Rentarou's Family's Hiking Date (
Summary[]
Rentarou's Family is on a hike, approaching the summit of a mountain stated to have an amazing view at the top. Mei states the weather is beautiful, but Nano advises that the weather is fickle and shouldn't be underestimated. Without warning, a massive gust of wind hits the entire group; Meme worries about her front bangs but Nano uses her hair to block her eyes; while Shizuka begins to blow away as Karane and Hakari hold on to try and keep her down! The river begins flooding as Mei decides to protect Hahari with her life; Hahari and Mimimi rush to save her as Rentarou warns them to hold on to a tree as the river overwhelms all of them.
As the weather clears, Chiyo finds herself with Kusuri, Kusuri telling them they have to continue to head to the summit to meet with the others. Chiyo reasons it's a good notion to not continue blindly without knowing their path but yells at the upperclassman to not run through the area; Kusuri tells her to not act like a class president but Chiyo tells her that this is the perfect time to do so with their circumstances as a branch falls towards her, Kusuri diving to protect her and becoming knocked out! Realizing what she did for her, Chiyo carries the unconscious Kusuri down the trail.
Iku ends up with her classmate Yamame but is having a hard time pulling the larger girl up as Yamame tells her she'll be fine. Iku instead decides to head on her own to the summit and come back for her as the large girl sits worried with the quiet, even having been separated from her butterflies.
By a river, Yaku is crossing by hopping stones as Naddy is impressed by her movement. Yaku notices Naddy as tired and offers a break, but Naddy yells that she's as energetic as ever and they need to keep moving before acting more modest. Yaku tells her to let her know if she becomes tired as Naddy considers it with a worried look.
Elsewhere, Kurumi and Momiji continue to head to the summit but can't find their way. Momiji decides to boost her encouragement by fondling a springy rice flour steam bun she brought with; she tries but gives it back since she is hungry from holding it. Momiji offers her to grope it with her but she can't bare doing so as her hunger worsens shoving it back as Momiji worries that her hand motion will crush the bun's texture; the duo becoming at odds with one another ultimately.
Chiyo soon imagines herself as she's being carried by her mother telling her to "take it easy"; but as she comes to, she discovers she's on 18-year old Kusuri's back being carried! Chiyo wondered what happened as Kusuri states she collapsed carrying her 8-year old form, telling her she was irresponsible carrying her while also saying running was dangerous earlier. Kusuri still thanks her as Chiyo falls asleep.
Yamame enters despair as she continues to wait alone with no one around in the same manner as her past hoping for the others to hurry and find her. However, she soon hears Iku, approaching with her butterflies, as well as a tree branch to help her climb up; Yamame asks why she did this as Iku states she wanted to make sure Yamame saw the summit with her as she helps her up.
Back with Yaku and Naddy, the old woman tells the pseudo-American to watch out for the tree branches and not trip while still worried about her exhaustion, but Naddy states she's fine and they have to meet up with the others. But Yaku clarifies stating she doesn't need to understand her, just for Naddy to remain her happy, cheerful self which she obliges returning to her typical lively self.
Kurumi and Momiji silently continue to find their way through the forest but Kurumi remains hungry and irked by what she pulled. But without warning, Momiji stuffs her bun into Kurumi's mouth, stating that if she was in the mood to grope, it wouldn't be fun to suck on it instead before apologizings. Kurumi claims she should be the apologizer, and offers Momiji to grope her belly, though the masseuse aims for her chest instead.
The duo arrive at the summit as everyone else meets up there; Meme having stayed with Hakari, Karane, Shizuka and Nano. When asking about Rentarou, Hahari, Mei and Mimimi, Rentarou appears having bridal-carried the three girls; Hahari immediately feels insulted but the trio soon kiss him as a reward. Yet despite everything, the summit remained cloudy and thus ruined the view. Hakari suggests they do the opposite ala the tale "The North Wind and the Sun": if the ideal weather for making out is dark and cloudy, then by making out with that in mind, it will become sunny and clear; Yaku adding it's just a good excuse for making out regardless.
Eventually the clouds clear and the sun emerges...but the girls are so obsessed in making out with Rentarou that they don't even notice.
