CHII & TAKU Heading for the Park Page 2

After hanging up the phone, Taku felt his body fill up with a warm feeling.
"The man said he understood," Taku said to Sanae, who had been watching the conversation from her seat.
"Oh, no! You can't…", Chii shouted and waved her hands to stop Taku.
Sanae smiled at Taku and moved both of her hands. It looked like she was chopping an invisible Japanese radish on the back of her left hand with her right hand. Taku was confused again.
"She said thank you in sign language."
"I see, she can talk without making sounds" said Taku, who was smiling now that he understood.
Chii and Sanae could not help laughing at Taku who was made a serious bow as his own sign language.

A Requesting Notebook
