Ta-da!
A shop?
The ribbon!
If you're here to take Minawa-chan, I won't hesitate to attack.

Welcome home.
Are you tired?
I'm going out for a little while.
I've left a snack for you
On the small memo table.
I'm always, always feeling it.
Today, on this day
I will store each passing moment in my heart.
Come, let us go
With our arms waving wide
Down this road, this miraculously blue sky.
I want to become like the wind someday
So that I can tell you...
We're here!
It's finally done!
It's looking pretty good.
Hey, can I go now?
You're finally here?
Eh? What about Suguru?
He's at school. He'll come by later.
Minawa-chan too?
Yeah. And Mahoro-san as well, probably...
Part 2
Welcoming Sky
Hey, what are you doing?!
Mahoro-san!
Minawa-chan!
Suguru-san, I'm counting on you!
Hang in there.
Oh no, not again...
A hole...
Everyone worked so hard to make it, and yet...
Mahoro-san.
What's this?
It's over already? My, my.
It seems that Mahoro is completely overwhelming them.
Well then, should we finish this with a bang?
Mahoro-san!
I summon the Sylpheed!
What's that?
Fireworks, maybe?
Were they doing a show like that?
How's your leg?
370. No...
Minawa, was it?
Did I go a bit overboard?
Who...?
227.
I'm named Peldrance.
No one calls me that, though.
Why?
Are you curious?
Of course you are.
It was us who sent you here, after all.
It was pretty tough.
Of course, we have no intention of taking you back.
We finally got you here.
If we don't put on some sort of show, we might be suspected by the higher-ups.
With this, you'll no longer have any worries.
Isn't that right?
Are you... hurt?
V1046R.
Well, I did attack Mahoro.
Some damage is to be expected.
Also...
No matter how much we bleed, or how many tears we shed...
...it won't mean anything in the end.
Even if we act human,
we're nothing but tools.
You shouldn't forget that, either.
Um...
Minawa-chan!
Are you alright?
Yes.
Was someone here?
N-No.
Minawa-chan, Suguru-san.
Sorry for putting you through that.
Thank goodness you're both safe, Mahoro chan, Minawa-chan.
I'm sorry.
There's no need to apologize.
Yes, but still...
Ah, right, this.
We made a decision.
A decision to protect you, Minawa-chan.
Me?
Yes, no matter what happens.
Minawa-chan.
If something makes you happy, then smile.
If something makes you sad, then cry.
Right now, your heart...
...is full of sadness.
So from now, experience many things.
Feel many things.
That's human nature, after all.
Little by little, fill your heart...
...with as many happy and enjoyable things as possible.
I don't understand...
But it's a strange feeling.
How do I describe it?
There is no need to hurry.
Don't rush, and take it one step at a time.
That's right.
By the way, Mahoro-san...
The uniform is all torn up...
But it's only the stitching, so I can repair it right away.
More importantly, the school is...
Yeah.
What should we do? The café isn't ready yet, either.
Why don't you leave this to me?
Ryuga!
Ryuga-sensei!
I am very sorry. It seems that my arrival is belated.
How careless of me.
Slash!
Even though I noticed a suspicious presence since yesterday...
As a token of gratitude, I'll take care of the cleanup.
You will?
It's nothing. With Saint's technology, this kind of thing is a breeze.
Besides...
This is my workplace.
If you're saying all that...
Thank you very much.
Relax.
Something like this won't even come close to repaying you.
Besides...
You need to repair that uniform as well, don't you?
Y-Yeah...
I mean, like that...
...your panties will show!
Oh, I can already see everything from here.
Your master is violent, as usual.
I'm just satisfied that I didn't get another lecture today...
Minawa-chan?
What's wrong?
Um, Onee-chan...
Suguru-san.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Oh no! We're late, we're late!
We still haven't finished preparing it yet!
Suguru never came back last night, either.
I wonder if the cake is finished?
I'm looking forward to it.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning.
It looks like we made it in time.
Our strange friends have arrived!
Um, everyone...
Am I really going to be a waitress as well?
Of course!
We've worked so hard together to get ready.
Let's all work together again today!
B-But...
The stage should belong to all of you.
It's almost time to open.
The tables and chairs are all prepared!
The coffee is ready... probably.
The cake and cookies look delicious!
Don't eat any.
30 seconds until opening!
Good luck, everyone!
One, two...
Let's all do our best!
Our best... our best!
How many customers?
There's a ton of them!
Well then, here we go!
Ready, set...
Welcome back, Master!
Have a safe trip, Master.
Here's your order. One specialty cheesecake and red tea for two.
Here! It's a chiffon cake.
It looks delicious!
Hey Chizu, do some work.
A new cheesecake is on its way.
What's wrong, Suguru?
Eh, that's...
Here, hold this.
What is this?
Isn't it obvious? It's business.
Business?
But a lot of customers showed up, so do we really...
What are you talking about! We're not done yet!
More and more customers need to come!
Now that you mention it, I guess so...
And things were going so well at first...
That's why we have to go on the offensive.
Let's go.
Eh? Me and you?
Yeah. Got a problem with that?
W-What's going on?
Well then, let's go.
Y-Yeah.
Have a safe trip!
Oh, they're all lining up.
Touch!
Let's go, Suguru-kun.
Eh? Again?
Of course. You'll be accompanying me.
Have a safe trip!
Touch!
Let's enjoy ourselves, Suguru-kun!
Yeah, yeah.
Why is it only Suguru? I'm so jealous...
Um, where do I put the used plates?
Minawa-chan! I'll do things like that!
I touched Minawa-san's hands! Her hands!
I envy your idiocy sometimes.
Have a safe trip!
Meow!
I'm stuffed.
I'm full, I'm full!
There aren't any...
...customers, are there?
Whoa...
My cakes!
You already ate a ton of them.
We never thought they would sell out so fast.
I was surprised.
Well then, everyone.
I prepared for this in advance and baked a congratulatory cake for you all.
Let's eat it together.
Thanks for all your hard work today.
Eh? There was one left?
This one's special.
That's Mahoro-san for you!
Everything she does is perfect.
You're very welcome.
Here she comes!
One, two, ta-da!
Since it was an emergency, we bought this from the supermarket next door.
How does it fit?
It's perfect.
Right, right?
I'm sorry we didn't make the uniform well enough...
No, no, it isn't your fault.
Well then, it's time for your break, Mahoro-san.
But hasn't the shop closed already?
You haven't seen the festival yet, right?
You too, Suguru-kun.
T-Then...
Shall we go?
Sure.
They're gone.
Yeah.
Must be nice. Those two are so lovey-dovey.
Lovey-dovey?
M-Minawa-chan!
What is lovey-dovey?
Lovey-dovey is... it's...
Why is your nose bleeding?
A-Anyways,
Minawa-chan, do you want to spend some time with me...
Minawa-chan?
Let's all go to the festival together.
I'll show you the stands with the tastiest food!
Ah, okay.
Let's go, then!
Um...
Hamaji.
Wow! What a large poster.
There's a crepe stand over there.
Minawa-chan, where do you want to go?
Is there something you want to do?
Or maybe something you want to eat?
Um, um...
What's over there?
That was fun.
Minawa-chan, aren't you tired?
No, I'm having a lot of fun.
We haven't even gone through half the food district yet.
You eat too much.
I wonder what Suguru-kun is doing?
I'm sure he's with Mahoro-san.
I know that much!
We saw them off earlier.
I said I know...
Perhaps...
Do all of you have lovey-dovey feelings for Suguru-san?
My Onee-chan has love-dovey feelings for Suguru-san too!
Um, Miyuki-san? Rin-san?
It's nothing.
Well, we've been around Suguru for a long time now.
But Suguru-kun is so cheerful right now...
...because of Mahoro-san, right?
Yeah.
Suguru-san, haven't you been here many times with the others already?
Hmm, I guess so.
But a fun place is fun, no matter how many times you visit it.
Our friends are all very good people.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a nice song.
Yeah.
I'm sure a wonderful person is playing it.
My head hurts.
Is it a hangover?
Hiryu 4th Junior High's diligent instructor, Ryuga Toh...
...will now begin!
Thank you, thank you.
That Ryuga's enjoying himself too much.
Wow!
So pretty.
Fireworks like this really are a fitting end to a festival.
No, we still have to eat these last taiyaki!
You're still eating?
Hey!
Hamaji! Kawahara!
Hey! You were over there?
Suguru-san?
Yes, Mahoro-san?
Can you open the door a little?
It's dark, so I can't see very well.
Oh, sure.
I-I'm sorry!
It's alright.
Did you have fun today, Mahoro-san?
Yes, I had a lot of fun.
While spending the day with you and everyone else...
...it really felt as if I had become your classmate.
It'd be nice if we could keep spending time like from now on.
Next year, and the year after that...
Always...
Next year...
Yes, I'm sure we'll...
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Mahoro-san, those clothes definitely fit you the best.
But...
This is a precious treasure.
Yeah, you're right.
Come on, let's go!
Everyone's waiting.
Yeah.
There they are.
Hey! Mahoro-san!
You're late!
Onee-chan, Suguru-san.
Misato-kun!
I think I drank too much!
Sensei, what's with that get-up?
