“Yaa Amane, good morning! It's such a coincidence that we met here!”
“Good morning Himezaki-san, why did you come from the ground today?”
“Well, I thought if I dug a hole from my house to school, I can have it easy even on bad weather days.”
“That’s quite a crazy judgment and lunatic action. If the weather is bad, you can just make a teru teru bozu.”
“If I just dig a hole, even that won't be necessary. But, I dug in the wrong direction and ended up in the wrong place.”
“Heeh, where was it?”
“Dunno. Somehow, there were a lot of black people there, so we played soccer and samba together.”
“Did you keep digging directly down even though you tried going to school?”

“Amane─, the weather is insanely bad today─.”
“It's raining heavily just as the weather forecast said, Himezaki-san, it said there’s a 100% chance of precipitation all day today.”
“We can’t do anything if it’s raining, so let’s make teru teru bozu and make it sunny─.”
“That’s quite a cute idea, Himezaki-san, very well.”
“Alright! Then let’s use this tissue─!”
“It's been a while since I last made a teru teru bozu... umm, how do you do it again?”
“Look─, I made one while Amane was taking his time─.”
“As expected, you are fast, Himezaki-san.”
“Un, I guess so, then, the weather has gotten better, so let's play outside.”
“...It's a beautiful clear sky, not a cloud in the sky.”

“Amane─! it's the sea─!”
“It is indeed the sea, Himezaki-san. Or rather, why did we come to the sea?”
“Obviously, it’s for swimming? this is the sea after all”
“It’s still spring though.”
“It's been hot recently anyway! Let's get a head start on summer─!”
“The water is still cold, you know? Himezaki-san will probably be fine though.”
“Isn’t it fine, isn’t it fine?! I brought my swimsuit too!”
“Ah, isn’t that the one you bought last autumn but ended up not using it? (see Chapter 5 - [Himezaki-san & Swimsuit]).”
“Ah, what, however, the size doesn’t fit, I guess?”
“Fumu.”

“Is this, a photo? …No, a sketch of me? Himezaki-san.”
“Un! Good, isn’t it?!”
“As expected, I was really surprised. To think that you could draw a picture with such precision.”
“Geez─! I'm so embarrassed─! Then, how about this one?”
“This one is... un, you're good at this. However, could you please refrain from drawing anything that can't be shown to the public? Because this is a very all-ages work.”
“It’s fine as long as no one finds out─!”
“Is that how it is?”
“Now, I’ll draw another one by combining the drawing just now with the drawing of Amane earlier, and.”
“Please stop.”

“They’re selling ice cream, Amane.”
“Ice cream is sold all year round, isn't it, Himezaki-san?”
“It's been getting hot lately, isn’t it, Amane?”
“It's been indeed getting hot lately, Himezaki-san.”
“If it's this hot, your body will melt if you don't cool it down with ice cream, right, Amane?”
“To be able to melt your body, it’ll have to go beyond [scalding hot], much less just [hot], Himezaki-san.”
“Anyway, wouldn’t it be a problem for me to melt? Amane”
“Your appearance as you melt is so cute just like a mascot character, you know? Himezaki-san.”
“Amane, buy me an ice cream.”
“Say that honestly from the beginning.”

(T/N: [暑い - hot.] [熱い - hot. But I translated it as scalding hot.]. They’re kinda confusing, either way, they both mean hot.)

“Yaa Amane, let's have some tea and relax.”
“Thanks, you're very thoughtful, Himezaki-san.”
“We got some good tea after all, delicious, isn’t it?”
“Yes, what kind of tea is this?”
“Who knows? It seems like the tea was made using leaves that were picked from the mountain where Grandma used to live, but I don't know the details.”
“Heeh. ...It won't have any effect on a normal person if they drink it, right?”
“It's okay, our whole family drinks this.”
“That's not something that gives me peace of mind though.”
“Amane is also not [a normal person] at all.”
“I was just used to dealing with you because I’m often with you.”
────
(T/N: [馴れる - nareru - used to.] but can also mean [to become domesticated]. So maybe I can translate that as ‘I was just reared to deal with you because I’m often with you’)

“One month to full recovery! Isn't that a serious injury? What exactly happened?”
“Apparently, he was sent flying by a 4-ton truck, and slammed right into a plane as it crashed. Geez, that scar looked painful.”
“Heeh...”
“So then, I'm preparing a thousand cranes to wish him to get better quickly, but it's pretty tough going.”
“Those numbers are like that after all, so it must be difficult.”
“Un, even if I prepare them, they run away quickly.”
“Aah, I thought there were an awful lot of wild cranes today, so that’s what happened.”

“Mu─! How sly─! They deliberately put such a good prize in a position where it looks like it can easily fall and you can get it for 100 yen, when it's actually impossible─!”
“Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy it? You've done it more than ten times already.”
“Uu─n! But I get a sense of accomplishment when I get something like this myself! And if I buy it now, I'll be wasting the money I put into this!”
“You're playing right into their hands, Himezaki-san.”
“It’s bad because this crane is weak! ...Alright!”
“Himezaki-san, what do you plan to do by bringing a crane truck?”

“That’s the symbol of Children's Day, Himezaki-san. It seems like they put it up all over the place.”
“Ooh─!! I want to do it at my house too─!!”
“Does Himezaki-san's house not do it?”
“We’ve never done it even once─! But I’ll do it this year!”
“Do you make it by hand, Himezaki-san? Himezaki-san is very dexterous, so I think you can make it by yourself.”
“Un! First, I'm going to cosplay as a carp─! And then, I’ll grab onto a rod!”
“Congratulations on completing the combustion style koinobori, Himezaki-san.”

“This is my most confident work! Suspension bridge─!”

“I know right─! I took a train trip with my family the other day and it was quite refreshing!"
“That's good to hear. Was it quite a long trip?”
“No, it's just two prefectures away, so it’s not that much.”
“Heeh.”
“But we didn't have enough train fare for one person, so I was the only one who had to run behind the train, aren’t they terrible?”

“Amane─, I heard that drugs are even worse for the body than cigarettes.”
“I don't know about comparing it to cigarettes, but it seems like it's extremely bad.”
“Like having a good feeling and saying incomprehensible things when they use it?”
“Seems like it.”
“Like suddenly becoming violent or behaving strangely?”
“So it seems.”
“I guess it makes it easier to cause trouble to the surrounding people.”
“So what's wrong with that?”
“Even if I don’t rely on something like that, I’ll always make a racket and cause trouble by myself, right?”

“Isn't it Himezaki-san who said she wanted to come here? If we go back now, we'll be wasting our time waiting in line.”
“I guess I did but─, I'm tired of standing in line.”
“Hmm, if you say that much, I suppose we can leave. It’s a bit of a shame though.”
“No, look, it’s that, you know. If Amane says that much, I guess it can’t be helped.”
“Un? So are we still going to stand in line like this?”
“But that’d be hard on my spirit.”
“Haa.”

“What!? It’s impossible!? Then, how about this snake?”

“Un! It might be nice to look at the night sky from the top of the tree when it gets dark─!”
“I don’t think suddenly tearing up all the leaves that get in the way is good, but I suppose the view would be spectacular.”

“Probably─. Their bath felt nice though.”
“I suppose it had its own pros and cons. It’s often like that.”

“He─eh, by the way, this character, it reached 255 quickly, you know?”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“This guy gets stronger quickly, so I don’t think he should set limits for himself! If he believes in himself, he should be able to get stronger!”
“By the way, the reason why 255 is a good stopping number is that it is the maximum number that can be expressed in 8 bits in binary, which is 1 byte...”

“Hee─h, I see. I often had my mom sing for me.”
“Heeh.”
“Hearing that made me fall asleep immediately, so I had a hard time remembering the lyrics.”
“So you found it quite easy to fall asleep as a kid, Himezaki-san.”
“Un, even so, I still managed to remember it. The song is like this.”
Saying that, Himezaki-san began to sing.
Her singing voice pleasantly stimulates my five senses and forcibly steals my consciousness.

“I don't mind you trying it, but won’t there be some problems?”
“Problem? I don't think riding horses to school is prohibited though?”
“Leaving aside whether or not it's prohibited, there are probably many problems. Like the need to feed it, dispose of its feces, also, it might end up injuring students who approached it out of curiosity.”
“Ah, indeed. Also, in the end, it was faster for me to go by running anyway.”
