Your name is 君の名は Go to the parallel world to see you

In March of 2021, eight and a half years have passed since the fragments of Comet Diamat fell on Itomori①.

At 05:30 in this season, it happens to be around dusk②.

However, when dusk came, Taki had not come yet.

Sanye leaned on the railing outside the station and looked at the time, feeling a little anxious for some reason.

"Huh—huh—" Turning around, she saw Taki running towards her position, panting.

"I'm sorry, Mitsuha," he said with his hands on his knees, with a smile on his face, "In my impression, this is the first time I've taken the initiative to ask someone out, and I'm late. It's really embarrassing."

"Hehe," Sanye smiled, "It's okay, I just arrived for a while." In fact, Sanye has been waiting here for nearly an hour.

Why come out early?

No idea—probably just wanted to see him soon.

"Then," Taki finally calmed down and straightened his attire, "let's go, Mitsuha."

"Okay," Mitsuha and Taki crossed the bridge side by side: "Where are we going to eat tonight, Taki?"

"An Italian restaurant, how about it?" Taki turned his face and looked at her side face tenderly, "The first part-time job I had when I was in high school was as a waiter in this restaurant, and then it might be because I didn't have enough pocket money How about ④, I have done other jobs too... In short, I will never forget it.”

"Huh?" Sanye also turned to look at him: "However, in my opinion, it's not because of the senior you like that Taki can't forget this store—yesterday when you were in the coffee shop But you mentioned it to me."

"Ah, that's it, no way—" The moment his four eyes met, Taki began to speak incoherently again: "No, Sanye, don't get me wrong... Ah, I mean, I found my first official job today after all. ..." He suddenly lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and said disappointedly: "Sanye, I'm sorry that I'm really not very good at chatting with women."

"It doesn't matter," Mitsuha said hurriedly after seeing this, "I know Taki, you want to say, 'After all, I found my first real job today, so I just want to commemorate the place where I worked for the first time', right?"

"Well, yes." A smile appeared on that handsome face again: "Thank you, Sanye, I think you really understand me."

Mitsuba blushed and turned her head to the side: "Thank you for saying that, Taki, and—and you are more chic than before without a suit today."

"Hey——" Taki seemed to be sighing helplessly: "It seems that I am really not suitable for wearing that kind of clothes, Sanye, you are already the third person who said this to me—"

The two chatted while walking. Although the time on the road was slow, it was pleasant.

"Welcome - ah, it's you, Taki!" As soon as they entered the door, such a voice came from beside the two.

"Hey, senpai is still working here?" Taki looked at that face—it turned out to be an old friend who worked here together at that time, Saito-senpai⑤.

"Ahem——" Saito, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, cleared his throat, and pointed to the sign on his chest triumphantly: "Here, Manager Saito, how is it?"

"Awesome—" The communication between men is always so simple and direct.

"Eh? Are you out on a date with your girlfriend today?" Saito had already noticed Mitsuha who was following Taki, so he approached Taki's ears and asked softly, "But haven't you been with Miki a long time ago?"

"Senior, don't talk nonsense!" Taki hurriedly covered Saito's mouth, and at the same time turned around and smiled awkwardly, "I've already made a reservation for Sanye, it's on the innermost side by the window, it's quieter, you go there first Can you?"

"...um..." Sanye nodded and left towards the seat.

"Hush——" Taki let go of Saito and punched him on the shoulder: "Hey, everyone liked Okudera-senpai at the time, but I wasn't with her. She seemed to be married when we met in early October last year. Yes, and today," he glanced at Sanye's direction, and continued, "And today..."

"Haha, there's no need to say anything," Saito interrupted Taki's explanation with a smirk on his face, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a discount. Okay, hurry up and go to your seat, come on." !"

"You people—" Taki waved his fist habitually as a warning, but then laughed.

②Every year around March 3 is the vernal equinox day around the world, and the sun will set from the west at 21:18.

③The date between Taki and Okudera-senpai was also met in front of Yotsuya Station, but it was made by Mitsuba and Taki, so Taki doesn't remember that "I" took the initiative to ask Okudera-senpai. If I remember, I should only remember what happened after the appointment .

④ Mitsuha spent a lot of money on Taki back then, so Taki had to work a lot of jobs to solve the financial difficulties.

⑤When Mitsuha, who became Taki, was being harassed by customers in the restaurant, it was this person surnamed Saito who pulled him aside.
