Kibitou High School Sousetsu Festival
Come on over, come here! Have some delicious Yakisoba!{yakisoba}
The kneaded ones usually get oily on the outside,
so put them in the oden pot after rinsing them with hot water.
Make sure to thin the broth with water in a one to one ratio before putting it in the pot.
As everything simmers,{boils} the broth will gradually cloud, so change it then.
I guess that's about it.
I told Nanasaki everything, but do you have any questions?
I think I'll be fine. I'll ask Nanasaki if I don't understand something.
Leave it to me! I'll manage even if Tachibana-senpai isn't very helpful.
Hey, that's not very nice, Nanasaki!
I'm just kidding.
You two make a good pair.
Haruka!
Seriously, this happens the moment I look away.
What are you talking about? This is just a sample tasting.
I'm just testing if it's something you can serve to customers.
So, how is it?
I don't know, I need to eat a little more.
I see, it was so good that you want to eat a little more.
Yeah, I guess that's what I mean.
If I stay here any longer, Haruka will eat all of it.
We'll be going now. I'm counting on you two.
Yeah.
Good luck, Nanasaki.
Yes, ma'am.
Just another bite, Hibiki-chan, just one more!
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Morishima-senpai... Yeah, yeah, let's go.
We're going to start soon, Senpai. Let's do our best!
And now, a few opening words from Ayatsuji Tsukasa-san,
the Sousetsu Festival Executive Committee Chairman.
Thank you very much for coming to Kibitou High School's Sousetsu Festival today.
This festival was created as a symbol of thanks to our founder,
and this year will be our 57th year holding it.
This year, we students have used our wits and effort to prepare a festival you will find satisfactory.

{oh god food names}Can I have two each of daikons, chikuwas, and ganmos? Oden Girls' Swim Team
{oh god food names}Can I have two each of daikons, chikuwas, and ganmos?
Sure! Oden Girls' Swim Team
I'll have a hanpen and kinchaku with mochi over here. I'll also have a konbu{seaweed}.
Get me the ones with the flavor soaked in, all right?
Yes, ma'am! Thank you very much.
We're almost out of daikon and hanpen, Nanasaki.
I've got it covered.
I'll put this right next to you, all right?
Hey there, seems like you're enjoying yourselves.
We came to make sure the taste lives up to the Kibitou standard.
Kibitou's winter is Japan's winter.
Who might you two be?
Just call us the dropping in tea club.
Dropping in?
That aside, this is the girls' swim team's oden stand!
Why is there a guy here?
I'm here to help out—
Help out?!
A guy is helping out the girls' swim team's oden stand?
The godly oden stand sure has fallen back to earth.
Disappointed.
No way!
Just a moment.
I was the one who made the oden. If you have a problem with the flavor, you should complain to me.
I was taught by Tsukahara-senpai herself.
Tsukahara...
I see, so that's how it is.
Oden Girls' Swim Team
I understand.
Very well, I'll try one then.
But I won't be satisfied unless it tastes just like the traditional swim team oden.
Yes, I understand.
Nanasaki...
It'll be fine, Senpai.
Konbu, one from the very bottom.
I'll have a daikon, get one with a nice color, okay?
Understood.
Oden Girls' Swim Team
Here you go.
Thanks.
Gratitude for the best of the sea.
How is it?
Is it good?
Delicious!
This is delicious, it's perfect, just like the traditional taste!
Thank you very much.
Thank goodness...
Yeah.
We were looking for this taste!
The Kibitou High School Swim Team's traditional taste.
Judging from this, it looks like we can look forward to next year.
We'll come back to eat some.
That's right, what's your name?
Me? I'm Nanasaki Ai, a freshman on the swim team.
I'll remember that.
Looks like Manaka likes it too.
All right, here you go. Keep the change.
Sure.
We'll go advertise for you. "The swim team's tradition has been preserved," or something like that.
Very satisfied.
Thank you very much!
My, my, that smells nice!
Takahashi-sensei!{this teacher rox my sox}
Heya, it's me, {Imoen}Takahashi Maya-chan! {I think she refers to herself as -chan rather than sensei here}
Are you drunk?
What happened?
Oh, you see, we serve amazake at the tea club each year for the Sousetsu Festival.
It can't be, because of that...?
I remember Takahashi-sensei went berserk after drinking the amazake last year,
so I warned her not to do it this year,
but the moment I took my eyes off her, Rihochi had her taste it.
What have you done, Rihoko?
Well, we did send her to the nurse's office so she could sleep it off...
The Great Escape.
You didn't know about this, Tachibana-senpai?
I didn't go to the Sousetsu festival last year.
How much did she drink then?
Well...
That much?!
Why not?! I'm human too!
I want to drink and go berserk and do crazy things once in a while too...
Sensei... wait, drinking is fine but going berserk and doing crazy things isn't.
It's fine! Anyway, get me some oden and a shouchuu{distilled sake} cut with broth!{however you say putting something else in hard liquor to lower the alcohol content per volume}
Like I said, shouchuu cut with broth.
What's that?
Don't you know?! You get some shouchuu and mix it with oden broth.
Hurry up!
Well, you see, this is a school festival, so we don't have any alcohol.
None? What a useless store.
My image of Takahashi-sensei is crumbling.
What's wrong, is there a commotion going on here?
Ayatsuji-san...
Oh, Class President!
Takahashi-sensei... again?
I'm sorry about this. You even gave us permission to sell amazake again this year.
No, there's nothing you could have done to prevent this. Sorry, can I ask for a favor?
Let's go to the nurse's office, Takahashi-sensei.
Shouchuu!
Thanks, Ayatsuji-san.
Don't worry about it, it's just my job.
Senpai.
This.
Have this, Ayatsuji-san. Think of it as a sign of thanks.
Is it okay?
Yeah.
Thank you, I'll have a bite then.
Good luck, you two.
Sorry we caused you so much trouble.
We have to get back to the tea club soon, so we'll get going now.
We'll make sure to advertise.
Actions over words.
All right, time to get working!
Yeah!
That's weird...
What's wrong?
It's not working like it's supposed to...{they added this feature?}
Sorry we're late, Rihochi!
You're really late, Senpai! Do you know how hard it was alone?
Next up, entry number eight! Tanaka Keiko-san! Miss Santa Contest Waiting Room
Next up, entry number eight! Tanaka Keiko-san!
Good luck, Keiko!
Here I go!
Hey, you two!
Hey there, babe!
Sae-chan? Sae-chan?! Where did you go, Sae-chan?!
I can't do it, I can't enter a contest.
Here, sorry for the wait.
Just a moment, Senpai.
Here you go.
I think Tsukahara-senpai would have done the same.
She probably would.
Don't they look happy?
Yeah!
We're all sold out.
We sure are.
I wanted to eat some oden too.
I set some aside.
Really?!
Yeah, but we only get to eat after we finish cleaning up.
I guess so, all right, let's get this place cleaned up then!
Don't worry, we'll take care of that.
Tsukahara-senpai...
What's with that outfit?
I just got past a wall...
That aside, good work you two.
The girls who were at cram school will be coming back,
and we seniors were able to enjoy this last Sousetsu festival to our hearts' content.
Since we let you two handle the selling, we'll do the clean up work.
But...
Think of it as free time, a reward for selling out. There's no problem then, right?
All right then.
Thank you very much.
I'm exhausted!
We were on duty the whole time, after all.
I can finally have a normal conversation with you.{ You know, since we didn't have that time while we worked.}
You know, since we didn't have time while we worked.
Yeah...
Time to have some of this oden you kept for me.
Delicious, I can see why this sold out!
Really?
Yeah!
By the way...
You asked me if I had free time back then, right?
You know, back when you asked if I could help out with the oden stand.
Why?
That's because...
Do you want to know?
Hurry up, Senpai! The bus is about to leave!
Wait up, Nanasaki!
Barely made it.
Thank goodness, we made the last bus.
But where are we taking a bus to?
It's a secret.
Sorry, I wasn't able to enter the contest after all.
No, it's my fault. I misunderstood when you said you wanted to wear a Santa costume.
It's because I wasn't being clear.
In any case, can I really stop by your house?
Yeah, Papa said it's okay.
I think they prepared dinner for you already.
Awesome, there's going to be a party at your house tonight!
That's not for Christmas, Miya-chan.
Oh, right.{Nishishi}
Hey, why are we getting off here, Nanasaki?
Let's go.
Go? Where?
This way.
What?! We're going into the mountains at this hour?!
That was the plan, hurry up or I'll leave you behind.
Wait up, Nanasaki!
We've walked pretty far... we sure are going a ways.
We're almost there, try your best.
What in the world could be out here?
It can't be!
You can do whatever you want with me, Senpai.
Like that?
I can't hold back anymore!
Or that?!
You can't get away now, Senpai.
No one will hear you scream here.
That's going a little far.
In my opinion, I think those romantic scenes are better.
Senpai?
Yes, what is it?!
Why are you so surprised?
Have you noticed?
What?
The smell.
The smell?
Oh, it smells kind of like rotten eggs... no, sulfur?
This is...{onsen!}
A hot spring?
Yeah, this is our destination.
I brought the things we need for a hot spring too.
So that's what that sports bag was for.
Of course, I have your things too.
You could've just told me.
I wanted to surprise you.
My uncle owns this mountain.
I come here a lot, like when I strain a muscle during club activities or something.
Wow, I guess this is one of those "hidden legendary baths."
Here are your things.
I'll be getting ready, so you can go on in.
All right.
This sure feels good.
I had to walk over the mountain after all.
Anyway, what in the world is Nanasaki up to?
It's late at night, and we're at a hot spring in the mountains away from civilization.
Senpai?
Yes?!
Are you in already?
Yeah.
I'll get in too then.
All right, I'll be facing this way so I can't see.
You can look.
Since I'm wearing a swimsuit underneath.
Sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations.
I suppose that's only normal.
I personally don't mind either way,
but I figured a swimsuit would be the best option, since it's you we're talking about.
Yeah, I guess so.
She's right, if she weren't wearing a swimsuit, I wouldn't even be able to have a conversation.
This kind of makes you nervous, doesn't it?
Yeah...
It's good that we sold all the oden today.
Yeah...
A lot of customers came, and the people in the tea club accepted your skill.
Yeah, I never imagined I'd sell oden with you the first time we met.
Same here.
Or end up in the same hot spring like this.
It's because a lot of things happened in this short time, right?
Yeah.
Senpai...
I have something to tell you, Senpai.
What is it?
My feelings...
I... love you, Senpai.
I love you.
Nanasaki.
So much so, that I may not be able to contain all this emotion in my body.
I can't hide it, it comes flowing out.
I can't hide it anymore.
I'm happy.
Because I love you too, Nanasaki.
I'm in love with you, Nanasaki.
I can't help it.
Nanasaki?
Nanasaki!
Weren't you wearing a swimsuit, Nanasaki?
It was embarrassing, so I lied.
Lied?!
But when I think that I confessed to you, it's nothing.
Nothing?!
This is a bit much.
There's nothing wrong with this.
But...
It's fine...
because I love you, Senpai.
Senpai. Keep the Ocean Clean
Senpai, Senpai.
Please wake up, you'll catch a cold at this rate.
Just a little more, your legs are warm and feel really good.
Geez, fine then, just a little more.
Even if you do catch a cold, I'll take care of you.
Thank you, Ai.
I don't mind if it's for you, Senpai.

What is it, Rihoko?
I'm apparently the heroine starting next episode.
What does that mean?
I think it means just what it says. I wonder if it's wrong.
Oh, you're such a dummy, Rihoko. Someone's probably kidding around with you.
