Your total comes to 600 yen.

Here's 400 yen in change.

Thanks for visiting!

Howdy-do!

Somebody's hyper!

Uh-oh.

When Sharo's like that, it can only mean...

She couldn't stand the embarrassment of being outed as poor,

so I suggested we café hop to drown her woes.

Suggest something better, will you?

This is our third one.

I've tasted a buncha kinds now,

But just look at that vibrant smile!

but the coffee here is still the best!

The kind of smile only caffeine can bring.

Really? I'm so glad to hear that!

I'm gonna cuddle you, Sharo-chan!

I'm so glad Sharo-san's learned to like coffee.

I don't think that's quite it.

Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's man!

She was worried enough to turn to drink?

Bake me a cake as fast as you can!

And yet she knows full well that the rest of us don't mind.

Yeah.

In fact, I could learn a thing or two from her about acting ladylike.

Maybe then I'd fit in better at school.

Would you care to watch, Father dearest?

Shooting is a fine sport for a lady.

You wear yourself out, milady.

Please rest and have some coffee.

My, you are too kind.

Bullseye!

I blasted them all to kingdom come!

The birth of a reaver of war!

Oh, I like that phrase!

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

but it's a secret.

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret.

Make your first impression count. I'm not patient!

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret, I say.

With a teasing smile, I hop-hop.

I opened the door to find an unfamiliar world before me.

Don't be silly.

That's impossible!

But it just might be.

A milk-colored world!

When I gazed into my coffee cup,

there I was, looking back at myself.

Why's that?

Why's that?

There's two of me!

No way!

Oh dear, that won't do.

I'm sure

our interests would match,

you see.

Who is it

that I'm looking at? You of course!

You're the only one in my eyes.

This is a dream,

a dream in a cup.

When we drink it dry, will it end?

We can hop-hop all we want.

Let's look for adventure

and let loose a bit more.

With a hop-hop!

It's so wonderful when we're together!

I want to hear you say it.

Just say it!

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

With a hop-hop!

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

Oh so much, much, much!

but it's a secret.

Hop Drenched in the Pool Drenched in the Rain Drenched in Tears

Today, we're going to a hot springs pool to unwind from work.

It's like a castle!

This place is a renovated historical building, and it shows.

I've never been to a hot spring in a swimsuit before!

We can swim and wash at the same time.

Two birds with one stone!

I should have brought a flotation ring.

Well, I brought these.

Here.

Flippers?!

No, thank you.

Hum-dee dum-dee dum-dee...

Cocoa-chan, that looks lovely on you!

Thanks!

To be honest, this is my first time wearing a bikini.

And your swimsuit is so cute, Chino-chan!

Isn't it?

Why are you so proud of that?

Chiya-san, that's a wonderfully fresh look for you.

I'd normally wear a more subdued color,

but I thought I'd be a bit adventurous for a day at the pool with youngsters.

How old are you supposed to be, Chiya-san?

Where's Rize-chan?

Wh-What?

Now that's a recipe that lets the ingredients speak for themselves!

Huh?

Chiya lent me her old swimsuit.

It's a bit loose,

but if I tie the strings extra tight...

it should work!

Sharo-chan!

Your strings are digging into your skin.

You're telling me!

Sharo-chan, that swimsuit looks splendid on you!

Right! You totally look great!

But the strings...

Um, Rize-san...

Could you do my hair too, please?

Sure thing.

How's that?

It's wonderful!

Thank you so much!

Chino-chan! That's so cute!

That's amazing, Senpai!

You have deft hands, Rize-chan.

I-It's just because my own hair is long,

so I've had practice doing it up.

Say, would you be so kind as to do mine as well?

S-Sure.

If only I had long hair, I could have nonchalantly asked Senpai to do mine too.

Look at those expert fingers!

How graceful.

I-I'm just doing it normally.

I've never seen anyone this good!

To think that someone with such skill...

Seriously, I'm just a perfectly normal...

You've really outdone yourself!

Th-That might be too much...

Huh? She's happy with it?

This feels nice.

I remember getting scolded for swimming in the bath house when I was young.

This isn't your usual public bath, of course.

Do you still go to bath houses often, Sharo-chan?

Sometimes. Just sometimes.

None this big, though.

Is she talking about how she uses our bath?

It's lukewarm.

You can't call this a bath!

You're quite the traditionalist, Chiya-san.

Hey, fuzzball.

You can manage a bath at this temperature, can't you?

I saw a tub over there that was perfectly Tippy-sized.

Now, don't look so reluctant.

What, not a fan of hot springs?

Will you turn into a normal rabbit if you get wet?

This bath is supposed to be good for high blood pressure and joint pain.

Would it also happen to help your body mature faster?

There aren't many people around today.

Pity. I was hoping to face some of the experts who frequent this place.

Then would you like to play me?

Gladly, Chino!

She's playing two roles at once!

That's some advanced technique.

Why don't we swim for a bit?

I'm not that much of a swimmer, I'm afraid.

I've never swum in a deep pool before.

No way!

Then I'll teach you!

Looky here!

This is a crawl!

You might be better off re-learning how to swim.

Okay, it's time to start Rize-chan's swim training!

Hang on.

If we're swimming, it might be best to do some basic stretches first.

Can't forget the importance of warming up.

So flexible!

Sharo-chan!

We gotta express the beauty of the human form too!

What are you doing?

Good game.

Thank you.

Chino-chan!

May I challenge you to a game?

I've never played chess before, but it's like shogi, right?

Certainly. Challenge accepted.

Why don't we place a little wager to make it more interesting?

How about if I win, we find out what happens to Tippy when she gets soaked?

Very well.

Then if I win, Cocoa-san will have to call me "Onee-san".

Why am I getting dragged into this?!

Let's begin!

First, we'll have a breath-holding contest!

What happened to training?

Ready, go!

Are you okay?

I win!

Don't hold your breath in that position!

Time for round two!

We're still doing this?

Hm?

Is she miming a rabbit?

Right?

No, a gun?

I haven't a clue.

A narcissist?

There you have it!

The answer to all of them was Rize-chan!

I'm nothing like that at all!

I have you cornered.

Not so fast.

If Chiya-chan loses, there goes my status as a big sister!

The two of us are alone!

L-Let's start by practicing with a kickboard.

I'd rather not use a kickboard.

I wanna do the thing where you hold my hands and lead me!

Rize-senpai has a surprisingly childlike side.

I thought you were good at all types of sports.

I never had the chance to learn to swim.

We didn't do it in class.

Being taught by someone younger is kinda embarrassing.

And having me lead you by the hands isn't?

I'm gonna get good enough to save you if you ever start drowning!

I-I wouldn't put you in a situation like—

A simulation exercise already?

I was so nervous my leg cramped up!

Chiya-chan, you can do it!

Put her in chest!

Do you mean to say checkmate?

If you lose this game, I'll lose my dignity!

Be quiet, Tippy.

Okay.

How laughable that a common foot soldier should challenge a queen!

Return once you've been reborn to noble blood!

Cocoa-chan, could you stop acting out the parts of the pieces?

Chino, there's your chance!

Chiya-chan, above you! Behind you!

Go! Get her!

I can't concentrate...

That's amazing, Senpai!

It's all thanks to your training.

You're a fast learner.

I barely had to do anything.

I never knew swimming could be so much fun!

Thanks, Sharo!

Next...

let's use these to explore the deep end!

Not even I know how to use those, Senpai!

What's this?

It's so soft!

It looks yummy!

What's it doing in the bath?

Is it the owners' pet?

Look, it's stretchy!

Sure is!

Chino!

Save me!

The town looks so pretty at night!

It feels nice out here!

The evening breeze is quite pleasant.

I can almost imagine

that I can faintly hear the voices coming from each and every point of light.

That's a wonderful thought.

That family's having the youngest sister's homemade curry for dinner.

Wish I was there.

And the couple living in that house...

is at each other's throats.

There goes the mood.

We're back!

Let's drink up.

To delicious coffee milk! Cheers!

To delicious fruit milk! Cheers!

Onee-chan,

you have to drink your coffee milk like this!

So Chino won.

We've got to see if they did the rabbit barista using CG or not.

Yeah...

Not to mention the scene with the coffee beans!

It'll be fascinating to see how they handle it on screen.

You sound excited, Chiya-chan.

Of course! We're seeing a movie together!

I'll need to thank the customer who gave us the tickets!

Um, if you'd like,

Special Admission - Regular The Barista Who Became a Rabbit

I was given these, but I don't need them all.

You look sleepy, Cocoa-chan.

Last night I thought I'd show Chino-chan the fruits of my training,

so she quizzed me on coffee blends...

From the left, Mocha, Blue Mountain, and instant.

They were all Kilimanjaro.

So you drank too much and couldn't sleep.

I've been awake this whole time.

Don't tell me you didn't sleep at all?!

You didn't forget we were seeing a movie, did you?

If I have some coffee, I'll probably last till evening.

By the way, we're meeting at the theater, right?

Right.

She looks sleepy.

Was she so excited for the movie that she couldn't sleep?

I'm the same before field trips and the like.

The daily grind finally caught up with me.

Once you're finished,

Yesterday was even busier than usual.

could you pick up some more supplies?

Okay!

Senpai looks bored!

Is it that tedious being with me?

By the way...

we're meeting at the theater, right?

Huh?

Man, so sleepy.

I shouldn't have stayed up late with Cocoa.

Stop narrating for me like that.

Y'know, your face always looks kinda sleepy.

Not always.

I use a different face with customers.

So her eyes become alert when she's on the job!

Does having Tippy on her head wake her up?

I see!

Please keep cleaning.

Then let's think of something else to put on her head to wake Chino up!

Mop Chicken Cotton

Let me think...

For the last time, please keep cleaning.

Rain...

Rain?

Maybe we should reschedule.

Nah, it's not every day all five of us don't have work.

Cocoa-chan?

Come on, Chiya-chan!

It feels nice to run through a drizzle!

Cocoa-chan!

Which of us do you think will make it there first?

I hope Chino-chan and the others are okay...

I'm so sorry!

You were having so much fun I didn't want to say,

but I actually have an umbrella!

Looks like it's raining.

And I didn't bring an umbrella.

Just our luck.

Should we wait till it stops or call for a ride?

Come to think of it, I heard that soldiers don't use umbrellas since they get in the way.

Is that true?

I can't aim one-handed!

Good point. It's very restricting when you can't use both hands.

Let's run!

Senpai?!

Me and my big mouth!

Sorry I'm late.

Chino-chan!

Did you make it here all right?

Who could have expected it would rain?

Everyone's soaked!

On the upside, I think that woke me up.

It certainly cleared away my drowsiness.

I've forgotten about my sleepiness too!

Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake now.

Actually, I've been feeling sleepy too.

That's news to me!

Look, girls!

The sun's peeking through the clouds!

It's beautiful.

If this were a movie, this'd be where the end credits start rolling.

That'd be a bit abrupt.

Rays of light like that are called "angel's ladders".

That's wonderful.

Really?

I always heard they were the sun's nose dripping.

There goes the mood.

Hold on.

You might want this.

We didn't use it during gym.

Always prepared, Rize-chan!

Let me dry your hair.

It's fine.

I'm really not that wet.

Come on, dry your hair thoroughly

That's right, you had an umbrella.

I met up with Tippy, who brought me one.

or you'll end up with a birds nest.

That's one handy rabbit!

Who are you, my mother?

Anyway, let's head in.

I'm gonna buy some popcorn!

Anyone want drinks?

People always treat me like a child.

'Scuse me! One popcorn and a cola, please!

Tell me about it.

Her hair is quite unruly, though.

Why did you have to roast them until they were ruined?

Only five minutes in, and I'm already tearing up.

I can't let Chino-chan see her big sister crying right next to her!

I can't let Cocoa-san see that I'm crying.

I just know she'll tease me for it.

Chino-chan?

She's right.

We should just be true to our feelings.

I've never been to a movie theater before.

The screen is huge!

Probably bigger than our TV.

Your eyes are like moonlight on a lake's shore.

I can probably use that for our menu.

Qu-Quiet down, stomach...

I should have bitten the bullet and bought some concessions!

You're one devilish queen of the night.

Rabbit House...

I've finally returned.

When I greet the old owner, I must stand proud and look him in the eye.

Here is your order.

One spaghetti alle vongole.

Welcome.

I made eye contact with a man other than the old owner!

That was so good!

It was!

You slept through the second half?!

It was so good, but now you can't discuss it with the rest of us!

B-But I read the novel, at least...

I barely remember what happened.

Anyway, the main character, the old man who turned into a rabbit, was so cool!

The Barista Who Became a Rabbit

I was struck by the passion of the rival, the old lady who made Japanese sweets.

Something about that part seemed familiar.

It was a pretty frivolous rivalry, though.

The old man was great and all,

but his son, the bartender who saved the café with jazz,

was even cooler if you ask me!

Wha...?!

He reminded me of my father!

Tippy's showing a storm of emotions today!

Maybe she enjoyed the movie the most.

I'm going to the bathroom.

We'll be right here.

Once Rize-chan gets back...

Chino-chan?

Are you sleepy?

Oh, I'm fine.

Come on!

I can give you a piggyback ride home!

I'm not a little kid.

It's fine! I don't mind!

But I do.

Aww...

"Aww" nothing.

You just want an excuse to carry me.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Aren't you sleepy too, Cocoa-chan?

We'll be in a fine mess if you collapse with her.

In that case...

Are you starting a cheerleading squad?

As long as I have the heart of a barista,

I can make coffee even as a rabbit!

That was a line from the movie yesterday.

Maybe I should get serious about becoming a barista.

Then you can be a bartender or a sommelier, Rize-chan.

You're too easily influenced.

It would be wonderful if we could keep working together here when we grow up.

What happened to being a baker and a lawyer?

Lately, I've been thinking about becoming a novelist, too!

Why are you angry?

If you're serious about becoming a barista,

then prove you at least know your blends!

A spring breeze swings by.

If I walk down the lane,

I'm sure I'll meet

all the smiling faces I know.

A strawberry parfait sounds nice,

but I'm in the mood for a caffè latte.

I want to rekindle the flame in my heart

every single day.

Sweet? Sour?

Or maybe bitter?

Let's trust our instincts and go!

Ready, set...

If we're together

everything is lots of fun.

Like a dreaming music note,

my heart beats loud and clear.

Smiling wide,

let's set off!

The forecast says sunshine all day long.

Let's face the sparkling horizon

and head for it!

A bounce in our step!

Isn't this fun?
