13.1 Somewhat Summary!
The last chapter was largely about Kyou and how he came to have feelings for Eri, so no one cared. This chapter starts with Fuyuki and Kisaki-senpai~ talking about their dogs. Senpai brought her dog, Kojirou, for the short film they're shooting. The girls all love him.
Fuyuki bumps into Eri, who's wearing a long, black wig. Idr if I mentioned in a previous summary, but Kyou initially wanted Fuyuki to be the main character of the film because she has long, black hair. Eri could see that Fuyuki was reluctant to take the role, so she said that she herself could just wear a wig and stepped in. Eri is weird about wanting Fuyuki's approval on this wig, because Eri is weird about everything, and I hate her. Fuyuki does say it's cute, and Eri lights up. Fuyuki also looks kinda like dazed/enamored with this new look, which is a bummer.
It's time to shoot, so Eri leaves. Senpai also has to leave because they're using her dog to shoot, so Fuyuki is left with Ino--the girl in the previous chapter who asked Kyou why he was even with Eri. Ino says that Eri is surprisingly good at acting. Fuyuki responds with something along the lines of, "Everyone else may not think so, but I've always thought she was pretty serious." Ino says something like, "She should be more serious about her boyfriend." Fuyuki never really acknowledges this comment about Eri because a nearby NPC complains about how they're out of cold drinks. Fuyuki volunteers to get the rest of the drinks that they left at the hotel. By time time Fuyuki turns her attention back to Ino, Ino is already moodily walking away.
On the way back from getting the drinks at the hotel, Fuyuki runs into Eri, who is trying to cool down with a hand-held fan. They small talk about the movie for a second. Fuyuki gives Eri a drink and comments on how the wig looks like real hair. Fuyuki reaches out to touch it, and that's when Eri reaches up to take her hand.
Fuyuki is, understandably, confused lol. She asks Eri if there's something wrong, and Eri says no. She puts Fuyuki's hand against her cheek, and Fuyuki is REAL flustered by that. By way of explanation, Eri just says that Fuyuki's hand is cold, and it feels nice.
I'm pretty bad at translating internal monologues, so this next part is rough. Fuyuki thinks about how Eri has always been a touchy person. But then there's some stuff I didn't super get... Something about Fuyuki being less... "reluctant"? Something else about being rejected? I don't even know who is being rejected because Japanese has no pronouns lmao. I'm sorry, someone fluent has to do this part.
But yeah, that's about it, aside from the probably major part I couldn't figure out how to translate, ahaha.
Idk if Ino is going to be a real contender for Kyou, but she could at least serve as a plot point. She could confess to Kyou out of frustration. Then, the next time Eri blows off Kyou, he could bring it up as an "other people want me, so are you treating me like I'm unworthy?" type thing. Eri is a head-f*ck as usual and I'm not going to try to figure that out right now.
