The oppressive rainy season is finally over...

I've gotten used to living with Ichiko-chan and my daily life at Seio Academy.

I truly believed that this peaceful life would continue.

It's summer.

Oneesama!

Oneesama!

Won't you join us?

Yes...

Summer.

Please come with me, amen.

I'll give you anything, my love.

Never failing days.

My heart full up, so love, love, love...

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

To fall in love with someone...

That's a big deal. It can even change the future.

Like a bunch of flowers blooming... ...bursting in my heart.

Strong winds and rain won't beat me.

It's not always pretty.

I want to reach for the person I love.

Love is the energy of life.

The sweet burning blossoms of love...

...bloom under its shining power.

It's a gift from God.

Ah, love...

Capprezio on a Summer Day

Not bad.

Wow! That's so cute! It's gorgeous!

It looks great on you!

That's not so great.

What a great hip-wrap!

Sarong, it's a sarong.

This is the most natural.

But you can't wear a different style of bathing suit from everyone else.

What should we do?

But there's no way I can wear this.

Fine then! We'll have to use the special strategy!

What strategy?

Mizuho-chan, listen very closely to what I have to say...

...and do exactly as I say.

Got it?

Athletic prep room

E-Excuse me.

Yes, Miyanokouji-san. Can I help you?

Um... I...

You see... About g-gym class...

T-Thank you very much!

I-1 feel like my life just got shorter.

Um...

Mizuho-chan, your face.

Oh, shoot.

No, not that.

Oh, right.

Ow, ow, ow...

Mizuho-san, are you all right?

It's Mizuho-chan's girl day.

I see.

My flow is on the heavy side too, so I can sympathize.

Um, Shion-san...

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

No, it's not that, you know. Mizuho-chan is...

Oh my! Mizuho-san has been such a lady lately that I'd forgotten!

Hear that!

Isn't that great, Mizuho-chan?

My chances of resurrecting my manhood are slipping away.

Resurrection

Shion-san, are you all better?

Yes. I can't do much...

...but I did get permission to splash around a bit.

That's great.

But it's too bad that Mizuho-san can only observe.

I'm sure the other girls feel the same way too.

Everyone wants to see their beloved oneesama in a bathing suit!

Look...

Mizuho-chan!

Hey!

Hey! Mariya-san!

I'm so sorry.

It looks fun.

But I have to sit this out.

Girls have it rough.

The 2nd swimming class

Oneesama is sitting this one out too.

Yeah. Too bad.

The 3rd swimming class

Oneesama is observing again today.

When do we get to see her in a bathing suit?

Is there a special reason?

It's hot.

Student Council Office

What!

Oneesama?

Yes.

I checked it out myself to make sure.

Oneesama has sat out all three swimming classes.

Some of the students are saying she's staging a boycott.

For an Elder to do such a thing!

If this is true, it's going to be an issue.

What shall we do, President?

I'm so tired. My legs are weak.

Mariya-san, you go at it too hard every time.

Well, you're at an age with a lot of energy.

Mizuho-san, you should join us next time.

Who me?

Of course, everyone is looking forward to it.

Oneesama.

Takako-san!

Takako!

Good day.

Is something the matter?

Oneesama, there is something I'd like to ask you.

Can I have a moment?

No, no, no! Mizuho-chan has to...

Oneesama, I will be blunt about this.

Yes, what is it?

There is a rumor going around that you are boycotting swimming class.

Is this true?

Oh, there are already rumors?

For you, with such superior athletic abilities...

...to boycott swimming class...

...asbadasitis, I can only come to one conclusion.

You claim to have girl days, but...

I'm busted!

N-Not good!

You're hiding the fact that you can't swim!

I...see...uh-huh.

I guess that makes sense.

I'm right, aren't 1?

I understand that as you're so good at everything else...

...it's embarrassing to admit that you can't swim.

But since you can't swim, that's all the more reason to take lessons.

Admitting your weaknesses...

...and working on them is the example that you should set as an Elder.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Um...

The student body president has such good ideas...

...Is what I like to say, but unfortunately, Takako...

...you couldn't be more wrong!

What?

Mizuho-chan isn't sitting out swimming classes...

...for a silly reason like not being able to swim.

Mizuho-chan is...

...afraid of water.

She's so terrified of water that if she went into the pool, she'd die of shock!

No way.

I'd like to hear the details.

F-Fine!

It's a deep-seated trauma.

One summer day when we were still kids...

...we were walking along the river when Mizuho-chan slipped.

Mizuho-chan, grab this!

Oh no! Mizuho-chan!

Oh no! Mizuho-chan!

Since then, never mind pools, Mizuho-chan avoids even puddles!

I-l had no idea...

I think, I'm not sure...

Everyone has things that they are morbidly afraid of!

Look at you, every time you see a frog, you burst into tears!

Well, that's...

And knowing that, you hid frogs in my desk, didn't you, Mariya-san?

Th-That was just a child's cute little prank.

Yes, if it was one or two...

But you...

That would be scary.

That's Mariya for you.

Mariya-san, you don't know when to stop.

I just wanted you to face your fears. My intention was kindhearted!

Then the same could be said for Mizuho-san.

I will not accept that our esteemed school Elder...

...makes no effort to overcome her fears and hides.

Makes no effort?

This, coming from you who turned your back on your club...

...to run for student council?

Are you still holding a grudge about that?

Not really.

I'm just asking...

...who was it who ran out on her club responsibilities to run for student council.

I see.

I understand.

If I prove that I know what it means to make an effort to produce results...

...then you will understand?

If you can prove it.

Fine! I accept your challenge.

What are your terms?

What?

It isn't fair for us to compete in my area of strength...

So...

...we'll compete in swimming.

How's that?

Fine.

It will take place on the first day of summer break.

We'll borrow the school pool.

Any problems with that?

Don't run away.

You neither!

Huh? I thought this was about me...

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

Damn that Takako!

She's so pigheaded!

Well, 1 did sit out swimming class. She's not entirely wrong.

You're too nice!

Wait, you still don't get it.

What?

Who Takako really is.

Takako's last name is Itsukushima.

The Kaguragi Conglomerate's biggest business rival.

She's a daughter of the Itsukushima Group.

I see.

Takako-san is the granddaughter of the CEO of the Itsukushima group.

Kaguragi?

But you and Sachiho-oneesama are Miyanokouiji's, right?

Yes. I'm using my mother's last name while I'm here.

So maybe she doesn't realize that you're from a rival family.

Yet she attacks without evening knowing that!

That's what's so scary about her animalistic instinct!

Y-You think?

Regardless, Takako and I are going head to head sooner or later.

It is an unchangeable part of my destiny.

Could it be that Mariya-oneesama has a grudge against Takako-san?

Something about a club activity...

I'm going to have to beat her so bad that it leaves no question in her mind!

I have to train!

Yukari! Yukari, where are you?

She's so gung-ho.

I wonder if she's okay.

President, three more laps.

Since that day, both Mariya and Takako started training intensely every day.

They both seem to be working very hard.

I hear they don't miss a single day.

I've never seen Mariya-oneesama work this hard, even before a meet.

It just means that she's extra serious about this match.

But those two...

Yeah, I think we might need to do something so they don't go overboard.

But what exactly can we do?

Leave it to me.

Huh!

Kei-san?

After the Ottoman Empire's failed attempt in 1683...

Takako-san, would you like to have lunch together after this?

I was surprised that you would invite me.

Such a possibility didn't even enter my mind.

Really?

I always wanted to have a chance to chat with you.

I'm sure this all seems completely silly to you.

My and Mariya's feud...

I just wonder why you need to push yourself so hard.

In addition to training...

...you're still fulfilling your responsibilities as student body president.

As president, it's a given.

I can't shun my duties for personal reasons.

But you're going to get run-down.

And this is partly my fault...

At this point, it's not just about you.

It must be our fate for Mariya and I to compete.

I don't think it's unreasonable to see it as destiny.

Destiny, huh?

Mariya-san said something similar.

Mariya-san?

Yes.

But we didn't discuss the most important thing.

Huh?

Well, yes...

I was once asked to join the track-and-field team.

What?

It's not that I didn't want to join...

...but it overlapped with my new term in student council.

I thought about it, but in the end, I turned down their invitation.

So that's how it was.

I'm sure she couldn't forgive me for that.

Since then, she's treated me...

...like a traitor who sold her soul to the student council.

But you decided that after determining you'd be spreading yourself too thin.

Oneesama...

Knowing you, I just assumed that was the case.

But she doesn't understand that!

This is the perfect opportunity.

I'll beat her and prove to her that...

...I didn't run away from hard work or that I shunned club activities.

In a way, it's closure for you having turned down the track team's invitation.

I'm so glad. You're exactly how I thought you'd be.

Oneesama...

It's strange.

Why is it that you're so understanding?

Oneesama...

Takako-san...

She must have been so tired.

She's so serious.

President!

Oneesama, wh-what have you d-done to the president?

How dare you use such tactics to push her out!

This is dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!

Look...

I don't care that you are an Elder...

...as a member of student council, I...

Shut up!

She had a fainting spell.

If you're really worried about her...

...bring me a towel or a handkerchief soaked in cold water.

Hurry!

Yes!

There are a lot of issues...

...but I like you, Takako-san.

The fated day arrived.

We will finally settle this.

No matter what the outcome, don't complain.

That's my line.

You had better be prepared.

Fine. Let's do this!

Wh-What...

What is this?

Takako vs. Mariya Now that the two are here...

...let the games begin!

The two fated rivals in their heated competition.

The rapid-boil Mariya Mikado versus the ice queen Takako Itsukushima.

The two will compete in many different games in the pool.

President, I tried to stop them!

Please believe me!

Mariya-oneesama, you're beautiful!

Good luck to you both!

Wh-Who did this?

I did.

Well, what should we do, Mariya-san?

What choice do we have...

...but to do it!

We just have to do it then!

I will not lose to you no matter what the competition.

Me neither!

Go, President!

They are in a virtual tie!

Fight!

A-Are they okay?

Good luck to you both.

Why you, why you!

Take this!

How's this!

Haiyal!

And so began our fun-filled summer vacation.

Greetings.

Regardless of the outcome, I was inspired by your efforts.

I, Mizuho Miyanokouiji...

...have begun working on overcoming my fear of water.

I found you. That alone means it's a beautiful day.

I wish that every day could be like this.

I woke up before my alarm, good morning.

I can't stop smiling. I'm filled with anticipation.

Maybe today I'll find the courage.

And just say, "How are you?" like that.

I found you. That alone means it's a beautiful day.

I wish that every day could be like this.

Being close to you would make it a more beautiful day.

Yes, tomorrow I will find the courage to say hello.

OtoBoku

Kei-san, did you see this morning's bulletin board?

Yes, the claim.

Mizuho-san and Mariya-san...

...and even Shion-sama are making a claim against the student council...

It's almost a direct assault against Takako-san.

The next general assembly is going to be a mess.

What's the topic?

Next time on OtoBoku...

Little Kana and a Big Ribbon.

It's a typhoon in October.
