>Look!! It says here it's gonna get gradually sunnier from the South, right!?
>So...

>...
>Yuzuko-san.

>It's pretty much heavy rain right now, y'know?
>...

>Aw~ man~~ I wanted to go to the beach~
>Yeah~ And today is a half-day too~
>...We can just go on another day off.
>This is something that happened the day before.

p5
>Yui-chan! Yui-chan!!
>Wanna go somewhere tomorroW~?
>Hm?
>Oh, right.
>It's a half day because of the exams...
>Yui-chan! Yui-chan!!
>Wanna go somewhere tomorrow!?

>Wh-What's this pressure you two are piling on me...!?
>Oh, nothing really~ We just figured you'd want to do something with your precious day off.
>We should think of a fun place we don't usually go to~
>Huh!? What kind of theory is that...
>Now!! Where should we go, Yui-chan!?
>The mountains~ Or maybe the river~
>No, um...
>Those kinds of places!?

>I can't think of something that quickly...
>E-Erm...
>Maybe...the beach?

p6
>So you wanted to go somewhere in the end.
>Ehehe~ I saw a little bit of your true intentions, Yui-chan~
>But...
>Man, of all the times...
>I thought we could go to the beach~
>You wanted to go that badly?

>We've even got swimsuits.
>You're all ready!? Wait, you were planning on wearing them!!?
>Ah~ But me too~
>You guys... You're gonna catch colds, y'know?
>Eh~? Then...

>What about you, Yui-chan.
>..
>I guess I do at least want to check it out...
>Yay~

p7
>It really isn't stopping, huh~
>Can't be helped. Should we at least get something to eat before going back?

>W-Well I'm going in!!
>When it's this rainy?
>I'm going in
>even though it's just in this umbrella!!
>Pft

>What was the point of the swimsuits!?
>Well I was so frustrated~
>Ahahahahaha...Ah
>Hey,

p8
>If we take that train over there
>we can go further south, right?
>The weather forecast said it was gonna be sunnier down there, right~?

>...Ah, well...

>Let's go!
>Better not...

>Eh~ Why, Yui-chan~!!?
>Well, I mean, we don't know how far we need to go...

>Hey, wait!?
>You don't even know if it's gonna get any sunnier, do you!!?
>It'll be fine!! You've come this far so we may as well go all the way!!
>Wow~ It's a local line~!!

p9
>Ehehe~ It's like we're on a field trip~
>Ooh~ It's one of those mystery tours!!
>No, that's not exactly right.

>But y'know...
>it's not bad to do stuff like this once in a while...
>Ah, that's right. Yui-chan...

>Why did you say you wanted to go to the beach, yesterday?
>Eh?

p10
>Erm... There's no real reason.
>I was just in the mood for it.
>Hoho~?
>Feeling sentimental, huh~
>No, not that.
>Ah! I see it!!

>It's the sea. Yui-chan! Yuzu-chan!!
>Ooh~!!
>And it's gotten a little sunnier!!
>...Well, whatever.
>I'm sure I'm...

p11
>It's sunny~!!
>The sea~!!
>just simply
>wanted to go to the beach together...
...chan... Yui-chan...

p12
>Wake up, Yui-chan!!

>We're at the last stop!!
>...Eh?

>Hey, you two.

>Where's the sea?
>...Haha. Don't ask me.
>Ahaha... Seriously...

p13
>I'm glad there's less rain, but...
>Hmm...
>I think it's this way...?
>This really has turned into a mystery...

>M-Maybe the sea over here
>is by a sheer cliff...
>No no no...
>Oooh~ A mystery~
>Fu**koshi-sa~n
>...I can't exactly deny that...

>But why is it a mystery...
>Ah.

p14
>We're here~

>Thank goodness~ We didn't take a wrong turn.
>Yeah~ I thought it'd take us like an hour...
>Eh?
>It's the sea.
>Wait, Yui-cha...

p15
>We're here... We're finally here!!
>Yui-chan!?
>Wh-What are you doing!?

>Hey!! Yuzuko! Yukari!
>Hurry on over here~!!
>Wait

>Uh~ It's cold~
>Are you okay!?
>Ahaha, I got all we-...
>Ah!
>Behind you...

>A-Are you alright?
>...Th-The sea is...

p17

p19
>Waaah!!
>Sea~!!
>What are you doing to Yui-chan!?
>that's right!!

>If you're gonna do it at least knock us over too...

p20
>...Ahaha
>You're kidding me...

>Ahaha! I'm soaked~
>What was the point of bringing swimsuits~!?
>How stupid~!!

p21
>Hey.
>Hm?
>You wanna know why I said I wanted to go to the beach?
>It wasn't for sentimental reasons?

>Yeah.
>I think I just wanted
>to frolic around
>with you guys.

p22
>Ah~ Thank goodness~
>...For what?
>I mean~ Yui-chan
>the reason you suddenly started running off and shouting
>was because you wanted to frolic around with us...
>Uuh...
>...Well, that's...
>Ah.

p23
>It's sunset.

>Huh?
>...What's wrong?
>What time is our train back home again?
>Ah.

p24
>Yui-chan!! Yukari-chan!!
>H-Hurry!

>W-Wait...
>I-I...can't...

>Hah hah
>Wh-
>What do we do?
>Hah hah hah
>We got on the train while completely drenched.
>Hah...
>Ahaha...
>We didn't have enough time, after all~

p25
>But y'know
>Yui-chan was so cute
>even when she's drenched!!

>M-Morons...
>...Well, we should get dry before too long.
>Once we do we'll probably...
>Be all sticky and smell salty, right?
>Hah!!

>The smell of the sea has mixed with Yui-chan's smell.
>It's like a perfume that smells like summer...
>Eeh~ Reallly~...
>As if, moron!
>Hey! Stop that! Quit stiffing me!!

p26
>Phew~...
>Honestly, even on a day like this it's nothing but club activities.
>Hm?
>What's this...?
>Something smells summery?

>Eh!? ah...
>Oooh.

>So this is the cause.
>...Ah, hello, Kei?

p27
>I'm gonna send you something interesting.
>Eh? No... It's not that!
>Ah, that's right.
>Hey, next time, why don't you, me, and Chiho
>go to the beach together?
