Episode 474: Come Back (Sho)

My first school attendance since I came back to Earth.

It was kind of fresh.

... I've been having too much conversation with Lil on the app and I'm going to be late for school than usual though.

Well... sometimes I think back a lot just today... the club is over and I'm back at home about 2 1/2 minutes walk from the station.

"I'm home, Mother"

"Welcome back! Uh... is it good in a while? How was school and club?"

"Hmm... you had a lot going on. I'll talk to you over dinner."

"Right. I can do it in about 15 minutes. Dad's home today, so let's eat together."

Dad's home a little early today.

That's true, before I went to anasm, it was reported as the biggest incident where dreams and beautiful flowers kept dying. Maybe he came home early because he didn't have it.

Convenient. I wanted to talk to you about something.

"Whoa, I'm gonna leave my stuff for a second, then."

I'm upstairs in my own room, and I'm gonna do a school run.

Except when I take the road trip home to wash it, my school judo department is good to leave, so it's at school.

... Nevertheless... I wasn't halfway through today's judo moves.

My advisor's teacher (a.k.a. Golissen) was surprised.

After all, my physical skills have been carried over to this world.

I hate it when it doesn't seem like it's some kind of strength...

I'm not saying that my efforts to go so far have been wasted... and maybe I don't need to disgust you that much.

No, what will the club do when Lil comes?

Will Lil be in Judo too?

Or is that your manager?

Ha ha another club... no, maybe it's possible to go straight home.

It's about Lil, 'cause you're going home with the show!' Something like that is going to add up time in some way.

Something like this is happily waiting for Lil to talk to me about me.

Oh, my God, when did Lil become the one who had to be there for me?

I miss you too much. I miss you when Lil is next door and I can't hear you say 'wahoo' or anything.

That's funny stuff.

Really, at first, I just helped because I feel sorry for you - and yet I can't believe you have this emotion.

I can't believe Lil forgot me when he died and fell madly in love with me... at first, before he confessed... no, I never thought about it until he started walking with me.

Maybe now... you miss Lil, too?

It feels kind of awesome to see you right away in anasm.

Oh, dreams and flowers are like this for each other, too - I guess.

In the end, maybe I didn't know it was love.

That reaction of two weeks after Miho's dream died may have been seemingly unusual and normal.

Ha, yeah.

Today's school was all about those two starting dating.

It's only a matter of time before it spreads all over the school in an instant.

Oh, my God, those two are famous (because they're cute) enough to have quite a few hidden fans even though they're not entertainers.

The junior (man) who was trying to confess to a bee and a dream within the Judo ministry was pitiful...... was there? I feel like I've been floating around saying something about a lily.

I don't deny anything that looks like a lily.

But he was unusually snuggly at school, and even if he looked like a lily, he might be noticed by his teacher one day.

"It's rice!

"" Ooh!

My father and I replied almost simultaneously.

Something's wrong with my mother in the kitchen... I feel that way.

I was hungry, so I hurried down to the living room on the first floor, and I just went to the table.

My father's here for dinner today, so it's a pot.

Kimchi pan.

By the way, my father is not a pot servant against his appearance.

"How was it, it's been a long time since school"

That's what my father asks me as I turn around the kimchi pan.

My mother seems to care the same.

"Hey... something. It was always the same. It's just judo, because you've been through a lot in the other world, and you're not half as good as you are."

"... Sho, you, but even though they say it's the strongest thing in this town, what are you gonna do when you're stronger than that? Want to win Interhigh again?

"Ha, Mother! Guys get stronger and numb!

"So is that."

No, I'm the strongest guy in this town, and if I took control of dozens of Yankees who came to our high school to beat me up by themselves, he just happened to be the strongest guy in the area, and I got that title (pushed?).

By the way, I had nothing to blame, especially from the police, because I held them all up with my bare hands and only a few beatings.

On the other hand, the other guy had a nail bat or something, and those Yankees were softer.

"Anyway, well, I guess strong enough to say that having dreams and beautiful flowers started dating became a soggy topic. Speaking of other unusual things."

"I heard, you're so lovely."

"It got to my ear, too."

Ha... ha...

Anyway, isn't it already spreading around the area that my dad's already in his mother's ear?

"... by the way, when is your girlfriend, Lil, coming?

That's what my mother said.

Whoa, I was asking when to shake Lil's topic, but I didn't expect her to tell me.

All right, let's take it from here to the topic of Norway.

Actually, he's already here.

"Well, can I see you soon?"

"No... it'll take at least a few weeks. We're a long way from here."

"Heh... you know where he is?

I'll answer your mother's question after she swallows the cabbage.

"Norway."

""... Huh?
