Chapter 36 - Part of the white cloud preserved before the nuclear explosion

The girl Akemi entered with the pilot, whose image the sun was shining from under the clouds, and she thought that she was with the pilot, Shino. 242

She swims in a field of gray clouds and a military plane shines out from under the clouds, heading for the Sea of Japan

Akemi: We're over the sea 243

Pilot with the sun shining: Yes, we are over the Sea of Japan, and the sky is covered with gray clouds

We will wait for the arrival of some white clouds, perhaps they will draw that shape 244

Gray cloud: I heard girl that you are waiting for the white cloud

Akemi: Yes

Gray Cloud: Why?

Akemi: I'm waiting for her to draw the shape of the horse, but why are you asking? You're not white 245

Gray Cloud: I can, but on one condition

Akemi: But you're gray

The gray cloud: Yes, I am a scary cloud. It has formed since the two nuclear bombs fell not far from here. My smoke was the souls of millions of your kind, they disappeared in an instant 246

When I got into the atmosphere, I was surprised how I could do that

Like you, I entered the white cloud and stole part of it, so that I might disappear forever and live in white 247

Akemi: I swam in the black and blue clouds, but I found them not as pessimistic as you, they were just saying that the time for nuclear bombs is over, we will work, we will conquer the gray cloud 248

The gray cloud: It is true that they took a lot from me, but I am afraid of appearing large, I am afraid of controlling all the clouds, I am afraid of reaching the white cloud, then the sun will never rise

And this is your role, girl, your role for the future, to keep the scattered white clouds and the sun's rays shining among them 249

Akemi: What is the condition?

Gray Cloud: Grab all the nukes you might find on your way back

Pilot Shino, on whom the sun shines from under the clouds: I heard you muttering about the nuclear bomb 250

Akemi: I feel like I'm dreaming and I'm talking to the clouds.

The gray cloud requires me, in order to draw the shape of a horse with white clouds, not to let the nuclear bombs fall on the ground. Will you help me, Shino, with that? 251

The pilot, Shino, who is shining the sun's rays from under the clouds: I can't, you're small, how do you hold it?

Akemi: Don't forget I'm playing with dimensions, I'll hide it in a dimension 252

Gray Cloud: Do you agree to the condition?

Akemi: Yes

The gray cloud: Look, I will draw for you the shape of the horse with the parts of the white clouds that I kept before the nuclear explosion 253
