmmmm  Sensei, got any girlfriend?
Godai:  Don't talk about unrelated things.
Ikuko:  Yeah, you changed the subject, you have one!
Godai:  You're the one who stray off the course.
Ikuko:  There you go again!
Mom:  How about a tea?
Godai:  ! So, you switch X with 2.
Ikuko:  Yes, sensei !
Mom:  Why don't you take a little break?
Godai:  Oh, don't worry about it.
Mom:  Ikuko, are you studying hard?
