Haa...

Haa...

Senpai, this feels great!

Ow, that's hot...

Senpai, your turn for the shower.

How did this happen?

How did this really happen?

A business trip?

Yeah.

It's a project I've been working on

with Hiroko since last year,

but I can't make it this time

because of another engagement.

Can you go instead?

A business trip

with Hiroko-senpai? Just the two of us?

Yeah, it's an overnight trip,

but it will be

a great learning experience.

I'll do my best!

I'll pour my entire soul into this!

You don't have to go that far...

Then, I'll excuse myself.

A battle I cannot afford to lose

is starting now!

"AYAKA is in LOVE with HIROKO"

"Episode 3" "A double bed with a straight"

This one or this one? Which one do you think I should take on the trip?

Which one?

I think this one is ravishing.

But to abandon this prim and proper one is...

Umm...

By the way, why are you

choosing underwear?

Because it's my first business trip with Hiroko-senpai!

If there's a problem with

Hiroko-senpai's work because of me,

that would be terrible.

So I have to wear auspicious underwear.

For good luck, huh?

Yes.

Why are you laughing?

No, it's just so you, Ayaka.

Huh?

You're always so honest.

I suppose.

If it's for good luck,

I'd go with the prim and proper one.

Right?

I was leaning towards that one too!

- Okay, I'll take this one! - Yeah.

Alright.

Wow, Hiroko-senpai works on

local events too.

Yeah.

It's surprising, right?

But Hiroko-senpai is so busy,

it'd be better to handle it remotely.

I thought so too,

but if that's the case, I wouldn't be able to go on a business trip with senpai.

Ayaka,

you truly like Hiroko-senpai, don't you?

Yes.

I really like her.

You mean you're sharing a room?

We're not sharing a room!

It's for work!

If it were me, I'd find any excuse

to get into the same room!

Heh, don't assume I'm like you.

Hmm... But is this really okay,

Hiro-chan?

Can you stay calm in such a situation?

Even you, Mama...

It's strictly work.

Besides...

That girl has a boy she likes.

Ayaka, this is your first

business trip, right?

Yes.

But I'll do my best

not to trouble you, Senpai!

Wow, that's reassuring.

Yes.

I wore the one Risa chose, but...

(An auspicious day)

Cha...

(Love Hiroko)

- Heave Ho! - Heave Ho!

Senpai, can you accept me now?

Yes!

- Heave Ho! - Heave Ho!

Ayaka!

Let's go.

Yes.

Focus! We're working today.

The event we're planning will be

held here at this market.

It's such a lively place.

Yeah.

Yamamoto-san.

Oh, Hiroko-chan!

- Hello. - Ah, I've been waiting for you.

Alright.

Sorry, sorry, please excuse me.

This is Yamamoto-san from

a traditional tuna factory.

And this is my junior colleague...

I'm Toda Ayaka.

- Nice to meet you. - Thank you for coming all this way.

I'm sorry I don't have a business card.

Yamamoto-san makes

delicious tuna croquettes

and now he's ready for this project.

- Oh. - No.

That's because Hiroko-chan

planned the project.

This meeting could've

been done remotely, though.

No, I wanted to see you, Yamamoto-san.

And I wanted to eat those

delicious tuna croquettes.

Really?

Then this is for you.

- Yay! - Here, take it.

- Is it okay? - Thank you!

Enjoy!

- Bon appétit. - Bon appétit.

Eat them while they're hot.

Umm...

Hiroko-chan

really pays attention to

each of us individually.

- I'm really grateful. - No,

I just enjoy working with everyone here.

Senpai's work is so warm.

I'll work hard to stand by your side.

Going to the chairman's place next, yes?

Yes.

Do your best.

- Yes. - Yeah.

- Excuse us. - Sure.

- Thank you! - Yeah.

- See you later. - Thank you!

Bye-bye!

(Sweet potato seaweed a gift from the Akamoku ocean)

(Tuna Kushikatsu stewed tuna)

- Ah! Hiroko-san! - Ah, Hatanaka-san!

- Long time no see. - It's been a while.

Ah, that is...

- It's completed, right? - That's right.

Are you okay? Let me help.

Oh, thank you.

- Here you go. - Huh? You are...

I'm Todo Ayaka from SAL Creative,

helping with this year's event.

I'll give it my all! Nice to meet you!

Thank you very much. Just here is fine.

- Thank you, thank you! - Are you alright?

- Alright. - Oh, please wait.

- Oh. - Oww...

You dropped something, Uncle.

- Ah. Thank you. - No problem.

But I'm an "Auntie."

"Auntie?"

This is the chairman.

I'm so sorry!

I apologize deeply!

- Her eyesight isn't great. - Sorry, I'm truly sorry.

We apologize.

Chairman, nice to meet you.

Haa... I'm tired.

I'm so sorry, Senpai,

for my manners.

It's okay.

The chairman said you were energetic.

Yes.

Yes...

I even wore my good luck underwear…

Haa...

But I was a bit impressed.

Huh?

Ayaka, you've changed.

Really?

Yes.

The past you...

How should I put it?

I used to be quite rigid.

Let's go. Well?

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's go. That's great!

- Everyone, let's go! - Let's go!

Calm down, let's take that one too.

Sure.

- You're going too, right? - Yes.

- Yes. - I'm glad.

Umm... Ayaka-chan, right?

We'll discuss about

tomorrow's gathering.

What do you think, Ayaka-chan?

I'm going home.

Oh, sorry, do you have plans?

It's time to clock out.

Oh.

Is joining necessary?

Ah.

Not necessary...

Excuse me then.

Let's go.

You're going, right?

That's right.

- It's fine. - Ah, Ayaka-chan...

- Huh? - Huh?

Ah? Huh?

Hey, everyone, look this way.

- Stop looking already! Stop! - I already stopped.

- Huh? - What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Not at all, not at all.

It wasn't a bad thing.

But now...

I want to learn from you, Senpai,

and work well with each person.

So I can stand by your side proudly.

I see.

And it's because of you, Hiroko-senpai,

that I've changed.

Even during today's trip,

I realized again

how much I like you, Hiroko-senpai.

- What's wrong? - Ah.

Ah... No.

It's nothing...

shall we go buy some souvenirs later?

Souvenirs for Risa?

For Risa too,

but I also want to give them

to others as well.

It's the hotel.

Hello.

Maybe I got a little closer to Senpai.

Even if the good luck charm

didn't work perfectly.

Huh?

Yes.

We sincerely apologize!

No worries, if the drainage pipe burst,

there's nothing we can do.

We tried to arrange a replacement room,

but all the singles are occupied...

Huh?

We'll guide you to a double room.

Wait, what? Wait!

Good job, good luck charm!

My self-control is at risk!

Wow, it's spacious.

Double...

A double bed?

What is this honeymoon setup?

What kind of apology is this?

What kind of trial is this?

Calm down!

Can I even calm down?

Being alone with Hiroko-senpai

in a honeymoon-type room

with a double bed!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

Thank you, good luck charm!

Thank you, good fortune!

Let's unpack.

Ah, yes.

Wait, are you planning to

wear that tomorrow?

Isn't it too short?

And it smells… nice…

- Senpai. - Yes?

Do you want to take a shower first?

Or later?

Or...

should we go together?

So, how will you respond?

Are there that many options?

What are you saying?

You can go first, Ayaka.

Okay, I'll go first then.

Sure.

No. I won't back down this easily.

Don't think about weird things!

Remember, Hiroko, she's straight!

And she has a guy she likes!

Haa...

I can't miss this chance!

I'll use every method

to confess my feelings to Hiroko-senpai.

Why?

Why did this have to happen?

Ugh. I can't calm down.

I need coffee.

Alright, ah.

Haa...

Haa...

Senpai, this feels great!

Ow, that's hot...

Senpai? Are you okay?

I'm fine!

Why am I going through this ordeal?

Haa...

I'm glad I brought this…

Alright!

Senpai, you can take a shower now.

Okay, I'll go...

Hey, hey, hey! Are you insane?

Sorry.

This is what I usually wear at home.

Of course, I bought this new!

Ah… I see.

Oh! Senpai,

this body milk is

amazing for moisturizing.

And...

And it smells so good.

Ah… that's nice.

Want to smell it?

Smell it? From her skin?

Ah, it's okay.

I can smell it from here,

it's really nice!

Hmm... Not working.

In that case…

Hiroko-senpai.

Can you apply this on my back?

Come on! Apply it, Senpai!

Wait, are straight people

usually this defenseless?

How does my back feel?

I don't understand what girls these days play at.

What's the right move?

What's straight-like answer?

Ayaka!

You'll catch a cold dressed like that!

Look, there's a yukata.

Wear it. You need to stay warm.

I'm going to take a shower now!

I already did this much

and it's still not reaching her.

Don't give up! Keep moving forward.

That was dangerous!

I was really flustered,

but I somehow managed.

Huh? I can manage, right?

Senpai, I'll dry your hair!

Ah! It's okay!

My hair is like a Golden Retriever's!

Thank you!

What a coincidence!

I have one at my parent's house.

I'm good at it!

No, really, it's okay!

My hair is really bad. Thanks.

Senpai.

I don't know why I feel a bit cold…

Can you warm me up?

Ah. Cold?

That's terrible.

I'll call the front desk and get help.

Umm... What to do?

Good afternoon! No! Good evening!

Could we get a blanket?

Yes, a thick one, please.

Alright, let's go to sleep.

Senpai, I'm a bit scared of the dark.

Can we hold hands while we sleep?

Scared?

Then, I'll leave this light on!

Ah, no nightlight?

Then I'll turn this lamp on.

It's okay, we'll wake up in the morning.

Let's sleep.

Is being in the same room

with these straights this dangerous?

I only knew how to act

with ulterior motives.

I wasn't aware at all.

I put so much effort,

why doesn't she understand?

Even friends would notice something

if I acted like this!

But I don't have many friends to know…

I knew it...

is this love just that impossible?

But now...

I want to learn from you, Senpai,

and work well with each person.

So I can stand by your side proudly.

Ayaka. Are you awake?

Ah. Yes.

Can you keep me company?

Huh?

Thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

This sake is...

Someone at the market gave it to me.

I thought of sharing it with you.

With me?

You worked really hard today, right?

You've been studying a lot since

you decided to go on this trip, right?

Not quite enough.

Thank you for your hard work.

I...

Want to receive compliments

from the senior I like.

So I'm trying my best.

If you keep saying

such misleading things…

I might take you seriously.

Ah.

She's weak to alcohol.

That was close!

Glad she didn't hear that!

Haa...

- Haa... - Haa...

Time to head back to the city!

Yes!

Ah.

Ayaka, you've got a stain there.

Where?

Here.

Oh, you're right!

How did that happen?

Huh?

See?

Haa...

Senpai, this feels great!

Ow, that's hot...

Ah.

That was my fault!

Ah. It's totally fine.

I've been wearing this for a while

and was thinking of getting

a new one anyway.

No, no, no! What to do?

Are you free this weekend?

Let me buy you a new one!

Hiroko-senpai... A new outfit?

Could that be…

A date?

(Next episode) Are you free this weekend?

Let me buy you a new one!

Hiroko-senpai... A new outfit?

I think senior is very energetic.

Meeting Ayaka outside of work

feels very refreshing.

Right.

Well? Do you like it?

Looking at others with

those seductive eyes.

I did not!

The person Ayaka likes

is Hiroko-senpai, right?

A love that couldn't be conveyed,

just forget about it.

So cute.

It didn't reach her at all.

Is it because I'm a woman?
