>Be patient.
>Be patient... Be patient...
>Even though I really want it...

>Even though I want to do it.
>Funds, opportunities...
>It all depends on the timing.

>Thus we are compelled to be patient every single day.

>...Huh?

>...Huh?
>Why!?

p5
>No way~ I came all this way to buy something from here~
>Hey~
>I'm thirsty from all my club activities~
>...
>You stupid-
>Hya!

>What's wrong, Fumi-chan~?
>Ah, Hinata-san!
>...No, erm...
>Sh-She saw me!
>That's no good~ You've got to treat things with care~

>...Oh dear.
>Actually, this vending machine
>appears to be broken...
>Ah~ I think I won something!!?
>Eh!?

p6
>Here!! Which would you like?
>There's Banana and Strawberry!!
>..Thanks.
>Of all things...
>Ehehe~ It's my lucky day~

>This is the first time I've won something from a vending machine~
>Are you sure it's okay for me to have this?
>It's fine~ It's delicious~ I love both kinds!!

>...

>Sorry.
>I already opened it with the straw, but I should really give it back.
>Eh!? Wh-Why!?
>It's unfair to you, Hinata-san.
>I-It's not unfair!? ...Did you not like it!?
>...Just take it already.

p7
>Ah

>Kya!
>Woah!

>Woah
>Sorry, Hinata-san! Are you al-...
>right!?

p8
>Y-You've got it wrong!
>I didn't do it on purpose! I just...um...
>...Ehehe... I dunno if I can say I'm alright but...
>I'm fine.
>You just surprised me a little...

>...Come with me for a bit!!
>Eh?
>Ah, wait, Fumio-chan!?
>Hm? Hasegawa and... Hinata-san?

p9
>Let's see
>there should be some practise clothes you can change into...
>This is my first time in your clubroom~
>...Is noone else here?
>Practise is already over so...
>...Meeting the now would be bothersome... and embarrassing...

>Eh~ You think so~? You're fine with me, though~
>...It's just not my style.
>Ah, crap. I forgot the laundry.

>Oooh~~~~!!
>Is this you, Fumio-chan!?

>Wha...Hey!
>Don't just...!
>Amazing!! So cool and cute!!
>J-Just go into the shower room and change already...
>And then she...
>Ah, there's all kinds of those types...
>Then why not just call for Hasegawa?
>She's probably inside.

p10
>Hey, Hasega-...
>wa?
>Eh!? She's not here!? I just saw her go in!?
>...Hah.
>Could it be she's levelled up from a slacker demon into a ghost member!?
>Pft
>The heck is that?
>I dig it, though.
>But still, that girl is really...

>...Those two. I'll have to throughly beat them later.
>Mm...Mmmg~~!?
>It's hot, but bear with it for a little bit.
>Those lot are weak but they throw their weight around because they're third years. Like ladies-in-waiting.
>If they spot an outsider in our clubroom they won't shut up about it.

>Ah, this is such a pain. Why do I have to do this much just to hide from them?
>Ah, geez, it's so hot I'm getting irritated.
>Aah, geez...
>Why do I just keep holding it in...
>Mmmph~~~...

>Ah...S-Sorry. I'll let go now...

p11
>...It's gotten quiet?
>I think they've left...
>...Sorry, Hinata-san.
>...For what?
>I mean.

>It's my fault you got dragged into this.
>It's a bother, right? You wanna hurry back to Ichii-san and Nonogahara-san, right?
>That's not true!
>This was really fun!! It's like I got to know a side of Fumio-chan that I never knew about!!

>Besides... It looks like you were really struggling today, Fumio-chan.
>And also, erm... I also...
>Ufufu
>You really are a strange one, Hinata-san.
>Eh!?

p12
>Today really hasn't been my day.
>I overslept and missed my usual train.
>The next train was overcrowded.

>They were sold out of the bread I usually get.

>And last of all, I had to work overtime for slacking off during practise...

>I thought I'd buy a drink to quench my first, but the machine ate my money
>and I ended up spilling juice all over you, Hinata-san...
>Yeah.
>It was a lot of trouble, huh~

p13
>Wha... Hey, that's embarrassing!
>Ehehe~ I just thought I'd cheer you up~
>...You don't have to do that...

>Wha!?
>Huh? Who's there? Hasegawa!?

>Eh... Uh, yeah...
>So you really were here.
>What are you doing?
>Erm, just taking a shower...
>Heh~ In the dark?
>Well, I find it more calming to shower in the dark!
>The heck? You're a strange one~

>...Crap. It's those senpai from earlier.
>Eh!? Wh-What should we do...?
>For now, we can only stay quiet until they lea...
>!!?

p14
>...This is bad.
>This is really bad!

>I didn't think it would be this humid.
>Are you okay, Hina-...
>Hinata-san!?
>Ehehe...
>This is kinda bad...

>Fumio-chan~... Why not just have a shower?
>Eeh!? But what about our uniforms!?
>But I'm all kinda sticky and gross~
>I'm drenched in sweat~
>...No, but wait... Eeh~
>Ah, crap.
>Hey, does anyone have shampoo?

p15
>Hey~ Give us yours, Hasegawa!
>Huh!? No, but
>I don't have any with me.
>It's fine. I'll only use it once~
>Or do you not wanna give it to us?
>Th-That's not it, but...

>Now now, I have some with me.
>You don't have to give us yours~
>...Well that's fine.
>Well, here you go~
>Catch

>Hyau!!?
>Hey! Senpai!
>Ah-Aaah! Where do you think you're throwing that!!?
>Eh? Ah, sorry. Did it go all the way over there?

p16
>...Uhe~
>Sorry! I'm really sorry!
>Why'd you throw it all the way over here!?
>Sorry, it just kinda bounced...
>Or rather, isn't something strange, Hasegawa?

>...Eh...?
>I mean, you haven't been showering for a while now?
>Th-That's...
>Not to mention you're alone in the dark...
>Seriously!?
>What are you saying!
>I'm gonna wash my body right now!!

>Geez, don't get so upset~
>Ahahaha
>Let's switch places.
>Ah...
>Use this towel as a guard.
>Fumio-cha...

>...
>Good luck.

p17
>Huh?

>I didn't come like expec....ted...

>...Fumi-chan?
>What's... going on here?

>Pft
>H-How mean...
>S-Sorry! I just...pft

p18
>Fufu. I'll turn off the shower...
>now...?

>Hina-
>I'm also

>Ah
>at the limit of my patience, y'know?
>Hey!? What are you...
>This all started because you spilled the juice I won for you!

p19
>And then you make me hide in the clubroom before I even know what's going on
>and then you drench me with the shower!!

>Hinata-san...
>I'm sorry... Are you upset?

>...Fufu. Kfufufu
>Even though you're a rich girl...

>Nope, not at all!
>This was fun!!

p20
>You really are a strange one.
>...Ehehe.
>Hey, gimme back the shampoo~

>Water continues to drip down my uniform and my bare skin
>washing away with it all the bad emotions I've been feeling up until now.
>Mm...

>As I realised this
>we just hugged each other in silence for a while.

p21
>You smell nice.
>Fumio...chan...?
>What should I do... The way she's all soaked is luring me.

>My heart... feels like it's being pulled towards Hinata-san.
>Aah...
>We can't.
>At this rate
>Wait...
>I won't be able
>to go back anymore...

p22
>Ah~ That was refreshing~
>Okay, Hasegawa~ We'll be out first~

>Ah~
>I'm feeling light-headed~
>Yeah~ I'm exhausted~

>...Ehehe~ You're so lewd, Fumio-chan.
>...You too, Yukari...

p23
>For now, we better change quickly...
>...But how do we do that?
>I don't really want to, but there's the practise clothes I wore earlier.
>I'll wear that and fetch your change of...

>clothes...
>....
>You guys...
>Kei...
>Why...!?

>I thought something was suspicious so I followed you.
>What are you two... n-no, what DID you two just do?
>...Crap, someone's coming again!
>Ah! wait!?

p24
>H-Hey, you're all wet! What are you mmph...
>Shh...
>For now
>You're gonna join us, Kei.
>Ehehe~ Sorry about this, Okachi~

>W-Wait! My phone!! A-And my wallet!
>...I told you that phones these days are waterproof.
>Ah...
>My wallet too~...

>For now, we'll come off as suspicious if we're note bathing.
>Geez~... Okachi should get wet with us!!
>S-Stop~!!?

p25
>...Phew.
>...Hah. Yukari's taking forever.

>Hey, what happened to them?

>Hm?
>Ah, it's from Okachi.
>Wait.
>Eeeeh!!?
>Wh-What?
>What's wrong!?

>Erm...
>it says "please help"
>"come to the badminton clubroom urgently"
>Uwah~...
>Ah! Yukari!!?
>"bring three changes of clothes"...

p26
>...Okay. They'll be here soon.
>Thank you, Okachi's phone~!!
>Ah~ I can finally get out of here...

>You're actually useful once in a while, Kei.
>You shouldn't say such things about her, Fumio-chan~
>You guys!
>There's something else you need to be saying, right!?
>...Yes...

p27
>I'm really sorry!!
>Sorry!!
