Kanoko and wounds
You mustn’t let kanoko escape
So you watch the front gate, nishimura -san
I’ll take the back gate!
Ye— yeah
What on earth are you planning? So, the first period is self -study so I’ll continue Shall we do a selfintroduction?
That’s … yukinii and policemansan?
I’m an exchange student
Aabout myself!?
About myself ah
uh
i… uh...
Something about yourself!
Sending tabi to school...
I’m
aah
This city is
Where I They’re lived 5 looking years ago at me
I came to this city to visit my childhood friend kou -chan...
Everyone’s looking at me
They’re looking at me
Will we ever meet
They’re laughing at me—... Meeting him
What’s wrong, transfer student—
Wait!!
Ah—... What are you trying to do, suddenly coming to school, suddenly collapsing!
It’s kanokochan...
I’m… weak
I’m weak at school... 36 people ...
72 eyes looking at me
What’s wrong— are you okay? 36 mouths laughing at me
Do you feel ill?
I’ll take you to the infirmary!
72 ears listening to my voice
If you can get kanoko -chan’s tegata You might be able to meet with kouchan
For kouchan…
This is your chance
hmmm
Can you try your best for kou -chan?
Yeah ...
Tabikun! I’ll do my best!!
Can she really do it, that tabi
...yeah
It’s okay… it’s okay
She says she understands love
She doesn’t understand a thing
Huh?
That’s...
Alright, just as planned!!
Um… where’s the infirmary ?
Are you clueless? Innocent?
The roof seems better for your condition Because there’s no one here?
A strange school...
As you can see, it’s just the roof!
The infirmary is on the roof
...yeah Thanks, kanokochan
How is yuki-nii?
He can cheer up yukitakun even without meeting him, as expected of kou-chan
Though I haven’t known him long
Uh, he’s more depressed than I’ve ever seen him
Um, right
Who’s kouchan?
Though he’s depressed
When I talk about kouchan he becomes lively as usual
But kouchan became my friend
Kouchan is my childhood friend
Since a long time ago I’ve been bad at talking… so I don’t have friends ...I’m weak at scho ol
But this city has become strange
It said ‘do your best’
5 years ago, I got a letter even after I moved
The roads cannot be crossed
So I did my best
I can’t even go to where kouchan is
So I came to see him
But I just couldn’t do it
I see
Yuki-nii is helping you to meet this ‘kouchan’
Eh? Regardless of what I do, yuki-nii will not be able to leave this city
Being unable to leave this city, repeating the same day over and over
The sekimori who wished for this is not me
Because, I didn’t wish for anything
Yesterday, what I said to yuki-nii, I was actually saying to myself
Even though I hate my current self
Even though he said it was okay to wish for anything
In the end, I didn’t wish for anything
I’m truly empty…
I’m the one who has nothing
You don’t know anything
So don’t say anything
That can’t be...
But kanoko -chan
Is the candy king
You were able to properly confess to yukita-kun
I thought
Above giving someone Asking else for your someone’s candy candy ball ball is scarier
People’s words are like candy balls
If they refuse, it will hurt
...ah
That’s really amazing I think...
That’s why
Because kanokochan wasn’t afraid of getting hurt
You’re wrong
I didn’t ask for anything Then I, too—
I didn’t wish for anything
So I only gave it
I was scared too
All I did was push everything
All of my wounds, onto yukinii
But yukinii, every day He innocently talked about his dream, I couldn’t stand it
At first, this was fine
When this city first became strange, yuki-nii also repeated the same day without noticing it
In this city, remembering ‘the next day’ is only for the sekimori or those with tegata
Wake up
That’s why I hid my tegata such that yuki-nii would not notice
Look at reality
I suffered having to repeat my normal, boring self every day… I thought yuki-nii was suffering too, having to repeat his inability to achieve his dream every day
If he keeps his memory, it will be more painful You have nothing too
Saying I love him was also a lie
Because I thought saying these things would increase yuki -nii’s feelings of guilt
I don’t actually hate yukinii
Oh right, tabi
If I do that, I will remain as an awful scar
If I can’t remain in that person’s heart with a clean image… at least It’s fine to hurt him a lot
If you fall from the roof right now, will yuki-nii be more hurt?
