01x06 - Mahiro Goes Back to Middle School

[bunniefuu]

All right, everybody.
Get back in your seats.

Today we have a transfer student.

I... I just transferred here today.

M-My name is Mahiro Oyama.

I think... I have a lot to learn...

Nice to... meet you all.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Oyama, your seat is
at the back by the window...

W-Why... Why did this happen to me?

Wh-Who are they?

Sorry to be so sudden.

I'm going to have a parfait
with some friends right now.

So I wanted to ask
if you want to go with us.

Par...

Well, I just remembered
I have something to do...

That's great, Mahiro.

Don't you happen to be free?

What are you talking about...

Here you go. Use it to get a parfait.

Okay...

Please take care of her, Momiji.

Okay.

All right, let's go!

No, wait... Mihari!

Be careful on the way.

Allow me to introduce you.

These two are my classmates, Miyo...

And I'm Asahi!

I-I'm Mahiro.

Nice to meet you.

Mahiro, you're too close.

Sorry!

I heard they're good friends...

I've learned everything about you
from Momiji, Mahiron.

"Mahiron"?

We heard you're really cute and funny.

And...

you're lazy, good-for-nothing
and afraid of strangers!

That's not what I told them!

Well, she doesn't have any ill intentions...

Mahiro?

That's okay. Those are the facts, anyway.

I much prefer this instead of
people expecting too much from me.

Thanks to that,
I don't feel as nervous now.

I see. That's great.

Hey, you shouldn't be saying that.

I'm sorry. Asahi is so stupid.

Hey, you're pretty mean to her.

We've known each other
since elementary school, after all.

Right?

It's okay. They're just
hopelessly linked together.

What are you talking about?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here it is!

This looks amazing!
This is what autumn is all about.

They have all kinds of parfait here.

I think this is my first parfait ever.

Here, open your mouth.

What?

As my way of apology, please have a bite.

I'm going to feed Mahiro.

Isn't it delicious, Mahiro?

Mine's delicious too, Mahiron!

-Wait...
-Mine is more delicious.

I'm so full...

-Thanks for the delicious treat.
-Thanks for the delicious treat.

That was so satisfying.

Right.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.

I'm sorry, I seemed to have
interrupted your gathering.

You're already our friend, Mahiron.

Let's hang out again sometime.

Okay, let's meet sometime.

See you.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.

Mahiro.

I will cheer for you.

Th-This girl...

I'm back.

Welcome back, Big brother.

How was the girls' gathering?

What do you mean by that?

But well, the parfait was delicious.

I see...

Hey, you should take a bath
before you have dinner.

"See you tomorrow," huh...

Where are my clothes...

This looks so familiar.

All right!

It's my old uniform,
but it fits you perfectly!

I'm not playing dress-up with you!

Come over here
and have a seat, Big brother.

What's wrong?

Actually, I am worried too.

But the effects won't
wear off for a while.

And you've made several friends, too.

"Friends"...

I've got your backstory in mind, too.

Backstory?

H-Hey, don't tell me...

Why don't you attend school, Big brother?

What?

I kind of just went with the flow,

but I should have
turned her down forcefully.

I never thought I'd have to
be a middle school student again,

and as a girl to boot...

Hey, let's chat.

You're so cute.

Your hair is so beautiful.

Where did you transfer from?

Let's not circle her up all at once.
How can she answer you?

Right, Mahiro?

Lord Momiji!

Wait. Hozuki, do you know each other?

Yeah, I'll introduce her to you later.

All right. We're sorry, Oyama.

-Too bad.
-Let's talk to her next time.

I... I'm saved...

Anyway, I'm surprised that
you suddenly transferred here.

Mahiron!

I didn't think we'd become classmates.

Right.

Well, I was surprised too...

Still, I wasn't aware that

you've been staying at home
to recover from your illness.

What?

So that's my backstory?

That's right, but I'm fine now.

Are you sure? You look a little pale.

I'm good! I just didn't get enough sleep.

You have to get up
early for school, after all.

It's because you've been lazing around.

In that case, I'll share some of
my energy with you!

What?

Cuddle.

-Here's a hug...
-Oh...

She smells like the sun.

Hey, Asahi!

I get it. Momiji wants a hug too.

Asahi is so affectionate.

Right, she's really cuddly sometimes.

Here's a hug for you too, Miyochin.

I'll pass!

I'm happy just to watch.

Cuddle...

Looks like I'm going to have
a bustling school life.

A long time ago, there was an old man
who cut bamboo in the mountains.

-He was in the mountains...
-I wasn't asked to answer questions.

I was worried about break time,

but I was able to spend it peacefully
thanks to Momiji and the girls.

I-I made it through the day safely...

Mahiro.

Let's go home together.

Okay!

Mahiro, how was your day?

Were you nervous?

I was doing good thanks to all of you.

I really don't know
what I'd have done if I had been alone.

Sorry, I have to use the toilet.

I'm about to leak...

No!

-Mahiro!
-W-What are you doing?

The girls' toilet is this way.

That was close.

I have to be careful...

Why are you two here?

What do you mean?

Right...

Girls go to the toilet together.

This makes me feel really shy...

The desserts there are really good.

You should join us next time, Mahiro.

Let's go together!

I'm almost there... Almost...

Just a little bit more...

Are you listening?

What?

Mahiro, we're at your home now.

OYAMA

I made it home!

Goodbye!

See you tomorrow, Mahiro.

See you tomorrow...

Wait, now's not the time to
think about that!

I'm going to leak...

Welcome home, Big brother...

No!

Man, this is depressing.

You say that, but you still got dressed.

I-I mean, if I took time off so soon,
everyone might be worried.

You should be honest with your feelings.

Here, your schoolbag.

Look, they're here to pick you up.

Good morning, Mahiro!

Your ribbon's crooked.

Good morning.

Be careful on the way.

-Goodbye.
-We'll be off now.

I'm leaving.

My schoolbag is so heavy.

You can do it. You'll get used to it.

You need to build up more strength.

So, how's school like?

I don't feel anything about it.

I see.

Mahiro is very popular.

Really?

What?

That's not true...

Isn't this great?

You have to enjoy your youth.

So tired...

I can't do this anymore.

I might as well ask Mihari to get
a driving license and get me to school.

At this rate, I'm going to
master sleep-learning.

That reminds me. What's the first class?

-Let's go already.
-I can't wait!

It's PE class, huh?

No wonder my schoolbag is so heavy.

Huh?

M-Mahiro...

What?

N-No, I didn't mean to...

Get a hold of yourself!

You boys!

So terrible!

W-We didn't see anything!

Sorry, boys.

I'll make it up to you
when I get the chance.

Let's go, Mahiro.

Where are we going?

Could it be...

GIRLS' CHANGING ROOM

Did you lose some weight?

Oh, no!

I'm surrounded by half-naked
middle school girls.

I have no idea where to look.

Is there a safe place?

That's a desolate and wide prairie...

It gives me a sense of security.

Where's Miyo?

I thought she'd like places like this.

Why are you hiding in a corner?

No!

GIRLS' CHANGING ROOM

Mahiro?

Miyo, you're surprisingly...

Stop staring!

S-Sorry!

It's obvious when I wear my gym clothes,
so I'm a little embarrassed.

It's not that bad during the winter
since we have to wear jerseys.

I guess those who're big
have it hard too.

Boobs are really profound.

All right, let's stretch in pairs first.

I don't like this.

Sorry.

It's really kind of embarrassing.

I won't lose to you today.

Just bring it on!

The two of them are so energetic.

They like sports very much.

By the way, what's for PE class?

I heard it's marathon training
for the entire month.

I hate it!

Assemble.

Today, we'll be recording your time
for a 1,500 meter run.

-This is starting to make me feel sick.
-Divide into two groups to time.

-Are you okay? You look pale.
-Group A runs first and Group B times,

-I think I have a stomachache.
-and vice versa.

Record your heartbeat rate
before and after you run.

-These records...
-Excuse me!

Excuse me, but Oyama is...

-Oyama, you go have a rest.
-What's wrong with her?

No, nothing...

What? Can I really do that?

I don't know what happened, but I'm saved.

All thanks to the
sickly teenage girl backstory.

You can do it, Miyo!

Momiji's pretty good.

Asahi's running so fast!

Finished!

You're really fast, Asahi!

Good work, everyone.

-Thanks!
-Thanks.

Thanks for helping me out just now, Miyo.

You're welcome.

Do you have that?

Let me know if you need anything.

"That"?

Have what?

What does that mean?

Tell me, Momiji.

Asahi...

-Let's go get changed.
-Come on, tell me! What's that?

And there you have it.

It's hard to tell them
it was a misunderstanding now.

But it's a good excuse to use
for taking a day off.

It's better not to do that.

Otherwise you'll be in a real fix
when it happens for real.

You're right...

Did you run into any other problems?

It was awkward changing into gym clothes.

And my classmates keep asking me
questions during break time.

My backstory needs to be
a little more meticulous.

-So far it seems fine, but...
-Big brother looks like he's having fun.

Seems like it was the right choice
to get him to attend school.

Oh, and I'm a little concerned
when boys look at me.

What do you mean? Tell me the details!

N-No, it was an accident...

-Accident?
-It happened in the boys' toilet.

Boys' toilet?

I-I'm done eating!

Wait, come back here!

Stay tuned!
