Chapter title: #130 Saotome Miran

Page 2

Miran [thoughts]: It all started with a small distortion

Side text: The essence of Miran's problem is...

Girl 1: Woaah--- Your big sis is so cute, Miran-chan--!!

Girl 2: She looks like a real princess!!

Miran: Hehe...

Girl 1: But Miran-chan, you look nothing like her!

Girl 3: That's so weird...

Page 3

Miran's mom: Listen here, Miran!!

Miran's mom: Are you playing with mom's makeup again? How many times have I told you not to!?

Miran: I want this. Buy me.

Miran's mom: Children don't need it!

Miran: I want, I want!

Miran's mom: Don't throw a tantrum!!

Page 4

Miran's mom: Miki, you had all perfect scores again!?

Miran's mom: That's amazing!

Miran's mom: I haven't even seen you study all that much at home...

Miki: I just pay very close attention in class--

Page 5

Miran's mom: Miran!! Why did you tear up and throw your tests in the trash!? I didn't even come to show them to me!

Miran: ...Cuz they are trash.

Miran: There's no point in showing you something like that.

Miran's mom: ...

Page 6

Girl 1: Miran's big sis appeared in the newspaper ---

Girl 2: She won the Grand Prize in the Essay Contest. That's amazing!

Miran [thoughts]: Mine wasn't selected.

Girl 1: She also has the leading role in the school play.

Miran [thoughts]: I'm Citizen C.

Miki: Miran--!

Miki: Let's go home together--!

Miran [thoughts]: Big Sis is

Miran [thoughts]: As pretty as a princess

Miran [thoughts]: She's smart, very athletic, the best at anything she does, and very popular in class.

Page 7

Boy 1: Whaaa--- Is this really Miki's little sister?

Boy 2: This is incredible, you two look nothing alike. Are you even blood-related? This is hilarious---

Miki: What?

Miki: I came to pick up my precious little sister... And what is this?

Miki: I don't see what's so funny. Saying things like that is seriously lame.

Boy 1: Eh- Ah.

Boy 2: Sorry...

Miran [thoughts]: She is kind, strong, righteous and fair. She's cool.

Page 8

Miran's mom: Miki, congratulations on being a representative of your class on the relay race!

Miki: Thanks!

Miran's dad: And you are going to be the anchor? That's awesome--!

Miran's dad: I guess you are like me in terms of athleticism. Your mom is as uncoordinated as they come.

Miran's mom: Hey now!

Miki: What about your class, Miran? Who's going to be representative?

Miran: ...Don't know yet. We decide tomorrow...

Miki: You are also very fast, Miran. I'm sure you'll become a representative as well!

Miran: Last year you just were one step behind from becoming one, right?

Page 9

Miki: I would be super happy if we sisters were in the race together!!

Miran's Mom: That's right! That would be great!

Miran's Dad: Go get them, Miran!

Page 10

Teacher: Now will take place the competition to decide our representatives for the relay race.

Teacher: The six fastest students, please line up.

Miran [thoughts]: The first three will get to be representatives... Last year I was 4th.

Miran [thoughts]: I just need to place one spot higher...

Miki [memory]: I would be super happy if we sisters were in the race together!!

Teacher: Get in position--

Teacher: Ready--

Sfx: Dash

Page 12

Miki [memory]: I would be super happy if we sisters were in the race together!!

Miran's Mom[memory]: That's right! That would be great!

Miran's Dad[memory]: Go get them, Miran!

Boy 1 [memory]: Whaaa--- Is this really Miki's little sister?

Boy 2 [memory]: This is incredible, you two look nothing alike. Are you even blood-related?

Miran [thoughts]: I just need to place

Miran [thoughts]: One spot higher

Page 13

Miran: Ah...?

Page 14

Miran: ------Eh...?

Page 15

Miran's mom: I deeply apologize!!!

Girl's mom: Enough of apologies. Fortunately, her injuries are minor.

Girl's mom: --However

Girl's mom: I believe it would be best if you thought carefully about the way you are educating Miran-chan.

Girl's mom: This kind of thing is not normal.

Miran's mom: ...Miran...

Miran's mom: Why, why did you do that!!??

Miran: ...

Miran's mom: Do you even realize what you did!?

Page 16

Miran's mom: You got a friend hurt... She was one bad fall away from getting very badly injured.

Miran's mom: What were you thinking!!

Miran: I... wa- wanted to be

Miran: A representative

Miran: In the relay race...

Miran's mom: ...It's our fault for saying that to you. That was our wrong. I'm sorry.

Miran's mom: ...However, Miran

Miran's mom: Hurting someone else to forcefully grab something you want, it's a very cowardly and disgusting thing to do.

Page 17

Miran's mom: Never do that gain.

Miran's mom: Never. Understood?

Miki [imagination]: Miran! Congrats on becoming representative!! I'm so happy we will be running together!!

Miran's mom [imagination]: That's amazing, Miran! You worked so hard!

Miran's dad [imagination]: We will all go to cheer on you in the competition!!

Page 18

Miran: I'm sorry...

Page 19

Student 1: Miran-chan is truly the worst.

Student 2: Right? So scary.

Student 3: Her face is also scary.

Student 1: Her face reflects her heart.

Student 2: True.

Student 3: And yet her sister is so cute and extrordinary.

Page 20

Student: I feel sorry for her sister---

Shoes: *Scum* *The worst*

Shoes: *Die* *Ugly* *Trash*

Page 21

Miran's mom: Miran, are you not going to eat?

Miki: Miran, let's go to school toge-

Paper: I'm the most digusting scummy trash.

Page 22

Miran [thoughts]: Then, one morning several months later.

Miran [thoughts]: I just couldn't get myself out of bed.

Miran [thoughts]: I haven't been to school for a month now… I have truly become a pile of trash...

Miran: ...

Miran [thoughts]: Right. You gotta take out the trash.

Miran [thoughts]: You can't leave it at home.

Page 23

Kifune-sensei: ---Oh my. Could that be Miran-chan!?

Kifune-sensei: It really is Miran-chan!

Kifune-sensei: It's dangerous to lean forward that much! Come on, get quickly back inside!

Miran: ---...

Page 24

Miran [thoughts]: Who...?

Miran's mom: It has been so long, Kifune-sensei. Sorry for calling you on such short notice.

Kifune-sensei: It was no problem, I was free anyways so I was happy to come.

Miran's mom: Miran, are you okay to be up now?

Miran: nods

Miran's mom: This man here is a friend of your grandpa. His name is Kifune-sensei, and he is a composer.

Miran's mom: Although you met him many times before, when your grandpa was alive.

Kifune-sensei: You probably don't remember, you were too young.

Kifune-sensei: But your eyes haven't changed at all, Miran-chan, so I recognized you immediately.

Kifune-sensei: You've gotten so big. How old are you now?

Miran: ...I'm 10.

Kifune-sensei: I see!

Page 25

Kifune-sensei: Miran-chan, are you interested in the koto?

Miran: ...? The koto..?

Miran's mom: Right, it's this. This instrument!

Miran's mom: This instrument is a "koto".

Miran's mom: The granny of a friend of mine just passed away, you see.

Miran's mom: She found this koto when she was orginizing her belongings.

Miran's mom: I thought it would be such a shame to let it go to waste, but I don't know anyone who can play the koto so...

Miran's mom: I called Kifune-sensei to ask him for a bit of advice.

Page 26

Kifune-sensei: I will be testing it out. Miran-chan, if you'd like, do you want to try and play it together?

Miran: Eh?

Miran's mom: Oh, then...

Kifune-sensei: Aah, sorry for taking such a liberty.

Kifune-sensei: I value fate very much. I wonder if it's fate that broght this koto to this house, and it brought me back to meet Miran-chan, who I haven't seen in such a long time.

Kifune-sensei: What do you think?

Miran: ----...

Page 27

Miran: nods...

Miran's mom: !

Kifune-sensei: Ooooh--- will you look at this! What an splendid dragon---

Miran's mom: Dragon?

Kifune-sensei: See, doesn't it look like a dragon? The koto?

Kifune-sensei: Each part, too. They are called "Dragon's tongue", "Dragon's horn", and so on. It's interesting, isn't it?

Page 28

Kifune-sensei: Now, what tone will you show me.

Kifune-sensei [sfx]: Pa--------n

Kifune-sensei: Oh! It resonates so well.

Miran [thoughts]: It sparkles...

Miran's mom: Mira-...

Page 29

Miran [sfx]: Pi---n...

Miran: ...

Miran [Sfx]: Pi----n Pi----n Pi----n

Kifune-sensei: He

Page 30

Kifune-sensei: Miran-chan's sound is

Kifune-sensei: It's such beautiful and delicate sound.

Page 31

Kifune-sensei: It's a sound that I like a lot.

Page 32

Miran: U- Wah. Aaa--

Miran's mom: Miran-?

Kifune-sensei: Oh, oh my!? Wha- what happened!? I was praising you just now, though!?

Miran: Waaah aaaah. Waaahh. hic.

Miran: Waaaaaaaaaaah. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah. Waaaaaaaaaaaa.

Page 33

Miki: What!? You're going to start playing the koto, Miran!?

Miran's dad: And under the tutelage of Kifune-sensei!?

Miran's mom: Yeah. Miran's condition has improved a lot, so she can begin any time now.

Miran's mom: We also decided to keep that koto at home so Miran can play it.

Miki: That's so nice, Miran!! I'm so happy!!

Miran: !

Miki: I hope you get well soon now!!

Page 34

Miran[thoughts]: Ever since then, I went frequently to Kifune-sensei's house to practice.

Miran[thoughts]: Playing the koto was complicated but, so fun. So fun.

Miran[thoughts]: So much fun.

Miran[thoughts]: It I had any time, I played it.

Page 36

Miran[thoughts]: It's fine if I'm not cute. Even If I'm stupid, or trash. Even if I have no place at school.

Miran[thoughts]: The moment I remembered I had the koto, I became strong.

Miran[thoughts]: So

Miran[thoughts]: I said farewell to the past me.

Miran[thoughts]: Or so I thought

Page 36

Miran[thoughts]: Until I reached High School, and met him.
