Kaede River Riverbed

Takatoshi Hijiyama, disheveled, is on his knees on the path by the river. His stomach grumbles.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | It's too much... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | So hungry... I've got no strength left... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I can't go on like this. I'll starve to death... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Urgh... Desperate times call for desperate measures. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Maybe on the main street, I could find some scraps in the garbage... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | ... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | What am I thinking!? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I am an imperial soldier! The pride of the Empire! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I can't dig through trash like some animal! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I'd be better off dead...[1] |
His stomach grumbles again.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Still... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I'll never find a paying job in this state...[2] |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | ... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I shouldn't have let the heat get to me. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Taking that bath in the river was my biggest mistake... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | That cold left me out of commission for a while. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | And now it's been three days since my food ran out... |
His stomach grumbles again.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | ... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I couldn't even find Kiriko-san in the end. |
Megumi Yakushiji walks by, pausing to look at Takatoshi Hijiyama.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Is this how I die? Alone, wasting away? |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | ... |
Megumi Yakushiji crouches down next to Takatoshi Hijiyama.
| |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | Excuse me, um... Are you okay? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | ! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Oh, haha... never better... |
His stomach grumbles again.
| |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | Was that your stomach...? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Uh... haha... |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | I know... |
Megumi Yakushiji pulls out a yakisoba pan.
| |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | ... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | What's this...? |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | I bought too much of this at lunch... |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | It's yakisoba pan. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Yakisoba... pan? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I can have this? |
| Megumi Yakushiji: | If you'd like. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I... I suppose I'll take you up on that. |
Megumi Yakushiji gives Takatoshi Hijiyama the yakisoba pan, and walks away.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Yakisoba pan... |
Takatoshi Hijiyama takes a bite of the yakisoba pan.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | !? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | It's... so good...! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Impossibly good...! It's delicious! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | How could anything so delicious exist in this world? |
Takatoshi Hijiyama devours the rest of the yakisoba pan.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | ...I wanted to savour the taste, but... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I practically inhaled that whole piece. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Now that I think about it... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | I never even got to thank her. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | My Yakisoba Pan Angel... |
