She was used to being alone.
She should have been used to dealing with sadness and pain.
Yet...
Hinata-chan...
But for some reason, in desperate times,
being alone tears your heart apart.

Fourth Carving: 「Hamaji」
Ah, I found Ma-chan!
Wh-Who is that guy?!
Flirting with my Ma-chan!
And another girl as well!
Ma-chan...
I won't forgive him.
I won't forgive that guy!
It has the salt smell of the sea.
We're really at the ocean!
Hirose-kun.
Hamaji-chan.
Sorry for the wait.
You're also here Maki-chan.
Ta-da!
It's a school swimsuit!
Why are you so proud to be in that?
We'd better enjoy what we can.
There's nothing around here anyway.
Hamaji.
Yui-chan.
Did I hear you say that there's nothing around here?
This trip was only possible because
I provided lodging, remember?
That's right.
But if you're so grumpy, your bikini will go to waste.
Oh, really?
When you've been challenged, it's best to be bold and wear a bikini.
Even when there's no one to compete against?
What was that?
D-Damn.
Hey! Stop right there!
Hamaji, you!
If this keeps up, it'll be just like school.
Help me, Hinata-chan!
Hamaji!
If I say stop, then stop!
Please excuse me for being late.
What happened?
Did you forget something?
No, it's not that.
It just took me a while to find this.
A camera.
It got mixed up with my clothes.
Okay, I'll take pictures for you two.
Give it to me.
Really? Okay then...
Come on, come on.
Get closer, closer!
Maki-san,
stop teasing us.
Right, Hirose-sama?
Yeah.
It's as if... that never happened.
Do you like the ocean, Hirose-sama?
Yeah.
Hey, Hinata-chan... about before...
I'll take you to a much quieter place later on.
Are you ready?
I'm taking the picture!
You can't get away with leaving me out of the picture!
I want to be with Hirose-sama!
You sure are popular, Hirose-kun.
Wh-What can—
Hirose-sama!
Are you all right, Hirose-sama?
Wh-What was that?!
Don't get close to Ma-chan!
You pervert!
Yuki!
Is that you, Yuki?!
What's the matter?
Did you bring me something I forgot?
Who is that?
What are you talking about?
Hamaji's little sister.
Obviously, I didn't.
Her little sister?
I came to pick you up.
We're going home, Ma-chan.
Don't make jokes.
We just got here!
Anyway, I never said you could go on a trip!
Really?
But I'm already here, so just let me...
No!
It's boring to be with a guy like that!
A guy like me?
That's not something you should say, Yuki.
Yukiji-san really loves Hamaji-san.
Anyway, we're going home!
But I told you, I can't do that!
She really must not have wanted to stay home by herself.
Look, the water is so beautiful and inviting,
we should at least take a swim!
Forget it!
Come on, we're going.
You go by yourself, Yuki.
If I'm not with you, I'm not going home.
Don't make trouble for me, Yuki.
Come on, stand up, Yuki!
Yui-chan!
The bus is going to come soon, right?
I-It should, but...
Hamaji?
Just be a good girl and go home on that.
No, no, Ma-chan!
I absolutely refuse!
Okay.
Hamaji-chan!
She came all this way, so why don't we all play together?
You don't mind?
The more the merrier.
And she can't go home alone.
It's dangerous.
Everyone!
I provided lodging, after all.
So be grateful.
Aren't you glad, Yuki?
You'd better say thanks to everyone.
I guess it can't be helped.
I'll have to stay here with you for a day.
Really?
Yeah.
So that I can kill that weak man who not only flirted with Ma-chan,
but also tried to get close to other girls.
Somehow... I think I'm being misjudged.
Let's go!
Take this!
Leave it to me!
Okay!
Here!
There!
Here!
It's mine!
Just you watch.
I'll show you what happens to people who try to get involved with Ma-chan!
There it goes!
This is it!
Watch out, Hirose-sama!
Damn, failed.
W-Was that aimed at me?
I-I'm not sure.
The sand is so warm. It feels great.
I'll let you feel great for the rest of your life.
Just you watch.
Cem
ent
Right.
This time...
Huh?
Hey!
Were you the one that took the cement without asking?!
Damn...
I'm sorry!
Wait! Hey!
Cement?
What was she trying to do?
Well...
A bit further right!
Right there!
Excellent, Hirose-sama!
You're amazing, Hirose-kun!
Okay!
I'm going to get it in one blow!
Hang on, hang on!
That one is damaged, so use this one.
Really?
Somehow this one feels much heavier.
Contestant number two, Maki! Here I go!
'Cause it's specially made.
This time...
Maki-chan, good luck!
You can do it, Maki!
You can do it! You can do it!
Futher right!
Right!
You mustn't lie, Yuki!
Maki-chan, it's further left.
Yeah, straight ahead like that now!
Right there!
Hirose-sama!
What? A real sword?!
That failed too...
Hirose-sama!
Are you all right, Hirose-sama?
Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.
Why do both Ma-chan and that girl want to be with him?
Hang on...
In other words, if I do that, he will...
I caught sea urchins!
Ma-chan, you're amazing!
I got a crab!
I caught some turban shells.
Looks like we're in for a feast.
Ah, Hinata-chan. Where's Hirose-kun?
I didn't see you two for a while,
so I thought you'd run off somewhere together.
I can't find Hirose-sama anywhere.
Can't find him?
What? What's wrong?
Hinata-chan did?
Yeah.
She's got something she wants to tell you secretly,
so leave without anyone noticing.
This way.
Hinata-chan... still isn't here.
Is this really the right place?
Well, I'll wait a little bit longer.
I'd like you to come too, Hayami-chan.
I guess you can't?
That's right.
Why am I thinking about Hirose?
It's got nothing to do with me.
It's Summer!!
It's the Ocean!
Hirose-sama!
Hirose-sama, where are you?
Making me look for him. He sure has guts.
Once you find him, make him help with the farmwork.
But where could he have gone?
I saw him talking to Yukiji-san just before he disappeared.
Really?
What were you talking to Hirose-kun about, Yuki?
I never said anything to him.
You're lying!
You can't look me in the eyes and talk when you're telling a lie.
Is that true, Yukiji-san?
Where is Hirose-kun?
You know, don't you, Yuki?
Please tell us!
We won't get angry, so please tell us, Yuki!
I told you. I don't know!
Yuki...
Ma-chan should just have stayed with me!
You don't need to worry about other people.
Yuki!
Ma-chan, you idiot!
Wait! Yuki!
Yukiji-san.
Hinata-chan's late.
Rub, rub.
You don't have to act that surprised, Takuma-kun!
O-Otoha-chan... why are you here?
Rub, rub, rub.
C-Cut it out, Otoha-chan!
Huh? There's steam coming out of your ears, Takuma-kun.
It seems I got a bit too excited.
What a nice breeze.
It's cool, isn't it?
Yeah.
What are you using for a fan?
My skirt.
I see.
Yep.
It would be better if I had a fan,
but all I've got is my skirt.
O-Otoha-chan!
That's enough!
Really?
I don't mind going on.
That's not the problem.
Yeah?
By the way, can you swim?
No... why?
Hirose-kun!
Where are you?!
Anything on that side?
He's not there.
Hamaji-san,
is there some special reason why Yukiji-san
doesn't like being separated from you?
U-Um, I'm sorry.
My mom...
My mother was the cause.
My mother died when Yuki was still young,
and it was a big shock to her.
So she worries that I, who replaced her mother,
might disappear as well some day.
She doesn't want that to happen.
So that's how it is.
So that's why she gets nervous when a man gets close to you...
Yeah.
It may not look like it, but she really loves her sister.
This is Yuki's!
She doesn't understand how I feel.
Stupid Ma-chan.
The rock where I was lying is already...
And after just talking, Otoha-chan swam off.
Ow!
Damn, my leg has a cramp.
Help me!
Someone save me!
Help me!
Someone!
Yukiji-chan.
Don't tell me... she's drowning?
Yukiji-chan?!
Someone!
Yukiji-chan.
I have to save her.
But...
Help me!
Yukiji-chan!
Damn.
Hirose-kun!
Hirose-sama!
Huh? I...
How is Yukiji-chan?
She's fine. Thanks!
Thank goodness.
She's safe.
I'm glad you're both safe.
Yep, yep.
Don't do anything like that again, Yuki.
Now say thanks to the person who saved you.
Come on, Yuki!
She's embarrassed.
Hirose-kun, thank you so much for saving Yuki.
I ended up drowning as well in the end, so...
How did I...?
Yeah, that, that!
How did they feel?
Hamaji's lips?
Lips?
I performed CPR.
Hirose-sama!
Hirose!
Hirose-kun!
Open your eyes, Hirose!
Hirose-sama!
Move!
Hirose-kun!
Hamaji-san?
Ma-chan!
CPR!
It's the first time I've seen it!
Thank you for letting me see something interesting,
Hi-ro-se.
Right?
U-Um...
Yes?
Thank you.
Yukiji-chan.
What a nice bath.
Your breasts are big, aren't they?
Th-That's—
Let me feel.
What are you doing with your hands?
It's all good, all good!
Please stop!
I said that earlier,
but that doesn't mean I'll let you get close to Ma-chan.
Take this!
Hey!
What do you have against me? You've been rude to me all the time since this afternoon!
I'm sorry.
It sure is lively.
But anyway, I really am tired after today.
What a nice bath.
Yeah.
Hamaji-chan?
I'll wash your back to repay you for today,
Ta-ku-ma-kun.
I appreciate the offer,
but that's—
What's wrong?
It really is a nice bath.
In the end, I never spoke to Hinata-chan about anything.
Hayami-chan?
Hirose.
Hayami-chan, you came!
Wait.
I came to ask you about your feelings.
My feelings?
Hirose-sama...
My wife
Hirose-kun totally believed that I was a girl!
There's no way someone as cute as you could be a girl.
Just think about it.
Ah, you're praising me too much, Yuki.
