-pg79- Tale #4 Rain, and what came of it. -pg80- Alpha It was only a small errand, but the weather didn't give me a break. Mm! -pg81- Alpha I'm not gonna make it... -pg83- Ojisan That was close. -pg85- Alpha Sorry to trouble you... Ojisan Don't worry; we got a good hospital. I know the doctor! She's better than some big hospital far away. -pg88- Ojisan Doctor. Doctor She'll be fine soon. The lightning didn't get inside her body. Her hair and skin are burnt a bit, so she'll be in for 2 or 3 days, but that's... It's been a while since I had a robot patient. Ojisan 2 or 3 days...she looked badly injured. Doctor Go on in and talk to her! -pg89- Ojisan Yo! Alpha Ojisan... Ojisan Well...she said you should rest for 3 days. Alpha Yeah...it looks worse than it is. It's only my skin coating... Ojisan...uh... Ojisan What ? Alpha Don't tell Takahiro, ok ? -pg90- Ojisan Sure. But can he come and meet you when you leave ? Alpha Yeah. Ojisan I'll see ya tomorrow -- need anything ? Alpha Mm, if you can...bring some clothes... The kitchen door is open... Ojisan Hmm...yeah, I'll bring something nice. Don't fret yourself. Alpha Thank you... Ojisan Well, look after her good, hear ? Doctor No prob. -pg91- Doctor How're you feelin' ? Alpha Doctor...thank you so much. Doctor No need to thank me; it was all the old man. We'll clean your skin and do the coating tomorrow. It'll be hard to move until that, but otherwise, you're fine. Just rest for today. -pg92- The next day, the first coating was finished. Doctor Oh, dear. Alpha Ah... Doctor It's a little ragged, but don't worry about it.. Alpha Aah... Doctor It's fine. That's only the foundation. -pg93- Doctor The second coating will be soft and smooth. Alpha Oh...will it really ? Doctor I gave you some new hair as well, since it was all burnt... Alpha Eh? Doctor It'll look the same as it used to. I figured you'd hate to have the color change... Alpha Thank goodness. How can I ever thank you ? Doctor Thank the old man! We'll be done tomorrow. You can go home the morning after. -pg94- Alpha Ah... For some reason, I started to cry... Originally my tear ducts were only so I could moisten my eyes... It's sort of like when I play the moon harp alone. This feels different, though... I like this feeling too. -pg95- Homecoming Day. Takahiro Is Alpha ready ? Doctor She's worried about looking good... Ojisan How ya ? Hey! Don't run! Thank you very much. About the bill... Doctor Oh, no, it was my pleasure. She feels like a daughter to me. Besides, you give me gasoline and vegetables. Takahiro Alpha, let's go! -pg95- Takahiro Al... Alpha Aah! Takahiro D-did you change your hairstyle ? Alpha N-NO! Ojisan Woah! Look at it! Alpha Eeee... Doctor Your new hair will be a little lively till you get it trained. Alpha H-how long will it do this ? -pg96- Doctor Hm...about a week. Alpha A WEEK ? Again, I cried; I don't like this feeling at all. -pg97- Alpha Ojisan...um...thank you... Ojisan Ah, nah, it was nothin'. If you have ta thank someone, thank the doctor. Alpha I haven't anything to give you two, except for coffee. Ojisan Never you mind; it was nothin'. It's like doing something for family. -pg98- Alpha Oh, my! Ojisan What, what ? Crying again ? Alpha I'm so happy... Thank... -pg99- Others Wahahahahaha! Alpha Eeee... Tale #4: Closing
