Chapter 30.2

Everyone has an enjoyable time after making the snowman .
Before long it grows dark, and it’s time to go home .
When Chako and I leave for home, Tomotaksenpai invites Chako and I saying he has something to tell .
Chako makes an extremely doubtful face but, in the end, we decide to talk for just a bit in front of the bench at the sports ground .

“Tomotaksama, what could be the matter?”Translated by nakimushitl

 Perhaps because Kousuke-kun and Sensei aren’t around anymore, Chako talks to Tomotaksenpai in a polite manner .
Tomotaksenpai goes “Aa”, giving a small nod while maintaining a distance from Chako and I .

“There’s something I want to tell you . ”
“Something you want to tell?”
“Aa . You still remember the orders I gave so far, right?”
“Yes . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 There is no sign of people in the 2nd sports ground that has grown dark .
The voices of people returning home from club activities could be heard but, that clatter feels distant somehow .
While stars are faintly twinkling in the slightly cloudy sky, the waning moon has yet to reveal its figure .

“I don’t mind those orders coming to an end today . ”

 Tomotaksenpai’s pretty voice resounds .

“There’s neither need to follow my orders from now on, nor is there need to return to my side . ”

 There was no pause in the clearly informed words .
Tomotaksenpai’s deep blue eyes simply look straight at Chako .

“You can live freely from now on . ”
“Freely…?”

 The Chako who had been looking at the ground with bewilderment raises her gaze shortly at those words .
Tomotaksenpai goes “That’s right” at such a Chako, nodding gently .

“If you want to stay at this school you can stay as you have been . If you want to return to the mountain you can return to it… If there is something else you want to do, you can consult the director . I’ll request him to grant your wishes . ”
“… The director, you say?”
“Aa . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 The bewildered Chako stares at Tomotaksenpai .
Although I think Chako and Tomotaksenpai’s lines of sight connected for an instance, Chako immediately turns hers away .
Even then, Tomotaksenpai doesn’t remove his eyes from Chako, and firmly spins his words .

“I apologize for treating you like an object till now… You had always performed well . The fault all lies in my inexperience . ”

 Chako’s body jolts up at Tomotaksenpai’s apology .

“You’re not responsible for the matters so far . Everything was done under my orders . ”

 At those sincere words, the heart of the me listening next to Chako squeezes in pain .
Tomotaksenpai is apologizing .
However that is, not because he wants to be forgiven for everything so far, or because he wants to lighten his heart .

 He’s saying that the matters so far aren’t Chako’s fault .
That there’s no need for Chako to worry .

 He solely…
For the sake of lightening Chako’s heart…

“Not by your will . ”

 I don’t know what happened in Chako and Tomotaksenpai’s past .
However, because this voice is so concerned about Chako .
… I hope that it reaches her .

 However, Chako remains glaring motionlessly at the ground, not looking at Tomotaksenpai .
Tomotaksenpai slowly continues to speak to such a Chako .

“The matter relating to the fox siblings too, let me tell them if it’s difficult for you to . Tell them that I ordered you . ”
“Ah, nah, it is fine… I had no intention of telling Kousuke-chan and the rest, you see . ”

 The matter relating to the fox siblings?

 Towards the strange words, I glance at Chako .
When I do, Chako’s eyes part from the ground and return my glance .
Those eyes that smile bitterly, appear to ooze a sense of apology towards me .

“Alright, I’ll leave those matters to you completely . You can tell them if you want to, it’s fine if you want to hide it too . You can decide . ”
“… Yes . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 Chako gives a small nod .
Seeing that with his own eyes, Tomotaksenpai lets out a breath .
And, those deep blue eyes stare at Chako .

“… I’ll continue to live as someone from the Kamo family . I’ll also make myself stronger . ”

 Tomotaksenpai looks straight at Chako and tells her .

“The wish of the Kamo family is the extermination of phantoms . However, I plan to keep watch so that that won’t happen at least in the time I still live . ”

 Looking at the future, and walking on his own path .

“I won’t meddle with the Priestess of Ominous Clouds either . ”

 The deep blue eyes that had been looking at Chako look at me .
Then, they smile softly .

“Thank you very much…”

 With my chest still squeezing in pain, I desperately make a smile and replies Tomotaksenpai .

 Tomotaksenpai will continue to live as someone from the Kamo family .
And even as he lives, he plans to protect Chako and I .

“I’ll continue to pin down those hindering you and Nabsan . ”

 Surely, that is a path far tougher than the path until now .

 Even then, Tomotaksenpai chose that .
Because he’s always the hardworking and stoic senpai .

“There’s nothing to worry about… You can live freely . ”

 Tomotaksenpai looks at Chako, and smiles gently .

“I won’t appear at your gatherings from now on . ”

 Even though his is an extremely pretty and glittery smile, the words are those of parting…

“I apologize for detaining you, in this cold . ”
“… Take care . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 Chako glances up at Tomotaksenpai and replies .
Tomotaksenpai smiles happily when his eyes meet Chako’s .

“Well then, I’ll be going . ”

 Tomotaksenpai turns his heels and begins walking .
That back is straight and upright, with no hesitation .

 It’s what I wished for .
I requested him to let go of Chako’s hand .
Tomotaksenpai granted that .

 That’s why, I will do the things have to .

 Seeing off the back of Tomotaksenpai that has become distant, I resolve in my heart .

 I’ll tell Chako the things up till now .
I’ll tell her the method to release the familiar contract .

 Then――Translated by nakimushitl

“Hey hey, Yui-chan, what’s wrong with Tomotaksama?”

 As I bite my lips and harden my resolve, suddenly a voice calls out from next to me .
That voice has bewilderment and doubt blended in it…

“What’s up? A trap?”

 Brows knitted tightly, she mumbles as her face turns cloudy .

“Is it that? His birthday came and he became 17 so, he changed his class?[1]”

 Chako laughs “Hihihi” as though nothing happened .
The usual mischievous smile .

“…”Translated by nakimushitl

 I wonder why .
Even though those were words so concerned about Chako, why did they not reach her?

“… That’s not it, that’s not it, Chako! Senpai, Tomotaksenpai was…”

 I understood Tomotaksenpai’s resolution .

 Seeing this state of Chako, I unconsciously raised my voice .
When I do, Chako’s eyes, for an instance, widen at the me who raised my voice . After that, she apologizes “Sorry sorry” .

“Ah, un . Well, I got that Tomotaksenpai[2] was speaking seriously . ”

 Chako’s 2 hands join together in front of her chest, and she looks at me with upturned eyes .
Don’t get angry, that face expresses…
I take a deep breath, calming my heart .

“… I’m sorry too . Chako has a lot going on too, but I shouted…”
“Ah, un . No? Not at all . It’s my bad for poking fun . ”

 Chako laughs with a troubled face .

 … I see . Translated by nakimushitl
Chako wanted to make Tomotaksenpai’s talk just now seem like a joke .
Was it a trapー? That’s terrible! She wanted to laugh like always…

“…Tomotaksenpai thought a lot about you, you know?”
“Un . Ah, un . I guess so . Un . ”
“He said that Chako can live freely… That he wanted to protect Chako and I…”
“Ah, un . ”
“Chako . You’re free, you know? It’s okay for you to choose, you know?”

 It’s not a joke, Chako .
Tomotaksenpai really let go of your hand .

“There are no longer, things like orders . Whether to stay here… whether to choose someone . Chako can decide everything . ”

 With Chako’s will .
Chako has to choose this world .

 I look desperately at Chako’s golden eyes .
Chako looks back firmly at such a me…

“That’s right… Yui-chan won’t let me escape, huh…”

 Chako sighs, looking up at the sky .
And, she gives a small mutter .

“About Tomotaksama… I knew he was trying to part from me . I believe he definitely thought a lot and decided properly . ”

 ”It’s just like Tomotaksama, right?” she laughs a little .

“… But, I can’t . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 Looking up at the sky, Chako spills her words .
That voice is calm…

“Tomotaksama said he let me free but… even so…”

 Chako’s small voice resounds .
It’s so small, I could barely hear the ends of the words .

 Somehow I become extremely anxious, I grasp both hands in front of my chest tightly .
The stars beyond Chako’s face profile twinkle faintly when I look up at her .

 I want Chako to look at me .
But… I don’t want Chako to .

 Even as I’m shaken by the contrasting feelings, I don’t want to remove my eyes from Chako…
Chako sighs when I stare at the pretty face profile .

“Yui-chan . I want to ask Yui-chan something . ”

 More than the stars in the sky, the golden eyes possessing several times their brightness look at me .

“Yui-chan, you . ”Translated by nakimushitl

 The golden eyes staring at me have always been pretty…
