Her surname is “Agatsuma”. The same kanji, with a “ga” between them, do in fact mean “my spouse”… but this is for sure a mistranslation.
Now, I'm willing to show a fair bit of leniency because the admission that this is an MTL is in the first page, along with an apology. Fine, we all have to start somewhere.
At the same time, though… calling this translation “rough” would be doing it a favour. It's… below passable, for my standards.
Below you can find an actual translation for the first ⅓ chapter. I'll admit that there are some translations I stole, but when this chapter's translation is off it's way off.
Page 1: The right part of this page has only SFX. The first panel says “hubbub”, the second says “clatter”.
hah
hah
Page 2:
Why are we here all of a sudden?
It was an emergency, alright‽
I was just about to get completely exposed to others!
What, again?
Say, can you put it in right now?
Huuuh‽ Right here‽
Just feel your way around! I can't go out like this!
Page 3:
Look, I'm completely loose already! You have to put it in!
Whoah… Machina-san…
Ah
Ahn! What are you doing‽ It's plopped out completely!
Fuck… Break-time's almost over! (“Fuck” is literally “how vexing”, BTW)
Sorry…
C'mon, just do it from behind!
Put it in at once!
Page 4:
My leg!
(Yes, you had to MTL sexual innuendos. An up-hill battle, to say the least.)
Page 5:
sfx: ding-dong
Let's go!
Ahhhh! That hit the spot!
Phew…
Please be careful! If you're exposed as a mecha at school it will be a whole scandal!
It was an accident, alright‽
A peel! A banana peel! Even a robot as sophisticated as myself couldn't have predicted it to have fallen in the school's corridors.
Of course I'll fall!
Fine, fine. Anyway the bell has rung so let's go back.
Page 6:
Right, take your seat! Class has started already!
I'm sorry I'm la~~te!
Where were you during break, anyway?
Machina…
Never fear! We called out your name!
I haven't even taken attendance yet, you know…
Page 7:
Hah…
Some things never change.
Her environment is always so bright…
A polar opposite from a class wall-flower like myself.
Actually, even though we're in the same class, we've never even interacted.
I do hold a one-sided affection for her, but we've never even discussed.
We live in different worlds.
I'm a loner, and she… is the class's, or rather the schools prima donna.
Page 8:
But, nobody knows
her secret.
Her true nature,
that no-one can ever know.
The time I came to know it,
was a few nights back.
I wonder if there's a fire somewhere. It sounds so loud.
There are even helicopters flying.
Page 9:
Hm?
There's someone here.
A girl?
Page 10:
So you're back.
Huh‽
My class-mate, Agatsuma Machina-san?
Er… why…
are you by my door?
Page 11:
I was waiting for you, Akutsu Keita.
Huh‽ You know my name‽
Yes I do. You do keep staring at me.
The class mecha-otaku, and also the robotics club's president and member.
Entrant and winner of several drone competitions, lives alone,
family lives far away, socialisation with the neighbourhood is tenuous at best.
How do you know so much about—
Ah!
This manual.
Can you understand its contents?
