Chapter 4: I Want to See the Ocean
Ryouta: So next week is the field trip.
Ryouta: Kuroneko,
Ryouta: You've never seen the ocean before, right?
Kuroneko: Never.
Ryouta: So you're really looking forward to it right?
Kuroneko: Not really.
Text: A memory from the distant past. The words exchanged between childhood friends under the starlit sky---

Page 2
Ryouta: You seem really really excited about it...
Kuroneko: No!
This is only practicing, just in case!!
Box: But Kuroneko...
Text: Died without ever seeing the ocean.

Page 3
Box: How many times...
Box: Have I seen this dream...
Title: Trips in Kamakura
Ryouta: In Kamakura...
Ryouta: There is the ocean...

Girl: I'm hungry-!!
Girl: I'm hungry-!!
Girl: I'm hungry-!!
Neko: You're hungry...
Neko: I'm going to the mountain for a bit.
Girl: No-!!
I'm sick of wild grass-!
Neko: ...
We don't have the luxury to pick.
Ryouta: Yo.

Page 5
Ryouta: You're pretty noisy.
Neko: ...
Girl: ...
Neko: What's this nice smell...
Ryouta: Huh?
...You could tell?
Ryouta: But there isn't really anything that smells...
Ryouta: I bought some food.
Girl: Kyaaah-------!!!
Neko: What, what!? What do you have!?
(Personal note: Wow, those lashes)
Ryouta: Well...just stuff like yakisoba bread...
Neko: Yakisoba bread!!
Ryouta: And cake and such...
Girl: Cake!!

Page 6
Ryouta: But can you eat?
Girl: Of course I can, you incompetent fool!!
I'll die if I don't eat!
Neko: Kana-chan can't chew...
But she can drink.
Ryouta: I see...
Neko: Kana-chan, look...
It's cake...
Kana: Cake!!
Uwah-!! It's been 10 years-!!
Box: ...
Box: Could it be...
Box: That they haven't eaten proper meals since they ran away...?
Neko: Such pretty cakes....
Kana: So cute!!
Neko: Let's eat the cake together...
Ryouta: You're eating the cake first...?
Neko: Alright...let's prepare the cake then.
Ryouta: Huh?

Page 7
Kana: Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Neko: Here's tea.
Ryouta: You get electricity and gas?
Neko: We have electricity but no gas.
So we have to boil water or cook with firewood.
Ryouta: ...
Firewood...
Neko: Kana-chan, there's one cake left.
Let's save it for later, alright?
Ryouta: Ah, that cake is for me though.

Page 8
Ryouta: Whaaaaaat!?
Ryouta: That's nothing to cry over!!
Kana: Ah-!!
Don't make Neko cry----!!
Ryouta: Sigh...
It's fine, go ahead and have it.
Neko: Really!?
Neko: Then I'll be taking it.
Ryouta: ...
Box: With Kuroneko's incident...
Box: I avoided girls, and because of that, I don't know how to deal with them anymore...

Page 9
Box: For for some reason...
Box: I want to be here always.
Box: Is it because Kuroha looks like Kuroneko...?
Box: Just how much did I like her...?
Neko: If they find me...
Neko: I'll be killed...
Box: If I leave them like this...
Box: They'll die.
Box: I don't...
Box: Want to lose Kuroneko ever again.

Page 10
Ryouta: Oh yeah, Kuroha.
Have you never seen the ocean before by any chance?
Neko: Huh?
Neko: ...
Neko: Don't insult me.
Neko: Of course I've seen at least that.
Box: ...Oh, she has.
Ryouta: This.
Ryouta: A guidebook for lodges.
Ryouta: There's a summer trip organized by the school next weekend.
Ryouta: You should come too.
Kana: Next...
Kana: Weekend?
Neko: ...

Page 11
Neko: I can't go.
Ryouta: Why not?
Neko: Isn't it my choice?
Why do you care so much?
Ryouta: ...
Ryouta: I told you before.
Ryouta: How my childhood friend died...
This was right before a field trip to the ocean that she was really excited about.
Neko: I told you to not mix the two of us.
Ryouta: I know.
But I dream about it every night.
Ryouta: I want to show you the ocean.
Ryouta: It feels as if that will atone for what happened with her...
Neko: Thank you for the food today.
But...
Neko: Please go now.

Page 12
Kana: You actually want to go, don't you?
Kana: Go ahead.
Neko: You know that I can't.
Kana: Yes you can.
Kana: If you use my life.
Kana: I'm very grateful to you.
And I'll die right away anyway if you're not around.
Kana: And so...
Neko: Kana.
Neko: Don't ever say things like that again.
Kana: ...
Neko: By the way,
Kana: Yeah?
Neko: What is the ocean?

Page 13
Box: It was unreasonable of me.
Box: To want to show her the ocean in place of my dead friend.
Box: I don't understand at all.
Box: I always lose my judgment when it comes Kuroneko...
Ryouta: ...
Ryouta: Hah...
That's not it.
Ryouta: I'm trying to distort my feelings with reasons again.
Box: In reality...
Box: I just thought it would be fun to go with Kuroha...

Page 14
Neko: Good morning.
Ryouta: Ah...!
Ryouta: You...came to school?
Neko: Yeah.
Neko: I'm...
Going to the trip after all.
Ryouta: Huh!?
Neko: It's not because you asked me.
Neko: I just want to see the ocean again after so long.
Neko: So...
I want to get used to school.
Neko: Since it'll be weird to only participate in the trip, right?
Ryouta: ...
Ryouta: What happened with you...?
Neko: What? You have a problem with it?

Page 15
Ryouta: Your nose is bleeding.
Neko: Huh?
Box: But the next day,
Box: Kuroha didn't come.
Box: Can't be...
Box: She can't just show up for one day...
Box: She came to school again the next day.
Ryouta: Wha...
Box: But she was covered in bandages.
Ryouta: Kuroha...
What happened!?
Neko: ...
Neko: A cold.
Ryouta: Huh!?
Box: She wouldn't tell me the reason she's hurt.

Page 16
Box: And the day after that,
Box: She didn't come to school again.
Box: Just...
Box: What's going on with her?
Box: When she comes tomorrow...
Box: Maybe she'll have worse injuries.
Neko: I can't go.
Box: ...
Box: That's right...
Text: She said "I can't go".
Box: Not "I don't want to go"...

Page 17
Box: Why didn't I notice it until now!?
Box: Why did I say something like that!?
Box: There...isn't enough!!!
TN: Since it doesn't say what, my guess is something like medicine to keep her alive.
Girl: Neko!!
Neko!!
Girl: Hold on!!
Ryouta: Kuroha!!
Ryouta: !?

Page 18
Ryouta: Kuroha!!
