Kisaki Bond Episode 4

Momotalk

K: Of all the virtues that being the Head Priest requires
K: One of them is to be faithful to oaths.
S: Keeping a promise is certainly important.
K: One more thing.
K: The oath that this one took...
K: Was to protect thou by any means necessary.
S: Any means necessary!?
K: Tis but a jest.
K: However, Sensei.
K: This one has not forgotten.
K: That promise of thou to see the world...
K: Never, ever let it flee your mind, alright?
S: This is purely for curiosity's sake...
S: But what happens if I do?
K: ....
K: Well, it's not as if the heavens will tear themselves asunder
K: However...
K: Genryumon shall collect what it is owed, one way or another.
S: Yeah, I'll remember that...
K: Sigh... why is it that Genryumon and the Alchemical Research Society must always summon such a fuss?
K: Tis just an outing with Sensei...
S: Eh... did something happen?
K: It is nothing worth raising eyebrows over.
K: However, with this one away, an all night study sessions was held, enduring for 3 mornings and 2 evenings.
S: All night, for 2 nights and 3 mornings!?
K: Morever, the Alchemical Research Society...
K: Even prepared this...

Asthama inhaler.png

S: Um... what's this?
K: It is named as an [inhaler]. It allows me to inhale medicinal fragrances.
K: Apparently, it was made without the eyesight of myself and Genryumon, and in cooperation with an outside school...
S: Then, we just have to make today worth it.
K: Even thou is saying such things...
K: Even as this one keeps stating her age...
S: People are just worried for you./And that includes me as well.
K: Of course, the motivations of others are not invisible to this one. But...
K: Nay, let us dispense with this talk.
K: Well then, where is our first destination?
K: Lunchtime has already passed us, but...
S: No worries, leave this to me!
K: Very well. This one waits with bated breath.

Train

K: This is...?
K: Ah, but this one is aware of it's name. Tis a [subway], is it not?
K: 'Is this one finding the journey refreshing'?
K: ...
K: Indeed, this one certainly is.
K: It's rather clamorous, and its shaking refuses to cease...

Park

K: An amusement park?
K: Hm? Ah... is thou pondering my weak reaction? See, thou's motivation for choosing this place-
K: Tis child's play to grasp!
K: Even for one such as myself, amusement parks are somewhat common knowledge.
K: However, to believe is quite different than to witness...
K: Very well, thou has mine trust. Also, this one sees a rather familiar sight...
K: I see. Tis a [Theme Park] that mimics the aesthetics of different schools.
K: It seems even Shanhaijing is present.
K: There seem to be discrepancies in the aesthetic... fumu, it appears the labourer was of poor quality! SUMMON THE ONE RESPONSIBLE!

I was a little worried at what would happen, but Kisaki was having a great time at the amusement park.
She was especially a fan of the roller-coaster. We rode it 5 times in a row.
Arcade

K: And this... is a [game centre]?
K: It is this one's first experiencing such a form of entertainment.
K: Fumu, so even those new to the act may enjoy it as they please. If thou says so, I shalt believe it.
K: So it seems that these 3 buttons must be pressed in succession to achieve victory.
K: ...If one fears the existence of the new, one will lack the ability to move forward.
K: Very well. This one is ready!

Kisaki plays the arcade machine.
She loses

K: ...Tis rather embarrassing, to be at the mercy of a machine...
K: Sensei, art thou perhaps in possession of some sort of esoteric art? It seems rather confounding for this one...
K: The pace of the battle warped a multitude of times... mine strength was occupied with merely pressing the buttons...
K: That too is part of the game? It requires one to respond to instantaneous changes...
K: ...If that was the intention, then it appears there is nothing to be done.
K: However, that does not mean this one's frustrations have abated. Next time, victory shalt be attained!
K: Does thou hath more plans after this? ...T-then I shall partake in one more match.

Shopping centre

K: And this is a shopping centre...
K: Fumu... certainly, there may be fascinating revelations here.
K: But it is the first time this one has set foot in such a place...
K: Fufu. I suppose I'll let thou take the lead this time.
K: Hm? You need not reminders?
K: ...
K: Sensei... has strange thoughts penetrated thy mind?

School clothes.png

K: !?
K: T-this is...!?
K: No, I understand that it is a boon from you...
K: But this... seems unfitting for this one... or does it?
K: Well, if you complement this one like that... well, an opportunity like this seldom comes in Shanghaijing.
K: Even if thou states the desire to see this one in a different form...
K: Fumu... T, this one supposes she could make some considerations...
K: Hm? Should this one wear the outfit, thou wisheth her to think of you...?
K: ....(Blush)
K: V-very well then.

Restaurant

K: It seems our lunchtime was rather tardy. They say people can only function if they eat...
K: Fufu, it seems my amusement hath blinded me to my hunger.
K: Hmm? Art thou curious to mine thoughts?
K: ...
K: If I said I was having a blissful time- what would be thou's answer?
K: Ah, this one understands. This one has great confidence that thou's surprises have yet to reach their limit.
K: Only half a day has passed. Do think not that this one is satisfied with so little, alright?
K: Ah, the inhaler... I see.
K: Be not so afraid.
K: ...This one understand enough without words.

Inhaler.png

K: Like this, is it not?
Employee: Sorry for the wait, take your time with the food.
K: Umu. This one shall partake in some.
K: Fufu... this one has yet to experience any of these meals.

Indoor park

S: ...
K: Sensei, wouldst thou care to explain the situation?
K: Thou thought it suited this one? Ho..? Shall this one demand an elaboration?
K: Thou wished to see this one, having fun as a child?
K: Even adults wish to play in the ball pit...?
K: That's no explanation, is it not?
K: ...
K: Well, this one is not blind to your care.
K: Sigh... if this is something Sensei thought of, tis difficult to refuse.
K: This one... playing in the ball pit...

Kisaki gets in her kindergarten uniform

K: ...
K: This one shall be off.

And so Kisaki, surprisingly enough...
No, unsurprisingly...
She had a lot of fun.
Cafe

K: Tis already evening
K: Fufu... it was a most eventful day. It shall remain within the halls of mine memory for eternity.
K: ...Ah, in regards to that, worry not.

Inhaler.png

K: Tis most strange.
K: That period, that incident... it remains fresh in this one's mind.
K: Many thanks, Sensei.
K: If not for thou, this scenery would have remained invisible to mine eyes.
K: May this one sit next to you?
K: Darkness comes, and the wind is rather frigid.
K: ...
K: This one loves it.
K: The twilight sky.
K: Tis neither day nor night. It's existence remains ambiguous.
K: As the sun sets, and darkness begins to take hold- in this transient moment lies an unfathomable beauty.
K: ...
K: Sensei, this one has a favour to ask.
K: May she ask you join her for a stroll?
K: Whatever time we have left, I wish to devote with you.

You have fun until it gets dark

K: Umu. This one is now sated, Sensei.
S: You had fun I assume?
K: Indeed. This beautiful day... I shan't forget it, not until death.
K: Fufu. Thou need not be so shocked. That was but-

Kisaki stumbles into you

S: Kisaki!?
K: ...
K: Ah, my apologies... and thanks, Sensei.
K: You need not worry.
K: My apologies, Sensei. It appears some rest may be in short order...
S: Kisaki, just hang on a little longer...!

I ran with Kisaki on my back and into a nearby inn.
Then I slowly laid Kisaki down on the sofa

S: I'll get the incense ready...!
Incense.png
K: Fuu... Mine thanks, Sensei. Tis getting better now.
K: To end the day in such a manner... this one could not be more ashamed.
K: Don't worry about it? Fufu, a typical answer from thou.
K: ...Sensei.
K: If I may?

L2D

K: Fufu. It seems this one has thou's attention. However, Sensei, ponder this for a moment.
K: This one here, may truly be of poor health... or she may merely be faking it.
K: Or perhaps... she's waiting to see just what course you shall take.
K: Or- perhaps she has merely placed her faith in your heart?
K: However... nay, I can assure thou at least this much.
K: Whatever may occur in this room... know that this one shall never begrudge you for it... ever.
S: ...
S: Kisaki./You shouldn't push yourself just yet.
K: S, sensei?
S: I'm just taking care of a student whose having a hard time. That's my job.
K: Ah. Is that so?
K: Fufu. To be scolded by Sensei... tis a fresh sensation.
K: But if that is so, is not thou's duty to soothe a student to slumber?
S: I-i wonder!!/Y-you mean putting you to sleep right?
K: Surely someone as noble as Sensei would hesitate to retract such statement. Would he not?
K: Now then, Sensei. This one... shall leave herself in thou's hands.
S: Uwah!?

(Kisaki suddenly came close to me, so I managed to squeeze her in with me...)

K: ...
K: Sensei.
K: It seems today... will be a peaceful slumber, thanks to thou...

She falls asleep
I stroked her head gently until she fell asleep.
She seemed tired, as I heard her heavy breathing while alseep.
Momotalk

K: Sensei
K: Is thou present?
S: Yep. You feeling better?
K: Ah. fear not
K: Tis but a short nagging from the Alchemical Research Society, but...
K: That was all. Many thanks for escorting this one back to Shanghaijing.
S: You're welcome.
K: Umu.
K: A proper reward shall be in short order.
K: ....
K: I wonder if this shall suffice...
S: What's wrong?
K: ...
K: Um
K: In other words
K: ...
K: This is how it looks.

Photo of Kisaki in a uniform.

S: !?!?/This is...!
K: It was taken but a moment ago.
S: Thank you! It'll be a family heirloom!
K: I see.
K: ...
K: If it brought thou joy, then that's all that matters.
K: Do keep it from prying eyes...
