I love how Japanese books portray Americans XD. As an American myself, I wouldn't say that they're entirely wrong haha, but I'm just so confused on why Japanese people think 90% of Americans are blond lol
I don't think it's that they think all Americans are blond. I think it's the fact that there are no blond Japanese people so making a character blond is a good way to indicate their foreign-ness

My suspension of disbelief couldn't handle the idea that An could speak perfect english just learning from school. There's just no way
I didn't interpret it as perfect English but just good enough basic English for a simple conversation. Which is an achievement for a Japanese school kid, yes, but not impossible. We don't really know all about her circumstances, but we do know she goes to a higher level school in a bigger town. So, it's quite possible she actually puts in a whole lot of effort in studying and something in her family also has made her do it. Maybe some kind of English language contact also exist for her. Like one of her parents is fluent in English and has made sure the daughter's only English source isn't the typical Japanese school experience, which isn't that great, based on everything I've seen over the years.

The realistic thing here is the fact that, without consideration, an American tourist assumes locals in a non-english foreign country can speak English and understand it just as well.
My friend's uncle traveled all over Europe speaking neither English nor any language they speak in continental Europe, and also typically drunk on the cheapest booze each country could offer. I don't even know how he booked the tickets.

It actually makes sense, since An is seen flipping through those English vocab cards in previous chapters. She probably has basic knowledge of English, just like what others said.

Anyways, this is another good chapter. Thanks for the tl!

Oof Shunpei, really shouldn't just blindly agree to whatever the tourist said. No way An will reveal what he said anytime soon, lol, as that would be too embarrassing to her. Eventually we should get something that will get people they know (e.g. classmates) to suspect something. Still have that sports festival thing Shunpei's classmates should be grilling him on

Shunpei got jealous of the tourist, but luckily the tourist was nice and even thought An-chan and MC were dating. If this were doujin, this chapter would have a different story. It’s definitely big, strong, long, and durable. make mind break until hooked :smugchisato:

thank you for translating
My guy please, for your sake and everyone else's, get off the h**tai. Your mind does not need the rot. Detox. Recalibrate. You don't realize how deep in the pit you were until you get out and start to see things cleanly again.

Going to the rural part of a country and not knowing a lick of the native language is certainly a strat but I can totally see a bunch of bone headed tourists doing that lol
