My Little Sweet Pea Page #4

Um, I'm Koiwa Mugiko

She's Mugiko-chan!

Applause, everyone!

Mugiko-chan~~ Mugiko-chan~~~

Your mother sang on this stage long ago

She sang "Red Sweet Pea", right?

Yes, that's the one

It was pretty amazing

I was a fan of hers as well

Having you up on the stage now

it makes me feel like I've gone back in time

Since we've time traveled

Do you think we could have you sing us "Red Sweet Pea"?

Could we?

No way, I can't

I can't! I really can't!

Everyone's excited to hear you!

I really can't

Will it be alright?

It looks like they can play the song

Alright, everyone

Let's all go back in time together!

Do your best!

It's true..

What should I do..

Mugi-chan, do your best!

I really can't do this

What should I..

I don't know it, what should I..

I really hated that

I want to die

It's fine, everyone was happy

They were just laughing

Nah, they were really pleased

It was really the worst

It seemed fine to me

I hated it..

It's alright

Hello

What's going on, you two?

We met by chance

Lucky you, Senzo, a date with a cute girl

Shut it

Don't be shy about

Shut up, old lady

The festival seems pretty energetic

Yeah, but it was even moreso in the past

There was about twice as many stands

All the young people have been leaving

so the festival is mostly just old people now

Oh, is that so?

I think it was at its busiest when Saiko-chan was singing for us

Oh, old lady

Lend me some money

Why?

I just gave you some this morning

You lost it at pachinko, didn't you?

I didn't

Anyway, lend me some

Why? You won't pay it back even if I do

We're at a festival and I can't even buy anything

Then, would you like this?

I don't need that

What are you doing?

What a waste

So dirty

Forget it

Lets go

Excuse me

See you again

What are you doing?

Let's go

Okay

Thank you

Thank you

So good

Want some?

Aren't parents super annoying?

I think I'll go home

Why?

Sorry

Coming!

You were out quite late so I already ate

Sorry, I went to the festival

Oh

The burial permit should get here in a couple of days

That's great

Yeah

I'll get some food ready

Here you go

Michiru-san

Do you.. not want to see your children?

You heard about it?

I'm sorry

Of course I do

But you won't go?

I think it's better that I don't see them for now

I think you'd understand

We both have our circumstances

I don't really understand

Mugiko-chan!

Yes?

Can I help with something?

Mugiko-chan, are you free?

Yaaaayyyyy~

Imoto-san, you are surprisingly skilled

I come here a lot when I'm free

Do you?

About five times a week

That's basically every day

Yeah, I guess so

Do you not go bowling and such with your boyfriend?

No, I don't

Really now

What kind of person is your boyfriend?

I don't really..

Oh, so you're available right now?

Are you married?

Me? I'm available, too

But being here with you right now reminds me of being here with Saiko-chan

You came here together?

With everyone, as a group

I'm pretty shy

Shy, huh

Did you like her?

Uh, I did like her

But I wasn't the only one

You didn't confess to her, did you?

There's no way I ever could

But..

I did think that I should one time

I, uh.. I ran into her at the train station the day she was leaving for Tokyo

Saiko-chan's parents, they..

they were always against her becoming a singer

She really tried to persuade them

But they would never allow it

She worked up the courage to leave home

Pretty strange luggage, isn't it?

When I was about to leave

I expected my parents to be very angry

But they said to do my best and gave me money

You know we're pretty poor, right?

I told them I didn't need it

They told me to take this and take that

Until my luggage turned into this

I said I didn't need pots and things

But they really made me take them

"You're really bad at waking up,"

"and you won't have anyone to wake you up", they said

And made me take this alarm clock as well

It's truly strange

I just have to do my best

I thought I'd at least let her know how I felt, at the end

But I couldn't do it

I really am shy

Ah, it's your turn

Okay

Mugiko-chan, don't worry about it!

I'll be back again!

Mugiko-chan, don't get so down

You'll get better with practice

You did fine, Mugiko-chan

Michiru-chan can't get over 50 points

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's hilarious

Her form is still like this

About Michiru-san

What?

Nothing, nevermind

What is it?

She has kids, right?

Yeah, she does

I feel bad for her for a lot of reasons

Why is that?

What is there to pity her for?

Uh, well..

Thank you for coming

Welcome

Go ahead

Sorry for calling so suddenly

Mugiko-chan really wanted me to invite you

Did you do something strange to her?

There's no reason to think I would!

You've both drank a lot, haven't you?

She drinks so quickly

We were drunk before we sat down

What's wrong? You don't seem well

Yeah, she's been so tense for a little while

Excuse me, menu please

Coming

Hey, Michiru-san

What is it?

Why don't you see your kids?

You can get to Osaka in a few hours

You could see them any time, so why don't you?

There are..

you know..

There are circumstances

There are, there are

Exactly what kind of circumstances?

Yeah, what kind?

Well.. you know, my ex is still young

He's most likely remarried

If he has..

That would mean the kids have accepted a new mom

So why should I impose?

You've decided that yourself

The kids have nothing to do with it

Did you want your mom to visit you no matter what the circumstances were?

I don't really care about my parents

I see

I'd kind of like you to stop making such a sad face

Why are you acting like the tragic heroine?

I didn't mean to

The reason you can't see them..

You're just inflating the problem

You make sad faces that scream "I want to see them", "It's so hard for me"

You're just shifting the blame and running from the responsibility

You're a capable adult, but acting ridiculous

I guess so

I must be

It's just as you say

Could you stop acting like a decent person?

Did you..

Really never want her to come see you?

You never wanted to see her?

I've never thought it even once

I wasn't even sad when that person died

Do you think your kids want to see you?

It's possible that when you die

They won't shed a single tear for you

Mugiko-chan

You should stop being a child, saying things like that

A child?

I don't think I've said anything wrong

That's what makes you a child

It's fine, Imo-chan

You probably actually wanted to see her

Shouldn't you be a bit more honest?

I really didn't want to see her

Then why treat Michiru-chan like this?

She isn't your mother

Saying to her what you want to say to your mom won't do anything

It's not like that

Mugiko-chan

She's not around anymore

I'm sure things have been hard for you

and you've got a lot of bad memories

You should forgive her

There's only one of her, you know?

She's the only Saiko-chan

Ah

Sorry

I think I'm too drunk

What happened?

Weren't you staying with Michiru-chan?
