Wishing For The Moon(In English)

The 1st Story

I'm walking in a quiet residential area at midnight with a “Chidori Ashi”.(It means the human’s step when you got drank a lot of Alcohol in Japanese) In one hand, he hangs a cheap "nori bento" purchased at a convenience store. When I got home, I was drunk enough to wonder if I would eat it after all.

‘Oh, I drank it again today.’

When I look up at the sky by chance, a big full moon is watching this earth with a gentle, cream-colored light in the full heavenly night sky. There are no clouds trying to hide the moon, and the constellations that are originally the main characters are scattered around as if they were supporting actors.

"Oh, it's still the moon. Is it a full moon today? But what the moon is? The sun warms the earth, right? I feel that it is good for human beings, but the moon becomes a full moon, the crescent, or it disappears. What the hell are you doing to humans?”

He is walking with his eyes raised as if he were interacting with the moon. It is a considerably ability when thinking again though it arrives at the house without knowing it by the ability "Return home instinct" no matter how drunk it is mysteriously man. I'm walking into my house steadily, wobbly.

"If you look closely, the moon is quite big. There are things that change the size or color that it looks like. Isn't that much of a thing on the day, about the Sun? However, the moon's rabbits are so big. Are you sure you're on the moon? You're not here, are you?


<What is it? Did you call us now? >

“No, I didn't call you.”

I answered with a light feeling by the condition reflection. I don't particularly care about him because he's drunk.

"Oh, hey! Oh, my God! Who? “

There is no one in the vicinity even if it looks around. It's midnight without a reason to be there.

<You just called us, didn't you? >

They shake their heads from side to side.

"Oh, that's right. It's because i was too drunk. It's an empty ear. Oh, my God.”

The back head was tapped several times with a ‘pompom’. I looked up at the moon by chance. Then, the appearance that two 'Rabbits' begins to attach the rice cake is seen on the surface of the moon.

<You're realizing the ‘Our vision’ I guess, if you had drink a lot of Alcohol, but you really know about us, don't you? >

After a while of silence,

"Yes, yes, well. But the situation hasn't been swallowed up."

<Yes, yes. When it's full moon, we're like this. Just don't everyone know>

“Oh, that's right.”

The step toward the house is mysteriously early.

(What are you doing? I don't think I've called you.)

“Who are you guys in the first place?”

<We're the hares of the moon. you know that, don't you?

They are answering while attaching the rice cake.>

“Yeah, I guess.”

I was surrounded by fear that I couldn't get anything, and i began to have goose bumps.

<You just told me what we're doing. >

(Are you listening to it from there?)

<It's watching how people are sleeping properly.>

“Oh, that's right.”

His Answer was including with a little irony.

<I'm not just watching. You dream, too, don't you? >

“I'll see.”

<I'm deciding whether to make that dream come true or make it a reality.>

((Go!) Shock remarks!))

"Oh, really? “

<That's right. It's surprising, isn't it? It's a pretty important role. But recent people are too selfish. That's true because of that, today's people don't care about us, they do money, they bully the weak.>

"I feel the same way. But I don't know what to do."

<That's why I'm thinking we're going to quit this role.>

"Then what happens to human beings?”

<Come on. Don't know. We're just doing our part. Maybe you can't sleep.>

"It's a terrible problem! If we can't sleep, won't have a body."

<That's right. We don't want to. Even if you don't want to, you might be sorry for your role. So, I'll give you the only one wish you've noticed for a long time before that happens.>
