| Chapter 26 | |
| Touji Harimiya |
P… Please let go of me…! |
|
At the point where we touched, a sensation like we were rejecting each other burst forth. It hurts. | |
| Shion Mikekado |
In this world, we aren’t allowed to separate from each other. Sing. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Eh… |
| Shion Mikekado |
Come on. Sing. |
| Touji Harimiya |
W—Wait— |
 | |
| Shion Mikekado |
Sing, Harimiya Touji. |
| Touji Harimiya |
!? |
| Shion Mikekado |
Prove to me here that you’re not just riding on your father’s coattails. |
| Touji Harimiya |
(What is this…? Her voice is echoing in my head—) |
| Shion Mikekado |
Do it. Hurry and sing. It’s your turn. You can’t escape. Sing. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Stop… please, wait!! |
|
Without thinking I tightly squeezed my eyes shut. There was nothing but deep darkness, yet only the voice that made my head ache refused to disappear. | |
| Shion Mikekado |
If you look away, our Unison will be broken. Harimiya Touji. Harimiya… Tou… —ji… … … Location: Flashback |
| Touichirou’s Voice |
… ji. Touji! How do you explain this!? |
 | |
| Touji Harimiya |
(Eh!? Father…!?) |
| Touichirou’s Voice |
You placed second in the nation?! You’re a disgrace to the Harimiya name! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(Father! Please forgive me…!) |
| Touji’s Mother’s Voice |
The eldest child must never be negligent in his efforts. Much less the son bearing the Harimiya name. |
| Touji Harimiya |
(Mother… I understand that…!) |
| Touji’s Grandfather’s Voice |
That does not simply mean your studies. Do not bring shame upon me at the next tea ceremony, Touji. |
| Touji Harimiya |
(Of course, Grandfather! In anything I do, I will never neglect my efforts!) |
| Touji’s Voice |
That’s right! You must further your efforts even more! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(Exactly…) |
| Touji’s Voice |
By the end of today I’ll complete five workbooks… no, seven! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(More…) |
| Touji’s Voice |
Tennis, golf, horse riding! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(I must drive myself even further…) |
| Touji’s Voice |
Calligraphy, flower arrangement, violin, piano! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(To be careless is to be as good as dead!) |
| Touji’s Voice |
No matter the circumstances, I will always be No. 1! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(I will be at the top!!) |
| Touji’s Voice |
If I’m not first, there’s no point! |
| Touji Harimiya |
(If I’m not perfect…!!!) |
 | |
| Touji Harimiya |
STOP!!!! |
|
I opened my eyelids suddenly as they burned hot enough to hurt. The unpleasant feeling of the intense grip on my arm remained. I had completely lost all composure, my breathing ragged. She looked at me and spoke— | |
| Shion Mikekado |
… What’s this? Opening the lid on your thoughts shouldn’t be a big deal, right? |
| Touji Harimiya |
!? |
| Shion Mikekado |
Fufu. It’s the same struggles every little young master faces. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Wh—what are you saying… could it be, just now… you, too… |
| Shion Mikekado |
That’s right. We shared it all. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Shared… |
| Shion Mikekado |
Relax. Because I’m touching you like this, the only one who saw it was me. |
