The season was the beginning of spring and that day it was raining.
Sec.1 [Introduction]
That's why Her hair, and my body too, were heavy with humidity.
The air surrounding us was saturated with the immensely pleasant fragrance of the rain.
The Earth on its axis turned quietly without a sound,
and in this world, Her and my body continued to loose heat peacefully.
I am currently not at home. Your business, please.
That day I was picked up by Her.
That's why
I am Her cat.
She and Her Cat Their Viewpoints
Sec.2 [Her Days]
She was kind, like a mother,
and beautiful, like a lover.
That's why I quickly became enamored of Her.
She lives alone,
and leaves for work every morning.
I don't know the details of Her work,
nor am I interested.
But I
very much like the way She looks leaving the room in the morning.
Her long hair, properly tied up.
The faint smell of cosmetics and perfume.
She places Her hand upon my head and...
I'll go and come back, okay?
So She says aloud.
So She says aloud, straightens up Her back,
and with a pleasant sound echoing from Her shoes,
She opens the heavy iron door.
A smell like grassy places wet with rain in the morning remains for a while.
Sec.3 [His Days]
Summer has come,
and I have a girlfriend too.
It's the young cat, Mimi.
Mimi
Mimi is small and cute, and really good at being spoiled,
but after all I like
a woman who is more adult,
like She.
Mimi ; Chobi
Say, Chobi?
Mimi; Chobi
What is it, Mimi?
Please marry me.
Say, Mimi,
I've said this numerous times,
but I have an adult lover.
Not true.
It's not, "not true."
Let me meet her.
You can't.
Why?
Say, Mimi,
I've said it numerous times,
but we'll have this kind of talk after you've become more of an adult
or something.
This kind of conversation goes on forever.
Please come over to play again, okay?
Definitely, okay?
Really come over, okay?
Really, really come over, okay?
In this way, my first summer passes,
and gradually cooler breezes begin to blow.
Sec.4 [Her Loneliness]
One day like that,
after a long, long telephone conversation,
She cried.
I didn't understand the reason,
but She cried for a long time by my side.
I think She is not the one at fault.
Only I am always watching.
She is always kinder than anyone else.
She is more beautiful than anyone else.
She lives more earnestly than anyone else.
I can hear Her voice.
Someone...
Someone, someone...
Someone save me.
Sec.5 [She and Her Cat]
In the darkness that has no end,
this world that we are aboard continues to revolve.
The season has changed, and it is now winter.
The scenery of snow that, to me, should be the first I've seen,
I have the feeling I've known it from long ago.
The winter mornings are late,
so even when it becomes time for Her to leave the house,
it is still dark outside.
The sight of Her, engulfed in a very heavy jacket,
seems practically like a big cat.
She, who wore the scent of snow,
and Her slender, cold finger tips,
the sound of the black clouds streaming by far in the upper sky,
Her soul, and my feelings, and our room...
The snow inhales the sounds of all,
but only the sound of the electric train that She boarded,
reached my upright ears.
I,
and probably Her too.
This world...
This world
I think we like it.
