Umi Ep. 17: Seeking a Place to Train
After recognizing her own worldly desires, Umi has vanished! You are all rushing around in search of her when an important phone call arrives.
Umi
“Please don't look for me. Signed, Umi.”
Umi
If I leave this letter behind, then Nozomi and Rin will probably figure it out.
Umi
I must leave on a journey…
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
What do we do?! It's already nighttime and we haven't found any sign of Umi!
Player
Don't tell me she's already miles and miles away!
Nozomi
Umi said she needed to “rid herself of worldly desires.” Maybe there's a clue in that.
Player
Hmm… First, let's head back to the clubroom to pick up our things. Then we can think about where to search next.
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
Ahhh! There's a letter here! And it's in Umi's handwriting!
Nozomi
What?! “Please don't look for me. Signed, Umi.”
Player
“Please don't look for me”? What in the world?!
Player
Oh! Hanamaru's calling me.
Hanamaru
Hello! It's Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
Umi came here to the temple to undergo some spiritual training. I called because I thought you might be worried about her.
Player
What?! She's at your place, Hanamaru? To do spiritual training?!
Rin
Huh?! Spiritual training?! What for?
Hanamaru
Umi keeps saying that she can't meet up with all of you until she finishes her spiritual training. That's why I wanted to at least let you all know that she's safe.
Player
I see. Still, thank goodness she's okay! Thanks for telling me, Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
Oh, one sec. I'll put Umi on the line.
Hanamaru
Umi? You gave everyone a big shock. I think you should talk to them yourself, zura.
Umi
All right.
Umi
Ah… This is Umi. My deepest apologies for causing you all such worry at this time.
Player
Umi! I'm so glad you're okay!
Nozomi
So you went over to Hanamaru's place?
Rin
Umi, when are you coming back home to us?
Umi
I will return once I have finished my training. I do not yet know when exactly that will be…
Rin
You don't know when it'll be?!
Player
Umi…
| Option 1: “I'll pray that your training goes well.” |
|---|
| Player I'll pray that your training goes well, then. Umi Thank you. I deeply appreciate your concern. |
| Option 2: “We'll come to meet you once your training is done.” |
| Player We'll all come to get you once your training is done. Umi Of course. Thank you all very much. |
Umi
Now I must return to my training.
Player
Okay. Don't worry about us, okay? Do your best, Umi.
Umi
I will. Thank you so much!
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
I'm glad that Umi is safe, but how come she had to jet off all of a sudden to do spiritual training?
Nozomi
I suspect those “worldly desires” she mentioned might have something to do with it.
Rin
Let's go to pick her up! Oh, but we probably can't see her until her training is done, right?
Player
I'm not sure. But I do know that when her training's over, I want to be the first one to congratulate her!
Nozomi
Yep, we absolutely have to go see her. Umi's a vital part of our group!
Player
Then let's all go together to meet her!
