You... Do you

know me?

Of course he's gonna be wary of me

He doesn't know me after all...

Sorry, but I'm in a hurry now.

Okuyasu... My brother has a fever...

The nearest hospital is already closed so...

I have to quickly bring him to the hospital in the next town.

You're going there, now?

It's almost night, you know.

You can even catch a cold then...

But... Okuyasu...

He seems to be in pain, so I...

Just rest well for tonight. You can go to the hospital tomorrow if he's still feverish by then,

okay?

Let's go to drugstore to buy medicine, after that go home, alright?

You have anything you want to eat, Okuyasu-kun?

Mm...

Apples...

I want bunny apples...

We should buy apples too then!

Hey, you...!

Who are you anyway!

I can't just ask someone I don't even know to buy things for us... Besides our home is...

I'm just a friend of Okuyasu-kun.

Of course I know about you too.

Though maybe you haven't known me yet.

Um...!

Yeah?

Teach me... how to make bunny apples.

Dad should be able to do it too, but...

He's not around so...

So...Um...

I see. So around this age...

They only had each other as family.
