'''Chapter 1: Warm Days ''' (*Translation in progress. As a non-native speaker, the translator toils to translate the chapter in appropriate grammar. Translator's comment is marked with *. To quote Shakespeare: 'Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage—The which, if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.')

(*Any comment on my use of present tense instead of past tense? I feel that we are engaging all the events with the narrator, mostly Yiuchi, so I keep using present tense. Does that make sense? Especially the thoughts of the narrator, they really need to be in present tense, because it reflects how he/she changes his/her mind over time.)

Sits in front of me is an old door.

A door which can be broken with a light kick. The hinge is fragile and thin. If intended, it can be kicked off easily. To me, however, it is a solid door, far more secure than heavy iron ones. I can never step to the world inside, let alone breaking it.

Written on a plastic label was revealed above the door:

ICU--- (*intensive care unit)

Though an idiot like me would never know what English words are those initial standing for, I know, for certain, that it is translated as emergency room. (*Don't really know how to translate this...) Here in the Municipal Wakaba Hospital has patients drove in with ambulance, but surprisingly, half of them are not emergency--a few hours after arriving, they will be walking out of the hospital with embarrassment. It is said that, the real severe ones, like those who facing deaths, amount to ten to twenty percent only. Those severe patient would be carried to here (*Refers to ICU) after treatments. And, some portion in the group......I don't know how many though, cannot live.

This is such a place.

A few days after the operation,Rika is still living, like Natsume said, the operation was successful. However, Rika presently cannot leave ICU, and no sign of doing so. Such a situation makes my mind go wild. Depicted in my mind was a simpler future: if the operation was successful, the situation would turn right, I can meet Rika immediately after the operation. Rika would smile to me, following her, I would also smile. <ref>(* it might be clumsy to say following someone to smile. It might be better to say 'reply with a smile', but I think that 'following' can better convey the position which Yuichi was in--Happy just because Rika is happy.)</ref> And we will making jokes, being happy, very happy. However, if the operation was failed, the world would be destroyed and no way to go on.

Nevertheless, the world is not as simple as this. Even though the operation was successful, everything was not put to an end, at the same time never started. I am confused, when the reality of 'success' reals, the dungeon of despair also unseals.

Indeed, just like hovering in the midair.

I cannot laugh nor can I cry. There is no one who could tell me which to do. If the operation succeed, there is a brave new world waiting up front! I was convinced with this line of thought before, but such a superficial hope is slowly fading.

Finally, the door leads to ICU was opened.

"Oh, miss Akiko."

A shadow, which I eagerly approached to, leaked.

"Yeah." Miss Akiko said:

"You are still here?!"

"Y, yes."

I saw Miss Akiko entered ICU one hour ago, therefore, I kept waiting here.

"How is Rika?"

"Well, she is surprisingly recovering smoothly."

"Ok."

I let out a breathe, which carries all my strengthen in my kneels.

"Great."

"Ok, time to leave now."

"Oh, right."

I followed Miss Akiko. I don't know why, Miss Akiko is rushing in her steps. She seems to be raising her shoulder. Recently, Miss Akiko keep look like this, speak very little. She is not angry, but, out of no reason, she would give me a harsh look. What is going on......

"Well, Yuichi."

"Yes?"

In a split second, our eyes met.

"Well..."

"Huh?"

"...Never mind."

Miss Akiko seldom behaves so confusingly. There must be something going on. Suddenly I am disturbed, because I feel that her strange words and acts maybe related to Rika's sickness.

Unconsciously, I spoke:

"Miss Akiko, may I ask."

"What?"

In a split second, our eyes met again.

"Well...I..."

"Huh?"

"Never mind."

God! Why is using language so hard? Even ten percent of thought in my mind cannot be conveyed clearly! Oh, maybe not. Maybe it is my mind which is confused.

I am not even sure of myself.

After that, we both kept our mouth shut, keep walking on the ramp or the hallway. I have many things to speak or to ask, but in the end none is turn to words.

We arrived the medical station in this way.

Miss Akiko stopped in front of the door.

"By the way, are you writing the reports?"

"Oh, I did nothing."

"Idiot, you really are an idiot! If you cannot hand in the reports, aren't going to repeat? Like me, I was failing all the time too, but I have never repeated."

I am flooded with anguish and say:

"What do you mean by 'like me'? I am not failing all the time, just a subject or two."

"But, you are going to repeat, right?"

"Well, that is right..."

"Rika is working hard, you should do so too."

Miss Akiko smiled after she speaks.

"You tone seems like a nurse just then."

"..."

"Wa, what? What does that look mean? Well, young-lings are not cute recently, they never say 'I will work hard!' honestly."

"(*??)pong!" My head was hit! Ouch! Why is she hitting me?! A person like her!

"Ouch, Miss Akiko was making fun of me just then, right?"

"Hahahaha."

"You are laughing too?"

Even if I have said that, I am also laughing.

"Quickly get back to your room."

"Yes, yes and yes. Understood."

But when I were to walk, I was stopped.

"Yuichi, you know what?"

"Huh? What?"

I am still immersed in the funny moment, brightly asked. However, Miss Akiko has already withdraw her smile. Indeed, the grin is no where to be found. Oh, Miss Akiko's mouth is moving, what did she said? The word, the reality, soon to be heard, which I am anticipating, but at the same time what I have been dodging for will soon arrive.

Despair?

Hope?

Of course, I cannot be prepared mentally. I can only wait for the words with shiver. But, Miss Akiko stopped her lips. Then, Miss Akiko shown a dim light in her eyes, which I know by heart. It is the same as Natsume's eyes after the operation.

Miss Akiko is also sympathising with me.

"Go back to your room, you kid!"

"..."

"Or, you will never get out of hospital!"

Then, Miss Akiko stepped inside the medical station.

Or I should say, 'dodging' inside.

Strangely enough, what sort of things which I don't know, is hold as a secret to me? Regardless of whom, Natsume, Miss Akiko or another other nurses are covering it.

Suddenly, I feel painful in the chest.

I kneel down immediately.

"I can't... breath...."

I have breathing in and out.

I am really breathing.

But, why it feels so painful?

<ref>(* It seems like an abrupt change in the novel....)</ref>

By the way, it doesn't make sense!

It is abnormal.

There must be something wrong with it.

For example, something went wrong... Yes, like that thing. When I a first year student in junior high school <ref>(* grade seven, first year in secondary school, form one student, well, depend on where you are from.) </ref>, I really like a girl, nonono, actually not that deep a love. Unlike 'fondness' or 'love', which seems grand or emotion which makes the heart pounding strongly, I somehow slowly think that being with her is natural.<ref>Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miyuki, you dumped him so early on.... Sobbing for Yuichi....</ref> <ref>Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it that should be a misunderstanding, since in Miyuki side here and there somehow reflect that she had special feeling with Yuichi.... Sobbing for them.</ref>

Yes, indeed, not 'love'... No, I am not forcing(*??), it really is true, for real.

That was a long time ago, there is once I was walking with that girl. That then, a handsome guy <ref> It has been very weird to me, Japanese males hates handsome guys out of no reason. Through the context, Yuichi is not jealous because the handsome guy steals his girl, but just being angry because that guy is handsome...</ref> heading us. Of course I am jealous, I wish he can disappear right away.

Nevertheless...

The girl who walked beside me suddenly eased her pace.

"What happened?"

I asked.

"Umm."

She replied coldly, ducked her head, walking even slower. I was still walking in the same pace, which made our distance more than one meter.

At the same time when I stop, the handsome guy spoke in a bright tone, which suits his handsome look, to that girl.

"Hey! Heading home?"

"Yeah, right."

She made a big smile, violently nodding.

That was a completely different attitude to me just then!

We were friends for a long time.

I understand her too much.

But, I know nothing about her with this look.

Then, the handsome bastard chat with her a bit, being idiotically kind just like how he treated every other person. As for her, she is still making that bright smile.

Leaving me alone.

Because I am alone, so I understood a lot of things.

Then, I am hurt at the same time I understood. <ref> Poor Yuichi...</ref>

Clearly, she don't want to be misunderstood as hanging out with me. That's why she slowed her pace...

Yes, right. That is not love.

We are not in a relationship in any sense.

It doesn't matter. We are just childhood friends(*幼馴染)--getting together from childhood only! Therefore, regardless of her falling in love with others, or that guy is completely not loving her--it just doesn't matter. I don't care if she kept a distance with me because of others, nor do I care the cold attitude, I just shouldn't care! Let alone being hurt because of this.

However, even so, I was hurt.

"Well, bye bye~"

"see ya!"

The two of them exchanged the plain old goodbye before separating.

The guy head to the other way,

when she head back to me... But still keeping a distance.

"Off we go, Miyuki."

I squeezed out a smile, and spoke with delight.

Yes, I smiled.

Or, what else can I do? <ref> Heart broken...</ref>

Anyway, it is not a world which lack of non-sense.

More severely, take the wars in all parts of the world as an example, that is already the best proof for the non-sense. "Boom, boom!" bombs were aimlessly thrown by the justice army, when kids, whose parents are murdered, and who carried bombs and rushed into that army, are considered as terrorists. Sigh, similar things are countless, they can even be considered as old stories.

Nevertheless,

I really don't know it can be non-sense as such, as wrong as such. If one ask what kind of non-sense it is, what absurdity it is, what went completely wrong..... Yes, if I really need to practically depict it, it is this:

Yamanishi got a girlfriend!!

And it is said that she is a beauty!

Why do I know that? It's because that Yamanishi is happily boasting in front of me!

"Hahahahahahaha, indeed, a man like me will never be (*??)wasted by any girl. What should I say? Heartthrob! (*??Japanese idiom)<ref> I will leave it blank, I really don't know how to translate this.</ref>, that is to say, just opening my mouth, preys will fall in automatically. Anyway, that is the feeling! Hahahahaha!"<ref> Poor Yamanishi.</ref>

"..."

"Oh, I can barely bear this, she is so annoying that she send message once in a while to me! But well, girls are fear of loneliness, don't they? Therefore, we guys should be considerate and reply, that is the responsibilities of man, right? Hey!"

Yamanishi came into my room.

At the same time eating in a scary look, clearing the Ise staple -- ginger sweets which was given by visiting guests.<ref> I really am amazed by the number of guests that Yuichi has.</ref> I don't really like the sweets. I feel that that taste of sweet and spicy can never match. There would be a bit of sore deep in the throat after eating that. Therefore, I told Yamanishi that he can eat them. After that, things turn to such a situation -- his momentum seems to fight for emptying the whole box of the sweets.

You should be more polite and reserved, you idiot Yamanishi...

As for me, I am lying on the bed. Actually I really want to get up and hit Yamanishi (*Well, I don't know how to translate the original one...). But sadly, I am now feeding drip.

I then determined to ask in a harsh voice.

"How did you confess?"

"Huh?"

Yamanishi was chewing the ginger sweets when he speak at ease like a hero with a sneer.

"Well, you really don't know the great one's charm?!"

"Charm? You mean your look with those bit and piece of ginger sweets sticking beside your mouths?"

"Well....Ummm.... She said that this is cute."

Hahaha, Yamanishi laughed again. Jerk! I feel so mean. Ok, even so, how can Yamanishi get a girl friend?

"Anyway, it is her who said first. That's it."

Yamanishi proudly said that. I am so scared:"What? she confessed to you?"

"Yep."

It is so strange. If it is the girl accepted Yamanishi's confession because she cannot endure the annoying stubborn chasing, that can be... Even so, it is really questioning... Sooo suspicious... And I cannot... understand. Sigh, I may need to accept it... Nonono, I may think that there must be some great secret, but then before the things entangled up, just consider it as a good thing. Let it be... You said she confessed?

What if he got cheated?

These are the first things which comes to my mind. Nonono,these are objective opinion <ref> Well, opinion must be subjective, anyway.</ref>, really not that I am admiral or jealous or even looking down on him.

"It is like this: I was suddenly called outside, then I thought 'could it be...'. Finally, it is really what I thought. She asked 'Can you hang out with me?' <ref> Japanese confess by asking someone to hang out with him/her. There is a lot of comedy in which the person really think that the counter part would like to hang out only, which makes a lot of "funny moments"</ref> <ref> I really don't understand why this is so blunt and so non-romantic, isn't it so plain to ask someone out to a place and just confess? Anyway, maybe I am a freak.</ref> She had been bowing her head, most likely due to embarrassment. She must have been gathering all of her courage to confess. I was really touched and I thought I need to give her happiness right away at that time. <ref> Again, as a freak, I cannot understand why people can accept a confession so easily. But they, they were kids, so... maybe a bit less mature.... But I have never got confessed!</ref>"

Yamanishi seems to be floating.

Seems like he is very very happy.

When I look at the bright grin that Yamanishi has, those emotion I had slowly faded. Whether it is anxiety or shocking, everything has vanished.

Leaving loneliness behind.

In the dark and void heart, I can see someone shivering who shrank his back so hard.

I lightly touch the Thibaults on the table.

Rika's thoughts,

emotion,

I always put that book, those words, beside me.

"Ezaki, Hey, Ezaki...Ezaki!"

"Oh, hey."

"Are you listening?"

"You are so annoying! I don't want to listen to your romantic story!"

I tried to grin while replying, but I don't really know whether I grinned.

"How are you? You look tired."

"Hahaha, It's because I am a patient!"

"Right. By the way, How is Rika?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"I said I don't know."

Yamanishi stare at me for a while.

"Ok--"

He started clearing the ginger sweets after that.

From then on, Yamanishi kept silence. Only the "Chew,chew" chewing sound echoing in the empty room. Outside the window, there is a great big sky which seems so lazy. Tree sprouts are blooming. Regardless of how we feel, regardless of whether we are happy or obstructed, the world and the season kept advancing. It just doesn't care. This makes me a bit lonely, but at same time thankful.
寂寞,同時也有些感激.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (半分の月がのぼる空) is a light novel series written by Tsumugu Hashimoto and illustrated by Keiji Yamamoto. The series is completed in 8 volumes.

==Story Synopsis==

I was suddenly hospitalized. For me, it was like an early winter vacation.

In the hospital, there was a girl the same age as I. Her name was Rika. She was selfish. Like she was a queen. But, her selfishness was inevitable...

From time to time, Rika becomes silent.

She just stares at Houdaiyama.

Though I'm beside her, she ignores me completely.

When will my hands reach her? When will I be able to bring her to the place she dreams of----?

==Chapter 2: Natsume Gorou's Triumphs and Defeats I==

[[Image:Hantuki04_085.jpg|thumb]]
=== 1 ===

“Meh, that lecturer is exactly an imbecile. He’s just a small lecturer in cram school. How good is he? He joined some student movement when he was young, and now that’s he flaunts about all the time. It’s just going to show how much a failure he is.”

As I spit out these words, Sayoko giggled.

“Gorou, you look lively.”

“What? What are you trying to say?”

“Well, whenever you bad mouth someone, you look really happy.”

I fell silent.

This had always been the case.

Sayoko could always say something that thrusts into my chest like a sword with a normal, calmed face. She didn’t mean to criticise or trouble me. Well, she would do troubling stuff that normal people do (which I always do). She puts her true thoughts out.

So what she said was close to reality.

Sometimes they were things I didn’t want to see or hear about.

Almost like a mirror, my figure was clearly shown to myself.

“…”

I glanced at her. She was walking forward, smiling.

It was only the end of October, yet today was colder than ever. She wore a caramel duffle coat. It was perhaps a little big for her, for her hands, including her fingernails, were hidden in the sleeves. With her short height, that garment made her look entirely like a primary school kid. Adding to her baby face, her appearance was younger than her actual age by two to three years. I heard she was often treated by second year students at school as underclassman. For a while, we continued walking without talking. I puffed white smoke which subsequently vanished in the cold air.

We were in a big park. There was a Hanshu who ruled over this city with a castle before, so this park is now called the castle park, even though there aren’t anything ruins that could be said as a ‘castle’. At best there is a stone wall. During the Meiji Restoration, the Hanshu sent Sabakuha troops here to guard here and fought the Toubakuha until the very end. The castle that was once here had been devastated.

What a dumb Hanshu who knew nothing of tactics.

Everything would have been right if he had joined the winning party.

If I were him, I’d definitely do so.

Tall tress surrounded us as we passed through the pedestrian road. We were heading to the museum. Sayoko, despite being a high school student, liked pottery. She said she wanted to go to this museum that was exhibiting some pottery from the Azuchi-Momoyama period. I didn’t have any interest in pottery, but if Sayaoko liked it, I didn’t care whether it was pottery exhibition or book exhibition.

I was a bit hesitant to say this at first, but then I wanted to show off a bit.

“I didn’t want to badmouth them. This is just how it is.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Still smiling, Sayako nodded.

“I know what you mean, sir.”

What’s with that ‘sir’ thing? //original: why are you using teineigo (polite language)//

“I didn’t make it up.”

“Yeah. You’re right.”

“Anyway, there are just too many sloppy people in Japan! Even people who think this strange only gives out a hearty laugh and let it go. Well, I hate this. If it’s strange, you’ve got to say it. It’s not good to be quiet about it.”

What shit am I talking about? I’m getting shameful of myself for what I am saying. To hide my embarrassment, I continued my proposition with a half-joking tone. Sayako only continued smiling with her usual face.

When I continued my childish proposition…

“Hey, Gorou.”

Sayoko circled my arm very naturally.

“It’s tiring to live like that.”

“Tiring, uh?”

“Okay, okay. Don’t think about it too much. I don’t hate you for that. I don’t mean anything serious.”

She said, looking at me innocently.

“…”

I was stumped by just her few words.

I was thinking so much that I seemed like a comedian trying to play tricks while hiding his superficial self-esteem. At the end of the day, Sayako could easily speak what she was thinking and make it to the point. My fervent arguments were nothing against her skills: it wasn’t even a match to being with.

This is what you call ‘struck speechless’.

Sometimes I’d think it’s a wonder why I started dating Sayako.

Generally speaking, there were also three to four bright girls in a classroom that could bring up the mood and get everyone’s attention. Most of these girls already had their boyfriends…well, they were easy to talk to.

I liked these easy-to-understand girls. Playing fair with them was a part of my character, probably because I too was easy to understand.

In a nutshell, they were like a mirror.

Naturally, I pursued things that were same as me.

But Sayaok was different from them. She looked dumb, easily to be categorised as those several unattractive girls in the class. Neither a pretty girl or a cool girl. She speaks little. Sometimes you can’t figure out what she is thinking.

Whenever this happens, I become extremely uneasy.

Those easy-to-understand girls could be understood if I look into myself because they were just like mirrors.

But I couldn’t figure out how Sayako thinks.

She was different from me.

No matter how I look into myself, I couldn’t find an answer.

I guess this might be a reason why she got me.

I first came across Syako in the cultural festival.

I was a bit late to the place.

“Oh, Natsume, you’re late.”

My friend Mori hit me up when I entered.

We were in a shop a bit close to the station. In the morning it is a cafe, but at night it becomes something like a pub. The shop owner was an alumnus called Takiguchi from our school. And in the celebration party after the festival, they would let us get away with some alcohol.

This was why Mori had already become seriously drunk.

“Hey, you’re already down,” I replied with a wry smile, “You really have this party going, executive.” I made a satirical remark.

The only one pumped here was Mori. The shop was so quiet no one would believe this was the celebration party. Normally, it was common to see one or two drunkards.

Mori sulked, “It’s all because I did this job well.”

“Too well, I say.”

“It’s not my problem. I dragged the S girls around, but I couldn’t believe they were just a bunch of boring tarts.”

S girls referred to the area’s best high school for girls, or princesses for that matter.

The school I was in was ‘The First High School’, or usually abbreviated as ‘First High’. Their girl school was different from ours. Our school should be categorised as a poor village school. Even though there were quite a few guys who performed great in academics, and this school being a recommendation for those who want to aim high, those who really want to do so would rather choose a private school. To conclude, those who study in our school are a bunch of jerks.

And I was one of them.

“You called those S girls?”

“Nah. Sakazaki’s girl is an S girl. So we’re able to call them here. They were flowers grown on high hills that we can’t reach usually. So I thought this would be a great chance to hit up on them.”

“So you called them right away? Do you have any integrity?”

“As if I cared about integrity.”

Mori shot the beer in his hand.

“Let’s have our own fun. Some girls are quite cute. Didn’t you just break up with Saki earlier? Find another one.”

I furrowed my eyebrows.

“Don’t mention her.”

“You bitch you can always two-time so calmly…”

“Stop bringing it up, can you?”

I wanted to escape…no, escaping the truth was futile, so I went further inside the shop but then stopped and said in a panic, “Don’t mention to those girls about Saki.”

Mori grinned.

“When you get a cute girl, that’s the first thing I’ll do.”

“Cut me some slack.”

I said, looking back into the shop.

Well, this place was really quiet. No one speaks loudly. Boys and girls speak docilely at their respective sides. There was no way to get people getting together in this situation.

While I was thinking, my eyes met with a girl sitting beside the passage. I cold tell she was an S girl right away. Giving a bet, I gave a smile to her. Perhaps I had contracted Mori’s despair that had me do this. Immediately the girl returned me a cold and uninterested smile.

Garbage, now I know why Mori shot so much alcohol.

“Hey, this isn’t going good.”

Anyway, I had a seat among some people I knew.

“This place is as cold as my fridge.”

I took a beer on the table and crashed it to my stomach. Oota complained, “Hey, that’s mine.”

“Let it go, man.”

“I don’t want to have an indirect kiss with you, buddy. This place is already cold. Don’t make it worse.”

“Hey, who’s up for the challenge first?”

The people sitting around me quickly furrowed their eyebrows.

“That’s suicide.”

“That’s going to be painful.”

“What a punishment game.”

“You’re kidding me, right?”

Everyone responded in unison.

What a pile of cowards.

According to the rule that the one who suggests has to do it first, I naturally become the pioneer for this challenge. Be that as it may, I knew it was stupid to go up by myself, so I took Mori with me. Mori kept voicing his reluctance, but I of course forced him to go with me. Hey, you’re the one in charge here. Who else is going to take responsibility?

My hands on his shoulders, I chose a good spot for my ambush.

“Yo guys!”

“Yo guys!”

With a crude voice, we performed a perfect duet.

But we only hit the walls. The girls only gave us cold gazes…

We’d have to change our target now, and if that didn’t work, then another target.

“Stop fooling around, Natsume.”

Mori said with a crying voice.

But I still forced him to continue.

“Aren’t you the executive here? If you’re starting it, you the responsibility to heat it up. Okay, give me a good smile. We’re doing an even better duet this time.”

“Let me go. I’ve drunk too much. I’m getting sick now.”

“Okay, we’re starting now. One, two, three…”

As reluctant as he may sound, Mori let out a pretty good voice.

“Yo guys!”

“Yo guys”!

We made another impeccable duet.

Six girls around a table widened their eyes. Ah, damn, did we flunk it again? When this thought was in my head, the girl sitting front bursted into laughter at last.

Excellent. She responded! Now we can do it!

“Great, uh? We’re First High’s Duet Team. I’m Natsume, and this guy’s…”

“I’m Mori.”

Mori’s doing good now.

Gaining recognition for his performance, he transformed into a completely different guy, his face all smiles.

“This party is too cold. So we’re going to heat it up!”

“We’re the ‘heaters’!”

The girls in this area were the frivolous ones, as they laughed to our shitty jokes.

After that, they even invited us to sit beside them.

When this happened, they had become our possessions.

There were frivolous girls among S girls. These girls attract attention, and boy, talking with them lifts the atmosphere, heats up the party, and brings everyone into high spirits. Gradually the boys and girls seat together and the suitable atmosphere of a celebration party were slowly being formed.

I got up halfway in the party.

“Hey, Mori. I’m going to the toilet.”

“Hahaha. You sure? I’m going to take Takako away.”

The Takako he said was the cutest girl in this area, even though she seemed like the most frivolous girl. In other words, she suited my taste. It also meant she suited Mori’s taste. Not long after we changed seats, we had commenced a battle to get her attention with our mouths and attitudes.

“Try if you can.”

Throwing a line of confidence, I left my seat.

Acting against my words, I ran to the toilet as fast as I could, even though I knew he couldn’t manage to get her with the time given. After I came out of the toilet, my eyes fell on a girl.

The girl was sitting at the counter alone.

In the noisy shop, her lonely figure made a strong impression.

Perhaps what caught me was her long and soft hair. It was my favourite type.

I didn’t know why, really, why I went to her.

“Are you by yourself?”

When I spoke to her, she looked at my face and smiled.

“Yes.”

She nodded like a kid.

Something caused a ripple.

Takako and that party there was in an instant flown away from my mind.

“Hey, Gorou.”

Inside the counter, the store owner Takiguchi spoke to me.

“Help me keep Sayoko company. I’m getting a bit busy here.”

“Oh, okay.”

Takiguchi had seen all the bad stuff I did. I could only nod in front of him to hide my guilt. He gestured to me to come to him. As I went into the counter, approached him, he said softly, “She’s the daughter of my friend.”

“I see.”

“She’s never come to these kind of drinking parties. Help me keep her company, okay? I’m counting on you.”

“Sure.”

“Promise me don’t do anything bad to her.”

“What’s anything bad?”

As I played dumb, he gave me a light kick.

“She’s really a serious kid. She’s not the type you can tame by trying hard in some way. Maybe, she’s not even a girl you can take care of.”

At that time, I didn’t grasp what he said. What did he mean I couldn’t tame this serious girl? But truth is Sayako really wasn’t someone I could take control, not even by trying hard. She had something that surpassed me. It’s a bit shameful to say what it was, so I won’t say it.

“So I’m counting on you.”

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

After Takiguchi had left, I left the counter and sat beside the girl.

“Is your name Sayako?”

“Yes.”

She nodded, giving me another meek smile.

“Sayako Higuchi.”

“Oh, I’m Natsume. Gorou Natsume.”

That was how it started.

Even when I think about it now, I have no idea of why I fell for her so quickly. Still, whenever I see her childish smile, everything in my mind is blown away. Takako’s energetic voice, her frivolous attitude, even her laughter that seemed to ring from her stomach, everything vanished.

I talked with Sayako until the party ended.

Around the end of the party, I had fallen deep in love with her.

“Well, can you give me your contact?”

Feeling a bit nervous, I said.

I had always asked for contacts a lot of times, and those who weren’t willing to give their contacts were, I had believed, the best girls. Only this time I was very nervous about this.

When I think about what would happen if I fail, my legs trembled.

Sayako gave it a little thought.

“Okay.”

She answered, smiling.

Sayako wrote her number on the underside of a coaster in the shop. I had treasured that coaster ever since.

It was really a treasure to me.

It’s the first…no, second most thing I treasure in my life.

The first thing I treasure?

The person who gave me the coaster, of course.

As an announcement saying it was already five sounded, we were chased out of the museum.

Truth be told, we had spent almost half the day in the museum.

It was only a city museum, and the exhibitions were not really that many, but Sayako gave eace pot, each plate a good look before going to the next one. There was that Karatsu porcelain that looked nothing more than your average plate, but she spent more than ten minutes examining it.

After we left the museum, it had already been dark outside. The trees looked like abandoned kids. The street lamps shone with a melting hue. Passing through the street lamps, our long shadows stretched before us.

“Cold! Cold!”

“Okay…”

This was the best excuse.

I took her hand and brought it into my pocket along the flow. Our hands intertwined. Her hand was small.

“Hey, it feels great when you’re with me.”

I said, with strong feeling gushing into me.

Like a cat, Sayako rubbed against my shoulder with her cheeks.

“Really?”

“Yeah, I mean it, “I said, being serious, “I don’t lie like that.”

“Yeah, I know, but…”

“But?”

“You’re an ambitious person.”

She showed another smile and spoke the truth calmly.

True, I wanted to be successful in the society. No, I planned to. I had the brains. I could also work my ass off. I was the type who thought that the teachers at school were all stupid. I had that potential.

I wanted to have everything.

I didn’t plan to waste my life here in the countryside. Not even a bit.

“Is being ambitious bad?”

“Well it’s good.”

“Well…?”

“Well, it’s fine what you’ll become. Even if you become a failure in the society…”

I frowned and interrupted her, “Please don’t say these ominous stuff.”

“But these things happen quite often. Hey, Gorou, our world is harsh. We aren’t kids, you know? I know there good things happen. But so do bad things. Not everything can be done by hard work. Of course, hard work is appreciated, but that doesn’t guarantee a good outcome. Well, I mean…”

Sayako looked troubled. She spoke of this and that and got herself messed up about what she was trying to convey.

I decided to help her pinpoint it.

“So you’re saying not everything will be as you wish? No matter what you’re capable? No matter how hard you work?”

“Yeah, that!”

Cool, Sayako was now holding my empty hand tightly.

“Gorou, you’re smart! No wonder you’re aiming for a medical degree in K university! A scholar!”

“Haha.”

I just laughed. It bit me about describing me as a scholar. Right, I was no genius. I worked up the ladder bit by bit. I had certain potential in studying, so I thought I was talented and went to a difficult cram school. But there I met some really clever guys on some heights I could never reach.

My confidence was drained away very soon.

My inflated ego and conceitedness were all pulverised. Then I realised I might just be another guy, tasting the scary feeling that I possessed no special talent: all I did was improving myself bit by bit, and these bits made what I was. My grades were good, but they were basically a reflection of the usual scholar.

“So I don’t mind whether you succeed or fail, Gorou. Because this depends half on hard work but the other half on luck. Gorou, you can work hard, and I know you thrive, but we’re powerless against luck.”

“No problem,” I said. “because I’m a lucky guy.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Believe me.”

I swallowed what I was going to say because of embarrassment.

Because I have you. I think it’s great to go out with you. I know a ton of girls more beautiful or cooler than you. Well, a ton, I guess. Even those who are smarter than you are beyond my count. But there are not many girls that are like you. I’m now going out with you. Man, my luck couldn’t be better.

I pondered whether I should tell her that.

I should tell her what I feel.

“…”

But I couldn’t say it bluntly. Besides, when I see her smiling beside me, I would think it didn’t really matter if I said it or not. Maybe, she knew what I was thinking. She looked dumb, but her intuition was always right. She could easily grasp the integral parts of this world.

“Hey, Gorou.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t change too much. What are you now is good enough. It doesn’t matter whether you become a great doctor or a failure in society.”

“…yeah.”

I wanted to be honest about what I was thinking, but in the end I kept it to myself. Sayako must have been able to say what I wanted to say with ease. She could say what she thought. She had that confidence. On the other hand, biased and ego-blinded, I couldn’t do it. Once I say it, I feel my words would be contaminated with lies and falsities.

So I decided not to say it, but convey it in another way.

“Ah, you’re planning something dirty, aren’t you?”

Woah, how did she know?

Nervous, I summoned my courage.

“Be quiet.”

“You look serious.”

“Please don’t joke now.”

She was especially embarrassed about this, so I had to force her to quiet down.

Well, whenever I do this, I would also naturally quiet down.

Sayako and I were still eighteen. Let alone what would happen ten years later, we didn’t even have an idea of what would happen half a year later. Universities, faculties, entrance exams, exam preparation tactics…these trivial stuff had made me dizzy enough. But now at this moment when I held sayako, everything was so certain. The cold wind blowing against me made me more certain of the warmth I felt from her.

Perfect. I really had everything I wanted.

“They’d see us.”

When she could speak again, Sayako said.

Her cheeks were flushed.

While I indulged myself in the happiness in seeing Sayako’s face, I howled with all my might, “As if I’d care.”

I wanted the whole world to see us.

I want to boast about the most precious jewel I had acquired.

She was right. I was rather ambitious.
