Onii, you can use the bath now.

Hey.

Segawa Hiro

Are you interested in

so-called "dates"?

Segawa Hiro

Are you interested in

so-called "dates"?

Dates?

Nagi-kun

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

You're up awfully early for a

post-field trip make-up weekend.

Yeah, well, you know

Sachi-chan's at school, huh?

Time for a morning nap.

You aren't going to ask why?!

That's right.

Today's the day

See you at the station

at 9!

I have a date with Segawa-san!

So I was all pumped up

But I know where this is going.

We're collecting stamps again, aren't we?

I wish she'd understand already

Collecting stamps isn't all

there is to do in this world.

Umino-kun!

Morning!

You're here early.

Morning.

Perfection!

Oh, my outfit?

I wore stuff I can move around in comfortably.

Does it not work on me?

No, I just

I think you look great!

I can't look straight at her.

Let's go.

R-Right.

I like your outfit, too.

It's weird.

Here?!

Yeah.

I come here often.

It's an amusement park

Is this actually a proper date?!

Hello. Could I get two tickets

with the couples' discount?

Couples'?!

This place gives you a discount

if you come as a pair.

I-I see.

C-Calm down.

I need to stop overreacting.

Yay, Umino-kun. We saved 600 yen.

Yay

It's reassuring how

down-to-earth Segawa-san is.

Do you usually come here with friends?

Nah, I come alone.

You've seen how I tend to

boss people around, right?

So why'd you invite me today, then?

Partly so I could get the

discount, of course,

but also because you seem like

someone who could keep up with me.

All right, here we go!

Right!

I'll follow you forever, Segawa-san!

Let's see

What should we ride nex—

Sorry about that.

I tend to get carried away when

there's something I want to do.

I didn't even notice you didn't

like going on scary rides.

I don't, but I never said I can't.

I was going to apologize about the trip, too.

Off we go!

Like how I took off on my own when we

were supposed to stick with our group.

I should be careful from now on.

Should you, though?

I think you're fine as you are.

I know you get along with everyone,

but I think it's cool how you're

always true to yourself.

I-Is it?

Yeah.

Okay, then, Umino-kun

Next-Gen Maze

I challenge you to that!

What does that have to do with it?!

Well, I'll go this way.

I guess I'm going this way.

Ready, and

What is this?!

Mazes these days sure are amazing.

Huh?

It's fake?!

I embarrassed myself in the

thrill ride tolerance race.

I need to stick it to Segawa-san this time.

I'm going to be the one to escape first!

Now it's a ton of mes!

Wow.

How did they even do this?

Crap, I need to focus on getting out.

Where's the exit?

Umino-kun.

S-Sorry! That wasn't on purpose!

I mean That was an accident.

We have to do these things in

the right order, right? Like

I was actually hoping to do that after

I won against you ten times on exams.

Wait, what am I even saying?!

What I mean to say is

I apologize!

That's a fake.

You're kind of cute when you're flustered.

grudge grudge grudge grudge grudge grudge grudge

Aw, man!

I bought too many summer clothes again.

Look at this.

Hey, Erika-chan

Do you know where Onii is right now?

Nagi-kun?

Come to think of it, he went out

dressed all weird this morning.

He's on a date.

Oh, with Hiro-chan, right?

Huh?!

Onii went on a date with another woman!

Even though he's engaged to you!

You're okay with this?!

I mean, I don't plan to actually marry him.

Besides, Nagi-kun seems to like Hiro-chan.

And that's helping him study hard, too.

Still, he's engaged. It's indecent.

Indecent?!

Yeah, indecent.

Also

You're upset because it's like

she took your brother from you.

Damn it, this is pissing me off!

It's pissing me off and ticking me off!

It looks more like you're teed off to me.

I'm leaving!

Leaving where?

Let's go again!

Let's go again!

Let's go again!

Meguro Batting Center

What is this place?!

The batting center.

I come here when I get in

fights at home and stuff.

Wow!

I never knew we had something

like this in our neighborhood.

You sure are one of the rich kids if

you've never heard of a batting center.

Don't come in. It's dangerous.

Onii

You dumbass!

You suck!

Pervert!

Enemy of humanity!

I'm going to make you pay!

I have arrived.

I'm here to win the game for us.

Erika-chan?!

You look cute, but what is that?

Are you cosplaying as a pro baseball player?

Nope.

I'm a major leaguer.

So that's where you're going with this.

Batter up!

You should start with slower

pitches if this is your first time.

I got this.

Hey! Come on!

We got wrecked.

Why are you here?

Bath House

So this is a bath house!

I've never been to one before!

I wash off the sweat from

the batting center here.

That usually clears my mind.

You have to get in the lukewarm

water first so your body can adjust.

Hot Tub

Currently

degrees

Uh

Caution

Erika-chan?!

What the hell?! This is way too hot!

This bath house is messed up!

Cold water

degrees

Quiet in the bath house!

I'm in heaven.

This'll definitely make you

forget all about Nagi-kun.

Oh, right.

I came here to cool my head, but you're

so funny that I forgot all about that.

What's that supposed to mean?!

I had no idea, though.

You have a whole world of your own, huh?

It's just a commoner's way of de-stressing.

You know, I was thinking

It might be a miracle that

I'm here with you right now.

A miracle?

Well, if I hadn't found out that

Nagi-kun and I were swapped at birth,

we wouldn't have found

out that we're sisters.

We lived our lives all that time

not even knowing that we're family.

Yeah, you're right.

Then again, the family we have right

now might suddenly be gone one day.

That's true.

So I want you to value the

time we have together.

Gerorin

Okay. I've made up my mind.

All right, Umino-kun.

See you at school.

Yeah.

You're cute, Umino-kun.

Cute?

Why not "hot"?!

She doesn't see me as a guy, does she?!

I know I was pathetic, but come on!

Today's date was a total loss.

What the hell?!

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Th-Thanks.

What?

Um

What is this chunk of meat,

chock full of anger and hatred?

It's a Hamburg steak. Eat it.

Is it poisoned or something?

Just eat it.

You're hungry, aren't you?

No, I

Just eat!

It tastes good, but

Say, Onii

You had a date today, didn't you?

How did you know?!

How'd it go?

Wh-Why do you care?

Looks like it was a disaster.

As if you'd know!

Well, you're being shifty-eyed.

I am not!

Your outfit's a disaster

right from the start.

So it is weird?!

Really weird.

How?!

Tell me specifically!

Mom,

Want to go to the bath house

together sometime?

It's obviously weird!

But how?!

Who the heck is it?

It's three in the morning.

I'm scared.

You answer it, Nagi-kun.

'Sup?

Morning.

Dad?!

Why?

Y'all

We're going fishing!

Fishing?!

All right, let's see who

can land the biggest catch!

Bring it on!

Erika-chan, I'm pretty sure that's

an industrial fisherman's outfit.

I've never gone fishing before.

Do you do this often?

No, this is my first time, too.

Dad goes fishing a lot because it's his

hobby, but he only brings Onii along.

I can't wait!

I'm not interested in fishing, after all.

Really?

So where's Nagi-kun?

Huh?

Found him.

Really? You're seasick?!

Don't mind me.

This is what always happens.

This always happens?

I can't believe you'd go

fishing when you get seasick.

Although I blame Dad for inviting you, too.

No kidding.

I wish he wouldn't drag me into this.

But it's no fun fishing by myself.

So why did you bring Sachi

and Amano-san along, then?

Because Sachi left home!

So you're just lonely.

Besides, as Erika-chan's father, I wanted

to get to know her better, y'know?

He's not listening.

Wait, Dad Yohei! I got a huge one!

Take a picture!

Good going, Erika!

That's my daughter!

You're just like Namie-chan

when she was younger.

Really? That's awesome!

They're already hitting it off.

I gotta keep up.

I'll pass.

Are you sure, Nagi?

How about the winner gets 1,000 yen today?!

I so want that!

You sure you aren't missing a zero?

Also, why do you even need

that money, Amano-san?

What?

But 1,000 yen notes are so rare.

Beware loaded girls.

If I had a 1,000 yen, I could buy a

Sobassyi ticket and how many ice creams?

One, two

Whatever, suit yourselves.

I'm not feeling well today. Goodnight.

What's the matter, Nagi?

Don't you want the 1,000 yen?

Well, yeah, I do, but

I'm not used to living at my new place.

And I'm especially exhausted

since Sachi tumbled in.

Then there's the studying

It's all left me sleep-deprived.

You're still as hopeless as you've ever been.

"Still"?

Then couldn't you have had some sympathy for

the guy getting dragged onto a fishing boat?

Dad, I got one, too!

That's a sea bass.

That's amazing, Sachi-chan!

Now that I think about it,

the first time I went fishing

What's wrong, Nagi? Seasick?

Sheesh, I wonder who you got it from.

Here, try using this as bait.

You'll feel better.

I'm never going fishing again.

That's not an option.

Not until you catch something

bigger than I do.

Nagi, we're going fishing!

Nagi! Get ready!

The Kuroshio currents beckon to me.

Nagi-kun's had an awakening!

I'm never going fishing again.

I'm ending this today!

Aw, that's so cute.

That's a ricefish, right?

There are no ricefish in seawater.

That's a mini mackerel.

Mini?!

Release.

And so, the winner today is

Me!

This sucks!

You're playing against beginners!

Good thing, too,

because I'm jobless right now.

Although you scared me with how

well you were doing, Erika-chan.

I was so close!

I didn't get a big one today, either.

I hate fishing.

Don't say that.

Wasn't it a nice change of pace?

Look, look.

I caught Onii.

Seven of him. Seven!

I have to share some with Erika-chan.

You've changed in the short

time you've been gone.

You've grown, haven't you?

Of course not.

It's only been a month.

Yeah?

I don't hate my life right now, you know.

Glad to hear it.

Why do you always force me to come fishing

whenever I have something on my mind?!

Don't you forget about your

problems while you're fishing?

Let's do this again, Nagi.

Yeah.

I'm sorry Yohei-kun caused

you so much trouble.

No, it was really fun.

Although it surprised me when he

showed up in the middle of the night.

Exactly.

He snuck out while I was asleep.

It was exciting, though.

Dad, what are you doing?!

It got me thinking about how

I might have turned out

if I'd grown up with this family.
