And you know, going swimming together last weekend was fun and all, but...
Sorry for the wait!
Let's go sometime.
How about next Sunday?
"The season for self-satisfaction", huh?
I'm home!
It's so hot...
Kobato, you-- air conditioner?
An-chan~
Hey, I'm back.
Did you get an air conditioner?
Yeah, but they won't install it for another three days.
Th-three days?
Honestly, humans are so worthless.
How interesting!
Well then, in the mean time, I shall have to amuse myself in this purgatory.
I am Reisis V. Felicity Sumeragi.
Even if this body were burned in a fire of twenty million degrees,
I would still be the lively, rightful Queen of the Great Night.
What if you dressed in some lighter clothes?
This dress is the embodiment of my dark power,
and cannot be so easily substituted!
Yeah, yeah.
Do you want some barley tea?
Did we have this episode?
Ah, this was recorded yesterday, huh?
Here.
You've managed to corner me.
Observe: my true form!
Binding unlock style technique - Magical Power Unleashed!
This is my true form.
This is your true form?
Concludes next week?
An-chan!
B-Binding unlock st-sty-style technique!
Be sure to watch carefully!
Put the clothes you're taking off in the laundry.
Magical Power Unleashed!
This is my true form!
Plagiarism?
It's not plagiarism!
You could call this the release of my true powers.
As one would expect from this so-called "season of hell".
Ah, whatever.
Kobato, I'm about to head to the club.
Do you want to come along?
Since you're dressed like that, you can go out, right?
The air conditioner in the club room should be working, too.
I'll go.
Kobato...
Hm?
Those are clothes you wore in elementary school, right?
You're in the second year of junior high, but you don't really seem to have grown...
What should I do, An-chan!?
Am I not going to grow up?
If you think about it, it's because I'm a noble of the night.
My body will never become old and decrepit.
I see,
it's great that you won't get decrepit..
You're still going to get old and decrepit, though, Kobato..
Hey.
You're late!
Thank you for coming, Aniki.
Onii-chan!
Hey, long time no see!
Guess what, guess what?
Yukimura gave me sushi today!
And yesterday was steak. Yukimura is such a great person!
Sushi?
Stea-
You ordered me to give Maria delicious food,
so I've been trying with my heart and soul.
I certainly did say that, but you're going a bit too far.
Back when you made me take that weird medicine,
I swore to God, "That fucking transvestite... I'm going to chop off his dick", but now it's different.
Thank you, Yukimura!
You should be thanking Aniki.
Thank you! Onii-chan, I love you!
Idiot~! Idiot! Idiot!
An-chan hates bulging fat growing pigs like you!
What did you say?
Who are you?
I'm An-chan's little sister, of course!
Kobato-chan!
You're the vampire!
You won't trick me, you abominable incarnation of darkness!
Get lost!
Take this!
The vampire bit me!
Why did she bite me?
Idiot! Idiot, idiot!
That's what vampires do. They bite.
Did you know, Underling of God?
Those bitten by vampires turn into vampires themselves!
I-Is that true, Onii-chan?
Well, that's what they say...
I'm gonna turn into a vampire~
Maria? Apparently if you shower yourself with the sun's rays immediately after getting bitten,
you won't turn into a vampire.
Really?
Really.
However, it won't work if your clothes are in the way, so you have to do it nude.
Understood. Thank you, Yozora!
You...
She really is dumb.
What?
Don't stare at me like that...
Kobato-chan, you're so cute!
Hey, why did you stop with the goth-loli stuff?
Image change?
I released my true power.
I don't know what you're mean, but you're so cute~!
As always, you're so cute it hurts!
An-chan...
Sweetie, what kind of panties do you have on right now?
You guys...
Now, let's get you undressed...
What shall we do, Kobato-chan?
I wonder if I'll be able to win you over?
Cut it out, perverts!
Sunshine!
God's sunshine!
But summer vacation sure is boring...
Yeah, they could have given us ten times as much summer homework.
Save me from that.
With this much free time, what do other people do?
Well, you go and play with friends...
All those self-satisfied people can just go and die.
Can't they go and die too?
Don't go so far as to kill game characters...
Hmph, if I were the game creators, I would make a shark show up during that scene.
A shark?
Why are you saying such deranged things?
If a shark suddenly showed up in this scene and ate all the girls and scattered around their body parts,
I would recognize this a godly game.
There's no reason for such a stupid development.
And anyway, this scene takes place in a pool.
Kyaaa, it's a shark!
Anyway, there's no way it's a real shark...
It'll be a remote-controlled shark or someone in a suit...
I guess it's one of the normal clichés, you know?
Why is there a great white shark here!?
WHY!?
It's fine! This is a comedy after all.
Comedies sometimes do the "shark appears in a pool" gag.
I expect the main protagonist will dispatch the shark and everyone's impression of him will increase.
NOOO~ MIZUKI~!!
Well, seems like it's godly game after all.
More like it was a shitty game!
That was "The Tale of St. Jaws Academy," wasn't it?
What of it?
The gossip was right, that was a really bad ending.
If you don't trigger the right flag, then no matter what, you end up with the bad ending.
That bad ending really has no connection to the story, and basically just ends the game in a brutal scene,
which apparently made this game quite famous for its idiocy.
The world of dating sims can be profound.
Even so, I want to go to the pool...
You say that after watching a scene where all the heroines get eaten by a shark?
Are you suicidal?
Why does it have to be about that?
It doesn't really have anything to do with that shitty game.
I just thought it would be nice to go to the pool.
What?
I was certain that you'd just come to the conclusion that you were actually edible meat. I was worried.
You should be grateful.
Th-thanks...
Pool... I want to go too.
Kobato-chan, you want to go to the pool?
Then how about you go with me?
That's disgusting, Meat!
The pool, huh?
The hang-out place for those self-satisfied people...
If we make friends, we'll end up at the pool at some point, too.
It's not something that you need to think hard about.
If it's the Palace of the Dragon King Land, Kodaka and I...
Hm?
Nothing.
Well, if we make it a Neighbors Club activity, it'd be okay for everyone to go, right?
Sort of like a dress rehearsal.
That's true.
And we have time to spare anyway... shall we try it?
Yay!
Kodaka-senpai, please don't get too aroused by my appearance in my swimsuit, okay?
You've got that anyway - a white lab coat or something like that which you'll wear over your swimsuit.
How do you...?
If that's the case, then I've got to pick an incredibly sexy swimsuit, since I'm trying to bewitch Senpai.
Low-leg...
String bikini...
Brazilian bikini...
Band-aids...
Nude...
Pride!
What were those last three for?
She looks like she's having fun.
Senpai~!
Over here~!
Everyone's here early.
You were just slow.
We weren't even supposed to be meeting here.
When we arrived, it was already like this.
What's with this rush-hour situation?
Yozora, you look pale. Are you all right?
I'm nauseous.
Eh?
It's not the bus, it's the crowd.
I'm not feeling good.
Here.
I don't need it.
I'm not going to throw up.
I am not going to throw up, no matter what.
Rika is doing her best too.
You too?
For a hikikomori, this congestion is...
But I'll be fine.
If I do get sick, though, I'll use Kodaka-senpai's lower half to replenish my energy!
I-Is that so?
By the way, Yozora-senpai saying "I'm not going to throw up. I'm not going to throw up" is somehow exciting me.
Which are you feeling, good or bad?
Kobato-chan, when we get to the pool, what do you want to do?
Swim.
That sounds good!
Shall I teach you how to swim?
It's fine, I can swim.
So you can swim?
What's your specialty?
Long-distance swimming.
Well then, shall we do that together?
No.
Oooh, it's good when you're cold towards me, too!
So this is what they call a 'tsundere' person, huh?
Are you okay?
Help me, An-chan...
Did you get hit somewhere?
They are so cute.
They look so similar. Think they're sisters?
We're finally here.
Senpai...
How was that, Kodaka?
I didn't throw up.
Yeah. Good job, good job...
We didn't throw up, Yozora-senpai.
That being said, there are a ton of people, aren't there?
Last time I came here, there weren't this many.
I guess since it's hot, all the common folk wanted to come here.
What an annoying sun.
However, in my true form, nothing can defeat me.
I want to get into the pool right now.
Aniki...
So this is the reason for the mass of people.
They seem completely desperate...
We should have come in July.
Well, it'll be cheaper, so it's fine, right?
I'd rather pay twice as much than be stuck with this crowd.
Bargains... Time-service... they should all be destroyed!
That would bother me...
In any case, shall we go?
Sorry for the wait.
Here.
Well then, let's meet up in front of the showers after we change.
A girl?
Aniki, as I thought, I'm the kind of person that guys hate.
No, it's not that...
Even though he looks like this, he's a proper guy...
Uh...
As expected from Aniki...
I guess this place is fine.
Well then, shall we change?
Sure, Aniki.
Why are you going so far as to wear a girls' swimsuit!?
Yozora-anego insisted that I should wear a girls' swimsuit too.
Why did you ask Yozora for advice on a swimsuit?
Anego is my adviser.
She said that if I want to become a real man, I have to challenge myself beyond a simple maid outfit.
This is too much of a challenge!
And anyway, I brought a men's swimsuit too.
That is...
Yes, it's what they call a fundoshi.
Please wear the women's swimsuit, I beg you.
Well then, Aniki can wear the fundoshi.
I politely refuse!
Hey, Kobato-chan, shall I help you change?
NO!
Shall I help?
Yes please.
Calm down. This is a guy...
There you go.
That helped a lot, Aniki.
Certainly, that seems pretty hard to put on and take off by yourself...
What's wrong, Aniki?
Why are you hiding your chest?
My chest isn't very abundant, so it's embarrassing.
But if Aniki says he wants to see it...
I don't want to see it!
Just forget about it and get changed.
Understood.
Why were you guys even slower than us?
Sorry, there were some unexpected difficulties with changing.
Why are you wearing a girl's swimsuit?
I don't know what to say.
Where are Yozora and Rika?
They'll come after taking a little rest.
Ah, they looked like they needed it...
I'm going to go swim first.
It's cold~!
An-chan, hurry up!
This is...
It's even more crowded than I expected.
I can't swim here.
It seems like that would be difficult.
This mass of people is pretty irritating.
Isn't there at least going to be a shark?
You're extending that shitty game to the real world?
When Yozora and Rika get here, let's go try the wave pool or the water slide.
Hmph, it's completely different from before.
That's true, last time it was just the two of us.
Yeah, that's right...
And you got really pissed at me...
That's because you...
It's fine.
It's just... Why did you say "thank you" on the way back?
Ugh, Yozora and Rika are so slow!
I guess so...
I'm going to go and check on them.
She seemed to get flustered...
I see. At that time, it was just the three of us in the Neighbors Club.
The number of club members has increased since then.
I can't really say that we've made the friends we set out for,
but if I think about it, things have really changed.
Kodaka!
I got this mail from Yozora.
Yozora!
Kodaka!
An-chan?
Yozora, Rika!
Hey! Wait, Yozora!
That idiot.
I was going to show off my splendid swimming, too...
Maybe things haven't changed yet...
Kodaka?
Oh, nothing...
Shall we go home?
Yeah.
