I did it!
That was great.
Now you'll win the track meet easily.
Not at all.
The Track Club will start morning practices tomorrow, to prepare for the prefectural meet.
Latecomers will have to do fifty squats.
You're dismissed.
Good work.
You too.
Oh, Senpai!
Here you go.
Senpai...
That guy...
made my beautiful Kaede look sad.
ano sora e kimi to hashiri dasou
I'll dash towards the sky.

I'll make all your wishes come true.

Troubles engulfed me at every turn,

and my normal days were gone before I knew it.

I help the cats with this and that.

The triangle whirls around me.

There's no time to waste.

My feelings towards you are spinning in circles.

I'll really make all your wishes come true.
Cat 04!
Beautiful People
Your cat sensor is functioning perfectly again today.
Gee, you're a terrible son.
Nyamsus came to see you off.
She doesn't have to!
Okay, Nyamsus! I'm off to school!
Okay! Have a good day.
See ya.
Have a safe one.
G'morning!
Mornin'.
25.
I wonder what happened?
26.
27.
It's rare for Senpai to be late.
28.
29.
30.
Mizuno! Stop slacking!
33.
Sorry!
34.
There's something in here.
To Junpei Kousaka
Fairy tale!
Feminine!
Boys Room
Girls Room
I-Is this the fabled...
Love Letter?!
M-My first one!
Man, I already have someone in mind.
But maybe it's from Mizuno?!
She comes to school early for practice.
What the hell?!
A challenge?
A challenge?!
It's a challenge no matter how many times I read it!
Class 2-3 Kousaka Junpei!
I challenge you to a duel.
I will wait for you at Enoshima Beach tonight at six!
You must come!!
Damn, first thing in the morning!
If only that letter had been from Mizuno...
I haven't cleared up our recent misunderstanding.
I need to do that soon.
Otherwise, I won't be able to get near her.
Kousaka-kun!
See you tomorrow!
Y-Yeah.
Ichinose-senpai is taking a day off?
Have you heard anything about it, Kaede?
No.
I wonder what's going on?
Three days later.
See ya.
Yeah.
Junpei! Let's go home together!
Why?
Buy me a pork bun!
Kousaka Junpei! Kousaka Junpei! Kousaka Junpei!
Kousaka Junpei!
Hey!
What?
Kousaka Junpei!
Who are you?
I'm Ichinose Nagi of class 3-4, president of the Track Club!
You should have received a note three days ago!
Why didn't you come to the designated place?
What? What?
A note?
Like a letter.
Did you get one?
I flushed it down the toilet.
Dimwit! Flushing anything other than toilet paper can cause clogs!
Oh, that?
Sorry.
You're beautiful.
I didn't know there was such a beautiful girl in this school.
That mole beneath your eye.
Those luscious lips.
And those unforgettable...
breasts.
Don't play with my breasts!
Damn you for that, Kousaka Junpei!
You're so out of line.
I'll kill you next time
It wasn't me.
Besides, this is the first time I've met you.
Dammit, I wanna go home
What?!
Know your place, you scumbag!
Fine, I'll get to the point.
Another weirdo
Kousaka Junpei!
I challenge you to a duel over Mizuno Kaede!
Wait, what do you mean?!
Over Kaede?
If Ichinose wins the duel...
No!
Kousaka-kun!
Mizuno! Mizuno!
Mizuno!
Don't cry!
Even though Kaede is gone, I'm here for you!
Sumiyoshi...
I mean, Kanako!
Yup.
I'll let you be my servant for life.
You'd better thank me.
Mistress Kanako!
Wait! What am I thinking?!
I'm an idiot!
What do you mean, "over Mizuno"?
What?!
That's a high fever.
What does she want, really?
Hey, have you seen... Wha?!
Huh?! What've you been doing?!
You've been absent for three days, and now I find you here?!
Please be strong.
What happened?
Well, uh, er...
H-H-He was just... u-u-uh...
I can't leave him alone.
I see.
We were taken by surprise.
I'm sorry for making you help.
But doing this by yourself would be too much work.
Yup, don't worry about it.
And why did you come too?!
I'm worried about Senpai.
You only want to poke fun at us!
You have no clue how I feel!
Huh? Did you say something?
Nope.
Here, Mizuno.
Where's the house?!
The map says it's around here.
Around here? But there's only one big... house...
Ichinose Clan
This is it.
"Ichinose Group"?
Nagi-sama!
Nagi-sama! Nagi-sama! Nagi-sama!
Nagi-sama!
How did this happen?
Are we gonna end up in Tokyo Bay?!
Real gangsters!
The meaning of the real life "underworld"
It's the manny!
Hurry and take Nagi-sama inside!
Yes! Ambulance coming through!
Stand back!
Family name: Mizuno.
Given name: Kaede.
I am an underclassman with Nagi-senpai,
so I would be honored if you would take note of me for the future.
Just kiddin'!
You bastards!
You dragged Nagi-sama around in the rain without an umbrella!
You've got some nerve!
How dare you make Nagi-sama catch a cold?
Stop it!
These fellows walked Nagi-sama here out of kindness.
Isn't that right?
Ah, yes, because Ichinose-senpai looks after me really well.
W-Well, we'll be leaving now.
Hold on!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What do you need?
Grr...
It would be rude to dismiss our guests without a warm welcome.
Please come in and warm yourselves in our bath.
B-But we wouldn't want to impose that much.
W-We have other plans...
You'll catch a cold like that.
Right.
Come this way.
Thank you so much!
Damn you!
I couldn't help it. It just came out.
Come on in.
Ah, I see.
So, we'd been thinking that the young master was missing,
but then we received a call from Enoshima.
From Enoshima?!
Yes.
Apparently, the young master was at Enoshima for three days and caught a cold...
because some immoral man did not fulfill his duty.
Bingo!
Ichinose thinks that highly of Kaede?
When will the next duel happen?
Kousaka-sama!
I will show these ladies to the bath.
Please wait here for a moment.
Now, ladies, this way please.
Okay!
See you later, Kousaka-kun!
A cat?
And a gorgeous one at that!
Do you happen to be...
Do you know me?
the allergic, thoughtless, good-for-nothing heir to Nyam nee-san's family:
H m m
I see
the boy who broke the statue's head?
Where did you hear that?
A young cat from the shrine was bragging about you.
That damn cat!
I'm Nagi-sama's friend, Josephine.
Nice meetin' ya.
So, what does a male Josephine want from me?
Besides, why the Kansai dialect?
You help cats with their requests, right?
I have a favor to ask.
A request here?!
I'm not ready yet
In a real gangster house?!
W-Wait, is it the kind of request I'd expect here?
Like that!
Or this!
Or that!
No.
Can you make Nagi-sama fall in love?
I-In love?!
Yup.
But...
I challenge you to a duel over Mizuno Kaede!
Isn't your master...
already in love?
Clear your ears and listen carefully.
You see—
Thank you for waiting.
I will show you to Nagi-sama's room before your bath.
Huh?
Nagi-sama just woke up and wishes to talk with you.
But I...
But?
I'll come!
This way please.
Yes, right away!
Hey, man.
I'm counting on you about Nagi-sama.
Okay, baby!
Call me Nyagi-sama, nyaa!
I eat soba noodles.
What's wrong?!
It's a letter from the Big Boss!
Thank you for your great work!
We're waiting for your return!
Bro!
Damn it!
I love you!
Oh my,
I'm dripping wet.
I wonder how a high school boy would react to that line?
This is heavenly.
I wonder if Junpei's doing all right?
M-Maybe he's...
Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy!
High! High! High! High! High! High!
Kana-chan! What's the matter?!
Nothing.
Why am I worried about him?!
Anyway, Senpai's place is amazing.
There's even a sauna!
Do you want to try it?
Hey, Kaede,
how do you feel about Senpai?
Like, do you think he's nice, or cool...
Yeah, I think Senpai's really nice.
And my admiration rose even higher after coming here.
I see, so you have feelings for Senpai too.
I'm sure Junpei will be sad about this.
Poor guy.
Why am I worrying about that idiot?!
K-Kana-chan?
Wh-What?
Have a nice talk.
W-Wait! Wait!
O-Only the two of us?!
W-Wait!
Wh-Why the hell do you have a wooden sword?!
Because it just happened to be there.
It's taken a while, but let's put an end to this.
I thought you wanted to talk to me!
Just talk?
Who said that?
Tell me precisely at what hour, what minute, what second I said that.
Are you in grade school?
Let me repeat.
If I win, you must stay away from Kaede!
I've never seen Kaede look so sad before.
And you're the one who made her look that way!
I'll never forgive you!
W-Wait a minute!
I have no idea what the heck you're talking about!
No excuses!
Ow... I hit my head.
Don't cling to me!
A-A-Are you...
a girl?!
I'm scared of lightning!
What? A girl?
Yup.
A girl, huh...
Yeah.
You're scared of lightning?
Ever since Pops was struck by lightning in front of me...
Nagi-sama!
It traumatized me.
Trauma, my ass!
But then...
All right!
Now that I'm wearing these,
we'll fight, Kousaka Junpei!
Man, where do I start?
Besides, I thought you were a guy!
Aren't you...
Damn you!
Who are you calling a guy?!
Sorry! Sorry!
Everyone picks on me!
I'm not interested in boys.
Even my first love mistook me for a guy!
I'm just tall, flat, and not cute.
Forget it.
I'll just enjoy what I have.
Damn, I stepped on a land mine.
You scumbag!
That must be what you're thinking inside!
A-Absolutely not!
The gang members and Pops are all the men I need around me!
I think you need to change your inner self!
Wait, is that why you like girls?
Huh?
I thought you liked Mizuno.
I love people who have the beauty I lack.
(It's more like a hobby.)
Note: She actually says "open parenthesis" and "close parenthesis."
I'm a pursuer of beauty.
I see.
Once again, time for our battle, Kousaka Junpei!
Take this!
Help!
I hate it!
I hate lightning!
This is exhausting.
So, Ichinose is a girl!
This would've been more fun if she had joined us.
Is Junpei taking a bath too?
No.
Nagi-sama said she wanted to talk with him, so he's in her room.
Wait, a teenage boy and girl are all alone in a room?
Maybe they're already doing it.
"It"?
Doing it?!
No!
Have you calmed down?
Shut up.
Why...
Why did I have to expose my girlish, pathetic side to you, of all people?
Go ahead and laugh.
And you can tell everyone about it.
I'm just a—
Hey, now.
Everyone has things they're ashamed of.
I won't laugh about it,
and I won't tell anyone, either.
But if you're so scared that you need to cry,
I'll stay with you until you feel better.
Though I won't be much help.
Kousaka...
What type of girl do you like?
Huh?
You seem to be fine, so—
B-But I'm still scared.
Still...
scared...
Kousaka!
Nagi-sama!
You're safe!
Kousaka!
Be careful walking home in the dark.
See you tomorrow.
Bye!
In the end,
your owner dragged me around the whole time,
and I couldn't do anything about your request.
It's all right.
Nagi-sama may look like a boy,
but she's an ordinary girl who likes beautiful things.
But...
after she was rejected by her first love...
I'll never fall in love again!
No more cute dresses!
...she turned into even more of a tomboy.
I thought she might become more feminine if she fell in love again.
I see.
But I might have difficulty with your request.
Sorry.
It's all right.
You've settled the matter.
Huh?
I've settled it?
Be careful on your way home.
Come visit us again.
Geez.
I want to stay away if possible.
Say hello to Nyam nee-san.
I don't know what happened, but I hope that peaceful days will return tomorrow.
Oh well.
With that, another request's checked off.
The founding of the Kamakura Shogunate is thought to have occurred in 1192.
I used the line "Let's build a good country together" when I proposed to my wife.
Lately—
But it didn't work out, right?
Man, this is so easy.
I learned that already.
Yeah, but aren't you a senior?
Yup.
That boy still doesn't know...
that he has made a most dangerous man his enemy.
I will protect Nagi-sama!
Good luck.

Strawberry tears.
Today's Nyan Koma.
Today's Mew view
Hey, which one do you like better?
Right.
Left.
What unforgettable boobs.
Do you want some too?
I do!
Anyone else up for basketball?
We're betting our lunch tickets.
I will!
She only needed one day to fit in.
This is her territory now.
Mew view
By the way, a cat's territory spans a radius of about 500 meters.
Nyaa! I want to enjoy Nyam nee-san's unforgettable boo—
Oh my.
Now, the next Nyan Koi...
Today, I get to go to Tokiwadai Land with Mizuno!
Kousaka-kun.
Junpei!
Kousaka Junpei!
Alone?
No, never.
That Junpei is making me feel so anxious!
Why am I... about Kousaka-kun...
Next Nyan Koi, the 5th nyan-ko, "Times Square!"
Now I see how you feel!
You two have my full support!
