Chika [thoughts]: It was a cherished and special place.
Chika [thoughts]: But it also held many regrets.
Chika [thoughts]: It was a place I always had to face alone
Side text: Going to that place, so these feelings can be delivered.
Chapter title: #148 I'm home, Welcome back.
Satowa [memory]: I want to go!
Sfx: Crii---i, crii---i, crii---i (cicadas)
Chiharu: Kudou-kun! Good morning.
Chiharu: I'm sorry, you came all this way on this heat.
Chiharu: Satowa will come out soon.\
Satowa: Goo- Good morning
Chika: Ye- Good. Morning...
Chiharu: Fufu Alright the, you two. Please be safe and have a good trip.
Chiharu: I'm leaving Satowa in your care.
Chika & Satowa: ........................
Satowa: A- Ah! That's right, flowers!!
Satowa: I wanted to buy some. Is it okay if we stop by a flower shop on our way?
Satowa: Eh? I mean, we are going to visit your grandfather, right? Ah, rather than flowers, should I perhaps get him something he particularly liked...?
Chika: Aah-- Sorry! We are not going to visit his grave today.
Chika: We're going to the place Gramps always lived in.
Chika: I also lived there when I was in my 3rd year of middle school. Now it's just a land for sale, though.
Chika: Even so, it sort of...
Chika: He is still there.
Chika: Yeah, so flowers aren't...
Chika: Hozuki, let's hold hands.
Satowa: Ah- Eh- O- Okay...
Chika: Wha-? You don't wanna...?
Satowa: No wai- That's not it.
Satowa: ...Right now, um... My hands... They are really sweaty... so...
Chika: Your hands are sweaty.
Satowa: Wh- What do you mean---
*No text. Translator choking on a sugar high right now*
Chika: This is the first time that I come here together with someone.
Satowa: Wha... What? Really!?
Chika: Ever since the land was put for sale, I've been coming here alone.
Gramps [memory]: What, Chika? Did you get into another fight?
Gramps [memory]: How carelessly do you have to treat yourself until you feel satisfied?
Gramps [memory]: What a boring life you live.
Gramps [memory]: A brat like you wouldn't understand the depth or appeal of the koto.
Gramps [memory]: You always choose to give on yourself.
Chika [thoughts]: Hey, Gramps.
Chika [thoughts]: I did pretty well, didn't I?
*No text. Translator cannot see through the tears*
Chika: That wind was amazing---!
Satowa: That surprised me---...
Chika: That was definitely Gramps, just now!
Satowa: It definitely was!
Chika: Your hair is now all over the place, though
Satowa: What? Wow, you are right.
Satowa: Oh, I think it's stuck.
Chika: .............................Should- Should we get going? Wahaha
Chika: By the way... Do you have time after this, Hozuki?
Satowa: Hm? Yeah, I'm free. We are going to leave the trophy with Yoshinaga-kun, right?
Chika: Ah, no, I meant after that.
Satowa: ....Yeah, I have time...
Chika: Wanna come to my house?
Satowa [Thoughts]: His. House.
Chika: Isaki!! Isaki will be there!! Right there!!
Satowa: Eh- Ah- I- I see!!
Chika: And also... my father... too.
Chika: Seems he wants to talk about something.
Chika: Apparently he is coming over in the afternoon.
Satowa: He wants to talk?
Chika: I don't know the details but
Chika: Something about the future? I think he wants to talk about that.
Chika: Seems like he called Isaki this morning.
Isaki [flashback]: I'm sorry Chika--- When you finally have your first date with Satowa-chan, my stupid brother...
Chika [flashback]: It's not a date, though...
Isaki [flashback]: ---But
Isaki [flashback]: I think it is something really important for you, Chika.
Satowa: Eh? Then... wouldn't I be a bother if I'm there, then?
Satowa: If it's something important----
Chika: It's because it is
Chika: It's because it is that I want you to be there, Hozuki.
Side note: The bond between them slowly deepens...
