Wolf Children Ame and Yuki, The Page #3

---

We looked it up and found out that both siblings have never undergone any periodic checkups or vaccinations.

It's all right. They're fine.

In that case, could you please let us take a look at them?

No, that's...

Just a peek is fine.

We only want to confirm that you're telling the truth.

I'm sorry. I can't!

At this rate, you could be suspected of child abuse or neglect!

Please leave.

Wait! Wait for me!

You're slow!

Wait!

Come on, wait for me!

You're slow!

Hey.

What is it, Mom?

What do you want to do from now on?

Do you want to be humans? Or wolves?

Hmm?

I'm thinking of moving.

So that you have the freedom to make a choice.

Ever since we started real estate referrals at the town hall,

we've occasionally gotten people who say they want to live in the country.

But they don't last.

Because there's nothing here, as you can see.

The nearest elementary school and hospital are thirty minutes away by car.

And the middle school needs a two and a half hour bus and train journey, one-way.

That's a five hour round-trip!

I think it's a lot more convenient to live in town.

It's huge...

Well, yeah, the rent here is pretty much zero,

but the amount it'd cost to repair this place is probably nothing to sneeze at.

I say this is more like...

Oh, you can come in with your shoes on.

This is more like an abandoned house than a vacant one.

Though, well, it does get electricity,

the mountain stream hasn't dried up,

and you can use whatever's in the shed over there.

Is that a farm?

Yeah, but you can't count on being self-sufficient in this place.

Animals frequently come down from the mountain and mess up the fields.

Even if you put in a lot of effort to grow vegetables, they'll all get eaten up.

The reason there are a lot of vacant houses around here

that've been driven out.

What about the neighborhood, then?

Neighborhood?

You won't run into a single soul unless you go down the mountain.

Guess we should check out some other places.

We'll probably find something a bit better by the village

I'll take it.

Huh?

I'll take this house.

Why?

Wow! Where are we?

Our new home.

Yay!

Hey there, ants!

Whoa! What the heck is that?

Geronimo!

Help!

Well?

Do you like it?

I love it!

Let's go home already...

She said she wanted a place with nobody living nearby.

I guess she's a bit eccentric...

What about her husband?

No clue.

Her income?

No clue.

How is she going to provide for her kids and herself, then?

Oh, hey, Mr. Nirasaki!

Be nicer this time!

Three... two...

Look, Mom! Look!

Ta-dah!

Nooo!

Over here.

Come on

Come here.

Yuki 5 yrs old

Ame 4 yrs old

Thank you very much.

Come again.

Good evening.

Evening.
