Kidnap Tour Page #2

---

We shall have breakfast without

attracting much attention...

And set off to a hideout to return the car.

Eh? Didn't you receive the car?

Who are you returning it to?

Could it be... an accomplice?

I don't really care but...

can't you do something about

that messy hair of yours?

It's embarrassing to be seen with you.

- Hey, kidnapper.

- Shh!

How long are you going to

mess around? Kidnapper.

Don't tell me the hideout

is in the mountains?

What's with this fishing pond shop?

A kidnapper's accomplice...

should be at a closed-down factory

or a dark basement, right...?

In the first place,

how long do we have to wait?

Eh? What? What was that?

This person looks scary.

Well, those should be enough.

Send the photos to Kyoko.

With a letter saying that her daughter is fine.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kanbayashi.

You're Haru-san, right?

Eh? That's his character?

What was that? Treating me like an adult.

Why are you getting nervous?

You shouldn't be saying,

"You're Haru-san, right?"

You're really funny.

Oh, I see. I see. During a time like this...

Do you want to have juice?

Somehow, he's kind...

Oh? What's wrong? Haru. Does your stomach hurt?

- Or do you want to go to the toilet? Toilet!

- Shut up!

Hey, hey. Don't lose your nerve.

- Shall I drive you to the the station?

- Yes, thank you.

Haru-san, actually...

I have met you before.

Eh?

When you weren't even able to crawl.

I bought some hard cookies as gifts and

was laughed at by everyone as it was

still too early for you to eat them.

There's no way Haru could remember that.

You certainly bought the cookies.

It's the cookies incident.

I wonder if Mom is worried?

Haru-san.

Thanks to your father,

I'm alive today.

Hey, here you go.

Well then, thanks for everything.

When you're in trouble,

please come and look for me anytime.

Hey, come on. Hurry up.

The train is going to leave soon.

Bye.

Ah... jeez!

Ah!

Somehow, I seem to remember...

Everyone was laughing.

I can't remember exactly where it was but...

Somehow, it felt warm.

Hey! Haru! Hurry up!

It's leaving! It's going to leave!

Dash dash dash! Dash! Dash!

Alright! Ah... that was close.

Kanbayashi is my friend from school.

He's a strange one, isn't he?

He used to be a salaried worker

but many things happened...

- Many things?

- Hmm... I can't find the right words.

Many things happen when you're an adult.

In any case, because of that, he quit his job

and is currently running a fishing

pond house in the mountains.

There aren't any kids around him so

he didn't know how to talk to you, I guess.

Don't change the subject, kidnapper...

Because you talked too much,

those warm feelings of mine have flown away.

Here it is! The kaki-peanut!

Haru. Haru.

Oh? Wait... last one. Last one.

I'm throwing it.

Can you do that?

Where are you bringing me

this time, kidnapper?

Thank you very much.

Could it be... the sea?

Your Dad thinks this is good too.

I mean... hey you, this isn't fair at all.

Suddenly calling me out...

it gave me a shock.

Couldn't you at least contact me earlier?

Eh? I won't tell you where.

As I said, you have to agree to my requests...

- That manjuu was good~

- As expected, it's really different.

- Right?

- It was good, right? Mama.

- Papa even ate 3 of them.

- So many?

It can't be helped. There are

delicious-looking manjuu in front of me.

That's why you're getting fat~

- Mama... my stomach hurts.

- Eh?

That's why I told you you shouldn't

eat so many sweets.

Are you an idiot?

What are you staring at?

- My poop is going to come out.

- You can hold it in until you reach the toilet.

Jeez, Kazu. You're noisy.

Why do you always get in the way?

It's fine, isn't it?

That's proof that he's alive.

- That's true but can you really hold it in?

- Can you?

- Don't poop in your pants.

- Tell me before that happens.

It'll be troublesome if that happens.

Are you alright? Can you go?

What's with that look in your eyes?

Did you think...

I'm envious of that family?

What a simple-minded person.

How nice. Everyone's going to the sea together.

I'm envious. They get along so well.

On the other hand, I've been kidnapped.

What a big difference.

You're right. It's a huge difference.

After all, you're alone with your kidnapper.

Oh? Are you angry again?

The sea! The sea!

Ah!

Hey, you. This is the sea. It's not an izakaya.

[T/N:
Izakaya = a type of informal Japanese gastropub]

Ah, the girl from just now.

- What's your name?

- Haru.

Hmm... I'm Chizu. It's a strange name, isn't it?

My brother's Kazu. What grade are you?

- I'm in 5th grade.

- Same as me. Where's your room?

The Maple Room.

Mine's the Camellia Room.

How long will you be here?

Two more days, I guess.

I'm going back tomorrow evening.

I dislike it... We're going back by car.

It's very cramped.

Kazu will cry while Mom will be

in a bad mood immediately.

Just by hearing the word "toilet",

she'll get angry.

Is the person with you just now your Dad?

No. He's just a relative. My uncle.

My parents are busy.

During the summer, they're unable

to bring me anywhere.

That's why I was placed in the care of my uncle.

Hmm... that happens often.

Haru, are your parents close?

Yes, they are.

When they don't have work, they go

out on dates and leave me alone.

Though they're old enough to know better.

Eh... any siblings?

I have a very kind elder sister.

She has middle school entrance exams next year

so she's staying at home to study.

I want to go to the same middle school as her but

I'm not really good at studying.

Oh, I see. You're not good at studying.

Eh? Ah... yes. Yes.

You see, I'm good at studying.

I've always been the top in class.

That's amazing.

Thank goodness...

There's something I'm better than you at.

Haru-chan, your parents are close

while mine have a terrible relationship.

Eh?

Haru, have you ever seen a

divorce registration paper before?

- No.

- I have seen one...

Thrown away in a ball into the trash bin.

I may dislike Kazu but if

something happens at home,

Kazu is still young so...

I have to do something about it.

That's what I think.

I will protect Kazu.

Chi-chan! It's about time

we go to the hot spring!

Eh?

- Let's go.

- Yes...

You'll be here for 2 more days, right?

Let's exchange addresses tomorrow.

- Yeah.

- Bye. See you tomorrow!

Your Dad and Kazu are waiting for us.

I'm sorry, Chizu.

The truth is my parents have

a terrible relationship too.

It will be great if we can

talk a lot more tomorrow.

I know about the money.

That's why you should listen to my opinion too.

Isn't it strange to push your

opinion on me all the time?

At this rate, I can't release Haru.

Haru, we're going to leave.

Eh? Why? Let's go to the sea again today.

I want to swim more.

Let's stay for one more day.

We have to go to other places.

Enough with the sea.

No. I want to swim more.

Didn't you say you'll bring me

to the places that I like?

I said this place is fine

so let's stay here longer.
