Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! - Ch. 215 - I'm Still Such A Child

[WindMil]

the pain of having to spend money on essentials instead of games and treats is too real 💔

I don't think Kaoru understands how much Nanami's parents have already accepted him as son-in-law.

 

[DarkeLourd]

I have seen in enough manga how students like to stick to their uniform that I doubt it really plays a role. You'd probably assume they are on their way to some school club related competion or whatever.

If that was the case, there would probably be more than just two of them. And I think there would probably be a much greater chance that students from outside Tokyo would be heading into the city for a competition, not students from Tokyo heading somewhere else.

The other thing about the conductor asking was he wasn't being aggressive about it, Kaoru panicked because he's worried about his dad and about to to put himself into a space he's terrified of. He's not in the best headspace right now, so he kind of would've needed Nanami to bail him out of MOST social situations.

holy fuck that train ticket so pricey...

That was one inquisitive train conductor.

The other thing about the conductor asking was he wasn't being aggressive about it,

That's why I didn't react to it. They're in a relatively empty train, so asking them where they're heading is just casual conversation. Maybe also a bit of keeping track of where they're heading so they don't fall asleep and go past their stop or something.

As far as traveling alone, I don't see anything unusual with it. I once took a long-distance bus back when I was in 5th or 6th grade, to visit a pen pal. You know, back in the day where people wrote physical letters (although we started chatting on ICQ, if anyone remembers that).

Can't wait for the only way to save Kaoru's dad is for Kaoru to crossdress.

Well, they've already established that cross-dressed Kaoru looks like his mother, so obviously his dad will have memory damage and the only way to calm him down and start helping him to heal will be for Kaoru to impersonate his own mother and flirt with his dad.

I suppose in East Asia it might be normal to ask. Not as much individual-centric culture there. I wasn't referring to communiting, though. Just travelling to some other town/city for whatever reason.

I have seen in enough manga how students like to stick to their uniform that I doubt it really plays a role. You'd probably assume they are on their way to some school club related competion or whatever.

Part of it is also probably the fact that it is a boy and girl; two boys or two girls would likely be viewed with less potential concern.

Ah yes, nothing like referencing a 20 year old ad campaign for a credit card. Good on ya, Moe. 👍

I shed a tear when I read that one. It just hits different like getting a call about a collapsed parent

 

[Shimatta]

Ah, that NOK reference on the credit page brings back the memories...

The only time I used it myself was when a very young child's weight was given, something like 5.2 kg. I jumped into the comments and posted:
"For the metric impaired, 5.2 kg is ~1,195.40 NOK in 1-krone coins."

Thanks for the reminder. ^_^

 

[EmiYusa]

Enough of funeral jokes.... :C
Thanks for the translation!

 

[Rannnnn2]

oh hey, shes growing. Her guy is freaking out and she supported him naturally and ngl sweetly.

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[SveNo]

holy fuck that train ticket so pricey...

Almost like an airline ticket. The difference is the train takes you from city center to city center, and you don't have the hassle with boarding and security checks.

That was one inquisitive train conductor.

is a boy and girl

maybe he asking just in case of some certain situations, like a couple on a run?

 

[Lex79]

It's amazing how reliable Nanami can be now.
And, well, having to spend money for emergencies stings even as an adult.

 

[ruyum]

Thanks for the translations !!!!

 

[Lunkli]

It's nice to see Nanami being reliable here considering how she started out.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Oof that MoefriendCard ad is savage, more savage than the price of the DLCs.

 

[CelestialYuki25]

He's holding onto her. She gonna not be able to hold back after realizing it.
