Unhappy Go Lucky! (あんハピ♪)

I'm exhausted.

We were one of the last teams to finish the dice game.

And then we came in dead last.

I really am sorry I'm so useless.

I guess it was ridiculous to think I could be helpful as a squid.

While I'm at it, I should apologize for being born in the first place...

Did you like being a squid that much?

Strawberry au lait!

Strawberry au lait!

Thanks for waiting!

I'm sorry!

Framboise!

My strawberry au lait...

Hanako, are you okay?

You really do have terrible luck.

Have a tissue.

Thanks.

She saved me back then so no one would find out about him.

Hey, Hanako...

What is it, Hibari-chan?

At the end of the happiness training...

You were covering for me, right?

Th-Thank you.

Huh?

Huh?

If you weren't, just forget it!

What? Forget what?

Never mind!

Huh? What?

Didn't we come to discuss our homework?

Let's get started!

Okay.

So it's a strategy meeting, is it?

Faculty Office

Lucky items?

Yes, a trustworthy witch doctor selected them based on the data we gathered

on the three of you who finished last.

Please turn in the items written here by the start of next week.

A witch doctor?

Episode 4

A Mysterious Penalty

Just taking a picture of what's supposed to be a "lucky item" seems a bit lax...

What did you get, Botan?

"A wonderful memory with friends."

Huh?

That sounds nice! I got a flower.

It has a long name...

It's, uh... "The flower of happiness that blooms at the gate of dawn."

What is that? An item from a video game?

It says it can be found here in town.

What's yours, Hibari-san?

Huh?

M-Mine will be easy.

I should be able to do it at home.

What is it? Now I'm curious!

Tell me, tell me!

M-My "best smile."

I'll do anything I can to help.

Me, too!

I can do it myself!

Don't say that.

We have tomorrow off.

Why don't we all get together?

Yeah!

Fine.

Huh? We still haven't gotten our cake.

Let's meet at the park near the school at 1:00.

Okay. I can't wait.

Let's have tons of fun!

We're meeting to do our homework.

Did you hear that, Ren?

Sorry, I wasn't listening.

They're looking for their lucky items?

If they do that,

we'll become the most unfortunate students in class!

I thought you liked being the "most" anything.

There's no point in a rank if no one can see it!

Ren, we're following them tomorrow!

What?

Don't sound like it's such a pain!

In fact, now and then...

I-It wouldn't be so bad to spend the weekend with me, would it?

After all, we're childhood friends...

That's why it's such a pain. And there's you-know-what...

Don't say that!

Fine.

Come on. This way.

I can borrow Dad's camera...

Since we'll be looking for things, should I wear comfortable clothes?

Or, since it's the weekend, should I wear the special dress I almost never wear?

This isn't a date!

I'm worrying too much.

It's just been so long since I've gone out on the weekend with friends...

Four hours later...

Botan-sama, these are your clothes for tomorrow.

Thank you for your help.

It seems a bit tight...

Have I... gained weight?

Goodness me. I'm sorry.

Sayuri-sama's clothes were mixed in with yours.

It's Sayu-chan's?

That's a relief...

How's this? It's not weird, is it?

You look great.

About ten more should be enough...

Huh?

Nothing.

Their names are Hibari-chan and Botan-chan, right?

You've made some nice friends.

Yeah!

Maybe I'll fold some cranes.

Hibari-san! Over here.

Sorry. It took me a while to get ready.

It's not a problem.

Wh-What?

Your dress is so cute.

Th-Thanks.

And your coat looks...

really expensive.

Oh, um...

Embarrassingly enough, I've never bought clothes for myself before.

If anything about it is unbearable to look at...

It's not that at all. It's cute.

Thank you.

Hanako doesn't seem to be here yet.

What's this? One of them is still missing.

Zzz...

Ren, wake up!

Oh, sorry. It was so warm, I couldn't help it.

Don't touch Ren!

Bad cat, bad cat!

Hanakoizumi Anne

It's Hanako-san.

Hello?

Sorry...

I left home at eight just to be safe,

but I kept falling into manholes and rivers.

Sploosh!

I've come back home about ten times to change.

You can start on the homework without me...

Well, that's that.

I guess we should have expected as much.

What should we do?

We don't have much time,

so let's gather information on Hanako's homework first,

since it seems the most difficult.

Okay.

They're already on the move.

Is the item that difficult to find?

Ren, let's go.

What, again?!

Beat it! Scram!

Stay away!

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We meet again.

This is the fourth one.

Why do they keep visiting flower shops?

Gate of dawn?

Flower of happiness?

I'm sorry. I don't know.

Of course not.

But there is someone who knows a lot about the local flora.

Really?

Here!

Grandma Ume on Third Street.

She used to be in charge of caring for the flowers at the botanical garden.

She's always out in the sun.

Why don't you go ask her?

Thank you.

They're booking it.

That looks yummy!

They found us?!

Want a bite?

Really?

I won't allow it!

No, wait! Let's run!

I'll drop my ice cream...

You always do this, Ren! Always!

A date?

Looks like we lost her.

How?! Are you a ninja or something?!

Huh? I've been here the whole time.

Hibiki, your you-know-what brought us back to where we started.

What?

Hey, hey! Are you two out together today?

She hasn't realized what I'm up to?

No, it's not like that.

That's exactly right.

Now, if you get the hint, go away.

Oh, really?

Since I ran into you, I was hoping we could all hang out together.

With you guys? No way!

Kitty! It's a kitty!

No! They're here?

Stray kitties!

So forward...

Quit hanging on Ren!

Sorry. You won't listen to Hibiki because she's so loud, huh?
