Our Meal for Tomorrow

Hey you

Sorry to interrupt your melancholy thoughts but I need to check if you're alright with something

With what?

Hayama-kun it looks like you'll have to do the rice sack jump. That's alright with you right?

Rice sack jump?

There's the Miracle Relay right?

It means you'll be doing the 3rd leg

All the other categories have already been decided too

So you'll agree?

OK! Hayama-kun it is!

Eh? Hayama?

Come on get in

Eh? Why are we...

Why you ask? No offense but you have this gloomy air around you

So nobody really wants to be paired up with you

Since I'm in charge of sports the only option was to pair myself with you

Right let's try this for a bit

Alright let's do this

One two

AH!

Hey we're not gonna move forward if we don't jump at the same time

So we're gonna have to be in sync

Yea

Right here we go

Properly jump forward this time OK?

Yea

Three GO!

Eh ah! Uwa!

That hurts..

Hey hey....what do you think you're doing?

I wasn't ready yet...

So it's MY fault?

~Our Meal for Tomorrow~

You're always reading books with dead people in them aren't you?

Yea I guess you're right. I do

Ah this is the second time right? Reading 'Kaze Tachinu'?

You're right

You like it?

No it's not like that

You say it's not like that even though you're reading it for the second time?

I've been reading the library books in order and I've just come back to where I started

Hee

One two!

Ah sorry

Ouch

Get ready...

Right

Hey I've got an idea

What is it?

Well I was wondering if we should switch positions

I mean I've got more strength than you do

And look

The person in the front contributes most to how far they jump forward

You're right!

That's amazing!

I never thought you'd be so hyped for the rice sack jump Hayama-kun

One two!

This is great!

We're really going forward!

Somehow it felt like our breathing were kinda in sync just now right?

Yea

Here

Really?

Yea take it

You know I always pick POCARI

Don't you feel like just by seeing this blue label you're rehydrated and your ion gets replenished? Like instantly re-energized?

Yea I get what you mean

It was on a day like this...

What was?

The day my brother died

Oh right

Wait you knew?

Of course! We live in the same area and we went to the same junior high

Right we did

But

I never thought..

I never even imagined I'd be losing someone so close to me

And to think...

My brother was only in his second year of high school

Even though he said he wanted to become a firefighter in the future with so much spark

Even at the hospital he

Hey is this gonna take long?

Eh?

You see..

This seems like a topic I need to be fully attentive to listen to...

Sorry. I'll listen next time

I'm also participating in the Senbatsu Relay so I gotta go practice

No matter when it'd be a waste if you don't eat

Tomorrow it might be your turn

Eat!

Drink!

Death will arrive at everyone's doorstep

Sad aren't I?

What do you mean sad?

I mean I'm only 17

You know I still have a lot of things I wanted to do

What?

I tried looking and it turns out there were a lot at home

So I brought like 30 of them

Like I said what is this?

This? Novels with stories where people die

Ah don't hold back. I meant to bring them to Book Off at first

My grandpa liked them

People die in each of them

Is that so...

Furthermore Asami Mitsuhiko isn't even a detective but she keeps encountering murders

Unfortunate don't you think?

Regardless she always gets back up and lives strong

Actually she seems to intentionally poke her head into places where people are likely to die

We could learn a thing or two from her

If you think about it there seems to be a lot of people with integrity in this world

[T/N:
Couldn't quite catch this; I improvised LOL]

I mean look at Detective Conan

Even though he comes across so much death he's never daunted by it

And he is but a grade schooler

But Conan's actually a high schooler inside...

Ah teacher's here

Oh crap crap crap

Sorry!

Good morning

Good morning

Up next the 3rd years' Miracle Relay on the track field

Putting all their thoughts of the 3 years they spent in high school they've practiced to this day

Everyone please cheer them on with all you've got!

On your mark!

Get set!

[Gunshot]

Piggyback on beams. Green in 1st place Blue in 2nd Red in 3rd Yellow FIGHT!

Contestants seem to be rather frantic passing on to the 2nd leg

Red in last place

Green has a huge lead on the three-legged jumping rope

Blue in 2nd place followed by Yellow

Hayama-kun you're being too nervous

The only person who is this tense about Miracle Relay is you you know?

Red in last place! Do they have a chance to turn the tables around on the rice sack jump?

In junior high

"If I work hard my brother can be saved"

I really held on to that rather childish thought

If I hadn't done that it felt like it would be too much

We leave it to you!

We're jumping so hold on tight!

Understood!

One two!

[Sync Breathing]

Hayama over here!

Two teams neck to neck for the finish line after that 3rd leg now

Alright! One two!

Red Team catching up! And they did it!

Hey we got 1st place!

You're right

We did it

CongratulationsIt's Red Team's victory!

Hayama-kun

You were cool back there you know

Somehow I got rather desperate back there

You said to hold on tight

I thought the only people who says something like that were people with sunglasses on their motorcycles

But it turns out people wearing rice sacks say it too don't they

Oh right! I'd decided!

On what?

That if we come in first place on the Miracle Relay

I would confess

To whom?

"To whom"? You of course!

With this flow of conversation wouldn't it be weird if I were to confess to someone else?

Eh?

Me?

Does it bother you?

No it's not that

But why me?

"Why"?

Because Hayama-kun you always do things properly

Me? Proper?

When you're being melancholic

When you're jumping with the rice sack

Hayama-kun you always do things properly

That's why I like you

So will you go out with me?

Eh?

Um...

Uemura!

Um

This

I read them

Um all of them

Hayama-kun this is the first time you've said my name

Eh? Really?

You seem surprised

By the way I gave those to you

I see

But still

If you've got no use for them you can take them to Book Off

Didn't I tell you?

Now that you say that you did

This must be unpleasant for you Hayama-kun

Eh?

Having to talk to me

It must be troubling you to have to talk to the person whose confession you rejected

No it's nothing like that

Sure it is!

To start with you were never exactly good at conversations so doing something like this is odd

See ya!

[Distant chatter and laughter]

happenened and

In 1920 the New Japan Women's Association was formed

With that women demanded suffrage

In other words they asked for the right to vote and participate in elections

As well as for the abolition of the Public Order and Police Law of 1900

Putting together this flow of things....

I was wondering why you didn't show up
