// Akio

<0001>
// When I returned, Sanae-san was setting up the tea at the counter.

<0002>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "\m{B}-san, here."

<0003> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, yes. Let's eat."

<0004>
// Pops was casually smoking his cigarette.

<0005>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Dad, hurry up and say it."

<0006>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Whew..."

<0007>
// After blowing out a long stream of smoke...

<0008>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'll be going."

<0009>
// So he informed us.

<0010>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is that so? Rest assured that we'll take care of the store."

<0011>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah..."

<0012>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's great!"

<0013>
// I don't know how they managed to persuade him, but there was no reason for him to keep rejecting his beloved daughter's pleas.

<0014>
// A week passed, and came the Saturday morning for pops to depart.

<0015>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Don't do anything other than selling the stuff." 

<0016> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<0017>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "And don't get yourself hurt."

<0018> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<0019>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It'll be all right, Akio-san. I'll be with him."

<0020>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "........."

<0021>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "......"

<0022>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah..."

<0023>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "... I'll leave it to you."

<0024>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Okay!"

<0025>
// A good amount of time passed.

<0026>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Well, I'll be going."

<0027>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, have a safe trip."

<0028>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Have a safe trip, dad."

<0029>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "........."

<0030>
// Looking at us, he closed his eyes with a determined look, then left.

<0031>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well then, since there isn't any time left, let's start quickly."

<0032>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's right!"

<0033>
// From there, we continued baking the bread without rest.

<0034>
// When the time came to open the store, Nagisa manned the store alone.

<0035>
// Again, Sanae-san and I continued our work in the kitchen.

<0036>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It's the last one."

<0037> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Roger."

<0038>
// I pushed the plate with the last round of bread into the oven.

<0039>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well then, I'll head out to the shop, so \m{B}-san, please rest in the meantime."

<0040> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll take over for Nagisa later."

<0041>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, please do that."

<0042>
// Sanae-san stepped out with the tray of baked bread in her hands.

<0043> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I'm damn tired...)

<0044>
// Even though I usually do a lot of physical labor, I was out of shape.

<0045>
// My first time on the job; I probably needed more focus than usual.

<0046> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I should rest as much as I want...)

<0047>
// I moved to the living room behind the kitchen.

<0048>
// I took off my apron, and lay down.

<0049>
// .........

<0050>
// ......

<0051>
// ...

<0052>
// \m{B}-kun...

<0053>
// .........

<0054>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun."

<0055>
// I wake up to a voice calling me.

<0056> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<0057> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's up...?"

<0058>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll be going out, \m{B}-kun, so please take care of the rest."

<0059> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah. Is it time already...?"

<0060> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Have you eaten breakfast?"

<0061>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "There wasn't any time..."

<0062> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you sure you'll be fine?"

<0063>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I can wait until noon."

<0064> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Make sure you eat your lunch properly, and slowly."

<0065>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I'll do that."

<0066>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Well, I'll be going."

<0067>
// She left in a hurry.

<0068> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I should be heading back as well...)

<0069>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Please come again."

<0070>
// Sanae-san went all the way to the door, sending the customer off.

<0071>
// The shop was devoid of customers.

<0072>
// The stream of shoppers had just ended.

<0073>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Ah, \m{B}-san."

<0074> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm taking over for Nagisa now."

<0075>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Okay, please do."

<0076> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, from this point on, it's probably okay to have one person man the shop."

<0077>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You're right."

<0078>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "\m{B}-san, it's okay for you to rest."

<0079> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Er no, not me, the one resting should be you, Sanae-san."

<0080> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You've been working non-stop since early morning."

<0081>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I'm completely fine. It's fun, being able to talk to the customers."

<0082> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that so..."

<0083>
// It seems that she won't listen.

<0084> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, please let me join in."

<0085>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You want to join in?"

<0086> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I do."

<0087>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well, please do."

<0088> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thank you."

<0089>
// Saying that, we both laugh.

<0090> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, really, I'm jealous of pops,"

<0091> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Working together with Sanae-san like this."

<0092>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is that so?"

<0093> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Being able to laugh together like this everyday."

<0094>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "\m{B}-san, you can't do that at your workplace?"

<0095> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well I do have some free time to laugh like that during break time but..."

<0096> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But if I were to exaggerate my laughs, I'd end up with a headache."

<0097>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's tough, isn't it?"

<0098> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, for a man's kind of job, it's like that."

<0099>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Akio-san laughs a lot everyday."

<0100> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He does, eh..."

<0101> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Doing that, being able to laugh, it's all thanks to Sanae-san."

<0102>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What's your reason for saying that?"

<0103> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "He does nothing but slack off."

<0104>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's true. He always goes off somewhere."

<0105> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why is that guy able to do such things...?"

<0106> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pushing everything on you and stuff."

<0107>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I don't mind it that much."

<0108> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But still..."

<0109> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If it was me, I'd make sure to stay by your side."

<0110>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, then please stay by me, okay?"

<0111> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, you can count on me!"

<0112>
// Hey... wha?

<0113>
// It seems like...

<0114> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (I just confessed to her or something!)

<0115> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (And yet...)

<0116>
// ──Yes, then please stay by me, okay?"

<0117> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Is that okay with you, Sanae-san...?)

<0118>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "......?"

<0119>
// I'm a guy who never learns...

<0120>
// Didn't something similar happen in high school and made Nagisa jealous?

<0121>
// For the sake of Nagisa, I've promised myself to stop acting stupid.

<0122> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Aaaah, what have I been thinking...)

<0123>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What's wrong?"

<0124>
// But, if you were to look at me at such point-blank distance...

<0125> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sanae-san..."

<0126>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, what's the matter?"

<0127> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0128>
// Grumble~...

<0129>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I see, you seem to be hungry."

<0130>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well, I'll be preparing lunch then, I shall leave the shop to you."

<0131> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh, yeah...""

<0132>
// As I saw Sanae-san walk off, I breathed in deeply.

<0133> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Yeah, I really like Sanae-san.)

<0134> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (But as a family member.)

<0135> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (It's different from the love I have for Nagisa.)

<0136> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Ah, that's right...)

<0137> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (To think of it that way...)

<0138> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (It's natural to do so...)

<0139> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Hahaha...)

<0140>
// .........

<0141>
// ......

<0142>
// ...

<0143>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Please do help yourself to the food."

<0144> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uwahh..."

<0145>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes? What's wrong?"

<0146> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (No, I just got a shock that's all...)

<0147>
// On the dining table was Neapolitan Spaghetti, lettuce mixed with potato salad, while beautifully cut-up french bread lined the sides.

<0148> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You just made all of this, right...?"

<0149>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yep, I made the meal."

<0150> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Other than the bread, the rest should be normal... wait, she's a person who can make things beyond the ordinary...)

<0151>
// Though I thought so, not once would I ever say that.

<0152> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's quite thoughtful of you. It looks really delicious."

<0153>
// That was all I said.

<0154>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Thank you very much."

<0155>
// Speaking of the flow of things, after eating Sanae-san's home cooking, from the afternoon onwards it'll only be the two of us...

<0156>
// Moreover, because there were few customers, we chatted idly.

<0157> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Maybe it was good that I took this job...)

<0158>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Huh?"

<0159>
// From the entrance, a kid about the age of a grade school student was peeking inside the store. 

<0160>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "What's wrong?"

<0161>
// Sanae-san asked with a smile.

<0162>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Akio-san isn't in?"

<0163>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes, Akio-san has gone out. He won't be back until tomorrow night."

<0164>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Ehh, at such an important time--?!"

<0165>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is it baseball?"

<0166>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Yeah, though, I'm filling an empty spot in the Little League..."

<0167>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Akio-san said that he'd practice with me until I become a regular."

<0168>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is that so..."

<0169>
// Sanae-san faces me.

<0170> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh... no way..."

<0171>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I'll be fine working alone in the store. Would you mind helping him out with practice?"

<0172> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I'm absolutely no good with baseball."

<0173>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It's okay."

<0174> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What will be okay?"

<0175>
// Sanae-san gently put her mouth close to my ear.

<0176>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Alone, he'll be insecure."

<0177>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's all there is to it."

<0178> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you serious..."

<0179>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes!"

<0180>
// Immediately she turned around towards the kid with her smile.

<0181>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "For today and tomorrow, this brother will watch over you in his place."

<0182>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Ehh?!"

<0183>
// I'm the one who wants to say that in dissatisfaction.

<0184>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "This brother is \m{B}-san, and he's very much like Akio-san, so you can rely on him."

<0185>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Hmm..."

<0186>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Well, whatever."

<0187> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (It's not 'well, whatever'.)

<0188>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well then, \m{B}-san, please take care of him."

<0189> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0190>
// Even going as far as that perfect smile, telling me to take care of him, I couldn't turn her down at this point.

<0191>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Let's hurry, bro!"

<0192>
// But, must I take care of such an impertinent brat...?

<0193>
// The time I was to pass alone with Sanae-san...

<0194>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Hey!"

<0195> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... I got it!"

<0196>
// Painfully reluctant, I left the store.

<0197> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Push-ups, sit-ups, Hindu squats; twenty each, three sets."

<0198>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Ehh?!"

<0199> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Training your muscles is fundamental for anything you do. Don't complain, do it."

<0200>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "You're really like Akio-san..."

<0201>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Here we go..."

<0202>
// Sitting down, he starts with the sit-ups.

<0203>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "One, two, three, four..."

<0204>
// While watching over that figure, I think,

<0205>
// What Sanae-san and even Nagisa had continued to say of me...

<0206> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Is my speech and conduct \bthat\u similar to pops?) 

<0207>
// Even being told that by this child I don't know, I wonder if it was really so?

<0208> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (That kind of person...?)

<0209> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That kind of useless adult top-ranker?"

<0210> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's a shock..."

<0211>
// I hang my head.

<0212>
// And then, over there...

<0213> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Ah, he's there!"

<0214> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Hey, everyone, gather!"

<0215>
// The voices of many children.

<0216>
// Lifting my face, children wearing baseball uniforms were looking at me from outside the park.

<0217>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Please train us in baseball!"

<0218>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Please!"

<0219>
// While shouting unanimously they come running.

<0220>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Hey, it isn't the old man Furukawa, is it--?!"

<0221>
// B-b-b-b-rake----! \shake{4}

<0222>
// They stop suddenly before me.

<0223>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Don't be standing here, wearing that apron!"

<0224>
// They sharply throw at me.

<0225> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Shut up, let me be, okay?!"

<0226>
// A retort in anger.

<0227>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Hii, your mouth is just as bad as old man Furukawa's!"

<0228> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't put me with such a guy!"

<0229>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Copycat!"

<0230> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "There is a copy and there is a real thing! I am simply another person!"

<0231> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Go away, scram!"

<0232>
// I kick the ground, sending earth into the air.

<0233>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Uwah!"

<0234>
// Like baby spiders scattering, they ran off.

<0235> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Phew..."

<0236>
// .........

<0237> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Actually...)

<0238> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Just one day goes by and this comes up...?)

<0239> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Exactly how many kids has this guy been handling...?)

<0240> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I've come back."

<0241>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Welcome back."

<0242>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Nagisa already came back as well."

<0243> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I thought I smelled something, were you making dinner?"

<0244>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes. I thought it was rather inappropriate to leave it all to Nagisa, so I helped out."

<0245> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What should I be doing?"

<0246>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "The store's already closed, so if you don't mind, would you deliver what's left over?"

<0247> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh, pops always does this, doesn't he?"

<0248>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes."

<0249> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, put them in a bag, and I'll deliver around this area."

<0250>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Thank you for your help."

<0251>
// Holding a bag of bread, I left the store.

<0252> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Let's start with this house then...)

<0253>
// After pushing the doorbell, the entranceway slightly opens, and I yell inside.

<0254> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hello there--! It's Furukawa Bakery--!"

<0255> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Okay--!"

<0256>
// The vigorous voice of a housewife comes back.

<0257>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Yes, yes, yes..."

<0258>
// She comes close.

<0259>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Ah, please come in!"

<0260>
// Opening the door, I entered.

<0261>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Oh my, it's been a while. Isn't that you, \m{A}-kun?"

<0262>
// Over there was the familiar face of the regular customer at the time I worked in Furukawa Bakery.

<0263> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hello there. You live in this house? I didn't know."

<0264>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "I'm also quite surprised."

<0265>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "You came back, haven't you? From now on?"

<0266> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, just today and tomorrow."

<0267> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Right now, pops ain't at the house."

<0268>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Oh my, that's tough. What happened?"

<0269> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Someone he knew from way back was starting a new theatrical company, and he went off to Kyuushuu to see it through."

<0270>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Heh... even though in the past, he wasn't the sort of person who could take a break off work."

<0271>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Surely, you'll be around?"*

<0272> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Not at all."

<0273> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides, it's a lot of work. He was persuaded to go off."

<0274>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Indeed."

<0275> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thanks to that though, I've ended up giving up my holidays to work."

<0276>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "You're young, so it's fine."

<0277> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Though that's okay."

<0278> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Here's the usual."

<0279>
// I hand over the vinyl bag in my hand.

<0280>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Thanks as always."

<0281>\{Quản Gia} ""
// \{Housewife} "Akio-san's one to bring a lot."

<0571> \{\m{B}} ""

<0572>\{Nagisa} ""

<0573> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I'm not the one to thank..."

<0574> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides, I also think you should have gone out with someone else up until I met you."

<0575> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Turning them down is bad but, you'd definitely get a feel for going out with someone."

<0576>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Not at all!"

<0577>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's only you, \m{B}-kun!"

<0578>\{Nagisa} ""

<0580> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that so..."

<0581>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."

<0582>
// Though she's been in good condition going to school every day, I didn't think that would be the case.

<0583>
// I was reminded of the kind of guy Nagisa likes.

<0584>
// It's certainly someone that doesn't stand out, but I guess someone just as slow as her, maybe thought of as a little timid.

<0585>
// She'll like them at first sight, but then, the conversation wouldn't go very far...

<0586>
// On the day of graduation exercises, they wouldn't be able to meet each other from that day onward, and she'd give all her courage and confess...

<0587>
// That would definitely be a matching couple from start to finish.

<0588> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Ah, that's...)

<0589> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (The complete opposite of me...)

<0590>
// Thinking that, it was realy amusing the way we've been paired up.

<0591>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What kind of person was your first love?"

<0592> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Me?"

<0593>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, I'd like to hear it."

<0594> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, it's kinda ordinary. It was my homeroom teacher during my first year in grade school."

<0595> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I always yearned for older women a lot more than my classmates."

<0596>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, is that so...?"

<0597>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... I don't think I can live up to that."

<0598> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<0599>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, no, it's nothing!"

<0600>
// We ate Sanae-san's cooked lunch (today was ebidoria), and the three of us again tended to the store.

<0601>
// The inside of the store during the afternoon was quiet, as if the congestion in the morning was an illusion.

<0602>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Will they come today as well?"

<0603> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, who knows."

<0604>\{Nagisa} ""

<0606>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Children?"

<0607> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah.  Yesterday, I was watching over baseball practice."

<0608>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Just like my dad."

<0609> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I'm sure I was completely different."

<0610>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I wonder? You seem so much like him."

<0611> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even if we seem that way, the insides are different."

<0612>
// We continued on chatting.

<0613>
// I was quicker than anyone to turn at someone that was coming in.

<0614>
// Only the child that came from yesterday had peeped in.

<0615>
// He's here.

<0616>
// To be honest, I was happy.

<0617>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Work hard, \m{B}-san."

<0618>
// Sanae-san so pushed me from behind.

<0619>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Good afternoon!"

<0620>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "........."

<0621>
// Even though Nagisa greeted him, he remained quiet.

<0622>
// He didn't exchange glances with me.

<0623> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Wonder what he's holding back from me...?)

<0624>
// I guess he's weak at hanging out with people. Since it's a child, it just fits him better.

<0625>
// I guess even though I'm similar to pops, the inside was different. That was what I felt.

<0626>
// The child probably came in to check whether or not pops had come back yet.

<0627>
// If I tell him he ain't around, he'll probably run off quick.

<0628>
// I guess even for me, it can't be helped anymore, can it?

<0629>
// What would pops do at this time...?

<0630>
// .........

<0631>
// Ah, I know, so I thought.

<0632>
// I couldn't just think about every single thing that person does.

<0633>
// Answering him was simple.

<0634> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, we're having a match today."

<0635>
// I faced the kid, saying that.

<0636>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "...Eh?"

<0637> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "A home run match'll do."

<0638> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Whoever loses will have to buy juice."

<0639>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Ehh?! I definitely won't lose!"

<0640> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry. You'll get many bats."

<0641>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""

<0642> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, Nagisa, I'll be going."

<0643>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay!"

<0644> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You say that but..."

<0645> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I too, am a man that can hit a home run off a fastball like pops did."

<0646>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Can Akio-san seriously throw such a pitch?"

<0647> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Of course."

<0648>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "That's like a step into the major leagues, isn't it?!"

<0649> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, that's right. So, be serious and come."

<0650>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Even if I were serious, it's useless."

// Cla----nk!

<0652>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""

<0656> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Guaah... I was beat by a grade schooler..."

<0657>
// ... as always, I'm quite weak with throwing.

<0658>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Hey, brother."

<0659>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Seems there's a lot of us."*

<0660> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<0661>
// When I turend around, up ahead were a lot of children all gathered up, looking at me.

<0662> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Ahh... amazing...)

<0663> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Changed just from that...)

<0664>
// All of them also wanting to just have some fun.

<0665> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Can't be helped... shall we mix it up?"

<0666> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's fine, okay?"

<0667>\{Đứa Trẻ} ""
// \{Kid} "Just for today."

<0668>
// Feels like a world I haven't seen before.

<0669> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm back."

<0670>
// When I came back to the house. only Sanae-san was tending to the store. Nagisa was nowhere to be seen.

<0671>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Welcome back. Seems you're quite popular with the baseball lessons."

<0672> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You saw it?"

<0673>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I peeped in for just a little bit."

<0674>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You seemed so much like Akio-san."

<0675> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Haha..."

<0676> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I have no idea whether or not that's a compliment."

<0677>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Of course it is."

<0678>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's what I really love about Akio-san."

<0679> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that so..."

<0680>
// Even now, I honestly wasn't overjoyed about it.

<0681>
// But now, it didn't feel bad anmore.

<0682> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Where's Nagisa?"

<0683>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "I think she's watching TV in the living room."

<0684> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Guwahh... what is she doing with all that time?"

<0685>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Well, I don't think it's free time or anything. It seems like some big event happened that she's watching."

<0686> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Event? News broadcast?"

<0687>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Go and ask Nagisa."

<0688> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I suppose... then, I'll go for a bit."

<0689>
// Coming into the room, Nagisa was right in front of the TV, with the light of the CRT flickering on her face.

<0690> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's wrong? Don't stick too close there."

<0691>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0692> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, you're really in a trance there."

<0693>
// Getting in front of the light, I moved right by her.

<0694> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa."

<0695>
// I poked her cheek.

<0696>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Wah... yes?!"

<0697>
// She finally noticed me, looking my way.

<0698> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's wrong? You're in such a trance."

<0699>
// Both of us looked towards the TV light.

<0700>
// Seems like the image coming from the camera was pointing towards the sky, as the cameraman ran in a frenzy.

<0701>
// It was a scene that was particularly foreign.

<0702>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "A bus was hijacked."

<0703> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh? That's kinda tough."

<0704>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "A high speed bus."

<0705> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<0706>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "In Kyuushuu."

<0707> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<0708>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You don't get the idea?"

<0709> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, not really."

<0710>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Think hard about it."

<0711> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, you couldn't mean..."

<0712>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, dad might be on it."

<0713> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No damn way he could."

<0714>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Don't be so confident about that."

<0715> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well... I'm not confident about it..."

<0716>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0717> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sanae-san still doesn't know?"

<0718>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No... I haven't given her the full details."

<0719> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that so..."

<0720> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "So instead of Sanae-san being worried, you were watching alone here the whole time."

<0721>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes..."

<0722>
// I put my hand on Nagisa's hair. And then, softly brushed it.

<0723>
// From the television speakers was a low volume noise of the reporter's voice, announcing the state of emergency.

<0724>
// The bus went to a bus stop and halted there.

<0725>
// There were several nurses dressed in white on the screen, rushing towards it.

<0726>
// The door at the back of the bus opened.

<0727>
// ... I was amazed.

<0728>
// There were old people onboard.

<0729>
// Some people from inside were getting off.

<0730>
// They were all old people, women, and children.

<0731>
// The bus door closed.

<0732>
// And it then ran off again.

<0733>
// I heard Nagisa's sigh of relief.

<0734>
// Without realizing it, I was holding onto Nagisa's shoulder.

<0735>
// Something happening like this by chance was way over my head.

<0736>
// But, why, I wonder?

<0737>
// Why is it that I caught onto Nagisa's worrying?

<0738>
// Why is it... I didn't feel anything "there"?

<0739>
// Abruptly, the phone rang, and Nagisa and I exchanged glances.

<0740>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll pick it up."

<0741>
// She stood up, and took the living room phone.

<0742>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, this is the Furukawa's."

<0743>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, okay... I'll pass it over."

<0744>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0745>
// She hung her head, covering the mouthpiece with her hand.

<0746>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's for mom..."

<0747> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, then call her."

<0748> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I think it's better if we turn off the television."

<0749>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes... let's do that."

<0750>
// After I stood up and turned it off, we called Sanae-san into the room.

<0751> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sanae-san, there's a phone call for you."

<0752>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Ah, yes. Thanks very much. I'll take it as quickly as I can."

<0753>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Yes... yes."

<0754>
// While Sanae-san was talking on the phone, Nagisa did not once take her hand off my sleeve.

<0755> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Wonder who she's talking to?"

<0756>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... Someone that my dad knows."

<0757>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "From the theatrical company that he went to look after."

<0758> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<0759>
// That's how it is...

<0760>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "... Thank you very much."

<0761>
// She hung up the receiver.

<0762>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Nagisa."

<0763>
// Sanae-san called out Nagisa's name.

<0764>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Could you turn on the television?"

<0765>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm... what would you like to see?"

<0766>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "The news."

<0767>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0768>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Please?"

<0769>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes..."

<0770>
// Nagisa took the remote controller and switched it on.

<0771>
// The situation of the reporter continuing the pursuit was quicker than the image.

<0772>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Which channel?"

<0773>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "This is fine."

<0774>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "........."

<0775>
// Sanae-san stared at the image that appeared.

<0776>
// We also gulped down our breath, looking in the same way.

<0777>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You knew, didn't you, Nagisa?"

<0778>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh... what do you mean?"

<0779>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "About the possibility Akio-san might be on that."

<0780>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0781> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is pops on there...?"

<0782>
// I asked in place of Nagisa.

<0783>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "The one who called just now had seen off Akio-san but..."

<0784>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "They mentioned that he might be on that bus."

<0785> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that so..."

<0786>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."

<0787> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Um, Nagisa was..."

<0788> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thinking too much about it, watching it alone, not wanting to make you really worried."

<0789>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Is that so?"

<0790>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Thank you very much, Nagisa."

<0791>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Not at all..."

<0792>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You too, \m{B}-san."

<0793> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I didn't do anything."

<0794>
// The three of us continued to watch the image of a helicopter dispatch.

<0795>
// The people who got off the plane were already going on with more information.

<0796>
// The culprit was a young man.

<0797>
// He threatened with a knife, and turned the bus around.

<0798>
// And then a single man was stabbed, taking injuries.

<0799>
// Stubbornly trying to persuade him away.

<0800>
// ... It was Akio-san.

<0801>
// There's no one else I could think of.

<0802>
// He's not the kind of guy to watch silently.

<0803>
// He's so into that sense of justice.

<0804>
// It looks like the criminal also refused admitting nurses.

<0805>
// How bad was the injury?

<0806>
// If it was just something that was used for threats, then it's fine.

<0807>
// But, if it were a real weapon, and the blood didn't stop flowing...

<0808>
// At the same time...

<0809>
// Yeah, I have a bad feeling about this.

<0810>
// Sanae-san was probably thinking the same thing.

<0811>
// Gripping her hands as if praying, she continued to watch the CRT.

<0812>
// It went to another bus stop, and let other passengers off.

<0813>
// It was so small, I couldn't tell.

<0814>
// There were definitely a lot.

<0815>
// This time, a young man was mixed in the crowd.

<0816>
// The familiar image of pops...

<0817>
// Gritting his cigarette, and always complaining like he always was...

<0818>
// ... was nowhere to be seen.

<0819>
// The door closed.

<0820>
// The bus ran off again.

<0821>
// And the same scene happened again.

<0822>
// If he had gotten off, we would have gotten a phone call right away confirming he was safe.

<0823>
// But... even that wasn't there.

<0824>
// Again, new information regarding the people who got off.

<0825>
// Right now there are only three people in the bus; the criminal, the driver, and the man who was injured.

<0826>
// At the same time the man was persuading him, he was stabbed in the abdomen.

<0827>
// Even though he was unable to avoid it, after being stabbed and sweating heavily with a smile, he continued to persuade him.

<0828> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Ahh... pops really is doing well there...)

<0829>
// From persuading him, all the passengers were let off.

<0830>
// In return, he and the driver were left behind.

<0831>
// While taking serious injury.

<0832>
// We closed our eyes and listened, as each and every part of the situation was explained in detail.

<0833>
// And then, the next bus stop.

<0834>
// The bus remained still there.

<0835>
// From inside the door opening was a figure...

<0836>
// A familiar man and physique.

<0837>
// Gritting his cigarette, and always complaining like he always was.

<0838>
// But, he was leaning over more than usual, in great pain, leaning on the body of the bus.

<0839>
// He was wearing black clothing on top so we couldn't tell, but the jeans were stained in blood, as if dyed in black paint.

<0840>
// He was at a distance from the police. Inside was still the driver being held hostage.

<0841>
// What it was he was saying, was so far, I really couldn't tell.

<0842>
// At this time, I guess they can't get a good look at his face.

<0843>
// The police brought out a bullhorn (or so I think), and threw it to the bus.

<0844>
// The injured man slowly picked it up.

<0845>
// Checking the switch, he then yelled something into it.

<0846>
// I didn't catch it.

<0847>
// As if satisfied, the man once again went into the bus.

<0848>
// And in return, the one who got off was the figure of a uniformed... driver.

<0849>
// At the same moment the driver got onto the ground, the bus door closed, and zoomed off.

<0850>
// With the screeching tires, it made a big u-turn, and left the bus stop.

<0851>
// The patrol cars and ambulance immediately went after it.

<0852>
// The ones left.. is the young criminal, and the wounded man.

<0853>
// Is pops driving it?

<0854>
// Exactly what the hell is he doing?

<0855>
// We lightly held our breath, watching over the fate of this incident.

<0856> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0857>
// A while later, there was a video playback.

<0858>
// It was modified so we could hear the voice.

<0859>
// --We'll be going on a trip now!

<0860>
// So I heard.

<0861>
// --We've understood each other!

<0862>
// --We've become friends!

<0863>
// --This guy has someone he wants to meet!

<0864>
// --A grandmother that raised him when he was only a child!

<0865>
// --It seems like five years ago, she was already bedridden!

<0866>
// --He doesn't know how she's doing but...

<0867>
// --Even so, he's going to see her!

<0868>
// --I'll be by this guy's side, no matter what happens at the time he checks!

<0869>
// --All right, you got that?!

<0870>
// I wonder if the culprit was smiling?

<0871>
// Finding such a heartening friend.

<0872>
// Was he smiling...?

<0873>
// That person will get along with anyone, no matter who.

<0874>
// And let them smile.

// \{\m{B}} (He really is gerat...)

<0876> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Even risking his life, he doesn't bring himself down to that level...)

<0877>
// With a great force, the bus ran at high speed, meandering.

<0878>
// That's how much he was bleeding. He's probably losing his focus.

<0879>
// A trip driving so closely to death.

<0880>
// But, he's probably having fun.

<0881>
// Having a big smile, every time he ran through the traffic strip, every time he leaned the bus over.

<0882>
// The image became blurred.

<0883>
// Before I knew it, tears were spilling out.

<0884> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (What, is this?)

<0885> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Haha..."

<0886>
// Wiping them, I looked at Nagisa and Sanae-san.

<0887>
// Both of them were the same.

<0888>
// Smiling, and then building up tears.

<0889>
// What emotion is it that we're sharing...?

<0890>
// I couldn't really tell.

<0891>
// The picture of the bus continuing to run wild.

<0892>
// It was slowly easing up its speed.

<0893>
// And then, without keeping its curve stable, it crashed into the highway island...

<0894>
// Being stranded there, it had finally stopped.

<0895>
// The patrol cars surrounded it.

<0896>
// One by one, the police broke into the windows, getting inside...

<0897>
// The reporter announced the end of the incident.

<0898>
// The general hospital in the neighboring town.

<0899>
// A gloomy atmosphere floated in the flourescent-lighted hallways.

<0900>
// The doctor was telling Sanae-san the best they could do.

<0901>
// The situation afterward will have to rely on the person's own life force.

<0902>
// Pops saved a lot of people's lives...

<0903>
// And, probably saved that young man's mind...

<0904>
// But...

<0905>
// I saw the side of Sanae-san's face, continuing to wait in prayer.

<0906>
// For the person who could disappear at any time...

<0907>
// For the person who did unreasonable things at any time...

<0908>
// And, I couldn't help but feel pity for Sanae-san continuing to wait...

<0909>
// I thought the entire time,

<0910>
// Pops is a great guy.

<0911>
// But, was he a great husband?

<0912>
// What was Sanae-san to pops...?

<0913>
// She's the same as a lot of other people.

<0914>
// I couldn't help thinking that.

<0915>
// Was there a single thing that he could only swear to Sanae-san?

<0916>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "........."

<0917>
// I took my glance off her.

<0918>
// God, somehow...

<0919>
// Please make it so that this person won't feel sad.

<0920>
// I so wished.

<0921>
// Akio Epilogue 

<0922>
// Pops continued to sleep throughout the day.

<0923>
// And then, the second morning after.

<0924>
// Taking a change of clothes as I came back, I bumped into Nagisa as she was off chasing in haste.

<0925> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What's wrong?"

<0926>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, \m{B}-kun!"

<0927>
// She caught her breath, saying that.

<0928>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Dad disappeared!"

<0929> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Wait... what do you mean? He regained consciousness?"

<0930>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. Probably... he woke up, and strolled around..."

<0931> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Guwaah..."

<0932>
// I covered my face with my palm.

<0933> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Geez, what is he doing...?"

<0934>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "He's still wounded, so he should remain inside..."

<0935>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It would have been better if he didn't go too far..."

<0936>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Mom's looking for him right now. Please help out as well, \m{B}-kun."

<0937> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay. Then, I'll look outside."

<0938>
// We split into two groups. I began looking for pops.

<0939>
// Sanae-san's probably also looking somewhere else.

<0940>
// Surely unheard of.

<0941>
// For a patient to cover up where he was going right after regaining consciousness...

<0942>
// To begin with, the wound's painful, so he shouldn't be able to move.

<0943> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (So unreasonable...)

<0944>
// If he was fine, it would have been better if he showed us a smile.

<0945>
// Beisdes, how long have we been anxiously waiting?

<0946>
// He doesn't know, does he?

<0947>
// ... There he is.

<0948>
// He was seated at a bench, looking down at the ground.

<0949> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pops, what are you doing there?"

<0950>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Tch... you found me."

<0951>
// He looked at me with an unpleasant expression on his face.

<0952> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Are you playing hide-and-seek? Everyone's worried sick looking for you."

<0953> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even though you're wounded, it's ridiculous to be doing this..."

<0954>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hmph... I guess."

<0955> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Come on, let's head back."

<0956>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Ah, wait, let me take a little longer of a break."

<0957> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why are you being so reckless..."

<0958>
// Pops took out his cigarette box, and put one in his mouth.

<0959>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I met the police just now... they told me."

<0960> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"

<0961>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "As I figured, his grandmother's already passed away."

<0962>
// At that moment, I couldn't understand what he said.

<0963>
// Police...

<0964>
// Certainly, they also came yesterday to visit Sanae-san.

<0965>
// They probably told the person that they had caught just now.

<0966>
// In that case, it's definitely about the young man.

<0967>
// The grandmother he's talking about is probably the person the young man wanted to meet.

<0968>
// That person already passed away...

<0969> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Really..."

<0970>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "But, well, the culprit's probably distracted."*

<0971>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I wonder if he was already prepared..."

<0972> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, that was thanks to you, right?"

<0973>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Really?"

<0974>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Because, he's the one who pushed the brakes."

<0975> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... eh?"

<0976>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Just as I was on the verge of losing consciousness, he went, 'That's enough'."

<0977>
// ... Well, that's because of you, isn't it?

<0978>
// But, I didn't say that anymore.

<0979>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Well, that's what the police also said when they came to interview me, see..."

<0980>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Though I had come from them just now..."

<0981> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...... Huh?"

<0982>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Ow, ow, ow... this is ridiculous after all. The wound might open again..."

<0983>
// Pushing down on it, blood dyed around that area of his pajamas.

<0984> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pops..."

<0985>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Well, whatever. If I smoke this cigarette, I'll be nice and head back today."

<0986>
// He lit the cigarette in his mouth.

<0987>
// He really... \preally is an amazing person.

<0988>
// He has something that he holds onto that no one else can ever do.

<0989>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Woah... seems I've been found again."

<0990>
// Pops was looking behind me.

<0991>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Akio-san."

<0992>
// When I turned around, Sanae-san stood there.

<0993>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yo, Sanae."

<0994>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "........."

<0995>
// Sanae-san looked at pops' body, and tears came to her eyes.

<0996>
// She's probably worried sick.

<0997>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Akio-san, you can't anymore..."

<0998>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "You always disappear on the spur of the moment."

<0999>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "........."

<1000>
// He puts out his cigarette in an ashtray nearby.

<1001>
// After that, he slowly got up.

<1002>
// And looked straight forward, without mincing from pain.

<1003>
// At Sanae-san.

<1004>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I..."

<1005>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "ain't gonna disappear."

<1006>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'll always be by your side."

<1007>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "So..."

<1008>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Feel at ease, Sanae."

<1009>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "........."

<1010>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Okay..."

<1011>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Please stay by me!"
