partita without memory

<EYECATCH>

<ED>

caprice over the break

Dream...

I wonder when it was that I realized this is a dream.

A long long time ago? Or only a few minutes ago?

Even the answer fades away into the dream...

In this world that I'm not sure if time is flowing or not...

...as I dream about waking up...

So cold...

So heavy...

Welcome home!

Did you get the oden ingredients?

Such a big oden ingredient.

Huh?

This looks like food to you?

Wow what a big ingredient for oden.

Really we don't need that kind of a gag.

So what's the story behind her?

I was walking she came flailing at me and she fainted.

You're summarizing too much.

I don't understand at all.

But... that's really all there was to it.

In any case we need to wake her up.

It's already dark out and I'm sure her parents must be worried.

You're right.

Hey wake up!

Hey! Time for food!

Food?!

Where?

Where?!

Where~

Who are you people?

That's what we want to know.

Itadakimasu!

She must have been hungry.

Hey now... How about acting a little more reserved?

Don't worry. It makes me happy that she eats a lot.

Seconds.

Yup.

So who are you?

I actually don't know.

Huh?

I forgot who I am.

One of those amnesia things.

Kinda cool isn't it?

Ow!

What'd I get hit for?

Don't tell such an obvious lie.

Answer honestly.

It's the truth!

If you have amnesia then how do you remember me?

Having a grudge against you is the one thing I remember.

But I don't remember anything else.

There are no amnesias that work conveniently like that!

You've got one here so what can you do about it?

Mine!

I saved that kinchaku for last.

You little! Wait!

No way!

Instead of what you'd expect to find in a girl's wallet it looks like she's been gathering cast offs and using them.

It's my stuff so I can have whatever I want.

Ah pictures.

You don't have friends?

Leave me alone. I took that after I lost my memories.

What drove you to take a picture like this all by yourself?

Because girls about the same age as me were all taking them.

So what do you plan to do now?

Until I get my memory back I'm staying here.

Nayuki go call the police.

Police?

Why?

Isn't it obvious?

It's the job of the police to take custody of girls without a place to go.

No wait I don't want that.

Police are scary.

Besides you've got a grudge against me right?

Would someone like that really want to stay with a person she hates?

But you're the only clue I have.

Clue?

Yuuichi is?

I've forgotten many things but there is one thing that I remember.

It came to me the moment I saw his face...

...that I hate him.

What an annoying clue you've got.

What's that for?!

Looking at your face started to make me feel annoyed again.

There's no mistake; you are the one.

Either way we can't let a dangerous person like you stay here!

Negative! Out!

Auu~

Then let's ask Mom if she can stay here or not.

Wait if you ask her you can just see her approving it.

Approved.

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yaaaay~

Look she approved it in one second.

Since Mom says it's all right you can stay here.

If she is with Yuuichi-san she might remember something.

Let's see how it goes for a while.

You can use that room as you wish.

Yup.

Yaaay!

Aren't you happy?

She said I can use it as I wish!

As I wish! As I wish! Yay yay!

Oh boy.

Yuuichi-san.

Tomorrow I'll ask the police if there are any notices for a missing girl.

That way we may find out who she is.

I think it's less trouble to just take her there.

Since she doesn't want us to let's not.

She may have a reason too.

Well now that you will be living here we need you to at least remember what your name is.

Yup. Otherwise we don't know what to call you.

Name...

Auu~ I can't remember.

Okay then I'll come up with a temporary name for you.

Satsumura Kyouko!

This is your name.

Why?!

Note: 村 (mura) and 子 (ko) are commonly used in last and first names respectively. 殺 (satsu) means kill and 凶 (kyou) means bad neither are ever used in names.

I don't want that kind of name!

It's perfect for your barbaric character!

I'm not barbaric!

It's not convincing to hear that when you have that evil grin on!

Now now. I'm sure she'll remember it soon.

How can you and Akiko-san be so easygoing?

Just you watch! I'll work on remembering my TOOOOOOOO-TALLY cute name.

The name won't become any cuter by working hard on it.

Will too.

Will not!

Will too!

Will not!

Auu~

That wasn't enough.

Is there anything I can eat?

Let's see...

Chance.

These all look like I have to cook them first.

Auu~

Lucky!

AUU!

Something! Something! Something! Something! Something! Something!

Something! NO! Something! Something! Something!

NO!

Oh shit.

Auu~?

Big oden ingredient.

Enough of that gag.

It's so late; you'll bother the neighborhood.

Auu~ I thought I was gonna die from shock.

I was only hungry.

You were chowing down on all that food!

You even stole my share!

I didn't steal it.

That was just snatching.

It's the same thing!

I'll make you something. Bear with it for a bit.

Yup.

Why did it turn out like this?

How is it?

It's good.

Eating at this late hour sure feels strange.

An amnesia girl eh?

I don't know the details but she hates you right?

Maybe you had an intimate relationship with her in the past?

Moron.

I used to come to this city when I was around ten years old.

But it's true I don't remember anything from those days...

Did something happen between us seven years ago?

I'm in trouble. The pace here is faster than my old school's.

I'll show you my notes later.

Thanks.

Snow eh?

Hey Aizawa.

What?

There's a person.

She's...

She's been standing there for a while now.

Someone you know?

Nope.

Yuuichi aren't we going to the cafeteria?

Sorry I'll be right back!

Did she leave?

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I saw you and since you're not a student I came to check up on you.

Oh I see.

Sorry to trouble you.

But you're a little wrong.

I'm not an outsider.

I'm a student at this school.

Then why were you standing here during the class?

I'm absent for the day.

You mean you're ditching class?

I'm not ditching class.

I'm not in good health so I've been absent from school for a while.

I have never been very strong physically

and recently it's been getting worse.

I'm not sure if it's right for me to ask such a question but what sickness do you have?

It's... a cold.

Huh?

I caught a fever.

It's been carrying on for some time now.

What's the matter?

No I was expecting a much more complicated name to come out.

In that case acute nasopharyngitis.

It's the same thing.

Today I snuck out to meet someone.

I'll be scolded if people find me at school when I'm supposed to be absent.

You're meeting that person here?

No I actually do not know much about that person either.

I do not know the person's name year or class.

You've met the person before though right?

Yes I have.

What kind of person is it? A guy? A girl?

That's a secret.

You've got a common cold right? Shouldn't you be in bed?

No. From all the rest I got I'm feeling well today.

"All the rest" you say but it was winter break until the day before yesterday.

Plus you were out shopping yesterday as well.

Come to think of it that's true.

I'll go home now.

Weren't you going to meet someone?

It is all right today.

I'm sorry to make you attend to me.

Really. Thanks to you I haven't had lunch yet.

I do not like people who say things like that.

Now excuse me.

Yeah take care.

Yes.

Hey!

Yes?

I'm Aizawa Yuuichi!

My name is Shiori!

What about your last name?

Looks like the snow's stopped.

You liar.

Sorry.

You're so mean Yuuichi.

I had something complicated come up.

I was waiting the whole time.

You could have eaten with Kaori and Kitagawa.

I'm really sorry; I'll treat you to something next time.

Really?

Nothing expensive.

Like sushi or sushi or sushi.

What should I ask for?

Ahaha~ You're the person we bumped into yesterday right?

Did anywhere start hurting after that?

No I'm fine.

We were fine too.

Right Mai?

Yea.

Excuse us.

Mai do you want to stop by somewhere?

I'm going home.

I have to return a book to the library.

Then I'll follow.

They stand out.

She's a senior Kurata Sayuri-san.

She's very smart.

The other person is Kawasumi Mai-san.

Kurata Sayuri and Kawasumi Mai eh?

I'll head to practice now.

Yeah good luck with it.

Yup.

Yuuichi-kun!

I knew it was you!

I'm so happy.

Stop laughing.

Get off!

Uguu~ Yuuichi-kun threw me away.
