P168
P169
What are you doing?
P170
Shinta: Who are you?
Spirit: Why are you picking up those branches?
S: I’ve going to dry them and use them for firewood // I’m going to burn them Spirit: Why burn them?
S: Because I’m cold… Spirit: Is it bad to be cold?
S: It’s better to be warm Spirit: It’s better to be warm?
P171
Spirit: Why? S: His breath is not white…
S: You…?
Shinta!
P172
I gotcha…! Spirit: Warmth is…
Oops?
P173
I made a mistake S: Mom! / I’m over here!
Mom: Oops // you’re wearing the same thing so I got confused
Mom: Who’s this? / he’s not from the town is he? S: I don’t know him!
Mom: you may not but you two were speaking…you’re friends now // here / come with us I have something warm for you
P174
Mom: Aren’t you cold? Come closer
S: He’s weird, he says he likes the cold Mom: That’s silly / here you go
Mom: Sorry it’s a little smelly
Mom: It’s hard to take off all the fur / so it’s smells a little raw… S: Mom, some more Mom: Okay
Mom: After you eat this, you should go back… / it’s getting dark S: Ok…
P175 Mom: What excuse did you use to get out today? S: I said I’m gathering firewood
Mom: How much did you gather? S: That much!
Mom: Give me your hand
Mom: You’ll get in trouble if you bring back only that much wood / take this to the head of the village // he is collecting these rocks
P176
S: It’s a wishing stone right? / it’s pretty
S: If I made a hair piece with this it would be nice / then I’ll give it to you! Mom: Then I’ll look for more
Mom: Ok! // now go home
Mom: I’m going to walk him to the hills / you can stay here until you’re warm
S: When can I see you again? Mom: Just watch out around the mountains / I’ll send you another signal…
P177
Mom: Sorry to keep you waiting / by the way…
P178
Mom: It’s already dead
Are you a mountain spirit?
If you are… // I have to ask for a favor…
These are wishing stones / that are said to grant wishes // but no matter how much I wish they don’t come true // so I want to ask you directly for help // hey
I want to see my child everyday / even now
Can’t you do something…? / it’s that middle house there… Spirit: Impossible
P179
Spirit: The human village has a spiritual barrier // we cannot enter it from the mountains
That village is very strong / there is a risk that the balance will be thrown out of control
Mom: I see… / it’s impossible
Spirit: If seeing him is enough…
P181
P182
Mom: he looks well / good
Spirit: is that / “warm”? / hm?
Mom: Yes very / whenever I see him // my heart / is very warm Spirit: Your heart?
P183
Mom: Thank you
I want to / thank you // so come to my house
This time I’ll give you something really cold
It’s not that I can never see him… / like the other day
P184
Mom: He makes excuses // when I signal him
And we see each other for a little bit
You… / can’t go into the village…like me // I can’t go in either
My grandfather accidentally killed someone mistaking it for a deer… / and three generations of his family were kicked out // we can’t return until three generations have passed / and I am the third // my son Shinta / is able to live in the village
P185
Mom: So I’m here in the mountains alone / killing beasts and skinning them even though I don’t have to
I’m sorry… / it must smell really bad, no?
I’m glad / you’re a really nice / spirit you are
So… / why
P186
Mom: Are you in the form of a child? // why / does your height / and clothing // resemble my son?
Come over here
Spirit: I’m cold // that’s why // I want to know “warmth”
P187
Spirit: If the flame and the heart is “warm” // I want to touch it
Mom: You shouldn’t / it’s better you don’t // the flame / and heart // cannot just be warm
Aahh…
P188
I want to see him // and live together // I don’t want anything else The ice… // is melting
Spirit: I can’t heal your sickness / what should I do? // What should I do?
According to the woman
Mom: I know a way
The head of the village has medicine that cures everything in his house / in order to trade the spirit of the mountain collected handfuls of the stones / but the mountain spirit is of the mountain / he can’t enter the village
P189
The woman / put some fur on the spirit Mom: You might be of the mountain but the fur can enter the village
Spirit: Really?
Mom: Trust me
The woman said // he should enter after her signal // and she watched the spirit leave
P190
She removed her door and burned it
S: Mom / she’s calling me
Mom: Okay you can go We can live together
S: Oh yeah
P191
Mom: Wait! // wait! / mountain spirit!!!
The spirit of the mountain is of the mountain / even if he wore the fur // the barrier still broke
The sin
P192
Swallowed // the village
P193
P194
Spirit: I…
Mom: You don’t have to know my heart…
It’s not warm // it’s like burning mud / you would…
Melt completely
P195
The woman used the spirit of the mountain to destroy the village // only thinking about living with her son // from the realization that he had been fooled // or from the despair of being left behind // or from the warmth of a human heart… // he disappeared / and spring came to melt everything
P196
That is one of the stories in which the wishing stone and this lake originates
The wishing stone is a stone that grants wishes // but whether a wish really was granted // that is a story from long ago https://mangahelpers.com/t/shirokuro/releases/11144[English] [Translation] Asatte no Houkou Omake 21 by shirokuro2009-04-06T02:24:44+00:00shirokuroadmin@mangahelpers.com**This translation was a request so please do not use without permission. thanks :)
K: No matter how many times I make them // they don’t taste exactly as they did before
So we’ll be going home now / but if you need anything give us a call, we’re only 20 minutes away by car // should we make dinner before we leave? // no? / okay…
P155
Today is the first time we’ve met
How should I
Start our relationship?
Hiro: Are you // hungry?
K: Uh / I’m okay / yes
P156
H: Let’s eat something
I don’t want her to eat cold leftovers
K: Am I…hungry?
But
P157
Mom’s leftovers…
K: I didn’t have an appetite all day
H: Maybe I can at least make egg rolls
P158
H: Just give me a few minutes
H: I said at least… // but I wonder if I can even make egg rolls…
When I was over in America // I never really did household chores // I would wear my clothes straight from the hanger after putting them out to dry // Shouko always said I was lazy
K: Wow / Hiro Oniichan you can cook!!?
Hiro Oniichan is amazing // he can cook! / I’ve only folded handkerchiefs when I helped around the house
I have to help // uumm…
P159
But she wasn’t // very good at cooking either
I’m sorry / I’ll call you //once things are settled a bit
Uhhhm…. / sugar….sugar?
I can’t believe it Is it the pink one?
I can’t believe I’m so helpless
H: It’s ready!
K: Should I get the plates out? // and drinks // oh there was juice over there
I didn’t know
I couldn’t do anything
P160
K: Thank you Hiro Oniichan!
K: It’s / very good!
H: really? Great / my turn to eat
P161
H: They’re salty! // crap, it was salt? // but she said they’re good
I see, the egg rolls this girl likes…
K: Nothing I ate all day had any taste // but the egg rolls oniichan makes are tasty
The egg rolls oniichan makes are …
Salty
We have to learn more about each other from now on
P162
A: I like them… / to be sweet…
K: Hmm?
This is what I thought // after eating he salty egg rolls K: NOOO / don’t eat them all! / they’re so Hiro-nii! A: Haha I already ate them!
P163
Humans // live in the “present” // but are unable to feel the “present” // everything we see and touch becomes the past the second we see and touch them // the action of trying to look and touch is our attempt to know the future // and we are unable to do anything about the future which always remains unknown but full of possibilities // the past is fixed based on everything we’ve done and nothing can be erased
P164
But when we decide to move forward // the “present” is definitely exists right under where we stand. https://mangahelpers.com/t/shirokuro/releases/11030[English] [Translation] Asatte no Houkou 21 by shirokuro2009-04-03T04:08:14+00:00shirokuroadmin@mangahelpers.com**I've skipped ahead to volume 4 as a request to translate volume 4 and 5. since this was a request, please ask me before you use it for anything! thanks!**

Growing old and ugly // and slowly walking towards death is a frightening thing
Amino: That’s fine
Final Chapter
A: That’s why you had the guy in the hat // snoop around about Iokawa?
P106 (103)
A: It’s pretty pointless though
A: You can’t fix your mistakes or choose another path in your past / all it does it switch your age Grandfather: That’s exactly what it does
G: Nothing can be compared to youth
G: You don’t seem too surprised
G: Are you just dumbfounded / by my selfish request?
A: No / that’s not it // uhmm…
P107 (104)
A: It’s just that even if you use the wishing stone // hmm how do I put it / I can’t explain it very well // but I always thought you were satisfied with yourself
K: You’ll become wrinkly and everyone will hate you
A: They call you the local squire / and admire you // you’re smart and know everything // and you’re calm and never make mistakes
A: But / I’m just a kid
A: I’m always doing stupid stuff / and the only thing that’s big about me if my height // and I can’t even make my own money
P108 (105)
A: I hate myself for being such a kid… // I don’t have anything
G: Of course if you switch with me // everything I own becomes yours
K: Yes hurry // growing old is frightening // you must escape it
A: Oh but even if we switch / I’m dumb so I might slip // then you have to make up for it
A: But I guess everyone says I looked like you when you were younger // and we have the same name so it’s fine
K: Look, it’s all going accordingly
G: You’re not…scared?
P109 (106)
G: Aging is… K: Your body that used to move freely begins to ache // and deep wrinkles haunt the face // and you grow closer to death
A: Aging? // Growing older? // I don’t know / to be honest // I don’t know about the future…
G: Is it just youthful ignorance?
A: But
P110 (107)
A: If I can become like you // I don’t think it’s so bad
G: Is that how // I had been able to // grow old // until now
G: I thought they were memories from many years ago… / but for me to bring up something like this // means Kikuko’s thorns were in me deep
P111 (108)
G: I’m sorry Tetsumasa… // for now
G: Let’s place it on hold K: Aren’t you scared!?
G: Plus, this is only half / of the whole stone // nothing can be done with just half // but the other half should be here soon
K: Come with me // stay young // and beautiful
G: I’m in the middle of plotting a trap to capture a witch
P112 (109)
P113 (111)
Y: Neesan!
Y: That’s why I told you it was dangerous to run! S: Yumi…

S: What do I do? I couldn’t follow Kikuko-sama’s request!
S: What do I do? // the guest I went to pick up… / never came! // I’m going to get in trouble again!
S: I’m scared… // when we had bad mouthed her the other day… // she heard it / and she got very angry
S: I was there too… // but you’re the only one…? // Neesan
P115 (113)
Y: Neesan // let’s go home / let’s just leave
S: Home…?
S: But if we go home // we’ll just be hungry // and be cold again? // I don’t want that…
S: If we bear it all here we can have food to eat and clothes to wear and have a room… Y: What happens when Kikuko-sama grows sick of us?
Y: It’s okay
P115 (112)
Y: We’re not little children anymore
S: But how do we go home?
Y: I received a note that says if we can bring the half of the wishing stone Kikuko-sama has // we can receive the second ticket…
P116 (113)
K: I will go get the other half myself… // Prepare my things so I can leave / I ended up not being able to find anything besides this… // I’m close to me end
P117 (114)
K: Wait! / Where are you taking that? // SAE!! // YUMI!! // Where is Yumi!!?
K: Yumi…
P118 (115)
K: It’s okay as long as you’re here // you cannot go anywhere // not like you have anywhere to go // Sae is just smart // but she can’t get anything done // I wanted to see the person / who used the wishing stone up close… // I’ll have to tell her again next time
P119 (116)
K: If there is / a next time
Y: Don’t you // need to // go get the stone back? K: It’s okay
K: Even if she unites the stone with Tetsumasa-san’s half / it won’t work // the final piece // is in your tooth Yumi // it’s getting dark… / it must be tough for Sae with that leg of hers
P120 (117)
S: What if it were Yumi?
S: What if it were // Yumi’s legs?
S: You can’t even tell the difference between us
K: SHOW ME YOUR TEETH!!!
P121 (118)
K: It’s not here… / Sae…!!
S: The wishing stones are already…

A: You can go back to school now! / and be a kid again!!!
S: Isn’t that great? Karada-chan!!
S: Karada-chan…?
K: Oh…. / yes
P124 (121)
K: Um… // can we do it somewhere / that has something to do with the stone? // like that shrine! H: Didn’t you two switch in the laboratory?
K: Oh / but the first place I made the wish is there so
H: Let me call a taxi… K: Oh / no…
S: Let’s walk!! // the stone won’t run away from us now
P125 (122)
A: She should just… / turn back already // if it was the usual Iokawa…
A: I wouldn’t have felt // that way
S: What’s wrong?
A: Oh yeah // I know Iokawa’s reasoning / but why did you // wish to turn back into a child?
P126 (123)
S: I didn’t want to be a child again // I somehow got involved in this…
H: I’m so glad / we found the wishing stone // now… / everything will return to normal
P127 (124)
K: Yes… // everything will be / back to normal again H: Karada…!
Please listen to our // wish
P128 (125)
The world
K: Is it going to be all the same when I turn back…
Is made up of two things
K: I’m going to be a lot of trouble for the adults around me // What wish did the stone grant? / what…
Things you can do / and things you can’t do
P129 (126)
K: If I turn back nothing will change and even if I don’t nothing will change
And the proportion
Of things that can’t be done is much larger
H: We will change things
But
P130 (127)
H: Even if you cause trouble or have trouble caused on you We
K: But / I… // I’m not…
H: To put it another way… // you can’t cause trouble for strangers
Are trying hard // and swaying back and forth
H: We’re family so it’s alright

P132 (129)
In the past and the future and in between
P133 (130)

S: Kikuko-sama fainted and…
Y: Let’s get out of here… // and call an ambulance
*crack*
P134 (131)
K: Were you the bad one, Yumi?
K: One was for Tetsumasa-san / to use // so we can live young together forever // that fool… // but there / is still one more // my piece

K: the wishing stone // my
“wish”

H: Letter…!?
H: Shouko…
S: I suddenly wanted to travel… // you’re so surprised H: I thought you could return to work like I did…

P145 (142)
S: because / you // still like me don’t you?
H: What an old letter…
Letter: Dear Hironii this is a letter I didn’t have a chance to send out
H: When’s this from? Letter: Between dad and mom and Youko Mama and me
We all wrote you a page each to you // it’s a letter to you so I didn’t open it for a long time
After you read it // please let me read it afterwards

S: Iokawa-kun! / can you come with me after school to pick up the donation books from the library? I: Sure!! / Sasazuka-senpai
Classmate: they’re so close A: They’re just both library staff
Classmate: I heard they eat lunch together too. Is that okay with you? A: Doesn’t matter to me…Iokawa and I are // just friends
P147 (144)
S: You guys are going out to play again? A: Why does it matter what we do afterschool?
C: What about you Iokawa, you’re on a date? I: Absolutely not!!
A: Nope! / Sasazuka-senpai is in love with Yumi
S: Wha // why do you say things like that!!
I: Oh / I see…
P148 (145)
P149 (146)
The moment of right “now” is instantaneous
And is always moving
S: Nakamiya-san… / suddenly returned to her home country… // even though I wrote this for her…
We were forced to know // that its impossible to stay in the same place
P150 (147)
That’s why
Man 1: Haha I found you
Man 1: It’s Iokawa-kouhai’s Man 2: Lunch box check time!
Man 1: I didn’t think we’d eat Karada-chan’s egg roles again // I’m glad you’re back! // huh?
Man 1: Aren’t these sweet? // I thought it was / “our egg roles are limited to salty ones that Hironii loves!”
P151 (148)

Y: I do know… / just one story
S: Tell me!
Y: Once upon a time…
There were two girls living together // and they had one old basket // they called the basket the “bread basket” // but // there was never any “bread” inside // this was because they didn’t have any bread // they didn’t have…
P81 (77)
Y: Any money to buy the bread
The two were sisters that were very close // they looked alike // and were always very hungry
Sometimes when they did get bread they always split it in two // so the basket was always empty
The two of them said // “I wish we had a basket full of bread” // “a basket that’s always full” // the two had remembered this // from a story that had been read to them in the past
P82 (78)
But their basket // was not a magical basket // if they wanted to eat // they had to show off some tricks // if they couldn’t do any tricks… // they decided // they would dance
Their dance became very popular // and their basket filled up
Man: Wonderful
The two were invited to dance at the circus Man: You can wear pretty clothes Girls: will you give us bread too?
P83 (79)
But day by day // it was no longer enough to just sing and dance Man: Learn new tricks!
The Circus leader put up posters all over the city about a “new show”
Girls: we can’t do it yet! The audience wanted to see their new tricks
Man: Do it!
The rope broke // and one of them // injured her leg // very badly Girl: Neesan!!
P84 (80)
The circus leader gave them a little bit of money and kicked them out Younger sister: Neesan…does it hurt? Older sister: I’m fine…
The two were once again // all alone
They used all their money on books and instruments
One sang and one danced // that’s how to get money // and how to get bread Younger sister: Look neesan! / this was in between the pages… // it’s a page of the picture book / there’s a picture of a basket!
Older sister: Be quiet…! // I’m studying right now!!
Don’t weave a red sarafan
P85 (81)
Stop it mother, it’s useless // it’s too soon to take out the ribbon / the ribbon looks so nice // it’s popular among the young
Woman: don’t sing / the second verse of that
Woman: I don’t like it A black witch appeared in front of the girls
The witch says something to them // she wants to ask for a favor // if we agree she will fix the sister’s leg // and she would fill their basket until it overflowed
P86 (82)
And she brought the sisters to a far away land S: is that about you and your sister?
Y: it’s just a story What should I say
S: what’s the rest? Y: That’t the end I don’t know what to say
I S: Oh…
S: So can I write… // the continuation? / the girls will be very happy in the end
S: they were taken to the southern islands / and they finds a magical bread basket // and she makes many friends! // and the girls live happily together!!
P87 (83)
Y: Thanks!
Y: That’s the end of the girl’s story / but I remember one more story S: oh? // I / want to hear it! Y: It’s one I learned in Japan / it’s about a black witch
P88 (84)
Y: It’s the story about / the witch’s past
I was thinking of starting a store on the Mashu land
I want to know how it goes / I want to know how much power the Japanese empire has Kid: are you ready?
Kid: Not yet!
By the way / Nakamiya just returned from there
How was it? / the economy is good? // we would like to follow in your footsteps Kid: ready now?
P89 (85)
Kid: Ready? Response: Not yet
I heard about Nakamiya / they adopted a child… // yes they have no children…
Woman: oh / I said not yet Kid: Who are you…?
P90 (86)
Woman: I am Kikuko / hello
Man: Oh there he is // Tetsumasa! Show her around
T: yes sir
T: Sorry hide and seek is over Kids: ehhh I was so excited to play with you Tetsumasa niisan! // me too… T: I’m sorry
T: Please come this way… // we have horses over here
P91 (87)
I heard that / Kikuko-san is a blood relative of the Russian noble family… // she is a mix breed of half Japanese
It’s information that should not be mentioned in these times… / I would appreciate if we could… I understand
P92 (88)
K: Wow… / mandarin oranges? T: Seville oranges
T: They are not edible during this season, they’re too bitter / maybe some of the old ones that have been hanging for years… K: The ones that have existed for so long without falling off… // a timeless fruit
K: I heard it’s medicine to live forever…
P93 (89)
T: Oh! Don’t! / it’s dangerous so I will…
K: Oh no / you’re bleeding…
T: There are thorns on these / so you have to be careful
P94 (90)
P95 (91)
I have to ask you / for a favor Amino… // can you show me the “wishing stone”?
Kikuko says she wants to see it // she loves mystical things like that
P96 (92)
K: Did it come out?
T: Yes! / probably…
T: Uh / um // is there anything else you’d like me to get? K: Yes…
K: I want the “wishing stone”
P97 (93)
Kikuko
K: Father!
K: How was the wishing stone?
Where’s Nakamiya? He’s going home today // I had prepared a room in case he wanted to stay
Well…I guess it doesn’t go that easily // the front is that she was adopted // but in reality…right?
I’m sorry Kikuko / it’s not possible K: What!! / I was so excited!
She’s more a granddaughter than a daughter / how old is she now…? She looks 16 or 17 but…
P98 (94)
T: Um! There’s a stone that’s similar to the wishing stone // does that not interest you?
K: I don’t want some useless stone // I can’t use it for anything…
T: What will you // use it for?
P99 (95)
K: You’re not playing hide and seek?
T: Yes // I’m not that young anymore / Kikuko-san
P100 (96)
K: It’s been almost 10 years since we last saw each other // you have grown so much T: You haven’t changed a bit, Kikuko-san
K: Oh?
T: Where is Mr. Nakamiya today…? K: He has been bed-ridden for 2 years
K: Today // I asked for a portrait around here // and came to pick it up
T: Oh yes…
T: Should I find // the “wishing stone”?
P101 (97)
K: Really…?
What am I saying T: Yes I will bring it here
At the time I was the only one in this large house
My father had already retirement // as the head of the family it’s up to me what I do with this stone // when I saw Kikuko again today…
I had begun to feel
K: Oh! / this is it…!! // this! This stone! / can I have it!? Ever since she took the thorn out of my finger
That I wanted to do anything for her
P102 (98)
T: Sure, you can have it… K: Thank you!!
At that time Kikuko didn’t take the thorn out
K: I have another wish // can you break this in two?
K: And hide it in a place I can’t find // if I hold on to it I’ll use it all up!! She put a thorn into me
K: Are you ready? T: Not yet That thorn
Went through my veins, past my heart
And into my brain K: Now? T: Yes, now
And stuck there
P103 (99)
That thorn would release some sort of poison that would sweetly numb all feeling in my brain so I could no longer think // otherwise there was no way I could believe such a strange story K: The wish that the stone grants / is eternal life!! // you can switch ages with someone you wish to trade with // a child can become an old woman and an old woman a child // you don’t go back in time so you can keep your inheritance // and the more pure it is the higher the possibility // sometimes there are useless stones that can have the same effect… / but the way it happens is…
She never said when but Kikuko left // after that I married my fiancée and had a child when I was 26 // it was a girl
That daughter married // and our grandchild was a daughter // and when I was 56 a grandson was born
Father // can you name him?
P104 (100)
In that moment // I remembered // Kikuko’s dreamlike story // the freighting words K: If I’m going to switch I want to do it with a relative! / since we’ll look alike!
Mother: His eyes are like fathers As I aged I felt it again
K: It’s okay to switch with someone that doesn’t look completely like me… / it might be easier to take care of it that way
Within my hardening brain cells // Kikuko’s thorn sunk deeper and deeper
The poison… // brought forth the truth // and I felt the inevitable aging of my body // and I suddenly // wished T: How about // Tetsumasa like me? https://mangahelpers.com/t/shirokuro/releases/10770[English] [Translation] Asatte no Houkou 15 by shirokuro2009-03-27T03:14:42+00:00shirokuroadmin@mangahelpers.com**This was a request by a group so please do not use it without permission!

Chapter 15
Amino: Oh
P138
A: There you are senpai
Sasatsuka: He’s back again…
A: Did you find something new?
About what?
A: About what? The “wishing stone” of course!
S: You…that uniform…
P139
A: Oh this! I bought it A Text: I’m going to wear it next year anyway / and if it gets small I’ll buy another one S Text: you bought it just like that…
A: I felt bad borrowing yours for so long / and if I wear this and enter it won’t be so obvious!
S: It’s obvious… Text: there aren’t that many students Classmates text: hey…you..Sasatsuka…you’re friends with Amino? // wow… S text: uh yeah…a little…
A: Soo / there’s nothing new? S: No! // don’t come asking me so many times in the week / you’ve got so much time…
A: fine… / I’ll search for it myself today
P140
A: If you find out anything tell me okay?! // thanks! S: Why do I have to do so much…
P141
S: Amino! / Are you listening…
S: Ah!
S: Ah // uhmm… //hey…
P142
S: Tha…thanks…?
S: I wonder if she’ll notice me...?
P143
What a beautifully colorful // picture book
P144
That book isn’t really supposed to be on that shelf // someone must have put it there not caring to put it in the right spot // she’s looking at it…
S: Oh that / I like that book too // but I can’t tell anyone because it’s childish…
S: Yes! She smiled // yes! Yes! It’s // a recommendation!!
Since then // I always put my recommendations on that shelf for her
P145
Yes that’s the best part!! // and that part is very touching // she looks like she’s enjoying herself
Text: I’m so…gloomy…
Is what I thought…
I thought she wasn’t very expressive but now I know she has many // I was happy that she liked the same books as me at first
But now I want to talk to her about everything S: Umm…so…put your name…on the card…
The twin that likes picture books
P146
Is Yumi-san…
A: Hey this part…
A: What the hell…if you have plans you don’t have to stick around! S: Oh / uh // sorry… // why am I apologizing…? Text: not plans…
Ah…
P147
S: Returns…are on…this shelf
S: It’s… // a nice day out!! // what am I saying!!!
S: Oh…I failed…?
Yumi: Yes, it is
S: Amino would probably say / “that’s not a conversation” but
S: Go me!
P148
S: What should I say to her next time // maybe about the books she might like
She was looking for the stone too
No they’re looking for the “wishing stone” // I have research… / I didn’t promise Amino I wouldn’t show anyone else
Then will she face me // and throw me a great smile? I’ll tell her about the “wishing stone” / I wonder if it’ll make her happy
P149
Kikuko-sama / we’re home
Do you have anything you’d like us to do? Kikuko: No / I don’t // look
K: I want you to / look at this // I had them bring it here from the house
P150
K: It me back in the day // aren’t I pretty?
Sisters: yes… / very
K: Ahh! / I want to return to my old self soon!! // Sae / Yumi // you still haven’t found the “wishing stone” yet!?
K: Find it soon // Without the stone I can’t make my “wish”…
P151
K: Without the stone // I have no use for you two either
Ever since that picture came / she stares at it // all day and all the time
P152
S: I thought we could take it easy Y: It’s only natural / it’s how we started // we have to find the “wishing stone” / that was the agreement
S: But… // it’s not a fairytale Y: So we don’t know if the “wish” will really come true
S: The other agreement // that’s not a “fairytale” // the switch in time
P153
S: When we find the “wishing stone” // you or I // will switch times with Kikuko-sama
S: Kikuko-sama will turn into a young girl / and restore her youth Y: And you or I // will turn old and inherit 1/3 of her inheritance
P154
Sisters: Shhh… // she’ll hear us // Kikuko-sama has very good hearing
Y: Hey… / if we turn as old as Kikuko-sama // maybe it’s meaningless to inherit all that money…
S: Then why don’t you step down? Y: What are you saying…?
P155
Y: If we’re searching for the “wishing stone” not because we believe in that dream-like story // it’s for the reward we get for the other agreement when we find the real thing // it’s also for the security of our lives S: If we have that security // haven’t you ever thought it’s okay to not find it so quickly?
Y: That’s why she’s ordering us to hurry it up… // and maybe if we stall too much she’ll go looking for another young daughter
S: I don’t think she has that time / she’s going to someday soon…
Y: I borrowed the book you told me about… S: I have to learn how to read a book this simple soon
P156
Y: Time will pass us by / even if we don’t do anything
S: Hey / it’s not really for me but // do you like school? Y: I can’t see
P157
S: You / won’t // betray me will you?
Y: No
S: You can only read picture books… / it’s impossible! // right?
P158
Y: Move… / your hand
S: Hm…? Amino’s…
A: He left it here? / I thought it was important
S: Wow / he’s researched a lot // hmm…? Wow there’s a theory like that… / this…
If I // showed this to Yumi-san I wonder if she’ll be happy…
P159
S: Uhhh… // the “wishing stone”!!
S: You’re researching it right…? // I’m actually…looking it up too…it’s my interest and I / I’ve been doing my research too
S: So / I think you…might find this handy… // so…
Please smile Sae: I knew it
P160
S: I knew it // she’s betraying me!
S: Oh… // no
S: Um…you are…
Y: Sae neesan Sae: Yumi! / he said he’s going to tell us about the “wishing stone”
P161
S: I made a mistake…?
Sae: right WE / want to know about the “wishing stone” a whole lot
Sae: Can you tell us more details? If you want… / can you come over?
S: We’re deep in the forest // we’re going pretty far / it’s still the afternoon but…it’s so dark Sae: Do you like tea? / we have sweets too S: Thanks… / but I…
S: We’re so happy // we just transferred here so we don’t have any friends
P162
Sae: We’re so happy Y: That we can bring a friend home
S: No… / I don’t… // I’m going home sorry…!
P163
Sae: Oh no… / he ran away // Yumi / did you let go on purpose? Y: No… S: Your strength is your only trait
S: Oh well… // now the agreement is back to normal
S: Let’s go to the library / again tomorrow // together
P164
S: For starters… I’ll… / give this back to Amino tomorrow // he’s researching it a lot… // the “wishing stone”…
P165
S: It says it grants “wishes”… but I wonder what kind / I’ve looked around too but I didn’t find anything about someone’s wishes coming true
S: After the wish came true… // what’s this…?
Although impossible to grant, greed always ends up in the same place // having money and status and power / someone who’s successfully got everything in their hands // still wants more
P166
Now with everything in their hands // become young again // it’s such a fairytale
A: Where did I put it… / awww crap
P167
A: I don’t get it but…anyway / I gotta find the “stone” // It’s the only thing I know // because of that “stone”…
K: It’s not a fairytale // the “wish” came true // the stone will grant my wish // hurry
P168
I want the “wishing stone”
Karada: Can I have half a pumpkin… / and a plate of carrots?
P169
Man: Comin’ right up! / Neesan!
Man: You know the convenience stores are now selling vegetables
Man: And they’re open 24 hours / so many customers do their shopping there Karada: But yours looks so much tastier / and it’s cheaper…
Man: Ohh thank you! / fresh and cheap is our motto!
Man: So won’t you buy the whole pumpkin? / and the apples are good too Karada: Oh…half a pumpkin will do Man: You’re strict…
Karada: But the apples look good… / I’ll take two Man: Thanks!

P41
Chapter 19
S: It’ll be okay, I told Amino-kun already / I told Karada-chan directly not to move from where she is
S: You get so overprotective / when it’s about Karada-chan
H: I can’t help it
S: No matter how much you worry about her / the train isn’t going to go any faster // so calm down Kid: Mom mom / that oniichan
P42
Is getting scolded by his little sister! // he’s the older one / so lame!
S: Little sister… text: I look like your sister? Text: calling me little…you’re little too
S: Anyway I’m glad you’re still pretty good looking // “big brother”
H: pretty good looking…? S: Yup / I’m glad you’re not growing a beard or have messy hair Text: your bangs are a little long S: Honestly, I was a little surprised when I saw you again
P43
S: I thought to myself, were you always like this? H: Oh… text: was I that bad…
S: Yes / I couldn’t even figure out some of your expressions…
H: My expressions are easy to read / so // is that
H: What you researched?
S: Yes… / when I was doing it in the library // I was always asked / is it your summer vacation homework?
S: Summer vacation has ended a long time ago
P44
S: What are you going to do / if // we can’t find the stone this time either? What
Should I…
S: I had asked you “are you going to give up?” / very strongly…but // we might have to think about that possibility
Do
H: You too…
Me too?
H: I thought… // I can put you off since you’re an adult
S: He thought about me too…
I’m not family // he should just leave me alone
H: But if you can / I would be grateful if you lived with Karada as sisters // and I would live in a house nearby
P46
S: What? / you want to take care of me // because I’m like this? // You have no need to worry about me
And I was never first to you
Why are you // being nice
S: Don’t make everything your burden
That’s why // I // mistook that I was number one to you
S: I // know
You had someone else // someone
S: About you and Karada-chan / and Youko-san
P47
I wanted to know more about you
S: You said it in your sleep // when you were drunk that one night
H: I see…
S: Why you // think Karada-chan is special / how she’s not just your sister…
I wanted to be with you
But // I wish I didn’t find out // because you
S: The analysis // you wanted to think she was your daughter // because you loved Youko-san in your heart
P48
H: Is that how… / you analyze it?
The reason you left me
S: You don’t deny it
Was because of someone more important
S: Even when you were with me / was Youko-san always number one?
S: And since then / Karada-chan is number one
S: There’s no way… / I can
P49
I wanted to be number one
S: Sob // I can’t… / sob
My throat is hot // I didn’t plan to cry // maybe it’s because I’m a child now, my tears just come out
You don’t have to be nice to me // I’m not actually a child
P50
My tears won’t stop at all
S: What a horrible face… text: I bet
H: I think it was the first time I’ve seen you cry S: I don’t like to cry
This
S: It’s like an excuse for being helpless
H: Is cooking the only thing you can’t do? S: What / you knew?
Is like treat I’ve gotten after cheating
H: Whenever I said I wanted you to make something / you always said “next time”
So even if my wish comes true
P51
I can’t be happy
S: I sent Amino-kun an email / that we’re waiting
S: Let’s grab a taxi / and go
P52
What do I do / she’s not coming // what do I do
Yumi…
A: Shouko-san and your brother / have reached the station
While I was in school // and while I searched for the stone, Iokawa…
K: Oh / really
A: Um…
P53
A: What were you doing / all this time?
I wonder how she spent her days
K: I cooked / and cleaned the house // and did laundry… /and
K: I did some part-time work text: the pay wasn’t in cash though
A: Wow! / that’s great! // you worked with strangers!?
A: You’re like an adult!
A: I’ve worked for my sister before but…
P54
K: I… // am an “adult”
“Adult”
“Adult”
Something that we will eventually become // …Iokawa
Couldn’t wait for it
A: your wish… K: Yes?
P55
A: Nothing
K: Um… if / right now // you could grant just one / wish
K: What would you wish for? A: On the stone!? / I would wish for you to turn back…
K: Besides that // do you have / a wish you want to come true?
P56
A: My… / wish…
Turn back
K: It’s almost summer vacation! / I can’t wait
To before the beginning of summer vacation
I want her forgiveness
A: Iokawa…
P57
Won’t even look at me
A: I didn’t want to do the same thing / as that bearded guy at that time
When we speak
Asking her to hear me out
A: Telling her I lost control / is just an excuse…
Asking her to forget it all
That “wish” is too selfish
P58
I can’t say it
K: Sneeze
A: Here! // You might not wait it but
P59
A: Put it on
This is my wish right now
A: Please // I don’t want you to // get sick
P60
I can’t say anything cool like // leave it to me // or don’t worry
A: I’ll leave it here…
This is all I can do
A: It looks like they’re here… // so I’ll go get that stone
P61
A: I’m glad / I made it
P61
A: I can’t show her such a helpless face // or say anything helpless
As I thought and thought and thought all I learned
Was how helpless I really am
A: Telling me I can come if I can’t go back // but that’s grandfather’s house
P62
It’s not like there’s something I can do // The confidence I had // suddenly disappeared // and I have to help find the stone
There is nothing I can do right now
Nothing
P63
A: In there…
A: That’s the “witch’s lake” // but it should have been buried already?
A: But it’s closer to cross through the front
P64
Grandfather: Tetsumasa
A: Grandfather // why are you here?
P65
G: Oh… / I was getting the stone // for you here
A: Thank you!? Your timing is great!?
G: There’s something I want to try out before that person comes A: That person?
G: Anyway / were you crying? A: Oh this? // …yeah / I’m so helpless
A: I just really thought / I want to be like you
P66
A: You have everything
A: You’re an adult / you have a house and make money // I’m just a nobody // I realized it / I’m a kid that can’t do anything
A: If I can be more like you / I might not have made so many mistakes / as I did
G: You think so?
S: Karada-chan! / I told you not to leave by yourself!
G: You really think so?
P67
K: I’m sorry…
A: That’s just what I thought / I have to do what I can do…
A: So! / it’s in here!? // the wishing stone!!
G: You had said if I gave this to you // you would do my a favor, correct?
A: Yeah!
P68
A: Of course! / I’ll do anything you say!
A: But I’m in a rush now, can we do it tomorrow? // there’s someone waiting for this stone!
P69
G: Then will you // switch places with me? // tetsumasa

P9
Sae: I told you this was // a task assigned to me by Kikuko-sama // it doesn’t count as betrayal right?
Yumi: Yeah… // I guess it doesn’t
S: Hey…you know what I think?
P10
S: About the search for the wishing stone… // you know how Kikuko-sama doesn’t have any children? // Don’t you think this “wishing stone search” is a “search for a heir”…since switching places with her means we get to inherit her fortunes / because… “personnel to switch ages with her” is…hehe!
Y: You think so…?
S: In any case, nothing bad can come out of being her favorite! / See ya Y: Neesan! S: What?
Y: It’s dangerous to run so…be careful
P11
S: …I’ll be fine! // “Be careful”!? // I’m fine, my leg is all better // I have to do my job right // or else
P12
I’ll get in trouble again!
Kikuko: Yumi! / Sae!
S: Yes
K: Where’s the flower…?
P13
S: I’m sorry / I couldn’t find the right color…
K: Come here // …is it Yumi? …is it Sae?
Her voice is scary / Kikuko-sama sounds / very angry
So that’s why I
S: It’s… / Yumi
P14
K: Lying is bad / it’s Sae!! S: There were only red flowers!
S: I’m sorry… K: You sneaky little girl!
K: I hate / liars…
K: So frightening… // so horrendous…!!
P15
S: The useless will be disposed of… // it wasn’t a betrayal I was just trying to balance it out // or else we won’t be able to be together anymore…
Shouko: I couldn’t hear very well because of the train… // but she said something about the stone being in danger // so she’d head to your house before me…
P16
Amino: I told you! / I didn’t call her!
A: There’s no way I could have!
Sh: Based on the departure time, she’ll arrive there at 3:15 // I heard the announcement // wait for her at the station // …it sounded like someone was with her // any ideas? A: None!! / anyway, which station!?
P17
Karada: Um… // You are Amino-kun’s father / …right?
Man: Oh you’re still suspicious of me?
K: Oh…no! / you knew about Touko-san… // and he mentioned having told his grandfather about the stone…
K: I just didn’t expect anyone to believe such a story… // so I was shocked…
P18
Man: You switched ages with someone because of the “stone” correct? K: Yes / yes! / That’s right!
Man: That must have been tough…
K: Yes…
K: The view… // is starting to look familiar…
Heeey // Tetsu!
P19
Tetsu!
K: Amino-kun Amino-kun / your sister is calling for you A: Geeeh

Sis: It’s for daddy
Text A: I’ll make an uglier face! Sis: You brat!
P21
Sis: What / it’s cuz you won’t agree to see him // so he’s really worried about you! A: If I say I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna!!
K: Amino-kun Amino-kun
K: Let’s take a picture!!
K: If we take a picture I’m sure your father will be very happy!! // okay?
A: I don’t care about that guy anyway…
A: Oh…yeah…
P22
A: Iokawa… / she’s all alone with her brother… Text K: Are you okay?

Sis: Oh his pride… // okay here goes!
P23
Sis: What! Where’s your smile? // oh well K: I can take a picture of you two!
Sis: Oh it’s okay / my make-up is too much today Text: a phone camera takes a better picture and I can change things with the highlight and…
Sis: I’ll get this developed and send it // I bet he’ll be so happy! I know it!
K: Touko-san always said / you were so happy and kept it in your wallet all the time
P24

A: It’s her…

I’m happy and scared to see her // there’s nothing I can do…
Will I be able to speak to her properly? // Will Iokawa
Still speak to me?
Man: Oh…I don’t have it / I coincidentally forgot it // but I usually always carry it around… K: Oh…really…?
P29
K: Umm…
A: I’m going to make another phone call / maybe I’ll have enough battery to send an email…
Man: There’s no way you can call anyone
Touko-san said “he always has the picture”
Is it possible for him to forget…?
Text: hmm? Somethings…
P30
K: Huh?
There’s no battery
Man: It’s restricted to use your phone in the train K: Oh I’m sorry

P155
“Tatoeba no Houkou” (The Direction of If) The following extra chapter follows the storyline of “what would have happened if Karada and Shouko did not go home to Hiro after they switched their ages and decided to live together” from the 2006 Summer edition of Comic Blade Pirated Book Vol 2
P156
The wishes “I want to grow up faster” and “I want to return to the past” were suddenly granted
But it was only figuratively
Karada: I have to… / go home… // but
The Direction of If
P157
K: Will he know… // it’s…me…
My reflection in the window is a stranger // or it seemed like it // my appearance // scares me // I don’t want to see him / I can’t
Shouko: Let’s go to my room / ok…? // Then
We took the easy way out
P158
S: We won’t see anyone
We ran away from the impossible “reality”
Running away was easy
The lifestyle we found ourselves trapped in // was actually decently pleasant
S: the internet is so convenient // in times like these… If we felt we didn’t want to be seen or we didn’t want to go outside // we could usually have someone deliver things we needed to our door
S: “In times like this” / is not very common… K: Shouko-san
P159
We have so much time on our hands // all this time we’re not doing anything except running away from reality
S: Again?
We would clean and cook and even still
It’s as if time didn’t exist
S: Hmmm…
P160
K: What’s wrong?
S: When I was a child / I hated my hair // it was always frizzy and rough and wasn’t pretty at all // so I didn’t spend too much time brushing it / and I just tied it lazily
K: Really? / it’s very pretty S: Yeah / I guess I just didn’t take good care of it
S: I always just decided / that my hair is this way since I was born // but I wish I could tell my old self / that by simply brushing it carefully it could be this pretty
P161
K: I / like your hair Shouko-san / it’s long and straight S: Haha / thank you!
S: You’re not going to grow out your hair?
K: Ohh…I… / used to… // I was growing it but
K: My mother used to tie it for me… / and I couldn’t do it very well myself // so I got frustrated and decided to cut it
If you run away once
Phone: We are not home right now, please leave a message
Hiro: Hello?
P162
H: Shouko!? / it’s me // uhhm / It’s Iokawa…Hiro…
You get into the habit of running
H: Sorry / I just have no other ideas // only your place is left… // Karada is… / my sister has gone missing…
If you have… / even a little bit of information… // can you please tell me…
Please…
P163
Phone hangs up: beep beep // one new message
Even if we leave it closed, time passes us by
S: Looks like we’ve made a habit of running
K: It’s hot / isn’t it S: It’s the summer // even if we close the curtains and stay in an air conditioned room / summer is still summer // even if we keep running // this is our reality
P164
Don’t we want the person we love // to believe us? // believe this impossible reality?

Pg 119
Let’s not give up keep searching // and we’ll return to normal We found Iokawa…! / all that’s left is the stone!! I have to do something…
The past is fixed so it cannot be erased and although the future is full of possibilities, it’s difficult to do as we like…but
I’m still // just a useless child
The wishing stone is just a fairy tale
Pg 120
Chapter 17
Pg 121
Pg 122 (119)
K: Welcome home Hiro-nii
H: I’m home
S: You’re always this late every night?
Pg 123
H: Shouko…!
S: …it’s good to see you
S: You’re doing real estate related work? / it’s a little shocking H: I couldn’t find work similar to my old job…
Pg 124 (121)
H: What have you been doing lately… / Shouko
S: If you’re worried about me, you should charge the battery!
S: What were you going to do if Karada-chan didn’t contact me? H: I was going to….after we…settled down a bit…
S: After you settle down…
S: Is that “settle down” the kind that’s similar to “giving up”?
Pg 125 (122)
S: You’re okay / remaining this way?
K: I don’t want to remain this way
K: Hiro-nii // I don’t want to stay like this
K: My body is an adult // but I can’t do anything
Pg 126
S: We discussed this earlier // we both // want to return to norma
It might be selfish // to make a wish // have it come true // and have second thoughts
K: If there’s even a tiny possibility // Even just a little bit
K: I want to return to normal / and // grow up into the adult / that I hope to become
Pg 127
K: I…already know that I’m… / not Hiro-nii’s real sister // I’m Aunt Youko…mom’s child, right? H: …yeah
K: Every time you worked so hard for me / Hiro-nii // I became sad that I was a child who couldn’t do anything
Pg 128
S: If we continue on like this / you might continue to feel that way S: Maybe even more strongly because you’re an adult
S: We have to start over / we have to turn back
H: Even though we don’t have any leads…?
S: If there is…will you keep searching?
Pg 129
S: It’s true that the “stone” wasn’t there anymore // but the possibility still exists
S: It’s not // zero
Pg 130 (127)
There USED to be a lot of those “wishing stones” in that town / the stones in that shrine were put there by people who picked them up in the mountains or on the road
With the stones collected in that one spot // and the stone that Karada-chan and I found from there made our “wish” come true…
After the stones turned into ashes // we couldn’t find any similar stones in the area // and when we did find similar ones we could only find one or two
And I heard an interesting old tale // about the shrine by the sea where the stone had gone missing
According to the tale, the stone may have been taken to this town
Pg 131
It might just be a fairy tale / but at least // this town is involved with this stone / we MIGHT find the stone that was brought there / we MIGHT find the stones if we keep looking in the mountain
H: It’s only a possibility…
S: It might sound like just a fairy tale that’s just a fantasy without any leads… // but its reality
Pg 132 (129)
S: Are you going to do the same thing when you left me… // you’re going to run again? // If there’s a possibility… / I’ll go after it
H: Shouko… / you’ve changed S: Have I?
Pg 133
K: Um // you’re saying things like “left me” and “you’ve changed”…
K: What was the relationship… // the two of you had?
K: Wait / were you… // you know…
Pg 134
S: You’re smoking H: …was thinking about it
S: Thanks for being conscientious about me
H: Shouko S: Hm? H: Thank you
H: I might have continued to live this life pretending not to see / Karada trying to hide her suffering S: Don’t worry about it / I don’t think you were entirely wrong in your actions
Pg 135
It’s still a possibility that we won’t turn back / it’s actually a high percentage // we’ll have to think more about the future in the way we are
But! / If there’s a possibility I want to try it / nothing can begin without trying!
H: You did…change a little
S: What are you talking about H: You didn’t used to say things like “we have to try” S: I have thought a lot about it!!
I’ve had a lot to think about… Like about Youko-san
Pg 136
I want to hear more about it
But just because my body went back in time / doesn’t mean my heart will go back in time
But if I hadn’t turned back into a child / I wouldn’t have been able to change / at least into the person I am now
I wouldn’t have been able to H: Shouko…
Pg 137
H: Why did you want to turn back into a child? S: eh?
S: That… // is a secret If I turned back into a child I could be more honest // and I wish I could have stopped you back then // is // what I was thinking
S: I won’t tell you / even if we turn back
T: No
Pg 138
T: I can only find ones like this
They were looking for wishing stones too…
Useless garbage stones
Oops
Oh, grandfather
Pg 139
G: You’re still awake T: Yes / but I’m about to go to sleep // um…I asked you before / but do you know about the wishing stone?
G: It’s the “stone” from the shrine that turned to ash, right? / the tale about your wishes coming true T: It’s not any wish, it transfers time between people / like a child turns into an adult and an adult turns into a child
G: The shape / is a little different / but this stone is not like any other… T: right! Right!
G: I know
Pg 140
G: I saw it in the shed up in the mountain / it hadn’t turned into ash T: What!
T: Really!? / Let me see!! Let me see it!!
G: It’s too late now / you can see it tomorrow after school
G: But there it is under one condition
T: okay okay // anything!! // I always listen to anything you say grandfather!
G: That’s true… / keep your promise
Pg 141
T: Of course / I will!!
Phone: call from Amino Tetsu
Pg 142
T: Shouko-san!? / it’s me!!
T: Don’t get mad about calling you so late!! / okay!! Okay don’t freak out!!
We might be able to find it!! The “wishing stone”!!
Pg 143
Plus! It might be at our house! / There’s a shed where we keep a lot of stuff! I’m going to check it out tomorrow! If we find it then you can turn back right? // and so can she!? // so can Iokawa!
Hello?
Say something Shouko-san
Um…
…Iokawa?
Pg 144
Wait… / Don’t…
S: Oh sorry did we wake you? K: Um…just now…
Okay then tomorrow…yes thank you
Pg 145
S: Hmm it’s hard to believe just hearing it // let’s return to the town tomorrow / Karada-chan, you too
H: Alight, I’ll catch up later as well S: Can you make it? H: I’ll do something! // It is for my family
S: So! Karada-chan!
Pg 146
S: We might turn back! // We might…!
It was like // the air that had stopped // suddenly started moving S: Karada-chan
S: I got tickets for the 3:00 shinkansen (bullet train) / is that okay? The wind
K: Oh I’ll have to… / I have to take the day off from work S: Work!?
The wind has
Pg 147
Passed through my heart // if everything turns back to normal // then this time I’ll grow up to be a real adult // into an adult that can do anything
Excuse me
Pg 148 (145)
You’re Iokawa / Karada-san / right? Yes?
S: Oh Karada-chan K: Shouko-san / I’m at the station now…
S: Why? The train is at 3:00… K: It turns out the wishing stone… // is… The train is about to depart
Pg 149
K: So I’m going to go to Amino-kun’s house first… The doors will now close
S: Wait! Karada-chan I can’t hear you…
K: Hello? Shouko-san? Oh
You’re not allowed to use your phone inside the train K: Oh I’m sorry // I can’t use it here either…?
K: Huh?
Pg 150
T: …eh? I didn’t call her // I only know your number anyway / so that’s why last night too… S: I can’t reach her…
T: Iokawa!? What!? // Hey! What does that mean!! / Weren’t you guys coming here today!? // Hey!!
Pg 151
Yumi! I’m sorry, but I won’t go collect stones with you today
Oh // Okay
Kikuko-sama has a task just for me // only me, she said to come alone
Don’t you want to hear about it?
…so // what is it?
Hehe // I’m not telling!
Pg 152
Oh just kidding // I don’t really know the details
Are you done with your phone call? K: My battery ran out…
I don’t know anyone’s number without looking at the phonebook
Hiro-nii is still at work / I’ll try again when we’ve arrived
It’s
Pg 153
K: So…the wishing stone is turning into ash? // I need the stone in it’s normal state! Everything // going back to normal
Yes but it’s okay, we’ll make it in time
An important guest // is here
Man: I have heard that if someone who has transformed touches the “wishing stone” // it will stop turning into ash...https://mangahelpers.com/t/shirokuro/releases/10051[English] [Translation] Asatte no Houkou 16 by shirokuro2009-03-05T05:23:36+00:00shirokuroadmin@mangahelpers.com**I've skipped ahead to volume 4 as a request to translate volume 4 and 5. since this was a request, please ask me before you use it for anything! thanks!**

When I take a quick look // there's an adult
in the mirror
Chapter 16
pg 86 (82)
lady: Good morning, it's cold today Karada: good morning
Karada: I have to try my best
I'm trying my best
pg 87
and it almost seems like I can reach
those things that are far away
but I can't
...I have to become an adult What should I put in the miso-soup today...
and become as old as I look
pg 88
You can still stay in bed for a little longer / Hiro-nii
Sorry...
You went to sleep pretty last last night / so you should sleep a little more // I'll let you know / when breakfast is ready
Pg 89 (85)
It's been a month since Karada and I left that town / it's the second time Karada and I have moved
MM // this miso-soup is different than the usual
pg 90
K: Hehe could you tell? // you first sautee it with oil
H: We're growing tired because of several things
K: The grocer I always go to / told me the burdocks and tofu are good today
I was a little worried if it would be oily but // the combination of komatsuna and abura-age is good so // I'm going to find out some more cooking tips again today
H: Well! / that sounds like fun

Oh / yes
H: ...sorry / I have left it at home... nurse: will you be going to get it? otherwise you have to pay the whole fee. H: No / I'll pay 90% / then you can see her without her insurance card, correct?
...they would // be suspicious of the date of birth
pg 93
in a few years will she be able to pass it off?
She can't...go to school anymore
No one would believe any explanation
...I have to think about the future

pg 94
I will work my hardest / so please consider me for the position
There's no guarantee that she'll return to her normal state
So what I'm doing // is the best direction we can go in based on what I can do
K: I finished cleaning and laundry // and putting up the ofuton

K: um

Mail: I'm so happy. I'll be looking forward to it. I'll be waiting.
Iokawa-kun
pg 104
H: Yes Boss: We're going to have a meeting with Hamanaka Building Contractors // come along // this is part of your job too... H: I understand...please let me write just one mail
Mail: Sorry. I actually will be late tonight.
I'm home
pg 105
H: ...did she go to sleep? // I wonder if I reek of alcohol...
H: I'm sorry about today
Mail: welcome home
Mail: I was waiting for you
H: I'm really sorry // but my job... / but that's an excuse... / I did indeed break our promise
pg 106
Mail: I know! // It's your job // but! next time it's a promise // good night
H: ...yes / it's a promise
H: ...good night K: Mail is so convenient
pg 107
Mail: I have good news // thanks to your help Karada-san // I have become a full-time employee! // I won't be able to get time off too easily anymore // but I'll work my best so that we can live together from now on
pg 108
I want to let // Hiro-nii be free
...I don't want to be // a burden anymore
That's why // I made that "wish"...
Mail: I'll work my hardest from now on
Tetsu: Soo it's a kusa-kanmuri (part of kanji) and... Shouko: Please... if you can't read it, take a picture and send it to me // are six graders this incapable of reading? T: What!! I'm a pretty good student!!
T: Plus it took a lot of effort to get permission to take this book out!
S: yes yes, you're great Amano / oh sorry, I have another call // yes hello...
K: Hello... is this Shouko-san?
S: ! Karada-chan!?
pg 109
S: Where are you!? // I heard you moved...
This is...
pg 110
K: Shouko-san! Over here!
S: Looks like you're doing well K: You too...
S: Coffee please // I didn't know what we would have done if you hadn't contacted me K: I thought the same thing
K: ...Hiro-nii and I thought we should wait until we settled in a little bit more... / but we haven't found anything...
S: Oh, actually this one waitress: ok
pg 112
K: By the way Hiro-nii has another phone he bought for work.../the old one is still on the table... S: and I'm assuming it hasn't been charged
K: well he / ...is very busy...
S: I wonder if he really has been working to find a way to / turn back to the way we were!
S: Oh Karada-chan! look look / I studied as much as I could about the "stone" // and I think I've uncovered some useful info
S: That kid Amano-kun / he's been helping / and we sometimes exchange info
pg 113
S: ...so you didn't tell him your new address? / he's worried about you, a lot...
I asked him if he wanted to come along // but he said "it's okay as long as she's happy"
He said to tell you "we're going to find the stone and turn us back"
K: Oh...really...
S: So / let me hear about you these days / I bet it's been tough K: Oh...well
pg 114
There's a lot og things I want to tell you about...but
They're all such small things / and.../ they're nothing out of the ordinary...
like I'd do the same thing as someone because it's what adults do
or laugh like nothing is the matter
it's basically stuff like that...
S: Is "Not complaining" and "being stoic" / really the key to become an adult?
But
pg 115
When kids hold back on saying what they're thinking it piles up // and they want to let it go but while they look for ways to make it go away, it all comes out // you don't have to rush into becoming an adult because your appearance is that way
you're allowed to take your time
pg 116
Let's not give up and keepy searching / and / ...let's get our lost "time" back
I've found Karada-chan / she seems well
T: ...Ok so now...
pg 116
T: I have to find the "wishing stone"!!!
T: Hm / did someone come by?
Oh, yes // it's a package for your father

"Mirror / oh mirror..." huh
Extra chapter: Spring Light
Pg 50 (46)
Girls can pretend not to see things they don't want to see // pretend it never existed // hateful things, dirty things, shameful things // even if // that is // yourself
I'm so // not cute...
Pg 51 (47)
Every morning I stand in front of the mirror and brush my hair and wash my face
I wash it carefully but making sure not to see my face
I don't consider myself to be "girly" / but I conveniently ignore things I don't want to see
Should I change to contacts // ...it won't make much of a difference
I've told myself this 100 times as I've looked in the mirror
Pg 52 (48)
I'm going to enter an American high school in the fall because
There's something I want to study // I had the chance to
I wanted to go somewhere far // I wanted to run away // I hated everything about myself // everything in my life
You might say that everyone has thought how much they hate themselves at least once in life // but I don't think that's true
because
Pg 53 (49)
everyone looks so pretty
unlike me
it's starting...today...
Pg 54 (50)
Girls are the same in any country / they're all cute and look like they're having fun
They laugh like flowers / as if they're living in a world of spring
Pg 55 (51)
I know no one is looking at me // but I look down when I walk
I hate that I'm so ugly // why am I like this
I wonder if he's a college student... / Asian... Japanese? // He's reading a letter... / airmail..
Pg 56 (52)
From home? But he // doesn't look happy at all / I wonder why...
That just caught my attention a little bit
Pg 57 (53)
Huh? // My freckles...are getting lighter in color maybe?
text: I'm going to test this out
I wonder if this works...
Shoko! Oh, Emily
That's a new product! So? How is it? I haven't used it much yet so I don't know...
Hm but your skin is getting better Really...?
Pg 58 (54)
There aren't any no-smoking areas in Japan? And you get fined for smoking on the street Yeah, pretty much Wow
But I think it'll eventually be prohibited everywhere
I thought his fingers that held the cigarette were long // and that my hair grew a little bit
The next day I impulsively
started cutting my heavy hair that I've been growing

Straight and thick and uncontrollable // I could only tie it up // I hated my hair

Everything I hated disappeared into the past called Winter // and I became a resident in the Spring World

I see now that the girls in the Spring world // were all in love // and I had ended up there somehow

Pg 70 (67)
It's like hide and seek

Volume 4
Pg 7
Despite everyone’s curiosity towards what happened to Iokawa, who didn’t come to school after summer vacation ended due to “illness” and then suddenly “transfered” to another school, but as everyone got excited about sports day and field trips
The topic of Iokawa was soon forgotten Classmate: Amino, let’s go to…
No one knew what really happened Amino: Sorry
One of the girls used to say “I feel kind of abandoned”
Classmate: …that’s what I thought
Those words are kind of on target, even though she didn’t really know what happened.
A number I don’t know…
Pg 8
Iokawa?
…Unfortunately, no
Amino: I meant to call you but I didn’t know your number // so I’m thankful you called Nogami: I assumed you were with them // you were Karada-chan’s friend weren’t you?
I look for the stone every day, I’ve even been going to the library every Sunday // If I don’t do anything I…
Pg 9
It’s me, Nogami Shouko // I can’t reach Hiro…I mean Karada-chan and her brother // Amino-kun, right? Can you tell me how to contact them? Amino: …That’s what I want to know
Iokawa and her brother have gone disappeared
Nogami: What? Did you get in a fight? / …what are you doing in a time like this / that’s why you kids… Amino: I’m doing the best I can! // I’m even looking for the wishing stone!
I just feel abandonded
Pg 10
A: Oh yeah, by the way Shouko-san, you’re smart right? N: …I’m average
A: There are so many words I can’t read in the ancient text so can you help? There’s a character that looks like “mi” in hiragana… N: I can’t figure it out with you verbally telling me / I’ll go into a copy center so can you fax it for me
A: Oh yeah right, ok, thanks N: Abandonded, huh?
…we’re the one’s that got abandonded // by time
Pg 11
I wonder if we can really find it // the “wishing stone”
It wasn’t here when we came last time! // The box was empty
Ow!
…I know that!
Pg 12
We just don’t have any other leads / It might not be here anymore, but it was once here // that means this is our best bet
A: I should have stuck to researching this on my own… N: You’re the one who came to me saying “I can’t read it!!”
Pg 13
Extra chapter: Mermaid Light
Anyway / let’s find out more // about the old tale with the “wishing stone”
Hey! Come on!
Pg 14
Yeah! I’m going in too! I can too…
Heeey
Hey Tasuke // you come in too! // It’s not that high!
Pg 15
I…
Can’t…do it
Oh you’re still afraid of heights! Oh come on / weakling!! Scaredy cat! // this is the lowest diving point!!
There are higher points over there… He / hey
Look
Pg 16
Hey…is that kid // going to jump from there?
Impossible! Even I’d be scared at that height… / it’s deeper and you can’t even see anything // the current is faster too so my dad always told me to stay away / shouldn’t we stop that kid?
Pg 17
It’s okay, I bet that kid can’t…
WAAH! HEY! STOP! THAT’S DANGEROUS!
Pg 18
What the… / I guess the kid’s not jumping Probably chickened out
Wasn’t that kid / the one that the priest brought from Edo… Stupid!
Pg 19
It’s not “Edo” anymore! / it’s “Tokyo” Ohhh right, my mom still says Edo, so
Hey // I wonder if that kid really didn’t jump because he was scared
Didn’t look scared at all…WOAH!
Stupid / don’t push me!
If you hit a messy head / it sounds like civilization enlightenment
Pg 20
…goes the song / anyway it feels good to cut your hair // you should cut it too brother
…I have nothing to talk to you about // give us back our sacred ornament
We promised each other that the first half of the month the upper shrine may have it and the last half of the month the lower shrine would / didn’t we!?
Why have you not returned it yet after 10 days!! Please please / just lend it to me for a little while longer
Pg 21
It’s not like it’s going to disappear if it’s not in use // it’s a “wishing stone”
Well…I don’t even know how to use it / that’s how these sacred objects are / really, it’s just a stone…
I know…
Your shrine has been “using” the stone lately / for something suspicious // are you trying to bring forth a miracle by soaking it in water or something…? You’re fake!
What’s the problem?
Pg 22
What!
The upper shrine and lower shrine / are two shrines that honor the “wishing stone” as sacred
The parishioners that came to the upper shrine were all wealthy people / and the shrine has always been large and affluent
You have to use anything you can use / or else I can’t survive // you should also consider… YOU SACRILIGIOUS SINNER!! / HOW CAN YOU DO SUCH A THING!!
WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS / BLASPHEMY TOWARDS THE SACRED!
Pg 23
You’re as thick-headed and stoic as always / Nobimitsu… Motoharu! / Give me the “stone”…
Let me hold on to it a little longer // I will eventually return it
I’M GOING TO EXPOSE YOUR WRONG DOING // I WILL / YOU SINNER!!
…With that kind of determination / he might come attack me as soon as tomorrow
I have to hide it tonight… / Shizuku
Pg 24
I leave it up to you
I’ll secretly practice / now that it’s night time…
It’s the kid from earlier…
Pg 25
F… // flew?
Heeeeeeeeey…
Pg 26
Hey! // Are you okay!!?
I’m glad! / It’s so dangerous over there // I don’t think even an adult can jump in
You’re amazing! I’m in shock!! // Can you tell me how it’s done?
Sure
Pg 27
Eh
You you you! / A girl!!?
Your hair is short and your clothes are / so I…
It’s been so long!
I hadn’t shocked anyone in so long // I always did work like this before I came here
I know! / do you want to see something better?
Pg 28
What?
That’s a bright fire cracker!
Alright you’re about to see / one of the rarest underwater fireworks // now this is going to disappear sooner or…
Pg 29
It’s not…disappear…ing…
Magnesium can burn and emit light in the atmosphere / but it can also continue to do so in boiling water
It’s nothing special
It’s something anyone can get their hands on if they know how / but it is pretty rare in this town
Pg 30
Look here look here // This sacred stone / is about to work miracles which can only be seen here // This water is holy water that has been purified by this stone for three days and three nights / this fire has not gone out since
THAT IS // A FAKE!
Pg 31
It’s magic…
This is no miracle as he says!
It’s all a performance he has thought up with a magician he brought from Tokyo! // You can’t fool anyone just by cutting you hair and wearing boy’s clothes! // Now / return the stone!
Tasuke / hold this // and meet me at the bay // please!
Hide it!! In the usual spot!!
Pg 32
It’s pretty / heavy!
Thanks!
Pg 33
See there! / He ran away, thus proving my point!
…I didn’t know the teaching of the bottom shrine were fake?
However, for a long while / the girl did not surface
All the town’s people were watching out for her but she didn’t even come up for water // everyone had started to assume “she must have drowned..” until…
There she is! / Unbelievable…
She held her breath for this long!? / It’s even a mystery that she survived // jumping off from that point…
YES! It’s the power of the “stone”!
Pg 34
The stone had protected her in the water! That’s why she could stay under so long! / there’s no other possible explanation…
Yes, indeed Maybe… I’ve never seen a miracle from the top shrine
Which means… The lower shrine is more… Maybe the stone at the upper shrine was just a rock
Heeeey // that was amazing!! / how’d you do that!?
That was…
Pg 35
What’s wrong?
Bring me / the “stone” now
Pg 36
Your magic trick of staying under water / the trick has to do with that ball / you sinner!!
Upper shrine priest, I’m sorry I can’t forgive you / especially / you, magician!
Jump off and escape!! // forget me
She knows… / I can’t jump from here…
Ok we never practiced / but can you teach me how to jump now!!
…okay!
Pg 37
Pg 38
Where are we?
It’s the trick // I just sank a bunch of these barrels
You always have to set up your tricks in advance
Pg 39
Are you shocked? …shocked!
I… // I…
The upper shrine priest took the “stone” and ran / and disappeared altogether
Brother…
No // the sacred ornament has not disappeared / just
Pg 40
It just stopped displaying it’s miracles for anyone
Since then / the lower shrine continued to honor an “empty box”
The upper shrine now without a owner was cleaned up by the lower shrine // and the “sacred box” was put away
…you’re going back to Tokyo?
Yeah, I have no use here anymore / I’m going back to continue my magic shows
By the way… // What kind of wishes does the “wishing stone” grant?
Pg 41
Hmmm / I dunno… // but I bet they’re amazing wishes
The upper shrine priest
Followed the origins of the stone to where it came from / but when he reached the location the “wishing stone” was not anything special or unique / and everything he had hoped for was worthless
If you’re saying “sacred” shouldn’t it be somewhere away from other stones? // Yeah…
However / people can wish hard // and come to believe things
…This stone is “special”
Pg 42
Let me show you a miracle // Go boil some water // and bring some fire…
The location that the upper shrine priest had gone / holding the “sacred stone” is believed to be…
It’s here…!
What…that’s our shrine!
A: …then it’s useless / it’s already turned into ashes N: there can be another possibility
Pg 43
The stone was originally a collection of stones from everywhere / but // if it was preserved as something sacred it might still be kept somewhere Yeah // but it’s “might be” again…
A: We’re back to the beginning again N: Not completely
We have more hope than before, so it’s not the “beginning” // we have an idea of where the possibility lies!
Pg 44
It should be here in 5 minutes / good timing
N: Can you get home by yourself? A: Of course!! N: I’m going to stay behind a bit / and look around some more
Hmmm
The sunset is pretty
Very pretty!
Pg 45
…the sunset!!
N: …I still can’t reach them…you really don’t know where Karada-chan went? / you’re her friend A: I don’t know…
N: Well if you find something out let me know A: Yeah you too
Pg 46
What’s going to change when we’re back to normal
I be nothing will change
And yet // the feelings towards the better past // will never be erased // from my heart
Pg 47
If you have something you want tell me so we can send it to you Ok
H: You didn’t have to come too Youko-san // it’s an important time for you so… Y: But I won’t see you for a while Hii-kun
Take care of yourself // you’re coming back when you have vacation through right?
Pg 48
…probably

Pg 87
かわいーよ she is cute
大事なのね she’s important to you 大事だよ/たった１人の肉親なんだし she is / she’s my only family
4年前あなたが一方的に「別れよう」って言って/日本に帰ったのはあの子の為でしょ//ただしいわ when you had said “let’s break up” single-handedly/and went back to Japan, it as for her right?//it was the right thing
それだけ言ってくれてたら良かったのに/その後の付け加えで台無し//覚えてる？ But you could have just told me that/but you ruined it all with what you said after that//do you remember?
Pg 88
「俺は日本に帰るけど」//「椒子はこっちでしか出来ない事が有るだろ？」「他人の未来を不確定な約束なんかで」「がんじがらめにするのは効率的じゃないだろ？」 “I’m going back to Japan”// “but you have stuff that can only be done here right?” “pinning down our futures with an uncertain promise // is not very efficient is it?”
・・・何よコレ一方的すぎ/勝手//偽善/最低 俺もそー思う …what is that, so one-sided/selfish//hypocrite/jerk
最低な男ついでに一つ聞いていい？ Now that we’re on this topic can I ask one thing?

お願いって・・・ what was your wish…?
私 大人になりたいんです I wanted to become an adult なんだそんなの そのうち嫌でも・・・ Well you will be whether you want to or not…
今すぐ//なりたかったんです I want to be one//right now
私とてもお世話になっている人が居て/ その人にたくさん迷惑かけてるんです There’s someone who’s been taking good care of me/and I’m causing this person so much trouble
でもその人は私にここまで尽くしてくれるギムなんて無いのに//ずっとずっと私の事だけ考えて4年も・・・ But this person doesn’t have to commit to dedicating so much to me//this person has only thought about me for the last 4 years…
私は I
Pg 93
知ってるんです//あの人の本当の妹じゃないって 知ってるんです I know// I know I’m not really his sister
時間って誰にも同じ速さでしか進まない事も 知ってるんです I also know that time passes by at the same speed for us all
私が大人になってなんでも１人でできるようには あと何年もかかるんです// でも It’s going to be many more years until I can become an adult and take care of myself //but
私は 早く早く 大人になって I want to become an adult really soon

世界は 自分でどうにかなる事と 自分ではどうしようもない事の
二つの構成されています
The world is made up of two things
Things we have control over and things we cannot control
Pg 27
熱心ね 何をお願いしてるのかな？ You're dedicated // what are you praying for?
Pg 28
ひみつ なんです It's a secret
それもそうか 願い事はキミツにしなきゃね You're right // wishes should be kept secret
この石「願い石」って言うんだ？ This rock is called "wishing rock"?
由来とか有るの？ 何かここに書いてあるんだけど Where does the name come from? There's something written here
難しくて読めないんです but I can't read it
見せてみて let me see
Pg 29
大昔に 空から降ってきたんだそうよ It says it rained down from the sky a long time ago
セットで as a set? いやそれは Um no, I think
同じ種類のを集めて重ねてあるんでしょ まあそれこそ本当に隕石って訳でも・・・ This is a pile made from the same kinds of rocks // You could say they're like real astroids...
そっか！！ 「流れ星にお願い」なんですね！ すごいですね！ I see!! It's like "wishing on a star"! That's amazing!
Pg 30
・・・そうね お願いを3回唱える間に消えちゃうなんて事は無いもんねこのお星様 Yes...And these stars won't disappear while you repeat your wish 3 times
あ やっぱり Oh I was right
ちょっと似てるんだ この子 あの人に She looks like that person
笑い方とか仕草とか How she laughs, and her movements
私もいいかな ひとつ「お願い」を思い出したの I remembered a "wish" too, can I?
Pg 31
だけどねそれは あんまり叶いそうも無いなぁ・・・ But I don't think my wish will come true...
私も・・・「お願い」します I will "wish" too
え Huh? はい Yes
私がお願いをする度に お姉さんのも叶いますようにって Every time I pray, I will pray that your wish will come true too
X2です So it's a double prayer
ありがと Thanks
じゃあ私もお願いする度にあなたの分もするわ 名前は？ 私は野上椒子 Then I will pray for your wish to come true as well / What's your name? / I'm Nogami Shouko

な アホウ 弟 Right? Stupid brother
単に。 姉ちゃんちと間違えただけだっての！ それよりあいかーらず化粧濃すぎ。 I just mistook it for your house! And you're wearing too much make up as always
Pg 36
あ あの Uh um
ぶつけた所 冷やした方がいいです You should put this ice pack on where I hit you
いいのよこんな頭 中身１ミジンコも無いんだから Don't worry about his head, there isn't even a single daphnia in there
そういうのダメです No I insist
Pg 37
からだちゃんは本当に良い子 You're such a nice girl Karada-chan
こんなかわいいからだチャン心配してくれてんのよ This cute little Karada-chan is worried about you
ありがたき幸せってヤツじゃないの Isn't this happiness you should be grateful for
ば・・・オレは別に五百川のことなんか Wha...I don't care about Iokawa
あと ソレはあんたのせいなんだから 責任取んな And // That is your fault // You better make up for it
Pg 38
だーい好きなお兄ちゃんの為のお弁当より あんたのアホな頭を心配してくれたんだからさ Since she worried about your stupid head more than about the brother she loves so dearly
じゃね Bye
・・・はい yes...?
べ I
弁当作り直すの手伝ってやる！ I'll help you remake his lunch!

じゃ 手伝ってもらっていいですか？ Can I ask you to help me then?

割るのか？ 卵 Break the egg? おねがいします。 Yes please

調理実習時のオレのあだ名クリスピー網野でした My nickname in cooking class was
Crispy Amino そいえばお米を洗剤で洗ったという話も 忘れてました I forgot the story about you washing rice with detergent
卵くらいは割れた方がいいですよ I think you should learn how to at least break an egg

えらい気が早いなと思って 来年の春だろ中学 Just though it's a little early. Junior high doesn't start until next spring
ですよね 私もそう思うんですけど I know, I think so too
しかも ほら Plus // look
かなり大きいんですよ It's really big
Pg 44
うちの家系は中学で背がくんと伸びるから このくらい大きめが丁度いいってヒロ兄が Hiro-nii says that everyone in our family suddenly grows in junior high, so it's better to buy a big uniform ふーん Hmmm
クラスで一番小さいのにそんなにすぐ大きくなんかなれねっての You're the smallest in the class, you won't grow that big so fast すぐ大きくなるます！ I will fast!
早く大人になって ヒロ兄を自由にしてあげなきゃ I have to grow up fast // and give Hiro-nii his freedom
Pg 45
さ 続き続き！！ Ok let's continue!!
おいしいお弁当 作らなきゃですよね We have to make a tasty lunch
あんまり出来ることなさそーだし 帰るわ I don't think I can help much // I'm going home
Pg 46
え 何で？ Huh why?
おまえ 玉子焼きしょっぱすぎ Your egg rolls are too salty
え！ What!
さっき落ちたのですよ お腹すいてたら 新しいの・・・ That's the one I dropped earlier // I can make new ones// if you're hungry...

Pg 48
早く来ないかな～～からだちゃん 遅いッすね～～からだちゃん Where is Karada-chan / Karada-chan's late
ね Eh?
「ね」じゃないっいしょ・・・ Don't "eh" me...
いいよなあ五百川 かわいい妹さんが居て からだちゃんかわいっすよね～ 性格良くて料理も出来て You're so lucky Iokawa // You have such a cute sister // She's so cute // She has a good personality and can cook
あ～あオレが後22年若いか からだちゃんがあと8年年取ってたらなー Ahh if only I were 22 years younger or if Karada-chan were 8 years older
*もしくはお兄ちゃんになり隊* Team or we want to become an older brother
あんまり具体的な数字出さんといて下さい Please don't make such accurate calculations
Pg 49
からだ！ Karada!
ヒロ兄！ Hiro-nii!
良かったです！ お昼に間に合いました I'm glad I made it セーフセーフ Safe safe
あ こんにちわ Oh hello
Pg 50
こんにちわんこ！からだチャン マー兄って呼んでね Hello there Karada-chan! Call me Ma-nii
じゃあボクはコウ兄で Then call me Kou-nii
え え Uh uh 呼ばなくて良いからな You don't have to call them that あ Ah
でもどうしたんだ今日 遅かったなぁ Why were you do late? What happened?
それが出がけにお弁当落としちゃって I dropped it on my way out それで作り直してたのか？ And you re-made it? 中身は前のとちょっと変わってるけど 玉子焼きは入ってますから It's a little different but there are egg rolls in here
おう Good
Pg 51
マー兄のは？ Where's Ma-nii's? コウ兄の分は？ Where's Kou-nii's? え じゃあ明日・・・ Um then tomorrow... ・・・本気で作ってこなくていいからな You really don't have to make them...
でも 手間はいっしょですから Oh but it's the same level of effort
リクエストしていい？ Can I make a request? あんまりレパートリーありませんが My repertoire is small but...
玉子焼き！ Egg roles!
甘いやつがいいね～ Sweet ones~
からだちゃんの塩味じゃん 盗み食いしてびっくりしたし I once ate one and was shocked that yours are salty
Pg 52
女の子の作ってくれるお弁当って甘い玉子焼きってイメージがさ たI usually imagine that girls make sweet egg roles まには甘いの作く・・・ I guess I can make sweet ones...
あ それは却下ス Oh no, I veto なんで どうしても Why?
自分の妹が他の男の好みで味つけを変えるのが許せないんですよ He won't allow another guy to ask his sister to change how she makes it, I bet わー心せまいっす wow he's so petty
ごめんなさい I'm sorry
ウチの お弁当の玉子焼きはヒロ兄の好きな塩味限定です！ My egg roles are limited to Hiro-nii's favorite salty ones!
Pg 53
という訳なんで So that's how it goes
いいなあ か・・・勝ち誇りやがってこの兄バカめー！！ I'm jealous...stop gloating your triumph! You stupid siblings!
Pg 54
やっぱりね アイツの妹さんか・・・ どうりで似てると思った I knew it//it's his sister...//I knew they looked alike

ニンゲンは Can we humans 「今」という時に生きながら live in this time called “now” 「今」という時間を感じる事が出来ないのではないでしょうか And experience “now” as we live through it? 私たちが見た事触れた事はその瞬間から過去のものになり Everything we look and touch becomes the past as soon as we see and feel them 見よう触れようとする行為は自分のまだ知り得ない未来への干渉なのです Our attempt to look at and feel things, is how we try to meddle with our unknown future
Pg 13
過去は確定であり自らの積み重ねであり消す事は出来ません The past is concrete and a result of everything that makes us who we are, and it cannot be erased
第一話 Part 1
そして未来は常に未知であり可能性に満ちていても思うがままに出来ず And the future is always unknown; full of opportunities but we’re unable to freely do as we please
