When the Evening Sky Cleared Event Story Episode 3: The Place where Ran and Moca Belong
~ The Place where Ran and Moca Belong ~
(Ran starts getting unhappy with many things and the trigger is not Moca and the rest..?
How does she deal with it then?)
Mitake household
Ran's father: Ran, today, the school contacted me. They said that you haven't been attending classes.
Ran: That is... I didn't feel too well...
Ran's father: They mentioned that you weren't in the infirmary either. I can't commend on your behavior
of playing truant then lying to your parents...
Ran's father: It's a student's job to study. You better attend classes properly from tomorrow onward. Got
it?
Ran: Yes......
Ran: ......
*flashback*
Student 1: Mitake-san is really a little scary right.
Student 2: She's a little unapproachable.
*flashback ends*
Ran: (I can't possibly say that I'm on the roof because I feel like I don't belong in the classroom.)
Ran: (Besides, I can't discuss about having no place of belonging to Moca and the rest...... What should I
do?)
Ran: I see.....!
The next day
Haneoka Girls' High School, Sophomore Class 2-A
Teacher: Hm~ Then let's start from where we left off yesterday. Turn your book to page 54......
Ran: ......
Ran: (Shout out... feelings......)
Ran: (The coldness in you... Passion..)
Teacher: ..........-san... Mitake-san!
Ran: Y-Yes.
Teacher: Are you listening to class? It's good that you are passionate about learning but make sure you
pay attention in class too.
Ran: I-I'm sorry......
Ran: (I... I have something I want to do more than listening to classes......!)
Hanegaoka Girls' High School, Sophomore Class 2-B
Himari: I have club activities today so I;m going off now! See you------!
Tomoe: And I have taiko practice for the festival at the shopping district. Tsugumi, don't you have a student council meeting? Sorry Moca, but can you look at how Ran is doing?
Tsugumi: I'm sorry......
Moca: Yeah yeah. Roger. See you guys------
Ran: Hm... I can't think of any good way to phrase this... Hm...
Moca: Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan..........?
Ran: ......
Moca: (She's writing something......? I wonder if she's drawing? I should get closer to peek at it.)
Ran: ......
Moca: ......
Moca: Ran------
Ran: Wha---?! M-Moca?!
Moca: What are you writing~?
Ran: T-This is... No!!
Moca: "Shout out this feeling Until your voice becomes hoarse This is where I belong (Stage)" "Tip those
cold feelings in you into the mass of red passion." .....?
Ran: ~~~~~~!!
Moca: "The shout that reaches no one (my feelings) turns to nothing in the dusk sky"
Ran: Return it!!!!
Moca: "The cold concrete My passion (pathos)" ......
Ran: Stop! Don't read beyond that!
Moca: Ran~ What's this?
Ran: Actually......
Moca: Putting your own feelings into a poem and using it as a form of release? Oh, oh, I see~
Ran: But it's still embarrassing to but it into words so...
Moca: No no, This is a good poem that conveys your feelings~
Moca: I'm good at the language and literature, especially the questions about the feelings of the author
so~ I can feel what you are feeling from this, you know~?
Ran: Don't tease me......!
Moca: No, I'm being serious. Ran, you're having a tough time too. But there's no need to be embarrassed
about this------
Ran: Eh?
Moca: If it's me, I'll just say "This is tough I can't take it anymore"
Moca: But, Ran-chan, you can put your emotions into a poem like this, right?
Ran: Moca......
Moca: So I think you can just continue writing poems like this from now on too.
Ran: Yeah...... Thanks
Moca: But we would still like you to confide in us sometimes~
Ran: Did you say something?
Moca: Nope, just talking to myself~
Ran: Didn't you say you were good at Japanese just now? Yet you don't write any poems?
Moca: Being good at reading doesn't mean I'm good at writing~ You really don't understand that part.
Ran: Yeah yeah, if you say so.
Moca: (Even if I didn't exactly help Ran out just now, bu if that note gives her a little happiness and fun,
then surely that's something good for me and definitely for her too, right?)
Moca: (But...... I'm always the one who is the closest to her. Maybe I'm the one who is sad?)
Moca: (Someday, if I can help Ran out... That would be great.)
