Translator: sayapapaya Editor/Timer: sarcasstik

You should never be competitive.

Fighting doesn't solve anything.

That's what God teaches us.

If you are struck from the right, smile and turn the other cheek.

This again??

He could at least bring us something different once in awhile...

How many more minutes??

Just wait a little more.

Someone's coming.

I wish he'd give us money instead.

I want mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise again?

No, don't!

No way could he give us money. I heard the priest is in major debt!

Really?

Of course not.

How many more minutes??

Someone's coming.

Huh?

Are you all listening?

Yeees.

Are you really?

We are, so please hurry and finish.

Alright.

You all have gone through hardships and have lost your families.

Now you are living at this home with "strangers."

You are undergoing the ultimate test.

I hope that you can use our Heavenly Father's voice as support to continue living on...

Yes?

I felt something.

What?

Is it your psychic senses again?

Psychic senses?

Yea. Someone's coming.

Here? Who?

A child... a little boy!

Oh really?

Maybe you'll be expecting a new friend soon then?

Yup!

Hello, hello Mr. Turtle...

Hello there Mr. Turtle...

There's no one in the world...

Who's faster than you...

What makes you so fast...?

Shit.

Damn...it's stuck!

Are you serious?

I hope they don't expect me to pay for damages.

I don't understand a damn word you just said!

Who do you think you are, some bus driver?!

Hold it right there!

Ouch!

Why me?

What the...?

Hey!

Are you okay?

Are you serious?!

What should I do...

I hate kids...

Give me a break!

OW!!

What a cute house!

And look at the flowers!

It's a little far from town, but it's really nice!

Definitely.

Shall we go in?

Oh!

Are you Kusama Shuhei-kun?

Yes.

I'm glad you made it. It was a long walk from the station, huh?

Not at all.

Oh! Come on in!

Please excuse me.

Pleased to meet you.

Come in, come in.

Here are his belongings...

I'll take care of them.

We wanted to make proper arrangements for him...

Shall I leave?

What?

You all must have something important to discuss.

That's very considerate of you.

I'm just used to it, that's all.

I'll show him to his room!

This is the cafeteria.

The bathroom is over there.

If you have any questions, just ask the other children when they come home from school.

It's not very big is it?

Really?

Before those foster parents, I lived in an orphanage that housed 100 children.

Right now we have 12 kids.

We're more like a family.

Although I've only been here for 3 months.

Let's be friends, okay?

Yes...so where is my room?

Oh, sorry!

I'll just clean up a little bit...

You'll be sharing this room with a high school boy.

Alright.

This is your desk.

Alright.

Discuss cleaning duties and time for lights out with your roommate.

Um, may I change my clothes first?

I don't think I can remember so much at one time.

Oh, sorry! Okay, take your time!

When we first took him in, we were amazed at how well mannered he was.

However, even after half a year, he would not warm up to us.

We felt that it could not continue like that...

Well, it's not so easy for a child to warm up to an adult...

Yes, we understand that, but he continues to talk to us politely, not at all like a child...

It's as if he's observing us from afar.

We only found out after he started living with us ...

That his former foster parents had given him up after 3 months also...

Is he just a pet to you?

Excuse me?

Can I come in?

I'll see your undies!

You wanted a child, so you adopted one, but he wasn't what you expected.

So you're returning him like you would return a puppy to a pet store.

Enchou (principal)...

We adopted him out of the goodness of our hearts!

You don't have the right to say this to us.

Out of generosity? You were being generous??

Dad!

I'm sorry...have you seen Shuhei-kun??

Is the new boy coming today?

He might be there already.

I was right!

I put the ticket in...

Sorry sir, could you come over here?

What's wrong with it?

You need to pay 20 yen more.

I think I have 20 yen...

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Excuse me. Could I borrow some money, please?

From me?

Please?

For what?

My mother's in the hospital, and I wanted to go visit her...

But I forgot my wallet at home.

Then go back and get it.

I'll miss the train, and I won't make it in time for visiting hours.

I promise I'll return it!

How much?

1,000 yen should be enough...

...Like I really would, stupid!

What?

You think you can fool me with that act?

Don't underestimate us adults!

Please wait a minute!

It's true that I lied about forgetting my wallet at home.

But my mother really is sick.

My parents are divorced, but my father doesn't pay child support...

My, my, isn't that terrible...

Please! I promise I'll repay you!

Go away! I hate kids.

He's nowhere around the house!

Do you have any idea where he might be?

Are you saying this is our fault?

That's not what I meant. But you've lived with him...

Is this all our fault?!

I got it.

This is Kaze no Oka (Windy Hill) Home.

Hello?

Hello??

It's me.

Who was that?

I dunno!

What?

They didn't say a word.

I can't believe he just hung up.

What did you hang up for?

What if it was Shuhei-kun?

Hello? This is Kaze no Oka Home.

Hello?

Hello? Shuhei-kun?

Hellooo?? It's me, Jiro.

What?

Where are you right now? In Rome?

No, well actually...

Sorry, can we talk later?

Ok, thanks.

I'm sorry, it was nothing important.

I'll go check the train station.

I'll go by the riverside.

Um...this really isn't our fault, right?

It is not your fault at all. We are responsible for everything.

So please just go home.

We didn't mean that we wanted to leave..!

Just go home!

I'll come with you.

I'm sorry, I should have...

Don't worry, we'll find him.

He'll be waiting for us somewhere.

Waiting?

He's just testing us to see whether we'd come looking for him or not.

He wants to know how worried we would be about him.
