<7202>
// 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.

<7207> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's \m{A}."

<7208>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Oh, my son, what's up?"

<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}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Who will...?"

<7480>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You will."

<7481> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I don't have that time on me!"

<7482>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You can take a day off."

<7483> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If I do, I'll get fired!"

<7484>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Sorry!"

<7485> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You want me to get fired?!"

<7486>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'm countin' on ya, my devoted son."

<7487>
// Clatter. Beep... beep...

<7488>
// He hung up.

<7489>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What happened?"

<7490>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Did dad say something ridiculous again?"

<7491> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He's an idiot."

<7492>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I think he's like a kid."

<7493> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (He's more of a perverted old geezer than he is a kid right now...)

<7494>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What did he say?"

<7495>\{Nagisa} ""

<7501>
// And just like that, I suddenly had a free afternoon.

<7502>
// The work that was scheduled got canceled by our client just before we were sent out.

<7503>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Well, you go first."

<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.

<7513>
// I began walking towards the Furukawa Bakery.

<7514> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey."

<7515>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Welcome... oh, it's just you."

<7516>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "What happened this time, you got fired?"

<7517> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I just happened to have some free time."

<7518>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Is that so? Well, if you've got no business here, buzz off."

<7519> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Where's Sanae-san?"

<7520>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Wandering about in town, crying."

<7521> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You made her cry again...?"

<7522> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I better go look for poor Sanae-san."

<7523>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, wait up a sec."

<7524> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah?"

<7525>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Come on man, what about the goods you promised?"

<7526> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What goods?"

<7527>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Kaaah! No way, don't tell me you've forgotten, bastard!"

<7528> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, seriously, what do you mean...?"

<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}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey."

<7541>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Oh, \m{B}-san. Good afternoon."

<7542>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What are you doing today?"

<7543> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I had some spare time, so I thought I'd come visit you for a little while, Sanae-san."

<7544>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Wow, really? That makes me happy."

<7545>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "But, before that, Akio-san,"

<7546>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "What is it?" 

<7547>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What were you talking about just now? Was there something exciting you wanted to see?"

<7548>
// She was suspicious of our questionable discussion.

<7549>\{Akio} ""
// \{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.

<7559> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What kind of bread are you selling?!"

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

<7561>
// ... there's nothing more to say about this.

<7562> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, what is it, where are you taking me?" 

<7563> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I want to talk to Sanae-san. Let's go back."

<7564>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey hey, if you go back to the house, it's gonna be trouble." 

<7565> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If it's gonna be trouble, do you have anything to do in mind?"

<7566>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah. Let's go to Nagisa's workplace from here."

<7567> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, go by yourself. See you."

<7568>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Wait a sec! You're coming as well!"

<7569> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why me?"

<7570>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You idiot, you think a big-looking guy like me's gonna solo it into a family restaurant to eat stuff like a parfait?!"

<7571> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You could drink coffee as well."

<7572>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "That's way too weird!"

<7573> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, I don't think eating parfait and drinking coffee is weird at all."

<7574>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "And, where you're living, Nagisa's always coming to you."

<7575>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You're loaded with 'photo moments'."

<7576> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's not just me. She even comes to you too."

<7577>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Idiot, I'm not gonna be me from now on."

<7578> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<7579>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'm gonna disguise myself as one of your friends, that's what I mean."

<7580> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why...?"

<7581>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I don't want to be found out as some sorta overprotective parent, don't you get it? It feels nasty."

<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?"

<7585> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<7586>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "We'll be able to take photos, and print 'em."

<7587>
// Help him with it

<7588>
// Run for it

<7589> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (No... there's no reason in being lured into reprinting the photos...)

<7590> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Just because I have some spare time...)

<7591>
// I understood that myself.

<7592>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, I'm gonna put on my disguise, face that way."

<7593> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<7594>
// What kind of disguise is he gonna put on exactly?

<7595>
// .........

<7596>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "All right, it's good. Perfect."

<7597>
// This guy's an idiot.

<7598>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Look, what do ya think? Can't tell, 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}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Heeey..."

<7611>
// I called out softly as I went inside the store.

<7612>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Ah, yes?"

<7613>
// 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.

<7616> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you alright?"

<7617>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, I'm fine."

<7618> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's that you're sweeping up?"

<7619>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It's soy flour."

<7620>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "For the soy flour bread."

<7621>
// So that's what the smoke was...

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

<7623>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Akio-san's a bad kid, playing with his food."

<7624> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... where's pops?"

<7625>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well, he left in the cloud of smoke."

<7626>
// I guess he'd be taking those photos on his own.

<7627>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "On that note, was there something I could help you with, \m{B}-san?"

<7628> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, just like I had said before, I really wanted to meet with you."

<7629> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa's still at work at this time." 

<7630>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is that so?"

<7631>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What can we do then, shall we play?"

<7632>
// That line made my breath slip.

<7633>
// That's always been something a student would say.

<7634>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is something the matter?"

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

<7636>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "But, if we stay around the park, the customers will know we've come here, so it's fine."

<7637>
// Really, going to the park... what were we going to do?

<7638> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Ahh, somehow, my heart's beating faster...)

<7639> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Wonder what we could have fun with... let's think...)

<7640> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm..."

<7641> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Shall we play on the swings?"

<7642>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Sure."

<7643>
// Two adults, riding the swings.

<7644>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "This is really fun, isn't it?"

<7645> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Woah... she's really having fun with on the ride...)

<7646>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "\m{B}-san, are your legs getting stiff?"

<7647>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well... come now, the ride's really good if you go all the way up."

<7648> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, okay."

<7649>
// Raising my legs like hers, I used centripetal force to get the swing up really high.

<7650>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You're pretty good, \m{B}-san. We're really quite high up."

<7651> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It was really fun as a child. Like this, I got it up so high I went all around."

<7652>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Don't you want to have a challenge today?"

<7653> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, can't really do that again."

<7654> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides, how old are we, riding the swings...?"

<7655>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It's nice riding on them once in a while."

<7656> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If you think so Sanae-san, then I guess."

<7657>
// Most women looking at us would this it was absurd, but it seems Sanae-san really found it fun.

<7658>
// It was so fun that one would not even feel a hint of stress.

<7659> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do you want to go on the bar next?"

<7660>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, I can pull myself across."

<7661> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I won't lose."

<7662>
// This feeling...

<7663>
// When did I feel something similar... it seems just like that time.

<7664>
// I see... it's Nagisa.

<7665>
// When Nagisa saw that apartment room for the first time...

<7666>
// It was so dirty, and yet she said it was beautiful.

<7667>
// Someone like me who's not resourceful and doesn't know how to really have fun with women... is with someone who's smiling.

<7668>
// Nagisa, as well as Sanae-san.

<7669>
// It really was a beautiful meeting, I thought.

<7670> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "It was no good after all!"

<7671>
// Suddenly, a loud voice pierced through the calm atmosphere.

<7672>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Brat, how dare you make me go there on my own! It was too embarrassing, so I didn't go in!"

<7673>
// It was a lovely meeting, this guy being the exception.

<7674>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What place might be embarrassing to come to?"

<7675>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Woah, Sanae! Uh, well..."

<7676>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "... the toy shop."

<7677>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You were fine with going to the toy shop alone, Akio-san."

<7678>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is there something you're hiding by going together?"

<7679>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Guh..."					

<7680>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You see this guy... wanted to see the restaurant Nagisa was working at, but he was crying that it was embarrassing for him to go on his own and order a parfait..."

<7681>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Both of you went to see Nagisa and work, didn't you?"

<7682>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'm telling you, this guy was crying and begging."

<7683>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "But I was having fun with \m{B}-san right now, so I don't really have any complaints."

<7684>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well then, \m{B}-san."

<7685>
// Sanae turned around to face me.

<7686>\{Sanae} ""

<7710>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Serious? That sucks."

<7711> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're better off just being normal."

<7712>

<7714>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Okay, brother!"

<7715>
// I'm familiar with the scenery that's laid out before me when I turn this corner... well, I should be.

<7716>
// From bottom to top, I'd been going past that school path for 12 years, using the roadway.

<7741> \{\m{B}} ""

<7745>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Just there."

<7752>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch, then just wait patiently, will ya?"

<7753>
// I took a seat.

<7754>
// After a short time, the waitresses came to greet us.

<7762> \{\m{B}} ""

// Actually, she's cute.

<7764>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, so you couldn't get here early."

<7765>
// Remembering her job, I took the menu, and asked her,

<7766>\{Nagisa} ""

<7767> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nope, two."

<7768>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes?"

<7769>
// She pointed in front of me, at the lone, tall figure, freakishly disguised as a charity worker.

<7770>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, umm..."

<7771>
// Narrowing her eyes, Nagisa examined his face closely, as if to confirm.

<7772>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "A friend?"

<7773> \{\m{B}} ""

<7774>\{Nagisa} ""

<7777>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well then, come with me to a table with more seats."

<7778>
// She passed through the middle.

<7779>
// Nagisa cleared the window-side table, and walked us over. 

<7780>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Here you go, this one."

<7781>
// Pops and I sat down together.

<7782>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Here's the menu. I'll come back soon to take your order." 

<7783> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, thank you."

<7784>
// Handing us the menus, Nagisa busied herself with the chairs.

<7785>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "See? She didn't recognize me." 

<7786> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I'd forgotten. Your daughter's really dim-witted."

<7787>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Nah, she's actually quite witty. If I were to talk she would see through it."

<7788> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Seriously, wearing those sunglasses, much as you wanna say you're a different person, you're not gonna pass for one."

<7789>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'm not stupid."

<7790>
// Definitely looks like we're giving it a shot.

<7791>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Next time Nagisa comes, keep her busy with some conversation. I'll take a photo during that time."

<7792>
// I took the instant camera I was hiding out of my pocket.

<7793> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, looks like we're intruding into her work a bit..." 

<7794>
// Another waitress, came, holding some water.

<7795>\{Cô Hầu Bàn} ""
// \{Waitress} "Welcome."

<7796>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch, bastard, why didn't you use it?"

<7797>
// I'd heard her coming around.

<7798>
// Looking somewhat angry, the waitress left.

<7799> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Be a little more prudent."

<7800>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Oh, there's Nagisa. Call out to her."

<7801> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You don't get it do you, pops..."

<7802>
// I didn't call out to Nagisa, but she came anyway.

<7803>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Have you decided on something?"

<7804> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, guess so..."

<7805> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hot coffee for me."

<7806>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, one hot coffee."

<7807>
// Nagisa turned herself around to face pops.

<7808>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "........."

<7809>
// Pops was staying silent.

<7810>
// I think I better say something.

<7811> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He'll have a parfait."

<7812>
// Guess I better save this sinking ship.

<7813>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There's many kinds of parfait. What kind would you like?"

<7814> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's the best one?"

<7815>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I think the best one's the 'Chocolate & Strawberry Mixed Parfait Special', would you like to have that?"

<7816> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sure."

<7817>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "........."

<7818>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is that all?"

<7819> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<7820>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much. Please wait for a little while."

<7821>
// Finishing the order, Nagisa left.

<7822>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You're happy with that stuff?!"

<7823>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Why'd you order me that fancy food? I can't eat that stuff!"

<7824> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Didn't you say parfait?"

<7825>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch, didn't you know that was just an example, brat?"

<7826>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Man, am I gonna be eating this sweet stuff?"

<7827> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "At any rate, I want to make a request. Make sure you eat in front of her."

<7828>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You're pestering me, bastard."

<7829>
// Behind, carrying the cooking, was another waitress.

<7830>
// A little later, we still hadn't seen Nagisa.

<7831>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Huh? Why hasn't Nagisa come?"

<7832>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Bring the store manager over! I'll beat the shit out of him."

<7833>
// Eating the jumbo parfait, he started abusing a strange middle-aged man.

<7834>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I can't take a photo like this!"

<7835>
// + Perverted Tastes.

<7836> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's enough, okay? We did get to see her."

<7837>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "My daughter's time to shine has been stopped forever. Don't you understand this parental love, idiot?"

<7838> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, do what you want.."

<7839>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Whatever you're gonna say about my interests, you've gotta follow the rules for taking the photos, man." 

<7840> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Gah..."

<7841> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As if I'd do a sneaky shot like that!"

<7842> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Isn't it fine just to take pictures out in the open?"

<7843>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Isn't it embarrassing doing it that way?!"

<7844> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If you're her parent, do it!"

<7845>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "It's embarrassing!"

<7846> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do it!"

<7847>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "What did I say about looking into someone else's business. Bastard, why do you think Sanae was happy about it?"

<7848> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, that's true..."

<7849>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "If you don't help out, that Sanae will be disappointed in you..."

<7850> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fine, I don't care."

<7851>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Oh, what a waste. I was gonna cook up a bit more of romance here."

<7852> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Bah... you're gonna do it?!"

<7853>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Maybe I am!"

<7854> \{\m{B}} ""

<7857>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "E-excuse me..."

<7858> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...?"

<7859>
// I noticed Nagisa right beside us.

<7860>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You're disturbing other customers. Could you please be a little more quiet?"

<7861> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, yeah, sorry..."

<7862>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "It was this idiot!"

<7863> \{\m{B}} ""

// \{Akio} "You bastard!"

<7865>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Excuse me, sirs..."

<7866> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, sorry..."

<7867>
// Pops and I fell silent. Finally, Nagisa left the table.

<7868>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch..."

<7869>
// Pops and I watched her leave.

<7870>
// However... a little while later, I noticed something while looking around.

<7871>
// A young man kept glancing across at Nagisa. 

<7872> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Am I being overconscious about this just because I'm her husband...?)

<7873>
// No, those guys sitting at the corner over there were all following Nagisa's actions, even pointing at her.

<7874> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Guess you could call it the magic of that uniform... Nagisa becomes really popular looking like that...)

<7875> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Even pops came as a regular customer just to see this cute stuff...)

<7876>
// Thinking about it, it felt like something to brag about.

<7877> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Hey bastards, that girl's my wife... hahaha...)

<7878>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey, look, they're all gathering around my number-one girl, Nagisa."

<7879>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hey bastards, that's my daughter... hahaha..."

<7880>
// We have two idiots right here.

<7881>
// The guys at the corner called Nagisa just as she passed by.

<7882>
// One of them put on a smile, talking to her.

<7883>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Hey, when do you finish work?"

<7884>
// He was hitting on her.

<7885>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I finish work in the evening, but..."

<7886>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Well that's fine. How about going out for dinner?"

<7887>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sorry, I'm going home right after work, so I won't be able to come..."

<7888>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Please excuse me."

<7889>
// As she stood to leave, the man grabbed Nagisa's arm.

<7890>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "You need to go back home that quickly?"

<7891>
// Not letting go, he went on in a forceful tone.

<7892>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch... that guy, looks like we can't just keep quiet."

<7893>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "All right, wanna beat the shit out of him?"

<7894> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<7895>
// For once, we'd agreed on something. We stood up at the same time.

<7896> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, seriously though. If we kick up too much of a fuss in the store, Nagisa's gonna get angry."

<7897>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "It'll be right, we'll just threaten him a bit."

<7898>
// Certainly threatening that face was scary.

<7899>
// Pops and I stood between him and Nagisa.

<7900> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, how about letting go of her arm?"

<7901>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "If you don't, we'll cut yours right off, bastard."

<7902>
// The three of us standing around, we threatened him with a harsh look. Overpowered, his expression changed.

<7903>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, it's alright..."

<7904>
// Nagisa spoke with a soft voice.

<7905>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Tch, a shop like this, I'm getting out of here!"

<7906>
// Standing up roughly, we pulled him along.

<7907>
// Then, pops stopped his leg behind him.

<7908>
// And then...

<7909>
// Crash! \shake{3} The man fell onto his backside, noisily. 

<7910> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Pops... you pulled your leg back, didn't you...)

<7911>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "What're you doing, you idiot?!"

<7912>
// Just as we thought, he was sure annoyed.

<7913>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Eh, sorry, I was spacing out. Go home."

<7914>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""

<7916>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Bastard!"

<7917>
// His hand came out. 

<7918>
// Seeing it, pops pulled out his leg again.

<7919>
// Thump! \shake{3}

<7920>
// The man fell into the table he was sitting at. The glass shattered, covering him.

<7921> \{\m{B}} ""

// He must have already been watching us for some time.

// The customers had already left since it was closing time, and the store manager looked at me over the table.

<7928>
// Pops was...

<7929>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You take care of the trouble! Bye bye!"

<7930>
// Saying that, he disappeared.

<7951> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's fine..."

<7952>\{Quản Lý} ""

<7954>
// She's usually one to persist in difficult circumstances...

// Ah... I see.

// That's what he was talking about.

<8056>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Still, I want to keep striving."

<8057>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "So that... I can be \m{B}-kun's ideal girlfriend."

<8058> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're absolutely great as you are."

<8059> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I can't stop looking at you, Nagisa..."

<8060>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's not like that."

<8061>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, you're great doing your best at work, you're a great boyfriend, and you're really handsome."

<8062> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "And what about you? You're definitely my cute girlfriend."

<8063>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<8064>
// We stared at each other.

<8065> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (.........)

<8066> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Somehow...)

<8067> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Seems like a good mood...)

<8068>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<8069>
// Nagisa brought her soft face closer.

<8070> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Eh...?)

<8071>
// Noticing, she closed her eyes.

<8072>
// Underneath, our lips met.

<8073>
// And for a long time, we kissed.

<8074>
// In this deepest place, we became still.*

<8075>
// .........

<8076>
// Finally, our lips parted.

<8077>
// Nagisa looked down, her ears a crimson red. 

<8078>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm..."

<8079>
// She lifted her face, but her eyes were clouded as she opened her mouth.

<8080>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... when I saw your face, I wanted to kiss, and ended up doing it."

<8081>
// She did her best, pretending to be confident.

<8082>
// In reality, that was pretty funny; I was tempted to laugh.

<8083>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm..."

<8084>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You didn't hate it, did you?" 

<8085>
// I was silent, anxious to learn, so in the end, I listened.

<8086> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (I was even only trying not to laugh...)

<8087> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, I didn't."

<8088> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Like I want to die, thinking that."

<8089>
// I answered that in good faith.

<8090>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You can't think about it like that."

<8091> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I was so happy about it."

<8092>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You were happy about it?"

<8093> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<8094>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "If that's how it is, let's kiss as much as we want."

<8095> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, one more time then."

<8096>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh...?"

<8097>
// We drew back a little.

<8098> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It was a joke."

<8099>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "N-no... I will."

<8100>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Mmm..."

<8101>
// Lost in desire, I went to her lips again.

<8102>
// This time we had a better kiss from the start, one much deeper.

<8103>
// Was Nagisa tired from work? She already started sleeping just as I put out the lights.

<8104>
// I stared up at the ceiling, not falling asleep.

<8105> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8106>
// The pleasant feeling I felt until now had disappeared.

<8107> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Even though it was so satisfying... what am I feeling uneasy about...?)

<8108>
// I understood that...

<8109>
// If pops saw this as well, it'd be quite a sight.

<8110>
// 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?

<8121>
// And, everything was already changing... 

<8122>
// "Even so, can you still like this place?"

<8123>
// ... can I?

<8124>
// I...

<8125>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Are you looking at this?"

<8126> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<8127>
// First thing this morning, Yoshino-san showed me the newspaper.

<8128>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That's the main road. There was some land purchase that got blocked and it's been quite delayed."

<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} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It's planned for the year after, in the spring. Long negotiations are still to be held."

<8133> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\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.

<8141>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Did you hear the news today?"

<8142> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<8143>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "They're building another new building in school."

<8144> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...?"

<8145>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I heard it from Nishina-san. They're starting construction this month."

<8146> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, what about the old school building?"

<8147>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "They're probably pulling it down."

<8148> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8149>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The students that attend two years later will be able to study in sparkling new classrooms."

<8150>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's really good."

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

<8152>
// Clatter!

<8153>
// Cup in hand, I struck the desk.

<8154>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh...?"

<8155>
// Nagisa, totally dumbfounded.

<8156> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah... I'm sorry..."

<8157>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's okay..."

<8158>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... why are you angry? I want you to tell me."

<8159> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, I'm not angry..."

<8160> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm disturbed..."

<8161>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "About?"

<8162> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The old school building...\p was the one with the drama clubroom..."

<8163> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We did our best together...\p it was the place where I fell in love with you."

<8164>
// No, that wasn't the only symbol of that.

<8165>
// But, right now I didn't really have an explanation for it.

<8166>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, that's right. I was thinking that too. That was an important place to you, \m{B}-kun."

<8167> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In that case... don't say that you're looking forward to it."

<8168>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What...?"

<8169> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Like the school becoming new, and changing..."

<8170>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah... yes, I understand how you feel, \m{B}-kun."

<8171>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I was being thoughtless. Yes... it's really sad..."

<8172> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8173>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Really, I'm so sorry."

<8174> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, that's... if you apologize honestly..."

<8175>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well..."

<8176> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8177>
// ... this was getting awkward.

<8178> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm... really tired."

<8179> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm just too nervous..."

<8180>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is that so...?"

<8181> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, that's definitely it."

<8182> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "My talking seemed like scolding. Sorry."

<8183>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No... that wasn't in my mind at all."

<8184>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Truth is, really, that I didn't think it through properly."

<8185>
// We're the same like this, always apologizing to each other.

<8186> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8187> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sorry, the food has gotten cold."

<8188>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's okay..."

<8189> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The meal you made is still nice, even though it's cold, Nagisa."

<8190> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's why I won't mind."

<8191>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much."

<8192>
// My chest was aching.

<8193>
// What's with this pain...?

<8194> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (.........)

<8195>
// Everything except me was changing.

<8196>
// That's what I realized.

<8197>
// The memories of everything that I loved were all changing into something I hadn't seen before at all in this new world.

<8198>
// Everything, was changing... everything was continuing to change.

<8199>
// And in that...\p Nagisa too, was also part of it.

<8200>
// Even Nagisa was inside that confusing stream of changes, moving far away from me.

<8201>
// The pain in my chest was of a sorrowful premonition.

<8202>
// These close things were becoming distant, little by little.

<8203>
// And so, I hugged Nagisa tightly.

<8204>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What's wrong, \m{B}-kun?"

<8205>
// I called out gently to Nagisa.

<8206> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Nagisa..."

<8207>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes?"

<8208> \{\m{B}} ""

<8209>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I really love you too, \m{B}-kun."

<8210> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<8211>
// We've talked about these things before.

<8212>
// We always relied on each other, staying together.

<8213>
// With these words, those thoughts were swept away.

<8214> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa..."

<8215>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes...?"

<8216>
// Facing Nagisa...\p I kissed those lips.

<8217>
// To attach myself to Nagisa.

<8218>
// Pulling Nagisa's chin with my finger, I opened her mouth.

<8219>
// Deep inside, I wished for that link.

<8220>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Mmm..."

<8221>
// We made love to each other for the first time.

<8222>
// It was empty like a dream, not painful to the point of crying.

<8223>
// Two years ago, I stood at the bottom of that hill.

<8224>
// Not knowing where I was going, I remember being irritated.

<8225>
// Not being able to sneak away, I hated the town.

<8226>
// I hated everything... I was yearning for everything to change.

<8227>
// In the stream of time, I saw something important.

<8228>
// And, I lost something that I feared.

<8229>
// And, I wanted to change as well...

<8230>
// How long has it been, since I've wanted for everything to change?

<8231>
// I don't want anything to change... nothing at all.

<8232>
// If it changed, I wouldn't smile.

<8233>
// If this place I like wasn't here anymore...

<8234> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "\m{B}-kun... it's morning."

<8235> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "If you wake up this slowly, you'll be late.

<8236>
// A voice close to my ear...

<8237>
// Slowly, I opened my eyes.

<8238>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, let's get up."

<8239> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<8240>
// You're here...\p Nagisa.

<8241>
// I grabbed that hand.

<8242>
// And strongly held on to it.

<8242>
// And strongly grip it.

<8243>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, what's the matter?"

<8244>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Did you have a bad dream?"

<8245> \{\m{B}} ""
