I’ll go home tonight.

[091-1] Chidzu: . . .

How’s work?

I worked really hard today!
I wanted to finish up early.

[091-3] ~Chidzu: . . .Why are you here?

[091-4] ~Tooru: I came to see you.

[091-5] Chidzu: . . .

Are you working tomorrow, too?

[092-1] Chidzu: You won’t get home till the middle of the night.

[092-3] Tooru: . . .Don’t worry about stuff like that.

SOUND PAT

[092-4] Chidzu: . . .I’m not.

I’m happy.

[093-1] Chidzu: I’m happy.

[093-2] Chidzu: . . .

[093-3] Chidzu: . . .Um. . .

By the way. . .

Tooru: Hm?

[093-4] SOUND TWIRL

[093-5] SOUND STAND

Tooru: Oooooh!

[You twirled, you twirled!]

Chidzu: Wh-

What do you think!?

[093-6] Chidzu: I’m wearing a miniskirt.

[094-2] Tooru: Oh. . .

You’ve always run around with your legs uncovered, Chii!

~Chidzu: [Yay!]

[094-3] Tooru: You’re as cheerful as ever!
I’m an old man now, so it makes me a little lonely!!

[I’m especially lonely today, so I’m impressed!!]

Caption: [Shit!!]

Chidzu: He. . .

He’s used to seeing my legs!!

[094-4] Chidzu: You’re not old. . .

[You’re 24, right. . .?]

Tooru: [Ahaha]

24 is old to someone your age, isn’t it?

[094-5] Chidzu: [Haha, I wonder. . .]

He. . .

He’s treating me as much like a kid as ever.

Even though I have such nice legs. . .

[094-6] Chidzu: Ahhh. . .

What the hell. . .

[095-1] Chidzu: My poor, neglected thighs.

[095-2] Chidzu: . . .A convenience store?

Huh?

Hey, where’s your car today?

[095-3] Tooru: You’re asking a lot of questions today.

SOUND CHING

Tooru: [I left it at home.]

[095-4] Tooru: We never rode around in the car back in the day, so. . .

Chidzu: Yeah?

[095-5] SOUND BREAK

FWAAA

Tooru: I thought we could walk around together.

[096-1] Tooru: Here’s a nikuman (meat bun),

and

this one’s an anman (sweet bean paste bun)!

[096-2] SOUND FWA FWA

[096-3] Tooru: We used to eat these all the time, didn’t we?

Chidzu: . . .

Yeah. . .

[096-4] ~Chidzu: Nikuman,

anman.

Nikuman,

anman. . .

[096-5] ~Cashier: Which one would you like?
~Chidzu: [Hmmmm]

If I eat something sweet, I’ll want something salty.

But if I buy two, I’ll use up my allowance.

[096-6] And if I eat two and spoil my appetite, my mom’ll kill me!!

~Cashier: [Th-that’s a shame.]

~Chidzu: [But I want sweet and salty!!]

~Voice: I’ll take one nikuman and one anman.

[097-1] ~Tooru: Here,

we’ll each take half of each!

~Chidzu: [Waaa!]

[097-2] ~Tooru: Don’t tell Ryuu!

[097-3] Tooru: Huh?

Do you not have enough?

[097-4] Tooru: [I see.]

You can probably eat a whole two by yourself now.

[Sorry, sorry.]

Chidzu: . . .No,

this is better.

[098-2] Tooru: --Ah,

look.

[098-3] Tooru: Over there!
That lamp post!

Chidzu: Hm?
Tooru: I used to come here on the way home when I went out in high school.

In the summertime, there would always be this kid standing under the post.

[098-4] Tooru: And I’d think, why is there a kid out this late!?
And then I looked closer. . .

Chidzu: Eh!? Is this some kind of occult story!?

[098-5] Tooru: It was you, Chii.

[Hahahaha.]

And you had this huge stag beetle.

[Man, I was shocked then.]

[It was 3 o’clock in the morning!!]

Chidzu: . . .

[099-1] Chidzu: I. . .

I remember that. . .

SOUND BLUSH

Chidzu: [I used to get up really early as a kid.]

[Aha.]

[My mom used to get so mad.]

[099-2] Tooru: And then you used to come home with me!

[099-4] ~Chidzu: Tooru!
What’s that star?
~Tooru: Hmmm, I don’t know. . .Big Star!

~Chidzu: Ahahaha, Big Star!

~Tooru: All I know is Orion, really.

~Chidzu: Where’s that?

~Tooru: Can’t find it!

[099-5] Tooru: It was a winter constellation.

[100-3] Tooru: The sky is really dark in the country.

[100-4] Chidzu: . . .You sure. . .

have a good memory. . .

[101-1] Tooru: . . .I do.

[101-2] Tooru: You fell down over there once.

[101-3] Tooru: And we used to buy food and eat it outside there.

Chidzu: . . .Tooru. . .

[101-4] ~Tooru: Chii!

Chidzu: . . .was always

smiling. . .

Tooru: I used to walk down this road a lot.

[102-1] Tooru: With you,

and Ryuu.

[102-2] Chidzu: Now

we’re on Ryuu’s jogging course.

Tooru: And over there,

on that field

[102-3] Tooru: is where Ryuu made you cry!

[Ahaha]

Chidzu: !!
SOUND GAAAN

[102-4] Chidzu: Y-

You sure have a good memory. . .

[Seriously. . .]

Tooru: Does Ryuu still make you cry?

[102-5] Chidzu: N-

No!!

[103-1] ~Chidzu: Stupid Ryuu!!

SOUND WAAAAH

~Chidzu: Ryuu makes me so mad!!

Chidzu: No!!
He didn’t make me cry!!
I’m telling you, he didn’t make me cry!!
Tooru: [Heeh.]

Chidzu: Only!!

[103-2] Chidzu: . . .

I just got mad and blew up at him. . .

. . .

[103-4] Tooru: . . .Ryuu is kind.

[104-1] Tooru: He doesn’t lie.

. . .You two are close.

So there’s probably a lot he can say that would piss you off.

[104-2] Tooru: Stuff that wouldn’t make you angry if someone else said it.

Chidzu: . . .

[104-3] Chidzu: . . .Yeah. . .

[104-4] Tooru: . . .Aha.

[104-5] Tooru: So you’ve come to have that kind of fight with Ryuu now.

[105-1] Tooru: Your uniform

looks good on you.

[105-3] Tooru: . . .

Wow, she’s in high school already,

I thought.

[106-1] Chidzu: . . .

SOUND SQUEEZE

[106-2] Chidzu: . . .I thought. . .

[106-3] Chidzu: . . .you’d always be messing around, and never get married. . .

Tooru: [Ahaha]

That’s uncharitable.

[106-4] Chidzu: . . .

[Gulp.]

[106-5] Chidzu: . . .Why did you want to get married?

[107-1] Chidzu: . . .You’re. . .

only 24. . .

[107-3] Tooru: . . .I thought, I want to be with this person for the rest of my life.

[107-4] Chidzu: . . .I, too. . .

[107-5] Chidzu: . . .thought that, ever since I was little. . .

. . .

Your girlfriend seems airy and cute. . .

[108-1] Tooru: Ah. . .

[Ahaha.]

[108-2] Tooru: She may look like that, but she’s really strong.

Chidzu: After all. . .

[108-3] Chidzu: No matter how nice he is to me,

or how many memories we have,

or whether I’m a high school student,

the neighborhood girl is still the neighborhood girl. . .

[108-4] Chidzu: . . .

I see. . .

[109-1] Tooru: . . .Chii.

[109-2] Tooru: Try saying “Chii.”

[109-3] Chidzu: Eh. . ?
[Wh-Why do I. . .]

Tooru: Just do it.

[109-4] Tooru: Do you know why I call you “Chii”?

[109-5] Chidzu: . . .

No. . .

Chii?

Tooru: Enunciate more.

[110-1] Chidzu: . . .?

Chii?

[110-2] Tooru: . . .Yep.

There you go.

[111-1] Tooru: You smiled.

[111-2] ~Tooru: Chii.

Chii!

[112-1] ~Tooru: Chii!!

[112-3] Chidzu: Tooru.

[113-1] Chidzu: I love you.

[113-5] Tooru: Me, too.

[114-2] Chidzu: . . .I thought that’s what he’d say.

That’s not what I mean, you dope. . .

[114-3] Chidzu: . . .But. . .

[114-4] Chidzu: I’m happy.

. . .Tooru. . .

I. . .

Tooru: Hm?

[114-5] Chidzu: I’m not your sister, or even a relative. I’m just the neighborhood girl, but. . .

The next time

you come home. . .

[115-1] Chidzu: . . .

Can I come see you?

[115-2] Tooru: . . .

Silly girl.

[115-3] Tooru: Don’t say such standoffish things!
SOUND WSH WSH

Chidzu: !

[115-4] Tooru: . . .I think of you as a little sister.

[116-1] Tooru: I might even spoil you more than Ryuu.

[116-2] Tooru: . . .

SOUND SMILE SMILE

Tooru: Don’t tell Ryuu, okay?

[116-3] SOUND MMPH

[116-4] Chidzu: . . .Your little sister, huh?

I’m sure

he shows lots more different faces to his girlfriend,

[116-5] Chidzu: but

I’m happy.

[117-1] Chidzu: I understand that I’m important to him.

[117-2] Chidzu: He’ll always

be like a big brother to me.

[117-5] Tooru: Chii!

[118-1] Chidzu: . . .Tooru!
Congratulations!!

[118-4] Tooru: Hey!

Did you go running?

[119-1] Ryuu: . . .Where’s Chidzuru?
Tooru: I took her home!
Ryuu: Are you going home?
Tooru: Yeah, I’ll be back soon.

[119-2] Ryuu: . . .Wait a second.

SOUND RUMMAGE RUMMAGE

Tooru: [?]

[119-3] Ryuu: Here.

[It’s the bread.]

Tooru: You’re a man who keeps his word.

[It’s like a reward.]

When did you get this?

Ryuu: . . .? Yesterday?
[Huh?]

[119-4] Ryuu: . . .

It’s probably still good. . .

[It’s winter, after all. . .]

Tooru: . . .

[Thanks.]

[119-5] Tooru: Hm?

[119-6] Tooru: Whoa, you’ve gotten big, too!

You’re going to be taller than me soon!

Ryuu: I am.

I’m still growing.

[120-1] Tooru: Hmm?

[120-2] Tooru: . . .You

and Chii

are both bad at expressing yourselves.

[120-3] Tooru: Good luck.

SOUND PAT

[120-4] Tooru: You suit Chii, Ryuu.

Ryuu: . . .Aniki.*

Tooru: [“Aniki”!?]

*Aniki is a more grown-up and manly form of address than Onii-chan, which is what Ryuu had been calling him previously.

[120-5] Ryuu: I

think so, too.

[121-1] SOUND ZA

Tooru: [He is a boy, after all.]

[I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.]

Mrs. Yoshida: Huh, Ryuu-chan?
Chidzu’s not with you?

[121-6] Ryuu: No.

Mrs. Yoshida: Oh!

She’s been out so late, so I thought she must be with you. . .

What the hell is that idiot doing!?
[She won’t answer her phone, either!!]

[121-7] Ryuu: . . .

I might know where she is.

I’ll go look.

Mrs. Yoshida: Oh!

Thanks, Ryuu-chan!

[122-1] Mrs. Yoshida: She’s like that, but she is a girl.

[122-6] SOUND ZAN

[123-1] Ryuu: Shall I comfort you?

[123-2] Chidzu: . . .Are you being considerate or trying to start a fight?

Ryuu: Neither.

Chidzu: What the hell?

[123-3] Chidzu: Why did you come here?

Ryuu: Because it’s the last place we hung out when my brother lived here.

[123-4] Ryuu: The day he left for Sapporo,

you were here, too.

[123-5] Ryuu: . . .When you weren’t at home, I thought you were probably here.

[124-1] Chidzu: . . .

Didn’t I tell you not to talk to me for a while?

Ryuu: Okay,

then I won’t talk.

[124-4] Chidzu: . . .

[124-5] Chidzu: I’m just kidding. I’m sorry. . .

[125-1] Chidzu: . . .That day

was your birthday, too. I’m sorry. . .

[125-2] Chidzu: . . .This year,

I was the only person celebrating your birthday, too.

I’m sorry. . .

[125-3] Ryuu: . . .Well.

You’re probably the only one who remembers my birthday.

[125-4] Ryuu: . . .Thanks,

for the bag.

[125-6] Chidzu: . . .It was you, wasn’t it?

Who called Tooru.

[126-1] Chidzu: He said you called him and said, hey are you hungry? I have some bread.

Ryuu: . . .

Chidzu: I’m not really upset, you know.

[126-2] Chidzu: Thanks to you, I got to spend three and a half hours with Tooru.

. . .I was happy.

Thanks. . .

[126-3] SOUND ZA

[126-4] SOUND ZA ZA

Chidzu: . . .

It’s just like you said. . .

~Chidzu: Did you know I loved him, that there was no hope?

[127-1] Chidzu: . . .I don’t think

I ever really thought it would come true.

[127-2] Chidzu: . . .Maybe. . .

he was just

the older brother I admired. . .

Ryuu: I know.

[128-1] Ryuu: I know

that you really loved him.

[129-1] Chidzu: . . .Console me,

Ryuu. . .

[131-1] Chidzu: That was the year's

first day of snow.
