[Translation] Hagiya Keigo - J-Novel Duet 2016.09
Since I used to write fanfics about Keigo, I just had to translate this into English... It is so adorable and cheesy!!! Just like a real fanfic XD So if any of you out there have ever fantasized about a confession from Keigo, this is a serious must read ♥
*Disclaimer*
Since this is supposed to be more of a poetic story than informational, I took some creative liberty and kept the spirit of the story instead of being super literal with every line. It's meant to sound natural to an English speaker!
2016.09 Duet
J-Novel - 2nd season “~Next to you…~”
In this world of possibilities, what if the high schooler next to you was an idol!?
Our popular section will have Hagiya Keigo appear this month.
Feel your heart beat from his lovely side profile and this summer tale!
One Picture of Summer Break
About to go home from supplementary lessons,
at the entrance way you hear a click.
When you turn, Keigo is standing there
holding a digital camera.
“Perfect!” he laughs.
“Why did you take it without asking?”
You pout jokingly.
“Now I’m self-conscious~!”
“What, do you want to take my picture too? Go ahead.”
I pull out my smart phone.
This kind of chance is rare!
When I point my phone at Keigo,
He also turns to take pictures of me.
“Let me get a picture~”
While laughing, we push the shutter buttons
and take countless pictures.
Outside the entrance way,
Keigo checks his digital camera.
“Yes! I was able to take a lot.”
“What are you going to do with all those?”
“I’ll treasure them.”
It becomes a bit quiet…
What? What did that mean?
My head freezes suddenly.
In front of me, Keigo’s face becomes bright red.
“Just kidding. Crap. Just kidding, I was just kidding!”
Excuse me!?
“I thought you were being serious for a second there!”
I try to joke as best I can, but Keigo responds, mumbling.
“I mean, because, you know, it’s super embarrassing…”
When I see him cover his face
with the hand that’s holding his camera,
I end up getting shy.
“Gosh, wait. I’ll start over.”
After he’s flustered for a bit,
Keigo takes a deep breath.
“I’ll treasure the real person, not the pictures. That’s why…”
