Editing Dokuro-chan:Volume1 Chapter2 (section)

=== 5 ===

“Hey, Sakura-kun! Don’t sleep! Wake up! Hey, wake up and play with me!”
 
The sight of Shizuki’s back appears in my mind and a sigh comes out automatically from deep within my throat.
 
“Sigh……”
 
”Sakura-kun~” 

Lying on the blanket since morning until now, I was vigorously being shaken by Dokuro with a force comparable to a level eight earthquake. 

After that------ 

We offered the weak and fainted Sabato as a tribute to the one in charge of the cinema, and escaped from there.
 
In whole, the date was a failure. (“Date Complete. Failure!” the special effects wordings appear)
 
And all that ruckus that happened in the cinema ends there……
 
“Sigh~ Where did it go……” 

The tiny box in my pocket disappeared.
 
I give off such a super big sigh that even my soul almost seems to be squeezed out with it.
 
…… That must look very compatible with Shizuki. 

“That is enough, Sakura-kun, you have been sighing all up till now! That way, your good luck is going to run off!” 

“Dokuro-chan, don’t talk about it! And don’t wear so little and run everywhere!”
 
After saying the words that I do not even understand myself, I pull my blankets. In other words, this is all Dokuro’s fault. 

“Huh~ But I don’t want to sleep yet! Wake up! I am so bored alone! Yaha------“ 

“Wah!!” 

The angry Dokuro jumps onto my body. I wriggle like a prawn curling up, and return to normal together with my blanket. Dokuro continues to shake around on the blanket, moving her weight that is just nice. 

“Then let me read a book for Sakura-kun to hear!”
 
Suddenly stopping the movements above me, Dokuro opens up my blanket to see my face. My heart feels warm from it. That is because I recall when I was little, the times my mother always read a book for me before sleeping.
 
Once I open my eyes, to the light coming from the circular lamp at the ceiling, Dokuro’s face appears, opposing that light. [looks like light shining from behind her? Not sure the actual way to translate it] I rub my eyes, and look at Dokuro.
 
“Hmm…… If that is the case, it is still acceptable…… What book are you going to read?” 

“Err…… A Dog (Note: The anime “A Dog of Flanders”, Taiwan translates it to Nello and his loyal dog or Nello and Patrasche) [actual text she says “Err…… Nello and…….” Here]……” 

Dokuro seems like a happy kitten that wants to play a prank, and takes the book out of the bookshelf. However, Dokuro makes a special choice. The book name is A Dog…… [Actual text is “The book name is Nello and……”]
 
“Slave……” [actual text Dog Slave, put together makes Nello and his Dog Slave]
 
“What!?” 

”I shall begin reading!” 

”Wait, wait a minute!? What did you just say!?” 

”A long long time ago, in a certain place, there was a boy called Long Long and a dog called Patrasche.”
 
”Yes…… yes.” 

Dokuro places the opened book on her legs, and like a mother, puts her emotions into it and starts reading.
 
“Ah------♥  No! Patrasche……Patrasche!” 

“Wah! What are you reading?! Is that really a normal dog? Don’t play a fool, Dokuro-chan! I won’t be able to sleep like this!” 

“Woof------ Woof------ Master, I am a dog……” 

“Stop it Dokuro-chan! Please, just go and sleep……”

Inside the bathroom decorated with pink tiles and with a lot of steam------ 

Shizuki wipes her face with both her hands, and breathes out.
 
Then, once again placing her body into the bathtub up to her shoulders, she looks at the ceiling becoming clouded with steam, thinking back on all the things that had happened today. 

Once she closes her eyes, she gives off a long sigh. 

Shizuki takes in air again, and looks at her left hand, stretched from the bathtub and clenched into a fist. 
And, before her own eyes, she slowly straightens her fingers. 

In her palm, lies a little silver ring that is soaking wet.
 
When they were escaping from the cinema, a tiny box fell out from Sakura’s pocket.
 
She picked it up, and wanted to call out to Sakura, but her voice was stuck in her throat. 

Because the cover was open.
 
Inside the box, was a ring that she had always dreamt of having.
 
After inhaling in the steam, under the natural echoing effects of a bathroom, Shizuki said------ 

“Sakura-kun is one------big------idiot.”
