Kohei.

Help me!

Why are you shouting my name
like that? That's just sad.

I can't just come up with anything
no matter how hard I think!

You know a thing or two about underhanded,
dirty, and despicable methods, don't you?

Quite an extreme opinion of me.

Am I wrong?

No, you're right.

So please! Brainstorm with me!

Nope. I'm busy.

UBUKOI
I'll give you this bishoujo game

UBUKOI
that Kikko forced on me!

Yeesh...

So, what do you want me to think of?

You see...

I want to stop a certain couple
from going on a trip together.

Elaborate, please?

This is a story about a friend of mine.

It seems the guy she has a crush on
has come into a little money.

Yeah?

It seems like he's going to use that money
to take another girl on a trip.

Uh-huh.

I want to stop that trip because it might
bring the two of them closer together.

I see. It's about Kotegawa
and Kitahara, huh?

I thought I said it's about
a friend of mine!

So, what do you think I should do?

Just be honest about it.

Don't go...

What if you just beg like that?

As if I can do that!

Why?

Why, you ask...

Isn't it weird to try to stop him
when we're not even dating?

Then stop him after confessing.

What?!

No good?

Well, uh...

If it doesn't work out, I feel like our
current relationship might fall apart.

It's scary...

That's what my friend said, yeah!

I'm beat...

Finished your shift at this hour?

I was filling in for the day shift.

We've been short-staffed
at the tables nowadays.

You guys look free.

I was called by her...

We were just discussing
about my problem!

Problem?

Well, I mean, my friend's problem...

We still have to continue this, so...

See ya!

What the heck?

We're still doing this?

I mean, it hasn't been resolved yet...

But to discuss a private matter here...

Yeah, maybe we should find another place.

Follow me.

Where are you taking me?

By the way, what's up with
those sunglasses and that hat?

Lately, people often
mistake me for Ikegoshi.

Was that Aina and a guy?

YOSHIWARA

YOSHIWARA
This place can't be...

YOSHIWARA
Yep. My room.

I'm leaving.

Why?

Personal matters.

You just want to watch anime, don't you?

Come on in!

Hey! I'm not coming in!

Why?!

I need to mentally prepare first!
- And whoop...

I need to mentally prepare first!
- Just get in here!

Aina's forcing a guy to her place?!

Just sit wherever.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Well... Thinking that my first time in
a girl's room would be in your room...

Right... This is also my first
time inviting a boy in...

I can't believe my first
time is with Kohei...

I can't believe my first
time is with Cakey...

But that might not be what I imagine...

My first time...

They're talking about their
first time?! Must be that!

YOSHIWARA
And she's invited him in,

YOSHIWARA
starting after just two minutes?!

YOSHIWARA
She's like a beast!

YOSHIWARA
But well, since we're here...

Yeah, it's deeply against my will,
but let's just accomplish our goal.

By the way, is there
a good way to do it?

Well...

How to do it?

Want to call a friend?

What is he saying?!

Hmm... What should I do...

Eek! She's pondering
without even refusing?!

Am I invited in that too?!

If that won't work,
find something to blackmail them with...

Don't date that guy!

Huh?

Open your eyes, Aina!
You're cute, so cherish yourself more!

What?

Oh, it's actually
Kaya-sama's little sister!

Oh? Kohei-kun?

Hey there.

Oh, so that's what it's about.

What did you think it was?

By the way,
where's the promised goods? Hurry!

Promised goods?

Oh, right. I forgot.

I promised to give him
the game I got from Kikko.

Oh, the one no one would take.

UBUKOI
Here.

UBUKOI

What the...

UBUKOI
You already have that one?

UBUKOI
Not really, but...

You'll know when you see it.

Heya, Keiko.

Hey there.

I wonder why Aina called me.

She said it's an emergency...

She must be calling us
to watch a movie again.

No...

Isn't she making progress too quickly?

More like evolution than progress.

YOSHIWARA
But it's just a normal college student thing.

YOSHIWARA
I guess so.

YOSHIWARA
What? I'm doing it too?

YOSHIWARA
Yeah, you're doing it too, Kanako.

It's still too early for a g*ngb*ng!

What?!

UBUKOI
The porn game from back then, huh?

Since you tend to go off the rails
sometimes, I just assumed...

Assumed what?

Anyway, Kikko!
Why is this a porn game?!

What? It was boring?

That's not the problem here!

As far as age restrictions go,
you're all good now.

True, but...

You should've mentioned that it's porn!

I'll be going, then.

Right, we were in the middle
of Aina's dating advice session.

Really?

Then why are you playing a porn game?

You're so hopeless.

I just didn't know!

You can learn about romance
from that game.

No way I'll learn something from this.

SCHOOL GROUNDS
Sorry,

SCHOOL GROUNDS
but I can't come with you for our next trip.

SCHOOL GROUNDS
Why?

For some reason, I keep getting
scheduled for shifts every day...

Scheduled for shifts?

I was filling in for the day shift.

We've been short-staffed
at the tables nowadays.

Oh...

I told you it would come
in handy, didn't I?

Your smug face really pisses me off.

The guy just happened to be
working part-time, that's all.

Your friend's crush, that is.

So I want him to have more shifts.

Don't worry about that.
I've already come up with a plan.

Really? That's amazing!

But if you've already come up with a plan,
why are we having a strategy meeting here?

Don't sweat it.

Welcome.

Huh? Shouldn't you be
in the kitchen, Otaya-kun?

We've been short-staffed
at the tables nowadays.

Have you decided what to order?

Oh, wait.

I'll have this set menu.

I, uh...

By the way, Otaya-kun.

Yes?

Did Kitahara treat you to something?

No, not really.

I see.

What about it?

Actually, he just won
a lottery the other day.

Now that's lucky.

Yeah, I also celebrated
sincerely for him,

but I'm worried about how he'll use that.

Meaning?

It seems that idiot plans to
spend a fortune on women.

What?!

Here's your wad!
- I can't believe Kitahara would do such a thing!

No, he wouldn't go so far,

but that scumbag is planning
to take some girl on a trip alone.

Kitahara-san on a trip
with a girl... alone...

Alone.

That's a bit...

For someone like Kitahara,
that's a pretty c*ck thing to do, huh!

I wish he'd be so busy
he wouldn't be able to go!

Well...

Okay! I'll have the peperoncino!

Maybe by some chance,
he'll be packed with shifts...

What are you on about?

BUSUJIMA

That idiot is going on
a vacation with a girl?

You okay, Iori-kun?

My part-time job has been tough...

Are you getting bullied?

Nah, I'm used to that.

So it's still a problem...

For some reason, I had been scheduled
for as many shifts as possible...

Especially during weekends...

Huh? Really?

You seem happy.

Not really...

Sweet! I don't know what happened,
but it went well!

You still have lectures too.
Must be tough to have no days off.

Well, the restaurant will be closed
next week for renovations,

so I just have to hang in there
until then.

Good for you, Iori-kun.

Yes...

And so, our plan has failed...

I see...

I'm running out of options...

Yeah...

In that case, why don't you just
go on a diving trip yourself?

Huh?

It's not at all unusual to go to Okinawa for
diving, and you might run into each other.

You've got enough allowances, right?

Eureka!

Thanks! I'll try that!

Break a leg.

By the way, are you going alone?

Nope. Since it's diving,
I'll just invite Kohei.

Huh?

I'll pack my bags, then.
See you!

Does that mean Aina's going on
a trip alone with a boy too?


Finally, our second Okinawa trip!


The weather's perfect too, right, Chisa?


Yeah.

Come on, where's the spirit?

I'm always like this.

Don't get sulky just because you can't
go diving on the first day...

What?

Are you nervous or something?

Huh? No way.

Hm? Fine, then.

We're renting a car today, right?

Yep. Keys are all yours.

You're planning to drink, aren't you?
Not that I mind.

But are you really sure
it's okay that it wasn't Miyako?

Yeah. I'm also into Honto.

I see.

Where are we going first?

Let's drive all the way
around the coastline.

And wherever we go, we find a beautiful
beach and head to the ocean.

That's a good idea.

Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Off we go!

I found a yummy curry
recipe the other day.

Is that the one where you
use three kinds of roux?

Yep, exactly!

I've been curious too.

Let's make it next weekend.

Turn right over there.

Got a place in mind?

NMYAACHI BURGER

Definitely a must-buy for a drive!

I see.

But it's still too early for lunch.

Just think of this as a snack.

Oh...

What's up?

I didn't check my rearview mirror.

Didn't you adjust it before getting in?

I forgot.

NMYAACHI BURGER

I wish our stomachs were bottomless
when travelling, don't you think?

I feel you.

Here.

Want a drink?

Give me.

Sure.

I wonder if there are
any crows around here?

Did you see a warning sign for crows?

No, it's the car up ahead.

Bird deterrents, huh?
I haven't seen those in a while.

You don't see those
around our shop, right?

At my parents' house,
that's like a drop in the bucket.

I mean, they're in the mountains...

Oh, my phone?

What?

I don't really get it, but it seems like
someone's going to die because of me.

What happened?

It sure is pretty.

Feeling this again, I kind of miss
the convertible I once rode in.

That kei truck, huh?

The guy who ran the shop was pretty
sketchy in a lot of ways, though.

From here on, all the roads we'll be
driving on are on private property.

It's amazing he's still
in business with that, isn't it?

But I was jealous of the cargo bed.

Wanna rent a kei truck tomorrow?

I'll pass.

Turn right there, Chisa.

First and foremost, the sea is a must!

Make sure you wear
a swimsuit before you go in.

I'll make sure.

Definitely do it.

I'll go get changed in the toilet.

I'll take the car.
Don't peek, okay?

I won't even if you pay me.

I've seen you change too many times already.
And you're supposed to cover the bottom.

You barged in so suddenly,
I couldn't help it!

Iori, get me the first-aid kit.

Are you hurt?

Not me.

Should I go too?

Don't go looking like that.

This rocks!

The salt doesn't stick.

Yeah, I guess the seawater is different
depending on where you go.

Even though it's shallow,
there are still plenty of fish.

Want to go snorkeling?

Let's do that!

Fins!

When did you buy fins?

It's the lottery at work!

That's cheating.

You've already got plenty of stuff,
haven't you?

It looks like you have quite
a few swimsuits, too.

It's fine, isn't it?

Yeah, swimsuits are fine.

I didn't say that.

By the way, are you okay
with going in water now?

Yeah. I've really gotten over it.

Now I just have to
learn how to swim.

I see.

You're pretty athletic,
so you might pick it up right away.

What's with that look?

I think it's the first time
you've praised me.

Because you always do things
that don't deserve praises.

Besides, this isn't the first time...

I'm glad you're here.

What?

Nothing.

Anyway...

Want me to teach you
how to swim?

Are you sure?

If you don't mind.

As if I do!

Phew, I'm pooped!

Yeah.

I see I've got a few messages.

Must be urgent business.

I don't really get it, but this
doesn't sound like business.

That's fine, then.
Are we eating dinner in the car?

Oh, yeah. I made a reservation at an izakaya
that hosts sanshin live performances.

That sounds like fun.

So, after we have a drink, we'll get
a driver to take us to the hotel.

Got it.

DEEP BEAUTIFUL SEA - ALCOHOL

Cheers!

When in Okinawa,
you gotta drink this beer!

It's pretty light and
easy to drink, isn't it?

It really has that tropical
beer vibe, doesn't it?

Here are the sea grapes, jima-mi tofu,
and somen champuru.

That looks yummy.

KOREGUSU
It's best to sprinkle some koregusu

KOREGUSU
on this and eat it.

KOREGUSU
Maybe I should use it too.

KOREGUSU
Sure, but be careful.

KOREGUSU
Huh?

KOREGUSU
That's island chili peppers pickled in Awamori.

KOREGUSU
It'll get you drunk.

KOREGUSU
The Pab guys might be dying to try this...

We're starting the sanshin
live performance now!

What a nice pub.

Yeah.

I hear celebrities come
here incognito, too.

Good work!
- Huh...

Good work!
- Indeed.

You've worked hard today,
let's drink a lot tonight! Let's party!

On you?

On your own wallets!

Huh? Indeed?

Nothing.

Now, let's all enjoy dancing
the Kachashi together!

Let's go, Chisa!

No way.

What? Are you bad at dancing?

Want me to teach you
for the swimming lesson?

I don't really want to.

Raise your hands slightly leaning!

Move them sideways!

Yay, yay!

DEEP BEAUTIFUL SEA - ALCOHOL

It's nice to meet people
while travelling, isn't it?

You think so?

Even if I have some reservations,
I can just wash them away with alcohol.

I can't agree with you on that.

We'll be enjoying the main diving event
from morning tomorrow...

Yeah. Make sure to go
to bed early tonight.

I might be too excited to sleep, though.

Oh, you...

Iori, don't tell me...

No! I did reserve a twin bed room!

Excuse me.
Our room is a double...

We'd like to change to a twin room...

Twin room?

We don't have such a room.

That face looks familiar!

Not that!

Is there a room with two beds?

So that's what twin is?

Or maybe one extra cheap room?

Don't worry about the price.

No matter the price, we can't help you
because we're fully booked.

Old man!

Well, one bed shouldn't be a problem if
you're a couple, right?

Wha...

That is defamatory,
so please take it back.

We're not like that.

Oh, I see!

Sex friends, huh?

What's up with that old fart?

It's actually amazing that he can actually work
a diversified business mode like that.

Oh, fine.

Yeah.

I feel bad to see you have
to camp outside, though.

Huh? Is that already decided?

If you can sleep in the bathtub,
that's fine with me.

We can just sleep at opposite
ends of the bed, right?

After all, we've slept on
top of each other before.

That was an accident.

Nanaka-san saw us, and we almost
got forced into marriage, though.

It was painful for days after that.

My bad.

Well, we won't have to go through
such a painful happening again today.

It's so big!

Yeesh. Only for today, I guess.

Yay!

Hop in the shower first, then.

Don't say it like that.

I'll answer.

What was that?

It seems another room
has become available.

I'm going there, then.

I see.

Feeling lonely?

Not at all, dummy.



Morning.

Morning. What about
the pickup from the shop?

I haven't called them yet,
so we're going there by car first.

I was so drunk yesterday I didn't notice,

ALL BECAUSE OF LOVE~ - LOVE HOTEL AVENUE

LOVE NEST - MY BODY
but this is the Love Hotel Avenue.

THAT ONE SUMMER DAY
You're right.

It feels so raw when I think that everyone
came out after they made love.

Stop that.

My bad.

Let's go back to our car...

NEXT TIME: RETURN TO OKINAWA [PART B]
