Today we're hiking up a mountain for an extracurricular lesson...
Oh! Found ya, Taka!
Huh?!
"B-Big Sis" Hika!
T-Taka...?
Wh-what should I do?
Since that incident with her a bit ago, I'm strangely conscious of "Big Sis" Hika...
You're acting kinda funny. You okay?
Taka!
Alright!
Huh?
Eighth Period
It's really coming down now, huh?
Sorry, "Bis Sis" Hika, this is all my fault...
Well, it was also my bad for hassling you in a place like that.
But, we can't head back there in these conditions.
We'll have to shelter from the rain here for the time being.
Not surprisingly, it's gotten chilly.
Taka, you alright?
I mean, you've always been prone to illness, so-
Taka!
"Big Sis" Hika, I'm cold.
All the same, there's not exactly a way to warm you up.
Ah, well, I did see something on TV recently...
Hmm, but that would be...
This is no time to worry about that!
I don't have a choice.
C'mon, get undressed!
Wh-what?
They say in times like this it's best to warm someone up with the warmth of your bare skin.
Hey!
"Bare... skin"...?
Look, it's fine. Come over here.
Hey!
"Big Sis" Hika...
How's that? Nice and warm?
Huh? Now you feel too hot all of a sudden!
I feel faint...
Y-you alright?!
I'm thirsty.
O-oh!
Hold on a sec. I'll grab the water bottle...
Water...
Huh?
Huh?!
Hey!
Taka, what're you-?!
I-I have some barley tea here, so drink that, 'kay?!
Oh, crap!
Hey!
Tea...
Ta-?!
Stop! Stop! Don't go any lower down than that, Taka!
Ah, my legs are going numb!
Right here, there's lots...
Hey!
H-hold up. Taka, don't drink that!
The water pooled there... is filthy, okay?!
It's still not enough...
Ah, there's more further back in there...
So you've finally settled down, huh?
Jeez, don't worry me like that, okay?
There's nothing I hate more than the thought of something happening to you.
Perhaps my being so conscious of "Big Sis" Hika isn't something that just started recently.
These are girls' clothes!
Since long ago, "Big Sis" Hika...
has always been a bit ill-natured and rough...
But, she's incredibly kind, so...
perhaps, since way back then, I've always...
"Big Sis" Hika...
Hm? You awake?
Go ahead and sleep a bit longer.
Yeah...
"Big Sis" Hika...
Hm?
I love you, "Big Sis" Hika.
Huh?!
Wh-what do you mean by that?!
Hey, Taka?!
W-wait!
Don't go to sleep! Wake up!
Kawanuma-higashi High School 1st-Year Student & Student Council Treasurer Takashi Takahashi Birthday: 2/22 Height: Weight:
Today's the day of the Kawanuma Festival, a joint event.
No doubt about it, this is the Kawanuma Festival.
Within this bustling crowd of students, today I am once again alone.
At least, that's how it was supposed to be...
Why is this happening?!
Suzuki-kun, there's a wide variety of stalls here, huh?
My apologies for inviting you so suddenly like that.
No problem at all. After all, I was all on my own.
Er, why are you wearing a school uniform, anyway?
I wasn't sure how it'd look for a teacher to be here having fun, so I disguised myself...
So, I guess I look weird, don't I?
No! You don't look the least bit outta place.
W-well, that's good to hear.
I invited Suzuki-kun with the hope of getting on a bit better with him,
but, sure enough, I'm nervous.
Huh? Why, if it isn't Matsukaze-chan!
What's this? You out on one of those school-uniform dates?
Hazakura-sensei?!
Well, this is perfect. Go and try the program I'm putting on!
Wh-what exactly are you putting on?
Swimming Club Exciting Cops and Robbers
It's what you might call "Cops and Robbers"!
The goal's to find the criminals running around the school...
and capture 'em with these handcuffs!
Wh-why'd you cuff me?!
Despite your age, you've gone outta your way to wear a school uniform
and come here on a date,
so you must really have a thing for that Suzuki guy, huh?
Wh-wh-what's this all of a sudden?!
Now, come on!
The key for the handcuffs is on top of the shelf just beyond this door.
But, inside there is a space for just the two of you that nobody'll interrupt!
Which is to say, you can do as you like!
What a free spirit.
Yeah...
Uh, so the key's on top of the shelf, right?
This thing here?
U-um, Suzuki-kun, did you overhear that discussion a moment ago?
No. I mean, you were speaking pretty quietly and all.
Oh, really? That's a relief.
Not!
So you must really have a thing for that Suzuki guy, huh?
I heard it loud and clear!
S-she has a thing for me? What the...?!
Did I mishear that?!
But, if she really does....
What's the matter?
U-uh, it's nothing!
Oh, I got the key.
Whoa, you're right there!
Uh-oh!
No way! My bra's...?!
Tsk!
Doh!
U-unbelievable! My clothes got caught on the handcuffs...
Tsk!
Please don't look!
I won't! I'm gonna search for the key!
But, the key is...
Tsk!
wedged in my butt.
Why?!
You can't get it yourself?!
I can't reach that far.
Huh? "Big Sis" Hika isn't here...
I bet she's slacking off somewhere.
This's bad!
If he was to open the door right now...
Now that it's come to this...
Um, can you close your eyes and make sure not to look?
Uh, sure.
But, what're you gonna do?
I-I'll give you instructions...
Tsk!
s-so put your hands out in front of you...
and take off my panties, please.
Huh?! Uh, that's a bit...
I-I know it's a strange thing to ask of you!
But, I wouldn't dare ask anyone but you, Suzuki-kun.
I'm not sure exactly what Sensei thinks of me,
but I can at least see that she trusts me.
Understood!
I can't simply betray that impression she has of me!
Tsk!
Huh?
Oh? Seems kinda soft...
M-my panties are lower down!
Tsk!
The key...
I-I'm sorry!
It's no problem. Please don't be concerned about it!
I am concerned about it!
You placed your trust in me, and yet I always... I always...
cause you nothing but trouble! Sorry!
"Trouble," you say?
See?!
There was nothing at all to cause me trouble to begin with!
There was nothing at all to cause me trouble to begin with, you see.
Sensei, do you perhaps mean that time when...?
Suzuki-kun, even if other people might say the things you do to me are troublesome...
I don't feel that way.
I mean...
after all, I love you, Suzuki-kun.
Huh?!
Huh?
Uh, what am I saying?!
I-I've really done it now! I got caught up in the moment.
Pretend you never heard that!
Wai-! Pretend you never heard that!
I said it! I've gone and said it! How embarrassing.
Matsukaze-sensei... really has feelings for me...
But, what should I do?
The idea of going beyond our student-teacher relationship...
Sato! Hey now, Taka!
What is it?! Hey now, Taka!
Good work, Taka!
Where'd you go, anyway?!
Well, seems everyone around me is doing basically just that, though.
