Taichi | Amazing applause! |
Sakyo | The guests’ reaction during the play wasn’t bad either. |
Kazunari | Yaaay! The festival of the dead’s stage was a raving success! |
Izumi | Everyone, good job! It was really great! |
Azuma | Thanks, Director. |
Izumi | I could see the audience’s seats from the stage wing, |
| Hatsue-san also looked like she was watching happily, Masumi-kun. |
Masumi | Yeah. |
Tsumugi | Well then, let’s head over to where Hatsue-san is after changing clothes. |
Masumi | Got it. |
| |
Tenma | So then, where is Masumi’s grandma? |
Masumi | Just now, she contacted me that she is at the main altar venue. |
Itaru | Okay. Then let’s go. |
| |
Hatsue | Everyone, you’ve worked hard! |
| It was very interesting, so much so that I laughed out loud. |
Tsumugi | It’s best that you enjoyed it. |
Hatsue | Masumi, your performance too, it was wonderful. |
Masumi | Thanks. |
| Hey… grandma, I have something I want to ask you. |
Hastsue | What is it? |
Masumi | The other day, on the dorm’s balcony… I heard you say to Director and Azuma that you don’t have much longer to live. |
| Is that… really true? |
Hatsue | …! |
| I didn’t think what I said that time had been heard! |
| Indeed, I said I don’t have much longer, but I didn’t mean that there was anything wrong with me. |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
| My husband… Masumi’s grandfather, passed away when Masumi was very young. |
Izumi | So, Masumi doesn’t really know much about his grandfather, huh. |
Hatsue | That’s right. Before when I talked about my husband, I was asked what kind of person he was. |
| Since my husband died, many years have already passed… |
| I have also reached a good age. |
| So, I also don’t have much longer left to live. |
Izumi | That’s… |
Hatsue | Please keep it a secret from Masumi that I was saying something like this. |
Azuma | But Hatsue-san, it seems you'll stay healthy for a while yet. |
Hastue | Yes. |
| Fufu, though I said that sort of thing earlier, I won't get sick. |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
Kazunari | I see—! It was something like that! |
Masumi | …Grandma, so you mean you weren’t saying something like you might die soon? |
Hatsue | I think that I don’t have much longer to live considering my age; however, I’m still as lively as ever. |
| Goodness, don’t go ahead with that kind of story and ask immediately. |
Masumi | Yeah… |
| That’s a relief… |
Tsumugi | The misunderstanding, it’s great it was resolved. |
Tenma | But when we first heard it, we were flustered… |
Sakyo | Geez, false alarm… |
Taichi | I’m relieved~! |
Itaru | Right. |
Izumi | (Everyone, they nestled close to Masumi-kun’s feelings and were watching over him…) |
