Yeah!
Tanaka thinks that my surprise was a greeting or something.
Then, Yoshida, the girl driving that was super beautiful, who is she?
Let’s see.
She’s an acquaintance, well, pretty much a relative
I’ll try to gloss it over for now.
Yours?
Tanaka looks at me doubtfully.
Yeah Liar, you’re not
I’m awful at lying.
Err She must be Yamamine-chan’s relative, right? She doesn’t have a hint of being your relative but, if it’s Yamamine-chan, they’ve got beauties
Tanaka nods at himself.
No, that’s fine, let’s have it like that. You’re actually right I knew it
Tanaka laughs.
I see. He knows that Megu and I are engaged. He has faith that my relationship with Shou-oneesan isn’t anything shady. Well fine, she’s an impressive beauty, but it’s a waste of time to talk about people who have gone by
I think so too.
Shou-oneesan’s going to pick up Misuzu and Michi, she won’t be coming back to the high school anytime soon. Tanaka won’t meet her again probably. Then, Yoshida, who’s this girl?
Who?
Tanaka points at Edie who’s climbing on the gate. Edie, don’t climb there!
I shout, but Edie stands on the gate, smiling.
I told you to stop! Get down!
This time, she does a handstand.
Err, Tanaka, are you good at English? Well, so-so
Tanaka looks at the blonde haired brown skinned, and blueyed girl.
Wait, that girl only talks in English? I guarantee that. She’s American. She’s from New Orleans Wow
Then, Tanaka suddenly points at Edie.
Hey, You!!!
He speaks in an intimidating tone.
Hey, Down!!Down!!!
His fingers repeatedly appeal to get off there.
Then Edie obediently came down. Wow English is about screaming. You can arrange the words properly then it’ll go through
Oh, he’s a capable
What’s her name Edie
I answered. Tanaka looks at Edie.
Hallo
MISS
Edie．My Name Is
TANAKA
.i am a boy!!!
Ai amu a boi?
YES
.Sure.
Edie nods.
I am a Girl!!! That’s right!!!
The two nod at each other.
What the hell is that? Then, Yoshida, what’s her business?
Tanaka asks me.
Err. She’s a transfer student, oh wait, an exchange student? Anyway, she’ll be enrolling to our school
That’s not a lie.
We’ve talked about it already. Hmm, and so, why did you bring Edie-san?
that’s
Oh, what’s this? Isn’t this your work’s uniform?
Tanaka sees the logo at the back of Edie’s boiler suit and said.
Oh right, when we met at the train before; I was wearing the boiler suit with Nagisa’s shop name on it. Edie’s wearing the same thing now. If I recall, it’s a flower shop? Yeah. That’s right, this girl is supposed to homestay in the flower shop
It’s a forced reason, but I have to push through with this.
Then, they told me to show her the school Hmm
Tanaka looks at me showing a face of doubt.
It’s true. There’s a lot of people on vacation so she wondered if she can look around
Edie laughs as she looks at the confused me.
Well okay, let’s go then, Yoshida
Tanaka said.
Where? You’re going to show her the school right? You’re coming too? Obviously, Yoshida’s English won’t do
No, your English either.
Didn’t you just say ai amu a boi? We’re going
I guess.
He’s got the qualities of a leader, and also a nice guy. Speaking of which, why did you come to school, Tanaka? If you have a business, then let’s do that first No, it’s done now, I’m just about to leave
Tanaka smiles.
We only have a meeting for our club activity today Oh, I see
Edie is following behind us.
She looks around the school interestingly. Then, where are you going Yoshida? Huh? Oh, on the track and field club
I answered.
Oh right. Yamamine-chan’s there, she seems that she’ll be able to speak in English
Tanaka consents arbitrarily
Funfunfun! Funfunfun!
Ah, Edie’s excited about something again.
When I turned around. Vending machine? Are you curious about this?
She’s squatting in front of the vending machine.
Then, she looks at me with puppy-dog-eyes. I get it. Buy something
I take out a coin from my pocket.
What’s up? She seems to be curious about vending machines. There’s not much of it in America Oh
Edie throws in the coin I gave her.
Then. Welcome! Please pick which would you like to buy!
The vending machine talked.
Ushaa!
Edie jumped away from the vending machine like a cat.
Edie, don’t be scared, it’s okay!
I shout but, Edie’s frightened by the vending machine.
Tanaka, what should I say at times like this? There’s no way I would know, Yoshida
you’re so unreliable, really.
Don’t worry!!!
A bright voice is raised on us.
Ufufufu, you seem to need my help! Yo-chan!
Nei comes in.
Yoshida, who’s this senior?
Huh?
No, you know him too Tanaka
Nei broke into our class.
No, I don’t know such a beauty
Meanwhile, Nei talks to Edie in fluent English.
Edie calms down and walks towards the talking vending machine. No you do, that’s Natou Senpai
Hearing my response, Tanaka;
no way?
Nei turns to us smiling.
Yes way, it’s me. ME. Natou Nei-chan
Tanaka.
But, the hair
Oh, right.
Tanaka didn’t know that Nei stopped coloring her hair blonde. If you say Natou-senpai then it’s the blonde who’s always skipping classes on the roof!
Nei before has the image of a delinquent girl.
Ah, my hair? Yo-chan said that he prefers black than blonde, so I changed it! Right, Yo-chan?
Nei happily smiles.
Yo-chan fixed me! I’m grateful! Hehehe!
Nei, you laugh too much.
How about that, convinced
Nei smiled, Tanaka;
No, it’s just that, you’ve become even more beautiful Shut up! I’m always beautiful!
Nei gets angry.
No, no, Nee-san, black hair really suits you, so your beauty has tripled!
I follow up with all my best.
Actually, the blonde hair suits her too. Or should I say that it suits her too much that the dreadfulness of being a delinquent overflow. It’s beautiful, but it has a cold and scary impression. But when she returned it to black; The warm, gentle and bright heart of Nei shows up directly Thanks! Yo-chan!
Nei’s smiling face returned when I said that.
Then, let’s go!
Nei calls Edie.
Edie takes a drink from the canned juice she bought then frowned. What’s that? Let’s see, it seems that the drink was sourer than she thought
Nei explains.
Ugh, that’s!
Tanaka looks at the can Edie’s holding then makes a fuss.
Do you know that Tanaka? To think that Shiitake Yogurt Drink exists!
Shiitake Yogurt?
You see, that vending machine has a ? button, it’s a button where you don’t know what will come out. It has unsold cheap canned juice or anything random, but, I never thought that I’d see the real Shiitake Yogurt Drink Edie, let me have it for a second!
Nei takes a drink.
How’s it, Nee-san? Hmm, it tastes like
WEILI
1
Nei looks at me with a sour face.
Nee-san, what’s a WEILI? The only thing more delicious than Weili is Weili itself!
Nei, that’s not an answer.
Well, anyway, try drinking it Yo-chan
She hands me the can.
I drink from it. Right, this is very unappetizing. Then, let me take a drink too
