<0000>
// Yukine
<0001>
// Somehow it feels like I've been commuting here every day now...
<0002> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Today sure is peaceful..."
<0003>
// I look around the room.
<0004>
// ... Miyazawa isn't here.
<0005> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Miyazawa-!"
<0006> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0007> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I thought she'd make something for me this lunch so I came empty-handed..."
<0008> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0009>
// She didn't seem to be hiding; she really wasn't here.
<0010> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Can't be helped..."
<0011>
// As I turn around to go to the cafeteria, I suddenly stop.
<0012> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Guess I'll make something myself..."
<0013>
// I gather the ingredients and cookware.
<0014>
// Usually Miyazawa would be standing here, doing all the work.
<0015> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0016>
// There's a white case placed by my feet.
<0017> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I see... this is the cooler box, huh...)
<0018>
// As I open the lid, I find frozen food stuffed inside.
<0019> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (So all this'll be for stir-frying with the frying pan, huh...)
<0020>
// Sizzle!
<0021>
// The sound of frying rice echoed in the room.
<0022> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No good, the fire isn't strong enough..."
<0023> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I am holding a portable stove model so... it's not exactly a luxury..."
<0024>
// Suddenly, I hear the sound of the door opening in the back.
<0025> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah... \m{B}-san."
<0026> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Heya, Yukine, welcome back."
<0027>
// I greeted her back, pretending to have an intimate relationship with her.
<0028> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah... haha... I'm back now."
<0029>
// Miyazawa smiles as if she's being tickled.
<0030> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're a bit late today, aren't you?"
<0031> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, I was on duty today."
<0032> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see. It's still noon, right?"
<0033> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, it is."
<0034> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I made some fried rice for the two of us, so please have a try."
<0035> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay, thanks for the food."
<0036>
// We face each other eating the fried rice.
<0037> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's really delicious."
<0038> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's only simple stir-frying."
<0039> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "As I thought, devotion brings out the taste."
<0040> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I put everything into it." 
<0041> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Thank you very much."
<0042> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, if I do this, wouldn't it taste better?"
<0043>
// I take a spoon with fried rice and stretch my hand towards Miyazawa's mouth.
<0044> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Haha... this is embarrassing."
<0045> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's all right, open your mouth."
<0046> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then... ahh--"
<0047>
// Gulp.
<0048>
// The moment my spoon was in her mouth...
<0049>
// Slam.
<0050> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yahoo! Yukine-chan!"
<0051> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Gack, HEAAARTTTBREAAAAAKKK!!"
<0052>
// S-s-s-s-liiiipppp--!
<0053>
// The happy-going Sunohara comes in, and with force, he slides onto the floor.
<0054> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, welcome, Sunohara-san."
<0055>
// The sinful angel greets him with a smile.
<0056> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "........."
<0057>
// Sunohara responds with a silence, his body still.
<0058> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I never knew you two had developed that kind of relationship..."
<0059> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Excuse me?"
<0060> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You're so mean \m{A}-kun... getting ahead of me like that..."
<0061> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, that really didn't have any deep meaning whatsoever."
<0062> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Liar!"
<0063> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm telling the truth. Right, Miyazawa?"
<0064> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes!"
<0065> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Really...? Can I believe... those words?"
<0066> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, sure."
<0067> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I-I'm glad..."
<0068> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Here, I'll give you some back. Please say 'Ahhhh.'" 
<0069> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, gulp."
<0070>
// S-s-liiiipppp--!
<0071>
// Sunohara again, falls onto the floor.
<0072> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You'll make all the dust fly, so stop doing that."
<0073> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's okay. I clean the floor every day..."
<0074> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "So, please feel free to lie down wherever you like."
<0075> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Man, Sunohara's such a kid."
<0076> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I think it's wonderful if there are people in this school who are naughty like that."
<0077> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He's just an idiot."
<0078> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Not at all. I think Sunohara-san holds dear the mindset of a child."
<0079> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "By the way, how long are you gonna lie down there?"
<0080> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "... I won't be getting up for a while."
<0081> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Why is that, Sunohara-san...?"
<0082> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I think we might need a spell."
<0083> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, you're right."
<0084>
// She takes out her usual book from her pocket.
<0085> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is this okay, Sunohara-san?"
<0086> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What is it...?"
<0087> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Please place the palm of your dominant hand onto your forehead, as if to check your temperature."
<0088> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay..."
<0089> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, in your mind, 'With A Warm Look, With A Warm Look, With A Warm Look...'"
<0090> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Please think that three times."
<0091> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay..."
<0092> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "........."
<0093> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Are you done?"
<0094> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I am..."
<0095> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "So... what effect does this have?"
<0096> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Well, let's see..."
<0097> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Other people's happiness will become your happiness."
<0098>
// Slip! 
<0099>
// He made a somersault this time.
<0100> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That is a spell that makes you declare that you're a loser yourself, right?"
<0101> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you happy now, Sunohara?"
<0102> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I'm extremely sad!"
<0103> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Looks like you weren't pleased with it..."
<0104>
// Miyazawa's disappointed voice.
<0105> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Somehow, only Sunohara-san seems to be down, so..."
<0106> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'd like you to feel more like \m{B}-san just a little..."
<0107> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ah... well... I'm really happy you feel that way, Yukine-chan..."
<0108> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm sorry, for doing the exact opposite..."
<0109> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I really do feel better now."
<0110> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Really?"
<0111>
// But...
<0112> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (This is how Miyazawa plans to study what makes people happy, isn't it...?)
<0113> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (She's spontaneously thickheaded...)
<0114> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Though as usual, she still ended up being popular spontaneously...)
<0115> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I wonder if I should tell her that...)
<0116> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, I'm feeling better."
<0117> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm so glad!"
<0118> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Nah, leaving it like this is fine...)
<0119>
// Miyaza's smile immediately came back as I think of that.
<0120>
// During that day.
<0121>
// While we had an amusing conversation with Miyazawa, we heard the sound of the windows open.
<0122>
// It's another one of Miyazawa's friends.
<0123>
// That's what I thought as I turn around to the opened window as the breeze comes in. However, there was no one there.
<0124> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh? No one came in just now?"
<0125>
// I ask Miyazawa.
<0126> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes?"
<0127>
// A shadow quietly creeps up from behind Miyazawa.
<0128> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah..."
<0129> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Don't move!"
<0130>
// A high pitched voice.
<0131>
// The shadow puts its arm around Miyazawa.
<0132> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Eh, okay..."
<0133>
// Miyazawa replies obediently.
<0134> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0135> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "That's it... stay still..."
<0136> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay."
<0137> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well..."
<0138> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's just a kid."
<0139>
// No matter how you look at this, it's a kid. Seems to be still growing up, and you can't tell the gender with such an androgynous face.
<0140>
// The hair's cut short and trimmed, you can see that he's a boy (well, he might also be a girl with short hair). 
<0141> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is that so?"
<0142> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, I can't see him and I can't move."
<0143> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's all right. He's unarmed and won't be able do anything at that level."
<0144> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "No, that's not the problem, it's a problem of being sincere."
<0145> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Are you making fun of me?" 
<0146> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "We're not."
<0147>
// It's pretty much like Miyazawa to answer him clearly...
<0148> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Then, you'll listen to what I have to say?"
<0149> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If it's something I can do."
<0150> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, don't ask for any weird favors, okay?"
<0151> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "It's not a favor, it's an order."
<0152> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "It's a threat, after all."
<0153> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It worries me if you say it like that."
<0154> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It looks like I'll end up listening to your strange favors too."
<0155> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I won't let him do anything perverted."
<0156> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "As if I would!"
<0157> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ohh... he's mad, he's mad."
<0158> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, what would you have me do?"
<0159> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Huh, well..."
<0160> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Oh..."
<0161> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "I want you to give back... my sister."
<0162> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Huh?"
<0163> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ahh, well this is a misunderstanding."
<0164> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, how about telling us your story, while we have some coffee."
<0165> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "No, I'll do it, so \m{B}-san, please have a seat."
<0166>
// Miyazawa immediately gets up, lifting along the kid that's behind her.
<0167> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Uwaah!"
<0168> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ahh, I'm sorry. How thoughtless of me." 
<0169> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "I told you not to move didn't I?!"
<0170> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, I'm only going to make some coffee. I'll be back soon."
<0171> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "You'll still see me, so it'll be okay."
<0172> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "That's not the problem!"
<0173> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, would you like to ride on my back?"
<0174> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "........."
<0175> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Fine, I get it!"
<0176>
// He finally separates his arm from Miyazawa.
<0177> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "In return, when you're done with the coffee, we'll return to the same positions."
<0178> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "All right, I understand."
<0179> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "........."
<0180> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Tch..."
<0181>
// The kid clicks his tongue as he watches her back.
<0182>
// He's perfectly keeping pace with Miyazawa.
<0183> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Doesn't matter what you do, everyone would end up dancing to this girl's tune...) 
<0184> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you like any sugar?"
<0185> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "I don't."
<0186>
// Sip.
<0187> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "Unnng..."
<0188>
// He made a bitter face as he drank the coffee.
<0189> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Let's introduce ourselves, first."
<0190> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I'm Miyazawa Yukine."
<0191>
// Miyazawa looks my way.
<0192> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "\m{A}."
<0193>
// And then, the two of us put our coffee cups down as we look at the boy.
<0194> \{Cậu Bé} ""
// \{Boy} "... Yuu."
<0195>
// He didn't say his last name. He's probably being cautious.
<0196> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "So it's Yuu-kun?"
<0197> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, Yuu-kun."
<0198> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you like us to listen to what you have to say?"
<0199>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "........."
<0200>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "I..."
<0201>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "I want you to give back... my sister."
<0202> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We heard that just a while ago."
<0203> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We want to know what happened to that sister of yours, man."
<0204>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "She started playing with some strange guys."
<0205> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Strange guys...?"
<0206>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Those guys with some strange hair colors."
<0207> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Students?"
<0208>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Yeah... students from another school."
<0209> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "And, how is Miyazawa related?"
<0210>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Someone suggested I talk to her."
<0211> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Who did?"
<0212>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "My friend's brother."
<0213>
// I look at Miyazawa's face.
<0214>
// Miyazawa waves her hand in front of her face, denying it.
<0215>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "I don't really know, but supposedly the girl who controls these guys is here."
<0216>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "He said that the only way to escape from that world is to cut off your own finger!"
<0217> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0218> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's uh...."
<0219> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Quite interesting."
<0220> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's not interesting at all."
<0221> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But he's reckless, you know."
<0222> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "We can't really joke about this."
<0223> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But you know, I don't understand this misunderstanding."
<0224> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Since all the delinquents around here adore you."
<0225> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Just some of them."
<0226> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even then, it's the same. Since they only come here to rely on you."
<0227> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Well that might be so, but..."
<0228> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "And also, you might also be an acquaintance with the people who know his sister."
<0229> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Certainly I can't deny that, can I?"
<0230> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, let's bring those guys around here right now."
<0231>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Ehh, really?!"
<0232> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Isn't that great?"
<0233> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, you'll be calling them."
<0234> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "How would I?"
<0235> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Somehow I feel that, if we go with a plan where you suddenly shout, they'd all come rampaging in here."
<0236> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "'What'd you say?! Sis is in trouble?!'"
<0237> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "'All right, you guys. Let's go! Yeeeaaahhh---!!'" 
<0238> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Something like that."
<0239> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "\m{B}-san, you really are funny." 
<0240>
// Not really.
<0241>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "If that's the case then... this person really is the boss, isn't she?"
<0242> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "He was only saying that as a joke."
<0243> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, while I'm not exactly serious, it might be true since the result would almost be like that." 
<0244>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "But, you know a lot of these bad people, right?"
<0245>
// Miyazawa picks up a sugar stick pack and cuts it by the top edge. 
<0246> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "They're not bad."
<0247>
// And then, she pours its contents in the boy's cup.
<0248> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's just that society has labeled them as bad."
<0249> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "There are times when they become rude and reckless."
<0250> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And there are times other people will put the blame on them."
<0251> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "However, though everyone of them shows themselves to be macho, they're really kind people."
<0252>
// That kind of thinking is wrong...
<0253>
// Society calls them bad because they are 'bad'. 
<0254>
// And there isn't anyone who's willing to accept them.
<0255>
// That's probably why they come around here.
<0256>
// They want to be accepted.
<0257>
// And as such, they want to think of it that way.
<0258>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "In that case, you probably don't know the guys she's hanging around with..."
<0259> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I can't really say more about it but, I don't think there's a rule saying that they mustn't tempt women."
<0260>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "I see..."
<0261>
// It seems like he now believes in Miyazawa's words.
<0262>
// After that, the boy takes away his hand, his head hanging down.
<0263> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, don't feel so depressed."
<0264> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll make some pilaf."
<0265> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah, that's a good idea."
<0266> \{Miyazawa} ""

// He looks at me carefully... then at Sunohara...
<0538>
// He walks to us.

// He puts his hands into his pockets and stoops backward...
<0540>

// Jump, jump.
<0551>
// Clatter... clatter...

// \{Miyazawa} "Isn't that right?"
<0633>
// Miyazawa bears a sweet smile.
<0634> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "The taste is the same, but it's more pleasant to buy it with the money you earned from work."
<0635> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "The most important thing is the feeling."
<0636> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If you take money, the people you take them from will feel sad."

// Yuu nods, hanging his head.

<0644> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "We'll both apologize to him properly, all right?"
<0645>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Okay."
<0646>
// Miyazawa is really this persuasive even when it comes to teaching the basics of interacting with people, huh.
<0647>
// Well... this is unexpected... Miyazawa might have come this far by doing this simple preaching.
<0648>
// It's actually quite difficult to explain common sense in simple terms.
<0649>
// She's not changing people, she's bringing them back...
<0650>
// She's saying the truth in good faith, making them recognize themselves.
<0651>
// It's something so simple, yet difficult.
<0652> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ah, about that thing. I guess I have an open heart? I really don't care about something like that."
<0653>
// During lunch break, Sunohara came with a good sense of humor while stuffing himself with pilaf.
<0654> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Nevertheless, Yukine-chan's pilaf is the best!"
<0655> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Doesn't it feel like the ultimate meal?"
<0656> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It's only food I warmed up from the fridge, but what you say makes me happy."
<0657> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Non, non! Cooking is Love! Your devotion's brought out the best taste in this!"
<0658>
// Yuu and I who're eating pilaf distanced ourselves from Sunohara who's merrily making grains of rice fly off from his mouth.
<0659>
// After that, Yuu gets up, leaving his dish.
<0660>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Um... onii-chan..."
<0661> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huh?"
<0662>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Um... here."
<0663>
// As he says that, he takes three 100 yen coins out of his pocket and presents them to Sunohara.
<0664>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "I'm sorry."
<0665> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ahh, don't worry about it. I was a bit childish, after all."
<0666> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It means we're both at fault."
<0667> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, just go buy some juice or give a cat some food, all right?"
<0668>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Eh? Is that okay?"
<0669> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah! I don't really care. Ahahahaha-!"
<0670> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Sunohara-san, you're quite an adult, aren't you?"
<0671> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This is a surprising reaction."

<0674>\{Yuu} ""
// \{Yuu} "Yeah!"
<0675> \{\m{B}} ""

// \{Sunohara} "Hmm? What is it?"
<0677> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yuu has given back your 300 yen which means you, too, should give back Miyazawa's cash."
<0678> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "...?"
<0679> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Miyazawa's 1000 yen bill, right?"
<0680> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ah, ahaha, a-about that..."

// \{Sunohara} "I don't have it anymore."
<0682> \{\m{B}} ""

<0683> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I drowned myself with juice from the vending machine. Thanks a bunch, Yukine-chan."

// It's evening and we're on the way back home from school.

// Miyazawa and I were also lined up behind them.

// ... Such a strange group...

<0755> \{Miyazawa} ""

// So, letting her sleep in your lap means you get to have her home made cooking, huh.

// Any man would take the initiative and announce their candidacy with that...

// And then, because it's her, she'll probably accept it.

// Then in the end, all of them will come here to do the same.

// If I wasn't here, and Sunohara was, I'm sure he'd get a warm reception.

// I look at my watch. It's about time.
<2016>
// When I arrive during lunch break, the school is filled with energy.
<2017>
// I give an innocent look as I walk.
<2018>
// Though I'm being suspended, I think only a few people would recognize both my name and face.

// \{\m{B}} "You actually can?!"
<2037> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes. The chicken rice inside would be from the usual frozen food though."

// And then, two eggs.
<2040> \{Miyazawa} ""

// It may be frozen food, but on the outside it looks homemade.

// It's soft...

<2507>
// Below Sunohara's head was a folded towel in place of a pillow.
<2508>
// And then I turn around.
<2509> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is it about the light..."
<2510> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<2511> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That light was seen long ago."
<2512> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh...... serious?"
<2513> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes. That's why, I think what you were talking about is true, \m{B}-san."
<2514> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do you know anything about that, Miyazawa?"
<2515> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Here's a book chronicling the legends of this town, and this legend has been passed down over the centuries." 
<2516> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Would you like to read it?"
<2517> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, I'm no good at reading... I'd like to hear it from you, Miyazawa."
<2518> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Okay. Even then, I don't know all the details that were written."
<2519> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "They just have a guess that it's a thistledown of some plant or a type of dragonfly."
<2520> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, there's one thing common about it all..."
<2521> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And that is... ever since then... that thing was called a symbol of happiness."
<2522> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "When something good happens, you'll catch a sight of them."
<2523> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "If it finds happiness, it will float there as if it's watching it."
<2524>
// It's perfectly the same...
<2525>
// That scenery around that time, there's no doubt that Miyazawa's happiness right now should've symbolized that scene.
<2526>
// I look at my own palm.
<2527>
// There wasn't anything in there.
<2528> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "But, because it's a legend, no one right now believes in its existence."
<2529> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "And that's because no one has seen it before."
<2530> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, I saw it."
<2531> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Yes, I guess so, that's why I believe you."
<2532> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."
<2533>
// That simple response made me feel relieved. 
<2534> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, why was I the only one who saw it?"
<2535> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I don't know the reason for that."
<2536> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It might be that \m{B}-san is a special person?"
<2537> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "No, I guess I'm wrong. I guess we're the ones who are special."
<2538> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Because people from long ago could see it."
<2539> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then why can't it be seen anymore...?" 
<2540> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "I wonder if it's because people's feelings have changed?"
<2541> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Or it might be because we need to be more affectionate about this town."
<2542> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Or maybe if we become more attached to this town, plenty of people would be able to see it."
<2543> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "It surely changed if you compare it with the past..."
<2544> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Because people remembered how people lived in the past."
<2545> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're so imaginative, huh..."
<2546> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If so... I'm the same then. Moreover, I'm a person who hates this town."
<2547> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Is that so?"
<2548> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."
<2549> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I dunno about Sunohara, but besides me, you should have been able to see it, I think."
<2550> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Then, I wonder why?"
<2551>
// I stop thinking about it.
<2552>
// However...
<2553>
// I'm certain that I just lost the hatred I had towards this town before. 
<2554> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hahaha!"
<2555>
// It feels like I've seen this before.
<2556>
// I cracked a smile as I think of that.
<2557>
// And then, I ended up not hating this school anymore.
<2558>
// ... All thanks to someone.
