The girlfriend has the right, I believe.
You know what to do, right?
Act like a couple.
Yeah, just leave it to me.
I won't be put to shame by fools with love on the brain.
Hey honey, what ya wanna do when we get there?
Let's take a walk along the shoreline together.
That sounds great.
We can talk about our future while gazing at the setting sun.
They're totally faking it.
They're so fake.
Fake...
Hey Masuzu, wouldn't it be romantic to look for shells too?
If I find any that are the colour of cherry blossoms, I'll give them to you.
That sounds so wonderful.
We can each keep half of the pair as a souvenir of the trip.
Yeah, let's make lots of memories about our love.
Definitely awkward.
It's like some third-rate film.
The early bird...?
Crap... I'm going to have to talk about the one thing truly suited to lovers.
Hey Masuzu, you know how in Magure Keiji-

#12 Outcome of a Scheme is a Battlefield
Himecchi, here we go!
One... two...
Incredible!
This is really nice.
Hime, what do you think?
I want a .zip of it.
We'll begin the club's activities now.
We'll be doing some super-popular swimming, some super-popular shell gathering,
some super-popular playing in the sand, and some super-popular watermelon splitting.
I want you to do all of these as practice for the contest.
Okay!
It's not scary?
Are you sure it's not scary?
It's not scary at all.
Let's go!
Jump!
It feels great.
It's salty...
I have finally conquered the Grand Line!
Are they kids?
You said it.
They won't become popular like that.
So you're not going for a swim, then?
I wont forgive you if you tease me.
Hey, look at this.
Doesn't it look like a heart?
Huh?
I bet another one just like it is lying around here somewhere.
Want to look for it together?
Huh?
It just looks like fried fish to me.
What the hell?!
Takkun, you jerk!
It seems even Fuyuumi-san's popularity is no match for your cluelessness.
And what about you, Little Miss Popular?
As you can see.
You're like a koala at the zoo.
Who says I'm like Koala's March?
That's not what I said.
Do you have a gooey chocolate centre or something?
Why are you acting like someone with love on the brain?
I'm supposed to act like we're dating, right?
Oh yeah, I suppose so.
But those three aren't even looking at us.
Everyone's having a good time.
Shaved Ice
Ramune
It tastes weird...
But the flavour leaves something to be desired.
The sauce is just overly salty with nothing else to make it good...
It's the soggy noodles that really get you.
But strangely, it makes you want to eat more.
Wow, she's not in a delusion for once.
Everything tastes great when you eat it on the beach.
Maybe they deliberately make it more flavourful because everyone's tired after swimming?
Eita-kun,
can you prepare dessert for us?
Huh?
When did you...
You can do it, Ei-kun!
Smash it like you're popular!
Eita's popular-style sword skills are top-notch.
This popular hall monitor will grade how well you break open that watermelon!
Quit adding "popular" everywhere!
Hey, where's the stick?
We don't have one.
Use your head to break it open.
You mean, use my brain to figure it out?
No, I mean smash your head against it and break it.
You meant literally...
Now, start!
Hey, hey, Ei-kun!
Over here!
Eita, no.
The underworld is that way.
Come towards me.
Kidou-kun, over here!
The word of a hall monitor would never lead you astray!
No, Eita-kun!
Everyone's trying to trick you!
The truth would only come from me, your girlfriend.
Natsukawa's the one person you shouldn't listen to!
The club president is an evil god of darkness,
a demon lord of chaos, and a devil queen!
Watch out!
That woman will lead you to your demise!
I choose to believe my girlfriend!
No! Ei-kun! Don't do it!
Don't go! Eita!
What are you saying?! Wait!
Masuzu, where's the watermelon?
Face this way and go straight for three meters.
Jump this way and get it!
All right!
Ei-kun!
No, wait!
Not that way!
This way! Ei-kun!
Watermelon get!
These are...
These are the world's softest, whitest watermelons.
How are they, Eita-kun?
Are the watermelons good?
Ei-kun...
What do you think you're doing?
You won't hold me, but you're...
Shameless!
Shameless
Branded with the words of thy sins...
We don't have any roux.
Maybe I should go get some.
No, I want you to replace the bulbs in the chandelier.
Huh?
It looks like they burnt out.
Oh, okay.
In that case...
We'll get going.
Hey, Natsukawa-san.
Don't you get asked out anymore because you're dating Kidou-kun?
Yeah, I guess so.
I've seen you sigh after being asked out behind the gym.
The guy who asked you out was yelling and screaming after that.
I don't like guys who get angry when they were in the wrong.
I mean, if that happened repeatedly,
I'd hate being asked out too.
It wouldn't be strange to no longer care about who you go out with.
I see.
But,
if that's why you started going out with Kidou-kun,
I may not be able to forgive you for that.
So what's the story, Natsukawa-san?
Fuyuumi-san.
How much are you supposed to peel off of an onion again?
Why did you go all the way to the centre?
You could have just stopped after the brown part!
Oh, no wonder I couldn't see when to stop...
Why didn't you say anything sooner?!
Just leave the vegetables to me and go wash the rice.
And don't use any soap either!
There's no way I'd wash rice with soap.
I only said that because you did something so cliché!
Geez...
Talking to me like that... Of course I'm not that stupid...
We need definitive proof.
Huh?
I can't really hear.
We need to show definitive proof.
That we're dating, I mean.
Y-Yeah, but I'm not sure what...
What do you think would work?
A present?
Purchased items won't do.
We need something more intense.
It needs to be something that will convince them with simply a glance.
More intense, huh?
The Wind Slash.
The Wind Slash!
Huh?
Wind Slash!
You mean, a kiss?
That's right.
A nonchalant kiss in front of the others would work wonders.
Like it's commonplace for us,
you kiss me like it's just a casual greeting.
Wait a second.
Are you serious about this?
What are you getting so worked up about?
We've already kissed many times.
A simple kiss doesn't mean much to us anti-love types,
but it's a big deal to those girls with love on the brain, right?
Do you realise what's going to come of this?
Yes, it'll become quite the battlefield.
Don't treat it like someone else's problem!
There's three of them!
Yes, you're absolutely right.
That's why I'm giving you the option to back out on this one.
Huh?
I won't use your notebook to force you into it.
You can decide whether you want to kiss me or not, Kidou Eita.
Was this it?
Ei-kun, you suck.
The three of hearts is over here.
Are you bad at memorising things?
No, it's...
This is the plan.
After spending time with everyone,
you're going to say you're tired and are going to bed, and stand up.
Then I say, "Good night, darling."
You whisper, "Okay, good night, honey" into my ear and give me a kiss.
Is this Europe or something?!
Ei-kun?
Are you tired?
No, not at all.
I'm fine.
I see.
How about everyone else?
You still up for more?
Yeah, I'm fine.
If I kiss Masuzu, I'll be headed straight down the battlefield route.
I'm fine.
By the way, was that Michel-san you were texting before?
But even if I don't kiss her and try to head down the harem route,
That's right. He gets lonely if I don't contact him every day.
it's just a matter of time before they figure out that it's all fake.
In that case...
I-I'm tired, so I think I'm going to head to bed.
Now say it.
Okay, then I guess we'll call it a night.
What?
You don't have to stop because of me.
It's fine.
I'm kinda tired of this.
Anyway, there's something I wanted to give you today.
Here you go.
This is for you, Ei-kun, and this is for you, Natsukawa.
What's this?
Open it up.
All five of us have the same thing.
Himecchi designed it.
By the way, this isn't a Z.
It's the Z-like kanji in the word for "maiden".
Master's the one who found a store who'd make them for us.
Chiwa came up with the idea.
You know how the sports teams have matching uniforms and stuff,
but yet our club doesn't have anything like that?
I thought we should have something since we're an official club now.
So I talked to the two of them about making something.
We kept it a secret from you, Natsukawa-san.
You're the one who made the club for everyone.
So consider it a present from us members.
Why did you keep it a secret from me too?
If I told you, Ei-kun, Natsukawa would find out.
You're terrible at lying.
Tomorrow's Misscom, right?
It'd be hard to give you something like this after the contest,
so that's why I wanted to do it now.
The reason Chiwa and the others were talking wasn't because they wanted to try to break us up,
but because of this?
You got me.
Thank you for the very thoughtful cellphone strap.
I'll treasure this.
I'm sorry!
I just couldn't kiss you in that situation.
It's fine.
If you would have forced a kiss in that situation,
I would have hated you for it.
In spite of myself, I was touched.
And at the same time,
I was reminded of how ugly a creature I really am.
No, it was just chance that...
No, it wasn't.
Harusaki-san and the others know I'm a rival,
yet they can still give me something like this as a present.
They can give a present to someone they're fighting with.
That's who they are.
They're not like me at all.
I can't win the contest tomorrow.
Maybe not...
Why don't you just withdraw?
I thought about that, but when I consider how they feel,
I think I should participate and face whatever decision comes of it.
When I took you away from Harusaki-san, just how painful was it for her?
How sad was it for her?
When I think about that, I can't just forfeit.
9/10: Sunny. I will become a doctor and heal Chiwa!!
Thank you for everything up to now.
Once this trip ends, I will free you.
The president still isn't up.
She seemed well yesterday.
I wonder if she'll be able to enter Misscom.
What time does it start again?
The place opens at four and it starts at four-thirty.
Those taking part have to meet in front of the stage by three-thirty.
She'll probably be ready by then.
Okay, we're heading out.
Make sure you come.
Sure.
Masuzu?
Are you still asleep?
You're hungry, right?
You want some somen?
No, thank you.
Could you leave me alone for now?
The sun that shines upon me, in the sea...
My heart is also in the blu-
Outta the way!
Ow...
Ouch...
Don't touch me, you molester!
You disgusting geek.
You disgusting virgin!
Hmph.
Virgin?
That's the best insult you could come up with?
Huh?
Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross.
Die, die, die, die!
Die, you virgin!
That's right!
Say that more!
More!
My big resort trip is ruined now.
You have enough money. Go overseas.
I've already been overseas.
Besides, someone like you shouldn't even be here.
Shut up.
I'm on a school trip with my club.
Then, is Suzu here too?
So, how's Suzu doing?
Is she okay?
Is she eating right?
You curious?
Curious?
More like, I have to report to Papa what's going on.
Now, tell me.
You might say that, but you like Masuzu, don't you?
Shut up, virgin.
I see.
So that's what happened.
Suzu was known as the jewel of the Natsukawa family.
A jewel.
In short, an accessory.
A tool for Papa to show off to his high society.
He took Suzu away from her mother,
and brought her over to live with him for that reason.
Suzu behaved exactly like our father expected her to.
She put on the perfect act as an obedient daughter who respected her father, both intelligent and graceful.
Being the way I am, Papa didn't expect much of me.
But Suzu can pull it off, you see.
That's why she kept acting to meet his expectations and, finally, went crazy.
As she continued to trick herself, she forgot who she really was.
Suzu says some pretty crazy things, right?
You think she's being harsh, but then she's nice,
and then she's all cold again.
Hasn't she strung you around a lot too?
Yeah.
I was constantly strung around...
But it wasn't so bad.
It wasn't like every day was a chore.
I see.
Thanks for coming to like my sister.
If there was someone who could stand to be with Masuzu,
what type of person do you think he'd be?
Someone who could stand being with a liar?
I thought that was obvious.
Her accomplice.
