Text1: Swimsuits are great! Kanamemo! (2) The highly acclaimed series is now on sale! Is Kana going to compete in the pool with her friends?!

Text2: The beauties are all in one place!

Haruka: Please give me 5 tickets to this type of world~

Chief: I’d rather keep all of them. Why don't you return them to me?

Text3: Iwami Shouko

Title: It’s more fun using them for yourself

Chief: These are this month’s promotional vouchers.

Chief: Please use them wisely.

Haruka: The beer vouchers have all been handed out!

Chief: Hala! Why are you looking so gloomy?

Yume: Aah! They have the water world entrance tickets!

Kana: Wah… They even have these! Amazing!

Haruka: Have you been there before?

Kana: Nope! I only heard about it from a television advertisement. I really want to go there!

Text4: It’s expensive!

Kana: Ah...

Title: I can see through your petty motives.

Haruka: Eh? What about Chief’s ticket?

Chief: Are you kidding me?

Haruka: Aah! // That’s it!

Haruka: Hehehe… I see.

Haruka: Then what about these six tickets?

Chief: Why did they increase?

Haruka: Oh~ Don’t tell me Chief is THAT bold?

Sfx: Curl

Title: Since it’s dangerous, maybe we shouldn't bait them?

Sfx: Hee Hee

Haruka: You’re so cute! You should just come out and say that you wanted to come along~

Chief: …

Haruka: Would Chief look cute in her school swimsuit?

Haruka: What about a one-piece swimsuit?

Haruka: Aah~ Bikinis look great too! // So, even children wearing bikinis have a lot of impact...

Haruka: It'd be too easy for it to slip off, since she doesn't have any curves. // Yah…

Kana: About that… Haruka?

Sfx: Thud Thud Thud Thud

Title: The importance of planning

Haruka: They were taken away from me~!

Sfx: Depressed

Yuki: Of course this would happen. Isn’t it bad enough that you're using it without permission?

Haruka: But this is too much! // I said I would help give them out to the customers!

Sfx: Frustration

Yuki: Oops… I said something inappropriate.

Haruka: But you know, I am the ditzy type.

Haruka: And I forgot to give them out! They'll have to rush to use it before the expiration date.

Haruka: If that's true, wouldn't it be a waste? It looks like we're the only ones who can use it, right?

Text1: I’m not wrong, right!?

Yume: Ah. Maybe you're right!

Yuki: Yume-chan, don’t be fooled by her words!

Title: Is there anything to fear in this world?

Kana: It looks like there are other kinds of tickets!

Text2: These are gift vouchers!

Yume: It’s normal to have hand rinse packs, etc.

Yume: The idea is that not all customers will receive them. We want to give them out to the regular customers.

Text3: I don’t think that's quite true...

Haruka: Yeah, the truth is that the ones who whine the most end up getting the freebies.

Haruka: This is why I always say:

Haruka: Selfishness isn't a bad trait to have!

Hinata: You should stop talking for now.

Title: Can we?

Hinata: But this is what happens, // there are people from the area I deliver to who come here to ask for the monthly movie passes.

Hinata: And they would come in groups! Do they have an ulterior motive?

Kana: Of course not. Those people are probably hardcore movie fans.

Hinata: Hoho, such a coincidence?

Hinata: One ticket for the last seat costs as much as 4500 yen. Two tickets for a month would cost 9000 yen.

Hinata: By the way, our newspaper’s subscription costs as much as 3500 yen per month.

Kana: Huh? // Eh?

Title: Service Mistake

Hinata: Yuki, are there any customers like that over there?

Yuki: On my side...? // Yeah.

Yuki: The last person I visited...

Hinata: Don't you ever get any coupons?

Hinata: You know, like freebies for customers?

Yuki: I’m not your servant. // I will never look after you.

Yuki: The duty of ‘taking care of someone’ should never be forced.

Yuki: My response infuriated him. // Was there anything wrong with it?

Hinata: How… How should I reply to this?

Title: Going to the school’s pool later?

Haruka: Kana, when does your summer vacation start?

Kana: It starts next week!

Haruka: Then let's think of where to go.

Kana: Don't worry about it. I don't have anywhere I really want to visit.

Haruka: Eh? Isn’t that boring?

Kana: Every year, I've always stayed at home.

Kana: As a result, I was able to receive the full attendance award! Isn't that great?

Kana: When the teacher praised me... // I was so happy!

Everyone: Kana!

Title: Everyone, to the mall!

Yume: Come and help me buy something!

Kana: Where to?

Haruka: Hey… wait a minute.

Haruka: You can't be serious!

Salesgirl: Miss, even if you ask that…

Hinata: Is Haruka arguing with someone?

Haruka: Why aren’t any old-fashioned school swimsuits sold here?!

Hinata: Let’s pretend not to know her. We definitely don’t know her!

Kana: Eh… Haruka seems insistent on me wearing one...

Page 6

Title: You shouldn't do this even if we're both female!

Haruka: Hey, let’s try this on!

Kana: I’m not really here to buy it.

Haruka: All right, all right.

Kana: Ahh! Why are you in here, too!?

Haruka: It’s all right!

Kana: Wait a second… Haruka! // Not there!

Haruka: What?

Kana: Aah…

Haruka: It’s okay…

Hinata It's a good thing that Haruka's a female…

Yuki: Yeah…

Yume: Aah! Where’s the pretty girl?

Title: Relax… It’s completely normal!!

Kana: Sigh…

Text1: She escaped!

Yume: Sorry to keep you waiting…

Kana: Is everything done?

Yume: Yeah. We bought a lot.

Yume: Here is Kana’s swimsuit!

Kana: Huh?

Kana: Eh? This one?

Yuki: You don’t have to worry! It's different from what Haruka chose for you.

Kana: Oh, I'm so glad it's not that!

Page 7

Title: Token of appreciation

Kana: I can’t accept this…

Kana: There is no reason for you to do so much for me.

Yume: I want to go on a vacation with everyone!

Yume: So, this is just me being selfish...

Yume: I'm sorry if I'm imposing on you, but... // Can you accept my selfish request just this once?

Kana: Okay...

Kana: Thank you!

Title: You are naive

Yume: I’m back!

Chief: Everyone left me behind. How dare you!

Hinata: It's not like that!

Yume: We went to buy swimsuits, // so that we can go someplace fun together!

Chief: In that case, can everyone tell me their scheduled off days?

Yume: Huh, Wednesday and Saturday?

Hinata/ Haruka: Tuesday and Friday.

Yuki: Monday and Wednesday.

Kana: Sunday.

Chief: All right, everyone back to work!

Sfx: Clap Clap

Title: The unintentional crime of indecent exposure

Haruka: Aww… after we put in so much effort to buy them!

Kana: We have no choice!

Yume: Ah! At least, it looks like everyone has the same idea!

Yume: All right. I'm leaving to deliver the evening papers!

Sfx: Blushed

Kana: Eh? Wait a minute, everyone!

Sfx: Hmph

Sfx: Hey

Kana: Huh?

Kana: Chief, with this and that… Wouldn’t they be arrested?

Sfx: Point

Chief: So that's how it is, eh?

Sfx: Frustration

Title: The flowery round marking

Kana: Ah… I have to go prepare dinner.

Chief: Okay.

Sfx: Creak

Kana: Sigh…

Chief: …

Chief: This is too…

Sfx: Scribble Scribble

Text1: Newspaper agency holiday

Text2: The rest of the off days are approved as well.

Chief: I really can't leave those kids alone!

Text3: It's great that no-one was arrested. Chief is really a kind person.
