Hot Gimmick Chapter 45
Here's chapter 45. There's one more chapter in Volume 10 left to post, and I'll be putting that up here tomorrow. Some people have been wondering exactly how/why Hatsumi and Ryoki broke up, well, here's the chapter that has them breaking up. All confusion should be cleared up now ^^ It's behind a lj-cut to avoid spoilers. Enjoy!


Chapter 45

Page 1:
[continuation from last chapter:
Ryoki: The person you were looking for, the one who had the affair with Azusa’s mother, was my father.]

Page 2:
Ryoki: Apparently my parents were forced to marry each other because of their parents and
Ryoki: so it couldn’t have been helped that my father had other women he liked.
Ryoki: From what Mariko-san was saying, she’s known this for a long time.
Ryoki: Seems my father was pretty into that woman so to call it an affair…I think it was a little different.
Ryoki: Well,
Ryoki: It has nothing to do with me so I don’t really care.
Ryoki: If anything, I was only surprised
Ryoki: the woman was Azusa’s mother.
Ryoki: Because I thought the person she had the affair with was your father.
Hatsumi: …that’s…a lie…
Hatsumi: …but…

Page 3:
Hatsumi: My dad apologized to Azusa.
Hatsumi: He said “I’m sorry” while he was on his knees.
Ryoki: …oh…
Ryoki: turns out your father was just a cover.
Ryoki: It was a contract
Ryoki: between your father and mine.
Ryoki: I didn’t ask for the reasons….
Ryoki: but it would mean your father was carrying my father’s accusations.

Page 4:
Hatsumi: Tachibana-kun….
Hatsumi: did you know about this….
Hatsumi: …all along?

Page 5:
Hatsumi: If you knew…then why are you…saying it like…it doesn’t matter—
Hatsumi: …why…
Hatsumi: didn’t you…let me know?

Page 6:
Ryoki: Because I have nothing to do with it.
Ryoki: I don’t care what my father does.
Ryoki: I told you again and again, all I need is you.
Hatsumi: I thought for a long time…
Hatsumi: Azusa grew up…suffering…
Hatsumi: because of my father…
Hatsumi: I can’t believe this—
Hatsumi: it wasn’t…my father…

Page 7:
Ryoki: Our parents are our parents. We’re us. We’re completely different from them.
Ryoki: We have nothing to do with it.

Page 8:
Ryoki: My father, Azusa, right now, none of it matters.
Ryoki: We’re finished talking about this. Back to—
Hatsumi: How long have you known?

Page 9:
Hatsumi: --Is that why, last time…
Hatsumi: when I was saying how I wanted to reinvestigate with Onii-chan and Azusa you got so mad?!
[remembers back to Ryoki saying:
Ryoki: There’s no point in researching about something that happened a long time ago]
Hatsumi: --you knew, didn’t you?!
Hatsumi: You already knew?!
[remembers back to Ryoki saying:
Ryoki: This is stupid!]

Page 10:
Hatsumi: I wanted to know…the truth…about my father…
Hatsumi: How could you…--
Hatsumi: Why?! Why didn’t you tell me?!
Hatsumi: How could you…
Hatsumi: I can’t believe you…
Hatsumi: Tachibana-kun…
Ryoki: I told you.
Ryoki: I don’t care about it.
Ryoki: I completely forgot about it until I saw the picture.
Hatsumi: Wh—
Ryoki: Anyway,

Page 11:
Ryoki: You ran away from
Ryoki: your family issues, your parents, my mother, and your brother,
//ton// [push]
//dosa// [falls]
Ryoki: To me.

Page 12:
Ryoki: Then why are you still obsessing over it?
Ryoki: You came with me, didn’t you?
Ryoki: I’m the one you like, aren’t I?!
Ryoki: Not Azusa, not your family, not your brother—
Ryoki: hasn’t everything else become meaningless?!

Page 13:
Hatsumi: (But)

Page 14:
Hatsumi: (My father only acted as cover for Tachibana-kun’s father.)
Hatsumi: (Onii-chan)

Page 15:
Hatsumi: (He was criticized just because I wasn’t fit to be with Tachibana-kun)
Hatsumi: (My mom was hurt—)
Hatsumi: (And my family was destroyed.)

Page 16:
Hatsumi: …It’s too much…

Page 17:
Hatsumi: I can’t run away…
Hatsumi: I—it’s too much…
Hatsumi: I can’t just forget my family…
Hatsumi: I can’t concentrate on only you…

Page 18:
Hatsumi: I…
Hatsumi: can’t be your girlfriend anymore.
Hatsumi: No
Hatsumi: No
Hatsumi: No!

Page 19:
Hatsumi: We..
Hatsumi: weren’t meant to be from the very beginning…
Hatsumi: it’s…too much….

Page 20:
Ryoki: --Then
Ryoki: why did you
Ryoki: choose me?
Ryoki: …you said you’d forget your family.
Ryoki: You said you’d choose me, you said you’d stay by my side.
Ryoki: Stop kidding around!

Page 21:
Ryoki: When I’m here,
Ryoki: liking you this much—

Page 22:
Hatsumi: (But I can’t go on like this anymore.)
[dialogue below states: “Your family or Tachibana-kun—who will you choose?”]

Page 23:
Hatsumi: (This is all too heavy for me…)

Page 24:
Hatsumi: (I can’t go on like this anymore…)

AUUUGH! Why is it everytime I start to like Ryoki something happens and then I get REALLY REALLY MAD at him again? >.< I can see his point and all, but there's no person on the planet who can just really set aside their feelings for all the rest of the people in the world. He proves it too! He's all like "Blah blah just like me blah blah" If it's that easy for him to decide who he cares about he'd
1) Not have liked Hatsumi in the first place
2) COuld get over her.

-_-! Hypocrit!

I don't think it was just one thing that made her break up with him. His Dad's affair was the extra crack that broke the dam, but there were all those other family problems (all of which were somewhat caused by her relationship with Ryouki). Everything just compounded, so I can totally understand why she would crumble like that. I do fault her for just giving up though. I mean, she ought to have tried harder for the sake of her relationship. But she is a weak character so it's no surprise.

And I don't blame Ryouki for doing what he did. He knew full well his Dad's affair would ruin his relationship with Hatsumi, because she cares so much for her family. He was caught in a catch 22. Damned if he tells her. And damned if he doesn't. So he tried in vain to stop the inevitable. He even went as far as to tell her to choose him over her family, but from the time he found out his Dad's affair, he pretty much knew he was fighting a battle he'd already lost.
