Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

Charles?! What are you doing here?

I came in pursuit of you, Princess Teresa de Larsenburg, future queen of Larsenburg.

Just kidding!

My university is on holiday, so I wanted to see your beloved Japan, Teresa.

What about work?

As long as I have my computer and smartphone, I can do general tasks, no matter where I go.

These flowers are so pretty.

They're the "Teresa, Princess of Larsenburg," which I had made recently.

It means "vow of love" in the language of flowers.

Lovely, isn't it?

"Vow of love"...

Thank you, Charles.

You'd like to tour our high school?

You can introduce me as just your childhood friend.

Telling your friends the truth would cause a lot of trouble, right?

Understood. I'll make arrangements for your tour.

Thank you.

Well, see you tomorrow.

Isn't that great, Miss Teresa?

What?

I feel reassured about everything since Sir Charles came for you.

You like Charles, right?

I do.

Because I respect him, and he is a fine fiancé worthy of you, Teresa, the future queen of Larsenburg.

That's true...

Wh-wh-who...

Who is that dashing man who seems as if he's been blessed by God with the whole package, Tada?

I don't know.

Well, he's no match for me, right?!

This is Charles, my childhood friend.

His university is out for summer break, so he came to visit Japan.

Bonjour! I'm Charles de Loire. It's a pleasure.

All of these photos are so lovely.

Right?

They taught me how to take pictures, you know.

That sounds like fun.

These are...

I took those pictures.

Wh-what?!

I see! You look cool in your photos, but you look far cooler in person, Ijuin-kun!

I know, right?! Photos don't do my charm justice! You get that, don't you, Charles?!

Yeah.

Ijuin-senpai drastically changes at the drop of a hat when he gets a compliment.

Indeed.

These animals have some nice expressions, too.

I took those pictures.

I can feel the effort the photographer put into it.

Oh, Charles-san! You get me! I'm so happy! Thanks, man!

You, too?!

These are very beautiful scenic photos.

Of course. Those are the places where HINA did her gravure photoshoots...

in other words...

holy places, that's why!

HINA?

That is his favorite gravure idol.

Huh...? She's...

What's so funny?

My apologies. She certainly is beautiful like a goddess.

Just as I'd expect from Teresa-kun's childhood friend! He has a good eye! He is an extremely fine gentleman!

These are pretty flowers and birds.

Those are Hasegawa-san's photos!

They're lovely, mademoiselle.

Thank you very much.

And these?

Those photos are mine.

I see... Tada-kun's photos...

They're marvelous! I feel like I understand the beauty of Japan just by looking at these photos!

Thank you very much.

So, where is your photo, Teresa?

This one is mine!

A rock?

It looked like a penguin smiling. Isn't it cute?

This is a courting penguin, right?

Yes! I found it in the courtyard!

Excellent. You two are attuned to each other.

So, they can tell it's a penguin.

Then, this photo is yours, right, Alec?

You're always good at finding adorable things, after all.

I-is that so?

It's a very nice photo!

Oh? Are you blushing, Alec?!

Eep!

Oh, and your photo, too, Teresa!

Do you really think so?

Of course! I mean it!

Geez...

Oh! Please look at the picture I took the other day!

Don't Charles and Teresa-chan look somewhat alike, Mitsuyoshi?

Alec won, you know!

Really? They're all lovely!

Yeah, they do.

Right?

Tada Coffee Shop

Here! Sorry to keep you waiting!

Mm, it's delicious!

Thank you very much.

It's nice that you have such a lovely shop next door.

If I were you, I'd wind up visiting every day.

Please visit! We'd be delighted to have you!

Thank you, Yui-san. I'll definitely drop by when I'm in the area.

Okay!

Wow! They're sparkling!

Is Charles-san really just your childhood friend?

Yes, he is.

Oh, yeah?

Oh? Was this your seat?

What's your name?

WHA-?!

His name is Nyanko Big.

Meow!

Nyanko Big, huh?

That's a unique name. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Purr, purr, purr...

An intrepid Nyanko Big.

Huh?

He acts totally different when it's me!

No fair, Nyanko Big! Be nice to me, too!

Hiss!

Eek!

And while we're at it, a trepid Nyanko Big.

There are plenty of lovely photos here, too...

Amazing people really do exist!

He's cool, kind, and Nyanko Big even likes him!

He also manages a company while attending university.

He's superman, then!

Yes, he is.

Hmph! Well, I'm gonna be a big and super chef some day!

Right, Mitsuyoshi?!

Good luck.

Thanks!

Is this also Tada-kun's photo?

Huh? Oh... no.

That photo was taken by my late father.

Tada-kun and Yui-chan's father was a photographer. He and their mother died in an accident ten years ago.

I see...

It must've been difficult for you since they both passed.

I've got Grandpa, Big Bro, and Nyanko Big, so it's okay!

Yeah!

It seems that way.

Tada Coffee Shop

I really enjoyed today.

Please come by again.

Charles-san, you're going to be in Japan for a while, right?

Yeah!

Oh! Well, you know, there's a party tomorrow, so why don't you guys come, Charles included?

I'm a celebrity, so I'll invite you to a celebrity party!

Kaoru-kun, I believe real celebs don't call themselves celebrities.

For real?!

Thank you for the invitation, Ijuin-kun. But I'm afraid I have a previous engagement tomorrow.

I see. Then, what about Teresa-chan and Alec?

We have plans, too.

Really? That's a shame...

Well, you're going, right, Mitsuyoshi?!

The party's gonna be like, "Ta-da! Free food," but not like, "Tada, here's your food."

Hey, give me something!

Well, we'll take our leave.

Thank you for the coffee!

See ya later, Teresa-chan and Alec!

Good night!

I want to see Nyanko Big again!

He's cute, isn't he?

Charles-san seems like a real prince!

Well, he's no match for me!

That means Big Bro can't win against him...

What are you talking about?

Hey, over here!

This way, guys!

I-is it okay for us to be at a party like this, Tada?

Probably... yeah.

Is my bow tie okay like this?

It's fine.
