Chapter 160

-01- (splash: Watanuki)

"About Kimihiro-kun... please."

No longer alone,
not wanting to be alone.

The feelings for Watanuki flood out of Kohane.
Kohane wants to relay her wish to Doumeki.
Whatever difficulties are meant by "what is to occur",
hesitating, worrying, they want to seize the future...! (T/N: I'm not sure exactly who this phrase refers to.)

-02-

Side text: Watanuki and company spend gentle, warm moments. What is inside in Kohane's heart that she wants to deliver are a present for Yuuko, and her feelings for everyone.

Doumeki: Thanks for today's meal.
Obaa-san: Oh no, I'm the one to thank you
for that delicious sake.

Obaa-san (SFX): You turned out to be
quite the avid drinker, Shizuka-kun!
Next time I'll ready our
prized old sake for you!
Doumeki (SFX): Then, I'll bring
the Awamori. (T/N: Awamori is a type of Okinawan liquor.)
Watanuki (SFX): They drank
all that and are
still talking about
sake?

Kohane: This
Kohane: is for Yuuko-san and Mokona-kun.

Watanuki: Thanks.
They'll be delighted.

Kohane: That'd be nice...

-03-

Watanuki: It was incredibly good.
Watanuki: If she fould out that only me and him ate it, what kind of trouble will we get into?
And with Mokona too.

Kohane: I'm glad.

Kohane: Will you teach me again?
Cooking.

Watanuki: Of course.

Watanuki: So that your mother can eat too.
Right?

-04-

Kohane: ... Okay.

-05-

Doumeki: ... But, you know,

Doumeki: that mother sure accepted living apart from the kid easily.
Watanuki: I heard the old woman and Kohane-chan persuaded her.

Watanuki: Seems it took several days,
but eventually she shut up and let go.

Watanuki: Kohane-chan has really become able to smile often.
Doumeki: Yeah.

-06-

Watanuki: So, I think her mother too will change for sure.
Watanuki: Since Kohane-chan changed that much.

Doumeki: ... That kid

Doumeki: was worried that she ended up giving the balloon to her mother.

-07-

Watanuki: Why?
Doumeki: It seems that

Doumeki: if possible, she wanted to return it to you.

Watanuki: That belongs to Kohane-chan,
Watanuki: so she should give it to a person she wants to give it to.

-08-

Doumeki: ... She was a bit down because (T/N: I had to make a bit of an adaptation here; what's actually in the text is that Kohane's quoted line ends in something of a frustrated tone.)
Doumeki: if you had it, it might help you in case something happened. (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "it". The kanji reads "balloon".)

Watanuki: ... I got her worried,
Kohane-chan...

Doumeki: ......

Watanuki: ... You know,

-09-

Watanuki: for a long time, I've felt that
Watanuki: I "mustn't be here".

Watanuki: I'd wondered whether I felt so because my parents died and I alone survived,
Watanuki: but I've come to get a bit of a different feeling.

-10-

Doumeki: ... Different how?

Watanuki: I dunno.
Watanuki: I don't remember.

-11-

Doumeki: What's with that?

Watanuki: It's how it is.

Watanuki: But,
even if I don't remember,

-12-

Side text: His ideal existence continues to shake, the distress is without end. But, the connections and feelings of others try to change Watanuki!!

Watanuki: I've come to feel that if I have
Watanuki: people who'll remember me, I want to be here.

Bottom text: Is Watanuki's existence the hitsuzen headed towards "what is to occur"!?

Seems like next chapter we're back to the shop.
