>What is this?
>That's...

>An anti-earthling interface from the Bureau of Immigration!
>So you're an Earthling, huh? Do you wish to migrate?

>No thanks!
>Is that so?

>Well then, Martian, you should be avoiding contact with Earthlings outside of the Bureau of Immigration.
>That is Martian policy.
>At this rate,

p7
>you will have to be deported back to Mars.

>...I'm going to be seperated from May...?
>What do I do...?

p8
>...May.

>That's oppression. The Martian government have such stubborn brains!
>May and Satsuki are on a school trip!
>School trip... Accessing database...
>"A school trip is an excursion-like school event associated with a student's education in which they move in groups and lodge together to study by observation." Is that correct?

>That's wrong!
>A school trip is...

p9
>all about making priceless memories!!

>Priceless?

>You mean it is something with a value that cannot be measured by a specific price?
>Exactly!
>Gathering a consensus from the higher ups. Please wait a moment.

p10
>...A consensus with the higher ups has been reached.
>You will be given a grace period.
>Please demonstrate the usefulness of this "school trip".

>...Eh?

>You mean we can continue our school trip?
>Correct.
>Ooh! May knew you'd understand!
>However,

>after one year has passed, you must present your findings on the entirety of Japan.
>If there are any issues, you will be deported.
>No way! We can't walk across the entirety of Japan in a year. Can't you give us a handicap?

p11
>In that case, you will be granted access to the Environmental Protection Agency's warpgates.

>We can use warpgates!?
>What are those?

>They are dotted all across Japan.
>Please use these to conduct your "school trip".

>This is way too amazing!!

p12
>So what does that mean exactly?
>Hmph!!
>Foolish Satsuki. Allow May to explain!

>Hokkaido.
>Touhoku.
>Hokuriku.
>Kyoto.
>Hiroshima.
>Kyuushuu.
>We're gonna experience the staple landmarks of a school trip!
>I see.

>Warp Gate License Key and Gate Map have been transferred.

>Well then, I look forward to seeing you in a year.

p13
>Okay, Satsuki!
>The second chapter of our school trip has begun!!
>R-Right!

>Whatever. What's our goal here?

>We're gonna look at ice floes!
>Ice floes?

p5
>Ice floes are these big slabs of ice!
>They're frozen parts of the Siberian river that drift all the way here to Japan. It's a beautiful sight to behold!

>Heh~ I thought ice is made when it's cold.
>!

>That's right! There's no way to make ice floes in this climate!

>It build up a lot of unique culture in various genres such as business, performing arts and food.
>It's gotten various nicknames such as "The Water Capital", The World's Kitchen", "Gluttony Town", "One Takoyaki Machine Per Household" and "Eternal Reunion"!
>There was definitely an insult mixed in, wasn't there...?

>Both great ideas, but...

p4
>Osaka's hidden side...
>is that it's a country of comedic carnage...

p1
>Gyu-tan is more a bleh - Satsuki

p2
>Warp complete!! We're here~ Tanabata in Sendai!!
>Ooh~

>But still, Sendai was famous for Tanabata festivals, huh?
>It's more than that. There's Data Masamune.

>Zunda mochi, hagi no tsuki, sasakama, Mt. Jougi's fried tofu, the Great Kannon.
>Where do you get all of this knowledge from?

>There's plenty more, but first and foremost...

p3
>Having Tanabata in Sendai
>is chic!!
>That's why May went through the trouble of bringing this huge bamboo through the warpgate.
>You're enjoying this way too much.

>I've heard stories about Tanabata, but is this really what it's like?

>Eh? You've never done Tanabata, Satsuki?
>You could get any wish you wanted granted!
>I'm too old for it.

p4
>Over here, Satsuki~
>Ah, right.

>But if I remember correctly... Orihime and Hikoboshi only get to see each other once a year, right...?
>Not being able to see someone you want to see is rough.

p5
>You're so dumb, Satsuki~
>Good grief~

>Huh!?

>Tsk, tsk, tsk. Listen closely. If they meet once a year,
>how many times do you think the planets Vega and Altair would meet between their birth and death?

>?
>By my calculations based on a planet's approximate lifespan,

p6
>it would be 8 billion times.
>That many!?

>If they got to meet everyday, it'd be 8 billion x 365 days.
>That's approximately 2.92 trillion times!!
>That's way too astronomical...

>That's right.
>The two people who get to spend the most time together in the entire universe

p7
>are Orihime and Hikoboshi!!

>Even if they could only see each other once every 10,000 years, it'd still be more than enough~
>T-True... It'd still be 80,000 times...

>Hah~

p8
>That's pretty grand.

>But as far as wishes are concerned, it has to be this, right?
>That's right. The most important wishes are the ones you grant yourself.
>This much is perfect!
>Like you're one to talk.

p9
>Now then, where should we go next?
>Gotta hit Comiket for summer!!
>No, we went there the other day, didn't we!?
>Good things are good no matter how many times you go~
>>I pray that we can have a fun Tanabata together again next year!! - Satsuki - May
