[bunniefuu]

Let us begin, then.

Start the debate on "The Pressing Issue
of Shinichiro Yamamoto's Virginity."

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3

Here's what today's class is about.

Form groups, pick a topic,
and debate it for twenty minutes.

Topic: "The Pressing Issue of
Shinichiro Yamamoto's Virginity"

This is a very complicated issue.

Do we really have the means to resolve it?

Are you guys messing with me?!

But what if this debate
actually hits upon a solution?

You're a virgin now...

...but you won't be for much longer?!

Gulp.

We have our topic now.

Let's discuss how to resolve it, then.

Yeah, yeah.

Ways for Yamamoto to lose his virginity?

Hmm...

- Solutions: 1] Use financial
might 2] Use physical might

- These two feel like the most likely.

Right.

What happened to "get a girlfriend"?!

Okay, we have these three methods.

Why does the third have
a needless precondition?

Kitahara, I don't know about
presenting crimes as solutions.

True.

This goes against my morals.

You have morals? Since when?

That means we've reached the conclusion
that this issue is impossible to solve.

It is what it is.

We don't see any way out.

You pieces of...

Hold up. We can't give up this easily.

But...

Let me teach an effective
problem-solving method.

When you can't deal with
an unforeseen problem directly,

you can simply alter your approach
to fulfill your original goal.

- Flats!

- For example, if you're going somewhere
and your bike breaks down,

- and you have no way
to repair it on the spot,

- If I don't have a bike,
I'll just run there!

- you can just run the rest of the way.

Interesting. So what you're saying is,

"Is there actually a need for his
first sexual partner to be human?"

You read my mind, my dear Watson.

And it's full of sh*t, Holmes!

Enough of your nonsense!

But listen, Yamamoto.

I truly believe that this is the most
rational and scientific idea.

Huh? How is it in any way rational?

You're studying the sciences.
Surely you know about reading error.

The margin of error that occurs

when reading the smallest scale division
of an analog measuring device?

This margin of error is commonly
estimated at plus-or-minus 10%.

And? What about it?

And they say that human and gorilla
DNA only differs by around 1%.

You want me to do a gorilla?!

Is there really even a need
for him to lose his V-card?

Good question.

The actual purpose of sex
is to produce offspring.

We need to reconsider
if mankind really requires his seed.

You keep talking like
you're better than me...

Surely that means you guys
have experience, right?!

Okay, next topic.

Come up with one, Imamura.

On it.

Unlike you guys,
I actually have a girlfriend.

Do you want it broken
in half or pulverized?

You what?!

You never actually
sealed the deal with her!

Just having a girlfriend
puts me ahead of the pack!

Topic: The Social Issue of Kitahara of All People Having a Girlfriend
Proposed by: Shinichiro Yamamoto

The Social Issue of Kitahara and
Mitarai of All People Having Girlfriends

All right, let us begin.

Yes.

How do we go about fixing this?

The easiest way would be
to get them to break up...

...but letting them live
doesn't sit right.

As the one who came up with
this topic, I have a suggestion.

I'd like this debate
to have one specific goal.

Goal?

So we're playing by rules?

Right. Any conclusion
we reach in this debate

must follow the format,
"After X, we k*ll them."

Very well.

I love it.

If you hadn't suggested it, I would have.

What happened to your morals now?!

Now, here's how I feel...

Hold it.

Hmm?

One other suggestion.

You must raise your hand
and receive permission to speak.

Permission?

Why go that far?

Because this is both a debate and a trial.

You don't say.

It is a life-or-death matter.

You make a fair point.

They're not letting go of k*lling us?

Talk about a witch trial.

Your Honor.

Nojima.

- May I k*ll them once I finish speaking?

- Cement

- Very well.

- Cement

- Come on!

- Do our lives have no value?!

- I don't care what happens to him!
Please just spare me!

- No, spare me!

Pathetic.

Neither of them deserves to live.

I told you to receive permission to speak.

Your Honor.

I'll allow anything
other than cries for mercy.

Thank you, sir!

You've been singling us out
all this while,

but do you truly believe
we're the only traitors here?

Damn you, Kitahara!
What a terrifying thing to say!

Yes, it makes no sense for a guy
like me to be single!

I should have a girlfriend,
as a matter of fact!

The suspicion could easily fall on me...

They're clean. No doubt about it.

Have some doubt!

Imamura, then!

I mean, he's got the looks!

Think again, you sewer rat.

My girlfriend is in another dimension!

Not guilty.

Curses.

Why do I feel so defeated?

Okay, we're running out of time.

Let's start with Mitarai,
who we know made an attempt.

Don't!

Next up, Kitahara.

Hold it one second!

I haven't done a thing!

If anything, I have the same issue
you do, Yamamoto!

Oho?

- Can we do this, then?

- The Pressing Issue of
Shinichiro Yamamoto Iori Kitahara's Virginity

- Absolutely!

So don't execute me!

Okay, time's up. Please present your
latest debate's findings to the class.

Huh?

The Pressing Issue of
Shinichiro Yamamoto Iori Kitahara's Virginity

Sorry, let me fix up the topic real quick.

Please present your latest
debate's findings to the class.

On that note,

we discussed Iori Kitahara being
a virgin and reached the conclusion...

Those two haven't done it yet?

Kotegawa-san didn't let him
get in her pants, huh?

I'm glad she hasn't been defiled.

That moron!

He's gonna pay for this!

The Pressing Issue of Iori Kitahara's Virginity
Excellent

I don't remember a word he said to me.

What? Absolutely nothing?

Yep, nothing.

Us third-years gotta retire
from club soon.

This is the last summer
we'll be spending together...

Hey, guys?

Hmm?

Is there anything you wanted to do
this summer but haven't been able to?

Something I haven't checked off my list?

I mean, sure, there are a few...

But where's this coming from?

Let's do it all, then! It's our only
chance to live out this year's summer!

Iori...

- Summer checklist: I wanna see everyone in yukatas for real.
I want to make takoyaki. I want to have a memorable boozer.

- Interesting.

- So we're wearing yukatas, making
takoyaki, and having a drinking party.

- I guess those are typical
summer activities.

Okay, let's go put on yukatas and regroup.

You okay with that, Nanaka?

Sure, count me in.

What do we need?
Octopus and takoyaki flour?

Not much of a shopping list, no?

What else? Cheese, sausages, shrimp?

Nice.

We could get kimchi and mentaiko, too.

I'm starting to drool already.

And we could finish up with some
pancake mix and chocolate.

I don't know about getting
sweet stuff with this group.

I'd like that, though.

How about avocado?

Won't it separate the fat?

Oh, true.

Hey, I said I'd like that.

What's up, Kohei?

Nah, it's nothing.

Okay, let's wrap up this
summer break with a bang!

Cheers!

Beer goes really well with takoyaki!

What a collab between hot and cold!

Here you go. These have Kyoto-style dashi.

And these are
Kindako-style fried takoyaki.

Good work. Bring me more.

The heck?

One moment, guys.

What's with the camera?

I borrowed Chisa's, to make this
a boozer that lives on in memory.

Did you forget today's theme?

We asked you what you wanted
to cross off the list.

Oh, that?

This is off-base, then.

Right?

Huh? I mean, I guess this is flash
memory, not actual memory.

No, no.

That's not what we mean.

What do you mean, then?

Summer checklist: I wanna see everyone in yukatas for real.
I want to make takoyaki. I want to have a memorable boozer.

Hey, there's something on the edge...

And do it all Peek-A-Boo style
Top Priority!!

We're checking
everything off the list, right?

Such kind and thoughtful juniors we have.

What's with that last bit?!

It's like some scam contract!

Thank you, Chi-chan.

All right, here we go!

Start the PaB-style Summer Party!

Yeah!

No!

So, about my request.

I know what you wrote.

You wanted to see us in yukatas?

- Wrong.

- Yukata History

- I wrote that I wanted to
see you in yukatas "for real."

- Wha?

Yukatas were originally post-bath sleeping wear.
They did not require underwear. Important!!

Uh, Azusa-san?

Are you saying...

Yep, that's what I'm saying.

All of you take off your undies.

Knew it!

Oh, is that what you were going for?

Nanaka-san?

Time to get changed, Chisa-chan.

Onee-chan?!

- I mean, I don't mind taking them off.

- Wait, Onee-chan!

Honestly, I'd love to.

Yeah, fair.

Also, Iori.

Yes?

You're wearing a jimbei,
not a yukata, right?

Oh, maybe so.

Then you're taking that off, too.

Oh...

Feels airy, huh, Chisa-chan?

Will this do?

I mean, I guess.

You just borrowed a sash, Iori?

If he was buck-naked,
that'd be same old, same old.

This is more embarrassing than naked!

Normally, I'd say the ladies
need to take off their panties, too.

Settle for just the bra, please!

You're so cute, Chi-chan.

Wait, does that mean
Azusa-san isn't wearing any either?

Hmm? Oho?

Wait, this girl...

Did she have nothing on
during the shopping trip?!

Let's check if you really
took it off, Nanaka.

- I want to make takoyaki

- Next up is takoyaki...

How do we do that PaB-style?

Don't overthink it.

Just make them using
the ingredients we have on hand.

Ingredients

Sus! That water is sus!

That's what you meant
by PaB-style?!

Time to start cooking.

Better get to it,
or the water will run out.

Iori...

...and Kohei's...

PaB-Style Cooking!

We're keeping it simple today
and making PaB-style takoyaki.

My, how lovely!

It's very easy!
Just mix these listed ingredients!

Like this?

Chef, the vaporized alcohol
is making me cry.

Just imagine you're cutting
onions and deal with it.

Next, pour the batter
into the takoyaki maker.

Chef, the alcohol batter's
breaking down. It can't be poured.

The key is to move quickly
so this doesn't happen.

Also, this batter burns
easily, so be careful.

Any sparks, and the whole thing
will go up in flames.

Here's the finished dish!

Oh, wow!

I don't wanna eat this to save my life.

It's all flaky due to the lack of water.

Eh, it's not a big deal.

Of course the alcohol would
evaporate with some heat.

Try it out.

It might actually be pretty good.

Do you want one, Chi-chan?

Hey, takoyaki?

What do you have against me?

It's not what you think.

This was just an accident.

So it did taste awful.

They won't go anywhere
if nobody eats them, though.

I mean, true...

Chisa?!

You're going for it?!

Say aah.

This b*tch!

Stop your jokes, Chisa.

Let me have this moment.

Well, I very much don't
appreciate the thought.

But I am your girlfriend, if just in name.

I have to do girlfriend-like things.

I wish you'd feel that way any other time.

So come on, say aah.

Don't, I mean it.

Why'd you take a pic of that?

To blackmail you if I ever need to.

Think how much it'd suck for me
to get beaten up over that!

You eat it!

No, you!

Say aah, Iori.

Say aah, man!

I swear, you guys...

- We keep telling you, "no fighting".

- Before it cools down.

But this guy...

But Iori...

But Chisa and Kohei...

Okay, you know what this means.

Settle it with a game, as always.

Line Lottery // Downing Beers Challenge
Takoyaki Speed-Eating // Water Speed-Drinking

They're all alcohol!

- Takoyaki Speed-Eating

- But man...

Who'd've thought they'd
look out for us like that?

So they can be cute at times.

I think they're cute all the time.

- [Done] [Done] [Done]

- I guess we've checked everything
off the list for this summer.

- Yeah.

I can focus on my job hunt now.

Yep, same.

We've got drafts and theses.

And post-grad entrances.

That was a fun boozer
that'll live on in memory.

Though, that's only if...

they even have any memory of this boozer.

You said it.

Morning, Iori-kun.

Good morning, Nanaka-san.

That was one heck of a boozer yesterday.

Will you be okay?

I'll live.

Oh, right.

I already told Chisa-chan this,
but Dolphin called.

Dolphin, like, the diving shop?

Yep.

They opened up a new branch in Palau,

but they're short-staffed
and need reinforcements.

Palau? I'd love to go!

Great. Can you go for
two weeks starting next week?

Yeah! Chisa and I were just talking
about going diving overseas!

Great. Do you think
Kohei-kun will be up for it too?

If it's a part-time gig...

Go overseas? Not a chance.

I won't get to watch my anime live on TV!

I'll talk to him for you.

Yeah? I'll leave you to it.

I'll text you the details later.

Sure. Take care.

Hey.

'Sup.

That was one heck of a boozer yesterday.

Yeah. Will you be okay?

I'll live.

By the way, Kohei.

What's up?

Nanaka-san said Dolphin's new branch
is short-staffed and needs help.

Want to do a part-time gig
for two weeks starting next week?

That's sudden. And two whole weeks?

You need money to get your
advanced license, don't you?

I mean, yeah.

You'll get to learn more about diving,

and they might sell you
some gear on the cheap!

That does sound like
a good deal, actually.

Can I lock you in for the gig, then?

Sure, I guess.

But I will not do late-night shifts.

This summer anime season is peak.

I make it a point to watch
my favorite shows live on TV.

- I asked Kohei, and he said
he's down for it too!

- That's up to you.

Also, Kohei, where'd you go
for your high school trip?

Australia. Why do you want to know?

Oh, great.

What's with the big smile?

Nothing, really.

So, when and where
do I show up for this gig?

Narita Airport at 9 AM next Monday.

Narita at 9 AM? Got it.

Hold up.

Is there a problem?

You just mean the new branch
is in Narita Airport, right?

Of course!

But don't forget to bring your passport.

So it's overseas, you sh*t?!

- Nanaka Kotegawa

- Sorry, but I already sent a message
saying you were in.

Wha? But I need to prepare...

Relax. They'll provide us
with rooms, meals, and gear.

And we just confirmed
that you got your passport.

Reee!

So, yeah, DVR your anime!
Let's go have fun!

No! Not my live TV experience!

Kitahara Ryokan

Nii-sama?

Hello? This is the Kitahara residence.

Oh, Shiori?

What's the matter, Nii-sama?

It's nothing special, really.

Did you call to remind them
to send you money?

I actually haven't received anything this
month for some reason, but it's not that.

So...

You want to come home?

I need a favor.

Send me my passport on the double.

Your passport? Why would you need that?

One thing led to another,

and now I'll be spending the rest
of my summer break overseas.

Tch. Wha?

Dunno why, but she
staunchly refused to send it.

Oh, dear.

That's what you get for not going home
for your first summer break.

You'll have to go get it yourself, then.

I know that, but I don't like it.

Is there a problem?

Let me tell you about it.

I feel a nasty aura real close by.
