| Homare | Grandmother. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Oh, that painting, is it already fixed? |
| Homare | Not yet– |
| Homare’s Grandmother | ? |
| Homare | For grandmother, the thing that you treasure is not the painting itself, but the memories within the painting right. |
| About the repair, sorry for saying something irrelevant. |
| Thanks to Sakuya-kun and Muku-kun, I realized that the most important thing is not the item itself. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | It’s because of those 2 over there right. |
| Sakuya | No! I did nothing! |
| Muku | I also didn’t say much. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I see… |
| Though, you guys are quite stubborn for a poet and a painter. |
| Homare | Uh… |
| Kazunari | Ahaha… |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Well, I also don’t understand people much. |
| Homare | About this painting, is it something that grandmother gave to grandfather as a present? |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Yes. |
| |
| *Recall Memories at Mansion’s Garden* |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Miyako-san, why don’t you come over here. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | What is it? |
| Homare’s Grandfather | There you go. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | This is? |
| Homare’s Grandfather | They’re art materials. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I can see that myself. Who’s going to use it? |
| Homare’s Grandfather | It’s going to be you and me. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I’m a poet, I don’t have any interest in painting. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | I’m the same. |
| Today’s joyful feelings, I was thinking of painting it so we won’t forget. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | We can take pictures for that. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | That would be boring. |
| Anyway, we cannot leave our feelings in a picture. |
| I just want to leave behind this inspiration swelling inside of me right now. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | If that’s the case, it’s enough to just put it in a Haiku. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | I already made too many Haikus for you. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Is this a punishment game or something? |
| Homare’s Grandfather | It’s not, I just thought it would be fun to trial and error together on something new. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Sigh. I understand. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Thank you. |
| … |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Hmm, between you and me, we have around the same skill in painting. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | This painting, never show it to anyone else. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Of course not. |
| You actually managed to draw that bear well. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | It’s an elephant. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | I see it now that you say it. |
| Anyway, if we just practice in a few sheets, we’ll definitely get better. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Hah. |
| *Short Time Skip* |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Isn’t this enough already? |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Hmm…. I like this painting the best, is it a clown? |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Yes, so you can see it. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Of course. |
| Then, this one is an elephant. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | It’s a circus tent. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | I see it now that you say it. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Homare’s Grandfather | Yep, it’s really great. |
| Do you mind if I receive this from you? |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I don’t get how you can call this horrid painting great. |
| Homare’s Grandfather | I feel that I can see that rare smile of yours here. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Hah. I understand. |
| Then, I’ll give it to you as thanks for today. |
| *Back to Present* |
| |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Ironically, I even left such a message behind… |
| In return for the painting, he gave me the pocket watch. |
| Homare | I see. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | We painted this painting together, and it contains the memory of that person who gave me such happiness, that’s why, for me, it is my precious treasure. |
| There’s no value in such a horrid painting. |
| I thought that way too, but… I guess you’re right. |
| Kazunari | – |
| Homare’s Grandmother | There are feelings contained in this painting. |
| That is something that should not be thrown away easily. |
| Thank you for saying that you won’t give up on it. |
| Instead of repair, I think I’ll keep it as it is. |
| Even if it has become like this, the important thing won’t change. |
| Rather than getting repaired by someone else, I think it’s better as it is. |
| Kazunari | I see. I understand. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Thank you for making it dry and clean. |
| You should show me your painting next time. |
| Kazunari | Of course! |
| Takao | Sorry to disturb you, Homare-sama. |
| Homare | What is it? |
| Takao | I found a picture of the painting. |
| Homare | Really!? |
| Takao | I received the picture from the remodeling contractor who took it for his reference. |
| Izumi | Thi, this is… |
| Homare | See, it looks the same with the one I drew doesn’t it? |
| Kazunari | You’re right! Aririn, that’s amazing! |
| Izumi | (I didn’t expect for the painting to be really like that… |
| Now I understand grandfather’s feeling who thought it was an elephant. |
| Homare-san’s talent is really similar to his grandmother, the literary talent too.) |
| *Shifts to Mansion’s Living Room* |
| Homare | Thanks to you guys, I managed to understand grandmother’s feelings. |
| Thank you. |
| Sakuya | That’s… I’m sure that it’s Homare-san’s feelings towards your grandmother that has been conveyed. |
| Muku | Homare-san really thinks a lot about your grandmother. |
| Homare | Nah, I still don’t really understand people’s feelings. |
| It’s really difficult, there’s still so much to learn. |
| Kazunari | It’s not only Aririn! |
| I’m the same too, the same! |
| Homare | Hmm… Even for Kazunari-kun whom Yuki-kun claimed to be the Communication Guy. |
| Kazunari | Yep yep, but, even if you don’t understand, make sure you talk a lot with the other person, and everything will be alright! |
| Homare | I see… You’re right. |
| Muku | In the end, what happened to the reformation? |
| Homare | We’ll keep that place as it is. |
| It’s a bit barren, but it’s full of memories for grandfather and grandmother. |
| I thought grandmother will definitely be the happiest if I leave it as it is. |
| Izumi | I see… |
| I’m pretty sure your grandmother will be glad. |
| Homare | Yes… |
| At grandfather’s funeral, I saw my grandmother, who already wiped her tears, looking forward with such determination. I always thought she’s a strong and cold person. |
| But, surely, it wasn’t the case. |
| When my grandfather passed away, when the painting was ruined too, I’m sure she was filled with a lot of sadness. |
| I cannot do things like making the typhoon never happen, but I wonder if I can do something to return the smile back to grandmother’s face… |
| Kazunari | If you want the big smile back on her face, I think you can do so by making new memories with her. |
| Homare | Hmm… |
| Izumi | –If that’s the case, I think I know of a perfect method. Right, Sakuya-kun. |
| Sakuya | Eh? |
| Izumi | I mean, if it’s the circus… |
| Sakuya | Ah!! |
| Homare | What is it? |
| Sakuya | There is! |
| A method to make her smile again! |
