Are you looking for someone in my club?
Izumi?
What do you mean, "looking for someone"?
I saw it, after all.
You saw it?!
Should I get Haruto?
No, it's not what you think! It's nothing, really!
Izumi!
If you tell him, I'll beat you to a pulp.
She isn't gonna beat me to a pulp, right?
A love confession, huh?
Maybe now!
Maybe I can tell her now!
I get the feeling this is my only chance... before graduation!
I've always had feelings for her!
Oh, Soma? That was Izumi who was with you earlier, wasn't it?
Sorry, talk to you later! Oh, Soma? That was Izumi who was with you earlier, wasn't it?
Oh, okay...
Where's Morikawa?
Senpai? She went home.
Thanks!
What was that about?
Didn't he seem super frantic?
Izumi!
Long time no see!
Um, so what brings you here? Does this mean you moved back? Since when?
Hello.
Huh?
Did you happen to...
Morikawa!
That's why he was in a hurry...
Natsume...
What is it, Soma-kun?
You see, I, uh, well...
Uh-huh.
I guess I've got something I wanna tell you, Morikawa!
I-I, uh...
I'm... free... tomorrow!
Morikawa, do you have stuff to do?
Not really. Um...
Oh?
Huh?
You two free?
What?
Huh?
Oh! Hazuki, are you going home, too?
I'm SO hungry! Come get a convenience store meat bun with me!
What? Did something happen?
Komiya, we're gonna go home. Please lock the door when you leave.
Sure thing. Thanks for carrying the cameras for me.
You don't have to thank me for that. It was nothing.
What?
Didn't you say,"She freakin' bosses people around, so let me fondle her breasts in return"?
Y-you idiot! She can hear you!
Will you fondle mine?
I guess so.
Nice, nice! I might suddenly win a prize.
Maybe title it something like "A Victory Just for Two"?
I'm home.
Oh, welcome back. You're home late. How was school?
Hm?
It was okay.
Oh, right! I happened to run into his mom at the supermarket.
She said she still works at the municipal hospital over there.
I mean, Haruto-kun's mom... Haruto-kun's!
I'm gonna hang out with Haruto tomorrow, so I might not be able to clean my room up much.
What? I can't hear you!
I'm kinda tired.
Natsume sure has changed.
I screwed up... I'm so freakin' lame.
I'm home!
Welcome back! You got home late today. Did you eat dinner?
Do we have anything?
I ate with Haru-chan. We have leftovers in the pot, so I'll warm it up for you.
Oh, I can do that!
Well, I can just tell Morikawa tomorrow, right?
Sis, let me borrow your coat tomorrow.
My coat?
Shark Skin Squadron! Sharkman is here!
Whale Shark Vacuum!
Hammerhead Shark Hammerhead!
My friends and I are having a celebration party, so I wanna wear your coat to it.
Oh, sorry. I'm going out tomorrow.
What?! But you said you didn't have any plans!
Sorry.
Where are you going?
To the aquarium.
With whom?
With Yoriko and some friends from class, I guess?
Why do you sound so unsure?
Well, I've only really talked to Yoriko about it.
But after I'd said I had nothing to do, I thought that turning down the invitation would be weird, too.
Are you going with a boy?
Yeah.
Then, it's a date!
I don't think so.
It's definitely a date!
It's almost Christmas! It's the eve of Christmas Eve, you know!
If that were the case, I think he would've invited some other girls from class, not me.
Oh, and after you finish that, go take a bath.
I'm jealous!
The aquarium sounds nice!
Uh-huh, uh-huh! The aquarium sounds nice!
I'm so very jealous! The aquarium sounds nice!
I wonder why he came back now...
Izumi remembers that, doesn't he?
After I had forgotten all about it...
I'm heading out!
Have a nice day!
Because I'm not going to clean up.
Shouldn't you quit while you're ahead?
Hm?
So, today... Would it be better if I couldn't come 'cause something suddenly came up?
You can come as you normally would. We'd get nervous if it was suddenly just the two of us.
Oh, awesome! Yay!
Ow...!
Your muscles hurt? Are you a geezer?
Was her name Morikawa-san?
Hm? Yeah...
Why Morikawa-san?
Does it matter?
She's in the Band Club, and she'd come to cheer us on every year at the summer tournament,
even in the sweltering heat.
That's tougher than what we baseball players have to deal with.
Maybe. So, is that all?
After I saw her playing the trumpet, I couldn't get her out of my mind...
And before I knew it, I couldn't help looking at Morikawa the entire time.
You have to focus on the game when you're playing on the field.
Shut up.
Anyway, I couldn't get her out of my mind, so what else can I say?
I don't know what to say to such an honest confession...
I'd be able to say it, if it were to you.
Hey, Eita, did you get a girlfriend before you transferred?
That's a super annoying question.
You don't got one? Then, everything's turned out all right!
What?
You used to like Natsume, right?
What leads you to say that?
You told me in middle school.
No, I didn't!
Then, how do I know that?
That's what I'd like to know.
Huh. Well, I'll support you.
That's all in the past...
You guys sure got here early.
Eita and I had a lot of catching up to do. Right?
I guess.
What did you guys talk about?
Stuff from the past.
I see...
Oh, they're already here.
Live Sharksucker Missile!
B-b-boom! Boom!
Sorry, they said they wanted to come to the aquarium, no matter what.
All right! This is the final blow!
Ow!
A ray!
Yeah, it's a ray all right.
Ray! Ray! You're so amazing, ray!
Good luck! Swim! Ray, ray, yeah!
Ray, ray, yeah!
So, the three of you went to the same middle school.
Yeah. Was it the winter of second year when Izumi moved to Kyushu?
I moved to Fukuoka.
Fukuoka IS Kyushu.
Oh?! What's this?
It's a Japanese bullhead shark!
Japanese bullhead shark?
It's also called a Sazaewari. It eats clams and sea urchin, you know!
I'm amazed you know that!
It lays eggs in pairs, and the eggs are shaped like drills.
Drills?
It says their eggs get caught on rocks or coral so that they don't get swept away by the current.
Bullhead sharks are amazing!
Look! This is the hammerhead shark.
It's my favorite kind of shark, and this is my second favorite.
Oh, really?
But my real favorite is the sawshark!
I see. So, that's your real favorite, huh?
Mitsuru, there's another shark over here!
What?! Where?!
Look!
Whoa, you're right!
The reason sharks don't eat the other fishes in the water tank is 'cause they're given plenty of food.
So, they're just like you when it comes to calming down on a full belly, Mitsuru.
Next time, let's get some good meat buns, okay?
Yoriko, I'll show you, too.
Next time, let's get some good meat buns, okay? This one's my favorite, and this one's my second favorite.
What-the-hell-for? This one's my favorite, and this one's my second favorite.
What-the-hell-for? What's your real favorite?
The sawshark!
Wait, does that mean she found out? What's your realest favorite?
Wait, does that mean she found out? The whale shark!
Then, what's your absolute favorite?
Hey, Morikawa... Then, what's your absolute favorite?
Hey, Morikawa... The megamouth shark!
I can't see. Pick me up!
Geez, just for a little while. You've gotten heavy lately.
Can you see now?
Yeah. There's another Japanese bullhead shark!
Oh! Soma-kun, what is it?
It's nothing.
What is he doing?
Hey, Morikawa-san, aren't you going to take some pictures?
I'll take one with the Japanese bullhead shark!
What is she doing?
The dolphin-sea lion show in the outdoor stadium will be starting shortly.
Please come to the show with your friends and family.
I gotta go!
Hey, don't run!
Besides, you forgot your bag!
What did I tell you?
You promised me you wouldn't cry today.
Are you okay?
It hurts. I can't walk.
Ouchies begone! Stand up.
Sis, piggyback!
Piggyback!
Geez...
Don't cry. The show's gonna start without us.
Upsy-daisy!
It's so high! I'm scared!
Wh-whoa! It's so high! I'm scared!
Oh, sorry!
No, pick me up again!
Make up your mind.
Sorry, Soma-kun.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Morikawa, do you just have two brothers?
I have a sister in middle school, too. How about you?
I'm an only child. I can't imagine being one of four siblings.
What's wrong?
Oh, no!
Uh, what is it?
Don't move!
Just come this way.
I don't really get it.
Don't hit your head!
Natsume, you have an older sister, right?
Hm?
Did she get lost?
She's a friend from class.
I had to turn down all her invitations to hang out recently because of my entrance exams.
You could've said you came for a change of pace.
I turned down karaoke yesterday, though.
Then, you could've turned this down.
Could YOU turn this down in that situation yesterday?
Anyway, what about you? Don't you have any entrance exams?
I got a recommendation.
For what school?
Joei University.
That pisses me off.
Is that Soma?
He asked where we were.
You don't have to tell him.
He's finally with Morikawa-san, after all.
By the way, you forgot who I was yesterday, didn't you?
I remembered who you were.
Lies. You didn't realize who I was immediately.
Well...
What?
I was surprised that you realized who I was.
What? But we talked a good deal in the committee and stuff during middle school!
That's true.
Hey...
You won't tell, right?
Tell what?
About that.
About what?
It's fine if you don't get what I mean.
It's from Haruto.
They seem to be having fun. That's nice.
Why don't you go?
I'm good. My muscles hurt anyway.
What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with it.
The dolphins splishing was amazing!
It turned into a splash!
It splished and splashed. It was seriously awesome!
They're completely attached to him.
I'm glad Soma-kun likes little kids.
He really wants to spend time with someone else, though.
Oh, there they are!
Hm?
Disappearing without telling us... Are you a little brat?
Sorry, something came up...
You've gotten pretty close.
It's gonna get shiny soon!
Right!
What should I do with the photos I took today?
Well, I guess I'll put them up on LINE.
I only know Eita's, though...
Then, let's add each other!
Izumi's here, too, after all.
Huh?!
All right!
How about a group?
Soma, you make one.
What should I name it?
Anything's fine...
Uh, Enoshima Aquarium?
I thought you said, "anything's fine."
It's like we're in high school.
Well, we ARE in high school.
But I get you. This screams high school.
Just say it out loud.
Oh, no. I'm grinning.
Oh?
All right!
It's all in the past, right?
It was only sent to me?
That's one hell of a sticker.
Ohmigod!
It's the mysterious transfer student!
You've got the wrong person.
