01x08 - Earring

[bunniefuu]

I guess I'm dating Senpai now.

Even after everything,

it still seems unreal.

My feet feel like they're floating in air.

You hungry?

Want something before we go?

Uh I'll leave that to you.

Then let's get the roasted corn.

We could get the potatoes

with the butter on top, too.

I wonder if he's talking

about the Jagabutter?

He's certainly used to

this stuff, isn't he

Even though my heart's been

pounding hard this whole time.

I wonder how long you hold hands for?

My palms are sweaty, and I wonder if this

makes it harder for him to walk

Oh! Isn't that the grilled corn?

Let's really take a look

around while we're here!

What do you normally eat

at festivals, Senpai?

I eat baby castellas, candy

apples, choco bananas

Okay. Let's go then.

Oh gosh, it's all the sweet stuff

All right, let's start heading back.

It'll be dangerous if we get separated.

B-But my hands are sweaty.

Like I care about that.

And, I'm still sort of embarrassed to

Then you better get used to it.

I dunno what to do otherwise.

Okay.

We're really "boyfriend"

and "girlfriend," huh

He looked so different

from his usual self.

Yoi! Please clean up your yukata. Yoi?

Someday, we'll be doing that

sort of thing, too, won't we?

Huh?

Now that it's official, how

should I behave at school?

Y'know what? I got a girlfriend.

My honey!

Yoi-chan!

Yoi-chan!

O-Oh, gosh, I can see it now!

Congrats!

Thank you very much.

I figured that's what happened afterwards!

Must be real nice.

Your first boyfriend!

You up on cloud nine?!

Um, are you guys

free at lunch today?

Don't think I've ever heard you

hum a tune before, Ichi.

Hmm? Really?

Sheesh, must be nice to be so carefree.

The festival got super awkward

after you ran off, Ichi.

My b, my b.

It's just that, you see,

I started dating Yoi-chan.

What?

No way!

Way.

For real?! You didn't feed her

a line or anything?!

You didn't drug her, did you?!

Sentaro-kun.

Ow ow ow ow!

Good for you. Congrats.

Kuwa!

Wha? You pulled a wrestling move on me

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

Would you like to have lunch with

me in the old school building?

Um, three of you?

Is that not okay with you?

Well, it's okay if it's

every once in a while

Like once a year.

Yay!

Thanks for having us!

Oh, sh**t!

You guys

Kinda happened on a whim.

Go away, shoo shoo.

Um, since you're here, you're

both welcome to join us.

What?

Seriously, what is this?

Are we having a meeting?

Now that we're officially dating,

I thought it would be good to properly

introduce each other's friends.

Oh, well, I suppose I could think of

it as two families meeting

Oh, you're Tone-san, right?

Huh?

Wasn't the picture you drew in art class

the one they put up by the entrance?

Oh

Seriously? What was the picture?

It was a sculpture-like thing.

Wow, that's amazing! Could you

show me one next time?!

I-I'm not that great, really

She's blushing.

School

Motto

Steady progress towards your goal,

with sober and irreproachable conduct.

Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about

our future relationship plans.

Regarding future

relationship plans.

I thought it would be best for

everyone to be on the same page.

The most important point is

gradually revealing our relationship,

over the course of six months to a year,

to people outside the six who are here.

Then, just to be safe,

when walking home together, we should let

the other person know in advance

and walk three meters apart.

When walking side by side,

be sure to do it at least two

kilometers away from the school.

Regarding dates and other things

Hold up. Stop, stop.

Um, we are dating, right?

Yes.

Then why do we have to hide it?

Because a lot of people

look up to you, Senpai.

And since we're both high school students,

-As a basic rule, plans should be discussed and

decided more than a week in advance.

-Avoid areas where the school staff can see us

together.

-Be mindful to behave appropriately and maintain

proper manners as a high school student.

(Avoid excessive physical contact.)

it's important to maintain a reasonable

distance and remain modest.

Yoi-chan is such a good girl.

Oh, something must have happened.

Did you do something to her?

Okay, okay, I'll read it later.

Hey! Not later, please read it now!

Besides, I have class duties today

so I can't walk home with you.

Okay.

Please answer properly.

Yesh, ma'am.

They're flirting.

Enunciate!

Yes, ma'am.

More properly!

Jeez, am I really the only

one thinking about the future?

Oh? Hey, what are the chances?

Huh? What are you doing?

What do you mean? I was waiting for you.

No way

Yep, sorry, I was kidding.

I was actually called to

the office for detention.

But since I'm here, do you

wanna walk home together?

Huh? You in a bad mood?

Uh, hey

How long do we have to

Until we're more than two

kilometers away from the school.

Oh, yeah? Roger that.

Oh And for a moment,

I was so happy, too.

And now it's "since I'm here."

Wait, wasn't I the one who

decided how things should be?

Regarding future

relationship plans.

Am I contradicting myself?

You mentioned detention.

Did you do something again?

Oh, yeah this and that?

What do you mean "this and that?"

Well, it's like that thing, y'know?

What is "that thing"?

More like

I was lying about that.

What? Why would you

'Cause I wanted to be

alone with you, of course.

I'll have you know

I'm already super infatuated with you.

I want you to be completely

infatuated with me!

Y'know Don't make me say it, all right?

I see. Even just now, he

I see.

I see.

Senpai!

Whoa!

What's goin' on?

Um, about the plan

What do you say we reconsider it?

Y'know, Yoi-chan

Just when I'm trying my best to be good,

you seriously go off and pull

stuff like that on me, don't you?

Huh? What do you mean? Pull what stuff?

Nah, it's all good now.

But seriously, please get used to

it as quickly as you can, okay?

There's no way people's feelings

go as planned, and yet

I said I'll reconsider it, but I don't

know if I'll change anything yet.

Yep, yep.

Hey, what are ya gonna do about the

"two kilometers away from school" rule?

That's something that

needs to be considered.

Oh, can I buy ice cream

at the convenience store?

It's almost time for my first

summer break with a boyfriend.

Sure.

Oh, man.

I'm excited about summer break,

but the closing ceremony is

such a pain, don't ya think?

Calling everyone into the

gym in this heat is just ridiculous.

Right? At least put on the air

conditioner or something.

I know, right?

He's so cool!

Just as always.

Oh! Is that Ichimura-senpai?

Oh, you're right!

Oh! Yoi-chan, it's the Prince!

I know.

Kya!

He just waved at me, didn't he?!

There go the meaningless

arguments again

To me, right?!

Well, that one packed quite a punch

No! He was waving at me!

I see. So this is what a

sense of superiority feels like.

Something similar happened before.

I'm surprised at how my

feelings have changed.

Nasu Oyaji Curry

Yoi! You can clock out soon!

Oh, okay!

You have a new message.

Let me know when you're done with work.

Yo.

Thank you for waiting.

Sorry for asking right

after work. Here you go.

You don't always have

to give me something

Don't worry about it. Something

for making it to summer break.

Oh.

Mr. Papico Distributor.

It's good.

Do you have any plans for summer break?

Huh?

Well, y'know, vacation

with family and what not.

Oh, I mostly work.

I was also asked to tutor

my neighbor's child.

Wow, I can totally see that.

Do you have plans, Senpai?

Hmm? Oh, nothing in particular.

But I thought we could hang out together.

What?

Well, I am your boyfriend.

That's right

Right

But I kind of feel bad for asking

you to go out of your way.

I've been wondering. Why do you

have such low self-esteem?

Huh? Do I?

I thought it was normal.

It's super low.

It's not normal to say stuff like that.

You don't?

So, when are you free?

Let's see

Monday through Friday I have work,

and I'll tutor on the weekends.

After my radio exercises,

I do have two hours.

Two hours? No way.

How about in the morn—

Mornings are reserved

for my studies.

Two hours.

Oh? I might have these two days off?

Yoi-san.

San?

Please give me both of those days.

Sure, but was there something

you wanted to do?

Maybe something I want to do,

maybe somewhere I want to go

How about a short trip to Kobe?

K-Kobe?!

Yes, Kobe.

B-But isn't it a bit far

to go for a day trip?

It's all right. We have a villa in Kobe.

I forgot this guy is rich.

You do mean a day trip, right?

Well, y'know.

It is summer break.

Denied.

We'd be in separate rooms, though?

That's not the problem!

Wha? But Kobe has a lot of delicious

Western confectionery stores

There's cheesecake, Baumkuchen,

stuff with cream on top,

stuff with cream inside,

cheesecake and more!

I-I'll go, if I can bring my friends.

Wh-What is it now?

Nah, my bad, my bad.

Man, that was good.

Your determination wavers when

sweets are involved.

Okay. Then let's have fun

in Kobe as a group.

Oh, he's okay with it.

Well, it's getting late,

so I'll take you home.

Shark Park

Oh. I'm fine on my own.

No can do.

It's dangerous for a girl to be alone.

All right, let's go.

He's treating me

more and more like a girl

Yoi-chan. Hold still

Hmm?

There's a huge bug on your shoulder.

Hello.

Bye-bye.

Senpai

Hmm?

You're okay with bugs?

I'm not good with them,

but I can touch them.

Y-You're so cool.

Huh?! What?

After everything, that's

what makes you think I'm cool?

I just can't deal with bugs at all

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean—

There's nothing wrong

being this close, y'know?

Let's stay like this for a while.

Wh-What are you saying?

We're in public!

It's fine, it's fine.

No one can see us in the dark.

No good?

You don't want to?

Maybe just for five minutes.

Oh, Senpai's smell

Until recently, I never thought

I'd be holding him like this.

Oh, shi—

No, that's not what I

It was just on impulse.

Sorry, it wasn't intentional.

D-Dash

D-Dash

Ah, hey, Yoi-chan?!

Yoi-san! Yoi-sama!

Kobe?! I'll go, I'll go, I want to go!

But are you sure it's

okay for us to go, too?!

More like, I'd be bothered

if you didn't come.

Sorry for the short notice.

But still!

Even if you did have to bring us,

you didn't turn him down, Yoi-chan!

Well, it is summer break, after all

Yippee!

That's good. That's good!

That's right!!

Let's go to Kobe and dress you up all

cute so Senpai's heart skips a beat!

But I don't really care what clothes—

Okay, let's go, let's go!

They look a bit like Senpai's.

I wonder if he'll think it's cute?

I'm sorry I'm late!

The train had a delay.

I'm very sorry, Oji-kun.

Oh, no worries.

We're not that busy, so it's all right.

Oh? Did you get your ears pierced?

Huh?! Oh

I forgot to take them off!

They're clip-ons. I just bought them.

They kind of look similar to the

ones that regular wears.

Y-You think so?!

It's a common design, and so

Oh, I see.

I'll just put them in my pocket for now.

Well, I kinda wondered if the

two of you were dating or something.

Oh! I didn't mean anything

Actually

We are.

Yoi!

Ah! Coming!

What is it?

Are yukatas something guys like?

My friend is planning to go to

the summer festival with a guy.

It seems like she's having trouble

deciding whether to wear one that day

Thank you very much.

Then, that was

All

Um! If it's all right with you, would

you like to go out some time?

Huh?

I-It's my younger sister's

birthday In August!

You seem like you'd be good at

picking out presents, Yoi-san.

So if it's possible, I was wondering

I'm not sure if I'd be good

at it, but all right.

I'll think about it.

Yoi!

Coming! Later.

I know that. But

Why did I say that?

Traveling with upperclassmen

is exciting, don't you think?

Y-Yeah.

But I can't help but notice that you're

not wearing the clothes we bought!

You're not wearing the earrings either.

I couldn't fit everything

while I was packing

Jeez, that's just what I'm talking about.

I actually did bring them, but

I'm still sort of

embarrassed to wear them

Hey!

We keep you waiting?

Oh, hey.

Stare.

Stare

Huh?

Wh-What is it?!

I've never seen you

in casual clothes before.

What?

Oh, that's right.

It's a new side of you.

It's always your work clothes

or school uniform.

What?!

Oh, Um

Stop.

You're forbidden from looking any further.

There he goes! Stupid lovebirds!

Shut up, and keep your eyes off.

Let's just go ahead and buy our tickets.

Jeez, can't even let

my guard down for a sec.

Um, that's really enough now.

Hmm? What is?

Shoulder. My shoulder.

Aw, I figured we could stay like this

Yeah, just kiddin'!

Oh man

Who can't let their guard down for a sec?

Oh, forgot one more thing.

You look real cute.

Hey, wait a sec on choosing seats!

Of course, we're going with reserved seating.

Y-You

Womanizer!

Yoi on trip
