Track 02 – Sight-seeing at the first meeting.
Woops, are you OK? Be careful.
I’m sorry, it seems I made you worry.
It’s not like that, really! I have no intention to die!
I didn’t think you’d be that surprised.
Ah! Please don’t report me to the police or something! You seem like you’d do it, Onee-san.*1*
But I was lucky that our next destination was the same.
Well, in my case I didn’t really have something like a fixed destination.
Huh? Are you still doubting me? Do I look like I want to die that badly?
You too. is is all right for you to come with me? Although it helps me, I’m not really used to things like this.
Huuh? So you were supposed to come with someone else. Ahh, so she chose her boyfriend over you and cancelled in the last minute. What bad timing!
Friendship’s pretty much like that, for both men and women.
Aa…it seems you’re actually pretty depressed? I see, you were also lonely, Onee-san?
Ah…I was also…well, just a little. I helped helpless because I didn’t know what it means to do what you want to…
Huh? I? I think we’re about the same age…do I look older that much?
Oh, then I’m younger. I just turned 21 recently.
Is that so? I think that this outfit makes me look my age though…
My usual clothes are a different matter though.
Ah, no. I was talking to myself.
[02:20] *phone vibrates*
Ah…again?
Excuse me, I need to get this call.
Hello. I’m in the bus right now. It’ll inconvenience the people around, so I’m hanging up.
*sigh*
Huh? Oh, yes, it was the person who called before.
They’re really overprotective, right? I can’t keep up with them!
Well, if we talk about overprotectiveness, you’re the same. I think you’d be called a worrywart?
You’d usually ignore someone like me, right? because it’s a drag, isn’t it?
“Yeah”, you say…with such a straight face too.
Onee-san, you’re a pretty strict person, aren’t you?
Haha, even if you don’t get flustered and try to explain yourself, I know.
But you still couldn’t leave me alone. Right?
I take that back. You’re actually a kind person, aren’t you, Onee-san?
[04:10]
Huuh, so this is the Oowakudani *2*.
I heard there are many people who commit suicide here, so I thought there would be more trees and something like that.
Eh? Ah, that’s right. I’ll try not too say disturbing things here.
I don’t want to be scolded by the tourism association.
I plan to wander about this area. Do you want to come with me?
Oh…it sounds like I’m hitting on you after all.
Then, let’s go together.
It’s OK, I won’t follow you around persistently.
Ahh, this place is so nice. How should I say it, it looks remote from your everyday,
and even though the land is rugged and full of rocks and rising smoke, if you look farther, a magnificent natural scenery spreads out. It’s so realistic.
This is it. I really wanted to experience this kind of thing!
It’s not really like I was fixated on suicidal sights–uhm, on this kind of thing.
Anywhere would’ve been fine.
Anywhere’s fine if I can see a scenery different that usual.
It’s just that I was wondering what kind of place is that where someone who wants to die goes to; what kind of scenery does a person who’s cornered to the point of wanting to die seeks.
That kind of place seems like it’d have a peculiar feeling, doesn’t it?
I just wanted to feel that.
Ah…huh? The mood’s gotten kind of strange.
But isn’t it kind of surreal to think of a girl coming to this kind of place alone?
Although you weren’t planning to come alone. By any chance, did you go out of your way to come here for me?
I’m really not thinking about dying, so you know!
Though it’d be a lie if I said I never felt I wanted to do it.
Ah! Wait, wait! Don’t take it seriously!
Doesn’t everyone have that kind of moments? It’s not like I’m thinking about it seriously!
It’s just that when I’m busy, when I’m stuck with something or in moments like these, I think about it unconsciously…or something…
*sigh*sigh*
Heh, well, yeah. We just met so I’d be asking to much if I said I want you to trust me.
But if you got to know me, probably…!
[17:15]
*phone vibrates*
Ah, jeez!
Hello? Yeah… That’s all? Yeah…I know.
Yeah, we’re together.
Okay, wait.
Please say something. Just a word is okay!
Thanks.
I’ll be together with her for the whole trip. I have no intention of going back. Sorry.
Then I’m hanging up. You could at least…
I know. I really feel bad about this, but it’s impossible!
Bye!
*sigh*
Oh…I’m sorry for making you do that so suddenly. They don’t want me to be alone no matter what.
Yes…they also suspect me for the same thing as you do.
They won’t say it clearly, but they think I’m somehow worrying over too many things.
Sorry. Should we continue the sightseeing?
Ah…am I a bother by any chance? I can go by myself from here on, so…
Huh? Lunch? ah, is it that time already? Now I realize that I haven’t eaten anything since morning.
Yeah, then let’s stay together until there. It’s true, it may be difficult to have lunch by yourself in this kind of place.
Yeah. It’s okay with m
