Chapter 3

P60

When we were in elementary school / Kanda and I broke the classroom clock when we were playing catch // I just kept making up excuses so we wouldn’t get in trouble and Kanda stood next to me looking at the ground

K: It’s not Ikeuchi-kun’s fault / I’m the one who threw the ball / I’m sorry

Oh / he stood up for me / I’m embarrassed that all I did was cry / I thought Kanda was a good guy / that’s what I thought

I: Eh?
K: Ohh no no // I thought if we apologize quickly she’d forgive us quickly too

P61

Kanda is that kind of a guy

I: Shit…

I: What… / why do I have to take a friendly train ride with you? // Forget it / Just tell me where she went and you go home!

I: What…?

P62

K: Oh… // It’s no time to be smiling / sorry…

K: You wouldn’t speak to me so…I just got happy that you spoke…
I: Wha…

K: Don’t think things are going your way, idiot!! // You’re always like that!! // You always think I’ll forgive you if you act sad!

I: This time… / is different / you disgust me // Kanda

K: I know…

P63

I: And?
K: Eh?
I: I’m telling you to tell me where she is!

I: Do you even really know where Minami is!? / just tell me where and go home!
Girl: so annoying // yeaahh

K: Sorry… / I can’t do that

I: Why…? // why!

P64

K: If she’s where I think she is / she’s probably hoping that we come together

I: Wow… // you know everything about Minami // where she is / why / and what she’s waiting for

I: What the hell

I: I don’t… / know anything // Why did Minami run away from me? / She didn’t want to be with me? // She couldn’t bear to be with me more than she couldn’t bear to be without you? // What did I… / ever do

P65

M: Oniichan! / I made this / it’s for you!
I: Minami… // I never thought she hated me

K: Minami-chan likes you
I: It’s a lie

K: I’m sure you don’t want me to say it…
I: You got that right

I: Minami and you / everybody… // I can’t believe anyone / you two made things this way

I: My mom // and dad // and even Minami // everyone runs away when things go bad / …so they’re okay with betraying people…

P66

K: Ikeuchi, you should go with me / that’s best
I: What / you’re saying all this but you just want to see Minami don’t you!

K: Yeah…
I: You…

K: I’ve been worried about her since she left / If I didn’t want to see her in a situation like this…if that’s all she was to me // we wouldn’t have / ended up that way

P67

K: Ha…

K: Haha…

K: Don’t shrug off your mistakes now // you hentai

P68

I: What is this place…I have no idea where we are
K: Excuse me

Old man: Yes?
K: Can you please help?

P69

K: Ikeuchi
I: Huh? / oh…it’s still far ahead

K: No, the bus we need to go on to go past the mountain has stopped running for the day // but he said we can stay with him
Old Man: we don’t have anything though
I: Wha…no

Girl: There are no buses so there’s no use in trying to rush / but I guess you’re both boys so you can camp out here instead if you want

Old Man: Oh really // that’s so great that you friends are traveling together!
I: Yes…

P70

I: What am I doing…

Minami could be suffering all alone right now // and I can’t even get to her by myself // relying on Kanda // and having strangers help me

Girl: What’s wrong?
I: Oh

P71

I: I… / just wanted to cool off a bit
Girl: Eh? I thought my dad made you drink too much

Girl: Hmmmm

I: Um… / I’m okay now
Girl: Oh yeah? / Do you want me to leave?

Girl: I can leave but your face says “Poor me~ worry about me~”
I: Huh?
Girl: …you’re releasing that type of aura~

I: Uh… / am I!?
Girl: yeah / pretty much

I: That… / might be kinda true

P72

Girl: Hmmm

Girl: So / “you can’t reveal the details but your sister has been treated horribly” // and you can’t forgive it / Mr. big brother
I: Right…

G: Hmm…
I: She’s my family so I’m worried

G: But / did you sister come crying to you that she was mistreated?
I: No… // my sister… is still a child so she doesn’t realize…

P73

G: Hmmm… / I don’t think you should worry about it too much

G: You warned her and got angry with her right? / and you know / your sister isn’t always going to listen to you as she grows up

I: But… / she’s still a child / so I have to protect her
G: Yeah / and it’s good that you take care of her

G: She’s your family and you’re worried about her… / and it’s your will to want to protect her and it’s something you should do because only you can do it // but it’s pointless to force it / children have their own will too / and she’s trying to become her own person

P74

G: She told me, “When she comes to me I’ll help her” // “Why don’t you take that stance?” // but that’s for a regular problem right? // what Kanda did is a crime // I can’t let it go

K: Ikeuchi…
I: All through the night

K: Kanda apologized to me for a while / how he didn’t want to hurt me and how he really cared about Minami // so what? / I didn’t respond…

P75

K: Thank you very much
Old Man: Oh yeah drop by anytime

I: Thanks…
Girl: Well, good luck // come again

K: I’m glad some nice people helped up / I wonder if everyone is like that around here
I: Hmm // I bet we were just lucky

P76

K: That girl
I: Hmm?
K: Isn’t his real daughter

I: Really?

K: He was drunk and told me / when his son refused to become the successor of the house he looked for someone that would / then the girl came forward amongst all the boys
G: If you really become my family // I’ll do anything beyond becoming a family member

K: But / that family was really / a “family” in some sense
I: Yeah… // at least more than mine

K: But that old man / he reminded me of your dad
I: HUH!?

P77

I: Not at all! / what are you saying Kanda! / that useless father… // why are you comparing such a nice man to him?

K: I don’t think so….your dad was a great guy / I can’t understand why he left but still

I: He just put up a good front! / he didn’t care about us at all and he was just a boring man // he left us because he didn’t care

No one else can understand // what it feels like to be betrayed or have your sister taken advantage of

P78

I: Here…?

I don’t know this place at all

P79

I: Kanda… // What are you going to do / once you see Minami?

K: I don’t know
I: You don’t know?!
K: Really

K: I really // don’t know

K: Ikeuchi…
I: Hm?

P80

M: Oniichan! // and Kanda-kun!

I: Minami…!!

P81

I: You idiot!! // don’t make me worry… / so much!

M: Don’t blow it out of proportion! / it’s only been 2 days
I: One day is long enough!! // leaving like that… / I almost died from worrying about you!

I: Aw / thanks for coming all this way… / I’m sorry

I: Mina…
?: Minami

?: The noodles are ready

P82

I: Dad…
