AYAKA is in LOVE with HIROKO (彩香ちゃんは弘子先輩に恋してる)

Haa...

Haa...

Senpai, this feels great!

Ow, that's hot...

Senpai, your turn for the shower.

How did this happen?

How did this really happen?

A business trip?

Yeah.

It's a project I've been working on

with Hiroko since last year,

but I can't make it this time

because of another engagement.

Can you go instead?

A business trip

with Hiroko-senpai? Just the two of us?

Yeah, it's an overnight trip,

but it will be

a great learning experience.

I'll do my best!

I'll pour my entire soul into this!

You don't have to go that far...

Then, I'll excuse myself.

A battle I cannot afford to lose

is starting now!

"AYAKA is in LOVE with HIROKO"

"Episode 3" "A double bed with a straight"

This one or this one? Which one do you think I should take on the trip?

Which one?

I think this one is ravishing.

But to abandon this prim and proper one is...

Umm...

By the way, why are you

choosing underwear?

Because it's my first business trip with Hiroko-senpai!

If there's a problem with

Hiroko-senpai's work because of me,

that would be terrible.

So I have to wear auspicious underwear.

For good luck, huh?

Yes.

Why are you laughing?

No, it's just so you, Ayaka.

Huh?

You're always so honest.

I suppose.

If it's for good luck,

I'd go with the prim and proper one.

Right?

I was leaning towards that one too!

- Okay, I'll take this one! - Yeah.

Alright.

Wow, Hiroko-senpai works on

local events too.

Yeah.

It's surprising, right?

But Hiroko-senpai is so busy,

it'd be better to handle it remotely.

I thought so too,

but if that's the case, I wouldn't be able to go on a business trip with senpai.

Ayaka,

you truly like Hiroko-senpai, don't you?

Yes.

I really like her.

You mean you're sharing a room?

We're not sharing a room!

It's for work!

If it were me, I'd find any excuse

to get into the same room!

Heh, don't assume I'm like you.

Hmm... But is this really okay,

Hiro-chan?

Can you stay calm in such a situation?

Even you, Mama...

It's strictly work.

Besides...

That girl has a boy she likes.

Ayaka, this is your first

business trip, right?

Yes.

But I'll do my best

not to trouble you, Senpai!

Wow, that's reassuring.

Yes.

I wore the one Risa chose, but...

Cha...

- Heave Ho! - Heave Ho!

Senpai, can you accept me now?

Yes!

- Heave Ho! - Heave Ho!

Ayaka!

Let's go.

Yes.

Focus! We're working today.

The event we're planning will be

held here at this market.

It's such a lively place.

Yeah.

Yamamoto-san.

Oh, Hiroko-chan!

- Hello. - Ah, I've been waiting for you.

Alright.

Sorry, sorry, please excuse me.

This is Yamamoto-san from

a traditional tuna factory.

And this is my junior colleague...

I'm Toda Ayaka.

- Nice to meet you. - Thank you for coming all this way.

I'm sorry I don't have a business card.

Yamamoto-san makes

delicious tuna croquettes

and now he's ready for this project.

- Oh. - No.

That's because Hiroko-chan

planned the project.

This meeting could've

been done remotely, though.

No, I wanted to see you, Yamamoto-san.

And I wanted to eat those

delicious tuna croquettes.

Really?

Then this is for you.

- Yay! - Here, take it.

- Is it okay? - Thank you!

Enjoy!

- Bon appétit. - Bon appétit.

Eat them while they're hot.

Umm...

Hiroko-chan

really pays attention to

each of us individually.

- I'm really grateful. - No,

I just enjoy working with everyone here.

Senpai's work is so warm.

I'll work hard to stand by your side.

Going to the chairman's place next, yes?

Yes.

Do your best.

- Yes. - Yeah.

- Excuse us. - Sure.

- Thank you! - Yeah.

- See you later. - Thank you!

Bye-bye!

- Ah! Hiroko-san! - Ah, Hatanaka-san!

- Long time no see. - It's been a while.

Ah, that is...

- It's completed, right? - That's right.

Are you okay? Let me help.

Oh, thank you.

- Here you go. - Huh? You are...

I'm Todo Ayaka from SAL Creative,

helping with this year's event.

I'll give it my all! Nice to meet you!

Thank you very much. Just here is fine.

- Thank you, thank you! - Are you alright?

- Alright. - Oh, please wait.

- Oh. - Oww...

You dropped something, Uncle.

- Ah. Thank you. - No problem.

But I'm an "Auntie."

"Auntie?"

This is the chairman.

I'm so sorry!

I apologize deeply!

- Her eyesight isn't great. - Sorry, I'm truly sorry.

We apologize.

Chairman, nice to meet you.

Haa... I'm tired.

I'm so sorry, Senpai,

for my manners.

It's okay.

The chairman said you were energetic.

Yes.

Yes...

I even wore my good luck underwear…

Haa...

But I was a bit impressed.

Huh?

Ayaka, you've changed.

Really?

Yes.

The past you...

How should I put it?

I used to be quite rigid.

Let's go. Well?

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's go. That's great!

- Everyone, let's go! - Let's go!

Calm down, let's take that one too.

Sure.

- You're going too, right? - Yes.

- Yes. - I'm glad.

Umm... Ayaka-chan, right?

We'll discuss about

tomorrow's gathering.

What do you think, Ayaka-chan?

I'm going home.

Oh, sorry, do you have plans?
