Professor Ito's Special Someone translation
Key #2: Saionji Kaoru
Keita:
Saionji-saaan.
Saionji:
...What?
Keita:
Um, I... have work to do...
Saionji:
What did you say?
Keita:
Ugh... You don't have to be so angry...
Saionji:
Who made me angry?
Keita:
...Me.
Saionji:
That's right, you did, Keita.
Saionji:
Two weeks ago, when I called and said I was coming
home, didn't you say 'I'll definitely come pick you
up from the airport. I'll be marking every day on the
calendar, counting down the days. I can't wait!'?
Keita:
Y, yes...
Saionji:
And yet, you didn't come to pick me up, but went to
meet another man... is that how little a promise to me means?
Keita:
B, but, as a teacher at BL School, I
had to inform Kazuki... And Kazuki said
today was the only day he had time...
Saionji:
I don't care.
Keita:
Ugh...
Keita:
S, still, Saionji-san, I'm surprised
you got into this party...
Saionji:
I begged an acquaintance so I could
see you as soon as possible.
Be grateful.
Keita:
Ah...
Keita:
(I have the feeling he didn't beg.
Probably, since it's Kaoru...)
Saionji:
What?
Keita:
N, no!
It's nothing!!
Keita:
Well... I wish you had waited at the
hotel... I was going to come see you
as soon as I told Kazuki. That way,
we could have talked in a nicer atmosphere...
Saionji:
Are you trying to say that my bad mood is my own fault?
Keita:
No, that's not it at all. Not at all!
Keita:
(Ah... Why did it turn out like this!?
The timing sucks!!)
Keita:
(I don't want to be doing work when Kaoru is
finally coming back after so long... You're supposed
to be working hard a time like this, my luck!)
Saionji:
What's with that face? Does it bother you to be with me like this?
Keita:
Of course not!! Of course I'm happy!!
Since I haven't seen you in two months. Two months.
Saionji:
...That's right.
Keita:
I was lonely, wondering if I wouldn't
be able to see you until summer break...
Saionji:
You complained about that on the phone over and over,
so I came all the way from France to see you.
Keita:
Huh...? On the phone you said there was
a conference in Shanghai, so you might
as well stop by on the way, didn't you?
Saionji:
Hmph... That was to hide my embarrassment.
Keita:
Ah...
Keita:
(...I don't think hiding embarrassment is something
to boast about, but that's just like Kaoru...)
Keita:
(--Soon it will be a whole year since Kaoru decided
to go get a second graduate degree in France.)
Keita:
(It took a while before I got a job, and I spent that
time with Kaoru in his apartment in France. It was like
we had moved in together, and I was really happy.)
Keita:
(We made little meals together and
went on dates in Paris. And on the
weekends, we went on short trips to
various places in Italy and France.)
Keita:
(And now the best we can do is video chat. And because
of the time difference, I can't call him as much as I want to.)
Keita:
(So I was really happy when I learned
he would visit me, whether it's on
the way to a conference or not...)
Keita:
That reminds me, how did the
conference go? Did you present
something too?
Saionji:
No, since I was a professor's assistant this
time. I participated in several discussions,
but I didn't present a thesis.
Keita:
Um, what was it again? Econo...
Saionji:
Econophysics.
Keita:
Right! Economics with physics... wasn't it?
That's what you're studying in graduate school!
So just what were your discussions about...?
Saionji:
...Keita.
Keita:
Y, yes...?
Saionji:
If you're not interested, you don't have to force yourself to talk about it.
Keita:
I, I am interested. Only, it's a bit
too advanced for me... I mean, I don't
really get what you're saying...
Saionji:
Then you don't need to force yourself to try to understand it.
Keita:
But...
Saionji:
I say it over and over, every time. My research is
just out of personal curiosity. I know that analyzing
economics with the methods of quantum mechanics has
no effect on your life. For me, this is just one test
of acquiring a new vantage point in order to get a
high level view of the world, but ultimately,
it's nothing more than achieving a means to...
Keita:
.........
Saionji:
...I quit.
Keita:
Huuuh!? Why?
Saionji:
I don't like that face you're making. It says 'I'm completely lost and honestly, I'm not interested, but I'll listen respectfully because there's a good chance his mood will improve when he's talking about the things that interest him.'
Keita:
(That's 100% accurate!)
Keita:
W, well... um...
Saionji:
Am I wrong?
Keita:
...You're not wrong...
Saionji:
That just now made my displeasure index go up twenty points.
Keita:
Wh, what are you talking about?
Saionji:
I'm at 96 now. If I get to 100, I'm leaving you here and going back to graduate school.
Keita:
Wha!? There's only four points left.
That's not fair.
Saionji:
It just went up one more.
Keita:
Uuugh...
Saionji:
What will you do? You're already out of time.
Keita:
Out of time...
Saionji:
You should do what you want before I go back.
Keita:
What... I want...?
Saionji:
Yes. If you want to continue this
ridiculous conversation here,
I don't mind.
Keita:
Th, then... um... can I kiss you?
Saionji:
Wha!?
Keita:
Um, I... I was thinking I've wanted to
kiss you the whole time since we met,
I mean, it's been so long, I don't
want to fight like this...
Saionji:
.........
Keita:
Then, um... a kiss...
Saionji:
...Then do it.
I am your lover, after all...
Keita:
R, right.
Keita:
Kaoru... I love you.
*smooch*
Saionji:
Hmph... You should have done that
from the beginning...
Keita:
Sorry...
Saionji:
Don't apologize.
Keita:
But...
Saionji:
It's my fault.
I was sulking like a child.
Keita:
Kaoru...
Saionji:
Whether it's work or not, I don't
want to keep you from doing what you want to do.
Saionji:
But...
Saionji:
I was looking forward to seeing you
after so long too.
Keita:
Kaoru...
Saionji:
...You're grinning.
Keita:
Because I'm happy.
Saionji:
I see...
Keita:
Can I kiss you again?
Saionji:
...Then why don't you? Think about how many years
we've been together. Are we still at the point
where you have to ask permission to kiss me?
Keita:
But, after all... I don't want it
to bother you, even a little.
Saionji:
Then will you quit being a teacher and come with me?
Keita:
That's...
Saionji:
Heh, it was a joke. Don't look so upset.
Saionji:
Teaching is the job you chose. You should keep doing it until you're satisfied.
Keita:
I'll do my best.
Saionji:
Yes. You should do what you desire without hesitation.
Keita:
Like you do?
Saionji:
That's right.
Keita:
...But I think you go overboard a little doing what you want.
Saionji:
But that's why you love me, isn't it?
Keita:
Of course it is.
Keita:
You're selfish and do as you please, but you're more
honest with yourself than anyone. You never lie about
your feelings and I love you like that.
Saionji:
You really do indulge me. What if
I push your indulgence too far?
Keita:
Hehe, more than this?
Saionji:
Of course. See...?
Keita:
Uwah, Kaoru. Don't suddenly go limp!
Saionji:
I'll fall if you let go.
You can, if you want.
Keita:
I won't let go.
Saionji:
You don't have to force yourself.
Keita:
...I won't let go. Absolutely not,
no matter what, I won't let go.
Saionji:
Hehe, Keita, you really are cute.
Keita:
Are you back... in a good mood?
Saionji:
Yes. Anyway, I'll at least allow
Suzubishi to come over here.
Keita:
Wha!?
No, I'll just go and talk to him.
He can't leave the party...
Saionji:
He stole my time with you. So I'll
have him spare some time for me.
Keita:
No, but, see.
Anyway, he's like my boss... I mean,
maybe his time is more important,
I think...
Saionji:
Don't sound like a boring salaryman.
If you won't call, I will.
Give me the phone.
Keita:
Um, please wait a minute. In this position?
Saionji:
Yes. If he sees this, he won't want to talk long,
will he? Then he won't lose any time from work,
two birds with one stone.
Keita:
Kaoru...
Keita:
(Aaah... he's smiling...)
Saionji:
Keita, give me the phone.
Keita:
Yes...
Keita:
(Sorry, Kazuki. Now that it's come to this, I don't feel like defying Kaoru...)
Keita:
(Well, I think I love that Kaoru's this way.)
