<part 2> <part one and raws somewhere below>
Ijuuin sees them off but still talks with Kaoruko about transportation (in France). Yuu sees them talking together while on his way to Ijuuin’s apartment. Ijuuin reassures him that he’ll be there in a moment.
I: “Wait a moment, Kaoruko-san. There’s something in your hair.”
M: “Kaoruko, I’m coming there with you two!”
K: “What are you going to do with your job, then?”
M: “I’ll take some leave!”
Ijuuin returns to his apartment.
Y: “It’s unusual for you to have female guests.”
I: “I told you before about the trip to France, right? I’m going there with that girl.”
Y: “Oh, so it is a trip. I thought it was all about collecting references.”
I: “aa, you’re curious.”
Y: “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be prying.”
I: “You thought she was my girlfriend?”
Y: “It’s not like that. I said I’m sorry.”
Ijuuin explains how he got to know Kaoruko and how ‘the person beside her would beat him to a pulp if he approached her’. Lol
I: Speaking of which, do you have a girlfriend, Yanase-kun?
Y: “No. The person I love already has someone by their (unspecified gender) side. I got no way of changing that.”
Ijuuin asks whether he tried to snatch that person away and challenge that other person. Yuu says it was a complete failure.
I: “So you don’t love that person anymore?”
Y: “No. Just because I said I gave up, it doesn’t mean that I’ve come to terms with it (he isn’t discerning whether he likes Chiaki or not at the moment.) “ I feel like I’m standing on top of some kind of a line”
Yuu says that he doesn’t want to be talked about anymore. After being given ingredients to take home, he proposes to make something out of them instead. Yuu also says to bring some spices to the table, as he is said to spice things mildly. Ijuuin reassures him he’s not the type to add any spices, which shocks Yuu. They kind of agree that there’s no much point of overly spicing things. lol
Y: “I’ve finally found someone who agrees on that with me. I don’t see a point in adding dressings, soy sauce, etc.”
I: “You’re the same as me, huh.”
Y: “When I go to the different workplace (to a different sensei’s place) I’m being called a rabbit.”
I: “Ahaha, I get that feeling”
Yuu is pleased because he’s ‘the first sensei to understand that’.
I: “Is that so? Then, today, I’ll try to become Yanase-kun’s 'first' as many times as possible (yeah, such a phrase could be used to mean other things as well hahah).
Yuu is startled. Ijuuin asks whether everything is okay.
Y: “Watch the way you put it (of saying)!”
‘I wonder if I’m really stepping on that line between the worlds? If I really was to do so, then how would I be feeling. A bit scared, maybe I would be a bit anticipating. Slowly, step by step.”
I: “Mh, I think this amount of spices is really good. It’s tasty.”
Y: “Isn’t it!”
