// Last year, for me it was supposed to have been normal as well, but it abruptly came to a halt.
<5224>
// And it was something that I couldn't visit again.
<5225>
// If there's a long break, it would have to be when I retire.
<5226>
// Will I continue working until then?
<5227>
// Did the days in which I played like a kid really end?
<5228>
// I realized that such a thing had happened at this point in time.
<5229> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You've always been waiting at home. Got time? Let's do something we like."
<5230>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I have a lot of homework from school, so I can't really play like that."
<5231> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If you're gonna do homework, let's do it at your parents' place. It's cool there, right?"
<5232>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's okay, I'll do it here."
<5233>
// Right now, it's dark, so spending time here for a while would be preferable. However, during the day, this room is going to be scorching hot.
<5234>
// There are a lot of things we can do during the holiday. I don't have experience with that but, Nagisa does.
<5235>
// From every day onward, we're going to be going through the heat.
<5236> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You don't want me to get an air conditioner...?"
<5237>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No need."
<5238>
// Stubborn...
<5239> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I think there's one that isn't too expensive..."
<5240>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The air coming from an air conditioner isn't really good for the body."
<5241>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm fine with the air from a fan."
<5242>
// When she puts it that way, I'm in no position to be pushing her.
<5243> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll just tell you though..."
<5244>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<5245> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I think this is too much for my sake."
<5246>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Something like this is perfectly fine."
<5247>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Being told to go back to my parents' place is painful."
<5248>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I've been thinking about a lot of things while waiting for you at home, \m{B}-kun."
<5249>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Like what I could make for dinner..."
<5250>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Like what you thought was delicious..."
<5251>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That was really fun, so I'm happy."
<5252>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Being told not to do that is lonely."
<5253>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Because this place is..."
<5254>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The home in which you and I live, \m{B}-kun."
<5255> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5256>
// I see...
<5257>
// I was being too shallow...
<5258>
// Since that day where we began living together...
<5259>
// This place wasn't as if it were a single-room apartment... it should have been our home.
<5260> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... I guess."
<5261> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, it'll do more harm than good if you push your body. Keep that in mind."
<5262>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<5263>
// This time, she nodded obediently.
<5264>
// Nagisa was bedridden the whole time last summer.
<5265>
// That's why when I see Nagisa in her summer clothing, it makes me happy.
<5266>
// Entering summer break, it was first Saturday. As promised, I took Nagisa to the community pool.
<5267>
// There was so many people that we were taken aback, but we got used to it.
<5268>
// After a few hours, within that confusion, we were having fun, without being embarrassed about it.
<5269>
// I didn't meet anyone I know, but the Furukawa Bakery customers brought along their kids, and Nagisa got wet in the swimsuit many times.
<5270>
// I was smiling there.
<5271>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, it seems you've gotten kinder."
<5272> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh... really?"
<5273>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. Even when I talked to other people, you were always smiling."
<5274> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's because when your own girlfriend's talking to a lot of people in a cuddly way, my face has a way of becoming like that."
<5275>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But you were different back then, \m{B}-kun."
<5276> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I wonder in what way?"
<5277>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... you were a bit distant, standing there."
<5278> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5279> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... probably."
<5280> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I was probably never one to smile with others around..."
<5281>
// Was I certainly thinking that way back then?
<5282>
// Like they were all annoying.
<5283>
// At the time, it was absolutely depressing with other people meddling around and being noisy.
<5284>
// The relationship between people was depressing.
<5285>
// Now though, if it's not like that...
<5286>
// Being one that was linked to others because of Nagisa, I knew better.
<5287>
// In that it wasn't all that bad.
<5288>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun,"
<5289> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<5290>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Could we hold hands?"
<5291> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Y-yeah."
<5292>
// I'll do anything now.
<5293>
// I smiled at myself.
<5294>
// The boss was discussing what to do during the Bon holiday during our pep talk.
<5295>
// All of us got three days off.
<5296>
// Compared to back in school, it was quite short, but for me right now, it was enough.
<5297>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "What'll you do?"
<5298> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I've got plans."
<5299>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Going travelling with your girlfriend?"
<5300> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We're going to the beach."
<5301> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Not just my girlfriend, but her parents as well."
<5302>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Oh, going with the family? Quite rare these days."
<5303> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What'll you do, Yoshino-san?"
<5304>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Me? I wonder."
<5305> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe you'll go somewhere with your girlfriend?"
<5306>
// I don't know if he has one, but I tried asking.
<5307> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe you'll go somewhere with your girlfriend?"
<5308> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe you'll go somewhere with Ibuki-san?"
<5309>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "I guess... if I can, then that'd be nice."
<5310>
// Saying just that, he headed off to the office.
<5311>
// Was Yoshino-san hiding his embarrassment, I wonder?
<5312>
// I also went after him, so as to not get a late start.
<5313> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm back."
<5314>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Welcome back."
<5315>
// Nagisa was within the heat, standing in front of the stove.
<5316>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, I'll go and shower first."
<5317> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, sure... today's really hot..."
<5318> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Actually, you're also sweating."
<5319>
// Sweatdrops were forming on her face and forehead.
<5320>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm fine."
<5321>
// Her hands are full, so it doesn't look like she can wipe it.
<5322>
// I took out a handkerchief and dried it.
<5323>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you so much."
<5324>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "If I don't mix this, it'll burn."
<5325> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then, if you're doing something like this, you can't stop, huh?"
<5326>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh...?"
<5327>
// I hug Nagisa from behind.
<5328>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah... yes... I can't stop..."
<5329>
// And again, sweat from her cheek dripped down and rubbed against mine.
<5330>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, it's shaking..."
<5331> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then do it slowly."
<5332>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's okay, I'll be done soon."
<5333>
// She turned off the heat from the stove.
<5334>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay... like this it won't be dangerous... so I can take anything."
<5335>
// When a girl says something like "I can take anything", it'll get exciting, even if she says no...
<5336> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then... look this way."
<5337>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<5338>
// Within my relaxed arms, Nagisa turned halfway.
<5339>
// I embrace her. Her sweaty body touched mine.
<5340>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is it fine if I haven't taken a shower...?"
<5341> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You'll just sweat again."
<5342>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Then..."
<5343>
// Nagisa tightened her embrace on me.
<5344> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa..."
<5345>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, \m{B}-kun...?"
<5346>
// Only the upper part of our bodies separate, and we look at each other.
<5347>
// Cute lips.
<5348>
// Nagisa probably also noticed that. She closed her eyes... and brought her lips to me.
<5349>
// I also did the same.
<5350>
// Ring, ring, ring, ring...
<5351>
// Just before we kissed, the phone rang.
<5352>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah... a phone call."
<5353>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll go and get it."
<5354> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Y-yeah..."
<5355>
// If we ignore it, would another phone call come...?
<5356>
// I reluctantly let her go.
<5357>
// Nagisa knelt in front of the phone, and picked up the receiver.
<5358>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Hello...? Ah, yes, that's right."
<5359>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun,"
<5360>
// Nagisa handed me the phone.
<5361>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's a man by the name of Kishita-san."
<5362> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? For me?"
<5363>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<5364>
// Kishita...\p who might he be?
<5365>
// Without remembering, I took the phone.
<5366> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yes, it's me."
<5367> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "That you, \m{B}-kun?"
<5368>
// An elderly voice. I immediately remembered him as a co-worker of my father's from long ago.
<5369> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yes, that's right."
<5370>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "Your father's been... arrested."
<5371>
// ...... eh?
<5372>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "He's been doing some shady dealings..."
<5373>
// ... what?
<5374>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "\m{B}-kun, are you listening?"
<5375>
// ... doing what?
<5376>
// ... what's going on?
<5377>
// ... I can't understand at all.
<5378>
// ... why?
<5379>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "\m{B}-kun, your father's been arrested by the police. That's how it is."
<5380>
// My father's...
<5381>
// Why?
<5382>
// Ahh... I don't know.
<5383>
// I can't understand at all.
<5384>
// Since when have I become such an idiot...
<5385>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "Let me talk to the girl just now."
<5386>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "Hey, come on, pass the phone to her."
<5387>\{Kishita} ""
// \{Kishita} "When you've calmed down, she'll tell you what's happened."
<5388>
// The receiver falls from my hand, down to the floor.
<5389>
// I stared at Nagisa, who picked it up in haste.
<5390>
// Because it was a small city, the rumor spread fast.
<5391>
// A few days later, the boss called me...
<5392>
// Not meaning anything bad, but he told me to pretend that the new employment topic never happened.
<5393>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "No one thinks of you as being bad at all, \m{A}-kun."
<5394>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "You can work here like you've always have up to now."
<5395>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "Because everyone here understands you, \m{A}-kun."
<5396>\{Ông Chủ} ""
// \{Boss} "It's just that the timing's a little bad..."
<5397>
// Ahh... I worked all this time... and had even gained something.
<5398>
// If I worked hard, something good up ahead would be waiting for me...
<5399>
// That's what I thought.
<5400>
// And it's been lost...
<5401>
// Not because of me...
<5402>
// But because of that person.
<5403>
// Even though I live as if I didn't have a relationship with him...
<5404>
// Even though I'll be doing everything on my own...
<5405>
// Even though I'll be doing everything I can to make the one I love happy...
<5406>
// Even so...
<5407>
// Ah... how could something be like this?
<5408>
// Am I cursed...?
<5409>
// ... by that man?
<5410>
// Nagisa and I sat facing each other.
<5411>
// The two of us bow, and I remember something from when we first started living together.
<5412> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Nagisa..."
<5413> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How about we..."
<5414> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Leave this city?"
<5415>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<5416>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We can't..."
<5417>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That would be running away."
<5418>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's not facing forward..."
<5419> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I've always been running away..."
<5420> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's fine now, right...?"
<5421> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This'll be the last time."
<5422>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We can't..."
<5423>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You can't be crushed by this, \m{B}-kun."
<5424>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I want you to... make me happy... in this city."
<5425> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll make you happy."
<5426> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, even if it weren't this city, I can still do it, right?"
<5427> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As long as it's me, you'd say it's fine, right?"
<5428>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's..."
<5429>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "if it's you, \m{B}-kun, then wherever it is, it's fine."
<5430>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, we can't leave this city in a time when we aren't facing forward."
<5431>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "If we do... this will become a place that we can't come back to."
<5432>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "This is the city where I was born."
<5433>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The city I've been raised in."
<5434>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's our city."
<5435>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Am I wrong?"
<5436> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even if all good things go to ruin?"
<5437>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "All good things go to ruin...?'
<5438>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I've gained a lot of things."
<5439>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Meeting you was the number one thing, \m{B}-kun."
<5440> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5441>
// Nagisa...
<5442>
// You really are here for me.
<5443>
// I'm such a blockhead to not be listening to what you have to say...
<5444>
// Even though it occurred to me as being stubborn, my miserable tears came flowing out.
<5445>
// Even though I knew...
<5446>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun... is it painful?"
<5447>
// As I lowered my head, Nagisa took my hand.
<5448>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is what I"m saying... tormenting you, \m{B}-kun?"
<5449> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5450>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The only one who can understand that torment... is you, \m{B}-kun."
<5451>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "All I can do is be with you."
<5452>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "So, please tell me."
<5453>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Is it painful?"
<5454> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5455> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... it's painful."
<5456>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I see..."
<5457>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Then... one day, when we're facing forward..."
<5458>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "At that time, we can leave the city."
<5459> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5460> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."
<5461>
// One day, when I stand in the same place that person does... how would I feel?
<5462>
// At that time, would I have nothing to regret?
<5463>
// If I did... then...
<5464>
// I might begin to regret my entire life for a long time.
<5465>
// Right now, I just have to believe in myself.
<5466>
// If I came to regret it...
<5467>
// As long as Nagisa's with me, then I can stand back up again.
<5468>
// So, let's move on ahead.
<5469>
// Together.
<5470>
// Walking on... a girl was up ahead.
<5471>
// She faced me, standing there.
<5472>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I've been waiting, \m{B}-kun."
<5473>
// She so said to me.
<5474> \{\m{B}} ""

<5481>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Just don't be so selfish for today. This is really important."
<5482> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "For me, this is really important."
<5483> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But this doesn't have anything to do with you, does it...?"
<5484>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That might be true but..."
<5485>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, I also want to think that it's important to me as well..."
<5486>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Even if you think that this has nothing to do with me..."
<5487>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I also want to think that this has only to do with me... and that it's very important."
<5488> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<5489> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... do what you want."
<5490>
// We got onto the train, and went to the neighboring town.
<5491>
// I heard that my father was being detained in this city.
<5492>
// I asked the police, and managed to get there.
<5493>
// Nagisa's breath hit me from behind.
<5494>
// Thinking about it, it's probably because I've been moving so fast.
<5495>
// Without looking back, I passed through the gate.
<5496>
// My father faced me from behind the glass... as if he were a prisoner.
<5497>
// He's probably still a suspect.
<5498>\{Cha} ""
// \{Father} "........."
<5499>
// His gentle expression, as always.
<5500>
// Even when I'm there, he didn't once raise an eyebrow.
<5501>
// He didn't allow it.
<5502>
// In haste, he lowered his head, begging.
<5503>
// He wished to be forgiven.
<5504>
// With an...\p apology for everything in the ten years up to now.
<5505>\{Cha} ""
// \{Father} "........."
<5506>
// But...\p he remained silent.

// \{\m{B}} "What do you want to do...?"

// Just for that one pitch.

<5936>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Indeed."

// \{Sanae} "It's fine now, \m{B}-san."

// \{Sanae} "So, please be happy with her."
<5962>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You can drown in sorrow alone, you bastard."
<5963>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Akio-san!"
<5964>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "I'm joking, idiot."
<5965>\{Akio} ""

// \{Akio} "Oh, speak of the devil. The princess has arrived."
<5969>
// Turning around, there was another red umbrella coming in close by.
<5970>
// There were a lot of things we wanted to talk about.
<5971>
// I was covered in mud, and rushed up to her.
<5972>
// And like that, Nagisa and I were engaged.
<5973>
// After Nagisa graduates, we'll register our names.
<5974>
// That's a half year away.
<5975>
// A lot of things happened, and summer ended.
<5976>
// I was once plunged into the abyss, and once again rose up.
<5977>
// Because Nagisa was there.
<5978>
// On days when she came home with a painful face, I took her hand and we slept.
<5979>
// On days when my willpower just about ran out, we slept with my head in Nagisa's arms.
<5980>
// And like that, two of us lived out our days.
<5981>
// There was nothing more to fear.
<5982>
// For me, it's great as long as Nagisa's here.
<5983>
// We'll live strong forever.
<5984>
// No matter how many times we fall, we'll rise again.
<5985>
// And then my life became devoted to nothing but making Nagisa happy. That was my only goal.
<5986>
// Even this much had a simple answer.
<5987>
// We'll push on forever.
<5988>
// The second trimester began, and Nagisa also began heading to school.
<5989>
// As usual, it didn't look like she could make friends, but at home she smiled when she talked with me.
<5990>
// When Nagisa's school clothing changed to winter clothing, I realized fall had come.
<5991>
// That period that was called as such also went by.
<5992>
// Just when I thought it was getting chilly, it was already winter.
<5993>
// And then...
<5994>
// The best day in the year I was looking forward to had come.
<5995>
// Christmas, and Nagisa's birthday.
<5996>
// This year, the two of us spent it together.
<5997>
// She went ot a department store and bought me a pear wristwatch.
<5998>
// She must have been so happy with me putting it on my hand, as she made big strides in her walking.
<5999>
// It was as if we were a couple dating that weren't in high school.
<6000>
// And as we went along a desolate road, we passed by a toy store.
<6001>
// And we saw it.
<6002>
// Beyond the stained window, it was enshrined there so extravagantly.
<6003>
// A Big Dango Familly stuffed doll.
<6004>
// It was differently colored from the one I bought last year.
<6005>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm, \m{B}-kun,"
<6006>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "In the house we have a dango there that's been there all alone... so I'd like for them to be together."
<6007>
// Nagisa said so, grasping my hand firmly.
<6008>
// And like that, two dango were piled up in the corner of our room.
<6009>
// Nagisa's probably already forgotten about the wristwatch she bought.
<6010>
// She was always happy with the two dango, embracing them.
<6011>
// I was at least shocked.
<6012>
// But, that was the Nagisa I know.
<6013>
// We spent New Year's with Nagisa's parents.
<6014>
// Pops drank sake with the remainder of the food from the occasion.
<6015>
// And beside him, Sanae-san was sorting New Year's cards.
<6016>
// Nagisa and I sat together, watching TV.
<6017>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Oh yeah, Nagisa,"
<6018>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes?"
<6019>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You're already twenty, right?"
<6020>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, twenty years old."
<6021>
// That's right... Nagisa has turned twenty. An adult.
<6022>
// I am still nineteen.
<6023>
// Thinking about it, I felt really out of place.
<6024>
// Nagisa is in her twenties, while I'm still in my tens.
<6025>
// I looked at her from the side as she talked to pops.
<6026>
// A miserable face.
<6027>
// Ahh, you really will be my senior for my entire life, huh?
<6028>
// An adult woman, huh?
<6029>
// Indeed when he inquires as such, my age is inappropriate.
<6030>
// It's strange. I put a smile to my face.
<6031>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "All right, then will ya keep your promise?"
<6032>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "What?"
<6033>
// They continued.
<6034>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You promised didn't you?"
<6035>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "You said you'd drink sake with me when you turn twenty."
<6036>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?! I never made that promise!"
<6037>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah you did."
<6038>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Every night when I was drinking alone and went to the washroom, you said you had pity on me..."
<6039>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Said that when I drank, you'd drink together with me..."
<6040>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Since when?"
<6041>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Hmm, let's see... when you were still in grade school."
<6042>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I don't remember that!"
<6043>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Even more, you must have been half-asleep!"
<6044>
// It must have been pops' fabrication from the start.
<6045>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "What... that was a lie...?"
<6046>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Damn it... ever since that day, I was always looking forward to it..."
<6047>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh... really...?"
<6048>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Huh?"
<6049>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You were always looking forward to it...?"
<6050>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah... I lived, counting the days on my fingers..."
<6051>
// I should also know... when Nagisa sympathizes for him, she won't be able to refuse.
<6052>
// Though, Nagisa drinking sake...
<6053> \{\m{B}} ()
// \{\m{B}} (It's way too interesting...)
<6054>
// So I continued looking on.
<6055>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Sanae hasn't taken a single drop though..."
<6056>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Indeed. I'm weak with sake. I'd immediately feel terrible."

// \{Akio} "I don't know how many years it's been since I drank alone..."
<6058>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "It would have been nice if I could join you."
<6059>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<6060>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "... all right. I'll drink."
<6061>
// Preparing herself, she said that.
<6062>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But should I drink...?"
<6063>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "It's fine, you're my daughter, damn it!"
<6064>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "That's right!"
<6065>
// She's also \byour\u daughter.
<6066>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "In that case, I'll have one."
<6067>
// In her hand was a small cup of Japanese sake.
<6068>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "All right, take it in one shot!"
<6069>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's my first time, so I can't really take it in one shot."
<6070>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'll taste it first."
<6071>
// Though I wonder how it'd go for her first taste at alcohol being cold sake?
<6072>
// She brings her nose to the cup.
<6073>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<6074>
// It seems pretty strong to her.
<6075>\{Sanae} ""
// \{Sanae} "Nagisa, you don't have to force yourself."
<6076>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No... I should at least take one cup for dad's sake."
<6077>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Nagisa... just now, you made me feel glad I gave birth to you more than ever before."
<6078>
// Don't think about such a thing.
<6079>
// Even more, Sanae-san was the one who gave birth.
<6080>\{Akio} ""

<6081>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Okay..."
<6082>
// Will she be fine doing something like that?
<6083>
// Maybe she won't collapse?
<6084>
// I'm a little worried...
<6085>
// Though it's just a small cup, so even if she pushes herself, it'll simply end with her feeling bad...
<6086>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Here I go."
<6087>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Go!"
<6088>
// Swerve.

// Gulp.

// The sound of her throat.
<6092>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I drank it..."
<6093>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Whew...."
<6094>\{Akio} ""
