Stay away!
If you come any closer, I'll bite my tongue!
Wait!
Since I have a fear of rabbits,
I look up to Lize-senpai, who always saves me from them.
You know, when you look closely, he's pretty cute...
If I had a personality like Lize-senpai's,
maybe I could've been more open about being poor...
It's a sale! Make way!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I shouldn't be imagining that!
I can't say that to Lize-senpai!
I-Imagining what?!
Cocoa...
Huh?
Isn't Chino in a bad mood today?
Huh?
Is she?
Chino-chan!
Cuddle, cuddle!
Please stop that, Cocoa-san.
Cocoa-san, you're in the way.
Chino-chan is always cold to me.
She always treats you like that?
Did something happen?
Yesterday, when I was playing with Cocoa-san in my room...
I'm going to the restroom.
See you soon!
And when I came back...
The puzzle I had enjoyed building little by little
every day was nearly finished.
Huh?!
And there was a piece missing.
That is depressing...
What?! But I thought it would make Chino-chan happy!
A-And that puzzle piece was missing to begin with!
I don't think she believes it was you who lost it...
But she must have been shocked, to have that enjoyment taken from her.
I... I...
I'm a failure as a big sister!
You should've apologized first...
Cocoa isn't back yet.
She didn't mean any harm. Why don't you forgive her?
But...
After I took that attitude with her,
I'm embarrassed to talk to her...
She didn't even notice, though.
Chino-chan!
I bought a new puzzle, so please forgive me!
8,000 pieces?!
You wanted us to help you...
...with this?
Please help!
We started on it, but it never seems to end.
Why don't you just tear it apart?
That would be a waste! Besides...
I can't bear to stop Lize-chan now.
This is fun!
T-True...
All right, then. I'll help you.
Really?!
I haven't put together a jigsaw puzzle in so long.
It's easiest to start with the edges, huh?
Time to combine with the section Chino-chan made!
That has to be right.
And we combine this with the section Lize-chan made!
Sharo-chan...
Should someone too useless to even find a match for one piece
really be here?
She suddenly turned negative.
I have no talent for puzzles...
What a pain.
S-Senpai, you go ahead!
No, yours looks more like a match.
Th-That's not true!
But, look, the shape...
No, no! You go first!
No, you...
It fits!
What's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing.
That's a good-looking rabbit.
Son, don't you think that rabbit looks just like me?
I'm starting to get tired of that...
What do you mean, you're tired of it?!
Everyone's starting to lose their focus.
Hey!
I made a heart!
Lize-senpai! If you're tired, please take a break!
Cocoa-san has been staring motionlessly at that piece for a while.
U-Um...
Don't feel like you need to take responsibility.
I'm not mad anymo—
She's asleep?!
G-Gotta keep trying a little longer!
It's almost finished!
You're right.
We're in the home stretch!
Yes!
There's nothing underneath the puzzle.
What will we do with it?
They didn't give that any thought?
I noticed it earlier,
but I couldn't say it because I was afraid this would happen...
I should've said it sooner! It's my fault!
Stop blaming yourself! You're making the atmosphere even gloomier!
I'm hungry...
I'll go make some pancakes.
I'll help you.
Looks like those two have reconciled naturally.
Huh? They were fighting?
Well, Chino was talking even less than usual, wasn't she?
Isn't she always like that?
Chino-chan is just shy...
Guess what! I can flip pancakes in the air now!
Watch! Here I go!
Let's see...
Chino-chan won't talk to me!
Do something about it yourself.
That was hot...
She totally hates me now...
They're almost done, so take them to—
I'll atone with my death
This?
It's terrible! Cocoa-san has died by ketchup!
Huh?
I'm sorry, Chino-chan.
I was cold towards you, as well.
But that was the first time we had a fight like sisters,
so I was kind of happy... a bit.
Huh?
Rabbits play dead to draw attention, too.
With that smile, you looked less like a rabbit
and more like an axolotl.
An axolotl, huh?
I'm not sure how to feel!
Thank you for the meal.
That was delicious.
Yeah!
This wire puzzle is hard.
My grandpa made it for me.
You like puzzle games, huh, Chino?
It was so hard, I tried over and over, but I couldn't solve it...
Someday, I'll solve it myself and surprise Grandpa!
But I wonder where that missing piece from the first puzzle went.
You always find things like that after you forget about them.
Sharo-chan once forgot her backpack at school.
She was crying that she wouldn't be able go to school the next day.
D-Don't talk about my past in front of Lize-senpai!
Chino-chan, is that...
The missing piece...
Thank goodness! Now you can finish it!
Yes.
Huh?
Wow...
Cocoa-san!
Yes? Call me "Onee-chan"...
Bunnisode 7
I won't!
Good morning, Chiya-chan!
Good morning, Cocoa-chan.
Is Chino-chan in a better mood?
She forgave me when morning came around.
Hm?
A hole...
Oh, no!
If you leave it like that, it'll stand out.
Would you rather cover it with a band-aid,
or color your skin black with a pen?
It's all right.
I guess that's one option!
Aren't the chestnut sweet potatoes Chino-chan's dad makes great?
Yes...
You're not going to eat?
I'm not hungry...
Is she depressed?
If something's bothering you, you can tell me.
Thanks... But it's okay.
This is my own problem.
Chiya is depressed?
That's right.
You didn't notice when I was mad,
but you notice when Chiya-san is acting different.
Chino-chan is... jealous?!
You're so dense, Onee-chan.
I'm still watching you, Chino-chan!
Puberty
When you won't take a bath with me,
I accept that you probably think you're too old for that,
and I've been thinking of ways to deal with rebellious phases.
Is "thinking of" the right term?
What are you, a father with a pubescent daughter?
Actually, something is bothering me, too...
If you're suffering, don't hold it in!
Just throw yourself into my arms!
I'm here for you. Tell me anything.
Any mental lapse can cost your life on the battlefield.
I feel like I've stopped growing.
All you can do is move forward.
She ignored us?!
I'm worried, so I'm going to go check on Chiya-chan.
It's already dark outside.
I wouldn't want something to happen...
I'll lend you this.
When you fire, keep your elbows in close and hold it with both hands.
I'd get arrested!
Ama Usa An
Sharo-chan!
What are you doing in front of Chiya-chan's house?
This morning, I sort of had a fight with Chiya
when she came to wake me up...
That's why she seemed down?
She tried to follow me, but I shook her off and went to school...
Sharo-chan!
I couldn't bear the guilt.
And you want to make up, huh?
But it was Chiya's fault, too!
She shoves milk in my face every morning, saying it'll help me grow!
Because my chest is flat!
I think she's more concerned about your height!
Chiya-chan was really sad.
I've never seen her look so down.
Sh-She was that sad?
Childhood friends are nice to have.
Let's go.
You won't be embarrassed if I'm with you, right?
That's not what makes it hard to go into the shop...
I'm scared of him!
Every time he sees my face, he bites me!
Then just leave him to me! I'll protect you!
Welcome... Huh?
A r-robbery?!
It's just me!
Cocoa-chan... What's going on?
A-Are you okay? You didn't eat lunch...
I'm not hungry.
You've taken the last order for the day, right?
I'm borrowing your kitchen!
That's not where the kitchen is!
That's about right.
You really look like you know what you're doing
when you make miso soup.
It makes me miss my mom.
C-Cut that out...
By the way, Mom...
The wakame seaweed still hasn't stopped expanding.
You put in too much!
I can't stop crying because of this onion!
If you're my daughter, stop getting in my way!
Are you two making dinner for me?
Y-You said you're not hungry,
so I wanted to make something light and healthy...
That makes me happy.
But Sharo-chan, instead of a mom...
Can you be the newlywed wife who thinks everything will be okay
as long as there's love, even if we're poor?
Don't eavesdrop on us!
Um...
I'm sorry I ran from you this morning.
Sharo-chan...
There, Chiya-chan. Now cheer up, okay?
I'm sorry... Actually...
Let's exchange lunches!
The chestnut sweet potatoes Chino-chan's dad made
were even better than the sweets I make,
but I was too embarrassed to tell you...
So that was it!
By the way...
There's something I wanted to give you this morning.
Huh? It wasn't milk?
This was stuck in a tree at our place.
You ran off to school so fast, I couldn't catch you...
Ama Usa An
You didn't run after me waving this around, did you?!
You Japanese-sweets-loving idiot!
White, huh?
Chino-chan, your dessert today is milk kanten?
It tastes like a dessert, but it has calcium,
so I thought it might help me grow taller.
Huh...
And if I'm lucky, my chest could grow, too...
That's thinking logically!
You think it'll work?
This is better than the kanten dessert we serve...
We're Fleur de Lapin!
We serve herbal teas!
Thank you!
How many flyers left...
G-G-Get off of those!
G-G-Get off, I said!
P-P-Please get off!
Please! Please! Please!
She's pleading with a rabbit...
Please! Please!
Come on.
Lize-senpai!
Thank you...
I don't often see you outside in that uniform.
I was appointed to hand out flyers for the
Summer Bread Festival that Cocoa came up with.
Welcome! Come on! Bread Festival All the fresh-baked bread you can eat!
Map → Here!
"All you can eat"...
But I'm working all day on Saturday...
Really? That's too bad.
I wanted to eat my fill of melon bread...
Well, I guess I'll get started.
If I hold them out like this, will people take them?
Yes!
Please come to Fleur de Lapin!
She's unintentionally promoting my café!
Is something wrong?
Cocoa-san, you spelled "Rabbit House" wrong.
This says "Horse," not "House."
Oh, no!
I-If we add a horse to our sign, that'll fix it!
No, it won't.
And why did you make Tippy say something
weird like "Welcome! Come on!"?
That's a creepy drawing of me.
My mistake is going to be seen all over town!
I'm going to go get the flyers back!
I was a fool for not checking them.
Please come see us!
Excuse me...
Yes?
Is this a naughty sort of café?
~Soothes Both Mind And Body~
It's a normal, wholesome café!
I see... You drink tea while revering girls in bunny ears...
Revering?!
That is certainly an idea.
I'll come visit soon, so have a seat ready for me.
Please don't talk to my thighs!
I guess she got the wrong idea because
I couldn't look her in the eye as I spoke...
Please come see us!
Is this a Rabbit House flyer?
Master... I can finally see you aga—
"Rabbit Horse"?
I guess it's a different café.
Stop handing out flyers!
Oh, Sharo-san...
I spelled it wrong!
What?
I didn't even notice!
We can't help it now. We'll correct the ones that are left...
Please stay still.
I actually became a horse...
Oh, a big bug fell off the branch...
Why did this happen?!
This is a surprising side of you.
You're surprisingly reliable yourself.
They come in through gaps in my house...
...er, almost never.
Yet you're scared of rabbits...
This little one should be okay, right?
Well, i-if it won't bite...
What do I...
S-Squeak, squeak?
Rabbits make noise?!
I don't think they say it that clearly...
Rabbits make squeaking noises.
Really?
I'm questioning her when I get home!
Ama Usa An
Thanks for coming to our bread festival today.
I'm glad it was a success.
You weren't there long, so here's some bread for you.
Thank you!
Anyway, do you know where Sharo lives?
Huh?
She couldn't come because of work,
so we wanted to give her some bread.
I think she lives in a big house with a red roof, but...
Well...
Forgot to buy dinner...
Have we been...
...gravely mistaken?
W-We always forced our own fantasies on you...
I always admired you, and not because you were rich...
She's trying to make me feel better!
By the way, Sharo-chan, where do you live?
This little shed right here!
I see... So you were our school's scholarship student.
I couldn't bring myself to say it...
All right, to make it fair, I'll tell you my secret.
Huh?
See... I like to give my stuffed rabbits miniature guns.
Is that weird?
I know what you mean!
I like putting little dishes and things next to my dolls, too!
You do the same thing?
Are they on the same vector?
Yeah!
I'm so happy!
I'm so embarrassed...
They saw my house...
But you understand now, right?
Even knowing you're not rich, none of them are disillusioned.
You're still Sharo-chan.
Chiya...
I'm a little sad that a secret between the two of us is out, though.
Why?
Well, let's have some bread.
Don't use my teacup collection without asking me!
Oh, there's lots of melon bread.
Isn't that nice?
What is this?!
My picture's gone!
I put up a new one.
Say what?!
Take a good look, Dad.
Don't those five remind you of anyone?
What?
Well...
I suppose this isn't so bad.
Now that I look closer, the one in the middle looks like me!
Next Time: Wet with Pool Water, Wet with Rain, Wet with Tears
Yes. It makes a person honest.
I want to be honest with this feeling.
It seems Chino is more touched by the sunset.
I... Wait, I also...
We Look Forward to Seeing You Again!
