“That's right, for example.........a story from when you were five.”
[Kurotaka]
“When you were that age, I took you down to the village for the first time, well, it was to give you some lessons about the world.”
[Kurotaka]
“Since you had never seen anyone other than me or the animals of the mountain, you were looking around in wonder with such wide eyes. Yeah, it was really cute.”
[Kuroto]
“Why are you telling me this old story?”
[Kurotaka]
“Now, now, the important part comes after this.”
[Kurotaka]
“As we were going home, you asked me where you came from.”
[Kurotaka]
“Up until now, they only person you had ever had close contact with was me. Finding out that normal children came from a father and a mother gave you quite the shock.”

[Kurotaka]
“Up until now, they only person you had ever had close contact with was me. Finding out that normal children came from a father and a mother gave you quite the shock.”
“You had something like a father, but you didn't have any sort of replacement for a mother.”
[Kuroto]
“.........how is this story important?
I think it's pretty natural not to remember something like this from so long ago.”
[Kurotaka]
“You're so impatient, well, keep listening. This is the best part.”
[Kurotaka]
“After
we had gone home, you asked me about your parents over and over
again.”
[Kurotaka]
“At first, I tried to dodge the question, but since you were asking so sincerely, my mouth finally slipped.”
[Kuroto]
“.........you told me my parents had died?”
[Kurotaka]
[Kurotaka]
“At first, I tried to dodge the question, but since you were asking so sincerely, my mouth finally slipped.”
[Kuroto]
“.........you told me my parents had died?”
[Kurotaka]
“No,
I told you your parents were
bears.”
[Kuroto]
“.........................................................................................”
[Kuroto]
“...............huh?”
[Kurotaka]
“After that, you were so shocked you got quiet. Well, that was pretty funn.........no, it was cute, yeah, yeah.”
[Kuroto]
“.........wait, why bears, why!?”
[Kurotaka]
“Hahaha, the story isn't over yet!”
[Kurotaka]
“You continued to stay quiet after that for a while. Just as I was wondering if you had accepted that, the next day you disappeared.”
[Kuroto]
“.........just what do you think people are........?”
[Kurotaka]
“As expected, I felt bad for overdoing it, but when I found you, you hadn't left home out of shock.”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm?”
[Kurotaka]
“Somehow, you ended up going to the forest to look for your parents! Aah, seeing you look so brave brought tears to my eyes!”
[Kuroto]
“...........................................................................................”
[Kurotaka]
“Well, that was a shock. You really were an honest child who would believe anything, mhmm.”
[Kuroto]
“........wait, I think I remember.........? That was one of the two most terrible memories I wanted to forget.........”
[Kurotaka]
“Oh, what are you talking about, it's such a great story, it's so moving.”
[Kuroto]
“.........you really feel that way.........?”
[Kurotaka]
“Well, afterwards, it certainly felt more like a spectacle, than something moving, but.........”
[Kuroto]
“Enough, I remember, so don't say what happens next!”
[Kurotaka]
“Hahahahaha, why, it gets even better.”
[Kurotaka]
“Wandering around the forest to look for your parents, you finally encountered a bear, so you approached it defenseless, and suddenly the tables turned.”
[Kuroto]
“I told you not to say it!”
[Kurotaka]
[Kuroto]
“.........................................................................................”
[Kuroto]
“...............huh?”
[Kurotaka]
“After that, you were so shocked you got quiet. Well, that was pretty funn.........no, it was cute, yeah, yeah.”

[Kuroto]
“I told you not to say it!”
[Kurotaka]
“Well,
it was dumb to approach a hungry bear who had just awoken from its
hibernation in spring, but it couldn't be helped, you were a
child.”
[Kurotaka]
“Anyway, after rescuing you in a panic, and taking you home, I told you the thing about the bears was a joke while I treated your wounds, and you wouldn't talk to me for a week.”
[Kurotaka]
“As expected, it was pretty lonely, hahahahaha.”
[Kuroto]
“That was when I stopped just accepting whatever you told me.”
[Kurotaka]
“Come to think of it, that was the start of your rebellious phase, mhmm.”
[Kuroto]

[Kurotaka]
“Come to think of it, that was the start of your rebellious phase, mhmm.”
[Kuroto]
“Wrong!”
[Kurotaka]
“Hahaha, there's still more, isn't there?”
[Kuroto]
“...............e-enough, don't say it!”
[Kurotaka]
“How old were you then, I wonder. Since you were worried that I only ate meat, you started to learn how to cook.”
[Kurotaka]
“What's even worse was it became your hobby to learn how to cook vegetables for people who hated them.”
[Kuroto]
“.........what.........?”
[Kurotaka]
“That's right, there's even things like that.”
[Kurotaka]
“The first chicken you ever raised was unusually feisty and would often escape, but you would always find it and bring it back. Even I was surprised by that.”
[Kuroto]
“...............because she was so feisty, she would immediately start clucking, so it made her even easier to find.”
[Kurotaka]
“Even though it was a harsh climate, it certainly had all four seasons, the cherry blossoms blooming in the spring were pretty, weren't they?”
[Kurotaka]
“Because you liked them, we would always go to see them.”
[Kuroto]
“Looking after your drunken self was a pain though.”
[Kurotaka]
“They were all good memories.........you had a pretty good life, didn't you?”
[Kuroto]
“.........Kurotaka.........”
[Kurotaka]
“You're a good kid. You grew this much even while having to shoulder these burdens.”
[Kurotaka]
“Honestly, I was reluctant to raise a human child at first, but.........”
[Kurotaka]
“I did a good job too, didn't I?”
[Kuroto]
“...............I thought it was strange before. Why would you raise me like that?”
[Kuroto]
“You never once asked me what I would do as Kuroto. You merely told me what I was.”
[Kurotaka]
“Since you were given a chance at life, I wanted it to have meaning.”
[Kurotaka]
“Though I think that may have been cruel.”
[Kuroto]
“.........no, it wasn't.”
[Kurotaka]
“.........that's good.”
[Kurotaka]
“Hahaha, there's still more, isn't there?”
[Kuroto]

[Kurotaka]
“So, how is it? Have you remembered now?”
[Kuroto]
“.........hm?”
[Kurotaka]
“How you lost your memory.........about that day.”
[Kuroto]
“...............yes, I've remembered it clearly.”
[Kuroto]
“I ended up trying to run away.........from this world.”
[Kuroto]
“.........from everything.........”
“So, how is it? Have you remembered now?”
