P. 212
MAN
I'd like to submit a name for my child!
YUUTO
{Smiling} Congratulations!
[A girl or a boy?]
MAN
[A boy!]
Anyway, here's the name!
{He showed Yuuto a piece of paper with the name "Kamui" written on
it.}
YUUTO
{look of surprise}
MAN
Could ... could it be that these kanji characters can't be used for
names?
YUUTO
Not at all. It's just that I know a boy with the same name.


P. 213
MAN
What is he like?
YUUTO
... He's having a hard time.
The one he loved passed away.
The one he trusted suddenly turned into a stranger and did horrible
things to him ...
MAN
Does this ... have anything to do with the name ...?
YUUTO
For him, that could be it.
MAN
I'll ... I'll think about it and come back later!
{Dashed for the door.}
YUUTO
At your service, sir.


P. 214
YUUTO
... "Kamui".
It's a good name.
... However, bearing the name of the one destined to take on the fate
of Earth is a sure way to unhappiness.


P. 215
YUUTO
I have to go now.
WOMEN IN THE OFFICE
See you.
YUUTO
{He placed a box of pastries on the table.}
I have some waffles here. Please enjoy the snack during OT.
WOMEN
[Wah!]
Thank you! [heartmark]
YUUTO
See you tomorrow. {wink}
WOMEN
Kigai-san is so wonderful! [heartmark]


P. 216
Somewhere outside, before a fountain.
YUUTO
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[I tried to arrive 10 minutes before the appointed time ...]
SATSUKI
{Smiling} I just arrived.
YUUTO
But that doesn't change the fact that I kept you waiting.
[Next time I'll arrive 20 minutes earlier.]
{The water in the fountain danced around Yuuto.}
SATSUKI
The water seems to like you.
Yuuto-san, your are actually a water master, aren't you?


P. 217
YUUTO
It's more like water tricks.
SATSUKI
Then why are you using other weapons?
YUUTO
That's because it's troublesome.
{It requires a lot of concentration to control water.}
I just thought that If I can settle things without resorting to it,
that would be great.
SATSUKI
... Why did you accept Kanoe's summons?
Is there anything you wish to have or want to do?


P. 218
YUUTO
Nothing. There's nothing at all.
If there's really a fate, it would be good to try and fight against
it.


P. 219
YUUTO
It would also be interesting to see what happens in the end if I just
follow the current of things.
Ahahaha. ... I'm just flippant.


P. 220
YUUTO
Let's go.
[What about Italian for dinner?]
{The water followed the departing Yuuto, as if unwilling to part from
him. He turned his head to look back.}
[To discover my final destiny.]
