E? Heibon Desu yo?? Chapter 1

My name is Tachibana Yukari.

I’m a female high-school student who attends a public high-school.

I have no father at home, so my mom’s been raising me by herself.

My father died before I was born in a traffic accident.

At the time, Mom became emotionally ill and apparently decided to abort me.

However, there were always people in my mom’s surroundings.

Relatives, friends and her co-workers were concerned.

And above all, I who always was with her inside of her stomach.

Touched by the kindness of everyone, Mom gradually regained her will to live and gave birth to me.

She also gave me a beautiful name.

----Yukari----

“Yukari”, meaning that I was destined to be given birth to by her. (dict: 縁 = Destiny, esp. as a mysterious force that binds people together.)

The connection between a person and another

My mom wished that I would treasure those things by giving me this name.

My mom told me that, while looking slightly embarrassed.

Mom, thank you.

And finally, goodbye, Mom.

It seems I resemble Dad more than I thought.

Today, I was run over by a car.

I wished that my mom can once again be healed by the connections between people.

So that she recognises that she isn’t alone.

That was my last recollection as Tachibana Yukari.
