That will be 600 yen.
Out of 1,000 yen, your change is 400 yen.
Thank you very much.
Yay! I'm gonna order!
She's hyper!
Hey... The way Syaro's acting... don't tell me...
She said she couldn't bear the
humiliation of everyone finding out she's poor,
so I suggested a coffee binge tour.
You could've suggested something else!
This is our third stop.
I've been to lots of places, but Rabbit House's coffee is the best!
But just look at the way she's beaming.
She just looks like she's on a caffeine high...
Really?! I'm so happy!
I'm gonna cuddle you!
I'm glad she likes coffee now.
I don't think that's quite right...
Ten thousand feet up the Alps,
It bothered her so much, she got herself drunk?
high up Mount Koyari...
She does know that no one else is bothered by it, but...
Yeah, I still feel like I could learn from how ladylike she is.
I would probably fit in better at school that way...
Please watch me, Father.
Marksmanship is an essential skill for a lady.
You must be tired, Miss.
Please enjoy some coffee while you rest.
Oh, my. Thank you.
I got 'em! I got 'em!
I nailed every last one of 'em!
The demon of the battlefield has just been born!
What a wonderful phrase!
Bunnisode 8
Wet with Pool Water, Wet with Rain, Wet with Tears
To wash off the sweat from a hard day's work,
we've all come to play in a hot springs pool today.
Wow! It's like a castle!
It's an old building that was remodeled.
I've never been in a hot spring in my swimsuit before.
We get to swim and bathe at the same time.
Two birds with one stone!
I should have brought a swim ring...
Well, I brought this...
Here.
Swim fins?
I don't need those.
Step, step, step, step...
Cocoa-chan, that looks great on you!
Thanks!
This is actually my first time wearing a bikini.
Chino-chan, your swimsuit is cute, too.
Isn't it?!
Why do you sound proud of that, Cocoa-chan?
Chiya-san, you look different from usual. It's lovely.
I normally choose more subdued colors,
but since I'm with young people, I should experiment, right?
How old are you, anyway?
Where's Rize-chan?
Wh-What?
It's like flavoring that makes use of the basic ingredients!
Huh?
Chiya let me use one of her old swimsuits.
It's a little loose...
But if I tie the strings tight... it'll work!
Syaro-chan!
Huh?!
Your strings are digging in.
Get a clue!
Syaro-chan, that swimsuit looks very good on you.
Yeah! It looks great!
But it's a little...
Um, Rize-san...
If you don't mind, would you braid my hair, too?
Sure, no problem.
How's that?
I love it. Thank you very much.
Chino-chan, you're so cute!
Senpai, you're amazing!
Rize-chan, you're really good with your hands.
M-My hair is long, too,
so I get to make braids a lot...
Say, will you braid my hair, too?
S-Sure, I guess...
If only I had long hair,
I could have gotten Senpai to braid mine, too...
Your hands move like you're used to it!
It's beautiful.
Th-This is normal...
I've never seen anyone who was so good at that!
You're so lucky you can do all that with hair...
Seriously, I'm just normal!
Whoa! That's too amazing!
Th-That's just a little...
Huh? She's happy with it?
This feels great.
It reminds me of when I got in trouble
for swimming in a public bath when I was little.
This isn't a public bath, though.
Syaro-chan, do you still go to public baths often?
Sometimes... Just sometimes.
Not big ones like this, though.
I wonder if she's talking about when she borrows my bath.
It's lukewarm...
This is no bath!
You're an old-fashioned girl, aren't you?
Hey, furball.
At this temperature, I bet you could get in, too.
There's a tub over there that's the perfect size for Tippy.
Don't be so reluctant. Don't you like hot springs?
Do you turn into a regular rabbit when wet?
This hot spring is said to be good for high blood pressure and joint pain.
Is it good for promoting growth, too?
There aren't many people here today.
And I was looking forward to taking on
some of the tough players at this hot spring...
Want to play with me, then?
You're on, Chino!
She's playing for both sides...
That's pretty advanced.
Shall we do some swimming ourselves?
Uh, I'm not much of a swimmer...
I've never swum in a deep pool before.
That's surprising!
Okay, then I'll teach you!
Watch me. This is the crawl.
You should probably learn how to swim all over again.
Okay, it's time to start our special training to teach Rize-chan to swim!
Hang on.
If we're swimming, I think it's a good idea to stretch first.
Yeah.
Warm-ups are important, huh?
She's flexible!
Syaro-chan!
We can't let her beat us in expressions of physical beauty!
What are you doing?
That was a good game.
Yes.
Chino-chan!
Can I play a match with you?
I've never played chess,
but it's similar to shogi, right?
Okay. I'll play you.
Since we're playing, why don't we make a wager?
How about, if I win,
you'll show me what Tippy looks like when he's wet?
What?
All right.
If I win, Cocoa-san has to call me Onee-san.
Why are you bringing me into this?!
Then...
We'll start with a breath-holding contest!
Why are we starting with that?
One, two...
Cocoa!
A-Are you all right?!
I win!
Don't pick such a misleading way to go under!
Okay, round two!
We're doing it again?!
What's she doing?
Rabbit charades?
The right?
No, a gun?
I have no idea what that is.
A narcissist?
What was I?
The answer to all of them was Rize-chan!
I don't look like that!
You're in check.
I'm not finished yet.
If Chiya-chan loses, my pride as the older sister is doomed!
It's just us two...
H-How about we practice with a kickboard for now?
I'd rather do the one where someone pulls your hands!
Rize-senpai is more childlike than I thought...
I thought you were good at all sports, Senpai.
I've never had any chances to swim.
Our school has no swimming classes.
Learning from someone younger than me is a little embarrassing.
But she's not embarrassed about being pulled by her hands?
I'll get good enough to be able to save you if you're drowning!
I-I couldn't trouble you with—
Theoretical training already?!
I got so nervous, my leg cramped...
You can do it, Chiya-chan! Put her in chest!
You mean "checkmate"?
If you lose now, I'm going to look ridiculous!
Be quiet, Tippy.
Right.
A common soldier should not defy the queen
until it is reborn as a noble!
Cocoa-chan, could you stop playing the parts of the pieces?
Chino, now! Right there!
Chiya-chan! Up! Behind you!
Go! You can do it!
I can't concentrate...
You really are amazing, Senpai!
It's all thanks to your training.
It's because you learn so fast.
I didn't really do anything.
I didn't know swimming was this fun.
Thanks, Syaro!
So, next...
Let's use those and swim deeper!
But even I can't do that, Senpai...
What is this?
It's soft!
It looks yummy!
What are you doing in the bath?
Is it the owner's pet?
Look, it stretches!
It does!
Chino! Save me!
The nighttime view is so pretty! It feels great!
The evening breeze feels nice.
I feel like, if I listen closely,
I can hear what's going on in the town through those lights.
It's beautiful.
That house says the little sister is making her special curry tonight.
How nice...
The married couple in that house
is fighting tonight.
That ruined it.
We bought drinks.
Let's have them together.
With coffee milk...
With fruit milk...
Cheers!
Onee-chan!
This is how you drink coffee milk!
Chino won, huh?
We'll have to see if the rabbit master will be in CG.
Yeah.
And that scene with the coffee beans...
I can't wait to see how they portray that in movie form!
You sound excited, Chiya-chan.
Well, I'm seeing a movie with everyone.
I'll have to thank that customer who gave me the tickets.
Um, if you'd like...
The Barista Who Became a Rabbit
I have some extra free tickets.
Cocoa-chan, you look sleepy.
Yeah. I wanted to show Chino-chan the results of my training last night...
We had a quiz on coffee brands.
From the left, they're mocha, Blue Mountain, and instant!
They're all Kilimanjaro.
So you couldn't sleep well after drinking all that coffee?
I've been awake the whole time...
What?! You mean you haven't slept at all?
Come on... we're seeing a movie after school!
If I drink some coffee, I think I'll hold out until evening...
What?!
By the way...
We're all meeting at the movie theater, right?
Yes.
She seems tired.
Was she so excited about the movie, she couldn't sleep?
I can't sleep well before trips and stuff, either...
My exhaustion from work is hitting all at once.
We were busier than usual yesterday...
When you're done with the dishes, can you make a delivery?
Yes!
Senpai looks bored!
Is being with me that boring?!
By the way...
We're all meeting at the movie theater, right?
Huh?
Ah, I'm sleepy...
I shouldn't have stayed up all night with Cocoa...
Don't dub weird voices over me, please.
You always look tired, don't you, Chino?
Not always.
I don't let customers see me like this when I'm working.
Oh... You change your expression when you're working?
Maybe having Tippy on her head awakens another side of her?
I get it!
Would you clean up, please?
Let's think up some other things we can put on Chino's head to wake her up!
Mop Chicken Cotton
There's also...
Would you forget that and clean up, please?
Rain...
It's raining?
Maybe another day would've been better to see the movie...
No, we all happened to have a day off from work today.
Cocoa-chan?
Let's go, Chiya-chan!
It feels good to run through a little shower!
Cocoa-chan...
I wonder who'll get there first?
I hope Chino-chan and the others are okay...
I'm sorry!
I didn't say it because you looked like you were having fun running,
but I have a folding umbrella!
It's raining...
I didn't bring an umbrella.
That is a problem.
Should we wait until it stops?
Or call someone to get us?
Come to think of it, I've heard that soldiers
don't use umbrellas because they get in the way.
Is that true?
I can't aim with one hand!
That's true... It's inconvenient to have one hand occupied.
I'm running!
Senpai?!
I shouldn't have said that!
Sorry I'm late.
Oh, Chino-chan!
You made it okay?
We didn't expect it to rain.
We're all soaked!
But I think it woke me up.
Yeah, I don't feel sleepy anymore.
Oh! I forgot how tired I was, too!
I think I might be able to stay awake.
I was actually sleepy, too...
What?! That's the first I've heard this!
Oh, look, everyone!
The sun is shining through the clouds.
It's pretty.
If this were a movie,
I wouldn't be surprised to see the credits rolling now.
That ended fast!
When the light shines through clouds like that,
it's called an "angel's staircase."
It's beautiful.
Really? I learned that it's called "the sun's snot."
That ruined it.
Wait.
Use these.
They're extras I didn't use in gym class.
That's our Rize-chan!
I'll dry your hair.
You don't have to. I didn't get that wet.
Chino, you had an umbrella, right?
Come on, we need to dry it, or your hair will get frizzy.
Tippy brought it for me.
Come on, you're not my mother...
He's pretty handy!
Well, shall we go in?
I'll go buy some popcorn.
Anyone else want a drink?
I get treated like a child all the time, too.
Excuse me! A popcorn and two sodas, please!
I know how you feel!
Her hair gets really frizzy, though...
Why did you roast it for that long?!
Only five minutes in, and my tear glands are...
I'll cuddle him. You run!
I'm the older sister...
I can't cry next to Chino-chan!
I don't want Cocoa-san to catch me crying.
She'll make fun of me...
I'm a rabbit! I can't make coffee.
Light-roasted coffee tastes more acidic.
Chino-chan...
Kind of like you are now.
That's right...
If you're a man, then act like one!
It's better to be honest with our feelings.
These teeth aren't for grinding coffee beans!
This is my first time in a movie theater.
Give this kopi luwak to her...
The screen is so big...
Stop this! If you roast it any longer, you'll...!
I think it's bigger than our TV at home.
Your eyes are like lakes in the moonlight.
I could use that in our menu.
Then you are the moon that reflects in my lake.
B-Be quiet, stomach!
White and round...
I should've bought something instead of brushing it off...
Cuddling the moon... You are indeed the evil queen of the night.
Rabbit House...
I've finally come here.
When I see the master,
I must look him in the eye confidently when I speak.
Thank you for waiting. Here is your spaghetti vongole.
Welcome.
I looked into the eyes of a man who isn't the master!
That was a great movie!
You slept through the second half?
It was such a good movie, and now you can't talk about it with us!
B-But I did read the book...
She still doesn't remember it very well.
But the old man who turned into a rabbit was so cool!
And the old lady with the rival Japanese sweets shop!
Her passion shot right through my heart!
Sounds like a story I've heard somewhere before.
Though they fought over such silly things...
The old man was cool...
...but the bartender's son who saved the café
with jazz music was even cooler!
What?!
He was just like my dad.
Wow, Tippy is really expressive today!
I bet he enjoyed it most of all!
I'm going to the restroom.
We'll wait here.
When Rize-chan gets back...
Chino-chan?
Are you sleepy?
Oh... No, I'm fine.
Come on!
Huh?
I'll carry you home on my back!
I'm not a child.
It's fine! I don't mind!
Well, I mind.
Aww...
Don't "aww" me.
You just want to carry me on your back.
Maybe you shouldn't, Cocoa-chan. Aren't you tired, too?
If you fell, it'd be a disaster.
In that case...
Are we starting a game of chicken, or something?!
As long as you're a barista at heart, even a rabbit can make coffee!
Oh, that's a line from the movie yesterday.
Maybe I'll try to become a real barista, too.
And Rize-chan, you'll be my bartender, or my sommelier.
You're so easily influenced...
Wouldn't it be great if
the three of us could still work here even when we're grown up?
You don't want to be a baker or lawyer anymore?
Oh! I've been thinking a novelist might be fun, too...
Why are you upset?
If you want to become a real barista,
then tell me the difference between these coffees!
Next Time: Aoyama Slump Mountain
We Look Forward to Seeing You Again!
