The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Page #5

---

And I'm late, to boot! Aww!

Makoto! The peaches!

The peaches!

Huh?

Oh, boy...

And for the headlock!

Ha!

Huh? What was that?

Amazing...

- Don't look. Just carry on!

- Huh?

You guys need to move!

Year 1 Class 2

Year 1 Class 2

Kaho!

Huh?

I don't exactly know why...

...but she wants you to come

down to the courtyard.

Who does?

Where are we going?!

What're you going to make me do?!

- You'll know when we get there!

- Makoto!

Later!

Okay! Okay! You got me!

Is this what she meant by

"come to the courtyard"?

Who knows?

- Go there!

- Uh, wha...?

That was close!

Ow, ow...!

What the hell are you

guys doing?!

- You're hurting me.

- Huh?

Ah! Oh, no!

- Can you get up?

- Yeah.

Oh!

- You might've sprained it.

- Oh, I'm fine. It's okay.

- It's not okay!

- K-Kousuke!

- Put your hand over my shoulder.

- I-I'm sorry...

- What do you think of this development?

- This could be...

This could be something!

All right!

I sure feel like I did something good!

Oh, what a happy feeling this is!

Hm?

It's changed again!

Ten? What does "10" mean?

Hm?

One?

No one's here.

Maybe I'm too early.

There he is...

Um, excuse me!

I have a question for you!

Yuri!

I was wondering who it was.

Why...?

I brought the notebooks up for you.

I think you forgot

you had duties today.

Oh! That's right!

I figured as much.

I hope you appreciate our

friendship here.

So, what's your question?

Oh, uh, it's nothing!

Fine.

- Hey, Yuri...

- Hm?

Did you see anyone

on your way up here?

Like who?

Uh, never mind.

All right.

Mailbox:
I think I was just

asked out. I bet you're envious!

Mailbox:
I think I was just asked out. I bet you're

envious! From Kousuke... "I think I was just asked out. "

Mailbox:
I'm borrowing your bike.

- Tsuda Huh?

Oh, please... Who do

you think set it up for you?

I'm borrowing your bike.

- Tsuda

Don't tell me...

Ma...

Ko...

To... There.

Where do you live?

In the south district,

on the other side of the station.

We should probably

go by the hospital.

- What?

- My place is close by.

Makoto, come to think of it...

I passed by a guy on my way here...

It was Chiaki.

Kousuke!

He went home.

Holding hands with that first year girl.

It's gone!

Hey, Kousuke!

Yeah, it's me. Hey, Dad,

I've got a sprain. Think you can fix it?

Oh, it's not me.

Yeah, right away.

I'm sorry.

Please leave a message

after the beep.

Damn!

What should I do?

Should I go back in time?

But it's not like

anything's happened yet.

Huh?

Hm?

Uh, um... Was there

a bike accident here?

No. I don't think so.

Thank you.

An accident, she says. How scary.

Kousuke? Where are you now?

Kousuke?

Chiaki.

Kousuke's over at his place.

You guys didn't show up at the field!

- Sorry.

- I'll be waiting.

- Hey, you know...

- Huh?

I've been wanting to ask you

something for a while now.

Do you have fun playing

baseball with me?

- What're you talking about?

- I like playing baseball with you.

For someone who likes baseball,

you sure don't improve much.

Well, all you've got is enthusiasm.

Better than having none.

What are you laughing about?

It feels like I'm talking to you

for the first time in a while.

What're you talking about?

We've been talking all day.

Oh, right. I guess.

- You miss me that much?

- W-What're you talking about, stupid?!

Just kidding! Come on!

Actually, there's something

I wanted to ask you as well.

What's that?

It's a really stupid question.

Well, what is it?

- Well...

- Come on. Spit it out.

Have you been time leaping?

You've been time leaping,

haven't you?

Hey, Makoto...

Makoto!

Actually, there's something

I wanted to ask you as well.

It's a really stupid question.

- Well...

- H-Hang on a second!

- Huh?

- Let's talk about my little sister.

- Huh? Why?

- You see, my sister is really stupid...!

Hold on, I was about to...

Never mind. I'll be waiting then.

How does Chiaki know...?

Hm?

Z ero? So these numbers did

represent the number of times...

...I could time leap.

I sure wasted my last one

on something lame.

Oh, well. I guess it's okay,

seeing that Kousuke's all right.

Hey, Makoto!

I need to borrow this a bit longer!

Wait, Kousuke!

Kousu...!

Hey! Watch where you're going!

Apologize now! Hey!

Look!

Stop, Kousuke! Kousuke!

Kousuke!

Stop!

Kousuke! Kousuke!

Kousuke!

Kousuke!

Ah!

H- Hey! Is she all right?

- She's really badly injured!

- Call an ambulance!

How did she end up like this?

Can she move?

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Huh?

What? Huh?!

W- What's going on?

I knew it was you.

Chiaki!

What are you doing here?

Where's Kousuke?

- Probably still at home.

- What? But he was just here...

Did you do this?!

You can time leap too, Chiaki?!

Would you laugh at me

if I said I come from the future?

In my time...

...a device is developed which

allows one to freely travel in time.

This is it here.

You use it to charge your body.

I was able to come to this era

thanks to this.

But without me realizing it,

I had lost it somewhere along the way.

I panicked.

I looked everywhere and

I eventually found it.

In the science lab.

Although it was already all used up.

But I'm relieved it was

charged to an idiot.

I had trouble sleeping with fear that

it'd be used for something evil.

W- Why?

Just because...

Just because?

Because there was a painting

that I desperately wanted to see.

No matter how far it was...

...and whatever sort of place it was at.

"White Plum and Two Camellias" This painting is temporarily unavailable for

display due to restoration. Tokyo Metropolitan Museum No matter how dangerous...

"White Plum and Two Camellias" This painting is temporarily

unavailable for display due to restoration. Tokyo Metropolitan Museum

It was a painting I had to see.

By my time, it had already

been destroyed.

And before these times,

its whereabouts were unknown.

The only place where there was

an accurate record of it...

...was in this present time,

in this place, in this season.

You would be satisfied

just to see it?

All I needed was to see it.

I was never going to forget

it for the rest of my life.

But I guess there's no point to it now.

To anything.

Huh?

You can't go back?!

What do you mean by that?!

Like I said, I can't go back

to my time.

So, why is that?!

When I went to steal away your bike

that Kousuke was supposed to be...

...riding, the amount that had been

charged up in me was used up.

W- What're you going to do?!

I'm not doing anything.

Why would you use it up?!

Didn't you think to save it?!

I did save it.

You may not know this...

...but Kousuke and that girl

did die once at that crossing.

A certain someone I know was

sobbing and blaming herself for it...

...so this was the only thing I could do.

I was supposed to go home, but it

turned into summer before I knew it.

Being with you guys was

just too much fun.

I saw a river flow across

the land for the first time.
