【PC】MeltyMoment ～メルティモーメント～

都会から電車で数駅ほど離れた、住宅街や団地が多い町。

俗に言う、都会の喧騒から離れたベッドタウン。

都会にあるような高層ビルや大型マーケットは存在せず、一軒家やアパートが多い町並みは、どこかスローで懐かしい気持ちを思い起こさせる。

背の高い建物は駅周辺の建物か、新開発された河川敷近くのマンションぐらい。

空を見上げなくとも、自然と視界の中に空が映り込み、夕暮れ時にもなると、遠くの山や、学園へ続く坂道が赤く染まる。

太陽が時間の移り変わりを教えてくれる。

9月の下旬―― 残暑の終わりが見えてくる季節。

俺は仲間たちと一緒に暮れなずむ土手をのんびりと歩く。

仲の良い友人と過ごす、いつもと変わらない毎日。

そんな日常の帰路が、小さなきっかけで徐々に恋路へと変化する。

そのきっかけは何だったのか。

きっとそれは、普通の日常の中でいくつも散らばっている出来事。

例えばふと視線を上げ、君と目が合った瞬間。

例えば本を取ろうとして、手が触れ合った瞬間。

例えば君が、初めて笑顔を俺に向けてくれた瞬間――。

ふとした瞬間におとずれる様々な きっかけ で、俺たちの時間は彩られていく。

This story takes place in a town full of residential areas and apartment complexes. The town is what you would a commuter town, and is a nice, quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of urban cities.

There are no skyscrapers to be found, nor any big-box stores. Instead the townscape is comprised of houses and apartments. It has a nice, relaxing ambience, and there's a certain nostalgia that fills Takeru's chest when he looks out his window at the two. The only tall buildings so to speak of are the buildings around the station, or the apartment towers along the redeveloped riverbank.

Here one doesn't need to look up to see the beautiful, blue sky. When the sun sets in the evening, the mountains in the distance, and the hill road leading up to school become tinged in a crimson hue. If you ever want to know what time it is, all you need to do is check the sun.

Our story begins in late September. The time of the year when an end to the blistering summer heat is finally within sight.

It was a normal day for Takeru. He was leisurely walking down the riverbank with his friends as he always does, just as the sun was about to set. It was all part of the same daily routine he was used to. But tiny changes can cause that daily walk home to change, in ways that may one day come to tell a story of love.

They were tiny indeed, nothing special. Just the small, daily happenings that we each experience in our daily lives.

It could be the moment his eyes met hers. It could be the moment their hands touched when trying to grab a book. It could be the moment she smiled at him, for the very first time--

Those tiny, minuscule moments that occur randomly throughout our daily lives can be the start of magical things to come.
