H-Hey, Sassu. What do you mean by "something fun"? I have a bad feeling about this...

Chisa
Really? It's independent research, so we should celebrate freedom. Niizuma would prefer something fun too, right?

Panda
No, no, no, no, do you remember the independent research projects you've done before when you say that!?

Chisa
Hm? Yeah.

Chisa
Last year was "How to Make the World's Fastest Rubber Duck."

Yae
Wow, that sounds like fun!

Chisa
Before that was watermelon splitting? Huh? Was that two years ago? Or was it the mosaic art made with Panda's photos?

Panda
The mosaic art was in 6th grade. Suddenly saying "I want 2000 selfies of Panda"...

Yae
A-Amazing...

Yae
What about you, Panda-san? What kind of independent research will you do?

Panda
Hmm, this year I'll probably just safely research something and summarizs it. Last year I finished by making an Asakusa theatre map.

Panda
What about you, Niizumachii? Setting aside what Sassu says, is there anything you're thinking of doing?

Yae
Umm...something fun...I can't really think of anything suddenly...

Chisa
Can't think of anything?

Chisa
Then, I'd like you to help with my independent research.

Yae
Help with Sasuga-san's independent research?

Chisa
Yes. This year it's "Super 3D Flowing Somen." I'm thinking of making it large scale, using the entire Sirius Baths.

Yae
T-The entire Sirius Baths!?

Yae
There's also a second floor, so we need to think about how to handle the stairs...

Panda
No, no, don't take it seriously, Niizumachii!

Panda
Sassu, using the entirety of Sirius Baths is obviously impossible.

Chisa
You think so? Don't you think it would be fun if the course flew out from Kokona and the others' window and entered our room?

Panda
It's not about whether it's fun or not...

Kokona
I'm home~. Haah even though it's just the morning, studying during summer vacation is...

Shizuka
But thanks to that, we could also do some shopping on the way, and you're waking up early, right?

Kathrina
We wake up early for training even without school. -Oh, Niizuma. You were here.

Kokona
Yae-chan! Welcome!

Kokona
Were you all doing homework together?

Shizuka
Half the table seems to be covered with a cooler box though...

Panda
Ah, that's because Sassu went fishing in the morning. We were thinking about Niizumachii's independent research project.

Kathrina
Niizuma's independent research?

Chisa
Yeah. Niizuma hasn't decided what to do yet. So I decided to have her help with my independent research.

Kokona
Eh!? Help with Sasuga-chan's independent research?

Kokona
That sounds fun!

Shizuka
Eh...? Is that going to be okay?

Kathrina
Setting Niizuma aside, the phrase "Sasuga's independent research" is, well...

Kokona
By the way, what are you going to do?

Chisa
"Super 3D Flowing Somen." We're going to do dynamic flowing somen using the entire Sirius Baths.

Panda
Like I said, reconsider that! I'm sorry, everyone. As soon as you got back...

Panda
Come on, Sassu, let's set aside the outrageous flowing somen and quickly prepare lunch.

Chisa
Oh.

Panda
Are you really going to serve the fish you caught this morning for lunch...? Your filleting skills are as impressive as ever...

Chisa
But Niizuma said she wanted to eat it too. For a cute girl, it's a piece of cake. Though it's lunch.

Panda
Yeah, yeah. You were also going somewhere before practice the day before yesterday, weren't you? You're quite active every day. I want to show Niizumachii your diary.

Chisa
Niizuma, did you want to see my diary?

Chisa
I don't really keep one though...

Panda
I mean the summer vacation homework diary. When I peeked at Niizumachii's earlier, it was just rehearsals and self-practice every day.

Chisa
Ah. Niizuma is serious, after all.

Panda
That's what I mean. So I want to show her your diary to teach her that "There are also crazy people like this every day."

Chisa
Hmm. Panda wants to teach Niizuma about my daily life.

Chisa
If that's the case, it's my turn.

Panda
Wait, Sassu. ...What are you thinking?

Chisa
Fufu, I've thought of something good, so Panda, look forward to it.
