Namaiki na Gal Ane wo Wakaraseru Hanashi - Ch. 18 - Change ②

I didn't notice her nails were shorten but after verifying the older chapters, they are. Might be what Egaki sensei intended because those long ass nails are awkward to me. A bit sad that she's really down on herself because being 21 & still in school (being in a university is an exception) would make you question your life choices. Thanks for the translations.

Protect your sister.

Good chapter! I was able to feel real sympathy for Komaru. Also, was this grab really only worth 4% (it was at 55% in chapter 14)?

If he had wrapped an arm around her waist, I bet it would have reached 69%

The rubbing sound of fabric should be "blurb blurb"

Here are some comments from the Japanese public on the Young Jump app:

全然夢追うには間に合う年齢だから諦めんじゃねぇぞ...

---

It's still not too late to chase your dreams, so don't give up...

---

頼られたい気持ちも迷惑かけたくない気持ちもどっちも分かる、、本音話せて良かった...!

---

I understand both the feeling of wanting to be relied on and the feeling of not wanting to be a burden... I'm glad they could speak honestly...!

---

根本暗いままって言っても、まだ美容師の専門学校にも行ってないんだから大目に見てやりなよ(笑)
この性格になる前の明るい性格のまま美容師になったらめっちゃ売れると思うから早く分からせてほしい

---

Even if you say she's still fundamentally gloomy, she hasn't even gone to cosmetic school yet, so cut her some slack (lol).
I think if she became a hairstylist with her cheerful personality from before she developed this one, she'd be really successful, so I hope she realizes that soon.

進路調査票捨てられるなら、他の先生伝いに渡したらいいんよ。そしたら、渡したって実績ができるから、紛失の責任は受け取り手になる

---

If he can throw away the career survey form, she should just pass it through another teacher. That way, she'll have a record of having handed it over, and the responsibility for any loss will fall on the person receiving it.

---

生徒の夢を潰す教師はいらん。何歳だろうと夢があるのも追うのも素敵だよ

---

A teacher who crushes a student's dreams is not needed. No matter how old you are, having dreams and pursuing them is wonderful.

---

夢もやりたいことも見つからずにとりあえずで大学行って暇持て余してるやつなんかいくらでもいるのに...。 二十歳過ぎてから専門学校行く人も珍 しくないし。いくつになっても夢は追いかけ続けていいんだよ! 子供にそう言ってあげられる親になりたい。

---

There are plenty of people who go to university just to pass the time because they haven't found their dreams or what they want to do... It's not uncommon for people to go to vocational school after they turn twenty. You can keep chasing your dreams no matter how old you are! I want to be the kind of parent who can say that to my child.

---

まだまだ若いじゃねぇか

---

You're still young, aren't you?

---

お姉ちゃんも弟もお互いのことをちゃんと分かってて、姉弟なんだなって思った。

---

I thought that both the older sister and the younger brother really understood each other, and that they truly are siblings.

---

反撃のターンか...

---

Is it time for a counterattack...?

---

想像以上にクズだな東岡
遠慮せずに潰してやれ

---

Higashoka is even more of a scumbag than I imagined.
Don't hold back, crush him.

---

先生をわからせる方にシフトするのか...?

---

Is he shifting to making the teacher understand...?

---

髪の根元黒いまま気にしない美容師は嫌だw

---

I hate hairstylists who don't care about the dark roots of the hair, lol.

---

夢を応援してくれる人がいるっていいよな

---

It's great to have people who support your dreams.

---

やったれ!

---

Go for it!

---

作者ぁ! 夢を追う現役世代に何言わせてんのっ
現実、ただでさえ美人はやんちゃなやつらの絡まれ対象なんだから、露出高い服装などを気にした方がよい(マンガだからえんやけど、、

---

Author! What are you having the current generation, who are chasing their dreams, say?
In reality, beautiful people are already targets for troublemakers, so they should be careful about wearing revealing clothes (though it's fine since it's a manga...).

---

進路調査票棄てる時点で懲戒ものなのだがお姉ちゃん通ってる学校はなんなの?

---

Throwing away the career survey form is already grounds for disciplinary action, but what kind of school is the older sister attending?

---

「アンタ」のこと良くわかっている姉w

---

The older sister who knows all about 'you' lol.

---

弟の目に光が

---

The light in the younger brother's eyes.

---

Additionally, here are the current like counts of the last 4.5 chapters:

Page 4 on top right
"Righ" should be "Right"?

I keep thinking exactly this! I think it would actually be really sweet if they go clothes shopping together and he helps pick out new clothes for her that are more modest so she doesn't attract as much unwanted attention. Her current style goes with the "cheeky" version of her (though very much in a "manga" sense, as commented), but I think the "real" her being brought back out by "understanding" should come with an image change (I'm also just personally a fan of more modest attire).

For real.

That last one made me chuckle lol

Thank you for translating these. I wouldn't have known these were MTL'd but thank you for the disclaimer. I know you said:

But it was really cool to get a glimpse of how this story is viewed in the country of origin. I love how many positive and encouraging comments there were about not giving up and continuing to chase your dreams and such. It helps that the Japanese comments are more abundant too, so there are more perspectives, I guess.

His punishment is to be raped by a dog after being beaten brutally by Jon Jones

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[odannyc85]

if she's so bothered by him being a virgin, then why doesn't she do him a solid and just take his v-card?

 

[Squall_Leonhart]

His punishment is to be raped by a dog after being beaten brutally by Jon Jones

the 10th story window.

Did NOT expect to see this referenced. Like ever.

Thanks for the TL.

It's on my mind every time I see him say that.

 

[lannzu_sambool]

thanks for your hard work

 

[huntercheco]

What if the more she understands the shorter her nails get? Hmm...

 

[SunSun]

Man now I'm worrying over making sure my kid's don't feel this way.

As an aside, there is one dream I'm against my kid's pursuing. My 8 year old wants to be a ballet dancer because pretty and cool, but I'm thinking damage to the feet, highly competitive environment, not many fall back options in case of injury or not making it at a professional level.
