Revenge of the Fallen Angel Soprano-chan ch21-1: You Have to Start From What You Do Know... (Part 1)

p1

Was it Nene who got caught up in Mirei's business or the other way around...?

Erm... Where's Nana-san...?
She's taking a shower right now.

I'm sorry, Ikeda-san...
for getting you caught up in my business...

More importantly, how dare you do that to Nana!
Same goes to you...

I mean, surely you knew, right?
That the angel was in love with Mirei.

p2

After being shown all that,
I'd know even if I didn't want to...

To be honest, when I first started befriending Soprano-chan,
I just thought of it as a shortcut to cheer Nana up.

But for some reason...
just being with Soprano-chan felt really nice...

At some point, I wanted her all to myself.

p3

I got what I deserved.

Nana hating me too is just the natural outcome
of her seeing right through me...
I don't think she hates you.

You sisters should probably have a more proper chat.

Ah... Erm, this might sound awkward coming from me, but...

p4

I think it'll be fine too.

As a little sister myself, I know...
For as close as I am with Onee-chan,
there's a lot of things that irritate me too.

But even then, I can still somehow tell
that's she thinking of me...
Eat up.

p5

If I can feel that way despite how insensitive my sister can be,
Hmm~
then I'm certain your feelings have gotten across to Nene-san even clearer...

Why are you consoling me
when I'm the one who called you here, Nakamura-san...?
You have a point...
I'm just being meddlesome...

...But I more or less get what it is you're trying to say.

Thanks.

p6

That twirly twintail girl...

With the way she usual clings all over the angel,
I thought she was this total spoiled child,

but that was all because she's the big sister.

Maybe school was the one place
where she could get someone to spoil her.

p7

You should've told her that earlier.
That's not really my place to say.
I already told the little sister, after all.
That so...

At the very least, with all the effort she's put in,
there's no way she deserved that.

...Fufu. I see.
What's so funny?

I was just thinking...

p8

that I really am glad
to have met you, Emi-chan.

Huh?
Your way of nonchalantly thinking of others like just now
has saved me yet again...

You're always thinking of others,
my truly wonderful friend.

p9

I've always wished I could grow up
to become someone like you, Emi-chan.

...I see.

I think it'll be fine too.
So that's why she said that...

...It's only natural that Nana-san
would hate me.

That stuff Nana-san said about Soprano-chan becoming an actress.
I had heard it before,
but didn't dig any deeper at the time.

p10

I'm sure at this rate,
I'll remain the same old me who didn't care about how Soprano-chan feels...

She gave up on so many different futures to choose me,
so I need to take responsibility

and go out with Soprano-chan.

p11

You don't need to change so suddenly...

Emi-chan?

I need to go shopping, so I'm heading home.
Also,

just remember that it's a lot of hard work.
Both being a friend and being a lover.
