Chapter 12:- Silent one
Opening: Biggest Dreamer - Kouji Wada
Ending: Brave Heart - Ayumi Miyazaki
-In Kanan's family shop as she was helping out with moving some of the supplies around, she was writing down on a pad on what was needed for the shop, the sound of the bell could be heard as Kanan moved her attention to the door to see a young man that seemed to be around her age as he had brown hair, dark green eyes as he wore a light brown jacket with a black shirt in beneath. At the sight, Kanan's eyes widened as she blushed a little from looking at the man as he was looking around, Kanan would then approach the man and spoke to him-
Kanan: H-Hi! How may I help you? -He would look at her nervously but not say anything as he kept quiet while the two would stare at each other as Kanan would blush slowly as she looked into his eyes while he looked at her- Um...S-Sir..? -Mari would then walk into the store as she was sweating slightly as she looked at the two-
Mari: Kanan!
Kanan: W-What? Mari? What are you doing here?
Mari: I came to look for him.
Kanan: Eh? You know him?
Mari: He's a guest from the hotel, an important guest.
Kanan: W-Who is he? He won't speak when I talk to him.
Mari: You're so dumb, Kanan~
Kanan: What..?
Mari: He's deaf.
Kanan: D-Deaf? You mean he can't hear anything?
Mari: Yeah, but he understands lip language, so right now as we are speaking, he understands what we are talking about right now. He just can't reply back with words unless you give him a pad and a pen.
Kanan: Alright? -She grabbed a pen and pad and passed it to the man as he took it and wrote down his name as it said "Akaza Shirou"- Akaza Shirou, huh? -He nodded as Kanan asked-
Mari: He's really smart and charming too!
Kanan: Why don't you date him?
Mari: He's a guest in my hotel, if I got together with him, I'll be dead!
Kanan: What? Why?
Mari: I'm kidding, I'm not looking for anyone at the moment after all.
Kanan: Not since after Jun.
Mari: Pretty much. Oh! -She would grab a pen and a small pad from her bag and pass it to Shirou as he took it and was confused on what he should do as he tilted his head- I need to head back to the hotel to do some work but if you want to walk around the town, make sure you use this pad to reply, okay?
Shirou: -He nodded as he wrote something down on the pad as it was written- "Okay, good luck with your work, Ohara-san."
Mari: You're so sweet~ Bye bye~ -She took off quickly as Kanan didn't know what to do-
Kanan: W-Wait! Mari! Ugh..That girl.. So, Akaza-kun? What are you gonna do, now?
Shirou: "Are you free, right now?" -He asked as he wrote down the sentence on his pad-
Kanan: I'll be free after I close the shop since it's only half day, today. Why?
Shirou: "I'm still new to this town. Since I'm from Osaka, so I was wondering if you would be kind enough to walk around with me or give me a tour?" -He would ask with a little smile on his face as he seemed quite nervous as Kanan would chuckle softly and gave him a thumbs up and have him wait outside while she clean up the store, get changed and close it first before they go out-
-As the two went out later on after Kanan was done with her job, she would show him around the town though he was still not used to the place as Kanan was leading him around and was talking as he was unable to understand what she was saying as he was walking behind her. Kanan then realize what she was doing as she looked back at Shirou as she got worried but Shirou did not seem to be bothered by what Kanan did wrong as she grabbed his hand and pulled him into a bookstore and let him look around the store while she went to find a book about sign language. After she bought the book, she would bring him around the food stall area as Shirou bought some Takoyaki and shared it with Kanan. Kanan considered in bringing Shirou to meet Arata and Riko but she came to consider that Shirou may not feel comfortable around people like Arata, the sort that was overly too energetic when meeting new people. She would then bring him back to the hotel as they both exchanged phone numbers and would text each other as Kanan walked back alone while she was reading the book she bought-
-Kanan would then head to the Cafe Bar before heading home as she went to talk to Riko and as she got there, Arata was singing the song "WE ARE XROS HEART" while the other workers were enjoying him sing-
Tachiagare tomo yo tomaranai baaningu sooru
Dokomademo yuku sa kimi wa hitori ja nai
Nakama no kizuna ga kirifuda sa
Inochi wo moyashite ho-e-ro!
Ima hitotsu ni great xros tokeau
Ore ni kure minna no hiketa shauto wo
Ima umareru great heart asu no kiba
Tobitate tatakae we are kurosu haato!
Tobichitta mirai senran no batorufiirudo
Kono mune ni todoku tomo no nageki namida
Hohoemi ubatta zetsubou wo
Tamashii tsunagete ku-da-ke!
Ima chikaou great xros asu wo
Kono hata ni atsumatta minna no kazu dake
Ima kagayaku great heart yume no shisha
Butsukare takamare we are kurosu haato!
Nakama no kizuna ga kirifuda sa
Inochi wo moyashite ho-e-ro!
Ima hitotsu ni great xros tokeau
Ore ni kure minna no hiketa shauto wo
Ima umareru great heart asu no kiba
Tobitate tatakae we are kurosu haato!
Ah butsukare takamare we are kurosu haato!
Riko: Kanan-chan? A sign language book? What brought this on?
Kanan: Well. I'm learning sign language right now for a friend and since you study a lot of languages, I thought I came to ask you.
Riko: Normally Mari-chan or Maki-san would be a better idea but I'll try to help. Though why sign language and not other languages like German or English in general?
Kanan: The guy is deaf, but he understands lip language.
Riko: A guy, huh? Oh~? Found someone you're interested in~?
Kanan: I guess he's handsome in an obvious way but that's not the point! I'm not very sure on how I can communicate with this guy when I'm speaking to him and he understands me but he has to write down what he wants to say on a pad. It doesn't seem fair because he uses more energy to write down a sentence while I say it instead.
Riko: Ah, I see your point. Well why don't you take it slowly? It's only 6pm right now so you have time to learn before you meet up with him. When are you meeting him again?
Kanan: I don't know, he's from Osaka and he's staying in Mari's hotel as an "Important Guest".
Riko: Important guest? Is he a celebrity?
Kanan: Maybe? I don't know but I wanna speak to him in sign, so that the two of us would have fair communication with each other.
Riko: But...Does he understand sign language?
Kanan:...-She quickly took out her phone and send a text to Shirou and asked if he understands sign language as he would reply back that he does- Oh thank God, he does.
Riko: Well that's good news for everyone then. Well first off, you should learn with greetings and farewells, after that you learn to speak in sentence with the language itself.
Kanan: Alright?
-As it was time, Shinji, Maki, Tarou, Satoshi, Umi, Eli, Aoba, Hifumi, Rin, Rin(Nya), Kou and Hajime came and went into the Cafe Bar to hang out as usual-
Arata: You guys...Are you all unemployed?
Rin: I'm working, nya! I finished my shift an hour ago, nya!
Maki: Mine too.
Satoshi: The rest of us are getting paid still even though we have no work until the next 2 months!
Tarou: We're practically lazy but we're going out at least, so we're not lazy anymore!
Aoba: I still wanna work!
Kou: Me too!
Rin: Me three!
Shinji: I want to go home.
Maki: You're not going home to just play Final Fantasy on your Playstation, it's a saved game so you can play it anytime.
Shinji: But I...You're so mean..
Rin: Maki-chan is just jealous that Shinji-kun likes this one character called Cindy Aurum and that he pays more attention to the blonde instead of his actual Fiancee, nya~
Maki: Rin! Shut up!
Rin: Ah, nya~
Shinji: You can't blame me! That blonde chick is really adorable.
Satoshi: She's hot too! -He would get pinched on the arm by Umi- O-Ow!
Umi: Remember~ If you ever fall in love with a fictional character, you'll die alone~
Tarou: I fell in love with a fictional character, everyone wanted me to see a therapist.
Arata:... Y'all need Jesus, that's what you all need.
Aoba: He's kinda right..Everyone here is weird.
Shinji: You be quiet. You're older than me but you look like a middle school student.
Aoba: Wha-?! Well I'm sorry that my body is small and my face is young!
Umi: A young face, huh? How cute.
Satoshi: Ah crap, Aoba-chan, you pissed off the Sea(Umi)!
Umi: Did you just call me "Sea"?! -Everyone started laughing while Riko was teaching Kanan sign language at the bar area as everyone else was doing their own thing-
