Overhearing a Flower Song
There's been the sound of a guitar coming from that old school building that we've been barred entry... it's a gentle and soft tune.
pp. 4-5, Shima
It's as if I can see the fingers creating this melody as if I can see the flow of the music.
pp. 9, Shima
Perhaps due to his parents' influence, he has always spoken callously... but he's been especially callous these days.
pp. 26, Noguchi
Because you like it [the guitar], you want to give it your all. But, if you do like it, then you only need to learn to love it.
pp. 39, Fujimura
At least, he's willing to look at me. Even if it's only a little.
pp. 41, Shima
In a single moment, you could lose it forever. No matter how much you care for it.
pp. 46, Fujimura
I know you're in pain, Fujimura-kun, but don't you still have something that you don't want to lose?
pp. 46, Shima
Just how deep has he been hurt?
pp. 48, Shima
Even forgetting that I can't do it... I would want to go do something.
pp. 49, Shima
Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light
I first met him when I was six years old. On a scorching hot summer day, in the forest that legend says is home to many spirits and monsters.
pp. 3, Hotaru
If a human touches me, I'll disappear.
pp. 8, Gin
The minute you go, your heart will become lost. You'll never return home!
pp. 9, Hotaru
Assaulting someone who is sleeping! Children are scary!
pp. 18, Gin
And then I began to long for summertime.
On the arranged date, Gin would be waiting for me.
pp. 20, Hotaru
Gin seemed to be cherished by a lot of the monsters.
pp. 21, Hotaru
Once I touch human skin, the magic will vanish, and I will disappear. I live a very unstable life...
pp. 34, Gin
Heh heh, it's like a date.(It is a date)
pp. 39, Hotaru and Gin
Hotaru... I can't wait for summer anymore. If we separate, even if I have to go through crowds, I'll still want to go and see Hotaru.
pp. 41, Gin
Next year's summer... will definitely... be the last time. This must not be at that place!
pp. 42-43, Hotaru
Come Hotaru, I can finally touch you!
pp. 45, Gin
Thank you. Even though we wanted to be with Gin forever, in the end, Gin wanted to touch other humans.
He could finally be embraced by someone.
pp. 51, yōkai
For now, I won't be able to look forward to the coming of the summer!
My chest hurts... my tears keep falling.
However, the warmth that still remains in my hands, and the memories of the summers, will remain with me forever.
pp. 51-52, Hotaru

I've decided! I'll become a ninja! I'll come to the rescue whenever Kaede is in danger!

This kind of tree is called Iroha Mamoji. It's also called Takao Kaede.

Swirling and falling... swirling and falling... I wanted to close my eyes in deep slumber.
pp. 13, Tsubaki
If you want to keep on worrying me, I will end my friendship with you!What?! What do you mean by that?
pp. 19, Kaede and Tsubaki
Kaede's gentle smile... I haven't seen it in a long time.
pp. 26, Tsubaki
Swirling and falling, feeling dizzy... feeling light-headed. When exactly was it, that I fell in love?

Ritsu, there may be something big happening these days. It's something we've been wishing for, for a long time.

My brother's words are normally straightforward and stern. But in this letter, his words flew and danced about.

Even though the sky was dark, and the night got increasingly cold., as long as I was with my most favorite brother, I think I could go anywhere.
pp. 9, Ritsu
I kept all of the letters you sent me. What?! You should throw away those embarrassing things!
