"Suzuka"
Man, it's another hot day today.
Summer is here, all right.
Are you really coming to club practice today?
Oh, yeah, I'll come!
Good.
Umm... well.
We'd better hurry up or we'll be late for school.
She's so cold.
"Misunderstandings"
So this equation is different from the previous one.
I'm wondering if she's still mad at me.
Stop comparing me to someone who's not even alive!
It's really annoying!
After something like that happens...
there is no way we can be the same as before.
I know that Akitsuki likes Asahina.
What are you doing,
- you idiot! - But at that time,
why did Asahina say something like that to him?
Because she didn't want our club member to lose?
Or...
...like me...
she likes Akitsuki?
All right! That's all for today!
- Okay! - Okay! - Okay!
Man! We're finished!
Good practice, Akitsuki!
Here's a towel for you.
Oh, thanks!
Honoka, you're so kind.
Huh? Not really.
Manager! I need a towel, too.
Ah, are you thirsty?
Akitsuki, drink this.
She ignored me.
Well, time to go home.
Ah! Umm... Akitsuki!
What?
Umm... If it's okay, can we go home together?
Akitsuki!
As your punishment,
you have to make 20 dashes after practice for a whole week.
What? I can't run anymore today!
Anyway, what's the punishment for?
Do you really want me to remind you? Huh?
Sorry! I remember it now!
I'm sorry!
All right! Good luck then!
Okay...
A-Are you all right, Akitsuki?
Why is he so strict only to me?
That macho-man captain...
I think he has a lot of expectations for you.
Is that so?
Let's do it. I'll stay with you, too.
No, no!
Don't stay on account of me. Please go home.
Well, but...
Don't worry, I won't be goofing off!
All right?
Okay.
Good luck.
Okay!
After I leave...
Suzuka, are you going to train by yourself again?
Yeah, I'll go to the Kanto-region competition, so...
Akitsuki would be alone together with Asahina.
This is so tough!
I bet she'll ignore me even if I speak to her.
She's angry with me, rather, she doesn't care about me.
I feel so empty.
And I'm hungry.
Let's finish these dashes quickly and go home.
I can't go home because I worry about him, after all.
Has he done it yet?
Should I go check?
I'm... finally... finished...
How about Asahina?
She's leaving now.
Damn it!
Can't she say at least one word to me?
She is a high-jump idiot!
Sorry for being a high-jump idiot!
Whoa! Asahina!
I thought you were already heading home.
I forgot something I wanted to tell you, so...
Huh?
Huhhh?
There!
Ouch!
After practice, you should stretch your body more!
I bet you always take it too easy, right?
You had something to say.
Is that it?
I have more!
Ouchhhh!
You were much too stiff during your start.
And you bend forward too much when you're up to top speed.
I've been watching you while you run.
Can you use your brain more when you run?
Huh? You've been watching me?
Who else is here?
There're only the two of us.
Umm... right!
Well, Asahina did care about me, after all.
Even if we can't be like we were before, this is enough for me.
- Ah? - Oh? Honoka...
I thought you went home already.
Umm... I forgot something.
So I just came over to see how you were doing.
I see. I just finished.
Asahina was pointing out all my shortcomings.
Like how bad my running was.
I just gave you some advice, as a track and field athlete.
I see...
Yeah... Asahina probably has a lot of expectations for Akitsuki
as an athlete, just like our captain...
Not like me... right?
Okay! That's all for today!
You did pretty good not skipping practice this whole week, Akitsuki!
Y-Yeah! I barely did...
There will be no practice the day after tomorrow, Sunday!
You'll have a good rest!
Okay.
No practice on Sunday.
Oh?
Yes?
Good evening!
I'm from the cable TV company!
Oh? Aren't you working for the newspaper company?
Today, I'm here to ask you to sign up for cable TV.
I have two part-time jobs!
Ah, is that so?
If you sign up now,
I'll give you free pool tickets for the amusement park!
These are the last two!
How about that?
You liar! I know you have lots!
You're such a suspicious kid!
All right!
This time, I'll give you these as an exception.
Go enjoy it with your girlfriend!
Well, think about signing up for a contract, okay?
"Nerimarine"
I don't have... a girlfriend.
Huh? The pool?
What do you think?
You mean about asking Suzuka?
Right.
Listen...
Do you understand the kind of relationship a man and a woman have...
if they go to the pool together?
W-What kind?
It's not like what happens in comic books or in TV dramas.
There is no way she'll go with you,
unless she likes you or is already your girlfriend.
You're right.
Besides, you confessed your feelings to her once and were rejected, right?
Don't tell me you're going to repeat history?
Didn't you learn from that experience?
B-But you can improve your muscles
without straining your hip and legs in the pool.
You don't need to try to persuade me!
Besides, you're gonna ask her today for a date tomorrow?
Suzuka probably has some plan for her day off, right?
Maybe so...
I bet she'll...
I would tell you to forget it.
You're right.
I shouldn't ask her.
I don't want to hear...
that she has plans.
Ah, Akitsuki!
Honoka...
It's hot today, too.
It's already July!
Umm... It'll be another hot day tomorrow.
Probably.
Akitsuki, are you okay with the heat?
No... not really...
Really? Me, too!
I really don't like the hot weather.
If it's okay, can we go to the pool together... tomorrow?
Huh? With me?
Ah! I know what those are for!
It's the pool that just recently opened!
Are you guys going there tomorrow?
Yes, yeees! I'm coming, too!
What? B-But...
I meant just the two of us, Akitsuki and myself.
I-I'm coming, too!
I can improve my muscles without straining my hips and legs!
Suzuka!
Let's go to the pool!
Huh? The pool?
Yeah!
The four of us are going tomorrow.
So can you join us?
W-Well, it's okay if she can't come.
There's no way she'll come.
I'm sure she'll go to see Tsuda.
Okay... I'm going.
Huh?
Yeah! I can't wait!
All right!
Did she make up her mind after looking at me?
Asahina... why did she come to the pool?
But... I'm sure she made the decision to come after looking at me...
because I would be there, too?
Thanks for waiting!
Wow!
Stop staring at us!
I-I'm not!
Akitsuki, you dirty old man!
What's in your mind, anyway?
I said I'm not staring at you!
Ah, Akitsuki is staring at us.
Well, even if I got tickets from you, I don't have anyone to go with.
Then why don't you ask a guy you like,
and tempt him with a sexy swimsuit?!
I'll do my best, lady!
And I bought the swimsuit, too!
Asahina might come here because I'm here.
So I should be more aggressive.
Hey, where...
Hey, let's go to the water slide, Suzuka!
I heard that it's the tallest in the world!
Hey, it's dangerous if we run.
But if we don't hurry, it'll get packed!
Hey, Akitsuki!
Sakurai!
The wave pool is over there!
Let's go!
Then Akitsuki, come with us.
Ah... I'm okay!
But...
Come on, let's go!
Throughout this whole day,
I'll do my best to get closer to Asahina!
Wow!
- Wow! - How many times do they need to do that to be satisfied?
They've been doing that for an hour already.
They look so happy...
Aren't they going to pay attention to me at all?
Akitsuki!
You're not swimming yet?
It's really fun.
Yeah, I'll stay around here.
Because Asahina is there...
H-Hey, Akitsuki.
What?
Don't you think my swimsuit looks a little bit small for me?
It's a little bit tight... around my breasts.
Ugh! I got a bug in my eyes!
Ah, you're here, Sakurai!
Let's go to the water slide over there!
Huh? Ah, I...
Come on, let's go!
W-Wait... Kobayakawa!
Oh?
Here she comes! It's my chance!
Asahina!
Huh?
I'm going to get some juice, do you want something to drink, too?
I hope she'll say she'll come with me.
I'm thirsty, too!
I want a coke, Akitsuki!
Huh?
How about you, Suzuka?
Well... a melon soda.
I got it.
Let's do it one more time,
and then go to the wave pool next!
All right.
I wonder if all she wanted was to come to the pool.
Boy, that was really fun!
I enjoyed it so much!
Me, too!
No progress after all...
I could hardly talk to Akitsuki.
How about going to get something to eat, then going home?
Sounds good!
- What shall we eat? - Whoa!
- Well, how about meat? - Meat?
- Yeah, let's go to a barbecue place! - Hey, wait!
My shoelaces...
They're all cold.
Huh?
Asahina...
Is she waiting for me?
S-Sorry!
Huh?
Hey, Asahina...
Why... today...
Wow! It's awesome!
It's so beautiful, isn't it, Akitsuki?
Akitsuki?
Fireworks...
F-Fireworks... right.
I remember the fireworks we saw were also beautiful.
What?
Ah...
Darn! What am I saying?!
No... umm... I mean...
L-Let's go!
They're probably looking for us.
Ah... Asahina! I...
I...
Besides, you confessed your feelings to her once and were rejected, right?
Don't tell me you're going to repeat history.
Here they are!
What are you two doing?!
We were looking for you!
What were you guys doing?!
Sorry. Yamato's shoelaces were untied, so...
You'd better be careful, Akitsuki!
Sorry...
Then let's go to eat now!
O-Okay.
She must be mad at me again.
I just said... my friends asked me to go to the pool.
Oh, yeah. With a few friends.
It doesn't matter where I go.
Of course not.
But I just worried about you.
Because you always come back and go to Kazuki's grave.
Well...
Ah, I see! You found a guy you like, didn't you?
And you wanted to go to the pool with him!
What?!
No way!
Is that all you wanted to say? Then I'm hanging up now!
Ah, wait...
It's still easy to read what's on her mind.
Okay, okay. I'm really glad.
Keeping Suzuka from coming back home... That guy is going pretty well.
Asahina.
What?
Can we go home together?
With me?
Asahina, you... umm...
What?
Umm... well...
You and Akitsuki are close, aren't you?
Huh?
You two always seem to be having fun talking together.
Not really! All I do is complain to him!
Really?
Is that true?
There's no way I can get close to a guy like him.
What's wrong?
Then... Is it okay?
Is what okay?
If I confess my feelings about him...
Huh?
I... really like Akitsuki.
Since long before you met Akitsuki!
Why are you telling me this?
Because looking at you, Asahina...
I feel you like Akitsuki.
I... I...
I don't really like...
Yamato.
Yamato!
N-No...
Honoka...
You know...
I didn't mean anything that I said.
That's okay.
I know...
Huh?
...that you don't like me.
I know that full well.
Umm... well...
We'd better hurry home. It's almost time for dinner.

Until now, I thought that we were just good friends.
But I realized that my eyes always search for her.
For Honoka.
It's a different kind of happiness than being with Asahina.
"Next episode: Lips" It's a different kind of happiness than being with Asahina.
"Next episode: Lips" But I can relax when I'm with her.
