Suzuka 134 Rejection

凉风 #134 拒絶 きょぜつ

After track practice, Yamato looked at Suzuka. They have not been talking since the time he confessed. She walked towards Yamato and he tried to talk to her but she walked pass him. Yasonobu came and asked Yamato out. Yamato told Yasonobu that Saotome called Suzuka last night and he confessed to her. Yasonobu told him not to bother Suzuka anymore and Yamato was surprised. Yasonobu explained that they have broken up and she didnt want to be in awkward circumstance. She was trying hard to treat Yamato as normal friend. Yasonobu continued that Yamato confessed to him again and this have made her uneasy. Yamato then thought about Suzuka's attitude since she came back. He thought that he had no position in her heart anymore and she was trying hard to treat him as normal friend. He then realized why Suzuka would said "Why did you have to say that?" He had broken her effort and he only considered himself. Yamato then decided to leave.

That night Yamato approached Suzuka' room and rang her bell. Yamato greeted her with Suzuka being a bit awkward.Yamato then apologized to Suzuka. He said that she had been trying hard to treat as a normal friend but he only thought of his own feeling and confessed. He apologized again and said that she must be bothered with his confession. Yamato added that he wouldn't bother her again and therefore.. Suzuka interrupted and asked him to talk inside her room. She gave him a cup of coffee. Suzuka wondered if she had shown any effort. Yamato remarked that it was normal for broken up couple to talk to each other. Suzuka told Yamato not misundertood her. She told him that didnt hate him. If she had hate him, she wouldn't told him that she's going to the same university. She continued that she was really happy when Yamato said that he still like her yesterday. Suzuka added that being in the same university, same track team, they would have many happy memories. Yamato asked if she was telling the truth and she replied yes. Yamato was relieved and said that he thought he would be hated terribly. Suzuka put down her cup and said that she actually didnt want to hear that Yamato still like her. She said because they couldn't date each other.

Note:
This is the last phrase by Suzuka:
JP: 私大和くんとは つき合えないから
RO: (watashi yamato-kun to wa tsukiaenai kara)
EN" Because we (Yamata and I) cannot have a relationship.
Tsukiaeru means "to have a relationship with" or "date" in this context.

P/S: Speechless with what Suzuka said last. At least we know that she didnt hate Yamato, she was happy Yamato still like her. But she couldn't date Yamato. What I hope for chapter 135 to have the reason revealed. I dont want Kouji to waste a chapter showing Yamato shattered, consoled by friends, dragging Suzuka's reason to future chapters.
