Izumi | Hisoka-san disappeared!? |
Homare | I made certain that he was in bed before I went to sleep though... |
Tsumugi | It would be bad if he fell asleep outside again. We should hurry and find him—— |
Tasuku | I’ll go look in the courtyard. |
Azuma | I’ll go look around the bathroom. |
Izumi | I’ll go look in the lounge! |
| |
Azuma | He wasn’t there. |
Tasuku | He wasn’t in the courtyard either. |
Izumi | He couldn’t have gone outside the dorms, could he...? |
| We have to perform today. If he doesn’t return by nighttime—— |
Tsumugi | I’ll go look around outside. |
Tasuku | I’ll go with you. |
Homare | I shall go search as well. |
Azuma | Director, you should remain here on standby at the dorm in case Hisoka comes back on his own. |
Izumi | ——Understood. |
| (I’ll prepare the medicine so I can have Hisoka-san take it as soon as he returns...) |
| |
Izumi | (Where on earth did Hisoka-san go?) |
| (There’s only two hours left before the show. Did he collapse somewhere and for some reason become unable to move...?) |
| (But he hadn’t gone out at night as he pleased before.) |
| (Maybe he’s actually here in the dorms somewhere. Where else have we not searched——) |
| (Could he be in the Locked Room?) |
| (What if someone gets trapped in that room all alone... I have to hurry and go look!) |
| |
Izumi | (It was near the storeroom back then, but the door disappeared after that. I guess I have no choice but to search every nook and cranny...) |
| (If I remember correctly, it was a lone door that looked different from the others.) |
| ... |
| ...... |
| ——Ah! |
| This is it!! |
| (There’s no mistaking it. This is the same door from before...!) |
| |
Izumi | Hisoka-san...? |
Hisoka | ... |
Izumi | Hisoka-san! Are you all right!? |
| *door shuts* |
| —— |
| (I even left it open... But the same thing happened again.) |
| (But for now I have to check how Hisoka-san is doing.) |
Hisoka | ...*pant, pant* |
Izumi | He’s burning up... |
| Hisoka-san, here, I brought some medicine. |
Hisoka | ... |
Izumi | We have to cool your forehead too—— |
Hisoka | ...That feels good. |
Izumi | Geez, why are you always getting out of bed? |
Hisoka | ...Because that’s what I was taught. |
Izumi | Huh? |
Hisoka | ...I was taught to hide and lay low until I regain my strength whenever I’m weakened. |
Izumi | (Who would say that...? I don’t think a parent would say something like that...) |
Hisoka | ... |
Izumi | You should sleep. I’m sure everyone will find us soon. |
| There’s no one here that will hurt you, so you don’t have to hide, Hisoka-san. Make yourself at ease and get some rest. |
Hisoka | ...Okay. |
Izumi | (He seems to have relaxed a little. Thank goodness.) |
| (But his hand feels hot. We should get him to bed soon...) |
|
Hisoka | —— |
Izumi | Hisoka-san...? |
| (He’s looking at the moon?) |
Hisoka | ...I remember everything. I did something unforgivable. I, to you... |
Izumi | You remember...? Did you regain your memories? |
Hisoka | “August”... I’m sorry. |
Izumi | (August?) |
Hisoka | ...Zzz. |
Izumi | He fell asleep... |
| (I’m curious, but I’ll let him sleep for now...) |
| |
Tasuku | This door—— |
Azuma | It’s the same door to the room we got locked in. |
Izumi | ...Hm? |
| (It’s everyone’s voices——) |
Homare | There you are! |
Izumi | Everyone——! |
Tasuku | Mikage is here with you too. I’m glad you’re safe. |
Homare | For goodness’ sake, how many times must you be locked in before you’re satisfied? |
Tsumugi | This kind of feels like déjà vu... |
Tasuku | Be more careful! |
Izumi | I’m sorry. |
Azuma | Anyway, let’s carry Hisoka to his room. |
| |
Tasuku | We have no choice but to perform without Mikage today. |
Tsumugi | But even if we look for a substitute now, we might not make it in time... |
Hisoka | ...Morning. |
Izumi | Hisoka-san! Are you feeling okay to be up and walking now!? |
Hisoka | ...I’m fine now. |
Homare | His fever has gone down. I confirmed it so there is no doubt about it. |
Tasuku | Can you do it? |
Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
Izumi | Don’t push yourself. If you don’t think you can do it, tell us right away. |
| *stomach grumbles* |
Hisoka | ...I’m hungry. |
Homare | He has appetite, so it seems that we needn’t worry. |
Izumi | Come to think of it, you said earlier that you got your memories back. Do you remember? |
Azuma | You got your memories back? Really? |
Homare | So, what is your true identity? |
Hisoka | ...I forgot. |
Izumi | What!? |
Azuma | Maybe he was just dreaming. |
Izumi | I guess so. |
| (I wonder what he meant by “August” though...) |
