I'm off!
No one's here yet.
Ren-chan!
Renge!
'Sup?
Sorry we're late.
Mom made Natsumi clean her room.
Nyanpasu!

Summer vacation isn't over yet.
We'll play more together.
Play how?
With a ball or something?
Let's play cicada...
Cicada catching?
Should we get some nets?
...and pretend we're shells.
Oh. Maybe not.
Let's play hide-and-seek, then!
We're doing kid stuff again?
Well, Ren-chon's still in first grade.
You're a first-year too, Nattsun.
We should do rock-paper-scissors!
Count from three?
Three, two, one...
It's Candy Lady and Big Sis!
Candy Lady! Big Sis!
Hey, Ren-chon.
Where are you riding the car to?
Oh, just doing some shopping.
Are you going to the department store?
Take me with you!
This isn't a field trip, guys.
Me too!
I wanna go too!
We're not going there for anything special.
It's so cool inside the car!
Good thing I brought my wallet!
I know, right?
Great, now I'm a field trip chaperone.
It really is a field trip.
We've got our teacher and everything.
All we need now is Bro, and we'll have the whole school here.
There he is.
We're at the department store!
And here I was looking forward to some nice, leisurely shopping time.
We knew this'd happen the moment they saw us.
What are you two in the back gonna check out?
Clothes.
Oh, oh, I wanna ride the panda on the rooftop!
We'll have time later.
Let's meet here after we're done shopping, okay?
Got it!
What are you looking at, Hotaru?
I can help choos—
Oh, Senpai!
I could certainly use some help deciding.
What? O-Oh, right, okay!
Is something wrong?
You seem flustered.
D-Do I?
Y-You're looking at these? I don't think they're for elementary schoolers.
Aren't they?
Quite a few girls in my grade wore them at my last school.
Really? Right.
W-Well, I guess that's okay.
S-So which ones were you looking at?
The ones I wear now look a bit childish, so I was thinking about going black.
Black?!
N-No way! It's too early for that!
Y-You think so?
I thought it wouldn't look too bad.
What are you talking about, Hotaru?!
You're in elementary school! That's not okay!
B-Black is more of a... mature lady's choice.
A-And talking about bras is kind of embarrassing.
I don't really know much about them.
Bras? I wasn't looking at those.
I was looking at the belts over here.
All right! I got the console I wanted!
Bro, we're throwing down as soon as we get back!
Oh, Natsumi-senpai!
Did you get what you needed?
Bro and I pooled our New Year's money to buy a game console!
Oh, the one that just came out?
Nah, that one's too expensive. We went with an earlier model.
What's with the blush, Sis?
I'm not blushing.
You're red as a beet.
Okay, is everyone here?
Yep!
Let's get back, then.
Oh, yeah. They gave me some raffle tickets.
Did you get any?
We did, but probably not enough for a draw.
If we combine our receipts, we should be able to do a few.
I wanna do a draw!
Let's go do that before we leave, then.
Nyanpasu-pasun!
Do you have raffle tickets, young lady?
I do!
Then go ahead and do a draw!
Good luck!
I got this!
Oh, blue gets a pack of tissues.
There you go.
I won tissues!
Can I take this?
Yeah, it's yours.
Candy Lady! I won tissues!
Yeah, good job.
I did it!
It must be 'cause I've been such a good girl.
I helped out with cleaning the bath every single day!
Oh, I see. Attagirl.
Why don't you do one, Sis?
We should have enough for one more.
I never win at this kind of stuff.
Congratulations! We have a winner!
You've won our special prize! Well done!
Here are tickets for a trip to Okinawa for four!
I can't wait to go to Okinawa.
Glad you can come with us, Konomi-chan.
I want to ride the kayaks I keep hearing about.
Yeah, me too!
Oh, and I wanna stay at a place like this.
It has that kinda Okinawan feel.
You don't know where you're staying yet?
We can choose, can't we?
I'll ask Kazu-nee.
What should I do?
Natsumi, you'd better finish your homework before you leave.
How much do you have left?
Let's see...
Just Japanese and English...
Oh, and our math workbooks, summer project, book reports...
Is there anything you have done?!
You won a raffle, huh?
I sure missed a lot on my way here from Tokyo.
We're all going.
Candy Lady too?
Senpai says she'll pay for me if I help chaperone the kids.
Konomi-chan's going too.
Okinawa, huh?
You don't want to go, Hika-nee?
Can't say I'm particularly interested.
I bet it's hella hot over there.
But the ocean is so blue.
There's plenty of blue in Tokyo too.
I'd take it over Okinawa any day.
Oh, yeah. I left some buns from Tokyo on the altar.
Buns!
I'm gonna go get them!
I wanna go! I really, really wanna go!
Please! I beg you! Take me too! Okinawa! Okinawa!
You sure changed your tune fast.
Why didn't you just say so from the start?
I couldn't grovel on my knees with my little sister watching!
This is the very last time I'll ever beg like this!
Knowing that, can you really say no?
I don't have the money. Ask your sister.
I'm out of beer.
Here you are, ma'am.
Thanks.
Please don't pour while groveling, though.
Well, I figured you'd want to go, so I got tickets for you too.
Aw yeah!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
All good.
Thanks again!
Well, if you've already gotten the tickets, I guess I don't mind going.
I could hear every word you said from the altar.
This'll be so much fun!
I'll finally get to ride an airplane!
The sea's very blue!
You need to see this, Candy Lady!
Oh, you're right.
What was that? Cheese berry blue?
She said the sea.
Shoot, I can still barely hear.
That flight did something weird to my ears.
Hika-nee, your ears weren't made to fly, huh?
Eel gourmet stir-fry?
