Yuugana mujintou e youkoso Event Story/Chapter 3

	*creak*
Runa:	Excuse us. Is someone here?
Takamichi:	C- Can we just come in without asking?
Runa:	That's why I'm greeting the residents right now.
Runa:	Takamichi-san, if you stay this close to me it's difficult to walk. I can feel Ricky pressing against my back.
Takamichi:	S- Sorry...
Runa:	You're squeezing Ricky so tightly, are you this frightened?
Takamichi:	I'm absolutely not! I don't want to lose Ricky, so I'm just holding him very securely!
Runa:	Then let's just leave it at that.
Runa:	Excuse us! ... There is no reply, it seems.
Takamichi:	The door wasn't locked as well, maybe the house is abandoned.
Runa:	But isn't it way too clean for it to be abandoned? Even the corners are dusted off.
Takamichi:	That's certainly true, and the furniture is also in very good shape.
Runa:	And it's very cool inside the mansion. I wonder if they have air conditioning installed.
Takamichi:	There's proof that someone's living here, huh. Alright, let's try to call them once more.
Takamichi:	Excuse u--
???:	What business may you have here...?
Takamichi:	Uwaaaaah!
Runa:	Takamichi-san...
Old butler:	Have guests arrived?
Runa:	We're really sorry for stepping in without permission. We had a ship accident and got separated from our companions.
Old butler:	...
Runa:	We fell from the ship during a storm. Luckily, we drifted ashore on this island, but we're having trouble with getting in contact with our companions.
Old butler:	...
Runa:	(The butler has just been staring into the distance. Suddenly visiting the mansion really turned out to be a bad idea after all.)
Runa:	Uhm...?
Old butler:	Tsukiko-sama...?
Runa:	Huh?
Old butler:	No, it's nothing. A ship accident, I see, that must have been horrible.
Old butler:	Please don't hold back, take your time and rest.
Runa:	Thank you very much. You're a big help.
Old butler:	Uhm... Excuse my bad manners, but can I ask you of your names?
Runa:	I'm sorry for not having introduced us yet. My name is Runa Kagurazaka. And the man that was trembling earlier next to me is--
Takamichi:	I wasn't trembling! ... *cough* I'm Takamichi Sanzenin.
Old butler:	Runa-sama, Takamichi-sama... I see. I am the butler of this mansion, my name is Kanzaki.
Kanzaki:	Please take a rest first. Then I can lend you the phone.
Takamichi:	Thanks. We'll try to call them after we've dried our clothes.
Runa:	That's right. Kanzaki-san, can we borrow some towels?
Kanzaki:	Yes, I will serve you right away.
	***
Takamichi:	... The phone call isn't going through? There isn't even a beeping tone.
Kanzaki:	Maybe something happened to the radio tower during the storm.
Takamichi:	Really...
Runa:	That's troubling. Everyone should be really worried, not knowing whether we are safe or not.
Kanzaki:	The radio tower has not been destroyed, it should get restored before long.
Kanzaki:	As soon as the signal reaches again, I will arrange to prepare a boat for you.
Takamichi:	I see. There's no other way, so please do.
Kanzaki:	Until then, would you take the time to listen to the story of an old man?
Runa:	Of you?
Kanzaki:	Yes. I hope this is not a bother for you.
Runa:	I don't mind. How about you, Takamichi-san?
Takamichi:	We can't leave this island right now anyway, so if you'd like, we can stay to chat with you.
Runa:	Yes! I thought you would say so.
Kanzaki:	Thank you very much. Then, let me prepare tea.
	***
Kanzaki:	Here, this is hot tea. Please help yourself with sugar or jam as you wish.
Runa:	Thank you very much. Earlier you mentioned the name Tsukiko-san, may I ask you about this woman?
Kanzaki:	Yes, I'm truly sorry for earlier. Tsukiko-sama was the lady I used to serve a long time ago.
Takamichi:	Shouldn't we greet Tsukiko-san then?
Kanzaki:	The lady does not reside in this mansion currently. She went far away, it's not possible to meet her.
Kanzaki:	When Runa-sama stepped in, I believed the lady has made a sudden return.
Runa:	Huh?
Kanzaki:	You look very similar to the lady, Runa-sama. The memories came flooding back for a moment.
Takamichi:	Although there is a reason, I think getting separated from important people to you is very sad...
Runa:	I see...
Takamichi:	What's wrong, Runa?
Runa:	Kanzaki-san. It is rude to ask, but was there something that was left undone between you and Tsukiko-san?
Takamichi:	What are you suddenly talking about?
Runa:	I'm sorry, this is quite similar to the mystery novel I read a while back.
Kanazaki:	Yes, it is just like you say, Runa-sama.
Takamichi:	Re- Really, huh...
Runa:	We still have some time until we can contact the outside.
Runa:	Would you like to think of me as Tsukiko-san and reflect upon what you have left undone?
Kanzaki:	... This offer makes me happy, but would it really not bother you?
Runa:	It's a thanks for taking care of us.
Kanzaki:	Thank you very much. Then I'll gladly take this offer, certainly.
