Alpha

Speaking of Takahiro...
I don't think he mentioned your fish to me.

Ayase

She's gotta be the girl he told me about...

-pg69-

Alpha

Please do be sure to come by my shop.
I'll ask Takahiro as well...uhhh...it is a bit far, but...

Ayase

.....

Alpha

It's about 20km, actually.
If you'd prefer, this does seat two...we could ride together.

Ayase

.....
I think I'll pass for now...
Yeah, no place to stay, and I won't find shelter quick out here...

-pg70-

Alpha

You could stay overnight with Takahiro...
Hmmm...or maybe at my place...

Ayase

You aren't cautious at all, are you?

Alpha

Hunh?

Ayase

(Hunh? is bad...)
Nah...I'm sure we'll bump into each other again sometime.
I'm around Kamakura a lot.

Alpha

Awww....okay....

-pg71-

Ayase

Not leavin'?

Alpha

No; if I'm not in the way...
I'll stay till you head home.

Ayase

Oh...

Alpha

You said something earlier about waiting for something?

Ayase

Yeah, it'll be here soon.

-pg72-

Ayase

You know the airplane?

Alpha

Hunh?
Aeroplane...

Ayase

It's still around.

Alpha

Those fly overhead with a vrooom and a wooosh!
They come ocaaaaasionally.

Ayase

(Vrooom and wooosh?)
Yeah, well, a really strange one'll be through soon.
Watch for it.

Alpha

(Ooh...)

Ayase

In about ten minutes, I'd say.

-pg73-

Ayase

Here it comes.

Alpha

The birds?

Ayase

Higher! It's blue...

-pg76-

Alpha

No sound at all...

Ayase

It's prolly flying higher than they normally do.

Alpha

.....It's pretty.

Ayase

I've heard that they've passed over here before.

Alpha

.....

-pg77-

Ayase

I think it's called a Tarpon.

Alpha

(Tarpon?)
Strange name...
I wonder if there are people on it...

Ayase

Yeah...
I guess there probably are.
Flying all the time.

-pg80-

Alpha

Uh, thank you very much.

Ayase

Hmm? What for?

Alpha

Nothing.

Ayase

......
(Ah, just her personality...)

-pg81-

Ayase

------see ya.

Alpha

Please come by my shop next time.

-pg82-

Alpha

All kinds of people.
People who fly all the time.
People who walk all the time.
(whoosh)
