Kimi Kiss Pure Rouge (キミキス pure rouge)

How nostalgic!

Because... Because...

There seem to be a lot of people regretting that they can't go flower-watching.

So, it's about time we say goodbye to the cherry blossoms.

At schools that are just starting,

It feels like I dreamt something...

you'll be able to see lively children walking through the falling cherry blossoms.

Huh? No one's home?

What? Mom's not home?

Ah, it's open.

U-Um, who might you be?

Wow! You haven't changed a bit!

It's been a while. You look well.

Um...

Hey, Kouichi.

Eh?

How about you at least help me carry my luggage?

Oh, okay.

I'm tired.

Is your mom out?

Yeah, it seems like she's not home.

I see.

I'm kind of thirsty, do you have anything to drink?

There's barley tea in the fridge.

I see.

Ah, wait!

That was refreshing!

Um...

You got a new television!

W-Wait!

This table is so nostalgic!

Nostalgic?

I'm sweaty after all that walking.

I'm going to use the shower, okay?

S-Shower?

Wait a minute!

U-Um...

What? You pervert.

Or do you want to come in with me?

I'm sorry.

Just who is she?

Mom's acquaintance?

But she seems to know me.

No, I don't know someone...

Someone...

Someone as pretty as her.

Hey, Kouichi!

What, Kazuki?

What do you mean, "What?"

I came all the way here to pick you up.

Pick me up?

Hiiragi called us out today for a movie shoot, right?

Oh... I forgot.

You...

Kouichi!

Are you there?

I'm going to borrow a towel, okay?

A-A girl's voice...

Hey, Kouichi! Don't tell me...

T-That's not it!

Then what was that voice just now?

It can't be your mom's voice!

What's with all the ruckus?

J-J-J-Just out of the bath?

You have that kind of a relationship already?

Like I said, I don't know her.

Huh? Don't know me?

Damn it, you traitor!

Why are you crying?

Kouichi!

What do you mean, you don't know me?

That's right! That's right!

If you had a girlfriend, you should have told me truthfully!

Eh?

Kouichi!

If it isn't Kazuki!

Mao-neechan!

Eh?

Let's go, Kouichi, Kazuki!

Mao-neechan?!

What, you just realized it?

How cold-hearted.

In the past, you two followed me around all the time.

No, it was more like you forced us...

But, Mao-neechan, didn't you move to France two years ago?

That's right, and I came back today.

Sanada Kouichi.

Yes?

Aihara Kazuki.

Yes?

I'm back!

Welcome back, Mao-neechan.

Welcome back.

You guys...

What are you doing?

She's staying with us?

Yeah, I told you, right?

I didn't hear anything.

Take good care of me, please.

You're staying here? Where are your mom and dad?

They're still in France. I'm the only one who came back.

I want to go to a Japanese high school, too.

High school?

I'll be transferring to Kibina High School as a third year.

That's our school!

Help out a lonely transfer student, okay, second years?

But really, you've become very pretty, Mao-chan.

Certainly...

Really?

Did something happen over there?

Because around the time we were in middle school...

What do you mean?

Mao-neechan!

Don't talk to me.

I'll forget all the vocabulary!

Oh, no, auntie!

Nothing happened!

Eh? Really?

Mao-neechan sure changed.

Yeah...

This isn't good, I'm sleepy now because of jet lag.

How about you take a nap?

I'll go lay a futon out for you.

Ah, thank you.

By the way, why did you come here, Kazuki?

Eh?

You showed up, Gori Kong.

I'm your opponent, the warrior of love and healing, the masked bear.

Healing Beam.

Cut!

Could you show a bit more tension?

Like I can!

What the heck is this movie?

It's a PR movie to welcome newcomers to the Movie Research Club.

I explained that to you earlier, didn't I?

I'm not asking you about that!

Aihara.

I can't understand what you're trying to say.

I'm the one who can't understand you, Hiiragi.

But it's amazing you were able to borrow these suits. It was tough, right?

You sure are understanding, Sanada.

It was honestly quite tough.

I came up with the idea yesterday, and I immediately went to the Drama Club to request them.

They weren't really complying.

Yesterday?

Damn it! It's the last day of spring break! What the heck am I doing?

It's okay.

You're probably free because you have no one to go out on a date with, right?

Well, sorry about that!

Doing this would be a good diversion, right?

Hiiragi...

Well then, let's finish up the scene.

I have a date after this.

Damn that bastard Hiiragi.

He's even making us carry these damn suits.

Well, he did get those suits himself.

It can't be helped.

Is that what you really think?

No, not really.

All right, I've decided.

I'll get a girlfriend for sure by summer vacation.

Didn't you say that for winter vacation?

Aren't you frustrated?

You can't get a girlfriend just by raising your spirits.

That's right...

You've got to find a girl you like first.

Eh?

Eh?!

Eh?!

Mao-neechan came back?!

Yeah, that's borrowed, so don't touch it.

How nice. I want to see her soon!

You'll be able to see her when school starts.

So, Kouichi-niichan and Mao-neechan are living together?

It's kind of exciting!

Huh? Why is it exciting?

Because Kouichi-niichan is a growing boy,

and Mao-neechan is a growing girl.

It's really exciting after all!

No way.

Mao-neechan is something like a sibling.

They are unrelated, though...

Unrelated...

Kouichi.

Kouichi.

Mao-neechan? What is it?

I couldn't sleep...

Ah, there... Ah... No!

I don't like this position, move it!

You! You little...!
