Chapter 120: We're Intoxicated

**We're Intoxicated** is the one-hundred-and-twentieth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

Kana makes a toast to The Cold Blue Men's live show, while Kyoutaoru wonders if he messed up, staring at his Oolong Tea. He apologizes to Yamada, not realizing that their outing would be to a drinking party, but she clinks their glasses together, and says that as long as they're together, she'll have fun regardless of where they are. Kana hands her the ordering tablet, and says that she can order whatever she wants, saying it will be their treat, though Kana's friend seems apprehensive. She looks over the menu, adding fried rice, as well as grilled onigiri, with her friend asking if rice two ways is fine, though Kana insists it is fine. Kyoutarou asks for fries and karaage, and once their orders get there, she begins chowing down, with the friend insisting that these are for sharing, and Kana again insisting it's fine. Kyoutarou considers how he needs to tell Kana about him and Yamada, but the friend interrupts his attempt at discussion, announcing that Tacchan (the long-haired rocker) finally got his divorce finalized. Kana offers a congratulations, and another, balding rocker says that getting divorced is like a coming-of-age ceremony.

Kana turns back to him, but he has lost his nerve, and the friend asks if he's drinking, to which Kana angrily calls out her name, Momo. She says that she is her band's drummer, which excites Yamada, and she invites her to their live show next month, which she graciously accepts. Kana smugly declares that she wrote the words, saying she got inspiration from Kyoutarou's lyrics. He recalls the confession paper and chokes on his drink in protest, while Yamada reacts with amazement at the sibling collaboration. He says that they've had enough of live shows because of too many people, as a desperate excuse to not have her hear. The two girls sadly declare that there won't be many people at their show, though, to which he says that won't be true, trying to lighten the mood. Momo says he's so nice, and leans over saying she'll sleep over again some time, which Yamada overhears, and stares blankly ahead. He fearfully asks when that was, and she reminds him of when he woke up one morning to find a strange girl on their couch, with him realizing that must have been her. Yamada defiantly announces that she also slept over once, and even took a bath there, which Momo finds amusing. Kana fills up Yamada's glass, and she asks if Kana wants anything ordered from the tablet, but she says she's fine, saying today she's the guardian. Suddenly Momo starts squealing at the arrival of a "Shogo-kun," and runs over to him, embracing him and lovingly thanking him for showing up so quickly. He connects eyes with Yamada, and they realize that they had met, as he was the one who hit on her outside of the concert. He awkwardly declares that he'll be waiting outside, and Momo frantically asks if he messed with a middle schooler, but dreamily declares that he's such scum.

The kids say their goodbyes to The Blue Cold Men, and Kana ensures that the drunken Momo gets into a taxi, despite her complaints about not finding Shogo. Back at the station, Kyoutarou declares that adults are troublesome, but Kana asks him not to lump them all together. She gets a drink from the vending machine and places it on Yamada's shoulder, asking if it's cold, with Kyoutarou asking if she's her aunt. Yamada takes the drink and apologizes, saying they were the reason she wasn't able to enjoy herself drinking. Kana dismisses her concern, saying she still had fun, but asks that they not hate Momo, because she's a good girl, though Kyoutarou disagrees. Yamada declares that she hopes to become an adult like Kana, someone who cares about everyone around her, which makes her blush. After a few moments, she suddenly declares to Kana that she and Kyoutarou are going out, and she's realized that she needs to do things properly and grow up. She talks a bit about her insecurities, and begins tearing up, but declares that she wants to make Kyoutarou happy. Kana wipes her face, and says that she's plenty grown up as it is, and saying all that proves it. She asks if they're for real about going out, and that night, once everyone is home, she sends Kyoutarou to a Hell of infinite questions as she drinks, asking him who confessed first, what he said, and what he likes most about it.

## Trivia

* In a bit of a meta gag, the Oolong Tea that Yamada and Ichikawa drink is consistently labeled as such, to ensure that there is no implied underaged drinking at the bar. Kana also drinks the same, since she is acting as the guardian.
* Kana's preference for a specific brand of beer, sometimes shown as the real-world Strong Zero, and sometimes as the fictional Maximum Zero, is a trend. She has what appears to be a can in Extra 73.1, several cans can be seen in Chapter 93, and she drinks one at the end of this chapter.
