Welcome back, Bocchan.

NOTE: TL comments are in parenthesis Character Names Translation - Bocchan (坊っちゃん means boy) Yuu (優雨 means gentle rain) Track 1 ----------------------------- *Shoji sliding* (Shoji is a traditional Japanese door that slides sideways) *Wind chimes* *Standing up* … Ah. Oh my. Welcome back, Bocchan. Hehe. *Yuu walks towards Bocchan* Yes, it’s been a while. Have you been well? I see… Ah, I’m glad that I was able to meet you again. Truly, I’m happy. Yes, you’ve grown up, haven’t you? No, I was talking about your height, not body. After not seeing each other for a while, your looks are bound to have changed. Especially for a boy like Bocchan. It’s a shame I can’t watch over you every day, but the fact that you still notice me after you’ve grown up makes me happy. Oh, that’s right. Your clothes are wet. It’s raining after all. Then let’s get you changed. Yeah, Yuu onee-san will help you with it. Go ahead and take off your soaked clothes. *Clothes ruffling, water dripping* I always keep this, your grandfather’s yukata, clean. Did you know that your grandfather, and your father both wore this? Strange, isn’t it? After all, I’ve lived for a long time. Ah, no. I’ve always been here, so it’s quite the unusual feeling. Seeing that I had played with your grandfather, chatted with your father, and stayed with you for this long. We met in this room when you were still very little, and we played together. Now that you’ve come back all growing up, you can wear your grandfather’s yukata. Did you know that your grandfather’s grandfather also wore this? Isn’t that something? Everyone smiled happily when they wore this yukata. I was worried it would be disliked because it was old, but no one seemed to hate it. Come, why don’t we wipe your body down and get you changed? *Standing up* Ah, stop. No, let me. No way, I won’t allow you to say it’s embarrassing. It’s been quite a while since I’ve gotten to see you, so… please? I want to do for you. Here, hand me the towel. Thank you. As I thought, Bocchan is gentle. That’s right, I’m happy. I’m extremely happy that you let me take care of you. Rather than be told “I can do everything by myself,” I’m much happier when you let me spoil you occasionally. Besides, there aren’t many other things that I can do to help Bocchan with. To be honest, be it homework or anything else, I want to go through it with you together, but I don’t understand any of it. *Some movement* Alright. Is everything ok? Are you cold? Is it wet anywhere? Then, let’s put it on. *Clothes rustling* Alright, this side as well. *Clothes rustling* Does it feel strange anywhere? Then, I’ll tie it up. *Tying the Obi* Done. What a wonderful young man. It really suits you. Truly. Even though the yukata belongs to your grandfather’s grandfather, it suits you the most, Bocchan. No need to look so troubled, it was a praise. Now then, come here Bocchan. Yes, here. *Sitting down* Let’s listen to the rain… for a bit, at the veranda instead of inside. The rain today is nice. A gentle sound. Here, come. It’s Yuu’s lap pillow.
