Uncle

Page 5
2
You’ve grown, it’s been about 10 years right?
It has been a long time isn’t it?
3
Iori, we will be a family now, you don’t need to be formal
Ah… Yes, I understand
4
Were you even listening!?

Page 6
1
So an university by the sea huh….
3
Uncle, so this is
Yep

The shop that I’m proud of, diving shop “grand blue”

Page 7

Diving shop…

This shop is amazing isn’t it / I’m going to park the car, you can walk around and wait for me
Ah, yes

Wah

Eh!?
2
Ah…er!
Oh Iori, where did you go-!?
3
Ah, y…yes!
I’ll going in now-
4
I’ll be right there!
That person just now…
5
Seems like
I’ve meet her before?
6
What a beautiful… woman

Page 11
1
As chance would have it because of attending an university, I’ve moved to this town by the sea
2
Hearing the constant noise of ocean wave and / exposed to strong sun light
4
This is a completely different environment from before
6
What kind of encounters would be awaiting for me-

Page 12-13

Page 14
2
Out!!
SAFE!! / Yo yo eh
5
Whew
Ahhh
6
This is a completely different environment from before / What kind of encounters would be awaiting for me

Page 15
1
Yo yo eh yo eh!!!
2
No way! The new life that I look forward to / and what I’m seeing now is 180 degrees difference!
Iori once again, I welcome you into the store of my pride
3
Uncle! How can you sit here and be completely calm!? There definitely is something wrong with you right?
Eh? Ahh, other people said the same thing
4
Seems like this apron isn’t my style
That’s completely not what I’m talking about!

Page 16
1
No? it’s not about my outfit?
It is clothing! Although I’m talking about that, it isn’t weather if it fit your style or not, it’s a separate dimension
2
Ah-ah
Kya-!!!
3
This is normal here you know?
Please let me return to my home-!!
4
Uh-huh, homesick…?
Manager, who’s that just now?
I thought I heard a shriek just now
5
My nephew got accepted into Izu university, I have no idea where he ran off to after I brought him here
Eh? Manger’s nephew is a student at izu university?
6
He will be attending april this year
7
That means Yokita
Ah, right kotobuki

Page 17
1
This is a good chance to get the rookie
2
What was that just now…
Why is there a bunch of naked guys in the store…!?
3
Don’t tell me that diving shop is like this…? / changing inside the shop…
If that is true then it would be normal if there a naked people in the store right-?

Page 18
1
Wait new student!!
New student secure-!!!
2
Running naked outside the store is complete “out”
3
Wait newbie, why are you running away!?
Wouldn’t people run away after see you like this!? What’s going on, what’s with you all!?
4
So you are a shy boy who are afraid of strangers!?
Do you guys know what you look like right now!?
5
Don’t worry about something like that!!
Not worry!? That is the most important point!
6
At any rate, please hear us out
No way-!!!

Page 19
4
Welcome back iori, is your homesick cured?
Well, a man would one day leave his parents behind, you will get used to it
If you run into any problems, you can come and talk to us anytime
Hold on a second, why does this dialogue makes it sound like I was the cause of this situation?
5
Wasn’t it?
*point*
Of course not! To see so many naked people standing in the store suddenly upon entering the store, anyone would turn around and run away!
6
What kouhai, do you feel that just because we like it that we were all looking like this?
Isn’t it?
I don’t deny it
7
Perverts…
Well, hear me out kouhai / there is a reason that we look like this

Page 20
1
If there is no reason to be completely naked, then the culture level would regress back to the stone ages
Review what has been learned in the past and gain new insights
I will not play a Tsukkomi here
2
Well then
What is the reason that you’re all naked
3
Hmm, actually / we were doing rock-paper-scissors in deciding to see who has to prepare the oxygen tank
4
Prepare tanks?
The tank that we are preparing for diving are outside right?
5
Ahh
Those things
6
Therefore, we were just here doing rock-paper-scissors who would be the one to carry them to where customers would be using them
Ahh…and then?

Page 21
1
And then what?
Then, what does preparing the oxygen tanks have anything to do with you being completely nude?
2
What are you saying? Isn’t it common knowledge that when you are playing Yakyuken, there is a chance to become completely nude!?
Don’t you guys know a different variation of rock-paper-scissors!?
(TL note, yakyuken - a Japanese variation of rock-paper-scissors wherein the loser of each round removes an article of clothing)
3
No listen to me kouhai, I don’t want you to misunderstand / I never planned to take off my clothes
Er…
4
It just naturally all came off / do you understand what I’m saying?
No, not at all
5
Stop chatting over there / quickly and move those tanks
Roger
6
This is a good chance, iori, do you want to tag along and watch?
Where?
7
Sea / the sea

Page 22
2
Eh…
These are all diving equipment…
3
Hey, can you step a bit to the side
4
Hmm? What?
No, I was just thinking how decent you look with your clothes
5
What a strange thing to say, wouldn’t it be perverted to stand in front of people naked?
…what a shame, if you aren’t my senpai that I just met, you’d fly away from my punch

Page 23
2
All you have to do is load the tanks on to the cart?
You’re going to help moving them? Sorry for the bother
No, this isn’t a big deal
5
It might be late, but let me introduce myself
I’m Kotobuki Ryoujirou / Izu university mechanical engineer 2nd year / soon to be 3rd year

Page 24
1
Ah / you’re same major as I am
Is that so?
Yes
2
So what’s your name?
3
I’m Kitahara Iori / I’m about to enter as a mechanical engineer major
4
Is that so, I’m happy to have a kouhai with the same major joining our circle
I don’t recall ever saying about joining any circle
5
Something like that
I can tell with just one look

Page 25
1
Is that so
5
So you have an interest in diving?
The interest is there

Page 26
1
Ah, is that so
Yeah, I feel that this sport is a mature hobby and it sounds cool
2
That’s what we call reality
But I don’t feel that I can do it
3
? / why is that? Don’t you want to give it a try?
No, it’s not that I don’t want to give it a try…
5
I can’t swim
7
Ahahaha! Don’t tell me you’re bad in Japanese too?
Eek

Page27
1
Wh…why did you hit me just now?
No, no, look
2
I ask you “do you want to” and “do you not want to”, but yet you answer with “can” and “can’t”, the language sounds off
No! I want to dive into the sea, but if I can’t swim…
3
Something like that, you can simply work hard on later and it will be fine
Simply work hard isn’t simple…
4
If you start off and only choose something that you can do, then you wouldn’t be able to do anything in the beginning

Page 28
1
The most important thing is if you have any interest in it, isn’t that right?
4
Since you’re manager’s nephew, will you come by the store often?
As it stands, you can say during the school year, I will be staying at uncle’s house
5
Is that right, then we will have chance to go diving together
…that sounds
6
Oh, looks like one’s coming up

Page 29
2
Ah…!
3
Thank you for the hard work inspecting, how was it?
Hmm, the clarity of the sea at this level, it should be fine for night diving tonight.

Page 30
1
Then, as planned, I’ll drop off the tanks
Thank you, I’ll leave it to you
Yep!
3
Ah
4
Welcome Iori-kun
h…hi, please to meet you for the first time!
5
First time!?
6
Ahaha, you have forgotten about me?
Eh?

Page 31
1
Iori-kun is so cruel, you’ve forgotten what your cousin look like,
4
I’m sorry, I don’t remember
It’s been 10 years / so I suppose it can’t be helped

Page 32
1
How should I say this… / nanaka-san, has become prettier
Fufu, thank you
2
But, if you are surprised seeing me, wait until you see chisa, you will be shocked
Why?
3
It may not sound okay saying it as the older sister, but chisa has became a cutie
Eh…is that right, I can’t wait to meet but at the same time, a little nervous
4
So iori-kun are you going to join yokita-kun’s club then?
5
No, I don’t plan to at this time
Is that so? You hate diving?
Perhaps…I don’t think it’s because I hate it
6
Then, why not?
It was hard work to graduate from a all boy school, I want to keep a bit of distance
Keep distance, from what?
7
Isn’t it obvious?

Page 33
1
That’s right kotobuki, don’t give up!
Keep a distance from this kind of all boy atmosphere!
2
Oh / you’re back kouhai
3
Good work, let’s clean up
Please get dressed first

Page 34
1
Well then I’m going to work on the sales slips, I’ll leave Iori-kun in your care
*ahhhhhh
All right
2
Then, today we will have a welcoming party
3
Drink as much as you want
Here you go
Wait a minute
4
I never said I was going to join the circle, and I’m also not o…
Stop right there kouhai
5
Eh?
I’ve never asked about your age and you have never told me of your age

Page 35
1
Therefore, everyone can be happy right now, understand?
1-2
I don’t understand / you know that I’m only 1
2
Stop talking!
*gulp*
3
*cough cough*
What are you doing! To drink so much so suddenly!!?
4
Listen kouhai / no Iori
What is it
From what I’m see, it seems like you are against almost everything / it doesn’t fit you or it’s not your specialty
5
It…it isn’t like that…
It isn’t? it’s because you actually have never tried it and start by complaining
That’s not good you know kouhai, you have never tried it and already saying that streaking is bad-
You mean the fault is all mine completely!?
6
At any rate, drink this first and then we’ll play some yakyuken to correct your preconception
That’s right, you have to experience all things
You’re forcing me to experience something that’s not needed right?!

Page 36
1
Don’t be stupid, there doesn’t exist things in this world that you don’t need to experience
Give it a try, pretend you were tricked…how’s that?
I definitely refuse!
2
Please accept this
It’s not to fret about
No way, no thanks!
3
I definitely wouldn’t be infected / by all you senpei’s bad habits!

Page 37
2
Seems like Iori will be staying at our house starting today
3
Even if we’re cousins, to live under the same roof with a guy of similar age…
4
… / have it been 10 years…

Page 38
2
Oh yah is that all you got!?
All right! You sure can put them away iori!
You took down 3 people already, that’s horrifying

Page 39
1
Hurry up and give up, I want to show you how grand I am
*yell yell*
That’s tough talk! You were a weakling just now
…
Uaaah-
Let’s verify first if you beaten your opponent!
2
That’s enough! No matter how people come up against me, there is no way I’d loose my pants
Ah chisa-chan welcome back
…I’m home
6
Yo…yo, long time no see Chisa / do you remember me? From now on, we’ll be in the same school, let’s get along-
*slap*

Page 40
1
Onee-chan, we probably can’t keep this anymore
It’s not dirty!! I’m not as dirty as you imagined right!?
2
…I never expected that iori turn into such a horrible person
3
You’re wrong! I’m actually not like this!
*dash*
Then, goodbye garbage… / insect
Listen! Listen to my explanation!
4
Uaaaah… how did it turn out like this…
That’s right, chisa-chan knew Iori, since nanaka-san is you cousin

Page 41
1
So luxurious, to be able to move out of your parents to a place by the sea / live in the same home with beautiful cousin / what an amazing situation
But now I’m being treated like trash
2
But it’s okay, just having nanaka-san under the same roof / I’m satisfied
4
Ahh, you should give up iori, she definitely wouldn’t like you in that way
Er… / what do you mean by that?
5
About that…
Nanaka-san is trying to hide it, but actually it’s laughingly easy to notice-
6
*look around*
7
Chisa’s outfit

Page 42
3
That girl is a severe siscon
What happened to her in the last 10 years!!?
4
So cruel… she was the only one that I’ve met today that’s comforting
Don’t worry about it too much, it is normal to unable to obtain such thing in this type of situation

Page 43
1
Well, that’s true, I don’t want to cause any dramas at home
That’s right
2
In that case, I’ll work hard on my college life! I ‘ll find a cute girl and then fall in love. Enjoy my youth with lot of friends!
Oh, raising passion
Of course! Finally becoming a long awaited college student! I want to live the best campus life as seen in the tv drama!
3
Is that right, stop joking and drink more!
Are you saying what I said was a joke?!
4
Hmmm? Do you want me to teach you how to find some ‘fun’?
Please, must teach me senpai
Hmph, people can read you like a book

Page 44
1
Well, finally cleaned up, let’s find another place to drink
That’s right
2
I have to go! Need to get up early for work
I have to get on the last train
3
Then I’ll-
Oi oi iori, you have nothing to do with the train right?
4
Your home is grand blue isn’t it?
No no no! tomorrow is my first day guidance! If I don’t show up in the lecture hall by 9 it would be troublesome!
5
Don’t worry about it, he’ll take care of you
I guarantee you will not be late
Huh? / ah…

Page 45
2
Uuu…I drank too much…
2-3
Laugh laugh
*laugh laugh*
4
You drank that much on the first day that’s amazing
5
Ahh / this and that happened
It is happy to feels like a college student with a welcoming party right?
6
Happiness depends on whom you’re with
*laugh*
Perhaps
7
Then…

Page 46
1
If it is okay with you, do you want to join me for a happy welcoming party?
2
Eh?
To celebrate you first collect friend / how is that?
Ah so nice- I want to come too
Oh? / sounds interesting, can I come too
Me too
3
It’s fine!
Then, let’s all go!
4
Eh- I wanted it to be just the two of us, and not be bother by other people
Eh? You mean?
5
Ahahaha just kidding
Ahahahaha

Page 47
1
Ahahahaha
2
Heh heh heh
5
…huh…?
6
What, just a dream
Ouch
7
Shit, my head hurts… it’s all because of last night’s party…
Er… what time is it now…
9
Urk! I’m almost late! Who said that I “will not be late”
10
*chatter chatter*

Page 48
1
*chatter chatter*

Eh—

Lecture hall

Page 49
1
*chatter chatter*
2
See? / I said I guaranteed that you will not be late
You idiot!!!!
3
What’s wrong, you imagine it would be quite flexible
How can it be and on the very first day…
4
Iori, if you keep on talking you’ll really be late
Are you trying to waste all our effort?
AHHHH damn you!!

Page 50
1
I will not forget about this!!
2
Oh that guy looks quite gutsy
3
Ah, seem like he was binge drinking this morning in front of the lecture hall
Amazing…
…stink of alcohol
4
I want to hit someone…
I definitely will give that senpai a beat down!!
5
What the heck is he doing…
