[bunniefuu]

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yeah...

Huh?

To see your face like that, is truly a privilege for me.

Ah! I can't!

What was that?

Whoa!

- Sorry, sorry. - Dad, are you okay?

You've been acting strange since last night.

It's nothing, it's not weird.

I guess I can't go?

What?

Oh, the camping trip?

There is a test of courage! There are many ghosts in the forest...

Is it possible, you're afraid of the test of courage?

Of course not.

Mom and dad both have work.

Soy sauce

Soy sauce

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Kyoka, did something happen?

Huh? What? Nothing. Nothing at all.

- No? - Yeah.

Last night, you didn't eat much either.

That's strange isn't it? It was such a delicious meal.

I haven't had tempura in ages.

Oh, that was magnificent, what do you call that...

- Kiss! - Kiss?

*Kisu is Japanese whiting fish, known as Sillago japonica

The Kisu* tempura. It was the best.

Is it called a kisu... because the mouth of the fish is pointy?

No, "kisu" is an old Japanese word for Fish,

it has nothing to do with the English word "kiss".

In the Kansai region, the word "kisugo" has been used since the Middle Ages, and is listed in the Vocabulary of...

Ok, enough talking about "kisu", I understand now.

I'm sorry, Hayate.

You did so much for me.

Snap out of it! Snap out of it!

- Kyoka! - Oh.

- Was it time for you to leave, too? - Yeah.

I just got a call.

Shahi Curry

This is an Indian restaurant.

They said you could conduct a free yoga class during their break time.

Really?

Where do you get all these connections, Hayate?

The manager is my friend, I went to India with him.

Well, India is kind of related to yoga, right?

- Thank you, Hayate. - My pleasure.

What? Why didn't you punch me?

Oh, I wonder why...

Well, I've gotten used to it? This Western behavior.

Yup.

Oh, we'll miss the bus!

Why is she so happy?

Are you going to the camp, Niji-kun?

I don't know. What about you, Kana?

I'm going. You should go, too. It'll be fun.

What's wrong?

If she didn't like me, she wouldn't have asked me, right?

Kana... She's so cute.

If she didn't like me, she wouldn't hug me, right?

- Hug? - On the day when we win the game.

Oh.

I don't know about that.

In other countries, it's a normal greeting.

In Japan, it's...

What was that?

No, there's zero possibility of that.

Do you like someone too, Hayate-sensei?

- Yes, I do. - What's she like?

Hmmm...

I think she's the most fun to be with.

- Fun? - Yeah.

Well, she's a little messy, but...

she's really kind and generous.

The onigiri came in different shapes, didn't they?

- Yes, yes. - I knew it, it's Kyoka-chan right?

Nijiro, your love score is really high!

I guess so.

Actually...

I'm thinking of confessing my feelings to her.

- What? - Because at the campsite...

it would change the atmosphere and set the right mood, right?

The atmosphere?

- I have learned. - You're welcome.

Hayate-sensei and Kyoka-chan, I'll be rooting for the both of you.

Will you root for me too?

OK.

- Yay! - Yay!

He kissed you on a hill with a beautiful sunset, after bumping into each other?

- What's with that? - How did it happen?

You guys are too loud.

"To see your face like that,"

"is truly a privilege for me."

No one's ever said anything like that to me before!

- What happened after that? - Nothing happened.

What?

We said goodbye at the station.

- Just like that. - What the hell is that?

What was that all about?

I didn't know what to do after that.

For now, I have to work hard to become independent.

I can't be irresponsible, there's Nijiro-kun to think about.

You made the mature decision to leave it vague.

Uhh... what a waste!

Your timing to go independent now...

if you fell in love with him, it would just make things complicated for Kyoka-chan.

Suzu, you're still young, you can't talk like that.

Does it matter how young I am?

Because you can't just say "I love you" just because you love someone.

Adults have to be strategic when they're in their s.

Any older, it's a different kind of life.

Everyone else... I wonder how they do it.

That person, those people...

It's kinda amazing. They all seem like experts.

- I suppose so. - Yeah~

What was your dream when you were a child, Akari?

Oh...

To be a wife.

I'm not asking you to marry me.

Really, when I was a child.

But for some reason, now...

A wife eh?

That's surprisingly normal.

Oh, if we were to get married...

I would call you my "partner".

I wouldn't like people to call you "my wife"

You're such a gentleman.

No, I just want to be "fair".

Uhm... It's starting to rain really hard.

I'll take a cab home.

- I can take you home. - No, that's okay.

I'll just go home.

See you later.

He's a gentleman, but there's something not right about him, and I can't put my finger on it.

Well, it's natural for you to feel uncomfortable.

Even if you don't go to a dating service, it's not easy to decide to get married at the first meeting.

It's not that easy.

That's right.

I'll just have to see him again, right?

- What? Yeah. - Thank you.

Ah, after talking with you, it's all sorted now.

Eh?

How about you, Sawada-san? How's your marriage hunting going?

I've been a little busy with work. I thought I'd take a break for a while.

You're busy with your work, aren't you?

Well, in addition to writing manuscripts, I have to give lectures.

I also appear on the radio, occasionally.

Radio? What kind of things do you talk about?

No, I just answer questions. It's boring stuff.

Of course. You're a lexicographer, aren't you?

It's amazing, if you think about it.

Oh, no, I don't think so.

If you're busy... Please don't force yourself to walk.

I'm not forcing myself.

It's just... an extremely pleasant time for me.

"Extremely pleasant"? Hahaha.

The way you say "extremely"...

- I haven't said it out loud in about years. - Hahahaha.

- I'm sorry, that's so old-fashioned. - No.

Mr. Walking Dictionary, for me to be walking with you,

- it's truly an honor. - Not at all.

- Shall we go? - Let's go.

When my back is in good shape... my legs feel lighter, too.

Is that so? It's easier to come up, isn't it?

- It's easier to come up. - Wow!

- It's bouncy. - That's great!

Hello!

Hello!

Now cross your right arm over, and bend your elbow.

Yoga Lesson in progress Why don't you start yoga in a friendly atmosphere? Trial lesson [Free of Charge] Taking applications for students

Then, place the matching palms together.

Lift them up

Sensei, my palms aren't touching!

I have a frozen shoulder, they not touching at all either.

If not, then you can just hold your thumb on this top like this.

- Oh, I can do it now. - Oh, that feels good!

Do you have any other areas of your body that are bothering you?

My feet are swollen.

- My whole body is swollen. - I know, right?

Shut up! (all laughing)

Then, let's try a foot massage to reduce swelling.

Place the heel of this foot on the opposite calf.

And then stamp on it.

Put the block under your butt, yes.

- If you liked it, please share this with others. - That was fun.

I look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I hope you and your wife will come again.

Yes, please do. I look forward to next time.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you as well.

Several of these Yoga students will become future customers.

Oh, if you don't mind, "Anik's Special Lunch",

- would you like to try it? - By all means.

Delicious!

Curry is amazing.

It's like eating traditional Chinese medicine, with all kinds of spices.

I'm sure he'd love it.

- Welcome. - Kyoka-chan!

Hello.

The curry here...

I was thinking you'd like the curry here, and then you actually showed up.

I was so surprised.

I like the Saag Curry here.

There are spicy ones that even Nijoro can eat.

Dad always wants to try so many different kinds,

I always end up with the green curry, right?

Yeah.

What kind of curry is that?

Chicken curry, I think.

Dad, have a bite.

What?

But it'll be an indirect kiss.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

But, doing yoga here, that was a great idea.

Hayate introduced me.

He's friends with the manager.

Fuwa-san eh?

Oh, that's right!

Kyoka-chan, are you free next Saturday?

Hmm... why?

Will you go camping with me?

Camping?

Nijiro, what are you talking about?

Because you and mom can't make it, right?

And Hayate-sensei is there too. I'm sure Kyoka-chan will be fine.

Well...

My apologies,

his school has a camping trip,

and I can't make it.

Oh, then I'll...

Don't worry about it, really.

Daddy will take you the next time, okay?

But why can't I go?

Sorry to keep you waiting, Nijoro-kun, here's the usual.

- The curry's here. - Please enjoy.

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

I guess it went well? Anik just called.

Thank you so much.

I'm hoping to get more customers at that restaurant for my own business.

- Good luck. - Yup.

Do you want something to eat?

- Ahh, I want fried rice. - Okay.

Oh, I heard there's a camping trip at Hayate's school coming up?

What? Why?

At Anik's today, I bumped into Seita and Nijiro.

What?

They seem to be regular customers.

And then, Nijiro said "Will you go camping with me?"

That Nijiro...

But he can't go, so I feel a little sorry for him.

But I don't know if I should intrude.

- Whoa! - Oh no!

I really did it!

Whoa, I'm all drenched! Cold, cold, cold!

- Eww! - Ah...

- Here you go. - Oh, thank you.

Change the atmosphere, huh?

Come to the camp.

What?

Actually, there's someone that Nijiro likes, he wants to confess to her at the camp.

Ahh.

So I wanted him to come.

Confession, eh?

- That's important, isn't it? - Yeah.

You know? In America, when you want to go out with someone, you don't need to confess.

What? Then how do you connect with someone?

Somehow or another, you just feel it?

What? You don't know that.

- I guess... - Huh?

Kyoka! Let's go camping together.

Yes, yes, hello?

Yes, I can talk now.

Uhm, the camping trip...

I'm going.

No, but...

I know I'm stepping out of line.

Uhm, If I'm a bother, just let me know.

No, that's not true at all.

I'm happy you want to help Nijiro.

It's just, you're busy working on important stuff, it's such an imposition.

Oh, that's okay.

I'm sure they'll let me promote yoga at the camp.

Are you sure you're okay without Mom and Dad?

Totally.

Because I really wanted Kyoka to come.

Why? Do you like Kyoka that much?

Hayate-sensei does.

Ah... I made him a promise.

I will be rooting for Hayate-sensei,

and Hayate-sensei said he would be rooting for me.

- For Nijiro? - Yeah.

I'm going to confess my feelings at camp to the girl I like.

Confess?

Heh...

But what are you going to do after you confess your feelings to her? As elementary school kids...

- What do you mean? - I mean...

You're going steady...

"I just love you"

I just love you

You'll say "I just love you"...

Yup.

So let me go to camp. Please!

Okay. Good luck.

Yeah! Yay!

Let's go

OK, fine? Good!

We are here! Yay!

Put your belongings in the tent and come to the open space.

Are you ready to have fun?

Yay!

Come on, follow me.

- Yay! - What a nice place, Nijiro-kun.

- Nijiro-kun, shall we go then? - Okay.

- Wear your hat properly. - I will.

- How's it going? - The best!

I've never slept in a tent before.

- Hahaha. - Kyoka-chan, take care of Nijiro?

- Sure! - Wow!

Ah, Nijiro, can I talk to you for a second?

Ahh. The food was good, but...

honestly, I could use a break.

She's the daughter of one of our key clients. I guess it can't be helped.

Yeah...

We're here safe and sound. Don't worry.

The campsite is great.

Higashimura-san.

Hello. Ahahahahaha...

- It's been a while. - It's been a while.

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your marriage.

- Thank you very much. - It's all thanks to you two. I really wanted to thank you today.

I was surprised at how quickly you got married.

Actually, we went camping.

Oh, stop it!

I only said "we went camping" and not anything else.

It was... very arousing!

Camping was exciting?

Cooking together, pitching tents together.

It brings you closer together, doesn't it?

That's right.

Even in the tent, very much so!

Oh, Teru, that's so embarrassing!

I'm telling the truth! What's wrong with telling the truth?

Wait a minute, you're hurting me.

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

- What's wrong? - Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...

- Are you okay, Higashimura-san? - Ouch, ouch, ouch...

- Are you all right? - Excuse me.

- Got it! - Woohoo!

- Come on, Nijiro. - The kid's team wins!

- Congratulations. - Well done, Niji-kun.

- Hayate-sensei, you're very popular aren't you? - I guess so.

- That was really cool. - Yeah it was.

What do you enjoy about working with kids?

Well, they're just so cute. And they're so free.

They're not bound by adult social norms. I never get tired of it.

I see.

Now let's make dinner!

Yay!

We are cooking curry.

- And now to explain the rules, Nijiro and Kana! - Yes!

We will divide into three teams and make curry.

We'll have a curry contest and see which one is the best.

Please divide into the teams I'm about to read out.

First, Hayate-sensei is in team A.

Mio-sensei, you're team B...

Dad!

Dad!

My apologies for being late. I'm Nijoro's father.

Okay Nijoro, carry on.

- Is your work going to be OK? - I'll manage somehow.

A word of caution.

When cutting vegetables, watch out for your hands.

When you hold the knife, don't run.

Ready go!

I'll cut vegetables with the children.

Okay, okay. Let's wash the veggies.

Peel the carrots. Wash the carrots.

Here's the peeler. Here you go.

Okay, Kyoka. Go wash the potatoes over there.

OK.

Oops, I made a mistake.

It's okay. They'll still taste great this way.

It's okay. It's okay.

- I'll cut the potatoes then. - Kana, you can do the dishes.

Thanks, Niji-kun.

- Hayate-sensei, you're amazing. - Yeah!

Right? The onions look tasty.

Yeah.

Nijiro, make sure the potatoes are the same size as mine. Look.

- What... Now? - You don't want to lose, do you?

I want Hayate-sensei to win too. Can you help me, Dad?

I want the two of them to be lovey-dovey.

Listen, Nijiro.

If you want to win, you have to be serious about it.

That looks delicious! The meat is so tender.

- Yes, it is. - It's melting.

- Here. - Mango jam.

Okay. It's gonna be really delicious.

Nice, nice! I've put in lots of ingredients,

but the sweetness of the mango jam goes best with curry.

- Hmmm, delicious! - Isn't it?

- It's gonna be the most delicious. - Yeah...

I put in some chocolate, but mango is the best.

It's naturally sweet.

It's a winner. We're gonna win.

♫～If you wanna eat and you know it pat your belly～♫

The curries are in a different order so that you can't tell which team's curry is which.

Hmmm, delicious!

Here are the results!

Well, the team with the most votes was...

- Team Banana! - Yay!

Mio-sensei, Nijiro, and Kana's team!

Alright!! Congratulations!

Dad's an idiot. You're a curry maniac.

Nijiro, for the one that you love, you can't give up so easily.

Ready, go!

- So big! You're really good! - Wow, that was a big one!

That girl in pink is so cute, isn't she?

Have you heard from Hayate-sensei?

No.

You keep staring at her.

I can't help but look.

Even among lots of friends, I'll always recognize Kana immediately.

I can hear Kana's voice very well.

- I'll take this one. - Thank you.

- Where do I put this? - Over here.

- Put it in front here. - Okay.

Adults together as well?

That kind of thing... doesn't change no matter how old you get.

Kyoka-chan, that's "Kyun!".

What are you talking about?

How do you know "Kyun, Kyun", Nijiro-kun?

- Look, that's so beautiful! - Amazing.

- Kana's so good at it, isn't she? - Yeah.

That's amazing.

A doctor who's too beautiful...

I mean, someone like Akari-san,

both internally and externally.

No, I'm not like that.

A doctor who's too beautiful. Even politicians, seriously.

But Akari-san is different.

I have to admit, I often wonder "Why"?

[Radio] Working under the pseudonym "Upcycled", if you want to fall in love,

I have a question.

It's true that it's difficult to call women "spouses" these days.

Even the term "wife" (Okusan), literally means "the person at the back".

I don't know if it's good to call her that.

Well, the origin of the term "Okusan" was...

In a large household, the wife was the person in charge of everything behind the scenes.

It was a term of respect, actually.

But gradually over time...

it changed to an image of a woman being pushed to the back.

I see.

I'm not comfortable with the term "Okusan" either.

Can I get some quietness for a minute?

Hey, driver, turn down the radio.

No, I mean you.

Sawada-sensei, then what do you think is the appropriate term to use for a female spouse?

A-appropriate?

I think anything is fine.

Huh?

Anything?

Sensei, we're depending on you~

Yes, out of respect for the other party,

whatever term it is, if she's okay with it,

whether it's "wife" or "partner"...

whatever you say, it has to be respectful... otherwise, it's just rude.

it's arrogant to force it on the other person, even if it sounds "appropriate".

I'm sorry. That wasn't an answer.

No, no, no.

I think it's time for me to go...

I see.

That's how it is.

Uhm...

I don't really care what you call me.

But... "doctor who is too beautiful"...

I'm not too happy about that.

What? I was just complimenting you, Akari-san.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, driver. Can you stop?

- Sorry, I'm sweating. - Thank you for your hard work.

- Your cell phone was ringing. - Cell phone?

Voice message: Hinata Akari

- Ah, please excuse me. - Thank you for your hard work.

This is Hinata. I found your radio interview very interesting.

Are you all right? Your face is all red.

This is nothing.

My face just turns red easily.

How about you, Fuwa-sensei? We've been here quite long.

I'm good. I like sauna.

Yes.

It feels good, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

I've reached my limit.

Fuwa-sensei.

Wow.

Ahh, I need a moment, I can't take it.

Ow, ow.

Dad, are you okay? We're gonna do the test of courage later.

I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy.

- I knew it, Dad's afraid ghosts. - I'm not.

Nijiro, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Ah, Nijiro-kun, let's go do the test of courage together?

No?

No, that's okay.

Then let's you, me and Hayate-sensei go together.

Wait, Nijiro...

- It's not so scary if it's the three of us. - That's true.

Seita, you can take your time and rest here.

- I'll go instead. - No, no...

- Let's go. Let's get Hayate. - Ahh, no...

Ah, that's not what I... Ah~

And now,

from this point on, the "Haunted forest" test of courage will begin!

Yay!

In the road up ahead, there's a small shrine.

Take one of the cards there,

turn around and come back. You would have completed your mission.

It's dark. Please walk holding my hand.

- Is there a ghost? - No.

Shall we open it?

I'm scared. Here we go. Ready?

Whoa!

Ahahaha!

- Whoa, that scared me! - Hahaha.

- If Dad had come, I think he would have cried. - Eh, Seita?

- Yeah. - Is that so?

What? What is that?

It's devil's tongue!

(from an East and Southeast Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac, commonly known as Konjac)

It's all wet. My face is all wet...

- Oh my God! - Hahahahaha.

There it is.

Proof of courage.

You did great. Now all you have to do is go back.

Okay, now the both of you. Huh?

I'll go ahead first.

Wait a minute, Nijiro.

Hayate-sensei... be brave and good luck!

He's such a handful.

He left! Let's go.

It's dark, let's hold hands.

What?

You're really scared, aren't you?

Yeah...

It can't be helped then. Let's go.

Nijiro... thinks that you and me are an item.

Huh? Why did he come to that misunderstanding?

Do you really think it's a misunderstanding?

What?

Kyoka...

- What? - Hahaha.

Behind you. Behind you.

- What's that? - Oh, the kids drew it.

They said it's the ghost of an old man.

Yeah, he's got a beard.

He's looking at me. It's so cute!

Be careful.

Boo!

- Oh, that was scary! - Oh, over there.

- What? - Stop it, Kyoka!

What was that?

Seita?

- Seita? - Oh! Ah!

What? Ahh...

I thought I could join you guys, so I came here, but...

and, Nijiro...

Eh? He ran ahead first.

That guy... I'm sorry.

If you're scared, I can hold your hand.

I'm fine.

I'm not scared.

Ahh, we're back.

Excuse me, can you help me get some more firewood?

Sure. See you.

Uhh, where's Nijiro?

Nijiro is doing his best right now.

- Oh... Ni- - Shh...

This way, this way. Hide, hide.

And...

Well...

When I'm with Kana, I feel all warm and fuzzy.

I have fun.

Yes, thank you.

So...

Uhm.... Uhm....

I want to be with you, and...

And?

Go for it!

And...

I love you.

I love you, Kana.

Alright!!

That's great, let's get together.

Kana!

But I don't know about marriage.

I, Kana...

love you too, but we're not getting married.

- Ehh? - Hehehe.

- Waaa! - Oh, no!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Dad!

If you can't read the room, you'll never be popular.

Po-popular...

Good job.

Yeah!

Well then... It's now time for bed.

- Good work, everyone. - Good work. Good work.

Please go to your tents and turn in for the night.

- Good night - Good night

I'll sleep in the car.

But...

- Dad, do you have a pillow? - A pillow?

Why don't you just roll up your clothes and use them as a pillow?

Good idea!

I let you down, Nijiro.

I'm going to be sleeping in Kana's tent.

What are you talking about? You can't do that.

Kana's mom is okay with that. Right?

Yes. We don't mind.

- Kana's looking forward to it. - But...

- Niji-kun, shall we go? - Yup.

Wait, wait!

Good night then.

I'm sorry for his intrusion. I don't mind at all.

Would you like to drink some tea?

Yes.

It's nice to go to a place like this once in a while.

Uhm...

Yes.

I'm...

I'm fine.

About the other day...

Uh, uhm...

I don't mind at all.

Just like before.

I want you to mind.

I...

I've been thinking about it a lot.

Seita.

I don't expect us to get married.

Will you go out with me?

But, Nijiro...

I'll see how he's doing. If necessary, I'll talk to him.

As he's still a child...I'll approach it from a parent's point of view.

Kyoka... you don't have to worry about it.

You're still working towards being independent.

But that doesn't mean...

It doesn't mean that I'll be irresponsible.

I'm just saying that I'd like to have a relationship that is free from marriage.

Free from marriage...

Is it wrong for us to be together, just for love?

To be honest...

I want to hold hands with you, Kyoka.

I don't want to be with anyone else.

Me too.

- Good morning, Kana. - Good morning.



- Good morning. - Huh, why is Nijiro...?



Niji-kun, slept in my tent last night.



She is my girlfriend.



Oh, congratulations



- Let's go wash our faces. - Okay.



Thank you very much.

There you go.

Sleep well? I did.

You too, Seita-san? Me too...

It feels so good.

It feels good.

I'm so tired.



Kyoka. You have a lesson now, don't you?



Yes, after I put my luggage down, I have to go right away.



Good luck.



I'll do a little shopping and make dinner.



Thank you.



All right.

Bye, have a safe trip. I'm off.

So much for being a family.

I'm grateful for all your help. Hayate
