Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3

I leave him to you.

What are you talking about?
I can't stop him.

Don't be so sure.

You're technically a little sister, too.

You want me to call him "Onii-chan"?!

Oh?

Chisa, I hate to break it to you...

But it seems you fail.

That pisses me off, for some reason.

Beer on the train feels pretty good!

Yeah, whatever.

It goes well with
the packed lunch, so try it...

What's the matter?

Uh, I feel like I'm drunk.

Huh? With just a beer?

How could you not realize?

I can't go home in a drunken state, can I?

Have some water then.

I'll go buy some soft drinks.

By the way, Kitahara.

You and Kotegawa
aren't blood-related, right?

Oh, that?

My dad was adopted, is all.

A fight?

Doesn't sound like Japanese.

I'll go tell them to cool it 'cause
they're bothering everyone else.

What's wrong, Kitahara?

Shh. Don't ask.

We should leave them well alone.

What did you see...

Don't! You'd be going on
a whole different wild ride!

Let's wait for the storm to pass.
They'll pipe down.

Are you sure?

See?

What now?

Kohei...

We came alone, nobody else
with us. Are we clear?

Seriously, what is going on?

Well, that upset my stomach.
I'll be in the restroom.

This is my lover.

Whoa, whoa! I dunno what's
going on, but we'll hear you out!

Kohei Imamura will, that is.

Don't throw me to the wolves!

What's the problem?

They're strangers, foreigners at that!
I don't have the social skills for this...

All's well that ends well.

Okay, okay! I think so!

Go for it!

Bonding with them just made things worse!

Oh, uh...

I don't get a word of what they're saying.

I should copy Kohei and play along.

Okay, okay. I think so!

Okay, okay.

Double standards!

Translate for me.

Tell them I don't want any smoke.

Not happening, dude.

Why not?

Forget what they're saying, I don't
even know what language that is.

How the hell did you bond with them, then?

This transcends borders and languages.

I guess, but still...

Hey, hey.

Huh?

Whatever you said, you're on.

Us PaB members might
not be winners all the time...

But drinking's the one thing
we can never lose at!

Ugh.

This booze...

We're not done!

We're just getting started here!

What are you doing?!

I'm so sorry!

Forgive them! They're bakas!

Apologize!

Sumimasen.

Gomennasorry.

Sorry! We're so sorry!

Ugh! Damn it!

What was their deal, anyway?

Beats me. They just started talking to me.

Tourists having too much fun, I guess.

At any rate, I really feel for that girl.

Oh?

Why's that?

It's gotta be exhausting
dealing with two idiots.

I was thinking the same thing!

Me too.

Wha?!

Do you guys really think
you're the normal ones here?!

You took the words out of my mouth!

No, mine!

He should be here soon.

Now, where do I hide this?

You're not getting it until you
agree to take over the ryokan,

brother shittiest.

Hello.

Welcome to Kitahara Ryokan.

Long time no see, Uncle and Aunt.

It's good to see you again, Chisa-chan.

How you've grown.

And would you happen
to be a friend of Iori's?

No, my name is Kohei Imamura,

and I'm Shiori-chan's real big brother.

What is wrong with you?!

Why're you dropping bombs on my family?!

I wasn't trying to, obviously.

That just makes it even worse!

Explain this, dear.

Don't worry.
I don't acknowledge him as my son.

Yo, dad! That sounded like a scumbag move!

So, who is he, really?

A friend from club, I think.

Whatever. That's not important right now.

Where's my passport, Mom?

Huh? I don't know...

But I think Shiori took it.

Could you get it for me, Shiori?

Never in a million years.

Listen, I have to go to Palau next week.

No need.

You'll be living right here...

for the rest of your life.

You really freak me out sometimes.

How can I change your mind?

Rethink your life, better yourself,

do what you need to do,
and you'll get it eventually.

Be more specific!

I'll trade him for it!

Shiori-chan, it's me. Kohei-niisama.

Chisa-neesama, why don't you start
with a dip in the hot spring?

That sounds great.
I'm all sweaty from the trip.

Is there anything you want, Shiori?

Nothing.

DSLR.

A competent son.

Nobody asked you!

The towels are right
over there, Chisa-neesama.

Enjoy your stay.

Hey!

Shiori?!

Damn! And we have to leave soon, too!

She won't budge anytime soon.

Stubborn little sisters are great, too.

What am I supposed to do here?

Hmm, you could try
asking her really sincerely.

Or try to score points
by doing nice things for her.

Butter her up, basically.

Get going. We don't have time.

But why should I have to?

Huh?

Kitahara?

She's just throwing
a childish little tantrum.

Try to put herself in her shoes, though.

To hell with that!

I've got my own sh*t to worry about!
As her big bro, I'll go set her straight.

Give it a rest already, Shiori!

I said I'd even lick your boots!

I set her straight.

Sure, if you say so.

Did you get your passport?

Figuratively, yes.

Unfortunately, passports are material.

Precisely. So I'll sneak
into her room and steal it.

You sure jumped straight
to extreme measures!

Which route has the least traffic?

Hmph. This is why you're a phony big bro.

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

A true big bro could butter up
his little sister easy-peasy.

You're saying you could do better?

But of course.

The key to buttering someone up
is careful observation.

Oho?

First, disguise yourself to avoid
being noticed by your target.

Right.

Follow them in close proximity and record
every possible detail of their life.

Mhm.

Analyze your findings
to figure out their preferences.

Interesting. Go ahead and do just that.

Welcome back.

Be careful, Kitahara! It seems
somebody's stalking Shiori-chan!

Oh, yeah, I'm not surprised.

What now? Turning yourself in?

Not me!

A very warm welcome to you!

I was watching her
through the camera lens when...

You saw your reflection?

I said it wasn't me!
Get it through your skull!

I saw the pervert.

For a total of two perverts, then.

Where'd the other one come from?

It should be fine now that
the cops are on the case, right?

It's not that simple!

That was observation! The execution
phase is a whole different thing!

Oh? Of course you'd be an expert on this.

Save it. Now's not the time for flattery.

They'll use the data
to make a direct approach.

We have to exterminate
the pervs before that.

How do we identify the pervs, though?

That's where you come in.

Why me?

Takes one to know one, you know?

Now listen here.

I wish it were that easy.

Nothing out of the ordinary here.

How?!

Does that look ordinary to you?!

What are you even talking about?

The hot spring was great. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear it.

Blue Spring Kirara [Child]

Sheesh. Better bail them out.

Yeah.

What's up?

Give me a second.

What?

I want to help them. I really do...

But my soul is siding with those men!

Do you really want to
see them dressed in that?

If you want Shiori to despise you,
we could hang back and watch.

What kind of big bro can't protect
his little sister from harm?

Yeah, but you're nobody to her.

Hey, you guys.

Drop it.

You're making them uncomfortable.

These punks...

They think they have the upper hand.

Look, a policeman!

Hold it!

You okay, Shiori?

Yes, Nii-sama. Thank you for helping us.

Oh, it was nothing.

That could've gotten messy
if I hadn't come along.

Right.

Times like these remind me
siblings gotta stick together.

Right.

So you'll gimme my passport?

Wrong.

But why? I saved her a*s!

Her hardheadedness is lovely.

Lovely, my a*s! What now?

Um...

Oh, it's you.

Aren't you with those guys?

Yes. We're in the same club.
My name is Carina.

I hear they bothered you again just now!

Oh, uh, I mean, not us...

Don't go bothering Shiori-chan, though!

Oh, so sorry!

They both have a thing for Japanese girls.

They did seem to be into Shiori and Chisa.

They especially like "Kirara Yoimachi."

Kira...? Who's that?

Kirara
Yoimachi

- She's the little sister character
from Blue Spring.

- Kindergartner, ryokan proprietress,
and my little sister in a past life.

- I've always thought Shiori-chan
was the spitting image of her.

I'll give them a good talking-to!

Please do. They might try to sneak
into the girls' beds otherwise.

I'm truly sorry about this!

Okay, see you around.

Okay, time to sneak into Shiori's... Huh?

What's wrong?

I think I dropped the ryokan's blueprint!

Say what?!

What if they got their hands on it?
My little sister's in danger!

Not your sister.

Hmm?

Let's go, Kitahara!

- A big bro always comes to...

- Hold it!

Why stop me?!

Shiori's in danger here, right?

That's what I've been saying, dude!

That means...

it's my best chance to
make her owe me big time.

You scum!

Wh-Who?!

Hello, I am Tanaka.

Hi, I'm Ken.

Are you from Canada?

No, I'm from America.

H-Hentai!

Somebody help!

Hold it.

Ye ain't layin' a finger on Shiori.

Nii-sama!

You okay, Shiori?

Thank you, Nii-sama.

You're the best! I couldn't ask
for a better brother!

Aw, stop it.

I'll give back your passport
to show my gratitude!

That's the plan.

Not happening. The way I see it,

here's how it'll play out.

Ichiro plays tennis.

Hanako likes soccer.

Hold it!

I'll keep my sister safe!

Something like that.

First of all, what are you
doing in Shiori's room?

And naturally...

Thank you, Kohei-niisama!

Don't mention it.

Let me show my appreciation.

Have your way with me! Destroy me!

Shiori-chan!

...that's where it'll go.

I can't believe
you can say that to my face.

Quit making me blush.

Forget all that and help me
get my passport back!

My relationship
with Shiori-chan comes first!

Fine. Let's meet halfway.

Huh?

Let's combine our plans.

I see.

Thank you, you two!

Aw, stop it.

Don't mention it.

Let me show my appreciation.

You can destroy this passport!

If you're okay with that, sure.

Did you cook your brain in the bath?

The question is, will they
actually try something?

I guarantee it.

There's no way Kirara Yoimachi
fans could lay off Shiori-chan.

Man...

Are they really that similar?

Yeah. She's her in the flesh.

Kotegawa's like her too,
but she's too old.

Hang on. First, what's with
my change of clothes?

What happened to the ones you wore here?

I don't see them.

Then I guess you'll just have
to wear those.

Over my dead body!
Who even put these here?

One second, my daddy.

What is it, my son?
Hurry up and get changed.

I would if I could! Gimme back my clothes!

You don't want to wear that?

Do you even have to ask?!

I see. I guess I'll have to wear it
with you for solidarity,

Wait, did your brain get cooked too?

Why the Kirara Yoimachi
costume all of a sudden?

Well...

Some guests in the lobby earlier...

Please stop, sirs.

What's wrong?

I'm having trouble with these guests.

I've been trying to refuse,
but they won't listen.

Got it. Let your father handle this.

I thought Iori could wear it
since he has the same genes.

True.

I'm a dude, though? Kinda important!

Anyway, Shiori-chan's in trouble!

Those guys don't know when to quit!

Shiori-chan!

You okay?!

You two!

Huh?

Why are they out?

I have no clue.

I'm glad you're all right.

You had us worried.

Thank you for your concern.

But if you care so much,
maybe you should move back home.

I categorically refuse.

Kohei-niisama's ready to move in anytime.

I think you're much more suited
to city life, Kohei-niisama.

Yeah, the sticks
don't get all the anime on TV.

Just stream it.

What's this?

A handkerchief soaked with drugs?

Ch...

Huh?

Dad passed out, too?

When did that happen?

The fatigue from running the ryokan
must've caught up to him.

It's good you were okay this time...

...you should be careful
around guests like them.

Indeed.

But don't you worry.
Big Bro will protect you tonight.

Thank you! You'll stay
beside me forever, won't you?

Oh, nah, I've got school and all.

Perish the thought. You are
very ill-suited to academic pursuits.

Kohei! Steer the conversation!

On it.

Oh, I see now!

What is it, Kohei?!

They're resting up now so they can sneak
into her room in the dead of night!

Say what now?!

Damn them! I know
Shiori's cute and all, but come on!

Shiori-chan's in real danger!
We have to do something!

Glance.

But what can we do?!

She needs someone smart, strong,
and dependable to protect her!

Glance.

They're going to sneak
into Shiori's room tonight!

No doubt about it!

After all, they have Kitahara's
handmade infiltration route!

Yeah!

Ow! Ow!

Anyway, you're in danger tonight.

Really?

What do we do, Nii-sama?

Got 'em! All according to plan!

Now I can get my passport back!
