Kasimasi ~Girl meets girl~ 9
Hazumu is having a dream about when she was a child. She sees a pink and a white circle, but then the circles turn into Tomari and Yasuna, who run away. Then Hazumu’s mother picks him up and runs away with him, while he’s crying. The next day, Hazumu is sitting in a drinking place with Tomari, Yasuna and Ayuki and can’t decide what to take. Tomari says that he’s always been so indecisive. Ayuki then mentions the festival that’s going on at the shrine, and the four girls decide to go together that evening. Asuta, who is sitting a little further, feels left out and asks them to meet him there at six. Ayuki says to meet at five and tells the girls to wear yukatas. Tomari’s in a pinch, because she doesn’t have a yukata, but she doesn’t dare to tell the others. Therefore, she decides to go and buy one, but they are all too expensive. Luckily she meets Yasuna at the shop, and she is willing to lend Tomari a yukata. In the mean time, Hazumu and Jan-puu are getting ready for the festival, and Hazumu’s parents tell a story of when Hazumu was young and went home crying after the festival, but Hazumu can’t remember.
When they arrive at the festival, both Hazumu and Jan-puu are very excited, and Tomari and Yasuna both feel relieved. It seems they noticed Hazumu’s sad face before, when mentioning the festival. The girls are having lots of fun at the festival, and have completely forgotten about Asuta, who is still waiting for Hazumu and dreaming. Namiko-sensei is also there, dreaming about Sora-sensei ^_^; After a while the girls get hungry and Jan-puu wants to eat cotton candy. Hazumu asks her which she likes best, the white or the pink, and Jan-puu says she likes pink best. She then asks Hazumu the same question, but Hazumu can’t decide. At that moment, Yasuna offers Hazumu some candied apple, and Tomari offers him some takoyaki, and Hazumu can’t decide again and runs off. Sora-sensei finds her alone and uses the antenna on his head to read Hazumu’s memory. When Hazumu was young he went to the festival with his parents and wasn’t able to decide which colour of cotton candy he wanted to eat. Suddenly it started to rain, and they ran home, without any cotton candy. His mother told Hazumu that it was his own fault and that one day he would have to make an important decision and be unable to do it. Hazumu then starts crying because she realises that she will have to choose between Yasuna and Tomari, but she can’t. The two girls happen to overhear Hazumu and Yasuna asks a favour of Tomari. When Hazumu returns, both Yasuna and Tomari are carrying a cotton candy, a pink one and a white one, and Hazumu can have both ^_^ Then the girls go at the annual ritual, where one has to choose between two cups. Tomari and Yasuna encourage Hazumu to choose, and even though she lost, she is happy that she was able to make a choice. Then the fireworks start, and while the three girls are watching them together, Hazumu prays to God to give her a little more time, and that the three girls can stay together a little longer.
With only three episodes to go, it is clear that Hazumu will have to make a choice. I felt sorry for Asuta in this episode, but I guess, as the story is coming to an end, there is no more room for him in the story, now it is really focussing on the three girls. I am really curious who Hazumu is going to pick, I still think it should be Yasuna, but that may be a personal preference.
