W-We're from the Science Club.

We're selling preserved flower accessories...

During autumn of my eighth year of school,

I understood for the first time that the sales industry isn't child's play.

In the end, I could only sell five.

Only five out of a hundred for a whole day...

SCIENCE LABORATORY Maybe I could sell them all tomorrow...

SCIENCE LABORATORY Nah, who am I kidding?

Nah, who am I kidding?

Oh, you're finally back!

FLOWER ACCESSORIES ON SALE!

Where have you been?

You're Yuu Natsume from the Science Club, right?

Th-That I am...

You can't leave your store empty.

The girls were here to see the merchandise.

For real?

Nah, it's okay.

Why?

I bet these wouldn't sell either way.

Wouldn't make a difference.

Thing is, the products sold like crazy...

Here, 15 people came visit.

We sold 27 in total.

27?! That many?!

Thanks...

Hey, Natsume. Why aren't you looking at me?

No reason...

I'm just not fond of pretty girls.

Hey, why do you have to sell 100 accessories?

Huh?

How do you know?

Your advisor, Mr. Sato, told me.

My privacy...

Hey, why?

Such silent pressure...

As if she's saying, "I, a cute girl, am telling you to spill it, so do so!"

or something...

She sure is cute, but I feel like she'll ridicule me if I tell the truth...

I hope to become a flower accessory maker.

But my parents told me to become a public servant instead.

So we got in a fight,

and I wanted to prove them wrong by selling 100 accessories during the culture festival...

Huh?

Ouch! That's cold!

Well, duh!

Any parent would stop their kid from having such a reckless life plan!

So silly!

Sh-Shut up!

You really are silly.

Hey, we just met today!

I shouldn't have told you this.

Who are you, anyway?

Hey, how many accessories are left?

68, I guess?

I guess that should do it...

I'll make the preparations to sell them all tomorrow.

Leave the marketing to me, Himari Inuzuka!

SOFT WINDFLOWER AND QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

Hey, Himari!

These earrings look so good!

Where can I buy these?

Oh, those are custom-made.

Here.

You can buy it here at an online store called "You".

Wow, thanks!

Hey, what should we do?

Two years since that culture festival.

Back then, on the second day,

I was able to sell all the flower accessories I prepared thanks to Himari.

I now mail order the accessories I advertise...

...as a convenience store business I run at home.

Since a minor starting a business on his own...

...can pose a lot of problems.

It's a hassle, but I get paid for procuring the flowers,

so I can't complain.

It's like I'm in my own world,

separated from the real world out there.

Anyway, I love when I'm alone like this.

My sisters tell me I'm introverted,

but I was born like this.

I am a creator.

I can only embrace myself by loving solitude.

Okay...

Wow, it's looking cute as always!

Himari, don't hug me when I'm working!

I mean, I've been here for an hour, but you kept ignoring me!

That's enough work for today!

I've had enough excitement from looking at your sparkling eyes,

so it's time to close the store!

I haven't done the other part yet!

Oh, getting flustered, are we?

"I'm sharing the bestest blessing for being able to get me for you alone,

so you should be more excited!" Is that what she's implying?

Well, she is super cute, though...

I was reminiscing that culture festival back in middle school.

You had long hair back then, right?

Well, I could say you've grown taller since then, huh?

Anyway, would you get off me now?

No can do. This is my exclusive seat.

My neck! Not my neck!

You're the man with the best neck to hug in Japan,

and I'm the woman with the best arms to be hugged with in Japan!

Well, I'd say you're too thin to call yourself that!

I give!

- All right, let's go home! - This is our daily life.

Yeah, yeah.

- Okay, Himari. - The miniature garden...

- Let's do the roll call. - ...we built in two years.

Why did you help me?

I wasn't trying to.

Huh?

I just thought I wanted to sell them. That's why I helped you.

Don't get me wrong here.

Is that...

Let's do it!

Huh?

I'll help out with your flower accessory store!

Help out?

I was actually after this choker you gave me as a gift.

I had always been watching you poured the resin in the science lab.

Huh? From where?

From the window in the hall. I even called you once there.

You gave me a cold shoulder, though.

Also, I know you're the one tending to the flowers in the back garden.

You even gave each flower a name,

and cried like a baby every time you cut one.

You saw that?

So, I was just planning on only buying this,

but I never thought this was actually quite tragic.

So I impulsively used my once-in-a-lifetime wish to my brother.

Once-in-a-lifetime?

It's really important stuff.

So I want you to take responsibility for this.

Responsibility?

How, exactly?

Give me those eyes.

Eyes...

Whoops.

I'm not into gory stuff, okay?

I know that...

I love when your eyes are sparkling from making the accessories.

They're so straightforward and pretty.

Eyes...

So please, only show those passionate eyes to me.

Let me hog them all for myself.

Then, I'll sell your accessories for as many as you want.

We share a common destiny.

Let's be BFFs!

BFFs...

The soft windflower expresses "friendship" and "cooperation".

Never to get separated.

By the way, Himari. How'd the offer from the talent agency the other day go?

I turned it down.

I won't be able to promote your accessories if I accept it.

That's a waste.

Well, we are BFFs, after all.

If you can't open a store by the time you're thirty,

then you must take responsibility and marry me.

Could you stop that?

Ever since you keep saying that, Hibari keeps calling me "Lil' Bro", it's starting to hurt.

My bro just loves you so much.

If you hate, you can just marry someone first.

Marriage, huh...

But you gotta hook up first.

Still can't forget your first love, eh? That was back in primary school, right?

Or maybe the girl you met on your trip was just your delusion?

Talk about creepy.

Sh-Shut it.

Your delusional side is what makes you charming,

but get a real girl already.

Why don't you date someone?

You keep clinging to me at school,

no one would dare approach me.

Oh? But I always get me boyfriends every now and then.

You just lack pheromones, bro.

The people you dumped keep spreading weird rumours, though.

Must be because I kept talking about you,

even when with my boyfriends.

I didn't date them because I liked them, anyway. More like, killing time?

I really can't agree with that side of yours...

I just can't get myself to be romantic yet.

Hey, are you really not planning on getting hitched until I get married?

Nope. Although, my parents might match me with someone.

If you won't marry me.

Don't pin this on me!

But I'll be marrying an old fart!

My young body will be defiled by his greasy hands...

Sometimes, you say something that'd creep out even guys.

Are marriage interviews even still a thing?

They are.

Worst case scenario, I'll get married right after high school...

After all, I'm a daughter of a famous family for generations.

A political marriage would be possible.

Well, I could at least be your shelter when that happens.

Since we're BFFs.

Kidding! This ain't the time for such thing anymore!

You read way too many lewd novels!

You're the one who said the greasy hands stuff!

Daifuku...

ORDER DETAILS Don't bother me today, okay?

Um, the recipient...

I wish all guys were like you.

Romance stuff sure is a hassle.

Also, I can't seem to get romantic either.

What about you? Got a girlfriend yet?

No way I would with this hobby.

Figures.

Aren't we the same in a way?

I don't think we can get married like normal people.

Oh, right! If we're still single until thirty,

want to live with me for life?

Huh? Well, putting aside the abrupt approach, why thirty?

It's like a temporary borderline.

That we should do our best until we can open the store without distractions.

If we're still alone by thirty, then marry me.

I don't want to be with you.

I prefer a more graceful girl.

You're the best, Yuu! I think this is the first time I got dumped!

Hey!

- Yippee! - What are you doing!

- Yippee! - Stop it!

Here's the share for today, Sis.

My brother...

I told you to text me first before coming.

Ah, sorry.

Also, about the products Himari is advertising...

We seem to be getting more orders, so I hope you can compensate for the flowers.

Yeah.

Hey, are you going out with that guy always with you?

You two don't seem to be a match.

Does that concern you?

Uh, well...

What a stupid dude.

Those who don't understand Yuu's worth have no right to judge our value.

Can a boy-girl relationship survive?

Yes, it can.

If it can't, then what is this that I'm feeling?

Is the feeling of wanting to support his dream...

...so that I can kiss him or have sex with him?

If I wanted to kiss him, I wouldn't be so roundabout about it.

I want the girl who becomes his girlfriend to accept our relationship.

If we have to say goodbye when he has a girl,

that in itself would be lonely.

I should buy one for Himari too...

She's pretty hot...

Oh, shoot. She noticed my staring.

By the way, I'm not fond of pretty girls, but I'm into them.

I know it's pretty contradicting,

but point is, they can become good reference for an accessory's motif.

If she were to wear something, it should be something from the neck down.

If I had to match with her pale nails...

A bracelet?

That queen of the night flower... The one I sold during the culture festival.

There was no one else but Himari buying that one...

Ah...

No way?! How could it come off?!

I can fix that.

I wonder why...

But I kept staring at the black-haired girl's pretty face.

To be honest, I wouldn't even be able to peek at someone I just met...

Hey.

Huh?

What's your deal?

Sorry, I just thought it might be important to you...

Forget it!

That was tough...

I bet Himari would make a big deal out of this if she heard it!

I won't tell her for life! I'll keep this to my grave!

You have the nominative cases, the modifiers, the appositions,

LISTEN TO THE LECTURE, OKAY? the case particles and the conjunctive cases.

MAYBE SHE'S YOUR DESTINY? so be sure to distinguish them well.

WANT ME TO RECORD YOUR BEING TURNED DOWN? They'll be in the exam.

They'll be in the exam.

Hey, don't ignore me!

This is a matter worth ignoring!

You think I'd catch this childish bait?!

Natsume.

Don't disturb Inuzuka trying to study.

But why?!

Isn't it a good thing that someone is still keeping your first generation accessory?

Well, yeah.

But was she a customer?

Natsume, someone's here for you.

Hey, Natsu.

I'm here to play.

Oh, what's up, playboy?

Such a bold greeting.

That's why I love you.

It's you, Makishima! What's up?

Hey, Himari. How are you doing?

I'm enjoying my school life today as well.

Thanks to you.

Glad to hear that.

It was worth lending my Natsu to you.

Thank you for always hanging out with my Yuu too.

Hang on. Why are they competing over their ownership of me so intensely?

Hey, weren't you two dating in middle school?

Why are you so hostile to each other?

Even though I was just killing time with him, I don't want to reminisce my past with him.

You hate me so much, don't you? Did I do something wrong?

Makishima was five-timing,

I got resented and super bullied by them!

You didn't even like me, so it's your own fault for accepting my confession out of curiosity.

- A just dessert for comparing me

- What a total douchebag. - A just dessert for comparing me

- What a total douchebag. - to the average guys!

- Even his way of moving on is mellow. - to the average guys!!

Right back at you!

Didn't you have business here?

Oh, right.

Natsu, didn't you approach a girl by the vending machines yesterday?

A girl?

Ah...

Could she be your girlfriend?

Nah, that's not it.

Hey, Rin. Aren't you going to let him fix your bracelet?

Ah...

Hello.

It's you, Enocchi!

Huh?

Hii?

I can't believe you were looking for Enocchi...

I wasn't actually looking for her, though...

That's the countryside for you. What a small world.

Enomoto becomes Enocchi, and Rion becomes Rin.

I also didn't know you were childhood friends with Makishima.

Enocchi and I were in different middle schools.

We used to play together a few times every year in primary school.

Her sister and my brother were schoolmates...

Oh, I think she's related to you.

Huh? Me?

I mean, on the second day of the festival,

the one who promoted your accessories and sold them all...

It was Enocchi's sister, who was a reader model.

She's already popular now, appearing in CMs and magazines, though.

Maybe it's a hand-me-down from her?

That would be plausible...

But I don't know if she noticed that I made it.

Um, could you show me your bracelet?

Here.

The joint parts are deteriorating...

I can handle this with similar parts.

Don't tell me you can't fix it?

Uh...

Stop, Enocchi!

What?

Yuu is a scaredy-cat, but he's doing his best for someone he just met.

Don't be so cold to him.

I'm not really...

But the furrows between your eyebrows are something.

Here.

Enocchi?

You okay?

You said you can fix it, so hurry up!

- Gosh, this is the worst! - I can't believe she stumbled so vigorously...

- You said it could be fixed soon! - This girl is, how should I say it...

Always a klutz, aren't you?

She had to spell it out!

That one was definitely your fault!

I mean, that one was actually your...

Always so insensitive...

You also took my precious keychains and toys!

Enocchi!

- I give, I give! - Wow!

- Gaaaaah! - That Himari is actually being pinned down...

I should learn this stance too.

Even right when we had our first PE in high school!

That was a sudden impulse!

The chance to grab something so enormous...

...can't possibly come twice...

Second chance.

What are you doing?! Stop that!

You'd do this when shown something like this before you, right?!

No way! Why would you say that in front of the owner?!

You can't just run away by yourself!

Shut up!

I'm going to settle my long-standing grudge here!

I GROPE MY FRIEND'S TITS (AGAIN) TODAY

I think we should replace this part.

We can keep the queen of the night resin as it is.

Okay.

I'll start, then.

Hii, he's...

Once he starts working, he's always like this.

When it comes to accessories, he's a focus demon.

He won't respond to you even if you're next to him.

Want to try it?

Try?

It's done...

What?

Look at your hair...

What did you do, Himari?!

You screamed like a girl!

I can't get these off!

Do something, will you?!

What are even these?!

Ow, ow, oww!

Hii, that's so mean!

You're also complicit in this, Enomoto!

What do you think?

Thank you.

I'll go home before it rains.

See ya.

You could just take the bus with us.

Hii, what's your relationship with him?

You mean Yuu? We're friends since middle school.

You're not dating?

Oh? Could he be your type?

N-No!

Well, his eyes when making accessories are the best sight to behold.

Although, I can't seem to convince her.

Perhaps I won't be able to break away from Yuu.

Best friends forever.

Maybe it will end...

...when Yuu stops making accessories.

Oh, shoot. It's pouring.

Hey, Hii.

Is there someone who confessed to you but you don't know their face?

Come again?

Like, a friend online?

I guess it's close to that.

Mom used to say this to me.

That only kind people can make something that touches the heart.

BUS Your family runs

BUS a Western confectionery shop, after all.

BUS Are we talking about making things here?

BUS Also, what's your relationship

BUS with your online friend?

BUS I didn't know their face.

BUS But I somehow knew that they're somewhere near.

BUS Really? How do you...

I mean...

The accessories they make were always on your pictures.

Hey, could we...

The "You" who made that accessory...

That's Natsume, right?

I think I was greedy.

I thought only I could understand Yuu's greatness.

The fact that I think our friendship holds the utmost value...

...is just me being selfish.
