03x12 - Okinawa Saijouriku (Ura)

[bunniefuu]

This is a work of fiction. Underage drinking is strongly prohibited and ill*gal. We also do not encourage the forceful or excessive consumption of alcohol, nor do we endorse the litany of depraved and shameful acts portrayed in the binge-drinking scenes.
We ask that you view this as a comedy anime and nothing more. Furthermore, all characters drinking in this work are of legal drinking age. In keeping with the recent social climate, the black circles have been increased 5% in size from this season.

I was too drunk to realize last night,
but this is the love hotel district, huh?

What?!

Why am I here?!

Hey, I invited you to go diving.

I wasn't expecting it to be in Okinawa,
or that it'd just be the two of us.

Can you blame me?
The seniors were too busy to make it.

Well, yeah, you sprung an Okinawa
trip on them at the last minute.

Frankly, I wouldn't be here if not
for Kaya-sama's radio show, either.

Oh, I lied about that.

All right! Let's get going!

Where to, exactly?

Rental car service.

We'd better get an actual car this time.

Mid-engine design!

A six-speed manual transmission!

Two doors, four-wheel drive!

Another damn pickup!

Why are we stuck with this again?!

I thought the same at first!

But I figured it'd help us
blend in with the locals.

As much as I hate to admit it, good point.

Okay, let's head back to the airport
and wait for our targets.

Sheesh.

We're here! Okinawa, take two!

Good that we're getting
perfect weather, huh, Chisa?

Yep.

Targets sighted.

Good. Keep tracking them.

Of course.

So, about getting in their way...

Don't worry. I've made my move.

What? Already?

Kitahara, for one, is sure to be
majorly distracted by it.

Great job, Kohei.
I'll buy you a drink later.

They're having fun.

They sure are.

Chisa was nervous at first, too.
But look at her now.

Yeah, I thought the same,

but she chilled out once Kitahara
showed her his underwear.

Why?

Maybe seeing him look like
his usual self helped her relax.

O-Oh... So beneath
all that fun and smiles...

they look like this.

Chisa's been desensitized!

But as a result, things are
all comfy between them.

Ugh...

Kohei, what happened to your thing?

It doesn't seem to be working.

What?!

It's sure to distract any living,
breathing human being, though.

Are they not checking
the rearview mirror?

Looks like they're stopping somewhere.

Lunch?

Looks like it.

Hey, we haven't been able
to get in their way at all.

Unfortunately not,
even with my perfect strategy.

So much for perfect.

So, what did you do?

I made an addition to the front
and the doors of this car.

No wonder I felt like
we were being stared at!

BDSM stuff?

Outdoors kink?

You're wrong!

You'd think it would prove
effective, though, right?

Well, yeah. Even I'd get distracted.

But since it didn't work,
I'm calling it off!

It is what it is.

What did Iori get, by the way?

A hamburger, I think.

Hamburger?!

This is bad... Very bad news.

Why?

I mean, I bet it came with fries!

Ah, the classic.

I'm so envious.

Eyes on the road!

Fine, I'll distract them for you.

'Kay.

What's the plan?

They can't get all feedy
when being watched.

But we can't watch them directly.

It's okay. I saw that the bed
had something we could use.

When it's ready, overtake them.

All right.

It's sure to work on Kitahara.
He has an IQ lower than a crow's.

Dunno why, but this simplistic
plan is the best one so far.

And it's actually working, too.

We are dealing with Kitahara, after all.

Aww, they were having a moment,
but it should've been me.

You'd be happy with that?

More than happy.

Very well. Give me a second.

Okay, open your mouth.

Huh? W-Wait...

Kohei? I didn't mean to...

Looks like they're about
to jump into the water.

I'm prepping over here, too.

Prepping what?

Denied.

Why? It's a disguise and sunburn-
countermeasure rolled into one!

That's basically your trademark now!

But I look like a completely
different person.

Give me that.

Huh? What are you going to do?

That'll do. I dyed your wig black, too.

Kohei can do this, but I can't?

Don't cry. You'll make the makeup run.

Okay, your disguise next.

Imamura-kun?

Er, um...

Oh, wait, are you Ikegoshi-san?

Huh?

Fancy running into you here.

I-It is. Hello.

Hey, what now?

Do we have a choice? Fake it!

Don't worry. I can keep it secret.

Secret?

Keep what secret?

Congratulations on getting
engaged to the voice actress.

Urgh!

Engaged... to a voice actress?

Oh no! Hold it in, Kohei!

Thank you.

Wait, what?

We're actually here on a
pre-wedding holiday incognito.

You are both famous.

Must be nice to have a partner who
also understands the celebrity lifestyle.

It sure is!

It isn't realistic for an ordinary
person to date a voice actor.

Kohei, you...

Ikegoshi-san, you're bleeding!

Oh, did I cut myself?

I'll go get a first-aid kit?

Why did I put myself
and my dreams down like that?

You did great, Kohei!

Kitahara's actually enjoying
his time on the beach.

I mean, yeah, but...

Hey!

What's up?

Look at Chisa's swimsuit!

What's wrong with it?

It's new.

Quit getting worked up
about something so minor.

But get this!

I went and bought two swimsuits this year.

Three for me.

You love the ocean. You must buy
a few swimsuits each year, right?

Yeah, but that's probably it
for me this year.

I hear you.

Yet she went and bought another one.

And look at Iori!

He got a new one too?

I can't believe it...
He's actually dressed.

Sorry about that! She's got issues!

Aren't you going to swim?

Who, me?

If you're not going, I'll go by myself.

You? Swimming alone?

Hey, we're at an Okinawan beach.

These waters would make anyone
want to take a dip, right?

You're not sounding like yourself at all.

Quiet. Shut your mouth.

What, do you want to see me in a swimsuit?

Perish the thought.

The pitiful sight of you in a swimsuit
doesn't move my heart one bit.

The hell? That's so rude!

If you're gonna be like that,
no thank-you gift for you.

What's that?

I did feel bad for dragging you into this,

so I got Kanako to ask Maya-san
to make a voiced alarm clock for you.

Uh, Kohei?

The emotions... they overwhelm me.

Yeah, yeah.

You're giving me such a wonderful gift...

Happy?

Do you like me or something?

Don't apply your standards to me.

Anyway, let's get in at a distance
so they don't spot us.

Yeah.

The sanshin show will begin now.

Gotta have Onion beer when in Okinawa!

They just started drinking.

We don't have to worry
about anything happening here.

Then let's have fun too.

Cheers!

This place is great.

Right? I hear celebrities
come here incognito.

- Huh...

- Good concert today!

- Yeah, I can see that.

- Tonight we celebrate!
Drink all you want!

- You're paying?

Nah, we're splitting the bill.

You can see what?

Nothing. Never mind.

Oh, yeah, Cakey.

What? Oh, this is also great.

At this point, it's safe to say
you're in love with Kitahara, right?

Huh? Wha... ubh...

Settle down and speak Japanese.

I forgot I was keeping it from him!

I mean, I...

Don't you dare play the "friend" card.
It's too late for that.

Ugh...

You fell for him, of all people?
It's a total mystery to me.

Lay off. I like who I like.

That's fair.

People can't control
who they fall in love with.

Well, good luck with that.

Thanks.

What's this about?

That's what I want to know.

You didn't!

Yeah, yeah, enough of that.

What exactly did you book?

I just identified where Iori and Chisa
were staying and booked a room for two.

It seems they only have double beds here.

Talk about lazy.

Wait, does that mean their room too?

We don't have any rooms like that.

That's a familiar face!

Knew it.

What are they going to do?

They'll probably get another room, no?

I'd feel a lot better if they did.

We're all booked up,
so I can't give you one.

Dude!

This is bad. Really bad.

They'll give up and sleep on the same bed.

Right? What if one thing leads to another?

Now you're overthinking it.

How can you be sure?

They live together, you know?

I know that,

but we can't say for sure
nothing's gonna happen.

Sheesh.

Then go find out for yourself.

I was going to.

It's too bad that you
have to camp outside.

Huh? When did we decide that?

- You're welcome to sleep
in the tub if you want.

- They're the same as ever.

See what I mean?

- Anyway, our room's
a more pressing issue.

- Why can't we just take the bed corners?

We've slept on each other
before, remember?

For real?!

It must be a mistake!

That was an accident.

I was sore for days after that.

Cakey!

Goodbye, my youthful romance.

Calm down! I bet it's just
a misunderstanding, like always!

But there's a chance
it becomes real tonight.

Fine! I'll handle it!

Kohei?

If a room becomes available,
they will sleep in separate rooms.

Smart move, Kohei!

But now we don't have a room.

True.

Let's look for one.

Where can we spend the night?

See anything?

I mean, I do, but...

Not here!
Let's look for a hotel elsewhere!

What's up, Kohei?

Kohei?!

Hey, what's wrong?!

Huh?

If...

If I'd known I was
going to be hurt this way,

I would've been better off
a flower or a blade of grass.

What the hell's gotten into you?!
What exactly did you see?

God is telling me to die.

k*ll... k*ll me.

I get that you're upset, but can you
save it for after we find a room?

It's not even a big...

People can't control
who they fall in love with.

We need to find a place to sleep.

k*ll me...

k*ll me now...

I'm only doing this because
there was no other choice, okay?!

We really spent the night.

Last resort or not, I can't believe
I stayed in a love hotel with Kohei.

We'll be late for the boat!

Come on! Stay on your feet!

Phew. We'll make it now...

What?!

You guys...?

Oh, uh, erm...

I'm Yurika Muranaka, the voice actress.

What? Voice actress?

That's right!

And this is my fiance, Yuichi Ikegoshi!

Oho?

C'mon, Ikego... Yuichi-san.
Say hello to your friend.

He looks to be in pretty bad shape.

Not at all. Hey, Yuichi-san?

I don't care about some
stupid Ikegoshi or whatever.

Hey!

It's not what you think! He just
received some bad news last night.

Mhm.

He's lost all hope right now,
but he's still Yuichi Ikegoshi!

Mm-hmm.

You're saying you're Ikegoshi
and his voice actress fiancee.

Exactly!

By the way,

that's one peculiar shirt.

And you're clearly just Cakey.

Anyway, you've got the wrong people!

What do you think?

What is there to think?

I can't get through to them.

If they're not answering,
it's gotta be them.

Right? Cakey's a terrible liar...

Oh?

Is that Aina?

Nah, somebody else.

I had no idea those two
were together, though.

It didn't seem like that to me.

There's a chance
it's not what it looks like.

With when and where we saw them?

It's exactly what it looks like.

But it's Aina and Imamura-kun, you know?

Okay, yeah, you got me there.

Either way, we have to question them...

Question them, and?

I must know if Kohei lost
his virginity before me.

That's what you're curious about?!

What's got you so irritated?

How could I be calm about this?

I could never lose out to Kohei
in the biggest race of a man's life!

Also, you know he always says
he has no interest in 3D women!

It's not a big deal.

Like hell it's not!

Let me translate it into
a language you'll understand.

Sakurako wins a diving trip
to Rangiroa and says to you...

I'd much rather go shopping than diving.

How would that make you feel?

She's going down.

Right?

Gah! This bothers me so much!

Yeah? Well, I'll be over there.
Bother yourself...

Wait, it bothers you?

Huh? What's wrong with that?

Nothing.

I think most people would say
they were "annoyed."

Okay, let's meet up under the buoy.

Okay.

We should go too.

I know, I know.

Iori.

Clear your mind for now.

I'll see you there.

"Clear your mind," huh?

Yeah, I'm back in Okinawa
to try diving here again.

Back then, I could only
watch on from above.

But this time...

Chisa!

What's the matter?

Lemme see too!

Pics from today's dive, right?

Oh, yeah.

Sea turtles are so awesome close up!

Feel better now?

Huh?

Oh, yeah, I guess.

Seeing the world underwater

felt so good because I didn't get
the chance to experience it last time.

It made me forget about the stuff
that was bothering me.

So, you're not curious
about those two anymore?

Now I wouldn't go that far.

- So, you found out about our
Okinawa trip, got envious...

- Yep, yep!

- rushed to Okinawa, but didn't have
a room to stay due to a booking error?

- Yep, yep!

That's why we were forced
to stay the night there!

Then why is he dead?

The news of Maya-san's
marriage destroyed him.

Nothing to do with me.

I see.

I get it now.

I figured it was something like that.

We've cleared the air now, right?

It really was Kohei and Cakey.

What does that mean?

It means we have faith in you,
in multiple ways.

Which leaves this
as the only issue left on our plate.

She gave Kohei the strength
to keep living, after all.

I doubt he'll be ready
to dive tomorrow either.

Here, Kohei, beer.

Can you drink?

Should we order a soft drink instead?

Hey, I get why you're not
in the mood to drink,

but alcohol can help you
forget your troubles.

Oh?

Kohei?

I'm so sad... I'm so sad that it feels
my heart is being torn in two,

but as a true fan, I will congratulate
her from the bottom of my heart!

Well said, Kohei!

You're a fan among fans, Kohei!

That's amazing.

Thanks, you guys.

Well, time for another toast, then.

Right.

Yeah.

To an Okinawan night, take two!

Here's to diving together again.

May this be an unforgettable memory!

To Kaya-sama's eternal happiness!

Cheers!

Kitahara!

Huh?

I finally found you.

Sakurako?

Why are you here, too?

Cheers for that.
