“To You Who Flies to the Future" - CHAPTER 4"



Kazunari: Phew~ Everything’s all nice and tidy now. All thanks to you, Settsuar!
Banri: At your service. Last but not least is this canvas with your grad project, right? What should we do with this?
Kazunari: Oh, you can just leave that one as is for now!
Banri: So like, just have it stay in the room like this then?
Kazunari: Yep yep! Our graduation exhibition will be open for two times total; Which means we still have one more show around the time of our grad ceremony.
My piece was actually picked to be displayed in the next grad exhibit too, so I plan to just leave it here for now.
Banri: That so. Getting chosen to be featured on both shows sounds real impressive. Probably ‘cuz it’s an incredible piece though, I can tell that much.
Kazunari: Hehe, thankies~
I do think I was able to draw a piece that feels like a culmination of my uni life— a piece that I could look back on and know I made it without any regrets left.
That’s why I can have the resolve to resist drawing for my own until graduation comes.
Banri: … That’s good, I suppose.


Kazunari: … So this is my last artwork as a student of Amabi, huh.
Banri: …..
Kazunari: Oh, right. I have stuff already drawn in my sketchbook, but you’re free to look at it if you wanna.
Banri: If I feel like it, I guess.
[LIME NOTIF]
Kazunari: Oh, it’s a LIME from Kumopi.
Banri: Kumon?

—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Yuki: So you basically came to us to consult about your hairstyle, right?
Kumon: You guys helped out Taichi-san and Azami in coming up with their hairstyles for their graduation before, right? ^[1]
I called for you all ‘cause I wanna get advice about my hair from everyone in Summer Troupe!
… But why then is Banri here!?
Banri: I just happened to be with Kazunari when you texted him. Thought I could give my own two cents too.
Kumon: Nggh….. I hate to admit it but you are pretty knowledgable when it comes to style. Alright fine! I’ll give you special permission to be here just this once!
Banri: Sure, sure.
Kazunari: Then let’s surf some hair styling sites and brainstorm together! How ‘bout this site here— it’s been quite the trending topic these days.
Muku: Wow, the whole list has so many stylish choices! There’s got to be one that fits Kyuchan among these.
Tenma: Well what about this hairstyle? It would definitely be an eye-catcher, plus it matches Kumon’s vibes.
Misumi: I recommend putting on a triangle ornament too!
Yuki: If you’re looking for something that would suit Tsuku High’s uniform… Maybe this one would pass.
Banri: This here’s decent too. So is this one— it fits Kumon and is a popular style recently.
Kazunari: Felt felt felt~! This one is so giving Kumon!
Kumon: Oh man, now I don’t know which to choose from all these cool options!
[DOOR OPENS]
Guy: It’s quite lively here. What’s gotten everyone excited?
Misumi: We’re trying to decide on Kumon’s hairstyle for his graduation~
Citron: Ohh! That sounds most exciting indeed! Let me lend a hand in choosing for you too!
Kumon: Really? I’d love any help! So right now we’re deciding on these ones here——
—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Yuki: After testing out a bunch of these, we can probably narrow down the list like this.
Tenma: With only 5 choices left to choose from, maybe we should leave it to Azami for the final decision.
Banri: Yeah. Narrowing it down to these should be good enough.
Kumon: OK! Thanks for going along with this, everyone! Getting to check out all these hairstyles was super fun~!
Misumi: Seeing Kumon try out so many styles was just as fun!!
Muku: So many of them looked so cool and suitable that it was easy to get lost in the choices!
Citron: With this, I have no doubt you’ll have the perfect hair decided for your graduation day!
Kazunari: Speaking of graduations, how do they do their celebrations on Zahra?
Guy: I wouldn’t say it’s anything as solemn as it is in Japan.
Citron: If I had to say, the biggest differences are that we hold our ceremonies outside and that we don’t have any of the formal addresses!
Another common practice is how we would have post-graduation parties in each of our own households after the ceremony.
Kumon: Post-grad parties!? That sounds so fun!
Kazunari: Tell me about it! That’d be super hype!
Guy: Indeed, they are pretty lively as far as I have heard.
Citron: Oh I just came up with a wonderful idea! Let us all prepare a graduation party for Kumon and Kazu here at the dorm!
Guy: That’d be good, yes. We should celebrate your graduation with everyone.
Kumon: No way, really!? Awesomeeee!!
Kazunari: You sure we can!?
Citron: But of course! Leave all the party preparations to us!
Muku: If there’s anything I can help with, I’d love to!
Tenma: You can ask me if you need a lending hand anytime too.
Misumi: I’ll help, I’ll help!
Yuki: Since decorations are a must, I’ll lend a hand too.
Guy: Thank you. We’ll ask for everyone’s help when we need it.
Kumon: Lemme join in the prep too!
Kazunari: Samesies!
Citron: Oh no no no, you two are the celebrants! You just need to look forward to the party day itself.
Tenma: He’s right. Just hang tight for the time being.
Kumon: Alright then. Thanks again, everyone! Ohhh boy, now I just can’t sit still!
Kazunari: Big TY you guys!! I totes can’t wait for the party!
—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—　—

Banri: (...Kazunari said it’d be fine to look at his sketchbook. But… It’s not like I have any intent to—)
Izumi: Banri-kun? It’s rare to see you up at this hour.
Banri: Could say the same to you, Director-chan. Whatcha doin’ here?
Izumi: Oh, I was drinking with the Winter Troupe just now, but I feel like I had a little too much so I thought I’d take a little breather out here…
Huh, isn’t that Kazunari-kun’s sketchbook?
Banri: Yeah. He lent it to me for safekeeping and—
[WIND BLOWS]
Banri: —Woah!
Izumi: Oh wow, it’s so windy…!!
Banri: (The gust blew the sketchbook open—)
Izumi: Woah, these are amazing! There are sketches of all sorts of places jotted down in this sketchbook.
This one’s the dorm, Amabi Uni… And this is the park, isn’t it?
Banri: It is… This drawing here, don’t it look like the view from this spot here?
Izumi: Ah, you’re right! So Kazunari-kun must’ve sketched this here then.


Banri: (It’s been such an obvious thing that I somehow never paid that much mind to it, but for Kazunari, drawing means it’s another part of his everyday, ain’t it…)
