Chapter 1: Act 4: Scene 2


 * Oyuka: "Kayo-san! It's awful, just awful!!"
 * Panicking/Hurrying, Oyuka rushed over to Kayo's tailor shop saying that.
 * At the time, Kayo was repairing a kimono. She was sewing together holes in the red kimono.
 * Without stopping her hands or looking away from the needle, Kayo answered Oyuka.
 * Kayo: "What happened, Oyuka-san? Why're you in such a panick/hurry?"
 * Oyuka: "[No idea what this is]. The lady of the Miroku shop at the bottom of the hill has been killed!"
 * For the first time, Kayo stopped and raised her head to Oyuka.
 * Kayo: "...... Oh my, whatever happened?"
 * Yes, that's what she quietly murmurred.
 * Oyuka: "The story is some bandit or [someone who kills a passer-by to test a new sword] did it in the middle of the street last night."
 * Kayo: "Is that so......"
 * Oyuka: "So frightening. Even though Enbizaka's finally bounced back from that fire, people're now being slain."
 * Oyuka said this while sitting herself on the tatami.
 * Oyuka: "The Miroku shop's lady was famous for being a hard worker. On her way back from working 'til late yesterday...... apparently. Ah, no, no, we can't even calmly walk the streets at night after this."
 * Kayo: "Is that sooo......"
 * Oyuka: "Kayo-san. You were aquainted with that woman, yes? Um...... you don't seem too concerned about it?"
 * Kayo: "...... Huh?"
 * Kayo gave her an astonished look.
 * Oyuka: " What do you mean "Huh?"...... didn't you say the Miroku shop lady was always requesting you to do work for her?"
 * Seeing Kayo's expression, Oyuka also made an astonished face.
 * Kayo: "Aquaintance...... no, not at all. I'm not aquainted with anyone at the Miroku shop."
 * Since Kayo finally said that, Oyuka seemed taken aback.
 * Oyuka: "Kayo-san...... what are you saying......"
 * Kayo: "Perhaps that was the case if you say it was, Oyuka-san...... but, I'm sorry. My memory before the fire is actually a little iffy......"
 * Oyuka: "Ah...... that's right......"
 * Oyuka apparently remembered that Kayo was convinced her son and husband were alive. She was probably convinced of that, unaware Kayo had met Miku and Rin after returning to Enbizaka.
 * The narrator suggests Oyuka didn't want to talk about the subject any further and subsequentally got up and started putting on her footwear.
 * Oyuka: "Well then, be careful, Kayo-san. The killer might still be on the prowl."
 * Kayo: "I'll keep that in mind, Oyuka-san."
 * Oyuka: "Ah, well then, see you."
 * Oyuka then turned away from Kayo and left the tailor shop.
 * After she no longer saw her, Kayo resumed her work.
 * She closed the holes in the kimono one by one with the same red thread as the clothing.
 * The scene of Kayo repairing a kimono wasn't an uncommon thing.
 * She was a woman who was always diligently doing her work so seriously.
 * --But, what she was doing this time wasn't a request for work.
 * The owner of this red kimono had disappeared from this world just last night.
 * [Space]
 * Kayo was resewing was the kimono Mei had been wearing.
