"The words for you that are in my heart" "I want to tell them to you someday" "A low fever rising up, my heart starting to race" "I don't know when it began" "But once I realized this feeling that can't be erased" "It was too late to turn it into a lie" "Even if our encounter was a run-of-the-mill coincidence" "I feel it held special meaning" "I am constantly grateful to God that I can be by your side" "I want to be looking at your unflinching profile always" "The time I spend with you gives me unshakable strength" "The words for you that suddenly enter my mind" "I want to tell them to you someday" "Asa-senpai!" "Asa-senpai!" "Where are you?" "!" "Asa-senpai, where in the world did you go?" "Grandpa, hang in there!" "Asa-senpai!" "Not yet..." "Not yet." "Yup." "I'm still okay." "I better hurry." "Oh, A-chan..." "Asa-senpai!" "Asa-senpai!" "E-Excuse me." "Asa-senpai..." "Rimu-chan, is something the matter?" "Something bothers me." "Something?" "What is it?" "I don't know." "Rimu-chan..." "Where the heck did you go?" "I've lived there this whole time, but I've never taken my time to really look at it." "It's no use." "I can't find her." "Rin-chan..." "Get a grip!" "Don't you care if you never see Asa-senpai again?" "!" "Think." "Think!" "What places might Asa-senpai go to?" "Where?" "Where?" "!" "Don't worry, because I have a dream." "Someday, we'll be an old man and an old woman, and when that time comes, we'll go again..." "Oh..." "Just maybe..." "You will catch a cold out here." "Rin-chan!" "How did you know I'd be here?" "!" "I had a hunch." "I see." "Maybe our hearts really are connected to each other." "Come on, let us go back." "It is cold here." "A-Asa-senpai?" "It's strange, you know?" "When I got here, I suddenly felt a lot better." "What?" "This is where you confessed your love to me." "I was so happy." "My heart was in my throat, though." "A once in a lifetime confession?" "Well, sure... pretty much." "Hey, pull yourself together." "A half-baked attitude like "pretty much" doesn't do Justice to the great confession." "P-Pardon me." "But I'm glad you said it to me." "I'm really glad." "That you said it to me properly." "Asa-senpai..." "Oh, look, look!" "See?" "That's Verbena Academy." "What?" "I wonder if everyone's doing okay." "That's the middle school!" "When we first met, I was a third year student in middle school, right?" "You came to the Cooking Club with Kaede..." "That sure brings back memories." "Oh, that's the train station!" "You know, that was the first time I met a guy at a specific time and went on a proper date." "My heart was pounding so bad!" "Asa-senpai..." "Look, my house is somewhere in that area, right?" "Say, do you remember?" "When you first came over to visit, you were..." "Asa-senpai!" "Rin-chan..." "Please, use your magic." "I am begging you." "That's the one thing I can't do." "No matter what?" "I'm sorry." "I thought you would say that..." "Thank you for worrying about me." "But, this is the one thing I can't do." "In all honesty, I am powerless." "Asa-senpai..." "No, Asa-san, you are suffering and I could not do anything." "Even though I want to do something for you." "I do not know what to do anymore." "What is there that I can do?" "What can I do for you?" "I have been thinking about it all this time." "Though, in the end, I could not think of anything." "But I will never let you die." "No matter what I have to do." "Rin-chan?" "I could think of nothing, so this is about all I can do." "Rin-chan!" "No matter what I have to do, I want you to live." "So, I will have you use the magic, no matter what." "I love you, Asa-san." "I will always love you, even if it costs me my life." "Rin-chan!" "You dummy!" "What have you done?" "!" "We need to get you treated right away!" "Asa-senpai, I am stupid, so this was all I could think of." "I really and truly understand how you feel, but please let me say this." "What was it that Ama-san wished for?" "What Ama-san wished for is not for you to be human, is it?" "Isn't it for you to be alive?" "Isn't it for you to be smiling?" "I..." "Neither Ama-san nor I want to see you suffering." "So..." "No!" "You can't die, Rin-chan!" "It may not seem like it, but I cannot survive without someone in my life." "Rin-chan!" "If I become alone, I am confident I will be a corpse within 2 weeks." "Rin-chan, hang in there!" "Rin-chan!" "So, I need you to be there for me..." "Rin-chan!" "Rin-chan!" "No!" "Rin-chan, open your eyes!" "You can't die!" "You can't!" "You can't die!" "Rin-chan..." "Asa... senpai..." "Good morning." "You dummy." "It's been 3 weeks since then." "Kaede, hurry up!" "I have begun to attend Verbena Academy as a first year student." "Pardon me!" "I am sorry for making you wait." "Here you are, Rimu-chan." "You forgot this." "Thank you." "Kaede, where's yours?" "Oh, pardon me!" "Yo, Primula!" "How are things?" "Have you gotten used to school yet?" "Sort of..." "In that case, we should go observe your class sometime." "And I haven't seen Rin-dono lately, either." "Today, Ma-boy and I were..." "There's no way we're taking you!" "Shin-chan!" "Father!" "Stupid parents." "We were told later what had happened that day." "Oh, Big Bro!" "Morning, Primula." "Morning, everyone!" "Morning, Rin-kun." "Asa-senpai." "Kaede and the others scolded Rin for his recklessness in the incident," "Good morning, Rin-sama." "Asa-senpai." "Kaede and the others scolded Rin for his recklessness in the incident," "Good morning, Rin-sama." "Asa-senpai." "but in the end, I think that was so like him to do that." "Good morning." "but in the end, I think that was so like him to do that." "We've got great weather today again." "Asa is completely well now, too." "Yes." "Asa is completely well now, too." "The laundry has been accumulating, so this is a great help." "Just like me, as long as she has Big Bro, she'll probably be fine." "No kidding!" "Just like me, as long as she has Big Bro, she'll probably be fine." "But would you listen to me?" "Just like me, as long as she has Big Bro, she'll probably be fine." "But would you listen to me?" "No one talks about that day anymore." "Father puts out his loincloths and stuff for laundry all at once!" "No one talks about that day anymore." "Father puts out his loincloths and stuff for laundry all at once!" "Just by having the two of them safe and with us..." "It's unbelievable!" "Just by having the two of them safe and with us..." "By loincloths, are you referring to the classic underwear?" "Just by having the two of them safe and with us..." "By loincloths, are you referring to the classic underwear?" "Because that alone is enough for us." "Yup, all red ones!" "Because that alone is enough for us." "I do not really want to think about them." "Rin-kun, are you sleepy?" "Well, yeah." "It may be for the sake of making my own living, but delivering newspapers sure isn't easy." "I see you are working hard." "Oh, yeah." "Kaede, thanks for today." "Oh, no." "I was not able to do very much." "What was with that significant- sounding conversation?" "!" "It is not like that." "When I went to deliver to Kaede's house today, she Just happened to come out and treated me to a cup of coffee." "Right?" "No way!" "Kae-chan, that's no fair!" "I cannot allow myself to be outdone!" "Tomorrow, I shall have coffee ready for you as well, Rin-sama." "In that case, I'll make breakfast!" "I'll cook lots of delicious things!" "There's no way I can do that while I'm delivering." "Huh, nice going there, Kaede." "Oh, please, I Just happened to get up early." "Liar." "You set your alarm." "R-Rimu-chan!" "All right, you're on, Kaede!" "Okay, I'm gonna work hard to get up early!" "I will not be outdone." "Um, don't overdo it, you two." "Don't overdo it!" "Today's lunch..." "A-Asa-senpai?" "...turned out pretty amazing, so look forward to it, okay?" "H-Hold on!" "Well, I'll see you at lunch!" "Who're you?" "Big Bro wants to get in the same university as Asa, so he's studying hard..." "You've got some nerve, Tsucchi." "You owe me 100 reports by tomorrow!" "N-No way!" "But that's just the tentative plan." "O-O-One hundred reports?" "H-How the heck am I supposed to write that many?" "Um, Rin-kun." "These are my notes, but I think they should be of some use to you." "Rin-sama, if you would like, you could look at mine as well." "I can't lend you anything, but if it's Just cheering you on..." "Thank you, Sia." "Nerine." "No, no!" "You can't spoil Rin!" "What's your problem, Itsuki?" "Don't you think you're asking for too much, expecting these girls to be nice to you?" "You've got a perfectly fine girlfriend called Asa-senpai, don't you?" "That has nothing to do with this, now does it?" "On the contrary." "Now that you're taken, you have no right to be pampered." "You have to give everyone the opportunity to find new love." "So, what do you think, Kaede-chan?" "How about going out with me?" "So that's what it boils down to?" "Oh, um, I still care for Rin-kun, so I am sorry." "What?" "But Rin's got..." "I have permission from Asa-senpai that I am allowed to remain in love with Rin-kun." "Sheesh, I swear..." "Then, how about you, Nerine-chan?" "How about you and I..." "My apologies." "I am currently nurturing my feelings for Rin-sama, so..." "Then, Sia-chan?" "Sorry, the world of gods is a polygamous society, so there's no problem!" "Bummer." "Come on now, don't go bothering girls who've already set their hearts on someone." "Give it up already." "There are plenty of other girls around, right?" "Of course, I'll be spreading my love equally." "You're as scummy as ever." "It's only that I love every girl, that's all." "Like even you, Mayumi." "Your face is fine in my book." "What?" "!" "However, except for your face, everything else isn't worth my consideration." "Moron." "For example, your bust..." "Mayumi-chan..." "You're the worst!" "He brought it on himself." "Hello, everyone." "It is time for Nebu Lunch Box." "First we have some school news." "First we have some school news." "Nerine sure is working hard." "Our school tradition, Miss Benibara's Nerine sure is working hard." "Our school tradition, Miss Benibara's I hear she will be singing during the lunch broadcast sometime." "24-hour endurance footstool stepping exercise..." "I hear she will be singing during the lunch broadcast sometime." "24-hour endurance footstool stepping exercise..." "That'll be something to look forward to!" "Here you are, Rin-chan." "Oh, thank you for always making it for me." "I have pretty much been waiting for this moment all morning!" "Hey, hey, Rin-kun, I'll make you lunch sometime, too." "Sia-chan..." "Would that be bad, after all?" "I don't mind." "And I'm sure it'd make Rin-chan happy." "Right?" "What?" "Right..." "However, you have to eat mine, too!" "Y-Yes, of course." "Thank you, Rin-kun!" "I'll work hard to make it!" "But it doesn't bode well for the future if you're this henpecked already." "That reminds me, Rimu-chan made an item for lunch today, too." "Yup, I made something." "Wow, that's great." "Let me have a taste." "Sure." "Hey, it looks good." "But that sure is a big rice ball." "Well, thanks for the food." "Rin-kun?" "!" "Rin-chan?" "!" "Rimu-chan, what in the world did you give him?" "!" "Rin-kun!" "Mutton wrapped in herbs, extra-bitter flavor." "What a thing to make!" "Big Bro..." "Hey, do you mind if we drop by the bookstore on the way home?" "The November issue of "Home Cooking of Love" should be out." "No, I do not mind." "I was Just thinking of trying my hand at a new egg dish myself." "Oh, Rimu-chan, see you later." "Goodbye, Rimu-chan." "Oh, Kaede." "Rimu-chan." "It seems Rin-kun has already gone home." "He's at the usual place, right?" "What?" "Yes, probably." "Then, let's go!" "What?" "Wait, Rimu-chan!" "I found a nice cafe in front of the train station." "Their uniform is quite cute." "I bet Nerine-chan would look good in it." "Could it be you're talking about Flora?" "Oh, what the heck?" "You know about it, Shin-chan?" "Sure do." "They're the King of God's parfait supplier!" "Someone you know, Shin-chan?" "Nah, Just thinking she looked like someone I knew who passed away." "What a coincidence." "I was thinking the same, Shin-chan." "If she were alive, I would've liked to apologize to her once." "I sincerely feel terrible about what happened to her." ""Cafe Flora"" "Here again today?" "You certainly are attentive, Rin-san." "I-It is nothing like that." "You do not need to be embarrassed about it." "I-I am not embarrassed..." "Oh, could I put in my order?" "Yes." "Please come get the order!" "Wait, you could Just get my order!" "Oh, please do not be so shy." "See?" "Here she is." "Good of you to come, Rin-chan!" "I-It was good to come." "Sheesh!" "When you get all embarrassed, it makes me feel embarrassed, too!" "But..." "My, my." "It has already been a week since you started working here." "Are you two still not accustomed to it?" "I wonder if I picked the wrong Job, after all." "A frilly skirt like this doesn't look good on me." "That is not true." "What?" "It looks good on you." "Extremely good." "My!" "My!" "My!" "R-Really?" "Of course." "All right, then here's a little treat!" "A-Asa-senpai?" "!" "What did you Just call me?" "!" "Asa-san..." "Rin-chan!" "That was delicious." "Hurry up, Kaede!" "Wait a minute, Rimu-chan!" "We walk, the two of us together" "We search, the two of us together" "But mirrored in my gaze" "Is a wavering figure of you" "What is between you and me" "Is a sea of noise where dreams mingle" "There's something unchanging alive within you alone" "That's a treasure no one in the world will ever touch" "And it will surely shine more brightly than anything for you"
