Chapitre 209

FX: R-ring
Watanuki: Ah.
FX: R-r-ring
Ri--
FX: Click
Watanuki: Hello?
Himawari: Hello, Watanuki-kun.
------------
!!! page 03
Watanuki: Hello, Himawari-chan.
Can you talk now?
Himawari: Yes, it's fine.
Yesterday, when he returned from his business trip, we could finally drink all of it.
The chrysanthemum wine.
Watanuki: Your husband finally returned, huh.
Himawari: Yes.
On the day that I received it, September 9th, though he only drank a little, he got drunk and went to sleep immediately.
The next day, since he had a long-term business trip, we couldn't drink it, and he felt that it was a great shame.
Watanuki: Oh, he's got quite a tolerance.
Couldn't he hardly drink at all at first?
------------
!!! page 04
Himawari: But he says that he likes the sake you make, Watanuki-kun.
He says it's delicious.
Watanuki: I'm glad.
As long as your husband isn't a bother.
Himawari: The bother is with other foods.
He praises what I make to some extent, but his chopsticks are always heading for what you make, Watanuki-kun.
Watanuki: Huh?
That's your imagination.
Himawari: No, it's not.
Watanuki: But
Surely the most delicious is what you make, Himawari-chan.
Since it's handmade by his beloved wife.
Himawari: I hope so.
Watanuki: There's no mistake.
Himawari: Hee hee.
------------
!!! page 05
Himawari: But the chrysanthemum wine this time was delicious, too.
Thank you very much…as always.
Watanuki: I'm glad it got to you on September 9th.
Himawari: The Chrysanthemum Festival, right?
Doumeki-kun explained it when he brought it over.
Oh, right.
Speaking of Doumeki-kun, about Kohane-chan.
I took that chrysanthemum wine over to her house with Doumeki-kun.
------------
!!! page 06
Himawari: She was a pretty girl before, but recently, she's gotten more and more beautiful.
Watanuki: Yes,
…Truly.
------------
!!! page 07
------------
!!! page 08
Kohane: Kimihiro-kun, for tea, I can…
FX: Turning
Kohane: …What?
Is there something?
Watanuki: No.
I was just thinking that you really are beautiful,
Kohane-chan.
------------
!!! page 09
Watanuki: Yes,
That really is the best one.
FX: Slowly
Kohane: Really?
Watanuki: That sort of grown-up look has come to suit you too, Kohane-chan.
What about the fitting?
FX: Clothing rustling
FX: Clothing rustling
Kohane: Obaa-chan said she'd do it.
Though it'd be good if I could learn to put it on myself.
Watanuki: If you like, I can teach you.
Is that okay?
Kohane: Of course.
------------
!!! page 10
Watanuki: Um, the obi is this one.
This is the han'eri. [TN = under-collar]
The obiage, and the obidome. [TN: = obi sash and sash clip.]
The tabi have measurements…
Kohane: I have ones that were made.
Watanuki: Right.
Then this is everything.
Kohane: Is it all right to borrow them?
Watanuki: Of course.
Kohane: But
This…
------------
!!! page 11
Watanuki: These are things that came to the shop after I took it over.
Certainly,
It feels like something Yuuko-san would wear,
That pattern.
FX: Grip
------------
!!! page 12
FX: Clasp
Watanuki: Now then, the day after tomorrow, tea ceremony.
Kohane: Yes,
Sunday.
Watanuki: Then I'll sew on the han'eri.
And, that Doumeki is coming over tonight,
So tomorrow I'll make him deliver it to obaa-chan's house.
Kohane: But, it's heavy…
------------
!!! page 13
Watanuki: That's just why,
you see.
Since it's futile to go out, I have help, and times like this are just the times to use it.
Kohane: Yes.
Shizuka-kun is big.
Watanuki: Pointlessly.
I knew it was futile.
------------
!!! page 14
Doumeki: Huh?
FX: Bouncing
Mokona: Welcome hooome, Doumeki!
DoumekI: I'm home.
FX: Grip
FX: Yaaay
FX: Rubbing
Mokona: Sake!
Watanuki: You don't need dinner, right?
Doumeki: Yeah.
I ate before I came.
Watanuki: Snacks! Not the special kind.
FX: Bounce
Maru, Moro, come help!
Hey!
Doumeki: Did something happen?
------------
!!! page 15
Mokona: A conversation about big being better than little.
FX: Landing
Doumeki: In gifts?
If it got any bigger than this…are you saying to bring home a barrel?
FX: Tottering
Mokona: No, but let's try that!
Yahoo!
Next is a cask of sake!
A ceremonial breaking!!
FX: Boounce!
------------
!!! page 16
Watanuki: So,
what did you want to show me?
FX: Rummaging
Doumeki: Yeah.
Seems my professor is looking after this for a professor from another university.
FX: Slowly…
Doumeki: They examined it there, but…
It seems they couldn't figure out what it is.
Watanuki: May I look at it?
Doumeki: It seems he wants you to look at it.
------------
!!! page 17
Doumeki: The talisman you checked out before was just as you said.
And the magic square and the technique formula.
So that's why he said you this time as well.
Watanuki: How do you explain about me to your professor?
Doumeki: I have a friend who's knowledgable in these matters.
------------
!!! page 18
Watanuki: Well, you're not lying.
FX: Thunk
Doumeki: My professor is fundamentally a realist, but he's a person who understands that there are some things that overcome human knowledge.
Well,
It seems like he hasn't really been able to meet that, whatever it is.
Watanuki: I've only seen photos and videos of his materials,
But somehow I feel your professor is a good person.
He gave the price conscientiously, too.
Doumeki: He said to use it fully this time, too.
------------
!!! page 19
Watanuki: The wish is?
Doumeki: That he wants to know what that is.
!!! page 20
FX: Rustling…
FX: Flapping
------------
!!! page 21
Girl: Who are you?
------------
!!! page 22-23
Watanuki:… I'm called Watanuki.
Girl: If the name you're called, that's being inquired about, is false--
Watanuki: That's not the case.
But it's probably not my real name.
Girl: Besides, you're a practitioner.
Watanuki: I have that pretension,
But otherwise--
Girl: What do you do?
Watanuki: I operate a store.
------------
!!! page 24
Girl: So I've been handed over to someone else's hands.
To a person who doesn't understand my role.
Watanuki: Your
Role?
Girl: As I thought, you're the same.
…Will I rot like this,
Without being in the place I must be?
------------
!!! page 25
Watanuki: …There's a person who wants to know what you are.
Girl: What did you say?
Watanuki: The person who is keeping you now
Came to me requesting to know what kind of existence you are.
We've never met directly, but I think he's a good-hearted person.
If there are circumstances that you want to exist, he won't oppose them.
------------
!!! page 26
Girl: Who is that?
Watanuki: A university professor
Of folklore studies. [TN: Also commonly known as ethnology.]
Girl: Folklore studies?
Watanuki: Customs and stories and things that have come down to people from ancient times.
Besides that, making material things that do or don't have form.
You could say it's a field that asks what the past was like, and how it's different from now.
Girl: …Hmph.
…It seems like this time wasn't a false name.
------------
!!! page 27
Watanuki: Please look on the name with magnanimity.
Girl: If you have power, isn't there a method?
Watanuki: Thank you very much.
Girl: Even so,
You said he made a request.
False-name Watanuki.
Watanuki: That's right.
Girl: In that case,
------------
!!! page 28
Girl: I'll show you
What I am.
I wish I could be surprised that Clamp have summarily married Himawari off. Do I need to be afraid for Kohane's life now that she's an adult?
