Its the long awaited beach episode!

Izumi Konata

Beach episode, everyone! Just like in all my favorite anime!

Izumi Konata

I've been waiting all year for this character development opportunity!

Gotoh Hitori

S-so many people... I should have practiced swimming in private first...

Gotoh Hitori

(What if someone recognizes me from band performances? I'm not mentally prepared for fans seeing me in a swimsuit!)

Kasuga Ayumu

Ya know, I wonder if the sea is salty because fish cry in it...

Kasuga Ayumu

Or maybe it's whale sweat? Do whales sweat?

Noko Shikanoko

Almost done with my masterpiece! It's a sand castle with twenty-seven rooms!

Noko Shikanoko

Everyone will get their own room, plus a dining hall, kitchen, and throne room!

Kuroki Tomoko

I'm only here because the internet said beach episodes increase a girl's popularity...

Kuroki Tomoko

So far I've just gotten sand in uncomfortable places and no boys have noticed me!

Izumi Konata

Hey, Bocchi! The water's perfect! Come on in!

Izumi Konata

I promise there are no sharks, just some small fish that might nibble your toes a bit!

Gotoh Hitori

N-nibble?! I can't deal with nibbling! What if they're music critics in disguise?!

Gotoh Hitori

Why do beach days have to be so stressful?!

Kasuga Ayumu

Ah, I feel just like sea lettuce... driftin' with the tide...

Kasuga Ayumu

Maybe in my past life, I was actually kelp. That would explain a lot...
