The corridor which had water leaking through the cracked gla.s.s was lit by the chipped lighting.

On the other side, a multicolored-fish swam across the gla.s.s" cracks.

(TL: Guesslation? The text itself is a mess. Let me put it here : 切れかけた照明に、水漏れした廊下。
罅の入ったガラスの向こうで、色とりどりの魚が泳いでいた。)

[It"s beautiful, isn’t it?]

Even though we held hands, there was no such feeling of being held upon.

As I became uneasy, I unconsciously gathered strength into my hand.

[Yumi-chan, it hurts a little.]

She laughed a little embarra.s.sed, I reflexively separated my hand from her and apologized.

[Sorry……]

[It"ll be troubling if I got lost, right? So, let"s holds hands once again, okay.]

(TL: 「迷子になったら困るもんね。もっかい繋ごうよ」Help… what would be a better phrasing for this?)

To her outstretched hand, this time the feeling of holding hers was there.

(TL: I took the liberty to change the phrasing to let it flow much better… I"m sure other translators would be much better at this. 差し出された手は、今度はちゃんと感触があった。)

[Ah! What kind of fish is that?]

A strange fish was swimming at the place she was pointing at.

The word, graceful comes to mind, a Pure-White Fish.

With a long body and shining scales, its fins flinched and fluttered.

Then, the fish that was swimming in front of us shortly disappeared and went somewhere.

[Huh? This aquarium is connected anywhere]

To this girl"s words, rather than fear, the beauty of the fish won.

(TL: Uhh… I don"t know what fear meant though… Haa… It"s hard… Help… 彼女のその言葉に、恐怖よりも、先程の魚の美しさの方が勝った。)

[But, the fish just before was beautiful, resembling that of a dragon.]

[Yea, I wish I could see it again]

When I was talking about such things, I noticed something fall on my feet.

It was a name tag with the name [Tomoe] written over it.

[…… Tomoe]

At that nostalgic sound, I narrowed my eyes.

Though it should be something that I mustn"t forget, I just can"t remember it.

If I try to forcibly recall it, an acute pain runs on my head.

[It"s fine.]

~kyu~ My hand was grasped.

(TL: ~Kyu is sound effect for hand being grasped… Dunno, I"m not the author!)

Her expression was exceedingly kind and gentle, that I thought she was a saint or something

(TL: Seibo literally means "Holy Mother, Virgin Mary, or Birth Mother of a holy man(or woman) since such existence are similar to saints, I gave it a go)

[…………. Tomoe]

When she was suddenly called upon, she turned delighted and smiled.

[Yeah, that"s right…

Thank you, for remembering me]

~Pichon~ Where does the sound of dripping water coming from?

(TL: Sound of water dripping)

Multicolored-Fish swims in a flutter.

[So, How about the mirror house next?]

Tomoe said so; I only gave her a nod.

Before leaving, when I looked back, finally the lights have gone out. The path we came through was already pitch-black.

Every single fish had disappeared.

I wonder what I saw.

Shuddering, chills run through my spine.

[Tomoe]

As I embraced her, Tomoe looked at me surprised, then laughed as she gave up.

[I see… Yumi-chan hates scary things since a long time ago, Sorry…]

Her chilly hand pats my head.

However, I did not feel any kind of fear towards Tomoe.

Throughout the evening, we took one step forth.

Chapter 2 is done! Whoo!!! That took like 1 whole hour! Nice!!!!

At least it"s not on the level of Consequences of Being Summoned Simultaenously Chapter 2 which hurt my brain so much!
