  すれ違い
  They passed each other
  This review contains spoilers. 自分の身の回りのことも満足にできないヒロインが、破産寸前で自分の価値を見つめ直す。ヒーローにプロポーズされて結婚しても何もできないと悲観的でしたが、変化しようと努力していく姿が健気でした。ヒーローもヒロインをお金で買ったことを後悔して紳士的に接します。ヒロインを大事にしているのがすごく良く分かりました。

  This review contains spoilers. The heroine, who is not satisfied with her personal surroundings, looks back at her own worth on the verge of bankruptcy. I was pessimistic that I couldn't do anything even if I got proposed to a hero and got married, but the way they made an effort to change was healthy. The hero also regrets buying the heroine with money and treats him in a gentlemanly manner. I understood very well that they cherish the heroine.

  花びら占い 彼の心が決めるもの
  Petal fortune telling what his heart decides
  上流階級で令嬢としてなに不自由なく育ち、というより、何も生活力を持つこと認められず育てられ、破産カウントダウン迄追い詰められたヒロイン。「小賢しく」ならないよう、女は社会には口出ししないよう、など古い男の価値観で押さえつけられた育ち方をしたヒロイン。破産により全てを失うすんでのところ、窮状を知った彼が再び求婚。結婚を申し出てくれた男性は何人かは居た。がしかし今さら浅ましい、などぐるぐる悩むというところ理解出来る。その中でもう一度来た、そこは大きい。しかも格別強い印象を残していた男性。ヒロインは彼の妻として精一杯努力する。かわいい人間だと思う。彼女はいやいややったのではなくて、進んで入って馴染もうと、彼の懐に飛び込んだのだ。しかし彼には、彼女が弱った所につけ込んだ、との負い目が拭えなかった。だから、妻を我が物にしようとしない。彼が素晴らしいのは、落ちぶれそうになった所を救ってやったのだ、などといういやらしさが、毛頭無かったこと。ヒロインの直感は本当に正しかった。彼は真に男らしいのだ。入浴シーン、もう少し互いの相手には秘めた自分の心の内の真実を、こちら読み手がそのもどかしさを、感じ取れる所が欲しかった、乗馬シーンも、ヒロインの心の高揚の描写が少し物足りなかった。牧場らしい風景はもう少し見たかった。牧場の人たちももうひと働きするのであれば、多少は印象に残るビジュアルで出した方が盛り上がれた身がする。二人の関係の焦れが好みでない人は楽しめないか知れないが、ヒロインを悩ませた問題が片付くまで、物語として、二人が清々しく向き合えない。負い目引け目経済的救済色を一旦解消させない限り、物語が目指すクリーンなハピエンに辿り着かないのだ。晴れてフラットな状態の二人に戻して、その時にも相手を決めますか、という問いかけに一点の曇りのない結末、アメリカのストーリーだなぁとしみじみ。ヒロインが彼にいろいろ正直なのがまた潔過ぎて素晴らしい。彼は今、どんな気持ちなのかしら、というコマ、読めない顔のそのアングルがいい。

  Rather than being raised as a daughter in the upper class without any inconvenience, she was raised without being recognized as having any living power, and was cornered until the bankruptcy countdown. The heroine was raised in a way that was held down by old man's values, such as not being “petty” and not interfering with society. After losing everything due to bankruptcy, he proposed again after learning about his plight. There were several men who offered to marry me. But now it's even more shallow, and I can understand that it's bothering round and round. Among them, I came here again; it's big. Moreover, the man left an exceptionally strong impression. The heroine does her best as his wife. I think he's a cute person. She wasn't bothered; she jumped into his arms in an attempt to get used to him. However, he couldn't get rid of the debt that she put in where she was weak. That's why I don't want to take my wife as my own. What's great about him is that he didn't have any sense of annoyance, such as saving a place that was about to fall. The heroine's instincts were really right. He is truly manly. The depiction of the heroine's exalted heart in the bathing scene, and the horse-riding scene where readers wanted a place where they could feel that frustration a little more, was a little unsatisfactory. I wanted to see a little more of the farm-like scenery. If the people at the ranch are also going to work one more time, it would be more exciting to show it with visuals that left a slight impression on them. People who don't like the impatience of the relationship between the two may enjoy it, but until the issues that bothered the heroine are cleared up, the two can't face each other cleanly as a story. You won't be able to reach the clean happien that the story aims for unless you resolve the debt and financial relief colors once and for all. I think it's an American story with an unmistakable ending in response to the question of whether they return to a clear and flat state and decide who to play against at that time. The fact that the heroine is so honest with him is also so clean and wonderful. I like that angle on his face that he can't read, wondering how he feels right now.

  ずっと気になっていて…
  I've always been curious...
  ためし読みでは、ヒーローが何を考えて、どんな策を張り巡らせているのか考えが及ばず、ずっと気になっていた作品が割引になったのを期に購入。私が想像していたヒーロー像と少し違ったものの、最後まで気分よく読むことができる作品でした?

  In the trial reading, I couldn't think about what the hero was thinking and what kind of measures they were planning, and I bought the work I had always been interested in at a discount. Although it was slightly different from the hero image I had imagined, was it a work I was able to read comfortably until the end?
