Hanayui no Shou 17-2EB

Soothing song - 2

[Sanshuu Middle - rooftop]

Its: Wakaba-san, what were you doing here at the rooftop?

Wak: ...Just looking up at the sky.

Its: The sky?

Wak: Yeah. Seems I have a habit of doing so whenever I get the change.

Its: ...Did something happen?

Wak: ...No, nothing. It's just that... with Ehime reclaimed, it's time for us to head towards another battlefield.

Its: Yeah...

Wak: So I thought to steel my mind in preparation. I look up at the sky in times like these, too.

Its: I see. What a wonderful habit.

Wak: Is it? Hinata usually scolds me for "looking at the sky and spacing out".

Its: No, I think you're really level-headed. Onee-chan is a leader just like you, but she's completely different...

Wak: I think Fuu-san is a great person.

Its: I respect Onee-chan a lot as well. But you, Wakaba-san, are my example as a warrior.

Wak: A warrior?

Its: Yeah. Someone out of my reach, who I'll never be able to become like no matter how much I try to imitate you.

Wak: A-Aren't you laying it on a little too thick?

Its: Of course not! You're so serious and stoic when it comes to battles... I want to be like you, Wakaba-san.

Its: I want to become strong like you, Wakaba-san.

Wak: Itsuki...
