Autumn 2021. A suburban park. A girl in light blue boots walks with a pink umbrella, splashing around. She looks like an elementary school student. No, she looks like she's still in kindergarten. Girl: Hey, mom. Will it rain again tomorrow? Mother: Hmm... Because it rains a lot in autumn. Girl: Why does it rain a lot in autumn? Mother: Hmm... I could explain it to you, but I think it's still difficult for Momo-chan. [Momo-chan? She has the same name as me. Is it Momo-chan or Momoko-chan?] Girl: Ah! Mother: What's wrong? Girl: Momoko, you left the shovel out in the garden... Mother: Hehehe. It's okay if the shovel gets wet. [Oh, it's Momoko. We're together.] Girl: Squeak! Mother: Oh dear. When it rains, it gets cold at this time of year. [Oh... The rain suddenly stopped. 】 Mother: Oh. The sun has suddenly come out. I wonder if the sun is being considerate so that Momo-chan doesn't catch a cold. Girl: Sniff! (Sniff...) Mother: Oh dear. Here's a tissue. Girl: Thanks, Mom. (Ding!) 【Hahaha. So cute. She can bite her own nose. Ah!】 Girl: Wow, a rainbow! It's beautiful. ????: A rainbow! It's beautiful. The two Momokos run towards the rainbow. They stop in the middle of the bridge and look up at the rainbow. Girl: Do you like rainbows too, big sister? ????: Yes, Momo-chan. They're seven colors and so beautiful. Girl: ...? ????: What's wrong? Girl: How do you know Momoko's name? ????: It's because you were chatting away with lots of energy. Girl: Also... something about the way you're talking is a little weird, big sister. ????: Eh? Girl: It's not [Momo → Chan]. Momoko is [Momo → Chan]. ????: Oh, I'm sorry. It's [Momo → Chan]. Sorry, big sister. Girl: ??? ????: Is something weird again? Girl: It's [Big sister → Chan]. ????: Hahaha. [Momo → Chan], you're listening to me carefully. Girl: Ah! ????: What's wrong? Girl: Momoko, you can go on the field trip tomorrow! ????: (Momo → Chan ⤵), are you going on the field trip tomorrow? Girl: Yes. Actually it was supposed to be today, but it rained. ????: Oh really, that's good. Girl: Yes. Mommy! Mommy, you can go on the field trip tomorrow! The little girl ran off with all her might, clinging to her mother with all her might. ????: (Tomorrow will be a nice day♪ Tomorrow will be a nice day♪) Mother: Oh, what a lovely song. ????: H-hello. Oh, it's a song called "Rainbow." I used to sing it a lot when I was a child. It's my favourite song... Mother: Is that so? You have a beautiful voice too... ????: Oh, thank you. Girl: Mommy, there's something strange about the way you talk, big sister. Mother: This is Momo-chan. Don't call me weird. I'm sorry. ????: No, it's fine. [Momo → Chan] I think I was just being honest. I guess I was too honest too... I've made a lot of people worry. Mother: But... I think it's nice to be honest. I try not to tell her too much, "This is no good, that is no good." But, I guess it's weird... ????: No, no. I can't help my accent. It's proof that I love my hometown. I'm not trying to force it. Mother: You're not from Tokyo, are you? ????: I'm from Kagoshima. Actually, I've been in Tokyo for over 5 years (laughs). She suddenly looked up at the sky. ????: The rain... It looks like it's really going to stop. (It's going to be nice tomorrow♪). But still... Mother: Is something wrong? ????: It's been a long time since I've said hello to a stranger like this and had a normal chat with her... Mother: This is originally the countryside. There are a few more houses now. It's different from the center of Tokyo, isn't it? A tear spilled down her cheek. ????: Ah, what's that? Why...? Girl: Big sister, are you crying? Mother: I'm so sorry. I guess you were still worried about what happened earlier. Come on, Momo-chan, you should be sorry. Girl: Big sister, I'm sorry. ????: No, that's not it. I'm just happy. I got to say hello to a stranger and chat with her while we were out walking... And I got to meet such a cute Momo-chan. The girl handed her a tissue. Girl: Here, big sister. ????: Yes, thank you. Momoko was so happy that she started crying. Girl: Momo... what? Mother: Oh, are you Momoko? ????: Yes. I'm Momoko too. Girl: Yaay! You're Momoko too, big sister. ????: Yes. Momoko is happy too! Mother: I'm so happy to have such a pretty big sister named Momo-chan. Girl: Yes! Momoko-chan, cheer up! ????: Yes, thanks, Momo-chan. Umm... thank you for the tissue. I can't repay you in this day and age... Mother: No, no, don't worry about it. ????: Honestly, I've always been a bit emotional, to the point that I hate myself for it. When I came to Tokyo, I cried every day... Mother: Is that so... ????: Also, maybe... I'm feeling a bit lonely right now. That's why I cried today because I was so happy to meet such a cute and lively Momo-chan.
