>Vacation!
>Here's a souvenir from my trip...
>Yay~

>Ufufufufufufufufufu
>When thinking it's a vacation
>it's totally hard not to become an early riser.

>In fact, I end up waking up earlier than usual.
>I wonder why that is~?

>Ufufufufufufu
>How's your jetlag, Kamu?
>Sleepy...

p31
>Ah, want a pickled plum to wake you up?
>Yep.
>Ah, I'll have one too.

>Sour~~~~

>Mm.
>I'm wide awake now.
>Thanks, Tama.
>This is good.
>Fufufu, I made them myself.
>You're pretty versatile, Tama-chan...

>Hah~

>Ah, it's been so long since I had such a carefree summer vacation.
>I had exams last year, after all.
>My little sister's taking exams this year so that atmosphere is kinda continuing at our place.
>Must be rough...

>Mikki was very considerate when I was taking my exams last year.
>This year, I'm repaying the favor.
>Oh!
>The love between sisters is lovely.

>I'm looking forward to when your little sis becomes our kouhai.
>There's no doubt the Sister Juice will get a power up.
>What kind?

>Hmm, it'd probably gain a magnificent aurora color!
>Sounds heart-pounding.
>Quite the Doki Doki Visual, you got there. [TN: Doki Doki Visual is the imprint through which Houbunsha publishes their Manga Time Kirara family of magazines].

>So, where are we going so early in the morning?
>Erm.
>How about an indie greengrocer?
>Eh?

>>Tomatoes - 300yen
>Ah, they're selling vegetables directly.
>It's my first time seeing one...
>Same here.
>Good morning, gramps!

>Oh, good morning, Tama-chan.
>Ehehe.
>We came here to shop.

>The tomatoes from Gramps' field are super delicious!
>I highly reccomend them!
>Wow.

>He only opens this shop on harvest days so this is a pretty rare item!
>It's too much of a hassle to open it every day.

>Gramps may lack motivation, but his tomatoes are really delicious!
>The tomatoes are good even without motivation.

>Alright. One basket of tomatoes, please.
>Me too.
>Okay.
>Then I'll throw in a little bonus.

p33
>Ooh, he's really into it.
>So cool.
>And a little more.
>Eh? Huh?

>Y-You just put in about two baskets' worth...?
>Is that okay?
>Well y'know.
>The quicker I sell out, the quicker I can close up shop.

>Fufufu, don't go making light of Gramps' lack of motivation, okay?
>Sorry.
>To be honest I was making light of it.

>Wow.
>There's so many different sizes.
>Fufufu. They may be irregular, but they're super sweet.
>Cute.

>I wanna eat it now...
>Ah, me too.
>Excuse me, do you mind if we eat these here?

>Ah, go ahead.
>So you can use the tap-water over there.
>Thank you very much.

>Hmm.

p34
>Woah, what is this?
>It's really sweet.
>Delicious.
>I know, right?
>Freshly harvested!

>It feels even better to eat them outside.
>It feels so liberating.
>Delicious.

>Mmph
>Aaaah! Hana! That's bad! Your white one-piece dress!
>It's gonna stain!

>Ah, I got it!
>Use this...
>There. Now it won't spill!

>yeah.
>It's not spilling.
>Indeed!

>But this
>doesn't really feel very liberating...
>Indeed...
>I'm sorry.

p35
>Hana.
>Take this.
>Eh?
>A cucumber?

>This is also delicious
>and the juices won't spill.
>K
>Kamuri-chan...!

>Hey look, Eiko-chan.
>Yes?

>Hana-chan's crying while eating a cucumber.
>Just hearing those words makes it feel like autumn is coming.
>She's like a cricket.
>So cute...

>How are you all able to eat without spilling anything?

>Hmm.
>It's kinda like you suck the juices out while you're taking a bite.
>Chomp and suck.
>Ah, like that.
>Innocently.

>H-
>Here goes.
>Chomp and suck~

>Aah...
>The weakest general of the Four Heavenly Kings.
>What the heck?

p36
>Man.
>That was surprisingly leisurely.
>That was delicious.
>Yeah, it was fun.
>Despite the choking.

>It was quite refreshing.
>Ufufu
>Both the outings and the tomatoes are refreshing.

>Thanks, Gramps.
>We'll come by again!

>Yeah, yeah.
>See you next year.
>Next July.
>No, please try a little harder.

>I'm home, Shion-chan.
>Here's a souvenir.
>Oh, tomatoes?
>We went to a direct seller.
>They're freshly harvested.

>Wow, they look delicious.
>Yeah, they really are.

>Well then,
>without delay.

>Oh dear.
>Oh dear oh dear.
>Ah.
>We're definitely blood-related.
