章节 3
1. She gave me a typical adachi answer.
2. "If I show up to school tomorrow, then sure."
3. "Thanks. I'll return the umbrella tomorrow."
4. I went to adachi's house yesterday.
5. "Well, I am a good student, after all."
6. The next day, adachi once again came to school.
7. Having spent the morning on the second floor of the gym with her in the usual way...
8. What is she even talking about?
9. "Listen. I can hear sound coming from upstairs."
10. I bet I'll need to go buy pastries again...
11. It is now time for the usual lunch break.
12. Or, perhaps not.
1. "Hmm? I recognize that voice. Don't tell me that it's those two..."
2. "Ugh!"
3. Knew it.
4. "Ooh."
5. "Look, there she is!"
6. "Hm?"
7. "Don't "Ugh" your friends."
8. "..."
9. Hmm... What to do?
10. "Shimamura, you have company!?"
11. "Grr!"
1. "Ah!"
2. "Oops."
3. "In any case, I don't want to talk standing up. Let's sit down first."
4. "It's rude to sit down by yourself."
5. "Adachi."
1. "Oh."
2. "How did you know this was the place?"
3. "So, it was my fault? Sorry, adachi..."
4. "I saw you looking at that table tennis book at the store, so I figured there was a good chance."
5. "No matter how you look at it, yeah, that's definitely her."
6. "Is that person over there "Adachi"?"
7. "She's right there, just ask her yourself."
8. "Don't tell me... Nagafuji, you forgot again?"
9. "Right, right. Adachi."
1. "Hmm, I guess you could say that."
2. "You're friends with her?"
3. "Huh? So, the other day..."
4. "Nah, whatever."
5. "My name is nagafuji."
6. "Anyway, let's introduce ourselves."
7. "My name is hino."
8. "I'll keep that in mind."
9. "Hino... Nagafuji..."
1. "Nice to meet ya."
2. "..."
3. "Do teachers not come here? There's gym classes and stuff, yet you're not getting caught."
4. "Thanks."
5. "Ah!"
6. "I bought us some pastries. I thought we'd eat them together."
7. Pretty weird, considering the smooth curve her breasts draw.
8. There is often a sharp disparity between the tone of nagafuji's and what she says.
9. "Hmm. They must all be pretty irresponsible then. Or just have bad eyes."
10. "I sit down silently when there's class. That's how I don't get caught."
1. "The stuff you like is fine."
2. "What would you like, adachi?"
3. "Hey, shima-mura."
4. "Thank you."
5. "Okay. Here you go then."
6. "Cool. Remember that girl wearing a spacesuit I talked about the other day? She's pretty interesting. Wanna come see her?"
7. "Well, I don't have any plans, at least."
8. "Are you free on satur-day?"
9. "No, no. That's a bonus."
10. "Anyway, I talked with her about you, and she said she wanted to meet you."
11. "Just say it straight, you want me to come fish with you."
1. It's like she's saying "Don't lump me with that idler"...
2. "Can't you just take nagafuji with you?"
3. "I'm busy with my club."
4. "All right!"
5. "Also, can we play ping-pong?"
6. "No, let's play it!"
7. "There you have it, shimamura. Come with me."
8. "Hmm... Well, why not."
9. "Sure, I don't mind. What are we betting on it, though?"
10. "Huh? Do we have to bet something...?"
11. "After I'm done eating, okay?"
12. "Okay. Nagafuji, let's play!"
13. Hino and nagafuji talk a lot, but not to adachi.
14. It's also clear that she has no intention of walking over to us.
1. "Adachi..."
2. "I wonder if she'll come tomorrow..."
3. The rackets and ball we were using...
4. This isn't a place for us four to get together and have noisy fun.
5. Why do I feel so... Uncomfortable?
6. The reason I like it in the first place...
7. Hino and nagafuji coming here just doesn't feel right.
8. Is the unique sense of relaxation...
9. That can only be achieved when it's just me and adachi.
1. The next day.
2. Today's not like the other days. It's unlikely that I will see her, no matter how long I wait.
3. Just like I thought, adachi isn't showing up.
4. There's a good chance that she will never come here again.
5. If I'm unlucky, it's possible that I won't see her face until the graduation.
6. Adachi's house... No, I shouldn't go. I have a feeling that she's not home.
7. This is where she was that one time.
8. Unlucky, huh?
9. Is that so?
1. There's so much that I don't know about adachi, and sometimes it annoys me.
2. This is where she often sat.
3. What's going through adachi's mind?
4. The way she sat yesterday when hino and nagafuji came, away from me, she felt to distant.
5. I'll probably...
6. Never see her again.
1. "Slam!"
2. "Whoa!"
3. "!"
4. "Huh? Huh?"
5. "Sorry. I tried to brake, but didn't make it in time."
6. "Adachi!"
7. "Still, I'm glad."
8. "Is that why you said "Slam" when you hit me?"
1. "You don't live this way."
2. "Hmm... Yeah, I don't."
3. "Oops."
4. "About what?"
5. "Huh? Are you sure?"
6. Glad that I was able to see her again.
7. "?"
8. "..."
9. "Well, what- ever."
10. Her bag's in her bike's basket... Along with a plastic bag?
11. "!!"
12. "!"
13. She's also wearing her uniform. Did she come to school today?
1. "What's this?"
2. "Sh-shi-mamura, take it..."
3. "These are all things you can buy at the school canteen."
4. "A cream bun, a stuffed bread, and mineral water..."
5. "I was thinking about giving you these during lunch break."
6. "I'll GO next time."
7. "Really?"
8. "Oh."
9. "Could this be the "Next time"?"
10. "Lunch break?"
1. "Yep."
2. "!"
3. "Huh!?"
4. "Wanna drink?"
5. "Th- thank you."
6. "Glug!"
1. "I'm glad that you didn't go home with your other friends."
2. "Puha!"
3. "I would have missed my chance to give you these."
4. "...!"
5. I don't really see how them being around would've stopped you from doing that.
6. Right, she did say that I was her only friend earlier. I see what's happening now.
7. That's the word. Sulking.
8. Though usually all adult-like, she's now sulking like a child.
1. Adachi came to bring me lunch just so that she could see me?
2. So, could it be that...
3. I'd get embarrassed too and be unable to look her in the eyes.
4. I bet she'd get mad if I said that to her face.
5. But, there is one thing...
6. "Adachi."
7. That I can ask...
1. "Are you walking with me to my house?"
2. "Yep, that's the plan."
3. And that adachi can answer. That thing is...
4. "Yep, yep."
5. "I'll need to make you a map, won't I?"
6. "Please do."
1. The next day.
2. "Good morning, hino."
3. Today's the day I promised to go fishing with hino.
4. "Ooh, classic shima-mura."
5. "Sounds like a nice place. Where can I find it?"
6. "You're like a woman straight from the shimamura nation."
7. "Does it really look that much like something bought from Shimamura?"
8. "Here, shi-mamura. I bought this fishing rod from a priest at the flea market for 300 yen. Take it."
9. "Right behind an elementary school..."
10. "Still, I never knew that there was a fishing pond here."
11. "It's like a twig that's been painted black..."
12. "Antique, huh? Thanks."
1. "By the way, shima."
2. "You're not the kind of girl who..."
3. "Refuses to put on her own bait, right?"
4. "Huh? Worms are a no-go for you too?"
5. "Definitely. No way. Impossible."
6. Looking at them without screaming is the furthest I can go.
7. "Well, I guess I have no choice. Here, I'll share this fishing paste with you."
8. "Caviar's pretty good, too."
9. Caviar? For the fish? I'd rather eat that myself, personally.
10. "Paste? I don't really get it, but sure, thanks."
11. What kind of person is adachi?
12. "What kind? Like, normal?"
13. "That's not an answer, shimamu."
1. I do like hino's way of thinking, how she always tries to look at things positively.
2. "The fact that she made a friend means that she's not a bad person, in my opinion."
3. "Look, since she's your friend, I want to get on good terms with her."
4. "After all, she mainly drinks mineral water."
5. "I think water's her favourite drink."
6. "What does adachi do on days like these?"
7. "Hmm... I wonder how much it's okay for me to tell you... It's not like I know all that much myself, either."
8. "Is she planning on taming her with food? Would that work on adachi?"
9. "I see, I see. She likes water, huh"
10. "Are the fish biting?"
11. "Well, not like I wanted to meet her or anything."
12. "That weirdo hino talked about, is she not coming today?"
13. "Come to think of it..."
1. "Wh-"
2. "Wh-"
3. "Whoa!?"
4. "Might you be the shimamura?"
5. "Please, call me chikama yashiro."
6. "Khooh!"
7. "Khooh!"
8. "I have come to earth to search for my brethren."
9. "Gulp..."
10. "..."
11. "Brethren?"
1. Is that the sound of her breathing!?
2. "Khooh! Khooh!"
