In it, he grimaces and blushes, holding up both arms as if to either hide his face or fend off blows.] MAIN TITLE (at top) A Chase at the Pool! Professor Kurumi's caption: Now, here's the question! What on earth does oniichan's facial expression signify? (1) He's being scolded for peeping into the ladies dressing room. (2) He's suffering from a headache. (3) He's crying from looking into the blinding sun. Well, which is it?! (The answer is... Read on and you'll find out.) --------------------------------------------------- p 242 (94) 1 [Exterior shot of the Kasuga apartment building. It is a clear and sunny day.] cicada FX: 2 [Kurumi sits, resting her cheeks in her hands. Kyousuke sits nearby, hands clasped behind his head and staring at the ceiling.] Kurumi: This is kinda sudden, but now that I think about it, we haven't gone on a family vacation in several years... Not even once, have we. Kyousuke: Come to think of it, you're right... 3 [View pulls back slightly to show the two seated at the dining room table. Kurumi throws up her arms in exasperation.] Kurumi: ALL of my friends are heading off on trips somewhere, and I... Ahhh, how boring... 4 [Angrily, she confronts Kyousuke. He points a finger back at her. View shifts slighty to show that Manami is seated there as well.] Kurumi: But you're having quite a bit of fun, going to Okinawa and ojiichan's place. Kyousuke: And you guys just left me behind and went to Hawaii on New Year's. 5 [All three Kasuga sibs turn and stare back at us. Yes, this is evidently Takashi's pov.] Kurumi: But... The source of the problem is... Kyousuke and Manami: .......... 6 [Takashi forces a nervous smile while trying to read the newspaper. Kurumi and Kyousuke glare at him.] Takashi: Well, our family has been moving so often, haven't we. And with all those times we've come to live all over the country... So you could say the moves in themselves are long-term vacations. --------------------------------------------------- p 243 (95) 1 Kurumi: [studying him carefully] Dad, are you working today? Takashi: ...... No. 2 Kurumi: Hmm... Kyousuke, Manami and Kurumi FX: 3 Takashi: All right, I get it. Let's go somewhere. Manami and Kurumi: Hooray!! 4 [A view of the crowded beach.] narration: And yet, everywhere's packed with people! 5 [So crowded in fact, that even here, on a rocky outcropping that juts out into the sea, lie wall-to-wall bodies...] crowd FX: person in crowd: Hara-kun is... narration: Heading off now to a holiday resort would be the height of folly! 6 [Exterior shot of a modern, high-rise hotel.] narration: Then... --------------------------------------------------- p 244 (96) 1 [A view looking down at the hotel's pool.] 2 [At a table on a large deck above the pool sit the Kasuga family plus one. They sit with their drinks.] Kyousuke: I see. A vacation at a city hotel, hmm... 3 Takashi: It's great to read at one's leisure in an air-conditioned room, or have a beer and nap. 4 Manami: [smiling] And that was your aim all along, wasn't it, Dad? Takashi: 5 Akane: Thank you very much for inviting me, too. --------------------------------------------------- p 245 (97) 1 Kyousuke: [looking bored] (Hmm. If Ayukawa and Hikaru-chan were here now... It would be awesome...) 2 [A view of two of the cute girls enjoying themselves near the pool.] Hikaru: [off] They came here, thinking that it wouldn't be crowded for sure. 3 [Madoka and Hikaru stand together looking over things at pool level.] Hikaru: This place's pretty crowded, too, isn't it? 4 [Looking up at the higher deck, Hikaru sees...] Hikaru: Huh? 5 Hikaru: The guy on that terrace--isn't that Sempai?

Minors shouldn't drink alcohol!! Kyousuke: [wincing] That's a fine way to talk after drinking so many of them. 6 Kurumi: [pointing] Say, isn't that Hikaru-chan by the pool? 7 Kyousuke: Ehh?! Manami: Hey, it's true! Akane: Oh! --------------------------------------------------- p 247 (99) 1 [With a wide smile, Akane whacks Kyousuke on the back, sending him flying.] Akane: You stud, you!
