Memoir

～Requiem for A Sky Dancing Angel～

Miu!

I'm sure you wouldn't understand.

Miu!

This isn't funny!

I'd never do something that makes me look bad in public!

Do as you wish.

I'm leaving this house.

Go ahead.

Go to your mother's, or that young woman's place.

"But... what is true happiness, after all?"

Giovanni asked that.

"I don't understand", Campanella replied faintly.

It's beautiful.

I want to become a person who can write beautiful stories like this.

If we had beautiful stories,

Papa, Mama, and I would surely be happy.

You're lying.

It's true.

At night, the cherry blossom tree over there goes to meet the big tree by the river.

Then they talk all night,

and it returns to school in the morning.

There's no way a tree can walk.

That's right. And trees can't talk.

They can.

I've talked to them.

And the cherry blossom tree said it doesn't want to talk to bullies like you.

Really?

Is that so?

Let's go.

Say hello with enthusiasm.

Asakura is arrogant.

And she's a real liar.

Your father is really the worst.

I don't want to see that man's face anymore.

It's painful!

It's frustrating!

I can't stand it anymore!

It's all your father's fault that I'm so unhappy!

I'm my mother's garbage can.

A cool and delicious stream flows in the Milky Way.

Anyone who drinks that water will feel very happy,

and they'll sing and dance.

They won't fight or spread rumors.

Good morning, Asakura-san.

We're on duty today.

Asakura Miu.

Inoue Konoha.

Wednesday Day Duty

Inoue Konoha Asakura Miu

What are you looking at?

Tadpoles are swimming in the sky.

Where?

Tadpoles as big as dolphins.

They already went that way.

They had to hurry because a serious incident happened.

What incident?

Want to play at my house today?

Let's go!

I'll bring the cookies my mom baked.

Let's go, quickly.

Yes.

Asakura-san!

Tell me what happens next.

Next?

What happens next in the tadpole story?

Right.

What happens?

The sea anemones are the keys in the incident.

The sea anemones?

Yeah, sea anemones seem really scary.

The sea anemones plan to fill the ocean with their friends.

So the ocean will be filled with sea anemones?

The dolphins were the first to notice.

The dolphins want to stop the sea anemones somehow.

Yeah.

I'm going this way.

Really?

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

Will you tell me what happens next?

You want to hear it?

Yeah!

Because your story is very interesting.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye bye.

I don't want to be called Asakura-san or Miu-chan.

Call me Miu.

I'm going to call you Konoha.

But everyone will make fun of us.

Are you scared of that?

You're such a weakling.

You don't have to call me that if you don't want to.

No, I will.

I'll call you Miu.

"But... what is true happiness, after all?"

Giovanni asked that.

"I don't understand,"

Campanella replied faintly.

Someday, I'll be like Campanella, journey on the Galactic Railroad,

and travel to the ends of the universe.

Can I be Giovanni and go along with you?

Only Campanella can go to the ends of the universe.

Giovanni gets off the train in the middle.

I don't want that.

I'll do my best to follow Campanella.

So, please. Can we go together?

Let's make a map.

Then, even if we're separated somewhere in the universe, we'll be able to meet again.

Yes, let's make one.

A map for just the two of us.

So you're Miu-chan.

Nice to meet you.

Konoha is always talking about you.

Mother, stop that.

It's embarrassing.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Geez.

Forget about it. Are there any snacks?

Yes.

I'll call you when they're ready. Come and get them.

Okay.

Mother made too many.

Konoha. Come and get your snacks.

Okay!

What snacks are we having today?

Hello?

It's all your fault.

Because of you, your father and I can't get divorced!

You're all living your lives freely.

I have to wait, because I have no money.

It's all your fault!

What's wrong?

Say, Konoha.

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Um...

Hey, tell me the continuation of yesterday's story.

Wait, Konoha.

Hurry, hurry!

The Galactic Railroad leaves for space from here.

Yeah.

And then, the train runs along the Milky Way and arrives at the Forest of Departure.

I have to change Chuchu's food and water.

Chuchu.

Wait a second.

Miu, what's wrong?

Konoha, Chuchu is...

Hey, Miu. Tell me the continuation of yesterday's story.

I have to write.

Yellow Tomato.

Today I'll tell you the story of the Yellow Tomato.

The yellow tomato?

"Once upon a time, there was a boy named Pempel and a girl named Neri,

two very intimate siblings."

"They decided to plant tomatoes in the field."

I stole someone's story.

I did that because...

Konoha, it's all your fault.

It's because you pressed me for more stories.

"Pempel was really a good child,

but he did pitiful things."

"His sister Neri was also a really cute and good child,

but she was pitiful."

"Ah, how pitiful."

"Really pitiful."

Say, Konoha.

Do you love me?

Um...

And then?

Yes, I have it.

Is that so?

It's interesting.

Should I bring it next time?

I'm happy.

Konoha is mine.

We've had sex already.

Do you want my hand-me-downs?

N-No way!

"Even though you're ugly, you got carried away."

That's what Konoha told me.

Inoue-kun.

I hate you!

You have me, so it's okay, right?

Konoha, hurry!

Wait.

Miu!

I'm writing a novel now.

I'll show it to you when I'm done.

You can become a writer.

Is that right? I'm going to become a writer.

I hope many people will read my book.

And then, it would be great if my readers became happy.

I've told only you,

because you're special.

What is your dream?

When you grow up, what kind of person do you want to be?

I...

I want to become a tree.

"But it's true."

"I really think I want to become a tree."

What is your dream?

When you grow up, what kind of person do you want to be?

I want to become a tree.

Konoha, why did you write a novel and keep it a secret from me?

Konoha, why did you write a book using the name "Inoue Miu",

and become a writer?

Konoha, why did you get away from me?

Then, Konoha...

the only thing I can do...

The only...

Miu!

...is to hurt you and make you suffer.

I'll make sure you never forget me for the rest of your life.

This feeling.

I'm sure you wouldn't understand.

Konoha.

Konoha.

Really, I wanted to be by your side forever.
