No Thanks, Ordinary Person

**No Thanks, Ordinary Person** is the eight chapter in Okotowari Shimasu.

## Summary

As Kou thinks about the many friends he's gained since stranferring schools, he realizes this might be a bad thing and put them in danger. Therefore, he asks Katsuo to help him look more plain, in hopes this will divert danger away from him.

Keita and Akie soon join the effort, trying different things to no avail. Keita suggests changing Kou's appearance and personality, which Akie says would just erase his whole character.

Eventually they reach the conclusion that in order to make Kou appear more normal, everyone else just has to look stranger. They succeed in making Kou blend in more, but the price to pay is too great. Decided to help protect the school, Maiko also tries to help, but the result is too strange.

Finally, Erina says Kou looks kind of normal on his own, but it's the people he's always surrounded by that make him stand out. The three boys realize the error of their ways, when Kou says he doesn't mind after all, because his weridness is what helped him become friends with all of them in the first place. Keita, Akie and even Katsuo are moved by his words, as they all agree Kou is pure of heart.

В 3261 В. Э. часть армий Ар-Фаразона Золотого, шедшего войной на Мордор, отклонилась на восток с целью оккупации Харнедора. Лифа-Тун располагался к западу от Белькадара и был захвачен раньше него.

После Падения Нуменора Лифа-Тун перешёл в руки Харадрим и с тех пор бесменно принадлежал Харнедору.

Haruto is a tall, dark-skinned boy with an average build. He has short, dark green hair and yellow pupil-less eyes, similar to Akki and Kou. His eyebrows are noticeably shorter than other characters'.

When in the human world, Haruto's demon features disappear thank to Akki's spell, making him look like a normal human. However this spell changes nor only his demon appearance, but also his hairstyle, eye shape, and overall aura, making him look more attractive.

## Personality

Haruto is rather stoic, usually having a neutral expression on his face. He takes things seriously, such as his work at the student council or his secret identity as a demon.

He seems to have problems reading the atmosphere, as he sometimes comes off the wrong way or assumes something different, such as the time he mistakingly thought Maiko and Keita wanted to confess to him when they were accusing him of being a demon.

## Background

Not much is known about Haruto before the beginning of the story. He was born and raised in Hell, and at some point went to the human world and started studying at Nantoka High School, becoming part of the Student Council and befriending Mayu and Nene.

## Story

Haruto was first introduced in chapter 15, when Kou and his friends visit Hell for the summer. There, they have a few brief encouncters with Haruto, who is introduced as Kou's cousin.

Later on, it was revealed that Haruto is a student at Nantoka High School, and a member of the Student Council. This was discovered by Keita and Maiko, who confronted him about him showing up at school looking like a demon. Haruto explained that although he looked like a demon to the twins, he and all other demons use a spell that changes their appearances to look human. It was also revealed that the reason Keita and Maiko were able to see his real form was likely due to them slowly absorving Kou's powers.

Haruto appeared again when Mayu explained the Student Council, as he took interest in knowing where the school's funds came from. He appeared again briefly during the School Trip, and in the Beauty Contest omake it was revealed that although he participated in the contest, he was eliminated on the second round.

Hell

**Hell** (Also known as the Underworld or the Netherworld) is a location in Okotowari Shimasu.

## Profile

It is unclear what sort of location Hell is, as it can only be accessed by portals created by Akki. At first glance, it doesn't seem all that different from the human world, as it's noted by Akie that it's not what he expected. However, it can be a dangerous place for humans, as Haruto stated that humans that get lost in the forest may become haunted, or that Chikara was the first human to travel willingly to Hell.

The language of Hell conviently happens to be exactly the same as human Japanese, and even their money has the same value as Japanese yen.

## Summary

While they're still enjoying their summer trip in Hell, Keita decides to hold a courage test in a nearby forest. The group is divided into four teams, and they take on the test.

The first group is Maiko and Kou, who get through the test without much trouble due to Kou being familiar with the woods. Although Maiko wants to try making conversation with him, they end up making it to their goal before they can really talk about anything.

Next up is Keita and Katsuo, which makes Keita feel nervous due to what happened during the summer classes. When Katsuo notices him acting strange, he asks if anything is wrong. This moves Keita, who runs away abandoning the courage test.

Akie and Seraphina are the next group, and despite Seraphina being scared of the dark they manage to reach their destination when Akie's smile shines, making everything bright.

The last group to participate are Erina and Hotaru, who wonder what kind of things they may encounter in Hell. Erina comments on Hotaru's excitement over the supernatrual things, which she says finds kind of cute.

They all go back to Akki's house, where Akki notices Kou is hiding his eye again and makes him pull up his hair. She then tells everyone about Kou's half-demon nature.

**Лакин Паах** — неканоническая генструктура таурэтрим.

## Описание

В 831 году В. Э. нуменорцы высадились к югу от каменистых побережий и построили морскую крепость **Таурелондэ**. Таурэтримы их встретили с радостью, предложив начать торговлю. В кратчайшие сроки таурэтрим совершили большой скачок в развитии цивилизации. В джунглях прорубались просеки и строились дороги, которые соединяли с крупнейшими поселениями. Сами поселения расширяются, а вместо деревянных строений и защитных стен строятся огромные каменные пирамиды, башни и исполинские стены.

После исчезновения **императора Джи Индура** морвайт, спонсируемые султаном-кольценосцем **Сайтой**, собрали большие армии и перешли в наступление. К 1918 году были уничтожены **Оточ Каах**, **Йа’акс Каах**, **Лакин Паах** и **Туунич Каах**, а **Полок Каах** был и вовсе разграблен.

Таурэтримы бежали в **Таурелондэ** — оплот Нуменора, где получили приют и защиту. Нуменорская армия вышла из стен гавани и обратила в бегство морвайт. После падения Нуменора связь с Гондора Таурелондэ оборвалась, а торговля прекратилась. Нуменорцы помогли отстроить города бывшей Империи. Ко 2 году был отстроен **Оточ Каах**, а к 10 — **Полок Каах**, **Йа’акс Каах**, **Лакин Паах** и **Туунич Каах**.

Despite his dramatic entrance, neither Kou nor Akie recognize him. Katsuo tries telling them how he's in their same class, and Kou realizes he's mistaken him for an extra. This doesn't sit well with Katsuo, who asks Kou to fight him. He rejects him, saying how he's afraid he'll injure him and destroy the whole school if there were a fight.

Since Katsuo keeps insisting on fighting, Akie suggest they just become friends instead. Kou agrees with this idea, saying how Katsuo's plainless make him an unlikely target for strange phenomena, so he won't have to worry about him getting killed like Akie. This works, and the three of them become friends.

As they walk home, Akie expresses his relief everything worked out fine. Kou tells him that since they're friends, he wants Akie to start calling him by his name, and they start referring to each other on a first-name basis. Meanwhile, Erina watches this scene unfold without being noticed.

Kou explains it might've been because of a portal, which everyone decides is an unlikely reason. Erina decides they should stay put and wait until the teachers come find them, but back at the campsite no one has realized there's a group missing.

As it starts getting dark, the group starts preparing to spend the night in the woods. Katso and Erina try preparing the tents, but things go wrong and they only managed to make a mangled mess. Meanwhile, Hotaru and Kou worry about not being able to make dinner, to which Akie says they don't need to worry since he bought not only ingredients, but also camping gas and pans. Still, Kou tells Akie to not do anything so he won't be in danger, and Akie is simply tasked with peeling an onion while everyone else works.

The group enjoy their dinner, and with everyone's help they manage to salvage one of the tents to spend the night. Akie feels guilty about boys and girls sleeping together, which Erina dismisses as them having no other chance. Back in the campsite, Maiko realizes someone is breaking school rules and asks the teacher to look for the students. The group goes to sleep, and Katsuo realizes he's the odd one out, since everyone else seems to have a nice romantic atmosphere going for them.

Eventually, the boys and the girls get separated just as the fireworks display is about to start. Keita tells Akie to go ahead to the place he knows where they can watch the display alone, telling him it'll be a good way to spend time alone with Kou.

Meanwhile, Erina and Hotaru realize they've become separated from everyone else. Soon, Erina gets an idea about how to find everyone else. On their end, Keita and Katsuo are being swayed away by the crowd, and Keita proposes using Katsuo's antenna to look for the girls, but the idea is shut down.

Kou and Akie arrive at the place Keita mentioned, where Kou talks about how this is the first time he's been to a festival. He expresses happiness over being there with his friends, since he'd never been able to become close to anyone before. Akie promises they'll come back again next year.

Keita and Erina manage to find each other by sitting on their partner's shoulders, with Maiko and Seraphina following soon after. They hesitate to join Akie and Kou due to the good mood between them, but Katsuo is unable to read it. The fireworks display begins, with Maiko and Seraphina finally realizing they're the only ones not in a romantic mood.

Kou thanks all of his friends for being with him, which makes everyone feel awkward, but they're all happy to be friends with him too. And thus, the summer break of their second year of high school comes to an end.

## Summary

After the Beauty Contest, Katsuo asks Keita to go out with him, much to the later's surprise. Katsuo explains that Amu Kiyuu, a first year student, asked him out, and despite him rejecting her, she was so insisted he was forced to lie and say he was dating someone. Keita agreed to pretend to be Katsuo's boyfriend, since there's no one else he could really ask.

That day during lunch break, Amu goes to Class 2-2, and Keita tries convincing her. However, she manages to see through his act right away and challenges Keita to a competition to win over Katsuo's love. Amu ends up, losing, much to her dismay, and wants to force Katsuo and Keita to kiss to prove they are really going out. She cuts them off before they can actually do it, and says she's willing to give up on Katsuo. When Keita tries confronting her, she shrugs it off and says she wants to fall in love with someone again, leaving the pair to their own devices and apologizing for causing trouble.

Once alone, Katsuo asks Keita to go out with him again. Keita is surprised, but Katsuo assures him he means it for real this time. He explains he was taken aback by Keita's confession in Kyoto and didn't know how to respond, but now that he's thought about it he does like Keita and wants to go out with him. Keita accepts, but the couple decide not to share this information with their friends, since they fear things may become awkward between them for now.

**Крепь** — хоббичья каноническая структура.

## Описание

Бакленд был расположен к востоку от реки Брэндивайн. Хоббиты, живущие в Бакленде, вырастили живую изгородь, чтобы защитить себя от любого зла, которое могло пробраться через Вековечный лес, который граничил с Баклендом на востоке. Эту «стену» назвали **Высоким Сеном**.

На севере есть единственный проход в этой стене, именуемый Сенные Врата, расположенный неподалёку от моста через Брэндивайн.

**Заплотов Конец** же был деревней, расположенной на крайнем юге Бакленда. Он также был назван в честь высокого сена, на котором он был расположен в самом конце его южной оконечности

## По книге

**Эрех** (англ. Erech) — высокий холм, расположенный в провинции Ламедон, на юге королевства Гондор.

Во Вторую эпоху Исильдур привез с собой из разрушенного Нуменора трехметровый круглый камень. Он установил его на холме Эрех, как символ Гондора. Король горного народа дал клятву верности Исильдуру на камне, но когда пришло время, горный народ нарушил ее и не явился, чтобы противостоять Саурону. Тогда Исильдур проклял их, чтобы они не могли найти покоя, пока не исполнят клятву.

Холмы Ламедона были безлюдны в Третью эпоху, из-за страха людей к духам горного народа. Во время Войны кольца сюда прибыл Арагорн, он вызвал армию горного народа, чтобы те исполнили клятву. На этот раз они согласились и помогли Арагорну отбить атаку умбарских пиратов напавших на Пеларгир. После этого Арагорн освободил их от клятвы.

**Кадар Зимратон** — арнорская неканоническая генструктура.

## Описание

**Кадар Зимратон** — город в Эриадоре, на западе Средиземья. Располагался в южной оконечности полуострова Эрин Ворн, на расстоянии нескольких нуменорских миль от Лонд Даэра.

Вероятно, был основан во времена правления в Нуменоре короля Ар-Зимратона. Имя Зимратон означает **«собиратель драгоценностей»** (от адун. **zimra** — *«драгоценный камень»)*. Приставка Ar- означает «король».

Сейчас на месте одного из древнейших и крупнейших городов Эриадора остались лишь руины. Во времена Нуменора во всём Западе периодически велись массовые вырубки лесов, которые затем свозили в Кадар Зимратон. Ходят легенды, что перед смертью Ар-Зимратон, известный своим богатством, приказал спрятать в городе половину сокровищ Нуменора. Однако никто до сих пор не осмелился заходить так далеко в пустынные земли.

## Интересные факты

**Камет Брин** — арнорская неканоническая генструктура.

## Описание

**Рудаур** (англ. *Rhudaur*) — одно из трёх северных королевств Средиземья, образовавшихся после распада Арнора.

К 1272 −1349 Т. Э. в Рудауре оставалось мало дунэдайн и власть захватили горцы, тайно заключившие союз с Ангмаром. По приказу **Короля-Чародея** в 1350 году ТЭ строится столица Рудаура — **Камет Брин**.

В эти годы король Артэдайна, Малвегиль, решил вновь собрать Арнор по своей властью, так как в других королевствах род Исильдура пресёкся. Кардолан признал власть Артэдайна, но Рудаур её отверг. В 1356 Т. Э. армии Рудаура и Ангмара атаковали Артэдайн, в результате чего погиб король Аргелеб I; хоббиты-хваты же, жившие на юге Рудаура и опасавшиеся Ангмара, бежали на юг, в Дунланд, либо на восток, через горы, в долину Андуина. В 1409 Т. Э. люди из Ангмара заняли Рудаур, а последние из его дунэдайн были либо убиты, либо бежали в Артэдайн.

Великая Чума в 1636 Т. Э. опустошила Эриадор, и Рудаур также не избежали мора. В 1975 Т. Э. Артэдайн пал под ударом совместных сил Рудаура и Ангмара. Однако войска Короля-чародея были уничтожены в Битве при Форносте, и Рудаур был очищен от врагов дунэдайн. Горцев осталось совсем мало, и столица пришла в упадок.

Дальнейшая судьба Камет Брина неизвестна.

Tsukasa Akina

**Tsukasa Akina** is a character in Okotowari Shimasu.

## Appearance

Tsukasa is a man in his late twenties. He has short and messy green hair, purple eyes, and prominent bags under his eyes. He is tall and skinny and is often seen wearing a lab coat as part of his job as a doctor. He doesn't wear a tie to work and usually has his shirt's collar open. Just like his sister, he wears glasses.

When seen as a student in a flashback, it's shown that he wore the Nantoka High School uniform normally, but he used to keep his hair tidier than he does as an adult.

## Personality

Tsukasa has a bitter and sarcastic outlook in life, as the thing he likes the most about his job is that everyone seems to be as stressed and sleep-deprived as him. He hates energetic people and stands in stark contrast to Yousuke Shirogami's happy-go-lucky personality.

## Background

Tsukasa was a top student at Nantoka High School, which is why he decided to study medicine and become a doctor.

He is 11 years older than Hotaru Akina, his little sister.

## Story

Tsukasa and Yousuke were introduced in chapter 31. When Kou and company bought Kinjirou to the hospital after their fight during the school festival, Tsukasa examined Akie to make sure nothing was wrong with him (at Kou's insistence). Tsukasa soon learned that Akie was Yousuke's little brother, and when he said he's been considering becoming a doctor too one day, Tsukasa promptly shut the idea down.

## Relationships

### Yousuke Shirogami

Tsukasa was Yousuke's trainer during his internship at the clinic where they both work now. Thanks to his good mentorship, Yousuke was able to learn plenty from his internship, and thus he respects Tsukasa a lot. Meanwhile, Tsukasa sees Yousuke as an annoyance due to his bright personality and attitude. When he discovered Yousuke hates when people smoke around him, Tsukasa started liking him a little bit more, since he now knows what to do when he gets annoying.

### Hotaru Akina

Hotaru is Tsukasa's younger sister. Not much is known about their relationship, although due to his job, Tsukasa is never able to go to Hotaru's school events.
Яфуруши

* Постер
* Карта

**Яфуруши** — копазульская неканоническая генструктура.

## Описание

В 1694 году **Саурон** предложил султану Харада **Хоммурату II** кольцо власти и союз для совместной борьбы с Нуменором. Хоммурат с радостью принял предложение, и Саурон подарил ему **кольцо власти**.

В первый же год обладания кольцом **Хоммурат** штурмом взял Гат-Азразайн — задача, которую не могла осуществить ни одна армия тогдашнего мира. **Хоммурат** начал разрушительные войны с Нуменором, отвоевав практически всё побережье, кроме города-порта **Умбар**.

На протяжении 1694—1733 годов харадримы предприняли много рейдов в юго-восточном направлении, чтобы исследовать Великую Пустыню. За ней они обнаружили обособленную область Харадвайта — **Копазул.** В 1735 году область мирно вошла в состав его страны, и Хоммурат провозгласил себя **Великим Султаном**.

В 1736 году Копазул был объявлен автономной территорией. Туда был отправлен сатрап Зигуркиль, который руководил строительством городов Яфуруши, Копакадара, Бакризада, Эфалона и Арминазула. Вероятнее всего, какие-то небольшие поселения там уже были, но сейчас там были построены современные города, подобные харадским.

В 3018 году начался сбор армий Харада для участия в Войне Кольца. **Флот Копазула** (10 тысяч моряков) был собран в Арминазуле и отправился на Север. Однако возле Таурелондэ армию копазула настиг торнадо, и флот затонул вместе с сатрапом Копазула.

Гвиност

**Гвиност** — неканоническая генструктура в Дорвинионе.

## Описание

**Гвиност** (англ. Gwynost) — город-крепость у Золотого ручья, единственный путь из Дорвиниона в Рудэль. Точная дата основания неизвестна, однако на момент падения Эребора (2770 Т. Э.) в Дорвинионе правил король **Бладортин**. Дорвинион славился своими обширными виноградными садами. Из Дорвиниона вино доставлялось через Золотой мост в Рудэль, и впоследствии на торговом пути возник пограничный город. Он богател день ото дня как за счёт пошлин, так и от торговли вином, которое славилось на всё Средиземье. Вино было достаточно крепкое, чтобы усыпить эльфов, что позволило отряду гномов Торина Дубощита сбежать из темниц королевского дворца.

В Войне Кольца Дорвинион проводил политику нейтралитета, ведя торговлю как с Рудэлем и Мордором, так и с Дейлом и с Гондором. Поэтому города война не коснулась.

В Четвёртую Эпоху эльфы покинули город, и там остались только люди Дорвинрим.
