I'm so excited about going to Maho's villa.
Summer Paradise
Maho's already there, right?
She said that since summer holidays start today,
she'd go and prepare.
I was hoping Maho-chan would pick another swimsuit for me.
The last one she gave me is a bit tight.
Already?
Which one are you buying, Tomoka-chan?
I wonder which one I should get...
How about buying an outrageous one and seducing Hasegawa-san?
Seduce him?!
Oh~!
Hina will get this one.
I wonder if Onii-chan will praise me.
Even so, that's way too outrageous!
Oh?
I see.
Hey, forget about the seducing; which one of these two is better?
I think this one looks...
No means no, Nee-sama!
Going to the sea...
Kagetsu is against this!
You're mean, Kage.
You're always tying Hina down.
That's not what I'm trying to do.
I just...
Bu~!
Bully.
I don't care about you anymore, Kage.
Wai-
Hold on, Nee-sama!
Growing my determination
Don't give up and do your best
Try your luck and fight! Chin-up!

Welco-maho!
Thanks for coming, thanks for coming!
We're here, we're here!
Was it really okay to invite me to the villa, too?
What are you saying?
There's no point if Subarun doesn't come!
That's right.
You're always taking care of us, too.
Thank you very much for taking the time to play with us.
Oh~!
Onii-chan, let's have lots of fun!
Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay, then let's get changed and go swimming in the sea!
This way, this way!
Hina-chan, was Kage-chan okay with this?
Oh~!
She understood after I talked to her about it.
Ge-tan tends to worry a lot.
Bu~!
Even though I can swim properly...
She doesn't have club activities today either,
so you should've brought her along.
Oh~?
Asking her to come would've been okay?
Come in.
Touko-sensei.
My, Kagetsu-chan.
What's the matter?
Um, actually...
Coming to the beach once in a while isn't too bad.
Be thankful that I brought you along.
In return, I'll get you to coach during the summer holidays, too.
I know.
But...
Is there something you're worrying about?
Up until now we've had clear goals, like beating the boys' basketball club...
...and winning the tournament.
But I'll have to start thinking about how to do things from now on.
Having a goal makes things simpler, after all.
That's true...
Subarun, sorry to keep you waiting!
How is this?
Does it look good?
Oh, it's cute!
It looks nice!
Hasegawa-san, what about the rest of us?
How is it?
Everyone looks fabulous, of course!
And last, but not least...
Come on, Tomo!
Um, I...
It looks great on you.
Thank you very much!
Isn't that good, Tomoka-chan?
You look good in it, Mo-kan!
Oh~!
Everyone chose it.
But are those okay?
They're fine!
They're totally fine!
You know what, Onii-chan? Tomoka does have breasts-
It's nothing!
All right, let's go swimming!
Ah~!
Hina, come here, come here!
How was it, Hasegawa-san?
That was amazing, Airi!
Your crawl is perfect!
It's all thanks to Hasegawa-san and Aoi-san!
I would've liked to have shown Aoi-san, too.
It's rare for her to catch a summer cold.
Hey, Subarun!
Let's play tag!
Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Oh~?
Hina will be "it"!
Run!
One...
...two...
...three...
If I ran too far, I'd feel sorry for her.
...nine...
...ten!
Oh~!
I'm coming!
Wait, Onii-chan!
Run!
Come on, I'm here!
Touch!
You caught me.
Bu~!
Onii-chan, run away properly.
Hey, Subarun!
Do you really want to play?
I'm sorry.
I'll play seriously this time.
Then how about the one who catches Hasegawa-kun...
...can ask him to do anything they like?
Anything they like?
It's decided!
We're all "it"!
I'm coming, Onii-chan!
There!
Onii-chan, prepare yourself!
I'm coming!
There!
Prepare yourself!
Damn, Subarun's tough.
He knows our formations well,
so getting close to him won't be easy.
We've got five people,
so there must be a good strategy we can use...
Young ladies.
You seem to be in a little trouble.
Just a small hint.
Subaru's good at basketball, but he's average at everything else.
For example,
something like swimming.
If we manage to stop Hasegawa-san's footwork...
Oh~!
Let's sneak up and catch him!
So, they've finished their strategy meeting.
Huh?
Oh no!
This is bad!
Subaru-san, prepare yourself!
Sorry!
What are you doing, you lolicon bastard?
A castle, a castle...
Shall we tickle him?
Agreed!
Stop it!
Tickle, tickle~!
Stop it!
Tomoka, save-
Airi...!
I never thought the two of you would do something like this!
Everyone!
It's about time we eat lunch!
Yes!
Oh~!
It moved!
Sea creatures sure are mysterious.
Airin, how about choosing this for the research project?
Oh~!
Octopus-san!
Airi?!
It feels slimy and gross!
Hey, Octopus!
Let go of Airin!
You...!
My swimsuit!
No!
Delicious!
It tastes great, right Airin?!
It really does!
Nee-sama!
Kage?
Let's go back together, Nee-sama!

Oh, it's Ge-tan.
Ge-tan?
She's Hinata's younger sister, Kagetsu-chan.
And on top of that, Touko's here too.
Why?
Quite a lot happened.
Let's go back, Nee-sama.
I don't want to.
Geez, why don't you listen to anything I say?
Bu~!
You'll just tie Hina down.
Anyway, Nee-sama, let's go home.
I don't want to!
I'm not going home.
Nee-sama...
Well, we came all the way out here to play, so how about joining us-
You're Coach Hasegawa, right?
Yes.
When I heard that you were my sister's coach,
I went ahead and looked up your background.
You're a very dangerous person!
A very dangerous person?
You pretend to teach basketball,
but there's no mistaking that you're using this chance to touch Nee-sama's body...
...and look at her sweating with those beastly eyes!
Kagetsu, you sure are one sharp girl.
There's nothing sharp about those findings!
My, there's no need to hide it.
I really love children, too.
Aren't you the same?
I'm saying that's not right!
Just as I thought, I can't leave Nee-sama with someone like you!
Come, Nee-sama.
Bu~!
Kage, you're not allowed to bully Onii-chan!
Onii-chan is very kind and is important to Hina!
Even if it's you, Kage, if you bully Onii-chan, I won't forgive you!
Onii-chan, I'm sorry.
Nee-sama!
Sorry.
Anyway, do you want to eat lunch?
That's right, Ge-tan.
We'll talk then.
Yes.
Then, Kagetsu asked you, Touko?
She suddenly came to the school infirmary and asked me to bring her to the beach.
But, how did you find this place?
Don't underestimate my Thousand Mi-loli Eyes.
TL Note: "Sen-rorigan" is a pun on "Senrigan" from the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, which means "eyes which can see over a thousand miles".
Kagetsu-chan was worried about Hinata-chan's trip and didn't have any other choice.
Well, that sounds about right.
Why?
It's already been three years since then.
On a very cold day in winter, Hinata-chan collapsed.
That day, their parents were away working, while they stayed home.
Kagetsu-chan was waiting for Hinata-chan to come home from school,
but she fell asleep.
When Hinata-chan came home, she didn't realise.
Oh~?
She was waiting on the porch in the snow.
And then, Hinata-chan...
Kagetsu-chan called the school and rushed Hinata-chan to the hospital.
Fortunately, she got away with only a fever.
So that's what happened.
I heard this when I became Hina's homeroom teacher.
Kagetsu hit puberty before Hina.
Hina doesn't really mind, but Kagetsu's always worried about what happened three years ago.
She seems to blame herself for Hina's weak body.
That's also why she's so opposed to Hinata-chan playing basketball.
She keeps worrying that Hina will faint again.
But Hina is doing fine, and she's passionate about basketball.
If this goes on, it won't be good for either of them.
To repair their relationship, we have to take away Kagetsu's guilt.
Everyone, it's a little sudden,
but let's have some impromptu club activities now.
I want Kagetsu-chan to know a bit more about us.
Wha-
Are you seriously going to hold club activities here?!
Of course, if anyone feels tired, I'll stop the activities immediately.
Is that okay, Hinata-chan?
Oh~!
Kage, Hina is strong!
Nee-sama...
I understand.
Let's try our best, Kagetsu-chan!
Our special training is really tough!
That's fine.
I have confidence in my stamina.
Then, let's start.
Yes!
Get set...
Start!
Oh~!
We ran.
How was it, Kagetsu-chan?
This isn't such a big deal for me.
I figured as much.
More importantly, Nee-sama is tired.
Please let her rest.
Did Hinata-chan say such a thing?
How are you feeling, Hinata-chan?
Oh~!
I'm perfectly fine.
I've still got a lot in me!
A mini basketball tournament lasts for 24 minutes.
She should be fine even after all this.
But Nee-sama is holding it all in and not saying that she's tired-
Hey, Kage, let's run a marathon.
Hina wants to run with Kage.
But...
I want to run with you.
with you~
Yes.
Hina, are you okay?
Oh~!
I feel great!
I'll run with them, too.
If Subaru-san is with them, we won't have to worry.
But will she be able to beat Ge-tan?
Kage-chan was first in last year's school marathon.
I see.
Now then, on your mark!
Kage, if Hina wins this race, stop complaining.
Okay.
Then, if I win, please stop pushing yourself so hard.
Get set...
Start!
Do your best, both of you!
They're running, they're running!
Children running with all their strength is such a lovely sight.
Why don't you go run with them?
My, that's mean.
I do like children, but with Mihoshi-chan's children-
Don't say it, you pervert.
Say it again.
Nee-sama is breathing so hard...
Be serious, Kage.
Hina wants to see Kage at full strength.
It's okay.
I won't lose.
But...
I understand why you're worrying,
but it wouldn't be a serious competition otherwise, right?
I understand.
I'll run at my best.
Oh~!
Kage is running.
Would it have been better if we ran with them?
Hina-chan will definitely be okay!
Saki, have you caught Ge-tan's habit of worrying?
I believe in her, too!
She'll definitely be okay.
Hinata-chan...
Do your best!
Wait, Nee-sama!
Kage, hurry!
It'll be okay now.
Kage, let's go out and play.
We shouldn't, Nee-sama.
It would be bad if something happened.
You're mean, Kage.
You're always tying Hina down.
It wouldn't be a serious competition otherwise, right?
I...
They're here!
Here, here!
Hina, come on!
Kage-chan, just a little more!
Hina, you can do it!
Almost there, Kage-chan!
Go for it!
Goal!
Nee-sama...
Hina had fun.
I finally managed to run with Kage.
Yes.
Nee-sama, your last spurt was amazing.
Oh~!
I was praised by Kage.
Even if I don't worry, Nee-sama, you'll be fine on your own.
Oh~?
Why on my own?
I can't be on my own.
It's better to be with everyone.
With Maho,
Tomoka,
Saki,
Airi,
and with Kage. I don't want to be without any of you.
Hina is happy.
I used to be bad at running.
I always thought that Kage never had fun while playing with me.
I always felt so sorry for making you worry.
That's...
But now, Hina can run a lot.
So, from now on, let's play a together a lot!
Yes!
All right!
When we get back, we're all taking a bath!
Maho-chan, your house's bath is a hot spring, right?
Really?
I'm looking forward to it.
Um...
I'm sorry for all that.
No, don't worry about it.
Please take care of my sister.
It might sound strange coming from me,
but don't blame yourself too much.
If Kagetsu-chan felt troubled,
Hinata-chan would feel troubled, too.
Thank you very much.
I think I'll be able to support Nee-sama a lot in the future.
I see.
Hinata, which part do you wash first when you get into the bath?
My hair.
Although it was tiring, that was really fun!
Oh~!
Kage said she would help me with my passing practice tomorrow.
I was thinking I might be of some use to you, Nee-sama.
Hinata and Kagetsu-chan are such wonderful sisters.
I'm pretty jealous.
That's...
Anyway, today sure was an eventful day.
That's right.
Swimsuits fell off, and people were attacked by octopuses.
Don't talk about that!
Huh, Nee-sama?
I wonder where she went.
Gecko, gecko, gecko...
Gecko-san~
Oh~?
Ah, having the bath to yourself is such a luxury.
Oh~!
Onii-chan!
Hinata-chan!
Why?!
Here, it's a gecko!
What are you doing, you lolicon?!
Subaru-kun, you sure are daring.
This is a misunderstanding...
Oh~?
