Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (阿波連さんははかれない)

Hey, why don't we all hit the beach when summer break rolls around?

Sure. I've been wanting to go myself.

I take it you want to go too, Aharen-san?

We can barbecue and the whole shebang!

A beachside barbecue with friends over break, huh?

Must be a lot of work, being a normie.

Man, I know!

Hey, do you want in too, Tamanaha-san?

I'm invited?

Yeah, sure you are.

I-I get to go to the beach?!

I get to grill and everything?!

Y-Yeah, of course.

Any idea what beach you want to hit?

You bet!

Arrive by boat! The perfect day trip An isolated island surrounded by blue seas

Let's hear the details, Ishikawa.

Episode Five Going Swimming, Huh?

It's an island you can visit for the day! You get there by boat!

And if you catch the last boat back...

That's plenty of time to have fun.

And that's not all!

Sights of the island! A romantic power spot

The Divine Horizon

There's a power spot!

They say couples who see the sun touch the horizon over the sea

will be together for a long time!

You can even catch the last boat back after sunset.

Together for a long time...

Looks like Aharen-san's into it!

She really seems to be looking forward to this.

That makes sense, though.

After all, she's really...

the reincarnation of Robinson Crusoe!

Surviving deserted islands is old hat to her.

And the best source of nutrition on a tiny island is, of course, the sea.

Which means...

Time's a-wasting. I had better buy a good swimsuit.

A swimsuit...?

I can't believe none of us had swimsuits.

I've only got my school-issued one.

How about this?

I've never worn a swimsuit that shows my midriff before...

Do you think it'll look okay?

It'll be fine! Besides, you don't go to the beach every day.

Why not go for something a little different?

Tamanaha-san.

What's up?

Oh, I was just thinking this kind of swimsuit would look good on you.

Hey, yeah! It's cute.

I'll try it on.

I only have a competition swimsuit, myself.

I'm glad we all decided to go shopping.

Same. My old school didn't have a pool, so I don't even have one for gym class.

Oh, look! That one's cute, too.

It's kinda fun to be close enough

that we can go shopping together.

What do you mean?

I've always wanted to do stuff like this.

I'm really grateful you've all been so nice since I transferred.

Let's spend lots more time together, okay?

Yeah!

I know!

How about this one for you, Oshiro-san?

You've got a great body, so this should be perfect!

Wh-What? I don't know about that...

You both look amazing!

Y-You really think so?

So cute!

It's perfect!

Since you've got it on, let me take a picture of it for you!

It really suits you!

You look like an idol, Aha-chan!

Okay, pose for me!

Maybe I should send this to Raido-kun.

See anything good?

Not a lot of swimwear options for guys, and then there's the prices...

How about this?

Wet Suit for Diving

I'll grab our grub.

Thanks.

Sato Hanako

I'm gonna send you a picture of Aharen-san's swimsuit

This is...

kinda super close-up, isn't it?

Come on, Aharen-san!

You have to back up some! Back up!

And now... I can't even tell where she is.

Okay, this time you're too far away!

You don't have to back up that much.

This is really embarrassing.

Maybe I'll save it for the beach.

That makes sense. Sorry.

Thank you, though, Sato-san. For helping me pick something out.

No sweat!

Plus, you'll get to show Raido-kun a new side of you this summer!

Aw, Sato-san...

But...

I'm a little scared of changing.

I can't help thinking our relationship might change someday, too.

It'll be okay.

You and Raido-kun have already changed so much since you first met.

That's the reason you have what you do now, right?

You're right. Thanks.

If you really feel that way...

Gotta try something different yourself too, right?

No, I don't!

Hey! We're getting close to the island!

It's pretty big.

I've never been to an island like this before!

There's a beach right by the docks and everything.

This should be fun, huh?

Neenee?

Is Reina-neenee not home today?

No. She went out somewhere with Raido-san.

I wish they'd taken me, too.

That's asking too much. They went with their other friends from school.

Come on, I'll play with you today.

'Kay.

That's right. The idea of crashing a gathering of friends for no real reason...

I can't think of anything so tactless.

But if anything does happen, I need to be prepared

to race to the island at a moment's notice.

I should check if there's a heliport

in case we need to take a helicopter there.

Big Catch

If not, I'll need to charter a boat.

Best to check with the island's town hall to get the specifics.

Eru-neenee, let's watch a movie!

If you insist.

This is scary!

Sure, sure.

What should I do?

What if, on the island...

Reina gets wrapped up in some ancient ceremony!

You hear about dangerous rites like that on tiny islands,

the kind passed down since olden days...

She could get taken captive.

What then?!

Beach time!

Hey, Raido!

Nice swimsuit.

I thought so.

We're here!

Wh-What do you think?

I look weird, don't I?

Not at all.

You look really cute... I was almost speechless.

Thanks...

What? What gives?

Go on, go on!

That's a new swimsuit, right?

O-Of course it is.

Do you realize how long it's been since I've worn one?

It looks really cute.

Th-Thanks...

We'll have to catch a boat, so we don't have all day...

So let's get this party started!

Round and round and round and round!

Right there!

You can do it!

Right! To your right!

Now left! Wait, which way? Left!

Um...
