Chapter 129

Words That Don't Reach (1) (とどかぬことば (1), Todokanukotoba (1) ) is the first part of the 129th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
Mizuha asks Fushi if he likes her. Fushi thinks she's upset because of what happened at school and quickly apologizes for bringing up her mother. Mizuha asks if he likes anyone (in a romantic way), to which Fushi replies with yes. Mizuha seems surprised and asks if he means Tonari. Fushi says yes again and tells Mizuha that he loves all the people around him. Mizuha starts laughing after she hears his full answer, visibly relieved that Fushi doesn't like anyone romantically.

A few meters away, Hanna, Yuuki, Tonari as well as Hylo and Gugu are spying on them.

Mizuha asks Fushi if he has ever had a "special someone" in his life, to which he replies that he doesn't know much about that topic (love). She then tells Fushi that he can't go out with any of the girls at school, even if they ask him to, and even forbids him to get into a relationship with anyone without telling her. Fushi explains that, even if he were to find someone he loved (and wanted to get into a relationship with), he wouldn't act on it because it'd turn into something insignificant over the course of his long life. Mizuha then asks if he would reject her, too. When Fushi says that he would, she tries to find out what she could do to make him happy, to which Fushi replies that he'd be happy if she didn't do anything.

While Fushi accompanies Mizuha on her way home, Hanna tries to cheer up the distraught Yuuki, who is already lamenting having lost Mizuha to Fushi. After Hanna encourages him and tells him him that he shouldn't be afraid of getting hurt, Yuuki decides to confront Mizuha. He tells her that he'd cheer her on even if she had a boyfriend. Mizuha asks him what he would do if he fell for someone who had no interest in him, and when he asks her what she would want to be done, she answers the way Fushi did: nothing. When she asks how he would react if that was her answer, Yuuki replies that he'd pretend he didn't hear because otherwise, he'd feel devastated. His words resonate with her and she tells him to hand in there and try his best.
