Next is the super fun, exciting and psychedelic area known as Dreamland☆

Whoa...! I used to LOVE this place as a kid!

Indeed. It's been one of your favorites since you were little. We'd always go to the Trampoline Dome, but you kept begging us to go back in for seconds or even thirds.

Don't bring up old stories like that, Tsukasa!

Ha ha ha! Forgive me, Saki!

...

(At first, the girls kept their distance from Saki when she started going to school again...)

(But it looks like they've made up and are having a great time together again.)

Hehe. I'm so proud of Saki.

Ugh... He's doing that thing again...
Talking to himself and grinning like an idiot...

I'm sure he's just glad to see that his sister and her friends are enjoying the park.

Yeah! And there's lots and lots more fun to come☆

So this is the fun sort of haunted house that you and Tsukasa were talking about...?

Yup! It's really fun, I promise♪

(Hm? Saki's going in with Honami...)

Look after my sister, Honami!

I will. She'll be safe with me!

You sure? You get scared so easily too.

I-I'll be all right. Tsukasa said this attraction is for people of all ages, from little children to the elderly.

Yeah! Let's hurry up and get in line!

Huh? Saki, wait!
You shouldn't be running around here!

Oh, Saki...

Your sister and her friends seem like they're having a great time.

But I am a little concerned about Saki.
You said she wasn't in very good health?

Her doctor said she's fine now.
Well, as long as she doesn't overexert herself.

I see. I'm glad to hear that.

Yes... But I still worry about her sometimes too...

It still doesn't seem like she knows her limits all that well...

The other day, she spiked a fever during band practice and nearly collapsed.

Come to think of it, I caused you some trouble because of that too.

That was when you said you wouldn't turn up for our rehearsal, wasn't it?

Indeed. But it turned out to just be a cold and she recovered after a good night's rest.

However, Saki doesn't want anyone else to worry about her.
Not even her own family.

So she tries to keep quiet about feeling unwell from anyone else...

Ah...

But you know, when she was on the committee for her school's Sports Festival, she took part in both organizing the event and the competitions!

So I guess she's gotten better at monitoring her health and keeping her activities within reason.

She still does occasionally forget herself...
But the girls are there to look out for her.

Yes, having good friends is very important.

Yeah. Unlike when we were kids, I can't always be by Saki's side nowadays.

It's reassuring for me to know she's got friends who do that in my stead.

Hehe...

Hm? What is it?

Oh, it's just remarkable how caring you can be when it comes to your sister...

Are you saying I don't normally come off as a caring person...?

Ah, nothing like that.
I'm just saying that she's very lucky to have you.

Well, of course I am...

Is the next pair ready to go in?

Yes, we are♪
Let's go, Hona!

O-Okay!

Saki and Honami's turn came around...

I can't wait! I can't wait!
When's it gonna be our turn?!

I don't really care much for haunted houses...

Eeek! A skeleton!
Get away! Get away!

Noooo! Don't come this way...!

...?!

Are they really going to be okay?
They're screaming so loud, I can hear them out here...

That must be because they're having sooo much fun! This haunted house is one of my favorites, so I'm super glad!

How can you say that when they're SCREAMING?!

This is a family-oriented attraction...
What could've made them so scared...?!

Don't tell me...
Maybe the real thing's in there too?!

Real thing...? Like a REAL ghost?!

Wait, I really doubt that...

That blasted ghost!
How dare you attack my sister and her friend!

Looks like I must exorcise it myself!

Ts-Tsukasa, where are you...?!

Hey, no fair! I wanna do some ghost-busting too!

Well, well.
I did say she's lucky to have him,
but maybe I should take that back...
