I wonder if Hiro-san got up all right.
I doubt she'd oversleep on the day of a field trip.
Sae-san is with her there, too.
Yuno-san, Miyako-san!
Good morning.
Morning!
Morning.
Yuno-senpai.
Thank you for yesterday.
Hiro, it's morning!
Hiro! I can see your chest!
youki ni kuchibue fuite
Whistling a cheerful tune
madobe no kotori to sesshon
I join the birds chirping by the window
suima ga yatte kite
But fatigue strikes
atama ga drowsy
And leaves me drowsy
nan demo kan demo waraeru nichijou
Everything in life makes me smile
okimari na kishoutenketsu
Nothing really new takes place
demo demo tama ni wa piritto supaisu
But sometimes it's exciting to spice things up
aozora tenki
When the sky's so clear and blue
doko ikou
Where should we go?
koko ni iyou
Let's stay here
sore wa nani
What's that?
are yaritai
I wanna try that!
ima ni tokubetsu na shirushi
Let's make this moment count
tokeibari no mawashikata watashi shidai kamo
How fast my clock moves is all up to me
shiki oriori iro toridori
With a rich palette of colors from the four seasons
nonbiri na every day
Our laid-back everyday lives can be
pasuteru bibiddo retoro
Any blend of pastel and vivid colors
jibun dake no karaaringu
Anyone can create their own coloring
sono tokidoki mune doki doki
So when your heart races in excitement
hachamecha na taiyou ni oegaki
Just draw a sun at the top
tobidasu aatishizumu
And let your inner artist take you from there
kyun to shite ii kana
Can I set my heart free now?
suki suki suki yo sketch
I've been sketching everything I love
nijiiro ni somete iku yo
And painting them in rainbow colors
sore ja ittekimasu
All right, I'm off to have some more fun!

Good morning, everyone!
S-Sensei, are you all right?
Huh? What are you talking about?
The injury on your head...
I'm not injured!
This is a net that keeps the fruit safe!
Hokkaido, the place where the third-years went for their field trip,
is also famous for its melons!
So I made this costume in hopes of someone bringing back some melons for me!
What do you think?
Do I look like a melon?
By the way, don't say my breasts are like melons!
No one said that.
I ended up being no help to the first-year girls yesterday.
Oh, Nori-chan!
Is she trying to take down that box?
Nori-chan, I'll handle it!
Yuno-san!
Why did you get a rolling chair?!
Wow!
It's wonderful!
Hey, there are swan boats here!
Let's have a race!
Okay! We'll be right there!
Come on, Sae!
Guys, this swan...
Oh!
Let's go!
Accelerate
Forward
Stop
Accelerate
What?!
Hello, everyone.
We're now leaving central Hokkaido and heading south.
I'll be your guide for the next two hours!
Excuse me!
Can you do something funny for us?
Huh, something funny?
Well...
Oh, I'll do tongue twisters!
Bus gas explosion, bus gas explosion...
Of all the things you could've picked...
Breathe in gently.
Gently!
Remember to be gentle!
Hey, look at that!
Wow, that's amazing!
The art students are so creative!
It's so artistic!
Hi

Apt
I wish I could be resourceful like the upperclassmen.
I just can't figure out how I can be helpful.
What should I do?
I think you're fine as is.
How about...
you try doing something Sae-san and Hiro-san have done for you?
Something they've done for me?
They always watch me from nearby,
and hold my hand when I reach out.
I'm getting the the feeling that someone's watching me.
What? Is a stalker following us?!
When that happens, it's better to wait for them to leave on their own rather than confront them.
I think I read that somewhere.
How do you trip on a flat surface?
My legs got tangled because I was thinking about who might be behind me.
You're such a child.
Nori-chan!
Jeez, you're so helpless.
Pay attention to what's in front of you when you walk!
Thank you, Nori-chan!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Art
Oh, Yuno-san!
Ah, Yoshinoya-sensei!
Is something the matter?
No...
It's so quiet here.
At Hidamari Apartments, too.
Sae-san and Hiro-san are both on the school trip, after all.
How are things at Hidamari Apartments?
This is the first time we've been without the third-years.
I want to be an upperclassman my juniors can depend on,
but I don't know what to do.
I think you're fine just the way you are, Yuno-san.
You'll wear yourself out if you're too eager.
Relax, relax!
Sensei...
The third-years are coming back tomorrow,
so we'll be back to our lively selves!
I'm looking forward to the souvenirs they'll bring back!
Me too!
This is amazing!
The Goryoukaku Fort does have a pretty star shape!
What do you think, Sae?
Sae?
Checking out souvenirs?
Oh, Hiro, I'm looking at these,
but there aren't any spoons with Yuno's and Nazuna's names on them!
Engraved Name Spoon
Miyako-chan
Sae-chan
Nori-chan
Hiro-chan
Would you buy them if they had them?
Well, I wouldn't, but still...
Since we came all the way up here, we should look at the scenery.
You're right.
Wow, it's so scary looking down from here!
Hiro, come look!
It's so thrilling!
I'm not sure how much weight this can bear.
Sae!
That's not what I meant!
Come here! It's fun!
I'm not going there!
Sorry!
Come here.
Sae, if you stand there, people can see your panties from below!
I'm just kidding!
Let me light the fire.
Please take the lid off when it goes out.
Okay!
I... I think yours are ready to eat.
You think so?
Wow, it smells great!
So this is ishikari-nabe.
The salmon is so tender!
These squid noodles are so clear and pretty!
It's all so fresh and delicious!
I'm in heaven!
I feel a little bad that we're the only ones who get to eat this great food.
I wish Yuno-san and other girls could join us.
Yeah.
We should come back here with everyone when we're grown up.
That sounds wonderful!
Let's come here again, all six of us!
I've decided!
I'm taking everyone to Masanoyu Bathhouse!
Ooh!
Why don't we go to a bathhouse today?

Don't forget to bring bath and hand towels, and a sponge with you!
Masanoyu Bathhouse is about a fifteen-minute walk away from here.
Masanoyu Bathhouse...
Yunocchi, wait a sec!
Huh?
Sign: Masanoyu Bathhouse
We're here!
yu no sa ma
"Yuno-sama"?!
yu no sa ma
Perfect!
Sign: Masanoyu Bathhouse
Oh, welcome!
And these are my last hundred yen!
You're drinking it before you get in?!
Miya-chan, wait!
We're getting in the bath, then.
It's my first time at a bathhouse.
Have you ever been here, Nazuna?
No.
I knew there was a bathhouse,
but it's my first time here, too.
You need to take this off before getting in the bath anyway!
She's so persistent!
This place is so big!
We practically have the whole place to ourselves.
We lucked out.
What's there to be so embarrassed about?
It's not like you're out of shape.
But I don't have any curves. I'm just flat.
From a sketch artist's point of view, you might be tough to draw.
What do you mean?
A model with gentle curves can be tougher
to portray perspective than a fat old lady.
In short, Sae-san is hard to draw, and Hiro-san is easy.
What are you saying?
I was embarrassed of being naked at first too.
I got used to it after visiting here a few times.
Oh, it was embarrassing for you, too, Yuno-senpai?
Yeah!
It'd be weird if I were the only one naked,
but everyone's naked here!
It's the same for everyone, so there's nothing to worry about!
I see!
Well, there are some differences, though.
Don't just sit there!
Get in here!
"Some" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Wow!
Can I touch your boobs, Miyako-san?
Oh, go ahead.
Wow, they're so squishy!
Can I touch them, too?
Then, me too...
Never mind.
Today's the last day Hidamari Apartments' average age is younger than usual.
Miya-chan, they'd be angry if they had heard that.
Say, Yuno-san, it may a bit late to ask,
but why did you suggest coming to the bathhouse?
Well...
Nori-chan, did you enjoy it?
I sure did!
It's my first time coming to a place like this.
I see.
That's great!
Sae-san and Hiro-san are both so kind and dependable.
Yep! God bless them for being such great people.
Yeah, Sae-san is so cool, and she works hard at her job...
...and Hiro-san is a great cook.
Warm-hearted and reliable too.
They're like a mom and dad!
Yeah, exactly!
The third-years have done so much for us,
so I wanted to do something for you guys, too.
Since I'm the upperclassman now.
Huh? What is it?
Well, it's just...
What was that?
You even act alike.
That was a great bath!
That really warmed me up.
I had so much fun in that huge bath!
Let's come again sometime!
Yep!
This is the first time all four of us have walked together at night.
It's a new feeling.
The stars are so pretty!
I wonder if the night sky is clear in Hokkaido too.
They should have fewer city lights,
so I'm sure the night sky looks even more beautiful there!
Oh!
Yunocchi, do you have your phone with you?
Can I call Hokkaido?
Sure!
Calling: Sae-san

Hello, Sae-san?
Hi! Where's Hiro-san?
Hiro's drying her hair in the dressing room.
I see.
Then, please pass on a message for me.
Thank you for everything you do.
Huh?
Where did that come from?
I love stuff like dried scallops!
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Dried scallops, huh?
See you tomorrow.
Sae!
Were you talking on the phone with the Hidamari Apartments girls?
Oh, Natsume!
Yeah.
It must be nice to live at Hidamari Apartments!
Nice? How so?
How so?
Well, it's close to school,
and everyone seems so cheerful there.
Then, why don't you come over?
Right...
Yeah.
Wow, the scenery is gorgeous!
It makes our last night all the more special.
Our last day...
Our field trip is almost over.
We only have one more year together as a class.
Hey, stop that!
You're gonna make me cry!
B-But we haven't even started studying for university entrance exams!
We still have a long way to go!
That also makes me want to cry.
Events like the Yamabuki Festival and the Sports Festival...
After this year, we won't be able to do them as high school students anymore.
Sae, you asleep?
Yeah, I'm looking forward to them.
Huh?
I'm looking forward to all those school events.
Jeez...
I had so much fun today!
If Sae-san and Hiro-san are the mom and dad...
I want to be a good big sister.
Don't you think Yuno-san is kinda cute?
Yeah!
"Yuno... onee-chan."
That was so fun!
We really enjoyed that trip to the fullest!
Yeah, I feel like I really know Hokkaido now.
You think so?
Look! We've only been around this area of the island.

Sae-san! Hiro-san!
Guys, we're back!
Were you waiting here the whole time?
We came out when we heard the bus.
Welcome back!
Aren't these usually for visitors?
Seriously, Hokkaido was so fun!
We did a lot of things.
We rode horses and blew glass.
You went to a farm?
We did!
We saw an alpaca.
It was so cute with its round eyes and fluffy fur!
I wanna see alpaca too.
Oh, I should show you this video!
Hey, Hiro!
Sae-san looks like she's having so much fun!
Yeah, isn't she?
Jeez.
What's wrong?
They're memories of the fun times we had.
Did you have any of Hokkaido's famous cuisine?
Potatoes with butter? Crabs?
Oh, we had really delicious omelet with rice on the first day!
Oh yeah, that was really delicious!
I wish you could've been there for it.
You went to Hokkaido, and you ate omelet with rice?!
Before I forget, I have souvenirs for you guys.
Yay!
Produce of Sea of Okhotsk, Hokkaido
First-Grade Scallops
rich in taurine - good for your liver - good for your skin
Dried scallops.
Thanks, Sae-san, Hiro-san!
Good for you, Miya-chan!
There's also potato sticks, butter sandwich cookies, and...
Oh yeah, this one too!
Why don't we try these right now?
The above is a sample image.
Hokkaido
Jingisukan-flavored caramel?
What's a jingisukan?
It's a grilled mutton dish, I think.
Interesting!
They said it's a popular souvenir.
Everyone was buying them, so we bought one too.
A snack and grilled meat in one!
That sounds amazing!
Let's try it!
What am I eating?
I'm thankful for the souvenir, but this flavor is a bit too much.
Is this what jingisukan tastes like?
I've never had it, so I don't know.
Me neither.
It's a very mysterious flavor with some garlic and onion thrown in.
Jingisukan must be a delicious dish!
You can have the rest if you'd like.
Okay!
So how were things while we were away?
We lived!
Miyako-san's boobs were amazing.
What?
Yuno-san took us to a bathhouse.
Oh?
Because Nori-chan and I had never been to one before.
We had a lot of fun!
We talked a lot with Yuno-senpai and Miyako-senpai!
Right?
Yeah!
I feel like Hidamari Apartments is finally back to normal with Sae-san and Hiro-san back.
Huh?
I'm sort of relieved.
I feel like I need to become more mature like an upperclassman,
but being Sae-san's and Hiro-san's junior is nice too.

Next Episode
How did you finish your summer break homework?
My picture diaries and workbooks?
I set aside time every day to do a little bit of it.
That's amazing, Nori-chan!
How about you, Yunocchi?
I did all of it over the last two days.
I don't remember doing it.
Huh? How come?
Oh, I finished it in July!
Wow!
Next episode is "August 31st, The Last Visitor of Summer Break" and "September 1st, Okashimochi"!
We'll be waiting at the Hidamari Apartment, so come visit us!
