>Hannen-onee-chan's Event Stills today were a bit adult-oriented, so I'm going to lock them up in my heart until I become 18. I'm looking forward to it.

>Please throw them away.
>Right now.

>Huh?
>The rain has stopped?
>Yeah.
>The sun's shining.

>Geez.
>If the sun was gonna show up, it should've done so in the morning.

>Well, it's better than it turning heavy rain the moment we arrived.
>Right?

>do you wanna go?

>Let's go!
>I wanna go!

>Hah
>Swimsuit girls are water-based creatures, after all.
>You're making us sound like diving beetles.

>Having been born in the sea and evolved to live on land, use swimsuit girls are naturally drawn towards the water.
>What's with the Origin of Life lecture?

>So what's the bullet point?
>I'm looking forward to the pool!

>Hey hey

>What's a hotel pool like? Is it big? Is it deep?
>Ah, are my feet gonna be able to touch the bottom...
>I don't think it's anything that big.

p72
>It's this one.
>Wow, such a pretty place.

>So it's actually an amusement hotel?
>Ahaha, no way.

>Still, the name "Amusement Hotel"...

>It sounds like a hotel that won't give you time to sleep even though you're sleeping over.
>Please don't make such difficult comments, Tamate-chan.

>There's also things called Leisure Hotels.
>That's a pretty fun name.
>Yup.
>There's all kinds.

>It seems there's also Fashion Hotels and Boutique Hotels.
>Heh~ They sound like clothes shops.

>Don't those all mean the same thing?
>Seems like it.
>There's way too many names.

p73
>But all these names sound so fun.

>Well, that's true.
>I'd like to go to one too.
>What kind of hotel?

>A love hotel.
>Love!?

>What are you doing in the entranceway, Eiko-chan?
>Moping around like that.
>Ah, Tama.
>I finished getting ready so I just...

>Y'know,
>I like the shoes that Kamu took off.
>That's a pretty perverted phrase you just said there.
>Aha, totally.
>No, but
>look at them.

>Oh man, they're so cute!!!
>I know!!!
>I know!!!
>Um, you guys?
>Kamuri-chan is really unnerved.
>...

p74
>Fwah~
>It feels like ages since I wore clothes...

>I haven't worn clothes over my swimsuit to go to the pool since elementary school P.E. classes.
>Ah, same here.

>There was one girl who forgot to bring her underwear and had to borrow some from the infirmary.
>Eh?

>Y-You could borrow panties from the infirmary?
>Yeah, in elementary school, sure.
>I dunno about middle school, though.

>A past memory

>If I...
>If I only knew that back then...
>T-Tama-chan.
>Don't tell me...

>It's kinder not to ask, Hana.
>Eiko-chan...

>So...

p75
>Did everyone make sure to prepare some underwear?

>Ahaha, like we'd forget something stupid like that.
>Ahaha, yeah. We're not in elementary school anymore.

>Oh my?
>It's not my panties, but I did forget something!
>I forgot something that isn't my panties!
>Eh?

>Hana-chan, I need to go back for a bit so can I borrow your key?
>Ah, I remembered I forgot something too, so let's go together.
>I-It's not my panties, though!

>So what did you two forget?

>M-Melon bread!
>L-Labels...
>Just how stubborn are you?

p76
>Are you good, Kamu?

>I forgot them
>but it should be fine.
>You forgot them, too?

>I can just
>borrow some panties from Eiko
>so it'll be fine.
>No way.
>What am I supposed to do then?
>Even if you ask me with a cute look...

>S-
>Sorry for the wait~

>Did you find your melon bread and labels?
>Show me.
>E-Erm...
