01x23 - What should we do now?

Post by bunniefuu »

It's the beach!

Why did you tell Segawa-san

that we're living together?

So she would help me study.

Do it again, and I'll put a curse on you.

What kind of sister is

Sachi-san to you, Umino-kun?

What kind?

It's just that she seems

to be in love with you.

She obviously just sees you as a rival.

Is there even anything about you

that a girl would like?

Since you say you're not interested

Can I have Umino-kun?

I remember now.

That's definitely it.

I was here with Onii-chan.

That was fun.

Our ride should be here soon.

Already?

That trip went by so fast.

So how'd the search for your brother go?

Well

We asked around this morning, too

He looks like this guy.

Haven't seen him.

But no one knew anything.

At the very least, we know

he was here three days ago.

Which means he's in Japan, right?

I really thought he was overseas.

Yeah.

I'm glad I have you, though, Nagi-kun.

I'm ready to keep looking.

Yup.

There's our car.

You're in charge of the luggage, Onii.

Fine, fine.

Man, I'm so sleepy.

Just a second.

Umino-kun and I are going

to take the train home.

What?

What's this about?

Sorry, there's somewhere

we want to check out.

Wh-What she said.

O-Okay.

Maoka Shrine

A shrine?

Yeah. To collect the shrine stamp.

Did you bring yours?

Right. I see.

What was I expecting?

I brought mine, of course.

I didn't think there'd be

a shrine out here, though.

Right?

I stumbled upon it yesterday.

I'll race you to the grounds!

We're doing this again?!

Thank you for guiding us here.

We got here because it was meant to be.

Meant to be?

I'm the heir to a shrine, after all.

Right. You are.

I want to go out with her!

First place or bust!

Wh-What are you wishing for, Segawa-san?

I didn't wish for anything.

I'm just expressing my gratitude

for having made it here.

I'm so filled with desires

Disgraceful!

Worship

Maoka Shrine

It's such a pretty stamp.

Go us, right, Umino-kun?

We got a stamp.

Now that we've completed our goal of

getting the stamp, what do we do next?

Go for lunch?

More stamps?

Well, Umino-kun, wanna go home?

We have plenty of time to catch the train.

It really was just for the stamp.

No way! Really?

She definitely asked if

she could have Umino-kun.

She passed out right after, though.

Does that mean she likes Onii?

I-I think so.

I didn't realize anyone like that even existed.

Man, there's no way.

I'm pretty sure she was half-asleep.

I mean, Hiro-chan's popular at school.

She's way out of his league.

Why would she go after Nagi-kun, right?

Exactly, right?

There's no way she's in love with that

gloomy, inconsiderate, nerdy loner.

Onii's content just studying

for the rest of his life.

Highway Conditions

Heavy Rain / Wind

Warning in Effect

Keep Out

Sanpa Station

The station's closed

Wh-What the heck?! It's still the afternoon!

Umino-kun.

Trains are currently canceled

due to heavy winds.

Resumption time is currently unknown.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

What do we do now?

D

"Do"?! There's nothing we can do!

I'm just kidding.

Let me take care of this.

Ahem

Th-That was close.

I was about to embarrass myself

freaking out and giving up.

Let's stay calm and look for a train first.

You should definitely calm down.

This is tough.

There are no buses that go to Tokyo.

And a taxi would cost too much.

You can't be serious.

It's going to be a while, isn't it?

Yeah

Think

Think!

We can't stay here forever.

Our clothes are wet, too.

What if Segawa-san catches a cold?

Umino-kun

What should we do now?

Oh, no!

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

Oh, no, Erika-onee!

Look at this!

Thank goodness.

That was scary for a moment, huh?

We can't exactly camp out in the rain.

True.

Good thing we caught a break.

Yeah.

I never thought I'd end up spending

a night out with Segawa-san.

I want to grow up already!

No, no!

That's not what she meant!

Umino-kun

Yes, ma'am.

I'll take care of it.

I'm borrowing some money for

living expenses later, Hotel King!

What a relaxing room, huh?

Yeah.

A single Japanese-style room?

This room is

The tatami smells nice.

where I'm spending the

night with Segawa-san?!

Such a young couple.

Are you newlyweds?

Huh?!

We are.

We came to celebrate our marriage,

but it started raining really hard.

N-Newlyweds?!

Oh, to be young!

Well, enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

We made it through that, somehow.

My nerves

Sorry, though.

You're engaged to Erika-chan,

and I pretended we're married.

That's true

I can't believe an honor student

like you would lie so much.

You're actually a real crook.

You're an accomplice, then, Umino-kun.

I-Is that so?!

Tentative first-place crook.

Did you have to go that far?

I'm freezing. Wanna go to the baths?

Yes!

Women

That was fast, Umino-kun.

Out already?

You're the fast one.

I think I won by a hair.

That was a race?

We gotta hang up our wet clothes

when we get back to our room.

Segawa-san in a yukata

Awesome!

Huh?

Did the inn set this up on purpose?!

We only get one futon, huh?

Y-Yeah, huh

By the way, Segawa-san

I won't go past this line.

So please rest assured.

Huh? Okay

What about when you're sleeping?

I won't sleep.

You don't need to be so considerate.

You didn't sleep much last

night either, did you?

S-Still, though

How did she know?

Besides, the tatami's nice.

I like Japanese-style rooms.

Right. They're the best.

My lack of sleep is catching up to me.

I can't think straight.

How about "lizard"?

A home with a lizard is

a good home, you know.

It's a house of despair if you ask me!

You're so melodramatic.

Better let it out through the window.

You shouldn't touch it!

Sorry.

Deep.

We did a lot of bad things today, huh?

Wanna try doing more bad things?

Seriously, Onii

What does he mean, he's "staying the night"?!

He's obviously with Hiro-san!

It's raining. That's probably why.

Still, though

This isn't right!

Onii should just study

for the rest of his life.

Seigenkan

Hot Spring Inn

Wh-What do you mean by "bad things"?

Umino-kun

Your hand.

My hand?

A th-thousand yen?

Yeah.

H-High schoolers, a sleepover, no parents

You know what that means, right?

L

L?

Liquor.

Huh?

You're a real villain!

I totally thought

Segawa-san's been playing with me!

I-Is that wrong?

Yeah, it is!

What if they get suspicious

of us at the shop?

We're already lying about our age.

We're going to get reported!

I thought you'd play along, Umino-kun.

I will not.

I never thought you'd propose such a thing.

I'm shocked.

You're right.

Am I too bad for you?

You are.

You're smart and athletic and

cute and popular at school.

How could someone like you be drinking?!

It's tiring being a model

student all the time, though.

I wanted to lie to the grown-ups and do

something that'll get me in trouble for once.

What's wrong is wrong, no matter the reason.

You're right

But

I like you when you're bad, too.

I'll stop you if you start

drinking in front of me, though.

Fine, Umino-kun. I get it.

I'll stick with sake, then.

You don't "get" anything!

Police!

Huh? What?

Did I just hear "police"?

It really is!

Don't bother trying to resist.

Open up!

Did the inn report us?

Why?!

But we paid for our stay!

We lied about our age, though.

Expelled?

I heard Segawa-san and Umino-kun

lied about their age and slept out.

I heard they were drinking, too.

Wow, that model student? Seriously?

Wait, why would they get expelled for that?

Their lives are over.

Sorry, Umino-kun

My parents told me to stay away from you.

Wait! Segawa-san!

I'm going to marry the

person I'm engaged to now.

I hope you find happiness with Erika-chan.

Umino-kun?

Let's run!

How?

Through the window!

Get your stuff!

But we're on the second floor.

Police!

You're under arrest!

Amano-san? Sachi?

Apprehend the suspect!

We caught you red-han—

Why are you naked, Nagi-kun?!

Wait Did you two

N-No! I was getting changed in a hurry!

Police!

Onii's conked out.

He looked sleepy all day.

So, Hiro-san

What exactly happened between

you and Onii today, anyway?

You know, stuff.

Stuff?!

You know, though, Umino-kun's

a boy after all.

What's that mean?!
