Miya-chan! If we don't hurry the bus will leave without us!
Just what is she doing?
Maybe she overslept?
Well I guess you would let down your guard, oversleep, and then late for school if you live near the school.
You better be careful as well, Yuno.
All right.
Ah, there she is.
Sorry.
Miya-chan, you are late.
Miyako!
Safe.
All right, everyone, settle down.
I'll be your tour guide today. I'm Yoshinoya.
We'll be heading to the zoo today for a sketching lesson.
All right.
As you can see on your left is VeryMart which is next to Yamabuki High School.
On your right is Okada Meat Shop where you can buy delicious croquets.
And on your left is Minogawa Dairy where you can buy delicious whipped cream.
And now on your right is Oyama Newspaper Store that has sold newspapers for 13 years.
I better subdue it myself as well.
Oh, are you easy to get car-sick as well, Yuno-chi?
Ah! No, don't! It's a big no no for me if I achknowledge that I'm
"easy to get dizzy", "easy to get car-sick", and "it's swinging back and forth"!
I see. I'll stop mention it then.
Yuno-chi, you look like you've all grown up!
If I do this, it'll subdue the stimulation by the scenary.
I took the motion sickness medicine,
sticked a 1 yen coin to my wrist,
rubbed dried plum on my belly,
and wrote "people" on my palm and then swallowed it.
Somehow I have a feeling that last one is not related.
But riding the bus with everyone seems like we are going on a hiking trip instead.
I guess.
Come to think of it, I was always sitting in the front when going hiking in primary school.
Since all the ones who are easy to get motion sickness get to sit in front.
But I always got so excited and couldn't fall asleep the night before going hiking.
Really? I always fell asleep right away though.
Eh? You don't get excited about it at all, Miya-chan?
I did, but if I don't go to sleep I wouldn't be able to enjoy the hiking the next day.
I guess so.
It has been a while since I went to a zoo.
I probably haven't been to one since lower grades in primary school.
I probably haven't been to one since higher grades in primary school.
Oh! Hiro-san, Sae-san!
Did you wait for us?
Since we are here so we might as well walk around together.
It's been a while since I've been into a zoo.
You too, Sae-san?
Oh? You didn't go on dates in here? The zoo is one of the usual dating spots, right?
O-Of course I did! On my dates.
Uh... um...
We held our hands and saw ice cream passing by while we were eating a herd of wildebeest (gnu),
i-it was such a nice memory.
Sae-san's speaking non-sense now.
A herd of wildebeest, is that delicious?
How cute.
But I want to see a herd of wildebeest at least once.
Though it would be impossible unless you are in the savanna.
Wow, what a big elephant.
Say, doesn't the rough skin of the elephant remind you of that?
That?
The magnification screen of dry skin in cosmetic commercials...
Oh!
Now that you mention it...
So whenever I see elephants, I have an urge to put moisturizer on them!
I think it would be a bit creepy if you put too much moisturizer on them however.
I suppose Hiro-san would put moisturizer on Rhinos when she saw them as well.
The slippery and smooth rhinos...
I'm sorry that you have to do this because of me.
Mom, you promised not to talk about this again.
I'll do my best so the numbers of your white hair will not increase.
That's so like them really talking about this.
Thanks as always, John.
Why does he have a foreign name?
And John later on learn of the shocking truth that his mother Sachiko is not his real birth mother.
So it turned into such a development.
It's a tapir (バク [Baku])! How cute!
That's some fascinating color pattern opposite of a rice ball.
Opposite of a rice ball... I see, it certainly does.
I wonder why does it have such a black and white color pattern.
I suppose it has such colors so it would not stand out from its surrounding environment, which means...
That's definitely wrong.
Come to think of it, there's a saying that baku (獏 [バク]) eat people's dreams.
I guess they eat people's dreams with their mouths wide open!
Um... uh...
So it's bakubaku.
I like lions because they are so cute.
Lions are... cute?
Yes!
I saw it earlier on television that they act like a cat and found they are so cute ever since.
I see. Well, it belongs to the Felidae family after all.
So I'm sure it'll sleep under the heating table during winter!
A heating table that a lion is sleeping under... I'm sure no one would ever get inside it.
Since your life is on the line.
I see they have animals that live in water here as well.
We can see their swimming form through this as well.
Aha! It's a steller sea lion!
It's an earless seal, Miya-chan.
Oh?
Wow, that's some amazing courtship display.
C-Courtship?!
Now now, give him your reply.
E-Even if you say that... We just met...
Does that mean Sae-san resembles an earless seal?
Eh? Where?
Hm... her glasses.
There. We sure saw a lot.
Then shall we have lunch?
Since we are in the zoo, I put in apple rabbit in my lunch box.
Me too, I made some that resembles the elephants.
Hiro-san, you are so amazing. How did you make them?
I'll teach you later, okay?
I made sure I brought mine today.
Eh? You made your own lunch box, Miya-chan?
Oh, so that's why you were late.
Tada!
Ehhhhh?!!
Oh! I have the mayonaise as well if you are wondering about that.
Uh... That's not why we are...
I'm a Sea Otter.
Just a single performance is enough!
As expected from eating a whole round cabbage, it made me feel more attached to the animals.
So you brought such a lunch to eat in the zoo.
All right. Maybe I should start organizing.
Oh, you mean the ones you drew today?
Huh? Does a hippopotamus stand on its own two feet?
Nope.
More like the subject for today is to sketch the hippopotamus realisticly, right?
No matter how you look at it, that's exaggerating it too much.
It's too unreal which totally defeats the purpose of coming all the way here to sketch them.
Isn't that right, Yuno-san?
Eh? Um... uh...
Therefore I drew it again to fix it.
But this is...
In order to draw just so it looks like those animals, it's important to pinpoint its characteristics.
Oh, okay.
Knowing its structure like its bones and muscles that you can't see in a flash
would probably help you get better in drawing them I guess.
Even if I say that, it's probably too difficult to grasp so
I suppose it's important that you keep on drawing it until you get better in the end.
Mmmhmm... I see.
Then why don't you draw it as well?
A-Actually, I'm bad at drawing animals.
I was told by my middle school art teacher that
the animals I drew are terrible so my subconcious also got the idea that I'm bad at drawing it.
Sae...
Well, I got told and it can't be helped, because I'm really bad at it.
That's...!
It may be true when you were in middle school, but you've come a long way since then.
But...
The image of the actual animal is deformed that it can at best be described as an illustration.
How's everyone doing? Are you all having fun drawing?
Eck! Yoshi!
H... Don't look!
Oh, you drew it fantasticly.
Eh?
I think this is good at bringing out the carefree and wild side of the animal.
Sae?
Come to think of it, Sae called Yoshinoya-sensei "Yoshi", right?
I wonder if everyone from her class last year called her that.
Then what should we call her this year? How about "Yoshi-yan"?
Why is it in Kansai dialect?
That was fun.
Let's come and have some fun again instead of having a field trip here.
Huh?
Sensei, we'll be leaving soon, why are you not getting on?
You see...
Just the thought of riding the bus again on the way back makes me dizzy already when I get close to the bus.
Oh, that's why...
It's really fun today.
But I wonder what happened to Yoshinoya-sensei.
She's not there when we got back to homeroom. I wonder if she got back all right from the zoo.
Sensei! Sensei!
Are you all right, Yoshinoya-sensei?
This is...
Hidamarisou, sensei.
Yuno-san, and everyone. What happened?
What happened you asked? Well...
You were leaning against the nameplate of the apartment looking all dizzy.
It was dangerous since you looked dizzy so we carried you to Hiro-san's room.
I see. I was going to catch a taxi to go back to the school but my motion sickness...
Oh no! If I don't hurry and go back to school...!
Ah! Sensei, watch out!
You should rest for a little bit more. I'll get you something to drink.
I'm sorry.
Sensei, here you go.
Thank you, Hiro-san.
Have some, even though these might not suit your taste.
Miyako, don't say it like that! Those are Hiro's!
This is so nostalgic.
Hidamarisou...
Huh? Have you been in Hidamarisou before?
Yes I have. A student of mine lived here in the past.
I haven't been into here ever since. It sure brings back memories.
I see your room is very clean.
It's completely different from Sae-san's room!
I do clean my room after I finished my writing every time!
You guys didn't play pranks such as changing the walls with fake similiar looking ones,
using the stair to practice your sculpting skills,
or putting something strange like basins on the ceiling, right?
Of course not!
Oh! You didn't know?
Hidamarisou is famous for its collection of eccentric artists.
Sensei, a question.
Yes, Miyako-san?
How did you get your hands on such clothing?
I made them all myself.
If I want clothes that would suit me the best, there's no other way than me making them myself.
This one also! I made this from scratch last night!
So you spent the day before the school field trip on no other thing than that?
Oh. I see you like cosplaying.
Cosplay? What do you mean?
Eh? Since you dressed like that...
This is just my outfit. This is not cosplaying.
So she doesn't know that she's cosplaying.
Eh? Really?
Oh! This is...!
Eh? The photo collection of Yoshinoya-sensei?!
What's this?
My class made this in the school festival last year.
It's just an honorarium. I see you kept it all this time, Hiro-san.
You know, the whole 300 copies of that book was sold out in 15 minutes.
Eh?
It's almost like concert tickets of a popular band!
Is she really that popular?
Well... not really...
Isn't it strange?
It would be believable if she's an actress. But the photo collection of a teacher selling that well?
Now that you mention it...
That's why she became the topic of many rumors.
Actually, there is a rumor about her being an idol featured in Matsuya Jonathan's website.
There is also a rumor that all the people who bought her photo collection are fake buyers she hired.
Yea right.
Oh! What were you all referring to about "Matsuya-san" and "fake buyers"?
Eh?!!
I-It's nothing!
I was not the only one who was featured in a photo collection book.
The principal was also featured in one as well.
The principal as well?!
In the end, it's an honorarium for the school festival, so...
"Find the principal in pictures of crowds of people", it was a slightly different kind of photo booklet.
Now where am I...?
Wow, cool!
You look so cute!
You look so pretty!
You look so young!
How old are you?
Forever 17.
Thank you for taking care of me. Well then, I'll head back to school now.
See you tomorrow, Yuno-san, Miyako-san. Be sure to finish the sketches of today's field trip, okay?
I wonder if she's all right now.
Her eyes still looks as if she's still a bit dizzy.
It's rare to see someone who's that bad in motion sickness.
How was she last year? She was your homeroom teacher right, Sae-san, Hiro-san?
When we went on a field trip for a sketching lesson, we went to an art museum.
If I recall correctly, she didn't feel well before we even reach VeryMart.
That's fast!
She got further than last year then.
But even though she's a bit different, she's quite an interesting person.
Come to think of it, when we went to the classroom after the entrance ceremony,
she told us, "Please sit wherever you like for now."
We sat down and that became our assigned seats for the rest of the school year.
It was like that for us too.
Aha! Just as I expected.
The shortest one in the class was sitting behind the tallest one in the class.
The shortest one was having a hard time the whole year if I remember correctly.
But she's a nice teacher
in a lot of ways. Her teaching method is also very refreshing.
The principal got mad at her when she overdid it from time to time though.
Since when did she start teaching in Yamabuki High School?
Beats me. Do you know?
It was said she came back to Yamabuki High School after she graduated from university.
Anyway, her age is unknown.
She said "Forever 17" earlier, she's not saying it as a joke but she's being serious.
So she feels young I suppose?
But as an art teacher, isn't that a great teaching from her?
If you don't feel young deep inside...
For a matured woman?
I think there are things that you won't be able to comprehend if you stay being a girl deep inside.
Surely, a normal teacher wouldn't try to present herself as a tour guide on the bus on a field trip.
Well, that's certainly a situation where it's hard for you to differentiate it's out of the norm, or from her personality.
I love her regardless.
Oh yea! About her.
She used to pay a visit to her students who got sick.
Eh? Really?
You know, the art department is different from the normal department
since we have a lot of students who live by themselves.
That's why she's worried that they might feel down as well when they are sick.
As she pay a visit to them, she nurse them back to health it seems.
Oh...
She's so kind.
But she doesn't do that anymore, right? Why?
Even though they were abscent from school, they just mostly caught a cold or influenza.
She's always absent the day after she paid her visit.
It seems she caught the cold as well from the visit.
She stopped doing it reluctantly after the principal scold her "If you are absent as well,
then what will become of the class?!"
I can understand how she feel back then.
She doesn't seem to be very strong and very athletic.
There is a rumor that she's very athletic even though she doesn't look like she is.
Huh?
There is a rumor that she won the Japanese marathon a few years ago.
Eh? Really?
That's so unexpected.
In the end, it's just a rumor.
She's such a mysterious character so there are a lot of rumors surrounding her.
A lot of them are just made up by people.
Girls love rumors and gossiping after all.
Eh? Then the story where she was a gangster is just a lie?
That's merely one of the made up rumors that got too exagerrated.
I heard she was formerly a returning champion in a conveyor belt sushi bar
by eating 90 dishes in under 30 minutes.
There is a rumor that she's the daughter of a plutocrat family.
There is also a rumor that she's a world class designer under a different name,
as well as a rumor that she's going after a Hollywood star.
There is a rumor that she destroyed a rock by hand in China,
a rumor that she found a runaway horse and brought it back,
and a rumor that she saved an old woman from an upcoming truck.
Watch out!
Impossible! It's just simply impossible for her to be doing such things.
I guess they are all just rumors.
Somehow she looks like cosplaying in any of those situations, how mysterious.
I'm sorry. I'm here to get something I forgot.
Oh yes!
The one I saved was not an old lady but a boy.
She's kidding right?
That was fun.
Come to think of it,
I finally went to the zoo after a long while but I haven't been to the aquarium in a while.
I wonder if I can go to the aquarium with everyone some other time.
Yoshinoya-sensei...
After hearing the stories from Sae-san and Hiro-san, she becomes more mysterious by the minute.
But it would probably be an interesting school year this year.
Since it's this time of the year, I want to confess about something.
Oh my, you too, Yuno-san?
Actually, I too...
W-What is it? What happened to you all all of a sudden?
Here goes!
Ready...
Thank you very much, everyone!
I'll do my best in my diet!
Hidamarisou is the best!
I... I um... uh...
Next time is December 25th - Farewell, Ume-sensei.
Ehhhhh?!!
We'll be waiting at Hidamarisou, be sure to watch it okay?
