Track 2
Hilltop
The chilly night wind whistles through the open air.
So this is the eastern hilltop that Muu☆tan pointed out.
The chatter of people can be heard.
It appears everyone here watched Muu☆tan’s video and is eagerly awaiting the UFO’s descent.
Yes. But, no matter how huge this crowd gets…
…all we must do is lie in wait for “that moment.”
A brief timeskip occurs.
Ugh, it’s freezing... I should've worn my official Muu☆tan stargazing hoodie...!
Baaaabe, I’m bored~ This sucks. Can we go home already~?
Yeah… Wanna go for some tea at a family restaurant instead?
...
Hey, you two! You’ve been standing out there in the freezing wind like statues for ages! Are you alright?
We’re fine. I already did my research beforehand—this is the spot closest to the sky...
Thus, we have come fully prepared to conduct our observation without moving from this spot.
There is a faint rustle. Raito and Muneuji then reveal just how well-prepared they are for this endeavor.
What the... You’ve got a whole bunch of heat packs placed under your clothes?!
That is not all. We also have food and water to stave off hunger, an emergency power supply...
Along with a guide to decipher alien languages, a gift box of sweets for our extraterrestrial guests, and enough camping gear to last a month.
D-Damn it... These guys are built completely different!
…I’d better call it a night. Next time, I’ll be back with a serious mindset just like you two...!
The wind rushes past once again.
It’s down to just the two of us, then. …I know what I said earlier, but are you really doing alright, Muneuji?
Worry not, Raito-san. I have long been prepared to endure any hardship just to see a UFO.
Besides, a veteran researcher once said, and so I quote: “When you are at a loss, look up at the sky. If you do…”
“...a UFO will definitely appear.” ...Right. All we have to do is believe.
Beep, beep.
Oops, look at the time. 2:00 AM, right on schedule...
...! Raito-san, that’s—!
HAMA House
...In the end, we didn’t get to see a UFO.
Yes... I spotted flickering lights several times, but...they were merely aircrafts of some kind.
Don’t let it get you down. The outcome may have been disappointing, but stargazing with you was fun, Muneuji. Thanks for a great night.
The feeling is mutual… I had a wonderful time with you, Raito-san.
...Um. May I accompany you again on the next occasion?
Of course, of course! I’m positive that we’ll spot a UFO together next ti—!
HAMA House - Entryway
Welcome home.
?
You’re pretty late, aren’t you? Even though I received a message on my phone saying you’d return “as soon as possible”...
Taking a minor out and staying out until dawn is nothing to be proud of.
You there—the one called Kitakata Raito. Mind explaining the situation in detail?
.........
......I’m sorry for worrying you.
……I am deeply sorry for making you worry.
