(Sound of rain)

 

Shuu: "Aaa, Today is raining, too."

 

(Sound of door opening)

 

Shuu: "Oh, Isn't that Shin? What are you doing there...laying flat without any motion (Note: "maguro no you ni": literally, 'laying there like a tuna', which means 'laying

there without any motion') Don't take the whole sofa by yourself!"

 

Shin: "...uhn...my stomach...hurts..."

 

Shuu: "Stomach??? What, you must been overeating!"

 

Shin: "I'M NOT YOU!!"

 

Shuu: "WHAT DID YOU SAY!! I ALSO HAVE THE EXPERIENCES OF STOMACHACHE THAT WASN'T CAUSED BY OVEREATING...such as overdrinking, or catching a chill while sleeping."

 

Shin: "....o...Ouch."(fell on the floor)

 

Shuu: "HEY! SHIN! WHAT'S WRONG!!"

Shin: "MELODRAMA VERSION"

(Sound of door opening)

 

Ryo: "HEY! EVERYONE! [I heard that] SHIN...SHIN COLLAPSED!! IT'S THAT TRUE, SHUU?"

 

Shuu: "yeah, it's true."

 

Ryo: "WHAT'S THE CAUSE?!"

 

Touma: "Calm down, Ryo."

 

Ryo: "HOW CAN I CALM DOWN?!"

 

Touma: "RYO!"

 

Ryo: "Shin collapsed....I didn't even notice that he wasn't feeling well!"

 

Touma: "Ryo! We are all worried as well. Sit down anyway!"

 

(Ryo sat)

 

Ryo: "Sorry, Touma. I...was really astonished. I don't know what to do..."

 

Touma: "I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't yell at you."

 

Seiji: "But...what is wrong all of a sudden? He was fine yesterday."

 

Shuu: "He taught me the (martial) Art of Rod in the yard yesterday. In addition, we ate meal together this morning, too."

 

Touma: "But, he almost didn't touch anything."

 

Seiji: "That is right."

 

Touma: "Shin never complaint to us, such as saying "I'm in pain," "I'm tired," or "I don't want to [do it anymore]" before. Not even once, right? Even though he looks like he is fine, it does not necessary mean that he is really all right."

 

Shuu: "He is....so reserved! Aren't we companions?!"

 

Ryo: "Doctor...what did the doctor say?"

 

Touma: "The doctor is checking [him] right now."

 

Seiji: "But...it takes too long. It should have already been finished if that is just a regular check."

 

Shuu: "Hey, Touma! You don't say that Shin is having something SERIOUS, do you?"

 

Touma: "I don't know."

 

Shuu: "Wh...WHY DO YOU ONLY GET SERIOUS AT THIS KIND OF SITUATION!!"

 

Touma: "At any rate, it's a fact that Shin collapsed. We can't change anything."

 

Ryo: "(sadly)Shin."

 

Touma: "Instead of talking about that, we should all think about if we are responsible for it."

 

Seiji: "We are responsible?"

 

Touma: "That's right. For example, we bother him with trouble, or that we give him a shock. He might have very delicate nerves even when he doesn't look like so. After all, he is "The Blood Type A" who always take consideration [for others]."

 

Ryo: "It's my fault."

 

Seiji: "It is not only you, Ryo."

 

Touma: "For example, Shin is the only high school student [among us], isn't he?"

 

Shuu: "REALLY?"

 

Touma: "High school student may have something important that we the junior high students don't understand. We are still compulsony education after all. We might still make it, but Shin will be retained for a grade definitely."

 

Ryo: "I...never heard Shin talked about it!"

 

Touma: "He'd rather die than to touble other people with his own problems."

 

Ryo: "WHAT DID YOU SAY! THEN, WHAT'S THE MEANING OF US BEING THE COMPANIONS! I always acted unmanly (Note: "Fukai-nai", unmanly, cowardly, not doing what a man is supposed to do), causing everyone trouble all the time...did you say that I shouldn't even "WORRIED"?"

 

Shuu: "Me too, caused Shin a lot trouble. Carelessly, I used offensive language with him; I can't stand his treacherous [like a sly fox] words and almost faught with him."

 

Touma: "His iron-like heart will not be bothered for such small issues."

 

Shuu: "DIDN'T YOU JUST SAID THAT HIS NERVES ARE DELICATE?"

 

Touma: "I said "MIGHT" be delicate."

 

Shuu: "...that's why I hate people who have quick thinking."

 

Touma: "For example, the radical change of the environment."

 

Seiji: "Environment? What do you mean?"

 

Touma: "For example, during the fight with Youja, we are only junior high students. However, Shin, the high school student, (imitating Shin's tone) "I have to fight even when I can't get the credits!" (Note: Touma used "Boku" here to address himself. "Boku" is a polite self-address term, and Shin is the only one among the troopers who uses this term to address himself)

 

Shuu: "Who is 'BOKU", WHO IS?"

 

Touma: "(Imitating Shin's tone) Even though my dream is to have maybe a farm, to grow maybe some cherry tomatos in the countryside at Yamaguchi Province (Note: Shin lives in Yamaguchi Province, in Southwest Japan) quietly by myself..."

 

Seiji: "I recalled Shin mentioned that his family does not own any farm."

 

Touma: "(imitating Shin's tone)...and there are cute dogs, cats, dragonflies, pheasants, monkeys, mongooses, Yanbarukuina (Note,Yanbarukuina is a kind of bird that only resides at Yanbaru, Okinawa province, the Southern Island of Japan)...."

 

Seiji: "Why is there Yanbarukuina in Yamaguchi Province?"

 

Touma: "(Imitating Shin's tone)..The Wife goes to the mountain to do the laundry, I go to the river to bully [others]..... "(Note 1: "iji-waru" means ill-natured, bully. It may be used to describe anything from a light case (such as always teasing others) to a very serious case (such as bully someone to the point that this person refused to go to school.) (Note 2: In Japanese folk tale, it's a common way to describe a typical elder couple's daily life by saying "Ojii-san [old man] goes to the mountain lumbering, Obaa-san [old man's wife] goes to the river doing the laundry." Touma's sentence here is a parody of it. And yes, Touma said wife goes to the "mountain" instead of saying the "river". After all, Shin is the one that connect with water [river].)

 

Shuu: "This [bully] part does sound like him."

 

Touma: "(Imitating Shin's tone) But even such small dreams are destroyed by Arago and the Funny Party." (Note: "yukai" means pleasant/silly/funny)

 

Seiji: "Touma is much more funnier than they are."

 

Touma: "(Imitating Shin's tone) I....hate Arago!"

 

Ryo: "(screaming) IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!"

 

Shuu: "W....Why so suddenly!!"

 

Ryo: "It's...It's just because that I'm not dependable, Shin can't go home even when he wanted to!"

 

Seiji: "If he really wanted to go home, he would go no matter what."

 

Ryo: "I know that just because I acted so unmanly..."

 

Shuu: "(imitating Ryo's tone)..and caused everyone so much trouble."

 

Ryo: "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!! SHUU!! STOP JOKING!!"

 

Shuu: "I apologize....I APOLOGIZE!!"

 

Ryo: "Shin....if something happened to Shin, I'll,I'll..."

 

Seiji: "Ryo! It's not only your fault!"

 

Ryo: "Seiji!"

 

Seiji: "I also troubled him a lot. I must be blamed that I left Shin taking care of all the housework just because he is good with it."

 

Shuu: "Me too...although I just made Ryo angry..."

 

Ryo: "Shuu!"

 

Shuu: "Me, too. I always fight with him. I ate the cheesecake that he saved carefully for later without telling anyone. I keep silence when I broke his book. I acted like I didn't know anything when I broke his bed. At midnight, I ate all the rice that he cooked to be make into rice balls on the following day. I stole all his main dishes during dinner. In addition, I..."

 

Ryo: "THAT'S NOT IT!! IT MUST BE MY FAULT!"

 

Seiji: "NO, IT IS MINE."

 

Shuu: "NO, MINE."

 

Ryo: "I'M THE ONE TO BLAAAAAMED!!" SHIIIIIIN!!!(screaming)"

 

(door opened)

 

Shin: "What?"

 

Ryo: "(long pause)....Shin?"

 

Shin: "Hey...Ryo. What's wrong? Why are you so tearful?"

 

Seiji: "Shin...you, what happened with the doctor."

 

Shin: "He is gone for quite a while"

 

Shuu: "You...but you looked so painful at the time."

 

Shin: "[It's not worth] No mention of it! It's just the appendix. Nowaday I can take the medicine and suppress it, so it's not very painful anymore. However, I thought it's a good chance anyway, so I asked the doctor to cut it just in case."

 

Ryo: "(lower the voice)....the fight with Youja..."

 

Seiji: "(lower the voice)...the cherry tomato in the farm..."

 

Shuu: "(lower the voice)...go to the river to bully...."

 

Shin: "Everyone, what are you guys talking about? I did tell Touma that "It felt like the appendix. The medication is working, so don't worry about me.""

 

All 3: "WHAAT? TOUUMAA!"

 

(bird singing)

 

Touma: "Ah! Sounds like the rain finally stopped."

 

All 3: "TOUUUUMAAAAA!"

 

Touma: "Then, Shin, let's go and get your appendix."
