p2
Good grief!

p3
Chise: What's with this rain! I knew it, we should have had our car drive us to the store!
Fumino: It was your fault for keeping everyone in the club room, trying to come up with the name for the club!!

p4
And besides, if we can't figure out what the club is for, how are we supposed to come with a name!!?
On the board:
Club Name
SOS dan (crossed out) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya

What did you say!?
Just you wait, some day I'll be better at cake making than you people!!

Fumino: !!?
Chise: What's your cup size anways, Serizawa!?

16
p1
Fumino: Wha-... What are you doing!? Clearly bigger that yours, even without checking!!

Die twice, you pervert!!!

p2
How dare you peep on your master changing, even though you're a servant!!

p3
GYAAAA

p4
Meow~~~

20
p1
...A cat?

p2

p3
So that's what happened! I found this kitten in the rain, but
Our apartment building doesn't allow pets, so I didn't know what to do with it

p4
Kanae: And then, Fumino's boyfriend came and helped me!
Above head: Ku~~~~~!
Kanae: That's our Takumicchi ♥
Fumino: There's a lot I want to say... But I understand the situation now

21
p1
...An abandoned cat?
But it has a collar on...

p2
Otome: Mmm... Fine. I don't mind if we keep another cat here
Fumino: Owner!

p3
Fumino: Pl-... Please don't go deciding just like that
Takumi: That's right, its owner is probably looking for it

p4

p5
Cat: Meow
Chise: Wha-... What?

22
p1
...Hmmph
You're not cute...

p2

p3
Chise: Takumi! Hand!!
Takumi: Wha-... What's this, all of a sudden...?

23
p1
Let's start searching for the owner!
This is the time for our club to act!!

p2
!

p3
Kanae: You're so kind, Chii-pon ♥
Chise: Don't call me Chii-pon!!!

p4
SFX: Ring

p5
Ah!
Welcome----

24
Good day

25
p1
Chise: Ah!!
//Chise: Why are YOU here!?
Kaho: Huhu...

p2
I heard from the head of the Umenomori family that you've begun your study of society, Chise-sama
I'm here to observe that today

p3
Chise thought: Grandfather said too much!
Chise: N-... Nothing special... Just a normal cake shop!
Kaho: It does appear that way

p4
Takumi: Uh... Umm
//Takumi: Who's she?
Kaho: Oh my, how rude of me

26
p1
I am Chikumaen Kaho
We've been associated with the Umenomori family since before the Meiji Restoration...

p2
Huuuh...

p3
Fumino: Somehow, I feel that as a lady she's completely different from you
Chise: Shut up!

p4
Chise: Really, Kaho! I'm busy now, so just go home...
Kaho: Oh my... How cold

p5
Chise-sama...
Why did you create your own club at school?

27
p1
Chise: Th-... That's right! It's an ideal club for me to launch myself into the world!
Kaho: So I see

p2
I am too... creating a White Lily Society at my own school
*tl note: Shirayurikai. "Lily" is "yuri" in Japanese, if that tells you anything. Also, possibly an allusion to Yamayurikai from Marimite.
It's a place for the students to refine their elegance and social graces

p3
So today, Chise-sama
I came hoping to use your activities as a reference

28
p1
Chise: A-... Activities!?
Kaho: Yes... What kind of activities do you engage in?

p2
I-... It's... For now it's not anything special...

p3
Chise: Honestly, it's fun to just hang out together...
Kaho: Ohhh...?

p4
Meow~~

p5
Oh no, this isn't good!
We must look for the kittie's owner before nightfall!

29
p1

p2
Nozomi: Meow
//Nozomi: Let's look
Takumi: That's right... Umenomori, we'll go out looking for the cat's owner

p3
Fumino: Alright then, Otome-san, please take care of the store
Otome: Ye-e-es

p4
Wa-... Wait a minute! I'm going too!!

p5
Chise: Kaho! You can stay here and have some cake
Kaho: Eh?

30
p1
Chise: Satou! Suzuki!
Satou+Suzuki: Yes!!

p2
Chise: Do you understand?
Takumi+Fumino: Where'd they come from...?
Satou+Suzuki: Yes, Lady Chise!

Kaho: What is everyone doing?
Otome: Uh... I think they're out looking for the owner of the kitten they picked up

p3
Picked up...?
They're doing this for some kitten... they just found?
//And so desperately, too...

p4

33
p1/p2
You see, those kids

p3/p4
They're kids who would do something like that ♫

34
p1/p2
...I see

p3
That Chise-sama, known for her selfishness even among high society...
I wonder if she's changed...

p4
Meow---

p5

35
p1/p2

p3
Takumi: I... I found her, Nee-san!
Otome: Really!? Awesome!!

p4
Takumi: I found a person who was just looking for a cat...
Megane ko: Kurosuke!!

I'm so glad~~~
I was looking for you, Kurosuke!
Non-bubble: Meow-♥

Fumino: Takumi! You found her!!?
Nozomi: Meow
Takumi: Yeah

37
p1
Oh boy...
My legs are killing me

p2
But you found her, right?
Huhu

p3
Kanae: Yes~~~ I'm truly grateful, everyone!
//Kanae: Chii-pon too ♥
Chise: Like I said, don't call me Chii-pon!

p4
.....

38
p1
...Wonderful, aren't they?

p2
Those kids

p3
Otome: They're kids who are glad at other people's happiness as if it was their own ♫
Kaho: ...So I see

39
p1
This is the first time I've seen Chise-sama...
Enjoy herself so much

p2
Ah

p3
Kaho! I'm sorry
...So, what were we talking about?

p4
Otome: Uhuhu ♥ I think it's clear what your club is like even without explaining
Kaho: Yes... I understand quite well now

40
p1
Honestly
I didn't expect it

p2
?

p3
Kaho: I shall now take my leave for today...
Chise: Uh... Yeah

p4
Kaho: That's right... Chise-sama, what is...
//Kaho: the name of your society?
Chise: !
//Chise: N-... name?

41
p1
Chise: Uh... Let's see...
Cat: Meow~~

p2

p3
Umenomori

p4
Takumi: I just thought of something
Takumi: How about "The Stray Cats Association"?
Chise: The Stray Cats Association?

p5
....

p6
That's it! That's what it is!!
As expected from my servant!!

42
p1
Kaho! Our club is called the Stray Cats Association!!
This is a club to help people and to have fun together!

p2
...Understood
And so, I bid farewell to everyone in the Stray Cats Association...

p3
Let's..
Meet again

43
p1
...I wonder why Kaho came here

p2
Well... Be it as it may, the club name is finally decided!
Thanks to Takumi!!

p3
Fumino: But... Why "stray cats"?
Takumi: Eh?
Takumi: Somehow, as I was looking at you guys, and at that kitten, it just came...

p4
Takumi: It really fits us perfectly, doesn't it?
Non-bubble: Even though he's Takumi...
Fumino: More or less...

44
p1
Chise: I'm so glad~~~ If we couldn't decide, at this rate we'd have no choice but to call ourselves, as Nozomi proposed, the Chise Club or the Chise Association!
Nozomi: Meow
???: I'm glad we decided!

p2
And that's how we decided on the name

p3
Our Stray Cats Association is now active

p4
Next time take care so he doesn't run away!

p5
Yes!

45
p1
Megane ko: Whoa!
Cat: Meow
Chise: As soon as I told you!!

p2

p3
I'll catch him...

p4
Fumino: Aghhh!?
Takumi: Fumi...no?

p1
I... didn't mean to, Fumino...

p1/p2
This is a little like To Love Ru...
