Character Story 8: The Inconceivable Magic Words

Scene: A street in Landsol.

Yui
Yuuki? Good morning. Do you have work again, today? ... The sun sure is bright.

A light shines.

Yui
... No, there's no way it should be this bright.

Yui
This light must be just like before...!

Scene: A dream. A classroom in Japan.

Yui
(Has the school bell not rung yet...? I'd thought that I would keep going over the quiz topics until the very end, but...)

The school bell rings.

Yui
Ah, there it is...

Yui
(First, I'll take a look at the questions... Huh?)

Yui
(... There's no doubt. He hasn't brought an eraser.)

Yui
(I'd like to help him... But if the teacher sees me in the middle of the test, he'll be upset...)

Yui
(... No. That's the wrong way to think about it.)

Yui
(If he were in my spot, and he saw someone else in trouble, he'd definitely help them...!)

Yui
Hey, Yuuki...

Yui
If you'd like... You can use this.

Yui
Shhh... Right. So that the teacher doesn't notice, just take it quietly.

Yui
Don't worry about me. I've got another eraser.

Yuuki
1. "Thanks. You do your best, too, Yui."

Yui
Mm-hmm... Let's do our best...

Yui
(That worked out...)

Yui
(... Huh? Just now, did I give him the eraser that I normally use?)

Yui
(Wh... what do I do? On that eraser...!)

Yui
(I've written the name of the person I like...!)

Yui
(I wrote it down for an internet fortune telling thing, and I totally forgot about it...!)

Yui
(If he sees his own name on my eraser, he'll definitely think that I'm a weirdo... I have to do something...!)

Yui
Um, actually... I'd like to swap that eraser for this one.

Yui
See, this one is better at erasing, you know...?

Yuuki
1. "It's all right, I can use this one."

Yui
It's all right!? ... I don't feel all right at all...!

Yui
(If I talk any louder, the teacher will notice... Why did I give him that one...)

Yuuki
1. Take a closer look at what's written on the eraser.

Yui
Nooo! Don't read it!

Yui
(Ah... I just shouted out loud... The teacher will make me take the test again, now... But at least he didn't see...)

End of dream.

Ames
How was that present from me? Did you have a good 'dream'?

Ames
I made this 'dream' from you and Yui's past memories, but... If you don't stop being so thick, you'll be in for a rough time, you know?

Ames
Well, then, see you later!

End of Ames conversation.

Yui
Ah... That dream again...?

Yui
Yuuki... You and I had the same dream again...

Yui
I'm sorry for shouting all of a sudden like that... But I definitely didn't want you to see what was on that eraser...

Yui
As for what was on there... Sorry, I don't really remember... But I know for sure that I didn't want you to see it.

Yui
(Ooh... There's no way I can say that it was your name...)

Yui
... I'm going to try that fortune telling thing again.
