Umimachi Diary Page #2

Ah! Watch out.

Welcome!

That's a long way.

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

Your room's on the second floor.

You can unpack there.

Yes.

We're neighbors.

From now on,

you can count on me.

Follow me!

Here, here.

-Yoshino, help me with lunch.

-Ehh? We don't get delivery?

You make soba

when you move.

Maybe some roots tempuras?

And eggplants...

-We have eggplants.

-Nice!

I'll help.

We're good.

Tidy your stuff, first.

You can take care of that?

Yes.

We're sisters,

let's drop the formalities.

Okay!

This is Yoshi's room.

This was Sachi's old office.

It's small...

But it faces south!

Ah. Will the desk fit...?

It's really narrow...

Suzu?

Yes?

This is grandma and grandpa.

They were both teachers.

She looks like Sachi.

Never say that to Sachi!

She hates it.

Ah?

Mom always told her that,

when they were fighting.

Hello!

He's here!

-We're done, already...

-Eh?

It's hot!

That's her boss.

Think they're dating?

I'd rather not think about it...

That girl...

I really don't get her.

So you played soccer?

Yes, when we lived in Sendai.

You should do the tryouts,

for the Octupus's.

Yeah!

That's the local team.

Girls your age can also join.

We'll go cheer you on.

Main dishs ready!

Ah! Sorry!

I was completely useless today!

No worries. Chika owes you a lot.

Nah...

The food is really delicious!

Need more salt?

No no. It's perfect like that.

Hamada, you played soccer?

I did a bit of Alpinism, is all.

Not just "a bit".

He climbed the Manaslu

seven years ago!

Really?

But then, I had an accident

trying to climb Everest...

I lost six toes.

Eh? Six?!

My toes... wanna see?

I'm good.

You sure? You can touch.

No no.

Do you want a picture?

I'm good!

Alright. Sit down everyone.

Sit down!

I'm from Yamagata High School.

My name is Suzu Asano.

Nice to meet you.

Give her a round of applause!

Your seat's over there.

Yamagata, that's north from here.

You'll remember it this time?

If you forget it,

you can now ask Suzu directly.

Nice to meet you!

You joined a club?

Soccer club.

Soccer? Cool!

-I'm in basket.

-Me too.

Future pro players!

Asano!

Hamada asked me to bring you this,

for the Octopus's.

Your parent needs to sign it.

Can my older sister sign it?

Yeah, no problem.

-Alright, Thanks.

-See ya.

You're gonna join?

If I pass the tryouts.

Looks good!

A child is not a pet, you know!

I know that!

You consulted your mom?

No... your niece

has nothing to do with it.

Decidedly...

You're as stubborn

as my older sister was!

But I have to insist...

Raising a child can be very hard!

I'll be okay. I had to raise Yoshino

and Chika by myself, after all.

Sachi, really think about it....
