School Trip At the End of the World ch1

Satsuki~ Mei's so tired...

I told you these tracks weren't meant for people to walk on, didn't I?

...Mei is a Martian.
Same for Martians.
Mei's tired.

We're almost there, so hang in there.
!

We're here! Shibuya!
You sure got your energy back quickly.

Here's that Tama guy!
It's Hachi.

!

Touchdown~!!

...What are you doing?
You don't know? When you're at the Scramble Crossing, you're supposed to lay down and call for a hero!

Where did you learn such nonsensical knowledge.
Mei's not the weird one. You just don't know about it, Satsuki.

...Well excuse me for being ignorant.
Ow ow! Don't bully Mei! You'll spark an intergalactic war!

More importantly, isn't that what you were interested in, Mei?
!

1*9!!!!!
The place every high schooler in the galaxy yearns for!

You really can see it from Scramble Crossing.
Just like Granny said.

If we walk through Dougenzaka's entrance...
and head towards Bunkamura Street's crossing...

An obstical.
Whyyyyyyy!?

Mars Jump! No good!!
What are you? A moustached plumber?

Hup.

Here. Give me your hand.

That's Satsuki for you. You may be stupid, but you're really athletic.
...Want me to drop you?
Sorry.

We've finally reached 1*9!

Satsuki! Let's take photos at the hotspots by the staircase on floors 1 to 7!!
How do you know about those?

It's common knowledge for high schoolers!
Let's get some cute clothes too!

1*9's all gone...

Cheer up. There's still more places you wanna go to, right?

...That's right!

Thank you, Satsuki~ I love you~
Yeah, yeah. Me too.

School Trip At the End of the World ch2

...It sure is cold.

Your coffee's all heated up~
...As convenient as ever you are.
Fufufu.

Martian science iiiiiis
ze finest in ze voooorld!

It's all thanks to Mei's capable temperature control ability.
It can make coffee all snugly and warm
or crisp up concrete like cheese on a pizza.
It can do anything!
Yeah, yeah. You've told me 10 times already.

So with that said, here ya go!
Thanks.

...This place
is the same as in Granny's photo.

...To think people used to crowd around here.
I can hardly believe it.

You mean you don't know, Satsuki!?

Rush Hour!
People from all around the world gathered here!

As knowledgeable as ever I see.
Right~!?

Going by Granny's photo,
it looks fun.

...
If I were in this place wearing these clothes too...

...

Cheer up.

I'm glad you're here, Mei.
Right~!?
You'd be worthless without Mei around, Satsuki.
...You may be right.
Eh? What was that?
...It's nothing.

School Trip At the End of the World ch3

Where is it~?

What are you looking for?
Tada.
Here's a quiz for you.

What steals the soul of whatever it takes~?
...Ugh. Something annoying again.

The correct answer is, a Polaroid!!
Don't you mean a camera?

You didn't know? It's common knowledge that high school girls capture each other's souls and play with them.
...Hey, Mei, do you think I'm some kind of idiot?

Of course not~ It's true~
Sounds fishy to me.

Satsuki! Look at all the cameras!
Ooh.

Hmm...

Satsuki.
Satsuki.

Granny.
Smile~ Say cheese~

There~ I got a good one~

Come to think of it, we were always taking photos together.
So why didn't we take any photos of the two of us...?

Satsuki~

This is a Polaroid.
...Hmm.

Next is~

Found it!!
...Found what?

An album.

There's nothing in it, though...
You don't get it, Satsuki~

This is for keeping the commemorative photos of our journey~

Commemorative photos, huh... Just like the school trips Granny mentioned...
Huh!?

Satsuki! That's it! Our journey is actually a school trip!!
Is Mei a genius or what!?
What are you talking about?

Let's fill this album up with the best memories!!
Yeah, sure~

School Trip at the End of the World ch4

I got caught in a trap - Mei

We're here~ This is Kabukichou.
Today will be a little bit for the adults.
Eh? Why?

Are you paying attention, Satsuki~? There are some very kind misters here~
who introduced me to some fun stores.
Hmm. Humanity must've been really intense back in those days.

There are fun stores on the second floor of little buildings like these.
Is this gonna be okay? It's not gonna collapse, is it?

It'll be fine~
Yay~
Wah. Wait, wait.

Hey there, Pres. Where'd you come from today?
Who's that supposed to be?
Kh~ So coool!
In what way?

Champagne, coming up~
Listen to me!

You really don't know anything, Satsuki.

You make a tower out of these glasses and pour water on top.
And that's fun?

You won't know unless you try!
For now, let's gather up lots of glasses.
Fine~

Found one!
Here too.

Let's pile them up~
This is pretty exciting.

It's done~!

Ah...

I-I think I may have made a fundamental mistake...
No, I knew they were gonna fall over.

Let's try this again!
Woah~
Eh~!?

Yeah~
Khh~
Woo~

How about this!?
So few!

So shabby! That's way too shabby!
That's different from what I expected!

But it was surprisingly fun.
Kyahahaha
Hahaha
Right~!? The champagne tower is ready~

School Trip at the End of the World ch5

Found the entrance to the dungeon! - Mei

Now then, our next stop is
Shinjuku Station!!
No, we just got here.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
There's somewhere we haven't been yet.

The underground dungeon!
Eh...?
What is this?

This is
an underground maze where treasure hunters gather.
What's more, many don't make it back alive...
It's a terrifying place.
Woah, scary...

Be careful, Satsuki.
If we get seperated, you'll never see Mei again.

I don't mind.
I'll just go back to being alone.

Why would you say something so sad!?
I mean,
you're lying about this being a maze, right?

How'd you find out?
You're making me angry.
Sorry.

It's actually an underground town with rushing trains, platforms and ticket gates.
A place where lots of people went about their business!
The passageways had lots of restaurants and shops!

There's no way that would exist in a dark place like this.
Are you sure about this?
I'm telling the truth this time!

Seriously?

Cafés and curry shops!
There's cream puffs too!

Ah, a clothes store.
I wonder if there's something I can wear.

No good~
I can't wear this.
Let's go somewhere else.

Huh?
...Mei?

Don't just go off somewhere...

If we get seperated, you'll never see Mei again.

Meiii!

Huh?
So this is where you were, Satsuki.
Don't just go off somewhere. You had Mei worried.

Don't screw around, you!
Why are you suddenly bullying Mei!?

So...
where were you?

Mei found these.
When high schoolers are good friends, they have the same items.

Here! We match!

...Thank you.

Finally out~
Why did you forget where the entrance was?
How long were we down there?
I've had enough of dark places.
Like you're one to talk.

Where should we go next?
Let's go somewhere bright next~

School Trip at the End of the World ch6

We filled the trolley up!! - Mei

We've arrived at Shin'ookubo!

This feels
somewhat different.
What are we gonna do here?

We're gonna look for food here.
Here?

Shin'ookubo is a town of foreign cusine that is popular with high school girls.

Let's search for delicious food!
Right, Satsuki!?
Eh~ It's a pain to make them.

Eh~?
I was never taught how to cook.

I tried making something myself

and it didn't taste good.

Food just needs to be edible...
As long as there's nutrients, anything's fine...

Ah.

Poor poor Satsuki~
To think you don't know the deliciousness of cooking!

Mei's gonna treat you to something delicious!
You don't have to...

I can't read these at all.
Beans?
Miso and soy sauce?
Gochujang
and nam pla~
You sure these aren't rotten?
Let's check them.

What's this smell...?
It's green curry. High schoolers get addicted to their flavor.
That sounds fishy.

Let's dig in~

So sweet~!
Delici-...

Spicy!
You okay?

Is it not spicy for you, Satsuki?
It's not that spicy...

It's strange.
It starts off as sweet but gets spicy when you eat it.
But it's delicious.

It has an intense flavor
just like Granny's cooking.

...It's delicious.

Right~!?

I couldn't taste anything back when I was alone...
That's fine, ain't it?
That's fine, ain't it?

It's surely cos there's two of us
that it's delicious.

You may be right.
Thanks for the food.

School Trip at the End of the World ch7

We're at Ikebukuro~ - Mei

For Mei's next trick~
an impression of a fur seal!

Ork ork

I had no idea there was an aquarium in this Ikebukuro building.
You really don't know anything, Satsuki~

That being said, though...

there's no fish here.

Weedy seadragon?
Wonder what that was like?

A dragon... The one I saw in a book
was something like this...
I'm sure it's like this!
That's probably not it.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha

A dragon's attacking!
There's no way there is.

It's a penguin~

A penguin.
I've never seen one before.

So they can live even in a place like this.
What a sturdy fellow.

It's really clinging to me.
It wants to play with you, Satsuki.

It must've been lonely being the only one here.

If you're lonely,
wanna come with us?

Oh my. It has friends.
That's good.

...I guess so.

Pen Pen Pyoko Pyoko

What's that?
Mei's penguin impression!

Does it sound like them?

Not in the slightest!
Satsuki, you bully!

School Trip at the End of the World ch8

A secret has appeared - Mei

Finally... We're finally here...

Akibahara!!
That's Aki"haba"ra.

Geez! You're not excited at all, Satsuki!
It's Akiba! Akiba!!
You're just overly excited.

It's no exaggeration to say Akiba is packed with everything this planet has to offer...
That is an exaggeration.

To tell you the truth, Akiba is one of the reasons Mei fell in love with Japan~
You've told me countless times already.

~No, no, no~
But Akiba really is a fun place!!

It's the holy ground for so-called "subculture media"!
Subculture media?

And the most exemplary spot here is...
Don't ignore me.

Here!!
The maid café!!

There's no point in coming to Japan if you don't come here!!
This doesn't exactly fill me with interest, though.

Mei knew you'd say that!
I've got a bad feeling...
So Mei had a thought!

Mei will teach you the joys of the maid café, Satsuki!

If Mei becomes a maid and serves Satsuki~
Satsuki will learn what's great about maids!!

Welcome home, my master!
Aren't you gonna let me in?

What will your order be?
I recommend the hardtack
and the hardtack!

Mmm. A taste I'm used to.

It's time for the magic that makes it delicious!
Moe moe~ kyun~

Dig in!

Is it good!?
...Yeah, it's good.
Right~!?

Next is the Polaroid!
So maids call them Polaroids too, huh?

Say cheese~<3

...What's this?
For Polaroids like this, you make your hands like this!

Lastly, it's time to see the master off!
Come back the day before yesterday!
You trying to pick a fight?

What did you think? How'd you like the maid service?
Hmm...

Rather than being served,

I think I like it better
when we're together like this.

Say that again, please!
Like I'm gonna do that.

School Trip at the End of the World ch9

First One There - Mei

Uuh~...
Mei's legs are all cold...
It's because we've been walking along this submerged area all this time...

Are we at our next destination yet?
Ah!

We're finally here!
The much admired Tokyo Big Site!
Kya~<3
I feel like I've been hearing that phrase a lot recently...

Tokyo Big Site
is the largest exhibition hall in Japan.

It was host to all kinds of events!

And the biggest event of them all was...

Comic Market! Comiket for short!

Comiket was a super hype event where people bring homemade books and merchandise known as doujinshi works.
Most of the time, it attracted over 750,000 Earthlings over four days! When you consider that famous War of Sekigahara consisted of just 160,000 soldiers, you can tell how impressive those numbers are, right!?
It was so popular that rude people would appear and use the black magic of the night to sneak in and buy up all the popular magical girl goods.

blah blah blah blah

That fast talk is scary...

But that's not the only fun thing about Comiket.
That's why today...

we're gonna dress up as characters and play Comiket!
Eh? I didn't bring any other clothes...

Mei actually picked up a few things back in Akihabara!
You're well prepared.

Incidentally, Mei's tentacles can be used as a changing room!
How convenient.

...What is this...? Aren't you embarrassed???
Of course not!
Anyone can look good with the right clothes!
That's not a compliment.

This is fun!!!!!!
I guess it's fine if you're enjoying it, Mei...

Let's keep it up~!

Satsuki! Let's wear these clothes next!
Can't we take a quick break...?

Comiket is pretty hardcore...

...I don't know much about Comiket,
but this... is a pretty nice place.

Mufufufu

Mei's glad she got to play Comiket with you, Satsuki~
Yeah.

Except bicycles.

Why is this bear black and white? - Mei

Hah~
The sunlight is so warm...
It's heavenly.

It has been cold these past few days, after all.
Mei's sick of snow already~!!

Mei, saying stuff like that is just gonna make it snow again.
Are you a heartless snow queen, Satsuki!?
No, I'm not.

But
long ago, the weather didn't change suddenly change every day.
There was apparently a season where it stayed with this kind of weather.
I think they called it "spring".

Nice and warm~

...Ah.

Cherry blossoms...!

Oh my! So these are cherry blossom flowers!
The main star of Japan's most famous festival,
the flower viewing party!
The heck is that?

Everyone gathers together
and eat something called Dumplings Over Flowers. [tn: "hana yori dango", a phrase meaning "function over aesthetic"]
Over flowers...
They're ignoring the main star.

These cherry blossoms are smaller than I expected~
I don't think so? I think it's just the tree that's small...

Ah!
Mei, over here!

Wah~!

Amazing~!
It's so pretty, Granny.

I wish they could always be in full bloom.

That's no good, Satsuki.

Granny...?

All of these flowers
will fall someday.

All of these flowers will fall like snow!?
Mei wants to see it!
Mei's sure it'll be pretty!

They can't stay in full bloom forever.
I love seeing the cherry blossoms fall, after all.
See? Pretty, right?
You think so...?
You'll learn someday, Satsuki.

I guess so.
They'll probably start falling tomorrow.
Mei's looking forward to it!
For now, how about we take a picture with the cherry blossoms while they're in full bloom?

School Trip at the End of the World ch11

Big whale! - May

...
...

One hour earlier.
It's a pond.

It's Shinobazuno Pond.
It used to be a date spot.

People had dates here?
Riding boats on here was a staple.

Ah... We can catch some fish for dinner...
Good grief.
That's not romantic at all...

If we're talking romance, these kinds of lakes usually have a master.
Master?

We gotta catch it!

Not a single bite.
Well, we weren't gonna catch it that easily.

A bite!

Wah!!
May!

This had gotta be the master!

Uwaaaaah!!

I thought I was gonna die...
You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine...
Achoo

It's warm.
Hah~...
Right~?

That had to have been the master.
We'll catch it next time!
No, not happening.
Eh~?

Satsuki & May's street performance - May

What a weird doodle.
You're wrong, Satsuki.
This is art!

Culture~

Shimokitazawa has a different kind of subculture from what you'd find in Akiba,
such as music, theater, movies, etc...
Shutter art is just one of them.

May just loves it.
Earth culture really is the best!
Hmm~

Art is someone saying "I was here"...
It's proof of their existence!

Proof...
That sounds pretty majestic somehow.
May's decided.

We're gonna leave behind proof that we existed too!
Huh?

You paint something too, Satsuki!
Eh!?

I'm not sure what to paint.

Just paint whatever you're feeling in the moment.
Art is an explosion, after all!

Uryaaa~!!

Hmm...

That's it, Satsuki!

Keep on painting.
Hrng~ This is hard.

Something like this?

That's great!
There there.
You've got a talent for this, Satsuki!

...It's done.
The masterpiece of the century!

What do you think, Satsuki?
...Yeah.
Well...

It was kinda fun, I guess?

School Trip at the End of the World ch13

Triple-wielding didn't work - May

Woah, it's huge.
This is the fabled Tokyo Dome.

People used to measure how big something was by saying it was "as big as x Tokyo Domes".
Ahem.
Heh~

I don't really get it myself.
That's only the first part.

There's a lot of stuff here, but over there is...

An amusement park!
Aah, is that where they do handshakes or something?
How'd you know that?

Okay! Let's ride a bunch of rides!

They're not moving at all!!
Uwoooooah~!
Well yeah, obviously.

Ah! Satsuki! May wants to ride that!
A rollercoaster?
No, that's gotta be broken.

I guess you slide down that slope in a trolley?
People back then thought of some strange things.

May, how about thi-...

afterimage

Huh?

Satsuki~
!!

May!

Man~ What a view~
Hey, May. When did you get up there?

That's dangerous! Come down right now!
May's doing fine~

You're such a worrywart, Satsu-
ki!

Oh?

MAAAAAY!

No. It can't be...
We finally became friends.

May...!!

May!!

Phew~
Nyahahaha...
That was pretty thrilling~

Hm?
What's wrong, Satsuki?

YOU IDIOT!!

I thought you were gonna die...

...
...

...May's sorry...

As a punishment, you're making dinner tonight, Mei!
Eh~ Satsuki, you demon~

School Trip at the End of the World Ex episode 1:

May! Behind you!! Behind you!! - Satsuki

Hey... May.

Are we really going to pass through here?
Fufu. Satsuki... This place here...

is a super spooky haunted spot
that's perfect for tests of courage.

They say those who pass through here are never heard from again...
and their souls wander around forever.
Eeh~... Let's stop...

Come on! Don't worry!
May's a martian, so she's sure you can make friends with ghosts too!

By the time we're out, you'll have made 1000 ghost friends!
I really don't want that...

You got it, Satsuki?
You lose if you get scared.
You gotta be friendly!
H-Hey.
Don't go too far ahead.

Still, there sure are a lot of doodles.
They must be messages from people who wanted to make contact with the ghosts!

We should make ourselves known to the ghosts too.
Us too?

Tada~

Hrm...

There's no ghosts around...
They're not gonna show up just like that...

That's it!

Even if we can't see them with our eyes, in Polaroids...

Do you see it...?

There it is~
Eeeeeeeeeeeeep!!
This is your tentacle, isn't it?

Tch. You have no dreams, Satsuki.
Well excuse me.

Satsuki, you moron!

Moron...
Moron...
Moron...
Moron...
Moron...

Uuh...
All this walking and we haven't found a single human bone.
Don't say such disturbing things.

Look.

We're almost at the exit.

Ah... It's too soon to give up!
That's right...
May's sure the end of this tunnel is connected to another world...

That must be where the people who were spirited away are!
Ah, hey!

Mei...

Waaah! Look at those fireflies!
How nostalgic.
I used to look at these with Granny.

We didn't see any ghosts,
but this was nice in it's own way.
Yeah!

Satsuki!
Do you think we were spirited away just now?
Maybe.

Obligatory pose - May

Hah~ How much further do we have to climb?

You can still turn back if you want. I heard they had an elevator back then, though.

No! May will do her best!

Just 300 more steps!!

I want to remember your Granny, Satsuki!
That's true, but...

You get a great view~
Especially after going through the trouble of climbing up it with my own two legs!!

Eh~ I wanna see it too~
Ahaha. I wouldn't. It's all bent out of shape now so it's dangerous.

But still, Tokyo Tower is a staple of a school trip!
Seriously?

May's getting hyped up now!!

Ah.

This is bad!

MAAAY!!

Don't underestimate a Martian!
Nyahahaha!

Idiot! Don't act so cocky!
...

...But I'm so glad
that you're okay, May.
Satsuki~

Let's get back on track and climb this thing!
But the stairs...

But nothing! Tentacle Welding~
Ooh~

We're here...

The viewing platform...

So this is where Granny stood.
Quite the view, huh!!

I wanna see! I wanna see!

Okay! May wants to keep going until we reach space!
Moron~ I'll die.

School Trip at the End of the World ch14

...Hm?

Eh...? A shooting... star... in the daytime...?
Wait...

It's heading this way!?

Wh-What the...?

A person...?

Hooray!!
High schoolers really do exist!!

...Eh?
Wh-What?

Apologies! I'm a MARTIAN! Here to study up on Japanese high schooler culture!
[unintelligable]
is my name!
Aah... A martian, huh... What was your name again?

Ah. Guess Earthlings can't make our our names very well.
Erm, what might your name be?

...Satsuki.

Satsuki. The fifth month. ...That means "May", right?
It's because I was born in May.
Well, seasons are meaningless on Earth these days, though.

Then I'll be May! The fifth month!
Satsuki and May! A wonderful pair!

...D-Don't just pair us up without asking.
Eh~ We must've been destined to meet here from a previous leaf!

I think you mean a previous "life", not "leaf". Some kind of destiny that would be.
Ooh! You know your stuff!
Fufufu. You really are the perfect choice for my partner!!

I've decided!
Satsuki! Let's journey across Japan together!!

...I don't know anything besides what Granny taught me, though?

That's more than enough! I'm just glad to have a travel companion regardless of how pathetic she is!
I wouldn't say I'm pathetic.

You were really excited at first, May.

May didn't know back then how stupid you were, Satsuki.

And I didn't think you'd be such a handful, May.
Wah~ No bullying the May!

Oh? You two.

What is a Martian doing in a place like this with a human?

Waaaaaaaaah!

To be continued in volume 2!!

p3-4

An immigration officer mecha from Mars suddenly appears.

I'm an anti-earthling interface from the Bureau of Immigration!

And it has a shocking announcement to share.

May, you are to be deported back to Mars.

The time limit is one year.

In order to give meaning to their school trip,

Hokkaido.
Touhoku.
Hokuriku.
Kyoto.
Hiroshima.
Kyuushuu.
We're gonna experience the staple landmarks of a school trip!
I see.

and to keep May from being deported...
they'll journey across the entire country in search of magestic landmarks!

A whale!?

School Trip at the End of the World ch15

What is this?
That's...

An anti-earthling interface from the Bureau of Immigration!
So you're an Earthling, huh? Do you wish to migrate?

No thanks!
Is that so?

Well then, Martian, you should be avoiding contact with Earthlings outside of the Bureau of Immigration.
That is Martian policy.
At this rate,

you will have to be deported back to Mars.

...I'm going to be seperated from May...?
What do I do...?

...May.

That's oppression. The Martian government have such stubborn brains!
May and Satsuki are on a school trip!
School trip... Accessing database...
"A school trip is an excursion-like school event associated with a student's education in which they move in groups and lodge together to study by observation." Is that correct?

That's wrong!
A school trip is...

all about making priceless memories!!

Priceless?

You mean it is something with a value that cannot be measured by a specific price?
Exactly!
Gathering a consensus from the higher ups. Please wait a moment.

p10

...A consensus with the higher ups has been reached.
You will be given a grace period.
Please demonstrate the usefulness of this "school trip".

...Eh?

You mean we can continue our school trip?
Correct.
Ooh! May knew you'd understand!
However,

after one year has passed, you must present your findings on the entirety of Japan.
If there are any issues, you will be deported.
No way! We can't walk across the entirety of Japan in a year. Can't you give us a handicap?

p11

In that case, you will be granted access to the Environmental Protection Agency's warpgates.

We can use warpgates!?
What are those?

They are dotted all across Japan.
Please use these to conduct your "school trip".

This is way too amazing!!

p12

So what does that mean exactly?
Hmph!!
Foolish Satsuki. Allow May to explain!

Hokkaido.
Touhoku.
Hokuriku.
Kyoto.
Hiroshima.
Kyuushuu.
We're gonna experience the staple landmarks of a school trip!
I see.

Warp Gate License Key and Gate Map have been transferred.

Well then, I look forward to seeing you in a year.

p13

Okay, Satsuki!
The second chapter of our school trip has begun!!
R-Right!

School Trip at the End of the World ch16

Where's the clock tower? - May

This is a warpgate!
Ooh!

Martian technology is ze finest in ze vorld!
Let's just go already.

Okay. Our destination is the North.

The challenging land.

Hokkaido!

We're at the the northernmost point in Japan,
Souya Peninsula!

Wait. The northenmost point in Japan... So this is where Japan ends?
That's right.
That's way too extreme.

Whatever. What's our goal here?

We're gonna look at ice floes!
Ice floes?

Ice floes are these big slabs of ice!
They're frozen parts of the Siberian river that drift all the way here to Japan. It's a beautiful sight to behold!

Heh~ I thought ice is made when it's cold.
!

That's right! There's no way to make ice floes in this climate!
...So this is the challenging land.

Huh? May, look over there.
?

There's something drifting this way?
An ice floe!?

Waaaah!

That's no ice floe!
That's...!

A whale!?

Amazing...

That's gotta be the master of the sea!

Can we go catch it, Satsuki!?
Yeah, that's not happening...

There weren't any ice floes, but we still saw something good.
The bureau's gonna flip when they see this!

School Trip at the End of the World ch17

We found a mascot character - May

Where does this warpgate lead to, I wonder?
They choose places that are easy to perch spaceships on...

Like mountain summits!
We're on top of a mountain...

This is the summit of the Shiga prefecture,
home to the largest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa.
Trending~
The famed "lake archway" was a trendworthy hotspot and was popular with high schoolers too!
You sure about that?

May thinks charismatic high schoolers may have passed through these mountain trails...
May is intensely moved right now...
I wonder about that...

Totally mountain climbing~

Let's take a wonderful photo
to show how useful our school trip is~
Yeah~

M-May's exhausted...
We can't find it anywhere.

For starters, with all these trees around
I can't really see where the lake is.

Question mark
Question mark

May doesn't know if the archway's there either.

The weather's getting bad.
Should we call it quits this time?

...May?
...

Please demonstrate the usefulness
of this "school trip".
Let's take a wonderful photo
to show how useful our school trip is~

M-May...
...

Uuh~

May's all fired up now~!!
Woooooah!!
You're just fine.
Hah~

Overcoming adversity to reach a destination...
is what romance is all about!
Yeah~
That so?

Besides...

May wants us both to see the same scenery
that moved people back then, Satsuki.

Let's keep at it a little longer then.
High schoolers brimming with motivation can do anything!
We'll find that archway for sure!

Wah...
It's pretty~

I wonder if this is what people felt like back then?
It's make May happy is that were so~

...Shall I try taking the photo today?
Sounds good~ Let's take lot of photos
of the both of us!

School Trip at the End of the World ch18

We'll laugh until we fall down - Mei

There's a weird tower...
We're here... We're here!

It's Osaka, y'all~!

Osaka is the biggest city in West Japan.
It's a city of money-grubbers that was developed through use of the sea and canals since ancient time!
...Was that an insult you mixed in there?

It build up a lot of unique culture in various genres such as business, performing arts and food.
It's gotten various nicknames such as "The Water Capital", The World's Kitchen", "Gluttony Town", "One Takoyaki Machine Per Household" and "Eternal Reunion"!
There was definitely an insult mixed in, wasn't there...?

So, what are we doing today? Exploration? Cooking?
Both great ideas, but...

Osaka's hidden side...
is that it's a country of comedic carnage...
So today, we're holding the W-1 Grand Prix~!!!

May will have you rolling on the floor with laughter, Satsuki!
Heh... Why don't you try it?

Entry No. 1 - May the Martian

Hey there~!
Good aftermeown~!
May, the queen of laughter, is gonna win this, you little!

Today, May will use these futons to make you burst into laughter!

Futons...?
Where did those come from...?

A futon~
a futon~
and a futon~...

weigh a few tonnes~!!!

Ah.

May... Your futons fell in the river...
Futons weighing a few tonnes is such a bad pun... To hell with them!
Forgeddabout it!
Thank you very much~!

Wait.
That was it~!!!!?

...Ni-
Ni--
Ni-
Awawa...
Ni...?

Nice retort!!!!!!!
Eeeh~...

May's been a solo act up until today,
but that ends today...

The Mays

Starting now, we're gonna aim for the comedy crown as a duo~!

...Are you stupid or something?
Hah...
How cruel!!

...
...For starters,

The two of us
have been a duo ever since we met,
so we're gonna keep being a duo, right?

Let's become the greatest duo in Japan~!
Yeah, yeah.

School Trip at the End of the World ch19

Gyu-tan is more a bleh - Satsuki

Warp complete!! We're here~ Tanabata in Sendai!!
Ooh~

But still, Sendai was famous for Tanabata festivals, huh?
It's more than that. There's Data Masamune.

Zunda mochi, hagi no tsuki, sasakama, Mt. Jougi's fried tofu, the Great Kannon.
Where do you get all of this knowledge from?

There's plenty more, but first and foremost...

Having Tanabata in Sendai
is chic!!
That's why May went through the trouble of bringing this huge bamboo through the warpgate.
You're enjoying this way too much.

I've heard stories about Tanabata, but is this really what it's like?

Eh? You've never done Tanabata, Satsuki?
You could get any wish you wanted granted!
I'm too old for it.

Over here, Satsuki~
Ah, right.

But if I remember correctly... Orihime and Hikoboshi only get to see each other once a year, right...?
Not being able to see someone you want to see is rough.

You're so dumb, Satsuki~
Good grief~

Huh!?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Listen closely. If they meet once a year,
how many times do you think the planets Vega and Altair would meet between their birth and death?

?
By my calculations based on a planet's approximate lifespan,

it would be 8 billion times.
That many!?

If they got to meet everyday, it'd be 8 billion x 365 days.
That's approximately 2.92 trillion times!!
That's way too astronomical...

That's right.
The two people who get to spend the most time together in the entire universe

are Orihime and Hikoboshi!!

Even if they could only see each other once every 10,000 years, it'd still be more than enough~
T-True... It'd still be 80,000 times...

Hah~

That's pretty grand.

But as far as wishes are concerned, it has to be this, right?
That's right. The most important wishes are the ones you grant yourself.
This much is perfect!
Like you're one to talk.

Now then, where should we go next?
Gotta hit Comiket for summer!!
No, we went there the other day, didn't we!?
Good things are good no matter how many times you go~

I pray that we can have a fun Tanabata together again next year!! - Satsuki - May

School Trip at the End of the World ch20

Hey!! Shisa! - May

When you think of school trips...
you think Okinawa!!

The ocean again?
You got a problem with that!?

The Okinawan beaches are brimming with charm!
Blue seas. White sand.
Colorful tropical fish.
Coral reef all around.
Ruins at the bottom of the sea.
The romanticness doesn't stop!

Well, it's certainly a pretty beach...

Ah.

Ooh! Star-shaped sand.
That's "starsand".

It's cute.
It's the dead remains of a lifeform known as foraminifera.
So much for the romance.

Let's chase each other on this white beach while saying "catch me if you can"!
Ahahahahaha
I'll pass.

More importantly, we should find somewhere to rest.
I'm getting hungry.

Is this... perhaps
a gravesite?

So this is a gravesite!!
It's cute like a little house.
It's just like the one I saw in Granny's books.

May's kind doesn't have this kind of strange culture~
Martians don't have gravesites?

On Mars, we normally send the dead off into space. We return them to the sky.
...Sorry, I don't get it.

So there's humans in here, huh~
Come on, let's go.

! May knows!

Let's eat lunch here!
Eeeh!?

What are you thinking!?
Well y'know~

If we all eat together,
the people in the graves would enjoy it too!

Granny, graves are scary, huh?
Not at all.

It's fun getting to talk with your ancestors.

...Alright.
We'll eat here today.
Yay~!

May made a mess - May

We're here at Yokohama Chinatown!

May says Chinatown, but we're in Japan, not china.
I know that. You don't have to mock me.

It's a place with hundreds of stores selling delicious Chinese food.
I've never eaten Chinese food before.

May will make some for you next time!

Next time?
What are we doing today?

When you think of Chinatown, there's one other thing it's famous for!

Fortune telling!

Fortune telling?

You don't know what fortune telling is!?
It's that thing where they look into your future, right?

I'm not really interested.

Not interested in fortune telling...?

You're a failure
of a high schooler!

Eeeh...?

When you think high schoolers, you think fortune telling! When you think fortune telling, you think high schoolers!
Wooah
You're saying random things again.

May's gonna teach you
the joys of fortune telling!

Let's tell your fortune right away.
This is bad!

Madam, May sees into your future.
May sees it.

Tonight's dinner will be curry!

That's because we gotta use the leftover curry from yesterday.

Can you even tell fortunes, May?
Fortune telling is easy for a Martian!
The heck?

Your name is Satsuki.
You're a Japanese high schooler who loves your Granny!
You're here today on a school trip!
That's common knowledge!! What about the fortune telling?

And right now, you're
in love,
aren't you!?

Nope.

Why not!? When you think of high schoolers getting their fortune told, it's obviously fortunes about love!
Who am I supposed to be in love with?

Going from love fortunes to love talk is an ironclad rule!
It's the springtime of youth!
Like I would know.
Hah~

But even if it's not love
it would be nice if you found someone precious, Satsuki.

If it's someone precious, I think I already have one?

This is serious news! Who is it!?
Tell May!

The springtime of youth is here!
This is what high schoolers are all about!

Try and guess with your fortune telling.
Wha!?
No, May's got it! It's your Granny, right!?
She's precious too, but no.
Fgyah!

School Trip at the End of the World ch22

Big clouds - May

That's the EnoDen for you!! It's got charm!

What are you talking about?
Eeh!? You don't know what the EnoDen is, Satsuki!?

Allow May to teach you why everyone loves Eno-Den.
The Enoshima Electric Railway, "EnoDen" for short, offers a lot of different views despite only being 10km long.
Hmmm~

...Rumors say you could run alongside it with a bicycle
and stores flourished because of it.
What kind of rumors are those?

So with that said,

let's go search for corpses!!
Can I go home?

Wait, wait!
Let's play Stand By Me!
Stand By Me?

It's a famous movie about young boys looking for corpses during their summer vacation.
What's that got to do with EnoDen?
Nothing!

But if you're walking along a rail track, you gotta play Stand By Me!
Okay, I got it.

We found it~ A train's corpse.
Work on your phrasing...

It's kinda sad. This train used to happily run around and be loved by all.
I would've like to have seen it run...

Wh-What!?

The train is moving!?

The EnoDen is back to life!

All aboard!!

Amazing! Amazing!

A dream, huh...

Thank you for your hard work, EnoDen.

School Trip at the End of the World ch23

Hey, welcome! - May

Now then!

We're here! Fukuoka!
Dazaifu Tenmanguu!

Why a Shinto shrine?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
This place is perfect for a high schooler like you, Satsuki...

This is, after all,
the shrine of the God of Study!

Study, huh... Everything I needed to know I learned from Granny.
That may be true for now, but...!

Lots of exam takers
would come here to pray for their success!

In other words, it's a "super hotspot"
that no high schooler should miss out on...!

Pass

I guess studying was important back in those days.

That aside... it sure is pretty here.
Those are "Japanese apricots", part of the Rosaceae family.
I know that much.

Legend says that when someone important came here long ago,
this white plum blossom came falling from the sky!
Seriously?

It's just like
the time May and Satsuki first met!

Was it as nice as that?

May will have to purify your wicked heart, Satsuki.
Huh?

Tada~! This is the spot!
A bridge?

This is no ordinary bridge!
These three bridges have the power to exorcise wicked thoughts.
May will be your guide as she ferries you across, Satsuki~!

First.
The "past" bridge.

Second.
The "present" bridge.

Third.
The "future" bridge.
...Wait. Ah!?

We're going from the main shrine we warped to... so we're going backwards!
We've gone back in time~!

C-C-C-Calm down!
Let's just start again from the past...

Wah!
Wawah! What is this!?

J-...
Just now...!
May saw it! May saw the past...!

Granny...

Where are you going, Satsuki?
Our future is this way!

...
...Yeah, you're right.

Okay!
Let's go to the next place!

School Trip at the End of the World ch24

Palm-sized Satsuki - May

To think the vegetation would cause the gate to malfunction...
May didn't even consider that...

There's no Satsuki...
May hopes she's okay...

...
Huh?

With Satsuki's reflexes, she probably won't get injured,
though since she's a musclehead, she'd probably go "well, it'll be fine" and move around recklessly.

We're... seperated...? What do I do...?
Well, I'm sure May will come find me... It'll be fine...

But well, Satsuki gets lonely easily, so she's likely going "May~ May~ Fweeeh!!"
Good grief
and searching for May with tears in her eyes, no doubt.

That's probably what May's saying with a smug face right about now...
I can already picture it...

It's been ages... since May wasn't by my side.

It's kinda... lonely.

Not having Satsuki by May's side

feels kinda strange.

Ah.

Ah!

Satsuki!! Found you!
Thank goodness we joined up.
May's glad you're okay! May didn't expect the gate would malfunction!
Is this... the place you were talking about, May?
That's right!

This is one of Hokkaido's most famous spots, Aoi Pond!
It's water accumulated from a dam, but for some reason, this is the only place where it's a beautiful blue color.
By leaving it as is, the pretty blue surface spread even further.

Were you lonely while we were seperated?
Not really~? I don't think I was that lonely.
Eeh~? Then what's with your hand~?
I'm just a little cold, that's all.

School Trip at the End of the World ch25

There's a lot of mountains - May

Amazing. I've never seen Mt. Fuji before.

Volcanic mountains have hot springs!
Today, we're gonna use these to find the phantom secret hot spring!
I wonder if we'll find it...

Or rather,

can those things really find it?
The hot spring.

Of course! Back in the day, Earthlings used that
to find lots of hot springs.
Sounds fishy.
It's the truth!

Mt. Fuji is an active volcano, so there's sure to be a hot spring.
We can use it to take a break!

It's still active...?

That's right! It could erupt at any moment!
Stop that.

Don't worry!

If anything happens, May will protect you!
Ah. Found some peaches.

...

Satsuki, all you've done today is eat.
Eh? That so?

Can't help it. You don't get a chance to eat fresh fruit every day, y'know?
As expected of Yamanashi, the fruit country!

Let's take it easy searching while eating fruit.
Yeah~

Hah~
We're not finding anything.

I can sense the hot spring's "ki", but...
Are you sure the "ki"'s not to blame?

It's already evening, so let's give up for today.

Oooh!!

This time for sure, Satsuki!
Eeh~

If this one doesn't pan out...

let's give... up...

There it is!

Alright! Let's get relaxing!
Is this okay?

Quite the luxury bath, huh?
Fuji~ is the best~ mountain~ in Japan~
True that.

School Trip at the End of the World ch26

Looking for ducks - May

When you think Kyoto, you think temples.
When you think temples, you think the New Year's bell ringing.

So with that said, we're gonna ring the bell!!
As abrupt as ever, I see.

The New Year's bell ringing is Japan's biggest event.
There are many theories, but the most common one is to ring it 108 times for each worldly desire.

We should ring it 108 times too!

That's huge!!

It looks really old. Is this gonna be okay?
We just have to ring it with this, right?

Torya~~~!!

Wah~

You okay?
May didn't have enough energy~

You help out too, Satsuki!
Eh~!?

Here we go~
Yeah, yeah.

There~!!

Swing it back and forth!
More!
More and more~!!

Here we go, May!
One!
Two!
Three!

We did it~
It was a success!
Hah~

Do we really have to do this 107 more times?

W-Well, we can leave it at that for today.
Something always seems to break when you're around, May.

School Trip at the End of the World Ex Episode 1

The Rainbow Bridge is blocked off!!

Eh?

You're right...
There's a closed sign...

It's still pretty sturdy, but they had a point.
It would've been dangerous for cars to go across this thing.

Although there's no cars around these days, so prohibiting them doesn't really do anything.

With this, we can't pretend that the Rainbow Bridge
isn't blocked off!

We can't pretend that it isn't?

I mean, if it's pretend, you don't have to worry about it, right?
It's foolish to pretend it isn't when it clearly is in real life!

The Rainbow Bridge not being blocked off
is a classic scene from TV dramas!
May had a phase when she was really into TV and dramas.
So you're biased from watching those?

Watching TV dramas back then filled May with dreams.
They gave May energy.

They had a unique flavor to them.
It seeps into you.

It's a shame we can't pretend the blockade isn't there, but it's not like that's the only reason we came here.

Let's walk across the Rainbow Bridge!!

Okay, let's go.
W-W-Wait for May!

Rainbow Bridge has two layers, with a pathway running across the lower layer.
It was also a driving spot where you could enjoy the sights of Tokyo!

If you can walk here, you can walk anywhere!
Hah~...
She's saying bothersome things again...

Hmm.
Not too shabby.
Right!?

Also, the Rainbow Bridge promenade has a north route and a south route, so you can get twice the enjoyment on the way back~!

South
North

Wait, you wanna make a return trip...?

In that case, May, tell your travel companion about the films you saw.
Sounds good! May wants to watch interesting films with you too, Satsuki!
And then you'll want to pretend the blockade isn't there too!
No, I don't know about that.
You definitely will!

School Trip at the End of the World Ex Episode 2

We've arrived at Haneda~!
I wonder if there's a new gate here.

That plane is huge!?

Let's get on, Satsuki!
Eh? Hold on, May!

Ooh~ So this is what the inside of a plain looks like!
Uwah! It's like a house!

It's not moving, of course.
Why would you think it could?

Ah~ Birds live here, huh...

Phew...
May must have it rough too.

Beef or chicken?

Huh?

This is what you think of when you think airplanes!
Asking what you'd like for your in-flight meal.
It's just gonna be hardtack either way, right?

How did you know?
It was obvious.

Well, let's leave the playing around there...

Our main event is the cockpit!
Woah, amazing... There's so many machines!

What are you doing, May?

What do you think I'm doing?
Ufufufu~
No idea.

Wouldn't it be fun to fly in this!?
You moron!

Let's go!
Wait, wait!

Take off!

Why won't it move~!?
You had me worried there.

Come on. Let's leave.

There's something written here?

It seems like it's saying "have a nice trip!" or something.

Then let's have a good school trip next time too.
Of course!

School Trip at the End of the World ch27

Satsuki, this is bad!
This is because you were messing with a wild panda, May!

What do you we do!?

Up there! Escape up there!
Got it!

We managed to escape somehow...
Phew~...

Are you okay?

May's fine.
You don't look find to me.

You go to all these extremes, after all...

Do you have a fever or something?

It's hot!?

Are you okay!?
Your hand! Show me your hand!

Now's not the time for that!

You've got a fever, May!

Don't worry.
May's body is Mars-made.

A fever like this is no...

thing...

May!?

May...
Granny...

MAY!!
DON'T LEAVE ME BY MYSELF!

Beeeeeep

The Immigration Bureau states that if May doesn't regain her consciousness,
she'll be deported back to Mars.

That is correct.

The key to saving May is...

A certain college in Tokyo.

In order to continue their school trip, Satsuki...
Wait for me, May!
must carry on through this ruined world!!

School Trip at the End of the World ch28

May... What's happened to you? Hey, May.

You appear to be in trouble.

You're!?

I'm from the Mars Immigration Bureau. This Martian-type avatar appears to have "broken down".

...Broken down? You mean it's not an illness?

That is a Martian avatar.
A half-organic android.

It is a machine, so it cannot contract illnesses. The user herself is likely fine.

May is... a machine...?

She used her avatar recklessly, causing the battery to overheat. That's what caused the connection with the real user to become cut off.
Can you fix her!?

The transmission can be fixed by linking to this telecommunication equipment, but in order to recharge her untritrium battery, she will need to return to her mothership on Mars.

...You mean
you're taking May away?

That is correct.

No!

No way!
You said you'd wait a year!

I don't want this!

...

...Checking database.

There is a place known as the Tokyo University Institute of General Research Museum
which holds a meteorite from Mars.

There's a chance you can charge her from the untritrium inside it.

So I just gotta get that, right!?

Wait for me, May!

School Trip at the End of the World ch29

Where is it?

Where is that meteorite

that can save May?

I need to find it quickly.

Quickly.

May.

Found it!!

Wait for me, May!

...May's sorry for the trouble she caused...
May!

Don't do anything like that again!
...Satsuki.

Satsuki, May is sorry she didn't tell you that this May
isn't the real May.

May thought that if she told you,
you would come to hate May...

Hah...

Regardless of what you are, May is May.

Satsuki~

Satsuki~ Hurry up~
Yeah, I got it.

Let's go, May!
Okay, Satsuki!

School Trip at the End of the World ch30

Sorry to keep you waiting - May

Today, we've come to Shibuya!
Again?

Isn't 19 gone? What else is there?
19's all gone~!!
You've still got a lot to learn about Shibuya, Satsuki.
You thought it was just a city for fashionable high schoolers!?

There's a planetarium in Shibuya too!
Pla...?

You're so hopeless, Satsuki-kun~ Allow May to teach you!

Get this!
A planetarium is where you can see a perfectly starry sky!
We can look at stars any time, though...

In the past, Tokyo was full of sparkly lights that lit up even the night,
so you couldn't see the stars as well as you can now.
Heh~...

...You don't seem very moved?
Do you even want to see stars that badly...?

No, no! May's sure you'll be delighted when you see them!
And then you'll say "May's amazing!"!!
If you insist...

Let's head down this street!
Shibuya sure has a lot of random slopes...

We're here~!

But the ceiling's gone!!!!
It's got a massive hole in it...

Gaah! The projector's broken too...
Projector?

This projector is supposed to project stars onto the round ceiling...
...

Hey, May. We've been walking a lot, so let's rest here for a bit.
I brought along some snacks!

Agreed!

The wind feels nice.

Huh!? I fell asleep!?

A natural planetarium!!

Incidentally, planetariums were apparently date spots.
...I see.

What's wrong?

A relationship where we can just watch the stars together
might be something special.

Fufufu~
What are you smiling about?
Nothing...!

School Trip at the End of the World ch31

Resuming our school trip

Hm?
This is a rather open area.
!

What's wrong, May?

We've been to all kinds of places,
but we haven't been here yet!

Tokyo Station!!

This is... quite the wreck.
It's been wrecked countless times by all kinds of things!!

It's been wrecked by kaijus

and wrecked by those fighting the kaijus!

It is indeed a place that's famous for destruction!!
Work on your phrasing...

Here, you can get souvenirs from all kinds of places!!
Heh...

There's sure to be souvenirs of the places we've visited so far!
Hmm~...

And of course, Tokyo has its own famous product!
Oh?

T*kyo Banana~!
Everyone who came to Tokyo stocked up on these!

Bananan Bananan

Heh... Banana?

There are banana trees in Tokyo? I haven't seen any.
You're so dumb, Satsuki~ There's no way there'd be bananas in Tokyo!

Then what are they?
They're sweets! Perfect for souvenirs!!

Ah... Souvenirs, huh?
What is it?

Now that I think of it, we're on a school trip, yet we haven't bought a single souvenir!
Do we need any of those?

I'll go look for one right now!
No, looking for one in a panic isn't gonna help.

Satsuki!

Here! A souvenir!

...What's this?
A piece of Tokyo Station!
Eeh...? I guess anything goes for you...
That's right!

Anything's a souvenir is we both have memories of it!

Then here's one from me.
Oh! What's this!?
A rock that looks like dog poop.
Uwaaaaaaaah!

School Trip at the End of the World ch32

What're you acting so cool for? - Satsuki

What do you think, Satsuki?
Shimanto River, often called the last clear river in Japan!

It feels nice.
Right~?

There's more! For you, Satsuki...

I present the river's special partner,
the Super Tornado Hurricane Cyclone Rental Cycle!!
It's completely rusted.

Don't underestimate a Martian's skill!

Ooh~

Even without electricity, riding down slopes makes things easy!
Riding against the river's flow...
feels kinda strange.

We've only just begun, Satsuki.
Now we're at Shimanto River, we gotta cross the "Sunken Bridge"!
Sunken Bridge?

It's a simple bridge that people say was eroded by the rising water.
Its most distinguishing feature...

is that there's no guardrails!

Won't we fall?
Let's cyclone!!
Listen to me!

...

How do you like May's cyclework?
Hey!

!!

Satsukiii!
M-...

Maaaay!!

...
I was really worried...
Hey.

Huh~? Did you want a dip in the wayer too?
...

Idiot!!
You could've broken down again!!

...Satsuki.
You're worried about May's body even though it's an avatar.

...

fine. I guess I'll just stop worrying about you!

Please don't be mad~
That was just a high schooler prank!
Hmm~
Satsukiii~

School Trip at the End of the World ch33

It's a trendworthy spot - May

What's that?
No idea.

Where even is this place?
Probably Yakushima.

Probably...? Quit screwing around.
Peace peace
Judging from this wet forest, May's sure of it!

What did we come here for again?
Did you forget, stupid Satsuki~?

We're gonna catch the master who lives on this island,
present it as proof of the meaning of our trip and leave the Immigration Bureau speechless.
Speechless, you say...

Let's go, go~!

Amazing.
Master~! Where are you, Master~!?

That's dangerous!
Satsuki... Be very quiet...!

Look here, you!

Ma-
You be quiet!

...
...

There really was a master...!
Phew~
And the photo?

Got it.

Nice one.

Hmm~...
What's up?
Well, May thought she sensed the presence of something even bigger than what we just encountered...

No, give it a rest already...
Where is this island's master~!?

School Trip at the End of the World ch34

She made quite the tumble!! - Satsuki

We're arrived~ Yamagata-Zao!
Our goal is the frost covered trees!

It's cold~
What are frost covered trees anyway?

Again? You're so hopeless, Satsuki~
Are you listening? Frost covered trees are

trees that are covered in frost!
So exactly what it sounds like.

They're quite the sight to behold~
Aah... It's the usual routine.

It's gonna be tough to trek through a snowy mountain in this outfit, though.
I see.

But worry not.

There are lifts!!!

Huh? It's moving!?

Martians use them once in a while too.

Why? Can't they fly?
That's prejudice towards Martians~!

Man~ Lifts are awesome!
This doesn't solve the cold thing though, does it?

Come to think of it, they say boys and girls who didn't know each other would ride the lifts together
and become couples whose love could melt the ski slopes in winter.

Heh~ I can't imagine it.
Hey there, Missy.

What say we go for some Diamond Ramen* after this?
The heck is that...?
Achoo

*A famous product of Zao's Diamond Valley Ski Slope.

It must be cold because I'm not moving around.
You're so hopeless, Satsuki.

Gya~ Don't move so suddenly!

There. Feels warmer if I do this, right?
Ah... Yeah...

Ah, over there!

So pretty~
Moreso than I could've possibly imagined.

Right!?
Let's go to even more places after this!
Hey! I told you not to shake it around!

It stopped...
It won't move again.

It's because you were shaking it, May!
What do we do!?

Eh? I'm gonna freeze at this rate.
That'd be bad! Let's fly down!
We're gonna fly!?
Achoo!

School Trip at the End of the World ch35

The legends were true - May

What's this place?
The place famous for the Legend of the Celestial Maiden's Feathered Robe,
Mihonomatsubara!
What legend?

Heaven

So this is the sea...
How lovely~<3
This is mine.
Give it back!
It's the tale of a girl who came the human world from Heaven.
She loses the feathered robe she needs to return to Heaven and quarrels with a native...
or something along those lines...

May knows for a fact
that Japan has been popular with aliens since long ago~
Hmm~

Hm?

Since long ago?

The celestial maidens were aliens who came to Earth for sightseeing~
You didn't know that?
For real!?

For real.
The feathered robe was an old-fashioned spacesuit.
It's on display at the Earth Museum on Mars.
Really!?

May's an avatar,
so she doesn't need a spacesuit.
I don't really get it.

Is Earth really that great?
Of course it is!

Japan's otaku culture and high schooler culture in particular
has the entire universe seeking them out.
It has a certain charm that gets them all emotional...
Yeah, yeah.

Huh? But doesn't Mars currently
have a ban on travelling to Earth?

What reason could you have for coming here despite that, May?

That's...

because I admire high schoolers!
Heh?

Oh Mars,
just seeing a high schooler
makes you want to go see them...

so I came here looking for high schoolers☆
What kind of pose is that...?

So when May met Satsuki, a real-life high schooler,
May was incredibly moved...

Now being on a school trip with you
is really fun.

I-Is that so?
Yep~

What was I doing before I met May again...?

Fu

Well, ever since I met you, May,
it's been so crazy that I can't exactly call it boring.
Eep~!!
Uuh...! Don't bully May!

Besides,

I'm also having a lot of fun
now that I'm on this trip with you, May.

Satsuki...

Thank you!
Wah!?

Mai really loves you, Satsuki~!!
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know, okay!?

School Trip at the End of the World ch36

Your voice is too loud!! Shut up!! - Satsuki

Can you hear May!?
Hah~

Yay!!
Can you see May from the seats at the back!?

Budokan!!

Hey, May... What is this place?
Eh!? You don't know!?

Japan's Budokan is all about live rock performances!!
It's a status symbol for artists!!

May will be on guitar while Satsuki does vocals!!
Eeh...?

Easier said than done...

Wooooah! May wants to hear Satsuki sing! Wanna hear it! Wanna hear it!!
...That's scary.

I don't really know... any songs.
You really don't know any?
Hmm...

Ah...

There is one song Granny knew that we used to sing together.

Ooh.

That's a lovely song!!
May likes it!
...Yeah. Me too.

I had totally forgotten about it.

Then let's sing it together this time!!

That way, even if you forget it again, you'll remember that you sang it here!

...Sure!

School Trip at the End of the World ch37

Osu! Resu!! - May

We pledge~!

That we will play~ with sportsmanship~

...
What are you doing?

Hah...

You still haven't made your pledge yet, Satsuki?
This is Koshien Stadium!
I know.

It's a place where high schoolers used to gather and play baseball, right?

Granny said she used to watch it during the summer.

Okay! Then as the only high schoolers left here in Japan,
let's play baseball to decide who's the best in Japan!

Eh~?
Play ball!

Shinpan

Do we really need this?
Can't play baseball without a referee!

Here it comes, Satsuki.

If I must.

Take this! May's Ultra Hurricane Ball!!

How...?
Hmph.
Hehehe. I'm surprisingly good at this.

A-Alright then... Guess May will have to show you what a Martian can do.
Eh? We're still doing this...?

Yep. You're not gonna be hitting anything this time.

May's Ultra Hurricane...

Clone Miracle Ball!!

Wha-!

How am I supposed to hit those!?

Yay! You missed 9 balls, so May gets 9 points!
Wh-What the heck?

Fufufu. This is Martian Baseball, where there are no rules.

Alright, I admit defeat. Good work.
Later!!
Wah~ Wait, wait~!

Okay, 5, no, 3 points is fine!
A little lower.
You're so greedy!
Take the one point!
No, the one point is yours, May.
You can have it, Satsuki!
This makes no sense.

School Trip at the End of the World ch38

School trip
in
Nagasaki~!!

We're finally here! Nagasaki!!
The place where high schoolers in shoujo manga and movies spent heart-throbbing time together...
A popular spot that's a staple of a school trip!
Hmm. This bridge?

Non non!
This place has plenty of historic landmarks to visit
that are overflowing with exotic ambience!

Glover House
Dejima
Chinatown

And so on and so forth~

Now then!
Let's have a heart-throbbing school trip too!
Hey, um...

What do you mean
by heart-throbbing?

Eh? Did I say something weird?

!

There's only one thing to do to make you understand what's so heart-throbbing about Nagasaki, Satsuki...
Fufufufu

Tada~
A pretend wedding~!!

Why?
The Nagasaki church has an authentically Western structure, so it fits the mood perfectly!
What's this got to do with school trips?
Don't sweat the details!

Now then!
Here comes the bride and groom!

Yeah, this...
ain't happening.

That won't do~!
May!?

May wants to make Satsuki
the happiest bride in the universe!

Eh?

As long as there's love,
you can have a wedding anywhere!

Satsuki!
S'up.

May, the bridegroom...!

in sickness

and in health...

be it in an abandoned castle

or the far off reaches of Mars...

May swears
to be by Satsuki's side forever!

Fu.

You moron.

Wh-Who are you calling a moron~!?
We're gonna be together even without making a vow like that.
Eh!?

School Trip at the End of the World ch39

Quiet Down!!
Does this family crest not catch your eye!?

Family crest?
Family crest.

You listening, Satsuki?
Kyoto is a place where lots of periodical dramas were filmed.
It's the Holy land of periodical dramas!

So we're gonna put on our own periodical drama~!
What's a periodical drama? And what's it got to do with high schoolers?

Period dramas all began with the movies by Kurosawa and blah blah blah blah...
Ah, it's one of those Japanese otaku things...

So with that said~
here's a video camera~

We're gonna film a periodical drama with Satsuki as the lead!
Hah...

Now then, let's get you changed.
And then we'll give you a topknot...
Huh?
Topknots are kinda hard...
This'll do, I guess.

There it is! Satsuki's forehead!! Awesome!
Shut up!

Now! Grab your katana!
Grr...
What is this?

Now slice that tree over there in one strike! Action!
Like I can do that!!

You're so hopeless, Satsuki...
You gotta do it like this.

Slice!

...

Easy, right?
You really are a total moron.

Fine. May will be the star and Satsuki will work the camera.

Make sure to get May's good side, Satsuki!

Did you get everything, Satsuki!?

That's pretty good!
Yeah... Pretty good indeed.

School Trip at the End of the World ch40

Sharing a toast together is awesome - May

May, what are those?
Oh~
Those are...

retro vending machines!

Vending machines are those things that sell stuff like canned coffee, right?
But this is udon?

Udon Soba

You can buy food from vending machines too.

What's more, this vending machines prepares it on the spot,
so you can eat it piping hot!

Let's try it out right away.
Will it even work!?

The martians maintain all kinds of things in this area.
Ah~ For the remaining humans on Earth, I guess.

Wha- Sold out!?

Tempura Udon
Push
Sold out

This one and this one too!
It's all sold out~!

No way~
It can't be helped if there's no food.

...Being told we can't eat it just makes May want to eat it more.

Since it's come to this, let's check all the vending machines!
Kwah
Eh~?

There!!

Chicken

There was just one left.

Hot snacks

It's a chicken burger.

Let's buy it right away.
You need a coin for this?
Yay~
That's how these machines work.

Hot! Hot!

Wah...

Eat it while it's nice and hot.
Yeah.

...
...Yeah...

It's fine... I guess?
The enjoyment comes from waiting for it to be made.
You think so~?
I do~

School Trip at the End of the World ch41

What should I write here? - Satsuki

Today's
destination is~♪

One of Japan's top three beauty spots,
Amanohashidate~!
Heh~ That's an interesting shape.

Amanohashidate
is a rare terrain spread across the ocean current.
This beautiful scenery
is often said be like a dragon forming a bridge across the heavens~!

And the way in which hip and trendy youthes enjoy this scenery
is the good old
crotch peek~!
C-Crotch...?
Eh... What...?

If you look past your crotch like this, it looks like Amanohashidate is floating in the sky!
Eh~...

Come on. You try it too, Satsuki~!
Eeeh...?

Woah...
It certainly looks like a dragon forming a bridge across the sky...
Right~!

Uh... Blood's rushing to my head...
What a weaking~!

May'sh shorry~

...But
May never thought she'd get to see Amanohashidate with my own eyes, so May's happy~!

? That so?

May heard that because of all the destruction that happened to Earth,
all sorts of its natural beauty had been lost.

So getting to see this right here and now is like a miracle.
Heh~

Eh?
...Eh?

S-S-S-Satsuki.
You know the relation between Earth and Mars, right...?
O-Of course I do!
Mars accepted immigrants from Earth, right?

I know that... but
it didn't interest me that much so... I don't really know the details... or something like that...

...May thought you were ignorant, but not to such a level...
Don't act shocked for real!?!!!

W-Well y'know.
As long as I had granny and that house, I didn't really need...
...anything else.

..That just means
your granny was really important to you, Satsuki!

...
...Yeah.

Wah~!
The beach is pretty too~!

...
...Oh yeah.

That place was everything to me,
so I didn't care about what was happening in the outside world.

...But
Satsuki~!!

What are you doing~?
Get your butt over here too~!

...I think I'm glad
that you came to save me.

?
What's up~?
...It's nothing.

I'll be right there.

_ School Trip at the End of the World ch42

The full story behind the end of the world.

That felt great, huh~

Yeah~

The autopurification ability of Earth's nature is amazing.
It's on par with the preciousness of high schoolers!
Everything's about high schoolers with you, May.

High schoolers are great. They enrichen the heart.
They're at the peak of the culture that Earthlings created.
Don't you feel the same, Satsuki?
What are you talking about?

More importantly,

that thing you're sitting on is from "that disaster", isn't it?

That's right.

May, just what happened to the Earth?
Granny would never tell me about it.

Let's see~

It's because of those things.

The Earthlings' destruction of the environment
brought Earth to its limit.

Their overconsumption of food and resources brought Earth to ruin, as if it were natural.
It became unsuitable for humans to live here.

As the amount of habitable land decreased,

humans raged wars over each other's land.
Thus, the humans of Earth
were brought to the brink of extinction.

And the ones who witnessed all this were us Martians.

...Everyone was close to breaking, weren't they?

...Yes. That's right.

And so, the Martian government, feeling that the destruction of Earth's culture would be bad for the entire universe...
decided to save Earth.

That's...

That's right... It's a Martian immigration ship.

__
School Trip At the End of the World ch43

A Martian Immigration Ship... It's my first time seeing one.

It's probably here to pick up residents from the Amanohashidate area.

So there were still people around here?
You may not know this, Satsuki,
but there's still people who haven't migrated here and there.

I see... So there's gonna be even less people on Earth now.
Hah...

They have their reasons, don't you think?

That...
may be true...

but...
this is the planet where I made memories with Granny.
I...

don't want to leave it.
...Yeah.

Hey there, you two.

Fancy flying into you here.
That Administration Bureau bot again!?

You seem to be everywhere.
This is just a projection of my avatar for interface purposes.

By changing the channel, I can be anywhere.

Really?

This thing's something like a video camera.
The real one is on Mars.
Hmm~
I kinda get it but kinda don't.

You, the Martian there.
I'm relieved to see your avatar is in working order.
Thanks for your help back then.

By the way, you two,
there's six months left until the deadline for you to prove the usefulness of your school trip.
Are you making progress?

If it seems impossible,

that ship over there
can take you to Mars right now.

May told you that she's gonna spend the rest of her life with Satsuki!
So just shut up and wait for us!

Yeah.

Just wait and see
the awesome memories
that we're gonna make.

I see. Understood.

Well then, I will see you another day.

Let's go!
On our school trip!

School Trip At the End of the World ch44

High schooler
Alien

Hey, May, what are you doing?
And where even are we?
Fufufu. What a foolish question, Satsuki.

This place is known as the Legendary Arcade.
May's fixing up these games, obviously!

Arcade?
A video arcade.
A place where boys and girls of all ages gather from all over the country to test their skill.

Even adults?
Especially adults.

Wooooah!!
It's a place where everyone can let loose after work.

Is that so...?

It works!!

Let's do this, Satsuki!
I've never played a game before...

Push the A Button

You're so hopeless. You do it like this~
Ah. Punching and kicking, right...?

Round 1 Fight!

Gh. I lost.

Fufufufu. Back on Mars, May is known as V for Victory.

Is that what you call yourself?

Shut up!!

May's gonna slap that big mouth of yours shut!
Yeah, yeah.

Aren't you getting better at this, Satuski!?
I've gotten the knack of it.

Aah!

Uwaah! May loses~

This is pretty fun.

Kh... Sore winner...

One more! Let's go one more time!
You're on!
May will win this time!!
We'll see about that.

School Trip At the End of the World ch45

High schoolers are an endangered species - May

Uwah~ What a valley.
We're gonna excavate dinsoaurs!
Dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs are a species that lived a hundred million years ago.
Heh~
Romantic, right?

It's an ammonite fossil! We found something good!

!?

There it is!! A dinosaur's tooth!!

This is a huge discovery!

?

Fufufu.

Let's dig up a dinosaur!
Should've seen that one coming.

Uwooooah!
Ah! Wait up!

!?

May!

What is it?

Under your feet! Look down!
Huh?

Wah~!!

School Trip At the End of the World ch46

May can't keep up!! - May

Hm hm hmm~♪

Hmm~♪

Hmhm~♪
Hmm~ hmm~♪

You sure seem cheerful for some reason.

The reason should be obvious, Satsuki.
tsk tsk tsk
Good grief. You don't know?

It's the "Sunset Stairs"!

Stairs?

What are we doing here today?
Fufufu...

We're looking for cats!
Nya~n
Huh?

Nya~ nya~ nya~ nya~ nya~ nya~
The Sunset Stairs are the number one gathering place for cats.
Cats from around this area come here to relax.
Heh~

So with that said...

Let's look for some cats!
Yeah~
Yeah?

...There's none to be found~
Looks like it...

It's probably because there's no food around these parts either...

We're sure to find a cat as long as we don't give up the search...!
Eh? We're still looking?

!
M-May...!

Hm?

It got big!!

It seems that without humans around, they abandoned their survival strategy of being "cute and small".

Being earnest...

Moron! That's a tiger! Run for it!

Don't worry~

See? You try it too, Satsuki!
Eeh...?

Wah...

It's so fluffy...

School Trip At the End of the World ch47

Found a landmark - May

One!
Two!
Three!

BUNGEEE!!

Hurry up and jump too, Satsuki!
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!

That is definiately not happening!!

Eh~?

But we came all the way here

to Gifu Bungee, the highest bungee spot in Japan,
so you should try jumping at least once~

The scenery is beautiful too!
Even if you say that...

Besides, you've got good reflexes, so you'll be fine.
Reflexes and scary things have nothing in common!

Oh, but they do.

Even if the worst happens and you fall, there's a river below us
so just swim to safety and it'll be all okay!
Yay~

Absolutely not!
Eh~?

You can jump since you're brave, May, but I just don't have that courage.

That's not true! May's scared of high places too!
But May was able to bungee jump

because she's with you, Satsuki.
May can be brave because we're together.

May...
What about you, Satsuki?

O-...
Okay!

Here I go...!
Go go!

Waaaaaaah...

Here, Satsuki. I'll support you, so open your eyes.

You jumped, Satsuki.

The two of us can do anything!

Fu

...But wouldn't you be okay even if you fell from space, May?
It's an unspoken convention.

School Trip At the End of the World ch48

That was a close one - Satsuki

National Diet Library
Manga

Ooh!

Viewable Online - 27668
On Public Internet - 330
Restricted to Building - 27214

You can access so many books.
Amazing, right~?

The National Diet Library has pretty much every Japanese publication.
There's books, newspapers, music CDs and even video games.
Why are you acting smug about it, May?

It's being managed by the Martians right now.
Preserving Earth's culture, was it?

There's lots of books here,
so maybe they've got May's favorite manga too...

Kya~~~~!!

May's favorite manga, "The Two High School Girls' Easygoing Trip",
ended halfway!!
Wah~

The Two High School Girls' Easygoing Trip [Further Publication Undecided]

And May came to Earth to read the continuation.
It's too much~
That "getting axed" thing, huh...?

Just give up.
No way!

It's the story of an alien named Machi and a high school girl named Yayoi...
who become friends and go on a trip to find what Machi is looking for...

! It's just like us...

But this manga...
ended before they could find what they were looking for.
May loves it when two people are close...
May's always yearned for it.

They've why May doesn't want things
to end like this...

...
Hmm...

...In that case,

How about we...
write the ending ourselves?

...Satsuki!

You're not usually this assertive!
It's fine, isn't it?

Let's get to work!
Hip hip hooray~

I'm sorry, Machi. We couldn't find what you were looking for.
Not at all.

Machi has already found it.
The precious thing Machi was looking for.

It's Yayoi, Machi's most precious friend
in the entire universe.

What a wonderful ending.
Good for you.

It's all thanks to you, Satsuki.
Thank you.

...Yeah.

Now then, without further ado...
What are you gonna do with that manga?

I'm gonna register it in the library as it's official sequel♪
Please don't.

School Trip At the End of the World ch49

High Schoolers - Not Guilty

Confirmed - May

I know this place. It's a courthouse, right?
This is no ordinary courthouse.

This is the Supreme Courthouse!
It's where those who commit crimes are sentenced!
Heh...
Then...

You're sentenced to no dinner tonight, May!

Objection!

What's this all of a sudden!?
You committed the crime of eating my cup ramen.

That's because you ate May's share the other day, Satsuki...
That was only because you ate mine even before then.

Grr...

The Supreme Court wouldn't hold trials over this!
They hold trials over more serious cases!!

Eh~ In that case...
Hmm~

The crime of oversleeping.
Objection!
The crime of getting lost.
Objection!
The crime of constantly breaking things.
Objection!

Hmm? So what kind of case would the Supreme Court hold a trial over?

...

Objection!!
You just wanted to say that, didn't you?

Busted, huh?
Then you're guilty of the crime of always making me worried~

Boo~

Why is it all about me, Satsuki!?
Aren't there any other cases!?

Of course there aren't.
Fu

I've been with you this whole time,
so there's nothing else besides you, May.

Then it can't be helped!
Nyahahaha

Yep.

Thus, you're sentenced to no dinner tonight!

Eh~~~!?

Are you that upset over a cup ramen!?
May will apologise!! May is sorry!!

When you think of Lake Biwa, you think of...!

The Birdman Award!!
Birdma-... Eh?

It's a contest where people make manmade airplanes and try to fly the furthest!
And why am I the one pedalling?
You're the pilot, after all!

That's your doing!!

I was wondering how I was floating so quickly!
Put those tentacles away!
Eh~?

But Earthlings are powerless...
You're missing the whole point of the contest!

Yeah yeah~

Honestly. I've been trying really hard to pedal...
Sorry about that~

But with May's help, you'll be able to ride on some good wind!
Eh?

Wah!
We're flying!
Amazing! This is amazing!
Ma-...

Ah.

Satsuki!!

...Well,
falling like this is part of what makes the Birdman Award truly great.
Seriously!? There's a contest like that!?

School Trip at the End of the World ch52

Come to think of it...

May's never been in an actual school before...
A school trip apparently takes place outside of school, after all.

Okay!

Then let's go to school today!
That will be our school trip!
Go~ go~
Weren't you listening? You're so hopeless~

Ding dong ding dong~
Ahem. It is now lunch time.
You're imitating the bell too?
Let's eat on the roof while we're at it.

Hurry up, Satsuki~
Yeah, yeah.

I wonder

if we would've spent every day like this.

Ooh~ What a great view!

...
Say.

If we met at school normally,
do you think we would've become friends?

?

I mean, our meeting was coincidence, so...

Fu

That goes without saying!
You're May's fated friend, Satsuki!

Come on! You're up next, Satsuki!

Go on! Go on!
Hey! Don't push!

I want
to be with May forever!!

Man, it's pretty embarrassing when you say it so bluntly like that.
Hohoho
You're the one who made me do it!
Wh-Why you!!

Pft

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Since we're here, let's enjoy more of this school life!
Sounds good~! I wanna try getting in the pool.
Ooh! Nice idea, Satsuki!

School Trip at the End of the World ch53

...So with that said, our next mission is at the school pool!
"Operation Let's Enjoy Youth!"

...But...

...Well, I kinda expected this.
Whyyyyyyyyyyy?

...Even
so!

One shouldn't look down on a martian's weeding power~!!!!
I can't tell if that's supposed to be hi-tech or analogue.

Big stack...

Hmmm...
This is...

There must be some leaks, cos it's not filling up...
But whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Second scream today

It's getting dark. What should we do...?

...Since it's come to this~

Let's throw in May's prized firworks and pump up the excitement~!
Where did those come from...?

When you think of youth, you think sneaking into the pool at night to light fireworks!
And smashing the school building's windows!
...I don't really get it,
but I can at least tell those are things you probably shouldn't do.

There! It's lit~!
Wah...
Pretty...

Now then!
Let the party night of youth begin~!

Ah~ That was fun!
...Yeah.

It really
was fun.

...It's a shame about the rest, but how about we call it a day?

...
Hey.

Could we chat
for just a little longer...?

~~~

Of course!
The night of youth is just getting started~!

School Trip at the End of the World ch54

Martian
Earthling

How about this one?

Looks good.

May can't decide.
They're all awesome!

It's my first time making an album, so it's difficult.
I wonder if I can pull it off...

It's fine! So long as we look at this,
we can remember all the fun we've had!

...Yeah, you're right.

All of these photos remind me... that we had fun.
That the two of us were here.

So let's fill it with the memories
that only the two of us share.

It's finished!!

And now the finishing touch!

What are you writing?
Just "album" would be boring, so let's give it a name!

This is the title?
Sure is! Cool, right?

It's pretty good.

School Trip at the End of the World
May & Satsuki

Let's go, Satsuki!

Yeah!

School Trip At the End of the World ch55-1

Shibuya, Tokyo.

Now then. It is time.
Please demonstrate the usefulness of your school trip.

Of course!
Look at the results of May and Satsuki's school trip!

...Can it even read that?
It's probably just scanning it.

I return this.

All this tells me is that you went to various places in Japan.
Please show the usefulness of your school trip.

The album is just the start.
A school trip... is about important experiences and memories.

You may be able to make memories by going on a trip by yourself.
But if it's two people!

...Yes. After it became two of us, my world started filling with color again.
We got caught up in a lot of trouble,
but we were able to overcome all kinds of obstacles because there were two of us.

All of that becomes memories
and with an album, we can remember them vividly at any time.

Those feelings are the proof of its usefulness.
Yep.
Yeah.

Mars Monitor Room

Fu

Congratulations.
You have splendidly demonstrated the usefulness of your school trip.
!

Which means!?
You are free to remain on this planet.

YAY!!

May, now we can keep being together.

Yeah! Our school trip is just getting started!

Yeah!

Eh!? What!?

Is it broken again...!?
Don't worry. It's just an emergency call from inside the winter hibernation pod.

Don't worry. She's just transmitting.

Satsuki...

What's wrong?

Dad has...

...collapsed.
...!?

School Trip At the End of the World ch55-2

What...
should May do...?

Just go!
You'll definitely regret not being with your family at such an important time!

But without May, you'll be...!
It's okay!

I'll wait for you
for as long as it takes.

...Alright.
Satsuki.
May's heading off!

It seems the avatar has switched to energy conservation mode.
If you'd like, shall I take that avatar back to Mars?

...I told May I would wait for her, after all.
...Is that so? Then I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

...May.

...It's been six months already...

Erm.
Do you know who I...

Welcome back, May!

I'm home, Satsuki.

Hahaha.
Ehehehe.

...May.
What's that?

They're here from Mars on a school trip!
...Looks like things are gonna get busy again.

Well then! Let's go greet them!
Righty-o!

School Trip at the End of the World - Fin

School Trip At the End of the World ch40.5 - Ex Episode 1

May
just had a thought.

Since we're on the topic of weddings,
we should go on a honeymoon!

No, this is a school trip, isn't it?
Say what!?

You don't wanna go on a honeymoon with May, Satsuki!?
Eh?

I mean... a honeymoon or whatever
is a bit... sudden...

Come on, just guide me already!
Ah! Wait for May~!

This is Kyuushuu, Miyazaki Prefecture.
It has many places that are steeped in legend.

Especially Takachicho!

Hmm... Why did you want to have a honeymoon here?
!

Oh...? You're interested in honeymoons now?
!

That's not it!
Aaah!!

The reason why!
Dates back!
To Bakumatsu!?
When the heck is Bakumatsu!?
It was the end of the samurai era!

And! The gallant adventurer who appeared, Sakamoto Ryouma!
Who!?!??

Ryouma came here to Takachiho!

We're on our honeymoon.

Japan's very first honeymoon was held
in Takachiho!

M-Mountain climbing for a honeymoon...?
That's hardcore...
The-...
There's a reason we're mountain climbing.

It's this,
the Amanosaka Spear~!
...The heck is that?

The Amanosaka Spear... It is
a sacred spear...
...and also
Sakamoto and his wife came here...

And guess what! They pulled the spear out together~!
I thought you said it was sacred?

I-I don't really get it,
but wouldn't you get struck by lightning for touching stuff like that without asking!?

It's because it's a holy spear
that even...
if May were to be struck my lightning...

May wants to pull out the Amanosaka Spear and act like we're on a honeymoon!!!!!!
That makes no sense!!!!!

Eh? The weather worsened all of a sudden...
Kya!!!!

It's cos you went and did something weird, May!
B-But!
See!!!!?

Apologise!!

I-It's...
May's fault...
May is sorry~~~~~!!!!!!

...
...
...
It... stopped?

...
Th-
That was scary~~~!!!

Hah

...
Hey... um.

I'm willing to go anywhere with you, May.
...But
not if it put you in danger...

..... How many times have we had this discussion now????
Y-You're breaking it!
May's sorry~~

...For now... shall we take a photo?
...Sure.

...So?
How'd you like the honeymoon?
Eh?
W-Well~....

May thinks she's had enough honeymoons~...
Yeah yeah.

ch40.6 Ex Episode 2

UFO Ramen

We've been to all kinds of places.

...Huh? Where is May by the way?

...What did you find this time?

Satsuki! Care for some ramen!?

Ah, sure, thanks.

Huh? Where's the hot water?

ALL WROOOOONG!
THAT'S THE WRONG WAY OF THINKIIIING!
Gya~ Gya~

Satsuki! You don't get it! This is a food cart!

...The heck is that?

Starting with simple food carts at the end of the war, business boomed at the height of the Showa Era. Everyone from salarymen to little kids
were given peace and tranquility by these ramen carts!
And if you go back to the Edo era, they served as the origin of fast food with stuff like soba and sushi. Japan's food culture wouldn't exist without them!

Yeah yeah, I get it. Sorry about that.
You know way too little, Satsuki!!

Since it's come to this, Mei's gonna teach you
all about food cart ramen!!
Yeah!!

Stock pot!
There's a hole in it.

Noodles!
The dried kind.

Soup!
The powdered kind.

Char siu with an egg!
*Due to circumstances, she couldn't prepare this.
The heck? That sounds good.

Kh... We don't have any ingredients.

Since it's come to this!

Wait, so it's just this in the end!?
Kh...! If only we had ingredients...!

Ramen-ya
Miracle Panda Flavor

But y'see, Satsuki! With this...
With this atmosphere, it tastes completely different.

And also when you're eating with someone.

What's wrong?
You're stretching upwards.

...May will make that ramen even more delicious!
That so?

May's swore that she'll be with Satsuki for life!
So just shut up and wait!

However...

Objection!!
You just wanted to say that, didn't you?

the end is drawing near??
