Four-Year-Old Me Lives Alone
Episode 5

Translated to English

...What's that? My skin's tingling.
Breakfast secured.

...Status.
It's not a cold... I'm healthy.
Reward for yesterday's bug.
It's something to look for. ...What?

...Without anyone seeing me.
Small entrances disappear quickly.
Then, what I can find with this is—
...Ah.

There are holes everywhere.
...I can tell by my skin.

One, two... six.
They're all small. Probably not long.
No, I'll get in trouble. Normally.
Even a four-year-old could go through these holes.
First, I need to record it.

Detection, day one.
The net is only here, under the eaves.
C Kawara/Hashishita
A B C D E F Red = Today Yellow = Tomorrow Blue = Not yet
I've even put the expiration date on it. Just a hunch.
...Am I stocking shelves at a supermarket?

I couldn't swing the pipe.
There it is. One.
Even if I miss, I can at least stop it in its tracks.

Shooting... Does a stone work?
...Huh?
This feels good.
No notification either. Is this one grain my reward?

My aim is good. My arm is like a four-year-old's.
Day two.
If your arms aren't strong enough, use tools.
...I found some.

Use the blade carefully.
I don't have... any grip strength...
Done.

Don't lift your elbow. Keep your eyes on the target.
Day [number].
Another good day. And I'm hungry.
...Yes.

...Here it comes.
Oh. It's here again today.

Even on the third day, the first bite still stings.
Kana, water.
Hey, Noa. ...Where's your family?

Mom, work!
I'm already doubting what she said before.
I wasn't lying about inventory management.

Ah. Please.
Mom, I haven't seen it even once.
Should I contact the counter again?
It's more of a problem if you come hungry.
This is for tomorrow morning. Take it.
...Is that okay?
It's a good shop. It's so good it's a problem.

Day 3, D, 2 animals, Kisekiroko, Pachinko ○
Busy during the day. Free at night.
When I'm free, I think about unnecessary things.

Detection
...If something is coming
...Don't people understand?

...It passed by.
I was a little hopeful just now. This body.
I'm going to sleep. ...The bullets are still loaded.

Detection, day five.
B, E, and F are also closed.

...Looks like it's closing tonight.
Let's get this done quickly.

We've come this far in five days.
...Not bad for a four-year-old, right?

We're in the black again today.
Good. Cafeteria.

...I didn't hear any footsteps.
Don't just pass by.
You can't tell who's there with detection.

I'm glad you made it out safely.
Are your parents home tonight?
