[P.g 05]

Good morning~!

Morning!

Ugh! First period is physics?! // Sonobe’s classes are always so boring.

>>

Ooh that dumpling looks super tasty.

Really? I’ll bring one for you next time!

>>

SFX: shaka shaka


[P.g 06]

A morning like any other.

>>

This is the noisiest time of the day until homeroom starts.

>>

Hurry up… Is the teacher not commin’?

>>

Takekasa-san.

>>

Class rep…

>>

It’s…Ono-san.

Wh-what?

>>

When school’s finished we’re all going to do karaoke.

A get-together with all the girls from class.


[P.g 07]

Do you want to come along?

Hey, Takekasa-san, you don’ really talk much do ya? // But ya like to sing, right?

I mean, you’re always listenin’ to stuff.

>>

Erm… I…

We-well…

>>

Karaoke…

>>

Sorry…

I have plans today…

>>

Why is everyone else so laid back?


[P.g 08]

There’s no way I can sing in front of others.

How do you even start to sing? What do you sing?

>>

Ahh, I’m famished!

You wanna have lunch together?

Sure!

>>

Ever since I was little,

I’ve noticed…

>>

That I hate everythin’ that everyone else likes.

I’ve no interest in other’s interests.

>>

SFX: Bing bong bang bong~


[P.g 09]

SFX: breath

>>

I normally come to the Kamogawa River,

And take a deep breath.

>>

I hate big crowds.

That’s it. I normally go home along the river.

>>

That old lady is always there, thinkin’ about somethin’.


[P.g 10]

How much more can I take,

Before I get used to all that?

>>

SFX: screech

>>

Oops…

>>

SFX: su-click su-click

Wh-what?!

>>

Ahhh~~~ Watch out! Watch out!

Move it! Move it~~~!

SFX: jolt

>>

Hehehe, Sorry about that.

You ok?

>>

Am…

Am I ok…? How about you?

>>

Well this isn’t good. Not good at all. The breaks are completely bust.

I should’ve been more careful with a cheap rental.


[P.g 14]

Sorry for making you keep guard.

It-It’s fine! // No… one’s comin’ right now, so hurry!

Ah! Even my panties are soaked. // Gonna have to take ‘em off.

SFX: tap tap

>>

Sorry to make you wait

SFX: poke


[P.g 15]

So… you just moved here? …3 months ago?

Yeah! School starts tomorrow so I thought I’d do some sightseeing! // This is Kyoto after all.

>>

Er…erm… Well, that was a disaster wasn’t it?

I’m not wearing any panties so it’s super breezy down there.

>>

But, you know. No one was hurt, and the clothes I just bought were in a bag so they didn’t get wet. // I’d say we were pretty lucky!

Even though you fell in the river?!

>>

I got to meet you because of it!


[P.g 16]

I’m Aya Takayashiki.

Nice to meet ya!

>>

Erm…Well…

I…

>>

I’m…Miki Takekasa…

It’s… nice to meet you…

>>

So you a high schooler Miki-chan? What year?

Erm… first year.

Really?! No way! Me too!

R-really?

>>

Hey, you up to anything now?

Why don’t you show me around?!

Eh? // Erm… well… I’m not doin’ anythin’ but…

>>

I don’t really get out much, so I don’t know anythin’ about Kyoto…

Ohh, really…

>>

Well then…


[P.g 17]

SFX: Squeak hisss

>>

SFX: bu~

>>

Ok // let’s go!!

Eh… wha… // Where are we going…?!

>>

Somewhere~ I don’t know~ // Where our feet go. Where we want to go. Let’s just try it…

B… But we can’t!! // Won’t we get lost if we just go wherever?!

>>

Lost…

>>

Hey, great idea Miki!!

SFX: point

SFX: jump


[P.g 18]

Let’s go get lost!

>>

Lost…

>>

SFX: za~~

SFX: caw

SFX: la la la~

>>

Erm… Takayashiki-san…


[P.g 19]

We’ve… made our way into what looks like a sacred mountain… We’ll be ok… right?

Ah!!

>>

Miki-chan! Look! Look!

Wh-what?

>>

Hahahaha!!

What is this? A Jizo*?

*Jizo is a Buddhist deity entrusted with protecting the souls of children. Small statues of him are common in Japan.

>>

SFX: ka-cha

Ah!

>>

Hey… Takayashiki, shouldn’t we be headin’ back soon…

Ah, ducks!

>>
Coz, you see…

She’s got baby ducks! Ducklings!! They’re sooo cuuute!

>>

Ju…


[P.g 20]

Just listen!!

>>

Wh…What have you been doin’?

We’re… lost, right? We didn’t bring a map…

>>

Wh... why are we just wonderin’ around?

We really are gonna get lost… // Uh

>>

Waaahh

>>

SFX: pat

>>

There, there.

Don’t cry.


[P.g 21]

You hate this, don’t you Miki-chan?

>>

Whaaat…

Do I hate…?

>>

Playing.

>>

…

Wha…?

>>

Hey? Where do you think we’re going?

We… We’re not goin’ anywhere…

>>

Exactly!!

Exactly Miki-chan!

And that’s ok!

SFX: squeeze

>>

You need to have a goal in order to get lost.

Eh…?


[P.g 22]

For example, you have appointment, or there’s a shop you want to go to…

It doesn’t matter what, but you have a goal, and if you don’t reach that goal, you’re lost… right?

>>

So we can’t possibly be lost.

>>

Because we don’t have any goal!!

>>

Is… is that really true?

Heeheehee

It’s the truth Miki-chan.

>>

You see we’re not actually lost, we’re pretending to be lost.

Pretendin’ to be lost?

>>

Yep. We’re just playing pretend. // We’re just playing, so Miki-chan, you don’t need to worry about getting home.


[P.g 23]

A road, a scenery you don’t know.

The sounds, the colors, the smells.

Let’s take it all in and have some fun.


[P.g 24]

Some fun…

>>

Shall we go then?

>>

Yeah.

>>

Hah

Hah

Hah

Oh…


[P.g 25]

Wow…

Ohh!

>>

Amazing! What is it?!?!


[P.g 26]

I think… it might be an old aqueduct...

Ohh. Really?

Yeah, I saw it in a textbook once…

>>

Takayashiki-san. L-Look!

Wow!!


[P.g 27]

So pretty…

>>

I didn’t know any of this was here. // I’ve always lived in Kyoto but…

>>

Hee hee hee. Is that right, Miki-chan?

Eh?

>>

You’ll find, the world has a lot more fun things…

…that you don’t yet know about.


[P.g 28]

Hah, I sound like an old lady.

Hehehe

>>

Yeah.

>>

I don’t normally enjoy the things around me…

>>

But…

I suddenly found myself thinkin’…

Maybe that’s not the case…

>>

After all…

I was laughin’ back then.


[P.g 29]

And then…

Another morning like any other.

>>

I was supposed to find a world full of fun things.

But…

>>

There’s no way I could do somethin’ like that

On my own

>>

Ok everyone.

Take your seats!!


[P.g 30]

Ok. We have a new transfer student today.

>>

SFX: clatter

>>

Please write your name on the board.

Yes ma’am.

Ta…

No way!


[P.g 31]

Takayashiki-san?!?!

SFX: CLATTER

Ahhh!
