Little Bear Sae-chan
Ready... start!
What a bear y situation...
A-As a bear about to go into hibernation, I-I have to make sure I eat my fill before then.
Sorry, but I'll have to eat you up.
Rawr!
It's too late to play dead now.
Okay, cut!
The first love that blossomed last Christmas between a boy afraid of love and a shy girl...
How is it, director?
It's good!
Though, maybe you could make it seem more like you're just about to hibernate.
You're right. I was thinking the same thing.
Okay, let's do it again.
O-Okay!
...seems to be growing ever stronger even after ten months had passed.

The cafeteria ladies used to look like vending machines to her, but they're normal cafeteria ladies to her now.
Welcome.
Good afternoon.
What's the recommendation for today?
Meat sauce spaghetti, I suppose.
I'll have that, then.
Make sure you eat your veggies.
Okay.
Eat your fill!
She's now able to converse with anyone naturally...
...and she's even become friends with the puppy she used to be so scared of.
There, there...
He really likes you now.
Yes, we even got a dog at my house recently, too.
I see.
There, there.
Seeing the girl mature like that made the boy as happy as if it had happened to him.
I'm still really scared of big dogs.
"She still needs me by her side, after all."
...was what the boy was thinking.
Here you go!
An ube Mont Blanc cake and a café au lait.
Thank you.
Please enjoy.
Could I please have some water?
Yes, I'll be right back with it.
It's been so long since I visited, but Sae-chan sure is popular here as well.
Here as well?
Maybe you haven't noticed, Nii-nii, but her popularity at school is also going through the roof.
Wow, really?
You say it like it's nothing.
I mean, didn't you and Sae-chan participate in the Best Couple contest at the Founder's Festival last year?
Y-Yeah.
Sae-chan was so pretty and adorable!
Because of that, she's become really popular among her classmates, underclassmen, and upperclassmen!
And that's not all!
Her class chose her to represent them in the Founder's Festival committee!
I see.
Sae-chan wasn't too happy about it at first because she thought it'd be a lot of work.
But I reassured her, saying, "you'll be fine! You can do it!"
I see. Maybe it's about time...
...for me to play the instructor again.
Right now, the nostalgic sound of the girl calling the boy "instructor" echoed in his head.
Nii-nii, what's with the weird look on your face?
N-Nothing!
Sae-chan's popularity will go up again for sure.
Here you go.
Ah, thanks.
Look, isn't that her?
Yeah, she was in the Best Couple contest.
Yeah. She's so cute!
Sorry. Did you wait long?
Senpai!
No, not at all.
Like his sister had said, the girl was now the center of attention.
The boy was proud that his girlfriend was so popular, but...
Who's the guy next to her?
Her boyfriend?
No frickin' way.
They totally don't match anyway.
What's with this difference in treatment?
Harsh reality tormented the boy.
Senpai.
What are you having today?
Uh, um...
Ah, today's recommendation is omelette rice.
This is bad. Really bad.
Um... you don't like omelette rice?
No, that's not it...
Sae-chan, wait for me a bit.
Huh?
Um... Senpai?
I have to prove it to everyone.
I'll choose exactly what Sae-chan wants to eat and escort her flawlessly.
I'll show everyone that I'm Sae-chan's boyfriend!
Food Coupons
Wanna let me decide today?
O-Okay.
I'll leave it to you, then.
Omelette Rice (Brown Sauce)
Omelette Rice (White Sauce)
What should I order?
Hmm...
I know!
She was saying something about omelette rice before...
Um... you don't like omelette rice?
All right!
Which one?
Which sauce does Sae-chan like?
Omelette Rice (White Sauce)
Omelette Rice (Brown Sauce)
Which does she usually eat?
Um, I love beef stew.
That's the case for brown sauce.
This cream stew's delicious, isn't it?
That's the case for white sauce.
Omelette Rice (White Sauce)
Omelette Rice (Brown Sauce)
Which is it?
No!
I'm always looking at Sae-chan's face, so I can't remember which one she likes!
Come on, Junichi, hurry up!
Look at the line behind you.
What's the holdup?
Just pick something already!
He's still not done yet?
I'm a fan of brown sauce.
That's the case for you, but...
It's fine.
Our cafeteria's omelette rice is really good no matter which sauce you go with.
You can't go wrong!
Please!

Okay! Brown sauce omelette rice and white sauce omelette rice, right?
Yes.
Afraid of failure, the boy decided to play it safe.
Make sure you eat your veggies.
I'll have a mini salad, then.
As for the dressing...
Wasabi Sauce
Thousand Island
Italian
Japanese
Sesame
Wh-What should I get?
What dressing does Sae-chan like?
Excuse me!
Could I have the Japanese dressing?
Here you go.
R-Rihoko, why did you choose that?
Huh? Why the question?
Whatever, just tell me!
Th-That's because, well...
It has the least calories.
Don't make me say that again!
I see.
In that case...
What would someone who doesn't care about her weight go for?
What? That's mean, Junichi!
Just tell me!
Everyone has their own tastes.
Here. Thousand island sauce.
That fluffy-looking girl always chooses this sauce.
Um... how'd you know that was for Sae-chan?
You and the fluffy-looking girl always have lunch together, right?
I guess some people really do know.
Man, I'm so glad!
Well, I dunno if you should be glad that a cafeteria lady knows.
Senpai, um... are you doing okay?
Um... I'll carry the food instead.
Sae-chan?
Senpai, leave it to me.
I'm used to it from my job.
Go ahead.
Ah, I'll go buy some drinks.
O-Okay.
Here you go.
Here, I got you bitter melon soda.
You like it, don't you?
Yeah, thanks.
The boy was thinking that, unlike the girl, he didn't really know very much about his girlfriend.
But it's not too late.
The boy had already allocated a page in the memo pad in his head for what the girl likes.
Sae-chan, you like that drink, right?
Yes.
And on the very first page, he noted that the girl likes panda cocoa.
A few days later, the boy and girl went to a shrine.
This was something the girl had really wanted to do.
But why did you want to come here?
It said on a magazine that this place really does grant wishes.
I see.
Sae-chan.
Yes?
What did you wish for?
U-Um...
It's a secret.
A secret?
S-Sorry.
I can't tell you.
The boy really wanted to know what the girl's wish was,
but he felt a barrier from her refusal to tell him and didn't press any further.
Clouds of insecurity arose gloomily in the boy's heart.
Squirrel Sae-chan
Penguin Sa
Honey Sae-chan
Cat Sae-chan
Seal Sae-chan
"She does such adorable things! I should know more about her than anyone else."
That's what the boy was telling himself.
Nii-nii, this is bad!
Miya, don't just barge in without warning!
I forgot something really important!
Sae-chan's apparently having a marriage meetup today!
Sae-chan didn't mention anything about it to me.
Senpai, I'm sorry.
God, please break us up.
C-Could that be what she was wishing for?
The boy was in a state of shock.
Sae-chan's family is really wealthy, so I'm sure her parents are deciding her marriage.
M-M-Marriage?!
His sister's words, akin to pouring more oil onto the fire, panicked the boy even more.
I feel so bad for Sae-chan for having to marry someone she doesn't love!
Her partner might come from a criminal organization...
What'll happen to Sae-chan?
Wh-What should I do?
Anyway, I'll go see Sae-chan before the meetup and find out exactly what's going on!
Miya, tell me where she is.
Nii-nii, you're saving Sae-chan from the hands of evil?
I'll help!
All right.
Oh yeah.
Let's go!
Hey, boy. Was there really a need to bring that videotape with you?
Wow, this hotel's huge.
There's no way we can figure out where Sae-chan is.
Yeah.
I wonder who her partner is.
You're just like a fish on the chopping board!
Are you ready?
S-Senpai! Help!
I'll save you, Sae-chan!
Nii-nii?
Miya, we have to find Sae-chan and stop the meetup no matter what!
R-Roger!
And the wedding cake is cut!
Nii-nii, are you okay?
We must hurry!
Where's Sae-chan?
I have to find her and stop her!
Nii-nii, over there!
Sae-chan...
Nii-nii?
It's no good...
Go! Now!
Wait, hey!
Whatever, just hurry up and go!
Damn it!
Th-This meetup is over!
Oh, no...
Senpai?
A meetup for your dogs?
Yes, for Erica-chan from my cousin's house...
Oh, that's the dog's name.
She's meeting Satoshi-kun from my house...
But Miya said...
Um, I'm pretty sure I told Miya-chan the same thing...
Right...
The boy could already see how his sister had quickly jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Hey, Miya-chan.
My puppy's having a meetup this coming Sunday.
See you.
Bye-bye!
Wait, I get the feeling Sae-chan just told me something incredible...
Hmm... What was it?
Sae-chan was talking about a meetup?!
Meetup
This is bad, Nii-nii!
She's seriously unbelievable...
Um, Senpai?
The videotape from just now...
Oh, I brought it here so I could show your partner just how much I think about you,
since I didn't think my words would be very convincing...
That's a pretty terrible excuse.
What's worse, it doesn't even make sense.
I see.
Yeah.
But it looks like I didn't need it.
Yes.
Sae-chan, you look really good in your kimono.
R-Really?
Y-Yeah.
Good thing I wore it.
After going through the trouble of putting it on, I actually really wanted you to see it.
I-It's pretty.
Th-Thank you.
The boy and the girl are hiding what they want to say in their hearts.
Man, these two really test your patience.
U-Um...
What?
I'm really happy that you came running for me.
I really panicked.
If you really were meeting up with someone else...
If you really did end up marrying him...
I didn't know what I'd do...
Seriously.
It's all because Miya made it sound like some political marriage decided by your parents.
I wouldn't do that with anyone else.
I won't marry... anyone else.
I made a wish.
I wished that I could be with you forever.
Wait, are you talking about the wish you made at the shrine we went to?
Yes.
I heard that your wish won't come true if you told someone about it...
That's why you kept it a secret?
Y-Yes.
Sae-chan.
Senpai...
Yup, yup.
They've really come to like each other.
There, there!
You'd know if you'd just calmly thought about it.
There's no way a highschool student would have a marriage meetup.
That's true, now that I think about it.
But it's all good, right?
The misunderstanding's been solved, and the bonds between you two have grown even stronger.
I guess that's true.
Man, you're so lucky to have bonds, boss!
As for me, I don't even know where my red string of destiny links to.
Maybe it's even been cut...
Tachibana-kun, you have a guest.
I believe she's in the Founder's Festival committee...
Yeah.
What is it?
You know, Onii-chan, Sae-chan's in big trouble!
I don't know if I can trust your definition of "big trouble".
It's for real this time!
Right?
S-Senpai...
Sae-chan?
Sae-chan was chosen as the Founder's Festival committee president!
Isn't she amazing?!
How'd that happen?
Geez, didn't I tell you?
Sae-chan's pretty much the idol of Kibitou these days.
What should I do, Senpai?
The boy was thinking that nobody other than him could help the girl face the challenges to come.
It's a good opportunity, so you should go for it, I guess.
Ahh...
See? I told you my brother would say that.
Come on, you should do it, Sae-chan.
I'll help too.
S-Since both of you say I should...
I'll do it.
All right! It's decided, then.
I-I'll try my best.
Well said, Sae-chan!
All right, we'll do some training to make you a great committee president!
Yes, i-instructor!
Yeah, start calling me that again!
The boy's heart burned with enthusiasm upon hearing the girl call him "instructor" after so long.
Though, the events that lie ahead of them would surely test their love.
Hey, boy and girl.
Will you both be okay?

Thank you so much, instructor.
It's been so long since you called me that.
Y-Yes.
Ah, I have an idea.
Lemme look for it...
Sae-chan, could you try reading these?
Yes. Um...
"Master Tachibana"?
Yup.
"Tachibana the Great".
Yup, yup!
"President Tachibana", "King Tachibana", "Tachibana the Expert"...
Yup, yup, yup!
"Champion Tachibana"!
