Hot Gimmick Chapter 48 Translation
Since no one's posted the translation for Chapter 48, (other than a summary, which the girl did a great job on XD) so I thought I'd write up a translation for it (since the mangaka has been drawing bigger pictures with less words it's much faster to translate :D) Just in case people don't want to be spoiled of Chapter 48 if they want to hold back until the volume is released, I put it behind a link. Enjoy!

Page Cover:
I love my brother---
but will these feelings change to love? [love as in the real thing, not the sibling bonding XD]
Page 1:
Shinogu: Would it be possible for you to look at me as a man?
Page 2:
Shinogu: There's something I have to apologize to you about.
Shinogu: ..Up until now,
Shinogu: I've never thought of you once as a sister.
Page 3:
Shinogu: For a long time
Shinogu: I thought
Shinogu: ...how good it would be if you were a girl that only I treasured.
Shinogu: If it were me,
Shinogu: I would treasure you more than anything.
Page 4:
//dokin dokinn// [hatsumi's heart beating]
Hatsumi: I..f..you say things...like that...all of a sudden
Hatsumi: it's a problem.
Shinogu: I..I'm..
Shinogu: I'm sorry. It would be, wouldn't it?
Shinogu: I'm sorry, it's just I got a little carried away
//biku// [hatsumi tensing and backing away from shinogu]
Hatsumi: Ah..
Page 5:
Shinogu: It's okay Hatsumi
Shinogu: I'm sorry I surprised you
Shinogu: It's all right if this is taken in slowly
Shingou: It's not like I wanted something or other to happen now so..
Shinogu: It's okay.
Shinogu: Okay? More importantly, let's go and get the supplies for dinner.
Shinogu: Hatsumi, you come too.
Hatsumi: Yeah..
Hatsumi: (No)
Page 6:
Hatsumi: (If I become too conscious of this, Onii-chan [Shinogu] will be worried. I know that..even though I know that..)
Hatsumi: (But)
Azusa (Shinogu-san loves you as a woman)
Hatsumi:(Now, it's truly...with this...)
Page 7:
Hatsumi: (Onii-chan really did stop being "Onii-chan")
Hatsumi: T..that's...
Hatsumi: a problem...
Hatsumi: (I really don't know what to do anymore)
Page 8:
Akane: Heyy Subaru-senpai why are you walking so far away from me
Subaru: No..but because, see, it's no good
Subaru: If rumours spread, it'll be a chore so---
Akane: What is that---
Woman: Then is it true she will be staying for a while at her parents' home?
Woman #2: That's right. I wonder if anything happened---
Akane: What...what are all those people doing over there...
Subaru: Ah...
Akane: Is that Ryoki's..?!
Page 9:
Ryoki's Mother: Goodbye
Akane: Then that talk before was about Tachibana-san?!
Akane: Then she'll be gone from this place? Lucky!!
Subaru: Akane-san, don't say things like that---
Father: Subaru's right
//gonn// [hits Akane lightly on the head ^^]
Akane: Dad!
Subaru: G-good afternoon
Akane: But it'll be so nice without her around
Akane: It was that woman's fault that Hatsumi broke up [with Ryoki]
Akane: She's even depressed enough that she's staying at Shinogu's house. Poor Hatsumi---
Page 10:
Father: ...with Shinogu....
Father: Hatsumi....
Akane: Eh? What? Did something happen?
Father: ...No---
Father: Let's talk this over slowly later, let's go home.
Akane: Subaru-senpai, see you later

//pinnn ponnn// [ringing door bell]
[the kanji sign on the wall says Tachibana--meaning he's ringing the doorbell to Ryoki's family's apartment]
//shiinnn// [silence]
Subaru: (one more time)
//pinnn ponnn//
Subaru: (Ryo-kun..I wonder if he's all right...is he not here?...)
Page 12:
Shinogu: Hatsumi, is there something you want to eat for dinner?
Shinogu: Last night there were hardly any vegetables for dinner so
Shinogu: tonight we'll properly have--
Hatsumi: No thanks
Hatsumi: I'm not feeling very hungry
Shinogu: Don't...saying things like that, come on.
Hatsumi: A rice ball or something like that will be fine. I'll go buy it on my own.
Hatsumi: (Why)
Hatsumi: (Do I have to feel so nervous?!)
Page 13:
Hatsumi: (Idiot) [she's calling Shinogu this ^^]
Hatsumi: (After saying things like that)
Hatsumi: (How can he act so normal?)
Hatsumi: (He knows how I'm upset as it is)
Hatsumi: (so why does he abruptly)
Hatsumi: (say something liket hat?)
//chira// [hatsumi briefly glancing over at Shinogu]
Page 14:
Shinogu: I'm making hot cocoa right now, so wait a while.
Shinogu: It's the one that you really liked yesterday--
Hatsumi: No thanks
Hatsumi: I don't want any
Hatsumi: I'm going to go and clean the bathtub [people go clean the tub when they're upset? XD]
Hatsumi: I'll be fine by myself.
//batan// [door closing]
[Hatsumi's having a flashback of what Shinogu told her: "I've never thought of you once as a sister"]
Page 15:
Hatsumi: (This is weird)
Hatsumi: (I love my brother...he's my brother...I don't want to be conscious of him like this)
//knock knock//
Shinogu: ...Hatsumi?
Shinogu: I got an urgent call. I'll have to leave right now.
Page 16:
Shinogu: Depending on the situation it might wind up being really late
Shinogu: I think that maybe I might end up spending the night over there
Shinogu: If that happens, make sure to lock up and go to sleep ahead of me.
//gatcha// [door opening]
Hatsumi: Ah..
Hatsumi: Um...is it your part time job..?
Shinogu: Yeah, the convenience store in front of the train station.
Shinogu: It seems like they suddenly ran short of workers
Page 17:
Shinogu: I'm sorry I have to suddenly leave you here by yourself
Hatsumi: It's...okay...please be careful.
//batann// [door closing]
//gatcha gatcha// [door locking]
//ka ka ka// [fading footsteps]
Page 18:
Hatsumi: (To think I'm so relieved)
Hatsumi: (that I don't have to be alone with my brother)
Hatsumi: (This definitely isn't good)
Hatsumi: (I can't go on relying on him so much)
Hatsumi: (but..I don't want to go back to the apartment)
Hatsumi: (What should I do...)
Page 19:
Hatsumi: (To me, my brother is my brother and)
Hatsumi: (all I wanted was for him to stay my brother)
Hatsumi: (That was all it was supposed to be..)
Hatsumi: (That was all...)
Page 20:
Hatsumi: (Why do I feel suffocated with my heart beating?) [doki doki ^^]
//haa// [him sighing ^^]
Page 21:
Shinogu: ...I'm the worst...
//pin ponn/ [door bell ringing]
Hatsumi: Onii-chan?
Kazama: What? Narita isn't here? [referring to Shinogu]
//gatcha// [door opening]
Hatsumi: Kazama-san!
Page 22:
Hatsumi: I'll be staying here while you're away, I'm sorry for the bother
Kazama: No no no
Kazama: I just came back here to get something I forgot
Kazama: I'll be leaving right away so just relax. So, where's Narita?
Hatsumi: He..had to go to his part time job at the convenience store because they suddenly ran short of people
Kazama: Eh?
Kazama: What's that? Right now he doesn't have any convenience store jobs
Hatsumi: Eh...
Hatsumi: B-but...
Hatsumi: He said that maybe he'll stay over there...
Kazama: What?! What is that?!
Kazama: There's just no way. There's no way he'll leave you here by yourself.
Hatsumi: Ah...
Page 23:
Hatsumi: Could it be...that maybe...
Hatsumi: he was worried about me...
Hatsumi: Onii-chan---
Hatsumi: What should I do, I--
Hatsumi: I have to go find him
Kazama: Hey
Kazama: Wait a sec, you don't know the roads around here do you?
Kazama: Did something happen with Narita?
Page 24:
Kazama: Sorry
Kazama: I know I'm just butting in but I heard the circumstances from
Kazama: Akane and a little from Narita himself
Kazama: Looking at him I thought,
Kazama: is this what it means to "love" someone
Kazama: because if he cuts his ties with your family, he really will be alone
Kazama: even then he chose that because he loves you
Page 25:
Hatsumi: ..a..lone..?
Kazama: The parents who he's related to are gone, and he said his relatives were gone too
Kazama: so that's what it would come down to, wouldn't it?
Kazama: ..hold on. Don't you know? Hasn't he told you this?
Kazama: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say anything that's not my business
Kazama: Sorry! I really am! Sorry!
Page 26:
Hatsumi: I'm going to go
Hatsumi: search for my brother.
Kazama: Wait a..sec...
Kazama: maybe...
Kazama: he might be close by.
Kazama: A place where he can protect you.
Page 27:
Kazama: He probably thought
Kazama: if it's here, it's close enough so he can quickly go if something happens
Page 28:
//knock knock//
Shinogu: H..Hatsumi?!
Shinogu: I..I was trying to get to my part time job and I..
//gatcha// [door opening]
Shinogu: Sorry, I--
Shinogu: I have to go right away--
Page 29:
//doki//
Hatsumi: It's cold..
Hatsumi: It was cold in there wasn't it?
Hatsumi: I'm sorry
Hatsumi: I'm so sorry
Hatsumi: I was scared because it seemed as if you were becoming another person
Hatsumi: but you see
Page 30:
Hatsumi: More than you becoming another person.
Hatsumi: I hate the thought of you being gone
Shinogu: ...Can I hug you...? [I'm pretty sure this is Shinogu saying this since in the next page he's the one that hugs her and not the other way around, I guess we'll only be sure once we get the next chapter ^^]

Hatsumi: (because I felt like I had to warm him up)
