SakuyaHaah…
CatMeow~.
SakuyaGood evening.
Where did you come from? Lots of cats come here to play, but you feel more like a house cat rather than a stray cat.
SakuyaAlso, I feel like I’ve seen this fur color somewhere before… What species are you called… if I’m not wrong…
Hisoka…Russian Blue. Probably.
SakuyaAah, that’s it! …oh, Hisoka-san!
HisokaRecently, that cat’s been coming here to play occasionally. I think it belongs to one of the houses nearby.
SakuyaI see.
Hisoka…Do you eat dried sardines?
CatMeow~.
SakuyaIt’s eating them like they’re delicious. …Somehow, it kind of reminds me of you, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka…? Did you say something?
SakuyaNo!
Hisoka…Sakuya, what are you doing at this time of the day? It’s rare to see you here.
SakuyaAh—… I was thinking about something, or something like that…
…To be honest, I do have one. A memory of Christmas.
HisokaIs that so.
SakuyaIt definitely not a significant memory, but… to my younger self, it was a huge shock.
It’s not exactly something traumatizing, but it’s something I don’t really want to remember…
But I was thinking that maybe it would’ve been better if I had just talked about it properly during the meeting.
But at that moment, I accidentally said that I didn’t have a memory and lied to everyone…
HisokaYou’re feeling guilty?
Sakuya…Yes.
Hisoka…I’m sure everyone, no matter who they are, has a past they don’t want to remember. That’s why you don’t have to be so worried about it, Sakuya.
But if you’re feeling remorseful for not talking about it, then it would be better for you to talk about it. …That’s what I think.
Sakuya…You’re right.
Thank you, Hisoka-san. I think I’ll talk about it during tomorrow’s meeting!
Hisoka…Mm.
CatMeow~.
Hisoka“Good luck,” is what it’s saying.
SakuyaAhaha. Thank you for your support.
TsumugiThen for today’s meeting, shall we start thinking about the contents of the play and the cast?
SakuyaUm! Before that, can I say something?
JuzaWhat’s up?
SakuyaI’m sorry. Yesterday, I said that I didn’t have a memory of Christmas, but… truthfully, I do.
If it’s okay with you, would you listen to me?
MasumiGot it.
TsumugiOf course.
MisumiI’ll listen, I’ll listen~!
SakuyaThank you!
It happened when I was younger, on a day when Christmas was just around the corner.
“Santa Claus will only visit good children.”
“That’s why let’s help out a lot.”
That’s what the educational program I was watching said.
I could see the warm, shining form of Santa, who was delivering presents and dreams to children with a gentle smile on his face.
I wanted the Santa-san I admired so much to visit me too, so I started helping out a lot from that day onwards.
I washed plates, and swept the yard.
But I was unsatisfied with just that, and also picked up litter that I saw on my way to school.
“I’m sure Santa-san will come.”
Believing that, on Christmas morning, I excitedly looked at my bedside——
But there were no presents to be seen.
Hisoka
SakuyaI still remember the shock I felt when I woke up and realized that there was nothing there…
Ever since that incident, Santa-san hasn’t come to visit me even once
JuzaI see… That isn’t really something you’d want to remember, huh.
Misumi——If that’s the case! For this play, let’s do a story where I act as Santa-san and give Sakuya presents!
SakuyaHuh?
TsumugiYeah, that sounds good.
HisokaI think that sounds good, too.
MasumiIf we’re doing that, then the rest of the cast can do this… Also, something like this is good too.
JuzaYeah. Then, the costumes and backgrounds are…
MisumiEhehe, I’m sure it’ll be a good play~! I’m looking forward to it, Sakuya!
SakuyaYes…!
