26 January, Monday

My laptop is kill, so things were a bit delayed. It would take one to three weeks to get that laptop fixed, so for now I am using this really slow desktop to type all this out. It wouldn’t be slow if the motherboard was upgraded to optimise performance with the graphics card attached to it, but alas, all requests for replacement were denied. Since replacement laptops are not forthcoming as well, there is not much that can be done for now.

Incoming notice!

彼女から大事な電話が来ています。必ず取ってあげましょう。

Right… now Manaka has fallen sick. Then again people are falling sick left, right and centre even in meatspace.

During the morning Kenji goes for science class.

健二:クラスで他の誰も解けなかった問題、俺だけ正解だ!絶好調だ!

Your girlfriend would be congratulationg you right now. If she was there.

There seems to be an event in the early afternoon. Something about committee appraisal. Or whatever 評論コンクール is.

健二:前に出した評論コンクールの結果が出てるはずだな…。


健二:だめだ、名前が載ってない…。もっと頑張ったほうがいいかな…。

He visits Manaka during the late afternoon.

健二:(マナカちゃんの具合、どうかな…)


〈コッコッ〉

愛花:はーい!

健二;マナカちゃん。俺だけど。

愛花:うそ?ま、まだダメ…。いいよ、入って。


愛花;健二くん。

健二;ほら、お気持ちがねだろ?なんつって。

愛花:うん、待ってた。

健二:あれ、いつもより素直だな。

愛花:いつも素直だよ?

健二:はは、そうだな。喜んでくれたら、来た甲斐があった。

愛花:こういうの、ちょっとあこがれてたから。病気になると、カレシがお見舞いに来てくれるの。

健二:お見舞いする方は、できれば来ないで済む方がいいんだけどな。

They talk for a while.

健二:あんまり長くいたら、体に悪いよな。そろそろ帰るよ。

愛花:また、来てくれる?

健二:ああ、また来るよ。じゃあな。

Kenji walks out of Manaka’s house.

健二:(マナカちゃん、早くよくなるといいな)

He is no longer in the mood to go out. He stays home for the evening.

Actually, it’s because his wingman is completely tired from his first day at the research institute. He is unable to decide a location for Kenji to go to.

健二:音楽を聴くときに使うコンポ。元々はコンポーネントオーティオの略だから、単品の機器を組みあわせて使うものだったけど、今では最初から全部セットになってるよな。

Kenji goes to sleep.

健二:また一週間は長いな、がんばろ。

He imagines Manaka telling him:

グラッチエグラッチエ
