Kotoba ni natta hashi kara, kokoro ga karuku natte iku ki ga suru.
As he put it into words, he got the feeling his heart was growing lighter.

Sou omottara tomaranaku natta.
Once he thought that, he couldn't stop.

"Demo, o-tousan'tte mo, honto no o-tousan ja nakatta n'dakedo ne.
"Though I called him my father, he wasn't my real father.

Kantan ni yuu to, ore wa, o-kaasan ga kekkon-mae ni tsukiatteta otoko no kodomo de saa.
You see, to put it simply, I'm the child of the guy my mother was seeing before she got married.

O-tousan, sore o shitte kirechatta n'da nee.
When my father found out, he totally lost it.

  1. kirechatta = kirete shimatta = "to explode" or "to lose one's temper"
Soryaa, konyakusha ni futamata kakerareteryaa dare datte okoru wa na."
Well, anyone would get angry if his fiancee cheated on him."

  1. futamata kakerareteryaa = futamata kakerarete ireba
    futamata = "two-timing"; kakerareru = "to have ~ done to one"
Hisan na kako? Demo, mou kako da.
A tragic history? But it's all in the past.

"Demo sa, mutsutsu no toki, hontou no chichioya ni hikitorareta kara, ima wa kekkou shiawase mon sa.
"But you know, when I was six, I was taken in by my real father, so I'm pretty happy now.

Shoushou torauma nokotte'kkedo, konna kawaii ore ni sore-kurai no ketten nakerya, seken no busaiku-domo ga amari ni kawaisou'tte nee."
I still have a little trauma left, but if someone as cute as me didn't have that much of a handicap, it wouldn't be fair to those less fortunate."

"Jaa..., guai ga waruku natta no wa, ore ni nagurareru to de mo omotta kara ka?"
"So...the reason you felt poorly was because you thought I would hit you or something?"

"Korosu nante odosu n'da mon.
"You threatened to kill me.

Sore ni kowakatta you, kao.
On top of that, your face was frightening.

Me ga sa, chou-maji de."
Your eyes, they're totally serious."

"Warukatta na. Umaretsuki da."
"Sorry about that. I was born with them."

Fui'tto shisen o sorashita no wa, terete iru kara ka.
Did he avert his gaze because he was embarrassed?

Kirenaga no sampakugan wa metcha kowai kedo, okotteru n'ja nakute komatteru n'da'tte, nantonaku wakaru.
His intense eyes were really scary, but Kouhei could somehow tell he wasn't mad, he was troubled.

"Demo, ima wa mou sonna ni kowakunai.
"But I'm not that scared anymore.

Mizu, arigato. Koppu butsukete gomen."
Thanks for the water. I'm sorry I threw the cup at you."

"Yoketa kara ii sa. Sore ni, ayamaru no wa ore no hou da."
"I dodged, so that's all right. And I'm the one who should apologize."
