Chiya takes Cocoa to see where her new school is located. Coca is filled with excitement to see it.

ココア:
あれ(わたし)(あたら)しい (まな)()かぁ」
“So that over there is my new schoolhouse.”

Key Points

1あれ identifies the distant schoolhouse
  • Cocoa can see the building away from her position, so あれ means “that over there”.
2あれが〜(まな)() identifies one thing as another
  • marks the distant building as the subject.
