I'm seriously super excited! We're going skiing today!

That's Hokkaido for you. We get to spend a full day of class skiing.

Have you ever gone skiing, Tsubasa?

Not even once. I'm really scared.

Aww, weally? Is wittle Tsuba-chan afwaid of skiing? There, there.

Cut it out, Fuyuki-san!

Oh? But teasing you is so much fun, Tsubasa!

I've been skiing since elementary school so I'm awesome at it.

Your eyes are gonna pop out of your head when you see me shredding gnar!

Shredding... nard?

Shredding nard?

But I think everyone here is already pretty good.

I'm not surprised people from Hokkaido know how to handle snow.

But it almost never snows in Tokyo. Even when it does, it doesn't stick.

Hey, hey. Are you excited to go skiing, Sayuri-chan?

Y-Yeah, I guess it goes without saying.

Fuyuki-san gets along with everybody. This isn't like her.

I wonder if something happened between them.

Fuyuki-san, you okay?

Huh? Yeah, well... listen.

I'm desperate to become friends with Sayuri-chan.

I'm sure we'd become awesome galfriends.

Oh, so it's not like you're fighting or anything?

Of course we ain't! I totes like her!

But she gets like this whenever I talk to her.

And you still want to become friends, huh? You sure are determined.

But I mean, take a good look, Tsubasa.

Isn't she super adorbable? Her hair, her style, the way she moves!

And her face, her face, her face!

A classic beauty!

But a dark-haired, prim and proper gyaru? Oh my god!

Dark-haired, prim and proper... and a gyaru?

Those things are supposed to be complete opposites!

Can such a contradiction truly exist?

You're totally spellbound.

Huh? No, I didn't mean to...

Oh? Fine, whatevs.

We're almost there anyway. Peace out.

Wait! Fuyuki-san!

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!

Super Cute Angels ♥

Hokkaido Gals Are

Boom!

Super Adorable

Episode 3: Akino-san Is Super Unfriendly

All right!

Split up into classes A, B, and C according to skill,

and follow the instructions from the teacher in your class.

Okay!

Um, so where should I go?

Shiki, you don't have any skiing experience, right?

Uh, right.

Class C is taking the lift up a ways and skiing back down.

Think you can handle that?

I think I should go somewhere flat and practice walking first.

That figures.

All right, then. Go with her and we'll call it a special beginner class.

It sounds like Akino can't ski at all, either.

I'm also in charge of class C, so I can't always keep an eye on you,

but I'll check in every once in a while.

Just don't take any risks, okay?

All right.

This is my best chance to talk to her!

Maybe I can smooth things over between her and Fuyuki-san.

Uh, Akino-san? Do you want to go together?

Oh, earbuds?

If she's wearing earbuds, she must not want to be bothered.

I feel bad for Fuyuki-san, but I'd better not push it, then.

Also, the way she puts her hair behind her ears is kinda wild!

I have no idea why I feel that way, though.

Oh, so that's it.

It's easier to move forward if you shift your weight from leg to leg.

Akino-san!

Are you okay? I was trying to focus and didn't see you. I'm sorry!

What even is the point of learning this?

Tsubasa!

Wow!

Yeah? Yeah? Pretty cool, right?

Wow! What? That was awesome!

What did I tell ya?

Fuyuki!

I told you to stay off the jumps!

Oh, crap. See ya!

She's so cool.

So, Shiki,

are you going out with Fuyuki?

Huh?!

No, no, no! It isn't like that!

Why?

You two were real friendly on the bus, too.

Well, that was just her teasing me, you know?

It seemed like more than that to me.

I warned you at the start! What happens if you get injured?

That Fuyuki. She's the perfect popular girl, isn't she?

I know.

She's really loud, she's a party girl, she's outgoing, and she's a gyaru!

What's that? I think I'm sensing a powerful loner aura.

She has everything that I don't.

Akino-san...

Okay, enough chitchat.

Back to independent study.

Want me to ski down with you?

Huh?

The expert course is really gnarly.

I'll escort you down.

Is that okay?

Oh, yes! I'm the snowy mountain rescue gyaru!

Okay.

Yes, please.

All right. 'Kay, ready?

Yeah!

Go, go!

I'm really sorry, Akino and Shiki!

I had my hands full with class C and couldn't come to help.

That's all right. By the way, what time does lunch break start?

Well, actually... most of the other students are already taking their break.

He definitely forgot about us.

But of course, you two can take your lunch break now.

Oh.

It would be weird to be alone in here with Akino-san

so I think I'll eat my bento inside.

Everyone else is already done with lunch.

Oh, no! My chopsticks are still in my bag!

Wow, stupid me! I'll jump in to grab them real quick.

You know, I wonder which ski class Sayuri-chan is in.

My bad!

Oh, crap! She was changing?!

She probably thought it was safe 'cause no one else was on the bus!

Now what? Now what?! I've seen too much!

Her skin and her underwear and her sweat?!

I've got to calm down! I've got to explain myself!

Akino-san, I'm very sorry!

I didn't know what you were doing and really didn't mean to look!

Of course I won't tell anyone! I promise I'll forget what I saw!

It's just...

I accidentally left my chopsticks in my bag and I came back to get them.

If it's okay with you, I'll grab them and leave. Is that okay?

Of course not.

Sorry. I'll come back later.

Huh?

I should explain. I can do it while we eat.

She's hasn't said a word since we sat down to eat.

What did she want to talk about?

Is she going to threaten me to keep my mouth shut?

I don't really know what Akino-san is like, but I'm kinda getting scared.

I'll make it quick, so listen up.

O-Okay.

I sweat a lot.

I've always been embarrassed about sweating, so I always sat out of sports.

But then, after a while, I started falling behind.

There were a lot of things I didn't learn how to do right.

I started to lose confidence, and before I knew it, I was avoiding everyone.

Sometimes I'd think "this is getting really bad,"

so I'd put in more effort, like with ski practice today.

But then you catch me trying to dry off? This is the worst.

I'm really, really sorry about that.

No, it's my fault for being so careless.

But why did you decide to tell me?

I just transferred, and you and I have never really talked before.

And about something so personal?

That actually makes it easier.

You didn't know anything about me before, so in a way it's easier to talk to you.

Oh. I see what you mean.

And look, we're kind of in the same situation.

Even our seats.

The girl with no friends and the lonely transfer student right next to each other.

Yeah, things are kind of a mess, but this makes me glad that I'm a transfer student.

Also, you're stupidly uptight, Shiki.

Wha—?! Am I really?

What I mean is, I doubt you'll spread this around to make fun of me.

Did that sound come from inside Akino-san's bag?

A phone notification maybe?

It looks like it's really bothering her.

Don't worry about me. You can look if you need to.

What? No, I...

Oh, well. There's no reason to hide it at this point.

Yeah, it was the update notification.

The hair behind the ear...

What is that? A tablet?

I got back into this recently. I play Sis-Plus SP on the Shueido Witch.

Sis... plus?

Crash Sisters Plus, obviously!

Superb Crash Sisters+

It's a fighting game with all kinds of famous characters.

You have to know it.

Actually, no, I don't.

I don't play a lot of games.

Huh?!

Eek!

Give it a shot.

I-I don't know what to do! Huh? Where? What do I push?

Start by moving the sticks.

Uh, I lost.

You're so funny! You really never played it before.

But I don't know what to do!

Okay, listen. Go like this with the stick to move the character,

get closer to the opponent and then attack.

To attack, use this button or this button.

Then block or jump to avoid the enemy's attacks.

Oh...

Sorry.

I know how dumb I sound when I go off like that.

No way! I didn't think so at all!

You know, I want to get along with people

so I put a lot of thought into my looks, but this is what I'm really like.

People always get scared or creeped out before I figure out how close is too close.

Then I end up running and hiding in the one thing I'm good at. Games.

I'm so pathetic.

No you aren't!

I think it's great that you're trying so hard!

I think both your personality and looks are really unique and great!

I'm so glad I got to know you!

Thanks for talking to me!

How can you say such embarrassing things?

And you're even good at games! That's awesome!

If you don't mind, would you teach me more about games?

I want to game with you, Akino-san!

I-I guess I don't have a choice.

Okay, I can teach you, but you have to call me Professor.

Yes, Professor!

Wow! What the heck was that? Insane!

How did you do that, Professor?

The moves themselves aren't really that hard.

I'm sure you'll figure it out if you just try, Shiki.

If I just try?

All right!

I beat him! I cleared the level, Professor!

Yeah, the weakest CPU in the game.

But you haven't cleared anything yet.

Huh? But it feels like a huge achievement!

Oh, what?! Akino-san, I just noticed the time! We gotta go!

Huh? Really? Wait for me!

The teacher told us to take it easy.

I guess we can just relax and kill time.

Akino-san,

will you try skiing down with me?

Huh?

It's just like the game.

We'll figure it out! We just gotta try.

Okay! Class A can spend the rest of the time skiing freely.

Okay!

Yay!

Well then, where should I go skiing meow?

Huh? Are those two... No way.

Tsubasa and Sayuri-chan?

Wow! We're so high up, Akino-san!

My legs are dangling over the edge! Is this actually safe?!

Wow. The ski resort looks huge from this high up.

Hey, Shiki.

Why do you want to ski, Shiki?

The teacher said we shouldn't force ourselves.

I've been challenging myself to try a bunch of new things in Hokkaido.

Challenge yourself?

Yeah, but the one we're going to now is still the easiest course.

Before we went on lunch, I asked the teacher for pointers.

You're really something, Shiki.

I could never be like that.

Actually, Fuyuki-san is the one who made me decide that.

Fuyuki?

Fuyuki-san is the first friend I made since I moved here.

She takes me to eat all sorts of things and shows me new places.

Oh, wasn't her skiing today crazy?

Shiki, I can tell you're totally into Fuyuki.

Huh? No, no! It isn't like...

Sh-She's just a normal friend!

If you're gonna try that hard to deny it, I must be right.

But I guess Fuyuki is pretty okay then.

I know everyone idolizes her.

She even talks to me sometimes.

But the way I am, I start getting suspicious, thinking, "why would she be doing this?"

So I don't know the right way to respond.

But Fuyuki-san is—

We're here. Let's get off.

Akino-san, I have a favor to ask.

If I can make it all the way down without falling even once,

I want you to actually respond to Fuyuki-san.

It's not like I was trying to ignore her.

Fuyuki-san truly does want to be your friend, Akino-san.

She isn't doing it for any other reason.

You sure like to stick your neck out for others.

It isn't only for Fuyuki-san.

I want to become better friends with you, too, Akino-san.

F-Fine with me, but on one condition.

Don't you dare leave me behind.

Of course I won't! Let's go together.

The teacher said that to ski slowly, keep your center of gravity forward,

point your ski tips together like a wedge, and make big, sweeping turns as you go.

I'm actually doing it!

Just a little further. Gotta stay focused.

Make a wedge to slow down...

Oh... ugh!

I-I stopped! I can ski!

Shiki!

How do I stop?!

Oh, crap! I forgot to teach her how to stop!

Akino-san! Make a wedge with your skis!

I don't think she heard me!

I'm going to have to catch her myself!

Sayuri-chan!

If you pull your skis together and fall on your butt to one side,

you can stop safely and it won't hurt all that much!

Don't worry! The mountain rescue gyaru is here for you!

I'll show you what I mean so just copy me!

Are you okay, Sayuri-chan?

I'm fine. It didn't hurt at all.

Akino-san! Fuyuki-san!

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Oh, good! What a relief!

Hey! Akino, Shiki!

It's the teacher.

Who gave you permission to ski alone?!

I'll go talk to him.

I'll go, too.

No. I made you come with me.

And you almost got injured. I'm really sorry!

I'll accept responsibility and take the blame.

Sensei! I'm terribly sorry!

He's apologizing so hard! Hilarious!

Thanks for helping me.

And... sorry for being so cold to you until now,

Fuyuki.

Sure!

Is something wrong?

No...

I made friends with Sayuri-chan and had fun skiing so it was an amay-and-zing day.

It's just, these two behind me are getting way too cozy.

Aww, come on! Why aren't you guys hanging out with me more?!
