Hey, can't I, Dad?
No way.
You're going camping with only junior high school kids.
But it's just for one night!
Hey, please?
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way!
So, you only have that one night to get along with Hiroshi-kun.
Wha―
What are you saying, Onee-chan?
It's not that kind of trip!
Hey, I'm serious! It's not that kind of trip!
I have heard that relatives of her classmate, Hashimoto-san, own the hotel they are staying at.
His parents were kind enough to call me to inform us about that yesterday.
Yes, yes!
B-But...
We also did the same thing, right?
I-I guess so...
I forgot.
You said that if you can throw a stone and make it skip five times in the ocean,
you can get married to someone you like.
Dad, is this true?
Hey, Dad.
Please don't cause any trouble for the people you don't know.
You'll let me go?
Thank you, Dad!
Summer Vacation
Ah, it's so bright!
Hurry guys, come and get in the ocean!
We'll go in after a little while.
What? Come on, swim! We've only got today.
Geez...
So anyway, when that senpai was left alone with her boyfriend,
he proposed to her all of a sudden.
And then, and then?
And then, in the dark,
They did 'it'?
What?!
No way!
What? What is it?
What are you talking about?
We were talking about our senpai.
Last year, when the basketball club went to the ocean for their training camp,
they went into the haunted house to test their courage.
Well, from the start, those two were thinking about each other.
See, with a setting of the ocean and the night... they kissed all of a sudden!
A kiss!
What's that? That's not what we talked about!
Before the 'kiss' part, you were just talking about a 'proposal'.
Well, what does it matter?
But that would be nice!
Being alone with the guy I like, at the ocean at night...
What are you talking about? You don't have a boyfriend!
That's why I'm admiring her!
Hey, Yuu-chan! Have you and Naganuma-kun kissed yet?
Of course they have! They are lovers after all!
I see. I guess so.
Everyone in our class knows about it.
Well, I guess...
Anyway, you haven't yet.
You and Naganuma are progressing very slowly, so you're still far from it.
I-I'm not!
What?
A kiss is not a peck on the cheek, you know.
We're talking about a lover's kiss.
A lover's... kiss?
Of course! A kiss on the lips!
Those kisses with Hiroshi-kun weren't lover's kisses?
You were friends since you were young,
so you kissed on the cheek and the forehead like kindergarten kids, but...
Eh? I don't know about that.
But their relationship is close to getting mature, right?
Um... I'm going to swim with the others.
Yuu-chan, you don't swim like them, right?
Well... you see over there.
Hiroshi-kun.
Have a good swim! Only if you can do it!
It looks like Hiroshi-kun is having fun playing with the boys.
Beach Chalet
Shall we get ready for the BBQ?
Naganuma! Please take care of the table.
Okay.
The meat and the vegetables have to be skewered like this, right?
Unexpectedly, you need some strength to do this.
Is this okay?
Wow, you're good at it.
This is heavy.
Naganuma! Bring the charcoal over!
The charcoal!
Okay!
What should I do with this?
Put it in the grill.
Okay!
Do you want to stay here longer?
This is a long awaited trip and yet it's ending so fast.
Y-yeah. I guess so.
I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
I said something stupid to make fun of you.
What?
When we were talking about kisses, you looked annoyed, so I said that on purpose.
N-No, I don't mind at all!
It's been one year since we went to the school camp in the mountains last year.
Hey, has your relationship between you two progressed?
Hiroshi-kun is a childhood friend, so I guess it's embarrassing to say that I like him.
So you're just friends, aren't you?
Just...friends?
Oh, you're working hard!
Oh, thank you for letting us stay.
You all can eat this when you're having the barbecue.
Thank you, I will accept it.
There's a fireworks display tonight, so why don't you take everyone to see it?
There will be food stands on the road.
A fireworks display?
I'm gonna invite Hiroshi-kun!
Beach Chalet
Hiroshi-kun.
Eh? Where'd he go?
Yuuko.
Hiroshi-kun!
I heard that there's a fireworks display nearby.
Let's go together.
Hiroshi-kun was the one who invited me...
Yeah! I'll go!
Alone with Hiroshi-kun at a fireworks show.
Just the two of us...
Pancakes
Yuuko, want some cotton candy?
Yeah.
Me too!
I want a red one!
Me too!
Which would you like, Taka-chan?
I don't want to eat such kiddy food.
I'll have some grilled squid.
What? But you just had some at the BBQ!
That's none of your business, isn't it?
In that case, why don't you have grilled shellfish?
This place is famous for that.
Really? Then I'll have some of that.
Then follow me. I'll show you where it is.
Even for food stands, there are good and bad ones.
Hashimo, you know so much!
Just leave it to me!
Let's go!
It's not just the two of us.
Octopus balls
Pancakes
We should put some oil on the cloth where possible. That's what my father said.
That's cheating.
I'm good at catching goldfish, you know.
The scoop dissolves quickly, right?
Even if the paper is dissolved, you can use the edge of the wire.
I don't think it'll work so easily.
I can get ten with one scoop.
Oh, I wonder if that's true?
Oh, you're not convinced?
I, Master Hashimo will show you my skill!
Oh, you said it, you said it.
What's wrong?
Hey, Hiroshi-kun, wanna try the shooting gallery?
I want that kitty!
It's super-cute!
Big Bro! I want that robot! That robot!
Big Bro, you suck!
Okay, I'll do it!
Hey Naganuma! Let's catch some goldfish!
B-but...
Hey, let's do it!
Let's all compete!
Let's go, let's go!
W-Well...
Geez! I don't care about him anymore!
What are you doing, Yuu-chan?
Hurry up, hurry up.
Oh, wait up!
Hashimo, you're all talk!
It's hopeless.
It will work if there's no paper!
My true skill starts now.
Okay, boy, that's as far as you go.
What?
If you want a new one, it'll be 100 yen.
Hey Mister, did you make it so that it breaks easily?
D-don't give me a bad reputation!
See, there are skilled people over there.
Yuu-chan, you're great at this!
I'm actually quite good at this.
I didn't know that Yuuko was that good at this.
Unlike someone here...
I'm just having a bad day today.
Hey, what shall we do next?
It'll be time for the fireworks soon, right?
Ice
We have to find a place to sit as it'll be very crowded.
Let's go, Yuuko.
I suppose this is the end.
Shall I do it once more?
Hey, Hiroshi-kun, I want to do it again...
I've been... left behind?
Hey, Miss! What about your goldfish!
No way! They should have waited for me!
At least Hiroshi-kun should have!
Why did Hiroshi-kun leave with everyone?
He didn't realize that I wasn't there?
Hey! Don't push!
Gotcha.
Are you all right, Yuuko?
Hiroshi-kun?
Sorry. I thought you followed us afterwards.
So pretty!
It's different from the ones I saw in Tokyo.
It looks like it's more fun for Hiroshi-kun when he's with everyone.
Beach Chalet
I couldn't sleep for some reason.
We're going home today.
I couldn't spend time alone with Hiroshi-kun.
What is my relationship to Hiroshi-kun?
Maybe we're just friends after all.
Morning, Yuuko.
M-Morning.
What's wrong? You're up so early.
So are you.
I slept early last night, so I woke up early.
Yuuko, wanna go for a walk?
Let's go together!
Okay.
I'm alone with Hiroshi-kun!
S-Sorry!
Um... say...
Hiroshi-kun, do you know?
It's said that if you can throw a stone and make it skip five times in the ocean,
you can get married to someone you like.
Once more!
Throw it underarm!
And you should find a flat stone.
I know!
I did it! It skipped once!
It won't skip at all.
Shall I do it?
It skipped!
Twice!
Three times!
Four times!
Five times!
You did it!
You've done it! You've done it!
You made it skip more than five times!
As expected of you, Hiroshi-kun!
Isn't it great?
You really surprised me!
Present for you
A present for you...
yasashisa anata ni todoketai
I want it to reach you, who is so kind.
tobikkiri no egao ni ribon wo kakete
Thinking of this makes me smile as I put on my ribbon.
I love you!
Until now, the words I was too embarassed to say came out of my mouth so naturally.
My heart was relieved when I said my true feelings.
I finally said it. My true feelings.
It's strange. A kiss has magical powers to calm your feelings.
Next Episode Report:
We stared at each other and kissed. What do we do next?
I want to make sure, but I'm still a child, so I'm a little scared of adult talk.
Feelings are feelings, bodies are bodies, my heart is racing, and sometimes spins meaninglessly.
Our hearts are racing and spinning.
How far should we go?
Next time: A Stormy Season
A Stormy Season
Please look forward to it.
