Part 74: 7/19/09

7/19/09

I celebrated the start of this short break by buying some stuff from Tanaka’s show.



I ran into Junpei in the mall, he was getting ready for the trip.



I asked Akihiko-san, but he doesn’t give a rip about fashion.
It’s always best to ask girls about this stuff. So, just name it!
Boxers.
The basic style, huh? I dunno, is that the style I should go for?

I really just don’t want to see him in anything less than that. Anyway Yukari and Fuuka were doing the same elsewhere.



Although, I don’t think it’s this shop’s selection…
It could just be that I’m not up for a new swimsuit at all.

Yukari wasn’t being much help, though.



I’ve never bought a bathing suit besides the school one.
But I don’t think Yukari-chan is really up for this…

I swung by the bookstore, they’re up to something but won’t tell me what.



There are two k’s…
I know, I know!
I just forgot to write the second one.
I feel bad for Aelita-chan and all the people who’ve been campaigning to save the tree…
…Oh! Speak of the devil.
I’ve been writing a letter—something I haven’t done in ages. But, I can’t remember how to spell half these words!
Am I finally losing it? I used to have an amazing vocabulary.
What is it for?
Sorry, can’t let you see it. Top secret.
> Bunkichi seems to be having fun.
I’ll tell you when the time comes, Aelita-chan.
Well, aren’t you curious?
The suspense is killing me!
…We’re just as excited.
Your enthusiasm is contagious, Aelita-chan.
Just look at my wife. She’s as giddy as a schoolgirl.
> It seems Bunkichi and Mitsuko are counting on you.
> Your relationship is stronger now!

Guess I’ll just have to wait and see.



> It’s getting dark out.
I hope we can clean up the store before you come back next time…
> After saying goodbye to Bunkichi and Mitsuko, you decided to go back to the dorm.

I just hope Junpei doesn’t go overboard at the beach.



* sigh * Is that all you think about, Junpei-kun…?
You sure know how to leave your troubles behind…
I wish I could forget my worries as easily as you do.
……
You gotta get the most outta life!
I know you’re right, but still…
……

Poor Yukari’s still too upset to be excited about the trip.



Well, it’s not like I don’t like Yakushima…
Usually, I love being out in the sun and swimming in the ocean…
…I’m just not really up for it this time.

I’ll just have to force her to have fun or something.



Besides, we’re leaving for Yakushima soon.
That reminds me… I wonder how Yukari-chan is doing…
She didn’t seem very enthusiastic about buying a bathing suit.
