// May 10 (Monday)
<2242>
// A brand new week begins, with the days at the workplace again.
<2243> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Good morning."
<2244>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "Yo!"
<2245>
// I guess it simply ended with everyone greeting me.
<2246>
// I still felt like I was out of place.
<2247>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "\m{A}, hold this."
<2248> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What is it?"
<2249>
// Yoshino-san handed me a bundle of paper.
<2250>
// They had English characters written on them.
<2251>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It's a voucher. This is the insulation pipe, and this is the waterproof case..."
<2252>
// Though Yoshino-san explained each thing, I really couldn't understand at all.
<2253>
// May 11 (Tuesday)
<2254> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Good morning."
<2255>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "Yo, boy. Morning."
<2256>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "Morning!"
<2257>
// The next day seems like they might have gotten used to me, calling me 'boy'. Guess it's like that.
<2258>
// Just as I went to get changed, the elderly coworkers stopped me.
<2259>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "Hey young guy, did you see the weather forecast?"
<2260> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, I haven't."
<2261>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "I see. Tonight's gonna be raining. Careful out there."
<2262>\{Người Thợ} ""
// \{Worker} "Nothing can really be done about the rain."
<2263>
// Everyone said.
<2264>
// I guess I have to worry about water just because we're working with electric stuff.
<2265> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Seems like it's rainin gotday."
<2266>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Yeah. The boss said that, too."
<2267> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What're we gonna do when it starts raining?"
<2268>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "We'll work at night then. If it gets worse, we'll hold off."
<2269> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What if it's just raining cats and dogs?"
<2270>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "We'll have to work quickly with a tarpaulin, though it's dangerous."
<2271> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Can we do something like that?"
<2272>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It's because the factory workers won't be waiting."
<2273>
// The clear skies in the morning also become filled with clouds at noon.
<2274>
// We still had one thing to do, but even now it looked like it was about to rain.
<2275> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yoshino-san, it looks like it might rain. Will this still be fine?"
<2276>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You're fussy. Hurry up and get the cover. We gotta finish this up."
<2277>
// Though Yoshino-san was focused on the work, he sometimes clicked his tongue, looking up at the sky.
<2278>
// This was the first time I saw him so nervous.
<2279>
// Feeling cold winds brush against his cheeks, he finally settled things and turned around.
<2280>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "\m{A}, get two tarpaulins, quick!"
<2281> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "O-okay! I got it!"
<2282>
// In haste I ran to the light truck, taking blue-colored sheets and came back.
<2283>
// And just within that time, the asphalt began to dye black.
<2284>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Cover my hand with that. Make sure not to let go!"
<2285>
// I spread out the sheet and desperately covered Yoshino-san.
<2286>
// The rain began hitting us hard without mercy, and the sheet was enveloped in the wind, as if it would rip apart.
<2287>
// But while we went through it, I stopped caring about the rain.
<2288>
// Yoshino-san's performance was completely different.
<2289>
// Even though he should have been used to the same job by now, his speed, accuracy, everything was different.
<2290>
// Even more, when he was done, it seemed so tidy, it was like an example.
<2291>
// I was taught that, though getting the wiring right was important, so was how well the wiring needed to look.
<2292>
// He dealt with the rain on the wires, due to the possibility of fire or short circuits.
<2293>
// His speed was many times quicker than mine.
<2294>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You cold?"
<2295> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... no."
<2296>
// Yoshino-san asked me, as I was unusually silent.
<2297> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I was just thinking that you were really amazing."
<2298>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... what's that mean?"
<2299>
// The rain continued on throughout the night.
<2300>
// I stared outside the window, looking at how it was.
<2301>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You were still working, despite the rain being so heavy?"
<2302>
// Before I knew it, Nagisa stood beside me.
<2303> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I'm taking a break because it's raining hard."
<2304>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Really? It seems like the rain will continue."
<2305> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This isn't school, you know..."
<2306> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even if I take a break, we can't progress with work, so only the schedule will be getting tighter."
<2307>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, that's right. I didn't really think it throughly."
<2308> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, truth is I don't really feel that way but... I think that's how it is."
<2309>
// A place like school does have limits, but even if you don't do anything, you can still move on.
<2310>
// Right now, I have to take these steps to move on.
<2311>
// If I take a break, my work will fall apart, and I'll be pushed aside.
<2312>
// There wasn't a single thing good about it.
<2313>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, if you're taking a break, we can go buy something."
<2314>
// Oh, there is something good.
<2315>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, but, I think it's better that you rest at home, \m{B}-kun."
<2316> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, it's fine. I'll come buy stuff with you, since I'm taking a break."
<2317>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay!"
<2318>
// May 12 (Wednesday)
<2319>
// I woke up the next day to the sound of the telephone ringing.
<2320>
// I was still sleepy at the time.
<2321>
// I creep out of the futon, and take the receiver.
<2322> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Ah, that you, \m{A}-kun?"
<2323>
// It was the boss' voice.
<2324> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's quite early right now. What's wrong?"
<2325>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "It's raining real hard today, so we're taking the day off."
<2326> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Is that so?"
<2327>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "Yeah. When I heard from Yoshino, I thought I might not have told you, so I decided to give you call. Seems you didn't know."
<2328> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh."
<2329>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "If I hear that it's going to stop raining tomorrow, then we'll work then. If it gets worse, then we'll decide."
<2330> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, I understand. See you again soon."
<2331>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "Okay, see you soon."
<2332>
// I put down the receiver. I heard the sound of the rain outside.
<2333>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "How did it go, \m{B}-kun?"
<2334>
// Nagisa awoke, sitting up in her futon.
<2335> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, looks like I'm taking a break."
<2336>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's... too bad."
<2337> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah. But you still have school. So get some rest until then."
<2338>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, I will."
<2339>
// We cover ourselves with the futon and again lie down.
<2340>
// .........
<2341>
// ......
<2342>
// ...
<2343>
// I wake up. Outside was dark, so I couldn't really tell the time.
<2344>
// I take a look at the time. It's already eleven.
<2345> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa!"
<2346>
// Jumping up, and immediately pulling over the futon beside me, Nagisa wasn't there.
<2347>
// Looks like she awoke on her own and left.
<2348> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (I guess... she's always like that...)
<2349>
// I find a note by her bedside.
<2350>
// "To \m{B}-kun. I've prepared breakfast for you. Unfortunately I haven't prepared anything for lunch, so try to make do. I'll be heading off."
<2351>
// Though it's already close to noon, so I began preparing to take breakfast.
<2352> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Well, now...)
<2353>
// After cleaning up, I thought to myself.
<2354>
// What should I do right now?
<2355>
// To begin with, I didn't really have any hobbies.
<2356>
// I haven't seen any movies, nor do I listen to music. If there was sports, I didn't have a ride.
<2357>
// Thinking really hard...
<2358> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (... I'm such a boring guy, aren't I?)
<2359>
// But well, there is a girl that loves this kind of guy...
<2360>
// Though it should be fine for me to find some hobby, today just happened to be personal time.
<2361>
// But because it'll end pretty soon, even if I did come up with a hobby, I shouldn't be continuing it.
<2362> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (In that case, what should I be doing today...?)
<2363>
// Well now, what should get me started?
<2364>
// Watch TV
<2365>
// Fish through the drawers
<2366>
// I turn on the TV.
<2367>
// Even if I flip through the channels, there didn't seem to be any interesting programs.
<2368> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (That's what this time's like, huh...)
<2369>
// A fitness woman appeared on the screen.
<2370> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<2371>
// I decide to try the same position she's making.
<2372>
// "One, two, three, four."
<2373> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "One, two, three, four."
<2374>
// "This will relieve menstrual pain."
<2375> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh really?"
<2376> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, what the hell am I doing---?!"
<2377>
// My body felt in pain all over.
<2378>
// Nagisa won't be coming back until three.
<2379>
// And I'm all alone in the room.
<2380>
// That's right, this situation is... where I can do whatever the hell I want...
<2381>
// I reach out my hand to pull out the drawer.
<2382>
// And there was Nagisa's...
<2383> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why the hell am I so damn lucky---?!"
<2384>
// I pull the entire thing out, and it rolls over.
<2385>
// Thud... roll, roll, roll!\shake{3}
<2386>
// The stuff I pulled falls out, coming on top of my head.
<2387> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Oh crap--!)
<2388>
// I quickly stuff everything back in.
<2389>
// I clean everything up so it's the way it was before.
<2390> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pant... pant..."
<2391> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (I'm an idiot...)
<2392> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sigh..."
<2393>
// I could never think wasting time like this own my own could be this painful.
<2394>
// Being bored doing nothing, even if I did do something, being in a miserable situation all alone was not something I could put up with.
<2395> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Nagisa...)
<2396>
// Thinking about it, I guess we could do whatever when we were together.
<2397> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Hurry and come back...)
<2398> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (And then let's go and buy stuff...)
<2399>
// I stood in the falling rain, holding an umbrella.
<2400>
// The ends of my trousers were a little wet.
<2401>
// .........
<2402>
// ......
<2403>
// ...
<2404>
// I catch a glimpse of students coming home.
<2405>
// One by one, they pass in front of me.
<2406>
// I found the third-year emblem attached on them.
<2407> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (Oh, they're Nagisa's classmates...?)
<2408>
// Our eyes meet, and then they frankly turn away.
<2409> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "\m{B}-kun!"
<2410>
// The voice I've waited for.
<2411>
// Nagisa trots down the hill.
<2412> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's dangerous."
<2413>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You surprised me, \m{B}-kun. Did you come to meet me?"
<2414> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I came since it's nearby."
<2415>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Nearby... were you taking a stroll in this kind of rain?"
<2416> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Y-yeah. That's right. A stroll."
<2417>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's really surprising."
<2418>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But I'm happy."
<2419>
// The students passing by looked at us with curiosity.
<2420>
// Isn't that obvious with this pairing?
<2421> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's go, Nagisa."
<2422>
// We quickly left, as I thought that another bad rumor might start up with her.
<2423>
// We came back home for a bit, and after Nagisa changed out of her clothes, we went to the grocery store.
<2424>
// Nagisa brought the goods to the basket I was holding.
<2425>
// While talking about things that happened today.
<2426>
// That alone was more enjoyable than watching television or playing games.
<2427>
// May 13 (Thursday)
<2428>
// The next day was clear. It was business as usual.
<2429>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "... with that said, try not to get into any accidents."
<2430>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "Let's also work hard all day today."
<2431>
// After our pep talk, each one of us went to our respective places.
<2432>
// Yoshino-san and I got on the light truck.
<2433>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... I'm hungry."
<2434>
// Yoshino-san murmured, as if pouting.
<2435>
// It was because we hadn't finished the work in the morning, and continued without taking lunch. It's already two-o'clock in the afternoon.
<2436>
// The reason was that the road was rough, holding us up. Though my poor performance also had something to do with it.
<2437>
// In times like this, you can't really make up any excuses.
<2438>
// I remained silent, tackling the work.
<2439>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "\m{A}, how many more do we have left?"
<2440>
// Yoshino-san asked me that when cleaning up as work was done.
<2441> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... five."
<2442>
// I stared at the checklist, saying that. Recently I've ended up holding it.
<2443>
// Though it'd be normal for Yoshino-san to check.
<2444>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Four o'clock... this ain't gonna end..."
<2445>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "The propane man won't make it to the last new building until at least 6, so we're not done until then."
<2446> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What'll we do?"
<2447>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It's obvious. We're gonna go overtime and change things around. Let's go on inside the new building."
<2448> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The place's in the opposite direction. I think we'll end up taking a detour..."
<2449>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That can't be helped."
<2450> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh."
<2451>
// Yoshino-san pulled something out of the pocket from his waist.
<2452>
// It was a cellphone.
<2453>
// If I were a fully working adult, would I already have one?
<2454>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "I've told the boss, so let's go. We'll go to the last new building, and go from there."
<2455>
// Finishing the call, he told me that.
<2456> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm, how late do you think it'll be before we finish?"
<2457>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Maybe nine or ten o'clock? It's not easy to tell when it'll end."
<2458>
// I felt a little bit pressured.
<2459>
// There's also tomorrow. He's probably thinking that he'd like to come home early, if possible.
<2460>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Oh well... \m{A}, have a look at the next area."
<2461> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"
<2462>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Don't do anything. Just leave all of the materials and tools there."
<2463> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... huh."
<2464>
// It was a drag in the end.
<2465>
// Whatever. I'll just do the best I can.
<2466>
// The day had already come to a close.
<2467>
// Looking at the time, it was already past eight.
<2468>
// At this time, I felt like doing nothing.
<2469>
// All I did was follow Yoshino-san's orders, bringing the tools, transporting the materials, and organizing the parts.
<2470>
// But with the fact that the remaining five places had almost taken up half an hour to finish... did this have much of an effect?
<2471> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We're done."
<2472>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Yeah."
<2473>
// It was already past nine when we headed back to the company.
<2474>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Sorry for keeping you up this late. I'll give you a ride."
<2475>
// When I changed out of my clothes, Yoshino-san was waiting for me.
<2476> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's fine. I can walk home."
<2477>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Idiot, don't hold yourself back."
<2478>
// I was foricbly pulled into the truck.
<2479> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... I'm sorry."
<2480>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "What are you apologizing about?"
<2481> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That I wasn't of any use today."
<2482>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "This isn't the first time you weren't able to do anything. Don't worry about it."
<2483>
// Though Yoshino-san said so, my self-hatred didn't disappear.
<2484>
// Even during dinner, I was looking back at today's work.

<2601> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What happened?"

// \{Yoshino} "Though he's okay, he's broken his leg. The only one who can deal with it is me."

// \{\m{B}} "Okay, I understand. I'll come."
<2617>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "Hearing that relieves me. Okay, pass it over to Yoshino."
<2618>
// We returned to the company and got onto the vehicle.
<2619>
// Instead of a light truck, it was a big minivan.
<2620> \{\m{B}} ""

<2621>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "That's the indoor equipment."
<2622> \{\m{B}} ""

<2623>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... an air conditioner for business use. You've at least seen them in stores, right?"
<2624>
// Why didn't he tell me that from the beginning?
<2625>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "It's hung from the ceiling via a pipe, so it has to be supported by two people."
<2626> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I suppose. Both of us have to carry it at the same time."
<2627>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "We'll take up a lot of time. You sure you don't want to head back?"
<2628> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, I'm fine."
<2629>
// Having to deal with this, I wonder if Nagisa's waiting, making dinner?
<2630>
// Yoshino-san ran for a bit, and then passed over the cellphone.
<2631>\{Yoshino} ""

// I do as he tells me.

// \{Nagisa} "Okay, I understand."

// A reasonably good answer.
<2645>
// Nagisa may be stubborn, but she's by no means selfish.
<2646> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Later."
<2647>\{Nagisa} ""

<2648> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<2649> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Umm... I can turn it off with this button, right...?"
<2650>

// .........
<2654>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Replacing the indoor equipemnt isn't that difficult."

// \{Yoshino}"Just that a lot of dust's built up in this old thing, so be careful not to let it fall on you."
<2656>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You should cover it up with a sheet."
<2657>
// Yoshino-san gave me the tools he had, and explained how to use them one by one.
<2658>
// The two of us pulled the heavy equipment out, and put it into new mountings.
<2659>
// Gah, it appears that strength over there is a problem. Yoshino-san began taking off the ceiling.
<2660>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "\m{A}, have a look."
<2661>
// I grab a foothold, and peep into the black opening above the ceiling.
<2662>
// Doesn't seem like I've seen it, or rather, I was looking at a different world.
<2663>
// Long and thin metal pieces were supporting the ceiling mortar, with cords stretching across in parallel.
<2664>
// The dust that had collected up over the years shone brightly, glittering in the flashlight.
<2665>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Didn't expect the ceiling construction would be brittle."
<2666>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Since it'll be hanging from the supports, we definitely have to use them for the cabling."
<2667>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Same with the air conditioner. If we distribute the strength of the supports, then there shouldn't be a problem."
<2668>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Just look, you don't have to work. You'll definitely be useful if you do."
<2669> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, I understand."

// And then Yoshino-san returned to his work.
<2671>
// May 15 (Saturday)
<2672>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "\m{A}, here."
<2673>
// Yoshino-san handed me a small blackboard.

// \{\m{B}} "Okay."

<2681>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "... ask the boss about the difficult stuff."
<2682>
// Yoshino-san made me do a lot of things, taking photos all the while.
<2683>\{Yoshino} ""

<2687>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "You're noisy. Just look like that and you'll be fine."
<2688>
// Yoshino-san said in a rough voice. It's better I don't say anything more.
<2689>
// Finishing the work, I got onto the passenger seat.
<2690>
// Beside me, Yoshino-san was enthusastic with something on the camera he was looking at.
<2691>
// Looking over, there was a small monitor on the camera, as well as the picture he took today.
<2692> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that a digital camera?"

<2695>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Here."
<2696>
// He handed it over.
<2697>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "If you push this, you can take a look at the pictures taken today."
<2698>
// I did as he said, operating it.
<2699>
// On the LCD was the blackboard.
<2700> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can't use normal cameras anymore?"

// \{\m{B}} "Really?"
<2703>
// Though I was surprised, on the other hand I had a whiff of loneliness.
<2704>
// Same for what I was holding.
<2705>
// I never had a scene during my school days where this was being used.
<2706>
// Things I didn't know about spread round, and then, the scenery outside me changed.

// But, since this also helps my own work, it shouldn't have meant anything bad.
<2713> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "So, what'll we do with this photo?"
<2714>
// I asked that, trying to be as cheerful as I could.
