I was so close to representing Japan.

You still depressed over that? Get over it.

Alright! Less chatting more working. Ya' hear me?

Ok.

Right at the end, I choked.

Seriously, let it go.

All this moping your doing is driving me nuts.

Hey! Let's choose a theme for this summer.

About girls. Perfect huh?

Watermelon, fireworks, and girls. That's summer.

I'll stick to watermelons and fireworks.

Hey, it's been working for me so far.

Hey, you want a job?

Well, that's kinda what we're doing.

You are?

Yeah, we run maintenance checks on Oz.

You work for Oz? Really?

Awesome.

Naw, we're just part-time code monkeys. Pretty routine.

Well, it was worth a try.

Darn it.

Well, that's it then.

I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Hold on a second Natsuki.

- Maybe I can help you? - Really?

Hey, aren't you forgetting something?

I guess he's right. I'm sorry Natsuki.

That's too bad.

It's not even a real job.

All you'd have to do is go on a trip out to the country with me.

Oh wait! I'll do it!

Huh? You just said…

Well then... Then, count us both in.

Two might get complicated.

- Huh? - Huh?

All I need is one.

So who's it going to be?

Aaagh!

‎ ‎‎

‎

Tell me when you will come.

I'm going to get on the Shinkansen right now. Please wait --------- !!! Natsuki ^_^ ♥

Kenji! Hey, I'm over here.

Sorry, I'm late.

You're right on time.

I bet you that Sakuma would have taken all morning.

Whenever needs doing. Just say the word and I'm on it.

Thanks a lot.

For starters how about grabbing these.

Ueda city in Nagano?

It's great grandma's birthday party.

Our relatives are coming in from all over Japan.

And so we could use a little extra help.

So, how were you going to represent Japan anyway?

Huh?

Sakuma mentioned you came really close to represent Japan in something?

Oh, come on! What's all the blushing about?

Well, I almost got to go to the math Olympics this year.

Wait, Olympics? For math?

Hey, you must be pretty good then huh?

Good thing, because I suck at everything else.

Seriously? Then show me what you got?

All right...

Tell me both the year and the day that you were born?

Ok. It was on July 19th, 1992.

- On a Sunday. - Huh?

That's what day of the week July 19th, 1992 was.

It was a Sunday.

You're saying, you memorized all the dates?

No, I used modular arithmetic.

So, did I get it right?

Uh... I don't even know what day it was.

> Ueda. Next stop, Ueda. <

My great grandma's turning 90 in a couple of days.

Crazy huh?

She was born in 1920?

Talk about a full life.

Natsuki?

Natsuki it is you!

- Aunt Noriko! - Oh my god!

- It's been forever! - I've missed you!

We Jinnouchi's goes back 16 generations.

Wait seriously?

We have graves as far back as the Muromachi days.

We made quite a bundle in the silk industry during the Meiji era.

We were rolling in the cash.

Then old grandpa rest his soul, managed to fritter all of it away.

Hey! Aunt Yumi!

Natsuki!

Kid, we used to kick butt.

These days we got nothing. No factories, no mines, not even a measly wholesale store.

I still can't hardly believe it when I see granny's new year's cards pouring in.

Big politicians and CEO's. Man, it's nuts!

Welcome home!

Thanks, Nana!

Yeah, maybe that's why granny says such terrifying things sometimes.

Even now at the ripe old age of 90.

It's that warrior blood I tell ya'.

Oh, she's gonna have fun with you.

You've lived here?

You kids must be tired coming all that way.

Now, who wants some watermelon?

Ooh yeah!

- Watermelon yeah! - Yea!

Excuse me, ma'am.

I just wanted to wish you the very best.

Happy 90th birthday.

That's very sweet but...

It's my mom's birthday.

Wow.

Kenji! Come on.

Right!

I know I should have mentioned this before.

But when you meet my great-grandma.

Just go along with whatever I say.

Ok.

What are you gonna say?

Mother?

What is it?

I'm home granny!

Aw, you came.

I missed you so much!

Have you been feeling ok?

Never better, dear.

I was worried. They told me you've been sick.

Summer heat. That's all.

Stayed out too long in the sun.

Oh, that's a relief.

Mmm?

Er... hello.

Remember what I promise?

That's the boy?

Yep, Kenji Koiso.

Uh... pleased to meet you.

Natsuki and I are both in the physics club at school.

- So when she asked me... - Ahem.

Yeah so... we're going out.

Huh?

Going out?

Wha???

Yeah, Kenji my fiancé actually.

What?

Fiancée?

Uh...

Yup, fiancée.

I...?

Uh...

Well then...

So, I brought him home like I said I would.

Natsuki, what the heck is going on?

- Kenji. - Ahh! Uh-huh?

This great-granddaughter of mine is no pushover.
