Actually, thats the circle; the artist is Yukimachi Tounosuke (with yukimachi being the tag here in dan). By the way, is this a sample from his/her upcoming work or something?
Well, actually, I had given up on figuring that line out and resolved to look at it again in the morning, but when I saw your comment and went to explain myself, I finally realized that 伺 is not 何 and everything suddenly became clear. So, uh, thanks, and translated.
...she reacted surprisingly....Now that I think about it, this is what I drank at the end, wasn't it?I had heard that memories from your past lives aren't carried over.I didn't choose something that I thought she might like......because I expected her to realize it and behave differently, but...Such a lovely smell......I seem to remember that you had quite a bit of it, mixed with hot water.
"Mixed with hot water" is お湯割り ("oyuwari"), a particular method of drinking shochu in which the alcohol is diluted with hot water.That's right.When "Yukari" is mixed with hot water, the bitter aftertaste is softened and it becomes quite delicious. But it's hot in the summertime, so that won't do...But I'm surprised.Hahaha!
