*Rainy season.*
**[00:04] Taka**
*When the rain keeps falling like this,*
**[00:06] Taka**
* it's fun to read while*
* listening to that sound.*
**[00:14] Taka**
* Using the information the*
* author has provided,*
**[00:17] Taka**
* the reader can supplement*
* the imagery and sounds.*
**[00:21] Taka**
* Eventually, the unwavering concentration*
* makes the sound of rain fade out.*
**[00:26] Taka**
* I believe that it's the same*
* when it's sunny out, too.*
**[00:31] Taka**
* "Kaori took that object much bigger*
* than herself into her arms and..."*
**[00:36] Taka**
* "Kaori took that object much*
* bigger than herself into her..."*
**[00:44] Taka**
*I read the same line again.*
***SIGN*** #13
Reunion
**[02:19] Taka**
* I admire the ability to enthrall others*
* with just text on a page.*
**[02:24] Taka**
*I feel like there was someone with that ability around me in the past...*

**[02:38] (Flashback) Taka**
"Novel"...
**[02:40] (Flashback) Moto**
Yeah, remember?
**[02:43] (Flashback) Moto**
It took longer than expected,
**[02:45] (Flashback) Moto**
but I'm glad I managed to fulfill my
promise before switching schools.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Moto**
It's the first one I've written.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Moto**
Takayuki, I want you to be my first reader.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Moto**
Let me know what you think
after you've read it.
**[03:00] (Flashback) Mom**
Oh, you'll have to miss school.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Mom**
Isn't today the day someone from
your class is switching schools?
**[03:08] Taka**
*Motoharu...*
**[03:09] (Flashback) Mom**
It's too bad,
**[03:11] (Flashback) Mom**
but hopefully you'll be able
to see them again someday.
**[03:14] Taka**
*I need to tell Motoharu what I thought...*
**[03:19] SOuta**
Mima.
**[03:21] SOuta**
Mima!
**[03:24] SOuta**
You haven't put any money in.
***SIGN*** No sugar With sugar
**[03:28] Souta**
Mima...
**[03:29] Souta**
It's not like this is
unusual, but what's up?
**[03:32] Taka**
Oh, nothing.
**[03:33] Souta**
Are you nervous about today's meeting?
**[03:35] Souta**
I guess you've been so into it that you've
been devouring all of his past works.
**[03:41] Souta**
Keep in mind that this is about promoting
your favorite author's movie adaptation,
**[03:44] Souta**
so don't freeze up, and stay excited.
**[03:50] Taka**
*Igarashi Motoharu-sensei...*
***SIGN*** The Lost Diary
Igarashi Motoharu
The novel from the hottest author Igarashi Motoharu
soon to be a feature film!!
**[03:53] Taka**
* An author I've really gotten into*
* because of this upcoming project.*
**[03:57] Taka**
* The name feels familiar to me,*
* as though I've seen it before.*
**[04:07] Moto**
I'm sorry, Shirakawa-chan.
**[04:10] Shira**
Igarashi-sensei.
**[04:15] Shira**
Geez. When you didn't show up, I started to think something had happened.
**[04:20] Shira**
I can't believe you went to the wrong place!
**[04:21] Moto**
I'm sorry.
**[04:22] Moto**
I'm not from Tokyo, so go easy on me.
**[04:25] Moto**
You're mad again today, huh?
**[04:27] SHira**
I'm not mad!
**[04:28] SHira**
I was worried!
**[04:30] Moto**
Oh.
**[04:31] Shira**
What is it?
***SIGN*** Tada!
Like this
***SIGN*** Shirakawa-chan is mad again today!
The long-awaited first volume!!
I can't take it anymore!
She's fuming again today!
**[04:32] Moto**
That sounded like a title for a manga.
***SIGN*** Tada!
***SIGN*** Rolls off the tongue
**[04:35] Moto**
Rolls off the tongue.
**[04:36] Shira**
Is that something that warrants stopping?
**[04:38] Shira**
You always do things your own way!
**[04:40] Moto**
Thank you.
**[04:41] Shira**
That was not a compliment!
**[04:45] Souta**
I look forward to working with you today.
**[04:49] Souta**
Was the rain not too bad?
**[04:50] Shira**
No, it happened to stop
right as we were coming here.
**[04:55] Taka**
My name is Mima. I will
be handling your project.
**[04:59] Taka**
It's nice to meet you.
**[05:01] Taka**
I'm actually a fan of
yours, Igarashi-sensei,
**[05:04] Taka**
so it's an honor to meet you.
**[05:05] Moto**
Oh, thank you.
**[05:10] Souta**
Please have a seat.
**[05:12] Shira**
Thank you.
**[05:14] Taka**
*Igarashi Motoharu-sensei...*
***SIGN*** Blank
***SIGN*** Blank
**[05:19] Taka**
*He's younger than expected.*
**[05:22] Taka**
*I thought he'd be way older.*
***SIGN*** The Lost Diary
Movie adaptation promotion proposal
Visual advertisements targeted at worried young age-group
**[05:24] Taka**
Then I'll jump right in.
**[05:26] Taka**
Igarashi-sensei, we've heard that you're
prepared to write something for the movie website.
**[05:32] Taka**
Our company is preparing everything
accordingly to make that as impactful as possible.
**[05:37] Taka**
We've already drawn up a plan,
**[05:40] Taka**
but the aim for today's meeting was to
get your thoughts and requests first.
**[05:47] Sout**
Ah, so the book takes place
in Tokyo and Kanagawa.
**[05:52] Sout**
Do you have any ties to Kanagawa, then?
**[05:55] Moto**
I just spent some time
living there as a child.
**[05:58] Sou**
I see.
**[06:00] Sou**
Speaking of Kanagawa,
**[06:02] Sou**
our Mima here comes from there.
**[06:04] Taka**
Oh, right.
**[06:05] Moto**
Ah, I had sort of sensed that.
**[06:09] Taka**
*It's absolutely certain now!*
**[06:11] Taka**
*I knew it, Igarashi-sensei is...*
***SIGN*** Boom
**[06:14] Taka**
*An amazing writer!*
**[06:16] Taka**
*Did he figure it out by the way I talked?*
**[06:19] Taka**
* Are writers just that*
* good at observing people?*
***SIGN*** Leave psychology to me
**[06:22] Moto**
Leave psychology to me.
***SIGN*** Hahaha
***SIGN*** Simply the gaze of a fanboy
**[06:31] Moto**
Mima-san, are you...
**[06:33] Moto**
twenty-seven years old?
**[06:35] Taka**
Huh?
**[06:36] Taka**
I am, but is that written anywhere?
**[06:40] Moto**
It isn't.
**[06:42] Moto**
Did you perhaps go to Hayama Grade School?
**[06:44] Taka**
Huh?
**[06:45] Taka**
You possess incredible insight.
**[06:47] Taka**
That is correct.
**[06:49] Moto**
Do you remember your teacher, Tanaka-sensei?
**[06:52] Taka**
From which grade?
**[06:53] Moto**
Fourth grade.
**[06:54] Taka**
Ah, yes, I remember.
**[06:57] Moto**
Back then, you read all the books from
the library you wanted to read.
**[07:01] Taka**
Huh?
**[07:02] Taka**
Even that?
**[07:03] Taka**
How can you know all that?
**[07:05] Moto**
I wonder how.
**[07:07] Taka**
You're like a truth teller!
**[07:10] Moto**
I haven't even used half my power.
**[07:13] Both**
*Don't they just know each other?*
***SIGN*** Boom
**[07:17] Taka**
So, this is what the new novel will
look like when viewed on a smartphone.
**[07:23] Taka**
This is an old example.
***SIGN*** 20th anniversary made possible by you!
Bake! That Bread Monster!
**[07:27] Sou**
*You're showing something totally unrelated!*
***SIGN*** Bake! That Bread
**[07:31] Moto**
BreadMon?
**[07:35] Taka**
Oh, my apologies.
**[07:37] Taka**
During my break I saw that it
was the 20th anniversary,
**[07:41] Taka**
so I checked the page out of nostalgia.
**[07:43] Taka**
I'm sorry.
**[07:44] Shira**
That's fine.
**[07:45] Shira**
I'm of that age, too.
**[07:47] Shira**
Brings back memories.
**[07:49] Moto**
It was a trend at school to collect
the free stickers that came with bread
**[07:52] Moto**
on the notebook underlays.
**[07:53] Taka**
Oh, right. That was a thing.
**[07:56] Taka**
That's so nostalgic.
**[07:57] Moto**
Mima-san, I believe you liked the
sandwich bread monsters, right?
**[08:02] Taka**
You even know that kind of detail.
**[08:04] Moto**
Indeed I do.
**[08:05] Both**
*Yeah, they totally know each other.*
**[08:08] Sou**
*I wonder if Mima has realized that, though.*
**[08:11] Taka**
Oh, here is the actual example I mentioned.
**[08:14] Taka**
Our company has helped with the promotion
of a movie adaptation before, so...
**[08:18] Sou**
*Either way, he is unusually excited.*
**[08:23] Taka**
Man, I was really nervous about meeting
Igarashi-sensei for the first time.
**[08:28] Sou**
You're kidding, right?!
**[08:30] Sou**
You totally know each other!
**[08:32] Taka**
I did indeed have a friend
with the same name.
**[08:35] Sou**
That is totally him!
**[08:37] Sou**
It's a touching reunion!
**[08:39] Sou**
So, did anything stand out?
**[08:42] Taka**
Anything that stood out...
**[08:45] Taka**
He has a similar writing style as
that childhood friend of mine.
**[08:50] Sou**
After all this, that's what you noticed?!
**[08:55] Shira**
Igarashi-sensei!
**[08:56] Shira**
So you knew Mima-san from before?
**[08:59] Moto**
Just a bit, long ago.
**[09:01] Moto**
Maybe he was just being dense as usual...
**[09:05] Moto**
or maybe he forgot already.

It's the first one I've written.
***SIGN*** By Igarashi Motoharu
**[09:12] (Flashback) Moto**
Takayuki, I want you to be my first reader.
**[09:17] Taka**
Was that actually him?
**[09:21] Moto**
Either way,
**[09:22] Moto**
considering the chance to
form bonds more easily,
**[09:25] Moto**
Tokyo with its many people...
is quite exciting.
