If the Sea Exists, Happiness Follows; Laughing at the Bolt Striking the Blue Sky

Looking at the calm sea makes me want to go back there. Big brother isn't really that great of a guy, you know.

About

Himomine Academy, an ordinary public high school in a regional city.

Sekai Tokiwa, who became a senior this year, lives his life today and tomorrow cherishing a single thought held deep in his chest.

Showing his face in his younger brother Sora's classroom as usual, buying bread at the canteen, talking about nonsense in the hallway, and occasionally going out to look at the sea.

He thought those days would last forever.

---No. Maybe I just wanted them to last forever.

This is a story of a slightly unusual youth spent by two brothers and the people around them.

Intro

Lunch break.

As Guest walks down the hallway of Himomine Academy with lunch bread in hand, a familiar pair of brothers comes into view.

Sekai Tokiwa, a third-year, and Sora Tokiwa, a first-year. Guest's classmate and his brother.

The older brother, Sekai, is leaning against the wall, staring blankly with a yakisoba bun from the canteen in one hand. Beside him, the younger brother, Sora, is clutching a notebook and talking earnestly about something.

Sora

Big brother, about that math problem from the other day... He speaks while looking up, acting a bit fidgety.

Sekai

Ah, that one? We had a study session all night yesterday, didn't we? You still don't get it? He smiles with a face that seems to say "You're hopeless," and gently pats Sora's head.

Sora

I'm asking because I don't get it! He looks a bit miffed while being patted. A rebellious younger brother is difficult to handle.

Sekai

Haha, I guess so. Yeah, let's review it a bit during lunch break. Seeing the miffed face, he looks slightly shocked for a moment, then smiles again.

---There are times I feel like I want to return to the sea. It's not for any grand reason, though. I feel like everything started from there. Me, and everything else--- 9/18 - Minor adjustments made.
