Character Story 2: A Girl Swaying In The Wind

Scene: A Landsol street.

Shiori
I'm sorry. I ended up asking you out to shop with me.

Shiori
Ahaha. It's because I get dizzy even by just walking a little bit.

Shiori
Instead of being worried about me, it's more like you can't just leave me alone like that, right. You're such a kind person.

Shiori
Wa, ah...? I'm sorry. Today's wind is strong.

Shiori
It could be that I'm too skinny, or it could also be my posture... But just a little gust of wind can get me unsteady... to the point that I can't even maintain my balance while walking. Thank you for holding me.

Shiori
Today, I've gotten dizzy many times already... And every time it happens, you are always there to hold me. I'm slowly starting to get accustomed to relying on you.

Shiori
But I can't keep on doing that, right. I can't keep relying on others.

Shiori
But my health has always been like this since I was born... So maybe there's nothing I can do.

Shiori
Still, I still feel bad about it. I have to exercise more to increase my stamina.

Shiori
So, uhm.... You've been helping me carry the books that I bought. But I can carry my own bags too, you know?

Shiori
You want me to leave carrying these bags works to you? I'm grateful, but... Why are you willing to be so kind to a person like me?

Yuuki
1. Because I'm free.
2. It all comes naturally.

Option 1.

Shiori
Haa... So it's like you're just killing time.

Shiori
I would feel bad if I took away precious time from someone important to you... But if it's not such a big deal to you, then I don't feel as bothered.

Option 2.

Shiori
Ahaha... So you are that type of person who will help others naturally, right. How nice it must be, having so much capacity.

End of branches.

Shiori
Hmm, anyway... If I buy too much stuff, I won't be able to carry it all back to the farm with just my own strength. So, I should stop shopping now.

Shiori
Yes. I have managed to buy most of the books that I wanted.

Shiori
Though actually, I still wanted to buy some clothes... And also some letter set of sort.

Shiori
But if I buy them all, it'll end up being a burden. I have already been burdening my parents with my medical fees. To make up for it, I asked them not to send me an allowance.

Shiori
I sometimes help the farm with some work to earn some money. I use that money for shopping. I also want to send some of it to my parents, so I cannot be extravagant.

Shiori
So, I'm already satisfied now. I think that all I need are these few precious items that I can carry on my own... Items that I can cherish for a long time.
