NG Life Chapter 14 Summary

Note: I will start NG Life summary from where the latest scanlation on MangaFox was. The order of Chapter 13 there was mixed so I’m thinking on wheteher I should do Chapter 13 summary too. Convince me 😀

The chapter is opened with Keidai’s curiosity regarding Reina. It seems that Reina’s similarity with Selena really bothers him, especially after Reina call him Syracuse in the previous chapter – N: I’ll go along with the name from Ochibichan instead of TokyoPop’s. Yuuma was there in Keidai’s house playing video games. He seems to mind on Keidai’s curiosity and he ask Keidai whether he likes Reina. Yuuma then accuse Keidai on cheating Selena because he’s thinking about other woman beside Selena, which makes Keidai think of Reina’s similarity again and then to Yuuma’s. Keidai thinks that Yuuma only look similar to Selena because their attitude is very different. Yuuma hit the bull’s eye when he mention,”How about Serizawa?”. Keidai got nervous and try to change the topic when his cellphone rings. It is from Serizawa who’s asking for help. At first he thought that the call really save him from Yuuma’s question but then another problem comes up. Serizawa only mention “Help!” and the call got cut, leaving both Yuuma and Keidai dumbfounded.

Keidai and Yuuma then immediately go to Serizawa’s house only to find Serizawa’s father laying in front of the door. Then a woman holding a gun on her hand shows up, making Keidai misunderstood that the woman is a robber and that Serizawa might not be safe. Just then, Serizawa come out of a room and greet them casually. Again, Keidai and Yuuma is left dumbfounded. Apparently, her cellphone runs out of battery when she was making a call to Keidai. Serizawa then introduce Yuuma and Keidai to her mother while her weird father is shown to just wake up on the background. Both Yuuma and Keidai are then asked to become Kiwame-sensei’s(Serizawa’s father) assistants and help him finishing his comic. Serizawa explains that both her parents are mangaka and they both are very busy just before the dateline. Kiwame-sensei passed out before the front door because he hasn’t slept for several days to finish his comic without the help of any assistant. Keidai mention that so her mother carry a gun because she’s stressed and got shot by Serizawa’s mother. She told Keidai to call her Marine-sensei and says that the gun is only a model gun she use to draw her comic. Serizawa’s parents then got into an argument because of assistants. Kiwame-sensei seems to drive his assistants out because he thought that they might be after Serizawa – the doting father arch. Serizawa complaints about how hard it is to have both parents working as comic artists. Yuuma got confused while Keidai sympathize her. Serizawa answers it’s alright because her parents are funny like Keidai to which Keidai got slightly insulted. At this moment, Keidai thinks that Serizawa and Loreius are really alike. Both Keidai and Yuuma agree to become Kiwame-sensei’s assistants but Kiwame-sensei refuse to have Keidai as his assistant. Serizawa tries to convince her father by showing that even though Keidai is a beginner but he can draw very well. Marine-sensei says that if Kiwame doesn’t want Keidai, she’ll take him as her assistant. Kiwame-sensei then quickly drag Keidai to his work station and make Keidai works.

Keidai doesn’t know what comic is Kiwame-sensei working on. Yuuma explains it to him. Keidai then ask Kiwame how is the progress to which the reply is only he’s not even finished with half of the comic when tomorrow is already the deadline. Keidai says he’ll do his best to help and Kiwame warns him not to lay a finger on Serizawa. Keidai then think that everyone is always pairing him with Serizawa when they’re only best friend and their relationship is far from lovers. Keidai then get into an argument with Kiwame because the kind of comic that Kiwame draws is a bit perverted. Keidai feels embarassed when he see it and try to change the drawing, making Kiwame to get angry at him because Keidai change his drawings. Keidai accidently give a better idea to Kiwame during the argument, leaving Kiwame speechless and down-spirited because he is helped by Keidai who is only a beginner. Kiwame then get his spirit back when Yuuma says that he loves Kiwame’s comic.

Keidai and Yuuma are then bringing some tea to Marine’s work station. The assistants all went gaga upon seeing them and Marine strictly tell them to go back to work. She then ask Keidai and Yuuma to model as lovers for her. Keidai feels awkward during the modeling, only to get Marine make them to move closer to each other. Marine then explain about her comic and how romance is an important part of it. Yuuma says he can’t do it because he’s also a boy. The assistants got surprised and keep on saying about how Yuuma is similar to a girl. Serizawa teases Keidai on how Keidai loving the moment to model as lovers with Yuuma. Marine give the idea for Keidai and Serizawa to model then. Serizawa try to refuse and Keidai got a little bit mad on how Serizawa refuse it so he agree to model as lovers with Serizawa. But then he got caught by Kiwame and Kiwame says that he’s also a Serizawa so he’ll model with Keidai. Marine then send Kiwame back to his work station.

In the evening, Kiwame’s work station is dark and everyone fell asleep. Serizawa covers Keidai with blanket and Keidai grabs her hand while calling her Selena. Serizawa then says unfortunately she is not Selena. Keidai and Serizawa then have a little chit chat about Keidai and his dreams about Selena. Keidai gloomily says that he can only meet Selena in his dreams. Serizawa ask him then why he refuse to model with Selena(Yuuma) when he loves her that much. Keidai says it’s because he’s panicking and it’s too sudden. Serizawa says that during the play he can speak smoothly to his partner without hesitation so is he serious saying that? Keidai give the excuse of Italian is better on expressing theirselves than Japanese and he is only expressing his feeling at that moment. Serizawa only laugh and says that Keidai is lying. Here comes the best part of it, Keidai x Serizawa fans. With a serious face Keidai says to Serizawa, “Do you want to try it then?”.  He says even though it’s not for modelling for Marine, how about they continue the lovers play. Keidai as Syracuse and Serizawa as Selena. This made Serizawa blush and nervously avoiding his stare. Keidai even insist on Serizawa to call him Syracuse. He says he is mad because Serizawa always toy with him so he’ll show her. With a blushing face and trying to not looking at Keidai, Serizawa says,”Syracuse, how can Selena help you?”. Keidai’s heartbeat got faster and then he think, “Isn’t Serizawa unwilling to play lovers with me? So what should I do now? Acting all lovey dovey and think of Serizawa as Selena just like the play before? I can do it before so I can now. But why does it feels different from before? I said it a few hours ago that it is alright since we don’t have feeling for each other. Serizawa has Loreius’ soul so even if she has the face of Selena, she is not Selena. It should be alright and I can act as if I like and love Serizawa.” Unfortunately, they got disturbed by Kiwame and it ends with Keidai got beaten by Kiwame while Marine says to not disturb her working. Apparently, Yuuma is not asleep too. He is only pretending to sleep so he heard it all along.
