Tsumugi’s grandmother | I’m sorry about this, Tsumu-chan. |
| This isn’t such a big deal. I will feel better as long as I get a good night’s rest… |
| Is it alright that you took a break from both your job and the theatre? |
Tsumugi | I happen to be free right now, so it’s fine. |
| Don’t worry, grandma. Relax and take it easy. |
|
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Thank you. |
| I’m happy that you’re staying at home for the first time in a while. |
Tsumugi | I’m glad that I get to be with you too, grandma. |
Zabi | Woof, woof! |
Tsumugi | Fufu. And Zabi too, of course. |
| *ding dong* |
| Ah, that must be Tasuku. |
Tasuku | I bought what you asked for. |
Tsumugi | Thanks. |
| Sorry for asking you to go shopping on top of coming home with me. |
Tasuku | Don’t worry about it. I was worried about grandma too. |
| Besides, it worked out perfectly since Director asked me to come and I also had something to do at home. |
| If you need anything again, just call me anytime. |
Tsumugi | That’s a great help. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Ta-chan? |
| Would you like to eat some hot spring manjuu? |
| I bought them when I went on a bus trip to a hot spring with a friend of mine. |
Tasuku | Thank you. |
| You’re always buying me souvenirs, grandma. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Tsumu-chan’s sure to buy you a souvenir wherever he goes as well. |
Tsumugi | Ahaha, that’s true, now that I think about it. |
Tasuku | Alright, I’m going to head home. |
| Make sure you head to bed early, grandma. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | I will do that. |
| Thank you for everything. Goodnight. |
Tasuku | Goodnight. |
| |
Tsumugi | Good morning. |
| I boiled some eggs for the morning. |
|
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Oh my, it smells nice. |
| You’ve gotten good at cooking, haven’t you, Tsumu-chan? |
Tsumugi | I make this at the dorm once in a while, so I guess it’s thanks to that. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | I see. I have a photo of the first time you cooked, Tsumu-chan. If I recall correctly, it’s in that album… |
Tsumugi | Don’t push yourself too hard, grandma. You should eat and then go right back to sleep. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | It’s alright. I’ve recovered tremendously thanks to you, Tsumu-chan. |
| Your body will weaken if you stay still. |
Tsumugi | Just a little then. |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Oh, here it is. Look at this fried egg. |
| You burned it two times, but succeeded the third time around. |
Tsumugi | You guys ate the burnt ones, didn’t you? |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Fufu. That sure takes me back. |
Tsumugi | That reminds me, the two of us have gone to a flower garden before, haven’t we? |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | Oh my… did we do something like that? |
Tsumugi | Remember, we rode the bus… it was really large… where was it again? |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | I don’t recall… I wonder if we have a photo. |
Tsumugi | Mmm… I think I was around 6 or 7 years old… |
| (I swear we went.) |
Tsumugi’s grandmother | I’m sorry. |
| I forget more and more things as the years go by. |
Tsumugi | It’s almost been 20 years already, so it can’t be helped. |
| (But it would feel a little sad forgetting my memories with grandma…) |
| |
Hisoka | 1, 2, 3, 4… |
Homare | Ow, ow, ow… please don’t push so hard. |
| I’ll have you know I am not origami. |
|
Hisoka | …Rather than origami, you’re a right angle. |
Homare | I’m bending more than 90 degrees, you know! |
Azuma | It sure is lively again today. |
Izumi | Come to think of it, I got a message from Tsumugi-san saying they’re coming home tomorrow. |
| Once the two of them are back, we’ll start discussing Winter troupe’s play. |
Homare | That is great to hear. Rehearsal is not as thrilling without the two head theatre junkies here. |
Guy | I look forward to seeing how our next performance will turn out. |
Izumi | Alright, shall we get started? |
Hisoka | …? |
Azuma | What’s the matter? |
Hisoka | (Azuma smells different than usual… |
| Strange. I feel like I’ve smelled this somewhere before…) |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
| I’m back… |
| …What’s this smell? |
|
August | Welcome back. |
| Thank goodness you’re here first, December. |
Hisoka | ??? |
|
August | I heard that sleeping with perfume on your bedding helps you relax. I gave it a try, but looks like I overdid it. |
Hisoka | …April’s going to be mad once he’s back. |
August | I know, I know. |
| I hope the smell fades a little… |
Hisoka | …I’ll get scolded with you. |
August | We’re totally gonna get scolded, huh? |
| Well, thanks. |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
Hisoka | … |
Azuma | Are you alright, Hisoka? |
Hisoka | … |
| …You smell different than usual, Azuma. |
|
Azuma | Oh, this? A friend gave me some perfume as a present saying it would suit me. |
| I suppose this scent wasn’t your cup of tea, hm? Sorry about that. |
Hisoka | No, that’s not it. |
Azuma | Is that so? That’s a relief. |
Hisoka | (I remembered August from a scent earlier as well.) |
| (My warm, precious memories with August… |
| How could I have forgotten them?) |
Izumi | Shall we start with etudes today? |
Homare | It is probably going to be harder than usual since we have fewer people. |
Hisoka | … |
| (I wonder if I’ll also forget my precious memories of my daily life with everyone one day…) |
| (I thought that even if I lost my memories, I could just make them again… but now, I feel kind of scared…) |
| *Sigh*… |
Homare | … |
