01x07 - You on the Night of the Festival

[bunniefuu]

Oh?

Is Sentaro late again?

Looks like.

Window shopping?

Might as well.

Huh?

Oh yeah, the summer festival is tomorrow.

What time you goin'?

You guys meeting up somewhere?

Beats me.

What?

Dunno.

Didn't get in touch with her.

What? What do you mean?

Did something happen?

Not really

It's just that I kinda have this feeling

that we're not gonna be dating.

S-Seriously?

Hey!

My bad, my bad. Did I keep ya waiting?

And Huh? What's wrong?

Nothing really. I was just telling Kuwa

I might not go to the festival tomorrow.

What?! But you said you were

goin' with the Prince

Sentaro!

Oh

I'll treat ya to a caramel frap.

Huh? Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Then let's all go together!

To the festival!

I'd be happy to have you, Ichi!

When we're with you, Ichi,

lots of girls come talk to us!

Right. Forgot that's the

type of guy you are, Sentaro.

H-Heh, gonna go buy that frap!

Ichi, you sure you're okay with that?

Doesn't matter if I am.

There's nothing I can do about it, y'know.

If it's a no-go then I just go

back to the way things were.

I'm a frivolous guy, so I bounce back

from things like that.

Liar.

It was different with

Takiguchi-san, wasn't it?

You looked like you really

caught feelings there.

What's the hold up?!

Coming.

Is our promise still on?

Ichi!

The frap!

Coming!

Nobara-chan, did you do the next problem?

Oh, I just did it.

Let me see.

Do it yourself.

Hey.

What should we do about the summer festival tomorrow?

For meeting up and such

Wh

What

What time

Besides, I don't even know if it's right.

What time did

What time did

Oh, come on. It's fine.

Jeez.

Oh, so this is this, and that's

What the?!

Did you have a system crash

from studying too hard?

Sorry, don't mind me.

You say that, but

Huh? Is that the muffin

you made yesterday?

I thought you gave it to Senpai?

I couldn't give it to him.

Are you okay?

We have zero experience when

it comes to relationships,

so we might not be of much help.

But you can still talk to us about it.

Thanks.

But this is my problem, so it's

up to me to do something about it.

Still, if a time comes

when I do need help,

you guys will be the first I go to.

So, when the time comes,

please help me out.

Well, of course!

Give us all ya got!

Oh, but I wouldn't give

away that muffin now, okay?

It's summer after all.

Okay.

The distance between Senpai and

I is steadily closing.

But the closer we get,

the less we seem to click.

I want to do something about it,

but it never works out.

It's irritating.

Y'know,

I like you, Ichimura.

Huh? What's this? What's this?

Ichi, you're going out with Hasegawa?!

Since when?

Yesterday.

Are you serious?! Damn it!

I was going for Hasegawa!

Oh, my bad.

Too bad, Nakabayashi.

Ichi gets all the cute girls, man!

I don't think you should

go out with Hasegawa-san.

Yeah, her face is cute,

but she's been bragging about

you to girls from other schools.

Saying stuff like, "Don't you wish you

had a rich, handsome boyfriend like me?"

What, seriously? That's rude.

Yeah, unforgivable, isn't it?

Just kiddin'.

I already know all about that.

That's right!

He's seriously rich.

Part of the Ichimura group or whatever.

Is her tone normally like that?

Wha? His house seems dope.

I know, right?

That's sweet.

Really amazing.

Is there a pool in the yard?

I haven't gone over to his

place yet, so I don't know.

But the girls are all over him

because he's so handsome.

I feel like I snagged

the big prize, you know?

Wow, you're horrible!

They're talking about me like

I'm some kind of commodity.

Rich.

Handsome.

Prince.

Those three words define who I am

She's been talking about what you might

get her for Christmas, too.

What? I dunno if we're gonna

be together till Christmas.

Seriously

It really pisses me off that

she's taking advantage of you!

I'll listen to you vent if you want!

You can call me any time, okay?!

Wow, thanks.

Jeez, what bull.

You just want a rich,

handsome boyfriend, too.

Kohaku.

Ichimura-kun.

Ichi!

In the end, they're all the same.

What they want is the status

of dating the Prince.

That's why I never expected anything

and didn't ask for anything in return.

I'm not interested in

people to begin with.

It seems Ryu-kun broke

up with them, and

He just needs to get

his priorities straight.

When it comes to love, just having

a taste of it should be enough.

No Smoking

Due to the

summer

festival,

vehicles

prohibited.

Under

Surveillance

Yoi!

Could you take this upstairs for me?

Okay!

Anyway, what's this about you wanting

to help out at work all of a sudden?

You're not going to the festival

with your friends this year?

What? No, they're both

busy this year, so

I never heard back from Senpai.

And without any fanfare,

the day arrived.

I mean, I really should just contact him.

Nature's Blessing Rice

Nature's Blessing Rice

Nature's Blessing Rice

But

What would I do if he

said, "Let's not go"?

I couldn't stop thinking about that,

so I just didn't say anything.

Yoi-san, I'll help with that.

Thank you very much.

Please place it on the shelf over there.

All right.

By the way, whatever happened with

that person you were talking about?

The one who wasn't sure whether to wear

a yukata to the summer festival or not.

Oh, uh

She decided not to go.

What?! Why is that?

She's a coward.

She becomes especially timid

when it comes to him.

Not to mention, she doesn't really

know anything about falling in love.

And while she was trying to work it out,

it just slipped away from her

Sort of.

But she felt that way because

she loves him, didn't she?

I mean, when you love someone,

you don't want to look uncool

or clumsy in front of them,

and you don't want to get hurt, right?

Besides, you know right

away if you love someone.

Because

You'll always find them.

No matter how crowded a place may be,

you'll spot them right away.

Before you realize it,

you can't stop watching them.

And once you see them,

you can't tear your eyes away.

We often know ourselves the least.

Um!

Thank you very much!

Huh?

Dad! I'm leaving!

Sorry!

Huh? What?

Is she in a rebellious phase?

Hello? Kotobuki? Nobara?

What's up, Yoi-chan?

Are you outside? And running?

Yeah! Um

Fortune Telling

I know it's awkward

to ask this now, but

Do you happen to have a yukata?

What? Sorry, I don't.

Me neither.

Th-That's what I figured.

Sorry for suddenly asking

something weird.

Oh! A rental!

When I was writing a story about

dating in a kimono before,

I interviewed a nearby

kimono rental store.

I'll send you the link right now!

Nice, Nobara-chan!

It's closer than I thought.

Thanks, Nobara! You too, Kotobuki!

Festivals are awesome!

You're really enjoying

yourself, aren't you?

Of course I am!

There's still lots of places

to visit, so let's go!

Oh yeah?

Oh, hey!

It's Shun-kun and his crew!

Seriously, is it just you and

the guys? Hilarious.

Funny we ran into you.

Ugh.

What?! You're the girls

from Class D, right?

What are the odds?

Totally unlikely!

But I can't believe you came

after turning down our invite!

What? What's this about an invite?

What?! No way! You guys invited us?!

Yeah, we did.

Sorry, I figured you wouldn't want to go

with them, so I said we weren't going,

What? Thanks!

but it seems like the info got out.

Nah. It's nothin' you need

to apologize for, Kuwa.

But still, would it be bad if

Takiguchi-san found out about this?

Ah Not really.

I invited her, but she didn't respond.

What, seriously?

How did you invite her?

Did you say something weird?

Not really. I just asked her

if the promise was still

I'm sorry. I have work today.

Okay, got it.

Is our promise still on?

I'm sorry. I have work today.

Okay, got it.

Is our promise still on?

I'm sorry. I have work today.

Okay, got it.

Is our promise still on?

I'm sorry. I have work today.

Okay, got it.

Is our promise still on?

Crap. I didn't send it.

You airhead!

And your battery is at two percent!

I thought I sent it!

So just send it now!

What are you guys talking about?

Hey, we should go, too.

Everyone's about to leave.

Sorry. Go on without me.

What am I doing?

I'm so dense.

And selfish as well.

I didn't want him to hate me.

I didn't want to be disappointed.

I was focused on my own pride,

and on protecting myself.

Is our promise still on?

But Senpai still

always came to me regardless.

Damn it, why are they out of chargers?

Okay, got it.

Today

Is our promise still on?

I'm pretty sure there was a

convenience store across the way.

Oh!

There you are!

What are you doing by yourself?

Let's walk around and enjoy ourselves.

You don't have to worry about me.

Go play with the others.

What? But that no fun.

It'll be super fun. Don't worry.

Liar. You look super

bored right now, Ichimura.

I'm not.

I'm super

She was a different kind of girl.

The line of her neck stands out,

maybe because of her short hair.

Manga Encyclopedia

She reminded me of something.

This had to be it.

She was a kind of girl

I've never met before, and

No matter where we were, I was somehow

able to notice her right away.

I wonder if there's

a way I can have her

Look this way.

Turn around.

Only have eyes for me!

Yoi-chan!

Huh? Damn it!

Huh? Hey!

Seriously, what's going on?

Yoi-chan!

Yoi-chan!

Yoi!

You've come this far.

Don't run now.

But, you were with a girl, so

I thought I'd be in the way.

Huh?

That's seriously ridiculous.

Rid—

Could you please spare me that crap?

It's not!

It's not ridiculous.

To me

I'm far less honest than you think.

And I'm a pain to deal with.

Because

The only time I've ever held hands

with a boy was during a folk dance.

Being told I had a sweet tooth,

being carried like a princess,

being called by my first name,

and being told I'm cute

I'd never had any of that before, and

I've never met anyone who

was interested in me before.

So, when someone actually made

advances towards me,

I didn't want to be thought of

as someone easily won over.

I didn't want to be seen as someone

gullible and easily tricked.

Because

I really do want you to

be more into me, Senpai!

I want you to say more sweet things to me!

In fact, I want you to be

completely infatuated with me!

I'm sorry for trying to

act like a good girl.

Yoi-chan

Are you saying you love me?

Yes.

Look at me.

Take off your mask.

Take it off and look at me.

Damn. I could die right here.

Senpai's heart

It's beating so fast.

Um

You're going to get heatstroke.

Yep.

W-We have to go to the festival, too.

Someone might see

Yeah But

It's still not enough.

Um

No!

My My heart isn't ready.

Well

We can cross that bridge

when we come to it.

I'll wait patiently.

Thank you.

For now, let's enjoy the festival.

Yeah.

We gotta be careful that Kuwa

and Sentaro don't find us.

If we run into them now,

it'll be a pain to deal with.

Such a big hand.

Oh, yeah.

The yukata

It looks great on you.

It makes me super happy.

Ever since we met

Whenever I'm with Senpai,

I feel like I can just be a girl.

The boy who's special to me.

You on the Night of the Festival
