ECPW Chapter 19

VOLUME 4 — WINTER

Chapter 19: To You, I Offer

 

To you, I offer.

 

The season that has come again brings new voices to my heart.

 

“Wait…”

 

Under the warm spring sunlight, amidst the dappled shade of trees, 

 

The small “love” I gave that day spilled from between the pages of the book spread out on my lap, where the dear person who was softly breathing slept.

 

“(— Yes, Shiori-san! This flew over to you!)”

 

“(Thank you.)”

 

I sat frozen on a bench in the hospital courtyard. A young boy, wearing hearing aids, rushed towards me with a  shepherd’s purse in hand,

 

I deciphered his sign language and responded with my own signs. 

 

The silver ring on the ring finger of my left hand sparkled with each movement of my fingers. 

 

As I glanced down, I noticed the same ring gleaming on my beloved’s finger, and a smile involuntarily spread across my face.

 

“(By the way, yesterday, Souma-sensei came to the nurse station to look for you, Shiori-san, and was scolded by the head nurse for being at work!)”

 

“(Hehe, I heard that story from the head nurse too.)”

 

“(Souma-sensei always wants to see you, Shiori-san, that’s why the head nurse was exasperated. By the way… sensei is sleeping soundly, huh?)”

 

“(Yes. Let’s keep it a secret and continue whispering together, so as not to wake him up, okay?)”

 

Placing a finger on my lips, I accepted the shepherd’s purse handed to me by the small hand and smiled… 

 

The boy, seeing the book still open on my beloved’s face as he slept on my lap, tilted his head slightly.

 

“(Hey, hey. Souma-sensei… do you really love that book so much that you read it even while sleeping?)”

 

“(Hehe. Well, who knows. But I do love this book.)”

 

“(Wow, what book is it?)”

 

“Hey, Senpai…”

 

For example, is the sky being a beautiful blue.

 

Or the bud of a flower blooming before you knew it.

 

Or that child who cried yesterday but smiled today.

 

Surely, it was just that I didn’t notice.

 

A world so beautiful that words can’t express it, was always overflowing there.

 

“What’s wrong, Shiori?”

 

But the world I came to know after meeting you.

 

Is so beautiful that it can’t be expressed in words.

 

Transient,

 

Painful,

 

Unbearably kind…

 

It was a very warm day.

Your love brings color to my world.
