HG Chapter 53 Translation
Here it is, chapter 53 of Hot Gimmick, all translated ^^ I briefly rechecked it and I think there aren't any errors but if there are please let me know. I'll get to work on Teacher's Pet Chapter 3 soon--it's just it's not very...parent friendly material so I have to wait to get some alone time so I can translate it XD
Behind a link to avoid spoilers, enjoy :D

[I’ll just skip translating the cover page since there’s nothing that important ^^]
Page 2:
Woman: Good morning.
Woman #2: ‘Morning—
Woman #3: It’s a very nice day today, isn’t it?
Woman #3: Good morning everyone.
//exhale//

//ding dong—//
Hatsumi: (One more time—)
//ding dong—//
//no answer//
Hatsumi: (Tachibana-kun….I guess he must have headed to school already…)
Hatsumi: (None of the maids answered. It was just like what Subaru said.)
Hatsumi: (I couldn’t…)
Hatsumi: (see him.)
Akane: That’s no good, Hatsumi-chan!
Page 4:
Akane: When you don’t catch him in the morning you should either mail him or phone him. Got it? Okay?!
Akane: Geez—You always have to have someone watching over you, don’t you?
Hatsumi: You followed me…Aka-chin…
Akane: Because! You didn’t even mail him last night.
Akane: Aren’t you being a bit too casual about this?
Akane: If you like him, tell him already!
Akane: Tell him you want to go out with him again, right now!
//blush//
Akane: We’re talking about Ryoki-kun here, remember?! He’s really popular when it comes to girls. He’s going to get taken away by another girl!
Akane: Like by that good looking maid!
Akane: Or that girl with the Benz!
Page 5:
Hatsumi: B-but…his final exams start today…
Hatsumi: A lot of stuff’s been happening and he hasn’t studied at all. That’s why I thought it would be okay if it was after his exams.
Akane: Who cares about tests, right?!
Subaru: U-uh well—I’m in pretty hot water when it comes to tests so—
Hatsumi: (It’s not as if)
Hatsumi: (I’m worried about anything between Tachibana-kun and Saionji-san.)
Hatsumi: (Aka-chin’s sharp. I didn’t even tell her—)
Hatsumi: (The reason why mom’s eyes were red this morning)
Hatsumi: (was because Onii-chan handed in the family separation papers and he went off to Kunitachi.)
Hatsumi: (It was my fault he went back.)
Hatsumi: (It makes me wonder if it’s really okay for me to be thinking so much about Tachibana-kun.)
Page 6:
[remembering Ryoki saying: “We did what we set out to do. Her rack was so big, it was a chore to knead it—]
//stab//
Hatsumi: (No.)
Hatsumi: (The truth is, it does bother me.)
Hatsumi: (To think it would hurt this much…)
Hatsumi: (to know he did it…)
Hatsumi: (with someone else.)
Page 7:
Hatsumi: (He said that he didn’t want anyone but me, but he still did it. I wonder if he fell for Saionji-san.)
Hatsumi: (But the one who left him by himself was me.)
Hatsumi: (still…)
Hatsumi: (I’m scared. I can’t turn on my cell phone.)
Girl: See ya Hatsumi—
Azusa: Hatsumi!
Azusa: Do you have a sec?
Hatsumi: Azusa…?
Azusa: This is bad.
Page 8:
Azusa: They said Shinogu-san was hurt at work.
Azusa: I’m going to the hospital right away, so you come too.
//waver//
Azusa: Wah! Hatsumi!
Hatsumi: He-he’s hurt…
Hatsumi: Why…?
Azusa: I haven’t asked them for specifics yet.
Page 9:
Hatsumi: (What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?!)
Azusa: Just come with me for now. I got Rina to call the taxi so it should be waiting outside.
Hatsumi: (Onii-chan.)
Hatsumi: (Onii-chan.)
Azusa: There it is!
//close//
Azusa: Please head to Kunitachi.
Azusa: Yes, I’ll ask in detail—
Azusa: once we reach the station.
Hatsumi: Mom! I have to—
Hatsumi: Where’s the hospital? What’s the name?
//pi pi pi//
Page 10:
//pi//
Hatsumi: It couldn’t be….you were lying?!
Hatsumi: Then…about Onii-chan being in the hospital…
Azusa: It’s great you’re so slow. That’s just so like you.
Page 11:
Hatsumi: Then…nothing happened to Onii-chan…
Hatsumi: I’m so gla—…you’re awful….
Hatsumi: No matter what the circumstances are, there are lies you can tell and lies you should never tell. This is stepping over the line.
Hatsumi: Let me out. Stop the car!
Azusa: But you wouldn’t have come with me without a situation like this, right?
Hatsumi: Where are you goin—
Azusa: To Shinogu-san’s place.
Azusa: --yesterday when I called him, he told me he’d handed in the family separation papers.
Azusa: When I asked him if it was because he was finally going to be able to date you
Azusa: he didn’t say anything.
Page 12:
Azusa: Ryoki’s no good Hatsumi.
Azusa: He’s definitely no good.
Azusa: Meet with Shinogu-san and talk with him once more.
Azusa: It was because everything happened too fast that it put too much of a strain on your feelings.
Azusa: Shinogu-san’s the right one for you.
Page 13:
Azusa: Ryoki’s—That guy’s father hurt other people…
Azusa: They’re the kind of people who don’t feel anything when they do whatever it takes to get their way.
Azusa: You won’t be able to keep up with him.
Azusa: I know I don’t have any right to tell you this.
Azusa: But you can’t go knowing you’ll be hurt.
Azusa: Stay by Shinogu-san’s side, Hatsumi.
Azusa: Please.
Page 14:
Azusa: If you don’t,
Azusa: I—
Hatsumi: …But Azusa.
Hatsumi: I’m the one who hurt him and made him go back to Kunitachi.
Hatsumi: Once I’d decided to forget about Tachibana-kun, and I chose Onii-chan.
Hatsumi: But it was too much…
Hatsumi: I’m horrible…
Page 15:
Hatsumi: Onii-chan was always waiting for me.
Hatsumi: I…
Hatsumi: I told him I liked Tachibana-kun.
Hatsumi: Even if it meant hurting someone who’s so important to me…
Hatsumi: Even if mom and the others were against it…
Hatsumi: For the first time I knew what it felt like to have feelings I couldn’t hold back.
Hatsumi: (That’s right.)
Page 16:
Hatsumi: (Even if he did do it with Saionji-san)
Hatsumi: (I still like him.)
Hatsumi: (I like Tachibana-kun.)
Hatsumi: …That’s why I—
Hatsumi: can’t be mad at Tachibana-kun’s father,
Hatsumi: my dad, or you.
Hatsumi: …for example, even if I’m hurt because of my decision,
Hatsumi: it’s what I chose.
Page 17:
Azusa: Si—gh
Azusa: I guess the make-Hatsumi-cry strategy was a miss.
Hatsumi: Wha?
Azusa: It would have pissed me off to just let you be carried away by that Ryoki-idiot.
Azusa: So I thought I’d get in you two’s way for a little more.
Azusa: You didn’t fall for it this time though.
Hatsumi: Ah…
Hatsumi: Ah….
Hatsumi: You tricked me again!
Azusa: Hahahah~ I’m sorry taxi-driver-man.
[words above her head say “I can’t believe you!”]
Azusa: Can you take us to East Komazawa?
[driver replies “all righty” ^^]
Azusa: …But.
Azusa: I’m a little disappointed.
Azusa: I thought if you and Shinogu-san got together,
Azusa: I thought it would have stayed the three of us forever.
Page 18:
Azusa: Like when we were kids. The three of us.
Azusa: I thought we could stay happy…like a family…
//smile//
Azusa: As if.
Hatsumi: (I wonder if this is another joke.)
Hatsumi: (But when Azusa smiles, it means—)
Azusa: Hatsumi.
Azusa: I’ll give you your cell back.
Page 19:
Hatsumi: Ah…
Hatsumi: eh..?
//click//
Azusa: Sorry.
Azusa: I tricked you one more time.
Page 20:
Hatsumi: Azusa!!
Azusa: Let me send mail to my cell okay?
Azusa: Since I did go through all this trouble, I should save this one, right? (laugh)
//hahahaha//
Azusa: It’s not like it was your first kiss. So what’s wrong with it?
Hatsumi: That’s not the problem—
Hatsumi: Just now! You were talking about a story like that and then to go and—
Azusa: Oh, and keep this a secret from Shinogu-san, of course.
Page 21:
Azusa: It’s a bit dull, but let’s just say
Azusa: it’s another link to the revenge.
Hatsumi: Eh?
Tachibana’s Mother: Narita-san.
TM: It’s been a while.
Hatsumi: (Tachibana-san.)
Page 22:
TM: …how unpleasant.
TM: It’s unfair how I happen to bump into a person of the Odagiri family every time I come here.
TM: It was a mistake for me to come here personally.
Hatsumi: Wh—
Azusa: That’s my line. If you’d only
Azusa: kept your husband in check my mother might not have died.
TM: A—
TM: H-how rude!
Azusa: That’s the truth though, isn’t it? It’s your husband’s fault.
Azusa: It’s amazing how he was able to cover this up for so long.
TM: --I guess that’s correct.
TM: Now I think about it, you are a victim as well.
Hatsumi: (Eh?)
Page 23:
TM: But please be assured.
TM: All this unpleasantness will come to a close today.
Hatsumi: (Eh?!)
TM: …Hatsumi-san? Where might I find your mother at this time?
TM: I visited your apartment today.
Hatsumi: Ah…u-um…
Hatsumi: My mother is still at work…
TM: I see..
TM: Then would it be all right if I ask of you a favor?
TM: Will you please
TM: give this to your parents?
Page 24:
Hatsumi: (W-what?! Some kind of document?)
Hatsumi: (Could it be a document letting dad know he’s fired?!)
TM: About the events as of late…
TM: I’d like for you and your family to be respectful of our secrets.
Azusa: Oh, so that’s how it is.
Azusa: It’s money to keep them quiet?
Hatsumi: Eh
Hatsumi: EH?!
TM: I’ve prepared a cheque for a ten million yen but
TM: if it is not enough, please contact me.
Hatsumi: We—
Hatsumi: don’t need something like this.
Hatsumi: Even if we don’t receive something like this, we wouldn’t tell anyone.
Page 25:
Hatsumi: My father was hiding this for eight years by lying to us.
Hatsumi: I think that my mother doesn’t know much of the details.
Hatsumi: And, I definitely wouldn’t tell anyone.
Hatsumi: Even my brother—
TM: …is that right?
TM: How bothersome.
TM: Before I leave this apartment,
TM: I wanted to settle everything.
Page 26:
Hatsumi: (She’s…)
Hatsumi: (going to leave?!)
Hatsumi: Eh…?
TM: I’m in the midst of a negotiation on the divorce.
TM: At any rate, I will be leaving this place and heading back to Kobe.
Azusa: D—
Azusa: Divorce?
TM: Of course, this will mean Ryoki will be leaving as well.
Page 27:
Hatsumi: Eh…?
Hatsumi: (Tachibana-kun will be going to Kobe..?)
TM: That’s why, even though it must be obvious to you now,
TM: it will mean you and Ryoki’s relationship will be over as well.
Hatsumi: (I don’t know)
Hatsumi: (anything like that.)
Hatsumi: I—
Hatsumi: haven’t heard…about this…
TM: Even if you say you weren’t aware….
TM: He is underage,
TM: and it’s a decision I, as a parent, made.
Page 28:
Ryoki: No.
Ryoki: I didn’t say I would go.
TM: Ryoki-san?!
Ryoki: Please don’t speak of such things to that idiot.
Page 29:
Hatsumi: Tac..hibana…kun…
TM: Ryoki-san, why are you here?!
TM: Today, you were supposed to spend the day talking with the lawyer—
Ryoki: I came here because I received a photo mail that pissed me off.
TM: Eh..?! Phot—
//quick movement//
Ryoki: Anyway—
Hatsumi: A photo mail—
Hatsumi: Did you send that mail to Tachibana-kun?!
Ryoki: I never said I’d take either of your sides.
Ryoki: But—
Page 30:
Ryoki: As soon as I turn eighteen,
Ryoki: I’m going to marry Hatsumi Narita
Ryoki: if you will agree to it, then I’ll take your side.
Hatsumi: Ma—
TM: W-wha—
TM: W-what are you saying—
Ryoki: Goodbye!
//realization//
Ryoki: Azusa, you bastard—
Ryoki: You have some nerve doing that to another person’s girl—
Azusa: Don’t you have to get going?
Azusa: Your mother looks desperate.
TM: W-wait Ryoki-san…
Ryoki: Remember—I’ll definitely—kill you—
Page 31:
TM: Wait, Ryoki-san!
TM: Ryoki-san!
TM: Ah…
//dizzy//
TM: Ahhhh….
Man: Ma’am!
Man: Please get a hold of yourself! I’ll prepare the car—
Azusa: Marriage—
Azusa: No way…[the small letters say “is he in elementary school or something?!”]
//bam//
Page 32:
Ryoki: Okay? Listen rea—lly closely Narita idiot.
Ryoki: If you do things like this when you’re married, it’s a crime.
Ryoki: Get it?! Understand?!
Hatsumi: M-
Hatsumi: Ma-
Hatsumi: Marriage—but this is so sudden—
Ryoki: What are you so worked over? I’ve already decided.
Hatsumi: That’s too much, I can’t—
Hatsumi: I’m still in high school…and I’m still in third year…
Ryoki: If we marry
Ryoki: more than your family, more than your brother,
Ryoki: I’ll be number one in your heart.
Page 33:
Ryoki: How about it? Sounds like a good plan, doesn’t it? It’s perfect.
Ryoki: The first person you did it with…was your brother…but!
Ryoki: The number one position will definitely belong to me!
Hatsumi: Even if we don’t do something like this…
Hatsumi: you’ll still be number one either way…
Page 34:
Ryoki: …huh?
Hatsumi: You said
Hatsumi: you and Saionji-san did it. That’s why I…went overboard…and lied…
Hatsumi: …the truth is
Hatsumi: I couldn’t do it with Onii—
Hatsumi: Ta—
Page 35:
Ryoki: …I didn’t do it either.
Ryoki: I’m telling you this, but I chose not to do it on purpose. Be happy about it.
Ryoki: It’s not as if I couldn’t do it. I just chose not to, got it?
Page 36:
Ryoki: I’ve decided.
Ryoki: I’ll definitely marry you.

Hatsumi: haven’t heard…about this…
TM: Even if you say you weren’t aware….
TM: He is underage,
TM: and it’s a decision I, as a parent, made.

Ryoki: No.
Ryoki: I didn’t say I would go.
TM: Ryoki-san?!
Ryoki: Please don’t speak of such things to that idiot.

Hatsumi: Tac..hibana…kun…
TM: Ryoki-san, why are you here?!
TM: Today, you were supposed to spend the day talking with the lawyer—
Ryoki: I came here because I received a photo mail that pissed me off.
TM: Eh..?! Phot—
//quick movement//
Ryoki: Anyway—
Hatsumi: A photo mail—
Hatsumi: Did you send that mail to Tachibana-kun?!
Ryoki: I never said I’d take either of your sides.
Ryoki: But—

Ryoki: As soon as I turn eighteen,
Ryoki: I’m going to marry Hatsumi Narita
Ryoki: if you will agree to it, then I’ll take your side.
Hatsumi: Ma—
TM: W-wha—
TM: W-what are you saying—
Ryoki: Goodbye!
//realization//
Ryoki: Azusa, you bastard—
Ryoki: You have some nerve doing that to another person’s girl—
Azusa: Don’t you have to get going?
Azusa: Your mother looks desperate.
TM: W-wait Ryoki-san…
Ryoki: Remember—I’ll definitely—kill you—
Page 31:
TM: Wait, Ryoki-san!
TM: Ryoki-san!
TM: Ah…
//dizzy//
TM: Ahhhh….
Man: Ma’am!
Man: Please get a hold of yourself! I’ll prepare the car—
Azusa: Marriage—
Azusa: No way…[the small letters say “is he in elementary school or something?!”]
//bam//

Ryoki: Okay? Listen rea—lly closely Narita idiot.
Ryoki: If you do things like this when you’re married, it’s a crime.
Ryoki: Get it?! Understand?!
Hatsumi: M-
Hatsumi: Ma-
Hatsumi: Marriage—but this is so sudden—
Ryoki: What are you so worked over? I’ve already decided.
Hatsumi: That’s too much, I can’t—
Hatsumi: I’m still in high school…and I’m still in third year…
Ryoki: If we marry
Ryoki: more than your family, more than your brother,
Ryoki: I’ll be number one in your heart.
Page 33:
Ryoki: How about it? Sounds like a good plan, doesn’t it? It’s perfect.
Ryoki: The first person you did it with…was your brother…but!
Ryoki: The number one position will definitely belong to me!
Hatsumi: Even if we don’t do something like this…
Hatsumi: you’ll still be number one either way…
Page 34:
Ryoki: …huh?
Hatsumi: You said
Hatsumi: you and Saionji-san did it. That’s why I…went overboard…and lied…
Hatsumi: …the truth is
Hatsumi: I couldn’t do it with Onii—
Hatsumi: Ta—
Page 35:
Ryoki: …I didn’t do it either.
Ryoki: I’m telling you this, but I chose not to do it on purpose. Be happy about it.
Ryoki: It’s not as if I couldn’t do it. I just chose not to, got it?
Page 36:
Ryoki: I’ve decided.
Ryoki: I’ll definitely marry you.
