Reality and Mystery 4

Kanata: mmm~ ...you all should Begin by Understanding your Selves better~

let us all hold Hands everyone.

by Touching other people you come to understand your own Form as well. you will be able to see your Outline and then you will realize your Place in the world.

we will start from there so take each other’s hands... connect with them and become Part of something Bigger than yourself.

now you can see Yourself from Above so you will be able to Move freely and without restriction, yes?

like a ship bobbing in the water, floating, floating... ♪

Tetora: N–no, I still don’t get what you mean by seeing yourself from above!

Kanata: hmm is it difficult? that is quite the predicament...

Tetora: I–I’m doing my best! Is it kinda like this, Senpai?

Kanata: yes, very good very good... ♪

do not rush, do not hurry, tetora~ you are all still Children after all... you are allowed to Grow up at your own pace.

until you are Grown up it will be bothersome but we will Protect you all...

we will become a Levee to keep you from any Storms.

and in doing so... i have a Wish that you all will teach me Important things just like chiaki.

floating, floating... ♪

wishes are like the Eggs of a sea turtle...

most of the time they are crushed. no matter how many Tears are shed over them you cannot help giving birth to more... ♪

Shinobu: Umm, I don’t fully understand what thou meanest! But I will do it as well; Tetora-kun cannot be the only one trying! Come, Midori-kun, let us do it together~ ♪

I am the smallest of us all, so I have to work twice—no, twenty times harder to keep up with ye ♪

Midori: Ugh... fine, but can I at least take off this costume...? It’s seriously hot in here. I can barely breathe, I think I’m dying...

Shinobu: Ahaha, I believe thou saidst that thou wouldst test it out to see if thou canst move properly?

Thou wilt be fine like that, so let us dance together. I can’t wait any longer... ♪

Kanata: come, come~ welcome shinobu and midori. now we can all dance together. let us have fun and enjoy ourselves.

we will sing and dance and laugh... ♪

it does not matter how much you Cry if at the end of the day you are Smiling.

that is the ryuseitai that chiaki wished for~... ♪

Midori: (Urgh... Shinkai-senpai is surprisingly strong... He’s holding onto my arm, so there’s no chance of escape or running away...)

(Morisawa-senpai is crazy enough, but this guy’s gonna give me all sorts of trouble too, isn’t he...?)

(Oh, c’mon... this whole thing is insane. All of these guys are way too carefree... but I guess I don’t feel that uncomfortable...?)

(But I feel like I’ll lose if I get carried away by the atmosphere and start liking it... ♪)
