Homare’s Grandfather | You can do anything you want with this room. |
| You said you need a study right? |
Homare’s Grandmother | If it’s a Haiku I can make it while I’m walking. |
| I don’t need such a big study for that. |
| For example, one that I made recently… |
Homare’s Grandfather | Fu, I thought it would make you happy, you don’t really like gathering for parties or tea right? |
| I just thought that you need a place to be by yourself. |
Homare’s Grandmother | …It’s not my fault that I can’t make anything. |
| Let me use the place then. |
Homare’s Grandfather | What should we put here? |
| How about a mahogany desk by the window. |
| We can get a shelf from the store, and you can line up your favourite books there. |
| You can also place your favourite rose over there. |
Homare’s Grandmother | No. With that painting… |
| I’m good with a table set to have tea with you. |
Homare’s Grandfather | – |
| I see. |
| Then, let’s do as you wish. |
| *Time Skip* |
|
Homare’s Grandmother | … |
Homare | Grandmother, do you want some tea. |
Homare’ Grandmother | With pleasure. |
Homare | I always thought about it, but this place is very bleak and monotonous. |
| How about adding a bit more interior? |
Homare’s Grandmother | …. Fu. |
Homare | Grandmother? |
Homare’s Grandmother | We’re planning to have reinforcement work done here soon. |
| It’s an old building, so I’ve been worried that it’s going to be blown away when a typhoon comes. |
| It seems that a big typhoon is approaching too… |
| I’ll leave the interior to you. |
| You can do anything you want. |
Homare | –Yes! I’ll make sure it has the calm and meaningful atmosphere that grandmother likes. |
Homare’s Grandmother | There’s only one thing… I want this painting to be put here as it is now. |
Homare | Ah, it’s always displayed over here. |
Homare’s Grandmother | It’s my treasure. |
Homare | Grandmother’s… |
Homare’s Grandmother | You looked surprised. |
Homare | Ah, nothing— |
| What’s the name of the painter? |
Homare’s Grandmother | He’s not that famous. |
| That’s why, I can’t recall anything about him. |
Homare | Then, – |
Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| By the way, is that pocket watch still moving? |
Homare | Eh, yeah, of course. |
| I’ve gotten it taken care of in an excellent repair shop. |
| *Shifts to Hisoka/Homare’s Room* |
Tasuku | Is Arisugawa inside? |
Hisoka | …He’s staying over at his family’s home today. |
Tasuku | Then, please pass this back to Arisugawa. |
Hisoka | …The pocket watch, is it fixed? |
Tasuku | For now, but the parts are getting worn out, I think it will break soon. |
| The parts are not available anymore, it’s really reaching the end of its lifespan. |
| Handle it carefully. |
| If it’s subjected to shock, you’ll shorten its lifespan even more. |
Hisoka | …Understood. |
Tasuku | About Arisugawa’s grandmother’s condition… |
Hisoka | ? |
Tasuku | Nothing—There’s a message inside of that pocket watch right. |
| It said, “To the mechanical you, with love. Sakae.” |
| When I looked at that earlier, I’m somehow reminded of Arisugawa’s grandfather and grandmother. I’m just a bit curious. |
Hisoka | …Why not try and LIME Alice. |
Tasuku | Me, out of the blue? That would be weird isn’t it. |
Hisoka | Whoever it is, anyone would be happy if someone else expresses concern for their family. |
Tasuku | …I see. I guess so. |
Hisoka | …Zzzzzzz |
Tasuku | Don’t sleep while you’re still holding the pocket watch! |
| You’ll drop it! |
| Sigh… And I thought you said something decent for once. |
