Tamayura: Hitotose

It hasn't even been half a year since we moved here,

but it feels like various things around me are moving steadily.

Chihiro-chan has come to visit me here.

I've also become friends with Kao-chan and everyone else.

It's like time has begun to move again for me.

Ah, it's Kao-chan.

Hello?

Ah, Potte, is now a good time?

Yeah! What's up?

About the fireworks display...

Norie and Maon were asking whether we should wear yukatas.

Are you good with that?

Uh... I don't have a yukata though...

Is that so?

Yeah.

There might be one that fits you among my sister's old ones. Should I ask her about it?

Thanks.

But I'll be fine not wearing one, so you can just wear yours, Kao-chan!

Actually, the yukata I wore last year probably won't fit me anymore, so I'll be asking my sister anyway.

I'll just ask her about lending you one too.

Okay!

Later!

Okay, bye!

Yukata, huh...

And sometimes, when something you thought you've already lost a long time ago suddenly appears before you,

you really can't help but be surprised.

natsu no nokori ame ni

I watched your back as you ran

eki made hashitteta kimi no ushirosugata

in the remainder of the summer rain to the train station.

hansode no seifuku awatete oikaketa

I frantically chased after your short-sleeved uniform

matsuge ni mizutama hajikete

And water droplets sprinkled against my eyelashes

sekaijuu no yasashii mono

Kind people all throughout the world

utsukushii iro wo shitteta

knew about these beautiful colors.

demo sekai ha shiranakatta ano koro

But the world didn't know about that time

okaerinasai

Welcome back home

omoide ni

Back to your memories

nakitai toki aitai toki

The times you want to cry, the times you miss people

koko ni iru yo

they're all here

okaerinasai

Welcome back home

watashitachi ga yumemita mono aishita mono

Everything we saw in our dreams, everything we loved

ima mo kimi wo mamotteru yo

Even now, all of them are protecting you.

「A Memory of a Warm Breeze」

「A Memory of a Warm Breeze」

Kou-chan! Dad! We're over here!

Fuu-chan! Yaho~

Ah! We'll go buy some buttered potatoes!

Fuu-nyon?

Chihiro-chan!

Your yukata's really cute!

My grandmother made it for me!

So nice! I wanna wear one too!

Mom, if I ask Grandma, do you think she'll make one for me?

I think she will.

Yay!

Why don't you ask her on our next visit?

Then I want to wear it on next year's Takehara fireworks display!

Note: Takehara is Fuu's father's hometown. This is where they're living now.

And then, and then! Come with us there too, Chihiro-chan!

Really?! I'd love to go!

I'd love to wear a yukata and go there together with Fuu-nyon!

I'd love to! I'd love to!

Let's go! Let's go!

Grandma, do you think the yukata will be done in time for the fireworks display?

Yes, it'll be done by then.

Oh, so I'll be able to watch the fireworks and wear a yukata with Potte this year!

I'm looking forward to it~!

Me too~!

It's a warm breeze!

A warm breeze?

Yeah. Dad said that it would be nice if the yukata's design was like a warm breeze!

Weird, right?

A warm breeze, huh...

But shortly after that, dad went to heaven,

and our plans about yukatas and fireworks all died out.

Note: Yokosuka is the city where Fuu and family lived before moving to Takehara.

I stopped going to fireworks displays in Yokosuka as well.

Now that I think about it, I didn't get to fulfill my promise with Chihiro-chan as well.

An e-mail?

It's from Chihiro-chan!

Eh... what's this?

Ah, wait- ah... Huh?!

Ah, Fuu-nyon!

Hello, Fuu-nyon? Sorry! I made a mistake and sent the image by itself.

Ah, it's fine! That cactus was cute!

Ah, that was Cacitush.

Cacitush...?

Yup! I saw him as a prize for a lottery in the festival.

I thought it was really cute and got excited, so I tried my best with Tomo-chan to win it!

Tomo-chan?

Ah, Tomo-chan is that classmate I told you about last time.

Oh, so you tried talking to her!

Yeah! When I went to buy a belt, she happened to be there too,

so that time, I gathered my resolve and talked to her!

I see! That's really great!

Yes. It's all thanks to you guys, Fuu-nyon.

We're in the festival wearing yukatas right now!

That's amazing! Aggressive~!

We also made a promise to go to Yokosuka's fireworks display together next year!

Fuu-nyon, do you think you'll be able to come with us then?

You never went again since that day.

Every year, when I watch the fireworks, I keep thinking that I wished you were there too...

So... what do you think?

Yeah...

You're right. I want to go!

I want to go with you guys!

Ahh, really?

Yup!

I'm so happy!

I'm so...

Ah! Chihiro-chan, are you okay?

Yeah! I'm fine!

Well then! 'Til next time!

I've made a new promise with Chihiro-chan.

It really does feel like various things are beginning to move!

Yukata... It's impossible this year but maybe I'll ask grandma to make me one for next year.

Fuu-chan! It seems grandpa's in the cafe right now!

Tamayura

Your cooking is as good as always, Tamae-san!

Father, would you like to have a second serving?

I'd be very glad to!

Grandpa, welcome!

Welcome!

We would've come to meet you if we knew you were coming!

Nah, it's been a while so I wanted to stroll around town.

Do you always bring that camera around with you, Fuu?

Yup! This way I can take a picture whenever I want to.

Kazuma was like that as well.

Oh, dad too?

Yes. At the time he bought it, he brought it around with him when he went shopping.

But it seems he found it difficult and things didn't go well so he was complaining about it.

Oh right, I brought that thing you said you wanted to see last time.

Rice cookies?

Home-made Rice Cookies

Home-made Rice Cookies

Ah! These are my failed photos which Dad kept!

That's right.

These are the photos I failed and got disappointed about.

But Dad told me they weren't failures and kept them as if they were treasures.

They're now Grandpa's treasures,

so I asked him to show them to me sometime.

Huh? Grandpa, what's this film?

Oh, that's a roll Kazuma took, but he didn't have it developed.

Dad...

Yes. That was when he just bought that camera. He said he didn't get to take the photos properly

and he left it undeveloped to save on the developing fee, so that's now left here.

Dad's failed photos...

Grandpa, can I have this? I want to try having it developed.

Sure, why not?

I wonder what's on this film.

I want to see them soon.

This is kinda' exciting!

Blurry pictures are so much fun!

In those photos, you can see both the Fuu who tried her best in taking them properly

and the Fuu who felt down about failing to do so.

That's why for Kazuma, they are treasures.

And for me, I see the Kazuma who treasured and kept these photos as well.

What's this? Fireworks?

Yup.

Grandpa, you'll still be staying here on the day of the fireworks display, right?
