// Coming out of the bath and a towel on my head, I dialed their number.
<7203>
// Nagisa also stood beside me, watching for what would happen.
<7204>
// Ring, ring, ring... pluck.
<7205> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Yeah, this is the Furukawas."
<7206>
// Pops' voice.

<7209> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Guahh!"
<7210>
// Clatter!
<7211>
// I hung up by accident.
<7212>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's wrong, \m{B}-kun?"
<7213> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, well... somehow I'm kinda bad at phone calls, it seems."
<7214>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Really?"
<7215>
// I call again.
<7216>
// Ring, ring, ring... pluck.
<7217>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah, Furukawa's."
<7218> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's \m{A}, father-in-law."
<7219>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Guooooo--!!"
<7220>
// Clatter!
<7221>
// ... he hung up.
<7222>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's wrong, \m{B}-kun?"
<7223> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, well... I'll try calling again."
<7224>
// Ring, ring, ring... pluck.
<7225>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, this is your father-in-law."
<7226>
// Clatter!
<7227>
// We both hung up at the same time.
<7228>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<7229>
// Nagisa's looking me with a mysterious face.
<7230>
// I call yet again.
<7231>
// Ring, ring, ring... pluck.
<7232>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Furukawa's..."
<7233> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You said it yourself and hung up, didn't you?"
<7234>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah, that was suicide just now. It's too much of a joke."
<7235>
// Well, it's not a joke, but the truth...
<7236>
// Saying that would make him hang up, so I'll shut up.
<7237>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "So, what? You giving birth to a kid?"
<7238> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're jumping to conclusions too fast."
<7239>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch, then what?"
<7240> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa's starting a job, that okay?"
<7241>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "A job---?!"
<7242> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, a job. Waitress, even."
<7243>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Waitresss---?!"
<7244> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even more, dinner tonight was Arabesque greenling."
<7245>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Arabesque greenling---?!"
<7246> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pitch-hitting Fukuou."
<7247>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Fukuou---?!"
<7248>
// He'll be surprised at anything I say, it seems.
<7249> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That said, go tell Sanae-san for me too. Later."
<7250>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, wait! I was in such a drama, I didn't hear one single damn thing!"
<7251>
// Seems he's giving back only reminiscing words.
<7252>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'll hand it over to Sanae, so tell her in full detail!"
<7253>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, Sanae! I think it's someone called Fukuou, that's all he said!"
<7254>
// I wait for a moment.
<7255>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Hello, this is Sanae."
<7256> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Evening, it's \m{A}."
<7257>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "\m{A} is also Nagisa's surname, \m{B}-san."
<7258> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh, that's right. It's \m{B}."
<7259>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Hi. What might it be, \m{B}-san?"
<7260> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa's starting a job. I thought I might let her do what she wants."
<7261> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That fine?"
<7262>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What kind of job?"
<7263> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "She'll be a waitress at a new family restaurant."
<7264> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Seems she'll also be working with an acquaintance of hers."
<7265>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Really? That's a relief."
<7266> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Indeed. I think it's fine."
<7267>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Sure, I also think so."
<7268> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "So that's an okay then."
<7269>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes."
<7270>
// I turn around, and give Nagisa an OK sign.
<7271>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah..."
<7272>
// Nagisa's face showed excitement.
<7273> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, see you later."
<7274>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Okay, good night."
<7275> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Good night."
<7276>
// Clatter.
<7277> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No problems."
<7278>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm glad."
<7279> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That said, work hard."
<7280>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I will."
<7281>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Tomorrow, I'll give Nishina-san a call right away."
<7282>
// Today, we laid out our futon just like we usually do.
<7283>
// It just... felt a little lonely.
<7284>
// It felt like the enjoyment of the feeling of her as my wife had already ended.
<7285>
// That said, I shouldn't even be saying that...
<7286>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's wrong, \m{B}-kun?"
<7287> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...? Oh, yeah?"
<7288>
// I was bewildered by her suddenly talking to me.
<7289> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... it's a bit early, but shall we sleep?"
<7290>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sure."
<7291> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<7292>
// I stare up at the ceiling.
<7293>
// I imagine the place where the new family restaurant is in my mind.
<7294>
// I knew that place well.
<7295>
// It was on the road where I had passed by back in school when I attended.
<7296>
// The restaurant seems to have been erected in that quiet place.
<7297>
// Well, there'll be a grand opening next month, so it's not like the building already exists.
<7298>
// It's been a while since I passed through there, so I didn't know.
<7299>
// So I couldn't imagine the restaurant being erected there.
<7300>
// The town's shape is changing.
<7301>
// People's strength is changing.
<7302>
// For our own sakes.
<7303>
// I'm also part of that.
<7304>
// I didn't know whether that was good or bad.
<7305>
// It's not like I have a love for the animals, trees, or forests.
<7306>
// The memories of the city are changing.
<7307>
// It's just that was the thing that was not being allowed for some reason.
<7308>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Are you awake, \m{B}-kun?"
<7309>
// Nagisa's voice brought me to my senses.
<7310> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah? Yeah..."
<7311> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's up?"
<7312>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Could I come over there?"
<7313> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"
<7314>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "This really is lonely."
<7315> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "S-sure..."
<7316>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Can I really come over?"
<7317> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, of course."
<7318>
// She got out of her futon, passing through into mine.
<7319>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I"ve calmed down. Ehehe..."
<7320>
// She smiled, pushing her shoulder against mine.
<7321>
// Her weakness from back then was also changing.
<7322>
// I myself might be afraid right now.
<7323>
// Right now, I might be standing rock still at the bottom of that hill.
<7324>
// I might be looking far up at an unclear future, hesitating.
<7325>
// I bring my arms below Nagisa's neck, and hug her.
<7326>
// I push my nose against her nape.
<7327> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Nagisa..."
<7328>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes...?"
<7329>
// ... always be with me, watching over me...
<7330>
// I wanted to say that, but I didn't.
<7331>
// For some reason, I couldn't say that right now.
<7332>
// It was like some overwhelming power that protested that wish, passing over my mouth.
<7333>
// Instead, I kissed her nape.
<7334>
// And like that, I wanted to tie down both Nagisa and I.
<7335>
// To this old one-room apartment.
<7336>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's the matter, \m{B}-kun?"
<7337> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well..."
<7338>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I also called Nishina-san today."
<7339> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh?"
<7340>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "After doing that, I got in contact with the manager of the family restaurant."
<7341>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Tomorrow's my interview. Is it fine if I go?"
<7342> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, sure."
<7343>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well then, I'll leave home at noon tomorrow."
<7344> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry and go ahead."
<7345>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<7346>
// Nagisa seemed happy. Did she really want to work that badly?
<7347>
// No, even more than wanting to work, she just wanted to work hard at something. That's probably all it is.
<7348>
// A new workplace...
<7349>
// Oh yeah, there'll be a lot of young guys at that family restaurant job...
<7350> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Mmph..."
<7351>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's wrong?"
<7352> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, there's one thing I'd like you to be careful about..."
<7353>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sure."
<7354> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Because right now, you're a girl that just graduated... I think there'll be a lot of guys that'll be courting you."
<7355> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You better not get all alone with any one of them."
<7356>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I know."
<7357>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Besides, if I show them this, I think it'll be fine."
<7358>
// Opening up her hand, she showed the ring she was wearing.
<7359> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, that's true but..."
<7360> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even so, you're cute so... I'm worried."
<7361>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's surely not like that, so it's fine."
<7362>
// Uh, it surely is, that's why I'm worried...
<7363> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Make sure that the shop owner's someone who can be trusted."
<7364>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<7365> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Also, have a talk with Nishina. I'd like to ask a lot of things."
<7366>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<7367> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What else...?"
<7368>
// Ah, again. I'm too worried...
<7369>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What else might there be?"
<7370> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, it's nothing."
<7371> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The only thing left is not to push yourself. That's all."
<7372>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<7373>
// After that, the job stuff was quickly resolved, and next month she was going to be part of the morning crew.
<7374>
// Her rotation ended up going from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon.
<7375>
// Something like that seemed accomodating for a housewife.
<7376>
// Having a history of attending your graduation with your husband tended to surprise people, so that providing some level of protection gave me some relief.
<7377>
// On the other hand, there'd be all sorts of rumors flying around again but...
<7378>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well then, I'll be off."
<7379> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I'll do the same."
<7380>
// Turning around, the room was empty.
<7381>
// From today onward, the two of us will be leaving the house like this.
<7382>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I kind of remember from two years ago."
<7383>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We attended school together."
<7384> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... though I was always late."
<7385>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We're not students anymore now."
<7386> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Freelancers, huh?"
<7387> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara's in training..."
<7388> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nishina's preparing to enter music school..."
<7389> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No one's in high school anymore..."
<7390>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. Everyone's starting on a new path."
<7391>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I have to do the same so that I don't lose!"
<7392> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, give it your best."
<7393>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "See you."
<7394>
// Waving her hand, she walked off in a different direction.
<7395> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<7396> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (... I'm worried...)
<7397>
// I saw her off for a while.
<7398>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Welcome back."
<7399>
// When I came back, Nagisa was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
<7400>
// I didn't see a tiring look from her at all; she was normal as always.
<7401> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How was it? It wasn't tough or anything?"
<7402>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It was certainly tougher than I thought."
<7403>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Besides, today's the opening day, so it's bustling with activity."
<7404> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can take a break. I'll do this."
<7405>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's not how it should be. I also have to do this."
<7406>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Besides, you should be more tired, \m{B}-kun. You're doing heavy labor."
<7407> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's usual for me to be tired, but you're the first day, right?"
<7408>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Hmm..."
<7409>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Then, let's do it together."
<7410> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, that's fine."
<7411>
// That day, the two of us made dinner.
<7412>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There were so many customers."
<7413>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There were so many people I knew."
<7414> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh? Classmates from before?"
<7415>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No, regular customers from the Furukawa Bakery."
<7416>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Everyone was surprised when they saw me working."
<7417>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "They were wondering what I was doing, working in a place like that."
<7418>
// Indeed...
<7419>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And everyone said I was cute."
<7420>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "They said that the uniform was really cute and suited me well."
<7421> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...?"
<7422>
// Serious...
<7423>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I was so happy."
<7424> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You wear this uniform over there?"
<7425>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. It's in the locker."
<7426>
// I really wanted to see Nagisa in that.
<7427> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I-I see... then, maybe when I get a holiday, I'll go and see what you look like."
<7428>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, that seems somewhat unpleasant."
<7429> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Really...? Isn't it fine?"
<7430>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The work uniform is a bit embarrassing."
<7431> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "R-really?"
<7432>
// I suddenly became really interested in seeing it.
<7433>
// Even if I skip out on my job, I really wanted to.
<7434>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "If there's a chance next time... I guess."
<7435> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<7436>
// I'll definitely come and see.
<7437>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Even so, the restaurant was a great success."
<7438>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I could really tell that everyone was looking forward to the opening."
<7439>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Because there really isn't a family restaurant in this city."
<7440> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Indeed."
<7441>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Even I myself was surprised."
<7442>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There are a lot of different systems."
<7443>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Did you know there's stuff like displays saying what floor the elevator's on?"
<7444> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I've never gone, so I don't know..."
<7445>
// Nagisa didn't exhaust her breath for words.
<7446>
// Everything was beginning, and everything was fresh.
<7447>
// After cleaning up dinner, there was a break before the phone rang.
<7448>
// Nagisa took it.
<7449>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, this is the \m{A} residence."
<7450>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Indeed. Ehehe..."
<7451>
// Who might it be? Nishina?
<7452>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, I'll pass it over."
<7453>
// She took the receiver and turned towards me.
<7454>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's dad."
<7455> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pops?"
<7456>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<7457>
// For pops to give a call was rare.
<7458>
// Well at the moment, I don't recall him doing so.
<7459>
// Did some problem regarding Nagisa come up...?
<7460>
// I took the phone, worried.
<7461> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hello?"
<7462>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Oh, my stupid son."
<7463> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, what's up?"
<7464>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, Nagisa's started her job today right?"
<7465> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah she did."
<7466>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Well, you see... some rumor came by my ear about that."
<7467>
// ... a rumor.
<7468>
// I had a bad feeling.
<7469> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What kind...?"
<7470>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah, about how the family restaurant uniform was \bDAMN\u cute!"
<7471>
// Ssss-s-s-slip!\shake{3}
<7472>
// I slid in front of the phone.
<7473>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "It was all the rage over at the store!"
<7474>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Doesn't it interest you?"
<7475> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can go and see, right?"
<7476>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Fool, like I'd do something that embarrassing!"
<7477> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do it!"
<7478>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "That said, go take a picture."
<7479> \{\m{B}} ""

// Clatter. Beep... beep...
<7488>
// He hung up.
<7489>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What happened?"
<7490>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Did dad say something ridiculous again?"
<7491> \{\m{B}} ""

<7504> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I'm tired."
<7505>
// It's been quite a while since I walked around the city on the weekdays, so it was just a little exciting.
<7506>
// I remember the feelings of loitering around the city in my school uniform, back when I commuted to school.
<7507>
// Well then, what should I do from here?
<7508>
// There wouldn't be anything to do at home...
<7509>
// In my student days, I'd go to the arcade and play until my mind went numb. (Though, in the first place, I only saw myself playing with Sunohara).
<7510> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (I suppose...)
<7511>
// I wanted to meet Sanae-san.
<7512>
// I wanted to talk and listen to Nagisa.

// I began walking towards the Furukawa Bakery.

<7529>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "The photo, the photo! Nagisa's cute, erotic, waitress photo!"
<7530>
// This guy's disgusting.
<7531> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Since when did someone take an erotic photo?!"
<7532>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch... don't you know about these things, damn amateur..."
<7533>
// So you're a pro at this, huh?
<7534>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You listen now. The outfit she's wearing in that restaurant's famous for its emphasis on the breasts!"
<7535>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "That's why I want a photo! You got that, idiot?"
<7536>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Arghh, daaamnit! Imagine how hot that'd be! Just look, look!"
<7537>
// Desiring that from his own daughter...
<7538>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes? What did you want to see?"
<7539>
// I heard Sanae-san's voice from behind.
<7540> \{\m{B}} ""

// \{Akio} "Whew..."
<7550>
// Pops took a piece of bread in his hand.
<7551>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hahahahahaha!"
<7552>
// Along with the loud laughter, he threw it into the ground.
<7553>
// Thump!
<7554>
// The smoke lit up, turning the area bright white.
<7555>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Lets go, brat!"
<7556>
// Grabbing my shoulder, he dragged me out of the store.
<7557>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "She's an enemy when she's making bread."
<7558>
// Pops muttered, not even once looking at the puff of smoke in front of the store.

<7560>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Why are you being surprised, even now?"

<7572>\{Akio} ""

<7582> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yep, no idea."
<7583>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Anyway, it's also about appearance. And, I can spy on things as well."
<7584>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Great, right?"

<7599> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I easily \bcan\u."
<7600>
// To be honest, the thought of the reprints as the reward made me shook me a little.
<7601>
// Though, things like secretly taking photos of my girlfriend is kinda pointless...
<7602>
// And besides, going along with pops was just inviting more trouble.
<7603> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, Sanae-san."
<7604>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "What?! How'd she get out of the smoke screen?!"
<7605>
// I looked for a way to escape in pops' confusion as he searched for her.
<7606>
// Turning around in the residential district, I went back to the park.
<7607>
// There was no sign of him.
<7608>
// I guess he'd gone back into the store.
<7609>
// Even so, since Sanae-san was worried, I wanted to go and check.
<7610> \{\m{B}} ""

<7611>
// I called out softly as I went inside the store.
<7612>\{Sanae} ""

// Sanae's face came up, looking at me.
<7614>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Ah, \m{B}-san."
<7615>
// Sanae-san, was sweeping the floor with a broom and dustpan.

<7622>
// Actually, all that was packed in there...?

// \{\m{B}} "Umm... where's pops?"
<7625>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well, he left in the cloud of smoke."

<7635> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No... but, we can't leave the shop unattended right?"

// When Nagisa saw that apartment room for the first time...

// The scenery that spread out from a single corner.
<8111>
// Was it for a moment? Feeling something resisting, I stopped myself.
<8112>
// At the same time, in my memories, the scene changed.
<8113>
// There was stood a "No Entry" sign...
<8114>
// Beyond that, there was a vacant lot of overgrown grass...
<8115>
// The bicycle that passed through the sidewalk burst its tire in the ditch...
<8116>
// The front wheel rose towards the early sun, and the scene...
<8117>
// I already knew these things weren't coming back.
<8118>
// My work was definitely changing the form of things in the city, but...
<8119>
// One day, Yoshino had said "They say that is a person's journey through life."
<8120>
// If things didn't keep changing, would it be impossible to live?

<8129>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Talks about how the groundwork's finally starting next term."
<8130>
// The newspaper's local column made out the new road passing through much of the mountainside to be a big deal.
<8131> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "When's the work going to start?"
<8132>\{Yoshino} ""

// \{\m{B}} "... is that so?"
<8134>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Once the contractors also get involved, work'll come here. It'll get busy."
<8135>
// As he spoke, Yoshino-san closed up the newspaper, preparing to begin work.
<8136>
// I opened up the newspaper again.
<8137>
// In the map inside the newspaper, I began to write down the names of the places I recognized.
<8138>
// Here past the road, it seems the scenery was being completely changed.
<8139>
// I guess I was changing things as well.
<8140>
// Even so, I couldn't imagine the future map.

// \{Nagisa} "They're probably pulling it down."

<8151> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Like hell there is!"

// Clatter!
