Chichibu Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo

Here, Ibuki.

Please take this sake. I think you'll like it.

What? You're giving it to me?

Y-Yeah.

Thanks, Gujo-senpai!

If you'd like, we could have some togeth—

I'll make sure to savor it slowly.

Ah!

What is it?

Oh, never mind.

I couldn't get it out this time, either...

Gujo-senpai?

A little early to be drinking, isn't it?

Care to join me, Kamiina-san?

Did something happen?

Kamiina-san.

If you happen to be free, would you spend some more time with me?

What?

Welcome to Scenic Chichibu

Welcome to Scenic Chichibu

A liquor store?

Yes, it should be around here.

Not done drinking yet?

I'm not buying liquor to drink now.

Oh.

Liquor

Kaedeya

This is the place.

Welcome!

Look at all of these bottles!

This is my first time in a liquor store!

Truth be told, it's my first time as well.

Huh? What about the sake from the other day?

I bought it online.

I'd have preferred to visit a store so I could ask the staff questions...

But I chickened out at the idea of entering alone as a woman.

I know what you mean.

Why not try asking our RA to go with you?

I brought it up once before...

but she really seemed to be against the idea.

Maybe Ibuki's not one to mingle with others.

The two of us drank together, so I don't think that's it.

What? When was this?!

It was a good time.

Menacing

Menacing

No more sneaking behind my back in the future.

Behind your back? I would never...

Menacing

Got it?

Of course!

U-Um...

I figured she was harmless, but I need to keep an eye on her!

O-Oh, right.

Gujo-senpai, what kind of alcohol were you looking to buy?

One that Ibuki will drink with me!

That's not very helpful...

How about something a little out of the ordinary, then?

I like it. The only problem is...

I have no idea what would fit the bill.

Me neither.

Let's ask an employee for help.

I don't mind doing that.

But let's take a look around by ourselves first.

These bottles come in all shapes and sizes.

And I never noticed before how interesting the labels can be!

So many fancy designs, and some of these are Japanese but have foreign names.

"Taxi Driver."

Is it named after the movie?

One Hundred Years of Solitude is the name of a South American novel, isn't it?

Is that sake?

Honkaku Shochu Hyakunen no Kodoku

Um, this is... shochu!

Shochu?

I tried sake last time, so that might work.

Gujo-senpai, have you ever had shochu before?

Nope!

Me neither!

I'm afraid to buy a bottle when I have no idea what it tastes like.

Please feel free to try a sample first.

What?

You offer samples?

They're not free, so we're what you would call a kaku-uchi.

Kaku-uchi

services available

1:00-8:00 p.m.

"Kaku-uchi"?

It's the term for a store that lets you drink your purchases on the spot.

I'll try some of this, then.

Rokudaime Yuri

The name mentions lilies, which is cute!

Rokudaime Yuri

Oh, it does seem flamboyant!

"Flamboyant"?

Could we have two cups, please?

I recommend it on the rocks.

We'll go with that!

Kaedeya Liquor

I'll be back in a moment.

Sure!

It looks like they sell drinkware and such here too, not just alcohol.

Gujo-senpai, how about a pair of matching sake cups for you and the RA?

A matching set? Oh, I could never!

You can use them as an excuse to drink with her.

Um...

Oh! What were these called again?

It started with an H, I think? Hi...

Hip Flask

Hit that... Hot...

Hot...

Hot pot, sukiyaki style, would hit the spot with some sake...

Where'd that come from?

Should we have sukiyaki for dinner with everyone at the dorm?

Sure!

Thanks for your patience.

Rokudaime Yuri, on the rocks!

Yes!

Thank you.

Intense

Intense

That's intense! A punch of sweet potato!

Rokudaime Yuri's not exactly for the faint of heart.

More, please!

Right away.

That was fast!

It's got a real bite, but I also taste the faint sweetness of the potato.

Shochu's pretty great, actually.

Gujo-senpai!

Let's take this one home with us!

I think our RA will probably like it!

Wow, she can tell all that?

Here you are!

Are you sure you don't want to buy the sake cups?

I can tell Ibuki won't use a matching pair with me.

You think?

But that's fine, too.

If that happens...

We can use them instead.

D-Don't be ridiculous!

Liquor

Kaedeya

Kaedeya

Let's go buy the sukiyaki ingredients!

Yay!

Please come again!

Green Tea

Rokudaime Yuri

Rokudaime Yuri

I'm sure they sell it at convenience stores.

What was that?!

Say that to my face again, Akane!

I said, how much of an airhead can you be?

There you go again!

Who are you calling an airhead?!

You're the one who asked me to repeat myself.

This is exactly what I mean.

Oh?

Well, see if I care.

I'm done talking to you!

Miss RA! Would you like to go somewhere with me?

Right now!

What?

That goes for you too, Botan-chan!

Hey, Yaeka! I never said...

Since Akane doesn't want to go with me!

Let's go, Miss RA! Botan-chan!

H-Hold on a second!

Kitamori-senpai! Where are we going?

I didn't say anything about not wanting to go...

I went too far

Sorry

Me too

Me too

Me too

Me too

Senpai.

We get off at the next stop, right?

You got it, Botan-chan.

Nagatoro's beautiful sights are waiting for us!

It'd be rude to keep them waiting!

I can't wait to get there!

Keep it down on the train, you two.

Yaeka Kitamori-senpai.

She's a third-year at my college.

Usually, she's inseparable from Akane Yusa-senpai in the same year...

We will soon arrive at Nagatoro. Nagatoro.

Me too

The doors on the left side will open.

The Most Scenic Place on Earth Nagatoro

Kitamori-senpai, it's time to get off the train!

Oh, yeah.

Me too

Me too

Me too

Me too

So this is Nagatoro Station.

Is it your first time here as well?

Yeah.

It's pretty close to Seibu-Chichibu, but the occasion never came up.

Let's get going to see those sights!

This was my first time taking a Chichibu Railway express train, but I'm glad I did.

Right?

The front- and back-facing seats make you feel like you're on vacation.

Here, three adult tickets.

Miss, could I have your express tickets as well?

It's not just basic fare tickets?

That's right.

Nagatoro Station

No one told me you needed a basic fare and an express ticket!

Did the ticket machine even sell those?!

Calm down.

Let's just be glad he let us pay at the gate.

I'm no airhead, okay?!

Local Sake

No, not today.

I'm here with Kitamori-san.

Check it out! What a stunning view!

Hard to believe this still counts as greater Tokyo.

Oh, look! A small stream!

What? Where?

The water's so cold!

These rock formations really do look like tatami mats.

I bought this on our way here.

Chichibu Beer

I have bottles for the two of you as well.

For us?!

We came all this way, so let's drink!

Is there somewhere we can sit and relax?

It's pretty windy up here.

I'm a little scared to sit so close to the cliff.

Don't you dare fall!

Nothing to liven things up like a little alcohol.

You said it.

Chichibu Beer

Not gonna have any?

I'll pass...

Kitamori-senpai, you've never been to Nagatoro either?

Nope.

I've always loved going outdoors and traveling,

and up until college, I did everything solo.

In college, I met Akane, and we were kindred spirits.

We hit it off talking about motorcycle travel shows,

and before I knew it, we were taking trips all over the place.

That's why, in order to travel even farther than we had before,

I got my motorcycle license over spring break, before starting my third year.

But Akane told me she can't ride behind me.

With zero regard for my feelings.

Is that why they were arguing this morning?

Yusa-senpai's absolutely right about that, though.

Why?!

Hey, Kamiina-san!

I mean...

You can't ride double on a motorcycle until a year after you get your license.

I'm surprised you know that.

Oh, my dad just happens to ride a motorcycle too, you see.

Chichibu Beer

I'll take you here next year

And I'm sorry

This is what I meant, Yaeka.

I'm hungry now. Wanna grab some soft-serve?

That sounds great!

Next time, let's bring Yusa-san and Gujo-senpai with us.

I'd rather it just be the two of us.

Wh-Why?!

There's no need to play dumb.

So that you can drink, of course.

What?

Hurry up, you two.

Coming!

Oh, sorry.

I swear...

Let's get going!

Wasn't the soft-serve here delicious?

Yeah.

I was thinking of buying some new clothes,

now that it's getting warmer.

Sure.

So why don't you?

Not what I'm getting at!

Never mind! Forget I said anything.

Huh?

Did I make her mad?

I wanted to go with you.

Was that so wrong of me?

N-Not at all!

Fashion stores to my right!

Fashion stores to my left!

Tokyo's a shopping paradise!

In high spirits, I see.

Kamiina-san, where's your hometown again?

I'm from Nagano!

There's a severe lack of specialty boutiques in Nagano.

Oh! I've seen this shop in a magazine!

Kamiina-san is a lot more childlike than usual today.

She's carefree as can be.

She's usually mature and thoughtful, but I guess she has this side to her too.

And when she drinks...

I'd love to make that tongue of yours mine.

I'd rather it just be the two of us.

Does that count as being a bad drunk?

Where should we go first?

What?

Oh, a shop?

Then how about...

Huh? Alcohol?

Excuse us.

Oh! Come on in, Ibuki-chan.

Is that your friend?

She's my junior from college.

Is she a regular here?

Whoa, really? Make yourselves at home.

C-Can I take a closer look at these?

Of course! Feel free to try on whatever you like.

So, Ibuki-chan... How about some bubbly wine to start with?

What?

Drinks? Inside a boutique?

Yep, inside a boutique!

Here, you can drink and shop for clothes at the same time.

We also have a selection of tasty cheeses.

She gets you drunk to loosen your purse strings.

Oh? Ibuki-chan, come out back later for a little "talk."

Tokyo's a scary place...

Is it okay if I try this on?

You betcha!

Here you go.

Thank you.

What's with that smirk on your face?

It's not every day you bring someone here.

Heck, I think it's a first.

Yeah, it might be.

You two pretty close?

Close is one word...

We drink together sometimes.

Oh? Good for you.

Let's see how you look!

Here! How is it?

Does it scream "summer"?

Oh, you look stunning!

Like a celeb on a summer getaway.

You're gonna make me blush.

So cute.

She can effortlessly pull that look off.

I feel like she'd look good in anything, really.

A glass of bubbly for our young celeb, too.

Be careful not to spill any on those clothes.

Is this white wine?

Yes, a sparkling white.

It's got such a gentle fizz to it!

This is a semi-sparkling wine.

It's light and smooth.

I feel like I could drink this all day!

The carbonation's not too harsh.

Yeah, drink up!

Don't drink it all day.

Looks like I still get the burpies.

Semi-sparkling is still carbonated.

Two peas in a pod, huh?

We sure are!

I know!

I'll pick out some good clothes for you, so please try them on!

What?

W-Wait...

Seriously? Isn't this a bit too cutesy?

Very nice! You look great in that!

Summer's come early in this shop!

You're always wearing baggy clothes, so it's a nice change.

I can't relax in this...

I think you look fantastic.

A perfect fit.

I know! Are your ears pierced?

I have some cute earrings in right now.

Mine aren't pierced.

Me neither.

Can we still take a look?

Starfish!

Stars!

Starfish!

Stars!

So cute!

So cute!

Aren't they, though?

Miss RA.

Why don't we get our ears pierced together and wear these?

Then we'll match.

M-Matching?!

You're against it?

I'll pierce them real gently.

Why are you assuming you'll be doing it?!

What's wrong with it being me?!

I never said it would be.

So you're okay with it!

She sure is a mean drunk.

Should I hold on to these earrings, then?

Yes!

Sure...
