>Lovely weather today, isn't it, Shion-chan?
>So refreshing.

>Hiroe-san!?

p104
>H-Hiroe-san! What's wrong!?
>Uuh, Hana-chan.
>I think I'm done for...

>The truth is
>Now that the summer course is over, I wanted to continue on at the prep school even after summer vacation ended.

>My!
>That's a big leap forward!
>Amazing, Hiro-san!
>Y-Yeah.
>I thought I'd try my hardest.

>However...
>Prep School

>Please let me continue you after summer vacation!

>Okay. You can continue.
>Ah, but...
>Hm?

>Does she think that I am weak of will!?
>I'm fine!!

p105
>Eh?
>Don't worry. My determination is as solid as arock!
>I-Is that so.
>Yes!!

>Well then, let's go over the formalities...

>And so
>I went through all the formalities without listening to what the receptionist had to say...
>What did she say...?

>That prep school is undergoing repairs for about a month after summer vacation.
>I see.

>So I have to go to another building that's two stations over.
>Mm-hmm.

>...
>...

>...Um.
>Is that all?
>Is that all!?
>It's the train!!!
>Do you hate trains or something?

>I haven't ridden one in two years!
>I don't know how to tame one!!!
>Eeeeh....

p106
>Ufufu.
>Making such a fuss.
>It's not just a fuss!

>We rode the bus when we went out before, right?
>Yeah.
>Eiko-san kinda dragged me on there while I had no idea what was going on.
>Okay, let's go.
>Let's keep going.

>I wonder if Eiko-san will drag me on there this time too
>while I have no idea what|'s going on...
>That's a bit...

>Um, but I don't think trains are any different from two years ago.
>That's right.
>You'll be fine, Hannen-san.
>No.

>The soil may be the same, but the city has gone through many changes.
>With the advances in science and technology, they've no doubt replaced cards with IC chips that are embedded in the human body!
>Eeeeh?

>That's not true. That's impossible.
>Ah, I know!
>Why don't we look it up on the internet?

>Ah, that's right, Hiroe-san!
>I-I see.
>Erm...

>Here. It says you just use your card like normal...
>Oh.

p107
>But this was last updated two years ago.
>Eh?
>I-I knew it!!!

>The whole world has no doubt changed during this two year void!
>T-Two year void!?

>I'm sure these days they're using remote controls on Tokyoites with the chips installed to force them omn trains...
>R-Remote controls!?

>Th-Th-Th-That can't be right.
>I came from Tokyo...
>That's what they call concealed information.
>Eeeeeeh?

>I-I-I know! I'll call Mom...

>H-Huh?
>My phone isn't here...?
>I'm sure that is a scheme too!!!
>Eh?

>The organization's grasp has even extended to that place...
>Eeeeeek!
>O-O-O-Organization!?

>I'm afraid your parents may already be in their grasp, Hana-chan...
>Eeeeeh?
>M-Mom! Dad!!!

p108
>Ah, Hana-chan.
>I got our bags mixed up and picked up your phone.

>I just noticed and came over to return...
>U
>Uweeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

>Wh-
>What's going on?
>Uweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
>Tama-chan Tama-chan Tama-chan Tama-chan

>Oh! Good afternoon, Tama-chan!
>Ah, good afternoon, Shion-san.
>Just what is going on here?

>We're all looking up how to ride a train.
>Ufufu. I think I might be a train professor now.
>The three of you got together to look up how to ride a train...?

>No no no no.

>There's no difference between here and Tokyo.
>R-Really?
>Yep.

>I went there over summer vacation so I'm certain!
>I-I see...
>Th-
>Thank goodness...

p109
>Besides, Hannen-Onee-san, the place where you're going isn't a metropoliton area so you should be fine.
>Uh
>That's certainly true.
>And weren't you in Tokyo last year, Hana-chan?

>My fear of trains just keeps spiralling out of control...
>Hmm, I see.
>I-I'm gonna call my parents.

>Alright, let's try a simulation.
>This is the best way to get you used to it.
>Y-Yeah.

>P-Please take care of me..
>You got it!
>M-Mom! Um, in Tokyo there's remote controls and IC cards...
>I'm not an idiot! That's mean!

>First off, the ticket barrier.

>Touch and go!!
>And you're through!
>Ooh!

>You're so cool, Momochi-san!
>Fufufu. Just call me Tama-chan.

>Okay, Hannen-Onee-san! Take it away!
>L-Like this?
>Touch and go!
>That's it!
>Swing it more casually!

p110
>Touch and go!
>Touch and go!
>Smile more!
>Spin more fiercely!

>L-Like this?
>How about this?
>Yep!
>More bold!
>Touch and go!
>G-Go!

>Do this twenty times every day and the commute to school will be a cup of tea!
>Ooh!
>thank you, Master Tama-chan!

>I'm feeling pretty confident thanks to Master Tama-chan's teachings.

>Good for you, Hiroe-san!
>Yeah!
>Let me show you the fruits of my training, Hana-chan!

>How's that, Hana-chan!?

>E-Erm.
>Aren't there too many unneccessary movements...?
>My word!
