Thank you for the Translation!

So…was that a time-skip at the end, or did Shigisawa lie to Miki?

The montage of her doing housework over and over, seeing societal roles she can’t fit everywhere she looks, aholes at work… in contrast to the cut to her being served a cup of warm milk.

 

[Felana]

So, she ended up leaving huh...

 

[flowsthead]

She probably ended up leaving because she wanted to make sure they met up again as equals or some shit like that, otherwise the build up doesn't really make sense.

Thanks for the translation (man this is all going way too fast. And the next chapter's the last one ).

It's not about social roles. Her life started going to shit when she found out she couldn't get pregnant. She knew her husband wanted very much to have kids, so she felt she had no purpose being married to him if she couldn't get pregnant. She started losing self-esteem and eventually forgot what she wanted for herself.

what about... adoption ?
I think author plan to make both the girl and her husband to be in better light after the truth reveal, which it is... i guess ? but honestly, this drama come off as hella funny if you think about it a bit. "Oh no... i am just a deadweight now, I have to leave" just to be a worse deadweight

Exactly. Unlike most series, she wasn't looking to be a "strong independent woman" or "girl boss" her way through life but getting shut down by her husband or something - she simply felt lost and decided that raising a family and being a home maker was a good option for her - she was even enjoying her life up until the hospital visit shattered that reality for her - and then she had nothing, and no path forward (as shown by her looking down an empty road).

She's a bit emotionally detached from life in general as her personality, which doesn't help either.

Thanks so much for the translation! I was just thinking on Friday that it was probably coming soon! 😁

Looking forward to the conclusion. My guess is the same as @flowsthead - Gotou-san will come back when she can feel she's on equal footing and not see herself as a burden. I'm sure that throwing herself at Shigisawa-san was an attempt to "pay her back". I'm glad Shigisawa-san cared too much about Gotou-san to let that happen and then immediately let her know that she still wanted her. That's real care.

Edit: Patiently waiting for the last chapter. Yes... patiently.

 

[Redrot]

Gotou better come back. Girl was so close to say gex!

 

[yanderecoverl]

Can't they just go on a date already and hold hands

 

[dokidoki]

I disagree. Prior to marriage she tried to have a career but nobody would take her seriously and she was stuck in the same tea serving loop that only seemed to have an exit towards marriage. Where she’d at least have a respectable role doing similar in serving one guy the rest of her life with all the stability perks that come with it. So she thought until she couldn’t fit the role anymore.

Which was why the MC who was somehow a self-sufficient, competent and successful person at work in comparison stood out to her so much. To me they are fellow glitches in the matrix coming from different extremes. One tried to fit in and one didn’t.

 

[Machaka22]

I didn't expect it to go that way. So, no "magically turn gay at the end", or "she was a closeted bi/lesbian" or "becoming lesbian after some gay sex".
That's some improvement coming from Kodama-sensei.
But there is one chapter left, so everything can happen.

Japan isn’t very high on the list of countries where people adopt a child outside of blood family. It’s extremely rare. A kid tends to either be sent to relatives or to state housing/fostering until aging out. So they are being entirely normal in not adopting. (Surprising fact is adult adoptions are in the high 90% of all adoptions.)

For Casual segs no, for a last 100 times will be enought
