PLEASE STAY QUIET IN THE LIBRARY
With the field trip concluded,
we only have six months to live as high schoolers.
Your academic performance is steadily improving,
and we are on track to graduate with all five of you smiling.
So, during the summer holiday,
I've decided to take a vacation, so I won't be tutoring you.
Huh?
Well, it's a given.
You have to study for the entrance exam, too.
Uesugi, you should visit us sometimes.
Or would you prefer going to the beach together?
You'd see your schoolmates in swimsuits, you know?
Ichika!
Futaro...
Well, if I'm available...
Uesugi! Summer vacation is the ultimate challenge for exam takers!
Yeah...
Are you even doing okay on your end?
Even during summer vacation, I can still meet Fu at work.
No way I'm not making use of this advantage.
Also, there's something I want to give you.
What is this?
A return gift for birthday.
Oh!
Wow, an album.
I'm not rich,
so I can't get one for each of you...
So I asked Takeda and Maeda, and I made the album.
It's a memory album of you five.
We've really been through a lot.
Uesugi... you took these in secret, didn't you?
Geez, you didn't have to be sneaky like that, all you had to do was ask.
But all of these pictures really depict what we are.
Thanks, Futaro.
I miss you.
I've missed you.
Missing you!
We've finally met.
THE QUINTESSENTIAL QUINTUPLETS SPECIALS
CASUAL DISH UESUGI
A NOT-SO COINCIDENTAL SUMMER VACATION (PART 1)
I found this book under your bed this morning.
No, that's...
To think that you would have one of THESE books hidden in your library...
A GUIDEBOOK OF ROMANCE FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS
What a surprise!
N-No!
My friend just shoved it on to me!
I just happened to put it under my bed!
You don't have friends, do you?
Phone's ringing.
Yes, Uesugi residence.
Okay, I'll pass the call to him.
Sorry, but I'll be closing the store for some time.
Oh, is that so? Please get well soon.
I thought I could meet him during summer vacation...
It can't go on like this.
IF YOU CAN'T PUSH, THEN PULL
So this is the Coin Technique...
I see... This is deep.
Great are the lessons of our forefathers.
Thanks for waiting.
You're late, Nino.
By the way, about these bouquets...
Would these do for a hospital...
Huh? Come on, I was only late for a bit, wasn't I?
Not pretty understanding, are you?
You could've waited inside if it's hot outside.
The gears in your head must be clogged.
Both hands full of bouquets, you must be an idiot.
Huh? Hang on...
You reek sweat. How foul.
Huh?
What's gotten into you?
Will you stop being so absent-minded,
and go to Manager's room now?
Move your legs, Uesugi.
This isn't much, but please take it.
Thanks. I'm glad you're here too, Uesugi.
How long are you planning to stand there?
What did you bring those bouquets for?
Here, some flowers.
They're indeed flowers.
What, did you get in a fight with her?
No...
No need to hide it from me.
You're getting the wrong idea.
This girl...
If I can't push her, I'll just pull her instead!
Oh, I'm thirsty.
Uesugi, go buy a drink for me.
Did she read the same book as me?
Huh? When I said water, of course I mean not the cold one!
She's faithfully applying the trick by the book...
So she does have a cute side.
Sheesh, you can't even do something simple like this?
So useless.
What a useless bloke.
This is getting annoying.
Cut it out...
Don't touch me...
I'll go buy it myself.
Uesugi.
Do you really not have a clue?
Maybe you did something to her that you weren't aware of...
Or maybe you didn't do anything?
I knew it.
I'll say it outright.
She's mad at you.
Thinking that Nino's trying to draw my interest in her...
How could I have been so presumptuous?
This is too embarrassing!
Uesugi.
Listen closely with your ears.
You should be able to hear it.
The screaming within her heart.
I went overboard!
I told him to not touch me!
But I'll surely snap back to myself whenever he touches me!
What do I do? Did he hate me for this?
I mean, he's the one at fault for not looking at me.
Still, it's hard even if it's just an act.
Even before I started liking him, I never said such a horrible thing to him.
No, I didn't.
This is tough...
Nino.
Oh?
Papa?
Seems like you girls are finally going back home.
I was contacted by Ichika.
CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT
I meant to buy that room for you girls in the first place.
Just use it however you like, don't worry about me.
We don't really...
Oh, sorry. I have to go now.
You still mad?
Fu...
What, Uesugi?
I'll be going home now.
I'll give this to you before that.
Trying to bribe me with flowers?
Those aren't for you.
They're for your mom.
Her death anniversary will be next month, right?
Since I won't be tutoring you,
I thought I'd give them to you, even though it's a bit early.
See you.
Wait!
Don't you disappear from my sight, Fu.
Huh?
Mom...
And everyone else...
Will surely go their own separate ways someday.
But still...
Will you always be by my side, Fu?
Nino, you...
Didn't you start to hate me?
Ah, geez! What a pain!
It's all for nothing! If I can't push you, then I'll just pull you!
You're just too difficult to deal with!
What the heck...
Well, my bad.
I knew it...
You're scaring me...
Huh?
You're scared?
Huh, you're so easy to read.
No, I get it already.
Good grief...
I might be the one who's easy to read here.
I really have to chase him myself.
Uesugi...
You're just too much of an airhead!
It's the beach!
I'll go take a rest, then.
No, you won't! You gotta dip in the water when you're at the beach!
I heard it from Itsuki...
Everyone will be coming to the beach today!
Accidental encounters are always nice.
RAIHA IS GETTING A BIT MORE MATURE NOW THAT SHE'S IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
Oh, you guys are here too?
Oh, if it isn't you, Uesugi.
Long time no see. You enjoying summer?
This is wrong.
Huh?
No way... You two came here alone?
Not just us.
The guys from the class are also here.
I thought I'd sent you a message.
Oh, I forgot I hadn't looked at my phone these days.
Whaaaat?
This is strange... Why can't we meet them?
I wish we could go to the beach.
Got no choice, do we?
We've all agreed to help with the moving out today.
Will Futaro be going to the beach?
That's not in his character, right?
He might actually be going there with Raiha.
Futaro's surprisingly good at taking care of his sister...
This is...
Kiku drew that one.
That takes me back.
Yeah.
It was last year, wasn't it?
Since the director at the office had to go out of town all of a sudden,
we had to take care of his daughter, right?
Kiku's all calm now. Good girl.
That man...
So he was married?
That doesn't matter.
I'll make sure you guys avoid red marks for your final exams.
Those three were skipping sessions and heading out somewhere...
At least you guys have to study...
Hey, you.
You play with me now.
Huh?
Kiku, play with me!
Stop treating me like a child!
Dolls are so out of date.
The current trend is playing house!
What a child...
You be my papa.
Then I'll be your mama.
We don't have mama.
Mama moved out with her lover.
That's pretty realistic...
Slide...
Oh, so this is Papa's office?
You two are the employees!
What?
Employees?
Yeah, you two have a crush on Papa.
Huh?
What's with that setting?
Kiku, these two are...
Pres, when are you going to take me out for dinner?
Let's go tonight.
Miku's really getting honest now.
But, I won't lose with my acting!
Kiku, don't you want a new mama?
Oh, that's cheating!
I'll be her mama.
Can you play the role?
Then, you two...
Tell me what you like from Papa.
Wha...
What we like?
Um... I wonder... I don't really get it, but...
He has a manly side despite being like that...
He's smart, and reliable.
He's also tall and cool.
Papa's not that tall, though.
Oh, right. You're talking about the director, right?
Kiku, which one do you prefer?
I don't need mama.
Huh?
But why?
It doesn't feel lonely.
Because of Mama, Papa was in a lot of trouble.
I won't feel lonely with Papa.
Don't force yourself.
What are you doing?! Stop it!
A girl your age...
...can't not get lonely by not having a mother.
Stop pretending you're a boring adult,
and be a selfish kid like you are.
It's this side of him.
He might not even be aware of it himself,
but the warmth of him attending to others' feelings...
He has that.
By that warm heart...
...mine has been thawed.
Futaro.
Let's date each other.
Date? What are you talking about?
Err...
We're not going out.
We're getting married.
Huh?!
Marry...
Whaaat?!
That's so sudden...
What do I do?
All right.
You've got a mama, Kiku. Good for you, eh?
Though we're just playing house now.
Huh?
I'm back! Oh?
A cute girl spotted!
What are you doing in our house?
What are you doing?
We're playing house. I was just about to get married to Miku.
What are you really doing?
Sounds nice! Let me in!
What role's still available!
Our pet dog!
Woof, woof!
You two are the grandmas!
Oh, you're counting us in too?
So, what's the role, again?
G-G...
I can't hear you.
Close call...
Dodged a bullet there...
It was a missed bullet this time,
but I'm serious.
I guess you are.
But, I wonder...
I want him for myself so bad,
- but us six being together like this... - Hope we get along, Granny.
- but us six being together like this... - I don't want a kid like you.
- ...isn't half bad. - I don't want a kid like you.
I hope she's doing well now.
Her papa was spoiling him at the shooting location the other day.
I'd love to show it to Futaro.
Then let's do it.
Huh?
The number you have dialled is not in service...
...or the battery might have run out.
Can't reach him.
I miss him...
He must be so lonely right now.
Right!
Left!
Which one?!
She's the class president's sister! So cute!
Want yakisoba?
Want!
Are the quintuplets doing well?
Why are you asking me?
It still hurts, Uesugi.
I already said sorry so many times.
Still gonna weep? And you call yourself a man?
Well, we laughed a lot, so it was fun.
Good thing you seemed to have fun too.
Huh?
Did I?
That's what it looked to me, though. Am I wrong?
We'll be playing with fireworks now. Are you coming?
No, I'm going straight home.
Raiha's pretty beat, too.
Send them my regards.
That's surprising.
For you to try to get along with our classmates.
Really? I've been like this since before, right?
No way.
It's a surprising change since you started high school.
What, or rather...
Who made you like this, it should be obvious.
Coming to the beach after some years,
and playing with you guys and our classmates was fun.
While that's also the truth,
I still feel like something's missing.
I get it.
Damn.
If those girls were here...
It would've been more fun.
RAIHA
Oh, so you were moving out?
RAIHA So that's why you didn't come to the beach.
Yes. I didn't think you and the others would come as well.
Sorry for not informing you at all.
That was close... We were just about to run into him.
If we were with Uesugi now, nobody could tell what would happen!
All I can do is protect this peace!
RAIHA
Huh? You want to speak?
Sure thing.
Uh, hello? It's me.
Uesugi?!
Erm... I have a... proposal to you guys.
I-If you hate it...
You can just say no.
Want to go... to the pool?
You're the one inviting us?!
THE QUINTUPLETS ARE GETTING ALONG!
The Quintuplets Are Getting Along!
This app is something else!
Our faces are really getting swapped!
I want to do it next!
This pair is so lit!
So much's wrong with this...
Oh, cut it out!
Oh?
The faces can't get detected at all...
Hey, don't just swap our faces out of the blue!
My stomach hurts!
