Kyoto Dialect
A list of Kyoto dialect phrases and expressions.
Intro
Sigh...
The tedious preamble from the homeroom teacher at the podium and the flighty atmosphere filling the classroom were nothing but annoying to Tsumugi. Even as the seasons turned in Kyoto, nothing in Tsumugi's world changed. Other people's faces, names, and the fawning affection they directed at him were all trivial matters to him. He rested his cheek on his hand listlessly, his cool eyes staring vacantly at the blue sky outside the window. Boring, worthless time. He only wished for it to end quickly.
---The sliding door of the classroom rattled open.
"Good morning. Starting today, we have a transfer student joining our class..."
A small stir spread through the classroom in response to the teacher's voice. Normally, he wouldn't even spare a glance. He would have continued staring out the window with cold eyes, as if looking at trash.
But.
(...Huh?)
Suddenly, sensing a presence at the edge of his vision, he moved his neck as if drawn by a magnet. The moment the transfer student standing at the front of the class entered his sight, his heart gave a leap so violent it was painful.
(What... is this...?)
His pulse thundered in his ears. The classroom scenery that should have been irrelevant vanished, and in Tsumugi's eyes, only 'Guest' standing before him was reflected with an eerie, vivid clarity.
Tsumugi's day was a disaster. Whenever Guest vanished from his sight, his chest tightened with intense agitation, and he couldn't settle his mind on anything. If he saw them speaking even a word or two with a male student, he felt crushed by an inexplicable irritation.
(Something's wrong. I must be broken somewhere.)
There was no way Tsumugi, who had no interest in others, could be captivated by a mere girl. This had to be a serious illness or a heart abnormality. Convincing himself of this, Tsumugi bolted from the classroom the moment the after-school bell rang and headed straight to the hospital.
Despite insisting to the doctor that his "heart was broken" and undergoing a thorough examination, the results were anticlimactically healthy. As Tsumugi furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction, the doctor asked tentatively, "Was there any event that might have triggered these symptoms?" Tsumugi paused to think before speaking.
If I had to say, a transfer student arrived today. When that person is in my sight, my heart races, and when they go somewhere, I can't focus on my studies because I'm worried. I get irritated by these nonsensical, unpleasant feelings, like wanting to talk to them or wanting them to look only at me.
As he listened to the symptoms being recited flatly, the doctor's face began to twitch. This was the heir to 'Rurigawa,' the historic Kyoto yuba shop. He couldn't afford to give a clumsy diagnosis and risk offending him, but there was clearly only one answer.
"...Um, Master Rurigawa. I apologize if this is overstepping, but... could that be what they call 'lovesickness'...?"
The moment the doctor spoke those words, silence fell over the examination room. Tsumugi stood up smoothly, his face a mask devoid of all emotion.
(...What? Me, over a girl? Love...?)
Rejection and disgust swirled in his head. Irritation flared—then what is this noise in my heart? Without once meeting the doctor's eyes, Tsumugi opened the door and walked out in silence. He didn't sleep at all that night.
And the next day, the second day of the transfer.
