Koucha Ouji no Himegoto part 2

Hahaha, I'm back again, finally getting settled back in my hometown, finally getting internet with enough speed. Anyway, this is the second chapter of Koucha Ouji no Himegoto.
I didn't include picture because one of my external harddrive with the raws was damaged in the middle of my moving mess. I was in such a hurry, that I was just put all the things together in boxes and forcing them to close.

Anyway, about Kaze Hikaru, since there's already another scanlation group that's working on it, and they do a far better job that I by my self could ever do, so maybe I'm planning to just give a light summary, cause my already finished chapter 113 was also get lost with my damaged external harddrive TT_TT.

Anyway here is it......


 "Moody and grumpy."

"Not easy to appease when crying."

"The 5 years old me is a very difficult child."

"My dad said, it's because my small head was filled with a large amount of memories."

"The current me,"

"Don't remember about it anymore..."

Assam just arrived home from the meeting between shop owners, drunk. Ignoring Taeko's complain (noted that here, Taeko called him, Assha) to him, he headed straight to Anri. Annoyed with her drunk father, Anri hit him. Taeko tried to tell Anri that it's bad to hit another person thoughtlessly, and even though Taeko seemed to hit Assam often, she was not serious about it, and they're only kidding with each other. That's why it doesn't make Assam angry.

Anri angrily said that Taeko didn't understand a bit about Assam and proceed to run, saying that she would go to bed.

Assam tried to cheer Taeko up. She told him that lately Anri had been very moody, she got into a fight in her school that Taeko must apologise to the other parents. Assam asked if she was alright, and by she, he meant Taeko. He grouped Taeko's breast and told her that she's surely gotten thinner. Taeko got mad and told him to take bath right away and go to sleep.

But before doing what he was told, Assam went to Anri's room and kiss her goodnight, but Anri in her sleeping state, pushed Assam away and wiped down the kiss. Assam got a bit disappointed and thought perhaps it's because he hadn't taken bath.

While Anri still in her sleep, think that, at night, whenever her parents fight, her grandma always appear and told her that she is a good child, that she is hurting because she know everything.

The day after, after school, Anri was very happy seeing that her father picked her up. Her teacher told him, that today, Anri behaved good. Assam praised Anri. While being carried by Assam, Anri happily told him that everytime her grandma visited her the night before, she always have a good day the day after.
Assam wondered if she was dreaming. Anri proceed telling him that she likes her grandma's eyes, purple, like her mother's ring. While hers is brown, like Assam's. Assam asked her, whether he has told her about his mother. Anri answered, nope. And then right after they arrived in the cafe.

There, Taeko was panicking, Rufna and Eri was there. Assam asked, and Eri told him that Taeko's ring got stuck in the water pipe down the sink and Rufna is in the middle of helping her.

Rufna found it, the ring was heavy so fortunately it didn't get washed away with water. Taeko was thanking him, when Anri threw her bag at her. Anri angrily told her that the ring is very precious, it was entrusted by her father, and that she hates her mother. Then Anri run of to the first floor (ground floor is the cafe, while the second floor is used as living residence.)

Assam comforted his wife, Taeko told him that Anri misunderstood. Assam confirmed his suspicions before, about Taeko getting thinner that her finger size became smaller.
Taeko told him, crying, that she was planning to take down the ring before washing, but she forgot. Assam hugged her.
Eri, watching, not being nervous around them anymore, thinking, how nice....Then looked around, but didn't find Rufna.

Rufna went after Anri to her room. Rufna told her that she doesn't actually hate her mother, right?

Anri told him, it was very precious thing, maybe her mother forgot, but it was very precious.
Rufna, "But she always wear it, right? That means that she always keep it carefully." Then proceed to tell her that he'd already found it, so there is no need for prolonging the problem.

Anri told him that it's not the problem, She then hug him and told him that she likes both him and Eri, because they always called her father with his real name.

Then the next morning, Taeko woke Anri up. Anri was a bit down because at night, her grandma didn't visited her like always, and wondered perhaps it's because she had been naughty. Then, she looked at the sink and saw Taeko's ring beside it. (This time, Taeko put it down before washing, and probably forgot to wear it after)

At her school, she was playing sand with her friends. She was building sort of an indian castle and telling her friend that it was the royal palace where her father used to live, it has round roof and long corridor, there are many pretty women inside and her father lived there with her grandma. Her friend in awe, asked Anri then, that her father really is a king. Anri told her that her father is a prince. Then some brats taunted Anri, telling that she must just imagining things, that she lied, because prince has blond hair and her father's black.
Anri retaliated by saying that her father have friends, another princes, one has blond hair, and one also black hair from China, and also there is a long hair and beautiful princess and her grandpa is the greatest king among all. The brat then kicked their ball to Anri's sand castle, ruining it. Anri got angry and then got into fight with them.

Meanwhile, in the cafe, Taeko was looking for her ring everywhere, panicking. Assam told her to keep looking, because Anri likes it very much and would be furious of she know that the ring got missing again, then offered to pick Anri up from school. Taeko thanks him, (noted she called him, Assha again)

At school, Assam found out that Anri went missing. The teachers were panicking, while one of the brats' mother apologising to Assam because her son ruining Anri's sand castle that Anri got upset and missing. The brat then said that it's because Anri lied about her father being a prince. His mother, apologising, said that for every little girl, their father is a prince.
Assam, patting down the brat's head, said that he will be looking for her around and then told him not to disturb girl's feeling and to become a guy that make women thinks he is a prince.

The teachers and the mother are in awe for a while, then deciding that the one who are not busy will help looking for Anri.

Assam called Taeko and told her about Anri, not to worry and stayed in the cafe, he will go home for a while to take his motorcycle. Taeko insisting on coming along to search for Anri, because she knows better about the place that Anri likes to visit, then cut off the phone.
Assam a bit sad, because he didn't know any.

Anri, somewhere in playground, sulking, playing with the ring, when it dropped. Then some hooded guy, picked it up and asked whether she was alone.

Taeko and Assam were still looking for Anri, Taeko got a bit agitated, while Assam patiently comforting her.
Suddenly, Assam heard someone calling him, then he looked in front of him, it was his mother, telling him that Anri is in her favourite playground.

Then they saw her sitting in the bottom of slide with some hooded guy. Taeko was preparing to hit him with helm when she realised that he's Rufna. They apologised to him for nearly hitting him.

Rufna then explain that Anri told her, that she was like him.

Anri told Assam, that the long beard grandpa had said that the person who is already dead won't forget, but it also apply to the person who is not yet born. Anri remembered all about what happened between her parents, she know everything, but her grandma told her that as she grew older, she would forget about it all, and so before Anri forget, she want to tell her mother. But it was difficult for her, so she was asking for her grandma's help by borrowing the ring. Crying, she apologised and said that she didn't mean to steal it, she just wanted to borrow it, but Rufna explained it to her, that borrowing without asking permission is stealing.

Taeko told her, while she doesn't know what Anri was talking about, she thank her for returning the ring.
Anri told her that she shouldn't said that she don't know.

Then Anri heard voices, telling her not to cry and that even with lack of words, her grandmother's ring will help her. Anri put the ring in Taeko's finger, and Taeko's expression changed, as she just realized something.

Assam was calling the school, informing them that he had found Anri. Taeko called him (noted that she called him Assam, this time), then told him that he has not granted Haruka's third wish.
Assam looked surprised and told her that he forgot about it. Taeko scolded him that he is not a very good for a former koucha ouji. Assam apologising, told her that Haruka himself didn't remember about it.
While crying together, Taeko told him that it was like just waking up from a long sleep for 10 years, then they proceeded to kiss. Rufna covered Anri's eyes, while afar, Eri watching this from behind tree.

After that, Anri stated that her grandmother never visited her again since. Bit by bit, she is growing up and forgot about her parents' "past".

And now, Anri had become a highschooler, she told her friend about how she remembered what has happened before she was born, up to she was 5 years old. Her friend commented that she remembered hearing about babies that could remember, while inside mother's womb, and that she thought it was very romantic.
Anri, agreeing with her friend, that it was indeed a romantic story between her parents (noted, here she was wearing a necklace with her grandmother's / mother's ring) and that someday there will be one for her.

-fin-

There's still 2 stories left in this book, one about another unrelated princess of tea, and one not related at all. I'm not interested in either of them, so I won't be summarising them.
