The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Page #2

---

Now, take it easy.

She'll be right down.

Makoto!

Auntie!

Auntie Witch!

Am I alive?!

I am alive, right?!

There's nothing strange about me, right?

Hmm...

There's something strange

about your bangs.

That was a time leap.

Time leap?!

- You were about to be hit by a train, right?

- Yeah.

- After being thrown off your bike?

- Yeah!

But when you came to,

you had gone back a few minutes?

- That's right!

- That's what you call a time leap.

- You see, time can never be reversed.

- Never be reversed?

- Time itself doesn't go back.

- Hm.

So what went back in time

was you yourself.

It means you leapt back in time

and returned to the past.

Really?

It's not that unusual.

It happens to a lot of girls

around your age.

No way. No way.

That never happens.

It happened to me.

What? Are you serious?

Like, say you sleep in on a Sunday.

And you think, "I really don't

want to do anything today. " Right?

And before you know it,

it's evening.

It's quite a shock.

You wonder what happened

to your precious Sunday.

I'm talking to you seriously,

so I wish you'd listen seriously.

It's a good thing you're alive.

How about cheering up a bit?

Hey...

Yeah?

- Think you can help me?

- All right.

Show me how you did it.

I can't do that!

I'm sure if you get the hang of it,

you could do it again.

I'm telling you it's not possible!

But you did actually

fly through the air, right, Makoto?

- Like this?

- Yes. Tear that part off.

What was that? An earthquake?

Huh?

No, Sis!

You mustn't!

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

- It's all my fault!

- What?

What's your motive?

Was it because I ate your pudding?

M- Motive?

I don't want you to die, Sis!

I won't die!

- Where are you going?

- To the convenience store!

If you want pudding,

I'll go get it for you.

Never mind that.

- Are you mad at me?

- I'm not mad at you.

- You sure you're not mad at me?

- I'm not, I'm not.

Here goes!

- There!

- Whoa! That was awesome!

There's no way.

How could you leap back in time?

There's no way you can

jump back in time. No way.

At least it's not something I can do.

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right!

Go!

Ow! Ow!

Ow...!

Where am I? Where...

Oh, I'm home.

Please eat by July 12

Please eat by July 12

Pudding...

Please eat by July 12

My pudding's here.

Which means...

It's Tuesday, July 12.

Today is the anniversary of when

standard time was adopted in Japan.

Back in 1886...

There's that pudding.

- I can eat it?

- Isn't it your sister's?

I'm sure she'll be having

a bite out with Kousuke and them.

I can have it then? Yay!

No way! This is mine!

Huh?

Makoto?

You're home?

That hurt...

The pudding!

Where's the pudding?!

It's gone.

- Did you just see that?

- You bet I did.

- Huh? What'd you mean?

- That girl just did an amazing jump.

She did.

And she disappeared

for a second, right?

- What?!

- Why would she disappear?

- Here we go again with your lies.

- It's not a lie. I saw it.

Did I actually just leap?

Delicious!

This is...

This is...

...not a dream.

I can leap.

I can leap through time!

I'm off!

See ya later!

See ya.

- Huh? What time is it?

- Why?

So, as to why today,

July 13, is a "Nice Day"...

G'morning!

- G'morning!

- Huh?

- Good morning!

- Huh?

G'morning.

G'morning!

Huh?

Once again, in the nick of time.

It'd be more refreshing

if you'd just come late.

You're early, Kousuke.

- Did you jerk off properly this morning?

- Stop joking around...

...and try getting up earlier.

What?! Why are you

so early this morning?

Huh?

- Hm?

- Ooh!

I'm all done!

Huh?

Takase...

- Huh?

- Can we switch groups?

Sure, but... Why?

Ow! Ow! Ow!

- It's a fire!

- Don't panic! Shut off the gas!

- Takase, use the fire extinguisher!

- Uh, yeah!

You idiot, Takase!

You're gonna pay!

S- Sorry!

About Chiaki...

I've got other things

on my mind right now.

Huh?

There!

What the...?

A- Are you all right?

Makoto, have you decided...

...on whether you're going with

liberal arts or sciences?

- I think I might study abroad.

- What?! What's that all of a sudden?

You know, like an exchange program.

What are you talking about?

You failed Level 3 English.

Oh, come on.

Time waits for no one.

Hey, Makoto!

Coming!

A melon soda and two colas.

Why are we doing karaoke

instead of playing baseball?

We can play baseball after karaoke.

What kind of jam-packed schedule

is this? I don't want any part in this.

Time waits for no one.

Time waits for no one.

Time waits for no one.

- Hello?

- Your time is up in five minutes.

- Oh, we'll be leaving then.

- Time?

A melon soda and two colas.

Why are we doing karaoke

instead of playing baseball?

Ow!

What're you doing, Makoto?

Nothing! I mean, I just fell.

How could you fall like that?!

I mean, you were just sitting right here...

Who cares?!

I'm gonna keep singing!

Time waits for no one.

Time waits for no one.

Time waits for no one...

- Hello?

- Your time is up in five minutes.

- Oh, then...

- Oh, then we'll be going home...

Not! Ow!

What're you doing, Makoto?

I just fell.

How could you fall like that?!

I mean, you were just sitting right here...

I'm going to keep singing!

I'll do a hundred songs!

Uh, excuse me.

We'll have a melon soda,

a cola, and a ginger ale.

I'm home...

- What's with that voice?

- Singing karaoke.

How long were you singing

for it to get like that?

About ten hours.

Don't be silly.

I'm exhausted.

- What's for dinner?

- Chicken and veggie stew.

What?!

Why don't we do teppanyaki

or something?

We had that two days ago.

- Aww, I want teppanyaki...

- You're complaining a lot.

You could've come home

earlier and helped out.

Ha!

- W-What's the matter?

- Huh? Uh, nothing.

Wow!

This is it!

Thank you so much!

There!

Yes!

Why are you only catching mine?!

- Damn! Damn!

- I'm amazed she can catch like that.

Wham! There! Yeah!

Not again!

How are you able to read my pitches?!

There's nothing

you can hide from me!

There's nothing I can't see through!

I'll beat anyone, every time!

What's she yelling about?

Pastries from A Tes Souhaits.

You've gone all out.

Don't worry about it.

It's my way of saying

thanks for all the advice.

Even if I spend

all my allowance money...

...all I have to do is go

back to my allowance day!

Then I get all the money back!

I can leap around any way I want!

I can sleep in and keep

hitting the snooze button.

I never have to go back

for things I forgot.

And all-you-can-eat deals

don't end in 90 minutes anymore!

Oh, and if you forget to tape

a show or something...

...just ask me and I'll do it.

- Thank goodness.

- Why?

It doesn't seem like you're using

your skill for anything big.

What are you talking about?!

I mean, this time leaping is the best!

I can't get enough of it!

Everyday is just so much fun!

I just can't stop laughing!

Maybe there's someone out there...

...who's having a rough time

because of your good times?
