Be with You Page #2

No, you're not

You're a neat and tidy person.

Y~you were just...

Sick in bed for a while so...

Right?

Huh?

Yeah.

I see.

But still.

This is too much.

That's right It is, isn't it?

What was I doing

in that forest?

Huh?

Well...

We were taking a walk.

The three of us.

A walk?

A walk.

In the middle of that,

since we were tired...

We were taking a small break.

Yeah, we were taking a break.

And during that time...

I think you lost your memory.

Yeah, I think

that's what happened.

Right?

Oh...

Right.

You're cute.

Yuji?

Yeah.

I am Mio.

Your wife and Yuji's mother.

Yes.

Yes.

I see.

Breakfast is ready.

Amazing!

Is it?

Here you go.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Daddy.

Yeah?

It's been a long time since I've

had a fried egg made this well!

Yeah, it has.

It's a little strange.

No, it's not that.

Huh?

You guys.

No, it's not that.

I'll be back later.

See you later.

Mio.

Yes?

Don't you think it would

be wise not to go out?

What if the same thing

happens as last time?

OK.

Then... I'll be back later.

Your shoe string...

Huh?

See you later.

Takumi.

I'll be back.

Teacher!

Good morning.

Something incredible happened!

It was amazing! Yesterday, I mean...

What is it?

Ah... I can't tell.

What's that?

Nothing happened.

It did! It did!

But I can't say...

I'm jealous that

you have a secret.

It's a good thing... A secret.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Did something good happen?

Yes.

What is it?

It's nothing much.

Oh really?

Do it like this.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's delicious!

Really?

It's great.

Oh really?

Yeah.

Am I good at cooking?

Excellent.

I see.

Is this me?

Yeah.

Then this?

Takumi.

Then I'll use pink...

He's cute.

He's your child.

That's so...

I gave birth to him.

Yeah.

We were a couple. You and I.

That's right.

I don't know why but

I feel like I'll remember...

That I'm part of a family

with you and that it's true.

But...

I'm sorry...

I still don't remember...

Anything...

You can do it slowly.

Tell me about us.

About us?

Yes.

How we met each other...

How we fell in love...

And how we lived.

We first met in the spring

of our junior year in high school.

Then are you saying

we were classmates?

That's right.

I was the one who liked you.

Yeah, for two years we

were in the same class.

Coincidentally, we always...

Sat next to each other.

You were bright,

cheerful, cute...

And had good grades

like a model student.

But...

How should I put it...

You always had a part of you that

was distant and hard to approach...

And a defensive aura.

I liked that.

Yeah, I liked you.

I didn't like you?

I think it was

a one-sided love.

A one-sided love?

Yeah.

Because I was just

an average guy.

After quitting the track team, I

had no interest in anything around me.

I also never

liked someone before.

I was dejected.

And because I was

always an outsider.

I see.

Were you a good runner?

Yes. I even set records

in the prefecture.

But at a competition

during freshman year...

After that, because

I felt cheated...

I trained myself

to death every day.

I became a crazed guy who only

thought...

About sprinting all the time.

I see.

You had...

No reason to like

a guy like that.

No. You didn't even seem...

To like other guys either.

You didn't...

Seem to have any

interest in love.

But...

I liked that about you.

I was...

Happy to have even

just a seat next to you.

And so other than

exchanging greetings...

Good morning.

Hello.

We graduated without ever

talking to each other once.

Through a recommendation...

I was accepted into a

university close to Tokyo.

You... Went to Tokyo University.

Thank you.

Sign mine.

Sure.

Here.

Sure.

Here.

Thank you.

Sure...

And with that...

You left for Tokyo.

Hold on a second.

So when does our love begin?

Can you hold out just a little

longer and listen a bit more?

OK.

During the first summer

break of college...

I overheard where you

were working by chance.

Hello?

Ah... Still not yet...

It'll come soon

There's only a little left.

OK.

Hello?

My name is Takumi...

This is Takumi.

Do you remember me?

Yes.

I'm sorry that I'm

calling so suddenly but...

Well, I never got back from you...

The pen I used to sign your

book on our graduation day.

Would you return it?

Of course it was a lie.

Yes. It's a very precious pen.

It was a meaningless pen but...

- I really need it back.

- Just for one last time...

I wanted to see you.

Just one more time.

Takumi.

Here.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Such a precious pen...

No problem.

Thanks.

It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Yeah.

Right...

Well then...

Well then...

Hey...

Do you have time to

drink a cup of coffee?

I do.

I think...

That I had a lot of courage.

But it was real.

That memorable first date...

Finally came true

after 2 and a half years.

I was really trembling.

And then? And then?

How should I put it?

I kept on rambling like a blabbermouth.

I couldn't let myself stop.

If I stopped,

I thought you would leave.

Because I was afraid of that...

I spoke about many things.

Music I liked...

The plot of a book I had

read recently and even...

That I had always

kept an eye on you.

Takumi.

Yeah?

I'm cold.

If it's fine with you,

you can put your hand in here.

Then...

Excuse me for doing this.

Can I see you again?

Unless I can get

time off again...

But...

I'll write a letter.

Sure.

That's how we began.

You and I.

I'd like it if...

You could be a little

like you were back then.

I want to feel what it felt like

to like each other once more.

OK.

Thanks.

Mommy, I'm done!

Dry me off.

Yuji, wash yourself up.

Excuse me...

Yes?

You just sighed and smiled

a moment ago, right?

Yes.

Did you meet someone beautiful?

Yes.

Eat up without spilling.

See, I tell you all the time.

You spilled too, Takumi.

Huh?

Hey, Aya.

Yeah?

You can't tell anyone.

This is a deep secret.

OK.

(Word game involving

the last syllables)

Yuji, don't forget to

take your umbrella.

OK.

Mio.

Yeah?

Do you think it'll

be a boy or a girl?

A cute baby boy.

I look so happy.

Pardon?

You believe it?

You don't believe...

This is problematic.

You're not the type

of person to lie.

And I was the one who

pronounced the girl dead.

You do not have to believe.

I'm sorry. Please forget it.

Don't worry about it.

I'm sorry.

However...

if it's possible that

what you say is true...

Yes?

Then when the rainy season

ends...

Mio will disappear.

Don't you think?

Yes.

That is likely what

would happen, right?

Probably...

Because Mio doesn't lie.

"When the rainy season ends,

it is time for me to leave..."

She said that.

Yuji.

Yes!

Why is it that no one...

Comes over to visit?

You're not going to go

anywhere, are you Mommy?

I'm not going anywhere.

Dummy.

What is this key?

A time capsule

You and I hid it...

Somewhere Daddy doesn't know.

I see.

It's for a time capsule.
