Title: Chapter.99
A Town Where it Rains

Page 66:
Akari: ......
It's so strange......
Handwritten: U... Uuuuh....
Hina: Yeah.
It...
sure is, huh?
I-
I wonder what happened...
Well, I'm pretty sure...
we were saying before 'We've gotten a bit plump lately so how about we go pick lots of vegetables and make a nice menu?☆'
Yeah! And...
'Let's make a healthy soboro and turn it into lettuce roles! ☆
Wrap anything in lettuce and it becomes health! ☆
----It ended up going like that, didn't it...?
Lettuce: Lettuce
T/N: Soboro is minced meat or fish with soy sauce.

Page 67:
Both: So we made 'Tofu and ground meat sweet-and-salty miso soboro'
and 'natto and egg
salt onion soboro'...
Yeah!! Tofu and natto!! That's sooo healthy for you! ☆ We even had vegetable sticks...
Then we wrapped it in lettuce and ate it, right?
Lots of fresh lettuce!!
Yeah! Zero-calories!! A totally innocent, perfect lineup!!!
Yeah... And wrapping that up with a mouthful of rice on it makes it...
even tastier!!
Right?! We had multiple times more vegetables than usual!
Handwritten: Isn't this deliciou~~s? ☆☆
SFX: POWAWAAAN
Both: ...So then why do we...
have this terrible... 'What have we done' feeling...?
...Hey, Kiriyama...
what do you make of this?
Rei: Well,
first you ate a ton of vegetables...
Handwritten: Ummm...
SFX: KACHA KACHA
Rei: ----And also the amount of rice you started putting in the wrapped lettuce increased more and more over time... ["amount of rice" bold/big]
So uh... that might've been it... ya know?
Girls: Huh? No way! We increased the amount of rice?
Oh no!! Why didn't you say so, Kiriyama-kun?!!

Page 68:
Girls: Why didn't you stop us, Kiriyama-kun?!
Rei: I... I'm sorry...
You three just looked like you were really enjoying your meal...
So I just...
Hina: KYAHHH! Onei-chan!
The rice bowl is empty!!
Akari: What? That can't be! I could swear I made 4 gou to...day...
T/N: A "gou" is an old unit of measurement equal to 0.1809 liters.
Akari: KYAAA NOOOOOOO!
SFX: KARAH (Empty)
Handwritten: Noooo
ooooo....
Reo: Well,
umm...
I'll wash the dishes, okay?
SFX: SOOOOOTTO... (Quietly)
Hina: W...
Wait, Rei-chan!
Hang on, I'll...
Handwritten: Help ou~~t
SFX: YORO YORO... FURA FURA... (Shaky)
Rei: It's fine, Hina-chan.
Handwritten: Waaa
She looks like she's really in pain.
Aka: Oh no! It's already 8 o'clock?!
Momo, a bath. You need to get in the bath!
KYAH! Oh no! Her stomach's all bloated!
Handwritten: (Right) KYAA!
(Left): Oh dear!! She's like an ikameshi!
SFX: PANCHIKURIIIIN...
T/N: Ikameshi is a dish of cooked squid stuffed with rice.

Page 69:
Akari: Hmm? What's wrong?
Oh, I see. You're embarassed since Rei-chan is here, huh...?
Handwritten: Now, now...
Rei: Ah, I'll just close the door.
Akari: You're a big girl, after all, aren't you?
I'm sorry. This is how our house is laid out.
Rei: No, it's fine. Excuse me.
I see.
I've been going home early all the time
out of concern for Akari-san and Hina-chan's bath time, but...
if I take Momo-chan into consideration, too... then I may have to leave even earlier.
Handwritten: Hmm...
SFX: PATAN
Hina: Wh...
Why can I never stop eating rice once I get started...?
Rei: Hmm,
I'd say it's because Akari-san's rice is just too good.
Handwritten: UUU
SFX: JYAAAH
Rei: Oh,
that reminds me.
How've your club activities been going recently, Hina?
SFX: KACHA... KACHA...

Page 70:
Hina: Ah,
well, next meeting
we're going to pickle hatsuka daikon!
SFX: PAAHHH
Rei: Hm? What? It is a 'Hand-Made Club', right?
You cook there, too? It's not all handicrafts?
Hina: That's right!! Like I said, we're gonna make pickles out of hatsuka daikon!!
They were already budding today! [Heart]
Hey, Kiriyama-kun, did you know that hatsuka daikons and radishes are the same thing?
Handwritten: Hih? Is that what the 'hand-made' part is?!
Rei: Really? I didn't know that.
That's good. It looks like she's having lots of fun.
She's talking a lot about her club.
It must be really enjoyable for her.
I'm really glad.
Handwritten : And, AND, we're gonna put them in the jars,
so we're collecting empty jam bottles now!
And then, Tsugumi-chan, she said next time we can go to Kappabashi Street together.

Page 71:
Rei: Hm.
She reminds me of something.
Hina: And then, after that,
I'm gonna go with Tsugumi-chan to buy one piece bathing suits
and I'm gonna try to challenge her this summer!!
Handwritten: PICCHURU PICHU CHUH CHURURURU SUPIPISU
Rei: .......
......Java sparrows.
SFX: SHITA SHTA SHTIAH SHAKA SHAKA
Rei: I see.
Hina: Huh?!
Wh-
What?!
Rei: Uh,
nothing.
Handwritten: HUUH?!
Wha~~t?!
SFX: ZAAAH PU...
Black Bars: The first time I heard the name 'Rokugatsu Town' was
an evening in December during a light rain.
T/N: Rokugatsu = June

Page 72:
Black Bars: When I saw it
Sign: Rokugatsu Town
Bars: I thought it sounded like the name of a town where it rains all year round.
The scenery of warehouses and square buildings quietly soaking in rain
seemed to be blurring and soaking through me.

Page 73:
Rei: I'd thought that once I'd become a pro, I would leave home.
I didn't think that there would be good things waiting for me up ahead.
----But I felt like in that town, I would be forgiven.
If I could just blend into it.
Even if I couldn't be happy.

Page 74:
Rei: But now that I've crossed that bridge,
I have found the light of Sangatsu Town
and I am in that light.

Page 75:
Rei: Life can't be calculated.
One way to measure it is to say 'The future is a closed book', 'Anything beyond the present is shrouded in darkness',
but the opposite
is also true plenty of the time.
'Light is 3 minutes away'.

Page 76:
Rei: But it's a little scary.
If there comes a day when this light drifts far way,
----then
what will I do then?
U-
Uhhh...
Uh...?
Huh?! Oh man!!
It's past 9?!
Hold on, when did I stop?!
You're kidding me, right?!
I've got a rank-deciding match today!!
Handwritten: UUU WAAA

Page 77:
Rei: Oh well!! I'll take a taxi to Tokyo Station!!
----And I'll transfer to Ochanomizu from the Chuuou Line and I'll get to Sendagaya in 15 minutes.
If I can just get a taxi quick!!
SFX: DAH
Rei: Huh?!
Hang on, is this that legendary, uh, you know what?!
Handwritten: White Bread
This is like that 'Oh no! I'm late! I'm late!!' thing.
Aah! Taxi!!
Thank God!!
SFX: KIKIIIIIIH
Rei: ---I wasn't actually
able to find an answer to my question last night,
Do I have enough......?
Yeah, just barely.
so I just focused purely on my match today
and did nothing but look over game notations.
I can probably get there 10 minutes before.
If I'm late I get a penalty triple the amount I'm late by!!!

Page 78:
Rei: Whenever I run into a problem I can't solve, I always end up turning to the game board.
I used to worry that that might be 'running away',
-----but now
All you can do
is do what you're able to do one thing at a time.
I remember
that palm on my back back then.
All I can do
is do what I'm able to do
one thing at a time.
All riiight!! I made it!!
With 13 minutes to spare!!
