Amaneku Signal ch3

A proposal...
you say?

Yeah.

Are there other aliens on Earth?
Heh?

Like, people from the same planet as you, Sig.
...I think so.

I remember hearing them saying "going to Earth" countless times...
Let's search for them then.
Eh?

Wait... Eh!?
Search for them...?
We're not gonna find any that easily...!! We don't even know if there are any in Japan...!!

Don't worry.
It'll work out okay.
On what basis...!?

I want to find people you know or people who know about your family
and hear what they have to say.

...!? Sorry, I don't understand. Why would you do that...?
There must be some reason they left you behind.
...I don't care anymore...

Then why
were you looking at the sky with such a sad expression?
...!

Th-
That's...

Is there someone you want to see, or something you still have to do?
...

Is it okay to think about stuff like that
even though I've become a family with you, Amane-san...?

...When I look up at space from here,
it all shines so beautifully.
I thought I had cut myself off from it,
but I just...

Of course it's okay!
Ng!
To be honest, I can't forgive them for leaving you behind, Sig. If I ever see them, I wanna give them a piece of my mind.
!?

So,
you have something, right? Tell me.
Uuh...
Uh...

I want to see my little sisters.

You have little sisters, Sig?
Yes.
There's two of them, but they were born at the same time.
Their personalities are polar opposites, but they're both very kind and treat me nicely...
They were really popular on my planet since it's rare to be born at the same time...!
At the same time... Twins, I guess?
Hmm.

My little sisters can do everything better than me.
They do everything perfectly.
They're cute and loveable
and they call me Onee-chan...
Even the way I am, they relied on me like a big sister.

...Are these little sisters with your parents?
I'm sure of it.

My parents were very fond of my little sisters,
so they're probably together.
...

That settles it.
!

We'll look for your little sisters.
...Eh?
Eh!?

No, no...!! Like I just said, there's no telling where to even look for them...!!
How can we find them on our own...!?

p10

...Are you serious?
There's no guarantee my little sisters are anywhere remotely close,
and even if they are...
Ah.

If I had that then...
?

Did you think of something?
Eh?
Ah, sorry. That's not what I meant...
I see.
I don't have it right now, after all...

Incidentally,
do you have any ideas, Amane-san?
Ideas?

I just kinda suggested it.
I haven't actually thought of anything.
Sorry.
!?

p11

W-Well, we can think starting now.
Is this really gonna be okay...?

I'm home.
Is there anything you want for dinner?
Ah!!

!?
Wh-What's wro-
The book!

I forgot the book I had bought earlier at the hideout!!
I'll go get it!!
Amane-san!!

There she goes...
Amane sure is lively.

p12

There it is!!

Thank goodness I found it safely.
I was having so much fun that I forgot to bring it home.

Hm?

p13

It was so clear a moment ago...!!
Oh crap! I left my bag at home... The book's gonna get ruined...!
Better hurry ho-

Eh?

p14

Ow...
Falling over when it's raining is the worst...

Did I trip over something...? I thought I caught a glimpse of something...

p15

What is this...?
Some kind... of container...?

Now's not the time for that!! Gotta rush home!!

p16

I'm home!!
Amane-san!!

You're soaked...!! Are you okay!?
We need to dry you off quickly...!!

p17

I'm sorry. I was so busy cooking that I didn't notice the rain...

Let's get you changed quickly...

Wait-
Ow!
That hurts!!

I'm sorry, Amane-san. I just don't want you to catch a cold...
I won't get a cold from this.

But~...

p18

...What is this?
My chest
...Thank you.
feels warm...

p19

Eh?
Ah.
Not at all...!!

She thanked me just like that...

...!

p20

The shape and color of her heart is changing!!

Fufu
Ufufu
?
What's up?

Amane-san.
You look so happy...!!

!?

I'm not happy!
What's with you!?
Ehehe~
Sig!!

p21

Today was fun!
Yeah, it was.

What book did you buy at the bookstore?
Hm?
Aah.

Close your eyes.
!
Okay.

Why do I have to close my eyes...?
What kind of book did Amane-san buy...?

p22

You can open them now.
!

Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

A Japanese folklore book
for you, Sig.

p24

Why are you crying!?
You're melting a little too!!
Are you okay!?
Do you not like it...!?

That's not it.
I'm so happy...!!

p25

Wha-

You're so happy that you're crying...?
That surprised me...
Of course!!

You see, the book I have
is a dirty and old thing that I picked up from the side of the road...!
Also, I've been wanting to read some folklore for a while now, so I'm happy!!
You picked that up from the side of the road!?

So that's why it was so beaten up and dirty...

p26

Even so, she never let it go
and treated it as something precious.

Hah...

I'm happy, so I'm gonna sleep with it.
With the book!?

I'm sure to have sweet dreams tonight!
I'm sure of it!
That's right.

p27

Ehe~
Ufufu
Aren't you scared of messing it up while you sleep?

Yes I am, actually... I don't want it to get messed up after you went out of your way to get it for me, Amane-san...
She's crying again...

I'll put it on the desk for now.
Okay...

I'll read it lots tomorrow!
I'm looking forward to it~
I didn't think you'd like it that much.
I'm happy too.

p28

Ah.

Oh yeah, I forgot...

It looks to be machine-like, so it would've broken if I left it there,
so ended up bringing it home.
What is this, I wonder?

What's wrong?
Woah, you scared me.

I picked this thing up earlier...

p29

Hey!
Where did you find that!?
Eh!?
Ah.
Is this yours, Sig?
Yes... It's mine!!

With this,
we might be able to find my little sisters!!
