"Typhoon Information: High Wind / Violent Storm"
As the typhoon approaches, the wind and rain are becoming... quite... strong, and--
Ah! Are you okay?!
--Please avoid going out today unless it's absolutely necessary.
--This means... we just have to play inside. --Please avoid going out today unless it's absolutely necessary.
--This means... we just have to play inside.
Y-Yeah... Wait, that's your concern?
"Ice" "Entrance"
To and Hotaru said they'd come over later, but...
"Shikada Dagashi"
I wonder if they'll be okay...
"Entrance"
Hey, Coconuts...
What's this?
"Baseball Board Game Gum"
I've been wondering ever since I got here.
Oh, that? That's Baseball Board Game Gum. We decided to start carrying it again.
Gum?
It's not a toy? It looks like it's got a switch or something.
"Baseball Board Game Gum"
Then try pressing it.
This?
The gum goes through that baseball board game like thing and pops out.
I see...
You press a button, and something happens...
Something as simple as that is enough to entertain kids.
"Baseball Board Game Gum"
In addition, depending on the color of the gum you get, you can get a voucher for the shop,
"100-yen snack voucher"
"50-yen snack voucher"
"30-yen snack voucher"
"100-yen snack voucher" "50-yen snack voucher" "30-yen snack voucher" "Sorry, no voucher"
so kids tend to just keep pressing it without thinking!
"You pressed five times, so that'll be 50 yen."
"What?! You're such a schemer, Coconuts!"
At that point, they're not even doing it because they want gum!
That's kinda sneaky.
Hm? Is it sneaky?
They seem all excited and don't complain about paying,
so I thought it was a good way to make money.
Ah, well, if that's the case, I guess it's not a problem.
B-Besides, even a kid wouldn't just keep pressing it over and over--
What're you doing, Hotaru?
What was I just doing?!
Ah... Not a single winner...
That's your issue?! Actually, when'd you get here?!
Baseball Board Game Gum...
It really has the magical power to make you want to press it without thinking.
"Not a single winner"
Well... you're pretty much the only person who'd press it that many times.
"Not a single winner" "Not a single winner"
Oh? You really think so?
Hey, that wasn't a compliment!
Anyway, you're soaking wet. Are you okay?
I-I'll go get a towel.
At any rate, you really came in this storm?
Of course! Don't typhoons make you so excited that you want to go outside?!
What are you, a little kid?
Anyway, I wonder what I should do...
About what?
I thought it'd be tough to go home in this rain.
Were you planning on going home?
What?
Why don't you stay overnight? It's dangerous out.
Oh, you don't mind?
S-Stay overnight?
Yeah, it's crazy outside.
B-But... This is so sudden... We shouldn't rush things.
We should take things slow.
He's right.
It's dangerous outside. You guys all stay overnight here.
Oh, hi, Yo.
Well, you're on summer break. Once in a while is probably okay.
Since... the typhoon...
...makes me so excited that I wanna go outside, I'll go check the rice paddies!
What?!
"Shikada Dagashi" "Kids at home, do not try this, okay?"
Dad...
And so, and so...
"Shikada Dagashi"
The rain and wind are both getting stronger and stronger
To said that he'd come, but I wonder if he'll be okay...
Oh? When did you--
I went ahead and took a bath.
You're drinking milk and relaxing?!
Wait, why did you already take a bath?!
You want to know why I took a bath?
Maybe it was because I was chilled down to my very bones
after trudging through all that rain and wind!
Hm? Why are you upset?
Seriously, I can't believe you came in this storm.
Of course I did! It'd be terribly lonely staying at home by myself!
That's not something you say while trying to act cool!
Well, hear me out.
Wh-What?
We're gonna spend the night here today, right?
Say, you wanna get cozy with Coconuts, right?
Huh?! It's not like that.
Kokonotsu.
About tonight's dinner... Oh, hi, Endo.
Hi! I took a bath first.
You came in this typhoon? That must've been tough.
Of course I did. Typhoons make me want to go outside!
I know exactly what you mean.
Well then, it's our turn now, Master Saya!
What?
Bath time! Let's take a bath together!
Now, Master Saya, let's play!
What? Play?
Yes indeedy!
"Indeedy"? Okay, but what do you wanna do?
I'm glad you asked.
No! You mustn't, To!
Don't stop me, Coconuts.
I have to go... at all costs!
Don't! If you peep, you'll become a criminal!
Shut up!
They're taking a bath! What other choice do we have?!
What kind of logic is that?
Are you saying we should just loaf around at a critical time like this?!
That's right!
Don't you... wanna see...
Hotaru's boo--
I do!
That's exactly why I wanna wait until the time is right, when I can gaze at them
freely without the fear of becoming a criminal!
Coconuts...
I see...
So you get it, To?
Let's put that aside for now and get on with the peeping!
You're so shallow!
Hey...
Mind telling me what you're doing?
Ah... well... you know...
...we were just out catching some bugs and stuff.
Don't go screwing around during a typhoon, you jerkwad!
Seriously...
What was that?
Just some bugs.
Bugs?
Don't worry about it. So what do you mean by "play"?
When it comes to playing in the bathtub, it's gotta be this!
This!
A boat?
Yeah. A pop pop boat.
"Pop pop"... That's cute!
It's a boat, but it's not just your typical boat.
You don't just put it on the water.
The pop pop boat is a steamboat.
First, you put some water in it using a straw.
Next, you light the candle...
...and carefully set it inside the boat.
Then, the water inside gets boiled, and...
...the boat starts moving.
Whoa!
The name "pop pop boat" comes from this "pop pop" boiling sound...
What? "Pop pop"? It sounds like "swish swish."
Or maybe it comes from something else.
Now you're not sure?!
Ah, but, you know, Master Saya...
The pop pop boat is said to be the first powered toy
and kids loved using it to learn science...
Hotaru... Her unique way of interacting with people is mysterious...
...though I don't dislike it.
Hey, Kokonotsu!
Sorry, but--
Dad? Where are you right now?
Let's see, this is--
Ah! Hotaru! Why're you walking around like that?!
Um...
Hm? No, Saya. The futon is over there!
Well...?
Ah! To! Don't open that door!
Sorry, Dad. We're okay here.
"Akonomiyaki"
Tamai!
Shut up! Don't come here!
It kinda feels weird that everyone's here.
Pop pop boat, huh? Dad and I often used to play with these together.
Kokonotsu...
Whoa!
You can play with it if you like.
H-Hotaru! Please don't peep!
"Baseball Board Game Gum, Pop Pop Boat, and..."
"Next time: Beigoma, Reminiscence, and..."
Next time: "Beigoma, Reminiscence, and..."
I can't lose in this game!
