Thanks to cutesherry for the scans.

!!! page 01
Ginsei: Angels can't ingest anything from the human world, right?

Kohaku: Yes, that's right.

Unfortunately, I cannot eat anything.

But I thought I'd have Shuuichirou-san eat some.

Ginsei: Who is this Shuuichirou?

Kohaku: Shuuichirou-san is Shuuichirou-san.

Ginsei: I got the name.

FX: Turning away

FX: Oh...

Kohaku: His surname is Kudou-san.

FX: Clap

Ginsei: Somehow...

FX: Grimace

Ginsei: Not his surname.
-----------------
!!! page 02
Kohaku: His occupation is a doctor.

Genko: Ah....

Kohaku: His job is in the traumatic surgery department or something.

Genko: Again...

FX: Grimace

Kohaku: The people at the hospital rely on him a lot,
And he's cheerful with the children,
And he's always so busy that I worry he'll collapse.

FX: Fuming

Kohaku: But there's almost nothing that I can do to help him.
-----------------
!!! page 03
Kohaku: Last week when I brought the baumkuchen from here to Shuuichirou-san, he said it was delicious.

FX: Turning

Kohaku: So I'm bothering you again today.

FX: Sick with anger

Kohaku: One each of the plain
And the seasonal baumkuchen, please!

Ginsei: But who the hell is Shuuichirou?!
-----------------
!!! page 04
Genko: A human.

FX: Bonk

Genko: I've just baked some.
The seasonal flavor is strawberry.

Kohaku: Shuuichirou-san loves strawberry.

Genko: With that appearance, that he likes sweet things or strawberry
Is an unexpected knot.

Kohaku: Huh?
I think strawberry fits Shuuichirou-san perfectly.

Genko: Um---

Kohaku: ?
?
-----------------
!!! page 05
Genko: Wrap this.

FX: Smooth

Ginsei: Why do I have to--

Genko: Oh,
So you can't, huh?

FX: Ears standing up

Genko: You're seriously inept, huh.

FX: Hee hee

Genko: I taught Ioryogi properly too,
But he couldn't do it either.

FX: Grimace
-----------------
!!! page 06
Ginsei: I can!

FX: Snatch

FX: Working like a bee

Genko: Simple.

When I brought out the comparison to Ioryogi, it was a home run.

FX: Grin

Kohaku: The two of you are very good friends, huh.

Ginsei: NO!

FX: Wallop

Genko: Don't yell at the customer!
-----------------
!!! page 07
Ginsei: Is it all right for an angel to enter the shop of beings from the otherworld?

Kohaku: Yes.

Since I already can't go home to heaven.

Genko: ....

Ginsei: A punishment from God, or something?

Kohaku: Yes...that's right.
-----------------
!!! page 08
Kohaku: But the punishment was over a long time ago.

Ginsei: If it's over, why are you still in the human world?

Kohaku: Because I want to be at Shuuichirou-san's side.
-----------------
!!! page 09
Ginsei: This Shuuichirou is a human, huh.

But the length of his life is so different from that of the beings of heaven, or hell, or the otherworld.
Even if he lives to the utmost, at the most, it's one hundred years.

Kohaku: Yes.
Up until now, I've parted from Shuuichirou-san five times.
-----------------
!!! page 10
Ginsei: ...When he's reborn, he himself is different, right?

Kohaku: Yes, he's different.

That's why I'm nervous every time I meet Shuuichirou-san.
It's our first meeting.

Ginsei: ....
-----------------
!!! page 11
Kohaku: It's not because he's the reincarnation of Shuuichirou-san that I want to be by his side.

Genko: ....

Kohaku: Since he bears the heart of my beloved Shuuichirou-san,
I'm sure that he'll become a special person again.
-----------------
!!! page 12
Ginsei: ....

I don't get it.

Kohaku: Can I ask your name?

FX: Crouch

Ginsei: Ginsei.

Kohaku: That's a pretty name.

Ginsei: I don't get that either.
-----------------
!!! page 13
Kohaku: Nice to meet you, Ginsei-san.

Ginsei: I'm not one of this shop's em--

FX: Out of the blue

FX: Wham

Genko: You don't have a part-time job, do you?

Ginsei: A part-time j...

Genko: Sheesh.

You can't wrap it satisfyingly either, can you?
I knew Ioryogi would--

Ginsei: I can do it!

Genko: Here's
Your plain baumkuchen.

Kohaku: Thank you very much.

FX: Working furiously
-----------------
!!! page 14
FX: Ta-da

Genko: ....

FX: Crunch

FX: Hmph

Genko: You really are inept.

FX: Hee hee

Ginsei: NO!

Kohaku: Wow, what a cute package. It suits Shuuichirou-san perfectly!

Genko: Um---

Ginsei: I'm not inept!

FX: Grimace

Ioryogi: ....

Kobato: Emotions change.

Love into hatred.

So can hatred change into love?
-----------------
!!! page 16
Kobato: ...Into love.

Yeah, definitely.

I also noted the return of the "You two are such good friends!" "No we hate each other!" Clamp trope with amusement.

[chibiyuuto.livejournal.com]

I noticed it too. And particularly, I don't like that xD I almost tweeted about it xD

Somewhere on the internet there is now Genko/Ginsei slash. Hell, maybe even a Genko/Ginsei/Ioryogi OT3.

CLAMP do like the emotionally clueless characters, don't they?
