Here, I'm giving this back.
Could you please return it?
But in the end, I slowly turned around.
I slowly turned around.
Even when called, they don't turn around.
When I turned around, there stood a girl.
There is no need to look back to know who it is.
Right, I'll pay you back properly once work starts!
Looking back on his own actions, he thought that this could not go on.
If I send a reply immediately, will it arrive?
But there was no reply from inside.
Why aren't you answering?
Finally, there was a small reply.
There's no answer from the other side of the door.
When your name is called, please answer "Here."
After thinking for a moment, I sent a reply.
When I called out, there was no reply.
However, I was answered with unexpected words.
It sounded like a serious reply, which made me feel strangely unsettled.
Once I finish looking into it, I will definitely return it.
The two of them each replied energetically.
Even if time could be turned back, I would do the same thing again!
Try repeating that last part one more time.
Even if I look back, it is dark and I cannot see anything.
For now, I returned the greeting.
Instead of answering, I lightly place my hand on her back.
I paid back all the money I borrowed.
The soldier who had been walking in front of them suddenly turned around and noticed the anomaly.
It is a reply that could be taken to mean either that they are listening or that they are not.
I put on a smile, replied, and parted ways with the two of them.
To hide my embarrassment, I answered jokingly.
But, I repeat, I don't want to.
I repeat it over and over again in my head like a spell.
I'm pressed every day to hurry up and pay the money back.
Saying so, they exchanged wry smiles.
The man never once looked back, nor did he ever lose his way.
She tried to quietly ask back, but the man spoke as if to interrupt her.
However, no answer comes back.
For a while, no answer came back.
A voice comes back from inside.
A remarkably simple answer came back.
No answer came back, but I didn't mind.
The answer that came back was truly characteristic of a young girl.
Judging that the effect isn't strong enough, the boy chants the same spell over and over.
And yet, my senior replied without changing their expression at all.
Then she turned toward me and smiled, showing her teeth.
That night I went on to listen to the song six times in a row.
I listened to the same song over and over.
It can be played back repeatedly.
Nature eternally repeats death and rebirth.
Not knowing how to reply, I fell silent.
Her reply was unexpected.
The reply was short but sharp.
It was a brief reply, but I don't think he was lying.
When I answered, the door opened right away and a maid appeared.
The unexpected words made me momentarily falter in my reply.
At the unexpected reply, a strange sound escaped me.
I call out from outside, but there is no reply.
Repeating this, she extended her right arm forward.
Fix your gaze on the center of the ball and return it!
I left the shop without looking back.
At a girl's sudden scream, we all turned around at once.
That's a remark I really don't know how to respond to.
No matter how you embellish your words, the answer is the same.
Receiving a reply from the two of them is proof of their safety.
Everyone went up without looking back and disappeared from view.
The few seconds until the answer came back felt long.
I'll throw those words right back at you.
Two days later, I received a reply saying, 'Let's date.'
I reflexively turned around and looked up.
It was a reply in a sharp, displeased voice.
However, a reply came back immediately.
That's nice, a heartfelt reply.
It was less that I remembered, and more that I came to my senses.
I came to my senses at the sound of my name being called.
I was suddenly called by name and came to my senses.
She repeated her breathing many times and finally steeled her resolve.
I intend to pay it back eventually, but it is not a small amount.
I come back to my senses at the sound of a sigh.
I don't even know if looking back on the past has any meaning.
I haven't received a reply from the princess yet.
And then, I looked back at the kitchen.
All three looked at each other, as if at a loss for an answer.
So you mean you were watching the same scene over and over?
Even if I scream, the two of them not only don't turn around, but just keep getting farther away.
The attendant didn't reply.
He hurriedly turned around to look behind him and stared intently at the figure.
In return, I will definitely pay you back, okay?
Looking back now, numerous questions arise.
I breathe deeply and slowly, again and again, sending fresh air through my body.
They reply in unison.
If I'm told that, I can't say anything back.
I couldn't say anything back and just looked down.
I wanted to talk back, but no words came out.
If there is no reply, that too is fine.
The reply was so curt I had to laugh.
Unable to grasp the meaning, I repeat it in my mind once more.
I reflexively look back, but I cannot see anyone who looks like a police officer.
I recall the smile of the girl I saw earlier.
While dousing myself with cold water from the top of my head, I suddenly recalled the letter from earlier.
Even after we broke up, there isn't a single day when I don't think back on you.
She was thinking back on her sister's demeanor up to that point.
I tried to think back carefully on the immediately preceding events.
I will pay it back even if I have to borrow money.
Given the situation that I must repay my debt, I have no way to refuse.
It was a question that caused one to struggle with how to answer.
I am surprised and blink repeatedly.
I repeated the explanation three times.
Then she turned around to face me and looked up.
Please turn back immediately.
No, turning back now is out of the question!
The other party might turn back partway, you know.
I got worried, so I turned back halfway.
We decided to turn back.
We looked back on our shared memories and laughed together.
The book has to go back later, so don't go getting it dirty, okay?
While nodding, I returned the pillow that had been thrown at me to its owner.
And at last, we turned back.
At that point, I quietly turned on my heel.
There was no reply, and not a single sound came from inside.
I listened to that song over and over.
I ask again, not knowing who those words refer to.
I asked a question, but was thrown when they asked me one back instead.
Looking a little surprised, she asks me in return how I know.
When I asked him, he asked back, "What do you think?"
Not understanding the meaning, I ask again.
They used a word I didn't know, so I asked them to say it again.
I couldn't believe my ears, so I asked again.
I could only give such a foolish reply.
Anything, if it means proving that guy wrong!
I probably won't ever be able to watch that movie again.
However, for some reason, I don't feel like getting my own back now.
I was surprised by those words and looked back at her.
Looking over my notes once more, I get my brain working.
He was simply looking back at her with a puzzled expression.
I have looked back at it many times since morning, but of course the content has not changed.
I swear in all seriousness that I'll show them on the next test.
I thought I would get my own back.
I have properly replied to the other letters that arrived at the same time.
Sensing it was my cue to go home, I quietly turned on my heel.
This piece repeats a short motif over and over.
After thinking for a while without answering, I spoke.
The executive who took the call turned to a colleague with a look of undisguised bewilderment.
I have to return the favor.
I should have returned the favor, but...
I'll massage your shoulders in return.
It wasn't something I gave expecting a return favor, after all.
Now here's some payback from me.
That's payback for earlier!
Here you are, fifty yen in change.
It was the expected reply.
So I shook my head weakly in response.
Sure enough, I didn't get a straight answer.
Of course, no reply came back, and several hours passed.
I recall what I had been secretly thinking about until a few hours ago.
When that answer came back, I hurriedly stepped closer.
I came back to my senses the moment I left the classroom.
Hearing his frank reply, she deepened her smile.
As if flustered, he keeps telling them to stop.
Just in case, I sent an email, and a reply saying OK came back in about ten seconds.
The silence lasted only a moment, and a voice of approval came back immediately.
Startled, I turned around, and there stood a tall, beautiful woman.
Dead people don't come back to life.
I felt as if I had been revived.
The reply I managed to squeeze out was vague.
Distracted by how busy I was, I forgot to reply to him.
When I called out to him, he stopped walking and turned around with a cool expression.
He glared at me, so I glared back.
I couldn't help but talk back with my true feelings.
Thinking that it would be improper to deny it, I end up giving an ambiguous answer.
That's why the dead don't come back to life.
A slight bow was returned.
The sound of my own panting echoes through the silent forest.
The classroom fell completely silent once again.
The world falls completely silent, as if time has stopped.
The students around who had been watching also fell silent for a moment.
The audience falls silent all at once.
It has fallen completely silent and everyone is looking this way.
With that one word, the driver must have felt revived.
This is 370 yen in change.
I was dumbfounded by the unexpected reply.
Please repeat deep breaths, as I am listening to the sounds of your lungs.
While trying various conversions, I repeat the name over and over again.
I had intended to go as far as Shijō, but I gave up and turned back.
Again and again, I only repeated, "Please."
Let's make up for the loss with this.
As long as we know the whereabouts, it's easy to get it back.
I will definitely get it back.
The motive for the pursuit is obvious: they are trying to recover what was stolen.
I intend to spend my whole life repaying the favor.
A favor you have received really ought to be repaid.
You must repay the favors you have received!
Even if there is resentment, one repays kindness.
I just repaid an old debt of gratitude.
Even so, I silently continued to repeat the same thing.
I start to talk back, but then hold my tongue.
For a while, there was no reply.
The motion of flipping it over and over is really fun.
It is impossible to reverse this gap.
