Chapter 3 - Childhood memories
Maya : I see, so Hazawa-san said something like that. Speaking of that, such thing did happen before.
Eve : Eh? You know about it, Maya-san??
Maya : Yes. When I'm practicing with the drama club, Hina-san comes to our club room and shows me the questionnaire.
Maya : She looks so happy while showing me each of the questionnaires---
Maya : Hm? Come to think of it... I get the feeling that Hina-san said Rururun♪ at that time...
Aya : Eh!? Maya-chan, Is that true...!?
Maya : Y, Yes, probably...if my memories serve me right...
Eve : We did it! This is our first info about Rururun♪!
Chisato : We finally have some clue to move forward. But, we still need more information if we want to understand Rururun♪ more.
Aya : Then, let's recall if there any times Hina-chan said Rururun♪ when she is with us!
Eve : That's a good idea! Just like Maya-san, we could probably remember something too!
Aya : Let see~, The time Hina-chan said Rururun♪... Rururun♪...Hmmm~...
Chisato : ...Not good. I have so many memories with Hina-chan, but I don't remember Hina-chan ever said Rururun♪.
Eve : Fufufu.
Maya ? Eve-san?
Eve : Ha!? I- I'm sorry! How impolite of me to laugh while everyone is thinking something serious.
Maya : It's not like that. I just wonder if you remember something.
Eve : That... When I recall my memories with Hina-san, it also makes me recall many memories with Pasupare...
Aya : Ah, Me too! We have so many memories together~.
Eve : That really makes me happy. Somehow, it makes me glad that we're Pasupare.
Maya : We're Pasupare, huh. Fuhehe... Even though it's something obvious, but it still has a nice ring to it.
Chisato : Fufu, Everyone? Our conversation has gone off the rail, you know.
Aya : Ah... Sorry, Chisato-chan.
Chisato : You don't need to apologize. But, because we're Pasupare, if we can't give Hina-chan the choco present that she wants, it will be bad, right?
Maya : You're right, then let's go back to the topic! If no one can remember anything, that's mean we could only ask other people if Hina-san ever said Rururun♪ in front of them.
Aya : Other people, huh. Is there someone we can ask~... Ah, There is! Someone who knows Hina-chan more than anyone!
Chisato : Someone who knows Hina-chan more than anyone? Who is it---
== The next day ==
== Family restaurant ==
Sayo : I see, so you want to give Hina a choco present.
Sayo : I understand the situation. Sorry for the inconvenience that Hina caused you. I already told her to refrain from explaining something just based on her feeling or sense alone...
Maya : A, Ahaha... But, something like that is what makes us more motivated to do this.
Sayo : I'm happy that you say that. Then, what did you want to ask me?
Chisato : We want to know about Hina-chan's Rururun♪.
Sayo : Ru, Rururun?
Eve : Yes! We want to know what makes Hina-san Rururun♪.
Sayo : I- Is that so. Rururun♪ is it...
Aya : Sayo-chan, please! We can only ask Sayo-chan about this!
Sayo : ...Haa. I understand. But to be honest, I also don't know what makes Hina Rururun♪.
Eve - Aya : Eh!?
Sayo : Certainly, I heard Hina said Rururun♪ many times already, but to be honest I don't know the exact reason why Hina says it.
Chisato : Really. Even Sayo-chan.
Sayo : I'm sorry I couldn't be any help. But, I don't know if this will help you or not, but I remember something that could become a hint.
Eve : What is it!? Sayo-san please tell us!
Sayo : I understand. When we're still a child, for our summer homework, we were told to draw a picture of our family.
Aya : Ah, How nostalgic! I remember that. I ask my mother to become the model~.
Sayo : Yes, at first I also want to ask my mother to become the model. But then, Hina suggests that we draw each other, so in the end, I draw Hina and Hina draw me.
Aya : Hee~, So you draw each other, you both get along well since childhood.
Sayo : I wonder about that. Anyway, Hina is the one who gets to draw first, and not long after she started, Hina finished her drawing.
Sayo : As for me, I just can't get the drawing right... at that time, deep in my heart, I'm afraid that Hina would say that she's tired of becoming the model.
Chisato : Certainly, I can imagine Hina-chan being bored halfway and started to move.
Sayo : Yes. But, the weird thing is, she just stood there motionlessly, waiting for me patiently until I finished my drawing.
Sayo : Then, after I finished my drawing and show it to her, her eyes lit up and she said [I want this drawing that Onee-chan's make with all of your heart].
Aya : Eh? Even though it's for summer homework?
Sayo : Yes, I need to give it to the teacher, so of course, I refuse her. But even so, she still insisted. So I promise to give her the drawing after I get it back from the teacher.
Sayo : Then, just like I promise, I give it to her and she keeps it in her desk.
Sayo : It's something that I make for homework, so I don't think too much about it. But to Hina, it's something priceless.
Eve : So Hina-san becomes really happy when she received Sayo-san's drawing! I wonder what happens to that drawing? I want to see it!
Sayo : I wonder... it's been a long time since that, so it's probably in the closet by now.
Sayo : Anyway, I'm sorry that it took so long, but that's all I remember.
Maya : ...
Aya : Sayo-chan, thank you for telling us such a wonderful story! I hope we could also make Hina-chan happy!
Sayo : Fufu, Hina is really blessed. She has this many people who think dearly about her.
Sayo : Everyone, please take care of Hina from now on too.
