Oh dear!
The results of your sports test were that bad?
Yeah.
I was a little shocked myself.
It's almost Golden Week, so why don't you start exercising?
E-Exercise...
Shion was really enthusiastic about the idea, too.
She's really pushing for that!
Come to think of it,
won't you hang out with your friends during Golden Week?
What?
Um... I-I'm not sure.
You should invite them to do something.
Oh, that's right.
Your father and I are going to visit you during Golden Week.
Really?
Okay, great!
I'll tell Shion...
What? You already told her? Whaaat?
Golden...
Week!
It's so much fun to have multiple days off!
TEARDROPS ARE FALLING
Do you have any plans, Hana?
I'm going to...
jog with Shion every morning.
Really?
Running could be good.
Hana, your lack of strength is... How can I put it?
You can't even put it into words.
- Th-That level? - Yeah.
What are you going to do during the short break, Kamu?
A piano recital.
That's about all I have planned.
Huh? Really?
I wanted to see you play the piano, Kamu.
- Me, too! - Me, too!
Then, I'll invite you to the next one.
I'm guessing you have a date during the break, right, Eiko?
Why would you guess that?
I just have normal plans with everyone.
See?
13:30 ~ Hina - Rooftop Event 14:30 ~ Momoka Aka 15:30 ~ Midori, Miyuri 16:30 ~ Marie, Yuri
It looks like a harem route strategy chart.
What is that?
Where if you make even one mistake, you get stabbed!
What? That sounds scary.
Eiko!
A girl from Class 1 wants to talk to you.
Really? Thanks.
Excuse me a minute.
Eiko has already put the moves on a girl from another class?
Kamuri, are you studying anything else?
V-Various things.
Like horseback riding?
Y-Yeah.
Seriously?
Whoa! You're like the daughter of a wealthy family!
Wh-What else?
Marimba...
- Marimba? - Marimba?
- Adorable! - Adorable!
She hasn't really let her guard down around me much yet,
which makes me feel a little sad,
but Kamuri without Eiko around is cute!
I'm back.
Welcome back, Eiko!
- Oh, she's back. - Okay, okay.
You two are really close, huh?
Have you been with each other since elementary school?
No. We went to different elementary and middle schools.
- What? - What?
During sixth grade, we played for a few days, right?
Yeah.
And with that alone, she's this attached?
Someone dashing down the harem route is different from your average person!
I still don't know what that is.
By the way, what are you doing during Golden Week, Tama?
I'm going to an event, appreciating art,
buying books and meeting up with a friend who lives far away!
That's a packed schedule!
Well, depending on the person,
it could all be the same thing.
The same thing?
I see. They're all busy.
I'm free the last day of the break.
Why don't we all do something together that day?
I'm free that day, too.
I'm free.
Th-That day is good for me, too!
We go well together, don't we?
We really are soul food!
You mean soul mates.
So, what should we do that day?
Instead of going somewhere,
why don't we do a study group?
S-Study group? Why?
After all, we've got placement tests right after the break.
But it's the last day!
Don't you want to laugh and bid Golden Week a fond farewell?
Right, Hana?
Oh, I would be fine with a study group.
Just seeing all of you would make me happy.
Tama loses.
Where should we study?
At the library?
If it wouldn't be a nuisance,
we still haven't been to your place, Hana.
I wanna go! I wanna go to Hana's apartment!
Remember, you said we could hang out there.
Maybe I could make "tama-les"!
You said I could leave sweets there.
Of course, if you can't...
I'll put out the welcome mat!
Are you sure?
That means you're all welcome!
Yeah.
I know what "welcome mat" means.
- I'm looking forward to it! - Yep.
By the way, I'm not really going to make tamales!
Friends are coming to my room!
- It was only a pun. - I know.
Friends?
Yeah. Three of them are coming over.
Well!
Well, well! That's something to look forward to!
Y-Yeah!
But I'm going back to my parents' house for the last day of the break.
Oh, I see.
If I'd known, I would've planned to go home a different day.
I've got it!
Maybe I should have contractors renovate the apartment!
There isn't time for that!
Y-You're right.
Then a big cleaning...
It'll be fine.
You've suddenly gotten busy, huh, Hana?
Yeah!
What fine weather!
A beautiful day for a jog, right, Hana?
Hana?
Your mom asked me to get you in shape,
but I didn't realize how frail you were!
Frail?
I'll at least make up for it
by training you until you're yoked!
Let's aim for 16-pack abs!
That's too many! That's gross!
So five more laps! Let's zoom!
Let's go!
W-Wait!
I just had to get this limited edition stuffed animal!
Sorry to make you come with.
No, not at all.
It's fun just looking at your happy face, Hina.
Eiko...
You're supposed to get me with a snappy comeback there.
Oh, you were kidding?
Knowing you, I thought maybe you were being serious.
By the way, a drink like this always comes with two straws, right?
I thought it was so a couple could drink it together, but is it...
It's for that, don't you think?
I don't know if you're acting naturally or doing it on purpose. I really can't tell!
Breakfast...
and lunch.
Thank you for the food.
Thank you for the meal.
There was one left.
I couldn't eat another bite.
Going to an event,
appreciating art,
buying books,
meeting up with a friend who lives far away!
These are heavy! I'm tired!
But this is awesome!
We're here!
Dad! Mom!
Hazuki!
It felt like I was waiting a thousand years with Hana for you to finally arrive.
We were just here recently.
As always, Shion is crazy about her aunt.
She sure is.
Huh? This tea...
You noticed?
I found the tea leaves you said you liked!
Thank you! This is delicious!
Wow, it hasn't been long, but have you grown?
I wanted to make you happy with this, Hazuki! I'm overjoyed!
No, you haven't.
I'm not going to suddenly grow up.
Well, I have.
I've grown by four kilograms!
Gaining weight doesn't count as growing.
Blame it on your mother.
She can't seem to kick the habit of cooking for three people.
Though by the time you come home,
maybe she'll be the opposite way, with the habit of cooking only for two.
Then I won't get to eat?
Don't worry.
Your dad will be the one who won't get any then.
I do need to lose what I gained.
D-Dad, are you okay with that?
Mom?
Hana, you seem a little more cheerful now.
I'm relieved.
Yeah!
I wanted to meet your friends.
Yeah, I'd like you to meet them, too.
All three are so nice and really funny!
I have so much fun when I'm with them!
And when I think about them coming over, it makes me so happy!
Shion and I made these.
Oh, they're nice!
Hana's room is so dreary as it is.
I always feel a little lonely on the day Mom and Dad go home,
but today is a little different.
After all, my friends are coming over tomorrow!
Hana!
T-Tama! Good morning!
Morning!
Thank you for inviting me over today!
Th-Thank you for coming!
Hana, it's only been a few days, but have you slimmed down a little?
Maybe it's the result of jogging every day!
I'm not suddenly going to lose weight like that.
You ran this morning, too, didn't you?
You ran, didn't you?
You did run, didn't you?
Hana... Tama...
Get away from her.
Morning!
Good morning.
Kamuri, wh-what did you bring?
Snacks to leave there.
You know how squirrels store up food for the winter, right? It's the same thing.
She's a little animal.
A little animal?
Will we be able to meet your cousin today?
Shion has been at her parents' house since yesterday.
Oh, really?
I wanted to meet her.
I brought something for her.
Would you give it to her when she gets back?
Sure!
Thank you, Eiko!
It's sweets, so you two should share it.
As usual, you're devoted to raising the characters' flags.
Again, what are you talking about?
I can't wait to see Hana and her cousin's love nest!
Nest?
That's...
Oh, th-that...
I thought it was kind of overdoing it,
but since it was there...
No, it's cute!
It sure is!
It is!
C-Come in! There's nothing really in my apartment though.
We're coming in!
There really isn't anything in here.
It's very tidy.
Well, she did just move here, right?
Y-Yeah, that's right.
You don't even have a rice cooker?
No. I always eat with Shion in her apartment.
Then what do you do when you're alone?
Um...
Study, I guess...
Study? Of your own will?
Are you like some great woman?
That is impressive.
N-No, it's not.
Studying is about the only thing I have here to do.
Then let's forget about studying for today and just have a good time!
No, we're going to study.
Are you an honors student? That's not the Eiko I know!
I'm not an honors student, which is why I'm barely hanging on.
But one thing before we start studying...
Eiko...
Right!
Hana, Tama...
Happy...
...birthday!
Me and Hana?
Your birthday is this month, right, Tama?
And Hana's was on the day of the entrance ceremony,
so we're celebrating both in between those days!
A birthday party before the study session.
We have cake.
Cake?
You're even using an item to jack up your likability rating!
Jeez, I love you!
It dropped.
Grrr!
I'll use the same thing to do a birthday event for you two also!
When? When is it?
My birthday is June 20th.
October 30th.
I've got it memorized already!
August 5th and December 15th, right?
You didn't get a single thing right.
Here. Happy birthday.
Happy B.
Thank you!
We didn't give Hana a real present on her birthday, so...
Our second chance.
Th-Thank you, Eiko and Kamuri!
We're the same age, right, Hana?
The same age...
Hana?
Oh... Huh?
Huh?
That's strange.
Sorry, but thank you.
Thank you!
Hana...
Thank you, Kamuri.
You're so touched to get a present that you're crying, so let's open it!
Okay!
It's cute!
One for each of you, from the two of us.
Thank you!
It's like we have to separate these two lovers.
I-I feel a little sorry for them.
I've got it!
Why don't we leave both here in Hana's apartment?
Sure, that's okay with me.
But are you sure?
Yes! Can I come to see it once in a while?
Yeah, of course!
Was that just now what you call a "flag"?
Now you're getting it, Eiko!
Let's have cake.
Yay! This is what I've been waiting for!
MATH ANSWER SHEET First-year, Class 2 Name: Hana Ichinose
This feels slightly off.
S-Sorry. I don't have any plates.
And with Shion out, I can't borrow from her.
It's okay. Wherever you are, cake is cake.
Then let's dig in!
Thank you!
Kamu is right! Even without a plate, cake is cake!
Maybe this is what they mean by not judging a book by its cover!
I think it's not quite the same thing.
Kamu, give me a bite!
The whole thing?
Delicious!
Here, I'll give you one, too.
That's the equivalent value of that one strawberry?
Strawberries are amazing!
After we're done eating, it's study time.
Why?
Why won't you just let me be happy?
Because if I did, I'm pretty sure you'd be unhappy tomorrow.
You really are good at studying, Hana!
And you're good at explaining things, too.
N-No, I'm not!
Hey, could you tell me how to do this problem, too?
Let's decide on an order! A lineup!
About this formula...
You beat me to it!
No beating me to the punch!
Now I'm glad I shut myself up in this empty room and studied so much
How should we decide?
How about a clothespins on the face showdown?
because there was nothing better to do!
No way.
Sorry.
Hana, can I use your bathroom?
Yeah, go ahead.
MATH 1
Kamuri, what don't you get?
You get to go first, Kamu!
So, go ahead! Go on!
Th-The equation for question seven...
Equation? You don't understand the equation?
Kamuri!
Awww, Kamu, what's the matter?
There's nothing to be scared of!
Come on, Hana! Help me chase her!
Ouch...
Cut it out. Don't scare her.
Humph! Here with her boyfriend, huh?
C'mon, Hana, let's beat it.
Are you two young hoodlums?
POTATO CHIPS
Teacher Hana,
thank you!
- Thank you, Teacher! - Thank you, Teacher!
Oh, no, no, no, I'm no teacher!
Will you tutor us again?
If you're okay with my meager help, I'd be happy to anytime.
Can we come back again even if it's not to study?
O-Of course!
Then, see you tomorrow!
Yep! See you tomorrow!
Keep the snacks safe.
It's pretty!
Hana, Sorry, this is a little late, but happy birthday! - Mom Happy Birthday. - Dad
Mom...
There.
That's a good angle.
