Izumi | Hisoka-san disappeared!? |
Homare | I made certain that he was in bed before I went to sleep though… |
Tsumugi | It’s not good 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 in the bathroom. |
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 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?) |
| (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!? |
| ―― |
| (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 | …Whenever I’m weakened, I was taught to hide and lay low until my strength restores. |
Izumi | (Who would say that…? I don’t think a parent would say something like that…) |
Hisoka | … |
Izumi | You should sleep. I’m sure that everyone will find us in no time. |
| There’s no one here that can hurt you, Hisoka-san, so you don’t have to hide. 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 of that 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. |
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…) |
