Ayano's Feline Fortune-telling.
If we compare ourselves to members of the cat family...
...I'd be a cheetah!
Grr!
Hey, I'm so plain!
Yahoo! Obviously, I can kick butt!
Purr! I love you all!
Hey, I'm the star of the show!
And...
Oops, we're out of time!
Hold on!
If you look up at the sparkling lights of the sky...
Will your overflowing tears start sparkling too?
I want to see you with a sparkling smile on my face.
Let's leave yesterday behind.
When did I start looking down all the time?
I had no time to see the different colors of the seasons.
Every time I take a deep breath, the wind blows through my heart.
Come on, let's spread our arms.
If we all dream a big, sparkling dream...
...will all the time we spent worrying disappear?
I want to get there with sparkling eyes...
...to reach that faraway future.
GIRL'S HIGH
The endless blue sky above...
The white clouds lazily drifting across...
It's finally, finally summer vacation!
Not to mention... the "Search for a New Actress" Audition!
"SEARCH FOR A NEW ACTRESS" AUDITION
The day that I'm destined to soar to new heights all over the world...
...today's the day at last!
But first, let me check my horoscope for the day...
Let's see...
Today you will find yourself going to the aid of your friends. Good.
Lucky Item...
Moustache?
A moustache, huh?
All right!
An Example of the Terrible Consequences of...
...Hitting on Your Own Students by Mistake.
So anyway...
...today we're heading to the pool at the amusement park!
Yay!
It's summer vacation, after all. We should try to have as much fun as possible!
Wait, come to think of it, where are Kouda, Himeji, and Ogawa?
Beats me.
Kouda said she had some kind of audition today, so she can't make it.
That Kouda...clinging to her impossible dreams again.
And Himeji and Ogawa said they were up all night, so they'll join us...
...at the amusement park in the evening.
Up all night? What the hell were those two doing up all night?
Well, Ogawa went to sleep over at Himeji's place and...
...they played "Endurance Uno" for 8 hours straight.
8 hours? And how did they play Uno with just 2 players?
Whatever those two do, it's always pretty conservative!
WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM
Hey, Eriko! That swimsuit looks pretty good on you!
You think so?
I spent a lot of time deciding whether to wear a one-piece suit or a bikini...
...but bikinis make you look more stylish, right?
Right, even with a lame figure like yours, you can hide some of it with a bikini.
Sorry! Thanks for waiting!
Ayano...what's the deal with that school swimsuit you've got on?
It's clear as day that you're trying to score with fetishists!
What? No, no, that's not true! The thing is, the thing is...
Bikinis and revealing high-cut swimsuits... I'm too embarrassed to wear those!
Anyway, this is the only swimsuit I have!
You don't have any other swimsuits, huh?
But that's not the swimsuit they gave us to wear at school!
She actually bought that thing, huh?
Oh, boy! It's really crowded because it's summer vacation, huh?
Okay, guys! Let's swim until we're all wiped out!
Huh? I wonder if he's not here yet.
Ayano, who are you talking about?
Ayano!
Oh! Ayano!
Hey!
Shimotakatani! Over here! Over here!
Aha...
For once, Ayano jumped when we asked her to come today...
...so this was her agenda, huh?
Oh, no! That's not true.
I just thought "the more the merrier", that's all!
And besides, now we're two on two, right?
Does she really mean what she's saying?
I think her brain's rotting.
The self-absorbed moron couple!
Ayano, I think that swimsuit really becomes you.
You're like a flying fish from the city!
Oh, my!
For you, I could be a horse mackerel... no, wait, I'll even be a mackerel!
Either way you'd be a splendid catch, Ayano.
Aren't I, Shimotakatani?
For chrissakes! Both of you can just get sliced up in the nearest sushi restaurant!
Now, now, Yuma. Just calm down, girl.
It's not like they're rubbing sunscreen on each other yet...
Augh!
Huh?
Ugh!
Here I go, Ayano.
Shimotakatani, please hurry and rub that oil over me.
Boys and girls! Thanks for waiting! Your hero is about to come onstage!
Your friend whenever you're in need... Super Cosmos Fighter 7!
Take that!
I can kill time until the audition by working this gig at the Hero Show!
This is a brilliant "kill two birds with one stone" strategy!
Great job! The next show's at 2 o'clock, so we'll be needing you then.
All right! I'll give it my best shot.
But really, I'm impressed by how motivated you are.
Sure, because children's shows are the gateway to success for any actress.
Uh, you're talking about non-costumed roles, aren't you?
Alrighty! I'm going to do my best 'til nightfall.
Oh, well, let's just forget Ayano and Shimotakatani...
...you and I can focus on having fun, just the two of us.
You never know, we might get hit on by some cute guys!
Yeah, you're right.
Let's go for a swim!
Right!
Yay! Woo hoo!
E-Eriko!
I'm sorry, Yuma.
Jeez! Don't go barreling into the water like that if you can't swim.
Hey there, ladies...
Are you free now? Would you like to join us over here for a swim?
Listen up, Eriko. We're gonna turn around with our best smiles, got that?
Right, this means we're finally getting hit on for the first time, huh?
Let's go!
One, two... Let's go!
Sure!
Whoa! It's you two!
Idol Odagiri!
Macho Matsuo!
Hey, I'm getting thirsty, you know...
Hey Odagiri, buy us some drinks, huh?
Look, you two! Don't you think you're going a little too far?
Oh, I see.
You don't care if we tell everyone that you hit on your own students.
Uh, all right, fine. Allow me to treat you both to something to drink.
You're the ones to blame, you know. Wearing your hair differently than usual!
Ha, ha! Mr. Odagiri, how unfortunate for you!
But you're as involved in this as I am. You should chip in at least a little!
Ha, ha, ha! Just look at these muscles of mine!
Hey, I want to go on that slide next!
Odagiri, get the tickets, please.
Why should I have to pay?
You...hit...on...us! Why should I have to pay?
All right, all right, I'll do it. As long as I pay, right? As long as...
Wow! It's a lot higher from up here than it looks.
Okay! I'm gonna go first!
All right!
Woo hoo! What a feeling!
Awesome!
Ugh...the friction's making my swimsuit ride up!
Not only that, but I'm getting flooded with water!
Was that Yuma just now?
I'd better adjust my swimsuit while I'm underwater...
Oh, so it was you after all, Yuma!
Ayano, don't come near me now! I'm letting out all the water that got inside.
Inside what?
Yay! This is so much fun!
Hey! Odagiri! Out of the way, out of the way!
Huh?
Man, I must say I'm very disappointed.
If you had to wipe out like that anyway, you should've at least gotten yourself...
...impaled on Odagiri's erection and lost your virginity by accident!
You gotta be freakin' kidding us!
How fortunate for you, Mr. Odagiri!
For not getting labeled as a pervert!
Actually, I think you're the last person even Odagiri wants to hear that from.
Okay, it's getting a lot cooler now, so why don't we get out of the pool now?
Good idea. Himeji and Ogawa should be showing up soon.
Hey, where do you think you're going, Mr. Odagiri?
Oh, uh, I thought I'd excuse myself now, see...
You...hit...on...us.
All right, all right, whatever you say.
Let's meet up at the entrance to the amusement park after we've changed.
Okay!
Don't try to run away, now, Odagiri!
I know, I know! Don't try to run away, now, Odagiri!
Do you think Eriko and the others are out of the pool by now?
Well, I think we still have some time.
Hime, Hime...
What do you think that is?
Huh? What do you think that is?
An exclusive attraction that opens at 5pm. Whirlwind Love Castle.
Sounds like fun, don'tcha think?
Come on, Hime! Let's go in!
What do you mean, go in? It says on the sign, only boy-girl couples can go in.
Oh, don't give me that look. This is one thing I can't do anything about.
Yo, yo!
Moustache!
Farewell!
What was that?
What's this?
One couple, now entering!
It worked, didn't it, Hime?
Why do I have to put on a fake moustache and pretend to be a guy, for God's sake?
ERIKO TAKAHASHI
Hello?
Hey, Himeji! Where are you now?
Right now?
We just went into an attraction called Whirlwind Love Castle...
Whirlwind Love Castle, huh?
Okay, we'll be right there!
Oh, Eriko! Hold up a second!
But it's only for boy-girl couples... I wonder if they have guys with them?
"SEARCH FOR A NEW ACTRESS" AUDITION
Hahaha...hoho!
If that's my competition, then it should be a cakewalk.
Just like my horoscope said, I helped out my friends...
It's not just talent that I have, today I've got luck on my side as well!
Tonight I'm taking the first step towards my career as a world-famous actress!
Boy, am I gonna show everyone that a genius has arrived on the scene!
Hey! This is it! This is it! Whirlwind Love Castle...
What's up with this attraction? Looks fishy!
All right, 3 couples, is that right?
Huh? Did he say three couples?
We're all lovey-dovey!
Boo-hoo...
Jeez, why do we have to get paired off like this?
So? Why are you two paired up with Odagiri and Matsuo?
Well, you see, it's because Odagiri...
Whoa! It's just an extracurricular activity! Right, Mr. Matsuo?
Look, what a gorgeous couple over there!
Whoa! You're right. Unbelievable!
You see, Sayaka? Everyone's enraptured by your beauty.
Oh, really?
There's no one in my eyes but you, Nao, so I didn't notice at all.
Sayaka...
Nao...
Mouri and Koshiba...
Don't you think they sound different?
Maybe because it's summer vacation?
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for waiting!
Welcome to Whirlwind Love Castle!
You will work together as a couple to overcome various obstacles and...
...strengthen your love for each other!
The couple who manages to clear each level and defeat the Last Boss...
...will take home this deluxe plasma TV as a prize!
Man, this is way cool!
I want that plasma TV!
Now then, this is the first level.
All right, use these stepping-stones to cross the pond and reach the castle!
If you fall into the pond, you'll be disqualified.
Okay! Let's go, Ayano!
Shimotakatani... I'll go anywhere with you!
Ready, set...
Disqualified!
Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. Some of those stepping-stones sink...
...and some of them don't.
So please cross with caution!
Oh, come on! You should've told us sooner!
Right, so now Team Ayano-Shimotakatani is out of the game.
Oh, man...so we've got to cross the pond using those stones, huh?
Takahashi, listen! I know I don't have to tell you this, but you're a klutz.
This time around, you'll do as I say.
Hey...hey! This time around, you'll do as I say.
Odagiri! What do you think you're doing? Pervert!
Put me down! Put me down!
Takahashi, do it for that plasma TV. Just shut up and live with it for a minute!
Let's go!
Put me down! I'm going to get pregnant!
You see, Suzuki? Isn't this a piece of cake?
Mr. Matsuo, your muscles are so hard they're hurting me.
Don't worry about it, Suzuki!
Okay, Ogawa! Hang on tight!
Okay!
Look, Sayaka. Do you see that? Everyone is running towards the castle.
Oh, Nao. It would be lovely if they all managed to reach the castle.
Hime, this ball is so big I can't see ahead!
Are you okay, Ogawa? We're almost there. Just hang in there!
Too bad, you're disqualified!
All right, that couple there is disqualified!
We're gonna keep this up 'til the finish line! Got that, Takahashi?
Roger!
No. 18, my name is Kaori Nonomura. My skill is dancing.
I've been taking dancing lessons since I was small.
Not one of them is anything special.
As long as I have this thing, victory will be mine!
It's the Last Boss, huh?
Only four of us made it this far, huh?
Odagiri, we're gonna win this thing no matter what and get that plasma TV, right?
Right! We've come this far, so let's give it our all, Takahashi!
Listen up, Eriko! You and I are enemies now, got that?
I'm not gonna hold back!
Now, then, this is the final stage!
Use the laser gun in your jeep to shoot my target, the Last Boss's target...
...and you win!
But if, on the other hand, your own target gets hit, you lose!
Is that clear, everyone? Now, then, let's begin!
We're taking home that plasma TV!
All right!
Good job, Suzuki!
All right, now it's my turn to show you my dazzling driving technique!
Whoa!
What do you think? Pretty awesome, right?
Hey, ahead of us! Ahead!
Morons...
Take that! Take that!
Odagiri, it's no good! I keep missing!
Don't give up!
Huh?
Congratulations!
We have just witnessed the birth of a new couple!
We did it! We did it!
Now, then, in addition to the large-screen plasma TV, the winning couple will...
...also seal their true love with a kiss, and a photo of this kiss...
...with the couple's names, will be displayed throughout this park!
Kiss?!
Display our photo?
You never mentioned any of that stuff!
All right, the kiss of true love...
If you please!
Ugh...
Kiss Odagiri? Are you out of your mind?
Next up, Entry No. 23...Ms. Akari Kouda.
No. 23, genius actress Akari Kouda...
...has arrived onstage!
I believe this assures my victory, am I right?
Please forgive me...now, then, shall we continue with the kiss?
Huh?
Man, I don't know what happened just now, but it sure saved my butt!
Yeah, it'll be a cold day in hell before anyone kisses Odagiri!
Hey, why don't we all go somewhere for dinner now?
I'm getting hungry!
Good idea, Ayano!
Okay, then it's settled!
Mr. Odagiri...
Right, right, I know what I have to do.
All I have to do is treat you, right?
Mr. Odagiri, I'm in the mood for some grilled liver and garlic!
Come on, Mr. Matsuo, you've got to chip in, too!
I feel like going for sushi!
You and I may overdo it sometimes, but crying when you want to cry is all right.
I can be confident for no reason. It's okay, 'cause I'm included in your life.
Nobody told me that's how I should feel...
What did I do, acting on my own?
My heart may understand, but my heart won't let me do it.
Because I'm not running at the same speed as everyone else.
As long as we're deceived by "the right way to be happy"...
...or the meaning of the word "ready-made", we'll never be together.
You and I may overdo it sometimes, but crying when you want to cry is all right.
I can be confident for no reason It's okay, 'cause you're included in my life.
So anyway, Kouda... what's up with that new hairstyle?
Changing your image?
Huh?
Oh...yeah, that's right.
Next Episode
This is Himeji! Now that we're in high school...
...our days as middle-schoolers seem so far away.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Himeji, do you have any special memories from that time?
Let's see...just the time I met 3 angels in the restroom, I guess.
Huh? Angels?
Next episode of Girl's High...
Long Ago, We Were Young, Too... Back to "A Few Years Ago"!
Listen, Himeji, want me to refer you to a good hospital?
No, thanks, I'm just fine!
