Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota (顔に出ない柏田さんと顔に出る太田君)

Kashiwada-san!

Do you wanna go to the beach?!

The beach?

Summer vacation starts tomorrow, right?

It'll be our last summer break in middle school, so why not make it a memorable one?!

Okay.

Yeah!

And if Kashiwada-san is coming, so are you, right, Oota?!

Why in the hell?!

Oota! You're going to the beach with girls over summer vacation?!

The beach! With girls! Over summer!

No fair! No fair! No fair! No fair! No fair!

Shut up already! You can go if you wanna so bad, Tadokoro!

Sounds like a pain to me, so I'm not going.

Uh-oh, Kashiwada-san's lost all hope.

I-If I have to...

We should really settle on a specific time.

I have cram school classes to attend.

Where did you even come from?!

How about next week?

That's fine.

If Oota and Tadokoro are going, I guess I should too.

It sounds like fun, anyway.

How many more people are gonna get in on this?!

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

KASHIWADA-SAN AND SWIMSUITS

Well, now that that's all settled,

I was gonna go buy a new swimsuit after school!

You wanna come, Kashiwada-san?

I do.

I'll pick a cute one out for you!

Swimsuits?!

I want to pick out a swimsuit for Kashiwada-san, too!

Tabuchi-san's getting scarily intense!

Oh, you wanna come too, Oota?

Why in the hell would I?!

So loud.

This is it!

They've got a huge selection here!

I don't really go swimsuit shopping much, so I'm kind of nervous.

EXCITED

Tabuchi-san, do you only own a school swimsuit for gym class?

Gulp!

That is obviously... not true...

I thought so!

Are you listening to me?!

I think this one would look good on Tabuchi-chan.

Kashiwada-san?!

It was a joke.

D-Don't scare me like that!

You wanna start over there?

With the one-pieces and the sporty two-pieces!

Dammit, why am I doing this?

Someone forgot their homework printout.

This is Kashiwada's desk.

She'd need to come back to pick it up...

But you've been to Kashiwada-san's house before, Oota,

so maybe you should bring it to her.

Why should I?! I don't wanna!

That's mean!

Wait, I think they said they were going to the store in the train station

to look at swimsuits after school.

They might still be there.

Kashiwada-san will probably be in trouble without this printout, y'know...

I-I'm not doing this for her sake.

This is to make her owe me one!

Ew!

What is he doing?

What's up?

It's nothing.

That was a close one. There's no telling what she'd say if she found me.

Is he trying that on?

It can't be...

I've gotta close in on Kashiwada without her noticing, and jam the printout into her bag!

It's the perfect plan.

Over here, Kashiwada-san!

Go time!

Wait, these are even better!

Don't they look great?

Odajima, are you doing this on purpose?!

Sh-She's staring right at me... did she see me?

No, she can't expect that I'd be inside all of this.

It's fine. I'm still in the clear.

But I gotta get out of here, and soon!

Kashiwada-san!

You wanna try mixing and matching with these?

Okay, time for a temporary retreat!

This swimsuit would look fantastic on you! It's too cute!

You're right! But don't you think it shows too much skin?

Oh, not at all!

Maybe not...

Oota! What are you doing here?!

Stalking?! Are you a criminal?!

I-It ain't like that! I needed to deliver Kashiwada's—

I think he's here to pick out a swimsuit.

A girl's swimsuit?!

I saw him making faces while worrying underneath a bunch of swimsuits, before.

That was your interpretation?! And you really did notice me!

I know!

He must've come because he was curious about Kashiwada-san's swimsuit!

Why the hell would I?!

Well, you were peeking just a second ago.

I was not!

I'm glad we found a swimsuit you liked, too, Tabuchi-san!

I-I guess.

Here.

Your printout. 'Cuz you left it behind.

Did you come along just to deliver that, Oota?

It's all wrinkly!

Shut up!

It's Oota.

Did you... actually go inside to deliver it?

You could've just waited until she came out.

KASHIWADA-SAN AND OOTA-KUN AND THE BEACH

It's the beach!

Let's have a ton of fun today, Kashiwada-san!

MAX HYPE

I really do think the swimsuits you two picked show too much skin.

So cute!

Man, I'm glad the weather turned out so nice!

It's been a while since I hit the beach!

Why the hell are you hitting it today?

Nobody asked you to come along.

Are you going to the beach? Are ya?

Need a ride?

Quit spying on me!

Now, now, she provided transportation and drove us all.

And dude, your sister is really pretty!

Not to mention hot! That was a shocker!

I'm so jealous, Oota.

She's just a pain in the ass.

Think back to the surströmming incident from Christmas, man.

She's got more than a few screws loose!

And she's bound to be up to something today, too!

Hey, excuse me!

I forgot to put on some sunscreen. Could someone get my back?

Who gives a crap? Do it yourself. Trash.

Let's go, Tadokoro, Sata.

That hurts! What just happened?!

Is that a crab?! Get it, Tadokoro!

Your butt! It's in your butt, Oota!

Get it out of there, Tadokoro, come on!

Whoa, hold on, that is not happening!

Those siblings are incendiary.

Much obliged, Kashiwada-chan!

You're such a sweetheart.

What a nightmare...

Kashiwada-san!

Are you still blowing that ball up? Hurry up and join us!

TRYING HER HARDEST

Gimme that, stupid.

There's a hole in this thing.

Here, I patched it.

Thank you.

Sure.

I thought for sure...

Keep blowing forever!

...was what you were going to say.

Shut up!

It was just too pathetic to watch!

So, have you two kissed yet?

Big Sister?!

I keep telling you, it ain't like that!

Mind your own business, bouquet-for-brains!

No way! You're still not going out?

That's weird.

Considering where you were at during New Year's,

I had you estimated as having kissed by now...

What kind of calculations are you basing that on?

Those two are cute, too.

Are you having trouble deciding between them or something?

I really doubt that.

No, no, there's definitely something going on.

Look, they're staring at each other.

I... am pretty sure that's not what that's about.

You really think so?

You don't get to look at Kashiwada-san's swimsuit anymore.

I mean, just listen to her!
