The Land of Rain Trees Page #4

---

That's why you asked me

how my voice before, right?

I considerably can hear

your voice easily in quiet places.

However, I often

encounter situations where

I hear multiple sounds.

But I can't just

hear them by concentrate

listening to others speaking.

You must feel

lonely, right? You can only

nod along with it.

Good work today.

I wish I could live

by myself just like you.

How so?

A life where I

only depend on myself.

It took considerably amount

of hardship to live by myself.

Your dad's doing fine right?

Did something

happen to your dad?

He collapsed because of illness.

I can't even meet him anymore.

I asked something I shouldn't.

I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

By having met with you personally,

we're talking lots of things, right?

Say, why don't we try a "rehab date"?

I wanted to be there when it's necessary,

and let me worry about things you need.

Because you're the girl I like.

Hitomi-san, you said normal

hearing people can't understand it.

That's one-sided opinion.

Please don't say that I'm

a person who likes to sympathize others.

You must feel lonely, right?

You can only nod along with it.

Say, it's not a bad idea to thread

our relationship again, right?

So?

Still no reply from her ?

Yeah.

- Listen to me, Sakisaka.

- Okay.

There's a time...

- a man need to give up...

- Eh?!

I want to meet you.

Yeah!!!

Senpai, look!!

- Wow, that's great!

- Yeah!

Wait, you wanted

to say something right?

What I wanted to say is...

there's no word "give up"

in man's dictionary!

Roger!

Fairy Game - 1st Volume

Fairy Game - 2nd Volume

What are you looking for?

It's been a while.

Yes, it has been.

I was worried if today was raining again.

Luckily, today's good day.

There's no need for umbrellas.

Please, lower your voice for a bit.

What?

Please speak with your normal voice.

Nevertheless, I still can't

define what I hear or not.

Ah, my bad.

I should've understand it,

even you already explained it to me.

- There are things I...

- Don't cover your mouth!

If I can't see your mouth's movement

then I can't read your lips.

You're trying to be supportive.

But I ended up hurting you.

Well, even though you properly

explained to me, I'm still useless am I?

It's embarrassing right?

You told me to not

using loud voice.

But I did use it before, right?

At the appointed place, you were standing

before Fairy Game bookshelves, weren't you?

That's right.

At that moment,

I really liked how you look.

Thank you.

Okay, it's time to go.

This time we've got a good movie.

- Glad we're doing "revenge date".

- Sure we are!

We should talk this over lunch.

But it's right on lunch break time.

All places must've been occupied.

It's not a place where

you can get tasteful lunch though.

How about karaoke box?

Karaoke box?

- Yes, surprisingly it's...

- Sakisaka-kun!

It's really coincidence!

How are you?

- I'm good.

- Me too.

I'm on hibernation since

you scolded me last time.

Wow, you don't have

to say it now.

How do you do?

I'm Misako.

I was rude back then.

I'm sorry.

Why so abruptly?

I've been wanting to

say sorry next time we meet.

I've contemplated properly.

You said "I'm not a Mynah or Parrot".

It hit me really hard,

also I know I was very rude.

Period!

You should change

your way of talking.

Let's meet again, shall we.

Sorry, I made you wait.

- I choose hot dog...

- She's such a strange girl.

I didn't know you can use

karaoke box for eating place.

It's a good deal.

It's soundproof room.

We can talk easily since we're

not using this as singing room.

I see.

Here.

These are my company's new products.

Try to eat these.

Your company?

So, your workplace is

making these kind of product.

I'll give you my business card.

- It's at Shinagawa right?

- Yeah.

What kind of work you do?

I'm doing administration

work at travel agency.

I'm employed under disability system.

I see.

That's why I feel alienated.

Why?

It's true I'm doing normal job...

but even when I'm finally employed...

things happen.

But I can't complain.

Companies with disability system

aren't just merely doing volunteering job.

There are laws you must abide.

Also companies get various benefits from it.

You're already hired, right?

There's no need for you to bottle it up.

It doesn't have to be only me.

When you're talking to others,

it's better to just let it out.

Thanks.

But, the person I can

talk casually most with...

is none other than you, Shin-san.

How about when

you were in college?

Did your friends

understand your condition?

Yes, they did.

But, things like when I ordering food.

I had to properly explained it.

How about your social relationship?

Here and there, with fellow woman.

All they want are benefits

from company's salary.

Don't mind those

good-for-nothing people.

Outta my way!

You okay?

It's hurt.

Stop you prick!

You know what you just did?

What?

What the hell is it?

You just pushed a girl

who's got hearing impairment!

Stop it.

So you can push PwD

around because they're nuisance?

Why can't you

just simply ask them?!

You want us compensate you?

How much do you want?

You sunnava...!

- Stop it!

- Why should I?!

These guy hurt you!

They don't even sorry a bit!

There's no point.

Come on.

Please, stop it!

Please don't speak about my ears

condition in front of many people!

I just wanted them

to learn of what they did.

Did you also want to punish them?

You got hurt, and you

still acting like being-good girl?!

It's useless!

Those people before...

they said harsh things

because they didn't know.

Or should I explain it to you?

PwD are nothing but hindrance.

"This girl...

she's hearing impaired".

You normal people, can only

see us with pity!

What's with that "you normal people"?

Don't think you're

the only one who's suffering!

I told you about

my father before, right?

You mean he's gone?

No, that's not it.

My father collapsed because brain tumour.

He undergo surgical operation.

Was it successful surgery?

Yes it was.

But it was accompanied

by an unexpected complication.

After the surgery was over,

he finally woke up...

Husband!

It's you, my wife?

Dad, you're finally wake up.

Koichi.

Yes, that's me.

Thank you for your care.

You're helper-san, right?

What're you saying?

It's Nobuyuki!

Your second son, Nobuyuki!

It's been 3 years since then.

And he still thinks that

I'm his attendant caregiver.

Even until now?

Yeah.

Even after rehab

he still doesn't know me.

He's still can't recognize me

even after telling our family history.

I have to keep resilient.

I'm not using your condition

as pretext to comfort my problem.

You're always saying

I can't understand this and that.

This predicament

is also a burden for me.

I wanna get back

with my father.

But in his mind he

remembers all his family but me.

That's my reality.

I'm free to push my

circumstances to you right?

Just like you push

yours onto mine.
