Hey, what's shaking, Mizuho?
You're at work, yeah?
Just, Airu.
I should have known.
What do you mean "just" me?
Who else were you expecting?
I'm in Hong Kong now

Huh?
I'll be landing

Hoping you can pick me up
from the airport.

NISHINO
Huh, what do you mean
she already left for school?
My little girl
got an early start today.
I didn't catch a word of that.
Looks like we just missed her.
She left early.
Mizuho, I see.
She's been acting kinda sus
ever since the camping trip.
I wonder if something happened.
Almost forgot.
We were hoping
to give Togo a parting gift
in a couple of days.
That said, can one of you
help her pick something out?

Thank you for being
our student teacher!

I don't know how we'll survive.

Good luck with everything!
This is legit depressing.
Please come back once you're
a full-fledged teacher!

I won't forget you.

Take a picture with me!

What's a lucky guy like that

Perhaps a schmancy tie?
Maybe.
From Minami Station?
Let's get him
20 green bell peppers.
That's way too random, dude.
No worries,
I'll help her pick out
something great tomorrow.
-Nope, I'll be going.

It makes perfect sense.
We'll go after school tomorrow.

late for swim club,

What's wrong?
You've got the energy
of a dead fish today.
Huh?
Am I missing something here,
or shouldn't students be
hanging with their friends
after school?

I could ask the same of you,

Shouldn't someone like you

Well, I just wanted
one last swim.

Thanks for waiting.

Enjoy and come back soon!

[SEINA] You're in

Why didn't you tell me
you were staying

over not being able

for so long.

I was like you back in the day.

It was a total nightmare.

I wound up graduating
without confessing.

Made ya look, bro!
You were clearly distracted
the whole time
you were practicing,
like some kinda
little lost puppy.
Ah, that's not true.
My guy, let me fill you
in on something
you probably never noticed.
Out of all of us,
Shin has literally always
been the most popular
among the ladies.
It doesn't seem to matter
that he's cold as ice,
'cuz somehow that egghead
is still fluent
in the language of romance.
So just imagine what that
genius could accomplish
if he ever really
put his mind to it.
[gasps]
[SYUGO] Maybe he's not even
looking for a present
and he's putting the moves
on Mizuho instead!

snatched away?

So, about Shin.
There are still some things you
don't know about him, Kizuki.
What
how could there be more?
Our friend operates
on a whole other level.
Huh?
On the marriage front.
[crying]
By that, I mean
he's the type to skip dating
and go straight
to tying the knot.
So, be warned!
Before she even knows
what's happened,
she could have
a ring on that finger.
What can I do to stop
that mad man, Syugo?
