I...

I-I don't know...

where I should look!

Gah!

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

FIFTH HOUR "SO? YOU LIKE OUR SWIMSUITS?"

Whoa, Amane's swimsuit is so cute!

Would you quit staring at me like that?

I'll wear a swimsuit, but I'm not going swimming.

That's fine, that's fine.

C-Cuuu...

GOING BACK ONE HOUR

Huh?

Where did I put the sunscreen?

I'm going to the beach with friends!

Here it comes!

Ah!

It's so cold!

This really is...

A dream come true!

Otaku-san?

Oh! Er, it's nothing...

Huh? Did you get a new phone?

Yes. I thought I would use it to take some nice photos today.

It'd be great if we can all take a bunch of nice pictures together.

Found it!

Do you want some sunscreen too, Otaku-kun?

Thanks a bunch.

I'm going to take lots of really great photos.

It's so hot...

Ijichi should be right around—

Hey!

Amane! Sayu-chan! Otaku-kun!

We're over here!

Her brother's ripped!

Thanks for looking out for my baby sis.

I'm her older brother Genichiro.

The blond runt here is Kakeru.

The dark-haired one is Hibiki.

Let's have fun today.

I'm no runt!

Heck no.

I'm Iji—

Kotoko-san's classmate Kei Amane.

Likewise, I'm Takuya Seo.

Thank you for including us today.

I am Kei-oneechan's chaperone for the day, Sayu Amamiya.

Sayu-chan, long time!

It has been a while, Kotoko-san.

Welp, let's start getting ready.

Ladies this way.

I'll show you where, so just follow me!

All right.

U-Um... What lovely weather we're having.

Did Sis's boyfriend act like this before?

I-I'm not her boyfriend!

Well, you know how kids can be.

I know you and her are pals. There's nothing else between you.

Oh, good. He's not as intimidating as he l—

There'd better not be.

No, he's terrifying!

I swear to God there isn't.

Cool, cool. So you haven't made a move on her or anything?

A-Absolutely not!

Huh?

Whoa!

Huh?

And why the hell not?!

Kotoko's so damn cute!

There it is!

The Gen Special!

Hey, Ijichi!

So? You like our swimsuits?

W-W-W-W-Well, oh, I don't know.

Why are you looking at Gen instead?

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

Otagal.

Ijichi, is this a good spot?

Yeah, thanks.

Otaku-kun, you can leave that there.

Okay.

YAKISOBA

Cool.

You guys can go play in the water.

All right!

The ocean!

Hey, we Ijichis still have work to do.

Aw, I wanna go play!

Um, would you like us to help with something?

We're all good. There's only a little to go.

But the ocean!

I've never seen Ijichi-san act like a little sister before.

This feels so nice.

Amane-san is photogenic wherever she goes!

Otaku-san, shall I try to guess what you are thinking right now?

Huh? Okay...?

"Amane-san is so photogenic."

"Will Sayu take a romantic picture of us together?"

Well, you got the first part right!

That's what you were thinking, Sayu.

You aren't going to get us that easily.

Tch. That's the whole reason I got this phone.

Don't you "tch" me!

Hmph, oh well. Then why don't we play in the sand?

If I say Glittermon episode 7, what comes to mind?

LOOKS LIKE A CRAB, SO THE "SAND TURTLE" NAME IS ONE OF GLITTERMON'S MANY MYSTERIES The legendary beach episode with Smiley Sand Turtle!

YO, I'M A TURTLE!

It looks just like a crab, but it's actually a turtle!

That's a fantastic idea! Let's make one!

That sounds like fun.

Kotoko! Get to work!

All done!

This is an excellent replica, isn't it?

Well, I think we can do even better.

Why don't you two work on making the eyes a little bigger?

I'll evaluate the proportions from a distance.

Okay. Roger that.

Sayu sure is getting into this.

She really is a perfectionist.

I'm sorry to make you play with her.

Oh, it's no trouble. I could do this for hours.

Wait, Sayu. We aren't done with the eyes yet.

Let's do a proper photo shoot when it's finished.

Okay, I'll work on this eye.

Then I'll do this part.

It's complete!

It almost looks like it could come to life!

Mm-hmm!

Sayu, don't you wanna take a picture?

I already got the shot I needed.

She seemed so into it a minute ago...

No way! Did she snap a pic of us together?!

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

Otagal.

A!

Ma!

Ne!

Hey! Ijichi, you...!

Take that!

Now you've done it!

Stop it!

I can't hear you!

Come on, come on, come on!

Take that! And that! Wh-Whoa! Sayu, stop it!

Sorry, Sayu! Sorry!

Wh-What do you want?

Hey, man. I hear you scored at One-Ton Choco.

Bro's gotta have a real cool hand.

They seem somewhat suspicious of me.

Okay! Take us on, Otaku!

Huh? O-Okay th—

The water pressure is too strong!

Go!

Wha!

Take this!

I said it's too strong!

Bam!

Yeah, we win!

I can't keep up with elementary school kids...

It's okay to get mad, Otaku-kun.

They've really been acting up lately.

It's fine. I'm an only child,

so it's kind of fun to pretend like I have brothers.

Otaku-kun...

Huh. Maybe he's actually a cool dude.

Yeah.

So you won't get mad if we bury you in the sand?

Bury me?!

I guess that's okay...

Lemme help!

Let's combine forces and make a masterpiece!

They're ganging up!

And finished!

Well, as long as you're all having fun...

Hibiki, let's play beach volleyball.

Okay.

Ah, they got distracted.

Perhaps I will take a picture.

Otaku-kun, thanks for putting up with my little brothers.

It's okay.

You're such a good big brother.

One more shot... Thanks, although it feels like you and Ijichi-san did most of the burying.

Whoa! My bad!

Where the heck were you aiming?

Oh!

Are you okay?

Cool. Let's grill some meat.

It looks so good!

All right. Time to dig in.

That's tasty!

And hot!

You eat up too, Sayu-chan.

Thank you very much.

Oh. May I have some more vegetables, please?

Good for you.

Gen!

I just want tons of meat.

Me too!

Silly boys.

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

It's ready!

My special yakisoba recipe!

Who wants some?

Oh, I'd love some!

Yeah, me too.

YUM Yum!

Yakisoba on the beach should be illegal, right?

That's true.

Otacchi.

Have these.

Yeah, they're real good.

"Otacchi"?

Thank you very much.

Don't sweat it, man.

Yeah. You're a pretty cool dude, Otacchi.

They've really taken to him.

Hey, why don't you go hang with Kotoko, Otacchi?

I mean, you are her boyfriend.

Huh?!

No, he's not.

Kotoko-san's boyfriend?

He's more in the running to become Kei's boyfriend.

No, he's not!

Let's duke it out to see whose he is!

He isn't anybody's!

I was hoping you'd say that.

Stop this right now!

We told you it's not like that!

Let's duke it out to see whose boyfriend he is!

I was hoping you'd say that.

Kotoko and Otacchi went to a photo booth!

PHOTO BOOTH

Yeah, and she showed off the photos at home.

Is that all you've got?

You sure we can't do something dirty instead?

SOMETHING DIRTY...

Kei-oneechan and Otaku-san tried to do something dirty in her room.

Huh?!

Wh-What?

That's so nasty!

Would you cut it out?!

Fight over your own stuff instead!

Our own stuff?

I made diamond rank in Cpex!

And I made master rank!

Also, I've got four legend-class warriors!

I even got the emerald badge!

Cpex is a game, right?

The first thing you brag about is some game?

I guess that's the best you can do.

How sad.

H-How sad?

Sayu-san can be pretty ruthless.

Damn it! Then let's have a swimming race!

Beach volleyball!

You lose in a battle of wits, so now you want to play sports?

How childish you are.

What?!

Okay, okay. That's enough.

Quit acting tough and try to get along.

That was a little harsh, Sayu.

It's impressive to be good at games.

Well, they're the ones who started it.

Tch, this is lame. Let's get outta here.

Yeah.

Look, Sayu—

Ice pops!

Anyone want some ice pops?

Huh? S-Sure.

I'll go buy some at the convenience store.

Sayu-san, would you mind keeping me company?

I don't mind.

Thank you very much!

It's so hard to decide by myself.

Thank you for helping me choose.

What do you want to do when we get back?

We still have lots of time.

You know, I've really been looking forward to today.

I've never gone to the beach with friends before.

I was so excited last night,

I even had trouble getting to sleep.

I was looking forward to hanging out with Amane-san and Ijichi-san,

but also the Ijichi brothers and you, Sayu-san.

It would make me really happy if we could all get along and have fun together.

It'd be great if we can all take a bunch of nice pictures together.

Together...

Sayu-san?

We can't have the ice pops melting on us.

I'll run ahead with them.

Hmph.

Um...

What do you want?

I was too harsh before.

This is such a nice barbecue.

It would be great if we could all get along.

So I apologize.

ICE BAR SODA FLOAT FLAVOR

I guess that's okay.

Oh? Is something going on between you guys?

What the heck are you talking about, Kotoko?!

Tee-hee. It's so nice to be young.

Cut it out!

I'm glad they were able to make up.

Thanks, Otaku-kun.

Oh, I didn't do anything.

For you, Otaku-san.

Thank you very much.

Hey!

Eat up so we can play, Otacchi!

Okay!

They're having so much fun.

I was wondering, Otaku-kun...

Y-Yes?

Who do you like better, Amane-chan or my sister?

B-Better? They're both my friends.

I can't really...

Okay, so say they both asked you out on a date.

Who would you pick?

I picked both of them!

Well, either way, just treat them right, man.

You know Kotoko and Amane-chan are both really popular.

They get attention from a lot of bad dudes.

As Kotoko's brother,

I don't want to see some guy making half-assed passes at her or her friends.

Okay, here we go!

I understand.

You do, huh? You think you get it, do you?

I would never stand for someone hurting them.

Even a brother.

Oh, no! Um, I mean...

I'm sorry! That was an extremely inappropriate remark!

Don't worry, man. We're good.

You might be right for 'em after all.

Watch out for my sister, okay?

Amane-chan too.

I will.

And remember, a decent guy never make his girl cry, no matter what.

Oh, of course not. I don't have that in me anyway.

Oh, did I tell you?

Otaku-kun had me bawling my eyes out the other day!

Oh?

That right?

It was the movie! I think she's talking about the movie I picked!

We should get ready to head home.

Aw...

Amane and Sayu-chan, why don't you go shower off?

Okay. Thanks.

SHAVED ICE

I guess Amane-san and Sayu-san aren't ready yet.

Mm! Yummy!

Ijichi-san!

Oh, welcome back.

Aren't you going to get changed, Ijichi-san?

Nah. We're driving, so I'll just go back like this.

I see.

Actually, I found out I have to visit family for Obon,

so I don't think I can go do that thing with Amane.

Sorry, Otaku-kun.

It's okay.

I can still go with her, so don't worry about it.

It's probably Comiket anyway.

Oh? I bet you're thinking,

"Yes! I get to go on a date alone with Amane!" Right?

What? No, I wasn't thinking that.

I have the most fun when the three of us get to hang out together.

So let's hang out a whole lot more, okay?

Yeah! It's a promise, 'kay?

U-Um...

Y-Yeah?

Um, well...

Ijichi-san...

Didn't I tell you I'd be pissed if you made a pass at her?

Eek!

I got so nervous, I totally froze! I wasn't doing anything!

Hey, Sis.

We brought all the stuff.

O-Oh, thanks!

Huh? Why is your face so red, Kotoko?

You got a fever?

I-It's nothing!

Bleh!

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

Otagal.

Get home safe, 'kay?

See you later!

Let's see. Sayu wants orange...

Otaku-san, look.

I took a lot of good photos today.

This one is pretty great.

I had a very good time today.

Yeah! It was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the drink.

Yeah, no problem.

Wow, I sure am exhausted.

Right? I'm so full right now that I might conk out.

Go right ahead and sleep.

I can wake you up later.

Really? I bet you're sleepy too after all that running around.

No need to try to stay awake.

You know, I'm not a little baby anymore.

I can totally handle it.

She is a schoolkid, after all.

Thanks for letting her lean on you like that.

It doesn't bother me.

Your daughter's just darling.

Huh?

Oh! She's actually like a sister to...

Do you think we really look that old?

She just kinda made it sound like you and I are marr—

Wha?! A-Amane-san?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doze off.

What were you just saying?

Nothing! I wasn't doing anything!

Hmm?

GALS CAN'T BE KIND TO OTAKU?!

LET'S FIND SOME FRIENDS!
