Oh Boy, Was I Wrong About Her (転校先の清楚可憐な美少女が、昔男子と思って一緒に遊んだ幼馴染だった件)

We're coming, Haruki!

I'm ready for you!

Hime-chan!

Himeko!

Ouch!

Nice job, Haruki!

Himeko, go tell Old Gen!

O-Okay!

I'm glad nothing happened to Himeko.

Mom would've been mad. "You can't let a little girl get hurt!"

But you don't care if I get hurt?

I'm not worried about you, Haruki.

I knew that you'd be fine, partner!

Partner, huh? I guess it's okay then.

Man, dreaming up some old memories.

OH BOY, WAS I WRONG ABOUT HER

EPISODE 5 "DISCIPLINE, YOUNG MAIDEN"

When vegetables flower or bear fruit, they start to run out of nutrients.

Mm-hmm. That's why we have to keep fertilizing them.

Vegetables are just like people.

When they exert too much energy, they get worn out.

Vegetables are just like people...

Okay!

That should do it.

Thank you very much for your help!

Yeah.

Is something wrong?

No, it's just...

Mitake-san.

If you're going to do club activities out in this heat,

you might want to do something about your clothes.

At the moment, you're just a little too distracting for the boys to handle.

Haruk—

Nikaido!

Shuffle, shuffle. Spin! Vroom!

Pervert.

No! It's not... Look, I was just...

Glare.

Um, I, well, um...

Glare.

Sorry.

Hmph!

What a mess.

Hmph!

Okay, that's enough for today.

When you review today's key points,

please compare them to the printout from earlier.

Printout?

Maybe from before I transferred?

Um, so, Nikaido-san?

Thanks!

Sure, you can use my copy,

just don't start lecherously ogling it like you did that girl earlier, okay?

Wait, lecherously what?

Hey, Kirishima, what exactly did Nikaido-san catch you doing?

Was it the childhood friend she mentioned before?

No, it was... Now just hold on! I wasn't—

So, Kirishima.

How exactly do you lecherously ogle something?

Did you let slip that you got a weird fetish?

Oh, of course. That would make sense.

Yeah, relatable.

Totally.

Actually, I'm really into armpits.

I'm into ankles.

Collarbones for me.

Laugh lines!

No! Listen to me! It was nothing like that!

That's kinda hardcore.

Earlobes!

Hangnails!

Butt dimples!

It's breasts. Breasts.

Huh?

Kirishima-kun is apparently really into the boobs.

What?! Haru... Nikaido!

We got to hear the beautiful word "boobs" straight from Nikaido-san's own mouth!

Boys are gross!

You too, Kirishima-kun?

Check out the grin on Nikaido's face.

What, Mori?

Why you little...

You don't say!

So my big bro is into breasts, huh?

Yeah, it was like he turned into a beast.

I mean, you should've seen the sleazy look on his face.

Was the girl really that big?

Well, definitely bigger than me. Two, maybe three ranks above.

Actually, I couldn't help but stare either.

That must have been impossible to resist.

I suppose I can forgive you, Hayato.

Fine. Thanks. But would you stop talking and finish eating your dinner?

Okay.

Okay.

Actually, I'll have seconds.

Me too!

Still, what's wrong with Hayato anyway?

He's got two cuties right here in front of him

and he's gawking at other girls?

I know, right? He should just settle for me and...

Chance!

You win!

I won!

What? Haru-chan?

Haru-chan? Hello? Anyone home?

Uh, Hime-chan...

Um, yeah, I'd better get going.

No need to show me out.

Bye!

Haru-chan?

Did Haruki just take off?

Yeah, I think so.

She didn't want us to show her out?

I bet she thought you'd be staring at her chest if you went with her.

Not a chance!

Quit talking nonsense and go take a bath. It's ready for you.

Okay.

Boy, Haru-chan sure can be stubborn sometimes too.

Why can't she ever fix things up with my brother without my help?

And I wonder what was going on with her today.

Could she actually be getting interested in my brother or something?

Nah, not a chance.

I'm home!

So cold!

What the...

I know, right? He should just settle for me and...

Am I worried that another girl might get to Hayato first?

Oh, come on!

Either way, it's still Hayato's fault!

INCOMING CALL KIRISHIMA HIMEKO

What's wrong, Hime-chan?

Haru-chan, are you in the clear?

Um, what do you mean?

I...

gained a whole four kilos!

Haru-chan, you had seconds again today, didn't you?

So what about you?

I should... be fine.

Yeah. I'm sure I'm fine.

INCOMING CALL KIRISHIMA HIMEKO

You gotta face reality. Go weigh yourself now!

Oh, don't be silly!

We're forming a diet alliance, aren't we?

A diet?

Yeah, a diet.

Have you ever gone on one before?

Huh?

D-Do you think I'm overweight?

D-Do you think I need to go on a diet?

No, no! My sister asked for my help with one.

I don't think you need to go on a diet at all.

I-I'm sorry. I jumped to conclusions again.

I always cook for her, so I was wondering if you knew any good recipes for diets.

Oh, do you cook too, Kirishima-san?

Well, I started out of necessity since my mom can't now.

Right, that's why you were at the hospital.

You're a very good brother, Kirishima-san.

Well, I don't know if I'd say that.

I think it's really wonderful that you would be willing

to learn a new skill to help someone out!

My grandpa is also...

Mitake-san...

A second ago, you asked me if I cook "too."

Do you also cook?

Huh? Well, yes.

If you have any favorite recipes, maybe you could share them.

I don't mind sharing, but they're mostly the kinds of things my grandpa likes.

Then they're probably good for diets too.

Oh!

You might be right!

U-Um!

Thank you for coming to meet me.

Is this a love confession?

The boy with her is Kaido-san.

Kaido?

Kaido Kazuki-san.

He's in the soccer club, and everyone knows he's really popular with the girls.

He'll reject her any second now, and she'll run off.

See?

How did you know he'd turn her down?

She seemed really pretty.

Because of what all the girls have been saying about him.

Oh?

That Kaido-san thinks Nikaido-san is the one.

Haruki is the one, huh?

Morning...

Hey, Kirishima.

Huh? What are those girls going on about?

Just listen in and you'll get the idea.

The ones that say "just eat this one thing" are all scams!

Hard exercise is a trap.

But now I understand why they say hunger is the best spice.

Mm-hmm.

So basically, getting moderate exercise and watching what you eat

are the most important things, right?

So, yeah, they're talking about dieting.

My little sister was rambling on about diets the other day too.

Is it some kind of fad?

It is about time to switch to summer clothes.

Oh, right. I can give you one piece of advice.
