Seeing this translated feels so weird to me. I'm pretty sure I have the original JP prints that I bought when they were released sitting in a box somewhere.
I'm not sure, but is the MC pretty dumb(though that would make the author dumb also)? Yes, he has to go out through the balcony to get out of his apartment, but why doesn't he just go back through the front door to get back inside instead of the balcony again? Though he is on the first floor...
