The Moon is Like Tapioca ch3

A diary?

Yeah.
I found it while tidying up the room.
It's Yuepin's.

I figured I shouldn't look at it without asking,
but it may contain hints for finding her soul.
Ah, that's true.

I haven't read all of it yet, but it does seem to mention her favorite place.
How about we go there?
Sure, but
where?

p2-3

The ocean!

Mmm~ Gotta love that salty air!

Nothing beat nature, huh?
Yeah~

...

Wanna take some photos?

I haven't taken any pictures myself
since I arrived here.

Let's take some.

Okay, you stand over there.
Eh?

That's not quite
what I meant.

Let's take some together!

Ahaha. Your eyes are half-shut, Yan.

Hey, don't take that so suddenly.
Geez.

Hehe.
? Something smells good.

This is a local specialty.
Wanna eat?

Sure!

Zhà dàn qí yú hēi lún

Is this... fried food?
Eat it while it's hot!

Mm~! Such a gentle flavor!
It's swordfish fish paste with egg.
Tasty, right?
Really tasty!

The fish's flavor is intact too.
Maybe it's because it's fish paste, but I feel kinda relieved...

Even though it's my first time eating it, it feels so nostalgic.

Let's go eat some sashimi later too.
It'll be even more tasty.
Eh?

You can eat sashimi here!?
There's a market nearby.

p10

It's really bustling.
It is noon, after all.

There's so much shellfish and fish.

Ah.

What's with this starfish? It's huge~!
Hey, Yan, check it out!

p11

Eh...?

No way. We got separated?
Yan?

p12

Wh-
What do I do?

Yue!

p13

Geez!
Don't go off on your own like that!

You're like a child!
Uuh~
Yan~

p14

Yan's hand feels so warm and reassuring.

I wonder if she'd let me hold it forever.

Sashimi♪ Sashimi♪
Someone's excited.
I ate a lot of it back in Japan.

Here you go.

p15

Tuna Kama Toro Sashimi

Kya~! It's so glossy!! Looks tasty~!

Let's dig in!

So...
So...

p16

So sweet...!!

The sweet fat melts in your mouth and is crazy delicious...
It's seeping into my very soul~!

Ah, but there's only seven slices in total.
I'll end up finishing it off instantly.

Hey, Yan, can we order some other stuff too?
Hmm, well...

This is a kama toro cut that's really fatty, so I think this amount should be enough.
Let's not order any more.
Eh~...?

p17

In that case,
let's try all sorts of sashimi the next time we're here!

Yeah.
We'll eat that for sure.

Okay~

p18

Now that we've filled our stomachs,
let's look around the places in the diary.
Took us long enough.

p19

Hah~...

p20

That got us... nowhere.
Yep~

Hah...
Since we're here and all,

let's paddle in the sea.

Hya~ This feels nice~

...
Hey, Yan?

p21

I'm sorry.

Eh?
It seems I've made you be considerate of me.

I said I would help out,
but I know fully well
that I don't really have much of a role to play.

I don't have a sixth sense, after all.
That's...

p22

Besides, you're in pain too, right, Yan?
Your best friend is dead,
and now she's talking to you as someone else.

...

I'm sorry
that it's me you ended up with.

I...

p23

I see you as-
Hey~

You two over there~
Come back here before it gets dark~

Okay~
Sorry about that~

Sorry.
You were saying?

p24

No.
It's nothing.

Hah~ I'm pooped!

p25

Today was kinda fun.

Why did Yan go so far
to make me feel better?

Did she care for Yuepin?

p26

I wonder what's hurting her.
Guess I'll sleep on it.
