迷雾中的蝴蝶/Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru Chapter 14

Dear friends, anonymous has kindly corrected my translation. I am so thankful to learn from anonymous. I have made the necessary changes and really... this chapter is even more intense. Let's begin...

Aki sees Riko and Shinya. He considers the consequences if he acknowledges Riko in front of Shinya. Riko will know he is Crude Play's Aki and Shinya will know the nature of his relationship with Riko. He thinks of getting away from the scene before anyone finds out. He wonders whether he can trust Shinya and let him know about his relationship with Riko...

He decides to leave the scene before being found out. As he turns to leave, Shinya sees him and their eyes meet...
Shinya bids farewell to Riko...

Shinya calls Aki. He asks what Aki was doing there. Aki asks Shinya to meet him at his place.

At Aki's place... Shinya lets out a laughter. Aki asks what is so funny... Shinya relates that he has met the girl Takagi san talent-spotted. Shinya says she is like "mushroom"...

Shocked, Aki replied :"Mushroom?" Shinya says Riko's mushroom hair cut reminds him of a mushroom thus he is giving her the nickname mushroom. Quietly, Aki sighs and thinks to himself: "Ditto".

Aki asks how Shinya finds Riko's voice quality...

Shinya describes Riko's voice as having very good quality and she sings with feelings... but not any person can touch her... ~~~is he hinting to Aki to leave her alone?

Aki asks Shinya whether he is writing the songs Riko is singing... ~~~ oooppss! The look Shinya gives Aki speaks volumes...
Riko lies in bed and recalls the exchange she had with Shinya...
She wonders why she shook hands with Shinya without thinking things through carefully. She thinks it must be Shinya's resolve...

Back at Aki's place...Shinya tells Aki that he will be writing Riko's songs. Aki asks for him to play Riko's music but Shinya says something to the effect that playing Riko's debut songs is useless as he does not want to be confined by Crude Play. ~~~~ hmmm face-off time

Shinya details that Crude Play band exists because of Aki's music, and the only person who does not understand that is Aki. Shinya goes on to say that he is straight forward and doesn't like the murkiness of human relationships. He isn't Aki's friend and he didn't enter the music industry to be in Aki's band. He very much prefers to be a soloist, but

Shinya says that he has debut as a member of Crude Play 7 years ago and all along, he thinks and wishes for his own band (where he feels a sense of belonging) as now he feels uncomfortable...

...in the beginning, for Shinya, he did not think of anything outside of Crude Play, but now after discovering Riko, he is shocked that the thought of breaking away from the band excites him. He is disgusted that Takagi would waste such a talent (Riko) on Aki...

Shinya tells Aki he will not give Riko back or reconsider. And Aki:"..but she is my girlfriend, mushroom."

Gosh! So intense! I wonder how Aki will react to this onslaught.

Ardour Chapter 51 (Vol 11)

This chapter is about recognition. You Yi wants her mom's recognition of her talent as a fashion designer.

You Yi remembers that as she was growing up, no matter how hard she tried to get her mom's approval, mom did not even look at the drawings she did. She wonders why mom doesn't tell her she is not cut out to be a fashion designer. Sheng Ye tries to calm her...

Wow... that is certainly a good way to distract, ermm... calm You Yi.

Feeling overwhelmed, You Yi pushes Sheng Ye away. Sheng Ye explains that he is trying to comfort her. ~~~~~ : )

Sheng Ye: " Did you learn fashion designing to get your mom's approval?"

You Yi: " No. I love fashion designing."

Sheng Ye reminds You Yi that fashion designing can be subjective. Not everyone will like her designs but that does not mean she is not cut out to be a designer. Touched, You Yi hugs Sheng Ye.

Sheng Ye: "You want me to kiss you again?"

You Yi: "No! I just want a hug."

Sheng Ye sighs as he realises he will not get to kiss You Yi. You Yi is puzzled by his behaviour. ~~~ she is so clueless...

Wei asks Sheng Ye whether he realises that if You Yi wins the fashion design competition, she will be going overseas to study and they will be separated.

Sheng Ye: "This is something that will happen eventually..."

Zi Ying, the lyricist, enters the scene and complains that Sheng Ye lacks feelings when he sang one of the song she has written...

The next few pages details out the competitiveness of the fashion industry. One of You Yi's strengths is that she is not bound by her drawings and can adapt when needed. Her classmate and competitor notes the strength.


You Yi is so busy preparing for the competition she has not seen Sheng Ye for almost half a month.
Ah Yao sees the closeness between Sheng Ye and Zi Ying, the lyricist, thinks Sheng Ye is attracted to her. Adding to the confusion, Sheng Ye expresses that Zi Ying reminds him of an older version of You Yi.

On the day of the fashion design competition, You Yi wows the judges with her designs...

You Yi's mom acknowledges her talents. She expresses that her decision to distance herself from You Yi is right. She worries that You Yi will be influenced by her and not be able to establish herself in the fashion industry. You Yi tears as she realises that her mother has never shown her approval not because she thinks You Yi is not suitable to be a fashion designer but that she does not want to exert her influence on You Yi.

Both You Yi and her classmate are selected. You Yi is reminded that she will be separated from Sheng Ye.

You Yi heads towards Sheng Ye's place to look for him. At his place, Zi Ying opens the door. Shocked, You Yi hands her gift to Sheng Ye to her and leaves his apartment...

Sigh... you should have done that long time ago so that she feels more secure!!! We can expect more in the next chapter. Perhaps a kiss...

Yukito stretches out his hands to touch Kotori... Not knowing his intentions, Kotori hides from him and expresses that she is confused and wanted to confirm his feelings and intention. ~~~ *slaps forehead* this girl really takes clueless to the extreme!

Kotori thinks that Yukito has two sides to him. She is not sure which is real. He seems to like her and yet somedays, he ignores her. Yukito is put in a spot. ~~~ Hahaha...
Blushing... Yukito explains that he really likes her...
