Umibe no Étranger (海辺のエトランゼ)

Hey Granny...

Hmm?

Do you know the boy sitting at the bench over there?

Ah, you mean Mio-kun?

He used to come buy our bread

with his mother when he was young.

I'm back.

I'm hungry!

Welcome home.

Where's Suzu-chan?

Not coming, she says her overtime's not ending.

Ah, Eri! Don't...

eat that yet...

Yummy!

Umibe no Étranger

Wait up! Hurry up!

Good morning!

You're the boy who always sits here...

Shun...

Would you get some vegetables from the...

Oh, you're working?

Nope, it's okay.

This is from Granny.

Oh, thank you for everything.

Shun-chan, eat this.

Miyako Cafe

I'm back.

Oh, thanks.

Right away!

Coming!

One curry...

And... Tako rice!

I'll help!

Please.

Okay!

Excuse me. Where's the reception desk for the lodgings?

Oh, right, right...

Please sit here and wait for a moment.

Welcome!

Who ordered draft beer?

Here!

I think we can order drinks.

Coming!

Hey, you! Wait!

This is the shop's leftovers.

Ah, aren't you hungry?

Not really.

Ah!

Right, of course.

I'm sure you have dinner waiting.

Are you giving me that?

Eh?

Ah, sure.

Thank you very much.

Oh no, it's nothing.

Welcome back.

Jeez, it just started pouring out of the blue.

Good job.

Thank you.

Just now, Mio-kun came by.

He says it's thanks for the bread.

He split these from his mother's seedlings.

Oh...

Mio-kun's mother passed away apparently.

It had been always just the two of them and now he's alone.

And he's still only in high school.

I'm sure he's feeling lonely.

Mio...

What do you want for dinner?

Curry.

But we ate that yesterday and the day before.

Anything else?

Eh?

Then, this!

Is today no money day?

Nope, let's eat crab.

Really?

Yeah.

Crab!

Crabrolls...

Thank you for the food!

Crabrolls...

Yummy!

It's yummy, huh?

Yep! I want seconds!

Sure, as much as you want.

Can I sit beside you?

Thanks.

Thank you for the flowers.

Yeah...

Hey, what are you always looking at from here?

Nothing in particular.

Don't you feel lonely being always by yourself?

What?!

Huh? Sorry...

You're the one who is always looking at me!

It's creepy.

Disgusting.

Hey, don't you think Hashimoto sometimes looks like a girl?

Ah, I get you.

Maybe he's gay?

Eww, my seat is right next to his!

God, I might be done for!

Ah, you're awake.

Suzu-chan?

Oh, he's awake?

You collapsed again.

Eh, no way!

I'll take that.

Shun, did something happen?

Nope, nothing.

Suzu-chan too, thanks.

What is it?

It's just that the person that I like happens to be the same gender.

Why is that weird, I wonder...

What is that?

Work...

I heard that you write novels.

Ah, but this is not my manuscript. Just preparation...

Well, it doesn't really matter huh?

I said something mean.

I am sorry.

Huh?

Why are you apologizing?

That was because I...

It's because everyone looks at me with those sympathizing eyes.

Because I don't have a family.

Sadness and loneliness...

That's something only I will understand.

I don't want your pity when you don't even understand.

I thought you were so too...

No!

Ah, well,

I was just interested in you and wanted to try talking to you.

It's just my ulterior motives.

What's with that?

What a dumb excuse. It's like you're hitting on me.

But...

I'm glad...

Shun, what's for dinner?

Huh? Wait!

Oh my?

Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!

Eri?!

There's a pretty boy here again!

What's your business here today?

Eri!

Oh, just the right timing!

Charge!

Shun...

Yeah?

So your name's Shun?

That's right. The one you write with a 'horse' character.

I'm Mio.

Should we go home?

You write it with the word to 'fruit' and 'central'.

Ohh..

We have to go home and make dinner.

Curry!

Sure!

Curry! Curry! Curry!

Shun, you...

Hmm?

You suck at fishing.

Notice: Off Day

Hang on, where's the fish?

Couldn't catch one.

Erm, Shun?

Not even one?

Shut up!

I'm going home.

Huh?! What are you saying?!

You're eating here too!

Eh?

Well then,

thank you for the food!

Thank you for the food.

Mio-kun, you're good at cooking.

Yeah, because I used to help out at home.

I see.

Here, Mio-kun.

Thank you.

This guy here doesn't improve at all.

Just look at this.

Then don't eat it.

Shun was always worried about you.

Eri! Don't say unnecessary stuff!

But it's true!

"I wonder if he eats properly at home."

I'm sorry we're so noisy.

"What about his age?"

I didn't say that! Stop it!

Do you like curry, Mio-kun?

Uh, I like...

Hmm?

How cute!

Oh you! Just shut up and eat!

Look at you, so happy.

Eri!!

Suzu! I want the fried chicken!
