1. I don't wish for anything special.
2. I'm fine with settling for what's "Ordinary" and want to become happy only with what's "Ordinary."
3. That's really all I want.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. And things that are irreplaceable to them.
2. Things that they are unable to see with their eyes,
3. The two girls who have
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. The incident took place in the spring break
2. Right before I was getting ready to enter high school...
3. "My head hurts..."
4. "Ugh..."
5. "I wonder if it's because it's raining..."
6. "..."
1. "Well, iwate is known to be the snowy prefecture, after all."
2. "How is it possible that we're still getting snow in april?"
3. "Wait, no, looks like it's snowing..."
4. "Plus, it's really cold out."
5. "Geez — ..."
1. "I-I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was heading...!"
2. "Ouch..."
3. "Are you hurt anywhere...?"
1. "Do..!!"
2. "Do you happen to... Play the piano?"
3. "Eh?"
1. "Thank you very much!"
2. "Eh?"
3. "Ah!"
4. She's so beautiful...
5. I can't remember if we had a girl like her living around here.
7. What a cool girl...
8. ......
9. But...
1. "...Then again, beautiful people look wonderful in anything..."
2. "So it's not like she needs my advice..."
3. I wonder why she chooses to dress in such a boyish style when she's so tall and pretty.
4. "Oh, shoot, I'm going to be late!!"
1. "Eh!?"
2. "Well, there are many reasons,"
3. "But the main one is..."
4. "This piano is going to get removed from the classroom!?"
5. "Why!?"
6. "Of course you wouldn't know!"
7. "It's only been about 2 weeks since I found out myself!"
8. "Oh..."
9. "I am"
10. "Pregnant."
1. "I realized I couldn't keep up with my job as I have."
2. "And with all that's going on,"
3. "I'll also be getting married, on top of that,"
4. "...so that's why,"
5. "Thanks~!"
6. "...I see, so, that's the reason why."
7. "Congratulations."
8. "...Um, Kindaichi-san?"
9. "Um, yeah, I'm fine, it's just that the weather's not that great today..."
10. "So I got a bit of a headache is all...!!"
11. "You're looking a little pale. Are you alright?"
12. "Eh?"
13. "Sorry about all this."
1. "I would be so happy if"
2. "I'll be sure to take responsibility, and refer you to your next potential piano teacher."
3. "You continued practicing piano even after you become a high school student."
4. *POURIIIING*
5. "I see..."
6. "Ah..."
7. "Oh?"
1. "Did you handle the rain okay...?"
2. "Hold on."
3. "Welcome home, Saki!"
4. "Yeah."
5. "Geez."
6. "Just..."
7. "What are you looking all down for?"
8. "So Umehara-sensei is pregnant."
9. "It's not that surprising a development."
10. "Well, she is 32 years old, after all."
11. "Ooh."
12. "Sensei has always..."
13. "It's just that."
1. "...She even said something like that."
2. "There are no chances of meeting anyone after you graduate college."
3. "And just recently"
4. "Been teaching me piano ever since I was 7 years old,"
5. "That's due to"
6. "I was completely clueless..."
7. "And she never showed any indication of ever having a boyfriend."
8. "The moon on a rainy night,"
9. "Or so they call it."
10. "...The moon on a rainy night...?"
11. "That's right."
1. "...oh. I never knew an expression like that existed."
2. "It does."
3. "Just like the moon when it's hidden by the rain."
4. "It's a metaphor for things that you can't see with your eyes,"
5. "Well, since you're entering high school, it's right around the time you'd do so?"
6. "But, hold on!!"
7. "Eh? Why would I?"
8. "So, are you quitting piano, then?"
9. "What made you think that!?"
10. "You were never really that into playing the piano, were you?"
11. "Saki,"
12. "But,"
13. "Sensei told me that she'd refer me to a new teacher..."
1. "That's not true...!!"
2. "Ah."
3. "You're fine."
4. "S-sorry for raising my voice."
5. "Yup."
6. "Is that so?"
7. "It's just that I've kept it up all this time"
8. "That it would just be such a waste to stop doing it now. That's all."
9. "Eh?"
10. "Aaah."
11. "By the way, what happened to your hand?"
1. "Hmm~"
2. "And get this!! She was astoundingly beautiful!!"
3. "Who knew we had such a beautiful girl living here in the neighborhood!!"
4. "I accidentally fell down while on my way to piano lessons,"
5. "and a girl I happened to run into gave me this band-aid..."
6. "I wonder if she also goes to the same high school I'm going to..."
7. "We happened to run into each other and to be around the same age."
8. "I think she and I might be in the same school year..."
9. I might be able to meet her again.
10. ...if she does...
1. "No way ..."
1. "And, on top of that, we sit right next to each other..."
2. "Not only do we go to the same school, but we're also in the same class."
3. She really is here...
4. Is this what you call "fate"...!?
5. I wonder if I should thank her for last time...
6. "How do I put it...? ...Besides,"
7. So she might not remember my face...
8. Then again, it was pretty dark out that night,
9. "Thank you for your hard work during the entrance ceremony, everyone."
10. "Welcome!"
11. She's kind of giving off these... "don't talk to me" vibes...
2. "Let's see"
3. "I am your homeroom teacher, sekiguchi satoko."
4. "Let's all get along this coming year."
5. "Let me make you all aware of one very important matter."
6. "But before that..."
7. "On that note, let me have everyone introduce themselves right away..."
8. "......"
1. "Eh?"
2. "What...?"
3. "She is new to this school, just like you all are."
4. "This student here is oikawa kanon-san."
5. "However, oikawa-san..."
1. "Is actually"
2. "Deaf."
1. "Isn't she supposed to attend a school for the deaf?"
2. "For real?"
3. "Why did she come to our school...?"
4. "Eh?"
5. "With that said, everyone, please take the initiative to support Oikawa-san if she encounters any difficulties."
6. "Deaf students can also attend regular school, not just a school for the deaf."
7. "Alright, everyone, quiet down."
8. "Well, for that matter..."
9. "How are we supposed to talk to her?"
10. "You're telling us to support her, but we don't speak sign language."
11. "Excuse me, sensei!"
12. "Yes, what is it?"
13. "Even among the population of those with hearing disabilities,"
1. Of course, that depends on whether their condition is congenital or acquired,
2. the degree of impairment, and the environment the person was raised in.
3. "Only about 20% of us know how to use sign language."
4. There are also many who opt for a different method of communication outside of sign language.
5. "And read other people's lips to understand what they are saying."
6. "Because of that, I'm able to speak normally."
7. "I have sensorineural hearing loss."
8. "I was able to hear up until I was 6 years old."
1. "Assuming that "Hearing impaired = sign language""
2. "Is a common misconception by non-deaf individuals."
3. "Now,"
4. "With that said,"
5. "In fact, it'll only bother me."
6. "I won't be needing any support,"
7. "So please don't give me special treatment."
1. She couldn't talk to me even after I tried speaking with her.
2. "I see..."
3. "So that's why, back then..."
4. "As I thought, I still..."
5. "...but"
1. "Could you come over for a minute?"
2. "Kin-dai-chi-san."
3. "I know what she said in class today..."
4. "But in the end, I do believe she might encounter difficulties throughout her time here."
5. "I wanted to talk to you about oikawa-san."
1. "......"
2. "Since you sit right next to her, kindaichi-san,"
3. "Would you mind looking out for her a bit for me?"
4. "Sure, I can do that."
5. "......"
10. "Then I leave her in your care."
11. "Are you eyeing this manga?"
12. "...aah."
13. "?"
14. "What's that...?"
1. "I thought that I should educate myself on this matter, as well."
3. "Just like oikawa-san,"
4. "This book has a protagonist that suffers from hearing impairment."
5. "Eh!?"
6. "I only have the first volume, though."
7. "Would you like to try reading it?"
8. "Of course."
9. "Okay then, I'll be counting on you starting tomorrow!"
10. "......"
11. "I'm fine."
12. "Really?"
13. Some- thing just
1. "Bath's ready-yyy!"
2. "Sakiiii!"
3. Doesn't seem right to me.
4. "Be there in a seeeec."
5. "Okaaay."
6. Even though they can't hear, they can still play instru-ments... And sing...
7. That's ama-zing...
9. Were not able to hear any sounds what-so-ever.
11. My whole life I've always thought that the hearing impaired
1. "Or not hear anything depending on the situation."
2. "When they're in a loud place, the sounds all join together and they're able to hear"
3. "As sound-waves bend, there are certain ranges that deaf people can register,"
4. "...but there are some who can."
5. Q. What's one of the hardest things about being deaf?
6. A. Others can't tell that we're deaf simply by our appearance, so a lot of people think that
7. We "Can" actually hear and won't believe that we truly can't.
8. Just like one of those "People."
9. ...I'm also
1. "Of course, that depends on whether their condition is congenital or acquired."
2. That she is unable to hear.
3. I also haven't fully acknowledged it.
4. Even though she told us so clearly.
5. It makes me recall
6. As for me, rather than being sad,
7. my mom and the rest of the family were so sad that they were crying.
8. The time when
9. my grandma passed away.
10. I was dumbfounded.
11. ...But I was just talking normally with her the other day...
1. There are people who have disabilities.
2. And on this earth...
3. Wars are still taking place in the world today.
4. All living things eventually die.
5. "I seriously haven't changed a bit from when I was a kid... And not in a good way..."
6. It doesn't feel any different than a fantasy.
7. It still doesn't seem real.
8. Even though I know that in my head,
9. Specifically mentioned in that book.
10. Besides, it's not like oikawa-san is
11. "It's a good thing I didn't borrow that manga."
12. "I didn't mean any ill will towards sekiguchi-sensei, though."
13. ...oikawa-san is
14. Or even on the internet...
1. "Are you able"
2. "To hear even just a little bit of sound?"
3. Oh, so she didn't realize I was talking to her.
4. What?
5. "Um.."
1. "Eehh!!"
2. "In my ears!"
3. "...yeah, since I'm wearing my hearing aids..."
4. "Are you able"
5. "To hear even just a little bit of sound?"
6. "I can't."
7. "Then, can you hear my voice as I'm talking to you right now?"
8. "When we're in such a loud place."
9. "It's hard for me to hear anything you're saying"
10. "Hey."
11. "So, in other words, if we were in a much quieter place..."
12. "Oh"
13. "...I see..."
1. "Eh...?"
2. "Did the teacher put you up to this?"
3. "I already told you, didn't I?"
4. "I don't need any extra support."
5. "We might as well get along, right...?"
6. "...it's not what you think."
7. "It's just, since we sit right next to each other,"
8. "Your name is... Saki, right?"
9. "......"
10. "You did, but..."
11. "I said I didn't want special treatment."
12. "Has anyone ever told you?"
13. Remem-bered my name...
14. S-she...
15. "Say, saki,"
1. "I seriously wonder if there are people in this world"
2. "Always think about what it's like to be in another person's shoes."
3. "Who actually abide by that saying."
4. "It's impossible for me."
5. "At the very least,"
6. "Don't understand the feelings of people that can't hear."
7. "Just like how you"
8. "The feelings of those that can hear 'normally.'"
9. "As the years go by, it becomes increasingly harder for me to understand"
1. "Don't concern yourself with me."
2. "I mean, it's not like we have a way to measure how another person feels."
3. "It's impossible for two people who don't understand each other to begin with to get along."
4. "You should go and make friends"
5. "With the people over there, saki."
6. "......"
7. "But!!"
8. "......"
