Well, Nii-san, how do I look?

A Place One Wants to Be Forever

It's cold.

The cherry blossoms may be in bloom,

but I guess spring's still far off.

Himeno sure is late today.

I wonder if she caught a cold.

Himeno, I'm coming in.

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh—

Why?!

N-No, those pink panties weren't coming out,

so I started thinking you might be over-Himenoing,

or that you might be bedridden with a cold bra or...

I-I see you're maturing as a woman, too, Himeno.

Onii-san's very proud of you! Yes!

So, is that all you have to say?

Now, how long are you planning to ogle me?

No, I mean...

I wasn't trying to peek!

Just hurry up and get out!

I-I'm sorry!

I-I got a real good look...

I should probably go on ahead...

Receiving Mail...

Make sure you wait for me, okay?

I have a lot to talk to you about.

If you go on ahead of me,

I'll kill you, Nii-san!

Good grief. Nii-san, you horny perv.

You have no delicacy.

I said I'm sorry.

Y-You're not allowed to remember what you just saw, either, got it?

Please forget about it quickly!

W-Well... It is true that I was about to be late,

so I'll overlook it this time.

Thanks.

S-Speaking of which, the bus is a lot more crowded

when we miss our usual one, isn't it?

It's unusual for you to oversleep.

Did you pull an all-nighter last night?

No, that isn't the case,

but it seems I turned my alarm off in my sleep.

Are your manners okay?

Well, I guess everyone has those days.

Are you all right, Himeno?

Y-Yes,

I'm fine.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

A pedestrian jumped into the street, so we made a sudden stop.

Resuming now.

U-Um... Nii-san?

I'm fine now, so...

Oh! Sorry!

No, um, thank you.

Mathematics N Test

Nii-san!

Excuse me, Katsuragi-san?

Oh, yes? What is it?

Katsuragi-san, if you'd like,

would you join us for karaoke after school?

We've found a cheap place!

I'm sorry, I have club activities after class.

Oh well, then.

Katsuragi-san's popular with the girls too, isn't she?

Maybe I should give a shot at asking her out, too?

The #1 "girl I want to make into my bride," huh?

Hey, Kiyotaka, let's hit the cafeteria.

Oh, sure.

Well, why don't we all have lunch together, then?

Huh? Um...

Let's hurry up and eat.

So, spill the beans. How is it?

Well, it's the same udon they always serve...

Not the udon!

Progress between you and Himeno!

Huh? What's this about Himeno all of a sudden?

Don't play dumb with me.

You were just staring at her.

I wasn't really...

I want to hear this, too.

Nakayama?

Mind if I sit next to you?

I don't mind, but...

Then pardon me.

You're not with Himeno-chan and the others today?

I overslept this morning and didn't have time

to make lunch, so I had to eat here alone.

More importantly, Kiyotaka-kun, what do you think of Himeno?

What do I think?

I think she's my childhood friend.

That's not it!

We're asking if you want to do this and that to her!

I wasn't going that far...

But... Do you?

I don't think about—

How filthy!

Huh?

Newspaper Club

Now then, I'd like to begin today's meeting.

I guess we'll start with our reports from yesterday, then?

To summarize our investigation of old articles,

during the two periods in which the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree has bloomed,

there were several reports of strange people and phenomena.

What do you mean by "strange people"?

Well, a girl who can read minds,

or a girl with perfect memory, and so forth.

That's our Ricca-san!

You came up with that setting on spot!

How sad...

Hey, you underclassman!

This is what was written in the articles,

and it has nothing to do with my past life.

Sorry, my tongue slipped.

How cute, Ricca-san!

Whatever.

So, how did it go on your end, Taka-kun?

Um, well, it seems there were several

accidents and incidents with unknown causes

occurring in the months before the Cherry Blossom wilted.

Accidents with unknown causes?

Yeah.

Such occurrences kept increasing,

most drastically so in the month before it wilted.

Then, once it wilted, the accidents and incidents suddenly decreased.

We'll need to create more

detailed statistics for these incidents, then.

How did the interviews go?

Um, it appears that our former principal knew a lot

about the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree and mysterious powers.

She disappeared when the Cherry Blossom wilted the first time,

and they say she suddenly came back

to Hatsune Island about twenty years ago.

Our former principal?

What was her name?

It's an incredible coincidence, but...

It was Yoshino Sakura-san.

Yoshino...

Sakura?

Yes. And with the same kanji as your names.

Maybe you're related?

No, I've never heard of her. You, Lulu-nee?

I don't know her, either.

Sakura, Sakura...

Something about that bugs me.

This is the former principal, Yoshino Sakura-san.

Greetings from your Principal

Yoshino Sakura

Sakura...?

Sakura Shopping District

Sakura? That Sakura?

No, if she was our former principal,

then there's no way she's that young.

Nii-san.

Hey, Nii-san!

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Sheesh!

So, what is it?

Oh... Um...

I just thought it's been a while.

What has?

Y-You know...

Th-The two of us being alone together.

We go to school together every morning, don't we?

Th-That's not what I mean!

You know...

Lately, we haven't had much quiet time together.

Now that you mention it, that's true.

So...

Well...

Um...

I mean... We used to...

What's up with you?

No, i-i-it's nothing.

Well, Ricca-san has been awfully fired up lately.

N-Nii-san...

I don't care about you anymore, Nii-san!

Do what you want!

Hmph!

Why is Himeno mad at me?

Sakura?

Onii-chan!

Third Kazami Park

It's done!

Tada!

Incredible.

Incredible, isn't it?

Onii-chan?

Oh, sorry, sorry!

Onii-chan, you looked very sad.

I wasn't.

Onii-chan, good boy, good boy!

I'm here for you, so there's nothing to be sad about.

Thanks, Sakura.

All right then, Sakura, gather lots of sand.

Onii-chan, are you going to make something?

Yeah. I'm going to make something incredible.

What's that?

You'll find out when it's done.

Yay, I can't wait!

All right, Utamaru, let's gather sand!

Hey, Sakura?

Do you know Yoshino?

Yoshino?

No, it's fine if you don't know.

All right, let's make something incredible.

Yeah! I can't wait!

Lulu-nee, the bath's ready.

Okay, thanks, Taka-kun.

Himeno?

Are you awake, Nii-san? I'm waiting outside.

Hey, Nii-san.

What's up, texting this late?

Well... I-I thought it's been a while

since we spent some quiet time together, so...

Am I bothering you?

No, not really.

So, um... Want to go for a walk?

What? Were you feeling lonely or something?

O-Of course I wasn't!

It's not like that...

A-And what about you, Nii-san? Aren't you feeling lonely?

More like, a bit regretful.

Regretful?

I'm glad that we're all

having more fun together as the newspaper club, but...

It's true that you and I have had less time together.

It's kind of like...

It feels like a relationship I thought would never change

already has changed a bit...

And I regret it a little.

I see.

Nii-san, let's hold hands like we used to.

What's wrong with that? It's not like anyone's watching.

It's just... a bit embarrassing.

I-It's embarrassing for me, too, so we're even!

Come on!

This is... kind of nostalgic.

Yeah...

Let's walk, Nii-san.

Nii-san, the truth is, I...

Nii-san.

Himeno.

Just another ten, no...

Five minutes...

Himeno's late again today.

This time I'm knocking.

Himeno! Are you still asleep?

If you're changing, answer me.

Himeno, we're going to be late!

Nii-san... don't look... anymore, it's embarrassing...

Sorry!

Wait, she's sleep talking?!

Good grief, what timing...

Ah... ngh... no... Nii-san, don't...!

Jeez. Come on, Himeno, wake up!

Ngh, ah... don't be that rough...!

You won't wake up if I'm not rough.

Now come on and wake up!

Nii-san, you're really forward today...

Because we're about to be late.

Late?

Yeah.

Hey. Good morning.

It's none of my business, but I think you

should do something about the way you sleep.

J-Just get out of here right now!

You actually set your alarm clock, right?

Yes, but I guess I turned it off in my sleep.

This never happened before.

I see.

By the way, what were you dreaming about earlier?

Wha— Why do I have to tell you that, Nii-san?!

I'm curious since you slept in again.

Besides, I was in your dream, right?

You were saying something about "rough" in your sleep?

Th-That has nothing to do with you, Nii-san!

I'll never, never tell you what I was dreaming about this morning!

I see, judging by that reaction,

you must've been having an erotic dream?

Wha— I-I was not!

B-Besides, you're the one who came after me!

So you really had an erotic dream?

What kind of dreams are you having?!

I-If you come after me like that, I can't refuse, can I?!

Wh-What are you saying, idiot?!

I-I mean in my dream! D-Don't get the wrong idea!

Of course not! I wouldn't go—

What?! Y-You're saying you never would?!

N-No, that's not what I wanted to say, I...

Wh-Which is it?

Nii-san, do you...

Do you not think about doing it with me?!

A Place Where One is Not Alone

Jeez, Nii-san...

What's wrong?

Katsuragi-san, did you and Senpai...?

No, uh...

I envy you, Katsuragi-san.

Next time: A Place Where One is Not Alone.

What do you mean, you envy me?

No, no, forget it.
