01x07 - Cultural Festival I

[bunniefuu]

Summer break felt much

shorter than it really was.

It's now a new term.

And yet

Hey, could you hold up that end?

We're already busy getting ready

for our cultural festival.

You're so good with your hands, Izumi-kun.

Your feminine appeal is off the charts!

Oh Thanks.

Whew They can't really expect

us to do all this today, can they?

What? I think we can finish it today.

Yeah, totally!

High school girls these

days are so carefree

You're a high school girl, too, y'know.

I'm in the costuming group,

Balloons

Ornaments

Costumes

but Shikimori-san's on decor,

so we're working separately.

Izumi Filter

Hey, you just stabbed yourself.

We need cactus, right?

Then it'd be a desert.

There's no cactus growing around here!

Looks like they're having fun

We were in the same group last year,

so I got to talk with her a lot,

but we didn't get that chance this year.

They're so lucky

Izumi. Get to work.

Izumi-kun, do you know how to sew this?

Oh, yeah.

You insert the needle from the back

and push it through to the front.

Wow!

He's done it again!

Oh, I get it! You're so good!

Me?! I'm the one you're mad at?!

What did I do?!

Life sure is rough for her, huh?

#07 Cultural Festival I

Today's the first day of our

three-day cultural festival.

I'm nervous since our class's exhibit

is more demanding than last year's,

but I'll do my best!

Yuu, are you okay on time?

Oh, sh**t!

Cultural Festival

Heya!

C'mon, wait up!

What an unlucky number.

Nothing new for me, though.

They're doing it again this year, huh?

This game is really fun, huh?

Huh? Uh, yeah

Listen up, people!

We're gonna earn the highest

profit in the school

and win the prize that every

single student is hungry for:

the free after-party tickets!

Yeah!

Izumi, you and that costume

are tragically mismatched.

Well, no one's even gonna know who you are.

It looks hot, too.

I-Izumi-san

Oh, Shikimori-san.

I-I don't look weird, do I?

You don't think it's too audacious?

You look super cute!

Really? You look great, too!

You two! Quit staring at each

other and get to work!

The 97th Hachiou Festival will now begin.

Tiger

Welcome! How many in your party?

Welcome!

Over here, please!

Animal Café

Class 2-4's running an animal café!

Come on down!

Hey, look. Isn't that bunny adorable?

So cute!

Wow, that's really elaborate.

So cute!

Two chocolate ice creams,

one matcha ice cream,

an orange juice, a lemon squash, and

Can I get a picture?

S-Sure!

What kind of animal are you?

Um

What's this "giraffe parfait" like?

Excuse me! I still haven't gotten my order!

We're way too busy!

But I have to do the best I can!

Oh, crap!

What?! What did I step on?!

I don't have time to

watch where I'm walking!

Izumi-kun!

There it is! Just like always!

I

I have to save the ice cream!

You dork.

We're all here.

Don't rush around by yourself.

Sorry.

Well, as long as you understand

The rabbit turned the lion into a kitty-cat!

I'm exhausted.

We really had a lot of customers.

There'll probably be even more tomorrow.

Wow

Let's walk around together

tomorrow afternoon.

Sure. I'm looking forward to it.

You'll be working in the

library all morning, right?

What'll you be doing there?

Actually

The library's just open as a rest area,

so I won't be doing much.

I drew the three-hour shift

on the second day,

the one nobody really wanted.

Ah.

You're on duty at the animal

café all morning, right?

Yes.

What is it?

I just feel kinda bad.

Everyone else will be working hard.

Don't worry.

I'll work hard enough for the both of us.

Shikimori-san!

I'll work my hardest at my job, too!

Just be careful not to knock

any bookshelves over, okay?

I'll work hard!

Are you listening?!

I'll work so hard!

Come to think of it, there's supposed

to be one other person on library duty.

Library

Cultural Festival Venue

I hope it's someone in my grade, at least.

It'd be a little awkward to spend three

hours with someone I don't know.

Library

Notice from the Library Committee

Oh

I wondered who would be coming.

Hi, Izumi-kun.

Kamiya-san?

You're on the library

committee again this year?

I'm glad the other person

on duty is someone I know.

Mind helping me put these books away?

Sure.

I got to know Kamiya-san through

the library committee last year.

She's the volleyball team's ace. She's tall.

She's cool and composed,

pretty, and kind to everyone.

She's someone loved and admired

by boys and girls alike.

Class 1-4

Class 2-4

Class 1-3

Class 2-1

Last year, she was in the class next to mine,

so we had library duty together.

Book Borrowing

I was really nervous at first,

but Kamiya-san was friendly

and talked to me openly.

Anyway, it's unusual for you to

draw the short straw like this.

Not really.

What's your class doing for the festival?

A café.

Really? Same as my class, then.

They must really be struggling

without you there.

Oh Yeah, maybe.

People cried trying to stop

me from leaving yesterday.

I figured!

Café

Please don't go!

Have mercy on us!

You're always surrounded by people, huh?

You were crazy popular with the younger

students at the ball sports tournament.

Things are always chaotic

in class and at my club.

That's why I like the

occasional quiet moment.

Like right now, for example.

The library is open

as a rest area

-Library Committee

A Year and a Half Earlier

U-Um!

Would you like to borrow a book?

No, I'm here from the library committee!

I'm Izumi from Class 1-4!

Oh. Nice to meet you. I'm Kamiya.

Nice to mee— Ack!

Izumi-kun, was it?

You don't need to be so nervous.

We're in the same grade.

Y-Yeah, you're right.

It's my first time on library duty,

so I'm kinda nervous.

Thanks!

If you click this tab,

it'll sort everything for you.

This is where you input the names and

dates of everyone who borrowed books.

Got it.

You're good at explaining things, Kamiya-san.

I'm impressed.

We're starting with a run today, right?

Hi, Kamiya-san.

Hey, Izumi-kun.

You're here earlier than usual today.

Yeah.

I got the work I was asked to do for

the student council done yesterday.

My classmates asked me to

join them on a shopping run,

but I apologized and turned them down.

I see.

You're really nice, Kamiya-san.

Wh-What?

No one's ever told me that before.

Heaven, lake, flame, thunder,

wind, water, mountain, earth!

Library

Notice from the Library Committee

I see.

Then you can just relax

and leave the work to me.

Wh-What?

It's just you seem different somehow.

Huh? In what way?

Hmm, well

I guess

It must be because you got a girlfriend.

Y-You know about that?

Nekozaki told me.

We're in the volleyball club together.

Her name's Shikimori-san, right?

You two are in the same class

again this year? What luck.

Anyway, she's really pretty and

an amazing person, isn't she?

She was the star of the ball

sports tournament, too.

You must be pretty proud, huh?

Kamiya-san's a lot more

talkative than usual today

So, what was it like?

Huh?

I mean you know

How did you get together?

Huh?! Wh-Wh-Wh-Why do you ask that?!

I don't get to talk relationships

very often, so I was curious.

Nothing more than that.

So? What was it like?

You're super interested in this!

I swear it's not like that.

I swear there's no deeper meaning.

I-I'm just

interested in her.

How long have you been dating?

Which one of you asked?

Wh K-Kamiya-san

Why is she pressing me about Shikimori-san?

Could it be that Kamiya-san

likes Shikimori-san?!

Animal Café

Anyone in our class have matching numbers?

Couple Numbers

Hmm Doesn't look like

there are any pairs.

Well, there are about 600 students here.

Let's go check out the other classes!

I'm totally gonna find mine this year!

Inu

Izumi

Ueda

Satou

Shikimori

Takeda

Tanachuu

Micchon, we gotta go get ready.

Glaring at the numbers isn't

gonna change anything.

You can't blame her.

This "Couple Numbers" game

jinxes the two people with the same

number to be together forever.

It was kind of a low-key hit last year, too.

Allow me to explain.

Couple Numbers is a famous

event at our school,

sponsored by the student council.

Who are you talking to?

Couple Numbers

Numbers for all 600 students in the school

are posted outside their classrooms.

The goal is to find the one student

whose number matches yours

and take a picture together to

complete this high-difficulty quest.

What "quest"?!

Well, last year, that was how Shikimori

Couple Numbers

So it probably bugs her that some rando

might get to take a picture with Izumi.

Some rando?

I've made up my mind.

A-About what?

I will find whoever has Izumi-kun's number

and trade with them!

Library

Micchon, th-that face!

At least let the poor rando live!

Library

Notice from the Library Committee

So

When did you and Shikimori-san start dating?

O-Okay, I'll tell you.

K-Kamiya-san is always so cool and calm,

but she's so interested in Shikimori-san

Go on, tell me.

Well, we ended up walking around together

at last year's cultural festival.

Couple Numbers

What?! This is amazing, Izumi-san!

You and I have the same number!

Wow, you're right! Cool!

I wonder how often this happens

U-Um, so, I-Izumi-san

Would you take a pic

This is the thing where you become

a couple after taking a picture, right?

A pic p-picture

I've never won a raffle before in my life!

Is a miracle like this possible?

M-Maybe

since I was thinking of asking

Shikimori-san out today,

A p-pic picture w-with

is God giving me a push?

For now, do you want to walk around?

Oh!

Where should we go?

Luck

Too bad! Your consolation

prize is a balloon!

Hey, Shikimori!

Couple Numbers

Photo Booth

They're taking Couple Numbers photos.

It's in a pretty conspicuous place

W-We'd take a photo in

the middle of all this?

Um!

Izumi-shan, would you please

take a picture with me?!

Huh?!

Oh, sorry! I was planning to

do that from the start.

D-Does that mean

Huh?

Izumi-san?

Huh? I'm sure it was in my pocket Huh?

Huh?! Huh?!

Izumi-san?!

I think I lost it

It's all over.

I thought something seemed weird.

I knew this was way too lucky for me

It was just to get my hopes up

and then let them drop.

Shikimori-san's fed up, too.

Sorry.

Maybe God's warning me not to ask her out

because I'd just cause trouble for her.

Why do I always

Izumi-san.

What?

Let's look for your number.

We'll never find it.

How can you be so sure?

I'm positive! That's how it always is!

Then let's change that today.

Sorry!

I might not be able to find it by myself,

so would you help me look for it?!

Sure!

Let's go!

I'm sorry! I lost my number!

But our numbers match!

You have to believe me!

Please!

They Didn't Find It

Couple Numbers

Photo Booth

The rules state that you have to take

the picture holding your numbers.

So, no.

Guess not

Please, we beg you!

No.

Shikimori-san, we just can't—

Then let's change that today!

Couple Numbers

Photo Booth

Please!

Impossible or not

Nothing feels worse than

not doing anything at all.

I desperately want my

picture taken with her!

Couple Numbers Photo Booth

President, what are you doing?

Hold this and stand over there.

This is great!

I'm happy for you both!

We'll take your picture over there.

I can't believe the committee

president allowed this!

Um Thank you.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Oh, right.

And

Good luck.

Okay, smile! He's taking it now!

I felt pathetic, but since she gave me

that push, we got our photo taken.

And after that, behind the gym

O-One thing led to another,

and I asked her out, I guess.

Sorry to ramble like that

when you didn't even ask

Kamiya-san?

That's the best tale of youth I've ever heard.

What an elegant reaction!

Whew I talked about myself way too much.

I see

I see.

There's no number 44.

There are three grades with over

fifteen classes between them.

And there's not much time left. Give it up.

It has to be someone in another class

I wonder what the person

who has it is like

Ozaki

Kamiya

Kanzaki
