>Oh.

>Good afternoon, Miyako-san.
>Ah, hello, Shion-chan.
>You heading out?
>Room 103: Koori Miayko-san (27)

>Hehe~
>I'm going on a date.
>Oh my.
>Oh yeah, there's something you say at times like these.
>Eh? What?

>Go win the load!
>For what?

p64
>Y'know.
>Go win the load in the Giza-10 lottery!
>I saw it on TV.
>Aah.
>I think you mean "go and explode". [TN: Shion confuses "bakuhatsu" (explode) with "rakusatsu" (winning lottery ticket)]
>How nostalgic...

>Giza-10...
>I don't think the Giza-10 is worth that much.
>You think so?

>Ehehe, actually
>it feels like marriage we might be getting married soon.
>Wow, how nice.

>But then I'll have to move out of my apartment...
>Eh?

>It's fine isn't it? You can stay here even if you do get married.
>I'd be lonely without you, Miyako-san.
>But y'see
>it'd be fine if it was just the two of us, but...

>When you consider that our family might start growing...
>Catch my drift?
>There there~ just kidding.

>Aah.

>So you're mother-in-law would be living with you.
>That's a pretty cute mother-in-law.

p65
>Besides, isn't this
>a girls-only apartment building?
>I'd have to leave if I got married either way.
>Oh.
>Is that so?
>You're the manager, aren't you, Shion-chan?

>But you probably couldn't tell if you kept quiet.
>No, you're the manager, Shion-chan.
>Everyone except you would have to keep quiet.
>Oh.
>That's right.

>Ah.

>Then you can just have the mother-in-law live with you.
>Then it'll be girls-only.
>No.
>Calm down, Shion-chan, you're not making any sense.
>Why do you want the mother-in-law to live here so much?

>A date, huh...

>Ah, Hannen-san.
>Ah.
>Hey there, Manager.

>Hey,
>have you ever dated anyone, Hannen-san?
>Dweh?

p66
>D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Dweh!?
>Not dweh. Date.
>Have you ever been on one?
>You're hounding me!?

>N--N-N-N-N-N-N-
>No, I haven't done anything like that...
>Oh
>Is that so?

>Then
>would you like to go on a date with me?

>Eh?
>Eeh?
>Y'see, there's a sale on toilet paper today.
>But it's limited to two packs per person.

>Hana-chan's gone out today, so could you come with me instead, Hannen-san?
>Ah, is that all? Uh, sure.
>If it's just that I'll accompany you.

>Fufu.
>Good to hear.

>And once we're done shopping, why don't we have lunch at a fancy shop somewhere?
>Since it's a date and all.
>While carrying around four packs of toilet paper?

p67
>There!

>Did you take a good photo, Hana-chan?
>I-I wonder about that.
>Erm...
>Let's see.

>Wah!

>Scary.
>You must have some trembling ability to overpower the anti-shake stabilisation functionality.

>UUh...
>Shion-chan gave me that camera but...
>it's too heavy...
>Maybe you should've borrowed her smartphone instead?

>If you affix it somewhere, all you have to do is push the shutter.
>But I don't have a tripod...
>S-Sorry, Kamuri-chan.

>Okay!
>Leave it to me!

p68
>A-
>Are you okay, Tama-chan? It doesn't hurt, does it?
>Just go for it!
>Behold! This exceptional stability!

>We'll support you.
>Ah.
>This pose feels like we're gonna unleash a special attack or something!

>Aha.
>Is a beam gonna come out?
>W-Well if I turn the flash on...

>Ah.
>I got a mail from Shion-chan.

>It says "I'm having lunch at a kebab shop.
>Please take care of Hana-chan."
>It's like Shion-chan thinks I'm a babysitter or something.
>Eh?
>Th-That's embarrassing...

>Well then! Please take care of me!
>Take care of me.
>Eh?
>P-Please take care of me?

>Care established!
>Is that what it is?

p69
>Ah, there's a photo attached.
>This one's blurry too!
>Must be the genes.
>Sh-Shion-chan's just bad at taking selfies...

>Hiroe-san's with her.
>They're at the same shop, huh?
>Looks delicious...
>Can't see it though.
>Sure is nice being an adult.

>Still, this high school homework assignment is rather unusual.

>"Take a picture of the town you live in".
>Hmm.
>Isn't that the same as when you have to draw a themed sketch for elementary school?
>Ah, I see.

>There's some famous spots, but there's no freshness.
>There's a few famous spots around here I don't know about, so it's fresh to me, but...

>Ah, that's right.
>Then we shall be your escorts.
>Tour guides, if you will.

>Ehehe.
>Thanks.
>Well then.
>Hana's finished taking her photo so...
>What should we do? Wanna go sightseeing.

>Ah, sorry. I better go home for today...
>Oh?
>Do you have an errand to run?

p70
>Y-Y'see...
>This camera Shion-chan lent me...
>I worry about what might happen if I dropped it.
>If I drop it, it might break, get water in it, and explode.
>Ah, I see.

>Okay. I'll mail you later.
>Yeah, thanks.
>Later.

>Now then.

>What now? Should we look up some famous places?
>Ah. Why don't we try going to the bookstore then?
>Yep. I wanna go too.

>Hah

>Those kebabs were delicious...
>Yes, absolutely.
>They were awesome...

>So many varieties...
>freshly fried....

>Juicy...
>Crispy...

p71
>We found a good shop, huh?
>Absolutely!

>Not sure I can call it a fancy shop, though.
>Don't mind that!
>In fact, this was way better!

>We must go there again.
>Let's bring Hana-chan with us next time.
>Oh, yes, we must!

>Ah.
>Shion-chan. Hiroe-san.
>Ah, welcome back, Hana-chan.
>Welcome back, Hana-chan!

>Thank you for the camera, Shion-chan.
>No problem. Here. Have some toilet paper.
>Th-Thanks?
>?
>Did you two go out?
>Yeah.
>We ate lunch together...

>Oh yeah.
>Hana-chan.

>Do you want to go to a kebab shop for dinner tonight?
>It's a bit early but...
>No matter how look at it, that's way too soon!?
>Huh?
>>The World's Longest Cat 4

p72
>Shion-san again?
>"We're at a kebab shop right now."
>Must be a duplicate.

>Eiko, look.
>Hm?
>Here.

>Hannen-san changed into Hana.
>At least I think that's Hana...
>Wah, you're right?
>Ahaha, so Shion-san went back to that shop?

>Ah, this place is in front of the station if I recall.
>That kebab place.
>You ever been there, Tama?
>I've never been there myself
>but I have been curious since it sounds delicious.

>Is that so...?

>...

>Hey.
>Wanna check out that shop right now?
>For dinner.
>Ooh, sounds good!
>Then without delay!
>We better contact our families!
>Grandma, I'm having dinner before I go home.
>Yep.
>Wow.
>Such good girls.
>I'm gonna eat before going home, but I'll eat at home too.
