1. Whoa.
2. Glad I'm not in a sports club. That looks... Sweaty.
3. "Yep!"
4. "Oh, hey. You're back."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Awe-some!"
2. "Thanks."
3. "After all the help you gave me with the maid outfits? You bet!"
4. "No prob!"
5. "My treat!"
6. "You taking a break, too, kanon-chan? Let's have a drink!"
7. "Wow!"
8. "Are you sure?"
10. "Saki's? Not so much."
11. "Mine, too!"
12. "And it was really easy to move around in."
13. "I like that the skirt is nice and long."
14. "Yeah, don't think so. Ha ha."
15. "But maybe that's just 'cause the model was so great!"
16. "Personally, I liked the one you tried on the best."
17. "So. About those maid outfits..."
18. "How's yours coming?"
19. "...I need to work on my story for lit club, too!"
20. "It's... Not."
21. "I sorta feel like we should look at more options."
22. "Then again..."
23. "Yeah, it should be fine."
24. "Okay, so you think we can go with that one?"
1. Besides...
2. ...it's kind of embarrassing.
3. "..."
4. "But for some reason, I could play piano non-stop for hours."
5. "I feel like I have to drag out every word. I just can't focus!"
6. "Maybe writing's just not for me."
7. "I hear ya!"
8. ...and putting it into my story.
9. "...if I don't respond right away... ...it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you."
10. "...thanks to you, saki."
11. "...we could live together."
12. ...on everything with saki...
13. "...or just that!"
14. "We can do some window shopping..."
15. I guess it's because I'm thinking back...
16. "Hi, girls!"
17. "?!"
18. Shoot! Maybe my whole approach is wrong!
1. "I see."
2. "Could you ask her to come by the faculty room when she gets back?"
3. "Oh..."
4. "The president's not here?"
5. "She's at the library!"
6. "Did she step out?"
7. "Huh?"
8. "Oh! Yes. Hello."
9. "I didn't know you'd be here today, Oikawa-san."
10. "...?"
11. "I'm sorry to ask."
12. "I know this isn't club-related, but, well..."
13. "?!"
14. "What's that?"
15. "...There's something I've been meaning to ask you about."
16. "Actually..."
1. "Am I right in thinking..."
2. "...that your mother is a piano teacher?"
3. "Uh... Huh."
4. "He just said he wanted to do a consultation."
5. "He didn't sign her up yet or anything!"
6. Miura-sensei's daughter...
7. ...is coming here for lessons?!
8. "True..."
9. Mom's such a fiend, and his daughter's still just a kid...
10. "I tried to talk him out of it!"
1. "She said she didn't want to give her daughters special treatment."
2. "Hey, so was I, once! And my mom was still a total drill sergeant!"
4. "I mean, she's still in kinder-garten!"
5. "...but even your mom wouldn't be that hard on a kid, would she?"
6. "I guess things are different now."
7. "Well..."
8. "I feel like she's been enjoying teaching more since she took you on."
10. "Maybe my mom is, too!"
11. "Who knows? This could be a good thing!"
12. "Just the other day, she was saying it might be nice to have more students again."
1. "I'm getting it all together in my head!"
2. "You said you were gonna write earlier."
3. "By the way, how's the story coming?"
4. "Sure you are..."
5. "I mean, miura-sensei's daughter."
6. "Anyway, it all depends on whether the kid even wants to do it."
7. "Yeah."
8. Three days later...
9. "Thanks so much!"
10. "I know you must be very busy. Thanks so much for making time for us today."
1. "...why my piano school?"
2. "If I may ask..."
3. "Nice to meet you."
4. "Nice to meet you."
5. "Oh, not at all. You must be Haruka Miura-san."
6. "You've got energy. That's good."
7. Hee hee hee!
8. "Ah, yes. Well..."
9. "There are franchise schools all over the country that cater to beginners."
10. "It's only Haruka and me at home, so scheduling can be an issue."
11. "Their lesson times are also a little inflexible."
12. "I thought individual students might not get as much attention."
13. "But most of those places seem to favor group lessons."
14. "We did consider it."
16. "Your website was one of the first to pop up."
17. "That's why I thought a private school might be better."
18. What?!
13. "I'm afraid so..."
14. "?"
15. "...you found that desiccated excuse for a website?"
16. "Don't tell me..."
17. "...and I saw a picture of a very young kanon oikawa."
18. "But then I happened to click on the student accolades page..."
19. "I saw it said that you had stopped teaching for personal reasons."
20. "So that's the story."
21. "Ha ha ha!"
22. "That made me think you must be teaching again, so I asked kanon-san, and, ah..."
23. "...I gathered that saki kindaich-san was coming here for lessons."
24. "Yep..."
25. "Your mom is saki-chan's piano teacher?! No way!"
26. "And from her conversations at school..."
1. "It's fine!"
2. "I'm sorry. I haven't even asked you how you feel about all this..."
3. "Best of all, you're right in the neighborhood."
4. "So I'll be able to pick Haruka up and drop her off."
5. "Now, we haven't asked the most important question."
6. "...Why do YOU want to learn piano?"
7. "Haruka-san..."
8. "...I've wanted to try it..."
9. "...Forever!"
10. "Um!"
11. "'Cause..."
1. "Haruka! You have to use your words, or sensei won't understand you."
2. "Don't worry, sweetheart. You can say whatever's on your mind."
3. "?"
4. "But..."
5. "..."
6. "Yes?"
7. "I..."
8. "I've been holding it this whole time!"
9. "I need to go to the restroom!"
1. "Oh, don't worry about it! She was just nervous."
2. "I'm so sorry! I don't know what to say!"
3. "At least she spoke up. That's commendable."
5. "Or did you just recently decide to start?"
6. "Have you been looking for a teacher all this time?"
7. "Can I ask you something?"
8. "...God, I'm so embarrassed."
9. "Ah..."
10. "Haruka-san..."
11. "...said she's wanted to play piano forever."
1. ...Haruka's mother...
2. ...passed away last year.
3. ...my wife...
4. I thought this might come up.
5. You see, the thing is...
6. My wife wanted to let her take piano lessons...
7. ...and Haruka loved the idea.
8. Haruka...
9. ...had already shown an interest in piano while my wife was still with us.
10. Then, the other day...
11. But then my wife died...
12. ...and somehow, it never felt like the right time to think about piano lessons.
13. ...I noticed something.
14. "Daddy! Can I start learning piano today?!"
15. "We haven't even found a place yet..."
16. Every morning, she'd say...
17. That's what I would wake up to...
18. "Ha ha ha!"
1. Haruka had stopped...
2. ...even mentioning piano.
3. I'd told myself I would love haruka twice as much to make up for her mother being gone...
4. I won't lie-it was a real shock.
5. ... Totally oblivious to this change in my own daughter.
6. ... And yet there I was...
1. "I can't begin to imagine... ...what it's like to lose a family member."
2. "...And for you, I'm sure."
3. "It must have been so hard... ...for Haruka-san..."
4. "You can't expect yourself to get everything right when you're shouldering all of that."
5. "I hope you won't be too hard on yourself."
6. "...And having to raise a daughter on your own... ...I'm guessing you didn't have much time to really grieve."
7. "What with work..."
1. "...I'm still a poor replacement, at best."
2. "Thank you for saying that."
3. "But..."
4. Haruka lost more...
5. She lost all that precious time she should have had with her.
6. ...than just her mother that day.
7. Haruka won't get to experience any of them.
8. ...a daughter does with her mother...
9. All those little things...
1. "...and regret it later..."
2. "I never want her to feel like she has to miss out on things..."
3. "...just because it's only the two of us at home."
4. "The last thing I want..."
5. "...is for Haruka to lose any more than she already has."
6. "It's too much to hope that I won't make the same mistake again."
7. "But only by chance."
8. "Oh, sure... I happened to notice about the piano lessons."
9. "Hah! A fine job I'm doing!"
1. Obviously, I do everything I can.
2. I read up on things, and I try to connect with the other parents at her school.
3. But I can see it in their eyes. They think a little girl deserves to have a mother.
4. And haruka's a girl.
5. As a father, there are simply things I won't be equipped to help her deal with as she gets older.
6. My wife is gone. And as for haruka...
7. ...I'm all she has l-
8. I know worrying about it won't solve anything.
9. But I just can't stop thinking about it.
1. "...forgive me."
2. "No, it's my fault."
3. "I didn't mean to shout."
4. "Not ever."
5. "..."
6. "Listen to me."
7. "Don't talk like that."
1. "No, I understand. Let's go over the specifics of the lessons, if you don't mind."
2. "S..."
3. "Sorry. I got us completely off topic..."
4. "Of course!"
5. "..."
1. That's...
2. ...a piano!
1. "To keep the rhythm, obviously!"
2. "No! You're supposed to watch my mouth for that!"
3. "Why do you keep looking at the piano?!"
4. "Arrrrgh! Stop, stop!"
5. "Why don't we take a little b-"
6. "Thanks for reminding me..."
7. "You're gonna have to read your classmates' lips, you know!"
8. "And they might not be right next to you like I am!"
9. "..."
10. "Sigh..."
11. "Well, excuse me for singing in perfect english!"
12. "You want me to do it with an accent?!"
13. "Girls?"
14. "Um..."
15. "Your lips are so hard to read."
1. "She's here for a consultation..."
2. "Friend of yours?"
3. "Who's the kid?"
4. "Sure do!"
5. "You learn piano here, too?!"
6. "Aww! You remembered!"
7. "Hey! You're the girl from the movies!"
8. "And then..."
9. "But I had to go to the bathroom."
10. "Oh!"
11. "Not yet."
12. "Are you all done talking with sensei?"
13. "..."
14. "Wow! A real piano!"
15. "...I heard you play!"
1. "Want to give it a try together?"
2. "Sure."
3. "Can I?!"
4. "Saki, switch off with me?"
5. "Huh?!"
6. "Oh, s-sure!"
1. "Oh!"
2. "Uh, y-yes!"
3. "You said you like anpan-man, right?"
4. "Let's start with that, then."
5. "Okay."
1. "..."
2. "One last thing. My lesson fees..."
3. "Yes. Quite sure, thank you."
4. "Are you sure? I mean, it would certainly help, but—"
5. "B— but this is nothing!"
6. "This is the rate for elementary schoolers and under."
7. "All I can say is thank you for giving me a chance to teach your daughter."
8. "N-no, thank you..."
9. "I never want the lesson fee to be the thing that keeps a student from picking up the piano."
10. "There are fewer and fewer children these days... ...and there are so many things they can choose to learn."
1. "So that's settled! Now all we need is haruka-san to-"
2. "It's okay! I didn't, either!"
3. "I'm so sorry! I didn't notice!"
4. "How long has she been gone?!"
5. "Oh, no!"
6. "!"
7. "I wonder if she's feeling ill..."
8. "We've been nothing but trouble."
9. "What a disaster!"
1. "Wow!"
2. "I played anpanman march!"
3. "Yeah, look at you!"
4. "Oh, I don't mind!"
5. "I see she's made herself at home..."
6. "Okay!"
7. "Wanna try it again?"
1. "Wow..."
2. "I was going to have her try out the piano today anyway."
3. "I can hardly remember..."
4. "... The last time I saw her smile like that."
1. "Par-don?"
2. "It gets to you, doesn't it?"
3. "...one second you look up, and they've gone off on their own."
4. "Children!"
5. "No matter how hard you try to protect them..."
6. ...I kept thinking the same thing over and over.
7. ...when kanon lost her hearing...
8. I remem-ber...
1. If only.
2. "It should have been me."
3. So I put my work on hold and spent every moment with her.
4. ...I should be there for kanon as much as I could.
5. I guess you'd call me overprotective.
6. "..."
7. I thought at the very least...
8. ... There are parts of their lives where you just can't go as a parent.
9. But sometimes...
1. But at the same time...
2. ...she's made friends...
3. I know there were times when she got hurt...
4. ...or she was struggling.
5. ...found joy...
6. ...and grown every day.
1. "I don't know for sure, and I never will."
2. "Has anything I've done actually helped her?"
3. "Am I a good mother?"
4. "...all those worries seem to fade away, don't they?"
5. "But when you see your children smiling..."
6. "You flatter me!"
7. "Compared to you, that is."
8. "And I'm realizing I have a lot to learn about being a teacher, too..."
9. "..."
10. "Yes. They do."
1. "Ah, that's kanon oikawa-san."
2. "Yeah!"
3. "That girl with the long hair was super great!"
4. "Well, haruka!"
5. "Wasn't it nice of those girls to teach you piano?"
6. "Daddy, did you know?"
1. That girl...
2. "She says she can't hear!"
3. "She said I hafta look at her when I talk so she can see my face."
4. "Uh-huh."
5. "She told you?"
1. "It's like magic!"
2. "But even though she can't hear, she's so good at piano!"
3. "...I can be like her someday!"
4. "Now, now! That's not magic."
5. "It's the result of countless hours of study and-"
6. "I hope..."
1. I was just as happy as you were...
2. "I can walk on my own!"
3. "Why'd you pick me up, daddy?!"
4. "I'm a big girl now!"
5. ... Haruka.
6. ... To see you playing.
7. "Thank you..."
8. "'kay, but put me down."
9. "Right..."
1. "Hey, mom."
2. "I'm done with my bath."
1. "Go ahead."
2. "Can I have some milk?"
3. "Thank you..."
4. "...for today."
5. "..."
6. "Oh, that?"
7. "I mean, for playing piano..."
8. "...with haruka-chan."
1. "It really took me back."
2. "Yes! You did!"
3. I feel like you just picked it up on your own...
4. "...did I do that?"
5. "I remembered how you used to put me on your lap..."
6. "...and play along with me."
7. "My memory's going..."
8. "No! Am I that old?"
1. "Hey. Thanks, Mom."
2. "It means a lot to me."
3. "So thank you."
4. "...that I can still enjoy music, now that I don't hear so well."
5. "It's only 'cause you taught me piano all those years ago..."
6. "Uh, hello?"
7. "Did I say something wrong?"
8. "No. Not at all."
1. "...Rinne sent me a video of today's choir practice."
2. "Let's go over some of the rocky parts."
3. "Hey! I'm trying to have a moment here, and that's all you can say?!"
4. "I'm so glad you grew up to be as strong as you are kind."
5. "All right. No mercy. Here I go."
6. "Bring it on!"
7. "..."
8. "Oh! So you don't want to know what I thought?"
9. "...No."
10. "Okay, lay it on me."
11. "I could use the feedback."
1. She got one of Mom's "reviews."
2. I know that look.
