See You Next Trip!
*hic…* Liguang… You’re gon’ sit ’n’ drink w’me today!! I wan’ tell you shom’n…
*sigh…* What a pain.
C’mon, it won’t kill you. This is a special occasion.
I’m gonna go on a date with our chief next time we go on a study trip.
Got it. I’ll join you.
Why?!
Woof!
Huhuhu… Eheheh… I see butterfliiiies… Wait, nyo… They’re made outta money… Moneyfliiiies!
Sakujiro-san, you wan’ me t’ treat you to somethin’ with alla this caaaash?
Fuefuki-kun, you have had too much to drink.
The adults are…a mess…
Kiroku, they might drag you into it if you make eye contact. Just ignore them.
Ugh, how can they act like that in front of a bunch of impressionable teens? This is why I hate drunk people.
Why? Looks pretty fun to me. I like being around drunk people!
You’re very open-minded, Isotake…
Haha… Hahaha… Hahahaha! Ahahahahaha!
Huh? Raito-san, are you okay?
I think he’s drunk. Pretty rare for him. Nayuuki says that he’s a happy drunk.
Don’t pay him any mind. Just leave him alone.
According to my search, there are multiple types of drunks, from sad to happy to angry. Happy drunks are the bomb dot com.
Kinyari, this pink drink is super adorbs! Let’s make a toast with it and take a selfie together. ♪
Upon a grave, tapping his foot along to the pulse, the Grim Reaper dances along to the melody in the dead of night…
There are lots of flowers each with their own meanings in the world but there’s a particular one that Sonia and I discuss a lot and that’s the one that means “space” and would you believe it the flower with that meaning is actually the king trumpet mushroom—
Among the dishes that use king trumpet mushroom, I find tempura to be expeshally deliscous. Tempura, temple, template effect.
Oh… Really…?
Temporal lobe.
Hey… You guys are so damn drunk I can’t even understand you.
But yooouur face’s all red too, Ryooeeeeeey. Iss plump ‘n’ ripe, like a cosmic tomayyytoooo.
Gh?! D-Don’t fuckin’ touch me!
Huhhh? Whaaat? I juss wiggled m’fingers a biiit.
When my dear brother gets drunk, he strangely gets a lot more ticklish! He’s usually so cool, but this is his only weakness… It’s sooooo cuuuute!
Good t’knooow! Gootchie-gootchie-gooo!
Wai— Yowa, you— Aha! Haha! Hahahahaha!
Netaro-san, he’s especially ticklish at the back of his neck!
Wha— Toi?!
Gootchie-gootchiiiie!
Ha! Hahahaha! Ahahaha! Hahaha! Haha! You fucke— Ahahahaha! I’ll k— I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! Hahahahaha!
*phone ringing*
……
Zzz…
<What could you possibly need at this hour?>
I just thought I’d call you to celebrate, Hakkei-san.
<…Hmph. All you did was keep your title as a tourism region. HAMA is still at the bottom of the pyramid amongst other cities in the nation.>
And thank you so much for always spending your hard-earned money at our bottom-of-the-pyramid city, Great Elder Hakkei. ♪
<Gh…! Kafka, d-did you…?!>
I’ll just consider all of them surprise inspections, so you don’t need to be embarrassed. I found your old man disguise to be particularly interesting.
<You little… Always such an impudent child!>
Ahaha! Well, keep your expectations high, because we’re aiming for the first six-star review in the country. That should help you get a little closer to the Minister of Tourism position too.
<Hmph. I do not need your help to rise to that position.>
……
<…Is he doing well?>
Yes, I suppose. He’s been doing nothing but fishing since he stepped down as mayor.
<I see…>
You can come visit us, if you’d like, especially since you’ll be in town to inspect anyway. He’ll be happy to see you.
<No, thank you. I am quite busy.>
<…I suppose I will congratulate you for surviving. Be careful not to act careless from now on.>
*beep*
*sigh* Good grief.
It’s always such a pain to deal with incompetent adults like you…Mom.
K-Kafka, I foundja…!
Renga? What do you need? You’re quite drunk. The way you’re stumbling around is worrying me.
Uhh, I drank a lotta water, so I sobered up a l’il bit… M’okay…
Here…!
Hm…?
Um, I think you should be the las’ one.
I see. You came up with a nice gift.
(The party’s finally over. Everyone celebrated pretty hard. I’m really tired after all of that.)
H-Hey, Chief!
Renga-kun? You were pretty drunk before. Are you alright now?
Uh, I’m okay. I didn’t drink too much, so I’m already sober…
I have something to give to you! Here…
…A weekly report?
…Y-Yeah, kinda. I had the other leaders show up as guests… It’s a special one, okay?!
Oh, really? Okay, let me listen…
Hey, don’t just play it in front of me!! You did this that one day too! It’s embarrassing!
Ah… Sorry. I wasn’t thinking.
A-Anyway, I recorded everything I wanted to say in that…! Listen to it in your room! Good night!
Good night!
(Renga-kun was really panicking… I guess it’s more than just your everyday report.)
All of the team leaders signed the tape.
(Now that I look around, I completely filled up this room with souvenirs before I even noticed it. All of them bring back amazing memories.)
I found what I truly wanted to do, decided to make it my entire life, and…started running forward.
(Since I’ve joined HAMA Tours, my whole life has felt like one big journey. The happy moments and frustrating moments alike added color to this adventure.)
(I want to go on the next journey with everyone. Just thinking about it gets my heart pounding…!)
I should play the tape. I wonder what’s on it.
(Holding this tape in my hands feels like I’m holding a little treasure box. This must’ve been one of the final goals in this journey.)
*click*
<Chief… Um… There’s still a lot of things that I dunno how to do…>
<But I wanna get past all of these challenges and learn from them, so I can become somebody who I can be proud of one day.>
<You’re the person who made me strive for that.>
<So, I’m not really good at saying this, but… Tha… Thank you!>
<Teach, I wanna thank you for a whole bunch of stuff!>
<You helped me learn to put my foot down and hang in there.>
<You helped me learn to love myself. You helped me learn to believe in myself.>
<So until the day I become an intergalactic movie director… Well, even after I become one, I’ll always want you to be my teacher.>
<Chief, thank you for coming close to my heart.>
<I was able to discover my own way of loving others because you searched for it with me.>
<That will become my motivation to keep living.>
<I’ll live my life to the fullest, so I want you to please stay by my side… As my companion.>
<Dear Chief. Good evening, for the hundredth time. And…>
<Thank you for inviting someone like me to HAMA Tours. Thank you for believing in me and waiting for me.>
<I’ll treasure the clover you gave me for a lifetime, and I’ll never, ever forget the sound of your voice welcoming me home.>
<I’ll make sure to give you my best flowers every day, for the rest of time.>
<Chief, I wonder what you’re feeling right now.>
<Personally, I’m just really happy.>
<Because you were here, HAMA Tours was able to reach its destination for this journey. Thank you so much.>
<This isn’t the final stop, of course. Our journey will continue on.>
<You have to join us for the next journey as well. Because we’re just getting started.>
<Promise you will, okay?>
