VIDEO: Tsumihoroboshi-hen | TIP 12: The Reason We Moved To Hinamizawa
BGM: Thanks
I don't remember how many years ago it was.
But the village was going to be submerged in water because of a new dam project, and the villagers protested against it en masse.
They held a sightseeing tour so people from other places could enjoy the local beauty.
I joined the tour out of simple curiosity. I wanted to take a look at the nature that might sink under the water.
The air was so clean and clear, and the landscape was beautiful beyond words.
Since then, I was hooked on the inspiring nature of the place.
...I fell in love with the village so much that I was very glad when I heard that the dam project was canceled.
That village is where I'm building our new house.
I saw two cute girls playing in that field.
Both of them were very beautiful, with long, straight hair.
They were probably neighbors or best friends.
I still remember how they looked. One of them had a very beautiful face with a clear-cut profile for her age, and the other had a very pretty, innocent look.
I'm sure both of them will grow up into fine, beautiful ladies in the future.
They were running around in the field like they were dancing.
I asked them if the field was their playground.
They said they were playing in hopes that newcomers would move to the village.
Then I saw a sign saying "lot for sale".
That was when I began to think that it might be a great place to live.
But... I sincerely believed this was the best place for us to start a new life together as a family.
A lot of things happened back in the city... but the past is the past. It's best that we move on.
We learn from our mistakes, and I hope we can start a new, more ideal life in this village.
Keiichi, I hope you'll grow to love it here as much as I do.
I'm happy to hear that.
I'm also happy that we've been doing a lot better as a family since we moved here.
Back in the city, we were far from close.
...So, I'm truly happy that we're able to start from scratch. Now that I come to think about it, I've never had a chance to have a conversation with you like this before.
Oh, Keiichi.
I think they're... a lot younger than you.
Oh, you know two young beautiful girls but one has short hair, huh? Hmm... I don't think they're the ones I saw.
You want to know why I asked?
I was thinking about making them wear cute costumes... Ahem! B-Basically, I just wanted to see them again, for artistic reasons. So, if you happen to see them, let your dad know, okay? Promise me, okay?! Cough cough!!
