Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3

Kitahara Ryokan

Delicious.

This is amazing, Shiori-chan.

Thank you. Not that I made any of it.

You grew up on this cuisine, Kitahara?

Lucky dog.

Don't be silly. We only got leftovers that weren't fit to serve to guests.

I've had enough dried-up sashimi to last a lifetime.

Is that how it works?

Back when I was little, Nii-sama used to cook for me often.

Our parents were always too busy.

Really?

She took over when she got older, though.

Nii-sama, lunch is ready.

Please knock!

Hmm, I see.

Your little sister's home cooking?

Cool it with the bloodlust. I don't wanna deal with it.

Just ask her to make you something for the trip back.

You'd do that for me, Shiori-chan?

Yes, of course.

Would you like something too, Chisa-neesama?

You sure?

Absolutely.

Sorry to trouble you. Your brother is too...

Oh, it's no trouble.

If anything, I'd be glad to.

Glad?

Yes. After a relaxing stay at the ryokan,

I can picture you on the train home...

Chisa-neesama holding one of my rice balls,

Imamura-senpai holding my homemade omelet,

Where's the Nii-sama?

and Nii-sama smiling, holding my homemade passport.

Nothing could make me happier.

Shiori-chan!

What a good kid.

Hold up. Do I have a forged passport?

Oh, I see you're wearing a yukata now.

Yes. I got changed since I'm done for the day.

If I wear my kimono, guests will think I'm on the clock.

I see.

True. A yukata makes you blend in with the guests.

You look great in that too, Shiori-chan.

You're very cute.

Thank you both.

What do you think, Nii-sama?

Hmm...

She does look really good in that.

But I think we need one more nudge to really set those guys off.

Sadly, she's got no sex appeal.

Um, Nii-sama, please don't stare so much.

It gives me the creeps.

Oh, my bad.

I wasn't leering at you or anything.

Is that so?

But take a layer off, will you?

Er...?

And show some cleavage.

What are you asking your little sister?

Huh? Sounds like normal sibling behavior to me.

By the way, Nii-sama...

Hmm?

What is it?

Assuming you stake out my room tonight,

where am I supposed to sleep?

Oh, well...

With Kohei-niisama, of course!

Do you not want to sleep in the same room as us?

Yep. I'd rather die.

You're always welcome, though, Nii-sama.

How about Chisa's room, then?

That's fine by me, but I wouldn't want to impose.

I don't mind.

But why?

I'm worried because there's a stalker on the loose.

Oh, yeah. The cops were here.

Yeah!

It's an outrage, I say!

In that case, you should sleep in my room.

Thank you.

You do that.

Better safe than sorry.

Of course, we'll do everything we can to protect you, Shiori.

Anything for my little sister.

Thank you both.

She's not your sister, Imamura-kun.

If everything goes well, give back my passport—

Um...

I'm sorry about earlier today.

I brought you some drinks to apologize.

Oh, it's fine.

You shouldn't have.

You two help yourselves, too!

S-Sure.

Th-Thanks.

Where are your friends? Aren't they with you?

No. They went back to their room.

I think they're planning something in secret.

They won't show me any photos they've taken,

and they keep looking at some map and whispering to each other.

What do you think?

Do you even have to ask?

Right?

Do you know what room they're in?

They should be in the Matsu-no-Ma.

The Pine Room, huh?

Roger.

Did they become tomodachi?

I don't think that's quite it.

Why do I get the feeling something dumb's going down?

Um, would you like to join us?

May I?

Of course. Those two just left and all.

Thank you!

I actually wanted to ask you two about Japanese culture!

Is that so?

Matsu-no-Ma

Yeah?

Good evening, boys.

We're with the police.

Guilty as sin.

Yeah, it's fishy how everything looks perfectly normal.

Our thoughts may be opposite, but the conclusion's the same.

All right, guys.

You'll stay here in this room and behave yourselves tonight.

Kugel!

Stro!

If it isn't the boys from earlier today.

Not satisfied, are you? Back for another ass-kicking?

That slipped our minds, huh, Kohei?

Sure did, Kitahara.

I don't think being a bigger drinker makes a bigger man...

...but we are PaB members.

We don't take things lying down!

These kiddos just don't learn.

When they needed water to drink beer.

This stuff we usually drink

is 35% ABV.

No wonder it was too hard for these kiddos.

Meanwhile, it's basically an appetizer for us.

Well, we're up against the lightweight Japanese.

Us crazy guzzlers are just too godly for them.

We could go easy on them and mix it with tonic...

Hey!

Hmm?

How about we have a duel where we have to drink the booze and the chasers?

They're not even ashamed to admit they have to drink water?

Did the Japanese put all their samurai spirit into their anime?

Okay, okay.

We can use chasers if you want.

Let's get to it.

Prost!

Cheers.

Giving up already?

I'll give you credit for lasting one round!

We'll just drink our chaser now if you don't mind!

Even if you water down your booze, you don't stand a chance...

Wh-What is this?!

Ugh... this isn't water!

How is this a chaser?!

Scheisee!

I just can't stand super sweet liquor.

Yeah, it's love it or hate it.

What are you two yelling about now?

Did you get the wrong idea about something?

Sorry to break it to you.

That stuff was too sweet for us, not too strong.

In our eyes, this is booze.

This crap is the chaser.

All right.

Shiori-chan's safe now.

They really love this anime character, huh?

I can admire their passion.

They came on a club trip to Japan for it, after all.

Yes. They're all kindred spirits...

What's up?

Something just hit me.

What?

These guys are in the same fan club, right?

Yeah, so?

Doesn't that mean...

that Carina woman's just like them too?

So, what are you interested in?

I'll answer anything I can, so feel free to ask.

Thank you very much.

I'll do just that then.

I'd love to hear about Japan's hentai culture.

Kitahara Ryokan

Hentai culture...?

Oh!

Don't take it the wrong way.

I'm doing research on Hokusai's erotica.

Oh, Hokusai Katsushika?

I hear his works are popular overseas.

I'm not familiar with them, so I may not be of much help.
