More than four hours had now passed since they began walking through the mountain forest. Having looked for that long, even the energetic girl began showing signs of tiredness. That was when Koutarou suggested that they take a break by a nearby brook.
“Oh yeah, I never got your name”
”Aha! Now that you say so!”
The girl had been so focused on finding her mother that she hadn't even introduced herself. And since she called Koutarou Onii-chan, she had no trouble getting by. Being it was just the two of them, Koutarou had no problem calling her 'you'. Because of that, they hadn't gotten around to introducing themselves until now.
“I'm Kii!”
”Kii?”
“Yes!”
“I see, so you're called Kii...”
Koutarou had never heard that name before, but since there were a lot of kids with odd names nowadays he didn't think too much of it.
“What about you, Onii-chan?”
“Koutarou”
“Hmm, Koutarou huh.... what a weird name!”
“Is it weird?”
“Yeah!”
The girl called Kii gave Koutarou a large nod and smile. Seeing her bright expression, he felt himself getting happier as well.
I guess the name Koutarou is less used nowadays...
“Can I still call you Onii-chan?”
“Yeah. Can I call you Kii?”
“Yeah, that's okay! That's what mom called me!”
Kii cheerfully smiled and nodded. It was an innocent and happy smile, and it showed how much she had grown to trust Koutarou these few hours.
“But since dad calls me Kii, I prefer Kii-chan”
“Why is that?”
“Because dad always gets so angry. Even before when I said I wanted to go see the movie he said no!”
“Alright, then I'll call you Kii-chan”
“Yeah”
Kii was in a motherless family.
She's the same as me...
Even in the motherless Satomi family, there was a time where the relationship between father and son was awkward. Having recalled that, Koutarou could vaguely imagine Kii's relationship to her father. At the same time, he imagined that said father must be worried.
“Kii-chan, I'm sure your dad is worried sick about you at home. Why don't you go home for now and continue looking for the star tomorrow?”
“No”
Kii puffed up her cheeks and shook her head.
“I won't go back home! I will live on my own!”
“What!?”
Hearing Kii's answer, Koutarou's eyes open wide in surprise.
“J-Just wait a minute!! You mean you ran away from home!?”
“Yeah!!”
Kii smiled and nodded.
“Dad won't take me to see the Kabutonga movie! So Kii came alone!”
The girl showed a smile full of pride. She was satisfied that she had been able to surprise Koutarou.
“T-This is bad! I have to take you to the police right away!”
“The police?”
“They're the people that will take you home!”
If Kii had ran away from home, her father might have filed a missing person report. And if he had, the police would be conducting a major search. If a search party looks through this mountain, they might find the Cradle.
In contrast to Kii's bright smile, Koutarou and Clan were faced with a potentially fatal danger.
“Hey, Clan―”
Koutarou activated the bracelet and was about to contact Clan.
“No!”
However, before he could, Kii reached over and pushed the button that Koutarou had used to activate the bracelet. The bracelet was returned to its standby mode.
“Kii-chan!?”
“If you take me to the police, I will tell them that you kidnapped me!”
”W-what!?”
Koutarou had an identity, but since this was ten years in the past, his age didn't match his birth year. Because of that, he would be treated like an unknown individual if the police were to arrest him. Of course the same was true for Clan. There was a high chance that they would be assumed to be illegal immigrants. And if they were made out to be kidnappers as well, that would be the least of their problems.
“Kii-chan, that's not good! You have to go home!”
Koutarou hurriedly tried persuading her. If he didn't get her to go home fast, the police might show up.
“I won't go home!”
However, Kii firmly refused and shook her head.
“I'm going to find mom and we'll go see Kabutonga!”
“Kii-chan...”
Kii had run away from home after fighting with her father because she wanted to see the movie. And after spotting the Cradle landing, she began looking for her mother's star. However, there was no way that she would find it. At this rate, she would just spend her time wandering the mountain all night.
“Kii-chan, if you do find that star and see the movie, will you go back home?”
It was a particularly difficult situation for Koutarou, but he couldn't just leave a young girl alone in the mountains. And so he began thinking of the best way that he could fulfill her wishes. He believed that letting her search for the star until she was satisfied, then taking her to the movie would be the best way to get her to go home.
“Hmm...”
Kii crossed her arms and began thinking about Koutarou's proposal. Her well-shaped eyebrows furrowed and gave off a mature impression.
Huh, this girl...?
Seeing that expression, Koutarou began feeling like he had seen her face before. But he couldn't tell who she was, and it wasn't all that important right now so he soon forgot about it.
“In that case... I might, go home...?”
That was the conclusion Kii reached as she held a finger on her chin.
