Chapter 1: Act 3: Scene 6


 * The next day, Kayo went to the draper store the Miroku Shop.


 * She was indebted to Mei and wanted to give her proper thanks.
 * While passing through the Miroku Shop, a girl was demurely sitting there.
 * Kayo: "Are you all right, Ojou-san?"
 * Rmembering Perrier's anger when she said the same thing, Kayo was a little nervous, but she really did seem like a proper "ojou-san" this time.
 * The girl bluntly replied.
 * Rin: "Mother and Father aren't here today. Nee-chan's on a date."
 * She was also one of Mei's daughters apparently.
 * Kayo asked for her name and the girl responded while hanging out her fieet.
 * Rin: "I'm Rin. Housesitting today. But I can't do any work requests. I don't know the prices so no selling kimono either."
 * I thought there was no point in her house sitting then.
 * Perhaps Kayo thought the same but she just smiled and laughed.
 * Kayo: "Well then, Rin-chan, you waiting here for your family?"
 * Rin: "Sure."
 * Then Kayo made a very lonely face, I remember well.
 * Without seeing Kayo's expression, Rin went out and said the following.
 * Rin: "But...... I feel I'm not just waiting for Father, Mother, and Nee-chan, you see?"
 * Kayo: "Hmm?"
 * Rin: "Not just today either. Yesterday, the day before that, and even long before that--since the time I was born. I've been waiting...... though for who, I don't know."
 * The girl was saying strange things.
 * Kayo: "Yes, it'd be great to see him. Whoever you're waiting for."
 * I don't know what Kayo was thinking but she answered without losing her smile.
 * Rin: "Yup!...... Are you waiting for someone too, Onee-san?"
 * Kayo: "...... Why would you think that?"
 * Rin: "Somehow, I get that feeling from your face."
 * The moment she mentioned her face, Kayo remembered the burns and swiftly turned away from Rin so suddenly.
 * Rin: "..... I said something rude, didn't I? If so, I'm sorry."
 * Rin looked at Kayo apologetically.
 * Kayo: "No, that's not it..... you see, I'm also waiting...... but."
 * Rin: "....."
 * Kayo: "The people I'm waiting for...... won't be coming back ever again......"
 * Kayo told Rin afterward that she'd visit the shop again and left.
