Hana-Kimi (花ざかりの君たちへ)

Thank you for the meal.

What's wrong?

Done already?

You need to eat a proper lunch, y'know?

Or was it not to your liking?

No, it's delicious!

I just don't have much of an appetite.

I'm really sorry.

Are you sure?

Maybe it's a touch of heat exhaustion.

Oh, I'm fine.

It's also that I don't want to gain weight...

But man, my chest feels so tight.

Sano.

I could help—

Izumi-sama!

I missed you so much.

The beach is so boring without you!

I came back on my own ahead of everyone.

Listen here.

I'm working right now.

Call me Tamami!

Come on, get off me.

No way!

You still haven't gone swimming.

Ashiya-kun.

Get off.

Ashiya-kun.

Oh, yeah?

Can you help me change the light bulbs around the entrance?

Sure.

Ashiya-kun?

Ashiya-kun?

Hey, Ashiya-kun!

Ashi—

Sano?

Don't touch him.

Is Mizuki-kun all right?

He seems fine.

But you call me right away if anything seems off.

Huh?

Yes, ma'am.

You back?

Oh, right.

I couldn't breathe all of a sudden.

It's because I forced myself to wear that tight binder...

Should I call a doctor?

No, I don't need one.

I'm fine.

All right.

Then I'll get back to work.

Okay.

Sorry for troubling you.

Don't worry about it.

I've got the rest covered,

so you just rest for the day.

Okay.

Got it?

He's leaving.

S-Sorry.

What am I even doing?

Do you want me to stay?

Fine. I'll stay until you fall asleep, so hurry up already.

Okay.

What should I do?

I'm checking on him 'cause he's unwell,

but I might just be a bother.

Yet on the other hand,

if I don't see that he's fine, I'll be too worried to live—

Drop your one-man comedy act and get back to work!

How about cleaning the back yard?!

Yes, ma'am.

I slept so long.

Sano?

He's not here.

Of course.

Oh wow, I sweat a ton in my sleep.

Staff Only

That feels great!

Getting out of that binder is such a relief.

I think...

I really have gained weight.

Damn, it's hot!

Nakatsu?!

I can't take being covered in sweat anymore.

I forgot to lock the bathroom door!

Don't come in here!

Now what do I do?!

Huh?

Th-That was a surprise...

Wait, th-this is a chance for us to be in the bath together.

What are you thinking, you idiot?

You sound like a pervert!

Dumbass.

Just be honest with yourself.

I mean, think about it.

Nothing weird about two bros getting in the bath together.

Damn right!

We're bros.

Why am I freaking out over this?

Let's go!

It's not like I'm doing this with a girl.

Yeah, it's not like... he's a girl...

I can't!

Wh-What?!

N-Nakatsu?

Jeez!

What happened?

N-Nakatsu?!

Hey! Hey! Nakatsu!

Nakatsu, sorry!

Clothes... Clothes!

Okay, done!

Just hang in there!

I'll go get someone!

I can't believe I got a nosebleed and passed out.

What the hell was wrong with me last night?!

It's too early in the morning for this!

It's Not Like We Could Become Lovers

Good morning.

Getting in some training?

You could say.

I really need to be ready for the next tournament.

He looks like he's enjoying himself.

There you are!

Really, you are so bad!

You promised you'd go to the beach with me this morning.

I never did that.

Hey, get off of me!

Oh, morning, Mizuki-kun!

Good morning!

Listen to this, Mizuki-kun.

Izumi-sama's the worst, isn't he?

I told you to stop calling me that.

Mizuki-kun.

Makita-san?

Good morning.

How are you feeling?

Think you can have breakfast?

Yes, I'm fine.

That bastard.

Huh?

Oh yeah, I need to go buy stuff later.

Wanna come with?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Yo.

Hey.

Kagurazaka.

Who was that with you just now?

Makita-san?

He's my coworker.

You two seem to be hanging out a lot lately.

What happened to Sano?

I mean, it's not like he and I are together all the time.

We have different work tasks...

Hmm, that's not like you.

I know Tamami scurrying around is annoying,

but you're usually more of a loose cannon.

Huh?

I actually appreciate that side of you.

So stop looking so down.

Kagurazaka...

Are you trying to cheer me up?

I mean, I'm a nice guy.

Not that I give a damn about what happens to you two.

Yeah, right.

You've got a thing for Sano too.

D-Don't be ridiculous!

Beware Bears

I like women!

Women! Women!

Anyway, that Makita guy or whatever...

I don't like his vibe.

Could you grab that bag over there?

Sure.

You can leave the heavy stuff to me.

Thank you.

I think he's a nice person.

You two can take a break.

I'll go get some fresh air.

I'll get some drinks.

Izumi-sama!

Good work.

Not you again.

I'm cleaning the entrance now, so stop getting in my way.

Izumi-sama, wait!

You look like an abandoned kitten.

Makita-san...

Don't wanna spend your break with me?

No, that's fine.

Here you go.

Thanks.

See? Someone who's kind at a time like this...

I can't think he's a bad guy.

You like peach?

Yeah!

Nice. Great minds think alike.

I know you having to clean is a lie!

Come on!

The beach?
