CHAPTER 24
by Ina-chan
p. 164
Narration: This feeling?
What is this attraction.
p. 165
Kyou: It's a small temple, isn't it.
Tooru: Yes.
Yuki: It has a "homey"
atmosphere. I like it.
Kyou: To request to
go to a temple such as this...
Tooru: Eh? Is that strange?
Kyou: ...nothing. It's
fine.
Yuki: But, I'm glad
that the weather is good. I was a little worried for a while.
p. 166
Tooru: Mom would be
so delighted. Because everyone came to visit her.
Kyou:......
Yuki: Uotani-san and
Hanajima-san went to the grave ahead of time, so they must be waiting
for us
Tooru: Yes, surely they...
Arisa: TOORU
Tooru: Ah
p. 167
Arisa: Ouuusss, it's
a great day for a grave visit, ne
Tooru: Yes.
Kyou: WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU BOTH WEARING---!!
Arisa: What's wrong
with it?
p. 168
Saki: I thought something
plain would be enough...
Kyou: THAT'S NOT!!!
Yuki: Uotani-san...
doesn't that tokkou fuku (Ina-chan: a special uniform worn to identify
your gang membership)... stand out...
Arisa: Ah, you do know
a lot. This is Kyoko-san's true history. Akai Chou's (Ina-chan:
Red Butterfly) commanding leader tokkou fuku
Yuki: Akai... chou
Tooru: Mom's name and
title when she was leader of a gang
Yuki: [thinking] Leader
of a gang... and she's smiling
p. 169
Arisa: Our honour is
at stake, let's go quickly!
Yuki and Kyou: [thinking]
They're cheerful about it. I think they're cheerful about it.
Yuki: It's already clean
Kyou: Who would come
to do that.
[Family marker: Honda]
Tooru: Are......? Surely
it must be grandfather. Grandfather knows what Mom likes to eat.
p. 170
Yuki: Gra...? Ah, him...
Tooru: Yes
Yuki: Whose father is
your grandfather?
Tooru: My Dad's father
Arisa: [thinking] Kyoko-san
was estranged from her parents
Yuki:...... Your father,
what happened to him?
Tooru: He caught a cold...
it would seem. I was still little so I can't remember well.
p. 171
Yuki narration: [flashback
to chapter 13] Ah, so that's why... the reason at that time...
Tooru flashback: "Th-that's
terrible. So you have a fever!?"
Tooru: Well then, Mom,
we came.
Saki: We came.
Arisa: The old man did
a good job cleaning.
Yuki: ......
Yuki narration: Her
father is dead. Her mother is dead. ......so how is it
p. 172
Yuki narration: How
come from that gloomy and shadowed trap, still, she always smiles.
She continues to be cheerful. I remember the day of the accident.
A teacher came in the middle of classwork to call a girl. After
a short conversation, she rushed out of the classroom. The girl's
two friends quickly followed. At first, the classroom became noisy,
and inside 'One of that person's relatives must have had an accident'
I thought lightly back then.
p. 173
Yuki narration: I took
lightly her existence back then. "Honda Tooru" was just
some other person.
Yuki: [thinking]...to
name her
Yuki narration: Now,
living in the same house, getting closer
Tooru: Yuki-kun, please
look at these. They're splendid flowers, aren't they?
p. 174
Yuki narration: Laughing
together by my side. How mysterious. It's really strange. This feeling.
p. 175
Saki: Arara, since everything
is all clean
Arisa: Thanks to the
help of the old man.
Tooru: Yes.
Saki: Do you need help...
Arisa: It's fine...
you're too slow in offering
Kyou:...... Hanajima.
You... ....that. The shape of a person's soul, can you really see
it.
p. 176
Saki:....... I don't
know what you think I see. I don't have reikan (Ina-chan: sacred
intuition)
Kyou: Ha? Then what
about the denpa...
Saki: Denpa and reikan
are entirely different things. Denpa results from a person's thoughts.
Through the ears, words resound directly to the brain, such is like
denpa...
Kyou: You don't have
to explain it.
Saki: ...what is the
reason for that question of yours...
Kyou: ...nothing. Somehow,
it's not significant.
Saki: ......
p. 177
Saki: Eventually, a
living person's is strongest... Denpa would be the same. A dead
person's denpa would be very weak. Now, the thoughts of a living
person had been strong since this morning... still... sou... Your
denpa is resounding. Why is that? Does standing in front of this
grave cause you to have regretful feelings?
p. 178
[Kyou spins around to
look at Saki in shock]
Saki: ...... Chaos.
Tooru: Kyou-kun? Is
there something wrong?
p. 179
Kyou: It's nothing.
Arisa: Eeeh...
Tooru: Sou, well then...
Ah. My two friends, please come over here.
Kyou: Ah?
Arisa: Snacks are ready.
Kyou: YOU SPREAD OUT
A PACKED LUNCH IN FRONT OF A GRAVE---!!!
Arisa: Aaah? It's okay,
Kyoko-san was delighted of noisy people.
Kyou: We could be seen
from the temple gate
Arisa: It's fine, we'll
simply apologize---
p. 179
Yuki: [thinking] But
generally, this isn't... eating in front of dead person's grave,
that is.
Arisa: First of all,
sit down Kyon and be quiet.
Kyou: Fine.
Tooru: Kyou-kun, what
would you want?
Kyou: I'm fine.
Tooru: Yes.
Yuki: Uotani-san and
everyone had a good relationship with Honda-san's mom?
Arisa: Absolutely. Since
before, I've treasured and aspired to her legend.
Kyou: Legend~~~
Arisa: That's the legend
of Akai Chou.
p. 180
Arisa: As Kyoko-san's
bike rolls by, looking like an extraordinary butterfly... her red
tail lights...
Kyou: I get it already
Saki: This is delicious.
Arisa: You have no imagination
at all
Kyou: Ah!?
[grave stone: Honda]
p.181
Arisa: Somehow, about
those three, it's unexpected. Recently, they've become much closer.
The aloof prince seemed to have disappeared. Kyon, somehow, does
everything that Tooru tells him. It's comforting to see. One they,
they might even proclaim their love for Tooru.
Saki: Ara, no. I won't
approve of their company with Tooru just like that.
Arisa: Are you a mother-in-law?
p. 182
Saki: Maa, I was half-joking
Arisa: So you were also
half-serious.
Saki: Souma Yuki and
Souma Kyou are both still in confusion... chaos... pledges are impossible
if they cannot separate from the dark shadows ruling their thoughts
and their hearts... Each person has some aspect of it... but those
two are categorized as serious wounds... Their thoughts are limited
and have no room yet for love.
Moreover, saying things about those two is one thing. Leaving out
the the matter of the second part.
Arisa: That they're
living with Tooru. But, ma...
p. 183
Arisa: Meaning even
though that they're all dense, such feelings begin to "bloom"
without realization.
Saki: No way... thinking
that Tooru would end up with someone... I'm going to cry...
Arisa: That's going
too far.
Tooru: Tea is delicious
on a tiring first day of the month such as today~~~ Ryaaa~~
p. 184
[Tooru at the engawa]
Tooru: But it was a
fun visit today.
Tooru narration: I'm
glad Yuki-kun and Kyou-kun were introduced to Mom... Mom... those
two are always helping me. It would be good for you to meet Shigure-san
as well. Mom, I'm living with them in this house. Everyday is fun
and great. So don't worry mom, please watch over us.
p. 185
Tooru narration: Mom
Kyou: ...what the. Why
is this octopus sleeping like this... Oi, you're going to catch
a cold. A COLD. Hey, get up.
Tooru: Ah ha ha ha ha
ha---- ha...
Kyou: [exasperated,
thinking to self] ...... She sleeps like a little kid. Oi... [bends
down over Tooru's sleeping figure]
p. 186
Kyou: I'm sorry... na...
[Yuki walking in the
hallway to his room, sees papers strew form Tooru's open door]
Yuki: !?
p. 187
Yuki: [thinking] Ah......
the wind through the open window... [surprised look, sees the hat
on the floor]
Yuki narration: Hat.
[flashback to Yuki retrieving
Tooru's things from the landslide with the mice]
Yuki narration: ------...
What's this hat. It wasn't there when I dug up her luggage from
the landslide.
Yuki: [thinking, picking
up papers] I better pick these up before it spreads more.
[Hand holding a piece
of paper freeze in midair]
p. 188
[Yuki turns around,
with a surprised look interposed with image of a child's foot walking
on a street, a boy's hidden face smiling as he held the rim of a
cap...]
p. 189
[...a little girl, hat
falling off her head, as she runs toward her happy mother]
[Kyou looking down at
Tooru's sleeping face tenderly]
Narration: This feeling.
What is this attraction.
p. 190
[Kyou, brushing Tooru's
hair from her face]
Narration: A heat's
that undeveloped, now still asleep, a flower in the chest.
