- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Put it on.
- Shanao
- What?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- I'd like to wear it now, please put it on.
- Shanao
- You...you want it?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- That's what I said. Now, hurry up and put it on.
- Shanao
- A-alright!
- Shanao
- Should I go around or...?
- Shanao
- (I was thinking of going behind him to put it on...)
- Shanao
- ...
- Shanao
- (He didn't answer... I guess I'll just put it on from the front...)
- Shanao
- Alright...
- Shanao
- (I can't quite tie the string...)
- Shanao
- (Almost...got it...)
- Shanao
- (My heart's pounding! I'm sure even my brother can hear it!)
- Shanao
- (If I don't finish tying this necklace soon, I think my heart's going to explode and I'm going to die from embarrassment...)
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Now that I see you up close... You and I don't look at all alike.
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- You have a face like a woman.
- Shanao
- !
- Shanao
- W-what?! Really?! B-Brother, what a silly thing to say...
- Shanao
- Well, what do you think?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Not bad.
My brother bowed his head slightly toward me inviting me to put the necklace around him.
On my knees I moved towards my brother and spread the cord of the necklace from side to side and around his neck.
The more I thought I had to tie it quickly the more nervous I got, and the more nervous I got, the more my hands shook...
I felt so embarrassed with my arms around my brother like that, it was like I was hugging him. My brother's face was very close to mine, and his flowing hair tickled my cheeks. I could feel my face turning bright red.
We were so close that I could feel his breath as my brother spoke.
I managed to tie the cord and hurriedly removed myself from him.
My brother looked down at the necklace.
