Summer Pockets

I awaken abruptly.

There's a field as far as the eye can see.

Next to my shadow, a silhouette not mine wavers.

That's right...

I came here to play.

My shadow holds hands with the silhouette.

We walk out into the vast field.

Once more...

Hello?

Wake up!

Come on.

Hello!

You're finally up.

You need to start waking up on your own, Hairi-san.

Morning, Umi-chan.

Hurry up.

The food's gonna get cold.

Has Umi-chan always talked like that?

Wait, I just met her yesterday. What am I even saying?

Let's eat.

It's not good...

You can take a break if you want.

I'll ask you for help with the shed later.

Why not enjoy the island?

You might meet someone special.

Someone special, huh?

She's just asleep, right?

Seriously...

How is it so safe out here?

A dog?

Careful!

Uh...

Morning.

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Who are you?!

Why are you holding me?!

A-Are you going to have your way with me?

Please go slow at first!

So I can be aggressive eventually?

Of course not!

Takahara Hairi?

Weird name.

You can take it up with my parents.

And you're going through your grandma's stuff?

You'll be here a long time then, huh?

For a while.

Do you have to be so blatantly creeped out by me?

I'm not that emotionally secure.

How could I not be creeped out?

You attacked me in my sleep.

I never attacked you.

Anyway, if you see me sleeping, leave me alone.

Oh, crap!

It's two!

I'm late for work!

Inari! Let's go!

Pon!

It's two?

How did she know?

I don't recognize him.

Then he must be Shocking Taka, the host who lost his charm!

What?!

I heard that's your professional name.

From who?!

From Grandma Kido!

Who's the host who's lost his charm?

The lady from the ferry!

Takahara Hairi-kun.

Takahara Hairi-kun, who's been on the island since the day before yesterday,

please come to the office.

Huh? Me?

She's calling you, Shocking Taka.

What have you gotten into, Shocking Taka?

You shouldn't make her wait, Shocking Taka.

Could you please stop calling me that?

A welcome party?

For me?

We call long-time visitors to the island migratory folks.

A tradition of welcoming people like you.

So, yeah, just let us do this for you.

Torishirojima is kind to its guests.

Shut up and get dressed.

Hey, is it all right if I bring a plus one to this welcoming party?

Not a problem.

Everyone on the island is basically family.

Excuse me?

Why would I go?

You can go by yourself.

Oh, don't say that.

Let's get to know the islanders better.

Reserved

Welcome to Torishirojima!

Welcome to Torishirojima Island!

Greetings.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Sorakado Ao.

Wait, it's you!

Wait, what? You know each other already?

He nearly had his way with me while I was asleep!

Oh?

Nice going.

No, I definitely didn't.

But you grabbed me!

Oh?

Not bad.

Well, things might have gotten pretty aggressive in the end.

You should have taken it slower!

Oh?

Nice!

No, it wasn't like that!

You're in perfect sync.

You're like a mixed doubles team that's been playing together for years.

Who's she?

A relative of mine.

We're staying at the same place.

I'm Katou Umi.

I brought this for everyone.

Fried rice, huh?

You're so polite.

I can't wait to see how you grow up.

What's up?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

I'm stuffed.

Here. Water.

Thanks, Sorakado.

Call me Ao.

They're a fun, lively bunch.

We've been hanging out since we were little.

We also serve as the island's youth group.

There was nothing like that back home.

I'm a little jealous.

You can be part of the youth group while you're on the island.

You're plenty qualified if you're related to Grandma Katou.

Yeah?

That sounds nice.

You didn't need to walk me home.

Don't be silly. What if you were to get lost?

Pretty caring, are we?

I wouldn't want that for Umi-chan.

Yeah... You're right.

Once I put Umi-chan to bed, I'll walk you home next.

I certainly won't need that.

I grew up on this island.

No way would I get lost.

I mean, you're a girl. You can't be walking around alone at night.

Thanks.

But there's nowhere safer than this island.

Is it safe, though?

It is indeed.

It's sweet...

She definitely mistook the sugar for salt.

Hang on, this might be her magnum opus.

It could be a revolution for fried rice.

Or not!

Dad, could you hand me the soy sauce?

Wuh?

I didn't mean to call you that.

It happens.

Like when you call your teacher "mom."

Y-Yeah, like that.

It happens, right?

This is only a hundred yen?

Strawberry, melon, lemon, blue Hawaii...

They all taste the same, though.

Really?!

Come enjoy it in the living room over here.

There's a fan there. It's nice and cool.

I guess I'll take you up on that.

Listen... I go to an all-boys school.

I'm not used to seeing girls in so little clothing.

This could be a sign, though.

Maybe you could help me build up a tolerance?

Wh-Wh-What do you mean by that?!

Are you asking me to undress?

You want me just barely covered to entice your desires?!

Getting my clothes wet on purpose, licking it off lustfully,

getting on top of me when I fall...

I'm not entirely uninterested in boys myself, but...

Oh boy, we've got a problem.

Sounds like she isn't totally opposed to the idea.

By the way...

Yes?!

Could I get some shaved ice?

I wasted mine and I'm still thirsty.

How could you throw it on me there?!

No, no aiming for that!

You little...

Hey!

Scary...

I never got my shaved ice.

That was kinda fun, though.

I feel like I got to let loose and be crazy.

Smells like first love.

Shaved Ice

The shaved ice here is great.

Pon!

Don't you have anything better to do?

Kyouko-san won't let me help with the shed.

Besides, I've got nowhere else to go.

Professor!
