Warm and fluffy morning!
Chika-chan.
Morning! For the contest? Sure. I'm sure you'll look good in anything.
It really is a beautiful morning.
I'll start cleaning up.

Now, all that's left is for our guest to appear.
Should be soon.
Sorry guys, you didn't have to go through all of this.
I did stuff, too!
We had to do something for a little sister as cute as she is.
I'm being ignored!
She's not that cute...
Miya-chan, what are these?
Goldfish?
Red snapper. Doesn't it look like it?
Yeah!
Sorry to intrude!
This is from mom.
So tired!
I ran here from the station.
Yes, yes. What's this?
A bunch of stuff. Pumpkin, ham, prepackaged food, snacks.
Hello. Long time no see.
Hiro-san, hello!
Thank you for taking care of me again.
Here's some cookies.
You didn't have to think of me.
Come in, come in.
Okay!
Yuno-san! Miyako-san!
Long time no see. Congratulations on passing!
Congrats!
Here's that CD I talked about.
It's pretty blah so don't listen to it too closely.
Thank you. I look forward to it.
Chika-chan, you've grown taller.
Really? I hope so.
You too, Miyako-san.
Really? Probably because I sleep so much.
Maybe because you're so energetic.
Chika-chan, would you like tea first?
Or do you want some food?
Umm, either one is fine.
Wow! Are these homemade?
Yup, we heard you like gyoza.
Everyone made some of them.
Thank you. I'm so glad!
Is this candy?
So nobody sees them as snappers!
Snapper?
Sizzle.
Hot!
But delicious.
Yup. Super delicious.
Onee-chan's so lucky to have Hiro-san as a neighbor.
Thank you, but I don't cook like this every day.
Normally, it's just veggies and other quick dishes.
Hiro-san can make anything.
So can you cook, Onee-chan?
How rude! Even I can cook properly!
Like what?
Spaghetti, curry, or ramen...
From the package?
Isn't that good enough?
Well, Sae's busy with work.
Mom's worried about you.
She keeps telling you to call every once in awhile.
Ah, I know.
Huff huff.
Ah, this is bliss!
How odd, today is only my second time coming here, but I feel so comfortable.
Why is that?
Hurray for Hidamari!
Miyako, what the heck?
But this place is pretty odd.
Even though we're right in front of the school, we're late for the strangest reasons.
When the early bell rings you start running to class.
However! Running is unnecessary.
Of course, you'll be late if you don't run.
I'm not a morning person, so living anywhere but here would be horrible.
You can go back here and nap during lunch.
Really?
I'd like to try that once before I graduate.
Oh, what a shock.
I feel the most tired during my first afternoon class.
That's because your tummy's so full after lunch.
So that's why Miya-chan usually sleeps through afternoon classes.
You're the one sleeping a lot.
You're probably right...
High school life is so wonderful!
Chika-chan, please don't take after these two.
Yuno and Miyako are living according to their instincts.
Onee-chan, you too.
What do you mean?
You do everything you wanted.
You decided to write novels and live by yourself.
That's what I wanted to do. It's fine if it's for yourself.
Okay, but you left so soon.
I got to play brass band in junior high, but since I'm going to a normal high school...
I don't think I'll be able to.
Umm...
I think that's also good.
Yes, me too.
It's something Chika-chan can only do.
I'm sure it must be wonderful to hear you play.
Really?
Just like her.
They're definitely sisters.
Hey! Don't think about it too hard.
What do you want to do after?
Is there anywhere you want to go?
Aren't we going to karaoke?
Karaoke?
Oh, that.
We got excited when I told her we'll go karaoke this time.
Oh really? You should've said something sooner.
Karaoke?
That seems somewhat nostalgic.
What're you talking about? We just went...
I guess we haven't.
Yup, we haven't done it in awhile.
Well then, how about we all go now?
Let's go! Let's go!
It says they're renovating so they'll be closed until the 31st.
It got us good.
I'm sorry, Chika-chan.
This isn't something you should be apologizing for.
It can't be helped, Chika.
But we were so looking forward to it. I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
These things happen.
Oh, the landlady.
It really is her.
Yo.
Hello! Is this a new job?
I have a day off today. I was going to go night fishing now.
Well, don't expect me to give you souvenirs or gifts.
Aw, I wouldn't have expected anything if you hadn't said something.
Who's that?
That's the landlady of Hidamari Apartments.
Oh yeah. That thing in Room 203.
I'll come and get it soon.
Okay. Anytime is...actually, please do it as soon as possible.
Bye.
That thing in 203?
Hello, Mr. Principal.
Hello students. How is your spring break?
We're enjoying it very much.
Your principal is doing his best every day.
Energy is the most important. Well then, farewell.
Bye.
Quick!
This is dangerous, so step aside please.
Yoshinoya-sensei?
Oh my, everyone's here.
And Chika-chan, it's been a while.
You remembered me.
Long time no see.
What're you doing?
Well, I made the principal mad again.
He said I have too much personal stuff here.
And to clean this all out during spring break.
Isn't it horrible?
Isn't this just the consequences of your actions?
What weird artwork.
Maybe you girls wouldn't mind helping me clean up?
Right, right? Please!
Umm...
What can I do to help?
Is there anything I can do to help?
Chika-chan, you're our guest today.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
For me to deliver this.
What is it?
Let's start by warming the pot up.
Well, then!
The blessings of the north sea's final hope.
Crab? Wow!
Miya-chan, you must've held on to this for a while.
I was hoping for its legs to get longer...
But today I will endure that no longer!
Is it because of me?
Yeah. Well, it'd be more fun to eat it with everyone.
Ah, that's so nice!
I wanna move here, too!
Denied.
No fair, Onee-chan.
You're having so much fun every day.
It's not like we're together every day.
Miya-chan, you can put the crab in.
Then, let's go!
So good!
Hot! Hot!
So hard with my sensitive tongue.
Nabe really hits the spot.
Here, Chika-chan. This leg's easy to eat.
Wah, thank you so much!
This sweetness is defnitely the blessing of the north sea.
That was the first time I've been to a public bath.
Ah, back to that story.
A seagull from the north, within the waves.
Flying slowly and alone.
Flowing to the harbor.
Tonight with the hazy moon.
It's enka! And very good at that!
Didn't I mention Miya-chan's a pro?
What? No way!
She might debut soon.
Nope, I won't. Next up is Yunocchi.
What? Me?
You know, outside the window...
Is the endless blue sky, which we look up at.
I am enjoying it on a dream glider.
This is "Dream Glider" right? Something's wrong...
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
That was wonderful, Yuno-san. Now, everyone sing this time.
The seasons return from winter to spring.
Like the constellations in cycles.
My season is now changing!
Well, that was definitely our gift for helping out.
Miya-chan, are you still waiting?
Oh, okay.
But that was really fun.
It isn't very often that you get to sing with your teacher in a bath.
It's been awhile since we shared a bath together.
Yeah.
What is it?
Ah, nothing.
Hehe, you were thinking that they've gotten bigger.
Actually, I thought you haven't changed much since you were little.
Really? You haven't changed much since junior high, either.
The topic is so subtle I can't join the conversation.
You just have to be objective in the reality.
What is it? Some kind of secret chat?
Let me hear, too!
It's nothing.
We thought about going to karaoke, but the place was closed so we were all disappointed.
Is that it?
If you want to sing, then let's sing here.
There's a nice echo in here, so let's all sing!
But...
It's fine, don't worry about it.
La la la la.
The beginning of love is always YAY!
Lululu, made up of little events!
Is Yoshinoya-sensei always like that?
Always, or always been?
I hope I have a fun teacher like that.
You can take her with you, but there's pros and cons to that.
Can I have the rest?
Even if I lie.
That's okay!
Or get mad.
That's okay!
Today I feel bad, I wanna do something evil.
That's okay! That's okay!
So just forgive me for today.
Will the people outside mind?
If somebody comes in, we'll stop.
I realized this afterwards, but I didn't really sing much.
Actually, I was pretty nervous too.
Nah, maybe you're getting used to the eccentricity of Yamabuki high.
So that's it!
Don't be so agreeable.
Ah, I'm full.
Miya-chan, when did you...
I thought it'd be a waste to throw away even one drop of that crab juice.
Good job.
I'll start cleaning up then.
There's still more.
Here we go.
Chika-chan, congratulations on passing.
This is for me?
Of course. This is your celebration.
Here, this present's from all of us.
Can I open it now?
Yeah.
You said you liked this in that store earlier.
What should I do? Receiving such a great thing.
Thank you so much, everyone!
You don't have to be so reserved. Here you go.
Thanks for the food!
Aren't you glad, Chika?
This is such a wonderful day!
Today's special, don't expect this kind of treatment for all of spring break.
Sae, no lectures today.
Your sister isn't very honest with her feelings.
I know that too well.
Having sisters is so nice.
I'm so full, I'm getting sleepy.
There's still snacks, but I guess you don't want it.
Eh, what kind of snacks?
The usual chocolate and senbei.
Nothing weird.
I'd like to try something weird.
Are you talking about that?
What "that"?
You know, the one with the "unnamable" commercial.
Ah, I remember!
I thought that thing would never come out.
It came out like usual.
It was being sold?
I didn't know.
So it really was a snack.
How did it taste?
Hmm, pretty bad.
Bad?
Disappointment.
Chika-chan, are you going to join any clubs in high school?
You were in the brass band.
But it was really tough, so I'm not so sure.
Then, how about something athletic?
Yeah. I do like to move my body.
If you do, you'll be a stark contrast to your sister.
It's not like I hate working out, I just like writing better.
But I can still run pretty fast.
And she's good at tennis.
In school, some people might joke that Sae is a boy.
I've been hearing that before...
But it's just a joke!
Now that you mention it, Sae plays male roles in theater.
Yeah, I understand. She did in junior high, too.
She's so tall and she looks like this.
She even got valentine chocolate from other girls in class.
I knew it!
What do you mean you knew it?
Sae-san, is that where you got that wealth of love stories to tell?
No way. Chika, don't tell such useless things.
It's nothing shameful to hide.
Sae is also cool from the eyes of a girl.
Whoa! What a bold statement!
No, that... It's not...
It's true. Sae-san is really cool!
Umm, did I say something weird?
Nope, Yunocchi. You're right.
Yuno-san, thank you for praising my sister.
You're welcome.
So, what should we do tomorrow?
If the weather's good, we can go out.
Sounds good. I'm also free tomorrow.
Then, shall we end the day, then?
Chika-chan, you're staying with Sae, right?
Yes, as long as there's no fight again.
It'll be alright.
But you're more than welcome to come by late at night again.
Then, good night.
Good night!
That was fun!
With all that happened, the day went by in a blur.
Yeah, it was fast.
It'd be nice if every day was like this.
Every day? You know, normally we live simple and thrifty lives.
Once you're in high school, you'll settle down a bit too.
I get it, you don't have to tell me.
But I guess I am jealous.
About what?
Living alone and helping out and playing with schoolmates.
Is it hard to see us as just schoolmates outside of this dorm?
And if you also leave home, mom and dad will be all alone.
Maybe so, but it's unfair that you get to go first.
Onee-chan.
What is it?
Did you pick those handkerchiefs with everyone?
No, looks like those three bought it without me.
Onee-chan?
Open it.
Okay.
It's beautiful.
You're going to high school now, so I thought I'd get you something more mature.
This is for me?
Yup.
Thank you, I'm so happy!
It's to celebrate, of course.
Okay!
What is this? Contest Gold Award?
Wow, they're good.
Even though I already took a bath today.
Oh well.
It would be a waste.
I wonder if Chika-chan's still awake.
Maybe they're sleeping together.
Yup, today is definitely okay.

Help me with some research. Do you believe in aliens or red threads of fate?
I think aliens and red threads are candid camera bits.
No way.
Hmm, I'm not too sure.
I believe in red threads. I wonder who I'm attached to?
The principal.
Anyone but him!
Maybe this isn't a good topic...
Next up, July 30, Saeta.
We're waiting at Hidamari Apartments. Please come and watch!
