with him
[Kuroto]
(I barely know anything about myself.)
[Kuroto]
(I suppose there's nothing I can do but go with him for now.)
[???]
“Hey, Kuroto, what’s wrong? You got quiet all of a sudden.”
[Kuroto]
“…Hm?”
[???]
“Huh? …C-cold! What?”
[Kuroto]
“Your bangs are frozen, you know.”
[???]
“...Just about as much as yours, right?”
[Kuroto]
“You were by my side the whole time?”
[???]
“Of course, where would I go without you?”
[Kuroto]
“…”
[Kuroto]
“…Let’s go, then. It’s cold.”
[???]
“…”
[???]
“…Yeah.”
[???]
“It looks like there’s a town if we keep going straight. Let’s eat something yummy there.”
[Kuroto]
“…By the way.”
[???]
“…Hm, what?”
[Kuroto]
“You still haven’t told me what your name is.”
[???]
“Huh, I didn't?”
[Kuroto]
“…Sorry.”
[???]
“Huh?”
[Kuroto]
“For forgetting you.”
[???]
“…”
[???]
“…Hanashiro.”
[Kuroto]
“…Hm?”
[Hanashiro]
“My name.... is Hanashiro, Kuroto.”
[Kuroto]
(I barely know anything about myself.)

[Hanashiro]
“My name.... is Hanashiro, Kuroto.”
The cycle has begun once again.
How many times will it repeat before he is not born?
How many times will it repeat before you return?

“…”
[???]
“…Mistress Shirofukurou!”
[???]
“It’s an emergency, so please pardon my intrusion.”
[???]
“It appears their location has been determined, but…”
[Shirofukurou]
“Oh, Commander Ginshu, I was waiting for you. Please, come toward the reflecting waters.”
[Shirofukurou]
“It was finally able to catch a glimpse of their shadows a little while ago.”
[Ginshu]
“…This is...”
[Shirofukurou]
“Southwest from here, the country of Shi… It's a town called Kako that sits along the river near the country of Tou.”
[Ginshu]
“Hmph, they’re not that far, then… My troops could get there in two days.”
[Ginshu]
“Well, even they can’t travel all that far in this snow.”
[Ginshu]
“All right, just watch. They won’t escape this time!”
[Shirofukurou]
“Do try to avoid any carelessness.”
[Ginshu]
“…Tch, I don’t recall ever being carele—”
[Shirofukurou]
“He's stronger than anyone else in the land. He surpasses even you.”
[Ginshu]
“…Yes, I know.”
[Shirofukurou]
“I’m counting on you, Commander Ginshu. If anyone could bring him back, it would certainly be you.”
[Ginshu]
“…Mistress Shirofukurou.”
[Shirofukurou]
“There is no reason to fret. He really does understand.”
[Shirofukurou]
“…However, he is simply dreaming at the moment.”
[Ginshu]
“…Even so… I won’t forgive him.”
[Shirofukurou]
“…Commander?”
[Ginshu]
“He betrayed the trust of every citizen of our country of Sai. I can never forgive him.”
[Ginshu]
“I'm bringing him back because it's my duty… You may think poorly of me for saying so, though.”
[Shirofukurou]
“…No, Commander Ginshu. That's perfectly fine.”
[Ginshu]
“…Mistress Shirofukurou.”
[Shirofukurou]
“However… he is, of course, a necessary existence to this country—to this world.”
[Shirofukurou]
“I don't need to explain that to you, do I?”
[Ginshu]
“…I know.”
[Shirofukurou]
“I leave it to you, then, Commander Ginshu. The time is drawing ever closer.”
[Shirofukurou]
“And then, soon, even he will remember...”
[Shirofukurou]
“…his purpose.”
[Kuroto]
“…He’s taking a while…”
[Kuroto]
“Just how far did he go?”
[Kuroto]
“He suddenly told me to wait here, then went off somewhere.”
[Kuroto]
“It’s already been an hour. He’s not coming back, is he…”
[Kuroto]
“…Don’t tell me… he left me behind.”
[Kuroto]
“…There's no way…”
[Kuroto]
“Well, actually, if he thought I was a burden or way too much trouble because I lost my memory, he could've possibly…”
[Kuroto]
“…”
[Kuroto]
“I wouldn’t mind either way, but…”
[Kuroto]
“It's not like I'm worried about being left behind. I just can’t stand the idea of being abandoned without finding out anything about myself yet.”
[Kuroto]
“…”
[Kuroto]
“Why am I even making excuses? I don’t even know him that well yet.”
[Kuroto]
“…Tch, damn it. Seriously, how long am I supposed to wait?”
