Hanayui no Shou 25-4E

Baby watching - 4

[Hero Club room]

Kar: ...It got really quiet all of a sudden.

Its: Was the clubroom always like this?

Yuu: You know, there are times when I feel scared to fight the Vertexes or don't want to do it...

Yuu: But when I see something small and weak like that baby... It makes me feel that I want to do my best, that I want to protect it.

Gin: Me too... But it's not just because I'm a Hero. The reason I fight is so that my precious family...

Gin: My brothers and friends could spend their days happily without worrying. I fight to create a world where they could do that.

Wak: You're right. And I'm sure this isn't because we're Heroes. Everyone must carry this feeling in their hearts.

Tak: Yeah. We're not fighting just because we have Hero powers.

Tak: We can face the enemies because everyone has something they treasure, love and want to protect no matter what.

Uta: Our souls are always aligned with the souls of the people!

Yuu: Let's keep doing our best together!

SON/Kar/Tam: Yeah!

Chi: Takashima-san, those were some wonderful words...

Tou: Yuuna-chan's words touched me so much, the tears just won't stop flowing...

Sum: I never expected a baby to unite the Heroes so much.

Son: Babies are amazing!

Mit: That baby was so small, but cried so loudly. They were like a bundle of energy.

Sek: It's the mystery of life.

Nat: I should've tried holding it too...

Fuu: Hahaha. I've got a feeling that it's not just our girl power and maternal instincts, the baby might've even boosted our Hero powers!

Gin: Fuu-san, please accept more requests like this one! I can't meet my brothers, so I'm going to take super good care of those kids instead!

Anz: Me too. I want to read a story aloud next to a baby bed.

Its: And I can sing a lullaby.

Tam: Sounds like everyone here would make a great mother in the future. Ahaha!

Hin: Haah...

Wak: Hinata?

Hin: Nogi... Wakata. Nogi... Hinaba... Nogi... Sonoba. How do I connect mine and Wakaba-chan's names to the name Sonoko?

Wak: W-What are you mumbling over there?

Hin: Nogi... Hiwako. Nogi... Hisota. Nogi... Wasoba.

Uta: Wasoba. That's a good name! Like "soba of Japan"! [1]

Mit: U-Utanon, anything but that topic!

Kar: Nogi Wasoba... That's just wrong.

Wak: My child being called soba!? Not a chance! I'd rather call them Nogi Udon if I had to!

Tam: Nogi Udon! Would totally work as an udon restaurant name... Right?

Its: It still... feels wrong. And why are we talking about names anyway?

Hin: Haa... I just can't decide!

Chi/Tou: I feel you...

Kar: Don't!
