>Enough, leave him be
[Kuroto]
“............... Well, whatever. He'll probably come back eventually.”
[Kuroto]
“.........but, what should I do? I'm awake now.”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm?”
[Kurotaka]
“.........oh? Don't tell me I woke you up?”
[Kuroto]
“No, I just woke up now. You need something?”
[Kurotaka]
“It's nothing serious, but.........all my possessions are here. I came to grab a book.”
[Kuroto]
“.........a book?”
[Kurotaka]
“Uuuh.........ooh, there it is, there it is. It's that one there.”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm? Which?”
[Kurotaka]
“The one you're using as a pillow.”
[Kuroto]
“What?”
[Kuroto]
“.........sorry.”
[Kurotaka]
“No, no, sorry, but could you use that dictionary instead, until I finish reading this one anyway.”
[Kuroto]
“Yeah, here.”
[Kurotaka]
“Thank you. But, won't you have nightmares if you use this sort of book as pillow?”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm? Why?”
[Kurotaka]
“It's a collection of stories about bloodthirsty murderers. It's an inventory of stories that fit the trifecta of dark, long, and stressful, plus it isn't very interesting.”
[Kuroto]
“.....................You like those sort of stories?”
[Kurotaka]
“No, I don't really like them per se, but.........it kills time since it's long, that's the only reason I like it.”
[Kuroto]
“You may as well read something more interesting though.”
[Kurotaka]
“Of course every once in a while I find a book that's interesting. But, well, basically as long as it passes the time, anything is fine.”
[Kuroto]
“.........you have that much free time?”
[Kurotaka]
“More than I know what to do with. But, I've been rather busy that past twenty something years.........thanks to you.”
[Kuroto]
“.................speaking of which, just how old are you? I feel like you're way too young to be something like a parent to me.”
[Kurotaka]
“Hmmm, I'm certainly not as young as I look.”
[Kuroto]
“.........what?”
[Kurotaka]
“Honestly, I don't really remember. It's pointless to keep counting after so many years.”
[Kuroto]
“..................You're not human?”
[Kurotaka]
“Well yeah. Because of that, my greatest difficulty has been finding ways to kill time.”
[Kuroto]
“So, why did you raise me?”
[Kurotaka]
“.........well, there were various reasons.”
[Kuroto]
“I don't know what you mean by that.”
[Kurotaka]
“To start with, it's my job to protect you, I suppose that was one part of it.”
[Kurotaka]
“.........your job.........?”
[Kurotaka]
“Besides, I promised.”
[Kuroto]
“.........promised?”
[Kurotaka]
“It was a one-sided promise though. It wasn't like anyone told me to. …......I suppose it was for my own satisfaction.”
[Kuroto]
“I don't understand what you're saying at all. Can't you explain it in an easier to understand way?”
[Kurotaka]
“I promised your mother. To raise you properly. It was the first time I ever promised something to a human other than you.”
[Kuroto]
“..................my mother.........?”
[Kurotaka]
“Fufu, it's strange. I can't believe I'm telling you this in your current state. I never told you about this before.”
[Kuroto]
“.....................”
[Kurotaka]
“It doesn't seem to have returned, has it? Your memory.”
[Kuroto]
“..................no.........”
[Kurotaka]
“Are you uneasy?”
[Kuroto]
“.........of course.”
[Kurotaka]
“I see. Well, that's probably true.”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm?”
[Kurotaka]
“Well, don't panic. I'm here, and so is that kid, you should try to remember at your own pace.”
[Kuroto]
“.........but, it's awkward for you guys, isn't it? I've forgotten who you all are.”
[Kurotaka]
“Well, it is a little lonely not being able to share our various memories together, but it's also true that I'm not all that upset about it. You haven't changed at all.”
[Kuroto]
“.........somehow, I feel sorry for myself before I lost my memories.........”
[Kurotaka]
“What are you talking about, they're both you, aren't they?”
[Kurotaka]
“Now then, it'll be morning soon, if you're feeling up to it, why don't we eat? That child should be returning soon as well.”
[Kurotaka]
“Even though there's a lot we need to talk about, we won't be able to have an upfront conversation on empty stomachs.”
[Kuroto]
“Come to think of it, we didn't eat anything yesterday in the end. My stomach doesn't seem to be feeling well.........”
[Kurotaka]
“The kitchen is next door to this room, so use it as much as you like. It may be somewhat dusty, but I doubt it'll be a problem.”
[Kurotaka]
“Aah, I'll provide the ingredients, so you don't have to worry about that.”
[Kuroto]
“.........I-I'm cooking?”
[Kurotaka]
“You don't want to cook? …......don't tell me you...”
“............... Well, whatever. He'll probably come back eventually.”
[Kuroto]
“.........but, what should I do? I'm awake now.”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm?”

[Kuroto]
“Well, whatever, I'll cook. I have a bad feeling about leaving it to you or Hanashiro.”
[Kurotaka]
“How rude, I'm not going to cook things I can't eat! I don't cook them to begin with!”
[Kuroto]
“.........don't brag about that sort of thing.”
[Kurotaka]
“That's what men eat. Things like raw meat, raw meat and raw meat.”
[Kuroto]
“Don't eat it raw!”
[Kurotaka]
“Hahahahaha, now, now. Well then, I look forward to having your home cooked meals after so long.”
[Kuroto]
“...............jeez........”
[Kuroto]
“.........what should I make........”
[Kurotaka]
“........................”
[Kurotaka]
“It really is fun. Playing house.”
