Thanks @Nitrogen, I edited in your corrections and made a few other changes. As I mentioned elsewhere, Kiyono seems to love to use the verb form ending in -desho or -daro which means "probably." I have been editing to take that into account. Suzuki also has kind of an accent, which may be why so much of his dialogue is spelled out in kana. For example he says "mutsukashi" instead of "muzukashi" for "difficult. I have to change some words like that to make Google Translate understand the meaning.
I think somewhere there is a "hole" in the middle of a sentence, where there were a couple of kanji that I left for later. I need to do a line by line comparison with the original and see if I skipped something. At any rate we get the sense of the chapter pretty nicely from what we've done here.
FWIW Step 40 is a continuation of Step 39. Kiyono is staying with the transvestite boy, and she has a huge confrontation with her Mom and with Suzuki. It is interesting, sometimes Kiyono is drawn almost like a toddler, very young looking, and other times it is hard to tell her from her mother, she looks like a grown woman. That is always true but in this chapter it is extreme.
