Good morning!
Ah, Haruka-chan! Good morning to you.
Morning. It sure is cold today, don't you think?
Good morning.
Oh my. Fuyuki-kun! Are you helping out?
My father does the cooking and the laundry, so the least I can do is take out the trash.
That's impressive.
Not only that...
...but he's also participating in the recycling event this Saturday morning.
I'm sorry. I'd like to attend, but it just isn't very convenient for me.
It's fine, Haruka-chan.
You're already a mother-figure at your age after all.
All that housework must be tough for you.
I'm already used to it.
This kid will work extra hard in your place.
We'll be counting on you this weekend.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
It's morning already. Wake up!
Hey Kana...
One more hour...
No, thirty minutes.
Let me rest my weary body.
No! Wake up and eat breakfast!
I stayed up last night reading manga.
You reap what you sow.
You'll be late again!
Don't worry, Fujioka.
Kana can hold out for another five minutes.
I feel bad for Haruka-neesama, but those five minutes are precious to me.
Enough already!
I told you...
...to tidy up your room yesterday, didn't I?
Well, you know...
I was going to, but...
And?
I dug up some old manga and just couldn't stop reading.
It just happens you know...
Both of you will attend the recycling event tomorrow morning.
Eh? But that's a Saturday morning. Let me sleep in once in a while.
You're always sleeping in even if it isn't a Saturday.
Fuyuki-kun from next door is also participating, don't you think that's impressive?
You two are going too, right?
Well that's him.
We have our own way of doing things.
Got it?
Yes.
Lucky you. You get to live so comfortably.
What's wrong? You don't look too well.
Just a bit.
Fuyuki-kun, wait!
Nice timing.
Can you pass these worksheets out before class starts?
Yes, I understand.
Thank you for your help.
Is he...
...the class representative or something?
The transfer student?
Probably not. It looks like he just does favours for anyone who asks him.
I see.
Is there something up with him?
No, it's not that.
It's because I have to show up at a recycling event tomorrow morning.
This Saturday morning? The one they hold every week? Impressive!
What? What's going on?
Chiaki's going to a recycling event.
Eh? That's amazing.
Is it really that amazing?
Of course. My mother tells me to get out of the house a lot, but...
It sure is cold in the morning...
Makes me not want to do it.
Then let's go.
Fujioka! Hey, Fujioka!
Yes?
Fujioka, are you free tomorrow?
Eh? Yeah! Of course I'm free.
Okay then. Let's meet up at the community centre at eight o'clock.
Okay. Got it!
All right. Don't you forget.
Of course I won't. Eight o'clock right?
A movie theater? Or maybe an amusement park? Taking a walk together sounds nice.
What're we going to do?
Hey, Keiko.
Are you free tomorrow?
Tommorrow? If it's in the morning...
Let's meet up at eight o'clock.
Why? Is something up?
Being a mother must be tough work.
I have to be strict sometimes.
But it sure is cold this time of year.
Our next door neighbor is also participating.
It surprised me when I found out he's the same age as Chiaki.
That's one hardworking kid.
Umm, Hosaka-senpai?
I understand.
Eight o'clock tomorrow right? I'm in.
Does he seriously plan on going?
It's cold!
Where's Kana? Don't tell me she isn't coming.
Ah! They're here!
Hey! Chiaki, you're late!
Sorry. You can blame this idiot here.
I can't work without breakfast.
You eat way too much, dumbass.
What'd you say?
Yo!
Good morning, Haruka-san.
Morning. So you guys came too?
Kana called us last night telling us to come.
I'm glad I can help you out, Haruka-san.
Let's work hard together, okay?
So is everyone here?
Now isn't the time to be saying that...
Good morning, Minami.
Good mo- What's with that look?
Morning, Haruka!
Maki, you came too?
Well, yeah...
Hey...
Is that Hosaka-senpai in that tent over there?
Did he live in the same area?
He really came!
Today, four locations have been selected for the event:
The park, community centre, elementary school and shopping centre parking lot.
Please be aware you will be responsible for separating your garbage.
Here are your gloves.
Morning, Fuyuki-kun.
If you have any questions, please ask the nearby staff.
Good morning, everyone.
Here are your gloves.
Thanks. Working hard today too, huh?
If you need help separating garbage, please don't hesitate to ask.
Here.
Here you go.
Oh! Thank you!
Here you go, everyone.
Can I really have these?
Thanks.
Thank you.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Chiaki, is this flammable trash?
It's not.
Okay!
Having to separate trash is tough.
I don't get why we have to.
Kana's already a handful.
Is this flammable trash?
It's nonflammable trash.
Sorry about that.
It's okay. You can ask me any time.
Is this also nonflammable trash?
Yes, it's nonflammable.
Thanks a lot. You've been very helpful.
Please ask if you have any other questions.
Hey Chiaki!
Is this nonflammable trash?
Of course that's flammable. You should be able to figure that out on your own.
How cold-hearted.
Get it straight already!
Hey Chiaki.
Is there something else?
I've had enough.
Aluminium can.
I'm also doing my best, Minami Haruka.
Are you telling me you don't need my help?
That's fine.
Steel can.
Hey! Don't fall asleep. Stop being lazy! Quit screwing around!
I'm leaving the rest to you.
My workaholic little sister.
Get up already. You pathetic excuse for an older sister.
You don't have to be so pushy. After all today is...
Kana, what are you doing?
Haruka-neesama.
Well, I've had enough.
If you don't start collecting trash, you aren't getting any dinner. Got it?!
No way!
Umm, Haruka-neesama, does that apply to me too?
If you want to eat, then work!
Not good!
Good work! How was it?
Behold! Since I've collected this much, tonight's dinner will be a full course meal with crabs.
Thank you for your help, Fuyuki-kun.
Don't mention it.
That's amazing, Fuyuki-kun. That's your second one today.
Oh, it's nothing. I had other people help out after all.
So humble.
You little...!!
How can you collect so many? Don't you know how to leave things alone!?
This isn't the time for stupid things like that.
Why don't you take his cue and work harder?
Right?
I'm sorry.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Kana's just making a fuss again.
What's with the sudden attack!? Are you going to use a rope now like it's still Shinengou!?
Note: Shinengou, refers to ancient Japanese eras where police would use rope to tie up their criminals.
Why don't you learn from Fuyuki-kun?
You should be embarrassed as his elder.
Um, but...
I'm really not doing anything that great.
You're being complemented. Why don't you be honest to yourself and be happy about it?
Eh?
Chiaki, don't be so harsh.
But, Haruka-neesama...
If you'll excuse me.
Keep it up!
You two need to pick up the pace.
That is, if you don't want to lose to Fuyuki-kun.
This is a serious problem.
If I lose to Fuyuki-kun, I won't get any dinner!
So it's a garbage collecting competition?
Would Haruka-san really set up such a thing?
What's wrong, Chiaki?
Well she did say something about not losing to him, but...
So that means Haruka actually doesn't like to lose?
Listen up! Ladies and Gentlemen!
It's just as you heard, the situation is very dire.
Whether I receive my next meal or not is entirely dependent on our success!
I'm expecting results from you guys.
Eh? We're participating too?
So you were planning to use us from the start...
Looks troublesome.
It's always like this, though.
Shouldn't we stop her?
Well, I don't feel like losing to Fuyuki-kun either.
Let's formulate our plan.
Where's Keiko-san?
Oh, she's been gone since noon.
That traitor!
Okay, Chiaki! Tactics!
The park's already been cleaned. We can't fight it out here.
Then what are we going to do?
We'll go somewhere with a lot of trash.
It's cold!
Did we really have to come here?
Look! Trash! There's trash here!
Treasure hunt!
Oh look! Ramune!
Note: Ramune, a lemon soft drink with a distinct bottle design.
This is amazing.
There's a lot of illegal dumping going on here.
Illegal dumping?
People throw out things they shouldn't throw out and throw them in places where they don't belong.
Ladies and Gents! This is a huge haul!
With this alone, tonight's dinner could be Unidon!
Note: Unidon, a bowl of rice with soya sauce, eggs and sea urchins.
Actually, if Haruka adds crab it'd be delicious!
She's thrown away basic human qualities she shouldn't have thrown away.
Chiaki, look!
Hmm?
He even came all the way out here?
He's trying to interfere again.
Our enemy is here to steal away our next meal.
What a way to put it. It's not the meal he's trying to take, it's the trash.
Could he be an adventurer?
What kind?
A treasure hunter.
You've got it completely wrong!
The transfer student sure is working hard.
Do you think he's the type that'll become amazing in the future?
So he was able to collect that much garbage because he came out here, huh?
To come to such a cold place where no one usually would...
I'm surprised he still hasn't retreated yet.
Chapuu~
It's cold! Let's go back. Kana can do it by herself.
You can't! We finally know our enemy's motives! We'll fight here!
Hey, Touma! Look at me!
Be serious about this!
Do you need help?
Huh?
Oh.
Please, let me help you.
We've got to dig around it.
Like it's going to make a difference.
Eh?
Forget what I said.
We'll pull on three...
Okay.
One, two, three... Pull!
Thanks.
Oh, no problem.
Uh. What's wrong?
No. I just thought helping people out was one of your hobbies.
Hey, you! Lend me a hand!
The bike is stuck in the water and I can't get it out alone.
Are you serious?
Hey, you! Please!
Okay!
Does he not know how to refuse?
I knew it was going to be cold but...
It's starting to snow all of a sudden.
Please tell the participants that it's over.
My goodness. The weather forecast said it wouldn't snow until nightfall.
There's still people on the other side of the canal.
Someone should go out there and tell them to come back.
All right. I'll do it.
Where did Chiaki and the others go?
Hey Chiaki!
What's wrong?
Well, it's just that Kana...
Over here.
What do you think? It's great isn't it?
If we take this back, Fuyuki will have to admit defeat.
There's no way we can carry this back.
I tried telling her that, but...
It won't budge at all!
Don't despair! If you put your mind to it, you can do it!
It's impossible.
Even if we all tried to carry this, we wouldn't get very far.
I've got a good idea.
Oh? Like what?
We'll collect logs.
Logs? And then what?
We'll roll it back on top of the logs.
Would you please die?
Her jabs are even colder in cold weather.
It's already snowing, so let's go back already!
Yeah, let's go back.
No no no! Without this it won't be enough!
Kana-chan! Kana-chan! I get it! Let her go!
Is there something inside?
Oh. So that's why it's so heavy.
All right.
Let's open it up.
Huh? It's shut pretty tight.
I've heard a lot of stories about people finding a hundred million yen in garbage.
Really? So it might be vault, eh?
What if it's a corpse?
Hey! Don't say that! I'm the one opening it here.
If there really is a hundred million yen inside, then everyone is getting their share of ten thousand yen.
Look forward to it.
Amazing.
So a meal turned into a hundred million yen.
This has been quite a turn of events.
It moved a bit!
I wonder what I should buy.
Maybe I could buy a bunch of ten yen chocolates and make a huge chocolate broth. What do you think?
Well, if you take any chocolate and melt it isn't it all the same?
This is great. There was this skirt I wanted.
Huh? What the...?
By the way, isn't keeping something that belongs to someone else the same as committing a crime?
You did it!
A hundren million yen!
What's this?
Stones... right?
What's the meaning of this?
Probably a prank.
What kind?
The kind for idiots like you who try and open it thinking there's something good inside.
What a lame prank!
Damn you for tricking us!
Especially when it's so cold!
This is for letting down our expectations!
What are you guys doing?
I come looking for you guys and I find that you've ditched work.
On top of that, you're fooling around throwing stones.
Umm, well, this is...
Haruka-neesama! There's an explanation for this.
No dinner for you two!
Haruka!
Haruka-neesama!
Huh?
Oh? Ah.
I'll do it. Just leave it there.
Nah, it's fine.
Hey.
Hmm?
If you dislike it so much, why don't you try refusing for once?
Chiaki, hurry up!
I'm coming.
Huh?
What's wrong with you two? For you guys to wake up before me...
Food please!
Do you think nosebleeds are caused by thinking too hard?
That's a myth, idiot.
A large majority of nosebleeds are caused by damage to Kiesselbach's plexus.
It should stop soon, so don't worry.
If your nose doesn't stop bleeding, you'd better go the hospital!
