TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK, shion It was another hot day in a tranquil village nestled in the mountains, seemingly detached from the outside world. The scorching summer sun shone brightly as white clouds peeked out from the mountains. In the countryside of Tsukinose, three children, their sweaty shirts sticking to their skin, were earnestly staring at something. “I’ll approach from the right side of the dō, so Haruki, you hide and wait for me further ahead.” : A dō is…

TL: NaCl PR: shion It was dusk near the end of one summer, a time when two children innocently believed that their happy days would continue forever. “Moving?” “Yeah, to a place really far away.” “Will we not be able to play anymore?” “…I don’t know.” Deep in the mountains, beyond the premises of an active shrine, was a secret base made by children in an old and abandoned shrine building. There, two bewildered children, shoulders trembling, fought back their tears…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK, shion With summer’s twilight in the distance, Haruki walked home alone, her steps light. She was aware that she felt somewhat buoyant despite being alone, having been requested by the homeroom teacher to run some errands after school. It wasn’t unusual for Haruki to be asked to do such things. In fact, she used to willingly volunteer herself for such tasks in the past, all for the sake of delaying going home alone even if only for a little…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK It was afternoon at the school building when the sounds of physical education classes echoed across the field, and the glaring early summer sun shone through the windows. As minds relaxed and drowsiness dominated the classical literature class, Hayato found himself drifting off. At that moment, a folded piece of paper suddenly flew towards him. “Hm…?” There was only one person Hayato could think of who would do such a thing. Sure enough, when…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK Himeko returned home just before 7 p.m., just as the sun was beginning to set. “I’m home~” “Welcome back. Huh, where’s Haruki?” “She said she’s too tired to come over and eat today, so she’ll just grab something on the way back.” “The Haruki getting exhausted…? What on earth did you do…” “Just regular shopping?” Hayato gave Himeko , who had a radiant glow and satisfied expression on her face, a skeptical…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK, shion The rain that had been pouring down last night had completely lifted by dawn. The sky, washed clean of impurities in its atmosphere, stretched a deep clear blue. Despite it being shortly after dawn, the bright sun still managed to pierce through the curtains, tickling Haruki’s eyelids. “Mn… Hm, huh?” Haruki, upon waking up, was bewildered by the unfamiliar scenery that met her eyes. Her mental faculties were slowed down by her…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK It was currently Sunday, the day that Hayato had made plans to choose and buy a smartphone with Haruki. Himeko, who had commandeered the Kirishima living room TV since sunrise, looked puzzled when she laid eyes on her brother, who was supposed to be heading downtown. “Onii, seriously, a straw hat?” “Huh, I mean, heatstroke and all…” “The abundance of buildings blocks direct sunlight, and you can easily find plenty of air-conditioned…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK Having finished Saturday’s breakfast, Hayato found himself being forcibly dragged into the living room by Himeko for a fashion check. “What do you think of this? Isn’t it a bit too childish?” Himeko twirled around in front of the sofa, flipping the hem of her dress. It was sleeveless, had a floral design, and was excessively girly, yet she seemed dissatisfied as she hummed to herself. “Umm, I think it looks fine?” “Geeeez, Onii! Give…

TL: NaCl ED: Ikea PR: AmadCSK Her school was a 20-minute walk from their apartment. Unlike the countryside of Tsukinose, where the elementary, junior high, and the high school shared an old one-story wooden shack, Himeko’s current junior high was a three-story building made from reinforced concrete. Her uniform was no longer an old-fashioned jumper skirt; it now featured a checkered skirt and a sailor top with the same pattern on its collar. It was Himeko’s favorite uniform by…
