I wonder if it'll take until the end/climax of the series before he learns the truth about how he's been misinterpreting everything she's ever said to him.

It's great as a gimmick to extend the misunderstanding that forms the premise for his character, but it also really puts their future together in jeopardy, to the point that I feel like the "big moment" should be him breaking off their engagement because he becomes utterly convinced she just doesn't love him the way he loves her, or something.

Luckily we the readers can know the full truth, and there's lots of other things along the way that cut the tension of that and make it less of a dreadful foreboding.



Thanks for the TL

I've been wondering this myself tbh. At a certain point, his communication problems and misunderstandings are going to keep piling up until the doubts force him to break things off. Hopefully they work through that before it happens, but I could easily see it being a big climax where the other characters slap him around and are like, "What are you doing you moron, she obviously loves you!" That being said, I really hope that she is there for him in the end. I feel that would be so much better since he's already put in a lot of work trying to understand her. They both do too much thinking for their own good.

it will take until his first child is old enough to explain it to him for him to get it

@Mindofone​

i dont think its causing any issues in their relationship, he doesnt know how dere she is but its not like he actually thinks she doesnt like him

 

[MiracleAttack]

The faces she makes are the best.

it's not like he's not insightful, but her brother has put it into his head that certain phrases in Kyoto dialect mean something different than they do - and she is a bit inscrutable to him by virtue of how she's just always been, and how bad she is at actually conveying her real feelings and emotions, even without his "distortion lens".

So yeah, I think it's reasonable to say that he isn't really certain how she really feels about him a lot of the time, and is just doing his best to be as good of a fiance as he can, and as appealing/worthy as he can, and hoping it's enough.

Which is what my wondering about the eventual breaking point is based within.

damn, she’s super cute, totally wife material for MC. especially with that kabedon, his dominant aura comes off really strong

thank you for translating

not just the brother, he just assumes that she has to be always speaking in kyoto-isms so looks them up and tries to aggresively follow them, like the tea one

can that girl get a little bit honest
cant fault the boy most of the time

It's just a hunch (as I can't read Japanese but do speak redneck): maybe the text's strange phrasing is more akin to "he done gave me a ring." In English linguistics this would be an example of the "perfective aspectual particle"(A.K.A. the "completive particle")—it indicates that the past action ("gave" in this case) was fully carried out, completely and without ambiguity. It's common in Southern American and African-American dialects, which (from what I've read in manga over the years) seem to have a few similarities with the Kyoto dialect, such as the frequent use of polite, roundabout, implicit turns of phrase. Like, y'all know what it means when someone with a southern drawl says "Bless your heart," right? It's not literal, that's for sure.

Might be coincidental, or it might be due to American cultural influence on how rural countryfolk are depicted. Like I said, just a hunch.

I suspect that will how it will go.

Granted, although I can see him trying to break up because of his insecurities, I cant see her letting it happen at all. I fear what she will do when she learns that he's insecure and unsure whether she loves him.

I definitely don't think it'll have an unhappy ending; that'd be a rug pull and a half.
But he's very much convinced of this "Kyoto dialect switcharoo", and has just taken it all at face value and assumes that it's what's been happening this entire time.
And we see in this chapter, that it's not actually the case with her - but because neither of them are communicating in a way that is clearly conveying what they mean to the other, the dissonance persists.

So if it does come to a head and he tries to break things off--likely, I expect, out of deference to her and a desire to not "chain her to him unhappily" or something, again putting her happiness first--she'll be shocked, ask why, and at that point they'll have their Big Talk and everything will come out in the open. I think it might be a bit of a rough conversation with lots of hurt feelings at least at first, but I see it working out between them, if only because our ML is so sensitive, and has been able to at least "see her heart" in the past, as it were.

I don't see it actually dissolving between them in this story. If this really was going to end with them apart, that would be the point that it'd happen; but that wouldn't be satisfying for a lot of readers, I'd bet, so.

His pupils should've been hearts on page 21.

Regarding that “aren’t you busy” thing I would have taken that the exact same way I feel like that’s the realist one of these misunderstandings because passive aggressive people really do speak like that

[pltnm_78]

For the asterisk ring quote, I think it’s more saying “after all he isn’t wearing his ring”
I’m pretty sure yubiwa shite refers to wearing a ring, Kure makes it the favor of him wearing the ring for her sake, and the ん I’m pretty sure is a negative marker in kansai ben, so literally, “after all, isn’t it because he isn’t (doing me the favor of) wearing his ring?” Which would make sense in context for her questioning why he’s more popular with the female customers. Not 100% sure but that’s my best interpretation I could think of.

SO this is the arc where the asshole brother gets summarily dismembered and thrown in the sea as fish food, right?

Cause I don't want to see his ugly face for even one more page. I already know he's going to be the worst kind of asshole and he'll try to sabotage our cute romance....
