To Heart 2: True Ending

I see her as a girl.

“Do you love Konomi?”

Finally, a proper answer… YES!

“If you realized it that way, I have nothing else to say.”

“Ok, hurry up and follow her.”

“The answer is already in you, do you still have worries?”

“If you worry too much, just say “I love you” before today ends.”

Tamaki…

“What?”

Thank you.

“Do your best, boy.”

I run through all streets, trying to find Konomi.

Back in the cafe:

Yuji “Is this okay that he left?”

Tamaki “It’s okay, they are really a troubled pair.”

Chie “Hmm..”

Michiru “Hah…”

Chie “It feels like we’ve seen something huge… hm.. hey wait! Where are you going?”

Michiru “Nowhere important.”

Chie “Don’t lie, you wanna peek at them?”

Michiru “Oof.”

Chie “You…”

Tamaki “You two…”

Chie “HAH!”

Tamaki “I feel like drinking tea and relieve myself. You girls wanna join?”

Both “Okay!”

(Streets)
I’m still running…

I ran to Konomi’s house to see if she’s there.

Konomi’s mother greeted me. She says that Konomi went away to walk Genjimaru.

I said thanks to her and ran again, trying to find Konomi anywhere…

Anywhere…

Well I was about to give up when…

(Riverside)

There she is.

“What will I do?”
“Nee, what do you think Genjimaru?”
“I got refused by Taka-kun again…”
“Konomi is just like a sister, he said…”
“Genjimaru, what can I do?”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a sad howl)

“Thank you.”
“You’re kind, Genjimaru.”
“But… it’s okay.”
“Being like a sister means we can still be together, that’s why, it’s okay.”
“I would not like it more if I couldn’t be with Taka-kun anymore.”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a hopeful howl)

“Taka-kun, did he eat the ice cream?”
“Me leaving just like that, is he angry?”
“But, since it’s Taka-kun, if I say sorry he’ll forgive me right?”
“What is not good?”
“Me being uncute is not good?”
“Is it me eating too much?”
“Is it wrong to be taller than before?”
“But, Taka-kun seems to like girls with bigger chests…”
“But, Konomi too, I have grown you know…”
“Just a little bit though.”
“Drinking milk, eating healthy food, so that I can’t lose with Tama-oneechan…”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of an agreeing howl)

“If I would be like Tama-oneechan, would Taka-kun take notice of me?”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a questioning howl)

“eh.. hehe… I sound like an idiot isn’t it?”
“I knew I couldn’t be like Tama-oneechan at all.”
“Besides, even if I do, I still would not know what to do.”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a sad howl)

“No… I knew I couldn’t.”
“I couldn’t think of not having Taka-kun with me.”
“Is being cute not enough for Taka-kun?”
“Always being cute is not good?”
“I love Taka-kun.”
“I’m helplessly in love with him.”

Yuji “Well, believing on me or not depends on you. Just don’t regret later.”

“Why did I feel like this…”
“It wasn’t like this before.”
“I know I like Taka-kun a lot back then…”
“But, this troubling feeling in my heart wasn’t there before.”
“It hurts, my heart hurts…”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a sad howl)

“It’s okay…”
“It’s okay, it can still go on like before.”
“Like before, I can still be Taka-kun’s childhood friend…”

Genjimaru “?”

Genjimaru seems to notice me listening to Konomi!

“T… Taka-kun?”
“You… heard?”
“That was, that was wrong…”
“That was all a lie!”
“It’s a joke!”

I try to explain…

“I don’t want to hear!”
“I don’t want to hear!”
“Konomi is Konomi”
“I’m the Konomi who’s always together with Taka-kun.”
“That’s why… from now on, we’ll still be together right?”
“It’s okay to be together right?”

She makes a run for it, so I chase her. Genjimaru runs along.

I remember a scene where a child Konomi is trying to keep up with me…

I think she ran so fast, I am unable to keep up. I slipped and fell.

“Taka-kun?”
“Taka-kun!”
“Taka-kun, are you okay?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Flash back.

“Wait… waaaaaiiiitt!!!!”

Why are you crying?

“Taka-kun runs so fast…”

I’m gonna leave you now…

“Nooo! Don’t leave me!!!” Crying.

After a while, I came back and held her hand.

“Ehhee~”

“Taka-kun…”
“Taka-kun?”
“Are you alright?”

By this point…

CONFESSION! (Honestly, I don’t know how this goes, just assume that Takaki already said “I love you Konomi” ok?)

Why are you surprised?
“Eh… but… it’s not like that.”
“But… why?”
“That… but Taka-kun. You said I’m just a childhood friend…”
That was back then.
“Back then?”
But now it’s different.
“B-B-B-but! I have small chest…” (!)
I don’t care about that. (is Takaki lolicon?)
“Taka-kun…”
“I was really happy, that you came for me…”
“Back then, when we were kids, when I was about to cry, you were always there holding my hand.”
“That’s why I thought you will come for me again.”

“Taka-kun, from now on, can I be by your side always?”
Of course.
“As a childhood friend?”
Not anymore.

Konomi seems very, very happy!

“What will I do? I’m so happy, I don’t know what I am doing anymore!”

(By this point, Konomi and Takaki should be officially boyfriend-girlfriend)

“Genjimaru, let’s go home.”
“Thank you, Genjimaru.”

Genjimaru “~~~” (a bit of a happy howl)

Why were you thanking Genjimaru?

“Genjimaru was quite worried about me.”

Genjimaru huffs…

“After this, I should meet everyone again…”

“Taka-kun… I… I always have been…”

THE END

EPILOGUE

(Home)

“Good morning Taka-kun!”

I think she’s cooking for me again. You shouldn’t be doing this for me too much.

“I’m fine, we’re lovers already anyway…”

“I’m almost done with this, so just wait ok?”

Apparently Konomi is noticing and doing a lot of service to me.

You really shouldn’t do this.

“It’s okay, as I said we’re lovers already.”

For this, I should give you a prize.

“A prize?”

“So if I do my best I get a prize?”

Well, this is the prize…

This is getting too long, we’re gonna get late.

“Nope, it’s still okay.”

“Besides, I want to feel your energy charging me…”

I wanna stop this…

“Hmph~ Just around 5%. I need 120%…”

Maybe let’s take a nap a bit this way…

“Ok, let’s do. Konomi’s energy comes from liking you so much!”

After a nap… apparently… some trouble… we’re gonna get late!

“Uh… un?”

She’s still groggy…

“Captain… I still need energy? Is there any more?”

“Sorry everyone… Konomi will be leaving with Taka-kun…”

What the heck is she day-dreaming about?

HEY WAKE UP!!!
