01x10 - Class Trip (Part 1)

[bunniefuu]

Tani-kun!

Good morning.

FROZE…

Don't we have a long homeroom today?

I wonder
if it's about the graduation trip.

I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah.

She's as normal as always.

Well, that's normal.

GRADUATION TRIP GOAL: BROADEN HORIZONS
GROUP ACTIVITIES - DAY 1: KYOTO

Okay, let's proceed roughly
according to this plan.

You're also free to choose
where you'll go as a group.

So let's all think about it
individually first.

We'll decide on the groups
and room assignments later.

The Graduation Trip Arc begins!

GRADUATION TRIP HANDBOOK

Sorry, this
is supposed to be the class officers' job.

It's better if we all do it together.

I want to play with the big stapler.

That's so random!

PREFECTURAL KONEKO HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATION TRIP HANDBOOK

WORKING DILIGENTLY…

SACRIFICIAL PIECE

Sorry, Nishi,
for making you help with this.

It's fine.

I actually quite like
this kind of repetitive work.

You're so thoughtful.

Seriously,
what's with this "club activities" excuse?

As if it's a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Are club activities really that great?

If you can't do it, don't be an officer.

Is it for your conduct grade?

I hate people
who act all smooth on the surface.

While they're enjoying
their glamorous lives,

they probably never even think
about the pressure it puts on others.

Hon-chan, calm down.

-I'll show you the funny video
-Then she slowly turned

-I saw yesterday.
-and said this.

It's you!

HEHE…

I don't get it.

Nishi, any good news lately?

Huh? What about the video?

I was wondering

if there's been any progress with Yamada
since you said you didn't understand

your feelings.

SURPRISED

Uh, about that…

I think…

Are you two doing that alone?

-Yamada!
-What? Why are you yelling?

STARTLED

DAY 1 - DAY 2

It must be tough for just two of you.

We have about eight people working on it.

Isn't that too many people?

-So I have nothing to do right now.
-That's funny.

Then come help us.

Leave it to me!

First, fold the paper over there.

Got it!

For the groups,

which do you think is better,
drawing lots or choosing freely?

Of course, choosing freely is better.

Many people must think that way.

Given the group size,

we might end up with some awkward groups.

What do you think, Tani-kun?

Yeah…

What do you mean by "yeah"?

You weren't even listening, were you?

What's with this atmosphere?

Are they fighting?

For your class,

how far along are you
with the graduation trip plans,

aside from the group activities?

Um… we've only decided on the groups.

Next, we'll each decide
where we want to go.

That's faster than our class.

Really?

Nishi is more talkative than before.

The vibe's pretty good.

That's good, Nishi.

Just pretend I'm invisible now.

Gapacho's class is already
talking about group activities.

That's so fast.

Hon-chan, help me!

Don't go into
that "I don't know anything" mode.

Even though I try my best
to keep the conversation going,

I can hear my heartbeat in my ears.
I'm going crazy.

Even though I'm happy,

I wish this time would pass quickly.

It's done!

You two are so fast, it's scary.

I'll take these to the teachers' room.

QUIETLY…

I'll help you carry them.

No, you can sit there forever.

Don't stop me
from getting up from this chair!

Hon-chan!

I've got to find a topic.

-The brass band is practicing hard.
-The sun is setting earlier.

-Yeah.
-Yes!

Hey.

For the group activities
during the graduation trip,

if your group decides where to go,
tell me in secret.

Why?

Why are you asking that?

No.

No, no.

Be more straightforward.

I understand.

That's so polite.

Huh? Where's Yamada?

He went home with his classmates.

Oh my, I'm sorry.

If you didn't have to wait for me,
you could've gone home with him.

No, I'm already overloaded.

Oh, you shrank.

So you're sure now.

Yes…

Yamada, where have you been?

I went to help the class next door.

I feel like I'm the only one
thinking about it today.

How lame.

Don't they say

that more couples get together
before a graduation trip?

Is that so?

Maybe it's because there's free time
for that kind of thing.

Watch how you say it.

What are you two going to do
during your free time?

What should we do?

AWKWARD

What?

Do you still act like this
in front of Tani-kun?

What? Like what?

Acting weird.

Act--

It's just that today
is that kind of day, you know.

What kind of day?

I'm usually smarter than that!

Even Tani-kun is laughing.

Hey!

Sorry.

Suzuki-san, I want to spend
my free time with you.

So sudden!

Well said, Tani!

Okay.

That's great!

Go ahead, go ahead.

Suzuki and Tani are acting strange today.

Are they?

If they didn't say anything,
let's leave them alone.

You're right.

Are we going home together like this?

I'm going to the convenience store.

See you.

That's good. What should I get?

Azuma.

Sup, good morning.

Kawasaki, good morning.

For the graduation trip's
group activities,

have you decided where to go?

No, we haven't even formed groups yet.

That's so slow.

We decided on a lot of things a while ago.

I'm already exhausted.

The whole class had this strong
"don't ruin things by speaking up" vibe.

No one dared to offer an opinion.

GRADUATION TRIP - GROUPING

Then, shall we draw lots to form groups?

Alright, let's draw lots.

Is there anywhere you want to go?

No.

No, anywhere is fine.

Come on, please give your opinions more!

You say that, but then you'll complain
that I decided everything myself.

Choices, decisions, opinions!
Don't you dare slack off!

THROUGH GRITTED TEETH

Calm down… Calm down…

Thank you for your hard work.

For the groups,

which do you think is better,
drawing lots or choosing freely?

Of course, choosing freely is better.

Honestly, I think drawing lots is better.

For the graduation trip,
since the pace isn't good,

I want to settle it quickly.

I knew it! No wonder it felt like
our class was especially slow.

First, boys and girls
will form groups of two or three.

Then, the boys' groups and girls' groups

will combine to form
groups of five or six.

That's so random.

Oh, two or three…

OFTEN HANG OUT TOGETHER

THE GROUP THAT HANGS OUT
WHENEVER SUZUKI'S AROUND

THE USUAL CROWD

What should I do?

Is there anyone left over?

I'LL GO TO ANOTHER GROUP.

GOT IT.

Did she understand me?

Can't we make it four people, teacher?

No, no.

-Yes, you can.
-That was easy!

Just discuss it amongst yourselves
and sort it out.

ANYTHING'S FINE
AS LONG AS A DECISION IS MADE

In the end…

Yay!

RELIEVED…

I actually already bought

a travel magazine.

Good job!

I'm glad it didn't turn into a situation

where she had to be considerate of me.

HMM?

No…

Is it okay to spend every day
worrying about such trivial things?

After starting high school,
cliques are kind of there, kind of not.

To make sure I could fit in anywhere,

I always kept enough distance
so I wouldn't rely on anyone too much.

Because it's easier to be
with one or two people.

Even so,
isn't my circle of friends too small?

Nice to meet you.
Which middle school are you from?

SPRING OF 1ST YEAR - 1. KAWASAKI

SPRING OF 2ND YEAR - 2. SUZUKI

I'm not shy,

but I'm especially cautious
in strange ways.

I can chat freely with Taira
without holding back.

Don't talk to me so casually.

Why are you suddenly like this?

I was just wondering
why it's so easy to talk to you.

What?

Of course, that's how it is in your eyes.

Because there's no reason to be nervous.

"What if I say this?"

"I want to make a good impression."

Compared to someone you have
to watch your position and distance with,

it's naturally much easier
to be with someone

where messing up isn't a big deal.

Though I don't know
if you'd care about such things.

What?

Does this mean…

It's like I'm looking down on you.

That's how it is, right?

But it's true that…

QUIET - FULL OF TENSION

That makes sense.

I see.

I'm not looking down on you.

Nervous…

About what?

Bye, I have to go to work.

Okay, good luck.

What am I even afraid of?

Azuma.

Are you free on Saturday?

What are you guys talking about?

I'm asking if she wants
to go out on Saturday.

Yes, let's go!

Can you go, Azuma?

I'm interested in him. Can you help me?

Azuma, you know I like him, right?

Help her out. Aren't we friends?

Well, I don't dislike it anyway.

I was being used,

and even though I noticed it,
I still went along with them?

If that's the case…

it doesn't matter now, right?

When it comes down to it,

I think I had fewer of my own ideas
and opinions back then.

Choices, decisions, opinions!
Don't you dare slack off!

Kawasaki, you're absolutely right.

Hey, Azuma.

Hey, good work.

Nabe, Sato,
this isn't the way home for you, right?

We're going shopping now

for various small items
for the graduation trip.

Since we're going the same way,
let's walk together.

I rarely walk this way, so it feels new.

I heard there's a new taiyaki shop
in front of the station.

Let's go together later.

Didn't you just have sweet buns?

Taiyaki goes into a separate stomach!

-No way, I've never heard of that.
-Can I go shopping with you too?

Yay, let's go!

We're going to the drugstore.
Do you have a preference?

We're planning to go to the one
in front of the statue.

If that's the case,

the one by the station's south exit
has a better selection.

I want to buy a facial cleanser
and toner for the trip.

Azuma, do you have any recommendations?

Why don't you put your usual products
into travel bottles?

That makes sense.

Maybe the hotel even provides them.

SOLD IN STORES

Come to think of it,
this is our first chance

to see Azuma without makeup.

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm a little curious too.

It's not like there's no difference,

but it's not that funny,
so don't get your hopes up too much.

What do you mean?

The three of them went to eat taiyaki!

-That's nice!
-Go back!

ODEN

Graduation trip!

Graduation Trip Day 1:

Experiential Learning.

Alright, everyone, gather
according to your activity groups.

I'd rather do wagashi making
than pottery.

It's better if you get
to keep something, right?

This is the wagashi experience
we won in rock-paper-scissors!

We'll eat our fallen comrades' share too!

Don't just k*ll us off!

You can only eat the ones you made.

Nishi-san.

WAGASHI-MAKING VENUE

Suzuki-san.

That's Yamada's beautiful friend!

That unreal couple
Nishi was talking about!

Can we sit across from you?

Please, have a seat.

Hello. Sorry for joining your table.

Hello.

So cute!

Hurry up and sit down!

She's such an interesting girl.

You do it like this…

The instructor makes it look
so easy, but it's hard.

You're really good at this.

Did you practice in secret?

Of course not.

Then why can you do it?

"What do you mean, why?"

"I'm just following the example."

So that's his type of character. I see.

-What?
-Sorry, I accidentally said it out loud.

By the way,
where's your class going tomorrow?

If I'm not mistaken…

This is our sightseeing route.

Right, Hon-chan?

There are quite a few overlaps with ours.

Maybe we'll meet somewhere.

That's strange.

How about here?

I want to go there! I agree, I agree!

-That's a good idea.
-I have no objections.

-It's decided then.
-Yay!

That guy…

he deliberately went along with Nishi.

If we meet,
I'd love to take a photo together.

SMIRKS…

Of course!

SHARED ROOM

If Class 1 bathes first,
wouldn't Class 7 be at the very end?

Do you want to play cards while we wait?

A classic game sounds good.

I even brought dominoes.

That's rare.

Suzuki.

Are you dating Tani?

Yes.

You just found out?

Even if you're together openly,

people around you don't realize it.

We were wondering if that was the case.

But when Suzuki's alone with a guy,

you wouldn't think anything of it, right?

Is that so?

Who confessed first?

What triggered it?

Can you two actually talk to each other?

I get that feeling

of wanting to keep asking questions.

This brings back memories.

You're acting like a pro.

How far have you gone?

Hey…

You're pretty bold to ask that.

What were you two doing

when you were called out
at the culture festival?

And…

Does Tani-kun have any desires?

Seriously, the shop's closed!

She went into hiding.

Asking me how far we've gone…

The things that everyone is excited about

haven't happened at all so far.

Class 7, time to bathe!

Come to think of it, so far…

It feels like I'm the one initiating
too often?

STARES…

But he does hold my hand sometimes.

But to be honest,
I want him to be more proactive.

But when Suzuki's alone with a guy,

you wouldn't think anything of it, right?

Is it because I give off too much
of a "not a romantic interest" vibe?

Suzuki.

There you are.

Azu…

What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?

I want to make progress.

Oh my…

How do I put it?

I want that kind of charm.

You're already cute enough.

The kind of cute you're talking about

is probably different
from how I want to be seen.

MUMBLING DIDN'T DENY IT

But there's no point in rushing things.

The process up until then
could be exciting.

Just take it slow.

But…

But I want to kiss soon.

Kiss…

Could I be like you and give off
that "good woman" vibe?

No, if I had to say, I'm the kind of woman
who isn't that important.

NOT MUCH OF A REFERENCE…

It's so bright… Help…

You cleverly brought your own hairdryer.

Azuma's eyebrows look a bit different.

Is there some way

I could see Tani-kun with my soft,
shiny, just-out-of-the-bath hair?

Can't you keep it up until morning?

Only for a few minutes.

Will I run into him at the door?

I want him to see my natural look
after I bathe.

It's clearly a desperate,
fake "no-makeup" look.

Don't look!

No, what do you have
to be embarrassed about?

HURRIEDLY…

You don't have to hide it.

You're making fun of me, aren't you?

Huh? Where's Tani-kun?

I have the key,
so he should still be around.

Hi.

Yamada said you might be here.

BA-DUMP

Don't you think I'm different
from usual right now?

I'm surprised.

A perfect score?

I suddenly got the answer I wanted.

I thought you were a stranger.
You startled me.

No, he got startled.

I was relieved
when I found out it was you.

I see.

By the way,

you've been assigned to a shared room

with loud-looking members.

Are you okay? That's so funny.

Don't laugh.

They're having fun playing cards.

Did you join in?

I didn't know the rules,
so I just watched.

Not bad. That kind of goofy guy vibe.

But the old you would've
turned them all down,

whether it was room assignments
or playing games.

That's not it…

Actually, maybe it is.

-Yep.
-That's true.

A year ago, I couldn't have imagined
fitting in with so many people.

Which one is more fun?

I don't think it's about
which one is better.

Oh my…

Because I didn't have
any complaints before.

But that's what I liked about him
in the first place.

But now…

I have doubts and worries
that I wouldn't have if I was alone.

Because of that,
I was able to notice certain things.

Maybe there are others too.

But I'm glad
I'm not completely ignorant of them.

It's not one or the other? Both are good?

That's why…

I'm glad I met you.

Ta… Tani-kun…

Until just now,
my mind was full of impure thoughts.

I'm so embarrassed!

Yusuke-kun…

I really love you.

-Miyu.
-Okay!

It's time to go back to my room!

Bye! See you tomorrow!

Have fun in your room!

There's no need to rush.

And so, night falls on the first day.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
