Where Cherry Blossoms Flutter

Do you know?

Hmm...

That helps a lot. Thank you!

Hello.

You're talking to me...?

Yeah.

Hello!

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

Is there something on my face?

It's nothing.

Hey, who are...

What are you?

Huh? Utamaru?

So that's your name?

Utamaru!

Newspaper Club

Here you go.

The tea you make is always delicious, Rukawa-san.

My father's been teaching me since I was little.

I see.

The leaves are ones my father specially imported from England, too.

That's going all-out, isn't it?

I'm so happy we can drink such good tea every day.

I really am, too.

Sorry for the wait.

It smells great in here again today.

I'll go prepare yours, too!

Thank you.

Now,

let's get started!

The events surrounding the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree, huh?

I was thinking of asking the teachers about it tomorrow.

The teachers?

They say the cherry blossoms wilted only about 20 years ago,

so I imagine lots of our teachers know about it.

That's true, they might give us a hint.

And you, Nii-san?

I think I'm going to try looking through old records in the library.

Oh, so we won't be together tomorrow, will we?

It's that girl...

What a strange girl.

Nii-san, what's wrong?

Oh, no.

Nothing.

Wait! Utamaru!

Utamaru?

Utamaru?

U-ta-ma-ru?

Hey! Utamaru!

Utamaru?

Utamaru!

Ah, hey, don't struggle!

Now, what shall we play next?

A Change in Hatsune Island?! Continuous Reports of Mysterious Phenomena

Rockslide: An Omen of Major Accidents to Come?! Frequent Mysterious Accidents!

The Cause of the Change?! Legends of the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree!

All of these incidents occurred right before the cherry blossoms wilted...?

Emergency Report!! Evil Alien Invasion?!

Wind-up Robot?!

Monsters Lurking in the Forest!

This Issue's Big Scoop!! Modern Day Ninja Uncovered?!

Unofficial Newspaper

The unofficial newspaper?!

What is that doing in here?!

Wait, the unofficial newspaper has been around that long?

Naturally.

The unofficial newspaper is an honored and long-standing club!

But if there were this many incidents and accidents happening...

Hey! What are you doing ignoring me?!

Mysterious Girl Spotted Near the Accident Sites!

Mysterious Girl Spotted in School?!

"A mysterious girl"...

Girl, huh?

She's probably in her thirties now.

Wait! Why do I have to talk to you about this?!

Keep your voice down in the library.

In the first place, you and I are both rivals fighting over Suginami-sama,

so I can understand you might be hostile towards me, but...

Hey! Are you listening?!

Get back! You're too close!

B-Be quiet!

Y-You're the one who isn't listening to me!

Y-You're a pretty cute girl yourself,

so could you please, um, be a bit more careful?

Cu-Cu-Cute?! Wh-Wh-What...?!

S-Seduction won't work on me, got it?!

"A mysterious girl," huh?

That was close...

You need to be careful.

Utamaru!

Utamaru?

Thank you!

A girl?

Did you see a girl like that shortly before the cherry blossoms wilted?

Hmm, don't know.

I heard people talking about that, but I never saw such a girl.

I see.

I did hear that the Cherry Blossom would grant

your wish if you asked it to, but...

But those are just rumors, right?

Is this just a rumor, too?

What's wrong?

Utamaru...

Utamaru?

Utamaru's gone!

I can't find him anywhere!

Utamaru?

Utamaru?

Utamaru!

Utamaru!

Utamaru...

Utamaru...

Where are you, Utamaru?

Don't worry.

I'm sure we'll find him.

Really?

Utamaru!

Utamaru...

Utamaru!

I was worried about you!

He climbed a tree and got stuck.

Oh, Utamaru, what were you doing?

Thank you.

Still...

That's an awfully strange... cat?

Utamaru is Utamaru.

I... see.

Utamaru, don't make your friends worry about you, okay?

Speaking of which, what's your name?

Huh? Hmm...

Sakura!

Sakura?

That sound was...

N-No, that didn't come from me! It was Utamaru!

Wow!

But I wonder if stuff like this is enough to fill you up.

Which do you want?

It's delicious!

I see.

You want some too, Utamaru? All right, then.

Here.

Your cat eats manju...

Still, you're pretty strange, Sakura, for liking Japanese sweets.

Well, it's kind of old...

They're not old, they're sweet.

That's not what I meant...

That was good.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Now that I'm full, let's play!

Let's play!

"Let's play"?

You got me.

How's this? It's a katana!

A katana?

We're undercover constables, and Utamaru's the evil magistrate!

Got it?

What kind of setting is this?

Draw thy sword and fight honorably!

None shalt bury thee in death!

Prepare thyself, Utamaru!

Sakura!

Now let's play tag!

All right!

I'm really good at tag!

Huh?

When did I fall asleep?

You were worn out from playing so much.

I see...

It's beautiful...

Aren't you cold? We should get going.

Wait, just a little longer...

Utamaru, wait!

We need to head home soon.

Huh?

The sun's already gone down.

Here.

Oh, right!

There's still one more left...

Wow! Thank you!

I'll be going, then!

I'll see you home.

I'll be fine!

But...

I'm sure we'll meet again.

Later, Onii-chan!

"Onii-chan"?

Let's go, Utamaru!

"Onii-chan," huh?

Sakura's a really strange girl.

Onii-chan...

Utamaru! That's mine! Give it back!

Hey! Utamaru!

A Place One Wants to Be Forever

Those manju were delicious, weren't they?

I hope we can play with Onii-chan again!

Long ago, we were...

Onee-chan looks sad...

Next time: A Place One Wants to Be Forever

Hey, smile.

I'm scared!
