It's been four months since...
...the Iries started taking care of our family.
I've finally gotten used to living with them.
What a big mouth.
Hurry up, I need to use it too.
I'm finishing up, wait!
Sheesh, he's such a bully.
But, he's Irie Naoki, the guy I admire.
My, you two are up pretty early during summer break.
Good morning.
I have club activities.
It looks like her reason is different though.
Kotoko-chan!
Let's go to our extra classes together!
Kin-chan!
Extra classes?
Weren't you fiftieth?
Yeah.
Those were the midterms. You did poorly on the finals, right?
You really are stupid.
What are you talking about?!
Extra classes, right? You're hopeless without my brother's help like I thought.
His foul mouth isn't getting any better...
What are you writing?
Don't look! It's my open research project.
Eh? You've started already?
Of course. It's homework after all.
Honestly! Summer homework is supposed to be left until the last two days of vacation.
And that's why you have to attend extra classes.
I'm going now.
I have to hurry too!
I forgot my bag!
Sheesh, what a noisy girl.
But, that makes it perfect right from the start.
July 26th. Summer vacation begins today.
However, this morning, Kotoko was already in a panic getting to her extra classes.
I thought, "I don't want to become a high schooler like that."
Morning, Mr. Genius.
How classy, playing tennis right from the morning.
You seem to be putting in a lot of effort yourself.
Hmph! You never know when being called a genius all the time will turn you into a monster!
Yeah, that's true.
What?!
Kin-chan, sorry to keep you. Shall we go?
Have fun!
The Papas are having a school reunion?
I got it!
Kotoko, morning.
Morning.
Weren't you supposed to be the Irie of Class-F?
I guess the effect of the charm wore off.
That's so like you.
Oh, come to think of it, your husband is here too.
What are you girls watching?
Irie-kun is really cool after all!
Kotoko, there's more to a guy than just coolness!
Okay, that's all for today.
Hey, Kotoko.
By the way, how's the construction of your new house going?
I'm actually not very sure myself.
My dad hasn't told me much either.
Sheesh. In that case, let's go take a look.
Right now?
Yup.
Let's see how it's going.
You should leave that devil's house as soon as possible.
You're kidding me!
Huh, it hasn't progressed at all.
They've only done this much in four months?
What's the meaning of this?
Hey, Kotoko!
We'll make this one Yuuki's room.
That's right. He'll grow really big soon and all.
Then, I wonder if it's all right to make this the karaoke room.
Put that in the basement please.
More importantly, we have to decide on Onii-chan and Kotoko's new room.
And also their baby's room too.
You don't have to care for us that much.
It's okay.
First, we have to wait for them to graduate next year.
Then, we can proceed with the plan.
Proceed with what plan?
Nothing.
Nao!
Naoki-kun!
I'm back!
Dad, the new house...!
This isn't funny! Me marrying her?!
Marry?
Please calm down, Naoki.
But, you'd surely oppose if I told you.
Of course! There's no way I could stay with someone like that forever!
What do you mean by that?!
I'm just saying that I should have the right to choose.
Even if you say you want to marry me later, I definitely won't marry you!
That sure puts me at ease.
That way, if I do fall in love with you, I'll be spared that mistake.
Fall in love?
Anyway, let's end this discussion.
Why does Onii-chan have to be like that?
I've had it!
He didn't have to talk like that!
It's Jinko.
Hello?
Hmm, Waterland?
When are you going?
August 26th? The day right after our extra classes end, right?
Going to the pool with everyone? Sounds like fun!
Kotoko-chan is going to the pool?
Kotoko is still up to her stupid acts.
August 5th. Mom made a cake today.
After Kotoko started helping halfway through, it turned into something absolutely disgusting.
I was really angry.
August 10th. Onii-chan said that Kotoko's snoring was incredibly loud.
I'd like to confirm it for myself next time.
Sorry about this, Mama.
The two of us will be gone for a week.
Don't worry about it. It's a reunion, isn't it?
And, it's been a while since you went back to your parents' place. Take your time.
Kotoko, I'll be sure to bring back a souvenir for you.
Have a safe trip.
We're off then!
They sure are in high spirits.
You're on summer break now. You should do something fun.
I guess you're right.
For instance, how about the pool?
Yes. We're planning on going to Waterland after our extra classes.
All right! It's time to swim!
There are so many swimming pools!
Are there no cute guys around?
Places like this are only filled with people bringing their kids anyway.
Oh, I guess so.
But even if there were, with the swimsuit Kotoko is wearing...
What is it?
Isn't it all right for Kotoko?
What's that supposed to mean?
That's not true. You're pretty no matter what you wear.
Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?
What an unappealing swimsuit.
Irie-kun!
What is this? Are you following us?
Good work.
We're not like you, so of course not.
I guess Irie-kun would prefer it if I was wearing a swimsuit like Satomi's.
I see now.
The pool?
Mama said I could go only if you went along.
Why me?
Hey! You're his big brother, aren't you?
So that's the reason.
Is it a good idea for the extra class bunch to be here?
You haven't finished your homework yet, right?
Didn't I tell you? I'll finish it on the last two days.
It's summer break after all. Forget about things like homework.
What's the point if you don't enjoy yourself?
Come on, Kotoko. Let's go.
How's this, Kotoko? Are you watching?
Look, look, what a great front crawl.
This one next!
Kin-chan, that's so embarrassing.
Kotoko!
Leave it to me! I'll get Kotoko's ball.
That's right. I won't be able to observe properly if I don't go closer.
Onii-chan, I want some ice cream.
Ice cream? Wait here then.
Observation journal of the stupid Kotoko. Today she's wearing her school swimsuit.
Onii-chan!
One vanilla, correct?
Yes.
Did something happen?
Seems like some kid nearly drowned.
Is he okay?
Sir!
Yuuki!
Yuuki-kun.
Yuuki-kun! Hey, Yuuki-kun!
Where am I?
Thank goodness.
Why are you guys...?
Sheesh, what a thing to say after Kotoko saved you.
Saved?
You shouldn't go into a pool where your legs don't reach the bottom.
But, kid, don't you know how to swim?
Shut up! Don't touch me, you idiot!
Especially since you're part of the extra class bunch.
What did you say?!
Yuuki-kun!
Damn it, what's up with them? Treating me like a kid...
Hey, Yuuki-kun.
Did you come to laugh at me?
No.
Then, why?
Let's ride that.
This place is famous for that water slide.
Okay?
"It's summer break! Gotta have fun, right?"
Is what he'd say.
Let's go!
Fine, but let go!
Hurry, hurry!
Your stupidity will infect me!
Sheesh.
I said let go, stupid!
All right! I challenge you!
Like I'd lose to the likes of you!
I'll show you the difference between our skills!
I won't lose!
There's no way I'd lose to an idiot!
I'm glad Yuuki-kun seems all right.
Kin-chan sure gets along well with that kid.
You mean Kin-chan is like an elementary school kid?
Hey!
Hurry and slide down too, Kotoko!
Are you scared?!
You said it this time! All right.
My leg is cramped!
Save me, Irie-kun!
Are you okay?
Irie-kun.
Irie-kun...
Thanks.
Not a problem. You saved Yuuki too, didn't you?
Huh? Yeah.
Irie-kun is so gentle.
What do you want?!
Kotoko...
Gosh, Onii-chan. Though you say such things...
Just one more push.
August 26th. I went to the pool today.
Kotoko nearly drowned while playing in her unappealing swimsuit.
So, I saved her.
Kotoko-chan.
I'm sorry, but something came up and I have to go to my parents' place too.
What happened?
I got a call earlier informing me that my mother isn't feeling well.
That sounds bad.
It looks like it isn't serious. But, I'm worried, so I wanted to go check up on her.
Okay. Then...
I'm bringing Yuuki with me. So I'm leaving the house to you and Onii-chan.
Oka... What?
Why only me?
Don't complain! Hurry up!
No! I want to stay behind too!
No!
I'll be alone with Irie-kun!
Hey.
Please take care of dinner.
Okay! I'm gonna make something amazing and surprise Irie-kun!
Why did it turn out like this?
I'm sorry, Irie-kun.
You can cook too.
I just learned how.
I can't believe I'm having a meal alone with Irie-kun.
We're like newlyweds.
Yeah, right!
Is it good?
Gotta think of something to talk about.
Umm, Irie-kun...
About the homework...
I finished it in one day.
Fair warning, but you won't be able to finish it in two days with that head of yours.
Is it really that hard?
Well, good luck.
Don't you feel like helping me a little...?
Nope.
How cold.
That's cold!
What am I doing here?
I wonder if those two have created a good mood about now?
Perhaps, it may even be going faster than planned.
I'm in serious trouble!
Maybe this isn't the best time to be worrying about being alone with Irie-kun.
Irie-kun is probably fast asleep by now.
Since he's already finished his homework.
That's right! He has finished!
Dear God, dear Buddha, please forgive me.
I'd like to see the answers just for a little bit.
Infiltrating like the wind, the female ninja Kotoko appears!
What is she doing?
August 28th. Summer break will be over in three days.
But, Kotoko hasn't even started her homework yet.
She'll probably be bawling like a baby.
I'm looking forward to it.
What the hell is this?!
Honestly, what a rude kid!
I may have written a lot of things, but she's actually a very pretty, kind-hearted and wonderful Onee-san.
I love her!
That's fixed.
That's not it!
This isn't the time to be doing things like that!
Where's Irie-kun's textbook?
Here it is!
This is it!
What are you doing?
I'm not doing anything!
I haven't stolen anything!
I know.
Don't worry. I won't make it embarrassing for you.
He said it before, you never know when a genius might turn into a monster.
No! I like you, Irie-kun, but...
...it's still too early! We should have a wholesome relationship first...
Don't worry.
Never mind the wholesome part, I don't intend to date you at all.
You were teasing me!
Hey, you forgot something.
That's too bad.
I was thinking of lending you my textbook to apologize for scaring you.
Too bad then if you don't want it.
I'll borrow it then since you insist.
Also, I need your help to copy.
Why this little...
Oh, I see.
I think I get it.
She's really something else.
Irie-kun, what's this?
Wait. Didn't you say you understood that a moment ago?
Well, I sort of understood it when you told me.
Unimaginable.
Like this?
Wrong!
Really? Why?
What am I getting so worked up for?
Ouch!
It's all over!
Jinko?
My hopes for getting into a university are gone! It's hopeless!
Calm down!
That's it, Kotoko! Please ask Irie to tutor us!
That's definitely impossible!
Pretty please!
Next time on Itazura na Kiss:
The crucial moment! Class-F's winter battle!
I'm definitely gonna be happy.
We want to be university students!
