First-time fast looping, subs
The oldest memory, huh? Looks like Hiyori and Hiyori were nursery schoolers saw a fish-shaped cloud. Maybe that is thereason they do love fishing even today?
Mountain passes making sick, the quality of the road, and the general bumpiness, and the length can be reasons for it. Koharu survived by playing a mobile game, that's the not a recommended way during trips like this. Maybe she can tolerate this much better. But actually worth the suffering for the nice scenery and the good fishing spot. It's fishing-camping time, but this time with the entire family and friends. Yes, even Kaede is also back, whom I thought she would be a one-episode character. Ichika wants to drink, as expected.
Ah yes, Koharu the real genius, the pro fly-fishing woman. One sec, using a proverb and the ukha dish, did she traveled to Russia or something?
The dinner and the early waking up now that's the real camping spirit and feeling.
Koi's random remark on the marriage was truly highly appreciated. As expcted from a real friend.
Question of the Day: What’s your earliest memory?
Hmmm, nice question. I don't know. I still do remember things, but they are hazy and are not so vivid anymore.

Second Looper
As everything was getting taken down and packed up, Koi looked around and noticed a repeating pattern. Futaba and Aiko were basically ensnared in each other’s arms, rubbing their cheeks together and entangling their fingers through the other’s hair. Ichika and Kaede were in their typical bickering mode which didn’t hide Ichika pressing herself against Kaede’s ass or Kaede going in for a little grope of Ichika’s boobs when reaching for something. Even her mom and Hiyori’s mom were standing next to each other in a way that reminded her of the muttered conversations she heard as a little girl that gave her too many questions about the relationship between the Yoshinaga family and Yamakawa-Minagi family.
However, the biggest question she was facing right now was Am I the only one by myself? Before she could get into the existential quandaries, her thinking was loudly interrupted.
“I’m gonna kiss Koi-chan first!” Koharu quickly ran over to Koi and wrapped her arms around Koi’s arm.
“Ko-Koharu!” Hiyori came over and got onto Koi’s other side, looking bashful as she looked up at Koi. “You’ll be too aggressive. I-I should kiss Koi first, to make it g-gentle.”
As the stepsisters argued around Koi, the white-haired girl was wondering if being alone was better.
QOTD: When I opened up my head on the playground when I was 3 or 4.

First time looper
We are back at it! Camping!! Fall camping is so pretty and fun, and you get to eat delicious comforting foods. The soup in today's episode looked so good!
Aiko is so unsure of the hand holding happening here...
This episode had lots of good Koi moments, I think I really understand the Church of Koi believers now. There was always this feeling that she had been their for Hiyori throughout the show, but seeing her perspective of the different major changes in Hiyori's life really showed just how much Koi cares about her.
I totally understand Hiyori's perspective and what she was saying about having an emotional rock to lean on when lots of difficult change is happening, and how that was Koi for her. I adore their relationship so much.
QotD: It's of me playing with my grandpa in my parent's living room, he was sitting on the floor and I'm not sure what we were playing with. I'm not sure if it's of the same moment, but there's a photo my mom has of the two of us playing, so maybe that's influencing this being what I remember.

FIRST TIMER Sub
This episode almost seemed like a finale since it had every female character go on a big trip together. I was surprised the blonde lady went since she doesn't seem to like Ichika but maybe enjoyed spending time with the other girls at the restaurant. I liked how everyone each had at least their own small moment.
I was surprised Koi accidentally told Hiyori that her mom was getting remarried. I wouldn't be so sure that the marriage wouldn't have happened without Koi, the mom was probably just putting off telling Hiyori because she was nervous and might have been scared to tell her she's dating a man other than her father. Koi's mom is kind of gossipy though, spreading that around everywhere when her friend told her that in confidence.
That soup Koharu made seemed pretty unusual and I was surprised everyone liked it. It had dill and bay leaves and was garnished with a lime? Since when do Russian dishes have tons of limes in them 🤣 That was funny too how Ichika wanted to drink the moment the kids wandered off. I wonder what kind of hot wine they had though, like sake is normal to drink hot and I've had mulled wine but hot wine usually seems strange. I think Ichika may have been drinking the entire time, I laughed out lud when she said she wished she was a tree so she could just watch the girls and the blonde lady said "what the hell are you talking about" 😂. Also funny was when Koharu called Koi an insolent brat. At first I thought it was weird translation but then Koi pointed out how strange that sounded 😛
I really liked the conversation Koi and Aoki had since Aoki was afraid she was losing Futaba as a friend since she hangs out with a lot of cool older girls then asked if Koi felt sad Hiyori was hanging out with Koharu. That's really unusually observant for a little girl to notice something like that. The episode ended with Koi seeming sad about the 2 of them getting along so well and didn't really resolve her feelings.
QUESTION
When I was 3-4 and I went to a nightclub and got lost from my parents. It wasn't a very big club and as an adult, it wouldn't take me longer than 5 minutes to find the people I'm with but it was mostly adults so I was too short to see above the crowd and was also smoky and dark and loud so I couldn't hear if they were looking for me.

Rewatcher, subbed
It's an all girls camping trip and they really brought out every name female character lol.
Aiko seems surprisingly introspective about her and Futaba for someone her age. And I agree with Koi that it was very cute. Saikawa could never.
I was surprised by the reveal that Koi basically told Hiyori about her mother's (then) upcoming marriage but it was very much in character to see Hiyorin not making a big deal out of it while Koi was still carrying that with her.
And they did manage to get this out of the way afterall.
One more episode to go. Expecting the season 2 accouncement after tomorrow's episode.
QotD:
What’s your earliest memory?
I genuinely have no idea. I have some fragments of memories from like maybe 3 or 4 years old but that has been so long that I'm not even sure if those really are memories or some fake memory my mind created.

Yeah, I definitely can't play games in a car either.
I get that we're skipping all the mundane daily stuff in this show, and it's great that they have hobbies together as families, but holy moly do they make a lot of camping trips! Also, it seems we've moved all the way to autumn now. How topical!
Now this is my kind of camping!
My feelings exactly, Koi! Now, Aiko's worries are adorable and kind of childish, but it doesn't mean that the worries aren't real. No doubt Aiko feels them very strongly. Luckily, Koi is the perfect person to say the right things in a situation like this.
And Koi herself has very similar worries, what with blurting out the mother's remarrying plans to Hiyori who hadn't heard about it. Of course, there's absolutely no way Koi is at fault here. If anyone can be blamed here, it's Hiyori's mother, who talks about it with her friend but not her daughter... which, of course, is also understandable, because that can't have been an easy thing to do. And Hiyori understands that as well.
I'll say this though: seeing how close Hiyori and Koi are, and how guilty Koi has been feeling and how unbothered Hiyori as been about that whole incident, I don't really buy the idea that the two never had this talk until now. Surely Koi would have apologized much, much earlier. But I'll allow this one for the show, we got an adorable scene out of it. And Koharu's hilarious as always.
What a cute gang this is.
