<0000> Có chiếc ô tô đậu phía trước. Đứng bên nó là một người đàn ông đội mũ và mặc quần áo bảo hộ.
// Up ahead was an automobile. Beside it, a man wearing a helmet and work clothes.
 
<0001> Một chiếc xe ô tô khác cũng dừng gần đó.
// A truck was also stopped nearby.
 
<0002> Một vụ tai nạn chăng?
// Was there an accident?
 
<0003> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Đây. Cậu qua đây nhìn xem."
// \{Man} "Over here. Come and take a look."
 
<0004> Người đàn ông chỉ vào cái mui xe.
// The young man pointed at the hood of the car.
 
<0005> Nhìn kĩ hơn, trên đó có một vết lõm khá tròn.
// Taking a closer look, there was clearly a round dent.
 
<0006> \{\m{B}} "Và?"
// \{\m{B}} "And?"
 
<0007> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Và nếu cậu nhìn đằng trước, sẽ thấy người công nhân ở kia."
// \{Man} "And if you look up ahead, there's that worker over there."
 
<0008> Khi nhìn lên phía trước, có một chiếc thang đang đựng sát vào cột đèn.
// And looking up ahead, there was a ladder propped up against the street light.
 
<0009> Hình như nó đang trong quá trình sửa chữa.
// Looks like it's undergoing repairs.
 
<0010> \{Người Thợ} "Dù anh có nói bao nhiều lần đi chăng nữa..."
// \{Worker} "No matter how many times you say it..."
 
<0011> \{Người Thợ} "Vết lõm đó trông không giống như bị dụng cụ rơi trúng."
// \{Worker} "That dent doesn't look like it was caused by a dropped tool."
 
<0012> \{Người Thợ} "Thử nghĩ xem. Nếu làm thì tôi sẽ không cố tỏ vẻ che dấu."
// \{Worker} "But suppose it was. I wouldn't try to act like I were hiding it."
 
<0013> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Có thể anh đánh rơi thứ gì đó mà không để ý."
// \{Man} "Maybe you dropped something and didn't notice."
 
<0014> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Này, cậu có nghĩ vậy không?"
// \{Man} "Hey, don't you think so?"
 
<0015> Người đàn ông quay sang tôi.
// The man turned to me.
 
<0016> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Cậu thanh niên này sửa chữa ngay trên chiếc xe của tôi."
// \{Man} "This man was working right above my car."
 
<0017> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Anh ta cứ phủ nhận rằng không có thứ gì rơi, nhưng thực tế là mui xe của tôi đã bị lõm xuống thế này."
// \{Man} "He insists that nothing fell, but because something did, my hood's been dented like this."
 
<0018> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Cậu nói xem còn sự việc nào khác xảy ra nữa chứ."
// \{Man} "Tell us which story makes more sense."
 
<0019> \{\m{B}} "Ai biết..."
// \{\m{B}} "Who knows..."
 
<0020> \{Người Đàn Ông} "'Ai biết' là ý gì chứ... cả cậu cũng không có khả năng phán đoán sao? Tôi chịu cậu đấy..."
// \{Man} "What do you mean, 'who knows'... are you a man with no sense either? I give up..."
 
<0021> Thật lòng, tôi chẳng quan tâm.
// To be honest, I couldn't care less.
 
<0022> Có lẽ sẽ tốt hơn nếu tôi không dính vô chuyện này.
// It would be better if I didn't get dragged into this.
 
<0023> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Được rồi, tôi sẽ gọi thẳng đến công ty anh. Xem họ giải thích thế nào."
// \{Man} "Then, call your company. Explain what happened."
 
<0024> Tình thế này thì tôi chẳng giúp gì được.
// I've got nothing to do with this situation.
 
<0025> Bỏ đi
// Run off
 
<0026> Quan sát một lúc nữa
// Watch a little longer
 
<0027> Không nói một lời, tôi bỏ đi.
// Without saying anything, I left that place.
 
<0028> Họ cũng chẳng thèm gọi tôi lại. Chắc họ không để ý.
// They didn't call out after me. I guess they didn't notice.
 
<0029> \{Người Thợ} "Nếu anh muốn chúng tôi trả tiền bồi thường, vậy cũng được thôi."
// \{Worker} "If you want us to pay the cost of repairs, we're fine with paying it."
 
<0030> \{Người Thợ} "Nhưng nghe này... rồi một ngày anh sẽ nhớ lại sự việc và suy nghĩ."
// \{Worker} "But you know... someday I'd like you to one day look back on this and think."
 
<0031> \{Người Thợ} "Liệu người thợ điện có nói dối hay không..."
// \{Worker} "About whether or not this electrician was lying..."
 
<0032> \{Người Thợ} "Anh nên làm thế ở một nơi anh cảm thấy thoải mái nhất."
// \{Worker} "Although you should do that in a place where you feel comfortable with."
 
<0033> \{Người Thợ} "Đúng, nơi đó chính là bên người mình yêu!"
// \{Worker} "That's right, next to the one you love!"
 
<0034> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Hả...? Anh đang nói cái quái gì vậy...?"
// \{Man} "Eh...? What are you talking about...?"
 
<0035> \{Người Thợ} "Mỗi ngày con người đều bị tổn thương."
// \{Worker} "People get hurt every day."
 
<0036> \{Người Thợ} "Nên việc hoài nghi người khác cũng là lẽ đương nhiên."
// \{Worker} "It's only natural to distrust strangers."
 
<0037> \{Người Thợ} "Nhưng nếu anh không tin vào bất cứ điều gì... như thế thật đáng thương."
// \{Worker} "But if you can't believe in anything at all... well, that's really tragic."
 
<0038> \{Người Thợ} "Không tin vào bất cứ điều gì hay bất cứ ai... đồng nghĩa với việc, người đó trở nên vô cảm với tình yêu."
// \{Worker} "To not believe anything anyone says... that's the same as a man that has become unable to feel love."
 
<0039> \{Người Thợ} "Cũng đồng nghĩ với việc chấp nhận thu mình lại đón nhận sự cô đơn."
// \{Worker} "It's the same as being alone."
 
<0040> \{Người Thợ} "Nào... khi cô đơn chúng ta có thể làm được gì chứ?"
// \{Worker} "Now... what are we able to do alone?"
 
<0041> Người đàn ông mặc bộ đồ bảo hộ bước dần về phía chiếc xe của mình.
// The man in work clothes steps closer to the car owner.
 
<0042> \{Người Thợ} "Con người có thể tiếp tục sống nếu chỉ có một mình không?"
// \{Worker} "Where can people go all on their own?"
 
<0043> \{Người Thợ} "Các bạn... đã bao giờ trải qua cảm giác đau lòng chưa?"
// \{Worker} "Have you... ever had painful feelings all by yourself?"
 
<0044> \{Người Thợ} "Bạn có thể sống cuộn mình trong cái kén của sự hẹp hòi đó không?!"
// \{Worker} "You couldn't live on in such servility, could you?!"
 
<0045> \{Người Thợ} "Thật lòng, liệu bạn có cười được trên nỗi đau ấy không?!"
// \{Worker} "Could you seriously laugh?!"
 
<0046> \{Người Đàn Ông} "...... H-haha... à, tất nhiên là không..."
// \{Man} "...... H-haha... well, probably not..."
 
<0047> Người đàn ông cười nhạt và trả lời.
// The man replied with a dry laugh.
 
<0048> \{Người Thợ} "Hừm... vậy sao..."
// \{Worker} "Hm... I see..."
 
<0049> \{Người Thợ} "Nếu vậy, anh có thể cảm nhận được tình yêu."
// \{Worker} "In that case, you can feel love."
 
<0050> \{Người Thợ} "Này..."
// \{Worker} "Well..."
 
<0051> \{Người Thợ} "Để tiếp tục sống, hãy giữ tình yêu đó mãi trường tồn."
// \{Worker} "Continue on living, so that love doesn't disappear."
 
<0052> \{Người Đàn Ông} "A-aa..."
// \{Man} "O-okay..."
 
<0053> Lời lẽ của anh ta thật hoa mỹ và văn chương...
// What cool and magnificent words this man is saying...
 
<0054> Trong khi đội lại chiếc mũ...
// While wearing a helmet...
 
<0055> \{Người Thợ} "Tôi làm việc... để giữ cho tình yêu luôn thắp sáng con tim, thậm chí cho đến giờ cũng vậy..."
// \{Worker} "I shall work... so that love may shine brightly, even today..."
 
<0056> Với lời đó, anh ta lại leo lên chiếc thang.
// And with that, he climbs the ladder.
 
<0057> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Này chờ đã, tôi cần số của công ty anh!"
// \{Man} "Hey wait, I need your company's number!"
 
<0058> \{Người Thợ} "À, phải rồi. Số điện thoại, là cái đó ư...?"
// \{Worker} "Hm, that's right. The office number, what was it...?"
 
<0059> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Ừ, đúng...!"
// \{Man} "Yeah, right...!"
 
<0060> \{Người Thợ} "Danh thiếp có được không?"
// \{Worker} "You fine with a business card?"
 
<0061> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Ừ."
// \{Man} "Yeah."
 
<0062> \{\m{B}} "Ừmm."
// \{\m{B}} "Umm."
 
<0063> Chạm vào mui xe, tôi xem xét kỹ vết lõm.
// Touching the hood of the car, I examined the dent.
 
<0064> \{\m{B}} "Hình như do một con mèo."
// \{\m{B}} "It looks like a cat."
 
<0065> \{Người Đàn Ông} "........."
// \{Man} "........."
 
<0066> \{Người Thợ} "... Là sao?"
// \{Worker} "... What does?"
 
<0067> Người thợ hỏi.
// The worker asks.
 
<0068> \{\m{B}} "Vết lõm. Nhìn ở góc này trông như dấu chân."
// \{\m{B}} "This dent here. The corners look like they've got footprints."
 
<0069> \{\m{B}} "Có khi nào nó nhảy từ bờ tường đằng kia?"
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe it jumped from this wall over here?"
 
<0070> \{Người Đàn Ông} "........."
// \{Man} "........."
 
<0071> Họ quay sang nhìn nhau.
// The two men exchange glances.
 
<0072> Người thợ tiến lại gần tôi và nhìn theo cùng một góc.
// The worker came over next to me and looked in the same way.
 
<0073> \{Người Thợ} "... Cậu nói đúng."
// \{Worker} "... You're right."
 
<0074> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Sao...?"
// \{Man} "What...?"
 
<0075> Ngay sau đó, người kia cũng đến cạnh tôi để xem xét.
// After that, the young man stood beside me, narrowing his eyes.
 
<0076> \{Người Đàn Ông} "... A, đúng thế thật..."
// \{Man} "... Hey, you're right..."
 
<0077> Người thợ vỗ vỗ vào vai người đàn ông kia.
// The worker softly slapped the man's shoulder.
 
<0078> \{Người Thợ} "À, thì ra sự việc là như vậy."
// \{Worker} "Well, these things happen."
 
<0079> \{Người Đàn Ông} "Haha... xin lỗi đã đổ oan cho anh..."
// \{Man} "Haha... sorry for falsely accusing you..."
 
<0080> Như muốn rời khỏi đây thật nhanh, người đàn ông chui tọt vào xe phóng đi.
// As if in a hurry to get away, the man jumped into his car and sped off.
 
<0081> \{\m{B}} "........."
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<0082> \{Người Thợ} "Hừ..."
// \{Worker} "Whew..."
 
<0083> Thở dài, người thợ nhìn vào chiếc đồng hồ đeo tay.
// Taking a deep breath, the worker glanced at his watch.
 
<0084> \{Người Thợ} "Hừm... không hay rồi..."
// \{Worker} "Hm... this is bad..."
 
<0085> \{Người Thợ} "Cậu dành chút thời gian được không?"
// \{Worker} "Got a minute?"
 
<0086> Anh ta nhìn tôi và hỏi.
// He asked, looking at me.
 
<0087> \{\m{B}} "Hả? A..."
// \{\m{B}} "Huh? Well..."
 
<0088> \{Người Thợ} "Lại đây, giúp tôi một tay."
// \{Worker} "Come on, help me out here."
 
<0089> \{\m{B}} "Việc gì?"
// \{\m{B}} "With?"
 
<0090> \{Người Thợ} "Chỉnh sửa lại một cột đèn nữa."
// \{Worker} "Setting up one more street light."
 
<0091> \{\m{B}} "Hả? Sao lại là tôi?"
// \{\m{B}} "Huh? Why me?"
 
<0092> \{Người Thợ} "Tôi bị chậm tiến độ. Mà cậu còn trẻ, nên chắc thể lực còn sung mãn, phải không?"
// \{Worker} "I'm out of time. Besides, you're young. You should be full of energy, right?"
 
<0093> \{Người Thợ} "Tôi sẽ trả công. Cậu có thể gọi đó là tiền tiêu vặt."
// \{Worker} "I'll pay you, too. You can call it pocket money."
 
<0094> Giúp đỡ
// Help out
 
<0095> Từ chối
// Refuse
 
<0096> \{\m{B}} "Đấy không phải ý của tôi. Sao tự nhiên anh lại nhờ đến một kẻ không chuyên như tôi."
// \{\m{B}} "That's not what I meant. I'm talking about suddenly asking an amateur."
 
<0097> \{\m{B}} "Anh nghĩ có người làm thế ngay sau khi anh nhờ sao?"
// \{\m{B}} "You think someone can just do it if you ask them out of the blue?"
 
<0098> \{Người Thợ} "Tôi đang làm một việc khó khăn."
// \{Worker} "I'll do the hard stuff."
 
<0099> \{\m{B}} "Dù vậy... tôi nghĩ anh cũng là người thông minh."
// \{\m{B}} "Even so... I think you're a bit short on common sense."
 
<0100> \{Người Thợ} "Ừm... a, tôi xin cậu đây."
// \{Worker} "I see... well, I'm not gonna beg you."
 
<0101> Chắc anh ta đã nhận được lời gợi ý rồi.
// I guess he got the hint.
 
<0102> \{\m{B}} "Thôi, tôi đi đây."
// \{\m{B}} "Then, I'll be off."
 
<0103> \{Người Thợ} "Ừ. Cảm ơn chuyện vừa nãy."
// \{Worker} "Yeah. Thanks for earlier."
 
<0104> Nhận lời cảm ơn xong, tôi rời khỏi đó.
// Hearing his words of gratitude, I got out of there.
 
<0105> \{\m{B}} "Tôi không phải thợ lành nghề, nhưng... mà, cũng chẳng sao."
// \{\m{B}} "I'm not really a maintenance worker, but... well, whatever."
 
<0106> Chắc tôi sẽ giúp anh ta một tay.
// I guess I'll help him out.
 
<0107> \{\m{B}} "Nhưng, tôi không sửa được gì đâu, tôi chỉ hỗ trợ anh thôi."
// \{\m{B}} "But, I won't be fixing anything, just helping you to set up."
 
<0108> \{Người Thợ} "Ừm."
// \{Worker} "Okay."
 
<0109> Con đường quen thuộc mà tôi vẫn thường đi qua.
// The familiar road that I commuted on for so long.
 
<0110> Tôi cảm thấy hơi khó chịu khi chính mình đang thay đổi nó dù chỉ một chút.
// I felt a little uncomfortable about it being changed in any way.
 
<0111> \{\m{B}} "Trước tiên, tôi không biết có nên để mọi đèn đường bật sáng không...?"
// \{\m{B}} "First of all, I wonder if there should be any street lights at all...?"
 
<0112> Tôi vừa dứt lời, người thợ nhìn tôi với vẻ mặt khó hiểu.
// Saying that, the worker had a puzzled look on his face.
 
<0113> \{Người Thợ} "Như thế sẽ an toàn hơn."
// \{Worker} "It's much safer that way."
 
<0114> \{Người Thợ} "Khu vực quanh đây sẽ trở nên tối đen khi vào mặt trời lặn."
// \{Worker} "The area around here becomes pitch black when it gets late."
 
<0115> \{\m{B}} "Cũng đúng."
// \{\m{B}} "I guess so."
 
<0116> \{Người Thợ} "Đây là nơi mọi người sống, họ đều là những người tốt."
// \{Worker} "It's where people live, so they should look good."
 
<0117> \{\m{B}} "Thế không khó chịu sao?"
// \{\m{B}} "It's not oppressive, is it?"
 
<0118> \{Người Thợ} "Lại một câu hỏi kỳ cục."
// \{Worker} "More strange words."
 
<0119> \{Người Thợ} "Con đường dành cho mọi người, phải không?"
// \{Worker} "This road's for people, isn't it?"
 
<0120> \{\m{B}} "Chắn... chắn rồi."
// \{\m{B}} "I guess so... sure."
 
<0121> \{Người Thợ} "Vậy, cậu không định giúp nữa à?"
// \{Worker} "Then, you're going to stop helping?"
 
<0122> \{\m{B}} "Không, tôi sẽ giúp."
// \{\m{B}} "No, I'll help."
 
<0123> Trước hết, tôi không phải kiểu người quan tâm đến điều như thế.
// First of all, I'm not the kind of person who should even care about something like this.
 
<0124> \{Người Thợ} "Được rồi. Nào, bắt đầu công việc thôi."
// \{Worker} "All right. Then, let's get started."
 
<0125> .........
// .........
<0126> ......
// ......
 
<0127> ...
// ...
 
<0128> \{Người Thợ} "Làm tốt lắm. Cảm ơn sự giúp đỡ."
// \{Worker} "Good work. Thanks for helping me out."
 
<0129> ... Tôi không thể nâng được cánh tay.
// ... I can't lift my arm.
 
<0130> Vậy là suốt khoảng thời gian tôi hỗ trợ anh ta lúc trên cột đèn, đều dùng tay bên kia.
// Because I've been supporting him this whole time against the street light.
 
<0131> Chiếc thang cứ rung rinh khi anh ta ở trên nó.
// On the other hand, the ladder was unstable just from him being on it.
 
<0132> Bắp đùi thì căng cứng, bắp chân thì đau nhức.
// My thighs are tense, and my calves hurt too.
 
<0133> Tôi ngồi xuống nền đất, cố bắt lại nhịp thở.
// I sat down on the ground, trying to catch my breath.
 
<0134> Tôi luôn tự hào về thể lực của mình, nhưng trông tôi thế này thì chẳng thể nói vậy được.
// I was confident in my strength but, I couldn't say the same for how I looked.
 
<0135> \{\m{B}} "Không phải việc hỗ trợ này là dành cho hai người làm sao?!"
// \{\m{B}} "Isn't this supposed to be a job for two people?!"
 
<0136> Tôi thở hổn hển trong khi nói.
// I was gasping for air as I spat that out.
 
<0137> \{Người Thợ} "Lần đầu cậu làm việc à? Vậy, đừng làm quá sức."
// \{Worker} "This your first time working? Then, don't push yourself."
 
<0138> \{Người Thợ} "Công việc cũng chẳng có gì, nó rất bình thường."
// \{Worker} "No matter what work there is, this much is normal."
 
<0139> Người đàn ông nói trơn tru, trái ngược hẳn với tôi, người đang lý ra phải xử lý công việc này mà không vấn đề gì.
// The man said that cooly, in contrast to me, who should have been able to handle this job with no problem.
 
<0140> Hơn thế nữa, Tôi đã nhận ra.
// More than that, I had realized.
 
<0141> Nhận ra rằng cuộc sống của mình thật dễ chịu và thảnh thơi.
// I realized how easy and carefree my life has been.
 
<0142> Đúng thật là hơi ngốc nghếch khi miễn cưỡng nghĩ đến điều nhỏ bé như vậy.
// Certainly it was quite stupid to be reluctantly thinking of such small things.
 
<0143> Tự nhấn mình vào dòng chảy của xã hội, có nghĩa những ngày trôi qua rồi cũng sẽ như thế, phải không?
// Throwing myself into society would mean that these kinds of days would be like this, wouldn't it?
 
<0144> Dù đó là điều tôi hình dung trước đây... nhưng giờ nó còn khó hình dung hơn thế.
// Though that's what I imagined before... it was tougher than what I imagined.
 
<0145> Tuy anh ta trông cũng chẳng hơn tuổi tôi là mấy.
// However, this guy doesn't seem that much older than me.
 
<0146> Nhưng đối với anh ta, người vừa nhún vai và nói "nó rất bình thường" một cách thản nhiên. Thật lòng, tôi hơi sốc.
// For this guy to shrug it off, casually saying "this is normal," well, I was shocked.
 
<0147> \{Người Thợ} "Sao mặt cậu trông rầu rĩ vậy?"
// \{Worker} "What's with that gloomy expression?"
 
<0148> \{\m{B}} "Không có gì..."
// \{\m{B}} "N-nothing..."
 
<0149> \{Người Thợ} "Mà, cậu cũng khá hữu ích đấy chứ."
// \{Worker} "But, you were pretty helpful."
 
<0150> Anh ta vỗ vỗ vai tôi.
// Not worrying about it at all, he patted my shoulder.
 
<0151> \{Người Thợ} "Cậu thật sự đã dành thời gian để làm cùng người khác. Cậu vừa được tăng cường thể lực đấy."
// \{Worker} "You really take your time when you work with others. You've got some strength there."
 
<0152> \{\m{B}} "Ừm."
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
 
<0153> Điều đó cũng chẳng giúp được ai cả.
// That wouldn't help anyone.
 
<0154> \{Người Thợ} "Phù... chỉ còn hai cột nữa là xong việc hôm nay..."
// \{Worker} "Whew... only two more for today..."
 
<0155> Nói xong, người đàn ông nhìn quanh.
// Saying that, the man looked around.
 
<0156> Không thể tin được. Thậm chí sau tất cả công việc vừa rồi, anh ta vẫn còn hai điểm cần đến sửa nữa sao?
// I can't believe it. Even after all that work just now, this guy's ready for a second round?
 
<0157> Thêm nữa, chuyện như sáng nay có thể sẽ lại xảy ra.
// On top of that, the same thing that happened this morning might happen again.
 
<0158> \{Người Thợ} "Giờ tôi sẽ đến một điểm nữa và quay lại trả công cho cậu."
// \{Worker} "After this, I'll make another round and come back. I'll pay you then."
 
<0159> \{\m{B}} "Haa..."
// \{\m{B}} "Sigh..."
 
<0160> \{Người Thợ} "Xin lỗi bắt cậu phải đợi."
// \{Worker} "Sorry to keep you waiting."
 
<0161> \{\m{B}} "Không sao. Đằng nào anh cũng quay lại mà."
// \{\m{B}} "Not at all. You did come back, at least."
 
<0162> \{Người Thợ} "Đây là tiền công của cậu. Xin lỗi, tôi chỉ có thể đưa cậu nửa tiền."
// \{Worker} "Here's your pay. Sorry, I can only give you half."
 
<0163> \{Người Thợ} "Dù cậu không làm việc cả ngày, nhưng tôi đã bảo là cậu rất được việc."
// \{Worker} "Even though you didn't work a full day, I did ask if you could go around."
 
<0164> Người đàn ông tặng tôi chiếc phong bì màu
// The man presented me with a gray envelope.
 
<0165> Có tên công ty được viết bên dưới.
// It appears that the company's name is written below.
 
<0166> Với cánh tay vẫn còn nhức, tôi mở phong bì ra. Roạt, Soạt, Soạt...
// With my arm still smarting, I opened the envelope. Ruffle, ruffle, ruffle...
 
<0167> \{\m{B}} "Này, không nhầm đấy chứ?"
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, this isn't a mistake, is it?"
 
<0168> \{Người Thợ} "Hửm? Tôi không nghĩ vậy."
// \{Worker} "Hmm? I don't think so."
 
<0169> Tôi đưa phong bì cho người đàn ông coi.
// I handed over the envelope so the man could take a look.
 
<0170> \{Người Thợ} "Không nhầm đâu. Hay từng ý không đủ?"
// \{Worker} "No mistake at all. Isn't it enough?"
 
<0171> Ngược lại là đằng khác. Tôi nghĩ nó quá nhiều.
// On the contrary. I think this is \btoo\u much.
 
<0172> Trước đó anh ta nói gì nhỉ, đây chỉ là một nửa.
// From what he said earlier, this was half of what it would have been.
 
<0173> Nếu đủ tiền công là bao nhỉ?
// What if it had been the full amount?
 
<0174> Với số tiền nhiều thế này, tôi có thể tự do mua đồ ăn một cách thoải mái...
// With that much money, I could cover my own food expenses with ease...
 
<0175> Cách nghĩ đó thật trẻ con.
// But, that's naive thinking.
 
<0176> Với kẻ chán nản và vô dụng như mình, công việc này chẳng phù hợp tí nào.
// Someone with a cold and worthless personality like mine isn't suited for this job.
 
<0177> Không còn nghi nghờ gì nữa, tôi nhanh chóng chán ghét hiện thực và muốn thoát khỏi nó.
// Without a doubt, I'd be hated real fast, and thrown out.
 
<0178> Vậy chính xác mình định sống ở đâu...?
// Then exactly where am I going to be...?
 
<0179> Tôi lắc đầu.
// I shook my head.
 
<0180> Tôi chưa từng nghĩ về nó cho đến lúc nãy.
// I hadn't given that a thought until just now.
 
<0181> Hừ, chắc chắn việc gì đến cũng sẽ đến.
// Well, I'm sure whatever happens, happens.
 
<0182> Từ giờ, tôi sẽ cố gắng sống thật thoải mái...
// For now, I'll just try to enjoy myself...
 
<0183> \{Người Thợ} "Phải rồi, tôi vẫn chưa tự giới thiệu."
// \{Worker} "Speaking of that, I haven't introduced myself yet."
 
<0184> \{Người Thợ} "Đây, danh thiếp của tôi."
// \{Worker} "Here, I'll give you my business card."
 
<0185> \{Người Thợ} "Tên tôi là Yoshino."
// \{Worker} "The name's Yoshino."
 
<0186> \{\m{B}} "Tôi là \m{A}."
// \{\m{B}} "I'm \m{A}."
 
<0187> Tôi nhận tấm các. Trên đó ghi tên của công ty điện lực và cái tên "Yoshino Yuusuke".
// I take his business card. Written on it is the electrician company's name, and the name "Yoshino Yuusuke".
 
<0188> \{Người Thợ} "À, tôi đang vội nên tôi đi đây."
// \{Worker} "Well, I've got to hurry up and get out of here."
 
<0189> Thu dọn đồ đạc xong, anh ta đi thẳng đến chiếc xe đang đậu ở bên đường.
// Picking up his things, he made his way to the truck parked by the side of the road.
 
<0190> Vào trong xe, anh ta vẫy tay chào tôi và bỏ đi để lại tiếng gầm rú đều đều của động cơ.
// Getting inside, he waved his hand at me, and left with the dull roar of the engine.
 
<0191> \{\m{B}} "........."
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<0192> Tôi nhìn lại cái các trên tay mình.
// Once again I returned my gaze to the business card in my hand.
 
<0193> \{\m{B}} (... Yoshino Yuusuke.)
// \{\m{B}} (... Yoshino Yuusuke.)
 
<0194> \{\m{B}} (Mình đã nghe cái tên này ở đâu đó rồi...)
// \{\m{B}} (Where have I heard this name before...)
 
<0195> Chính xác là ở đâu?
// Where, exactly?
 
<0196> Không nhớ nữa.
// I can't place it.
 
<0197> \{\m{B}} (Có lẽ mình nên hỏi Sunohara...)
// \{\m{B}} (Maybe I'll go ask Sunohara...)
 
<0198> \{\m{B}} "Tớ đã nghe cái tên ở đâu rồi nhỉ?"
// \{\m{B}} "Where have I heard this guy's name before?"
 
<0199> Khi ngồi xuống, Tôi lập tức đề cập đến chuyện người thợ.
// As I laid down, I immediately mentioned the workman.
 
<0200> \{Sunohara} "À, thị trấn này khá nhỏ, gặp phải người quen cũng chẳng có gì lạ."
// \{Sunohara} "Well, it's a small city, so running into someone isn't all that strange."
 
<0201> \{\m{B}} "Không, tớ không nhớ mặt, mà là cái tên kìa..."
// \{\m{B}} "No, it's not the face I remember, it's the name..."
 
<0202> \{Sunohara} "Hả, cái tên thế nào?"
// \{Sunohara} "Huh, what name?"
 
<0203> \{\m{B}} "Ừmm... Tớ quên rồi."
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... I forgot."
 
<0204> \{Sunohara} "Cố nhớ xem, hừ. Coi nào, cậu nhận được tấm danh thiếp của anh ta, phải không?"
// \{Sunohara} "Remember it, man. Come on, you've got his business card, right?"
 
<0205> \{\m{B}} "Ừm, đúng."
// \{\m{B}} "I have it."
 
<0206> \{Sunohara} "Lấy ra đây."
// \{Sunohara} "Get it out."
 
<0207> \{\m{B}} "Cậu lấy ra đi."
// \{\m{B}} "You get it out."
 
<0208> \{Sunohara} "Từ đâu?"
// \{Sunohara} "From where?"
 
<0209> \{\m{B}} "Trong túi của tớ."
// \{\m{B}} "From my pocket."
 
<0210> \{Sunohara} "Đúng là thằng đại lãn!"
// \{Sunohara} "You're a mega-slouch, you know!"
 
<0211> \{\m{B}} "Được rồi..."
// \{\m{B}} "All right..."
 
<0212> Rút ví ra, tôi lôi tấm danh thiếp cùng vài tờ tiền.
// Taking out my wallet, I take out the business card along with some paper money.
 
<0213> \{\m{B}} "Aaa... nó đây. Yoshino... Yuusuke."
// \{\m{B}} "Ahh... here it is. Yoshino... Yuusuke."
 
<0214> \{Sunohara} "Yoshino... Yuusuke?"
// \{Sunohara} "Yoshino... Yuusuke?"
 
<0215> \{\m{B}} "Ừ, nó đề ngay ở đây."
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, it's right here."
 
<0216> Giật mạnh tấm các từ tay tôi, cậu ta nhìn như muốn ngấu nghiến nó.
// Violently snatching the card from my hand, he looked at it as if he was going to devour it.
 
<0217> \{Sunohara} "Anh ấy trông như thế nào?"
// \{Sunohara} "What did he look like?"
 
<0218> \{\m{B}} "Hả? Trông như thế nào à? Ánh mắt anh ta khá sắc... à, trông cũng khá bảnh trai..."
// \{\m{B}} "Huh? When you ask what he looked like, the look in his eyes seemed scary... well, I guess he was good looking..."
 
<0219> \{Sunohara} "Gì nữa?"
// \{Sunohara} "Anything else?"
 
<0220> \{\m{B}} "Về sau... anh ta còn tuôn ra một tràng triết lý."
// \{\m{B}} "Afterwards... he magnificently said some really cool words."
 
<0221> \{\m{B}} "Kiểu như, 'Bạn có thể sống cuộn mình trong cái kén của sự hẹp hòi đó?' hay, 'Thật lòng, liệu bạn có cười được trên nỗi đau ấy không?!'"
// \{\m{B}} "Something like, 'You couldn't live on in such servility, could you?' or, 'Could you seriously laugh?'"
 
<0222> \{Sunohara} "Guaaa!"
// \{Sunohara} "Guaah!"
 
<0223> \{Sunohara} "Anh ấy là một MC huyền thoại. Đúng thật vậy rồi..."
// \{Sunohara} "He's the legendary MC. The real McCoy..."
 
<0224> \{Sunohara} "Vậy, giờ anh ấy đang làm việc như một thợ điện à...?"
// \{Sunohara} "So, what, he's working as an electrician right now...?"
 
<0225> \{\m{B}} "Cậu nói 'giờ' là ý gì? Thế trước đây anh ta làm gì?"
// \{\m{B}} "What do you mean by 'now?' What was he before?"
 
<0226> \{Sunohara} "Anh ấy là một ca sĩ chuyên nghiệp, chuyên phát hành CD nhạc."
// \{Sunohara} "That dude was a professional musician, putting out CDs."
 
<0227> \{\m{B}} "Thật chứ...?"
// \{\m{B}} "Seriously...?"
 
<0228> \{Sunohara} "Ừ. Nghe như anh ấy rất có sức hút phải không? Dù chưa một lần lên TV, đĩa nhạc vẫn được bán chạy."
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah. It's like he's got charisma, right? Even though he didn't appear on TV, they sold well."
 
<0229> \{Sunohara} "Có thể cậu nghe được cái tên trên sóng phát thanh?"
// \{Sunohara} "Maybe you've heard him on the radio?"
 
<0230> \{\m{B}} "Chắc vậy rồi..."
// \{\m{B}} "Probably..."
 
<0231> \{Sunohara} "Hình như tớ cũng có một cuộn băng. Muốn nghe thử không?"
// \{Sunohara} "I bet, I'll find a tape. Want to hear it?"
 
<0232> \{\m{B}} "Ừm..."
// \{\m{B}} "Sure..."
 
<0233> Lục lọi trong hộp các-tông, Sunohara lấy ra một cuộn băng cát-xét.
// Digging in the bottom of a cardboard box, Sunohara brings out a single cassette tape.
 
<0234> \{Sunohara} "Em gái tớ thích cái này lắm."
// \{Sunohara} "My sister loves this."
 
<0235> \{\m{B}} "Em gái?!"
// \{\m{B}} "Your sister?!"
 
<0236> \{Sunohara} "Ừm, em gái. Tớ chưa từng kể cho cậu sao?"
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, my sister. Didn't I tell you I had one?"
 
<0237> \{\m{B}} "Cậu chưa bao giờ... kể cho tớ, chán thật!"
// \{\m{B}} "You never did... tell me everything, damn it!"
 
<0238> \{Sunohara} "Đợi đã, đừng có đổi chủ đề, được chứ?"
// \{Sunohara} "Wait, don't change the subject, okay?"
 
<0239> \{\m{B}} "Ừ... được rồi."
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... right."
 
<0240> Vậy là, Sunohara có em gái. Có lẽ cô ta sẽ trông như quỷ.
// First of all, it's Sunohara's sister. She's got to be some kind of ghost.
 
<0241> Nghĩ đến đó, tôi chợt mất hứng.
// Thinking that, my interest suddenly fades.
 
<0242> \{Sunohara} "Đây, nghe đi."
// \{Sunohara} "Here, listen to this."
 
<0243> \{\m{B}} "Ừm."
// \{\m{B}} "Okay."
 
<0244> Thay cuộn băng ở trong máy cát-xét, sau đó tôi đeo tai nghe và ấn nút Play.
// Placing the tape into the recorder, I put on some headphones and push play.
 
<0245> \{\m{B}} "........."
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<0246> Cô em gái mà tôi cho là giống quỷ lại thích thể loại nhạc rock tầm thường này.
// The sister that I had just referred to as a ghost, liked normal rock it seems.
 
<0247> Không, không hề tầm thường. Thực sự nó khá hay.
// No, this wasn't just normal. It was actually pretty good.
 
<0248> Không, không chỉ hay. Phải nói là cực kỳ hay.
// No, it wasn't merely \bpretty\u good. It was \bdamn\u good.
 
<0249> Đến khi tôi nghe được phần lời, thứ âm nhạc quyến rũ này khiến tôi gần rớt nước mắt.
// From what I could hear of the lyrics, despite the overpowering music, it almost brought me to tears.
 
<0250> Nó là gì vậy...?
// What is this...?
 
<0251> Là một dạng tình ca chăng?
// Is this some sort of sympathy?
 
<0252> Tôi bỏ tai nghe ra.
// I take off the headphones.
 
<0253> \{Sunohara} "Khá hay đấy chứ?"
// \{Sunohara} "It's pretty good, isn't it?"
 
<0254> \{\m{B}} "Ừm... vậy đây là người đàn ông mà nó luôn thèm khát được sở hữu, tệ thật..."
// \{\m{B}} "I see... so this is the man she heard and yearns to possess so badly..."
 
<0255> \{Sunohara} "Cậu nói ai vậy?"
// \{Sunohara} "Who you talking about?"
 
<0256> \{\m{B}} "Em gái cậu."
// \{\m{B}} "Your sister."
 
<0257> \{Sunohara} "Này, em ấy là người cơ mà!"
// \{Sunohara} "Hey, she's a human being, you know!"
 
<0258> \{\m{B}} "Xin lỗi, tớ tưởng tượng hơi quá, thành ra em cậu trở thành quỷ rồi."
// \{\m{B}} "Sorry, my imagination went too far, and your sister became a ghost."
 
<0259> \{Sunohara} "Thế là quá xa chứ hơi gì..."
// \{Sunohara} "That's \bway\u too far..."
 
<0260> \{Sunohara} "Vậy, ca khúc thế nào?"
// \{Sunohara} "So, how's the music?"
 
<0261> \{\m{B}} "Tuyệt."
// \{\m{B}} "It's great."
 
<0262> \{Sunohara} "Rất đặc sắc, phải không?"
// \{Sunohara} "Stylish, ain't it?"
 
<0263> \{Sunohara} "Dù em gái tớ thích nó, nhưng khi nghe, tớ không thấy tệ chút nào..."
// \{Sunohara} "Even though my sister likes it, when I heard it too I couldn't think of it as bad..."
 
<0264> \{Sunohara} "À, so với Bomb A Head, cái này chẳng là gì."
// \{Sunohara} "Well, compared to Bomb A Head, it's nothing."
 
<0265> \{Sunohara} "Đây là Tuyển Tập Ca Khúc em gái tớ tặng."
// \{Sunohara} "This is the Best Compilation tape my sister's ever given me."
 
<0266> Xì, xèo, xì xèo...
// Swivel, swivel..
 
<0267> \{\m{B}} "Hửm? Cuộn băng của cậu phát ra âm thanh lạ."
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm? Your tape's making a weird sound."
 
<0268> \{\m{B}} "A trông này,nó quấn vào nhau và quay tròn ở trong này."
// \{\m{B}} "Oh look, it's tangling up and spinning around."
 
<0269> \{Sunohara} "Hả?"
// \{Sunohara} "What?"
 
<0270> \{\m{B}} "Tớ sẽ thử lôi nó ra."
// \{\m{B}} "I'll try taking it out."
 
<0271> \{Sunohara} "Làm ơn đừng-------!!"
// \{Sunohara} "Please don't-------!!"
 
<0272> Mở nắp máy cát-xét, tôi túm và giật mạnh cuộn băng ra.
// Opening up the cassette door, I grab the tape and yank it out.
 
<0273> Ro, ro, ro-----!
// Whirl, whirl, whirl-----!
 
<0274> Trông như mớ tảo biển bị xào qua xào lại, một bên của cuộn băng vẫn quay tròn.
// Like seaweed being tossed about, one side of the tape dances around.
 
<0275> \{Sunohara} "KHÔNGGGGGG----! Tuyển Tập Ca Khúc của em gái tôi------!"
// \{Sunohara} "NOOOOOO----! My sister's Best Compilation------!"
 
<0276> \{Sunohara} "Sao lại thành ra thế này-----?!"
// \{Sunohara} "How did it come to this-----?!"
 
<0277> \{\m{B}} "A, bình tĩnh nào. Không phải anh ấy vẫn còn ở trong thị trấn sao?"
// \{\m{B}} "Well, calm down. The real dude's here in this city, right?"
 
<0278> \{Sunohara} "Vậy... thì sao chứ?!"
// \{Sunohara} "And...what?!"
 
<0279> \{\m{B}} "Cậu cứ thư giãn đầu óc đi, được không?"
// \{\m{B}} "You can have peace of mind?"
 
<0280> \{Sunohara} "Tất nhiên là không!"
// \{Sunohara} "Hell no!"
 
<0281> \{Sunohara} "Chết tiệt, tớ sẽ phá hỏng thứ quan trọng của cậu!"
// \{Sunohara} "Damn it, I'll break something important of yours!"
 
<0282> \{Sunohara} "Cậu sưu tầm thể loại 'Tuyển Tập' gì?! Tuyển Tập Khiêu Dâm chứ gì--?! Vậy sẽ bắt đầu với bản mẫu của Tuyển Tập Khiêu Dâm--?!"
// \{Sunohara} "What kind of 'Best of' compilation you got?! Best of Erotics--?! A Best of Erotics with an interview compilation at the beginning--?!"
 
<0283> \{\m{B}} "Nào, nào, bình tĩnh đi. Tớ đâu có sưu tập mấy thứ vô nghĩa đó."
// \{\m{B}} "Now, now, take it easy. I wouldn't compile such meaningless stuff anyway."
 
<0284> \{\m{B}} "Nghe này, anh ấy vẫn ở trong thị trấn, vậy ta có thể hỏi mượn đĩa CD. Nó cũng giống như Tuyển Tập Ca Khúc vậy, phải không?"
// \{\m{B}} "Come on, the real dude's in this city, so we could borrow a CD. Borrowing that's the same thing as getting a Best Compilation, isn't it?"
 
<0285> \{Sunohara} "Mượn CD từ anh ấy...?"
// \{Sunohara} "Borrow a CD from the man himself...?"
 
<0286> \{\m{B}} "Ừ. Chính là anh ấy đấy, được không?"
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah. He should have one himself, right?"
 
<0287> \{Sunohara} "À, dĩ nhiên anh ấy sẽ không..."
// \{Sunohara} "Well, of course he wouldn't..."
 
<0288> \{Sunohara} "Mà, mượn nó từ một người nổi tiếng như thế thật quá tuyệt... đúng là chuyện ngàn năm có một..."
// \{Sunohara} "But, borrowing it from the real guy would be pretty damn cool... that's a blind spot..."
 
<0289> \{\m{B}} "Ừ, nhưng có một người như thế ở trong khu vực này... nghĩ cũng thú vị thật."
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, but the real guy's around... it's like something cool will come of it."
 
<0290> \{Sunohara} "Nếu chúng ta xin được chữ ký của anh ấy, chắc em tớ sẽ phải hét lên vì vui sướng!"
// \{Sunohara} "If we can get his autograph too, my sister's gonna scream!"
 
<0291> \{\m{B}} "Ừ, không phải chuyện chơi. Vậy lên đường thôi."
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, no kidding. So let's do it."
 
<0292> \{Sunohara} "... Câu là kẻ chuyên xỏ lá, sao tin được?"
// \{Sunohara} "... You're quite deceptive, you know that?"
 
<0293> \{\m{B}} "Làm gì có. Tại tớ cũng muốn nghe giọng hét vui sướng của em gái cậu."
// \{\m{B}} "Not at all. I'd also like to hear your sister's delighted voice as well."
 
<0294> \{\m{B}} "Nó chắc chắn phải thế này, 'KEKEEE-----E!'"
// \{\m{B}} "Probably goes something like this, 'KEKEEE-----H!'"
 
<0295> \{Sunohara} "Em ấy không phải hét như thế!"
// \{Sunohara} "She wouldn't be delighted like that!"
 
<0296> \{\m{B}} "Nào, đi tìm anh ấy thôi. Có thể vẫn ở khu vực quanh đây."
// \{\m{B}} "Come on, let's go find him right now. He might still be around."
 
<0297> \{Sunohara} "Hừ... được rồi, Tớ sẽ tin cậu lần này."
// \{Sunohara} "Geez... all right, I'm really counting on you."
 
<0298> Cậu ta nhanh chóng nhảy khỏi giường.
// He wasted little time, getting up quickly.
 
<0299> \{Sunohara} "Tớ chợt chớ ra..."
// \{Sunohara} "I just remembered something..."
 
<0300> Sunohara đột nhiên dừng lại khi chúng tôi đang rời khỏi ký túc xá.
// As we were leaving the dormitory, Sunohara suddenly stopped himself.
 
<0301> \{\m{B}} "Hửm? Gì thế?"
// \{\m{B}} "Hm? What's that?"
 
<0302> \{Sunohara} "Thật tệ nếu đến và hỏi thẳng anh ấy về đĩa nhạc như thế..."
// \{Sunohara} "Something about asking the man himself about his music might be bad..."
 
<0303> \{\m{B}} "Tại sao?"
// \{\m{B}} "Why?"
 
<0304> \{Sunohara} "Vì anh ấy chắc chắn đã rời con đường âm nhạc rồi..."
// \{Sunohara} "Because he's obviously not working on his music any more..."
 
<0305> \{Sunohara} "Cuối cùng, tớ còn nghe được thông tin anh ấy đang trong tình trạng bị hoảng loạn."
// \{Sunohara} "And in the end, I heard he had some real crazy situation."
 
<0306> \{Sunohara} "Nếu bị nhiều người hâm mộ vây quanh vào lúc này, nhất định anh ấy sẽ ko nói chuyện..."
// \{Sunohara} "If there are fans around him that know about that time, he definitely won't talk..."
 
<0307> \{\m{B}} "Nhưng, chúng ta đâu phải người hâm mộ."
// \{\m{B}} "But, we're not fans."
 
<0308> \{Sunohara} "Cậu không lo sao..."
// \{Sunohara} "You know no fear, do you..."
 
<0309> \{\m{B}} "Đúng ra là, dù tớ thấy mình ở trong bất cứ hoàn cảnh nào tớ cũng không lo."
// \{\m{B}} "Or rather, no matter what kind of situation I find myself in, I know no fear."
 
<0310> \{Sunohara} "Có thể đúng với cậu, nhưng tớ vẫn thấy rất lo lắng..."
// \{Sunohara} "That might be true for you, but I'm pretty damn worried..."
 
<0311> \{\m{B}} "Tại sao?"
// \{\m{B}} "Why?"
 
<0312> \{Sunohara} "Vì tớ phải xin được chữ ký của anh ấy..."
// \{Sunohara} "Because I have to get his autograph..."
 
<0313> \{\m{B}} "Cậu có mối quan hệ khác với em gái à?"
// \{\m{B}} "You have a sister complex, don't you?"
 
<0314> \{Sunohara} "Không phải thế! Tớ chỉ muốn em ấy vui thôi!"
// \{Sunohara} "That's not it! I'd just be doing her a favor!"
 
<0315> \{Sunohara} "Chẳng phải sau này chữ ký cũng có giá sao?"
// \{Sunohara} "It might be useful later too, right?"
 
<0316> \{\m{B}} "À, nếu cậu nói vậy rồi, thì thực hiện thôi."
// \{\m{B}} "Well, when you put it that way, you should just do it."
 
<0317> \{Sunohara} "Bởi vậy, nghe này. Đừng áp đặt suy nghĩ vào tớ."
// \{Sunohara} "That's why, see. Stop trying to put me down."
 
<0318> \{\m{B}} "Vậy, cậu định làm gì?"
// \{\m{B}} "Then, what are you going to do?"
 
<0319> \{Sunohara} "Làm ra vẻ chúng ta cũng rất giỏi."
// \{Sunohara} "Make it look like we're real cool."
 
<0320> \{\m{B}} "Sao cậu làm được vậy chứ?"
// \{\m{B}} "And how are you going to do that?"
 
<0321> \{Sunohara} "Nghe này... hãy nói chúng ta đang thành lập ban nhạc, sau đó xem phản ứng của anh ấy thế nào."
// \{Sunohara} "Let's see... say we're starting up a band, and see how he reacts."
 
<0322> \{Sunohara} "Sau đó tớ sẽ chuyển chủ đề và nhắc đến nó một cách tình cờ, rằng thần tượng của chúng ta là Yoshino Yuusuke."
// \{Sunohara} "I'll get that topic going and casually mention that our favorite artist is Yoshino Yuusuke."
 
<0323> \{Sunohara} "Với xúc cảm có được, anh ấy sẽ tự giới thiệu bản thân."
// \{Sunohara} "There'll be no bad vibes, so he'll just be himself."
 
<0324> \{Sunohara} "'Thật ra, tôi... tên là Yoshino Yuusuke', cậu hiểu không."
// \{Sunohara} "'Actually, I'm... that Yoshino Yuusuke', you see."
 
<0325> \{Sunohara} "Nếu bọn mình làm như thế, chắc chắn tớ sẽ xin được chữ ký."
// \{Sunohara} "If we do it like that, then I'll get his autograph for sure."
 
<0326> \{\m{B}} "Tớ cho là... ừm, chắc sẽ rất tuyệt nếu kế hoạch thành công."
// \{\m{B}} "I suppose... yeah, it would be cool if it works out."
 
<0327> \{Sunohara} "Vậy cậu sẽ giúp tớ thực hiện kế hoạch chứ."
// \{Sunohara} "So you should help me work on this."
 
<0328> \{Sunohara} "Trước tiên, cậu là người khơi mào câu chuyện sau khi 'hại đời' cuộn băng của tớ."
// \{Sunohara} "You're the one who started this talk in the first place after ruining my tape."
 
<0329> \{\m{B}} "Tớ phải làm gì?"
// \{\m{B}} "And how am I going to do that?"
 
<0330> \{Sunohara} "Tham gia cuộc nói chuyện, và nói cậu cũng định vào ban nhạc."
// \{Sunohara} "Join in the conversation, and say that you're going to be in the band too."
 
<0331> \{\m{B}} "Vậy nhạc cụ tớ sẽ chơi là cái kẻng ba cạnh?"
// \{\m{B}} "So I'll be the one who plays the triangle?"
 
<0332> \{Sunohara} "Thế sao gọi là một ban nhạc."
// \{Sunohara} "That's not very much like a band."
 
<0333> \{\m{B}} "Nếu vậy, tớ sẽ là người viết lời cho ca khúc."
// \{\m{B}} "Then, I'm the guy who comes up with the lyrics for the next song."
 
<0334> \{Sunohara} "Đây không phải dàn đồng ca, nên không cần vị trí đó trong ban nhạc..."
// \{Sunohara} "This isn't an improvisational chorus, so there isn't someone like that in a band..."
 
<0335> \{\m{B}} "Thế, cái nào mới được?"
// \{\m{B}} "Then, what's okay?"
 
<0336> \{Sunohara} "Trống."
// \{Sunohara} "Drums."
 
<0337> \{\m{B}} "Tớ không thể chơi được."
// \{\m{B}} "I can't do that."
 
<0338> \{Sunohara} "Cậu không thể, nhưng cậu đang nói xạo cơ mà, bởi cái đó chỉ cần khi biểu diễn thôi."
// \{Sunohara} "You can't, but you can lie, since this is just for show after all."
 
<0339> \{\m{B}} "Chúng ta đang nói chuyện đó với một người chuyên nghiệp đấy. Nếu bọn mình sơ sẩy, anh ấy có thể nắm thóp được ngay..."
// \{\m{B}} "We're taking this to a professional, you know. We throw that in, and he's likely to catch on..."
 
<0340> \{Sunohara} "Tớ không hẳn là dân nghiệp dư, vậy được chưa."
// \{Sunohara} "I'm not really an amateur, so that's all right."
 
<0341> \{Sunohara} "Dù anh ấy hỏi gì đi nữa, chỉ cần nói là cậu đánh trống giống như chơi trò đập đầu nhấp nhô."
// \{Sunohara} "No matter what he asks, just say that you hit the drums like whacking moles."
 
<0342> \{\m{B}} "Làm thế có thực sự hiệu quả không...?"
// \{\m{B}} "Is that really going to work...?"
 
<0343> \{Sunohara} "Ừ. Và tớ sẽ là một tay ghi-ta."
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah. And I'll be guitar."
 
<0344> \{\m{B}} "Anh ấy cùng chơi ghi-ta, phải không? Nếu cậu định diễn lại trò lúc nãy thì quá tệ đấy."
// \{\m{B}} "He plays guitar too, doesn't he? Wouldn't playing the same thing be bad?"
 
<0345> \{Sunohara} "Ngược lại. Nếu không ai chơi cùng nhạc cụ với anh ấy, câu chuyện sẽ chẳng đi đến đâu cả."
// \{Sunohara} "On the contrary. If we don't play the same instrument, we can't really get a conversation going."
 
<0346> \{\m{B}} "Vậy là anh ấy sẽ nói chuyện với một kẻ mù tịt về ghi-ta...?"
// \{\m{B}} "And would he talk with someone who can't play...?"
 
<0347> \{Sunohara} "Kiểu gì thì kiểu, nó cũng sẽ có hiệu quả. À, còn cậu chỉ cần quan sát thôi."
// \{Sunohara} "One way or the other, it'll work. Well, just you watch."
 
<0348> Khi tôi bằng lòng với câu trả lời đó, chúng tôi lại tiếp tục rảo bước.
// Regaining my willingness, we started to walk.
 
<0349> \{\m{B}} "Lúc nãy tớ còn gặp ở đây."
// \{\m{B}} "We met here earlier."
 
<0350> \{Sunohara} "Không thấy anh ấy ở quanh đây..."
// \{Sunohara} "He's not around..."
 
<0351> \{\m{B}} "Vì anh ấy đi bằng xe ô tô chở hàng mà."
// \{\m{B}} "Because he drove off in a truck."
 
<0352> \{Sunohara} "Vậy, anh ấy không thể ở đây được, phải không?"
// \{Sunohara} "Then, he can't be here, can he?"
 
<0353> \{\m{B}} "Hẳn là vậy..."
// \{\m{B}} "I guess not..."
 
<0354> \{\m{B}} "Không có ở đây."
// \{\m{B}} "Not here."
 
<0355> \{Sunohara} "Chẳng phải đuổi theo một chiếc xe là hơi liều lĩnh sao?"
// \{Sunohara} "Isn't chasing after a vehicle a bit reckless?"
 
<0356> \{\m{B}} "Nhưng anh ấy nói vẫn còn việc để làm, vậy chắc chỉ ở đâu đó trong thị trấn thôi."
// \{\m{B}} "But he said he still had work to do, so he's probably somewhere in the city."
 
<0357> \{Sunohara} "Đâu đó trong thị trấn... là ở đâu...?"
// \{Sunohara} "Somewhere in the city... like where...?"
 
<0358> \{Sunohara} "Thế này khác gì mò kim đáy bể."
// \{Sunohara} "Compared to Where's Walley, this is much harder."
 
<0359> Vậy là chúng tôi đi loanh quanh vài nơi nữa.
// And so we walked around some more.
 
<0360> Sau khi lượn qua lượn lại bến xe ba lần.
// We had passed by the station three times already.
 
<0361> \{Sunohara} "Có lẽ anh ấy rời khỏi đây rồi..."
// \{Sunohara} "I guess he really ain't around..."
 
<0362> \{\m{B}} "Ừ..."
// \{\m{B}} "Well..."
 
<0363> Cho đến giờ, chiếc xe vẫn chưa dừng lại.
// Up until now, the truck hadn't stopped.
 
<0364> Bên kia đường, có người đang làm việc ở đó.
// Looking to the side, there was signs of someone at work.
 
<0365> \{\m{B}} "Kìa."
// \{\m{B}} "There."
 
<0366> \{Sunohara} "Hả... đâu, đâu?"
// \{Sunohara} "Huh... where, where?"
 
<0367> \{\m{B}} "Nào, đi thôi!"
// \{\m{B}} "C'mon, let's go!"
 
<0368> Chúng tôi chạy lại gần chiếc xe.
// We chased after the light truck.
 
<0369> \{Sunohara} "A, có phải cái anh trong bộ đồ bảo hộ?"
// \{Sunohara} "Ah, that guy in work clothes?"
 
<0370> \{\m{B}} "Ừ."
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
 
<0371> \{Sunohara} "Trời ơi, tớ phát điên mất... thật hồi hộp quá!"
// \{Sunohara} "Oh crap, I'm nervous... I'm gonna burst!"
 
<0372> \{\m{B}} "Yo."
// \{\m{B}} "Yo."
 
<0373> Tôi gọi trong khi người thợ vừa cất hết đống đồ dụng cụ vào trong xe.
// I call the workman, who was finishing loading his stuff onto the truck.
 
<0374> \{Yoshino} "... Hửm?"
// \{Yoshino} "... Hmm?"
 
<0375> \{Yoshino} "Ô, là cậu thanh niên lúc nãy tôi đã cảm ơn."
// \{Yoshino} "Oh, it's the guy I thanked earlier."
 
<0376> Anh ấy nhìn tôi rồi trả lời.
// He replied, seeing my face.
 
<0377> \{Sunohara} "Xin chào."
// \{Sunohara} "Yo there."
 
<0378> Sunohara đứng sau tôi và lên tiếng.
// Sunohara peeked out from behind me.
 
<0379> \{Yoshino} "Hửm? Ai đây?"
// \{Yoshino} "Hmm? Who's that?"
 
<0380> \{Sunohara} "Em là bạn của \m{A}-kun, em tên Sunohara."
// \{Sunohara} "I'm \m{A}-kun's friend, Sunohara."
 
<0381> \{Yoshino} "Sao, cậu cũng đến giúp một tay à?"
// \{Yoshino} "What, you came to help too?"
 
<0382> \{Sunohara} "À, thật ra chân em đang bị đau, ái ái da..."
// \{Sunohara} "Well, actually my legs are in pain right now, ow ow ow..."
 
<0383> \{Yoshino} "Thế à... vậy, tốt hơn cậu nên dưỡng thương đi."
// \{Yoshino} "I see... well, you better take care of that."
 
<0384> \{Sunohara} "Nhưng, em khá là thích công việc anh đang làm."
// \{Sunohara} "But, I was kinda interested in the work you were doing here."
 
<0385> \{Yoshino} "Ừmm...?"
// \{Yoshino} "Oh...?"
 
<0386> \{Sunohara} "Và em nghĩ ta có thể nói chuyện một lát. Được không à?"
// \{Sunohara} "And I thought we might talk a bit. Is that fine?"
 
<0387> \{Yoshino} "Ừ, dù sao tôi cũng xong hết việc rồi. Chúng ta có thể nói chuyện ít ra là cho đến lúc mặt trời lặn."
// \{Yoshino} "Well, that's all the work I've got anyway, so we can do that at least until it gets dark."
 
<0388> \{Sunohara} "Hay quá!"
// \{Sunohara} "Okies!"
 
<0389> Xem ra câu chuyện vẫn chưa gặp trở ngại gì.
// Looks like this went off without a hitch.
 
<0390> \{Sunohara} "Chúng em học ở trường dành cho những học sinh muốn vào đại học, nhưng chúng em trốn tiết hơi nhiều. Có thể nói rằng bọn em không phải những học sinh ưu tú."
// \{Sunohara} "We go to a school for people graduating to university, but we kinda skip out on lessons, so you could say we're not really people who're moving on."
 
<0391> Ngồi trên chiếc ghế dài, họ bắt đầu trò chuyện.
// Sitting on a bench, they began to talk.
 
<0392> \{Yoshino} "Hửmm."
// \{Yoshino} "Hmm."
 
<0393> \{Sunohara} "Bởi vậy em đã nghĩ đến một công việc sau khi tốt nghiệp cấp ba..."
// \{Sunohara} "So that's why I was thinking of a job a high school graduate could get..."
 
<0394> \{Yoshino} "À, Nếu là công việc của tôi, nó không đòi hỏi bằng đại học đâu..."
// \{Yoshino} "Well, if it's my job, they don't ask for academic background..."
 
<0395> \{Yoshino} "Nhưng, các cậu vẫn còn một năm nữa, đúng không? Thế không phải quá sớm để từ bỏ con đường vào đại học sao?"
// \{Yoshino} "But, you guys still have a year to go, right? It's a bit too early to give up on university, isn't it?"
 
<0396> Sunohara nhổm hẳn người lên, lắng nghe câu hỏi.
// Sunohara completely hung himself over, hearing that question.
 
<0397> \{Sunohara} "... Bây giờ, em không muốn học hành gì nữa, em thích chơi nhạc hơn."
// \{Sunohara} "... Right now, I don't really want to study, I'd rather play music."
 
<0398> \{Yoshino} "Nhạc?"
// \{Yoshino} "Music?"
 
<0399> \{Sunohara} "Chúng em đang thành lập một ban nhạc."
// \{Sunohara} "We're forming a band."
 
<0400> Chính xác thì mình nên mong chờ cái gì...?
// Exactly what kind of look should I expect...?
 
<0401> "Cuối cùng, tớ còn nghe được thông tin anh ấy đang trong tình trạng bị hoảng loạn."
// "In the end, I heard he had some real crazy situation."
 
<0402> Nếu nó thực sự xảy ra...
// If that's really the case...
 
<0403> \{Yoshino} "Hơ... một ban nhạc, hử..."
// \{Yoshino} "Heh... a band, huh..."
 
<0404> .........
// .........
 
<0405> \{Yoshino} "Cậu này cũng khá đấy!"
// \{Yoshino} "This guy's pretty good!"
 
<0406> Cậu ta có một bản mặt khá ngớ ngẩn thì có!
// He has a ridiculously good impression!
 
<0407> \{Yoshino} "Vậy cậu chơi nhạc cụ gì?"
// \{Yoshino} "So what instrument do you play?"
 
<0408> \{Sunohara} "Em chơi ghi-ta. Cậu ta chơi trống."
// \{Sunohara} "I'm guitar. This guy's drums."
 
<0409> \{Yoshino} "Hả, cậu chơi trống sao? Không phải chơi cái đó rất khó sao?"
// \{Yoshino} "Heh, you're drums, huh? That's pretty hard, isn't it?"
 
<0410> \{\m{B}} "Em đánh trống giống như chơi trò đập đầu nhấp nhô."
// \{\m{B}} "I hit the drum like whacking moles."
 
<0411> \{Yoshino} "........."
// \{Yoshino} "........."
 
<0412> Vẻ khó hiểu lỗ rõ trên gương mặt anh ấy...
// He has a ridiculously dubious face...
 
<0413> \{Yoshino} "À, chắc nó cũng phát ra cùng một kiểu âm thanh... mà nó giống nhau sao...?"
// \{Yoshino} "Well, sure it comes up with the same sound but... is it the same...?"
 
<0414> \{Yoshino} "Vậy là, cậu chơi ghi-ta?"
// \{Yoshino} "So, you're guitar?"
 
<0415> \{Sunohara} "Vâng, chơi ghi-ta."
// \{Sunohara} "That's right, guitar."
 
<0416> \{Yoshino} "Cho tôi xem ngón tay."
// \{Yoshino} "Show me your fingers."
 
<0417> \{Sunohara} "Ngón tay..."
// \{Sunohara} "Fingers, huh..."
 
<0418> Cầm lấy bàn tay Sunohara, anh ấy bắt đầu kiểm tra đầu ngón tay.
// Holding onto one side of Sunohara's hand, he rubbed his finger.
 
<0419> \{Yoshino} "........."
// \{Yoshino} "........."
 
<0420> \{Yoshino} "... Có thật là cậu biết chơi?"
// \{Yoshino} "... Do you really play?"
 
<0421> \{Sunohara} "Hả...?"
// \{Sunohara} "Huh...?"
 
<0422>... Thấy chưa, cậu bị nắm thóp rồi.
// ... See, you got caught.
 
<0423> \{Sunohara} "Em chơi không theo quy tắc, cứ thế mỗi ngày."
// \{Sunohara} "I ridiculously play a lot, like everyday."
 
<0424> \{Yoshino} "Ra vậy..."
// \{Yoshino} "I see..."
 
<0425> \{Yoshino} "Dạng bài tập kiểu gì?"
// \{Yoshino} "What kind of practice?"
 
<0426> \{Sunohara} "Ừm... như này, grrừ..."
// \{Sunohara} "Umm... like this, grrr..."
 
<0427> Cậu ta vẩy tay lên xuống.
// He stroked his right hand up and down.
 
<0428> \{Yoshino} "Chỉ là hợp âm thôi sao?"
// \{Yoshino} "Still just chords?"
 
<0429> \{Sunohara} "Hợp âm? Đó là hợp âm sao?"
// \{Sunohara} "C-chords? That's chords?"
 
<0430> \{Yoshino} "Tôi đang nói về những hợp âm cơ bản; là gam ấy."
// \{Yoshino} "I'm talking about common chords; triads."
 
<0431> \{Sunohara} "G-gam, vậy... gam có khó không?"
// \{Sunohara} "T-triads, huh... triads are difficult, yeah?"
 
<0432> \{Yoshino} "Thế vừa rồi cậu chơi gì vậy, một hợp âm mạnh?"
// \{Yoshino} "What you were doing just now, that was a power chord?"
 
<0433> \{Yoshino} "À, nếu đến thứ cơ bản đó mà cậu cũng không biết, thì cậu chẳng chơi được gì cả."
// \{Yoshino} "Well, if you can't even do the basics, you can't do a thing."
 
<0434> \{Sunohara} "Thật ra. Chỉ cần trang phục thôi... haha!"
// \{Sunohara} "Really. Just powered suits at least... haha!"
 
<0435> Cậu đang cố vớt vát cái gì vậy?
// You changed your words, didn't you?
 
<0436> \{Sunohara} "À!"
// \{Sunohara} "Umm!"
 
<0437> \{Yoshino} "Gì nữa?"
// \{Yoshino} "What is it?"
 
<0438> \{Sunohara} "Anh biết nhiều về ghi-ta nhỉ, Yoshino-san. Phải chăng anh chơi được?"
// \{Sunohara} "You know the guitar pretty well, Yoshino-san. Perhaps you play?"
 
<0439> Đi thẳng vào vấn đề rồi.
// Straight to the point.
 
<0440> \{Yoshino} "Ừm, cũng biết ít nhiều."
// \{Yoshino} "I suppose, more or less."
 
<0441> \{Sunohara} "Vậy, hãy cho em xem đi! Em thực sự rất thích nghe!"
// \{Sunohara} "Then, please show me! I'd really love to hear it!"
 
<0442> \{Yoshino} "Nghe này..."
// \{Yoshino} "You know..."
 
<0443> \{Yoshino} "Trước khi bảo người khác chơi cho mình, thì mình phải chơi được trước đã."
// \{Yoshino} "Before you ask people to play for you, you should play yourself."
 
<0444> \{Sunohara} "Hả?!"
// \{Sunohara} "Huh?!"
 
<0445> \{Yoshino} "Mai cậu mang theo ghi-ta. Và chúng ta sẽ chơi."
// \{Yoshino} "Bring your guitar tomorrow. And then we'll jam."
 
<0446> \{Yoshino} "Ít ra tôi có thể cho cậu vài lời khuyên đấy."
// \{Yoshino} "I think I can at least give you some pointers."
 
<0447> \{Sunohara} "........."
// \{Sunohara} "........."
 
<0448> Yoshino Yuusuke bước vào trong xe và tạm biệt một Sunohara chết đứng.
// Yoshino Yuusuke steps into the light truck and sees off the now frozen Sunohara.
 
<0449> \{\m{B}} "Hừ, tình hình đúng là tệ thật."
// \{\m{B}} "This is a bad turn of events, man."
 
<0450> \{\m{B}} "Thậm chí cậu còn không có một cây ghi-ta."
// \{\m{B}} "You don't even have a guitar to begin with."
 
<0451> \{Sunohara} "Haha... Tớ sẽ kiếm việc làm thêm..."
// \{Sunohara} "Haha... I'll work something out..."
 
<0452> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Secret Skill... Guitar Skretch!" 
 
<0453>
// Pulling the string, he lets his neck slide back.
 
<0454>
// And, probably due to pulling the string too hard, it seems to have snapped against his finger.
 
<0455> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow!"
 
<0456>
// The pick dropped.
 
<0457> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Uwaah, the echo's following the string! Woo, woo!"
 
<0458>
// Without a moment's delay, I said,
 
<0459> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Impressive, Sunohara. But, give it up. Do this to pick up your fans afterwards."
 
<0460>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "........."
 
<0461>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You guys..."
 
<0462>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "aren't really a band, but a comedic duo, huh..."
 
<0463>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "I'm sorry, but I don't quite get the joke..."
 
<0464>
// He dashes off.
 
<0465>
// Twirl, twirl, twirl~...
 
<0466> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Haa!"
 
<0467> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Thanks to you, he totally misunderstood!"
 
<0468> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "How am I gonna get his autograph now?!"
 
<0469> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Go chase after him!"
 
<0470>
// Sunohara runs off, desperately trying to explain.
 
<0471>
// I don't know how he managed it, but Yoshino Yuusuke returned to the bench with a serious expression.
 
<0472>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Well from what you said, you use musical instruments, as I can see..."
 
<0473> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That's why, I said that's off."
 
<0474> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "We're serious."
 
<0475>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... But, you can't play at all, can you?"
 
<0476>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Besides, it's not 'skretch', it's 'scratch', okay?"
 
<0477> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Haha... truth is, this guy's been bluffing from the very beginning."
 
<0478> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even I'm not actually serious about this..."
 
<0479>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That's what I thought..."
 
<0480>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Playing the drums is nothing like whacking moles."
 
<0481> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "No kidding!"
 
<0482>
// But you're the one who said that, weren't you?
 
<0483>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, well..."
 
<0484>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Well, as I promised."
 
<0485> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huh?"
 
<0486>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You wanted to hear me play, didn't you?"
 
<0487>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Or maybe you don't really care about it any more?"
 
<0488> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "No, please!"
 
<0489>
// He passes his head through Sunohara's guitar strap.
 
<0490>
// Probably because of how he looks, or maybe because he actually knows what he's doing, he matched the guitar pretty damn well.
 
<0491>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Not that it really matters, but this is a 20,000 yen mail-order guitar, isn't it?"
 
<0492> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, that's not good enough?"
 
<0493>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Nope... it's fine."
 
<0494>
// Playing a single chord on the instrument, the sound echoed.
 
<0495> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huh? You're not really playing something now are you? It doesn't really sound like a song..."
 
<0496>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Idiot... I'm tuning it."
 
<0497>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Here we go."
 
<0498>
// Holding the pick, he finally begins playing his song.
 
<0499>
// Compared to Sunohara's noise, it was completely different. A beautiful melody.
 
<0500>
// He played a loud song with an accompanying melody in the background.
 
<0501>
// Closing my eyes, it was as if I was listening to two guitar players.
 
<0502>
// I couldn't help but be amazed.
 
<0503> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You're pretty damn good..."
 
<0504> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "So this song doesn't have any vocals?"
 
<0505>
// Sunohara asks.
 
<0506>
// Well, I didn't hear any voice singing along either.
 
<0507>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "This isn't really a song. It's just what comes naturally. It's not like I'm playing anything in particular."
 
<0508>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "I should wrap it up soon."
 
<0509>
// With a large echo at the end, the melody ends.
 
<0510> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Umm..."
 
<0511> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You're not... hoping to go professional, are you?"
 
<0512>
// Sunohara still hung in there, continuing the conversation.
 
<0513>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "A professional, huh..."
 
<0514>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "I don't really care about that."
 
<0515>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "All I want to do is play because I feel like playing."
 
<0516>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That's all I'm doing."
 
<0517>
// As expected, he threw up a wall. Not responding directly to the query.
 
<0518>
// ... I wonder what Sunohara's going to do.
 
<0519>
// I wonder if this has touched a part of him that's never been reached before.
 
<0520> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "L-like this... ow, ow... move my thumb like this?"
 
<0521>
// ... It merely taught him how to play the guitar!
 
<0522>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "For a while, your fingertips are going to burn as if they're on fire."
 
<0523>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, once you get past that, your skin will toughen and you'll enjoy it."
 
<0524> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I see. I'll work hard."
 
<0525> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heheh!"
 
<0526>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Well at this point my work here is done for today."
 
<0527>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "When you get a lot better, let me hear you again. I'll be listening."
 
<0528>
// Saying that, he handed Sunohara a business card.
 
<0529> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay!"
 
<0530> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Thanks a lot!"
 
<0531>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Later."
 
<0532>
// After giving me a smile, Yoshino Yuusuke got into the light truck and drove off.
 
<0533> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I'm... somehow, so moved..."
 
<0534> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Such an amazing guy teaching an amateur like me..."
 
<0535> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Such a ridiculous guy..."
 
<0536> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "After all that, you didn't even get an autograph."
 
<0537> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Who cares about that?"
 
<0538> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "From now on, I'm going to work hard and show Yoshino-san what I can really do!"
 
<0539> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're... seriously going to learn the guitar?"
 
<0540> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah..."
 
<0541> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I can do it..."
 
<0542> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Just you wait and see, Yoshino-san..."
 
<0543>
// Sunohara stared off into the distance, watching Yoshino Yuusuke disappear.
 
<0544>
// As always, finishing work, I was seated in the passenger seat of the light truck Yoshino-san was driving.
 
<0545>
// Seeing the students and salarymen heading home in the scenery flowing past me, I spaced out about my own existence.
 
<0546>
// Yoshino-san was silent as always.
 
<0547>
// That part of the silence kept being filled in by the radio continuing to run.
 
<0548>
// That was endless.
 
<0549>
// There was a violent guitar beginning its intro, flowing from the speaker.
 
<0550>
// Shouting was mixed with the drums.
 
<0551>
// A familiar voice.
 
<0552>
// Where have I heard this...?
 
<0553>
// Just as I was thinking that, Yoshino-san turned the dial. The noise afterward was that of professional baseball.
 
<0554>
// Even my thoughts were buried with that.
 
<0555>
// There was a familiar intro flowing from the speakers.
 
<0556>
// A violent guitar, echoing as if it were a chopper cutting the string.
 
<0557>
// Shouting was mixed with the drums.
 
<0558>
// Ah, how could this come by chance...?
 
<0559>
// I looked at the side of Yoshino-san.
 
<0560> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<0561>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... oh yeah, you lied back then, didn't you?"

// \{Yoshino} "About being the drums."

// Answer honestly
 
<0570>
// Cover it up
 
<0571> \{\m{B}} ""

// What will I do to cover it up...?
 
<0573> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Being a band for the school festival."
 
<0574> \{\m{B}} ""

<0577>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "........."
 
<0578>
// Yoshino-san said nothing beyond that.

<0589>
// It's ironic...

// Right now, I'm working under him.

<0716>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That was what one would call 'sympathy'."
 
<0717>\{Yoshino} ""

<0718>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "All of that couldn't be helped, as without a doubt, it saved them."
 
<0719>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Those were his feelings."
 
<0720>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "These were good-for-nothings that hurt others, as well as themselves, up until they met that music..."
 
<0721>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "These were guys that didn't think of others..."
 
<0722>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Finding a reason to live, he tried to commit everything to that."
 
<0723>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But... that was just about all that would come of it."
 
<0724>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "At the time, there was a television programme that was planning to do a biography on him."
 
<0725>\{Yoshino} ""

<0726>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "In addition, the crew of this programme were no ordinary fans."

<0728>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Though he had stubbornly continued to turn down performing for the programme..."
 
<0729>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He came to understand the director's sincere attitude..."
 
<0730>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Most of all, he afterward thought of meeting such fans at the time as being for his sake."
 
<0731>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then, the filming began."
 
<0732>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Reading from different types of letters..."
 
<0733>\{Yoshino} ""

<0734>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Beyond imagination."
 
<0735>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He met others whose body and personality had crumbled away..."
 
<0736>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "They were really more at home with his songs than he was."
 
<0737>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then, when that time came, he realized."
 
<0738>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That his own music... was no longer just for himself."
 
<0739>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But..."
 
<0740>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He couldn't understand it at all."
 
<0741>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Why was it that his music came to save others?"
 
<0742>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And even from that point on, he looked for something to support him."
 
<0743>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Besides, he didn't know how to continue to satisfy them..."
 
<0744>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "To begin with, the music that he had made was just for himself."
 
<0745>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was just a world of music, where there was no one that would blame what he did."
 
<0746>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He never once thought of doing this for others."
 
<0747>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, thanks to that programme, he couldn't help but take to that."
 
<0748>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There were those that were handicapped..."
 
<0749>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There were those who lived a troublesome life because of their parents..."
 
<0750>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There were those who were weak-minded, even now..."
 
<0751>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That was just the tip of the iceberg..."
 
<0752>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There were still thousands, and thousands who still hadn't met him, coming to be saved with his music..."
 
<0753>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then, he recognized that he wouldn't be writing this kind of music at all for such people..."
 
<0754>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "At the end of the filming was that of him holding onto an acoustic guitar, singing."
 
<0755>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, his hands were shaking flat-out, so he didn't play."
 
<0756>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "The ending of the TV show was of him walking away reflected in the background, with just a picture of the CD fading in."
 
<0757>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then..."
 
<0758>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "After the filming was over, he ended up not being able to make music the way he did."
 
<0759>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Though up until that point he was singing, he couldn't do so with a sober face."
 
<0760>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Knowing reality, he ridiculed the way he had been making music himself in the past."
 
<0761>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Reality was just too grand."
 
<0762>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "What you know is not what it seems, just because it looks like that."
 
<0763>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He continued to be worried."
 
<0764>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He didn't even sing. He was even reluctant to write music."
 
<0765>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He announced that he would be taking a break from the office for a while."
 
<0766>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "From the debut, he had recklessly been continuing to go to recordings and live events..."
 
<0767>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It couldn't be helped that it appeared he had become tired."
 
<0768>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He didn't enjoy his long holidays one bit, instead lazily letting it pass by..."
 
<0769>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Six months had passed."
 
<0770>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then one of the people he met from the television programme..."
 
<0771>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Committed a crime."
 
<0772>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "A serious come that one can not come back from."
 
<0773>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That familiar face... came out on the television."
 
<0774>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He thought it was his own fault."
 
<0775>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He thought it was because he had stopped."
 
<0776>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... he had to continue on."
 
<0777>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "For those desperate people, he had to continue on."
 
<0778>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Thinking that, he grabbed the guitar..."
 
<0779>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And began singing again."
 
<0780>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Perhaps since that time... he ran wild."
 
<0781>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "The line blurred between singing and reality."
 
<0782>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And began living idealistically."
 
<0783>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Everyone's needs had called for that..."
 
<0784>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He didn't quite understand why his singing had become like this."
 
<0785>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Shaking off his own doubt... he continued singing."
 
<0786>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That was a battle."
 
<0787>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, as he continued to fight, the enemies multiplied."
 
<0788>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He continued to sing away. They continued to blast him."
 
<0789>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Facing the enemies that continued to rise..."
 
<0790>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Finally, his ideals and fine skills came to a clash."
 
<0791>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "The only thing he could do was to beat reality against them."
 
<0792>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Because at the time, him facing reality was just as pitiful."
 
<0793>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "As a result, his songs deviated from its ideals, and reeked of a stench."
 
<0794>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "What he was giving out was not courage nor valor, but only a bitter reality."
 
<0795>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then, he didn't even sing his love song either."
 
<0796>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was too disgusting."
 
<0797>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Before he sung, he felt nauseating."
 
<0798>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "All of it was hypocritical."
 
<0799>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was fake to him."
 
<0800>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He no longer had a definition of himself."
 
<0801>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "His lines became incoherent."
 
<0802>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "As he approached the second line, it had already contradicted the first."
 
<0803>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And at the end, he sung that if you wanted to live, then die."
 
<0804>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was abnormal."
 
<0805>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "After that... only his image crumbled."*
 
<0806>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He was someone who should have sung because he felt like singing."
 
<0807>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Singing for the sake of saving someone was hopeless."
 
<0808>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Without a doubt, it all fell apart."
 
<0809>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Was it wrong for him to be too weak?"
 
<0810>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Not at all. If he were too strong, that would definitely be hypocritical."
 
<0811>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was nauseating..."
 
<0812>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was always contradicting..."
 
<0813>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, he had to cover up that contradiction."
 
<0814>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "In the middle of the contradictions, he had to act as if he didn't notice that contradiction."
 
<0815>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Because he was afraid of losing his music."
 
<0816>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Music was the one unique thing that he had clung onto."
 
<0817>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And to protect that, he took drugs."
 
<0818>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It was already nothing but contradictions."
 
<0819>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "The music so that no one would find him disgusting..."
 
<0820>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "To protect that, he even took part in things that people would find disgusting..."
 
<0821>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, he didn't even notice that at the time."
 
<0822>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "He was successful in covering up all his contradictions."
 
<0823>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Continuing with those drugs, he continued on singing."
 
<0824>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Though he couldn't sing his notes right, he went ahead with recording."
 
<0825>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "At night he would go and buy these drugs himself."
 
<0826>\{Yoshino} ""

<0831>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "And then, the moment he left the hospital..."
 
<0832>\{Yoshino} ""

<0942>
// About to say that I didn't know her, I closed my mouth.
 
<0943>
// Ibuki...

// Nagisa's homeroom teacher...?

<0966>
// At dinner time, I immediately asked her.
 
<0967>\{Nagisa} ""

<0969> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Listen and be amazed."
 
<0970> \{\m{B}} ""

<0971>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?! That's surprising!"
 
<0972> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even more, the guy used to be a professional musician that sold really well back then..."
 
<0973>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's amazing!"
 
<0974> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, but he... a lot of things happened to Yoshino-san."
 
<0975>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay..."
 
<0976> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He lost a lot of things, as well as the one most important thing to him..."
 
<0977> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In the end he came back to this city... and then, the one who gave him kind words was that Ibuki-sensei."

<0982>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh..."
 
<0983> \{\m{B}} ""

<0984>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Th... thank you so much!"
 
<0985> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The one who should be thankful is me."
 
<0986>
// After that, I dug up Yoshino-san's CD from my luggage, and listened to it along with Nagisa.
 
<0987>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I've heard this voice before."
 
<0988> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "So he really was famous."
 
<0989>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. There's no way I would forget such a beautiful voice."
 
<0990>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "His songs are also really good."
 
<0991>
// I'm thinking because the music was so loud, she seems to be quite pleased with it.
 
<0992>
// The sound of Yoshino-san's melody was hard, yet the melody itself was quite friendly, and full of sorrow.
 
<0993>
// That sort of part would certainly move Nagisa's heart, wouldn't it?
 
<0994> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, when he put out this CD, Yoshino-san was a lot younger than I am now."
 
<0995>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Really?! That's amazing..."
 
<0996> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."
 
<0997>
// A pure and unhesitant voice.
 
<0998>
// Yoshino-san sang the song in this CD himself.
 
<0999>
// Because it wasn't for others either, it reached out straight ahead.
 
<1000>
// Staring up at the ceiling, I thought over what I heard today.
 
<1001>
// The things I haven't experienced myself were glory and setback.
 
<1002>
// Reality is without a doubt a lot more grand that I can even imagine right now.
 
<1003>
// Though I had thought of living as being meaningless... I hadn't thought of wanting to end it.
 
<1004>
// The next morning.
 
<1005>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm, is it okay if I might borrow this CD for today?"
 
<1006>
// Holding onto Yoshino-san's CD, she asked me as I prepared to leave.
 
<1007> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're bringing that to school? That's quite brave for you."
 
<1008> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, make it echo real hard after school."
 
<1009>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I can't do something like that! I have to listen to lessons properly!"
 
<1010>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm going to be borrowing this CD on the way home."
 
<1011>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I thought of taking this to Ibuki-sensei..."
 
<1012>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well... the truth is, I didn't want to go and meet her until I had graduated but..."
 
<1013>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, if I ask about this... those thoughts will definitely be conveyed to her..."
 
<1014> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Not to the man himself?"
 
<1015>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes... the man himself... Yoshino-san told you, \m{B}-kun."
 
<1016>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That he had a lot of important things..."
 
<1017>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Perhaps he doesn't want to touch on that subject."
 
<1018>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "If I let Ibuki-sensei know that's how it is, I believe she'll understand..."
 
<1019>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Of course, I won't go into all the details but..."
 
<1020>
// For me, this was a conversation that was gradually beginning to open up.
 
<1021>
// If the person he first met suddenly told him her thoughts on his music, he would have to take it as a compliment.
 
<1022> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see... I suppose so."
 
<1023> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Go on ahead."

// That's why I answered as such.
 
<1025>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, then I'll be borrowing this."
 
<1026>
// Speaking of which, the day after tomorrow is a holiday.
 
<1027>
// Wait until the day after tomorrow, then go with her
 
<1028>
// Send Nagisa there
 
<1029>
// During dinner that day, Nagisa went to ask Yoshino-san's girlfriend.
 
<1030>\{Nagisa} ""

<1033>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well, I told her my thoughts."
 
<1034>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Doing that, she was really surprised."
 
<1035> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, it couldn't be that even Ibuki-sensei didn't know about the things with Yoshino-san being a professional musician...?"
 
<1036>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well, of course she knows."
 
<1037>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm sure that... she was surprised in regards to that I was deeply moved by hearing that kind of rock music."
 
<1038>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And so I said,"
 
<1039>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That I guess, I would really like for Yoshino-san to continue with music."
 
<1040> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, but, he should have sung in front of Ibuki-sensei... am I wrong?"
 
<1041>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's right."
 
<1042>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "However, Ibuki-sensei said that she would like for his music to be heard by many more other people..."
 
<1043>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "She said that Yoshino-san's music was beautiful for it to move others..."
 
<1044>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I also thought the same thing."
 
<1045> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
 
<1046> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As his girlfriend, Ibuki-sensei also thinks that...?"*
 
<1047> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "She's probably always wanted to do something about it..."
 
<1048>
// But, because she knows his past, she probably can't talk too easily about it.
 
<1049>
// And indeed, the reality of someone like Nagisa being moved by such rock music would be seen in a new light.
 
<1050>
// As expected, Yoshino-san should be moving a lot of people's hearts.
 
<1051> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Nagisa."
 
<1052>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes?"

<1058> \{\m{B}} ""

<1059>
// A stupid question.
 
<1060>
// The day she went to meet Ibuki-sensei.
 
<1061>
// First thing we did was stop by Nagisa's house.
 
<1062>
// That was to get bread as a souvenir for Ibuki-sensei.
 
<1063>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm back."

// \{Sanae} "That's why she's carrying this to her house."
 
<1089>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Maybe she's busy...?"
 
<1090>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It'll be fine. Let's not worry and get in the way."
 
<1091>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, I'll do that."
 
<1092>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll bring a lot of bread."
 
<1093>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sensei really loves our bread here."
 
<1094> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Because it's something we're giving another person, to give it to us as a present is not good, is it?"
 
<1095>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Indeed. I understand."
 
<1096>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well then, I'll be charging 10 yen a piece!"
 
<1097> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Please don't do that!"
 
<1098>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Please charge us the regular price!"

<1100>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I'll just treat you as a regular customer!"
 
<1101>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much!"
 
<1102>
// Nagisa thanks her, picking up the tray.
 
<1103>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, please take care of the bread."
 
<1104> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Y-yeah..."
 
<1105>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Please take two of these, and one of these."
 
<1106>
// Promptly instructing me, the bread piled up on top of the tray.
 
<1107>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well then, be sure to give her my regards."
 
<1108>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
 
<1109>
// Getting the bread in a paper bag, we left Furukawa Bakery.
 
<1110>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Over here."
 
<1111>
// Nagisa walks off, leading me.
 
<1112>
// What kind of teacher is she...?
 
<1113>
// I'm a little bit tense.
 
<1114>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We'll be there soon."
 
<1115>
// There was a woman in front of the house, watering the plants with a sprinkler pot in hand.
 
<1116>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "She's here."
 
<1117>
// Nagisa immediately called for her.
 
<1118>
// Ah, that's how it is, so I thought.
 
<1119>
// Certainly a demeanored woman who would fit Nagisa.
 
<1120>
// Even more, she's beautiful.
 
<1121>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sensei!"
 
<1122>
// Nagisa rushed up to her.
 
<1123>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Good afternoon, it's Furukawa."
 
<1124>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Good afternoon. Quite early, isn't it?"
 
<1125>
// She greets her with a smiling face.
 
<1126>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. I wanted to quickly meet you, so I came early."
 
<1127>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "That certainly makes your teacher happy."
 
<1128>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Well, I'm no longer a teacher, am I?"
 
<1129>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Thank you for coming today."
 
<1130>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Please, come in."
 
<1131>
// The teacher passes through the gates, entering.
 
<1132>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No... well..."
 
<1133>
// However, Nagisa remained at the street.
 
<1134>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "What seems to be the matter?"
 
<1135>
// She kindly asks, coming up close to her.
 
<1136>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm..."
 
<1137>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm, still wearing a school uniform..."
 
<1138>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Yes, I know."
 
<1139>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's why, I can't come into the house yet."
 
<1140>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Because I'll make you worried..."
 
<1141>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "You don't have to be worried about such a thing."
 
<1142>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "When you say so, sensei, I understand."
 
<1143>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, when I get to really talk with you next time..."
 
<1144>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I want to do so without being hesitant."
 
<1145>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's what I decided."
 
<1146>
// Working hard, she conveys her feelings.
 
<1147>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Is that so...? I understand then."
 
<1148>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "I'll be looking forward to that day."
 
<1149>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Work hard!"
 
<1150>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay!"
 
<1151>
// The two of them hold hands tightly.
 
<1152>
// A pleasant scene.
 
<1153>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Is he your friend?"
 
<1154>
// Ibuki-sensei was looking my way.
 
<1155>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
 
<1156>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Your boyfriend?"
 
<1157>
// Smiling to the point.
 
<1158>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm..."
 
<1159>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes... that's right..."
 
<1160>
// Embarrassed, Nagisa answers.
 
<1161>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "He's \m{A} \m{B}."
 
<1162> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yo."
 
<1163>
// I greet her in a simple fashion.
 
<1164> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, the bread."
 
<1165>
// I bring up my arm with the paper bag.
 
<1166>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, I'm sorry. Please pass it over."
 
<1167>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sensei, this is bread from my house. Please have some, if you'd like."
 
<1168>
// She takes the large bag from me, and gives it to her.
 
<1169>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Thank you very much."
 
<1170>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "This much? It's really heavy. Is this fine?"
 
<1171>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, please don't hold back."
 
<1172>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Well, I'll be taking some then."
 
<1173>
// Ibuki-sensei also gave me a smile.
 
<1174> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I wonder how many men have fallen for that smile...?)
 
<1175>
// I so think.
 
<1176>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "........."
 
<1177>
// She continues to stare at my face.
 
<1178>
// Smile.
 
<1179> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<1180>
// I kept a serious face.
 
<1181>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Nagisa-chan,"
 
<1182>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes?"
 
<1183>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "It's quite surprising of you to have such a beautiful boyfriend as him!"
 
<1184> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (She has such eyes...?)
 
<1185>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well... not at all..."
 
<1186>
// She glances at me.
 
<1187>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's also strange to me..."
 
<1188>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Not at all, that's your charm, Nagisa-chan. I can understand that."
 
<1189>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is that so...?"
 
<1190>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Do I even look like \m{B}-kun's girlfriend...?"
 
<1191>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Of course you do. One glance, and anyone can tell that the two of you like each other."
 
<1192>
// ... this is \bvery\u embarrassing.
 
<1193> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (So, we can at least understand that others can tell the romance going on between the two of us...?)
 
<1194> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I should be a little more careful about my appearance...)
 
<1195>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm, well, I have something to tell you today, sensei..."
 
<1196>
// Finally the romance talk ends, and Nagisa cuts straight to the point.
 
<1197>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "You're \m{A}-san, aren't you?"
 
<1198>
// Ibuki-sensei was looking my way.

<1200>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "You're really taking care of Nagisa-chan, yes?"
 
<1201>
// How should I answer this....? I go with a simple "Yeah".
 
<1202>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Seeing Nagisa-chan's fresh facial expression, I can tell."
 
<1203>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Nagisa-chan really found a good boyfriend."
 
<1204>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, I think that's big... yes..."
 
<1205>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "From now on, you two shouldn't separate, okay?"

// \{Nagisa} "Yes, we definitely won't!"
 
<1207> \{\m{B}} ""

<1219>\{Ibuki} ""

// \{Ibuki} "Okay."
 
<1222>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It was really good... and he was deeply moved."
 
<1223>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Both the lines and the melody are really good."
 
<1224>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Okay."
 
<1225>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And his voice was still... really good."
 
<1226>
// Are you gonna say anything more than "really good"?
 
<1227>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "What kind of CD might this be? I'm also interested in what kind of music that interests you so much."
 
<1228>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm... this."
 
<1229>
// Saying that, she takes the CD out of the back and gives it to her.
 
<1230>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Eh...?"
 
<1231>
// Seeing the CD jacket, the teacher drops it by accident.
 
<1232>\{Nagisa} ""

<1238>
// I cut in from the side.

// \{Ibuki} "\m{A}-kun... you know pretty well, don't you?"

<1250> \{\m{B}} ""

<1255>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes... that's just how much I'm moved by this."
 
<1256> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Although I only heard it once from people, it was a really strong impression, and I also went and bought the CD."
 
<1257>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's cruel for you to have known this by yourself up until now, \m{B}-kun."
 
<1258>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You should have told us a lot earlier..."
 
<1259> \{\m{B}} ""

<1261>\{Nagisa} ""

// Ibuki-sensei murmurs, while we're in the midst of being noisy.
 
<1265>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "Yuu-kun's music is amazing..."
 
<1266>
// Both Nagisa and I said the same thing.
 
<1267> \{\m{B}} ""

<1272>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh, what is it?"
 
<1273>\{Ibuki} ""
// \{Ibuki} "No, it just felt like that I should be doing this."
 
<1274>\{Ibuki} ""

<1283> \{\m{B}} ""

// A stupid question.
 
<1285>
// Another day.
 
<1286>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ibuki-sensei came up with a really good plan."
 
<1287>
// Nagisa so cuts in at the dinner table.
 
<1288> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What kind?"
 
<1289>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "An independent work."
 
<1290> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You say independent work... like a movie? Though I've heard of some that have been taken alone."
 
<1291>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. She's going to do that with a CD."
 
<1292>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There's also talk about getting an exclusive corner in the large CD shop."
 
<1293> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Heh... so something like that...?"
 
<1294>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "All the work needs to be done alone, so it's very difficult."
 
<1295> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Indeed. I'm sure something like that is damn difficult."
 
<1296>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."

// \{Nagisa} "But, in return..."
 
<1298>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "One can go with music they like."
 
<1299>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "One can continue on with the music they like."
 
<1300> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see..."
 
<1301>
// Perhaps so... in that case, Yoshino-san might also get into the mood.
 
<1302> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Good plan, isn't it?"
 
<1303>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
 
<1304>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "However, there is one problem."
 
<1305>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There isn't anyone to play the tambourines."
 
<1306> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<1307>
// ... tambourines.
 
<1308>
// Yoshino-san would change directions from Japanese-styled music?

// ... no damn way.
 
<1310> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... you mean drums?"
 
<1311>\{Nagisa} ""

<1313>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yoshino-san can go with other musical instruments but, just the drums appears to be difficult."

<1316> \{\m{B}} ""

<1319>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. Also, borrowing power from such people wouldn't create anything meaningful."
 
<1320> \{\m{B}} ""

<1685>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But you know..."
 
<1686>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "If time passes, that might also change."
 
<1687>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Because it's just one person's words, protecting it is difficult."
 
<1688>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "But, if it's you two, it'll surely be fine."
 
<1689>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There's no limit to the love that will disappear from this city..."*
 
<1690>
// Please, just stop saying things, and sing.

<1701>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Later, \m{A}. Be sure to work hard from tomorrow onward."
 
<1702> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yup."
 
<1703>
// Nagisa and I stand together in front of the apartment, seeing off Yoshino-san.
 
<1704>
// He went off for a bit, then turned around.
 
<1705>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Live happily ever after!"
 
<1706>
// He really is an embarrassing person...
 
<1707>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yoshino-san is such a good person."
 
<1708> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It seems to match with you... the embarrassing thing, that is."
 
<1709>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Even his words are deep, like poetry."
 
<1710>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's deeply moving."
 
<1711>\{Nagisa} ""

<1716> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What is it?"
 
<1717>
// She stared at my face...
 
<1718>
// And softly held my hand.
 
<1719>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You're also a beautiful person, \m{B}-kun."
 
<1720>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And also the most important person to me."
 
<1721> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
 
<1722> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Idiot..."
 
<1723>
// And even now...
 
<1724>
// In the small six-mat room, Yoshino-san's new song echoed.
 
<1725>
// --Love & Spanner
 
<1726>
// That track title is really mine.
 
<1727>
// And that was something Yoshino-san continued to sing...
 
<1728>
// Cohabitation
