He won't come. He'll come. He won't come.
He'll probably come.
The pervert will eventually come. He'll somewhat come.
He'll basically come. He'll surely come.
I think he was supposed to come.
Maybe... he won't.
Why am I always one petal short?!
That thoughtless, spineless, snail without a shell!
L-Little Bean, I think that's totally enough.
We came all the way to Okinawa. Why don't you, like, go swimming?
Swimming?
That's not a bad idea.
Huh? I-Is something wrong?
No, that just totally suits you.
You're in, like, super serious mode.
Th-That's not true. It was just chance. Like an albatross in golf.
All right, I'm going to go swimming.
Like, why are we even here?
It's totally that Yokodera guy's fault.
Let's just have some fun for now.
Hurry! Hurry!
Like, wait a sec, Little Bean!
Totally!
Goodbye, My Home
Heyo! What's up, Hentai Prince?
Hey, Ponta. Actually...
My house is sort of... gone.
What do you think I should do?
Your house is gone? Sorry to hear that.
I'm about to go collect donations for those kids
in Africa who don't have homes, too.
As long as you're kidding around, shoot me a donation too, okay?
Of course he wouldn't believe me...
Azuki Azusa
Azuki Azusa should be busy enjoying Okinawa right about now...
That leaves...
Little Sister (Planned)
Uh... What are you doing?
What are you talking about?
You, like... keep looking at your phone and hitting it.
Huh? Come on, you're exaggerating.
I'm just occasionally checking my phone.
Oc-ca-sion-al-ly.
But a call I should have gotten by now hasn't come yet,
so I'm going to go check my voicemail.
Little Bean's totally waiting for Yokodera to call.
Things have been, like, weird since Okinawa
was mentioned to begin with...
It seems that Azuki Azusa is planning a trip to Okinawa,
but is mentioning in a roundabout way
that she has no one to go with her.
So I thought it'd be a great idea if you guys tried redoing your class trip.
I'd like to see my friend be friends with her old friends again.
But we totally weren't the ones she wanted.
Little Bean is, like, obsessed with Yokodera.
I wonder if they're going out.
Drop dead like a hyena!
You're totally arguing on your phone...
Of course I'm not.
I didn't make a call or anything.
I just recorded a greeting for my voicemail.
I'm sure if he heard that, he'd come rushing over here...
How about trying to give your family a call first?
My family's in Guam right now, and I can't get a hold of them.
The whole neighborhood association is there on a tour.
Are you sure your house was really here, Senpai?
Of course! I may have no shame,
but I wouldn't lie to you just so I could see you!
Huh?
Did you want to see me, Senpai?
That's not exactly...
At most, I'm just saying I wouldn't lie about that.
It was just a "what if."
At most... just?
Huh?
Well, at most, just at my level,
I thought that your memory might have been impaired,
but it seems that, at most, me at my level was just overthinking it.
Your words seem oddly pointed...
You're just imagining it.
At most, it's just because I, at my level,
have never even been to your house.
Therefore, at most, I just tried to tackle the problem at my level.
I-If my house comes back safely, I will definitely invite
my special, precious, "only one" Tsukiko-chan over!
'Kay?
I see.
We should quickly figure out the reason behind the phenomenon.
Huh?
Whoa! Wh-What is this?
Would you like to spend tonight at my house?
Huh?
Could it be that the Stony Cat is behind this?
I thought you said that its powers seemed to be gone.
Yeah, I don't remember thinking I didn't want my house, either...
I'm stumped.
But I'm glad you're here.
Right...
Doesn't look like the rain's going to stop.
They did say a typhoon was coming.
I think it's actually going to get worse for a while.
Th-This is where a man needs to be a man!
Don't worry!
I may not look it, but I am a tentative member of the track team!
What do you mean by...
Just hold on for a little while.
Wh-What are you doing?
Tsutsukakushi
We got pretty wet—
Ow! What'd you bite me for?!
Why do you think?
Why are you carrying me around like a child?
A child? Because—
I said that hurts!
Whenever things seem to be heading in a good direction, you always...
I can't understand you when you're biting me!
It wouldn't be good if you caught a cold...
Would you like to take a bath?
Man, the place looked huge from the outside,
but even from the inside, this mansion is unbelievably huge.
Indeed.
It might be too big for just me and my sister.
But I've lived here since I was little, so I'm used to it.
Isn't it hard to clean?
Not really.
I enjoy cleaning.
Come in.
It's almost like a hot spring resort!
When you're finished, please put this on.
The towels are over there, so help yourself.
A guy's tracksuit? I wonder who it belongs to.
Well then, I'll be in the kitchen.
Huh? Are you not coming in?
I'll be taking one later.
You should just come in with me!
We can wash each other here and there!
I'm always completely prepared, anytime, any place!
I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about,
but there is a police box about a minute's walk from my house.
Huh?
I see! This is going to be a "barging in" pattern!
It happens all the time in those girly games.
When the main character is taking a bath,
the heroine always barges in!
Hey, Little Bean.
What?
We're, like, wondering how long
you've been going out with that Yokodera guy.
Wh-What are you talking about all of a sudden?!
What, you're not?
O-Of course we are...
F-For a while now! We've been... dating! And stuff...
I knew it.
So, like, what do you like about Yokodera?
W-Well, um...
The fact that he's the coolest guy in the universe.
Huh?
N-Not to mention, he's sensible, stylish, nice...
He's a pervert sometimes...
But he's always shiny like a peacock...
He's super fast and athletic...
Was that Yokodera guy really like that?
He's not entirely stupid, he's positive and never gives up...
I totally don't think so.
Totally.
He cheers me up when I'm down, and he's by my side when I'm scared.
Maybe he has, like, a super hot older brother?
The books he lends me are really good,
I bet that's the Yokodera she's in love with.
and he reads the books I lend him super fast.
He even tells me what he thought of them.
We go to the movies sometimes, and he tells me what he thought...
Yeah, it totally could be.
Huh? Hey, what?!
Wha... Morii! Hey, Morii!
Are you, like, okay?!
This "barging in" event sure is taking a while...
No. Please stop.
Tsutsukakushi?! What's wrong?!
Don't stop me!
I will destroy the man who tricks Tsukiko!
Are you okay?!
Wha?! Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha?!
Oh, Captain... I'm borrowing your bath.
Senpai, please... Please put some clothes on.
Oh, crap!
G-G-G-G-G-Get away from me!
Don't come near me! Don't touch me! Stop shaking it!
I had my shame taken from me,
so I wasn't embarrassed at all.
I was just moved...
to find that the Steel King is kinda cute when her expressions are readable.
I see. I understand now.
So the Yokodera house has disappeared.
I'm glad you understand.
I'd be even more glad if you'd move from there.
First, shouldn't you be apologizing
for what happened in the changing room?
After having that monster shoved in my face,
the faint fantasy that I had been clinging to
for 18 years has been...
Huh?
I-It's not like I actually care!
But you should apologize to Tsukiko!
R-Right! I'm sorry, Tsutsukakushi. It was my fault.
It's all right. I didn't actually see mu—
I'm not worried about it.
Well, there was that one time
I accidentally saw you naked, so now we're even.
I might have been naked longer,
but if you just get naked again someday...
You're right.
Either bite your tongue and stop talking,
or bite your tongue and die.
You're scary all of a sudden!
Well...
So you have seen Tsukiko naked, eh?
U-Um...
I knew it.
You're Yokodera's younger brother, aren't you?!
You still believe that story?!
I see what's going on now.
Roll... roll... roll... roll... roll...
You told us that your house was gone
so you could spend the night with Tsukiko!
Like I'd tell a roundabout lie like that!
I'm going to throw you out right now!
Never set foot in our house again!
Nee-san. Senpai is my guest.
Will you not respect my wishes?
Then again, it's rather late, so you may stay here.
So random! Really saves me, though...
However, I won't allow you to take one step
outside this room... No, outside this futon!
I will protect Tsukiko's virtue!
So... what about the bathroom, then?
I can't hold it much longer...
Hold it! You may explode, but you won't die.
I'll die! My soul will die!
Actually, die! You should die!
Stop! Don't stimulate me!
It'll all work out somehow.
Huh? Tsutsukakushi?!
I've been abandoned...
10 Minutes Later
I see.
It really did work out in a matter of ten minutes.
The king sure falls asleep fast...
You're so needy, Tsukiko...
No matter how much you like me, you can't kiss me...
A kiss is very precious, you know...
What kind of dream are you having?
Wait, Tsukiko... Where are you going?
Hey, there's only so far you should go in your sleep!
Let me go!
Nope.
I'm not letting you go.
Hey, let me go!
No. We'll be together forever.
I said no!
Why, Tsukiko?
Huh?
Are you going to leave me, too?
No... I don't want anyone else to leave...
Don't leave me alone...
I hate seeing a girl cry, no matter who she is.
Azuki Azusa
I hope Azuki Azusa is having fun.
I wonder if she's crying again...
Prince
Little Bean, your phone is totally ringing....
Little Bean?!
Wh-What... huh?!
Oh, Morii... I guess I dozed off.
I see you're awake. Are you okay?
Oh... yeah.
The hotel doctor said you probably had a slight cold.
You're so overboard, Morii.
I was really scared,
trying to figure out what I'd do if you had a weird disease.
You totally read too much manga, Little Bean.
Jeez... I was really worried about you.
Sorry, sorry.
It's totally nice of you to worry about us as well as your boyfriend.
Of course.
Because you're my friends.
Sorry I ruined everything.
What are you talking about? We still have plenty of time to have fun.
No, I mean...
the class trip.
We totally didn't mean any harm. Sorry.
It's not just that you didn't mean any harm.
Actually, you only meant to do well, right?
I know that you two are a little off like that.
At that time, it was just that I was weak.
So... it's okay.
I'm sorry for transferring to another school without saying anything.
Little Bean... You've totally changed.
Eh? You think so?
No...
Not Hokkaido, Little Bean!
Well, then... Azuki Azusa isn't picking up, either...
So I guess I'll go to bed.
Huh? The light in the changing room...
Did I forget to turn it off earlier?
You weren't asleep yet?
It's rare for you to be up this late, Nee-san.
Please let Senpai out of the futon already.
He's clumsy, but he's not a bad person.
And sometimes, just sometimes, he can be really nice, too...
Y-Yeah, I'm totally clumsy...
S-Sorry! See? I'm clumsy right now, too...
Okay, I'll be going now...
Good night! Sweet dreams!
You are complete scum.
To think you've sunken your poison fangs into Tsukiko...
I haven't done anything!
More importantly, weren't you asleep?!
Tsukiko cried for help,
in the form of a dream that my stomach was flooding.
That just means you wanted to go to the bathroom!
Shut your mouth, you thief!
Even I don't get the chance
to see Tsukiko come out of the bath much anymore!
Unforgivable!
You're running away? You coward!
Please wait. Nee-san.
Tsukiko... how beautiful... I mean, let me go!
I can't let that man escape!
If I get caught, I really will be killed this time...
It's pretty messy in here.
I wonder if Tsutsukakushi doesn't clean in here...
Oh, come on...
Barbara-san! What are you doing here?!
Wait a minute...
Isn't this the bed from my room?
Seal
Looking back on it now, I might have actually been lured in...
by this other eerily expressionless Stony Cat...
Welcome, My Friend
Next time: "Welcome, My Friend."
