Oh summer vacation, who does not like that. Going to the beach, eating shaved ice and standing nude in front of a fan, though I never did that before so I don't know how it feels. What do you guys do in summer vacation. Go on a trip, party with friend or maybe google at girls on the beach, I mean ogle pun intended.
It is the last day of the first term of school and tomorrow starts summer vacation. Renge and Natsumi are by the river and Renge is catching crab like a bear catches fish. She succeed in catching it and name it Oshio. The others, Komari, Hotaru, Subaru and their teacher, Renge's sister, arrive at the bank of the river too to eat melon that was cooling in the river. It is a custom there to eat the melon they have grown themselves, at the end of the term. Before cutting the melon, the teacher gives them their report card. Natsumi is happy to see she got mostly five on her report card, but it shocked when the teacher tells her that middle school is graded from 1 to 10. After finishing their melon Renge release Oshio as the others tell her it is difficult to keep a crab in summer. When going home, Renge salute goodbye to her school.
It is summer vacation, Renge and her sister are sitting at the table when her sister, the teacher, tells her that her other sister, Higake, is returning from Tokyo, she attend high school there as in their village the school is only up to middle school. While they are taking Hikage arrives and brag about Tokyo and how she traveled in a bullet train(shinkansen). At the same time, Natsumi, Komari and Hotaru arrive. When Hikage brags about Bullet train, Renge ask to Hotaru how she traveled when moving from Tokyo. As soon as Hotaru answers by airplane, everyone attention shift from Hikage to Hotaru and start questioning her about how it is to fly in airplane. Poor Hikage is completely ignored.
Another day, Renge is bored at home as she has nothing to do. She goes out for a walk around the village. While walking, she sees a young girl on the bridge. While Renge being hesitant to talk to the girl, the notices Renge too and start talking to her. The little girl's name is Honoka and is in the same crade as Renge, first grade. She came to the village where her grandmother lives for summer vacation. Honoka tells Renge that she wants to take picture so Renge brings her to places she knows. After that they play together everyday. One day after playing, Honoka promises to play together the next day too. Early the next morning, Renge goes to Honoka's place but Honoka is not there anymore, due to her father's work she had to return to Tokyo. Sadden by this news, Renge cries a little and walk home lonely and sad. While brooding over the absence of Honoka, Renge gets a letter of Honoka and a picture of the two together. She decides to write Honoka back and await when she will come back.
Okay well I told mos of the story, so as you can see todays episode focuses on the Renge, the first grader and the youngest of the class. Well I can't say anything about the stories from the beginning, except that they are funny and I fell sorry for Natsumi but the later part of this episode was quite touching. I never expected to see Renge crying. Well it was good because we could see her at her brightest later on. For Natsumi and Kazune, better luck next time
Sorry about a little thing before, I messed up the name of Renge's other sister. Her name is not Kazune but Hikage
