True Tears (トゥルー　ティアーズ)

Inside of me... you've always been crying.

"I want to wipe your tears away" is what I think.

But... I do not know what your soft, warm face will look like after the tears are wiped away.

Argh, it didn't come out the way I wanted!

I really want to draw a more gentle smile...

What are you doing?

It seems that there weren't enough people to do this work.

I see...

You aren't going to eat?

Once I'm done with this.

Ah, I see.

"Ah, I see"... What am I saying?!

What am I doing trying to look cool?!

Umm, Bo-chan?

Err... I'm stretching, stretching...

Stretching.

Stretching... that's good.

Where's Dad?

Looks like he's still at work.

How's that girl?

Working on the records.

If she doesn't help me finish it, I won't have time to take care of the dishes.

Well, you shouldn't be saying that. After all, she's helping you with chores.

So you're also on her side.

That's not how it is.

I don't want to hear it.

Damn, what's with that?

"An angel exists somewhere..."

"Only if we could save up your tears,"

"And then, make a necklace out of them..."

"We could hang it on the tree."

"The tree of tears is shining..."

I'm leaving!

What's wrong? Is that all you can do?

Just who came up with pull-ups?

Woah! Hiromi, you're unbelievable!

You guys are slow! You're already a lap behind me.

Where did all that energy come from?

Well, we have different ways of working out.

You are insane!

I'm going on ahead!

Shinichirou, you damn pervert!

Stop it, Nobuse!

You look just like an old man

with your eyes focusing right at the girls' white legs.

Hiromi, you alright?

That's your fault. She's tripped over your eyesight, which was focused on her legs.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Yuasa-san sure is nice!

She really seems like a top-student, you know.

Well even so, she's not all that proud of herself. Just perfect, isn't she?

Now ain't you an idiot? You're living with her.

If I were you,

I would take advantage of living with her, and peek at her changing.

And have her say "kya! pervert!"

I'll pass that to Ai-chan.

Well then, later.

What's with that? You're so cold...

Wait a minute...

Jeez...

Hey you, over there!

Don't look at me without permission.

I- I wasn't really...

Hey, you!

Is there something else you want?!

I can't get down.

So you were picking food for the chickens?

This food came from the sky.

From the... sky...

This child wants to fly into the sky.

But he's locked in such a place.

I pitied him.

So I got food for him from the highest places.

Huh?

A chicken that wants to fly into the sky?

Are you not letting that one eat?

That's because that one doesn't want to fly.

How do you know these things?

I just know.

And you are the one on that side.

Eh? Huh?

You don't want to fly.

Wait a minute! What do you know about someone like me, who has only talked to you once?

You spit, right?

Well, I think I know what's going on.

It seems like you might be able to fly.

Yes.

Since your head seems quite empty.

May bad fortune befall you!

Oh, that Isurugi Noe from Class A, huh?

Never seen her before.

She transferred in last year.

She's quite cute, but...

There are some scary rumors about her.

Scary...?

For example, it's said that she exchanges e-mails with a person who lives underground

Or that she can summon a pink elephant when she whistles.

That's nonsense.

No, wait. Since it's her...

Did something happen?

She cursed me.

Well, that's bad.

What?

If Isurugi Noe calls out her Secret special disaster move, you're no match for her!

After she said "I hope it shrinks" to someone, it turns out it really did!

Oh, Bo-chan.

Do you need the Chief for something?

Err, well, not really.

After someone dad knew died last year,

Their daughter, Hiromi, was adopted by my family.

We've been in the same class since elementary school.

I was surprised.

Hiromi has always been cheerful...

And because her smiling face interested me.

Because it interested me...

Welcome home.

I'm home.

I'm home.

"May bad fortune befall you"...

Come on,

If you keep sighing, you'll be hit with bad luck.
