Muku | Ah, Director-san, Arisu-san. |
Izumi | Welcome back, the two of you. |
| Where did you come from? |
Sakuya | They released a comic version of the movie we watched the other day, so we went to the bookshop to buy them. |
Kazunari | He~, I see. |
Muku | That painting, what happened to it? |
Izumi | Actually… |
| *Short Time Skip* |
Muku | I see. |
Kazunari | It’ll be great if we can repair it somehow, but… |
Homare | But, even though it’s grandmother’s important painting, she doesn’t seem to be enthusiastic about the repair. |
| She also didn’t tell me much information about the original painting… |
Kazunari | We’re stuck huh. What to do… |
Homare | Why is it that grandmother is so reluctant to repair it. |
Sakuya | From the beginning, why is it that this picture is so important to Homare-san’s grandmother? |
| Is it just a painting that she likes? |
Homare | Why… I wonder why. |
| When I think about it, I never heard of the reason before. |
Sakuya | I thought, a treasure is not something that you can easily find. |
| For me too, I received a lot of important things since I entered the troupe, but when it comes to treasure, it’s not easy to choose. |
| That’s why, I don’t think she only likes it, there must be a reason behind it. |
Homare | A reason huh… Hmm. |
Muku | Maybe it’s related to your grandfather. |
| Your grandmother and grandfather got married because they deeply love each other right. |
Homare | Yeah, there’s a possibililty. |
| But I don’t have many memories about my grandfather. |
| What I can remember— |
| Grandfather and painting, is it… |
| |
| *Recall Memories at Grandmother’s Study* |
| …Grandfather? |
Homare’s Grandfather | Oh, it’s you, Homare, what is it. |
Homare | Grandmother said the tea is ready. |
Homare’s Grandfather | Thank you. I’ll be there soon. |
Homare | That pocket watch, is it broken again? |
Homare’s Grandfather | Yeah. But it’s already repaired. |
| Recently, the number of parts has decreased, it’s getting harder and harder to maintain it. |
| My sight is getting worse too, this watch and me too, we’ve become old. |
| It’s been 30 years huh… |
Homare | …? |
Homare’s Grandfather | That painting was drawn around the same time that I bought this watch. |
| That painting, it’s an important memory of my time with grandmother. |
| *Back to Present* |
| |
Homare | Right. |
| He said that it’s an important memory of his time with grandmother. |
| He didn’t tell me what was really drawn there… |
| Maybe, we can find another message by grandfather on this painting. |
Kazunari | Ah! There’s something written on the back! |
Homare | “To the meddlesome you, with love. Miyako.” |
Izumi | Eh? |
Kazunari | Miyako is, your grandmother’s name? |
Homare | Yeah. |
Kazunari | So, it’s something that Aririn’s grandmother give to your grandfather. |
Homare | I’ve always thought it was a gift from grandfather… |
Izumi | When you talk about treasure, I guess it’s something that you received from someone else. |
Muku | Is it possible that the treasure isn’t that painting. |
Homare | What do you mean by that? |
Muku | Grandfather said that it’s an important memory right. |
| That’s why, I’m sure that the painting is full of precious memories for the two of them, the treasure then refers to those memories doesn’t it. |
Izumi | I see. It’s not the painting, but the precious memories, I wonder if grandmother meant it that way. |
Homare | Not the item but the memories… I see. |
| Once again, I fail to understand people’s feelings. |
Kazunari | I wonder if I ended up doing something unnecessary. |
Izumi | But, I’m sure that grandmother’s happy from your feelings. |
| Otherwise, she won’t even let you try to repair it. |
| Tomorrow, why not we try to talk to her again. |
| Then, we can rethink of what we can do in this case. |
Homare | Yeah, you’re right. |
Kazunari | Let’s do that. |
