He's dead and that's his ghost?

部屋に出た途端ナズと目線があった。その瞬間、

ナズは酷く驚いた顔をして、ナズはその場から走り去った。 僕はナズを追いかけた。今、ナズを見失うと、二度と心通わないような気がして。 ナズは寺の外を走っていた。僕はナズの名を呼びながらそれを追う。 お前が好きだ。お前の気持ちを教えてくれ！と僕が叫ぶと、ナズはその場で止まった。 「あっちへ行ってくれ、今は答えられる気分じゃないんだ」 背を向きながらナズは声を荒げる。 それに僕は近づく。 「あっちへ行ってくれって言っているだろう！」 そう叫んだナズの背を僕は抱きしめた。 「あっ・・・」 ナズは軽く呻き、そして徐々に僕に体重を預けた。 「くっ、飼い慣らされたね。私は」 涙声でナズは呟く。 「・・・私が好きだってね。馬鹿だね君は」 嗚咽をかみ殺すかの様にナズは口を開き始めた。 「一つ君に背信している事がある」 ナズは一呼吸置いた後に語り始めた。 「私は、あの日、初めて君に抱かれた日。 君が話があるというから、期待してついて行ったんだ。私は・・・君の事が好きだったから。とても舞い上がっていた。 そしたら君は恋話の手伝いをしてくれというじゃないか。 そんな話ないじゃないか。私はこんなに君が好きなのに。君はあのお方が好きだと言う。 そして君に好かれているご主人様が憎かった。彼女は君の関心を向けられて居るのに、いつもぐずついて言い訳ばかり。 私はいつも気持ちのやり場がなくて。 そして君の告白を聞いて もう無理だった。 気がつくと君を誘惑して肌を重ねていた。 幸せだった。ずっと君の傍に居たいと思っていたから。 その幸せを手放す事は出来なかった。 だからあんな約束をして、君との関係を維持し続けたんだ。 酷い話だろう？ 君とご主人様をくっつける気は少しも無くて、 君を騙していたんだよ。 行動に移さないご主人様が悪いと自己正当して、ご主人様も傷つけたんだ。 それなのに君は・・・」 ナズは言葉を詰まらせた。 僕がナズに言うべき事は最早ただ一つだった。 それでも僕はお前と一緒にいる時が一番楽くて、心安らいだ。途中から星さんの事はどうでも良くなってお前と一緒にいる事が目的になっていた。これからも一緒に居たいと思う。それは駄目か？ 「・・・君って奴は本当に・・・。あ、有難う・・・。」 そう言ってナズはその後は言葉を失ったようで、ただ泣くばかりだったわっふるわっふる。

This is why I hate religion. Shit gets too extreme that at some points to some, pure happiness is considered 'unholy.'

Okay...? Not sure what that has to do with the story or picture itself.

Can you read Japanese and did you bring enough translation for the rest of the class?

Also an image site is probably not the most appropriate place to vocalize your own prejudices.

Just I left the room, my eyes met Nazu's. In that moment...

Nazu was so horribly surprised that she fled on the spot. I chased after her. I felt that if I lost sight of her now, we would never be together again. She was running out of the temple. I called out her name as I followed her.
'I love you. I have to know how you feel!' I called, and Nazu stopped.
"Go away. This is the wrong mood for answering you," she said without turning to face me. I went closer to her.
"I told you to go away!" she said, but even as she did I embraced her from behind.
"Ah..." she sighed, and little by little she leaned back against me.
"Brought to heel. I've been tamed," she said in a soft, tearful voice, "... You love me, huh? You're an idiot."
She opened her mouth again to talk, and it looked like she was trying to stifle her tears.
"I've already betrayed you once," she said and paused. And then she began to talk.
"That day, the day you first held me in your arms. When you said we needed to talk, I was filled with hope. Because I loved you. It was like I was flying, but then you said you wanted me to help you get Shou-san. Didn't you? Wasn't that the conversation we had? Even though I loved you so much, you said you loved my master. I hated her for that. You were interested in her, but she always sputtered around making excuses. My feelings had nowhere to go. I heard your confession and couldn't take any more. Before I knew what I was doing, I seduced you and slept with you. And it made me happy! I was thinking I always wanted to be by your side. I never wanted to let go of that happiness, so I made that promise to improve your relationship. Isn't that horrible? You and my master were almost together, and I tricked you! Even if I justify myself by saying she was wrong not to act on her feelings, I still hurt her. But despite all that, you say..." Nazu cut her words short.
'There's just one thing I need to say to you. Yes, despite all that, the time I spent with you was the most enjoyable, the most comfortable time I had. Along the way, I stopped caring about Shou-san, and all I wanted was to be with you. I think we should be together from now on, too. Is that wrong? Is that impossible?'
"... You really are an... th-thank you..." she started to say, but then her words failed her, and she just cried.

So when Shou-san got all holier-than-thou in post #995026 I got scared for this part, but now that it's translated I'm REALLY wondering what the down-voted commenter was on about.

Finally, after being torn with route3 ending for the whole week, here come the other 2 not-sure-if-happier-but-at-least-no-blood-seen routes.
TubercularOx, I salute you.
